BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO.RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
regarding zoning. It was determined the proposed zoning shall be
E-Estate. Two "dead-end" roads were shown on the plan. Mr.
Zdenek is working with the County to assure their specifications
are met. Mr. Paul Kochevar, representing Estes Park Surveyors,
stated they are designing the water system for Thunder Mountain
Park. State Statutes describing design criteria are quite clear
and are being met; the design criteria parallels municipal
systems. The water system will form a district and Home Owner's
Association. Mary Clausen, representing the Tunnel Road Homeown
er's Association, spoke in opposition to the Master Plan. Their
primary objection is the density. A petition has been instituted
and now includes 122 signatures. Mr. Giles Gere, representing
the Upper Thompson Sanitation District and the Estes Valley
Improvement Association (EVIA), reported EVIA does support this
project due to the fact that prior objections (the Conservation
Easement - Elk corridor) have been corrected. Members of the
Commission commended the designers/architects of Thunder Mountain
Park and had the following comments:
Al Sager - Expressed concern on the identification of
the zoning. Also the possibility of the need for an
"accel/decel" lane.
Steve Komito - He is concerned about the access road.
What is the possibility of the road being upgraded to
current County policies?
Duane Blair - Expressed concern regarding the density,
roads and water system, however, he is in favor of the
project.
John Carmack - Feels the density is in line with the
zoning requirements.
George Hix - He likes the project and feels the
developers have tried to meet the concerns of the
people.
Richard Wood - Is in favor of the project.
Mark Brown - Is in favor of the project.
ZONING CONSULTANT;
Chuck Perry, representing Phil Herr and Associates, gave a brief
report on the progress of updating the Zoning Regulations. The
project will be completed in three phases. Information regarding
immediate changes that should take place is anticipated to arrive
the middle of next week.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
