ACTION ITEMS: 1. Presentation of Upper Front Range Transportation Plan - Larimer County Commissioner Jim Disney and Debbie Zermuehlen/Felsburq, Holt & Ulleviq. Public Works Director Linnane reported that in order to meet CDOT requirements for future transportation projects funding, all regions within Colorado (15) must submit a regional transportation plan for years 2000 through 2020. Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig are under contract with Larimer, Weld, and Morgan Counties (Upper Front Range Region) to prepare this plan. All municipalities in the Upper Front Range Region were requested to submit projects for CDOT funding, and the Town is submitting the following projects: (1) Highway 36 improvements west of downtown from Crags Dr. to Marys Lake Road, (2) Western Downtown Bypass between Highways 34/36, and (3) Valley-wide/RMNP Mass Transit System Feasibility Study. The Upper Front Range Region Transportation group held a public forum in Estes Park today at 5:30- 6:30 p.m. prior to this Town Board meeting. Director Linnane introduced Debbie Zermuehlen/Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig. Ms. Zermuehlen presented various maps and information on this project, adding that public meetings are an integral phase that will enable project prioritization. Informational material was distributed to all in attendance. There are a total of 70 proposed projects in the Upper Front Range Plan for a total estimated cost of $485,000; CDOT funding for the statewide transportation plan is $185 Million; which means only 40% of the Upper Front Range projects would be funded. The evaluation criteria was reviewed. Commissioner Disney addressed the Trustees and complimented Director Linnane for his efforts on behalf of the Town, adding that the Town's #3 Project (Valley-wide/RMNP Mass Transit System Feasibility Study) will most likely receive funding and hopefully the West Bypass (#2). Mayor Dekker extended the Board's appreciation to Commissioner Disney, Ms. Zermuehlen and Director Linnane for their presentation/comments. 2. Presentation of Proposed RMNP Wilderness Designation - Tim Divine/RMNP. RMNP Supt. Jones commented on transportation needs in the Park, adding that the Park needs to integrate with the Town to accommodate increasing visitors, project funding, and expressed his concern with the future of Trail Ridge and Bear Lake Roads. Supt. Jones then Introduced Tim Divine, RMNP Wilderness Manager, who briefed the Trustees on future legislation that would designate substantially all of RMNP as wilderness. The area proposed for wilderness excludes roads, water and utility corridors, developed areas, and other inappropriate areas. Wilderness designation would not alter any current visitor activities or access within RMNP, and would allow visitors to utilize the Park in the same ways and places that they presently enjoy. Federal reserved water rights for Park purposes are not an issue as reserved rights have been decreed for both east and west of Board of Trustees - February 23, 1999 - Page 3 the Continental Divide within the Park, and no Federal water rights claims for wilderness purposes will be made as part of this legislation. Areas excluded from wilderness designation are: Trail Ridge and other roads used for motorized travel, buildings and other developed areas; parcels of privately owned land or land subject to life estate agreements in the Park; and water storage and conveyance structures. Continued use would be allowed for the Grand River Ditch and its right-of-way, the east and west portals of the Adams Tunnel of the CBT Project, CBT gauging stations, Long Draw Reservoir, and lands owned by the St. Vrain and Left Hand Water Conservancy District, including Copeland Reservoir. With the wilderness designation, it is not intended to impose new restrictions on already-allowed activities for the operation, maintenance, repair or reconstruction of the Adams Tunnel, which diverts water under RMNP or other CBT facilities, and that additional activities for these purposes will be allowed, should they be necessary to respond to emergencies. Mr. Divine assured the Trustees wilderness designation would not affect current uses such as Trail Ridge Road. Visitation statistics were presented that verify visitation increased with the wilderness designation in both the Olympic and North Cascades National Parks. The Boulder, Grand and Larimer County Commissioners support the concept of wilderness designation, as well . as the League of Women Voters, Rocky Mountain Nature Association, and RMNP Associates, and RMNP is seeking Town support as well. Major points/comments raised by the Board of Trustees include: > Continued horse use? Response: horse use is currently allowed, and this use will continue although impacts need to be mitigated, whether or not the Park receives the wilderness designation. > What does designation accomplish? Response: it is. important to determine wilderness boundaries, i.e.: TraiI Ridge Rd. was built for smaller cars, the pull-outs are now inadequate; ·the Bear Lake corridor is steep and there are safety concerns. The Park desires to move forward with these improvement projects, however,..with such development issues the Park cannot proceed without being aware of the wilderness boundaries. 