ACTION ITEMS
1. Preliminary Plat TBD Raven Avenue Planner Washam
Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley, Inc., Owner/Applicant
This item was continued from the October 17, 2023 Planning Commission Meeting.
Habitat for Humanity plans to develop the five proposed lots with single-family
residences in the R-1 zone, a use-by-right.
Habitat for Humanity will construct the dwellings and sell the homes to individual,
qualified buyers. §4.3.D.4 of the Estes Park Development Code (EPDC) states, "All
developments in the R-1 District shall be subject to the attainable housing limitations for
rental and owner occupancy outlined in §11.4.C." A Deed Restriction or Restrictive
Covenant and Agreement is required per §11.4.E.4. This will be finalized and recorded
with the subsequent Raven Subdivision final plat.
Open space is required per §4.3.D.1 of the EPDC at a minimum of 15% of the total
subdivision. The Applicant proposes a conservation easement for the open space on Lot
5, with the Estes Park Housing Authority serving as the Grantee of the easement. This
will be finalized and recorded with the subsequent Raven Subdivision final plat. The open
space is approximately 6,288 square feet and is 17.5% of the total subdivision. The open
space will be used for passive recreation and accessed from the proposed sidewalk along
Raven Avenue. Staff recommended approval with the following condition: a conservation
easement agreement for the open space area on Lot 5 is reached between the Applicant
and the Town before the Raven Subdivision Preliminary Plat goes before the Town Board.
DISCUSSION:
Planning Commission – November 21, 2023 – Page 2
Dave Emerson, Applicant, was available for questions.
Lonnie Sheldon, Van Horn Engineering, requested the wording be changed from a
conservation easement to a maintenance agreement/easement.
Cooper asked for confirmation that an easement meant the property would never be
developed. Town Attorney Kramer responded that this is an exception to the provision
that open space cannot be provided within someone's lot. To avoid an HOA, the
conservation easement was requested. This issue has not been fully resolved. The
conservation easement and stormwater easement are not mutually exclusive. Shirk
expressed unease with the stormwater easement location being within the conservation
easement. Kramer stated that the easement can be used for stormwater management.
Shirk had concerns with the willows and limits of disturbance and asked for more
information on preserving the willows and what type of detention pond would be used.
Sheldon explained that this is a porous landscape detention basin (aka Rain Garden),
taking the peak flow of the outfall and letting the pond release slowly.
Jennifer Waters, Town Civil Engineer, explained that Larimer County stormwater
standards serve as an appendix to the Mile High Flood District stormwater standards and
were updated this year. A Rain Garden is typically used for detention basins in this area
because it is a good fit and economically feasible.
It was moved and seconded (Shirk/Cooper) to forward a recommendation of
approval to the Town Board of Trustees of the Raven Subdivision Preliminary
Plat, according to findings and conditions of fact recommended by Staff with the
additional requirement that the stormwater exhibit presented during this hearing
be included into the stormwater plan. The motion passed 3-1, with Pawson
abstaining.
2. Amended Development Plan Max Storage Planner Washam
DJMC LLC, Owner/Applicant
This item was continued from the October 17, 2023 Planning Commission Meeting.
The Applicant has submitted an Amended Development Plan application and requests
consideration of a minor modification to the landscape plan of the approved
development plan. The approved development plan proposed planting eight (8) trees
along Acacia Drive. With the proximity of an existing sewer easement and insurance
requirements for trees to be a minimum of ten (10) feet from the structure, the Applicant
is unable to install trees in this location. The Applicant proposes shrubs in place of trees
in this location, at a ratio of three (3) shrubs to one (1) tree for a total of twenty-four (24)
additional shrubs along Acacia Drive.
DISCUSSION:
Jes Reetz, Cornerstone Engineering, was available to answer questions.
Kramer clarified that this is a Minor Modification of a Development Plan. Development
code 7.5.c.2 does not list too many review criteria as long as the landscape plan is
satisfactory.
Pawson and Heiser expressed their appreciation and thanks to the Applicant for their
work in redesigning this plan.
It was moved and seconded (Pawson/Cooper) to approve the MAX Storage
Amended Development Plan, according to findings recommended by Staff. The
motion passed 4-0.

