Its purpose is to enlarge the present weed district, which covers the area between the Weld County line on the east, Livermore on the north, the foothills on the west and the Boulder County line on the south, to encompass the entire county. This will include federal, state, county and private land. The present weed district tax is 0.142 mils. The tax rate covering the entire county will be 0.190 mils, raising about $350,000 additional for the county control measures. These measures include inspections, control recommendations, roadside mowing and spraying, equipment loans, cost sharing with property owners, and other measures developed in the future for control of noxious weeds. If the open range land and mountainous areas are not subject to noxious weed controls, seeds from these areas will be carried by wind, water and other means to the adjacent lands and plains. This could be a disaster to our environment and our wildlife habitat. In fact seeds from these areas now are invading our cities and rural areas. The Estes Valley is experiencing this now. The Estes Valley weed control group is making good progress in its efforts to control noxious weeds in the valley. The town, the recreation district, the National Park, the US Forest Service, EVIA and a number of home owner associations have formed this weed control group and have contributed monies which, with matching grants, are working to control noxious weeds in the valley. The county is acquiring land through the open space sales tax. The new master land use plan will provide residual land through the new Conservation Development process. All of these residual and open space lands will require a management plan which will work to control noxious weeds. The concern of the County Commissioners is the migration of plants and seeds from uncontrolled areas to the managed lands, therefore the need to expand the weed control district to the entire county. If all Colorado residents had worked to control noxious weeds on their properties, the Colorado Noxious Weed Act would not have been necessary. Neither would Issue lA have been on the November ballot. However, the county recognizes the threat to our environment, the threat to our wildlife, the threat to our agricultural way of life, and is offering to work with all Larimer County residents to stem this invasion.

Mr. Van Meveren is seeking support of designating October 8, 1998 as "Turn off the Violence Day" for the purpose of encouraging the community to resolve conflict by communicating; by supporting, trusting, and respecting each other; by spending time together and strengthening our families through clear rules and high values; by using positive non-violent ways to resolve conflict; and by being aware of and selective in our choices of entertainment. Mayor Dekker executed the proclamation and noted the Board's appreciation to Mr. Van Meveren for his effort on this program. PUBLIC COMMENT: None. TOWN BOARD COMMENTS: Trustee Baudek reminded everyone of the Short-Term Rental Town meeting September 24th at 7:00 p.m. in the Board Room. Mayor Dekker reminded the Trustees of the CML District 2 Meeting in Greeley on September 23rd. CONSENT CALENDAR: 1. Town Board Minutes dated September 8, 1998. 2. Bills. 3. Committee Minutes: A. Light & Power, September 10, 1998, approval of: 1. Christmas Decoration Installation Contract. 2. Tree Trimming Service Contract. 3. 1998 Underground Project Trenching Contracts. Board of Trustees - September 22, 1998 - Page 2 Light and Power Director Matzke clarified Trustee Marshall's questions regarding tree-trimming: privatization is being considered as it allows the lineman to perform their technical duties. The increasing workload has made it difficult to maintain the same level of tree-trimming as in past years. The contractor will concentrate on the Pine Valley/Allenspark area. Trustee Barker confirmed that-the Town is realizing a savings due to privatization (economically beneficial). Although this is the first time privatization was considered for tree-trimming, such a contract will free-up the lineman to do work needing to be done. Christmas Decoration installation is in its third year of privatization and it has proven to be very successful. Staff is reviewing other areas where Â· privatizatibn could be economically beneficial. Administrator Widmer noted that the Light and Power Dept. has contained the same number of personnel for approximately 15 years, while growth has increased 3.5%/yr. It was moved and seconded (Hix/Doylen) the Consent Calendar be approved, and it passed unanimously. ACTION ITEMS: 1. Special Event Liquor Permit Application filed by American Legion Post 119, 850 N. St. Vrain Ave. Clerk O'Connor stated that the Legion is requesting approval of two Special Event Permits for two public dances scheduled 10/31/98 and 12/31/98. With approval of these two applications, the Legion will have used their allotment of ten permits/yr. Staff added that these permits are necessary due to the Legion' s "Club Liquor License" which allows liquor sales only to their membership; when the Legion plans public events, they must have a Special Event Permit. It was moved and seconded (Baudek/Hix) the Special Event Liquor Permits for October 31 and December 31, 1998 be approved, and it passed unanimously. 