There were two people in the audience. This study session was recorded and has been uploaded to the Town of Estes Park YouTube channel. IGA Status Update: County employees Michael Whitley and Amy White were in attendance for discussion on the Planning Transition once the IGA expires in March. Director Hunt gave a review of what has taken place up to this point. The Town passed an ordinance providing the creation of the new Estes Park Development Code, a new Planning Commission and a new Board of Adjustment. County Planner Whitley discussed a new Chapter 19 which will carry forward Estes Valley zoning districts and allotted uses within those zoning districts. The review process fits as closely as possible to the current code, with some differences and modifications. Workforce and Attainable housing density bonuses, along with associated height increases, will not be carried over nor will automatic rounding up of density allowances. Options for representation include having an Estes Park resident on the Larimer County Planning Commission or having an Advisory Committee in Estes Park. The County will have Planning Service hours on Tuesday’s from 9:00 am to-4:00 pm at their Brodie Avenue location. Code Compliance Officer Amy White spoke on Vacation Home rentals. Applications after April 1, 2020 will fall under Short Term Rentals and have slightly stricter rules and different fee structure from what is currently in use. The Vacation Home Cap will be split between Town and County, depending on the numbers on April 1, 2020. BOCC will have a meeting in Estes Park regarding Vacation Homes at some point in the near future. Licenses will be good for two years starting in January 2021. Larimer County is calling this change Planning Services Transition as there will be no IGA moving forward. Preliminary Townhome Subdivision, The Farm on Riverside Planner Bergeron reviewed the Preliminary Townhome Subdivision on Riverside Drive, known as The Farm on Riverside. This application has been withdrawn by the applicant and will be resubmitted as a major Subdivision rather than a Minor Subdivision. The timeline of that resubmittal is expected to be within the next month. Preliminary Townhome Subdivision, Ferguson Lot 3A and 4A Planner Woeber discussed the Preliminary Townhome Subdivision, aka Alpaca Farms. This consists of two townhome lots, each with a duplex. A request for a continuance to the March meeting will be made for this item. The applicant needs to submit additional materials for review. This project is 2 located in the unincorporated portion of the County. It would be beneficial for the Town and County to figure out how the process and applications will transfer over. Elkhorn Lodge Development Plan Planner Woeber reviewed the Elkhorn Lodge project, which will be heard at a special PC meeting on Tuesday, February 25, 2020, at 11:00 am. because the applicant did not get all of their material in on time for review. Material for this will be dispursed on Thursday, February 20, 2020. Converse expressed concerns about holding the meeting at 11:00 am. rather than an evening hour and rushing the decision. Theis wondered if one hour would be enough time to hear a project of this size. Future of the Planning Commission Director Hunt noted that the new Planning Commission would consist of five Town residents. Applications are available through the Town Clerk. The three current town members are encouraged to reapply. Questions/Future Items Chair Leavitt adjourned the study session at 5:20 p.m. _____________________________________ Bob Leavitt, Chair Karin Swanlund, Recording Secretary 3 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission February 18,2020 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 1 Commission: Chair Bob Leavitt, Vice-Chair Sharry White, Commissioners Steve Murphree, Frank Theis, Nick Smith, Dave Converse, Matt Comstock Attending: Chair Leavitt, Vice-Chair White, Commissioners Murphree, Theis, Converse, Smith, Comstock Also Attending: Director Randy Hunt, Senior Planner Jeff Woeber, Planner II Alex Bergeron, Recording Secretary Karin Swanlund, Town Board Liasion Patrick Martchink Absent: None OPEN MEETING Chair Leavitt called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm.

Public Comment: Tom Thurman, 540 W Elkhorn, expressed concerns with the magnitude of this proposal and that the proposed floodwall protects the applicant’s property but not the privately-owned condos. Verd Bailey, 540 W Elkhorn, stated that the project is too big for the size of the property. Whinney Spahnle, 840 Old Ranger Drive, stated that this is the best project she’s seen for this property and was in favor of the project. Director Hunt stated that delays in finalizing the complex plans and reviews for this project meant that a decision had to be delayed.