Existing Zoning District: E-1 (Estate)
Site Area: 7.62 Acres
(Mark all that apply)
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER______________
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective:
Conduct a public hearing to consider an application for a proposed preliminary
subdivision plat to create four (4) lots in E-1 (Estate) Residential Zoning District, review
the application for compliance with the Estes Park Development Code (EPDC), and
make a recommendation to Town Board.
Background:
The subject property is 7.62 acres in size, described as a portion of Lot 1 of Dannels
Addition to the Town of Estes Park, filed in 1954. It is zoned E-1 (Estate), and contains
one single family residence, constructed in 1965. The applicant purchased the property
in late 2022. A previous iteration of this project proposed development of three (3) ½-
acre lots and one (1) 5.82 acre lot that was contingent upon a request to rezone the
2
property from E-1 to E. That rezoning request was denied by Town Board on
September 26, 2023. Thus, the current application proposes utilizing the existing E-1
zoning and developing lots that meet the minimum one-acre lot size.
Location and Context:
The subject property is located west of the intersection of Peak View Drive and Devon
Drive, approximately ¼ mile west of South Saint Vrain Avenue (State Highway 7).

Project Description:
The applicant proposes a four-lot subdivision named Coyote Run Subdivision for single-
family residential use. Lots one through three will all be slightly over the one-acre
minimum lot size required by the E-1 zone district. Lot four will be approximately 4.4
acres and contains one existing single-family residence.
Access to lots one through three will be from Peak View Drive, utilizing a shared
driveway located within an access easement that will be privately maintained by the lot
4
owners. The existing single-family home on lot four will continue to utilize the driveway
from Peak View Drive, east of the proposed new access point.
Project Analysis
Review Criteria:
Per the EPDC, Chapter 3 Review Procedures and Standards, Section 3.9.C.1.,
General, "Subdivisions are approved in two stages: first, a preliminary subdivision plat is
approved, and second, a final subdivision plat is approved and recorded."
Section 3.2 requires the Planning Commission review the preliminary plat and make a
recommendation to the Town Board, who is the final decision-making body. The final
plat is reviewed by the Town Board only.
All applications for subdivisions shall be reviewed by the EPPC and Town Board for
compliance with the relevant standards and criteria set forth below and with other
applicable provisions of this Code. In accordance with § 3.9.E. “Standards for Review”
of the EPDC, all subdivision applications shall demonstrate compliance with the
standards and criteria set forth in Chapter 10, "Subdivision Standards," and all other
applicable provisions of this Code.
Depending upon the project's complexity, this section may be a brief summary of the
standards of review or may involve a more detailed analysis of the criteria based on
issues relevant to any particular project.
A. Lots. The proposed Coyote Run Subdivision is a subdivision of Lot 1, Dannels
Addition. The four-lot subdivision includes three lots, each approximately one
acre in size, and one lot of approximately 4.4-acres in size. All lots meet
applicable minimum zoning standards for the E-1 (Estate) Zoning District.
B. Subdivision Design Standards. No subdivision application shall be approved
unless it complies with all of the following standards and criteria:
1. Relationship to Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is designated
as Suburban Estate in the Estes Forward Comprehensive Plan's Future Land
Use Map. This category "is intended for low to medium density single family
residential development.” The Built Form of this category “typically consists of
medium-sized single-family homes on lots that are at least a quarter-acre in
size… new homes should be appropriately scaled for compatibility with
existing neighborhood character.” The proposed subdivision is consistent with
the surrounding area and with the recommendations of the Estes Forward
Comprehensive Plan.
2. Geologic and Wildfire Hazard Areas. There are no abnormal Geologic or
Wildfire Hazard areas identified within this subdivision area.
5
3. Off-Site Utilities and Services.
a. Water. The Town of Estes Park will provide water service to the four
proposed lots. Town Utilities/Water has stated they can provide water
with service lines using existing mains in this area and has "no
objection" to the preliminary plat application.
b. Fire Protection. The Estes Valley Fire Protection District has reviewed
this proposal and commented that fire hydrants are required (one is
proposed at the southwest corner of lot four).
c. Electric. Power and Communications has no objections to the
proposed subdivision request.
d. Sanitary Sewer. The Upper Thompson Sanitation District (UTSD)
provides sewer services to the area and will make comments upon
receiving and reviewing a full set of construction drawings pertaining to
the sanitary sewer.
e. Stormwater Drainage. The Applicant submitted a Preliminary
Drainage Report (Attachment 4) and Grading, Drainage, and an
Erosion Control Plans (Attachment 5). Public Works finds the submittal
requirements substantially met subject to minor corrections which will
be made with the Final Plat submittal.