2. Lease/Purchase Financing for Two Dump Trucks. Town Administrator Widmer reported that at the February 26, 1998 Public Works Committee meeting, two dump trucks were approved: Water Dept./$94,902 and Street Dept./$95,371. At the time the 1998 Budget was prepared, staff anticipated that the trucks would be financed through a lease/purchase spread over four years. Bids were solicited and staff is recommending accepting the First National Bank interest rate of 5.525% for a four-year period. Town Attorney White has yet to review and prepare the lease agreement. Trustee Doylen commented that both trucks can be used for snowplowing, and a lease appears to be the best financial plan at this time. Trustee Marshall requested clarification on the Town's vehicle purchasing policy, and Administrator Widmer responded that Fleet Dept. repair records, etc. are monitored and thoroughly reviewed. Stating that the bid award is based on a savings of $663.00 over four years, it was moved and seconded (Doylen/Jeffrey) the Lease/Purchase Agreement with First National Bank for two dump trucks at an interest rate of 5.525% be accepted, contingent upon Town Attorney White's review/approval of the lease documentation, and it passed unanimously. Trustee Marshall added that the lease/purchase program was successful for the purchase of three tents for Special Events, and he questioned if additional tents were being budgeted. Administrator Widmer stated that staff will Board of Trustees - September 22, 1998 - Page 3 present the preliminary budget to the Town Board next week; although there are no additional tents being considered, the preliminary budget does contain other new items. 3. Town Administrator's Report: A. Stanley Hall Renovation Project: While the Contractor, Mountain Plains Constructors, was installing the new sewer line for Stanley Hall, he encountered bedrock which needed to be drilled and blasted. Staff is recommending approval of a change order for said additional work in the amount of $450.00. The revised total contract value will be $4,579.00. Trustee Baudek confirmed that this contract was a budgeted item and part of a grant. It was moved and seconded (Doylen/Marshall) the change order for an additional $450.00 as defined above be approved, and it passed unanimously. B. The July Sales Tax statistics have been received: the Town realized an increase of almost 9% over July, 1997, and the year-to-date revenue is approximately 12%. Following completion of all agenda items, Mayor Dekker adjourned the meeting at 7:48 p.m. Robert L. Dekker, Mayor Vickie O'Connor, Town Clerk BRADFOROPUBLISHINGCO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development Committee September 24, 1998 Committee: Chairman Barker, Trustees Doylen and Marshall Attending: All Also Attending: Town Administrator Widmer, Directors Kilsdonk and Pickering, Manager Marsh, Clerk O'Connor Absent: Director Hinze Chairman Barker called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. 1. MARKETING. A. Advertising Manager presented a copy of the "Family Fun" Magazine, where an unsolicited whole page article on Estes Park was displayed. B. Advertising Report: Manager Marsh presented the following data and associated graph: Requests for Information = 47,728, a 9% decrease as compared to 1997. Staff has been advised by RRC that the decrease statistics are skewed as the magazine mailing lists contain a 12% duplication. Staff discussed this inaccuracy with the fulfillment house and from this point forward, they will review and/or revise their mailing list every month. Incoming 800 Line Call statistics for August appear sound. Manager Marsh is discussing the "Clancy" Parking System with Chief Repola to ascertain whether license plate statistics (i.e.: state, county, rental cars, etc.) could be analyzed/refined. Responding to Trustee Doylen's question regarding the percentage of repeat visitors, staff commented that it appears that repeat business is very high; a viable economy bodes well for vacations. Virtual Visitors Guide: E-mailed requests for the printed guide in August totaled 468. Of that total, 12.2% were generated from a magazine ad. Total year-to- date e-mailed requests for Guides was 4,436 which equates to a significant response generator for the Virtual Visitors Guide. The Committee commended Manager Marsh. Sample magazine ads for the Fall season were displayed. The Fall schedule includes 13 titles, reaching 9,586,000 households. The CTTA has hired a new director; satellite, non-destination areas are suffering, and, for example, the western slope is launching an effort for the return of a state tourism board. C. Conference Center Report: Director Pickering presented the Fall Conference Report for September through November, 1998. Seventeen groups were booked with conference attendance ranging from 100 to 1,500. Of particular note is the Snow and Ice Conference Sept. 28 th - October 2nd The Committee reviewed a letter from the New Mexico Quilter's Association commending Linda Larsen for her assistance during their guilt show. Employing a BRADFORDPUSLISHINGCO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development - September 24, 1998 - Page 2 Conference Service Coordinator is paying big dividends. All conference groups are surveyed and staff will share this information when available. The Committee commended Street/Parks Supt. Speedlin and his staff for booking the Snow and Ice Conference which, with 1,500 attendees, relates to a community income of approximately $600,000. D. Marketing Advisory Council Report: Chairman Barker reported that Chamber Resort Assn. Director David Thomas will be reporting to this Committee on a monthly basis from this point forward. Director Thomas stated that the Marketing Advertising Council was created in 1997 and its purpose is to develop a long-term marketing direction that includes the establishment Of specific plans for marketing programs advertising, etc. to increase the exposure and market share of Estes Park. The Marketing Advertising Council Will unveil a new Visitors Guide (Vacation Planner) to the public October 22Â« The new Guide is an attempt to convert the undecided visitor, and