EPURA - DESIGN FOR ICE HOUSE PARKING LOT.
EPURA Executive Director Anderson presented three drawings
indicating the proposed design for the Ice House Parking Lot.
The lot currently contains 22 parking spaces; with the new
design, 44 spaces will be created. Cleave Street will run
through the middle of the lot, and landscaping will be construct-
ed on the north and east ends, and along Fall River. In review-
ing several layouts, this proposal provides for the most effi-
cient use of space. The sprinkler system has already been
stubbed -in, and eight street lights will be installed within the
lot. Director Widmer advised that the stream bank is in need of
improvements, and that this work should be accomplished prior to
parking lot construction. Director Anderson reported funding for
construction of the parking lot did not include the work on the
stream bank. Following discussion, the Committee recommends
approval of the design, as presented, and that staff review the
Town's budget in an effort to fund the stream bank work
identified by staff.
EPURA - RIVERWALK EASEMENT.
Director Anderson reported that a compromise was reached with
Lohren Thompson/Colorado Petroleum, for a riverwalk easement on
his property located at 356 East Elkhorn Avenue. The easement
included a stipulation that: (1) the Town issue a letter agree-
ing that the parking lot would not be used in such a manner to
interfere with the Grantor's business conducted on the property;
(2) parking spaces would commence not more than 10' from the
western boundary of the parking lot; (3) that an area equivalent
to a parking space on the northern most portions of the parking
lot would not be used for parking of vehicles, that the first
northernmost parking space be designated solely for parking by
handicapped persons, and (4) that oversized vehicles will be
prohibited from parking in the lot at all times. A total of 7
spaces would be constructed, plus 1 for the handicapped. As the
stipulation is reasonable to protect future concerns, the Commit-
tee recommends approval, thus authorizing the Mayor to execute a
letter of agreement.
Director Anderson also requested authorization to use the Town's
parking lot adjacent to Brownfield's as a temporary construction
storage yard. The Committee recommends approval. The Riverwalk
Project will be "phased" to minimize its impact.

REPORTS.
The Committee reviewed the Year-end Customer Service Response,
and Water Reports.
Director Widmer reported on a meeting held with representatives
from Fort Collins, Loveland, Berthoud, and Larimer County con-
cerning recycling. As discussed in December, Fort Collins is
spear -heading a recycling effort and they are requesting each
municipality advise the County of their level of support. The
Committee confirmed that the Town is not opposed to a recycling
program, however, an equitable approach must be provided and
mutually agreed upon. At this time, the Town would prefer a
surcharge concept based on the amount of waste actually generated
at the Estes Park landfill, in lieu of a surcharge based on
permanent population. In addition, the Committee prefers Larimer
County take a leadership role in this program. A letter advising
the County of the Town's position has been mailed.
Assistant Director Linnane briefed the Committee on Water Consul-
tant Projects, including the Marys Lake Treatment Plant, Corro-
sion Control Study, Financial Plan, Fall River replacement line,
Western Inter -Connect, and the Cascade/Fall River Plant, and the
Fall River/Glacier Creek metering.
There being no further business, Trustee Barker adjourned the
meeting at 2:56 P.M.
