Mary Ann Kundtz Trust/Applicant - Continued from May 24, 1994. Mayor Dannels opened the public hearing. Community Development Director Stamey reviewed the proposal to adjust the internal lot line between two existing lots; no additional building sites are i being proposed; and the adjustment will allow improved building sites. The Attorney' s Certificate has been received, pins set, and all Planning Commission conditions met. There being no additional testimony, Mayor Dannels declared the public h4aring closed. stating that the integrity of the subdivision will not be affected by this proposal, it was moved and seconded (Dekker/Gillette) the Amended Plat of Lots 8 and 9, Arapaho Meadows be approved, and it passed unanimously.

Mayor Dannels reported the Trustees will meet at a 12:00 Noon study session prior to the meeting. 2. Rockv Mountain National Park Wilderness Act Of 1994 - Discussion of Proposed "Wilderness Bill." Ass't. Administrator Widmer reported that Congressman Allard requested input from the Town Board concerning said Bill and wilderness designation for RMNP. Staff analyzed the Bill and provided a memorandum listing "pros" and "cons". There remains many serious unanswered questions which must be clarified before the Board is able to take a stance. Staff added that in a telecon with Steve Smith of Congressman David Skaggs Office (the Bill sponsor), Mr. Smith requested this item be continued to a future date to enable their presentation. Public testimony was heard from Ann Vickery speaking as a home owner on High Drive and representative from the Colorado Mountain Club: both support the proposed legislation, the Park belongs to everyone, the water rights language will not infringe on any private rights/property, all existing roads have been excluded, RMNP has requested the proposed legislation, and the Bill Will not increase current restrictions. Lou Canaiy--75% of those touring RMNP view the Park from the windshield of an automobile, RMNP is not interested in hosting masses of the population, and he was concerned that the Mayor was not invited to attend preliminary discussions on this issue--the relationship between both agencies has faltered. Lou Cherbeneau--has been a wilderness advocate since the '60's and supports the proposed Bill. Trustee comments: request representatives from the RMNP, Skaggs' Office, and Allard's Office to attend a Town Board meeting, concern with "over use", opportunity to attain "middle ground", buffer zones and potential effect on private property, and potential impact to the Hondius Water System. Staff reviewed a map of the wilderness designation boundary, and Town Attorney White commented on certain language contained in the proposed Bill relating to water rights which, in his opinion, is inappropriate and serves no purpose. It was moved and seconded (Doylen/Dekker) this item be continued to the July 12, 1994 meeting, requesting representatives from the RMNP, and Wayne Allard's and David Skaggs' Offices to attend, and it passed unanimously. 3. Park Entrance Estates Annexation - Review of Surveying Proposals. Following the Board's approval of the Memorandum of Understanding for the eventual annexation of Park Entrance Estates, staff received proposals for the surveying, monumentation and drafting of the Park Entrance Estates Annexation Map: Estes Park Surveyors ............. $3,000 Rocky Mountain Consultants ................. 9,920 Van Horn Engineering ....................... No Bid The low bidder, Estes Park Surveyors, has performed many projects for the Town and all work has been completed in a very satisfactory manner. It was moved and seconded (Doylen/Gillette) the bid submitted by Estes Park Surveyors in the amount of $3,000 be accepted, and it passed unanimously. 4. Crown and Thistle. Inc.. dba Matinee Cafe. Ltd.. 206 E. Elkhorn Ave. - New Beer and Wine Liquor License Application. Mayor Dannels opened the public hearing and Town Attorney White reviewed the application and procedure. Margaret Van Dyke, President/Crown and Thistle, Inc., stated that the Board of Trustees - June 14, 1994 - Page 3 business was previously operated as the Riverwalk Deli and that the liquor license is being requested as an enhancement for their customers. Clerk O'Connor confirmed that a petition bearing 19 signatures in favor of granting the license had been received. Attorney White noted that the triangular piece Of public property immediately to the west Of this establishment was leased to Lee Kemper (building owner) to compensate same for right-of-way for the Riverwalk Project. The 5-year lease allows outdoor seating; however, as it is public property, any and all liquor service is not allowed. The Applicant confirmed that they were aware of this stipulation for this particular site. There being no further ~ testimony, Mayor Dannels closed the public hearing. Finding I that the reasonable requirements of the neighborhood are not met by the present liquor outlets in the neighborhood and that the desires of the adult inhabitants are for the granting of ~ this liquor license, it was moved and seconded (Gillette/Dekker) the Beer and Wine Liquor License for the I Crown and Thistle, Inc., dba the Matinee Cafe, Ltd. be granted, and it passed unanimously. 