DEVELOPMENT PLAN 04-09, ESTES PARK MEDICAL CENTER, ALL, HOSPITAL ADDITION, 555 Prospect Avenue, Applicant: Estes Park Medical Center. Planner Chilcott reviewed the staff report. The EPMC is requesting that Planning Commission give staff the authority to review this application to build a sixteen space parking lot, add thirteen parking spaces to an existing parking area, and add a new access point on Moccasin Circle Drive. This application requires Planning Commission review since more than 29 parking spaces are proposed, 8 more than staff can review. The EPMC is making this request due to concerns that asphalt plants may close for the season prior to Planning Commission review of the application in October. Lloyd Morris of Cornerstone Engineering and Surveying was present to represent the applicant. They have eliminated 2 spaces from the northwest corner parking lot for a total of 27 parking spaces. Public Comment: None. It was moved and seconded (Hix/Kitchen) to approve a staff level review of Development Plan 04-09, Estes Park Medical Center and the motion passed unanimously with 2 absent. 4. DEVELOPMENT PLAN 04-08, SILVER MOON INN, METES AND BOUNDS, 175 Spruce Drive, Applicant: Siiver Moon Inn, LLC. Planner Chilcott stated Development Plan 04-08, Silver Moon Inn, was advertised as a Planning Commission item in error. The development plan is a staff level review RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 2 September 21,2004 and therefore is being withdrawn from the agenda. This is a development plan application to replace five units in the northwestern corner of the property with eight units, relocate the pool, and redesign parking. This is a staff level review since less than ten units are proposed. Public Comment: None. 5. PRELIMINARY CONDOMINIUM MAP, ANTLERS POINTE, LOT 2, BLOCK 5, FALL RIVER ESTATES, 1515 Fish Hatchery Road, Applicant: Gerald L Sobotka. Planner Chilcott reviewed the staff report. This is a preliminary condominium map application to condominiumize eight accommodations units in four duplexes and one unit that will contain the manager residence, office, laundry, and maintenance facilities at 1515 Fish Hatchery Road. The applicant does not wish to reserve any area for future development and the existing units will be designated as resort lodge accommodation. Staff recommends a shared access and maintenance agreement be obtained and recorded; however staff does not recommend this be a condition of approval. The proposed condominium map complies with all density and dimensional standards with the exception of a storage shed encroachment into the ten foot rear yard setback, the dumpster encroachment into easements and the fifteen foot front yard setback, some minor encroachments of units in the thirty foot river setback, and the nonconforming density. No changes are proposed to service lines or mains; however a new public sewer easement is proposed for the sewer main. Staff has not noticed any drainage problems on site with the exception that drainage could be improved near the eastern entrance to the property with the installation of concrete curb and gutter from behind the Antlers Pointe sign, around, and to the radius on Fish Hatchery Road. A new ten foot wide utility easement is proposed for an electric service line. Staff recommends an animal proof trash enclosure be provided and screened with fencing. There are plans to extend a trail/sidewalk along the south side of Fish Hatchery Road; therefore staff does not recommend trail/sidewalk construction on the north side of the road with this subdivision. Joe Coop of Van Horn Engineering was present to represent the applicant. He does not feel the requested curb and gutter by Public Works would prevent the current drainage issue. Regrading the area may prevent water from pooling. Mr. Coop stated the shed was on the property when the current owner purchased the property and has not been an issue with neighboring properties. He would like the Planning Commission to consider granting a 2.5 foot variance to allow the shed to remain in the current vicinity. Commissioner Kitchen agrees the installation of curb and gutter will not improve the drainage. Planner Chilcott stated staff did talk with the applicant’s engineer regarding a possible 2.5 foot variance for the shed; however the building department requested the shed be moved entirely out of the floodplain. There are limited locations on the property for the shed. Public Comment: None. It was moved and seconded (Pohl/Hix) to recommend approval to the Town Board of Trustees Preliminary Condominium Map, Antlers Pointe, Lot 2, Biock 5, Fali River Estates, 1515 Fish Hatchery Road and the motion passed unanimously with 2 absent and the following conditions. 1. Drainage. A Drainage plan shall be submitted to staff for approval to correct the current drainage concerns behind the Antlers Pointe sign around and to the radius on Fish Hatchery Road. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 3 September 21,2004 2. Shed. A variance shall be granted to allow the shed to encroach 2.5 feet into the rear setback. If the shed remains within the floodplain a floodplain permit shall be obtained. 