2. PUBLIC COMMENT
None.
MINOR SUBDIVISION PLAT, Shanafelt Subdivision, Lot 2, Prosser Subdivision,
1445 S. St. Vrain Avenue, Applicant: Gary & Christine Shanafelt
Planner Chilcott reviewed the staff report. She stated this is a request for a minor
subdivision to divide one iot into two. The iot is located at the corner of Tranquil Lane
and Highway 7, is zoned RM-Multi-Family Residential, and is 1.62 acres in size. The
applicant proposes to divide the lot into one 30,386-square-foot duplex lot (0.7
acres) and one 40,007-square-foot multi-family lot (0.92 acres).
The proposed lots meet the lot size, dimensionai standards, and configuration
requirements of the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC). As it currentiy exists,
the maximum allowable density on the iot wouid be thirteen units. If the proposed
subdivision is approved, the maximum allowabie density would be reduced by four
units, with a deveiopment potential of seven units on proposed Lot 2A and
development on Lot 2B limited to the two existing duplex units. No deveiopment is
currently proposed. If development on Lot 2A is proposed in the future, construction
of three or more units would require Planning Commission review and Town Board
approvai. Deveiopment of fewer than four units could be approved at the staff level.
A landscaped buffer is required between the property to the west zoned R-
Residential and the proposed dupiex lot (Lot 2B). Staff recommends waiving this
requirement since a duplex already exists on this lot and no additional units can be
built on the lot. Platted limits of disturbance are not required or recommended.
Staff recommends that the location of gas lines be shown on the plat and that the
plat be rerouted to the Public Works Department and to Upper Thompson Sanitation

District for their review and approvai prior to Town Board review on March 28, 2006.
ISO calculations for fire protection have been submitted; the Fire Chief has not
expressed any concerns about the calculations. Additional adequate public facilities
standards, including stormwater drainage and the possible requirement of a traffic
impact study, will be reviewed if development is proposed on Lot 2A. Staff is
supportive of retaining the existing access onto Colorado Highway 7 for the current
residences and any future development that may occur on the site. The construction
of sidewalk is not recommended because a non-motorized trail is located directly
across from the proposed lots along Highway 7.
The driveway access easement is currently thirty feet wide. Planning staff has
suggested that the applicant consider narrowing the driveway easement to twenty
feet, the minimum width required, and shifting the easement to the north, which
would provide a larger buildable area on proposed Lot 2A.
This request was submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff and to adjacent
neighbors for consideration and comment. Comments were received from the Town
of Estes Park Public Works Department, Town Attorney Greg White, Upper
Thompson Sanitation District, and Colorado Department of Transportation. Planning
staff received calls and emails from a few neighbors concerned about the type of
development that could occur on the proposed lots and how close to the adjoining
property line future development could be located. No written comments were
received from neighboring property owners.
Public Comment:
Mike Carnes, 1047 Tranquil Lane, stated his objection to rezoning the lot from estate
zoning to multi-family zoning, reducing the required setbacks, increasing density in
the neighborhood, the height of buildings that may be constructed in the future, the
impact future development may have on the water pressure in the adjacent Tranquil
Vale subdivision, and general objections to further development in his neighborhood.
Discussion followed with Chair Pohl, Director Joseph, Planner Chilcott, and Town
Attorney White each clarifying that the lot’s zoning will not change—it has been
zoned for multi-family use for at least twenty years—the required setbacks will not
change, and the allowable density on the proposed lots would actually decrease if
the subdivision is approved. Building height is governed by the EVDC, which limits
height to thirty feet.
There was further discussion over Mr. Carnes’ concerns about the lack of water
pressure in the Tranquil Vale subdivision. Town Attorney White advised Mr. Carnes
to address his concerns about the water pressure in the Tranquil Vale subdivision
with the Town water department and the Town Utilities Committee. He clarified that
this is not a development proposal, that the proposed subdivision meets all EVDC
requirements and therefore cannot be recommended for disapproval by the Planning
Commission.
Christine Collins, 1032 Tranquil Lane, requested clarification on the setbacks.
Planner Chilcott stated that the wording in the statement of intent was incorrect.
