Colorado". The five year planning document analyzes the need in Estes
Park for public transportation, proposes alternative public transporta
tion programs, and then discusses the operation, management and funding

the motion and it passed unanimously.

passed unanimously.

District. Member George Hix commented that he felt the permitted uses
in the two zones should not be changed and moved that the staff and
the Town Attorney further define and clarify terms in Section 17.36.020
to facilitate its administration. Member Graves seconded the motion
and it passed by the following votes: Those voting "Yes" Members James
H. Swickard, Margaret Houston, George J. Hix, Robert E. Burgess, Byron

being revised according to the Town Attorney's letter; and also that

LARIMER COUNTY REFERRALS:
WRIGHT VARIANCE REQUEST - Jesse Wright appeared requesting a variance
regarding the definition of a lot to allow;him to construct another
single family dwelling on his approximately 4 acre lot located in the
Shad Kerr Ranch area. He explained that the additional cabin was
needed to house all his family that uses the property. Member Robert
E. Burgess moved this variance,request be recommended for denial to
the Larimer County Board of Adjustment because an additional cabin on
this lot would create a greater density than is desirable in this E-1
Estate zoned area. Member Swickard seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously.
ALLEN VARIANCE REQUEST - A request was received from Bill Allen for a
setback variance to allow a 92 square foot addition onto his residence
located on a portion of Lot 20, Division 7, High Drive Heights. The
new addition would not encroach any further upon the 25' required
side yard setback than is already encroached upon by the existing
house. Member Margaret Houston moved the variance request be favorably
recommended to the Larimer County Board of Adjustment. Member Blair
