Information was gathered for the Plan through community questionnaires, interviews with Park users and go*ernment agencies, and public open houses. Paul Kuna, Gun Club representative, expressed concern that the Gun Club would be eliminated. Police Chief Repola stressed the need for continued access to the Gun Club not only for recreational use but for officer training. Gengler noted that the Gun Club is not included in the Plan because it is not considered a high priority. The District will, however, work with the Gun Club to assure continued access throughout redevelopment. Administrator Klaphake added that a new building will be required in the future because of Code restrictions, and discussing the future needs of the Gun Club now will allow a smooth transition during the redevelopment process. James Durward, LP Scottish Highland Festival, commended the Recreation District for the proposed redevelopment; however, he expressed concern regarding the interior fencing surrounding the ball fields and the shortage of bathrooms. Gengler explained that the additional fencing will be on the outside wing areas and will be installed with removable sections and gates to allow easy access to the entire area. Bathrooms will be constructed near the shelter in addition to the current bathrooms located near the baseball field. Utility problems and maintenance issues restrict the number of bathrooms that can be constructed. The Committee recommends approval of the EVRPD Master Plan for Stanley Park, with the following conditions: 1. The Gun Club will be relocated prior to destruction of the present building. 2. Dr. Durward's concerns regarding fencing and bathroom facilities be considered. 3. The Plan remain flexible to consider other concerns that may arise. Gengler reported that funds are currently available to construct the parking lot in the southeast corner of the Park. The Committee recommends that construction of the southeast parking lot proceed as requested by Director Gengler. ANNUAL SLURRY SEAL PROJECT - REOUEST APPROVAL TO PROCEED Manager Sievers explained that the 1997 budget contains $200,000 for the annual Street Improvement Project; $47,000 has been allocated for the rock removal on Hwy. 34 at Castle Mountain Rd. The requested Slurry Seal provides added traction, ultraviolet protection, water proofing and minor rut filling at about one-third the cost of an overlay. Quality Resurfacing Co. of Commerce City has provided the Town with material and service for three years. A list of 20 streets proposed to receive the Slurry Seal was presented, totaling 50,000 square yards. The Committee recommends approval of a contract to Quality Resurfacing Co. for $50,000 to place Slurry Seal on the proposed streets. This work will proceed in mid-June. BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee - April 24, 1997 - Page 2 RETROFIT DUMP TRUCK FRONT END - REQUEST RETROACTIVE APPROVAL Administrator Klaphake explained the front end retrofit required Board approval, but due to time constraints, Klaphake authorized this work, totaling $12,319. Manager Sievers explained this is a 1986 truck, which was more cost effective to fix rather than replace. The Committee recommends approval of the International Harvester dump truck front end retrofit, totaling $12,319.

Chairman Doylen called the regular meeting to order at 9:15 a.m. LAKE ESTES TRAIL PHASE 1 CHANGE ORDER The Committee recommends approval of the change order for Phase 1 of the Lake Estes Trail in the amount of $31,583.70 for placement of additional fill material and rip rap and installation of a road base to insure the integrity of the Trail.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development Committee May 1, 1997 Committee: Chairman Doylen, Trustees Barker and Marshall Attending: All Also Attending: Trustees Baudek, G. Hix and Pauley, Administrator Klaphake, Directors Hinze, Kilsdonk and Stamey, Advertising Manager Marsh, Conference Center Director Pickering, Secretary Botic Absent: None Chairman Doylen called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. STANLEY PARK Proposal to privatize all Stanley Park operations including an arena. Glenn Truitt (local businessman) stated he is representing an investor who previously considered utilizing the Lazy B and they are interested in working with the Town to upgrade Stanley Park with a 53,000 sq. ft. arena, four horse barns with 260 extra stalls. The investor will make $5,000,000 available with a rate of 8%; this opportunity has a time limit of 25 days. Mr. Truitt has been working with this proposal and realizes it will not be profitable for 4-5 years. He is expecting to add additional shows and groups in the shoulder periods. The AKC group has expressed interest, the Olympic Equestrian Committee has not responded yet. Other ideas for usage would be: dances (1-2 times/week in the winter), a special event after the Christmas parade, Arabian Shows, Bull Riders Only from Texas. Mr. Truitt is confident that with an upgraded facility, business will flourish and he reviewed his background which has included work as a facility manager in the United States, Scotland, Mexico and in aviation maintenance. Mr. Truitt is confident contracts will increase with upgrading of the site and people will be willing to pay more money. He emphasized the 8% money with 7% backing. Chairman Doylen explained that all other Trustees and organization members were invited to attend this meeting. To date a rendering of the proposed facility has been presented, there have been brief conversations with Town Attorney White, and five pages of confidential information have been presented to the Trustees; she noted the difficulty in addressing conceptional deficiencies. Discussion continued with Trustees asking questions and Mr. Truitt responding. The arena would be placed between Barns U and V on the south end of the site and a bridge would be utilized for access to the second level. Town Administrator Klaphake stated privatization would be very good for the Town and Stanley Park and referred to a 1989 study that stated most arenas are subsidized and he questioned the revenue projections. Mr. Truitt stated that the increase of two horse shows and stall prices were a part of the conservative revenue HADFORDPUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development Committee - May 1, 1997 Page 2 projections and explained the investor has bonds which will be held by the brokerage house and interest on the $5,000,000 will not need to be repaid for 5-10 years and he did not consider a balloon payment to be a problem that the Town should concern itself with. He believes repayment will be his problem, he has known the investor for 6 months and his projections utilize current stall fees. Chairman Doylen referred to the BRW Study and the projected improvements and the significant increase in costs for improvements that have been completed. She expressed concern for the balloon payment and questioned whether Mr. Truitt has spoken with people of existing events and he responded that some of the people he has spoken with are willing to pay more. At request Mr. Truitt stated the investor was Verdell Coppel of Longmont, and that they would supply a letter of credit from the investment firm and would post bond for this construction project. He reviewed a 'worst case scenario' and noted the lease would be held by the brokerage firm which would dictate a contract. After initial upgrading, he stated maintenance would be minimal. As Mr. Stamey, Community Development Director, has not seen any plans he was unable to comment on Code concerns with the arena. Mr. Truitt stated 'Dome' companies could contact interested board members, he personally knows the architect and ventilation would meet requirements. Heat requirements will be minimal; only radiant heat will be required above the bleacher area. Mr. Klaphake stated arenas he is familiar with (Penrose and Longmont, CO and Cheyenne and Gillette, WY) are all subsidized and he has concerns with a 50 year commitment, and stated the negotiation of a lease would need to be structured with careful detail. Mr. Truitt stated the risk will be to the mortgage firm, the investor's family is familiar with rodeos and a contract with the Olympic Committee will be a positive factor. Chairman Doylen expressed concern with continuity of a facility manager and varying information given by Mr. Truitt regarding his future plans and philosophy. Trustee Barker questioned how money will be repaid and expressed concern for the accruing monthly interest. In response to Chairman Doylen's concerns with the ERA Study and lack of funds for advertising, Mr. Truitt stated studies are not realistic and utilities will be the only requested subsidy. Mr. Klaphake acknowledged the presence of former Mayor Dannels in the audience and reviewed the history of choosing a location for the new Fire Department and expressed concern whether the Town would have sole control during the 50 year agreement. Trustee Baudek stated his interest in the proposal and requested written responses from potential customers. Mr. Truitt stated he has not spoken to representatives from the Scottish Festival' or Wool Market. Chairman Doylen stated the lack of submitted resumes, references, reports, letters from people Mr. Truitt has mentioned makes a reasonable, rational decision difficult and expressed concern for the usage of the proposed facility by local people and identified potential problems with removal of the dirt for various events. Mr. Truitt responded that the scheduling group would have to incur a $20,000 fee for dirt removal. Mr. Klaphake expressed concern with the proposed arena architecture and stated he is interested in working with IRADFOR'PUSLISHING.0. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development Cammittee - May 1, 1997 Page 3 the investor to only privatize the arena. Mr. Truitt will follow-up with the investor and will try to obtain published figures on horse shows. Audience comments: Paul Holgorsen, Stage Western owner, favors an indoor arena although doesn't recommend the privatization of all of Stanley Park and noted revenue is produced through money spent in the community by attendees. Greg Burke, Craftsman Leather owner, favors the proposal. Mary Truitt (wife of Glenn Truitt) stated she initially brought the investor to her husband, speaking of their knowledge and success and questioned the lack of support by the Town. Chairman Doylen responded questions have arisen due to no support data, no financial framework, lack of verifiable data and future commitments and letters of support, revenues not addressing repayment to the investor, maintenance costs, advertising etc. Mr. Klaphake stated there was initial excitement for building an arena and many items must be considered (deed restriction, mortgage, long term lease, etc). Mrs. Truitt thanked the Board for their time and interest and stated this may not be the right place for their investor and they may need to withdraw their proposal. In response to Trustee Pauley's question, Mrs. Truitt responded there is a non-subsidized arena in Cheyenne (Laramie County Community College) which is successful. Trustee Marshall reiterated the Town's interest in an arena and requested a meeting with the investor; Mr. Truitt stated he is not ready to arrange a meeting as they want control of the entire area and are probably not interested and he is not willing to recommend proceeding to the investor. Mr. Klaphake stated Stanley Park does receive compliments, there is a need for an indoor arena and rain is a factor and recommended the Town Board act like a bank board in reviewing this proposal and see if the investor is interested on working on an arena with guaranteed usage days. Chairman Doylen reviewed the time frame of information the Town Board has received noting they have only seen 7 pages of paperwork which was originally based on the Lazy B and the Town does not have the luxury of being a venture capitalist, emphasizing the Board's responsibility is for 8,000 - 10,000 people. Trustee Barker stated there is a need for this type of facility and there is skepticism due to lack of information. Mr. Truitt stated he was not aware of the length of this process and stated he would withdraw the offer. Trustee Hix stated he is interested in an indoor arena and would like to have seen a proposal with completed information, noting the Trustees are stewards of the property and must have proposals in writing. Mr. Truitt stated he would be able to submit letters from some potential horse shows/trainers. He will speak with the investor about the arena and respond to the Town next week. Mr. Klaphake stated the Town is willing to recommend working with the investor on the arena and guaranteed usage days. Mr. Truitt stated he doesn't believe the investor will be interested in anything other than a concrete dome arena. The BRADFOROPUSLISHINGCO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development Committee - May 1. 1997 Page 4 Cammittee recammends investigation of the possibility of only an arena with some subsidy and requested additional support data and requested the concerns of the Town be expressed to the investor.

