Block 3, Fall River Estates be favorably recommended to the
Board of Trustees, contingent upon the following. Discussion
followed concerning the 10' utility easement required by the
Light & Power Department along the Fall River Drive property
line; shared access relative to whether or not CDOT requires
that the driveway be installed on private property, not in the
right-of-way—staff reviewed the grades and location of the
access easement as related to bridge construction and found
this option feasible, however, staff is considering impacts
related to driveway construction and the amount of disruption
to vegetation along the River; and installation of a new
bridge relative to potential floods. The motion passed
unanimously:
1. Identify open space area (Outlet A).
2. Access permits for Lots 2A and 2B shall be secured
prior to application for a building permit.
3. The notes regarding access to Lot 2D should be
added to the final plat (access from Fall River
Drive, privately constructed bridge, ability to
construct bridge in easement).
4. Show the location of the new sewer and electric
utility easements and add note regarding vacation
of a portion of the existing sewer easement.
5. Verify or apply for inclusion in NCWCD prior to
Town Board approval.
6. Add CDOT utility permit requirement to Utility
Plan.

buildings with walkout lower levels ("C" Buildings), as
follows:
4 Duplex Buildings
1 Triplex Building
2 Single Unit Buildings
The project is to be developed in a single phase to be
completed in three years. This development proposal has
obtained unit type and setback variance from the Board of
Adjustment. Bill Van Horn, Applicant's representative, noted
that this proposal was previously submitted and that the
previous Planning Commission items_ have been addressed.
Waterline extension construction drawings will be presented to
staff for their approval. Director Stamey noted that the
Public Works Dept, has not yet received the drainage plan and
details for the swale. Van Horn confirmed that waterline
drawings will be submitted/approved prior to Town Board
consideration. The Applicant is requesting they aj-lowefri^°
escrow the access easement and that all associated documents
be recorded simultaneously following Town Board approval.
Staff confirmed that the size of the water main extension is
to be 6".

incompatibility of proposed construction, loss of repeat
business, reduction of time of occupancy, the fence would
limit snow removal, construction occurring during the peak
season, resulting in considerable loss of business, prevailing
wind blows dust and trash, and loss of wildlife viewing and
migration route. The items above were reinforced by a letter
from Range Realty, Peterson's personal calculations, and
various photographs. Chairman Sager reviewed the Commission's
parameters in considering the application. Lee Herman,
representing Paul and Shirley Carpenter, 1061 Pine Ln. also
presented photographs and requested clarification as to how
the elk/deer corridor would be protected, suggesting perhaps
a gap be planned in the fence installation. There were no
further comments from the audience.
Commissioner comments included: clarification of the maximum
use by right on this site particularly relating to overnight
accommodation units and kitchen facilities (density
calculation); confirmation that the Applicant is not seeking
any bonus units; confirmation that 37 units are allowed;
confirmation that the Special Review requirements are Prompted

Special Review #9 6-2, Portion of Lot 2, Block 3,_Fall River
Estates. Kvien Trust/Applicant. This proposal consists of 16
dwelling units in a four unit building configuration; two
units over two units. It is anticipated that most of the
units will be one bedroom in size with approximately 4 units
being two bedroom. Each unit will be served by individual
taps for water, sewer, electric, gas and telephone. In
addition to utility lines, 20 parking spaces will be provided
and a two-car maintenance garage will also be constructed
(attached to units 15/16 at the north end).
Applicant's representative Kochevar noted that the Applicant
is requesting a bonus on the number of units. Calculations as
presented in the staff report have been changed as
space (reserved area) has been increased, thus the bon
request is for 1.62 units (for the preserve area). The site
will be minimally disturbed as the site was previously damaged
due to the flood. Extensive landscaping, also due to the
«ood is being planned. Five trees will be removed, three of
which are alre^y dead. The Applicant is in agreement with
staff recommendations, and Mr. Kochevar is preparing e
landscape plan.

directive to Boulder, Larimer, and Grand Counties, the Estes
Valley Land Trust, and the EVIA, some are cautiously
supportive. Upcoming presentations will be given to the Board
of Realtors, Chamber of Commerce, League of Women Voters, and
eventually all 140 people who attended the Conference. Four
points include: the borders and Park are inextricably linked,
long-term health of RMNP is a shared responsibility, only
through a viable partnership can a grass roots approach be
successful, and success can best be achieved by enhancing
communication. In summary, Mr. Gamble is seeking approval of
the approach identified above. Discussion followed with no
further action taken.
Bill Van Horn commented on the upcoming revision to the Zoning
Regulations and need for a simplified codification process
where the "lay person" can easily locate information.
There being no further business. Chairman Sager adjourned the
