DAVID McMULLIN - PERTAINING TO HOUSE BILL 1394:
Mr. David McMullin appeared before the Committee to expess concern
that the Town was not enforcingstate laws relating to the practice
of architecture in Estes Park. Mr. McMullen specifically asked who
the enforcement agency was for the state laws and whether or not the
building inspector needed to conform to House Bill 1394 (the Architect's
Employment Act), or if the Uniform Building Code exempted him. In
a letter dated October 21, 1982, Attorney Greg White stated that the
District Attorney of Larimer County or the Attorney General of Colorado
were the enforcement officers for the State Laws and stated that the
Uniform Building Code does not require all plans and specifications
be prepared and designed by an engineer or architect licensed by the
State and the building inspector may waive the submission of plans
and specifications if the work applied for is of the nature that such
plans and specifications are not necessary to obtain compliance with
the Uniform Building Code. Building Inspector Stan Jones stated that
he had discussed this matter with Attorney White this date, April
11, 1983, and Attorney White had not changed his legal opinion. The
Committee recommends requesting a subsequent legal opinion from
Attorney White to answer all the questions addressed by David
McMullen.
ESTES PARK LANDFILL:
Larimer County Public Works Director Rex Smith appeared before the
Committee to pursue the options for the Estes Park Landfill. Chairman
Wood stated that the Town had met with Eldon Fruendenberg, Trustee
of the MacGregor Ranch, to see if they could obtain an easement across
the MacGregor Ranch in order to put a landfill in Section 16. Chairman
Wood stated that Mr. Fruendenberg and the other two Trustees for the
MacGregor Ranch were not agreeable to an easement across this property.
Director Smith stated that he would like to write the specifications
for an "Expression of Interest" from the private sector regarding
a transfer station in Estes Park. He asked if the present landfill
location would be available as the site for the transfer station.
The Committee stated that Town property would be available for this
use. Director Smith stated that he would do the specs for the "Request
For Proposals" and suggested that Larimer County and Estes Park jointly
evaluate these proposals for the transfer station. The Committee
recommends that the Board of Trustees wait until the Request For
Proposals for the transfer station are in before making a final
decision on whether to pursue a landfill site. The Committee also
recommends that Richard Wood and Richard Widmer be the Estes Park
representatives to evaluate the transfer station proposals. Director
Smith stated that Larimer County would develop the Estes Park Landfill
closure criteria and would actually do the landfill closure. The
closure plan would be approved by the Colorado Department of Health
prior to the construction. He stated that Estes Park would then be
responsible to monitor the site.
Ir�cyi ter business, the meeting adjourned.