When the time comes, the TRC committee will be appointed and a public meeting will occur. Plans to turn the Carriage House into a restaurant could be submitted before the Film Center project. The role of TRC is similar to that of the Planning Commission in that they review design, placement, architectural details, traffic management, and more. The TRC is a legal agreement with the owner and the Town; any changes made to this arrangement would have to be agreed on by the owner. REPORTS: • Pages on the website for both Town and County have been updated for the Planning Services Transition (IGA). Searching Estes Valley IGA is the quickest way to find the information. On Wednesday, February 19, 2020, the Larimer County Planning Commission will hold a work session, and on Wednesday, March 4, 2020 a formal meeting at 6:00 pm. Additionally, the Board of County Commissioners will meet on Thursday, March 26, 2020 at 6:00 pm in Estes Park. The Town Board passed an ordinance to transition the Estes Valley Development Code to the Estes Park Development Code. • Town Clerk is preparing to advertise for a new five-person Planning Commission and a new three-person Board of Adjustment to be filled by town residents. • Two staff vacancies in Community Development still have not been filled. • Comprehensive Plan discussion is ongoing, whether it be separate or jointly with the County. ADJOURN There being no further business Chair Leavitt adjourned the meeting at 7:12 pm. _________________________________ Bob Leavitt, Chair _________________________________ Karin Swanlund, Recording Secretary RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission February 25, 2020 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 1 Commission: Chair Bob Leavitt, Vice-Chair Sharry White, Commissioners Steve Murphree, Frank Theis, Nick Smith, Dave Converse, Matt Comstock Attending: Chair Leavitt, Commissioners Murphree, Theis, Smith, Converse, Comstock Also Attending: Director Randy Hunt, Senior Planner Jeff Woeber, Recording Secretary Karin Swanlund, Town Attorney Dan Kramer Absent: White OPEN MEETING Chair Leavitt called the meeting to order at 11:00 a.m. There were approximately 35 people in attendance. This matter was initially scheduled for hearing and vote at the February 18, 2020 Planning Commission meeting. However, delays in finalizing the complex plans and reviews for this project meant that a decision on that date had to be delayed. The special meeting was scheduled at the request of the developer and staff, so that the project could go on schedule before the Town Board of Trustees on March 24, 2020. APPROVAL OF AGEND A It was moved and seconded (Smith/Murphree) to approve the agenda and the motion passed 6-0. PUBLIC COMMENT None ACTION ITEMS 1. ELKHORN LODGE PRELIMINARY PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (Continued by the Planning Commission from their February 18, 2020 meeting.) Planner Woeber thoroughly reviewed the staff report for the Preliminary PUD and Preliminary Subdivision Plat in connection with the redevelopment of the Elkhorn Lodge property. Thirteen (13) mixed-use lots are proposed. The Applicant's submittal provides an in-depth description of the project and the proposed uses on each lot. Staff recommended approval of the proposed Elkhorn Lodge Preliminary PUD and Preliminary Plat with the added condition that approval of the PUD Rezoning shall also constitute an approval of the Preliminary PUD Development Plan, as attached to the staff report. Commissioners asked for a written copy of the added condition and a copy of the written comments from public works. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission February 25, 2020 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 2 David Hook, Town Engineer, explained Public Works’ role in the review process and explained that not all approvals have been received from FEMA and other agencies and how this would affect the project. There are pre and post- construction conditions from FEMA. Design in accordance with FEMA regulations is needed to proceed with this project. W ithout it, a new plan would have to be submitted. Applicant Presentation: Justin Mabey, future owner of the property, introduced himself and his company, East Avenue Development. He presented examples of some of the work the company does, mostly around national park areas. He explained the desire for building up the west end of Elkhorn Avenue and the goals for redevelopment, which includes preserving four of the historic buildings. The Site Plan was presented and explained. It was stated that they hope to keep the look and feel of the current Lodge, which minimizes the impact on the environment as the 2018 Downtown Plan recommends. The plan calls for 36% lot coverage instead of the allowed 65%. Public Comment: (Comments summarized) Bill Keefer, 550 W Elkhorn, asked four questions: what building was 38 feet tall, would they be upgrading the electrical service to the privately-owned condos, would it be a high end Hilton or Marriott hotel chain, what is the status on the lot to the south not owned by Elkhorn Lodge. Dave Shirk, 301 Far View Drive, likes the proposal and requests for the Planning Commission to consider: be compatible with existing uses., perimeter landscaping in parking lots, lighting issues, horses only (no donkeys), have a manure mitigation plan, and a sidewalk for pedestrian safety on the access road. Dan Hurlihey, 321 Big Horn Drive: landscaping is important due to the large amount of parking, lighting mitigation, and he is happy the horse rides are continuing. Laura Drotar, 550 W Elkhorn: keep history alive, concerns with a possible economy hotel chain rather than a high-end one, restaurant will block her western view of the mountains and river and add unwanted noise and garbage smell. Public questions were answered as follows: • The 38 foot building is the main Lodge • The electric would be upgraded for the entire project, including the privately owned condominiums • Justin is in agreement with the high-end hotel market, perhaps something similar to Residence Inn. • The property to the south has new owners. