RE: Rooftop Rodeo Committee Approval
Background:
Per the bylaws of the Rodeo Committee, membership and officers are approved by the
Town Board each year. Included in your packet is a complete 2010-2011 membership
listing, with the following members being elected by the membership to serve as
officers:
President — Howell Wright
Vice President — Wini Spahnle
Secretary — J'Ann Wright
Treasurer — John Spahnle
The committee continues to grow. This year six interns (Brett Dennis, Kyle Ester, Rick
Grabish, Rick Life, Lanny Light and Wendy Neuzil) have been moved to active
members.
Seven new interns (Cindy Bartush, Paul Bartush, Don Gardner, Cheri Gardner, Emily
Herold, Laurie Wenzel and Ken Wenzel) have joined the Committee,
Steve Wilson and Don Moor have requested to be placed on the senior member list.
Both qualify to be senior members under the bylaws because they have been active
members for ten years.
Recommendation:
I recommend the approval of the Rooftop Rodeo officers and membership as presented
to the Community Development/Community Services Committee, to be included on the
consent agenda at the November 9, 2010 Town Board meeting.

Memo
To: Community Development/Community Services Committee
From: Bo Winslow, Fairgrounds and Events Manager
Date: October 28, 2010
RE: Winter Festival Road Closure
Background:
In January 2010, several Estes Park organizations joined forces to hold an event in
Bond Park called Winter Festival. For 2011 the Longs Peak Rotary Club is taking the
lead, with support from the event founders. The group has been meeting this month to
plan the event.
The organizers have requested closure of the 100 Block of MacGregor Avenue from
Elkhorn Avenue to Park Lane. This closure would be from January 14 through January
17, 2011.
Budget:
This event will generate revenues of $400 in park rental fees (222-5500-363.30-00) and
$20 per vender in vendor fees (222-5500-322.55-00).
Expenses will be an anticipated twenty hours in staff time.
Recommendation:
I recommend the closure of the 100 block of MacGregor Avenue January 14 through
January 17, 2011 to the Community Development/Community Services Committee, to
be included on the consent agenda at the November 9, 2010 Town Board meeting.

RE: Visitor Services Quarterly Report
1. Third -Quarter Visitor Center Traffic
The Visitor Center experienced an increase of 9.46% in foot traffic in July,
August, and September over the third quarter last year. This year, we had
179,627 visitors during our third quarter, an average of 1,952.5 people each day.
In 2009, we saw 164,098 people come through our doors, for an average of
1,783.5 people per day.
For the first three quarters of 2010, we are seeing an overall increase in visitation
of 4.38% over the same time period last year. This is due to our very strong third
quarter. (The first half of the year had shown a decrease in visitation of
approximately 4% over the first half of 2009.)
By comparison, Rocky Mountain National Park is reporting a 1.5% increase in
visitation through September, 2010 compared to the first three quarters of 2009.
October has been exceptionally busy here at the Visitor Center. At the half -month
mark, we have almost seen as many people as we saw for the entire month in
2009. This puts us on target to exceed 300,000 people in 2010, and to surpass
our busiest year ever (2009), when we had 301,839 customers.

and the alpine tundra.
Fluttering Butterflies: From the Net of Dr. Wiest. On display in the Main Gallery of the
Museum from April 22, 2011 through April 17, 2012. Few people are aware that Estes

Mountain National Park.
Art From the Vault. On display in the Historic National Park Service Headquarters
Building from August 5, 2011 through February 19, 2012. This exhibit will explore the

Capital Improvement Project: Event Garden
The Estes Park Museum added an Event Garden as its 2010 capital improvement
project. The Event Garden consists of a large level area with a boulder retaining wall,
cement sidewalk (providing access to an existing back patio behind the meeting room),
solar bollards, and a new stone patio. This area can be used for outdoor events,
programs, and openings, and is an added attraction for meeting room renters.
The Event Garden was a joint project of the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation,
Inc. and the Town of Estes Park, with additional funding by Larimer County. The Friends
donated funds; the Parks Department provided time, labor, and expertise. A Larimer
County Open Lands Grant financed the xeriscaping, and an EPURA Facade
Improvement Grant funded re -siding of the back of the building. A dedication ceremony
will take place next spring.

