ESTES PARK VILLAGE BAND - REQUEST TO USE BOND PARK WITH TOWN
WAIVING INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Karen Parrack, representing the Estes Park Village Band, appeared
before the Committee advising the Band desires to hold. two (2)
free concerts June 28th and July 26th, 1987. The Band is com-
prised of volunteers who have sponsored free concerts in Bond
Park in past years. The Band performs free -of -charge and there-
fore is requesting the Town waive insurance requirements. All
chairs and associated equipment will be provided by the Band.
Monetary donations are not encouraged. Following discussion, the
Committee recommends granting the use of Bond Park and, due to
the low risk of liability, waiving the insurance requirements.
NEW HORIZONS YOUTH GROUP - REQUEST TO USE BOND PARK:
Judy Black/First Baptist Church, representing the New Horizons
Youth Group, appeared before the Committee requesting the use of
Bond Park July 11, 1987. Ms. Black advised the Youth Group does
have liability insurance on all personnel and equipment. Mone-
tary donations would. not be encouraged. The Group would provide
music and puppet acts free of charge. The Committee recommends
approval of the request to use Bond Park, accepting the Group's
offer to provide a copy of their Certificate of Insurance, naming
the Town as an. "additional insured."
OLD RANGER ROAD REQUEST FOR PAVING - CONTINUATION:
The Committee reviewed a proposal dated April 15, 1987 submitted
by William Sellner/UNC concerning a cost/share project to pave
Old. Ranger Road. UNC would pay for all construction costs,
including base material, asphalt paving and. finishing for an
estimated expenditure of $4,000. The Town would provide neces-
sary engineering, site preparation, drainage and improvements,
and road widening for an estimated expenditure of
$1,500-2,000.00. UNC is experiencing a great deal of difficulty
with access to their property. Old Ranger Road is paved just
beyond the driveway serving Lot 40. Development to adjacent Lot
41 has not taken place and the road is unpaved to the end of the
Town Limits. UNC's property is adjacent to Lot 41, outside the
Town's boundary. Discussion followed regarding increased.. mainte-
nance costs, where the Town's obligation lies with respect to
paving and snowplowing roads, increased. traffic volume in an
established residential area u0-. should the road be paved,
alternate access, and annexation by UNC into the Town. The
Committee recommends (1) UNC respond to the probability of
annexation; and (2) should UNC submit an offer to pave Old Ranger
Road at no cost to the Town, staff will request a written legal
opinion from Town Attorney White.