Additionally, she requested amending the Application to allow the proposed addition to be approximately 3 9 wider than shown, and extending NW to the proposed wall line. (Mr. Bauer was in attendance, however, did not speak.) Director Stamey identified the following statement in the Variance Application form: "It is understood that only those points specifically mentioned are affected by action taken on this appeal"; a change in the request necessitates a new Application and Board of Adjustment meeting. In response to Chairman Pauley's question, Mrs. Bauer stated they were the owners in 1996 when the surrounding area was rezoned. Member Sager viewed the site prior to this meeting and in doing so spoke with Mrs. Bauer, however, no suggestions were requested/given. He also noted that if the zoning hadn't been changed in 1996, this variance would be unnecessary. Discussion continued regarding appropriate wording to allow inclusion of Mrs. Bauer's amended verbal request. Audience comments were heard from: Helen Culpepper (neighbor to the northwest) who favors the request and stated approval will not compromise her view. Albert Murphey and his wife were in attendance (neighbors to the south) and they favor the request. Director Stamey reviewed the staff report recommending approval of the submitted written request, based upon the following conditions: 1. This addition would have been conforming prior to the change in zoning. 2. The Applicant has identified several physical site constraints involving slope, mature trees, drainage patterns and rock formations. 3. The Applicant has also identified a potential egress problem with an existing basement window and some other practical difficulties relating to the existing noor plan. 4. The Applicant has identified a need for an accessible bathroom, which if unmet would create a hardship. Member Barker clarified the rezoning was due to a neighborhood dispute regarding BandB's, Planning Commission recommended denial and Town Board approved the request. It was moved and seconded (Newsom/Baudek) that considering the testimony, and Staff Report, that the variance, as amended, be approved for Lot 2, Mirabeli Subdivision, subject to the following conditions, and it passed unanimously. â€¢ The amended request as discussed to be submitted in writing to include scale and dimensions by 5:00 p.in. on May 6, 1997 to the Community Development Office. â€¢ Amended request to be approved by Staff. ~RADFORD PUBLISHING CO.

Gengler noted that the Gun Club is not included in the Plan because it is not considered a high priority. The District will, however, work with the Gun Club to assure continued access throughout redevelopment. Administrator Klaphake added that a new building will be required in the future because of Code restrictions, and discussing the future needs of the Gun Club now will allow a smooth transition during the redevelopment process. James Durward, LP Scottish Highland Festival, commended the Recreati6n District for the proposed redevelopment; however, he expressed concern regarding the interior fencing surrounding the ball fields and the shortage of bathrooms. Gengler explained that the additional fencing will be on the outside wing areas and will be installed with removable sections and gates to allow easy access to the entire area. Bathrooms will be constructed near the shelter in addition to the current bathrooms located near the baseball field. Utility problems and maintenance issues restrict the number of bathrooms that can be constructed. The Committee recommends approval of the EVRPD Master Plan for Stanley Park, with the following conditions: 1. The Gun Club will be relocated prior to destruction of the present building. 2. Dr. Durward's concerns regarding fencing and bathroom facilities be considered. 3. The Plan remain flexible to consider other concerns that may arise. Gengler reported that funds are currently available to construct the parking lot in the southeast corner of the Park. The Committee recommends that construction of the southeast parking lot proceed as requested by Director Gengler. ESTES VALLEY RECREATION and PARK DISTAICT Post Office Box 1379 Â· Estes Park, Colorado 80517 690 Big Thompson Avenue Â· [970} 586-8191 Â· FAX 586-8193 April 8,1997 Gary Klaphake Town o f Estes Park P.O. Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear Gary: We would like to update the Stanley Park file and initiate a request for an improvement to Stanley Park. Under item #2 0 f the Stanley Park Lease Agreement, the District is required to obtain approval from the Town Board of all uses of the Park. Under item #5 ofthe same agreement, the District is required to install and maintain all streets, roads, or parking areas as needed for the facilities. Our initial request is to include the Stanley Park Master Plan in the Town's file of Stanley Park. The vision document was developed and prepared by two landscape architects - Ross Stephen and Becky Hammond. The plan is a culmination ofpublic meetings, selected interviews with community leaders and user groups, and a community opinion survey. The plan creates a vision Al<Al of improvements as the District upgrades the recreational facilities and uses o f Stanley Park. Jl The second request is to o~ the Town to install a parking lot in the southeast r ec section o f Stanley Park. The parkinFE is to provide additional parking for the recreational uses 4 *. of that portion of the park, and the lot also serves as a hard surface area for in-line skating and O skateboard activities. With the recent surge o f interest in in-line skating and skateboarding, there is a need to provide hard surfaced areas for these activities. These activities are being conducted in the parking lot adjacent to the tennis courts which has created a parking and user conflict with tennis players. Page 2 I have attached a copy o f the Stanley Park Master Plan and the parking lot design developed by Estes Park Surveyors. It is my understanding these items will need to go through the Public Works Committee prior to the Town Board. Please place these items on the appropriate agenda for us to seek permission for these items. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, .