5. Town Administrator's Report - Proiects. Ass't. Administrator I Widmer briefed the Trustees on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. The Act was extended to all state and local governments in January, 1992. A three-year time frame ! was given in which to bring all public (does not include water I plant facilities and the like) Town facilities into ! compliance. Ass 't. Administrator Widmer was appointed to 1 -~ serve as the Town's ADA Coordinator and a Transition Plan for I compliance was completed in August, 1992. Meetings were held with staff members Linnane, Allman, Stamey, Sievers and Widmer plus three representatives from the disabled community (Lori ~ Mitchell, Lois Muehlbauer, and Wendy Knudson). Typical improvements include handicapped parking spaces, ramps, signage, adjustment of door closures, thresholds, railings, and access to drinking fountains and picnic tables. Paved ~ accesses will be installed at the Museum and Fairgrounds. Costly improvements include restroom facilities at the Fairgrounds; the Senior Center may also include costly . improvements. The first phase was accomplished for $12,700 in ~ 1993, and staff anticipates an expenditure. of $13,000 in 1994. A budget for 1995 has yet to be determined. State and local governments are experiencing limited resources; therefore, with a "good faith approach" toward compliance by January, 1995, the Federal Government should not cite the Town. Citizens have contacted the Town with various ADA suggestions, and staff encouraged continued input from the community. The : Board commended staff, particularly Bill Linnane and Greg Sievers for their participation on this project. A member of the news media questioned hiring practices for the ~ disabled, particularly as it relates to such a person's access to Town facilities that are not required to meet ADA requirements. Staff confirmed that the Town does not discriminate against the disabled and would perform reasonable accommodation for that employee (eg: install a ramp at a water plant facility). Mayor Dannels noted that the regularly-scheduled Town Board meeting Tuesday, June 28, 1994 has been canceled, and reiterated that the Board will conduct a special meeting on Monday, June 20. There being no further business, Mayor Dannels adjourned the meeting at 8:41 P.M. .................. Mayor ................ Town Clerk Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, colorado, .

Donald Pauley Mayor Dannels called the special meeting to order at 1:02 P.M. Mayor Dannels reported that this special meeting was called because the second regular meeting in June had been canceled. Public Hearing - Final Plat. Lot 3. Stanley Historic District. FHK Co. Partnership/Applicant (continued from June 14. 1994). Mayor Dannels opened the public hearing. Director Stamey reported that this site is included in the Stanley Historic District Master Plan and Development Agreement, the proposal has evolved from 50 multi- family units to 20 single-family lots, sites have been arranged to minimize earth movement, a note has been placed on the plat limiting each lot to one single-family dwelling, proposed private access and cul-de-sac have been approved by the Fire Chief, and legal status of the horse trail and the single-family residence requirement has been noted on the plat. Approval of this plat is for this site only and is non-precedent setting. A gate may be installed at the entrance of the private cul-de-sac, built to Town standards and access made readily available to utility companies and public safety/medical vehicles. The Technical Review Committee and the Architectural Review Committee will review all development and landscaping on each lot as it occurs. Director Stamey added that at the Planning Commission meeting Karen Zipser, President of the Stanley Hills Homeowners' Association, expressed appreciation to the staff for the final proposal. Two compromises were identified as follows and considered reasonable modifications to the Stanley Historic District Plan: 1. Open space: The Master Plan states that 30% open space is required exclusive of lotted area. This subdivision proposal provides for 30% open space, however, it is included within the lots, and protected with an open space conservation easement. This easement prohibits disturbance, fences, patios, etc. Property markers to delineate the setback and open space areas will be designed by members of the Technical and Architectural Review Committees and installed by the applicant. The current horse trail will be relocated along the east side of the subdivision, and it will be expanded to include a pedestrian access easement. 