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission February 25, 2020 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 3 • Minimum required lighting is planned. • There will be improved pedestrian access due to sidewalk requirements which will extend to Mrs. Walsh's garden. • Parking lot landscaping is not possible due to the flood plain and would require a higher wall. • There can be flexibility on the shape and the placing of the restaurant, however the condo owner preferred the original plan after discussing options. • Willing to have discussions and work with any neighbors having positive or negative concerns. Commissioner questions answered by the Owner and Engineers (summarized and not in chronological order) • Desired 12-24 month build-out of the entire project • A staff of 20-25 in the central hotel, half of that in the smaller Lodge. • There are 30 extra parking spaces, which should easily cover employees. • Cabins on the south hill of the property could be employee housing, also working with other developers in town to lease rooms. • The housing need will be filled but not necessarily on-site. • There will likely be an on-site manager. • Proposed guest beds would double the current capacity. • Firetrucks can fit and turn around in the paved area of the south cabins. • Any changes to this submittal would have to be reheard through the same process. • Moving barn farther out had a significant positive impact on the floodway. • Not opposed to a public park in the open space by the river • If the Lodge can't be saved, they do reserve the right to tear it down • There are no current plans for the "triangle" area at the east end of the lot • Roof colors were discussed at the neighborhoord meeting: Green or Tan • The traffic report did not expose any problems. • The Lodge and Stables are not changing elevation. • The no-rise requirements will stay in place post-construction. • Noise standards will be met. • Third story façade requirement have been met. • Catch basins in the parking lot will redirect water drainage to the river. • Access easements to Elm Road are in place for the back 40 acres. • Frank Roberts, Van Horn engineering, explained the floodplain engineering review. • Lonnie Sheldon, Van Horn engineering, noted that open space requirement in A-Accommodations zone district is zero. Impervious coverage has different requirements. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission February 25, 2020 Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall 4 • Joe Coop, Van Horn Engineering discussed the drainage, bridges, and alternate emergency exits on the property. Commission Discussion/Comments:. Theis: should be aware of noise that the Lodge amplifies, restrictions on operating hours for restaurants, and problems with maintenance on the south properties during the winter months. This submittal is an appropriate historic use plan and does not abuse what is allowed in a PUD. Converse: does not like being in a position of approving the PUD prior to flood control work being final, concerns with meeting open space criteria related to a PUD, would prefer the Public Works comments be conditions of approval. David Hook stated that Public Works is comfortable with where the development stands. Considerable discussion was had by all on conditions of approval relating to certificate of occupancy, floodwater exit, employee housing, additional units, landscaping, lighting and noise plans. Per Director Hunt, many of these details could be present on the Final PUD plan. It was moved and seconded (Leavitt/Murphree) to forward a recommendation of APPROVAL to the Town Board for the Elkhorn Lodge Preliminary PUD according to the findings of fact recommended by staff with the following conditions: 1) Approval of the PUD Rezoning shall also constitute an approval of the Preliminary PUD and Development Plan, as attached to the staff report, with no increase in the number of accommodations and resident units without a PUD review. 2) The developer will bear the risk of constructing improvements in the floodplain prior to obtaining the post-construction LOMR. Should FEMA not approve the LOMR application as submitted, the developer will be responsible for any redesign and reconstruction to achieve the no-rise condition. No certificate of occupancy for the Event Center Barn or the Elkhorn Lodge addition will be issued until the developer obtains LOMR approval from FEMA. 3) The developer will add additional parking lot perimeter landscaping. 4) An employee housing plan for permanent and seasonal employees, per Chapter 9.1, items A and B, and the housing needs assessment of 2016. The motion passed 6-0. 2. ELKHORN LODGE PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAT (Continued by the Planning Commission from their February 18, 2020 meeting.)