1 The legislation has been pending for 24 years, other parks have received the designation, why not here? Response: There are many different reasons that stem from local issues. There are 17 park areas awaiting designation, and all requests are heard on a case-by-case basis. ~ Will historic buildings .be affected in the designated area? Response: No. All historic buildings are governed by applicable historic Preservation Lawsdand in wilderness, one of the purposes is to preserve the historic and cultural-themes. 1 Future electric utility line installations? Response: - said · lines would have to be installed in established corridors outside the Board of Trustees - February 23,1999 - Page 4 wilderness boundary. The Park has been attempting to move such items to already-disturbed areas. > Does wilderness designation provide the Park with a tool to cease visitation rights in a specific area, and if so, by what means? Response: yes, however, closure would be based on resource conditions. The designation by itself would not preclude visitation rights: RMNP continues to review impacts that must be mitigated without denying visitation. In Olympic Park, they were experiencing resource degradation with camp sites, and as this area was already impacted,· camping has been directed to more durable areas-the number of people enjoying this activity were not reduced. Reducing the number of visitors is the Park's last option, their desire is to host visitors and educate them on why national parks exist. k Has the Bill actually been voted on? Response: no, the language has not yet been clarified, particularly due to the Grand Ditch and Tunnel issues. 1 What changes could occur in management if the Bill is passed? Response: if the Bill is passed, there is no automatic reduction of visitation-management is charged with the responsibility of protecting the resource while providing visitor enjoyment. RMNP is currently being managed as though it were already wilderness, and any changes would be minimal with formal designation. Designation would provide consistency. 1 Does the Park foresee any future stumbling blocks? Response: unknown, however, it is important to RMNP to keep this designation request moving forward. > Why does recently introduced legislation not include RMNP? Response: current legislation primarily addresses forest areas; as there may be particular language that could be damaging to RMNP, the Park's desire is to have a Bill for them alone. > Would a future bill include any water rights language? Response: water rights for the Park have been addressed with a decree, language of this nature is now unnecessary. 1 What impact would this designation have on weather modification projects outside the Park, and (2) would increasing snow fall or increasing silver iodide content in wilderness designated areas effectively prevent those types of projects? Response: such items are based on the Park status, not wilderness. There has not been any dialog with the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. All have agreed that before a Bill is introduced, improved public understanding must occur. The Park is conducting an outreach program, and their desire is to resolve any issues. Board of Trustees - February 23, 1999 - Page 5 1 With the proposed Vallerwide/RMNP Mass ·Transit System Feasibility Study, how.is the Town assured the Plan is possible if the area is declared a wilderness? Redponse: : a discussion ~'*. · . should be held on detailed boundaries, adequate setbacks, potential exclusion areas for future development, and a flexible wilde-rness boundary. The designation would prohibit new roads, as well as a tramway. There are 17 Park sites being recommended for wilderness, and 44 Parks ~ already have the official wilderness designation; however, the degree of how much land is included in the wilderness boundary varies between Parks. Wilderness changes Park Service land the least, and not identifying the boundary creates/causes problems for future management of the Park. > Construction of new trails? Response: the wilderness designation does not affect the creation of new trails. > Will the designation affect any future construction of campgrounds? Response: following the current General Management Pan, and included within the wilderness boundary, no new major campground facilities- will be developed; RMNP supports such development in the gateway communities. > What if the Bill is defeated? Response: if the Bill is defeated, another action would be required to remove the land from the wilderness study process. Town Administrator Widmer stated that the Town Board does not intend to take action immediately, and questioned whether or not the Board would be - given the opportunity to either support or oppose the designation prior to final submittal? Supt. Jones stated the Park is committed to work with the Town on the specific language to determine what is included in the Bill and take an informed stance. The Board of Trustees stated dialog is very important and their desire is to ensure visitation. Supt. Jones also confirmed that the wilderness designation does not affect any area outside the wilderness boundary. Mayor Dekker expressed his concern with this proposal based on prior decisions made by RMNP Management and their affect on Town projects, and thanked Supt. Jones and Mr. Devin for their presentations. 