Ths intent of the Maeter Flan ie to review the overall character of the Stanley Fark area and examine ths paet, current and future approaches to developmental nesde. Through data gathering proc89989 and analyele, design solutions can 176 ascertained and re- corded. During the planning procese the public can De involved and the regulte of their input studied to aeesse the Dget poesible design solutions to meet community gxpecta- tions and deeiree. 1 21 EXISTING CONDITIONS Stanley Fark ie located to the south of Highway 36, which eervee ae the entry corridor to the Valley. The property lise adjacent to the Fieh Creek Arm of Lake Eetee, bounded by Community Drive to the weet, Manford Avenue to the south, and Park School District property on tile east.

If you put a reetroom on the north Bids of the park a lift station will De necteeary. The Scottish Feetival caueee ixteneive damaes to the playing fielde. Would like to 588 family etructurge made more vandal-proof by ueing building and furniturs materiale other than wood, euch ae metal or stons. There le currently vandallem to the park In thi winter. 24 If a new pond le to De created anywhere in the park, electrical power nesde to be provided in order to keep in aerated. Avoid high Dani<e on pond. If 110hte are added to the ball fislde, they would have to De inetalled in a ditch. Tennie courts are In need of reeurfacing. Slip Bheet courte could be ueed to prevent surface movement. Equipment in playground area ie outdated and nesde to De Improved. Playground area nesde to De landecaped. If exteneive grasey areae were to De put in, a new irrigation system would need to Ds Installed and water purchased. Traffic condeetion problems within the park need to be addreseed. There are already plane to add irrieation around the Youth Center. The tennie court lights are on timere, but they ars not reest often enough to reflect ths day lendth. Tennie court lightin0 neede to 176 replaced with more modern typs. Recreation Staff -- Recreation District: Problems, leeuge & Opportunities: There le a demand for an in-line hock6y facility. Would rigid to De 50' x 100'. A ekateboard facility, poeeibly with a "half-pipe" would De a good idea. Question whether a bubble over tennie courte could etand the winde in Estes Fark. A batting cage would De feagible. Thsrs le a rised for a little league/junior bageball eize field in the Fark. 25 An Indoor facility for asrobic and dance claesse and fitneae training ie needed. The recreation and youth center concEpt nesde to De etudied if thie ie to a long-term plan. Area between large picnic eheltere and baeketball courte neede improvement. Ball field #3 would lend iteelf to tiered egatine built with retainine walle into the alde hill. There le a poselble need for hieher capacity stands on fields #1 and #2. Small picnic ehtltere need to De refurbiehed or removed. Add baeketball court, perhaps half-court, next to Youth Center. City Administrator: Specific Frobleme, leeuge & Opportunities: There ie a need to better dietinguish Detween the fairerounde area and Stantsy Fark In a clear and agethetic manner with eignage and entry featuree. Parking for Highland Feetival neede to De addrgeeed Would like to try to det all of the Scottish Feetival activitlee onto the weet elds of Community Drive. Ferhape the arga at the northweet corner of Highway 36 and Community Drive could De developed into a large all-purpoes "evente" eite. Northwget corner of Stanley Fark eits receivee large amounte of run-off drainage from the fairerounde which nesde to be accommodated in all future plane for that area. Fieh Creek Arm could 178 ueed for mors active recr6ational uese euch ae a fishing dock and paddle 17Oate. Could a fourth ball fidd be added7 le it time to phase out the Gun Club or find an alternate eite for it7 Small gatihouete in 5tanley Park could be moved to Fairerounde side with other gatehouage. 20 Town Planning Office: Froblems, 1951.189 & Opportunities: Exieting local trail eyeterne should De connected into a trail system throuqh and around the FarE Trail croseinge of Highway 36, Community Drive and Mansford Drivee need to De etudied carefully. The exieting 2" inch water ling into the Park ie leaking and muet De replaced in tile near future It le at maximum capacity currently. If any further ixpaneion of water ues 15 anticipated for the park new water Bourage muet De explored. The nearest ling ie a 6" ling along Maneford that ie owned by the Bchool Dietrict. Location of an underpase or ovirpage croeeing on Hi0hway 36 to connect the park trail eyetern to the Lake Eetee Trail muet 176 etudied. If parking argae ard paved, it ie advieable to drain runoff towards Fieh Creek Arm. Would IiI<g to ege Fark remain informal, ruetic rather than taking on an urban park fed. It would De advieable to add a atop eign at the intereection of Maneford & Community Drive. Chief of Police: leeute & Opportunitiee: Nggd to create "ielande of light" within and throughout the Fark to snhance safety. Flaydround area nesde to etay vieible from parking area, not ecresned with too much vegetation. Superintendent of Schools: Froblgme, leguee & Opportunitise: Youth Cinter should not De moved cloger to High School 50 that it appears to 27 Delon@ to the high echool rather than to a broad aes range of young people. The hleh achool 19 about to update the Bcorgboard in the stadium, aftsr which baeeball will not De allowed In that epace. This could put more preeeure on the park ball fields. Need to add more egating for goftball and baseball. (recommende that we look at theesating at Lyong Hieh School ae good example). The pedestrian croeeing acroee from the echool on Maneford ie danderous ae it 19 currently designed. School District le willing to talk to Recreation District about sharing their 6" water ling to accommodate updating irrigation eyetem and expanding reet room facilitiee in the Fark. School district le willine to dlecuee a right-of-way gaegment across their land to expand the pedestrian/Dike trail eyetem to the eoutheaet of the park. School District Aquatice Director: Opportunitige: Fark could provide Diking trail hub with colorful eignags mapping the entire trail eyetem. Establish a community "1-luci< Finn Day" fatival centered around activitise at Figh Creek Arm. Traneform the area into a "mini-marina." Crgate a demonetration projectilluetrating alternative energy eouroge of wind and Burl within tile Park. Create a eledding hill. High School Baseball Coach: Frobleme, leeute & Opportunities: Add lights to bassball field 90 that two ledion teame can be accommodated. 28 Improve drainaes near home plate on field #3. Reorient baeeball field. Cover and improve dudout areas. Add more spectator egating. 5811 advertising eidne to bs placed along outfisld fencee -- would provide an additional income gource, ae well ae makin0 the arga look "more IiI<e a ballpark." Storage facilities ars needed cloge to fields for eporte squipment. Need to add a warning track to increaes player eafety. Add Datting cagge. Extend field of play fences to greater distance. Build a bubble over soms of the tennie courts and ues it for baseball practice arga during inclement wgathsr.

