There are a number of factors involved in this increase, some of which we control, some of which we don't control. First, we shifted a number of fall national magazine ads into a second or third spring issue; second, Colorado.com continues to perform exceptionally well; third we negotiated extra ad insertions with a major national magazine to compensate for mistakes made in 2008. 2. Visitors Guide Downloads - this volume is improving, having been 21% behind 2008 as of the end of April to only 14% behind 2008 as of the end of May. 3. National Media - volume of ad responses is up an incredible 73.5% for the same reasons mentioned in paragraph #1 above. 4. Internet Advertising - Google and Yahoo keyword search campaigns have cost per clicks of $0.96 and $1.25 respectively. Colorado.com click through rate is a very high 1.56% while our regional Wool Market advertising on the web sites for the Denver Post, and Channels 4&9 generated click through rates of 04% to 0.15%. The two TV web sites click through rates were double the norm. 5. Program Planning - work on 2010 programs is underway working with the LMD consultant. 6. Inserts - the Scotsfest and fall event newspaper insert is in the copywriting stage. This will run in the daily papers in Boulder, Longmont, Loveland, Greeley, Ft. Collins, and Cheyenne on August 30. 7. Other - various event posters, event radio commercials, and regional web campaigns are in various stages of production at this time.

Second Quarter Visitors Center Traffic The center experienced an increase of approximately 18.5% in traffic in April, May and June over the second quarter last year. In 2008, we saw 64,642 people come through our doors, for an average of 718 people per day. This year, we had 76,709 visitors during our second quarter, an average of 852 people each day. April saw a slight decrease in traffic over April last year, while May and June both showed significant increases over the same months last year. For the first half of 2009, we are seeing an increase of approximately 20% in visitation at the Visitors Center over the same time period last year. The most current stats available from RMNP reflect nearly a 10% increase in visitation through May in 2009, compared to the first five months in 2008. 2. Second Quarter Telephone Calls Visitor Services staff fielded 15% more telephone calls during the second quarter of 2009 over the same time period in 2008. The CVB received 6,615 calls Apr - June in 2008, an average of 73.5 calls per day, and in 2009 we fielded 7,616, for an average for 85 calls per day. PLEASE NOTE: Estimates for calls and visitors were used for the last five days in June in order to complete this report by the deadline. 3. Seasonal Staff on board The CVB has hired five seasonal staff to help us with the upcoming busy season. We hired two full-time and three part-time seasonal staff. We are quite fortunate to once again have four returning staff from previous years, and the fifth is new as a seasonal worker. All are doing a great job and we look forward to our work with them through this season. 4. Volunteer Ambassadors Currently the number of volunteer Ambassadors totals 71, with a several others in various stages of training. We are always looking for new volunteers and will continue to seek new members to add to our ranks. This is a solid number with which to begin the season, as we like to have at least 70 volunteers going into summer. 5. Volunteer Ambassadors: Second Annual Training held on May 12 in the Town Board Room. For the second year, we organized a comprehensive training session for the Ambassadors and seasonal staff to help prepare them for the upcoming, busy season. Presentations were made by Kyle Paterson, Public Information Officer with RMNP; Stan Gengler, Executive Director with the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District; Forrest McVicar, Volunteer Ambassador and RMNP volunteer (he covered National Forest Service issues) and EP town employees: Greg Filsinger, Bo Winslow, Julie Nikolai, Peggy Campbell and me covering the Free Visitor Shuttle The training lasted for three hours in the morning, and was followed in the afternoon by the Ambassadofs regular monthly meeting and luncheon, held upstairs at Town Hall. Evaluations of the 1 training were completed by approximately half of those in attendance and the general consensus was the training had been a success for the second year. All of the respondents (except one) gave the overall training the highest or second highest rating. 6. Lodging and Retail Tours Volunteer Ambassadors and CVB staff visited nearly 40 lodging properties over the course of four days in May. For the first time this year, we hired a shuttle bus to take everyone to the various properties and the bus was a huge success! We had more participation than ever on the lodging tours and based on feedback from staff and volunteers, the bus was the major reason for this increase. During the first week of June, the Ambassadors and staff participated in a retail tour, and visited 26 businesses. One day was organized as a walking tour of the properties downtown, and the second day was a driving tour. For the second year, we have organized our retail tour as we do the lodging tour, by invitation and scheduling time at the store so that they can make a brief presentation to the group about their business. We have found this to be a better way to learn about the various retail businesses in Estes Park. 7. Bond Park Cabin The Bond Park Cabin opened for visitors on Thursday, June 18. We are fortunate that the cabin is being staffed again by returning seasonal staff, Chris Baisley. It will be Chris's fourth year. The cabin hours are: Thursday - Saturday: Noon - 5P and Sundays: 11A - 4P. The cabin will remain open with the above schedule through Scotfest, Sept. 13. After Scotfest, the cabin will be open on Saturdays and Sundays into the first weekend of October, which is Elkfest weekend. After Elkfest, the cabin will close. 8. Estes Park 2009 Visitor Guide: Distribution from the Visitors Center During the first half of 2009, we have distributed approximately 20,000 Visitor Guides through the Visitors Center. This distribution includes walk-in visitors, other town departments, area businesses, and conferences attended by Julie Nikolai. â€¢ Page 2 Museum/Senior Center Services Memo To: Community Development Committee - Trustees Pinkham, Levine & Eisenlauer From: Betty Kilsdonk, Director, Museum/Senior Center Services Department CC: Jacquie Halburnt, Lowell Richardson Date: July 2,2009 Re: Estes Park Museum Monthly Report July Programs To September 6: Historic Fall River Hydroplant open Tuesday -Sunday 1 PM - 4 PM.

