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. Memo MOIt" "rr1)�l(1 11 ll��liil�rii11»111��11i���� To: Community Development/Community Services Committee From: Teri Salerno, Visitor Services Manager Date: October 28, 2010 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.

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.

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 www.estes.org/ComDev ATTACHMENT 1 TOWN OF ESTES PARK DIVISION OF BUILDING SAFETY COLORADO LICENSED DESIGN PROFESSIONALS (ENGINEERS, SURVEYORS & ARCHITECTS) CRS Title 12 Article 25 Construction documents (including but not limited to plans, calculations and specifications) submitted for a building permit shall be prepared and sealed by Colorado Licensed Design Professionals when a construction project includes ANY of the following: 1.

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.