3. TOWN ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: 1. Presentation of 1999 Organizational Chart. The Municipal Code requires the ·Town Administrator to propose an - administrative organization plan that is ·to be presented for approval to the Board of Trustees. The changes from 1998 include adding the. Senior Center and Stanley Hall Advisory Boards, revising the title, job responsibilities, and direct reports of the Assistant Town Administrator position, adding Housing Authority responsibilities to the Community Development Director position, and adding Platte River Power Authority responsibilities to the Light and Power Director Board of Trustees - February 23, 1999 - Page 6 position. It was moved and seconded (Hix/Doylen) the 1999 Organizational Chart be approved, and it passed unanimously. 2. Sales Tax Report. The 1998 Year-End Sales Tax Report confirms a 12.45% increase from 1997, with $5,383,382 sales tax revenues collected. Although the increase is significant, not all segments of the economy increased. Staff is greatly concerned with the retail segment as a whole, which was up 5%: gift stores were +3.1%, accommodations +21.6%; restaurants +9.1%, and groceries +22.4%. Marketing Director Pickering prepares an Occupancy Report and this report indicates a slight increase of 1.8% in occupancy rates. The average daily rate increased 6.42%, therefore, occupancy must have increased above 1.8% to produce a sales tax increase of 21.6% noted above. The four segments identified above are 78% of the total. The Town must be continually aware of the retail/gifts segment. Discussion followed on the total number of accommodation units in the area (YMCA), the updated Occupancy Report that will be presented at the Community Development Committee, sales tax as it relates to the Conference Center, and EPURA's focus as it relates to generating sales tax revenues. Following completion of all agenda items, Mayor Dekker adjourned the meeting at 8:15 p.m. Robert L.

Director Hinze reported that this third-year event is co- sponsored by the Town, Chamber Resort Association (CRA), and Business Advocates. The Celebrate Estes Committee discussed changes for 1999 to better accommodate businesses not located on the two closed blocks of Elkhorn Avenue. Suggestions included holding the event one weekend only (December 11th and 12th) and providing additional signage for stores in the West Park Center area west of Spruce Drive. Street closures would include Elkhorn Avenue from Riverside Drive to Moraine Avenue, and Moraine Avenue to Spruce Drive. Moraine Avenue will remain open to east and westbound traffic. The projected budget for the event is $18,000 ($5,000 in Town contributions, merchant contributions, and the balance from EPIC [Estes Park Improvement Contribution] Funds). Director Hinze presented a petition received from concerned merchants regarding the street closures and a discussion followed regarding downtown support, location options, signage, event continuation, and funding. Public comments were heard from: Sharleen Westfield, of In the Groove, who supported the concerns of businesses outside the barricaded areas of Elkhorn Avenue and improved signage. She noted that every event will not equally benefit every merchant. However, all events do enhance the community and, therefore, will benefit merchants overall. Pat Wanek, of Winona Knits, reported that even though her business was down both weekends this year, she does support the event for one weekend only. She stated the activities did not extend to Barlow Plaza and questioned whether the event could utilize Bond and Tregent Parks instead of only Elkhorn Avenue. David Thomas, of the CRA, discussed fund raising. He stated that local donations for this event were down by half from the previous year and he stressed the importance of a stronger fund raising effort. About half of the local merchants and a vast majority of event participants rate this event very favorably. BRADFORDPUBLISHING Co. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development Committee - February 25,1999 - Page 2 Dan Via, of Wild Spirits Gallery, stated that he would support a single weekend event and explained that the street closure is the heart of the event and makes this event special. He stated his support for closing Elkhorn Avenue and making every effort to expand the benefits to the outer areas, noting Estes Park does not end at Bob's Amoco. The Board previously approved a three-year commitment to Celebrate Estes and all agreed that in order for this event to be successful, more financial support from local merchants is necessary. Director Hinze reported that a sponsorship notification letter, with a requested return date of April 15th, will be mailed to merchants to determine their level of commitment. The CRA can then decide if there is enough support to proceed with this event. Chairman Barker urged Director Hinze to increase activities outside the barricaded portion of Elkhorn Avenue. Following the conclusion of all discussion, the Committee recommended proceeding with the event for 1999, pending on update from staff on sponsorship. c.

