eligibility for application of the development code requirements.

Stanley Village and any subsequent phase is eligible for application
of the development code requirements pursuant to Section 17.32.030
of the Estes Park Municipal Code. The review process (Chapter 17.76
of the Municipal Code) must be followed for determining compliance
of Stanley Village with the URA Plan.

Tourists and Colorado's Future" sponsored by the American Planning
Association. Cost is $10.00/person and Anderson has information on
this meeting for anyone wishing to attend.
Attorney Windholz stated that the Relocation Handbook is not ready
for Board review due to absence from his office regarding a family
illness. Bank property acquisition has been held up as he is
awaiting verification from the Secretary of State as to the status
of the Estes Park Town Company.
Windholz met with Greg White to discuss Stanley Village development,
and, has forwarded information regarding his fees (which were
charged to EPURA as a result of Binstock's lawsuits) to White. He
said White would be reporting on the proposed sales tax issue at the
next Town Board meeting and what effect it has on the URA's
expenditure of funds.
