3. Flags - Discussion. Following the President's
declaration of an end to the Gulf War, staff made the
decision to remove the American flags displayed
throughout the Town. No disrespect was intended, and in
response to several telephone calls received by staff
from concerned citizens, the citizenry has formed a group
to regularly advise staff on flag protocol. The Board
acknowledged tentative plans to display the flags on
April 4-7 during a nationwide observance for veterans of
all wars, as well as a Fourth of July extravaganza to
signal the return of most troops from the Middle East.
Repair of existing flags and purchase of new flags will
be undertaken in the near future.
4. Stanley Historic District Ordinance. An initiated
ordinance to declare a Stanley Historic District on 95
acres consisting of a tract of land located in Sections
19 and 24, Town of Estes Park, Tract 2 of the Stanley
Addition to the Town of Estes Park; Lot 1 Birch
Resubdivision of Block 1 Birch Addition to the Town of
Estes Park; and Lots 1 and 2, Block 11 in the Town of
Estes Park, Colorado was submitted on March 11, 1991 to
the Town Clerk, who will ascertain if all signatures are
valid. Following twenty days from receipt of the
petitions, the Town shall either pass the Ordinance or
schedule a special municipal election to determine the
issue. The Town Board will address this matter at its
March 26, 1991 Board meeting. Staff will review the
initiated ordinance and report to the Board prior to
March 26.
Staff requested Attorney White prepare a written opinion
regarding the initiated ordinance's effect on the Knoll
development. Trustee Habecker voiced his concern that
the group responsible for submitting the ordinance had
not followed the Town's due process, i.e. submission to
the Planning Commission and Town Board. In answer to
Trustee Garrett's question regarding the group's haste in
submitting the ordinance and the lack of Planning
Commission review, staff responded the group furnished no
reason for its haste, the ordinance is not scheduled for
Planning Commission review, and the Town has twenty days
to either pass the ordinance, as written, or schedule a
special election. Trustee Aldrich stated he felt a
broader spectrum of the public should participate in
developing guidelines for ordinances of this nature.
Following completion of all agenda items, Trustee Habecker stated
he would respond to the letter received from the Contractor's
Association regarding the 1991 Occupation License fee, citing the
many Town services the Association members receive, as well as
noting the area's low property taxes. There being no further
business to come before the Board, Mayor Pro-Tem Hix adjourned the
meeting at 8:05 P.M.
