present and wished to address the Commission on the request. Chair Kitchen
opened a public hearing.
Barney Treadway, adjacent property owner of 2100 McGraw Ranch Road, stated he
had not received notification of the request. He stated the subdivision

clustered He noted that is not the case with the current subdivision request and

SfrleSly ^l 58 acres, were created prior to the Estes Valley rezoning process in

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Planning Commission
November 15, 2005
Al and Susan Miller, adjacent property owners at 2700 Eagle Rock Drive, were
present. Mr. Miller questioned whether the overhead power line that crosses
proposed Lot 5 would be required to be placed underground, as has been the case
with utilities in the adjacent Beaver View Estates. Planner Shirk stated that if Lot 5
was subdivided in the future, the developer would be required to place the power
line underground. If the lot was not subdivded and a single home was built on the lot,
the owner would not be required to place the power line underground. Mr. Miller
asked whether it could be required that the power line be placed underground when
a home is built, even if the lot is not subdivided. Director Joseph stated that it could
be, but it would be reasonable to question whether it would be an appropriate
financial burden for a single homeowner to assume. He reiterated that if the lot was
subdivided into five lots in the future, as has been considered, the developer would
be required to place the power line underground.
Mr. Miller also questioned whether a home could be built on top or near the top of
Coyote Ridge. Director Joseph stated the current proposal includes limits of
disturbance that would prevent a home from being built in that area, but noted that
the applicant may revise their request, which will be presented at the December
meeting, in such a way that a home may be built on the ridge. Ridgeline protection
standards prevent a home from being built on top of the ridge. He encouraged Mr.
Miller to remain in contact with the Community Development Department regarding
the applicant’s updated proposal. Mr. Miller stated his desire to have a restriction
imposed that would prevent a home from being built too high on the ridge.
Chair Kitchen thanked the Millers and Mr. Treadway for sharing their views and
concerns.
It was moved and seconded (Amos/Hix) to continue the Preliminary
Subdivision Fiat and the Finai Subdivision Plat, Coyote Ridge Subd'V'sion
Phase I, Tracts I, II, III, & IV of the BLA of Portions of the South 1/2 of S8, T5N,
R72W of the 6th PM to the December 20, 2005 Planning Commission meeting at
the request of the applicant, and the motion passed unanimously.