SITE DATA TABLE: Engineer: Van Horn Engineering & Surveying Tax Parcel Number: 3535412003 Development Area: 0.45 acre Existing Land Use: Duplex, under construction Proposed Land Use: Two-unit townhome Zoning Designation: A-1 (Accommodations/Low-Intensity) Proposed Zoning Designation: No change Adjacent Zoning: East: E (Estate) North: A-1 (Accommodations) West: A-1 (Accommodations) South: A-1 (Accommodations) Adjacent Land Uses: East: Mary’s Lake Road, Single-Family Residence North: Undeveloped West: Duplex, Site location of similar “4A” Townhome Subdivision South: Undeveloped Services: Water: Town of Estes Park Sewer: Upper Thompson Sanitation District REVIEW CRITERIA: Generally, depending upon the complexity of the project, this section may be a brief summary of the standards of review or may involve a more detailed analysis of the standards based upon issues relevant to any particular project. 1. Water. Water service is through the Town of Estes Park Utilities Water, who have commented they have “no objection to this Townhome Subdivision.” 2. Sewer. The Upper Thompson Sanitation District has reviewed the application, commenting, “Upper Thompson Sanitation District has no further comments at this time. The District will wait for the proposed construction drawings of the sewer main extension for possible comments later.” 13 3.Fire Protection. Written comments were not provided for the subdivision by the Estes Valley Fire Protection District. Conversation between Larimer County Engineering staff and the Fire District representative indicate the private drive does not need a turnaround at the west end, which was somewhat in question. Staff had a conversation with the Fire District representative on March 10, who verified the turnaround was not required. Staff is to receive a memo or email documenting this, and will push to get it by the March 17 Planning Commission meeting. 4.Stormwater, Drainage. The applicant submitted Preliminary and Final Drainage Report with the subdivision submittal, which has been reviewed by the Larimer County Senior Civil Engineer. Some drainage concerns have been identified, and addressed by the applicant’s representative. Conditions of approval recommended by County Engineering include requirements for an additional drainage easement and a maintenance agreement for a detention pond located on the southern portion of the Townhome Lots. See RECOMMENDATION, below. 5.Parking. Parking has been provided with each unit to have a single attached garage, as well as an additional parking space, which meets EVDC minimum parking standards. 6.Access. Access is via a private drive, for which the owner/applicant has recorded a “45’ Private Access & Utility Easement.” Applicant has requested a waiver from the paving requirement, as well as a waiver from the requirement to meet all sub-local street standards, found within Appendix D of the EVDC. These waivers are supported by Planning and County Engineering, with Engineering noting their support is contingent upon the access road including an extended paved apron, 20-feet beyond the proposed right-of-way of Mary’s Lake Road. 7.Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is within the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan’s “Planning Area 5 – Beaver Point.” The Plan recommends the site to be A-1 (Accommodations, Low-Density), and that zoning was what was adopted when the Estes Valley was rezoned in 2000. The narrative and recommendations in the Plan for the Beaver Point area primarily focus on the Highway 36 corridor area, and does not have recommendations specific to this area west of Mary’s Lake Road.

