RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Regular Meeting of the Estes Valley Board of Adjustment
August 6, 2013, 9:00 a.m.
Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall
Board: Chair Jeff Moreau, Vice-Chair Bob McCreery, Members John Lynch,
Wayne Newsom, and Pete Smith; Alternate Member Chris Christian
Attending: Chair Moreau, Members McCreery, and Newsom
Also Attending: Director Chilcott, Planner Kleisler, Recording Secretary Thompson
Absent: Members Lynch and Smith
Chair Moreau called the meeting to order at 9:05 a.m.
The following minutes reflect the order of the agenda and not necessarily the chronological
sequence. There were three people in attendance.
1. PUBLIC COMMENT
None.
2. CONSENT
Approval of minutes of the July 2, 2013 meeting.
It was moved and seconded (Newsom/McCreery) to approve the Consent Agenda as
presented and the motion passed unanimously with two absent.
3. METES & BOUNDS PARCEL, 978 Sutton Lane
Planner Kleisler reviewed the staff report. The property at issue is located outside the
Town limits near Marys Lake. The surrounding neighborhood is low-density residential.
The request is for a variance from EVDC Section 4.3, Table 4-2, which requires buildings
and accessory structures be setback a minimum of 25 feet from the side property line in
the E-1–Estate zone district. The applicant requests to encroach approximately 13 feet
into the setback to enclose an existing deck and construct a new deck that would extend
past the enclosure. Approximately 100 square feet of the proposed deck would be
constructed in the front setback. The application was routed to affected agencies and
adjacent property owners. No comments or concerns were received.
Staff Findings
1. Special Circumstances or Conditions Exist
Staff found the home is partially located within the side setback. According to the
Larimer County Tax Assessor, the single-family home was built in 1920 and is legally
nonconforming to current setback standards. The lot size is 0.7 acres, which is
generally more compatible with the E–Estate zone district (1/2 acre minimum with side
setbacks of ten feet).
2. Practical Difficulty
a. Staff found the residential use may continue without the variance
b. Staff found the variance was not substantial
c. Staff found the essential character of the neighborhood would not be substantially
altered with the approval of this variance. Nearby homes are generally the same
size or larger, and many decks similar in scope to the one proposed. Adjoining
properties would not suffer a substantial detriment as a result of this variance. The
nearest property is a residential dwelling approximately 114 feet to the west.
d. Affected agencies expressed no concerns relating to public services for this
variance.
e. The applicant purchased the property in early 2013, after the adoption of the
current setback requirements.
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Board of Adjustment 2
July 2, 2013
f. The variance request is the only practical option to enclose the existing porch. The
proposed deck could be constructed to meet setback requirements.
g. The size of the proposed deck could be shortened and still meet the egress needs
of the applicant.
3. Staff found they could determine compliance with the variance without an official
setback certificate.
Staff recommended approval of the variance, with conditions listed below.
Staff and Board Member Discussion
Member Newsom commented there was no notice nor staking of the site. There was brief
discussion about the elevation drawings. It was determined the proposed deck would not
extend further west on the property than the existing porch. Member McCreery stated the
photos in the staff report were very helpful.
Public Comment
Steve Discher/applicant purchased the property out of bankruptcy and is in the process of
renovating the property. He presented a slide show of the property and improvements
made thus far. Mr. Discher has applied for the building permit, which is pending
depending on the outcome of the variance request. He thanked the Board for their
volunteer efforts.
It was moved and seconded (Newsom/McCreery) to approve the variance request as
presented with the findings and conditions recommended by staff and the motion
passed unanimously with two absent.
REPORTS
Director Chilcott stated there were no reports.
Member McCreery requested a study session prior to the anticipated hearing for a height
variance request for the proposed performing arts center (EPIC). Director Chilcott stated a
study session would take place, and Town Attorney White would be in attendance at the
study session and subsequent Board of Adjustment meeting. Member McCreery is
concerned the approval of the variance would create a new height standard. Director
Chilcott shared her hopes that any future applications for this proposed project would be
submitted concurrently as a package with coordinated meeting schedules. This would
allow a full understanding of the entire proposal by all decision-making bodies. She
understood the frustrations of the Board.
Steve Nagl/Town resident requested the public be informed of the upcoming study
session and Board of Adjustment meeting concerning the height variance. Director
Chilcott stated the Community Development Department had not yet received an
application for the project. The public is welcome to attend all public meetings. She stated
residents that want to be included on the mailing list can contact the Planning Department
with their name and address and they will be included on the list. Member Moreau stated
it would be very important for any required notices to be posted as directed. Director
Chilcott stated public comment is not taken at study sessions, although the public is
welcome to attend. All public comment is taken during the public hearings. Written
comments would be included in the meeting packets to the Board, and also posted on the
Town website.
There being no further business, Chair Moreau adjourned the meeting at 9:35 a.m.