Build eunken dueoute at the ball fielde that would not obetruct spectator viewe. Build a picnic ehelter that would accommodate larger groups of peopls. Tennie Association: Froblgrne, 1591.185 & Opportunities: Have 100 members and are growing at about 10% a year. They collect duse from membere and have Borne funde that thgy would 176 willind to contribute to Improvement of tennie facilitige at Stanley Fark. There are enough courte for current ugg levele. It would be deeirable to have two courts covered 50 that thsy can De ueed all year. Ths Aeeociation will provide in- formation from the reetarch they have dorie on differsnt types of encloeurs eye teme for the courte. Would like to have a mesting epace in the Kec. Dietrict office or glegwhere where they can havs meetinge of ae many ae 50 people and put a display caes to houge local trophige. There 19 a need for a etorage ehed near the courte in which to keep eq.uipm6nt for keeping the courte clean. Would like to ess some eort of an indoor picnic facility with a kitchen. Ths tinnie piayere don't currently uee the conceesion area rrluch Decaued there ie no comfortable eeating nearby. Need drinking fountain near the courte. Court night lighting nesde to 176 updated and put on a timer eyetsm that relatee to the changing daylight hours. 30 , Skateboardere ard ueing the courts and ruining the eurface. 50 thers ie a need to provide them an alternative, more appealing eits. Wind ecreening ie needed. There are Association members who would Ds willing to volunteer to help with court maintenance. Thinks many tennie playere would enjoy having corrie more formal eodded areas near the courts. Spectator Beating nesde to De on githsr eide of courte, not juet at one Bide. Would like to 588 backboard facility movid. Could it De ueed at the end of the half-court baeketball court to provide barrier for stray balle ae well ag backboard epace7 A hard-eurface path ie needed from the south parking area to tile courte. Organized tennie activities could De ueed to enhance connection between Eette Fark High School and Eagle Rock studente.

CONCLUSION Through the application of a eyetematic deeign process that included analyeia of ths exietine natural and manmade reeourcea of the Stanlgy Fark elte, a thorough public and epecial interest group input proqram, analysis of desien precedents from other eimilar and euccegeful eitee along the Front Range, getablishment of a program element mix that rseponded to the deairee of tile greatest number of people within the space and budget conetrainte of the project, presentation of alternative conceptual plane for review by the Recreation District Board and the public, the deeign team hae created a Final Maeter Plan to provide a map for future redevelopment of Btanley Park. Now prioritite muet be ect for the implementation of theee ideas. Of greateet immedi- ate need le the lighting of the ball figlde eo that the exiating facilitige can be ueed to their maximum effectiventes by community members. Makine the ball fields safer for spectatore through thE addition of fencing and reeradine Field #1 are also high priorities. Throughout the implementation phaes of all other clemente of the Master Flan, trgee and plant>er bede ehould be added to the greatest degree poggible. The next priority le providing trail linkage to the Lai<g Eetes Trail and delingating an effi- clent and eafe central parking area to the eouth of the ball fields ae well ae reeponding to 'tile neede of Eette Fark'e young population who deeperately desire a place for ekate- boarding and in-line ekating. As money and Intereet allow moving the existing storade facility, double tennie court and baeketball courte to the south perimeter of the site, and providine a central larde grasey area with shade tress would make Btanley Fark feel more IiI<6 an inviting commu- nity park. Froviding attractive entry eignage and landecaped ielands throughout the Park at that time would be of similar priority. A more long-rangs plan would include creating a concteeion/year-round reetroom/ etor- age facility to the eouth of the Dallfielde and building a greatly needed recreation center with indoor baekstball courts and exercise rooms. Creating an amphitheater and a large covered facility for art and craft ehowe and community dancie would also De part of the long-range plan. Providing euch eits amenitite ae a thematic entry archway to the ball fislde, cohesive, high quality liehting along all of the traile, and providing gculp- turge for the pedeetrian nodes would complete the project. 69 4. . 6 f. 1 1 4 1 Stanley Fark hae wonderful opportunitige to become one of the Deet regional/community parke in the Front Kailde area dus to its epectacular natural eettine, involved and ac- tlve community members, and talented staff within the Recreation Dietrict office to make thie dream become a reality. 70 â€¢â€¢Ao,ORopueLISMINGCO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee April 24, 1997 Committee: Chairman Doylen, Trustees Barker and Hix Attending: All Also Attending: Town Administrator Klaphake, Water Superintendent Goehring, Facilities Manager Sievers, Deputy Clerk Kuehl Absent: None Chairman Doylen called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. ANNUAL SLURRY SEAL PROJECT - REOUEST APPROVAL TO PROCEED ~ ~ ~ Â· Manager Sievers explained that the 1997 budget contairfs $200,000 for the annual Street Improvement Project; $47,000 has been allocated for the rock removal on Hwy. 34 at Castle Mountain Rd.