it should capture visitors' interest. Research on the front-range consumer has been completed, and the next step is to prepare an advertising plan and help position Estes Park in the Colorado market. Ski areas are abandoning the front-range market. MAC is also working on creating special events, and they have secured two corporate sponsors. Mr. Thomas reported that Red Feather and Tubbs (snowshoe companies), have agreed to sponsor the Celebrate Estes event. Estes Park/RMNP is an excellent winter sports activity center, especially to the front-range. Estes Park has been selected as one of ten sites by Tubbs and they will create a snowshoe center, with demonstrations, etc. for the Tubbs Outback Snowshoe Festival December 19M. The event will be held at the Hidden Valley snow play area, and will be designed for all consumers. This Festival is a good example of how MAC is creating special events to fill-in the off season and they believe vacation packages can be built around this type of event. With both companies, Estes Park will receive national and regional cooperative advertising. Tubbs is also planning on having Estes Park listed on their snowshoe "hang tag". The American Hiking Society is helping to create another event designed to attract the general public in February. Last year' s Winter Trails Day Weekend was most successful, and there were only two sites where this event was held, Echo Lake and Estes Park. Event dates were selected by the company based on their retail sales statistics (80% of sales achieved before Christmas). A brief discussion followed on the scheduling, with Trustee Doylen suggesting the snowshoe event be moved to post Christmas. Joe Evans and Bill Gowaltney/RMNP were commended for their cooperation in planning the above events. MAC has created a new website that Will include the above packages-the biggest advantage is that it BRADFOROPUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development - September 24, 1998 - Page 3 increases awareness of Estes Park to existing, as well as new partners. In cooperation with Frontier Airlines, the Airlines distributed 40,000 Visitors Guides. Dollar Rent a Car distributed 5,000. MAC expects to double the Betterment Fund (1%) by collecting over $100,000 this year, and the number of businesses, participating increased from 17 to 53. The Holiday Inn is a major participant, and significant cooperation is being received from accommodations and restaurants. These businesses are also contributing by agreeing to include their products for vacation packages. With advertisement, this partnership will significantly attract customers in the off-season. Marketing Advertising Council members include: Bill Almond/Holiday Inn, Trustee Barker/Liaison, Cory Blackman/Best Western Lake Estes, Monte House/Grumpy Gringo, Terry Licence/Trail Gazette, Larry Wexler/Colorado Bicycling Adventures, David Thomas/CRA Director, and Town staff members: Peter Marsh, Tom, Pickering, Rich Widmer and Linda Hinze.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Safety Committee October 1, 1998 Committee: Chairman Marshall, Trustees Baudek and Hix Attending: Chairman Marshall, Trustee Baudek Also Attending: Town Administrator Widmer, Police Chief Repola, Fire Chief Dorman, Clerk O'Connor Absent: Trustee Hix Chairman Marshall called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. POLICE DEPARTMENT: Street Closure, Riverside Dr. to Spruce Dr. - Halloween Event, October 31, 1998. Staff is requesting approval to close Elkhorn Ave. from Spruce Dr. to E. Riverside Dr. from 5:00 p.m. until approximately 8-9:00 p.m. to enhance the Downtown Halloween event. Closing the street to traffic for Halloween has been practiced in the past as it provides a safe holiday for this family event. Officers control the intersections and dispense candy. The street closure is identical to last year, and the Committee recommends approval of the street closure as noted. This request requires annual approval due to the street closure. Burglary Prevention/Investigation Efforts. Detective van Deutekom reported that at the request of Chief Repola, staff has reviewed burglary violations to determine how the "solve rate" could be improved. The Uniform Crime Reporting System implemented by the FBI to track various crimes indicates that law enforcement achieves a national solve-rate average of 13%. In 1997, the Dept. handled a total of 48 reported burglaries; nine cases were solved, for a total solve rate of 18.75%. To date, there have been 32 reported burglaries; five cases have been solved, for a solve-rate of 15.6%. Burglary is one of the toughest crimes to solve. In Colorado, burglaries are categorized into three degrees: first degree is entering illegally and threatening or using force; second degree is illegally entering without the use of force; and third degree is when the perpetrator breaks into any type of safe, coin- operated machine, etc. Just less then half of all reported burglaries were committed without force (i.e.: open doors, windows, safes), creating an atmosphere conductive to burglaries. By educating the public to secure their possessions, burglaries could be reduced by almost 50%. Patrol Supervisors Fox, Kufeld, Pass, Schumaker, Captain Filsinger and Detective van Deutekom are proposing implementation of the following: 1. Establish a map with markers to visually observe if there are problem areas. 2. Encourage officers on patrol to utilize field interviews. 3. Utilize Public Service Announcements on the local radio station. 4. Place articles in the Trail Gazette concerning burglary prevention. 