The following minutes reflect the order of the agenda and not necessarily the chronological sequence.
Chair Hull called the meeting to order at 1:30 p.m. There were approximately 34 people in

1. PUBLIC COMMENT
None
2. CONSENT AGENDA
A. Approval of minutes, June 18, 2013 Planning Commission meeting.
B. Lake Pines Amended Plat, 625 Community Drive
It was moved and seconded (Hills/Murphree) to approve the consent agenda and the motion
passed unanimously (4-0) with two absent and one vacancy.
3. ZONING AMENDMENT AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2013-02; TRACT 2, HILLERY PARRACK
EXEMPTION PLAT, 1753 Wildfire Road
Commissioner Wise recused himself from the review of this project and left the dais.
Director Chilcott reviewed the staff report. The applicant has requested to remove the existing
restrictions on the CH–Commercial Heavy zoning, which were put in place with the Nytes
Rezoning in 2005. At that time the property was rezoned from E–Estate to CH-Commercial Heavy,
with restrictions. The current request is not to rezone, but to remove the restrictions placed on
the property in 2005. The applicant has also submitted an associated development plan. Director
Chilcott stated staff has continued the application due to the complexity of various issues with
proposed use, the intensity of the use, neighborhood compatibility, etc. Staff will conduct more
research and will have a recommendation at the August Planning Commission meeting. No action
was taken by the Commission; however, public comment was accepted.
Public Comment
Corinne Dyer/Town resident distributed copies of her comments (dated July 16, 2013), which
were posted on the Town website following the meeting. Her comments related directly to the
existing restrictions on the property. The restrictions were placed on the property because the
full range of uses allowed under the CH–Commercial Heavy zoning classification would not be
appropriate at that location. She stated the intent of the County Commissioner’s decision was to
allow limited use of the property while promoting growth of the community as a whole. One of
the restrictions placed stated no outside storage of business or construction materials would be
allowed on the property. She was disappointed no enforcement of the restrictions had taken
place, and was opposed to the removal of the restrictions.
Gayle Tiejtens/Town resident was concerned about possible fire issues. She was opposed to the
waiver to allow delay of installation of the water main extension and fire hydrant, as well as the
waiver to extend the amount of time to abandon the water well. She was concerned about the
high fire danger with lumber and lumber mill debris stored on site. She was aware that limiting