The Committee recommends approval of the Scope of Work from Estes Valley Electric, Inc. as presented. Chairman Barker noted that the difference between the budgeted amount of $30,000 and the estimated cost of $26,786.00 will remain as contingency funds for unforeseen project related expenses. d. Event Evaluations: (2/13 and 2/14) Winter Trail Days - Snowshoe Weekend. This first-year event was very successful and received significant support from Rocky Mountain National Park, merchants, and volunteers. An estimated 3,000 participants attended this event which was held February 13th and 14m. .

BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development Committee - February 25, 1999 - Page 4 c. Conference Center HVAC - Request Approval. Director Pickering reported that due to recurring problems with the Conference Center HVAC system, the Town hired Tolin Mechanical Systems to maintain the system for one year. After a number of major repairs to the furnace/heat exchanger unit located on the rooftop, Tolin recommended replacing the furnace/heat exchanger system with a boiler/hot water coil system. Tolin explained that the furnace was incompatible with the type of heat exchanger used and was a poor original design. They also explained that a boiledcoil type system should have been incorporated with the original HVAC design. The Town received two other opinions, one from the architecUdesigner of the building and one from Wyco Mechanical Services. Both opinions confirmed Tolin's recommendation. The Town solicited bids for the HVAC replacement project from Wyco Mechanical Services ($46,990) and Tolin Mechanical Systems ($69,850).

Federal funds are available for the establishment of this service at a 50% match. Operating expenses are estimated at $29,000 to provide service 2 days a week for 52 weeks. Federal funding would cover $14,500, Special Transit would provide $7,250 and the Town would be responsible for the remaining $7,250. Discussion followed regarding a fee schedule. In order to receive funds in 2000, the Federal application must be submitted by April 1999. Mr. Blackshire reported that services for 1999 for anyone who has a need can also be provided utilizing existing Special Transit funding. All agreed that this would be extremely beneficial to local residents.

Director Stamey reviewed staff action regarding the Pawnee Meadows Subdivision taken following the January Planning Commission meeting and it was determined to put this on the March Planning Commission agenda. 2. SUBDIVISIONS a. Amended Plat, Jones Subdivision, Portion of SW 1/4 of SW 1/4 of Section 24, T5N, R73W of the 6th p.M., 1/2 mile west of MacGregor on Highway 34 Bypass, Larry Jones/Applicant. A letter was presented from Estes Park Surveyors indicating they had been asked by the applicant to withdraw their application. It was moved and seconded (Thomas/Gillette) the Amended Plat of the Jones Subdivision, Portion of SW 1/4 of SW 1/4 of Section 24, T5N, R73W of the 6* P.M., be withdrawn, and it passed unanimously. b. Amended Plat, Lot 1, Prosser Subdivision, 1421 S. St. Vrain Avenue, Anthony Paglia/Applicant. This is a proposal to divide an existing multi-family lot into two new lots. Ross Stephen was present representing the applicants and reviewed the request. There are no plans for further construction at this time. They are in the process of applying for a new access permit through CDOT. Director Stamey reviewed the Staff report. This proposed lot split conforms to the minimum lot area requirements and all other applicable requirements of the Municipal Code. Both lots would share the existing access off Highway 7. An existing access agreement and a note on the prior plat controls the access to this property. The access maintenance agreement should be revised to include both new lots. The applicant's engineer has informed this office that the existing utility lines serving Lot 1A do not cross Lot 1 8, therefore no additional easements are required. Comments from Public Works and Town Attorney White should also be included in the recommendation. Chair Sager invited Susan Kay Sanford to speak regarding the use of the additional building on the properly. She advised it had been used as a garage and office. She also had questions regarding the access BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS agreement that they share with Mr. Paglia. Town has asked for clarification about the access agreement to ensure that it serves all three lots; however, the agreement is between the lot owners. She also made inquiry as to property frontage and it was determined that the new lot had frontage on Highway 7. Access will be in the same location as it is now. It was moved and seconded (Thomas/Gillette) the Amended Plat of the Prosser Subdivision, Lot 1, be favorably recommended to the Board of Trustees subject to the following conditions, and it passed unanimously: 1. A new Colorado Department of Transportation access permit be obtained if required. 