5. Schedule public meetings focusing on burglary prevention. BRADFORDPUBLISHINGCO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Safety Committee - October 1, 1998 - Page 2 6. Assign extra officers to special burglary detail. Item #1 has been completed, and it is apparent that the vast majority of burglaries occur in the business sections of Estes Park. Items #3 and 4 have been initiated. It became evident that May and possibly October are the heaviest months for this type of crime to occur. However, as the statistical reporting data is fairly recent, Administrator Widmer urged the Committee not to draw specific conclusions/trends at this time. In addition, Administrator Widmer suggested staff contact service clubs for speaking engagements on this subject. Discussion followed on the positive impact of implementing the "Community Policing" Concept, and the varying degrees of assistance -Neighborhood Watch" can provide. The Police Dept. and Sheriff's Dept., through the Mutual Aid Agreement, coordinate their efforts to solve crimes. Detective van Deutekom urged residents to contact the Police Dept. to report suspicious individuals, incidents, and suggested part-time residents notify their neighbors and the Dept. when they are leaving the area for an extended period of time. Administrator Widmer commended Mike and his staff for working on this project, particularly in utilizing several QI techniques-good work. Customer Service Survey. The Committee reviewed the survey for the 2nd Quarter: the format was revised, and the focus was on making contact by phone. The following questions and results were found: SURVEY QUESTIONS AVERAGE RATING AVERAGE RATING FOR PATROL FOR SUPPORT SERVICES Did the employee behave in a professional manner? 4 4.48 Was the employee helpful? 4 4.43 Was the employee knowledgeable? 3.8 4.35 Did the employee show concern for your situation? 3.8 4.52 Did the employee's actions assist you in resolving the problem? 4 4.58 Overall, how would you rate your contact with our department? 4 4.58 Was your request handled in a timely manner? 3.83 4.59 Rating Systern: 5 = Outstanding 2 - Needs Improvement 4 = Commendable 1 = Unsatisfactory 3 - Effective The survey is an effective tool in monitoring customer service, and staff has determined that personal contact (telephone) is more effective than a postcard. Chairman Marshall questioned the Dept.'s rapport with young adults, and Chief Repola responded that in general, perception is favorable; however, the Police Dept. does not tolerate dangerous behavior. If so directed, a survey strictly for youth could be implemented. FIRE DEPARTMENT: Labor Day Event. Fire Chief Dorman reported that attendance was very good. A total of $6,064.00 was donated to MDA, and the Fire Dept.'s portion was $18,445.27. Funds for the Fire Dept. are derived from their food booth, and vendor booth rental. All "boot" BRADFOROPUBLISHINGCO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Safety Committee - October 1, 1998 - Page 3 proceeds and a portion of the booth rental were donated to MDA. Vendors were pleased with attendance and income this year, and it is obvious if MacGregor Ave. were closed several more booths could be planned. Chief Dorman confirmed that there are over 100 vendors on a waiting list. Administrator Widmer encouraged the Dept. to review the street closure as a means of increasing their fund- raising efforts. The Committee commended all the volunteers for their time and effort on this project. Fire Prevention Week. Jon Landkamer, Secretary, is the Chairman of Fire Prevention Week scheduled October 4-10, 1998, and he reported: a "Letter to families" has been given to Elementary and Intermediate children that provides various fire prevention information, and suggests each family develop a home escape plan. A form to be used in mapping out individual escape plans is also being provided, and the best plan will be selected and forwarded to NFPA for inclusion in a national contest (the grand prize is a family trip to Disney World). The "Great Escape" is planned October 7th at 6:00 p.m. and as a reminder, Dept. members will run their sirens from their homes for approximately 30 seconds. Concerning smoke detector give-away's, Chief Dorman reported that various extinguisher companies donate free fire extinguishers, and their only requirement is that they be installed by a firefighter--- the Fire Dept. is researching this information for future use. An official Proclamation will be prepared and arrangements will be made for a photo. A map of the proposed track to be used during the State Fire Fighters Conference scheduled in June, 1999 in Estes Park was presented. When it is timely, Chief Dorman will meet with Special Events Director Hinze to process an event routing sheet, particularly as the conference relates to street closure(s). Tournament events follow specific CSFFA rules and regulations. Staff anticipates attendance will be high as the Estes Park site is garnering significant interest. REPORTS. The Committee reviewed the parking ticket statistics for the same period of June - September for 1997 and 1998. In general, timed locations are UP slightly, and warnings have increased significantly. In areas where signage may be confusing, officers have revised their enforcement. Loading zone violations have increased. The Committee commended the summer officers on the positive feedback received this year. Trustee Baudek requested Chiefs Repola and Dorman verify if the ordinance requiring individual properties to visibly post their street address has been successful. The ordinance mandated compliance on or before December 31, 1997. Staff will report their findings at the next Committee meeting. There being no further business, Chairman Marshall adjourned the meeting at 9:02 a.m. Jr-Llu o -ehi- j Vickie O'Connor, CMC/AAE, Town Clerk BRADFOROPUBLISHINGCO.