Although it refers to a reduction of setbacks, it is the setback from the new interior
property line shared by the proposed lots, not the setbacks from the front property
line or any neighbors’ adjoining property lines. Ms. Collins stated her opposition to
the subdivision request and her concern about not receiving notification of the
request. She noted that she also has poor water pressure at her residence.
Cliff Baker, 1062 Tranquil Lane, questioned the purpose of the meeting, the authority
of the Planning Commission, and who governs the density of development and
changes of zoning. He also asked about the number of parking spaces required per
unit and whether there is a requirement to provide room for a fire truck to turn
around.
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Planning Commission
February 21,2006
Sue Phelps, 1070 Tranquil Lane, stated she shares concerns raised by other
neighbors and that she had not received mailed notification. She questioned whether
consideration is given to the appearance of proposed development.
Meri Winkel, 1431 S. St. Vrain Avenue, questioned access to the proposed lots,
stating her concern that traffic would be redirected past the front of her residence.
Town Attorney White stated that whatever private property rights of access Ms.
Winkle has are not affected by this decision and can’t be changed by decision of the
Planning Commission.
Marilyn David, 1054 Tranquil Lane, requested and was provided a copy of the
neighbor notification mailing list. She questioned whether consideration is given to
required utilities or to neighbors’ comments and stated her objection to development
that may result in the loss of a “family” neighborhood.
Drew Sartell, Van Horn Engineering and Surveying, was present to represent the
applicant. He stated the owner does not wish to move the location of the driveway as
recommended by staff. He reiterated that the existing lot has the development
potential for thirteen units if the subdivision application is not approved. He stated
the Shanafelts are long-time residents of the area and are reducing the development
potential of the lot by proposing this subdivision.
Commissioner Hull recommended a neighborhood meeting between the owners and
the neighbors to clarify issues and address concerns. She and Chair Pohl thanked
the neighboring property owners for their input.
Commissioner Kitchen stated there is no legal obligation to mail notification to
neighboring property owners; it is done as a courtesy.
It was moved and seconded (Pohl/Kitchen) to recommend approval of the Minor
Subdivision of Lot 2, Prosser Subdivision, to the Town Board of Trustees, with
the findings and conditions recommended by staff, and the motion passed
unanimously with one absent.
CONDITIONS:
1. Plat approval shall be conditioned on comments in the affected agencies’
memos, letters, and emails referred to in the staff report.
2. The preliminary plat shall be rerouted by Van Horn Engineering and Surveying to
Public Works for their review and approval of the water service lines prior to
Town Board review.
3. The preliminary plat shall be rerouted by Van Horn Engineering and Surveying to
the Upper Thompson Sanitation District for their review and approval of the
sewer service lines prior to Town Board review.
4. The location of gas lines shall be shown on the plat prior to Town Board review.
The gas line to the existing duplex on proposed Lot 2B shall be relocated into
one of the proposed utility easements along the property line if it crosses Lot 2A
so the buildable area of Lot 2A is not limited.
Chair Pohl declared a ten-minute recess at 3:05 p.m.

AMENDED PLAT, Mary’s Meadow Development, Lots 2, 4, and Outlot A, Mary’s
Lake Replat of Mary’s Lake Subdivision,
AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN 06-01 and PRELIMINARY CONDOMINIUM MAP,
Mary’s Meadow Development, Proposed Lot 4A, Mary’s Meadow Replat of
Mary’s Lake Replat of Mary’s Lake Subdivision, East of Mary’s Lake Lodge at
the intersection of Kiowa Drive and Mary’s Lake Road, Applicant: Mary’s
Meadow Deveiopment, Inc.
Planner Chilcott reviewed the staff report. She stated this is an amended plat
application to consolidate three lots—Lots 2, 4, and Outlot A of the Mary’s Lake
Replat—into two lots, proposed Lots 2A and 4A. The total land area is approximately
7.8 acres; proposed Lot 2A is approximately 2.7 acres and proposed Lot 4A is
approximately five acres. The existing lots are zoned A-Accommodations/Highway
Corridor, no change in zoning is proposed. Density was transferred from Outlot A to
Lots 2 and 4 when the Mary’s Lake Subdivision was originally platted in 2000, so
removal of Outlot A will not result in an increase in density.