4. Plans for Remainder Parcel(s).
There are no remainder parcels with this subdivision. Lot four is large enough
to potentially be further subdivided in the future but the applicant has not
indicated any plans to that effect.
5. Orientation of Land Uses.
The proposed four lot subdivision will be for single-family residential use and
is consistent with surrounding uses and density.
6. Improvements.
The code requires all public improvements to either be installed or financially
guaranteed. An Improvement Agreement and the associated improvements
will be secured by letter of credit or cash deposit as part of the Final Plat.
7. Reserved Strips Prohibited.
Not applicable.
C. Compliance With Zoning Requirements.
1. Compliance with Zoning Development Standards. The proposed layout of
lots, driveways, utilities, drainage facilities and other services are designed
consistent with the code requirement that seeks to minimize the land
6
disturbance, maximize the amount of open space in the development, and
preserve existing trees/vegetation.
2. Limits of Disturbance. Section 10.5.B.2 of the EPDC requires that limits of
disturbance (LOD) be established with the subdivision of land. The proposed
limits of disturbance for each lot coincides with the required building setback
(25 feet from all property lines).
D. Streets. No new public streets are proposed with the subdivision. Traffic
generated by the subdivision does not warrant turn lanes on Peak View Drive. As
a collector street Peak View Drive is required to have a minimum six foot wide
bike lane per Development Code Appendix D Section II.B1.c. Public Works has
indicated they will waive this requirement if a ten foot wide trail is built in
accordance with the Estes Valley Master Trails Plan (see Plan maps here).
Access to lots one through three will be from Peak View Drive, utilizing a shared
driveway located within an access easement that will be privately maintained by
the lot owners. A maintenance agreement will be required with the final
subdivision plat application and will be recorded to ensure perpetual
maintenance. The single-family home on lot four will continue to use the driveway
that already serves the residence.
E. Sidewalks, Pedestrian Connections and Trails. There is currently no trail or
sidewalk along the 1.7 mile length of Peak View Drive between Highway 7 and
Marys Lake Road but a future trail is identified in the Estes Valley Master Trails
Plan, which states:
To increase neighborhood connectivity, the Peak View Drive corridor was
identified to link Country Club Drive and the proposed Fish Creek Trail to
Kruger Rock Trail. A short segment should also be constructed on the
west side of St. Vrain Avenue. This would create needed east to west
access in the southern portion of the Estes Valley. To slow traffic on
Highway 7, a gateway treatment is recommended in advance of the trail
crossing across on Highway 7.
Trails shown in the Master Trails Plan are constructed both as capital projects
undertaken by the Town and as a requirement of private development such as
the proposed subdivision. Sections 4.3.D.3, 7.4 and 10.5.D cover sidewalk,
pedestrian connections, and trail requirements, including the following excerpts:
7
§ 4.3 - Residential Zoning Districts
D. Additional Zoning District Standards.
3. Pedestrian Amenities and Linkage Requirements.
a. Provision shall be made for pedestrian amenities and linkages in the
residential zoning districts, including but not limited to sidewalks,
pathways and bikeways.
b. To the maximum extent feasible, provision shall be made in the design
of developments for interconnections with existing or planned streets and
pedestrian or bikeway systems on adjoining properties, unless the Estes
Valley Planning Commission determines that such interconnections
would have adverse impacts on open spaces, wetlands, sensitive
environmental areas or other significant natural areas.
c. Sidewalks shall be provided as set forth in §10.5.D, "Sidewalks,
Pedestrian Connections and Trails.
§ 7.4 - PUBLIC TRAILS AND PRIVATE OPEN AREAS
A. Applicability.
1.Trails. All new subdivisions shall provide for public trails pursuant to this
Section and Chapter 4, "Zoning Districts."