2. Cul-de-sac: The Municipal Code provides that no more than 12 residences may be served by a cul-de-sac; however, Board of Trustees - June 20, 1994 - Page 2 reconfiguration and negotiations will allow 20 residences. The neighborhood supports this design as opposed to connecting the street to Steamer Drive, at the northeast corner of the development. Bill Van Horn, Applicant's Representative, reported that property corners are staked but not monumented, and an open space area will be outlined to establish construction limits. As there were no comments from the audience, Mayor Dannels closed the public hearing. Stating that the compromises reached for the development of the Stanley Views Subdivision demonstrate positive results for all parties involved, it was moved and seconded (Dekker, Doylen) the Final Plat of Stanley Views Subdivision be approved, contingent upon the following, and it passed unanimously: 1. Improvement Guarantee submitted by July 5, 1994. 2. Final homeowners' association documents submitted by July 5, 1994. 3. Plat recorded only after the above-mentioned documents are received and approved. Trustee Doylen commended the applicant for considering the sensitivity concerns of the neighborhood. There being no further business, Mayor Dannels adjourned the meeting at 1:17 P.M. Mayor Deputy Town Clerk BRADFOROPUFLISHING.0 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Safety Committee June 16, 1994 Committee: Chairman Gillette, Trustees Dekker and Marshall Attending: All Also Attending: Police Chief Racine, Fire Chief Rumley, 1st Ass't. Fire Chief Ford, Clerk O'Connor Absent: Administrator Klaphake Chairman Gillette called the meeting to order at 8:00 A.M. POLICE DEPARTMENT. Petition to Alter Road Signs - Portion of Country Club Manor Addition. The Committee reviewed a petition bearing 54 signatures requesting the existing "Yield" Signs for east and west-bound traffic at the following locations be converted to "Stop" Signs: at High Street and Birch Ave., High Street and Columbine Ave., Driftwood Ave., and Elm Ave. Petitioners cited near fatal and frequent accidents as the basis for their submittal. Chief Racine commented that in the late '70's when the Yield Signs were installed, the intent was to monitor the area for potential conversion to Stop Signs. If approved, the Department will begin vigorous enforcement. Following discussion, the Committee recommends approval of the request to convert the Yield Signs to Stop Signs for all those locations identified above. FIRE DEPARTMENT. Hazardous Material (haz-mat) - Continued from April 21, 1994. 1st Ass't. Fire Chief Ford submitted the following minimum required haz-mat equipment/training list: 4 - Fully Encapsulated Level A Suits w/ Pass-Through Device 0 $900/ea. ....... .. $ 3,600 4 - One-Hour Air Packs @ $2,600/ea. ......... 10,400 4 - Communication Upgrades @ $1,100/ea. ..... 4,400 1 - Manifold System for Pass Through Device w/Hose @ $4,800/ea. ............. 4,800 4 - Level B Suits @ $200/ea. ................ 800 1 - Test Kit for Level A Suit @ $500/ea. .... 500 8 Sets - Nomex Coveralls @ $125/ea. 1,000 1 - Wind Sock 0 $100/ea. 100 Haz-Mat Training Budget for NFPA 472, NFPA 1001, OSHA 1910.120 for 1995-1996 0 $10,000/yr. 10.000 $35,600* Chief Rumley commented that training for Levels 1 and 2 can be accomplished in-house; however, for Levels 3 and 4, firemen will be traveling to the east or west coast. Approximately 3 or 4 firemen should obtain the Level 3 or 4 training at approximately $2,500/man. In addition, training must be scheduled on an annual basis to gain protection from the liability involved. Questioned why the haz-mat training is necessary when assistance could arrive in 40-50 minutes, Chief Rumley responded that the training is mandated by the National Fire Protection Association and OSHA, the potential assistance from Loveland/Ft. Collins could be unavailable if the crew is elsewhere, and substantial funds would still have to be set I.A.FOROPUBLISHING.0. