STAFF
Director Anderson distributed a memo from James A. Windholz,
Attorney regarding Senate Bill No. 92-172 which seeks to modify the
existing urban renewal statutes as they relate to the modification
of urban renewal plans. As an example, urban renewal plans could
not be modified except through a regular or special election, said
election cost to be borne by the effected urban renewal authority.
Director Anderson feels the present method of urban renewal plan
modification is adequate.
It was moved and seconded (Klaphake-Godbolt) Director Anderson be
authorized to write Mayor Dannels expressing EPURA's opposition in
the strongest terms possible to Senate Bill No. 92-172 because it
is not beneficial to economic development, stating that EPURA has
not experienced any problems, and recommending the Mayor forward
these concerns to the Colorado Municipal League at their CML Policy
Committee meeting on February 7, 1992, and it passed unanimously.
As a part of the proposed urban renewal plan modification process.
Director Anderson requested each Commissioner provide staff with a
sentence that describes what Estes Park means to each Commissioner
and his family, as well as a sentence on what Estes Park should be
in the year 2002. Director Anderson also invited the public to
respond to these same questions.
Post Office Parking Lot Riverwalk. Director Anderson submitted a
design prepared by Special Projects Manager Joseph delineating the
proposed post office parking lot riverwalk. The proposed riverwalk
will include colored concrete and stone pavers, a handicap ramp at
the northwest end of the project, railing and lighting, and,
existing diseased/stressed trees will be replaced. Director
Anderson noted there will be no loss of parking as a result of this
project. It was moved and seconded (Godbolt-Klaphake) the design
be approved and staff be authorized to prepare the necessary
documents for obtaining bids, and to solicit bids for the project,
and it passed unanimously.
Commissioner Pohl proposed the Board consider amending the design
to include curb/gutter construction from the present crosswalk
south of Sundance Center to tie-in with the proposed Post Office
Parking Lot riverwalk. Director Anderson stated it may be possible
to add this to the project, although additional survey work will be
required.
Director Anderson referred to his February 3, 1992 memo updating
the status of various EPURA projects.
There being no further business, Vice-Chairman Pohl adjourned the
meeting.