C. Locational Criteria.
3. Dedications for trails shall be at locations deemed appropriate by the
Decision-Making Body and shall, to the maximum extent feasible, be in
accord with the trails/bike path element contained in the Estes Valley
Comprehensive Plan or any other subsequently adopted comprehensive
hike/bike or open areas plan.
F. Design Criteria.
2.Trails. Dedicated public trails shall meet the following design standards:
a. Dedication of land shall be a minimum width of twenty-five (25)
feet; and
b. The trail shall conform to design criteria set forth in any bike/trail
plan or park and recreation plan adopted by the Town of Estes Park
or Larimer County, if applicable.
8
§ 10.5 - SUBDIVISION DESIGN STANDARDS
D. Sidewalks, Pedestrian Connections and Trails.
1. General.
a. To the maximum extent feasible, all subdivisions shall provide
pedestrian linkages, including trails, to parks, schools, adjacent
developments and existing and proposed hike and bike trails as depicted
in the Estes Valley Long Range Hike and Bike Trails Plan (found in the
Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan).
b. Hard-surfaced pedestrian walkways (minimum five [5] feet in width) or
easements (minimum ten [10] feet in width) may be required to provide
access to parks or open areas, schools or other similar areas where, in
the Decision-Making Body's opinion, significant pedestrian usage is
anticipated or adequate pedestrian circulation is needed.
In accordance with the above code sections, staff has determined that a ten-foot-
wide concrete trail, placed within a 25-foot-wide easement, is required along the
length of Peak View Drive. The applicant has agreed to dedicate the 25-foot-wide
easement but has requested the requirement to construct the trail be waived in
the statement of intent (Attachment 2). The Code does not specifically address
criteria for waiving the trail requirement but Section 7.4.C.3 above indicates
dedications for trails shall be at locations deemed appropriate by the Decision-
Making Body, Town Board in this case.
F. Open Space Area. The EPDC Section 4.3.D. requires residential subdivisions
containing five or more lots to set aside a percentage of the gross land area for
open areas. The subdivision application proposes four lots and therefore is not
subject to this requirement.
Review Agency Comments:
The preliminary plat application was referred out to all applicable review agencies for
comment. Agency comments were received by Staff, which have been addressed with
the revised plat submittal (Attachment 3).
Public Comments:
A neighborhood and community meeting regarding the preliminary and final plat was
held in the Estes Park Library, 335 East Elkhorn Avenue on November 13, 2023. There
were approximately twelve residents in attendance. A summary of the meeting provided
by the applicant is enclosed (Attachment 6). No formal public comments were received
at the time of this staff report.

Staff Findings:
Based on the foregoing, staff finds:
1. The Planning Commission is the Recommending Body for the Preliminary Plat.
2. The Town of Estes Park Board of Trustees is the Decision-Making Body for the
Preliminary Plat. Town Board approval of a Final Plat is also necessary to
subdivide the property.
3. Adequate public/private facilities are currently available to serve the subject
property.
4. This request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff for
consideration and comment.
5. The Preliminary Plat application complies with applicable standards set forth in
the EPDC, with the exception of the requirement for a 10-foot-wide concrete trail
along Peak View Drive, which the applicant has requested be waived.
Advantages:
This proposal is consistent with the standards of the EPDC, specifically: Section 3.9
“Subdivisions” and Chapter 10 “Subdivision Standards”, with the exception of the trail
requirement outlined above. Approval of the Coyote Run Subdivision Preliminary Plat
would allow the applicant to move forward with a final subdivision plat application and
towards development of a four-lot residential subdivision. This would result in an
increase in housing stock for the Estes Valley.
Disadvantages:
None known.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends Planning Commission forward to the Town Board a recommendation
of approval of the Coyote Run Preliminary Subdivision Plat according to the findings of
fact and subject to the following conditions of approval below:
a. The applicant shall provide a ten-foot-wide concrete trail for the length of
the Peak View Drive frontage on lots one and four.
b. Any outstanding staff and referral agency comments shall be addressed
on the final subdivision plat.
Finance/Resource Impact:
Little or none.
10
Level of Public Interest
Moderate.