The lot size, dimensional standards, and configuration are appropriate for the
location of the subdivision and for the type of development and use contemplated.
The applicant has demonstrated that there are building sites on both lots.
When Mary’s Lake Subdivision was originally platted, Outlot A was created to
protect wetlands that were identified by TR Boss Environmental and Biological
Consulting, and to accept drainage from all lots in the subdivision except Lot 1. A
second wetlands study was prepared in 2005 by Darcy Tiglas, who concluded that
although two of the three required criteria for wetlands had been met, the third—
hydrology requirements—was not met and therefore wetlands were not present on
Outlot A. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers agreed with the conclusion. Planning
staff finds that the area has value as wildlife habitat, and is supportive of the
proposed elimination of Outlot A because a platted limits of disturbance, a no-build
area, is proposed, which would protect the area of greatest significance as open
space.
Drainage requirements changed with Larimer County’s adoption of new stormwater
drainage regulations in the summer of 2005. The drainage studies for the Mary’s
Lake Replat stated that no detention pond was required. The studies have been
updated as part of this amended plat application and now state that detention is
required. Detention facilities should be designed to improve the area’s natural value
and follow best-management practices. The Mary’s Meadow developrnent plari 06-
01 shows a preliminary drainage plan for a detention facility, which will be revised.
The applicant and planning staff desire to enhance the wildlife value of the area and
provide detention ponds that are natural in appearance. Multiple, smaller ponds are
being considered; detention may need to be split between Lots 2A and 4A.
This is also a development plan application to build thirty-five multi-family residential
units. Five single-family units, five duplexes (ten units), and five four-plexes (twenty
units) are proposed. Six accessory buildings are also proposed—a 6,000-square-
foot, two-story common building and five four-car garages. The plan meets all
required density and dimensional standards. A maximum of forty-one residential
units or 123 accommodations units are permitted on the property. The development
plan will also serve as the preliminary condominium map.
Only one principal use—residential use—is proposed and a note to that effect
should be added to the plat. Deed-restricted attainable housing is not proposed, and
no density bonus has been requested. Residential use of the property does provide
for rentals and the use of units as vacation homes, provided EVDC and municipal
regulations are followed.
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Planning Commission
February 21,2006
Although residential use is an allowed use in the A-Accommodations zoning district,
the accessory use standards for the A zoning district are designed for
accommodations development and are not appropriate for residential development.
In order to address neighbors’ concerns, the applicant has agreed to limit accessory
uses to those found in the RM-Multi-Family Residential zoning district and staff
recommends that a note stating so be added to the development plan. The total
square footage of accessory buildings is limited based on the square footage of all
principal buildings, but there is no limit on the number of permitted accessory
buildings in either the A or the RM zoning districts. In response to neighbors’
concerns about the proliferation of future storage buildings, staff recommends that
the number of additional accessory buildings be limited with this approval and that
the applicant add a note to the plan stating the maximum number of additional
buildings that will be allowed in the future. Staff recommends a maximum of five
additional accessory buildings and/or a total of 2,000 square feet in additional
accessory buildings be allowed; the applicant is supportive of this restriction.
Proposed accessory rooms within the common building include a laundry facility, an
art room, a library, a kitchen, and a meeting/dining room. Kitchen facilities in the
proposed common building are for use by residents who wish to eat meals together;
no restaurant is proposed. Staff believes the accessory rooms are incidental and
customarily found uses/rooms in a residential common building.
Because the community building will provide storage space for residents, planning
staff recommends the phasing of the development include construction of the
community building early in the process. Proposed phase I includes the first two
four-plexes, the community building, garages, and associated landscaping.
Proposed phase II includes construction of the tri-plexes and the remainder of the
parking. Planner Chilcott stated that staff recommends the phasing plan be revised
so that all detention is constructed when 25% of the building permits have been
issued for the entire Mary’s Lake subdivision and noted that development may have
already reached that point.
Neighbors’ concerns include the number of vehicles permitted on the property.
Parking is an accessory use and is permitted only in designated parking spaces.
