SCHRADER OIL COMPANY, POR. LOT 3, STANLEY ADDITION, 561 BIG
THOMPSON AVENUE (PHILLIPS 66 STATION!. STEVE SCHRADER/APPLICANT -
VARIANCE REQUEST. Applicant is reguesting a variance from Section
17.20.040, B.l.a. pertaining to building setbacks in a C-O zone.
Applicant wishes to have this setback reduced to 91, from 25', for
the installation of a new canopy and pump island. William Shields,
architect and representative for the applicant, stated the existing
canopy is too low to allow utilization of motor homes and campers,
thus making it necessary to request the reduced setback in order to
construct a new canopy and dispenser island.
Mr. Bill Van Horn, representing adjacent property owners of Stanley
Village, requested that the Board condition any variance with a
design requirement to incorporate appearance of adjacent properties
(e.g. shake roof, timbers). Mr. Steve Schrader, applicant, stated
that the new canopy was part of Phillips 66 "imaging" and signing.
Member Sager stated that most service stations have a typical
canopy clearance of 12 feet, and questions the proposed 15 feet.
Members Dekker, Newsom, Sager, and Barker all stated that the
existing canopy was more in character with Estes Park and the
neighborhood.
Building Official Allman gave the staff report,
the Committee were:
Some concerns of
1. As the existing gable canopy fits the design of the
neighborhood, the new canopy should retain the same
appearance.
2. The height of the new canopy should not be
excessive and should not obstruct the view of
surrounding businesses.

3. The design of the canopy and the landscaping should
be considered by Urban Renewal, if required.
4. The reduced setback would still allow appropriate
space for a sidewalk.
It was moved and seconded (Barker-Sager) that the variance request
be allowed with the following stipulations:
1. Maximum clearance of the canopy be 14 feet, with an
overall height of 18 feet.
2. The canopy be of similar architectural design to
the existing canopy, including use of shakes, and
gable or mansard treatment.
3. Urban Renewal approve the project, if required.
It passed with a 4 to 1 vote, with Chairman Habecker voting
against. Chairman Habecker perceives the proposed canopy to be a
more imposing structure than is allowed by code and, regardless of
the architecture, the suggested proximity to the road would block
the view of other established businesses.
STANLEY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, LTD.. LOT 2, STANLEY VILLAGE
SUBDIVISION, 541 BIG THOMPSON AVENUE (NEW HOME FEDERAL BUILDING),
WILLIT^ VAN HORN/APPLICANT - VARIANCE REQUEST. Applicant is
requesting a variance from Section 17.20.040, B.l.b. pertaining to
side yard setbacks in C-O zone. The request is to allow a "O"
setback only if there is a future involuntary division of the
property (foreclosure) . This request is being made so that the
building can be built in accordance with the original project plan
and is being requested as a condition of financing. Town Attorney
White explained that since this development was approved prior to
the current zoning laws, the building would be a legal non-
conforming building. This request will not alter any previous
authorizations made through Urban Renewal.
It was moved and seconded (Dekker-Newsom) that the variance request
should be granted for approval of "O" setback in the event of a
future involuntary division of the property. Said "0" setback is
granted both for the proposed Home Federal Building and the current
theater building. A future involuntary division would not affect
either building's status as legal non-conforming buildings. It
passed unanimously.
There being no further business. Chairman Habecker adjourned the
meeting at 9:55 a.m.