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Safety Committee - June 16, 1994 - Page 2 aside to reimburse out-of-town assistance. Expressing their appreciation to Fire Department Representatives for their presentation, the Committee took no further action as funding review will take place during upcoming 1995 Budget discussions. Cooperative Agreement with Rocky Mountain National Park for _ a Fire Facility. This Agreement provides for the construction and maintenance of a new fire facility to be constructed on RMNP land with $30,000 in funding being provided by the Volunteer Fire Department. The Agreement was originally submitted to the Committee in January 20, 1994. Following amendment, Chief Rumley reported that the Agreement is being submitted for approval. Town Attorney White has reviewed the Agreement, and the Fire Department has unanimously voted in favor of its approval. RMNP Representatives Steve Iobst and Rick Schumann identified the project and presented drawings. The original plan called for the fire station to be attached to a storage facility. RMNP is now considering a free-standing 42x42 sq. ft. facility which would be shared with the Alpine Hot Shot Firefighters. Two large crew transport vehicles would be stored in the facility, and the plan includes restroom facilities, fire sprinkler system, heat system and exterior access. RMNP is currently negotiating with a contractor for construction of the fire station which is to be completed in the Government's fiscal year 1994. The Committee commended the efforts of Chief Rumley and Mr. Iobst on this project stating that with limited resources, the possibility of public/private partnerships will be increased. The Committee recommends approval of the Cooperative Agreement as presented. REPORTS. Concerning the alleyway behind The Happy Texan/Park Place Mall Building, Chief Racine reported that written notice has been issued to all affected merchants advising of the posting of the "No Unattended Vehicles" sign. Enforcement includes a 30- day warning period. Lieutenant Filsinger presented a display of Blood and Air- Borne Pathogen Equipment intended to maintain officer survival mandated by CIRSA and the Professional Police Association. Odds of contracting Hepatitis B, the HIV virus, and Tuberculosis are increasing and where a victim is bleeding, prevention of communicable and infectious diseases is paramount. The equipment ranges from puncture-proof gloves, bio-hazard trash containers, fluid resistant gowns, long stem tubes for syringes, germicidal cleaner, and first aid supplies. Although all squad cars carry certain equipment, one of the new police vehicles will be thoroughly stocked and used as the "supervisor car." Current guidelines also include a quarantine whenever a spill or leakage occurs, and the squad car has been so quarantined four times. The majority of the Department has received Hepatitis B vaccinations. Fire Chief Rumley added that the Fire Department also received these vaccinations and that their standard policy with assisting victims is that gloves must be worn. Estimated cost of equipment/year is $1,500. Lt. Filsinger BRADFORIPUBLISHING.0 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Safety Committee - June 16, 1994 - Page 3 presented copies of the new guidelines which have been added to the Police Manual. The Committee commended Lt. Filsinger for the informative report, commenting on the value of protecting Police Officers. There being no further business, Chairman Gillette adjourned the meeting at 8:51 A.M. REaioÂ· @4*4 Vickie O'Connor, CMC, Town Clerk BRADFORD PUBLISHING co. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Planning Commission June 21, 1994 Commission: Chairman Al Sager, Commissioners Mark Brown, Harriet Burgess, Gary Cooper, Alma Hix, Edward Pohl and David Thomas Attending: All Also Attending: Trustee/Liaison Dekker, Community Development Director Stamey, Clerk O'Connor Absent: None Chairman Sager called the meeting to order at 9:30 A.M. and noted that he previously announced that the Commission would meet at 9:30 A.M. during June, July, and August. The minutes reflected the inclusion of September and Chairman Sager confirmed this action. 1. MINUTES. Minutes were approved as submitted. 2. DEVELOPMENT PLANS. 2.A. Development Plan #94-5. Lot 1. Block 1. Lone Pine Acres Addition. Steve & Susan Swickard/Applicant (Continued from May 17. 1994). The Applicant is proposing a 5,683 sq. ft. retail sales building with associated parking. The building will have 1,600 sq. of basement storage, 4,200 sq. ft. of retail on three levels, 533 sq. ft. of garage, and 950 sq. ft. of enclosed parking. The application was continued due to an incomplete submittal, particularly relating to an easement for the parking and shared driveway. Applicant's representative Paul Kochevar reported that the following revisions had been made: 1. A Grant of Easement for the parking and shared driveway. 