1. I move to forward a recommendation of approval to the Town Board of Trustees
of the Coyote Run Preliminary Subdivision Plat, according to findings of fact
recommended by Staff and with the following conditions of approval:
a. The applicant shall provide a ten-foot-wide concrete trail shall for the
length of the Peak View Drive frontage on lots one and four.
b. Any outstanding staff and referral agency comments shall be addressed
on the final subdivision plat

STATEMENT OF INTENT
Preliminary Plat of Coyote Ridge Subdivision in Estes Park, Colorado
CMS Planning & Development, Inc. - Applicant
Revised on 11/27/23
The subject property is 7.62 acres located at 685 Peak View Drive, on the north side of Peak View Drive
and approximately 1/3 mile west of South Saint Vrain (Highway 7) in Estes Park, Colorado. It is zoned E-1,
which allows 1-acre minimum single-family residential lots. The Applicant is proposing a Preliminary Plat
to subdivide it into three 1-acre+ lots and one 4 ½ acre lot.
Access
All three of the new single-family lots access onto a private, shared driveway in a 45-foot-wide access
easement on Lots 1 and 2. This private driveway provides access onto Peak View Drive across from Longs
Drive. The existing residence on the 4 ½ acre lot will keep the existing access drive off of Peak View Drive.
Utilities
Underground electric and water mains will be extended to the new subdivision from locations near the
intersection of Devon Drive and Darcy to the subject property. Two new fire hydrants will be installed on
the property, and a fire truck turn around will be provided on the shared driveway. A sewer main will
extended from the west along the north side of Peak View Drive to the subject property.
Phasing Schedule
The construction of infrastructure for the subdivision will begin immediately upon Final Plat filing. The
first house will begin construction as soon as a permit can be obtained.
Waiver of Trail Requirement
The applicant is requesting a waiver of the requirement for a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail for this
subdivision. In the zoning district descriptions in Chapter 4 of the Development Code, there appears to be
a distinct difference between the E (1/2 acre lots) and E-1 (1 acre lots). The clear difference is that E
requires "providing for additional parks, open space and trail/bikeway connections", whereas E-1 makes
no mention of such amenities. The implication in the zoning district descriptions is that the trail
requirement doesn't apply in the E-1 zoning. We are not aware of any E-1 subdivisions which have been
required to install the 10'-wide concrete trail, and there are no sidewalks or trails along the entire length
of Peak View Drive.
Standards For Review
This Preliminary Plat meets all the requirements outlined in the Estes Park Development Code Chapters 3
and 10.

Minutes for the Coyote Run Preliminary and Final Plat Neighborhood
Meeting. On 11/13/23, 6 PM at the Estes Park Public Library.
The meeting started right at 6 PM. There were general, but no formal introductions.
A group of 12 or so from the public came up to the front table to review the materials
provided and that were laid out.
Questions/comments included:
Concern about the culvert pipe under Peak View Road at the west end of the property.
Increase in Storm water flow is the concern for the neighbor to the south.
Question about the location of the concrete washout structure, which was answered by
locating it on the erosion control plan.
Question about the distinction of a driveway versus a road.
Easement versus a right of way was discussed.
How many homes can be on the driveway before it is considered a road? 4.
Question about the height of the units. 30 foot height limit with adjustable measurement
for such according to the code.
Question about the HOA. Will there be one? Yes, seems so.
Seems like there should be an H.O.A. to share the maintenance of the driveway.
Kristine P. would like a specific answer to this.
Question, if we are submitting the preliminary and final Plats together. Both are
prepared for that.
Question about the wildlife path across the property. Not shown on drawings.
Question about if the internal driveway would be paved. Yes.
Question about if three or four more lots will be available in the 4.5 acre parcel. Future
question.
It was pointed out that the lots to the north are listed smaller than they actually exist
because they extend across Devon Drive
Question about trees on-near the spite strip. Will they be removed? Can be for utilities,
but not planned to be removed unless necessary.
There were a couple of corrections on ownership and spelling for the neighboring lot
information.
The powerline on the communication sheet does not clearly show the proposed
powerline
The owners to the south named Dan and Tami request a special meeting about the
stormwater culvert pipe outlet. That outlet water does not damage their house, but
makes their backyard wet.