Seventy-nine parking spaces are required; seventy are proposed, with areas
reserved for the addition of nine parking spaces if demand requires their
construction. Information should be provided on the development plan explaining
when construction of these parking spaces will be triggered and their construction
should be addressed in the phasing plan. Neighbors have also expressed concern
about overflow parking spilling onto Kiowa Drive and have requested that required
parking be constructed with each phase. Planner Chilcott noted that the developer is
not allowed to use off-site parking, including parking along the Kiowa Drive right-of-
way, during construction.
Given the number of parking spaces shown on the plan, no recreational equipment
or recreational vehicles will be allowed to be parked or stored on the property. The
applicant may choose to further limit allowed accessory uses through private
restrictive covenants. The property owners at 2824 Kiowa Trail have requested that
the driveway entrance on Kiowa Drive be relocated so that headlights do not shine
directly into their main window; this request has been shared with the applicant. Staff
has recommended that at least one handicapped-accessible parking space be
located near the common building.
Planner Chilcott stated the proposed development plan does a good job of
addressing operational and physical compatibility with existing use, with the
exception that the location of trash receptacles should be further reviewed.
Adequate public facility improvements for proposed Lot 4A are required to be
installed or guaranteed prior to issuance of the first building permit, and
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Planning Commission
February 21, 2006
improvements are required to be installed concurrent with the impacts of the
development. The proposed development complies with all applicable standards for
outdoor storage, areas, activities, and mechanical equipment. No concerns were
expressed by reviewing agencies about the provision of water, sewer, or electric
services to Lot 2A.
A traffic impact study was prepared and reviewed with the Mary’s Lake Replat in
2005; road improvements were required as a condition of plat approval. No further
improvements are required with this plat. The study assumed development of fifty
units on Lots 2 and 4 of the Mary’s Lake Replat; thirty-five units are proposed on Lot
4A, The study may need to be updated once development is proposed on Lot 2A.
A twenty-foot-wide pedestrian easement was dedicated with the Mary’s Lake
Subdivision plat and on the Mary’s Lake Replat and is accurately reflected on this
proposed plat. Planning staff recommends that the easement be relabeled and
dedicated as a non-motorized trail easement, which is consistent with the trail plans
for the area.
It is the opinion of planning staff that trail construction along the Lot 2A and 4A
property lines adjacent to Mary’s Lake Road was triggered with the Mary’s Lake
Replat, although it was agreed to delay trail design and construction until a
development plan for Lots 2 and 4, which is the area encompassed by proposed
Mary’s Meadow, was submitted. Estes Valley Recreation and Park District submitted
a letter recommending trail construction. The property owners involved in the replat
are not supportive of assuming responsibility for trail construction and will appeal the
requirement to construct the trail to the Town Board at their March 14, 2006 meeting.
The landscaping plan should be updated to be consistent with the development plan,
including any changes to drainage. Staff is supportive of installing landscaping along
Kiowa Drive in phase I, given concerns voiced by Kiowa Ridge property owners. The
timing of detention pond construction and the associated landscaping requires
further review and will be evaluated when plans are resubmitted prior to the March
21, 2006 Planning Commission meeting. Phasing for the open area and detention
pond construction and landscaping should be separate from phasing of unit
construction on Lot 4A.
Greg Sievers of the Public Works Department stated recent changes in the
applicant’s plans necessitates Fire Chief Scott Dorman’s re-verification that the ten-
foot-wide pedestrian path proposed between the residences will provide adequate
access for emergency vehicles.
Proposed Lots 2A and 4A are reverse-frontage lots. Building design may not be
such that long, blank walls face Mary’s Lake Road; additional landscaping may be
needed to buffer Mary’s Lake Road.
This request was submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff and to adjacent
neighbors for consideration and comment. Comments were received from the Town
of Estes Park Department of Building Safety and Public Works Department, from
Town Attorney Greg White, Estes Park Sanitation District, Estes Valley Recreation
and Park District, Larimer County Engineering Department, Larimer County Planning
and Building Services Division, Colorado Department of Transportation, and United
States Army Corps of Engineers. Written comments were received from neighboring
property owners Gilbert Thomas and Carol J. Gresslin of 2824 Kiowa Trail and from
William G. Howell of 3025 Sioux Court. Planning staff met with adjacent property
owners a number of times and attended the Kiowa Ridge homeowners’ association
meeting in January to answer questions about Town review of the applications.