2. Two (2) handicapped parking spaces have been located next to the handicapped access ramp. 3. The ramp has been relocated and does not encroach into the 25' front yard setback. The easement meets requirements of the Development Plan and has been reviewed and approved by Town Attorney White. Commissioner Brown reported on his conversation with the Applicant where he pointed out the reasoning for and conditions of the easement. In the new submittal, Commissioner Brown questioned whether language for a potential alteration and/or abandonment of the easement should be added to ensure the vested interest of the Town is maintained and whether such alteration or abandonment language should be approved by the Town Board. Representative Kochevar cited a preference to include the aforementioned on the Development Plan. Commissioner Cooper questioned the Applicant's request for a 30-day notification time-frame concerning the maintenance and/or repair of the drainage system. Mr. Kochevar stated that: (1) the Applicant does not want the retail business closed should he be unable to correct the detention pond and release structure within staf f' s time-frame of seven days; and (2) unavailability of a contractor due to BRADFORD MILISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Planning Commission - June 21, 1994 - Page 2 the summer season. Staff clarified standard corrective procedure which would begin with notice to the owner--the Town would not close the business. In addition, Mr. Kochevar stated that staff was seeking a special requirement relating to drainage maintenance and such had not been requested in the past for other plans. Public Works Director Linnane addressed the issue stating that the majority of projects do not threaten adjoining property owners with increased storm discharge from the inundation of the detention structure. In an emergency situation, the Town would assist the owner in this regard. Further clarification found that the owner must perform maintenance of the facility within seven days of any notification by the Town. With regard to the proposed shared parking, the Applicant acknowledged that any future development on Lot 2 must "stand on its own." Representative Kochevar clarified site calculations. Community Development Director Stamey reviewed the staff report, confirming that the three revisions noted above had been added to the Plan. There were no comments from the audience. It was moved and seconded (Brown/A. Hix) Development Plan #94- 5, Lot 1, Block 1, Lone Pine Acres Addition be approved contingent upon the following, and it passed unanimously: 1. A note stating "The pond and release structure must be maintained in original condition by the owner. Maintenance of the facility must be performed within seven (7) days of any notification by the Town" be added to the Plan. 2. Verify the water line size with the Public Works Department which is to be completed in the Building Permit stage. 3. A note be added to the Plan stating that any abandonment or alteration of the parking and access easement would require Town Board approval. Additionally, a provision be included in the easement stating that any open space or parking shall not be credited to the subservient tenant on Lot 2 if developed in the future. Commissioner Brown clarified his motion with the following findings: as the Town cannot bind a subservient tenant, language should be added to the easement, and that the seven day time-frame for correction of the detention facilities does not place an onerous requirement on the Applicant due to the potential hazard and existing conditions. As the Applicant Rich Wille, nor his representative were present for Agenda Item #2.B. Development Plan #94-6, the Commission proceeded with Agenda Item #3 - Subdivisions. 3. SUBDIVISIONS. 