Service Extension: Five Year Contract (p. 29) (Old "Plan C") Increase minimum to $500. The Light and Power Department recommends approval of the attached Policy and Procedure Manual and recommends that the manual be adopted by reference during the Municipal Code revision process. REM 2-1 I. LIGHT AND POWER Service Available Unless stated otherwise in the rules and regulations pertaining to specific electric rate schedules, electric service supplied will be sixty-cycle alternating current as follows: Single Phase 3-wire, 120-240 volts 3-wire, 120-208 volts Three Phase 4-wire delta 120-240 volts 4-wire wye 120/208 volts 4-wire wye 277/480 volts The Department reserves the right to specify the phase and nominal voltage at which service U'ill be supplied and to serve at different voltages where distribution is made at other nominal voltages. (Prior code Â§7.3-2; Ord. 366 Â§1(part), 1969) Disconnect/Reconnect Charee In the event of disconnection by the Town for any cause, and after evidence is submitted tha. A: cause for disconnection has been corrected, electric service may not be restored until payment of a combined disconnection and reconnection fee of thirty dollars ($30.00), unless said reconnectien shall be requested and performed durillg non-business hours of the Department, in which event the combined disconnection and. reconnection fee shall be sixty dollars ($60.00). The non- business hours of the Department are defined as between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., Monday through Friday, weekends and any federal holiday or holiday observed by the Town. (Prior code Â§7.3-4; Ord. 366 Â§1(part), 1969; Ord. 18-80 Â§1, 1980; Ord. 13-83 Â§1, 1983) Service Contract (a) Application. (1) The original service connection at any location under any schedule of rates shall be preceded by a signed application for service at the office of the Department on forms provided by the Department which include the adoption of these rules and regulations and which, when approved by the Department, shall constitute a contract between the customer and the Department under which the customer agrees to pay the Department for service rendered in accordance with the applicable rate schedule, including any special rules and regulations appertaining thereto. The resulting contract may not be assigned without the approval of the Department. A separate application will be required for service under each applicable rate schedule. (2) The Town will not connect an applicant for service or a contractor representing the applicant until the signed contract and any applicable charges or deposits have been received. (3) Where a customer desires service at more than one (1) point of delivery, excepting where loads cannot otherwise be satisfactorily supplied by the Department, separate applications shall be made for each point of delivery. Meter readings under the same rates shall not be combined for billing purposes. However, unpaid services at more than one (1) location, regardless of type of service, may be transferred to any of the customer's accounts for purposes of billing and collection. (4) No promise, agreement or representation of any employee of the Department shall ')e binding upon the Department, unless the same shall have been incorporated in the application and contract for service. (a) Selection of rates. The Department will, if desired, assist the prospective customer in selecting the rate for service best suited for his or her requirements. The customer shall be responsible for the rate schedule selected or under which service has been used, and his or her use of service and payment therefor shall be in accordance with the provisions thereof. If a customer desires to change the rate under which electric service is rendered, a new application for service shall be made. (Prior code Â§7.3-5; Ord. 366 Â§1(part), 1969; Ord. 383 Â§1(part); Ord. 6-70 01, 1970; Ord. 27-79 Â§1, 1979; Ord. 18-80 Â§2, 1980; Ord. 13-83 Â§2, 1983) Metering and Billing (a) Metering of Service (1) With the exception of service to adjoining properties owned and controlled by die customer as a single commercial or business enterprise, service to the same customer at different locations will necessitate separate applications for metering and billing. Where electric service is furnished under more than one (1) rate schedule to a customer at one (1) location, such service shall be delivered at the same point of delivery. (2) Service will be supplied and metered at the secondary voltages listed under "Service Available," unless provided otherwise in the rules and regulations pertaining to individual rate schedules. (3) Meters shall be located outdoors on all new installations or where changes are made. Meters shall be of the socket type, using sockets furnished by the Department, or located in enclosures approved by the Department. (a) Accuracy of meters. All meters measuring electric service will be checked for accuracy before installation and periodically thereafter. Meters will be considered accurate which measure within two percent (2%) plus or minus true reading at full load and within two percent (2 %) plus or three percent (3 %) minus at ten percent (10%) full load. No meter shall be kept in service which registers under no-load conditions. 2 (b) Billing period. (1) Meter reading will be accomplished as nearly as practicable on a thirty-day or monthly basis and bills for service will normally be rendered fifteen (15) days after meters are read. Bills are due twenty GO) days following the bill date and are considered delinquent thi-My (30) days following the due date. Accounts with delinquent bills are subject to discontinuance of service under the Town's Discontinuance Policy. If the Department is unable for any reason to gain access to read any meter, the consumption shall be estimated based upon past usage. (2) Having in mind the seasonal nature of use by some customers, principally residential, the Town reserves the right to render monthly bills during periods of the year on a minimum basis only and all billing for energy consunied during such periods may be accumulated. The Town may at any time prorate the accumulated consumption equally to the months covered by such period and bill for such consumption if in excess of the monthly minimum of the schedule. (3) Customers served under residential service rates (with the exception of seasonal customers) who have twelve (12) or more consecutive months of billing history on the Town's electric system and who have no notice o f discontinuance presently pending may elect, at their option, to apply for a budget billing plan beginning with any billing month. Any customer electing the budget billing plan will pay a monthly amount equal to one-tenth (910) of the total of his or her most recent twelve (12) months' bills. The levelized monthly payment shall be made for eleven (11) successive months with the twelfth month's payment being a settlement amount equal to the difference between the total of the prior eleven (11) months' payment and the actual billings for the twelve-month period. If the settlement amount is a credit balance, the Town will issue a check to the customer in the amount of the credit balance, or the customer may elect to have the credit applied to future billings. If the settlement amount is a debit balance owed by the customer, the total balance will be due and payable on the due date shown on the bill for the settlement month. (4) Eligible customers may elect the budget billing plan at any time during a calendar year. After each twelve-month budget billing period, customers may elect to revert back to normal billing or to continue the budget billing plan for another twelve (12) months. (5) If a customer electing the budget billing plan fails to pay the budget billing obligation in any month, normal collection procedures shall be applicable for the outstanding budget billing amount; provided, however, that the customer need only pay the outstanding budget billing amount to become current and avoid termination. Upon termination of service of a customer on the budget billing plan, the customer is subj ect to removal from the plan and the entire outstanding amount of the account for actual usage shall be due and payable. 3 (6) The monthly budget billing amount will be adjusted for changes in the Town's base rates, but will not be adjusted for retail surcharge amounts authorized under Rate Tariff, Sheet No. 20. Diversion of Electric Energy The installation of a check meter by the Department and registration on this meter at a greater rate than on the regular meter, after both meters have been tested and found accurate, shall be considered direct evidence of such diversion of electricity. Town's Facilities (a) Voltage regulations. The Department shall be diligent in providing electric service with reasonable voltage variations where the customer's appliances and equipment do not result in large load variations such as may be produced by starting motors, X-rays, welders, etc. (b) Ownership of transformers. (1) Generally the Department will install, own and maintain all transformers required to deliver service at the Department's standard secondary voltages. Where SecOIidary service is metered on the primary side of the Department' s distribution transformers, two percent (2 %) of the bill for service shall be deducted, and if the customer shall take service at the primary voltage and own the transformers and substation converting to the secondary voltage, an additional two percent (2 %) shall be deducted. (2) Under schedules of rates for primary service and where secondary service is delivered or metered at secondary voltage, correction factors shall be applied as provided under applicable rates. (c) Service loops. Except in unusual cases, only one (1) service loop shall be connected to a single premises or property. If more than one (1) service loop is installed, it shall be connected to the same general delivery point to facilitate disconnection of the property in the event of fire or other emergency. Where practicable, all service loops shall be installed from Department's secondary distribution at the rear of any lot or premises. If the property of the customer does not abut on the right-of-way of the Department's distribution system, it shall be the customer's responsibility to provide adequate easements or bring his or her wiring to a point designated by the Department, without service drop trespass upon other property. (d) Attachment to poles. Attachments to the Department' s poles or lighting standards will not be permitted except upon specific written authority of the Department. The attachment of radio or TV antennae is specifically prohibited. Attachments of communications circuits such as telephone or community antennae systems may be made, provided that a joint use contract has been entered into between the Department and those desiring to make such attachments. (e) Tree trimming. The customer shall permit the Department to trim the limbs and tops of trees to the extent that such trimming shall be reasonably necessary to avoid interference with the Department's lines on the customer's property. The customer shall be responsible 4 for such trimming of trees as may be necessary to avoid interference with the Department's service wires running from the Department's distribution poles to the point of delivery on the customer's premises. Customer's Use and Facilities (a) Customer's installation. (1) Before acquiring motors or other electric energy-consuming devices or providing for the installation and electric wiring for same, the customer or prospective customer of electric service shall notify the Department in ample time of its intent to ascertain if such motors or devices may be connected to the Department's system under the Department's rules and regulations governing electrical installations and if the Department has electrical service of the desired phase, voltage and capacity available therefor or whether extensions and improvements of the Department's system will be required, and for the establishment of points of delivery for service and meter locations. (2) Electric service will be delivered to the customer at one (1) point of delivery for each location, such point of delivery to be designated by the Department. Only authonzed employees of the Department shall be permitted to make and energize the connection between the Department's service wire and the customer' s service entrance conductors. (3) The costs incurred by the Department through any changes in point of delivery and, f-1. in the location of the Department' s meters necessitated by changes on the customer' s premises shall be subject to reimbursement to the Department by the customer. (4) All energy-consuming equipment of the customer and all wiring therefor on the customer's side of the point of delivery will be furnished, installed, owned and mintained at all times by the customer