Re:Frank E.Williams v.Town of
Estes Park;Civil Action No.26205
Gentlemen:
Mr.Williams and I have been exploring possible methods
of reaching an amicable and workable solution of the contro
versy which has arisen over the James—McIntyre Road to the
ultimate end of terminating what has become and will continue
to be an expensive lawsuit both for the Town and Mr.Williams.
We are submitting the following proposal before we are re
quired to set up a number of depositions and avail ourselves
of the various discovery means enumerated in the Rules of
Civil Procedure.
The following is a brief summary of our proposal which
can be amplified by the presentation of more details,includ
ing a topographical map and other plats at the meeting of the
Public Works Committee on January 16,1975,at 3:00 o’clock
p.m.:
(1)Mr.Williams will convey the ten acres of land
bordering approximately 700 feet of the disputed
road and with a river frontage of approximately 300
feet.It is a choice and ideal piece of land to fit
into the Town’s “green belt”plans.It has estab
lished hiking trails which would lend further attrac
tion to the area as a green belt.
(2)As I understand the situation,the Town has
federal funds available for the purchase of such land,
and,furthermore,the land could be used for such
n ‘

other restrictive purposes as the site of a con
vention center.
(3)In return,Mr.Williams would ask that the
Town assume the deed of trust on the property to
the use of Barney Shewfelt with a present balance
of $58,575.00 payable in five equal annual in
stallments of $11,715.00,plus interest at the
rate of 7—1/2%per annum.It is my understanding
that the value of the land far exceeds the balance
due,and we hope to verify this by presenting the
appraisal of a local real estate agent to the Com
mittee.
(4)Also in return,Mr.Williams would ask the
Town to convey to him a tract of land of approxi
mately one and a half acres located on Spur 66
west of the Landf ill Road,which is of no particu
lar use to the Town at the present time.
(5)In consideration of such mutual conveyances,
the Town would agree to incorporate the disputed
road in the Town street system,and that appro
priate action be taken to dismiss the pending law
suit.The technical aspects of dismissal and an
appropriate judgment can be worked out by the at
torneys.It would seem that the abutting land
owners would have no objections since they will
profit from the green belt zone.
There are many -advantages to-the Town besides the--saving
of litigation expenses.Furthermore,the outcome of the law
suit could well be adverse to the Town,and is a possibility
which must be considered.
I am advised that the Upper Thompson Sanitation District
sewer line will be located at a point approximately 115 feet
west of the river,and that all other utilities are readily
available.

There are other considerations which can be discussed
at the meeting,and we will be available for questions.It
would appear that since the Town is serious in its efforts
to create green belts,and federal funds are available for
such purposes,an in—depth consideration should be given by
the Town to these proposals.
I have taken ‘the liberty of sending four copies of this
letter to Dale Hill so that they can be distributed to the
Committee members in advance of the meeting.We will have
the other material available at the meeting of January 16,
and sooner if a request is made for same.
Very truly yours,
Joseph P.Jenkins

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
IT WOULD BE OF GREAT BENEFIT AND CONVENIENCE TO ME IF I COULD HAVE SOME
LINES PAINTED ON THE MUNICIPAL PARKING LOT TO ENABLE ME TO GIVE MOTORCYCLE
DRIVING TESTS.
I WOULD NEED 10 MARKS AND ONE LONG LINE BE114EEN THEM.THE MARKS WOULD
BE 40”WIDE AND 15’IN LENGTH BETWEEN THEM.SO ThEY WOULD APPEAR LIKE THIS
APPROXI MATELY.
...
....
THESE COULD BE ANY WHERE ON THE PARKING LOT ON A LEVEL AREA,SUCH AS
IN A DRIVING LANE BETWEEN THE MARKED STALLS FOR PARKING.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