3.A. Preliminary Plat of Lot 31. Bonnie Brae Addition. Crystal Creek Development. Inc. /Applicant. Paul Kochevar, Applicant' s representative, reported that the Applicant is proposing to subdivide the site into eight single-family lots, each consisting of 18,0001 sq. ft. Access to each lot would be from two private driveways--there will not be direct access eRADFOROPUILISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Planning Commission - June 21, 1994 - Page 3 from Community Drive. The Applicant has reviewed all staff recommendations and he has no objection to them. With reference to the "layout" which could be improved to achieve larger groupings of open space, the Applicant has no objection to identifying smaller building envelopes and Mr. Kochevar further identified how such an improvement could be obtained. However, the Applicant does not desire attached zero lot line buildings. Chairman Sager cited the difficulty in determining the building placements on the site, and Mr. Kochevar stated the corners will be set prior to the Final Plat. Community Development Director Stamey reviewed the staff report, confirming that access would not be gained from Community Drive. Director Stamey read a letter submitted by Susan 0' Connor, adjacent property owner, who expressed concern with setbacks. Staff noted that the revision to the layout should resolve this concern. As there were no comments from the audience, it was moved and seconded (Brown/Burgess) the Preliminary Plat of Lot 31, Bonnie Brae Addition be approved with the following conditions, and it passed unanimously: 1. Staff comments concerning utilities, drainage and streets be addressed during the Final Plat. 2. Approval is as presented by the Applicant's representative concerning the understanding and agreement with the layout amendment to utilize smaller, staggered building envelopes. The Commission continued with Agenda Item #2.B. 2.B. Development Plan #94-6. Phase II. North Ridae Meadow Condominiums. East Park Subdivision. Rich Wille/Applicant. Neither the Applicant not his representative were present and staff attempted to locate Applicant' s representative Van Horn. Community Development Director Stamey reviewed the proposal: Phase I consisted of 19 units, and Phase II consists of 28 units in seven 4-plexes, for a total of 47 units. The street and utilities have been installed. Staff noted the following unresolved issues: (1) Phase I abuts multi-family zoning and Phase II abuts E-Estate--improvements must be indicated on the plat; (2) a subdivision proposal to divide this site into two lots was reviewed by the Planning Commission, however, it was never finalized by the Board of Trustees--the Applicant needs to confirm their subdivision intent; and (3) the development phase includes a period up to May 31, 1998. This is beyond the three years allowed for vested rights--the Applicant must determine whether he will stay with the 3-year period, or request Town Board approval for the additional one year time extension. Staff confirmed that neighborhood reaction during construction of the first phase was evident; however, no other communication has been received. Public comment was heard from Ron Harvey who stated that work completed thus far on the south end has been adequate and exterior planting has been installed on the west end--the appearance is very favorable. Mr. Harvey also noted his concern with the outlot and grading which, in his opinion, has BRADFOROPUILISHING.0 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Planning Commission - June 21, 1994 - Page 4 virtually eliminated a utility easement--additional plantings will most likely take place in this existing easement. Due to the unresolved issues and lack of attendance by any representatives, it was moved and seconded (Pohl/Thomas) Development Plan #94-6, Phase II, North Ridge Meadow Condominiums be continued to July 19, 1994. Commissioner Brown questioned the appropriateness of the continuation suggesting an Improvement Guarantee be required for plantings. The motion passed by the following votes: Those voting "Yes" Commissioners Burgess, Cooper, A. Hix, Pohl, Sager and Thomas. Those voting "No" Commissioner Brown. 4. REPORTS. Director Stamey reported that the first Comprehensive Plan Workshop will be held on Thursday, June 23, 1994 from 8:00 A.M. - 9:30 A.M. in Room 203. Following conclusion of all agenda items, Ron Harvey commented on existing drainage problems in Lone Pine Acres which are increasing with development. The west side of the street needs to be addressed by the Town. Chairman Sager referred Mr. Harvey to the Public Works Department. There being no further business, Chairman Sager adjourned the meeting at 10:15 A.M. 10 VO Ap' O &*LUL,J Vickie O'Connor, CMC, Town Clerk DR 8439 (3/86 - DRL 439) STATE OF COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE Denver Cojoraao 80261 ~ 1375 Sherman Street .LIQUOR ENFORCEMENT DIVISION (303) 866-3741 APPLICATION FOR A SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT â€¢ APPLICATION MUST FIRST BE SUBMITTED TO THE LOCAL LICENSING AUTHORITY (CITY ORCOUNTY) AT LEAST THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. 0 APPROVED APPLICATION MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE LIQUOR ENFORCEMENT DIVISION AT LEAST TEN (10) DAYS PRIOR TO LIQUOR PERMIT ACCT.

