Commissioner Hix noted that members of the Land Trust will
be holding a breakfast meeting on August 5th and recommended
that Town Administrator Klaphake and Planning Commission
Chairman, A1 Sager, attend this meeting.
After further discussion. Commissioner Garrett moved to
recommend to the Town Board that the town become a member of
the Estes Valley Land Trust, as recommended by Town Ad
ministrator Klaphake, and contribute a minimum of $25, or
more if the board so chooses. Commissioner Brown seconded
the motion and it passed unanimously.
3.b. Discussion Regarding Nonconforming Section (17.66.320)
and Awninq/Canopy Section (17.66.300 (3) of Sign Code.
Planner Stamey reported that recently it has come to staff's
attention that a couple of items in the sign code need to be
reviewed. One is the present grandfather rule for non-
conforming signs and the other deals with placement of
awnings/canopies in relation to building height and roof
line.
At the present time, there is an expiration date of 6 1/2
years for signs that are non-conforming. He recommended
looking at options where the grandfather rule might be
implemented differently. He suggested the Planning Commis
sion recommend to the Town Board that these two areas of the
sign code be looked at more closely. Commissioner Brown
moved to refer these items to the town board for review.
Commissioner Barker seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously.
Planner Stamey also reviewed the status of the zoning
ordinance concerning the multi-family density rule. He
stated that a public hearing was conducted at the July 12th
town board meeting regarding the Planning Commission's
recommendation on modifying this part of the zoning or
dinance. He further stated that a considerable amount of
discussion was heard regarding the potential change. He
noted that a memo was sent to the town board along with a
revised draft of the ordinance which incorporates some of
the concerns expressed at the public hearing. This draft
ordinance will be discussed further at the next town board
meeting on July 26th.
Following completion of all agenda items. Commissioner Blair
commented about TV dish antennas and ways of regulating
them. Planner Stamey stated information will be provided
regarding local ability to regulate dish antennas.