in conformity with applicable electric codes and in conformity with the Town's rules and regulations pertaining to electrical installations, inspection, licensing, permits and regulations, and also to the rules and regulations of the Electrical Inspector. (5) Where service is supplied at primary voltages, the customer shall provide, own, operate and maintain all facilities beyond the point of delivery at the end of the primary service unless specific arrangements are made to the contrary. (6) If the customer desires electric service at voltages, either primary or secondary, other than those available from the Department's distribution system, the customer shall furnish, own and maintain all special transformers and special control and wiring occasioned thereby. If special metering shall be required in such cases, the costs thereof shall likewise be pid by the customer. Such.metering equipment, however, shall be and remin the property of the Department and will be tested and maintained by the Department. (7) Where the customer has connected equipment, the operation of which is detrimental to service to other customers served by the Department and where the customer desires 5 to continue the operation of such equipment after steps are taken, as approved by the Department, to install motor generators, isolation transformers or transformer and/or line capacity beyond that nonnally required in order to eliminate the detrimental effect upon other customers and where such remedial measures involve expense on the part of the Department, all such costs shall be reimbursed by the customer. Where the customer's demands are measured in such cases, the Department may determine the billing demands on shorter intervals than fifteen (15) minutes regardless of regular provisions in individual rates pertaining to the detennination of billing demands. (8) At the request of the Department, the customer will furnish and mintain indoor o underground space and facilities for the installation of the Department's transformers and other equipment necessary to properly render electric service to the customer. (b) Load balance. Where secondary electric service is used, the customer shall connect his or her equipment to balance his or her electric loads as follows: (1) With single-phase three-wire, the current carried by the neutral shall be not more t!.art fifteen percent (15 %) of the current in either of the other wires. (2) With three-phase four-wire wye or three-wire delta, the load in any phase shall be not greater than fifteen percent (15 %) more than the load in either of the other two (2) phases. (3) With combination four-wire delta, the single-phase loads and the three-phase loads shall each be balanced as provided above. (c) Power factor. Customer shall at all times maintain a power factor as near unity as practicable and never lower than ninety-five percent (95 %) lagging. Luminous electric discharge tubes or other loads having inherent low power factor shall at all times be provided with effective power factor correction equipment such that the power factor resultant from such energy use will not be less than ninety-five percent (95 %). Where such power factor correction equipment is used, the customer shall install disconnecting or controlling equipment as needed to prevent excessive voltage variations on the Department's systeni. (d) Demand; motor limits. (1) Single-phase, fractional horsepower motors may be used on residential or business service. However, motors served at a nominal voltage of one hundred twenty (120) shall not have locked rotor starting current in excess of twenty GO) amperes. Single-phase, fractional horsepower motors having locked rotor currents in excess of the foregoing limits at one hundred twenty (120) volts must be operated from circuits having a nominal voltage of two hundred forty (240). 6 (2) By special authorization of the Department, single-phase motors of greater than fractional horsepower may be operated on service to residential and business customers depending upon motor and load characteristics, including starting frequency, and capability of the Department's electric system serving the load. Approval of the Department must be obtained before installation of any such motors, and such approval will be valid only for specific locations. (3) Single-phase two-hundred-forty-volt motors up to a maximum rating of five (5) horsepower may be operated under the small commercial service rate. As a proteclion to service and equipment, the installation of single-phase motors of five (5) horsepower shall have the approval of the Department and shall have such characteristics, or be equipped with a starter of such design, that the instantaneous current will be limited to three hundred percent (300%) of normal full-load current. (4) Upon Department approval for specific locations, three-phase motors up to two hundred (200) horsepower may be supplied under the large commercial service, rate provided that such motors have been manufactured in accordance with NEMA Standards, and further provided that suitable protection equipment and devices have been installed. Under some conditions, the Department may require the installation of reduced-voltage starting equipment. Such equipment may be required where, in the opinion of the Department, the starting frequency adversely affects service being rendered other customers. (e) Welders; X-rays. (1) Subject to the approval of the Department, use of single-phase induction type weldera will be permitted at specific locations under the residential and business service IT.te schedules on secondary service, provided that adequate transformer and distribution capacity is available. Welders with an input exceeding forty (40) amperes at a nominal two hundred forty (240) volts or twenty GO) amperes at a nominal one hundred twenty (120) volts will not be approved for use under these secondary schedules. Welders exceeding the foregoing current limitations may be served under the small commercial service rate, upon approval by the Department. (2) If the customer' s load is of an intermittent or fluctuating character or refiects frequent starting with high current inrush, the Department may consider the billing demand under demand type rates as the maximum amount of power used at any time or may add to the measured demand of the steady load up to fifty percent (50%) of the maximum fluctuating load or may determine the extra demand from either the nameplate data of the equipment or by the kva of extra transformer capacity necessary to supply the fluctuating loads. (f) Water heaters. Water heaters shall be of a two-element storage type approved by the Town. Each element shall be noninductive, and shall be connected through a separate thermostat. The capacity rating of the lower and upper units shall be twenty (20) and thirty (30) watts per gallon, respectively, to the nearest NEMA Standard. Water heaters of the quick-recovery type shall be forty (40) gallons or larger, and the capacity rating of each of the lower and upper elements shall not exceed five thousand (5,000) watts. The upper thermostat and element shall be interconnected with the lower thermostat and element to 7 allow operation of only one (1) element at the same time. The lower, or base, element shall be placed so as to heat the entire tank, and the upper, or booster, element shall be placed so as to heat not more than the upper one-third 03) of the tank. (g) Electric space-heating equipment. The Town shall be advised as to the impending installation of electric space-heating equipment in advance, in order to determine if extensions of or additions to the Town's facilities will be required and to allow arrangements therefor, and to determine the available voltage at the customer's installation. Each space-heating element over one thousand six hundred fifty (1,650) watts shall be individually controlled by a thermostat. No single space-heating element shall have a rat:d capacity greater than five (5) kilowatts. No thermostat shall control more than five (5) kilowatts of electric baseboard heat. Charge for Returned Customer Checks The Department shall impose a charge of ten dollars ($10.00) per returned check upon any customer whose check for payment to the Department is returned by a bank as not payable. The amount of the charge for a check from a customer that is returned to the Department as not payable shall be revised periodically, as necessary. Electric Utility Deposit Policv (a) Purpose of Deposits: The purpose of the electric utility deposit is to provide the ulility u source of funds to draw upon in the event that a customer does not remit payment for find charges for electric services received. (b) Deposits Required: Electric utility deposits are required for any residential customer who has not had active electric service during the previous six months. All commercial accounts are required to provide a utility deposit regardless of the number of accounts and payment history already established. (c) Types of Deposits: (1) Residential: When an account is established and billed under the residential rates, the deposit amount is set at $185.00 for an all-electric home and at $75.00 for a home that is heated by natural gas, propane, etc. Residential deposits will be retained by the Town for a minimum of two years. (2) Commercial: When an account is established and billed under the commercial rates, the deposit will be set at the total of the three highest months' utility bills out of the previous twelve months with a minimum of $150. If the usage of the commercial account differs greatly from the previous account usage, the Town reserves the right to estimate the expected amount of bills based upon other similar-type accounts. Commercial deposits will be retained by the Town for a minimum of three years. 8 (d) Interest Accrued on Deposits: All cash deposits retained by the Town will accrue interest at the rate set by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC). The rate will be adjusted as of January 1st of each year to comply with the current PUC rate. Accrued interest will be disbursed when the deposit is refunded to the customer. (e) Refund of Deposits: Electric utility deposits will be refunded along with accrued interest at the end of the deposit term if the customer has demonstrated a good payment history. A good payment history is defined as no more than two Notices of Discontinuation of Service miled out in the twelve preceding months. This applies for both residential and commercial customer accounts. If a deposit is not refunded at the end of the two or three- year period because the customer did not establish a good payment history, then tb: accounts will be periodically reviewed by the department and a refund will be made once the refund criteria are met. (f) Deposits will also be refunded to the customer at the time that service is taken out of their name. The amount of the deposit plus interest accrued will be applied to any unpaid balance on the account at the time the account is finalized, with the remaining amount refunded to the customer. (g) Re-deposit: Customers who have had their deposits refunded for a good payment history could be required to submit another deposit in the event that they receive two or more Notices of Discontinuance of Service within any twelve-month period. The amount of deposit would coincide with the requirements in effect at that particular time. (h) Transfer of Deposits: A deposit can be transferred when a customer moves from one location to another. If the deposit for the second location is a different amount from the firs< location, the customer will be obligated to pay the difference or the Town will refund the difference to the customer. (i) Deposits Not Applied to Regular Bill Payments: The deposit amount will not be applied to the regular monthly bills. Deposits will be held for face value until customers meet the required time period or the deposit has been used to clear final balances if the customer closes their account. 0) Subject to Disconnection for Non-Payment of Monthly Billing: All accounts are subject to disconnection if payment is not received by the utility. If a deposit is held by the Town, it will not be applied to the account unless the account is being taken out of the customer's name. (k) Subject to Disconnection for Non-Payment of Deposit: An account will be disconnected if the deposit is not paid to the Town within the time requested. (1) Acceptable Forms of Deposit: Cash or check only for residential accounts; cash, check, or an Irrevocable Letter of Credit issued by a financial institution for commercial accounts. The Town does not accept credit reference letters issued from other utilities in lieu of a deposit. 9 LIGHT AND POWER RATE SCHEDULES Generally The schedule of rates set forth in this Chapter for the service of electric power and energy by the Town shall remain in effect until repealed or amended.

