REQUESTS FOR PAVING:
Fawn Lane: The Committee reviewed a petition dated October 22,
1986 whereby seven (7) area residents were requesting paving for
Fawn Lane. In attendance were: Fred Keeler, Dan Doylen,
Margaret May and Mrs. Donald Williams. Residents are willing to
discuss property donation, easement and other related issues.
Director Widmer reported this subdivision was platted with a 15'
street right-of-way and dead-end access. Currently, the road has
a gravel surface which the Town maintains approximately 2
times/year. Due to erosion, the sewer line is near the road
surface causing the line to freeze during the winter months. An
estimated cost to perform required surveying is $1,000; total
cost of the project could be approximately $5 - 7,000. Following
discussion, the Committee recommends Director Widmer be
authorized to proceed with the project, expending approximately
$1,000 to obtain a firm to perform all surveying services. Funds
are available in the 1987 Budget for such a project which could
take place during the Fall Street Improvement Project.
North Ridge Lane: Ms. Benita Ackerman, 1860 North Ridge Lane
submitted a letter dated November 21, 1986 requesting the paving
be extended to include Lot 19, Lone Pine Acres. This subdivision
was also developed prior to the Town's adoption of street stan-
dards. The road serving the Ackerman residence is paved to Lot
18, followed by an unconstructed access. The Committee
recommends completing the paving of North Ridge Lane for an
estimated expenditure of $2,500 which will be funded in the 1987
Budget.
EPURA - REVIEW OF PROPOSED REVISIONS TO PARKING LOTS 43 AND #6:
Executive Director Art Anderson/EPURA presented drawings for both
the Post Office Parking Lot (Lot #3) and Dark Horse Parking Lot
(Lot #6) :
Post Office Lot: Discussion included placement of the mail "drop
box." Planner Stamey and Bob Joseph displayed four alternatives
for such a placement. The Committee recommends (1) placing a
one-way mail "drop box" on the south side of Ivy Street; and (2)
designing an additional right -turn only exit onto Rockwell
Street.
Dark Horse Lot: Currently, this lot contains 120 parking spaces.
In an effort to improve the traffic circulation, this lot will be
redesigned, resulting in 99 spaces. EPURA has made a commitment
to replace the parking spaces and anticipates adding 16 spaces to
the Post Office Lot. Discussion included setback, access for the the
Post Office and Mountain Bell buildings, tree grates
landscaping. The Committee recommends approval of the Dark Horse
Parking Lot design.

PROSPECT MOUNTAIN ROAD RADIO STATION EQUIPMENT - REVIEW OF
PROPOSED LICENSE AGREEMENT:

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Heron, National Park Service and the Town for
installation and maintenance of radio station equipment on
Prospect Mountain. Town Attorney White and staff have reviewed
the agreement. Term of the Agreement will be for five (5) years,
commencing January 1, 1987 and the Town will pay the Herons
$1,000 in advance on January 1st of every year while the Agree-
ment is in effect. Director Widmer outlined revisions to the
Agreement which were recommended by Attorney White. The Commit-
tee recommends approval of the Agreement, as revised by Attorney
White.
ESTES VALLEY MEMORIAL GARDENS CEMETERY - REVIEW OF LARIMER COUNTY
PLANNING REPORT:
The Committee reviewed Larimer County's staff report concerning
the variance request submitted by Estes Valley Memorial Gardens.
Included in the recommendation was a request for a deed of
dedication to provide a half right-of-way of 35' along the
frontage of Parcels 1 through 6. The request will actually
result in an additional 5' of right-of-way. The Committee
recommends dedicating the right-of-way should a formal request be
submitted by Larimer County.
REPORTS:
Director Widmer presented a graph indicating the annual snowfall
to date. The snowplowing expense incurred through December 16,
1985 was approximately $18,125; through December 17, 1986 this
total is $13,447.84.
Following ten years of service, Mr. Ralph Ramey has submitted his
resignation which will become effective December 31, 1986.
Mr. Richard L. Gerstberger has joined the staff as Assistant
Public Works Director. Mr. Gerstberger is a very qualified
individual with 17 years of experience in the Public Works and
Utilities field.
