Beery/Applicant. Applicant's representative Kevin Kielb advised
that the Applicant is proposing to construct three buildings with
a total floor area of 6,900 sq. ft. The north building is proposed
for leather crafts use; the lower floor of the building is proposed
for storage; the two southern buildings are also proposed storage
buildings. Director Stamey reviewed the staff report confirming
that the note concerning no outdoor storage was added to the plat,
eleven parking spaces have been provided per standards, access
widths have been indicated, the slope of the driveways has been
improved, however it remains a concern for large vehicles, the
driveway should be delineated by removing the large gravel area and
seeded with grass, and the bike path should be overlayed with
asphalt 8' wide and 1%" thick. Les Beery expressed concern with
potential liability issues for work performed or improvements made
on adjacent State property. Director Stamey confirmed other
developments have been required to perform similar improvements
along state highways—the State has confirmed they have no
objection to the re-seeding, however, an access permit is required.
Mr. Beery confirmed the Applicant was willing to perform the work
if a precedent had been established. Public comment was heard from
David Habecker who stated that this application is not the best use
of the land. Commissioner concerns included the steepness relative
to inclement weather. Mr. Kielb noted that the average slope has
been verified at 12.9%; the north/south driveways will be at 12%
slope; the east/west drive is 8% cross slope; and the Applicant has
a snow-plowing plan to clear the site. Public Works Director
Linnane confirmed that the 12% grade for driveways is adequate. It
was moved and seconded (Amos/Burgess) Development Plan #93-1 for
Lot 30, Grand Estates Subdivision be approved with the following
conditions, and it passed unanimously:
1. Add a note to the development plan stating that outdoor
storage is prohibited.
2.Access:

drive must be shown on the development plan.

c. The proposed driveway be delineated by removing the
large gravel area in front of the property. Grass

prevent vehicles from using the interior frontage
as a driveway and will also deter vehicles from
driving along the bike path).
d. The developer to overlay the existing 6' path with
an 8'-wide path of asphalt, 1%" thick.
e. Revise the grading plan for the proposed
north/south driveways and the southern east/west
drive on the site due to steepness.
Indicate fire hydrants, water and sewer service on the
development plan.
Provide a landscaped area immediately in front of the

5. REPORTS.
Aspen Lodge Carriage Rides. As required by conditional approval,
Tom Hall/Owner and Tim Resch/Livery Supervisor presented a progress
report on the carriage ride operation. Operators have received
positive comments. Commissioner A. Hix noted that traffic is
impeded at the curve near Stanley Village, and Commissioner Amos
commented that ^the carriage ''straddles" the line preventing
vehicular traffic from passing where sufficient leeway is
available, and an alternate route should be considered.
Commissioner Burgess commented that the carriage is not
contributing to the "bottleneck" of vehicular traffic and that
positive publicity has been derived from the operation. Bill Van
Horn stated he had heard a number of favorable comments and that
the ride is in character and should be encouraged. Director Stamey
confirmed he was unaware of any major problems of the horse rides.
Stating the owner has operated the carriage ride within the
parameters of th& original intent, encouraging the owner to stay to
the right of the traffic lane whenever possible, and that the
Commission will continue to further observe the operation, tt was
seco“ded (?ohl/Burgess) the progress report be accepted into the record and it passed unanimously.