Mangelsen, Clerk O'Connor Absent: None Chairman Hix called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. POLICY PROCEDURE MANUAL - PROPOSED ADDITIONS. Light & Power Director Matzke reported that the following additions to the Light and Power Policy/Procedure Manual are being requested by the Finance Dept., and all revisions are more generous in nature than currently allowed: I. Third-Party Responsibility Form. Traditionally, the Town has accepted a third-party responsibility form in lieu of a residential deposit. Currently, there is no limit of liability for the party accepting responsibility for an electric account, nor a limit of term. Staff is proposing to limit the responsible party's liability to twice the normally required residential deposit for that electric account. The responsible party would also set an expiration date for the agreement (on the revised form). II. Waiving a Commercial Electric Service Deposit. Currently, residential electric customers with a good payment history (for the past two years) are not required to pay a deposit when requesting a new residential service. Staff is recommending extending this practice to commercial customers as well. Policy guidelines for waiving a commercial electric service deposit include: 1. The responsible party must have at least five 95) years of good pay history for other commercial accounts. A good payÂ· history is defined as two or less disconnect notices and/or two or less returned checks during this time period. 2. The responsible billing party's name must be the same as the account referred to in Item #1 listed above. 3. The waiver of commercial deposits will only be allowed for accounts that would require a deposit of $1,000 or less. 4. Restaurants and lodging accounts will be excluded from this deposit waiver policy and be required to submit a deposit. 5. If two or more notices of discontinuance and/or returned checks are received on this account in any twelve-month period, the Town has the option to require a cash deposit. III. Budget Billing Plan/Commercial Customers. The Budget Billing Plan is currently available to residential customers, and staff is recommending the Plan be made available to commercial customers. Staff recommends changing the calculation of the monthly billing amount from 1/10th of the past twelve months total bills, to the monthly average of the past twelve months bills plus 5%. All three revisions/additions will be effective immediately upon approval of the Board of Trustees. Stating the Committee desires additional information/statistics on Item #4 related to waiving a commercial electric BRADFOROPUILISHING CO.

Staff intends to present the contract agreements for the historic architect and conservator at the November Committee meeting. The Committee recommends the Mayor be authorized to execute the Historical Planning Grant Contract. REPORTS. Platte River Power Authority. Director Matzke has attended his first PRPA Board meeting as a Board member. During the September meeting, the 1999 Budget was presented. PRPA's financial status is very sound, the Board is projecting lower operational costs, and the budget does not contain a rate increase for its member cities. The Board received a presentation on Y2K issues as they impact PRPA, and Mike Dahl will be presenting a similar program to the Town Board at their meeting October 27th . General Manager Thaine Michie has announced his retirement effective the end of 1998, and Board members will recommend a recruiting firm at their next meeting. Financial Report. The August Income Statement and graphs were reviewed. Project Updates. Staff is planning project "walk-throughs" on the Meadowdale Hills and Glen Haven Projects. The Automated Meter Reading (AMR) Project is nearing implementation subject to resolution of various computer obstacles. Over 100 such meters have been installed and the Town will receive benefits as soon as the system is fully operational. Both electric and water meters will be read by the ERT modules; this system will eliminate individual water readouts for those meters.. All electronics have been delivered and installed at all sites, including the Municipal Building, for fiber optics. This project is also nearing completion. The Estes Substation site survey has been completed, staff has met with PRPA, and staff will be sending out the specifications for the transformer.

Preliminary Plat Cherokee Meadows Subdivision - Phase II, Tract 1, Arapaho Meadows Addition, South of Prospect Estates/North of Arapaho Estates, Ron Gordon/Applicant. This revised Preliminary Plat for Phase II proposes to subdivide 9.363 acres into 9 single-family lots. Lots will be accessed via public streets, except for Lot 5, which will be accessed via a shared private drive to be constructed by the developer. Kerry Prochaska, Applicant's representative, stated that pursuant to staff's request, the right-of-way and construction as it relates to the adjacent Miller property was rearranged. With the revision, Mr. Prochaska confirmed that Pawnee Dr. will not impact any existing trees, and the private drive may only impact one tree. The layout, as a result of site inspections with staff, has improved, and the Applicant has no problem with staff recommendations. Sr. Planner Joseph reviewed staff recommendations 1 through 6. Mr. Prochaska responded as follows: two tentative locations have been identified for the postal cluster box due to "phasing", and the Postmaster is reviewing both sites, installation will occur in the right-of-way; revisions to street construction plans will be shown on the plan. Audience comments: Ed McKinney/Prospect Estates, supported the Developer in not requesting higher density than the one-acre lots; expressed neighborhood concern regarding proposed "modular" home construction which some consider "downgrading of the entire area"; objected to the roadway not being connected to Hwy. 7; and he said encroachment should be kept to a minimum on the wetlands area to permit use of the right-of-way for the hike/bike path. 8/ADFOR' PUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Planning Commission - September 15, 1998 - Page 2 Bob Koehler, developer of Arapaho Estates, commented that when he developed his second filing, he was required to provide a letter of credit for acquisition of right-of-way to Prospect Estates across property now known as Cherokee Meadows. The first phase of this development satisfies the requirement of that right-of- way. The $10,000 letter of credit stems from the Annexation Agreement with prior landowner Sam Luce. Mr. Koehler is requesting that when this subdivision and associated right-of-way are platted, his $10,000 letter of credit be released. Planner Joseph stated that when the Town receives an Improvement Guarantee from the Cherokee Meadows developer, Mr. Koehler's guarantee will be released. It was moved and seconded (Pohl/Gillette) the Preliminary Plat of Cherokee Meadows Subdivision, Phase II, Tract 1, Arapaho Meadows Addition, be approved with the following conditions, and it passed unanimously: 1. The discrepancy between the street profile for Pawnee Drive and the profile for Cherokee Drive shall be corrected, and the road profiles and construction details shall be revised to clearly demonstrate adequate right-of-way width along the south line of Lot 4 to provide for road construction outside of the wetlands. 