They are asking for a waiver of both the required improvements and the payment in lieu option. Specifically, they do not want to put in curb, gutter and sidewalk nor do they want to "pay in lieu" because ofthe cost. They area nonprofit building affordable units to allow people to live in the Estes Valley and they think the requirement will add $5,000 - $6,000 per unit. Staff is following the requirements in the Estes Valley Development Code and does not have the authority to waive the requirements. The requirements are in place so the entire valley doesn't have to bear the burden of new development. They are anxious to receive their building permit, but it is being held up pending the decision if they will build the improvements or pay in lieu. The construction drawings also need to be approved. It is also worth noting that they received an upzoning to 3 units on this parcel. Â§ 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. 2. Sidewalks. Sidewalks shall be required as follows: a. Sidewalks shall be required on one (1) side of any public or private street in all zoning districts, except in the RE-1 and RE Zoning Districts. Sidewalks may not be required where unusual topographic or environmental conditions make installation infeasible or would result in a significant adverse impact on sensitive natural resources. b. In all zoning districts, including the RE-1 and RE Zoning Districts, sidewalks on both sides of a street may be required along roads where the EVPC determines there will be significant pedestrian usage. c. In all residential zoning districts, including the RE-1 and RE Zoning Districts, when a residential lot abuts an arterial street, sidewalks shall be provided to provide public access and connection to adjacent properties. d. The minimum width of a required sidewalk shall be five (5) feet in all residential zoning districts and the A-1 Zoning District and eight (8) feet in all other nonresidential zoning districts. The location of the sidewalk on a property will be determined on a case-by-case basis to account for, among other things, unique natural features and existing sidewalk location on adjoining properties; accordingly, in some instances, the sidewalk may be located outside of an existing right-of-way. e. Sidewalks and related improvements shall be installed or constructed by the subdivider in accordance with plans and specifications approved by the Staff, and after installation or construction they shall be subject to inspection and approval by the Staff. All required improvements shall be completed in accordance with the officially established grades. f. Where a development in the Estes Valley in unincorporated Larimer County is contiguous to an area in the Town of Estes Park within which this Code or the Town requires sidewalks for the type of development proposed, design of sidewalks shall conform to the standards applicable in the Town. Februarv 7,2008 KUNDTZ ADDITION ANNEXATION FEE WAIVER REQUEST. Matthew Heiser, representing Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley, Inc., requested a waiver of fees associated with the annexation of the Kundtz Addition, approximately 2/3 acre on Riverside Drive. The property is the proposed location for future Habitat for Humanity homes. Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley, Inc. has worked for the past 12 years toprovide decent, affordable housing for residents of the Estes Valley. Mr. Heiser stated that in the past, the Town Board has recognized the community service provided by affordable housing and has offered assistance by waiving development fees for Habitat and other affordable housing developments. A public hearing related to the annexation of the Kundtz Addition has been scheduled for April 22 and, typically, the annexation fee is submitted with the annexation application. Administrator Halburnt stated that the standard for fee waivers and the criteria for qualifying entities are set by the Community Development Committee, and to date, have not addressed fees associated with annexations. She suggested the Committee not only consider Habitat's request, but also consider whether to extend fee waivers to include annexations. After discussion, the Committee recommends approval of the fee waiver for the annexation of the Kundtz Addition, and requests that staff compile further information related to fee waivers to be taken to the February 26,2008 Town Board meeting as an action item. April 22,2008 a KUNDTZ ANNEXATION AND RELATED LAND USE ITEMS: 1 ANNEXATION - RESOLUTION #08-08 & ORDINANCE #04-08. 2. MINOR SUBDIVISION PLAT - Kundtz Subdivision, Lot 1, Block 1, Ferguson Subdivision, & a Portion of the SW 1/1 of the NE % of S35- T5N-R73W of the 6th P.M., Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley, Inc./Applicant. 