WATER DEPARTMENT
Estes Park Salud Foundation —Request Water Tap Fee Waiver.
Salud is requesting a waiver of the non-accommodation commercial class water tap for the
proposed future site of their office adjacent to the Good Samaritan Subdivision along Dry
Gulch Road.Salud has applied for a Community Development Block Grant to help
finance the building through the County Department of Human Services and the Colorado
Department of Local Affairs.Both organizations have stated Town contribution for the
construction of the new building is an important component of the grant application.The
tap market value is estimated at $16,000.
The Town has waived tap fees for non-profit groups in the past.Salud has agreed to
reimburse the water tap fee if the building is sold on the open market within the next 10
years.
Mark Richards,PresidentlEstes Park Salud Foundation reported that an addition to the
current structure was considered;however,constructing a new building is the most
cost-effective approach.
In the event that Salud can raise the funds necessary to build,the Town may consider
waiving the building permit fees.
The Committee recommends approval of the water tap fee waiver as requested.