Cooperative Agreement with Rocky Mountain National Park for a Fire Facility. This Agreement provides for the construction and maintenance of a new fire facility to be constructed on RMNP land with $30,000 in funding being provided by the Volunteer Fire Department. The Agreement was originally submitted to the Committee in January 20, 1994. Following amendment, Chief Rumley reported that the Agreement is being submitted for approval. Town Attorney White has reviewed the Agreement, and the Fire Department has unanimously voted in favor of its approval. RMNP Representatives Steve Iobst and Rick Schumann identified the project and presented drawings. The original plan called for the fire station to be attached to a storage facility. RMNP is now considering a free-standing 42x42 sq. ft. facility which would be shared with the Alpine Hot Shot Firefighters. Two large crew transport vehicles would be stored in the facility, and the plan includes restroom facilities, fire sprinkler system, heat system and exterior access. RMNP is currently negotiating with a contractor for construction of the fire station which is to be completed in the Government's fiscal year 1994. The Committee commended the efforts of Chief Rumley and Mr. Iobst on this project stating that with limited resources, the possibility of public/private partnerships will be increased. The Committee recommends approval of the Cooperative Agreement as presented.

Part of the loan requirements is to issue a letter of credit to the town of Estes Park for an amount of approximately $217,000.00 to assure the Town that the improvements will be completed as designed. Many people have been working hard on this project but are unable to supply information to Bill Van Horn, Brooks Findley or Myself on a timely basis. The information we are waiting for to complete Mr. Findley's file so we may complete the loan are the final bids for improvement construction costs and a final review appraisal. Once we receive this information we should have the loan closed in two business days. We are hopeful that the Town will extend the deadline for approximately 10 additional days to allow us time to wait for the above information and to close our loan with Mr. Findley. Should you have any questions regarding this matter please contact me. lincerely-CBPh , -Ropert L.

Ass't. Administrator Widmer reported that Congressman Allard requested input from the Town Board concerning said Bill and wilderness designation for RMNP. Staff analyzed the Bill and Li.-* R:5 provided a memorandum listing "pros" and "cons". There remains many serious unanswered questions which must be clarified before the Board is able to take a stance. Staff added that in a telecon with Steve Smith of Congressman David Skaggs Office (the Bill sponsor), Mr. Smith requested this item be continued to a future date to enable their i presentation. Public testimony was heard from Ann Vickery speaking as a home owner on High Drive and representative from the Colorado Mountain Club: both support the proposed legislation, the I Park belongs to everyone, the water rights language will not I infringe on any private rights/property, all existing roads have been excluded, RMNP has requested the proposed ! legislation, and the Bill Will not increase current restrictions. Lou Canaty--75% of those touring RMNP view the ' Park from the windshield of an automobile, RMNP is not interested in hosting masses of the population, and he was concerned that the Mayor was not invited to attend preliminary discussions on this issue--the relationship between both agencies has faltered. Lou Cherbeneau--has been a wilderness advocate since the '60's and supports the proposed Bill. Trustee comments: request representatives from the RMNP, Skaggs' Office, and Allard's Office to attend a Town Board : meeting, concern with "over use", opportunity to attain "middle ground", buffer zones and potential effect on private property, and potential impact to the Hondius Water System. Staff reviewed a map of the wilderness designation boundary, and Town Attorney White commented on certain language contained in the proposed Bill relating to water rights which, in his opinion, is inappropriate and serves no purpose. It was moved and seconded (Doylen/Dekker) this item be continued to the July 12, 1994 meeting, requesting representatives from the RMNP, and Wayne Allard's and David Skaggs' Offices to attend, and it passed unanimously. 3. rk Entrance Estates Annexation - Review of Survevi Pr sals.

