Town Administrator Klaphake noted the following: 1) On January 1, 1991, Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) will conduct elections and subsequently modify its official documents. Following receipt of correspondence from Platte River regarding this matter, Mayor Dannels has instructed Staff to inform PRPA that, for Platte River's purposes, Robert Dekker will remain Estes Park's designated representative to PRPA until 12/31/90. For purposes of the Town's Departmental functions, Richard Matzke will assume this position on 11/1/90. 2) The proposed occupation license fee increase continues to be reviewed and is on the Administrative Committee's October 29, 1990 agenda for further discussion. Approval of the October 15, 1990 Administrative Committee minutes does not imply approval of a fee increase. Board of Trustees - October 23, 1990 - Page 2 Trustee Hix questioned the definition of "service" businesses. Administrator Klaphake noted that, at the October 15, 1990 Administrative Committee meeting, the Committee's recommendation was to categorize "service" as those businesses such as electricians, plumbers, and the like. A further review prompted the Clerk to use the State's definition of "service" businesses, i.e. realtors, bankers, electricians, and the like. However, it is Town Counsel's opinion that Estes Park can write its own definition of "service" businesses. Trustee Barker noted the proposed occupation license fee increase for businesses other than "service" should read $275.00, not $250.00. The following Resolutions were introduced into the record and the Committee recommends their adoption: #23-90 INVESTMENTS - Authorizing investments entered into with Colorado Local Government Liquid Asset Trust (COLOTRUST). #24-90 INVESTMENTS - Authorizing investments entered into with Colorado Surplus Asset Fund Trust (CSAFE). #25-90 INVESTMENTS - Authorizing investments entered into with Jefferson County Colorado Surplus Funds Trust (JEFFTRUST). #26-90 INVESTMENTS - Authorizing investments entered into with Colorado Diversified Trust Funds for the Public Investor (CDT). It was moved and seconded (Garrett-Hix) the minutes be approved, and it passed unanimously. C. Minutes of the Public Works Committee meeting held October 18, 1990 were read. Trustee Dickinson noted the last word in the fourth sentence on page two should read east, not west. It was moved and seconded (Dickinson - Barker) the minutes be approved, and it passed unanimously. 2. Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting held October 16, 1990 were submitted. A. Public Hearing: Portion of Tract 3, Stanley Village Subdivision, Final Plat, Bill VanHorn/Applicant. Mayor Dannels declared the public hearing open. Community Development Director Stamey commented the Planning Commission reviewed this item a second time and received further information, primarily regarding the maintenance agreement between Park National Bank (proposed Lot 1) and the remainder of Stanley Village. The Planning Commission's recommendation includes the following conditions: 1. The maintenance agreement of July 31, 1989 between Park National Bank and Stanley Commercial Development be in effect, with the Town being notified of any future modifications. Staff recommends the Town be made aware of, and sign off on, any proposed modifications to this agreement. Board of Trustees - October 23, 1990 - Page 3 2. Required utility easements be provided. This has been done. 3. A notation be placed on the plat stating that the streets are private and are not maintained by the Town. This has been done. 4. A shared parking note be placed on the plat. Park National Bank has proposed they be allowed the ability to reserve 11 parking spaces for their use on the north side of the Bank. 5. A note be placed on the plat which states there shall be no freestanding sign on Lot 1. This has been agreed to, but the note has not been placed on the plat. Staff has received the attorney's letter and property pins have been set. Town Administrator Klaphake noted: 1) Following further review, Staff feels the July 31, 1989 maintenance agreement is adequate. 2) Staff remains in disagreement with the applicant regarding parking, in that parking within Stanley Village should not be segregated. The project was developed as a whole and shared parking should remain. Bill Van Horn, representing Stanley Commercial Development and PNB Partnership, noted the plat reflects dividing out the bank building and the pad on which it is located. The eleven parking spaces which the bank wishes to reserve in front of the building (north side) would be on private property, leaving ample parking available throughout the rest of Stanley Village. Town Administrator Klaphake reiterated, on behalf of the Urban Renewal Authority who initially approved the development, that Stanley Village was approved as a whole and that parking should not be segregated, but remain under the rules of the original approval. Bob Porter/Park National Bank addressed Trustee Garrett's question regarding why a shared parking note is not on the plat. Mr. Porter stated he is buying the building as well as the land around it and feels that if his customers cannot find a parking space, he should be able to restrict one or more of the eleven spaces for bank customers. Mayor Dannels declared the public hearing closed. It was moved and seconded (Habecker-Garrett) to approve the separation of Lot 1, Stanley Village Subdivision, with the aforestated conditions 1-5, and it passed unanimously. Board of Trustees - October 23, 1990 - Page 4 B. Public Hearing: Amended Plat of Lots 4, 5, 6, & 7, Elkhorn Club Estates, 220 Fall River Lane, Roy Jones/Applicant. It was moved and seconded (Hix-Garrett) this item be continued to November 13, 1990, and it passed unanimously. C. Public Hearing: special Review #90-5, Tracts 92, 93, 94, & 95, Fall River Addition, Fall River Road, Gerald A. & Lois Traeger/Applicant. Mayor Dannels declared the public hearing open. Community Development Director Stamey noted all conditions have been met and are noted on the plat. Director Stamey added that the bridge is Town -owned. Paul Kochevar/Estes Park Surveyors, representing the applicant, was present to address any questions. There being none, Mayor Dannels declared the public hearing closed. It was moved and seconded (Barker-Hix) Special Review #90-5 be approved, and it passed unanimously. D. Public Hearing: Second Modification to the Estes Park Downtown Redevelopment Program (the "Plan") - Resolution #22-90. Mayor Dannels declared the public hearing open. EPURA Executive Director Art Anderson spoke on behalf of the Second Modification to the Estes Park Downtown Redevelopment Program (the "Plan"). Rowland Retrum read a prepared statement to the Board, expressing in particular, his opposition to "spot -zoning", as it relates to properties such as the Knoll. Bill Van Horn countered with his belief that this is not spot -zoning. Other public comments in opposition to the Second Modification and development of the Knoll property were heard from Sharon Seely/Estes Park and John Akal/Estes Park. Mayor Dannels declared the public hearing closed. Attorney White noted the Second Modification includes replacement of a paragraph in the Plan entitled PHASE THREE: INTERMEDIATE RANGE PROJECTS (p. 9) with the following: "Private and public development of the Knoll property should be encouraged since the location of this property in relation to its excellent vehicular access and proximity to the downtown provides the ideal location for private development and public uses. Suggested uses for this property are: single-family dwelling; two-family dwelling; multi -family dwelling; public open space; municipal use; day care center; commercial; office, bank, professional services; restaurant and retail sales and services". Trustee Garrett queried whether the Urban Renewal Authority intends to review the entire Plan in the future. Mayor Dannels indicated in the affirmative, but stated that Plan review is not slated for the near future. Director Anderson stated the Urban Renewal Authority has received a development plan for this property and it is the opinion of the Authority's legal counsel that no development other than a conference center or municipal complex can be constructed on this site without a Plan modification. Trustee Habecker stated it is his belief the Town has no alternative but to reinstate, by modification of the Plan, uses defined in C-O zoning for this property (with exceptions i.e. amusements, adult entertainment, and the like). Trustee Aldrich introduced, and Town Attorney White read, Resolution #22-90, A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO, APPROVING A MODIFICATION OF THE ESTES PARK DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN). Trustee Barker seconded the motion and it passed by the following votes: Board of Trustees - October 23, 1990 - Page 5 Those voting Yes: Trustees Aldrich, Barker, Dickinson, Habecker, Hix.