Neighbors remain concerned with some aspects of the proposed development which
are beyond the scope of Town regulations and review.
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Planning Commission
February 21,2006
Planner Chilcott noted that development plan approval does not obligate a property
owner to build the approved units. The owner can request major or minor changes to
the plan or discard the approved plan and submit a new plan for review and
approval. The Estes Valley Development Code provides for minor modifications of
up to ten percent to be reviewed and approved by staff. Review by the Planning
Commission is required for more significant changes.
A finding that approval of this application will not be materially detrimental to the
public welfare, injurious to other property in the neighborhood, or in conflict with the
purposes and objectives of the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) is required;
however, planning staff needs additional information prior to making this evaluation.
Due to the complexity of the project, planning staff recommends the amended plat,
development plan 06-01, and the preliminary condominium map applications be
continued to the March 21, 2006 Planning Commission meeting, with resubmittal of
the applications with revised plans by February 28, 2006 to address issues
described in the staff findings portion of the staff report, including all affected
agencies’ comments that would necessitate changes to the plat. The revised plans
will be posted on the Town website at www.estesnet.com/comdev/
CurrentReauests.htm the following week; there will not be mailed re-notification of
neighbors or the additional publication of legal notice.
Commissioner Hull questioned whether patrons of Mary’s Lake Lodge would use the
parking in the proposed Mary’s Meadow development. Planner Chilcott noted that
some parking for Mary’s Meadow will be along Kiowa Trail, and reviewed the steps
that were taken to address neighbors’ concerns over the design of that road.
Although the road is in a public easement, it will be privately maintained and posted
at both ends with “Private, no through traffic” signs, which should minimize use of
the parking spaces by Mary’s Lake Lodge patrons.
Public Comment:
Frank Theis of CMS Planning and Design was present to represent the applicant. He
provided a copy of the detention area concept plan. He has been working with
wetlands expert Darcy Tiglas to design a plan that both enhances wildlife habitat and
improves the detention. He noted the applicant’s desire to create an area that will be
an amenity for the property. He also stated he represents all developers of the
Mary’s Lake Replat in their opposition to constructing the required pedestrian trail at
their expense. He noted there is ongoing negotiation with staff on this issue and that
the developers intend to appeal the trail requirement before the Town Board. In
response to a question from Director Joseph, he stated the detention ponds shown
on the concept plan may have seasonal standing water, depending on weather
conditions.
Chair Pohl questioned the applicant, Jim Tawney, whether he would agree to staff’s
recommendation of a continuance. Mr. Tawney stated he has postponed presenting
these applications to the Planning Commission since December in an effort to
address concerns raised by neighbors and planning staff and that he would be
willing to continue the applications for one additional month.
Joe Coop of Van Horn Engineering and Surveying was present to represent the
applicant. Commissioner Hull stated her reservations about the parking plan and her
desire to see all seventy-nine parking spaces constructed, as required by the EVDC.
Mr. Coop stated that co-housing studies show that number of parking spaces would
not be required to meet the needs of residents. Commissioner Klink noted that if the
co-housing plan failed and the units were to become condominiums at a later date,
the Commissioners would have done a disservice to the community. Commissioners
Hull and Klink also expressed their concern about emergency vehicle access to the
units. Mr. Coop stated he would review the access with Fire Chief Dorman again and
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

Mr. Tawney noted that the plan for emergency vehicle access is what was
recommended by Fire Chief Dorman.
Mr. Tawney also noted that the owner of Mary’s Lake Lodge has purchased property
from him in order to provide adequate parking for the lodge. He reiterated that Kiowa
Drive will be signed at both ends as a private road. He stated the proposed parking
is appropriate for the co-housing concept and that he will market the development to
people who are interested in co-housing.
