For many of this mountain community's residents, the answer to that query is as clear as other significant moments in history like the end of the war in Europe or the assassination of JFK. This year, that date marks the 10th anniversary of the Lawn Lake Flood which roared through Estes Park early that morning and left behind more than $30 million in damage. Coincidentally, at that point in its history, the town's business community was facing a deteriorating tourist economy and was searching for ways to help the town prosper again. When the flood hit, residents banded together to restore the town and set out to prove they deserved to be dubbed "The Gutsiest Little Town in Colorado." They've proved it. - more - News Information Office: Market Reach, P.O. Box 334, Estes Park, CO 80517 (303) 586-6186 Add One -- Estes Park Marks Ten Years of Progress Ten years later the resort business is thriving and efforts to expand the season beyond the traditional summer months are bringing results. Special events and festivals scheduled early in the season -- Romance Weekend in February and the Duck Race in May -- and those held later in the season -- Scottish-Irish Festival in September and "Catch the Glow" Christmas parade in November -- draw increasing numbers of visitors every year. The town's conference center, completed in 1991, has already brought more than five thousand conventioneers to Estes Park during periods formerly considered "slow. A significant development in the aftermath of the flood was the creation of the Urban Renewal Authority which, in cooperation with the town, other special districts and private business, has created much of Estes Park's "new look. Nearly $100 million has been reinvested in public and private projects. The downtown is restored, expanded and beautified. Retail sales in the downtown area have doubled. In the past five years alone, private developers have created locations for more than 20 new businesses. The population increase of more than 40 percent has brought with it an increase in services for residents, including expanded medical facilities, school improvements, and a new library. The most visible aspect of the "new look" is the streetscape, considered the centerpiece of Estes Park's recovery. Stretching from the east end of Elkhorn Avenue to the the western - more - , -=11 Add Two -- Estes Park Marks Ten Years of Progress edge of town and along a major portion of the river bank, the scenic walkways feature downtown mountain gardens and grassy picnic parks, aspen groves, beds of wildflowers, sculptures, Victorian lights and sidewalk benches. According to Estes Park town administrator Gary Klaphake, "The silver lining after the flood is that our streetscape is one of the best in the country. That claim is substantiated by the fact that planners from other resort communities look to Estes Park as an example of class and quality in that department. The future continues to look bright. Last month the American Honda Education Corporation cleared the final hurdle and is proceeding with plans to build an alternative secondary school north of town. A children's preschool will be completed this fall, funded jointly by the town, the school district and private donations -- representative of the way in which the town continues to pull together. A physicians' building, a new golf course, an arts complex for visual and performing arts, a community center and a new entrance to the Stanley Historic District are all under serious discussion in the community. "At the same time, we're ever mindful of the need to preserve the special nature of Estes Park," said Klaphake. "The town is celebrating its 75th anniversary, an occasion which reminds us that the incredible beauty of our natural environment is what drew visitors to this area in the first place. We fully intend to honor that heritage." - 30 - Estes Park COLORADO Gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park DATE: June 30, 1992 CONTACT: Suzy Blackhurst or Sally Anderson 303/586-6186 303/586-6186 FACT SHEET: Estes Park Progress Description of the Lawn Lake Flood July 15, 1982* Shortly before sunrise on the clear, calm morning of Thursday, July 15, 1982, a 26-ft-high, 79-year-old privately owned earthen dam at Lawn Lake, about 11,000 feet high in Rocky Mountain National Park west of Estes Park, Colorado, failed. A wall of water 25 to 30 feet high with an estimated flow rate of 8,000 cubic feet of water per second (cfs) rushed down the Roaring River into Horseshoe Park and Fall River. The surge of water caused Cascade Lake dam to fail, sending the water roaring toward downtown Estes Park. The flooding washed away bridges, destroyed roads, inundated 177 businesses (75 percent of the town's commercial activity) and 108 residences. It destroyed a hydroelectric plant, fish hatchery and caused four deaths. Due to the unique nature of this event, flooding lasted only a few hours but was of unprecedented severi ty. (The flow rate in Estes Park was estimated at 5,500 to 6,000 cfs, compared with a flow rate of 830 cfs for a 500 year flood on Fall River.) Most downtown businesses reported three to four feet of water in their establishments. The flood occurred during the time of year when this tourist community generates a major portion of its gross yearly income. The Forward Estes Park Foundation, a consortium of local business and government leaders, estimated that the town receives 47 percent of its annual income between July 15 and September 1. Total dollar losses are estimated by Federal and State recovery officials to be approximateiy $30.7 million, broken down as follows: Homes & businesses (including economic losses) $ 19,000,000 Agricultural 2,550,000 Public property (Federal, State and local) 4,130,000 Rocky Mountain National Park 5,000,000 TOTAL $ 30,680,000 * Based on reports published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), August 6, 1982, and an open file report by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Apl,~lished in April 1985.

