which resulted in no serious injuries.
2.A. Final Plat of Timberlane Subdivision. Mayor Pro Tem Hix
opened a public hearing to consider said Final Plat, a
Subdivision of Tract 1, Beaver Point, Second Addition,
Curtis & Pat Thompson/Applicant. Community Development
Director Stamey noted the Applicant is proposing to divide
two (2) existing tracts into three (3) lots to provide for
new cabin units. Director Stamey confirmed that all five
(5) conditions set by the Planning Commission had been met.
There being no persons speaking in favor of, or in
opposition to the proposal, Mayor Pro Tem Hix closed the
public hearing. It was moved and seconded
(Barker/Habecker) the Final Plat of Timberlane Subdivision
of Tract 1, Beaver Point, Second Addition be approved, and
it passed unanimously.
B. Revised Special Review #92-1, Perearine Golf Course
(formerly Pinnacle Golf Course). Mayor Pro Tem Hix opened
a public hearing to consider the revised Concept Plan for
said special review, Peregrine Golf Group/Applicant.
Director Stamey identified the basic amendments to the
concept plan: phasing schedule, clubhouse location, number
of single-family units, and golf course layout. As there
were no persons speaking in favor of or in opposition to
the revised plan, Mayor Pro Tem Hix declared the public
hearing closed. It was moved and seconded
(Garrett/Aldrich) the Revised Special Review #92-1 for the
Peregrine Golf Course be approved with conditions 1-4 as
setforth in the March 17, 1992 Planning Commission minutes,
and it passed unanimously.
3. Monetary Donation/Art Collection. Community Development
Director Stamey reported that Ben Forbes, a frequent
visitor to Estes Park, has offered $5,000 to establish a
fund for the Estes Park Museum of Art, plus his collection
of three (3) watercolors and one (1) etching. The framed
watercolor entitled "Listen, Listen" was displayed.
Administrator Klaphake has been communicating with members
of the art community concerning the feasibility of an art
museum, and has determined that the proposal does have
potential. The Art Museum would display, not sell, art
work. Provided a room could be supplied, Mr. Forbes has
offered to display his art collection during the summer
months. Administrator Klaphake is proposing the west half
of Room 203 be temporarily scheduled for the art display
Monday through Friday, for the months of June, July and
August. This use would lend visibility to the concept.
Mr. Forbes would be responsible for staffing and security.
There is one scheduling conflict and Mr. Forbes would be
temporarily displaced on that date (August 11). After
August, the art collection may be exhibited at other public
facilities. In his letter dated December 20, 1991, Mr.
Forbes conditioned his donation with a statement that if a
permanent museum facility is not established within ten
(10) years, the three watercolor paintings would be donated
to the New Orleans Museum of Art. The Town's expense in
this summer art exhibit is $140.00/year. It was moved and
seconded (Garrett/Aldrich) the Town (1) accept the donation
of artwork (3 watercolor paintings and 1 etching), (2)
accept the donation of $5,000 for the Art Museum concept,
(3) the use of Room 203 be limited to June -August, and (4)
agree with the 10-year provision as requested by Mr.
Forbes, and it passed unanimously. The Board expressed
their pleasure with Mr. Forbes and the concept, and noted
Board of Trustees - March 24, 1992 - Page 3
their desire for the continuance of such proposals. The
Board also commended Jenny Kosenka for her involvement on
this project.
Following completion of all agenda items, and there being no public
comment, Mayor Pro Tem Hix adjourned the meeting at 8:01 P.M.