This memo is intended to collect our thoughts on the subject and establish a position on the Wilderness Bill. PROS . Protect RMNP from future inappropriate uses. Simplify administration of these areas for the Park Service. Reflect reality, since the Park has been managed as a wilderness area since 1974. P. O. Box 1200 Telephone (.303) 586-3331 Town of Estes Park Estes Park, Colorado 80517 Wilderness Bill -2- May 27, 1994 CONS Â· May be unnecessary legislation -- what does this legislation provide that designation as a national park does not already include? Why can't the Park continue to be managed as it has been the last 20 years? Â· The proposed legislation overlays existing federal reserved water rights with an additional reserved water right for wilderness purposes with a priority date as of the date of enactment of the proposed legislation. This is unnecessary and costly to taxpayers, as future litigation will be necessary with regard to the meaning of this provision. Congressman Skaggs' office has indicated the purpose of this language is to establish a precedent for downstream wilderness areas. â€¢ Creation of the wilderness designation indicates a desire to decrease the use of the Park, which may, in turn, have an adverse economic impact on the Town. Even though the Wilderness Bill appears on the surface to be "Motherhood andÂ· Apple Pie", there remain many serious unanswered questions: 1. Why now? Why is it not sponsored by our Congressman? 2. What is the impact on water rights? 3. What are the future impacts of the designation in terms of Park use and adjacent property? RECOMMENDATION The Wilderness Bill may be in our best interest but before we rush off to support or not support the Bill, we need more discussion and clarification on present and future inputs. The Town Board does not support the ' Wilderness Bill for RMNP at this time. F:\M\SKAGGS\SKAGGS.039 H.L.C.

These negotiations were set aside because of the then upcoming election and have, not been reactivated. Since that time serious interest in the land has developed for for residential use. We have informally priced the land to these interests at a significantly higher price than we were negotiating with the Town and we now have two separate offers on the land. As I am sure you are aware, residential land values are increasing daily. There are now buyers waiting for the finalization of Stanley Views to buy at $7 per Sq. Ft.. Development costs are running approximately $1 per Sq. Ft. I personally would not like to have a row of condominiums perched along the rim of the Knoll. We are willing to accept the offered price which is now much less than market price to avoid what I believe to be a project that the public will not like. We are in the position of having to respond. If there is still an interest on the part of the Town, I would like to get something in writing and we will ~cline~the current offers. Sincerely, Bill Van Horn STANLEY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, LTD.

Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear Gary, Thank you for your letter regarding the possibility of the Town purchasing the Knoll Property. We understand the Town's position and have labored extensively over our own position to try to come back with something that will work for us as well. We would offer the property to the Town for $975,000.00 and would take the property off the market pending the November election provided we could get 10% interest on the purchase price until the date of closing. I am sorry that I was not prompter in getting this letter back to you but we had several things to review to be able to respond. We sincerely hope that the Town can buy the property and the above offer represents a significant contribution on our part. Again, thank you for yallr interest.

Estes Park, CO 80517 812 8th Street CONFIDENTiA' (303) 586-9388 Greeley, CO 80631 (303) 352-5860 December 17, 1993 Mr. Gary Klaphake, Town Adminstrator Town of Estes Park P.O. Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear GarY, In response to your telephone call verifying the interest of the Town in acquiring the Knoll property, we have done some work to establish a value of the property and also a price that we could accept. I am enclosing the information we have used in arriving at our offer. Both the Marion and Foster evaluations were done for others and we had no input to influence the values. The Mitchell letter was done at our request. It is fairly simple back into a value on commercial property based on what income can be produced. This is explained in the last part of the Mitchell report and shows a value of $3.35 per sq. ft.. It is interesting to note that this is basically the same value that was established ten years ago when United Bank lent their money on the property. We would be willing to sell the property for $2.75 per sq. ft. which we feel is substantially below market value. The total cost would be $1,112,848.00. Each party would pay usual closing costs and there would be no sales commissions. If I can supply further i~ormation or answer any questions please call. Sincerely, 23Â« 7-1
