Architectural Design Criteria
Puipose
This following Architectural Design Criteria has been developed to provide a
common vernacular for architects and contractors to utilize during the design
process for exterior components of any new or remodeled facility on the
grounds of Stanley Park.Essentially,the Estes Park Town Board is asking that
the architectural improvements at Stanley Park reflect the more timeless,
natural,quiet mood of the Colorado Rocky Mountain region.For that reason
the “common vernacular”is being referred to here as “refmed Rocky
Mountain rustic”,and speaks to an architectural language that,while meeting
today’s environmental and building code standards,still embodies a more
relaxed western character,utilizing primarily local and natural materials.
Although the intention is to provide an integrated architectural character
developed through a visual collection of coordinated materials and colors,
other design strategies than those illustrated with these guidelines,may be
considered if they contain a coherent and rich architectural vocabulary with
durable and attractive exterior materials.

Architectural Design Criteria
General Requirements
As indicated earlier,it is the intent of the Town of Estes Park that the
architectural character of Stanley Park shall be refined over a period of years,
through new construction and renovations,guided by these architectural design
guidelines.This architectural character shall imbue a timeless,natural Rocky
Mountain character,using sc)und architectural,planning,and environmental
design practices.Although building materials and colors will be an important
part of creating and maintaining the Town’s goal,a number of general issues
are dealt with here and apply throughout the Stanley Park property.
1.Mechanical equipment on rooftops shall be screened.
2.Utility infrastructure,such as transformers,condensers,and mechanical
equipment,shall be screened by landscaping and/or opaque fencing or
walls.
3.Roofs shall be primarily of gable configuration with slopes between 3:12
and 5:12.Hip roof configurations may be used for accent or special
feature,but no “mineshaft shed”or “arched”roof configurations will be
allowed.Snow guards will be required on all roofs,with commercially
sized gutters and downspouts.The introduction of decorative or functional
cupolas is allowed and will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
4.Eaves shall project from buildings three feet (3’)to six feet (6’),depending
on the scale of the structure,with some features of architectural interest,
such as exposed beams,brackets,kickers,or corbelling.
5.Care shall be taken in achieving proportionate,orderly and interesting
façades by utilizing varied materials to express structure and create visual
rhythm.Offsets in the building’s façade of at least eight inches (8”)will be
required on walls of sixty feet (60’)or more in length.
6.Masonry wainscoting materials shall be required at all buildings to create a
substantial architectural base character and to protect the lower portion of
the wall from physical and environmental damage.

Architectural Design Criteria
Materials and Color
Materials used in the construction or rehabilitation of structures at Stanley Park
shall be high quality,durable,code compliant and aesthetically conforming
with these Design Criteria.Architectural materials and colors play a very
important role in visually defining architectural character.A palette of natural
earth-toned finish materials,such as stone and wood,are encouraged and are
well suited relative to a “refined Rocky Mountain rustic”building character.
However,recognizing that additional materials,besides stone and wood,will
be utilized in the construction of new and remodeled structures at Stanley Park,
the following materials and finishes are listed as preferred for use on the
buildings.Optional or related materials and colors will be considered on a case
by case basis.final approval of both materials and colors shall be by the
project Architect and Public Utilities Department of the Town of Estes Park.
