1. Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting held June 17, 1986
were submitted and approved.
2. DEVELOPMENT PLANS:
2.a. Development Plan #86-4 - Eagles Nest Resort, revised to
"Golden Eagle Resort" (a revision of Crags Mountain Village):
Mr. Paul Kochevar, representing the owners, presented the
aforementioned development plan located on the Crags Lodge
property. For comparison purposes, Mr. Kochevar displayed
the Crags Mountain Village Plan. Crags Mountain Village
Development Plan #85-2 was approved by the Planning
Commission on May 21, 1985. The revised plan increases the
number of units and proposes the same road system. Mr.
Kochevar reported the actual size of
the site was 23 acres
which did not include the lodge area. Planner Stamey
reviewed the staff report. The proposed Eagles Nest Resort
revises the previous development plan in the following
manner: Density - the Mountain Village was a 64-unit
condominium project and the Eagles Nest Resort would range
from 91 to 116 units; Development Concept - the previous
proposal consisted of a combination of duplexes (15) ,
fourplexes (4) and sixplexes (3) and Eagles Nest identifies
25 building envelopes with either 3 or 4 units per envelope.
In addition, one 12-unit building envelope was indicated;
Facilities - two tennis courts and freestanding laun
dry/convenience store were included in the Eagles Nest Resort
proposal; Access - the secondary (or emergency) access road
from the west has been deleted; Drainage - the proposed
drainage detention pond on Lot 1, which was also to serve as
parking, has not been shown as paved or as parking. Direc
tion of drainage runoff has not been shown; Parking - with a
few exceptions, driveways and garages to each unit were
provided in the Crags Mountain Village proposal. Parking is
now located in several parking bays along the private drive;
Water Service - the Crags Mountain Village plan included a
note regarding completion of a waterline loop prior to 50% of
project completion; Building Envelopes - proposed building
sites are generally located in previously proposed building
areas, with one exception. The proposed 12-unit building is
shown in an area previously reserved as open space. Due to
building configuration, the cul-de-sac in the southeast
portion of the site now serves increased density. Correspon
dence was received from the following:

nor will they allow any further units to be connected to the

collection line until all discrepancy items have been cor
rected. Discussion followed concerning the length of the
proposed cul-de-sac which is 1,450' in length. The Town's
subdivision standard for cul-de-sacs is 500' in length.
Numerous professional planning and engineering sources have
recommended cul-de-sac lengths from 400 to 1,000 feet
maximum. These recommendations relate to safety and
convenience concerns. Mr. Kochevar stated the reason for the
cul-de-sac was to provide for future access for the property
to the east. Mr. Kochevar added the proposed 12-unit
building and convenience store will be eliminated. Two
tennis courts are proposed; the "elevated" court could be
constructed in an existing draw. Such a court would be a
convenience for the occupants only. No portion of the
tramway crosses the property. The property owners do not
anticipate utilizing gas service. The average grade of the
cul-de-sac will be 6-7% and the "switchbacks" will average
10%. Mr. Kochevar stated the owners would agree to a maximum
of three dwelling units per building envelope along the
cul-de-sac, for a total of 54 units; and, fourplexes on the
remainder of the site, for a total of 32 units; with a grand
total of 86 units plus the existing duplex. The applicants
also requested the project name be revised to "Golden Eagle
Resort." Following additional discussion. Commissioner Brown
moved the name change be accepted and Development Plan #86-4
- Golden Eagle Resort be approved subject to the following
conditions:
On the cul-de-sac, construction
triplexes for a total of 54 units.

of habitable floor area.
The maximum building height be indicated on the
plan.
A note be placed on the plat as follows: In order
to decrease the wildfire hazard identified as being
on Lot 2 of Crags Addition, all new development will
incorporate fire retardant shingles, and one-hour
minimum fire protection construction, with surround
ing trees trimmed away from structures. A "fire
break" should be placed around the buildings, any
trees should be removed within 30' of a chimney,
roofs should be maintained to keep them free of pine
needles and leaves, chimneys should have spark
arrestors and all fireplace ashes should be placed
within metal containers.

10. Proper execution of the signature blocks are con
tained in the plan.
11. Prior to final approval, the Condominium
Declarations and any appropriate Articles of
Incorporation and ByLaws of the Homeowners
Association be reviewed by the Town Attorney to
ascertain whether or not they are adequate with
regard to road access and maintenance.
12. No building permits will be issued until such time
as all discrepancies listed in the Upper Thompson
Sanitation District letter dated March 7, 1986 are
corrected.
Commissioner Dickinson seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously.
3. REPORTS;
Planner Stamey presented a copy of the Larimer County Zoning
Regulations which addressed Travel Trailer Parks. The Town
might be limited in its ability to regulate activities that
could occur on-site in the recently annexed Spruce Lake
Addition due to its non-conforming status. The Town's zoning
regulations did not contain regulations that apply to travel
trailer parks. Upon such time as the revised residential
zoning regulations are in place, the Town could adopt a
modified version of the RV regulations. During the interim
period. Commissioner Hix moved the Planning Commission
recommend to the Board of Trustees staff prepare a modified
version of the Larimer County Zoning Regulations addressing
travel trailer parks. Commissioner Blair seconded the motion
and it passed unanimously.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
Vickie O'Connor, Secretary
