Committee:Chairman Dannels;Trustees Swanson and Grove
Attending:Chairman Dannels;Trustees Swanson and Grove
Also Attending:Superintendent McCracken,Town Clerk Hill
Absent:None
The Committee studied the report from Phillips,Carter &Reister dated
August 2,1966.A copy of this report is attached to and made a part
of the minutes.After considerable discussion,the Committee recommends
the following items be included in the Subdivision Ordinance:
1.1½total acre feet of water or its equivalent per acre of
annexed land will be furnished to the Town of Estes Park
by the persons requesting the annexation.
2.4O,or .60 acre feet of the water shall be available to
the Town of Estes Park during the months of May,June,
July and August.
3.The maximum day is considered to be l4O,of the average
day of the maximum month (i.e.)1.40 x 54,000 75,500 g.p.d.A.=
.232 A.F./A/d.
The Committee recommends to the Board of Trustees that they be given the
authority to investigate the feasibility of the Town having a comprehensive
analysis made of the distribution system and the source of supply pipelines,
with emphasis on a program of future expansions.A planning study such as
this could be financed through an interest-free loan obtained from the
Housing and Homes Finance Agency.The loan or proportionate amount would
be repaid as the recommended facilities are constructed.There are other
government agencies administering grant programs for public works.
Superintendent McCracken reported Michael Marden of the Rimrock Corporation
will provide a right-of-way to the Town for the proposed water line connec
tion at the agreed-upon price of $175.00.
The Water Committee recommends that the Town furnish 700 feet of 2”pipe for
the purpose of the High Drive Heights Association lowering the present 1”
summer water line.Superintendent McCracken estimates the cost of this
project to be $500.00.
The Water Committee instructed the Superintendent to maintain the 7,850-ft.
elevation as a Blue line in Charles Heights Subdivision.
Superintendent McCracken reported Town Engineer Paul Van Horn is in the pro
cess of checking the elevation of the Glacier Creek storage tank.
There being no further business,the meeting was adjourned.

Attention:Mr.Dale G.Hill
Town Clerk
Dear Dale:
The question that you have submitted to us as to the amount of water
a subdivision should furnish the Town of Estes Park is not as easy to answer
as it might seem.If the plans of the proposed development were examined
we feel that a more reasonable answer could be arrived at,that is,the con
templated size of the lots,the proposed areas that would be in grass and
subject to sprinkler irrigation,the size and extent of the proposed motels or
hotels,and a reasonable assumption as to the extent of occupation on a year-
round basis.Since this type of information is not available to us or to your
self,we believe that the type of approach that you have presented is reasonable
and that such an approach would then place the proposed additional acreage on a
comparable basis to the areas that you now serve.The Town has established a
pattern of water use peculiar to themselves in that the occupancy of the dwellings
is seasonal,there is a tremendous influx of non-resident population for a very
short period and that the water use during the non-summer months is extremely
high because of the practice of bleeding to prevent freeze ups.With these con
siderations in mind and on this basis we present the following computations for
your consideration.
In a report dated October 1963 by W.W.Wheeler and Associates,on
page 5 there is shown the water use month by month.With the information
shown as an average over the 5 year period,we have prepared the following
table to demonstrate a method for arriving at the total amount of supply that
must be provided,the rate of supply for a 4 month period,and the rate of
supply for the probable maximum day or days.The rate of supply to satisfy
the demand for the maximum hour of the maximum day has been assumed to
be satisfied by the use of clear water storage within the system.

In summary of the foregoing,we suggest that 1.5 Af of water supply
per year be furnished to the Town for each acre of land area annexed to the
Town.We further suggest that of this total amount,.60 acre foot per acre
annexed be made available during the 4 month period,May,June,July and
August,and that a rate of supply of .25 acre foot per acre be made available
for a maximum day or few days.
Hopefully,the above information will establish some guide line for
the Town in their negotiation for additional water and should the Town care
to pursue in more detail this type of study when more precise information is
available on the proposed annexation we would be most happy to work with you
on such a study.
Very truly yours,