There were nine people on the zoom link and 12 that attended the meeting and signed
up on the attendance roster.
The meeting ended at 7 o’clock.

anticipated or adequate pedestrian circulation is needed.
Staff Findings
1.The Planning Commission is the Recommending Body for the
Preliminary Plat.
2.The Town of Estes Park Board of Trustees is the Decision-Making
Body for the Preliminary Plat. Town Board approval of a Final Plat is
also necessary to subdivide the property.
3.Adequate public/private facilities are currently available to serve the
subject property.
4.This request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency
staff for consideration and comment.
5.The Preliminary Plat application complies with applicable standards
set forth in the EPDC, with the exception of the requirement for a 10-
foot-wide concrete trail along Peak View Drive, which the applicant
has requested be waived.
Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages:
This proposal is consistent with the standards of the EPDC,
specifically: Section 3.9 “Subdivisions” and Chapter 10
“Subdivision Standards”, with the exception of the trail
requirement outlined above. Approval of the Coyote Run
Subdivision Preliminary Plat would allow the applicant to
move forward with a final subdivision plat application and
towards development of a four-lot residential subdivision.
This would result in an increase in housing stock for the
Estes Valley.
Disadvantages:
None known.
Action Recommended
Staff recommends Planning Commission forward to the Town
Board a recommendation of approval of the Coyote Run
Preliminary Subdivision Plat according to the findings of fact
and subject to the following conditions of approval:
a)The applicant shall provide a ten-foot-wide concrete trail for
the length of the Peak View Drive frontage on lots one and
four.
b)Any outstanding staff and referral agency comments shall be
addressed on the final subdivision plat.
Sample Motion
1. I move to forward a recommendation of approval to the Town Board of Trustees of
the Coyote Run Preliminary Subdivision Plat, according to findings of fact
recommended by Staff and with the following conditions of approval:

b. Any outstanding staff and referral agency comments shall be addressed
on the final subdivision plat
2. I move to continue the Coyote Run Preliminary Subdivision Plat application to the
next regularly scheduled meeting, finding that ... [state reasons for continuing].
3. I move to forward a recommendation of denial to the Town Board of Trustees of the
Coyote Run Preliminary Subdivision Plat application, finding that ... [state findings for

Dear Planning Commission:
I'm writing to ask you to require the developer to provide the items that were contingent to your approval of the preliminary
development plan for this property at your 8/15/23 meeting. At that meeting Public Works engineer Waters said that the
town would require a trail and 25 ft. easement along Peak View Drive as required by the Development Code.
In addition, the motion to approve the preliminary plat was contingent provision of a stormwater plan that included Type R
catch basins, which would require a paved entry drive off of Peak View. The entry drive should be required to be paved
not only to control storm water, but to prevent gravel from being washed down the steep drive onto Peak View and Longs
Drive below. Paving will prevent gravel from filling up the drainage swale and circumventing the planned drainage path.
Respectfully,
Jed Eide
607 Longs Drive

Subject: Public Comment for Coyote Run
To all concerned parties:
I would like to go on record for a few items regarding the proposed Coyote Run Subdivision Plat
which will be heard by the Planning Commission on 12/19/2023 and, subsequently, for the vote
of the Board of Trustees.
To begin, there have been numerous conversations in the past about Mr. Theis establishing a
Homeowner's Association (HOA), or Property Owner's Association (POA), for the proposed
Coyote Run Subdivision.
I am in full support of such an entity for the upcoming Homeowners, as well as for the adjacent
property owners, and anyone who drives by, and believe that it is necessary for many
reasons. Mr. Theis has previously said that he was open to discussing this. He said this most
recently, at the last Neighborhood meeting that he personally attended, on 9/22/2023. Please
make this a requirement of your conditions of approval in your recommendations to the Town
Board.
I would also like to address the lack of a Traffic Study to investigate the impact on Peak View
Drive, a heavily utilized collector road. It is not posted on the Town’s website. Traffic has
always been a major concern f or this property and for any proposed changes.
