LARIMER COUNTY REFERRALS:
ALBERS EXEMPTION - Mr. Bill Van Horn, representing the Albers Family,
presented an exemption request for three parcels, one of 3.82 acres,
one of 3.76 acres, and one of 2.55 acres in an E Estate District
(a portion of Section 4 T4N, R3W Larimer County, commonly known as
Holy Hill). Mr. Van Horn explained that the reason for the exemption
is to divide the parcel purchased by the father in 1949 into three
parcels - one going to each son. A discussion followed regarding
utilities and other public services. Member Duane Blair moved the
Estes Park Planning Commission favorably recommend this exemption
to the Larimer County Planning Commission for the following reasons:
1. The area has never been a drain on the County,
as they provide their own water and road maintenance; and
2. The resulting exemption would be compatible with the
adjoining properties.
Member George Hix seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
REZONING - Property located between Highway 7 and the entrance to
the Chalet (SE% of Section 2, T4N, R73W) from E Estate to Mobile
Home M-1 Multiple Family. Mr. Dennis Zwagerman, representing the
parties in opposition to this proposed rezoning, requested that this
item be tabled because the Estes Park Comprehensive Plan Amendment
had not been adopted by Larimer County. Mr. Bill Van Horn, representing
the petitioner (the Estes Park Community Cooperative) stated that
the rezoning request had been submitted before the Comprehensive
Plan Amendment and the County would have to hear the rezoning request
regardless of what happens to the Estes Park Comprehensive Plan amend
ment. Planner Barbara Cole stated that the Town should make comments
on this referral, but this is a referral and the real issue rests
with the County. The public hearing dates regarding the Estes Park
Comprehensive Plan amendment and the rezoning to M-1 Multiple Family
are as follows:
