RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS / Public Works Committee May 15, 1986 Committee: Chairman Brown, Trustees Barker and Hix Attending: All Also Attending: Mayor Dannels, Town Administrator Hill, Public Works Director Widmer, Finance Officer Vavra, Judy Hoxsey, Barbara Godbolt, Lois Moor, Clerk O'Connor Absent: None ESTES PARK LIBRARY - UPDATE REGARDING SITE STUDY: Judy Hoxsey, Library Director/Estes Park Public Library reported on the site selection process and planning studies which had occurred to date. A 10-member Site Survey Committee has been formed to study various locations available upon which to con- struct the new library. The Bond Park site was approved by the Public Works Committee in February, 1986; however, the park will not accommodate the proposed 14,000 square foot building. The Library Board is in the process of determining boundaries to form a Library District. The District boundaries would be placed before the electorate, followed by a request for a $2 Million Dollar bond issue to construct the building. The Committee reviewed a sketch indicating the following sites: (1) Placing the building on the eastern corner of Bond Park and onto MacGregor Avenue - the possibility of allowing one-way traffic in a northerly direction on MacGregor Avenue has yet to be explored; (2) Placing the building on the parking area located directly behind the Municipal Building which would result in a loss of 63 parking spaces; (3) Constructing the building on the southern portion of Parking Lot #1, facing East Elkhorn Avenue - this site would result in a loss of 46 parking spaces; and (4) Locating the building on a portion of the Husky Service Station property recently purchased by the Urban Renewal Authority. In determing the size of the building, current population figures were used; they indicated a 9,000 net square foot library was necessary today. In projecting future use, the Library Board is proposing a total building size of 14,000, with the possibility of adding a second floor. Discussion followed regarding parking spaces, including the loss of spaces, payment for each space deleted and variance and financing. The Committee recommends priority be given to constructing the library at the Husky Service Station Site (a portion thereof), and that Bond Park be listed as the second site location. The Committee also recommends reducing the building to 9,000 net square feet, with the possibility of expanding the library some time in the future. 1986 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - REVIEW OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Public Works Director Widmer presented the proposed 1986 Street Improvement Program (a copy is attached and made a part of the record of these proceedings by reference thereto). This year's project proposes 2.75 miles of overlay, two areas of new paving and miscellaneous areas of curbing at a total estimated cost of $161,600. $200,000 was budgeted for this project. Should bid prices vary significantly from the estimate, the project list could be modified to bring the project in line with the budget. The Estes Park Medical Center submitted a letter requesting the Town pave a portion of the hospital access road from Stanley Circle Drive south 200' to the hospital property. Discussion followed with the Committee recommending approval of the 1986 Street Improvement Program, including the Medical Center request, authorizing Public Works Director Widmer to begin the bid process, returning to the Committee for further review.