C. To: Light and Power Committee From: Richard E. Matzke~ZEÂ·PL Date: May 7, 1997 Re: Service Extension to USBR Marys Lake Outlet Works Request to Award Trenching Contract The Light and Power Department has received three bids for installation of approximately 735' of primary conduit and trench to extend underground service to the existing United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Marys Lake Outlet Works located in the Marys Lake Campground area. This extension is required to transfer this service from the USBR's system to the Town's. The work will begin in mid-September following the closing of the campground for the season. Following is a summary ofthe bid received: Chief s Landscaping $ 7,595 Drake Construction 18,000 Wilde Construction 18,828.80 The Light and Power Department recommends that the trenching contract be awarded to the low bidder, Chiefs Landscaping, at a cost not to exceed $7,595.

REM 3-1 Interoffice Memorandum To: Town Board and Trustees From: Chief Repola ~/ I)ate: May 5, 1997 Re: PURCHASE OF TRUCK FOR HUMANE OFFICER ittached you will find a copy of a memo from Mr. Shanafelt regarding bids for a truck to be purchased by EPPD. This truck will replace the current one being utilized for animal control purposes. Due to the fact that there is no public safety meeting during the month of May, we have brought this matter to your attention without consideration by the Public Safety Committee. The bids as received are listed on the attached memo. The bid from the Rains Motor Company receives a 2% variance for a local vendor. With that variance, the amount is reduced to $18,370. Therefore, I ask that you consider the bids in light of that variance. In addition as you will see on the memo, the amount budgeted for this expenditure was $18,743 for 1997. Our agreement with the Humane Society was recently renewed and that agreement includes an increase of approximately $3,000, which helps to offset the cost of a four- wheel drive option. I recommend that we purchase the vehicle from the Rains Motor Company for $18,745.

Amended Plat of Lots 1 and 2. Lee and Alps Addition and of the Amended Plat of Lots 5A and 9. Prospect Village Subdivision. Lynn W. Kinnie and Town of Estes Park/Applicant. Director Stamey stated the Applicant has two requests before the Board and the Agenda would be revised to discuss the Special Review application following the Amended Plat. This proposed subdivision would result in: 1) the two lots north of the Big Thompson River being combined into one lot, 2) dedication of a 10' wide pedestrian access easement along the south side .f Lot lA, 3) 50' radius at the NE corner of Lot lA which could be available for future Highway 36/Crags Drive intersection improvements and 4) former Outlot A transferred from the Town to Kinnie with the existing 30I wide public access easement being retained and an additional access easement being granted from this 30' easement to Lot 5A. Mr. Stamey reviewed the staff report noting Plat and application information needs to be modified and the future highway R-0-W on Lot lA would need to be dedicated with this Plat. Applicant's representative, Bill Van Horn, stated they will comply with the street dedication after a field visit/determination. Director Stamey stated an easement paralleling Highway 36 should be granted for potential Highway construction. Mr. Van Horn requested a reverter clause on the easement if it is not needed. Town Attorney White suggested all buildings except encroaching buildings be removed from the Plat for easier readability. It was moved and seconded (A. Hix/Brown) the Amended Plat of Lots 1 and 2, Lee and Alps Addition and the Amended Plat of Lots 5A and 9, Prospect Village Subdivision, be favorably recommended to the Board of Trustees subject to the following, and it passed unanimously. 1.