2. All lots will need a separate service line and tap, and be noted on the plat. 3. All utility work in the R.O.W. have a CDOT R.O.W. utility permit (that is separate from the access permit). 4. The recorded access easement number be included on the plat for Lot 1 A and 1 B. 5. Driveway maintenance agreement be added to the plat. 6. Adjacent lot to the north be labeled on the plat. 7. The highway slope easement at the northeast comer of Lot 1A be added. 8. New access easement agreement be provided among the three lot owners and recorded with the plat. 9. The dedication statement be modified as recommended by Town Attorney White in his memo dated February 11, 1999. c. Amended Plat, Lots 32, 33, 34, 35 & Portions of Lots 1, 31, & 37, White Meadow View Place, Intersection of Highway 7 and Stanley Avenue, JANCO Properties of Estes Park/Applicant. This amended plat proposes to reconfigure seven (7) existing lots to result in five (5) new lots, and to provide wider right-of-way at the intersection through the removal of existing buildings and re-plating of the right-of-way for Stanley Ave. Lonnie Sheldon from Van Horn Engineering was present and reviewed the request. Director Stamey reviewed the Staff report and comments from Public Works, Estes Park Sanitation District and Town Attorney White. Discussion of this project between the owners and Town staff has centered around the idea of producing affordable housing and improving the intersection, while modestly reducing non- conformance. There is an existing encroachment of a single story frame structure across the boundary between Lots 32A and 33A near the south line. It had been recommended that this encroachment should be removed, or the property line should be adjusted around the structure. Since there are separate mortgage financing on each lot, it was not feasible to adjust the lot line at this time. The applicant, Mr. Lon Kinnie, advised the encroachment was due to a roof overhang and would be removed. He also advised that the storage shed located on the south boundary of Lot 32A would be removed. It was moved and seconded (Hix/Pohl) the Amended Plat of White Meadow View Place Subdivision, Lots 32,33,34,35 & Portions of Lots 1, 31, & 37, be favorably recommended to the Board of Trustees subject to the following conditions, and it passed unanimously: 1. Existing underground utilities be shown on the plat, and easements be dedicated with this plat if required. Any utility taps IRADFOROPUDLISHINGCO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS shared between lots be separated with provision for new taps if required. 2. The existing encroachment of a single story frame structure across the boundary between Lots 32A and 33A be removed. 3. Access to Lot 1 B be restricted to Stanley Avenue and a note to this effect be added to the plat. 4. Mr. Linnane's 12 points in his memo dated February 9,1999, be included. 5. Estes Park Sanitation comments from their memo dated February 10, 1999, be included. It was noted that the owners and the Town will also enter into a development agreement regarding future use and development of the property. 3. ANNEXATION a. Pedersen Addition, Portion of the NW 1/4, Section 31-05-72, 798 Concord Lane, Dean and Glenda Pedersen/Applicants. This is an annexation of a lot with a single family residence under construction, to be zoned E-Estate. Lonnie Sheldon from Van Horn Engineering was present representing the applicants. He had received the comments from Public Works and will comply with them. Director Stamey reviewed the Staff Report and comments from Public Works, Estes Park Sanitation District and Town Attorney White. The existing structure, easements and adjacent properties should be identified on the plat. The origin of the identified access should also be noted. Mr. Sheldon advised he would show both accesses on the plat. It was moved and seconded (Pohl/Burgess) the Annexation of the Pedersen Addition, Portion of the NW 1/4, Section 31-05-72, be favorably recommended to the Board of Trustees subject to the following condition, and it passed unanimously: 1. If the 10 ft. wide utility easement shown on the plat is an existing exclusive easement, have it be labeled as such on the plat. Perimeter utility easements be dedicated with this annexation plat. 2. The Oxisting structure under construction be shown on the plat. 3. Zoning to be E-Estate. 4. To receive town water service, the property be included in the NCWCD. 5.