Tom Gresslin, adjacent property owner of 2824 Kiowa Trail, highly praised Planner
Chilcott for all her work on this proposal, noting that she has served as an
intermediary between neighboring property owners and the developer when
communication between them was strained. He stated he lives directly across the
street from the proposed development and has no objection to it. He noted that
planning staff has done much and the developer has agreed to many changes to
address his concerns. He stated the proposed driveway coming out of the parking
area is on an upward slant and pointed directly at his bay window. He requested that
the applicant move driveway to the other end of parking lot, noting there is vacant
land to the east of his property all the way to Highway 7. He reminded Planning
Commissioners that they must ensure there is no injury to other property in the
neighborhood and stated the current egress from the parking area would injure his
property. He requested that the Commissioners deny the applicant’s request to
reduce the amount of parking provided. He requested the location of the common
building be changed so the building is closer to the lodge and the residential units
are closer to neighboring residential properties, stating that would provide
development that was more consistent with adjacent properties. He also requested
that the applicant provide more concrete information on covenants and restrictions
for the development, noting that co-housing in the Denver area has shacks,
chickens, and pigs on the property.
Commissioner Hull asked Mr. Tawney whether the driveway from the parking area
could be moved. Mr. Tawney stated that moving the drive could impact a future
owner. Chair Pohl pointed out that there is no choice for Mr. Gresslin, but a future
owner of an adjacent lot could choose where to place a window to eliminate the
problem of car lights shining into it.
Joe Ford, neighboring property owner of 2800 Kiowa Trail, stated he has spoken in
favor of other development in this area and that he does not oppose multi-family
development. He stated he has not received positive two-way feedback from the
developer about what the proposed development will look like in the future. He
stated his home is approximately 150 feet from the front door of the proposed
common building and listed multiple concerns with the possible future use of the
common building, including community gatherings every night. He stated e does not
wish to look out his front window at a common building that may have a bus or
snowplow parked there all the time. He reminded Commissioners about the EVDC
requirement that development be consistent with surrounding neighborhoods. He
stated his concern about the lack of garages for the residences and about co-
housing developments in Denver and Boulder that are In various stages of
deterioration. He would like to see controls placed on this project.
Mr. Tawney stated that not all current co-housing is deteriorating; some co-housing
developments are city showpieces. He reminded Commissioners that the issue of
protective covenants is not a part of the development plan process and stated one of
the parts of co-housing is the process of consensus building among residents. As
the developer and owner of the property, he is trying to create a structure that will
allow the eventual residents of the development power over the covenants. Chair
Pohl and Town Attorney White confirmed that review of covenants is not part of the
development plan application process. Town Attorney White noted that covenants
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Planning Commission
February 21,2006
are reviewed when the final condominium map application is processed; the
covenants are not reviewed for use regulations, they are reviewed for consistency
with Town regulations on things such as density and declarant’s rights.
Mr. Tawney went on to note that co-housing is a viable housing option for teachers,
town and hospital employees, and other working members of the community, noting
that his vision of shared transportation is not a big bus, as Mr. Ford alluded, but
rather four or five people car-pooling to work.
Commissioner Kitchen encouraged the applicant to consider redesigning the parking
egress to eliminate car lights shining into Mr. Gresslin’s window.
In order to receive more information on the proposed detention area, on the
comments made by the Pubiic Works Department, on the emergency vehicie
access to the proposed residentiai units, and on the proposed number of
parking spaces, it was moved and seconded (Hull/Klink) to continue the
Amended Piat request for Mary’s Meadow Deveiopment, Lots 2, 4, and Outlot
A, Mary’s Lake Repiat of Mary’s Lake Subdivision, and the Development Plan
06-01 and the Preliminary Condominium Map requests, Mary’s Meadow Repiat
of Mary’s Lake Repiat of Mary’s Lake Subdivision, to the March 21, 2006
Pianning Commission meeting, and the motion passed unanimously with one
absent.
5. REPORTS
None.
Director Joseph expressed his appreciation for Planner Chilcott’s hard work on the
Maiy s Meadow development proposal. He stated she has done an outstanding job and
further expressed his appreciation of her work as Acting Director while he was out of
town.
Chair Pohl expressed his appreciation of Mr. Tawney’s willingness to continue his
requests to the next Planning Commission meeting.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:53 p.p.m.