2. The postal cluster box location shall be identified on the final street construction drawings. 3. A temporary 75 ft. diameter cul-de-sac shall be provided at the end of Pawnee Court as per Public Works memo dated September 9, 1998. 4. The minor drainage that is to be relocated between Lots 10, 11, 12 and 13 shall be placed in a drainage easement along the lot lines. 5. The shared private drive serving Lots 5&6 shall be constructed by the Developer, and a shared access and maintenance agreement shall be provided with the Final Plat. 6. The Public Works Dept. shall approve construction drawings for final road layout prior to Final Plat. B. Final Plat Cherokee Meadows Subdivision - Phase I, A portion of Tract 1, Arapaho. Meadows Addition, South of Prospect Estates/North of Arapaho Estates, Ron Gordon/Applicant. This Final Plat proposes to subdivide 43.940 acres into 7 single-family lots, 2 outlots for future subdivision and 1 permanent open space outlot. Kerry Prochaska, Applicant's representative, commented that major modification from the preliminary phase to final arrangement of Pawnee Dr. to the east has occurred. He met with staff and Estes Park Surveyors regarding the roadway and how best to connect it with the adjacent Miller property. The alignment of the right-of-way has been modified to accommodate a rock outcropping. Mr. Prochaska confirmed that the roadway will not encroach into the wetlands. The Public Works Dept. is concerned with BRADFORDPUILISHING CO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Planning Commission - September 15, 1998 - Page 3 off-site drainage, thus a curb, gutter and culvert have been added to mitigate drainage, also, a drainage easement on the north side of Lot 1 could be provided. All waterline improvements have been added to the plan. Sr. Planner Joseph reviewed the staff report: the Final Plat preserves the overall density calculation of this development by placing a limit on the number of lots that can be developed; two outlots are being reserved for future development; the Final Plat notes referring to future roadway connection through Outlot A have been deleted and staff is now recommending a future connection to Hwy. 7 not be pursued at this time. The Public Works Dept. comments have been adequately reviewed, and staff is recommending conditional approval. Planner Joseph clarified Town policy concerning Improvement Guarantees for construction of public access: developers are required to financially guarantee construction of roadways serving their development. The Town requires future street connections to be dedicated as public right-of- way. Roadways will be constructed when needed to provide access to platted lots. Audience comments: Ed McKinney/Prospect Estates, stated the roadway connection explanation was clear but not necessarily adequate, and vociferously objected to not requiring the Highway 7 connection at this time based on additional traffic, and suggested the Planning Commission overrule staff's recommendation that the roadway not be included in the Improvement Guarantee for the first filing of this subdivision. Commissioner Pohl requested Mr. McKinney's reference to Mr. Murphree be clarified; Mr. McKinney responded that Ron Gordon may be the Applicant, however, he was not at neighborhood meetings-the only representative was Mr. Murphree. Chairman Sager requested additional clarification on the roadway extension. Sr. Planner Joseph stated that the easterly connection will not be completed until and if the Miller property subdivides. At that time, the Town Will require the developer to provide the connection. Chairman Sager confirmed with Representative Prochaska that Pawnee Court will not negatively impact existing trees, access is being provided at this time to Lots 9, 10, 11, 8, 12, and 13, and there will be a temporary cul-de-sac to accomplish Phase 2 development. Mr. Prochaska added that development must occur within one year of final plat approval. Planner Joseph confirmed that a street dedication has been provided that allows for an east connection through the Miller property. For clarification, Sr. Planner Joseph identified the Miller property, stating that the site does extend from the right-of-way and it stands ready and available for a street connection to Hwy. 7 at the first opportunity (most likely when the Miller property is subdivided). Mr. Koehler stated that Arapaho Estates has a dedicated right-of-way off of Cherokee Rd. going east toward a MRADFORD PUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Planning Commission - September 15, 1998 - Page 4 future connection to Hwy. 7. With approval of this easterly right-of-way, two potential rights-of-way to Hwy.7 will be created, and he requested that if Pawnee Dr. is extended to Hwy.7 through Cherokee Estates, that his right-of-way for Lots 11 and 12 be vacated, thus the affected land would be recaptured (there are several unresolved issues with this particular right- of-way). Mr. Koehler clarified the Arapaho Estates Annexation Agreement and the connection to Hwy. 7 pursuant to comments made by Mr. McKinney. Commissioner comments included: questioned whether anyone had approached the property owners of the two existing private 10' strips of land to determine if they desire an additional crossing through the wetlands (staff responded it would be preferable to have a street connection that does not cross the wetlands; confirmation that it would be best to determine which connection is preferable when and if the Miller property is subdivided. Staff confirmed that no correspondence was received on this proposal; however, the EVRPD inquired on the status of the westerly connection. It was moved and seconded (Thomas/Gillette) the Final Plat of Cherokee Meadows Subdivision, Phase I, a portion of Tract 1, Arapaho Meadows Addition be approved with the following conditions, and it passed unanimously. 