To: Community Development/Community Services Committee
From: Bob Joseph, Community Development Director
Date: October 28, 2010
RE: 2009 International Building Codes Adoption
Community Development staff is recommending adoption of the 2009 International
(construction) Codes with an effective date of January 01, 2011. If adopted, the 2009
Codes will replace the 2003 International Codes currently adopted. Adoption of the
2009 Codes will keep the Town current with industry standards, new technologies and
materials, recent studies, and other local jurisdictions. Staff has worked diligently to
identify significant changes and has reviewed them in depth with the stakeholders.
During the past 20 months, staff has facilitated more than 10 public meetings with
stakeholders and numerous meetings with individuals and small groups. Staff also
used the adoption process as a forum for stakeholders to identify and discuss their
concerns. The process has identified six significant topics: 1) minimizing amendments;
2) making the Board of Appeals more prominent; 3) lack of a fee schedule; 4)
requirements for automatic sprinkler systems; 5) increased design wind speed; and 6)
adoption of a Fire Code.
The first significant topic is in response to the Zucker audit and subsequent directive to
minimize the number of local amendments, Staff has accomplished this by four specific
actions. First, many administrative provisions are not recommended as amendments
but are presented in an official Policies and Procedures Manual for the Division of
Building Safety. An example of an administrative provision is the policy used to
determine when design submittals are required to be prepared by a Colorado Licensed
Architect or Engineer (attachment 1). Second, many of the housekeeping requirements
of the International Codes have also been addressed in the Policies and Procedures
Manual. Housekeeping requirements are typically "fill in the blanks," such as Table
R301.2 (1) Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria (attachment 2). Third,
requirements of other regulatory agencies that conflict with or are more restrictive than
Town building codes are also identified and addressed in the Policies and Procedures
Manual (attachment 3). The fourth measure taken to minimize amendments is utilizing
a single amendment to address a specific issue that occurs multiple times throughout
the International Codes, This is used after an amendment is first recommended to
address the specific issue in a specific text (attachment 4).
The second significant topic, raising the profile of the Board of Appeals, is also in
response to the Zucker audit and to local concerns. All of the International Codes
create a Board of Appeals. Staff is proposing amendments to the International Building
Code so as to clearly explain the Board's composition, the board's responsibilities, and
the appeals process (attachment 5). Proposed amendments to the remaining
International Codes will reference the Board of Appeals as amended in the Building
Code (attachment 6). Staff has also encouraged stakeholders to take a more active
role in the Codes' adoption process; including, but not limited to, promoting the creation
of a Construction Advisory Board.
The third significant topic is the absence of a specific fee schedule. None of the
international Codes contain a fee schedule. if it is the Trustees intention for staff to
assess fees for permits and/or other services, then a fee schedule must be established
and approved. The current fee schedule is part of the Codes by amendment and has
been since 2005 (attachment 7). Prior to 2005, the adopted codes contained a fee
schedule. The current fee schedule is based on project valuations and has been used
since 1998. As project valuations have increased, fees have also increased. For the
purpose of establishing valuations to determine fees, valuations have increased 28%
since 1998.
The fourth significant topic is the requirement for automatic sprinkler systems. The 2009
International Residential Code requires automatic sprinkler systems for every residential
use, including detached single-family homes. The proposed amendment will exempt
detached one- and two-family dwellings (attachment 8). All other new buildings
containing residential uses will require automatic sprinkler systems. The proposed
amendment will keep the Town of Estes Park consistent with most jurisdictions in
Colorado.
The fifth significant topic is the increased design wind speed. If adopted as
recommended, 140 mph (3 second gust), there will be increased costs in design and
construction of all new and remodeled buildings. The recommended minimum design
wind speed is based on a recent study (attachment 9) and has been endorsed and
adopted by most jurisdictions in Northeastern Colorado, including Larimer County
(attachment 10).
The sixth significant topic is adoption of the 2009 International Fire Code (IFC) by the
Estes Valley Fire Protection District (EVFPD). Fire Chief Dorman is recommending
adoption of the 2009 IFC with an effective date of January 01, 2011. Because the
International Codes are a family of Codes, they repeatedly reference each other
throughout their texts. The recommended amendment (attachment 11) will ensure all
references to a fire code will be consistent with the Fire Code if and when adopted by
the EVFPD. This is the same type of amendment proposed to keep the Town current
with State adopted Electrical and Plumbing Codes (attachment 12).
This narrative is a summary of the major topics if the 2009 International Codes are
amended and adopted as recommended by staff. A comprehensive list of all proposed
amendments to the 2009 International Codes is available on the Town's website

RE: Building Contractor Licensing
Report:
The Town currently licenses all contractors and subcontractors working inside the city
limits. The issuance of the license is not based on any testing or qualifications. Larimer
County recently enacted a new qualifications based contractor licensing program. This
approach is common in many Colorado jurisdictions. At this time, we are using the
Larimer County program as a template for a transition to a qualifications -based Town
license. It should be emphasized that the Town would accept testing -based, and
experienced -based, qualifications from Larimer County or any other Colorado
jurisdiction that adheres to the same locally adopted standards, so there would be no
redundant testing process. Larimer County has recently adopted an experience
qualification in lieu of testing and the proposed draft of the Town ordinance now
contains a similar provision. Staff has produced a draft revision to incorporate an
approach that would be very similar to the existing Larimer County regulation (please
see attached code revision).
Staff proposes to present this code change to the Town Board for adoption this fall
along with the update of the building code, both to become effective at the start of 2011.
This start date will simplify implementation and administration of this new process.
Budget:
The Town already collects a fee for the issuance of a Town license and this fee should
not be increased. So there would be no budget impact.

or Sign Code violations.

issued.
F. Otherwise violate this Chapter or engage in activities or conduct which, in the sound discretion
of the Chief Building Official exercised in light of the requirements of the Town of Estes Park
Building Codes or Sign Code, indicates that the Contractor lacks the basic competence to