21 LARIMER COUNTY | ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT P.O. Box 1190, Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-1190, 970.498.5700, Larimer.org MEMORANDUM TO: Jeff Woeber, Town of Estes Planning Department FROM: Traci Shambo, Senior Civil Engineer DATE: March 11, 2020 RE: Alpaca Farm, Lot 3A Townhome Subdivision – Estes Valley Planning Area Project Description/Background: This is a request for one two unit townhome subdivision on Lot 3A of the Amended Plat of the Ferguson Subdivision. Appeals and Variances: The submitted information includes a request for the following appeals:  The applicant is requesting to not be required to pave the access road. Asphalt surfacing is required for shared drives serving 8 or more spaces (4 units or more) per Appendix D.3.B of the EVDC.  The applicant is requesting to not be required to meet all of the sub-local street standards. The definition section of the EVDC (Section 13.3.#227) states that a driveway that exceeds shared driveway standards shall be considered a street. Shared drives are defined as serving up to 4 units. The sub-local street classification is the applicable section for this road based on the definition of a sub-local street. Engineering can support the above requests. The shared access road off of Mary’s Lake Road will be serving a total of 6- 8 units. The submitted information indicates that a 20’ wide road, surfaced with 4” of adequately compacted road base, with a 3’ shoulder on one side, is planned. A 20’ wide road, with a 3’ shoulder on one side, is sufficient to provide space for 2- way traffic for the 6-8 units proposed. (Per the EVDC- Appendix D, the sub-local road section is used for up to 12 units and requires a 24’-26’ width, which includes shoulders.) Engineering can also support the pavement appeal with the requirement of an extended paved apron to 20 feet beyond the proposed right-of-way of Mary’s Lake Road. 22 <Date> <Subject> Page 2 The trip generation for 6-8 units is not expected to exceed the dust thresholds of 200 trips per day. In addition, the road is required to be maintained per the approved plans though a shared maintenance agreement. Engineering Requested Conditions of Preliminary Approval: 1. The Estes Fire District has stated that they will note require a turnaround for their purposes. County Engineering will still require that a bulb or hammerhead is provided to accommodate a turning movement of a typical residential vehicle. Although the applicant has indicated that they have granted an easement by separate document to allow access for future connection to the property to the west, in the interim condition, the access road will function as a dead end road and space to turn around needs to be provided. Additional easement, or temporary easement may be needed. 2. More than half of the pond shown is located offsite on Lot 2A. Subdivision detention ponds need to be located within outlots or drainage easements. Additional easements or an outlot need to be shown on the plat for Lot 3A to include the pond. The easement or outlot dedications need to clearly state that no encroachments, fences etc are permitted within this area. 3. A drainage Outlot or easement is also need on the adjacent lot to the south. An amended plat or easement by separate document will be needed. The offsite easement may be difficult to obtain if, or once, the adjacent lot has been sold. 4. The outlet to the pond extends beyond the existing cross culvert. It appears that this will alter historic flow paths to some degree. This will need to be further evaluated. It appears that the outlet of the pond needs to be located further south and on Lot 3A, out of the right-of-way, and be within a dedicated easement or outlot. 5. The stormwater report references a 90% of historic release rats. The County uses a 2-year historic release rate. The release rate will need to be further evaluated. 6. Downspouts need to be directed towards the pond, where feasible. 7. Additional groundwater analysis will be needed to ensure that the pond design will not expose ground water. A orifice water quality design may be needed in lieu of the underdrain design referenced in the report to minimize the potential for the underdrain to intercept groundwater. 8. Updated drainage and water quality report and plan are necessary to address changes related to the above comments. 9. Access road and drainage infrastructure maintenance plans and agreements must be recorded with the subdivision. The document must outline items such as who will be responsible for maintenance, what it needs to entail and how often. 10. More of the shared drives need to be within the designated outlot. Outlot B needs to be increased for reasonable circulation. 