Next, the updated Statement of Intent that was submitted by Mr. Theis on 11/27/2023,
requests:
"Waiver of Trail Requirement
The applicant is requesting a waiver of the requirement for a 10footwide multiuse trail for
this subdivision. [sic]"
Mr. Theis refers to the EPDC in his updated Statement of Intent. Please refer to the Estes
Forward Comprehensive Plan, specifically T1 and T2 for the "...future..." as Ms. Waters, Public
Works, referred to this issue during the Planning Commission Meeting on August 15,
2023. During this meeting, Ms. Waters informed the Planning Commissioners, TOEP Staff, Mr.
Theis and the Public, that "...the future is now..."She even apologized to Mr. Theis for
informing him, at that moment, that Public Works "...would be requiring Trails not sidewalks..."
I understand that there are no existing sidewalks or trails along Peak View. I understand that a
Trail described as "...to nowhere..." may not be best for now; however, that does not mean that
the requirement is waived for the Developer. Perhaps the Developer can fund Trails for
another, immediate need, in Town for Trails, or funds can be escrowed for the "future"
Trails. This is very important.
To continue, I have serious concerns about adding another Subdivision without a paved road
(please also refer to the Comp Plan for the "future" and “new developments”) for the EVFPD
and their needed turning radius. I understand that the EVFPD was "ok" with the earlier
"temporary turn around." Others were not. It is no longer shown on the Draft on the Town’s
website.
I also have concerns about the ownership and the maintenance of a shared, unpaved driveway,
as it is being presented. This would be better controlled with an HOA or a POA. There have
been concerns about the slope of the "road" as well.
I trust that the Planning Commissioners and Town Staff will abide by all rules and regulations,
all Code, for the safety of the Community, as always.
There have been many instances of personal decisionmaking, by Staff, regarding this
application and Mr. Theis’ other applications. Previously, personal Staff "interpretations"
played a prominent role in past iterations that I trust that will not happen again.
I thank you, in advance, for reading my email and for "hearing" some of my concerns, issues.
With thanks,
Kristine L. Poppitz

approval in your recommenda ons to the Town Board.
I would also like to address the lack of a Traffic Study to inves gate the impact on Peak View Drive, a heavily
u lized collector road. It is not posted on the Town’s website. Traffic has always been a major concern f or
this property and for any proposed changes.
Next, the updated Statement of Intent that was submi ed by Mr. Theis on 11/27/2023, requests:
"Waiver of Trail Requirement
The applicant is reques ng a waiver of the requirement for a 10-foot-wide mul -use trail for this
subdivision. [sic]"
Mr. Theis refers to the EPDC in his updated Statement of Intent. Please refer to the Estes Forward
Comprehensive Plan, specifically T1 and T2 for the "...future..." as Ms. Waters, Public Works, referred to this
issue during the Planning Commission Mee ng on August 15, 2023. During this mee ng, Ms. Waters
informed the Planning Commissioners, TOEP Staff, Mr. Theis and the Public, that "...the future is now..." She
even apologized to Mr. Theis for informing him, at that moment, that Public Works "...would be requiring
Trails not sidewalks..."
I understand that there are no exis ng sidewalks or trails along Peak View. I understand that a Trail
described as "...to nowhere..." may not be best for now; however, that does not mean that the requirement
is waived for the Developer. Perhaps the Developer can fund Trails for another, immediate need, in Town
for Trails, or funds can be escrowed for the "future" Trails. This is very important.
To con nue, I have serious concerns about adding another Subdivision without a paved road (please also
refer to the Comp Plan for the "future" and “new developments”) for the EVFPD and their needed turning
radius. I understand that the EVFPD was "ok" with the earlier "temporary turn around." Others were not. It
is no longer shown on the Dra on the Town’s website.
I also have concerns about the ownership and the maintenance of a shared, unpaved driveway, as it is being
presented. This would be be er controlled with an HOA or a POA. There have been concerns about the
slope of the "road" as well.
I trust that the Planning Commissioners and Town Staff will abide by all rules and regula ons, all Code, for
the safety of the Community, as always.
There have been many instances of personal decision-making, by Staff, regarding this applica on and Mr.
Theis’ other applica ons. Previously, personal Staff "interpreta ons" played a prominent role in past
itera ons that I trust that will not happen again.
I thank you, in advance, for reading my email and for "hearing" some of my concerns, issues.
With thanks,
Kris ne L. Poppitz