Box 334, Estes Park, CO 80517 (303) 586-6186 Estes Park COLORADO Gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park DATE: June 30, 1992 CONTACT: Suzy Blackhurst or Sally Anderson 303/586-6186 303/586-6186 FACT SHEET: Estes Park Progress Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority (EPURA) Chronology and Background Spring 1981 John Webermeier (now deceased) identified the need for an organization of community leaders to come up with a solution to the perceived deterioration of the tourist economy resulting in the loss of dollars to other Colorado resort communities. Fourteen individuals, representing town government and businesses, were invited to participate in what was called the Forward Estes Park Foundation. A market share/economic study was initiated to determine the scope of the problem. Spring 1982 The economic study was completed and confirmed the need to take action. The Foundation, working with the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, sponsored a public forum to unveil the study and present the viewpoints of several experts in economic development of resort communities. Using national statistics, one expert gave Estes Park less than a 10 percent chance of achieving any significant approvement. As a result of the meetings, which were heavily attended and publicized, there was widespread acceptance of the need for action. The Foundation was still defining its strategy in July 1982. July 15, 1982 As the flood waters surged down Elkhorn Avenue (the main east-west street), four Foundation members -- Greg Rosener, president, Neil Rosener, Norb Aldrich (now a Town Trustee) and Richard Wood (then a Town Trustee) realized that the time for strategizing was past and swift action was required. An emergency meeting with their state advisor was held that day. July 17, 1982 The Foundation made the decision to retain a coordinator. - more - News Information Office: Market Reach, P.O. Box 334, Estes Park, CO 80517 (303) 586-6186 Add One -- EPURA Chronology July 20, 1982 After interviewing half a dozen applicants, the Foundation retained Gene Mitchell, attorney, Fort Collins developer (Old Town), and Estes Valley resident, on a six-week contract. His primary assignment was to establish a liaison among the town, state and federal agencies -- Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) -- to maximize the energy and focus needed to create a change in the economic base. For the next two weeks, Mitchell represented the Foundation at daily FEMA strategy meetings. It was learned that, in the event of an emergency, it was possible to streamline the complicated procedures usually required to establish an Urban Renewal Authority. August 1982 The Foundation drafted a resolution which was approved by the Town Trustees. The next step was to develop and obtain approval of an Urban Renewal Plan, at which point an urban renewal authority could be established as a working body. Nov. 27, 1982 The town Planning Commission heard a presentation by Frank Gray of Carl A. Worthington Partnership (CAW), Boulder. Greg Rosener and Steve Patrick, representing the Foundation, recommended that CAW, with Frank Gray as project manager, be retained to lead the planning process. Dec. 28, 1982 The Town Trustees, led by Mayor Harry Tregent and Town Administrator Dale Hill, interviewed two firms and approved the selection of CAW/Gray. January 1983 The five-month planning process began. The objective was to generate a plan for economic development irrespective of personal interests or pet projects. The Foundation built community consensus through a series of weekly meetings at the Municipal Building, two formal public meetings at the school, and a storefront office open daily in the Old Church Shops. All meetings were well organized and well attended. May 1983 The plan which emerged from the Foundation and public meetings was formally presented first to the Planning Commission and then the Town Board. The meetings were well attended and discussions were heated and resulted in the formal adoption of the plan, which included many elements now in place: Confluence Park (now called Riverside Plaza), Streetscape, and the Conference Center. Most importantly, the plan established the funding mechanism -- tax increment financing. . Add Two -- EPURA Chronology June 28, 1983 Mayor Harry B. Tregent announced the appointment of the Urban Renewal Authority commissioners: Charles H. Phares, Larry Helmich, J. Donald Pauley, Edward B. Pohl, Dale G. Hill, Anne K. Moss, Arthur L. Anderson. Trustee Richard Wood moved for approval of the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) and the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Tregent appointed Charles H. Phares as chairman. July 6, 1983 The first meeting of the Urban Renewal Authority was held, with Barbara Cole as the first director. July 20, 1983 The URA Board agreed to proceed with the remaining 13 immediate implementation action steps, dealing with organization and funding, identified in the redevelopment plan. Aug. 17, 1983 The URA Board issued a Request for Proposal for Streetscape design. Sept. 21, 1983 The URA Board contracted with Design Studios West for Streetscape. Oct. 5, 1983 The URA Board formally adopted the EPURA bylaws. Nov. 16, 1983 A representative from the Colorado Municipal League presented a report clarifying the relationship between town government and the URA, based on the experiences in other communities. Nov. 18, 1983 Three Streetscape designs were presented at a public workshop.