11. Final construction plans are needed that show all details for the site and that mee t all requirements of a typical subdivision construction plan set 12. A subdivision improvement agreement (SIA) and associated collateral are required to document various expectations of the subdivision and to ensure the required improvements are completed correctly. 23 <Date> <Subject> Page 3 13. Final easements for the buried electric line need to be dedicated on the plat or by separate instrument and referenced on the plat. 14. A paved apron 20 feet past the dedicated ROW will need to be shown on the next plans. 15. A Development Construction Permit (DCP) will be required for construction of the site improvements. Prior to issuance of the DCP, all other applicable County, State, & federal permits must be obtained. 16. Transportation Capital Expansion Fees are required at the time of building permit issuance for the conversion to individual town home units. Staff Recommendation: The above items need to be addressed prior to any final approvals of this plan. Please feel free to contact me at (970) 498-5701 or e-mail at tshambo@larimer.org if you have any questions. Thank you. 24 ESTES VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING DATE & LOCATION: March 17, 2020, 6:00 p.m. Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Avenue APPLICANT REQUEST: Recommendation for approval for Alpaca One Townhome Subdivision, Lot 4A Preliminary Plat. Staff recommends conditional approval of the Preliminary Townhome Subdivision Plat. PLANNING COMMISSION OBJECTIVE: 1. Review for compliance with the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) and Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan; and 2. Provide recommendation for Approval/Denial of the Preliminary Plat application. LOCATION: 1475/1477 Mary’s Lake Road, located approximately 250 feet north of the northwest corner of the intersection of Mary’s Lake Road and Griffith Court. This is within a portion of the Southeast ¼ of Section 35, Township 5 North, Range 73 West of the 6th P.M., Larimer County, Colorado. See attached vicinity map. OWNER/APPLICANT: Estes Duplex, LLC, c/o Seth Hanson STAFF CONTACT: Jeffrey Woeber, Senior Planner PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Present Situation: An Amended Plat was approved in early 2019, reconfiguring five lots into four lots. This created Lots 1A through 4A of the Amended Plat of Lots 8, 9, 12, and a Portion of Lots 7 and 10, Block 12, Ferguson’s Subdivision. The Amended Plat was recorded in the records of the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder at Reception No. 20190015940, on April 1, 2019. Proposal: A duplex/townhome structure is currently under construction on Lot 4A, with the owner/applicant proposing to divide the duplex, and the underlying Lot 4A, into two. Lot 1 is proposed to be 7061 square feet, and Lot 2, 7137 square feet in size, with each lot containing half of the duplex/townhome structure. Alpaca One Townhome Subdivision, Lot 4A Preliminary Plat Estes Park Community Development Department, Planning Division Room 210, Town Hall, 170 MacGregor Avenue PO Box 1200, Estes Park, CO 80517 Phone: 970-577-3721 Fax: 970-586-0249 www.estes.org 25 Staff notes this Townhome Subdivision is adjacent to, and very similar to, another Townhome Subdivision on Lot 3A. They are separate applications. Similar Townhome Subdivisions have been approved earlier on adjacent lots. REVIEW PROCESS: 1. Preliminary Townhome Subdivision. §3.9.E. All subdivision applications shall demonstrate compliance with the standards and criteria set forth in Chapter 10, “Subdivision Standards,” and all other applicable provisions of this Code. Upon recommendation by the Planning Commission, the Preliminary Plat will go to the Board of Larimer County Commissioners for action, along with the Final Townhome Subdivision Plat. The Final Plat is not reviewed by the Planning Commission. Staff notes, with the expiration of the IGA between the Town of Estes Park and Larimer County, the Town of Estes Park Community Development Department will no longer have a role in the processing of this subdivision. It will be handled by Larimer County Planning staff. SITE DATA TABLE: Engineer: Van Horn Engineering & Surveying Tax Parcel Number: 3535412004 Development Area: 0.46 acre Existing Land Use: Duplex, under construction Proposed Land Use: Two-unit townhome Zoning Designation: A-1 (Accommodations/Low-Intensity) Proposed Zoning Designation: No change Adjacent Zoning: East: A-1 (Accommodations) North: A-1 (Accommodations) West: E (Estate) South: A-1 (Accommodations) Adjacent Land Uses: East: Duplex, Site location of similar “4A” Townhome Subdivision North: Undeveloped West: Single-Family Residence South: Undeveloped Services: Water: Town of Estes Park Sewer: Upper Thompson Sanitation District REVIEW CRITERIA: Generally, depending upon the complexity of the project, this section may be a brief summary of the standards of review or may involve a more detailed analysis of the standards based upon issues relevant to any particular project. 