NEW BUSINESS
Stanley Village - Bill VanHorn was present on behalf of Stanley
Village, requesting the Board's guidance concerning the level of
lighting in the lower level parking area. The upper area has a light
level of 1 foot candle. McDonald's is requesting a 4 foot candle
light level, which is their national standard.
Commissioner Pohl noted that the level of light intensity within
Stanley Village should be programmed to provide continuity with the
downtown area.
Bob Joseph estimated that the average light level in the downtown
streetscape is from 1-2 foot candles. Mr. Joseph cited light level
recommendations from Site Planning Standards — parking areas, 1
foot candle; pedestrian-ways, 2 foot candles; sidewalks, .9 foot
candle.
Commissioner Moss asked if the developer had attempted to negotiate
with McDonald's regarding McDonald's uniform lighting standard. Mr.
VanHorn indicated in the affirmative and noted that a clarification
from EPURA is needed, with regard to the subject of lighting, as it
relates to Stanley Village's approved compliance with the URA Plan.
This would have a direct effect on developer/tenant negotiations,
now and in the future.
Director Anderson cited Addendum #1 to the Stanley Village Statement
of Intent, Item II, Guideline #2 — Parking and streetlights will be
of a rustic nature — Guideline #3 — Lights will be located to
enhance landscaping and building features. Concern over the east
entry appearance was also voiced by Director Anderson, as well as
the other Commissioners.
Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority - March 5, 1986 - page two

URA Board, requesting clarification of EPURA's finding of compliance
of the Stanley Village Site Development Plan, as it relates to
lighting guidelines.
It was moved and seconded (Pohl-Ericson) that Staff, after receipt
of the developer's letter of request, be directed to prepare a
letter, signed by the Vice-Chairman of EPURA (in the absence of the
Chairman), setting forth lighting guidelines and the Board's reasons
for not encouraging increased light levels. Motion carried.
STAFF
Director Anderson reported that, as per the Board's request at the
February 20 URA meeting. Staff contacted Bill Watson, by letter,
regarding acquisition of his property. The letter requests Mr.
Watson contact EPURA to begin negotiations. Mr. Watson is
out-of-town and EPURA has received no response as of this date.
Numerous ads have been placed in the Trail Gazette for sale and/or
salvage of the bank drive-up facility at 101 Cleave Street. The only
bid received is from Mark Brown, Lake Estes Resort. Mr. Brown
proposes that EPURA allow Lake Estes Resort to remove items from the
premises for salvage. EPURA is offered $250.00 for this salvage
request which includes the water cooler, air conditioner, glass
front, and electrical components. In addition. Lake Estes Resort
would like the flexibility of removing any other items which might
be of use to them. The Resort states that the property can be
removed in a timely manner and payment will be made immediately
prior to removal.

offer from Lake Estes Resort for $250.00 for the right to salvage
items at the property known as 101 Cleave Street. Motion carried.