the height of the pole barns would eliminate the need for an automatic sprinkler system. She
thought this may be in conflict with the Estes Valley Fire Protection Districts requirements.
Bob Umscheid/Town resident was opposed to expanded development in a residential area.
Director Chilcott and Town Attorney White answered questions concerning the Development
Code and the Comprehensive Plan.
Dionna Patterson/Town resident was opposed to the development. She was concerned about
traffic, pollution, and potential for fire. She encouraged the Commission to consider the neighbors
on all sides of the property. She was opposed to the waivers delaying installation of the
infrastructure.
Public Comment Closed.
Chair Hull stated the review of this proposal would be heard by the Planning Commission on
Tuesday, August 20, 2013, at 1:30 p.m.
4. PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAT & DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2013-03, MOUNTAIN RIVER
TOWNHOMES, 650 Moraine Avenue
Planner Shirk stated the property owner requested continuance of this project to the August,
2013 meeting. The application proposes redevelopment of the Telemark property on Moraine
Avenue, with the intent to construct 34 residential/accommodations units. The street design
would extend Park River West from the east side of the proposed project, loop around through
the development, and join Moraine at the intersection with Cedar Ridge Circle. Fifteen units
would be located along the river, and the remainder of the units would be north of the road
through the development. Staff still has research to conduct concerning limits of disturbance,
wildlife habitat, right-of-way dedication, etc. Planner Shirk stated although the review will be
continued to August, public comment would be accepted at the meeting.
Gordon Ulrickson/Town resident and Secretary/Treasurer of Mountain Haven Condominiums,
directly west of the proposed development. They have been working with the developer and the
construction company, specifically to discuss relocation of the existing sewer line. There are still
some questions about the new road into the Mountain Haven property. They want to know
where the west property line and easement are located. Mr. Ulrickson was opposed to the
removal of the large trees on the west side of the proposed development.
Gail Shroyer/Town resident was concerned about impact on wildlife. She was concerned about
the density of townhomes along the river, and shared Mr. Ulrickson’s opinion about removing the
large trees, or possible damage to those trees due to trenching.
Brian Maders/Town resident was concerned about the close proximity of the proposed road to
his property, and also the increased traffic creating light pollution. He agreed with the concerns
about the large trees.
Stewart Squires/President of Park River West Condominiums Home Owners Association stated
the association met with the developer to discuss concerns and present questions. They were
impressed with the proposed development and thought it would complement Park River West
and be supportive of property values in the area. They support the waiver request for the public
trail easement that would adjoin the existing trail. Mr. Squires stated the developers have agreed
that no construction traffic would go through Park River West, construction crew parking and
materials storage would be confined to the west side of the property, and the road between
Mountain River Townhomes and Park River West would remain closed until sales offices for the
development are established on the property. They requested the Town enforce the code
concerning dust control and code be enforced concerning dust control and mud on vehicles being

removed prior to leaving the property. After reviewing the Traffic Impact Study, his group did not
think the study was of sufficient scope to address the impact to Park River West with a second
entrance to the project. Mr. Squires suggested there would be a substantial increase in thru
traffic from residents and non-residents alike. Impact on traffic at Park River West was not
addressed in the study. The association objected to an entrance into Mountain River Townhomes
from Park River West. If the road is built, they requested speed control ramps at least on the
portion of road through Park River West, and signage at the entrance to Park River West to deter
non-essential through traffic. They objected to access aprons running north/south along the fence
line, and the entrance into the new development property. They requested a waiver be granted
to allow removal of those required aprons.
Vinton Arnett/Town resident was concerned about increased traffic. He asked the Commission to
consider a turn lane into the proposed development. He was also concerned about the impact on
wildlife, due to the close proximity of a conservation easement directly across Moraine Avenue
from the property.
Fletcher Shields/Town resident was also concerned about the impact on wildlife and increased
traffic, especially during construction.
Pat Blume/Town resident read the letter to the editor published July 12, 2013 in the local
newspaper. Concerns included increased traffic congestion on Moraine and the impact on
wildlife. She disagreed with the traffic impact study concerning the numbers of vehicles and
potential noise.
Chair Hull closed public comment. She stated the application would be reviewed at the August
Planning Commission meeting.
5. REPORTS
A. Comprehensive Plan – Director Chilcott
1. Director Chilcott stated staff continues to work on the modernization of the Comprehensive
Plan. She showed several slides of the draft version. Planner Kleisler has reviewed the data
tables in the land use section, simplifying the data for more clarity. Mr. Kleisler stated
additional land uses would be added, e.g. religious and school uses. The Town’s GIS consultant
would be improving the maps to include some physical features in the area. Director Chilcott
stated time has been spent on the Action Plan section of the plan and updating charts created
by the Planning Commission approximately one year ago. Estimated costs have been changed
from actual dollars to symbols conveying approximate project costs. References to EPURA will
be removed. Planner Shirk worked on the Mobility and Circulation section, stating the current
plan (1996) used data from the 1980s. Several projects in the 1996 plan would be removed,
having been completed. Planner Shirk stated it was interesting to see ideas in the 1996 plan
for a parking lot at the fairgrounds and a possible parking structure at the visitor center.
B. County Commission Reviews – Senior Planner Shirk
1. The Woodland Heights Fire Resolution was approved on June 17, 2013.
2. Staff has been meeting on a monthly basis with the County Commissioners to keep them
updated on the planning and development activities in the Estes Valley.
C. Code Compliance – Code Compliance Officer Kleisler
1. An accommodations business has added some exterior lighting, drawing complaints about
glare from adjacent property owners. The property owners are in the process of making
adjustments to come into compliance with the EVDC.
2. There is an area in the Estes Valley with recreational vehicles (RVs) connected to water and
sewer and being used as dwellings. These RVs are not in a zone district allowing such use. He
has been working with those residents and property owners to remedy the situation. Social
services has been contacted to help the residents find an alternative place to live.
3. The greatly improved Code Compliance database will help address issues in a more timely
and efficient manner.