1. Water. Water service is through the Town of Estes Park Utilities Water, who have commented they have “no objection to this Townhome Subdivision.” 26 1. Sewer. The Upper Thompson Sanitation District has reviewed the application, commenting, “Upper Thompson Sanitation District has no further comments at this time. The District will wait for the proposed construction drawings of the sewer main extension for possible comments later.” 2. Fire Protection. Written comments were not provided for the subdivision by the Estes Valley Fire Protection District. Conversation between Larimer County Engineering staff and the Fire District representative indicate the private drive does not need a turnaround at the west end, which was somewhat in question. Staff had a conversation with the Fire District representative on March 10, who verified the turnaround was not required. Staff is to receive a memo or email documenting this, and will push to get it by the March 17 Planning Commission meeting. 3. Stormwater, Drainage. The applicant submitted Preliminary and Final Drainage Report with the subdivision submittal, which has been reviewed by the Larimer County Senior Civil Engineer. Some drainage concerns have been identified, and addressed by the applicant’s representative. Conditions of approval recommended by County Engineering include requirements for an additional drainage easement and a maintenance agreement for a detention pond located on the southern portion of the Townhome Lots. See RECOMMENDATION, below. 4. Parking. Parking has been provided with each unit to have a single attached garage, as well as an additional parking space, which meets EVDC minimum parking standards. 5. Access. Access is via a private drive, for which the owner/applicant has recorded a “45’ Private Access & Utility Easement.” Applicant has requested a waiver from the paving requirement, as well as a waiver from the requirement to meet all sub-local street standards, found within Appendix D of the EVDC. These waivers are supported by Planning and County Engineering, with Engineering noting this is contingent upon the access road including an extended paved apron, 20-feet beyond the proposed right-of- way of Mary’s Lake Road. 6. Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is within the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan’s “Planning Area 5 – Beaver Point.” The Plan recommends the site to be A-1 (Accommodations, Low-Density), and that zoning was what was adopted when the Estes Valley was rezoned in 2000. The narrative and recommendations in the Plan for the Beaver Point area primarily focus on the Highway 36 corridor area, and does not have recommendations specific to this area west of Mary’s Lake Road. REVIEWING AGENCY COMMENTS: These applications have been submitted to reviewing agency staff for consideration and comment. Larimer County Engineering Department and Building Department, the Town of Estes Park Utilities (Water and Power and Communication), and the Upper Thompson Sanitation District, each provided comment. The applicant has addressed comments and concerns. PUBLIC COMMENTS In accordance with the notice requirements in the EVDC, a public notice was published in the Estes Park Trail-Gazette, and mailed to adjacent property owners. 27 At this writing (March 11, 2020) no written public comments have been received for this application package. All written comments are posted to: www.estes.org/currentapplications STAFF FINDINGS: Based on the foregoing, staff finds: 1. The Preliminary Townhome Subdivision complies with applicable standards set forth in the EVDC. 2. The Preliminary Townhome Subdivision complies with the goals and policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The Planning Commission is the Recommending Body for the Preliminary Townhome Subdivision. 4. Adequate public facilities are available to serve the proposed projects. 5. This request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff for consideration and comment. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends conditional APPROVAL of the proposed Alpaca One Townhome Subdivision of Lot 4A Preliminary Plat, with conditions as recommended by Larimer County Engineering Department, in their Memorandum dated March 11, 2020 and attached hereto as Attachment 5. SAMPLE MOTION FOR ALPACA ONE TOWNHOME SUBDIVISION OF LOT 4A, PRELIMINARY PLAT : 1.