PORTIONS OF LOTS 24 & 25, BLOCK 10, TOWN OF ESTES PARK, SILVER MOON LLC/APPLICANTS - VARIANCE REQUEST FROM SECTION 17.20.020 (b)(4), 17.16.030 (4), 17.08.030 (31), 17.24.010 (a)(3). Request from the owner to continue until March Board of Adjustment. It was moved and seconded (Barker/Jeffrey) to continue Portions of Lots 24 & 25, Block 10, Town of Estes Park to the March Board of Adjustment, and it passed unanimously. REQUESTS LOT 34, WHITE MEADOW VIEW PLACE SUBDIVISION, 477 SOUTH SAINT VRAIN, LON KINNIE, BILL HANKS/APPLICANTS- VARIANCE REQUESTFROM SECTION 17.20.020 (b)(3). This request is to allow the transfer of six dwelling units from one property owned by the applicants (Lot 34) to an adjacent property across the street (Lots 32 & 33), also owned by the applicants. Director Stamey reviewed the Staff Report. This transfer, if allowed, will permit the widening and re-alignment of the Stanley Avenue and Highway 7 intersection. The units as they exist today are non-conforming as to required lot area and setbacks. In general, staff concurs with the Statement of Intent and, in particular, the "transfer" of the units would reduce the degree of non-conformance. Director Stamey referred to his memo of December 15, 1998, which calculated the required land area with and without the affordable housing density bonus. The Town Staff has discussed this project with the owners with the idea of producing affordable housing and improving the intersection, while modestly reducing non-conformance. Town Staff has recommended the owners first request the required variance prior to taking this development agreement to the Town board for approval. Only the Board of Adjustment has authority to allow variance for density. Staff recommended approval of this variance with conditions. Member Sager inquired why Lots 32A and 33A had not been combined. Bill Van Hom representing the applicants responded that the two lots were being financed under separate mortgages; however, the agreement would be neither lot could be sold separately. Mr. Van Horn indicated that the relocated units would be new construction, in two triplexes. Member Sager inquired if the petitioners owned the various lots in question. Mr. Van Horn noted that the applicants owned Lots 31 A, 32A and 33A. Lot 34A, which is not involved in this request, would be owned by Park National and zoned commercial. BRADFOROPUILISHING.0. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town Administrator Widmer commented that the Town supports this project for the benefits of improving a dangerous intersection and providing up to 83 beds for employee housing. The Town Code for the definition of affordable housing is tied to the Larimer median income. This project would have a ten year commitment to employee housing. The rents for the existing units have historically been below the set affordable rates. Chair Baudek noted that a variance is good for only four months and it appears this would not be enough time to accomplish the project. Director Stamey indicated that the submission of the development plan during this period would be sufficient. Mr. Van Horn noted that a six month period would be preferable to the applicant. It was moved and seconded (SagedBarker) the variance request for Lot 34, White Meadow View Place Subdivision, 477 South St. Vrain, be approved with the following condition, and it passed unanimously: 1. Execution of a written development agreement with the town concerning the Stanley Avenue right-of-way, removal of the existing buildings, and filing of an amended plat, and commitment to affordable housing. An extension for the variance was given with the provision that a Development Plan be submitted within six months. LOT20, BLOCK 18, TRACT006, WEBSTER RESUBDIVISION, 143 BOYD LANE, ART CARUSO/APPLICANT - VARIANCE REQUEST FROM SECTION 17.20.040 (b)(1) b. This is a request to reduce the required side lot setbacks. Building Official Birchfield reviewed the Staff Report. He noted that this lot was less than 1/3 of an acre, with approximately 2/3 of the lot not buildable due to steepness. The unique shape of the lot also qualified it for variance consideration. The Municipal Code requires a minimum of ten (10) feet setback from side lot lines. The applicant is requesting the side setback be reduced to approximately 1.8 feet. The Code cites specific case variances including the slope of the property. This property has approximately 15% slope on approximately 70% of the lot. The 1997 Uniform Building Code requires one-hour fire- resistive construction or prohibits openings less than three (3) feet to lot lines. Another section requires that projections that are less than three (3) feet to lot lines be one-hour fire-resistive construction. Section 503.1 of the Uniform Building Code states that the center of an adjoining public way shall be considered the adjacent property line. Staff is recommending relief because of the orientation of the existing structure, and because of the steepness of the majority of the lot. However, the relief should not violate other Zoning and Building Code regulations. Therefore, recommendation is to provide a required access easement for 157 Boyd Lane, for which there is no current recorded access easement. This would satisfy the Building Code requirements and not require fire resistive construction orprohibit doors/windows on the proposed addition and deck. Member Sager indicated concern over the location of a gas and electric meter in the easement area. Art Caruso representing the applicants clarified that the meters are actually located on the side of the building. He also noted that all three property owners involved have agreed to the easement. Lonnie Sheldon from Van Hom Engineering inquired what would be needed to include the easement. Director Stamey advised they would need to prepare a deed of dedication with legal description and drawings to be recorded with Larimer County. It was moved and seconded (Newsom/Jeffrey) the variance request for Lot 20, Block 18, Tract 006, Webster Resubdivision, 143 Boyd Lane, be approved with the following condition, and it passed unanimously: 1. An access easement for 157 Boyd Lane be provided and recorded.

