Phares, Anne K. Moss, Edward B. Pohl, Milton Ericson, Lyle Frantz, Dale Hill, J. Donald Pauley Chairman Phares, Commissioners Moss, Pohl, Ericson, Frantz, Hill and Pauley Executive Director Art Anderson, Bob Joseph, Attorney Jim Windholz, Secretary Heifner A special meeting was called for the purpose of reviewing the Stanley Village development and to determine whether proposed changes within the development require an amendment to the plan. Director Anderson referred to Section 17.76.090 of the municipal code which states that the Executive Director can waive the TOA amendment process if it is found that the changes are minor in nature. However, if the changes are not considered to be minor, the zoning provides that the URA Board (with the concurrence of the Town Administrator and Town Planner) may find the changes not substantial and, therefore, the amendment process may be waived, if it is also determined that the process would cause serious delays which would jeopardize the project. Director Anderson submitted a report to the Board from Staff, stating that the changes are not substantial and no amendment to the plan is required. Bill VanHorn was present and explained the changes outlined on the site plan. Commissioner Pohl stated, for the record, that the plan was found in compliance (not approved) on April 3, 1985 and asked that this be corrected in the first sentence of Staff's memo dated October 8, 1985. Director Anderson read a letter from Dale Hill, Town Administrator, dated October 7, 1985 stating it is the Town's opinion that the changes made are necessary to address either government or neighborhood demands and that there are no substantial changes from the approved plan. Also, that further procedural delay would jeopardize the entire project. Attorney Windholz recommended that Dale Hill, Town Administrator, and Steve Stamey, Town Planner, sign the October 8, 1985 URA Staff memo. This is requested in that the URA Board, with the concurrence of the Town Administrator and Town Planner can make a determination based upon the facts — that there are no substantial changes in the development. It was moved and seconded (Pohl-Ericson) that the Board accept Staff's October 8, 1985 recommendation regarding Stanley Village -- that the changes are not substantial and no amendment to the plan is required. Commissioner Moss questioned zoning and what is considered major or minor change. Director Anderson said it depends on the scale of an entire project. Commissioner Pauley suggested meeting with Phil Herr on his next visit to Estes Park to discuss possible changes in phraseology of the URA development review section of the zoning code. With no further questions or discussion, the motion was carried. The vote was 6-1 with Commissioner Moss dissenting. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Donna Heifner, Recording Secretary
