divide the Elbert L. McCreery Estate. Member Blair moved the exemption
be favorably recommended to the Larimer County Commissioners with the
condition that any further division of this property be required to
follow the subdivision procedure. Member Graves seconded the motion.

LOT SPLIT - SCHROEDER - LOTS 9, 10, 11, GRAND ESTATES:
Tom Brown and Harry Schroeder appeared requesting a boundary line change
among portions of Lots 9, 10, and 11 of Grand Estates. Presently there
is overlapping of improvements onto Lot 11 and the requested boundary
line adjustments would correct this situation by creating one tract
each for the restaurant and motel, and one vacant lot. Dr. Schroeder
agreed to a condition that would require additional water distribution
main sizing to serve future improvements on the now vacant area. The
Planning Commission tabled the request, which was received this date,
in order to allow Staff review.
MASTER PLAN:
Member Robert E. Wagner moved the following suggestions be recommended
to the Board of Trustees to be included into the Master Plan:
1) Statements regarding efficient use of existing rights-
of-way should be strengthened and emphasized. Existing rights-
of-way should be further developed to aid traffic flows by including
such things as passing lanes, acceleration and deceleration lanes,
right and left turn lanes, and bicycle lanes. Intelligent and
efficient use of the street rights-of-way should be of a higher
priority than developing new corridors.
2) The opening statements regarding the reasons for the
Town of Estes Park developing a Master Plan should be further sub
stantiated by including reference to section 31-23-106 C.R.S.,
1973 which requires Planning Commission to make and adopt Master
Plans.
Member Sutter seconded the motion,
unanimously.
Upon roll call the motion passed
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