EVDC,all applications for variances shall demonstrate compliance with the applicable
standards and criteria contained therein.
The Board of Adjustment is the decision-making body for this application.
REFFERAL AND PUBLIC COMMENTS:This request has been routed to reviewing

Public.As of September 3,2013,staff has not received comments from the public.If
comments are received they will be posted at www.estes.org/CurrentAIications for
Planning Commission review.
STAFF FINDINGS:
1.Special circumstances or conditions exist (e.g.,exceptional topographic conditions,
narrowness,shallowness or the shape of the property)that are not common to other
areas or buildings similarly situated and practical difficulty may result from strict
compliance with this Code’s standards,provided that the requested variance will not
have the effect of nullifying or impairing the intent and purposes of either the specific
standards,this Code or the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Finding:The home is partially located within the side setback.
According to the Larimer County Tax Assessor,this single-family home
was built in 1939 and is legally nonconforming to current setback
standards.
2.In determining “practical difficulty,”the BOA shall consider the following factors:
a.Whether there can be any beneficial use of the property without the variance;
Staff Finding:Residential use may continue.
b.Whether the variance is substantial;
Staff Finding:The variance is not substantial.
c.Whether the essential character of the neighborhood would be substantially
altered or whether adjoining properties would suffer a substantial detriment as a
result of the variance;
Staff Finding:The essential character of the neighborhood would not be
substantially altered with the approval of this variance.Nearby homes are
generally the same size or larger,with some having decks similar in scope
to the one proposed.Adjoining properties would not suffer a substantial

construct a functional deck.
3.If authorized,a variance shall represent the least deviation from the regulations that
will afford relief.
Staff Finding:The functionality of the proposed deck may be limited if built
outside of required setbacks.
4.In granting such variances,the BOA may require such conditions as will,in its
independent judgment,secure substantially the objectives of the standard so varied

Letter of Intention for Deck Construction at 217 Big Horn Dr.
Thank you for reviewing our deck project at 217 Big Horn Drive.We are applying for this
variance because our home sits strangely close to the North edge of our property line,18”to be exact.
We want to construct a cedar deck off our back door which would extent roughly 14 to 16 feet and be
approximately 12 to 14 feet wide.We would like to know about the possibility of constructing our deck
60”from the property line.This would be considered a 50%variance from our current setback.
We believe conditions exist with our house,lot and current project which when compared with
surrounding areas are not common.Since these conditions exist practical difficulty may result from
strict building set back compliance.Furthermore,the requested variance will not have any effect on the
closest neighbor,but rather the approved variance will allow the deck to be closer to the ground and
less visible.We strive to make this deck ascetic with the surroundings and complimentary to the
neighborhood.Thank you for your help with our very unique building situation.