3. REZONING - ORDINANCE #05-08 - Lot 1, Block 1, Ferguson Subdivision, & a Portion of the SW 14 of the NE 14 of S35-T5N-R73W of the 6th P.M from A-1-Accommodations to R-1-Residential zoning Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley, Inc./Applicant. Staff Report - Planner Shirk reviewed the request being made by Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley to annex a .7 acre parcel to the Town of Estes Park and subsequently subdivide the property into three separate lots to be rezoned from A-1 Accommodations to R-1 Residential to accommodate the construction of three homes. Proposed density is 5.2 owner-occupied, attainable housing residences with deed and income restrictions. The annexation would allow for a dedicated right-of-way along Riverside Drive, the installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the roadway, and provide landscaping in accordance with Estes Valley Development Code standards. The re-zoning and subdividing of the parcel was heard by the Estes Valley Planning Commission earlier this year, and recommended for approval despite opposition from owners of neighboring properties. Staff's recommendation is to approve Habitat for Humanity's request with the conditions set forth by the Estes Valley Planning Commission. Discussion ensued on the following topics: deed restrictions last for 20 years, driveway will remain private street and owners will retain responsibility for maintenance, plowing, etc. Applicant's Statement - Matthew Heiser representing Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley, stated the three homes planned for the parcel will help to fill a need in the community for affordable housing. He spoke to the plans for the site including the placement of the three homes on the property; the dedication of the road right-of-way; installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk; architectural compatibility; limitations on parking; plans for extra storage; property values; the selection committee process; and continuing to work with owners as lender after the sale. Ed Mularz, President of Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley, stated that building affordable homes for people who work in our community will provide viability for our Town. He stated the organization woiks with Habitat for Humanity families to assure they are successful homeowners, good neighbors, and that the properties are maintained. He said he has been in communication with neighbors in the area and has invited them to participate in the planning, building, and selection processes. Public Testimony - Steven Piper, Larimer County resident, said he would support the development of two residences on the parcel, but had concerns about the higher density development stating it will adversely affect neighboring properties. He also voiced safety concerns related to the proximity of homes to the roadway. Karen Kavka, Larimer County resident, voiced her opposition to the plan due to density issues, placement of homes so close to the roadway, safety issues, and impact on area property values. Millie Steketee and Roger Steketee, Larimer County residents, urged the Trustees to visit the property to become familiar with the area and voiced concern related to the placement of the homes, the density of the development not being compatible with the neighboring properties, safety issues related to setbacks, and the need to disperse affordable housing throughout the Estes Valley. Leon Wiese, Larimer County resident, stated his opposition to the annexation requesting the parcel remain in the County with the existing zoning and setbacks. Kent Bosch, Larimer County resident and President of Charles Heights, stated that a majority of the Charles Heights property owners oppose the development because of density and safety issues, but support the objectives of Habitat and recognize the need for affordable housing. Andrea Wildman, Larimer County resident, supported the mission and purpose of Habitat for Humanity and the construction of two homes on the property as allowed by current zoning, but stated that the small lots and density of the proposed development does hot fit into the neighborhood and will cause overcrowding, and urged the Trustees to deny the annexation. Dorothy Dorman, Larimer County resident, and Louise Olson, Town of Estes Park resident, both spoke in favor of the development stating that it is in line with the Town's vision and mission statements and reiterated the need for affordable housing. Ms. Dorman spoke about her experience on Habitat's family selection committee and the need to build three homes to keep the price of the homes affordable. Mayor Pinkham closed the public hearing at 9:15 p.m. Discussion among the Trustees followed and is summarized: no variances are being requested by Habitat for Humanity; reason to build three homes is to keep prices affordable; building placement is dictated by water main running through the property; recognize and acknowledge the good work Habitat for Humanity has done; three units may be too many for this parcel; affordable housing means higher density; annex property but limit number of units; proximity of residences to the roadway; difficult site design; and Habitat for Humanity has demonstrated a willingness to work with neighbors and address their concerns.
