CLARK/DYKE REQUEST - VACATE PORTION OF ROCKWELL STREET ROW:
A petition was considered from Mr. and Mrs. Jack Clark and Mr. and Mrs.
Bob Dykes requesting the Town vacate that portion of Rockwell Street
right-of-way which is occupied by the barber shop and also the area ex-
tending about 8a' north of the building. The Clarks unknowingly built
the barber shop on a portion of the Town's property four years ago and
now desire to sell it to the Dykes. The Committee recommends the Town
vacate that portion of the Rockwell Street right-of-way extending from
the Clark's north property line to a line located 1' north and parallel
to the existing barber shop building line and extending from the Big
Thompson River to East Riverside Drive. In exchange for the area vacated,
the Committee recommends an 8' easement along the Big Thompson River be
provided the Town for open space and trail purposes.
CURB CUTS -LOTS 1 &2, BLOCK 10, BAUER SUB. (1ST NATIONAL BANK):
Ken Brown of the First National Bank submitted a request to (1) reduce
the existing 30' curb cut on Lot 2 to 25' and move it south a distance
of 10' to serve as access to the remote teller, and (2) locate a new
20' curb cut on Lot 1 to serve as access to the parking lot. The Com-
mittee recommends approval.
EAST RIVERSIDE DRIVE BRIDGE - ENGINEERING CONTRACT:
The Committee recommends the proposed agreement with Centennial
Engineering, Inc. for the design of the East Riverside Drive bridge at
a cost of $21,800 be accepted.
HUTCHINGS PROPERTY DISPUTE SURVEY:
The Committee reviewed and recommends accepting the proposal from Van
Horn Engineering & Surveying to survey and establish the north boundary
of Lots 32 through 36 of Little Prospect Mountain Addition and to estab-
lish the original center line of the Big Thompson River as shown on the
plat of Little Prospect Mountain Addition and Subdivision at an estimated
cost of $600.
E.P.S.D. REQUEST REGARDING MANHOLES:
A letter dated February 16, 1978 was received from the Estes Park
Sanitation District requesting the Town assume the responsibility of
raising sewer manholes when paving streets. The Committee directed the
staff to obtain a legal opinion regarding whose responsibility it is to
pay for raising the manholes.
STANLEY PARK SEWAGE DISPOSAL:
In reviewing Stanley Park's existing sewage disposal system, the Com-
mittee recommends upgrading the septic system to adequately serve the
area until connecting to public sewer. The Committee also recommends
not providing a trailer dumping station until the public sewer is avail-
able.

WATER SHOP SITE - EXISTING SEPTIC SYSTEM:
Apparently there is a septic tank and leach field belonging to Larimer
County located at the new Water Shop site which is currently being ex-
cavated. The Committee recommends notifying the County of the septic
system and proposing a cooperative effort to have it removed.
OSCILLOSCOPE PURCHASE:
Public Works Director Widmer submitted a request to purchase an oscillo-
scope for engine diagnostic work with a portion of the $5,000 budgeted
for shop equipment. Of the three bids obtained, Sun Electric Corporation's
bid was the lowest at $1,596.00. The Committee recommends obtaining an
oscilloscope from Sun Electric and selling the hand-held tools now used
for engine diagnostic work.