1. All recommendations contained in the September 9, 1998 Public Works memo shall be met. 2. Note #5 shall be deleted from the Final Plat, and shall be added to the construction drawings. 3. The discrepancy between the street profile for Pawnee Dr. and the profile for Cherokee Dr. shall be corrected, and the road profiles shall be revised to clearly demonstrate adequate right-of- way width along the south line of Lot 4 to provide for road construction outside of the wetlands. 4. The designation of the drainage easement on the north side of Lot 1 be identified on the Final Plat. 3. REPORTS.

LOT 4. MARSHALL RESUBDIVISION. 337 VIRGINIA DRIVE. CLIFFORD AND L. JEAN SCOTT/APPLICANTS - VARIANCE REOUEST FROM SECTION 17.20.040 (b) (1) a. OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE. This is a request to enclose an existing deck. The northerly edge of the existing deck is approximately 3' from the Virginia Drive right-of-way. Building Official Birchficld recognized Petitioner Van Horn and Mr. and Mrs. Scott who were in the audience. Mr. Birchfield reviewed the Staff report recommending approval allowing a deck enclosure with a 10'setback from the Virginia Drive street property line. Petitioner, Bill Van Horn, provided letters of support from the following: Jeanne C. Adams, Helen Hitchings, Becky/Brett Dennison, Sally Schultz, John/Lorraine Gibbons and Samuel/Barbara Day. Mr. Van horn requested the variance be granted for the following reasons: property size is unique, small single family residence (800-900 sq ft), it is not anticipated that Virginia Drive will be widened, the 'traveled way orright-of-way to the north will not be extended, maintaining 10' will not improve aesthetics or functionality, a hardship exists due to the size and shape of the lot. The granting of the variance will allow the Scotts to expand the useable portion of the building which will not be heated, most neighbors favor the variance, the request will not be a detriment to the public at large or to the 'spirit' of zoning. Applicant Clifford Scott stated the enclosure would provide a place for family gatherings and storage and would have windows all the way around. Mr. Van Horn stated the deck was built approximately 8 years ago and alterations will be in compliance with the U.B.C. and will have the same footprint and will be at least 3' from the property line making adjustments as necessary. Jean Scott stated a reduced deck size is undesirable. Audience Comments: Sam Day, 339 Virginia Drive: expressed support for the request as it will not change the footprint, it will allow additional useable space and will improve the aesthetics. Stating it is not practical to cut off 10' of the existing deck, it was moved and seconded (Newsom/Barker) to approve the variance request (deck enclosure witha 3'setback from Virginia Drive street property line) for Lot 4, Marshall Resubdivision, 337 Virginia Drive, with the following conditions and it was approved unanimously. All variances granted by the Board of Adjustment shall become null and void if a Building Permit has not been issued and paid for, and work thereunder commenced within four (4) months from the date the variance is granted (October 6, 1998). BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Board of Adjustment - October 6, 1998 Page 2 â€¢ The Applicantshall provide a stamped survey ofthesite, verifyingproperly lines and building setbacks. â€¢ The granting of this variancc does not guarantee the properly owner the right to continue parking in the public right-of-way. â€¢ Construction must comply with the Uniform Building Code. LOTS 17 AND 18. BLOCK 9. COUNTRY CLUB MANOR. 765 PONDEROSA DRIVE, LARRYPETERSON/APPLICANT - VARIANCE REOUEST FROM SECTION 17.20.040 (b) (11 a. OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE. This is a request to reduce the required 25'street setback to 10'6". The reduced side street setback would permit a 396 square foot carport to be attached to a proposed deck. Will Birchfield, B uilding Official, presented the staff report recommending approval of a variance to allow a 15' setback from the Columbine Avenue property line which would conform with R-S District regulations which adjoin the property on one and a half sides. Bill Van Horn (speaking on behalf of the Petitioncr) stated Columbine Avenue cannot be extended at Town standards. Applicants do have an option torequesta vacationright-of-way. Mr. Van Horn stated the request is appropriate due to the unique, small property which is unusually steep creating a hardship and approval will not hinder the public or neighbors. Mr. Van Horn requested the Board consider the right-of-way line as a sideyard. A discussion ensued on 'fronts'and 'sidcyards'. Member Sager noted the twodrawings measurements were not in agreement. Petitioner, Jim Mocning, stated he may have made an error on the second drawing. Mr. Van Horn stated if there is an error, the structure will be in accordance with the request for 10'6" if granted. Noting the Board is authorized to grant a variance where the strict application of the ordinance in question will result in unnecessary hardship, and a variance can be granted without harm to other landowners in the vicinity, and without doing violence to the purposes of the code provisions and the overall planning scheme the following motion was made. It was moved and seconded (Jeffrey/Sager) to approve the variance request (allow a 10'6" setback from the Columbine Avenue property line) for Lots 17 and 18, Block 9, Country Club Manor, 765 Ponderosa Drive, with the following conditions and it was approved unanimously. All variances granted by the Board of Adjustment shall become null and void if a Building Permit has not been issued and paid for, and work thereunder commenced within four (4) months from the date the variance is granted (October 6, 1998). â€¢ The Applicant shall provide a stamped survey ofthesite, veri fying property lines and building setbacks. â€¢ Thegranting ofthis variancedoes notpreclude theTown fromimproving the Columbine public right-of-way in the future.