3. Fence. The fence in the right-of-way shall be removed within thirty days of written request by Town staff. 4. Dumpster and Enclosure. An animal proof dumpster and enclosure shall be installed prior to map recordation. 5. Declaration. The condominium declaration shall address the non-conforming status of the property with regard to the provisions set forth in Chapter 6 of the Estes Valley Development Code. 6. Pedestrian Easement. A ten foot pedestrian easement runs the entire length of the southern property line. The map shows this easement ending near the east side of the river bank. The full easement shall be shown. 7. Electric Easement. The new ten foot wide utility easement proposed for an electric service line shall be labeled as a private easement. 8. Dedication Statement. The dedication statement shall include the dedication of utility easements for utilities, irrigation and drainage facilities. The dedication statements shall also be revised to dedicate all new public and private easements, e.g. the new private electric easement and public sewer easement. 9. The term “useable lot area” shall be changed to “net land area” under the Density Calculation section on the map. 6. MINOR SUBDIVISION, MOINAT SUBDIVISION, LOT 26A, LITTLE PROSPECT MOUNTAIN ADDITION, 148 Stanley Circle Drive, Applicant: David Moinat. Planner Shirk reviewed the staff report. This is a minor subdivision application to subdivide Lot 26A Little Prospect Mountain Addition, a 1.19-acre “E” Estate Residential zoned lot on Stanley Circle, into two “E” zoned lots. Lot 1 will contain the existing single-family residence, and Lot 2 will be available for construction of a new single-family home. The two residences would share a single driveway access point (encroachment onto the adjacent Lot 27), all utilities are available, lot sizes and dimensions are adequate for the zone district, stormwater runoff will be negligible, no sidewalk is proposed, and limits of disturbance will be established. An improvement guarantee for the joint driveway and stormwater improvements will be required. Staff recommends approval of a minor modification to allow proposed Lot 1 to be 21,989 square feet instead of the 27,130 square feet required by slope adjustment. This will not result in an increase in density. Staff has approved a modification to right-of-way width requirement. Sidewalk construction is not recommended at this time. This would be an isolated section of sidewalk in an area that is not planned for any sidewalk/trail construction. Lloyd Morris of Cornerstone Engineering and Surveying was present to represent the applicant. The new access easement will be a utility and access easement for Lot 2. Public Comment: Mike Kingswood, 157 Stanley, neighbor to the west, questioned were the house could be built. Planner Shirk stated the house could be built outside the limits of disturbance. Nothing could be built, not even a storage shed, within the limits of disturbance. It was moved and seconded (Kitchen/Haggard) to recommend approval to the Town Board of Trustees Minor Subdivision, Moinat Subdivision, Lot 26A, Little Prospect Mountain Addition, 148 Stanley Circle Drive and the motion passed unanimously with 2 absent and the following conditions. 1. A copy of the new access easement shall be submitted with the final plat. This shall be subject to review and approval by the Town Attorney. 2. A signed copy of the driveway maintenance agreement shall be submitted with the final plat for recording. 3. The driveway shall be paved, and rip-rapped as delineated in the stormwater management plan. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 4 September 21,2004 4. Per Fire Chief Dorman’s comments, both addresses shall be posted at the beginning of the driveway. 5. A development agreement shall be submitted, reviewed, and approved by Public Works prior to final approval by the Town Board. This agreement shall include the cost for driveway/drainage construction, and joint addressing posting. 6. Compliance with memo from Public Works to Dave Shirk dated August 26, 2004. 7. ESTES VALLEY DEVELOPMENT CODE CHANGES Director Joseph reviewed the items: Item 1 - Accessible parking. Item 2 - Applicability of sidewalk/trail easement dedication and construction to nonresidential developments and subdivisions. Item 3 - Revisions to submittal requirements. Item 4 - Principal and accessory uses permitted in the “A” accommodations/highway corridor zoning district including revisions to accommodations definitions, and floor area ratio. Public Comment: Ann Toft, 2071 Highway 66, spoke against the removal of noncommercial uses from the accommodations zoning district. She would prefer a single-family home on a lot versus a large number of units. It was moved and seconded (Haggard/Pohl) to recommend acceptance to the Town Board of Trustees and the Board of County Commissioners Biock 7, items 1—4 and Floor Area Ratio to the Estes Vaiiey Deveiopment Code and it passed unanimousiy with 2 absent. 8.
