The owner recognizes this requirement and will add a note to the plat. Insert slats will be used in the chain link fence and will be appropriately colored. 5. The storage building adjacent to the north boundary should be screened by plantings for appearance. The owner believes this screening should have been part of the conference center project. 6. The roof color of the buildings should be a muted color rather than galvanized metal to minimize visual impact to adjoining properties. A green color similar to the Chamber of Commerce roof is preferred. The roof and building color has yet to be determined; however, they will not be the same as the conference center. A baked-on enamel finish not a shiny galvanized metal surface will be utilized. 7. Water release from the detention area shall not exceed historic release rates onto the adjoining property. Recognize and will be accomplished. 8. The building of curb/gutter and sidewalks along Dunraven and Stanley Avenues is recommended. Historic run-off is absorbed, not collected, and there are no existing sidewalks with which to connect. Clarification on the water release and placement of the fencing followed. Mr. Van Horn added that there is a shortage of this type of facility and that it is an appropriate use for the site.

As a reference, staff comments will be made available to the Planning Commission. Mr. Van Horn confirmed construction materials should be available when the proposal is submitted to the Planning Commission. Art in Public Spaces - Moraine Avenue Parking Lot. Lynda Vogel, Executive Director/CACEP requested EPURA consider authorizing a mural to be painted on the wall located behind the Moraine Avenue Parking Lot. CACEP suggests the artwork be provided by high school art students. An Ad Hoc Committee could be established to determine guidelines, theme and the like. The committee would consist of various members of the community, including the High School Art Teacher and students. Ms. Vogel stated that this type of art generally instills pride and promotes public art. Commissioner concerns included: whether the request should be made directly to the Community Development Committee pursuant to their BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO.RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority - July 22, 1993 - Page 3 involvement in public art, potential vandalism and liability thereof, and financing of the materials. Consensus was reached that EPURA supports the use of the wall for this purpose if the Town elects to proceed with this project, and directed Hs. Vogel to give a presentation to the Community Development Committee August 5. The Commissioners requested Director Anderson attend the meeting to represent EPURA. The Commissioners also requested a response from the Town as soon as possible. STAFF.