Botic, Recording Secretary MEMORANDUM To: Honorable Mayor Dekker and Board of Trustees From: Bob Joseph, Senior Planner Date: 9-23-98 Subject: Arapaho Meadows Out Lots Background: When Arapaho Meadows was approved in 1986 the Final Plat of the Subdivision included 14.26 acres of open space in four separate outlots (A-D), to be owned and maintained by the Home Owners Association. These outlots were never intended to be available for public recreational use or access. Furthermore, it is Mr. White's opinion that these outlots were never dedicated with the Plat for public access or public recreational use. There is a note on the Plat that reads: "Outlots A through D shall be considered common open space." The Homeowners Association requires additional assurance as to the private status of the outlots and has formally requested the Town to quit claim any interest in these lots. Recommendation: (write as a motion) Approval of Ordinance to quit claim all interest the Town has in outlots A,B,C, & D of Arapaho Meadows Phase 1 Subdivision. ORDINANCE WHEREAS, The Arapaho Meadows Homeowners Association has requested the Town quit claim any interest it may have in outlots A, B, C, & D of Arapaho Meadows Phase 1 Subdivision in order to remove any possible title problems on the property; WHEREAS, the Town of Estes Park has no interest in the aforementioned outlots; WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park it has been determined that it is in the best interest of the Town to quit claim any interest it may have in the outlots to the Arapaho Meadows Homeowners Association. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO. Section 1. The Board of Trustees hereby authorizes the Town of Estes Park and its officials to quit claim all interest the Town of Estes Park has in outlots A, B, C, & D of Arapaho Meadows Phase 1 Subdivision located in the Town of Estes Park, Colorado.

VICINITY MAP NOT TO SCALE LARIMER COUNTY REFERRED ISSUE lA Larimer County Referred Issue lA will be on the November ballot. Its purpose is to enlarge the present weed district, which covers the area between the Weld County line on the east, Livermore on the north, the foothills on the west and the Boulder County line on the south, to encompass the entire county. This will include federal, state, county and private land. The present weed district tax is 0.142 mils. The tax rate covering the entire county will be 0.190 mils, raising about $350,000 additional for the county control measures. These measures include inspections, control recommendations, roadside mowing and spraying, equipment loans, cost sharing with property owners, and other measures developed in the future for control of noxious weeds. If the open range land and mountainous areas are not subject to noxious weed controls, seeds from these areas will be carried by wind, water and other means to the adjacent lands and plains. This could be a disaster to our environment and our wildlife habitat. In fact seeds from these areas now are invading our cities and rural areas. The Estes Valley is experiencing this now. The Estes Valley weed control group is making good progress in its efforts to control noxious weeds in the valley. The town, the recreation district, the National Park, the US Forest Service, EVIA and Â· a number of home owner associations have formed this weed control group and have contributed monies which, with matching grants, are working to control noxious weeds in the valley. The county is acquiring land through the open space sales tax. The new master land use plan will provide residual land through the new Conservation Development process. All of these residual and open space lands will require a management plan which will work to control noxious weeds. The concern of the County Commissioners is the migration of plants and seeds from uncontrolled areas to the managed lands, therefore the need to expand the weed control district to the entire county. If all Colorado residents had worked to control noxious weeds on their properties, the Colorado Noxious Weed Act would not have been necessary. Neither would Issue lA have been on the November ballot. However, the county recognizes the threat to our environment, the threat to our wildlife, the threat to our agricultural way of life, and is offering to work with all Larimer County residents to stem this invasion.