Other â€¢ Remove all buildings except encroaching buildings from the Plat. â€¢ The older, abandoned service line must be plugged or capped to the satisfaction of the Estes Park Sanitation District's line superintendent. 2.c. Special Review 97-2. Lot lA & 5A of the Amended Plat of Lots 1 & 2. Lee and Alps Addition and of the Amended Plat of Lots SA and 9. Prospect Village Subdivision. Applicant: Lynn W. Kinnie. This is a proposal for construction of two additional 18 hole miniature golf courses and a new foot bridge. Chairman Sager opened the Public Hearing. Director Stamey reviewed the staff report noting paths with direct connections are preferable and the developer will be responsible for maintenance of these connections. Staff has concerns with the colors and descriptive phrase 'festive in nature' and is requesting primary and bright colors be avoided and a that a statement of this intent be provided. Other staff comments included parking concerns, providing a lighting detail (lights need to be shielded), clarifying the status of existing golf course, submission of a construction schedule and path modification. Mr. Stamey noted CDOT was completing a site visit on this date which may result in a guard rail being required which would be the Applicant's responsibility and emphasized approval of this Special Review does not imply any approval of the existing parking on Lot lA. Applicant's representative, Bill Van Horn, stated a lighting detail would be provided with ballard type lights being planned and due to the nature of use, some medium height lighting will be utilized. All lighting will be shielded. Mr. Van Horn recognized the color/design concerns, stating the general theme would be 'old west' and all features of the course are to be low level, with intense landscaping, and he does not have any objection with the conditions of the colors; additional information will be submitted. Regarding disposition of the existing course, a portion is in need of reconstruction and there will be a slight adjustment relative to the new course protrusion, it will be maintained until the property is re-developed. Mr. Van Horn stated a multi-family use drawing has been submitted for future intended use of the slide/miniature golf course area: the construction schedule is contingent upon approval process (possibly 1997 season, completion by Spring 1998). The Go-Cart parking has been more than adequate, with additional parking available. There may be shared parking with Estes Park Brewery in the future. With the removal of the 5 spaces requested by Staff, approximately 30 new spaces would be available (along the east side of the vacated Prospect Village Drive). He would agree to a note on the Development Plan regarding an obligation to construct additional parking at the Town's request. He was in agreement with other staff requests, including working with Staff on the path interface and would prefer to continue with a two sheet submittal. Commissioner Pohl was pleased with the importance of colors to the Applicant and expressed concern that in the past, national news had commented on the infringement of site lines in Estes Park due to the 'slide' and requested specific wording in the motion regarding colors. Commissioner Gilfillan emphasized the importance of shielded lighting. Commissioner A. Hix clarified with Mr. Van Horn that if a guard rail is required by CDOT, it will be the Applicant's expense. Mr. Van Horn agreed to consider Chairman Sager's request for additional handicap spaces. Audience comments were heard from Mary Lamy, Rock Ridge Road who was concerned with lighting, noting the current lighting is intense, intrusive and dominates the night sky. Steve Komito, Estes Park resident, requested clarification of the dedicated easement for a trail north of the river and if the slide would be removed as had been discussed five years ago when approval was given for the Go-Cart proposal. He requested the Commission's assistance with removal of the slide. The Public Hearing was closed. Attorney White stated it is not appropriate to request the slide be removed, a voluntary comment could be given - it could not be a recommendation. Mr. White stated removal of the slide was not a condition previously and there is no current violation of any land use decisions. It was moved and seconded (Pohl/Brown) Special Review, 97-2, Lot lA & 5A of the Amended Plat of Lots 1 & 2, Lee and Alps Addition and of the Amended Plat of Lots 5A and 9, Prospect Village Subdivision, be favorably recommended to the Board of Trustees, subject to the following, and it passed by the following votes: those voting "Yes", Connissioners Brown, Burgess, A.

Applicant's representative, Bill Van Horn, stated they are willing to comply with Staff requests and there will be a blanket shared parking agreement and maintenance agreement proportional to size of buildings. Locates requested by EPSD will be done prior to the Town Board meeting. Chairman Sager recognized the Planning Commission has no authority regarding fence repair, however, he noted the fence on the east end of the bowling alley is in need of repair and wheel stops would also be helpful. It was moved and seconded (Burgess/Gilfillan) the Nytes Replat of a Portion of Lot 37, White Meadow View Place, aka Mountain Printery and The Bowling Alley, be favorably recommended to the Board of Trustees, subject to the following conditions, and it passed unanimously with one abstention. 1.

This is a *1 proposed Final Plat for a 6.46 acre tract to be annexed and to divide 2 Tracts into 5 Lots (proposed zoning R-M Multi-Family) with an internal public road system. Chairman Sager opened the Public Hearing. Applicant's representative, Paul Kochevar, explained the proposal and is in agreement with all items in the staff report with the exception of the property being included in the N.C.W.C.D. prior to Final Plat approval. Mr. Kochevar requested this be approved with submission of a 'Petition to N.C.W.C.D.' as the process will be lengthy. Mr. Kochevar stated Lot 1 could have an emergency access in the SW corner and they are willing to explore the idea of an access parallel to the highway. Public Works Director Linnane stated this request is reasonable. Senior Planner Joseph noted the Statement of Intent has been revised to eliminate commercial zoning; R-M Multi-Family is requested for all lots and he reviewed the staff report and noted correspondence has been received from R.M.N.P. who expressed concern for visual impact which (with the exception of one lot) will be addressed at Development Plan review. Mr. Joseph also reviewed Fire Chief Dorman's comments/recommendation to add an emergency access road from Highway 36 to the North side of Lot 1. Audience comments were heard from Glenn Porzac who represents the following neighbors: Judy/Isabel/Mary Lamy, Corley/Hurley, James/Joseph/John/Peter Arcidiacono, Patsy/James Cravens, Chamberlain and Ackerman. Mr. Porzac stated his clients are concerned with: 1) the proposed emergency access and utility easement on the west and noted the property owners are granting a conservation easement to the Estes Valley Land Trust for perpetuity and requested language to prohibit access and 2) Rock Ridge Road, requesting abandonment of all use on this road and stated all clients will abandon any rights to cross this road and find usage for emergency purposes difficult. The clients do not want any connection between Highways 34 and 36. Discussion continued and Commissioner Gilfillan stated there must be an emergency access to serve this subdivision. Mr. Kochevar suggested the emergency access to be from the SW corner of Lot 1 to the NE corner of Lot 1 along the south and east side of Lot 1 and Mr. Porzac found this acceptable. Peter Arcidiacono (also speaking for brothers James, Joe and John) stated they are not opposed to the proposed Annexation, however, requested the Applicant revoke his access rights to Rock Ridge Road and respect their privacy. Mr. Kochevar stated there is no problem with limiting the access and exchanging usage of Rock Ridge Road. The Public Hearing was closed. It was moved and seconded (Burgess/A. Hix) the Annexation, Zoning (R-M Multi-Family) and Final Plat of Beaver Point Third Addition, be favorably recammended to the Board of Trustees, subject to the following findings/conditions, and it passed unanimously. .......Pul.10-N@coÂ· RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Planning Commission - April 15, 1997 Page 3 1.

This truck will replace the current one being utilized for animal control purposes. Due to the fact that there is no public safety meeting during the month of May, we have brought this matter to your attention without consideration by the Public Safety Committee. The bids as received are listed on the attached memo. The bid from the Rains Motor Company receives a 2% variance for a local vendor. With that variance, the amount is reduced to $18,370. Therefore, I ask that you consider the bids in light of that variance. In addition as you will see on the memo, the amount budgeted for this expenditure was $18,743 for 1997. Our agreement with the Humane Society was recently renewed and that agreement includes an increase of approximately $3,000, which helps to offset the cost of a four- wheel drive option. I recommend that we purchase the vehicle from the Rains Motor Company for $18,745. TOWN OF ESTES PARK Office Memorandum AC. To: Light and Power Committee From: Richard E. Matzke72 Clk Date: May 7, 1997 Re: Service Extension to USBR Marys Lake Outlet Works Request to Award Trenching Contract The Light and Power Department has received three bids for installation of approximately 735' of primary conduit and trench to extend underground service to the existing United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Marys Lake Outlet Works located in the Marys Lake Campground area.