TOWN OF ESTES PARK Office Memorandum To: The Honorable Mayor Dekker and Board of Trustees From: Rich Widmer 7~4 - Town Admin~rator Date: March 5, 1999 Re: JANCO Development Agreement BACKGROUND: Staff has been meeting with the JANCO principals, Mr. Kinnie and Mr. Hanks off and on since September 1998 to discuss the different elements contained in the proposed Development Agreement. Several Town Board members have participated in some of these sessions as well. Town Attorney White will explain the agreement in as much detail as you desire at the Town Board meeting. The main points are: 1. The Town shall have an option to purchase the right-of-way on the north side of Stanley Avenue at SH 7 for $85,000, with $10,000 to be paid on or before April 1, 1999 and the remainder some time before January 10, 2001. When we exercise the option, the owners would have six months to remove the structures. If we don't exercise the option, we would forfeit the $10,000 paid. When the option is exercised, we deed over the right-of-way on the south side ofthe street. 2. The owners can construct replacements for the structures to be removed, subject to the Board of Adjustment approval of February 9, 1999. 3. The Town is responsible for widening Stanley Avenue before January 10, 5002, if the option is exercised. All costs to widen are ours. 4. All dwelling units on the property are required to be low-income rents at the 50% level for at least ten years. JANCO has requested a financial subsidy of $25,000 per year for five years to upgrade the properties for year-around usage. The payment is made after a report on occupancy and upgrades for the previous year and a budget for the upgrading for the coming year is submitted. The requested subsidy is much lower than that given to Marys Lake Lodge in 1993, especially when the year-around usage is considered. The agreement includes a provision that if the property is sold after five years, our subsidy would be repaid, with interest, at a prorated percentage; i.e., 100% after year 5, 80% after year 6, 60%, and so on. JANCO's proposal and detailed proforma is attached. BUDGET/COST: The $10,000 option payment can be paid out of the contingency account, or another area if you want to cancel something already budgeted. The $75,000 option payment can be added to the 2000 budget if that is your desire. The 1999 budget and 2000 budget both contain $25,000 each year for housing. If you want to increase the amounts, we can consider that and the option payment during the budget process in the fall. RECOMMENDATION: Staff believes this Development Agreement is a win-win approach for everyone. Ultimately, the community receives a much safer, improved intersection at Stanley Avenue and SH 7, as well as low- income year-around rentals and seasonal housing in a great location at a lower cost than past projects. It also underscores the Town's commitment to helping provide as wide a range of housing opportunities as possible. Staff recommends the Mayor be authorized to sign the Development Agreement. ECED¥-EP 12 =31999 Proposal for Employee Housing Assistance from JANCO Properties of Estes Park 16/ d to the Town ofEstes Park Board of Trustees JANCO Properties of Estes Park desires to create an employee housing project by combining two existing motel properties, the Timberline Motel and Lake Terrace Motel. The site is conveniently located and could house approximately 85 to 90 people year around. There is a great demand for housing of this type in the community, but there are few people willing to undertake this type of business. JANCO has purchased the properties in question and is willing to offer them for employee housing. Unfortunately, financial proformas indicate that using the property for housing will result in an annual operating loss of approximately $40,000 (please see attached financial worksheet). JANCO is seeking and has received assurances from the Colorado Division ofHousing and the Park National Bank of Estes for assistance in the form of low interest rate financing. This assistance hinges upon JANCO's ability to qualify for assistance from the Estes Park Housing Authority and the Town of Estes Park. In order to qualify for assistance from the other agencies, they look for community support as a gauge for need and thus the assistance. The Town ofEstes Park has provided this type of assistance in the past in the form of a $52,000 grant to the Mary' s Lake Lodge employee housing project in 1993. This money was used to upgrade the property and was given in exchange for a 5 year commitment to use the property as seasonal only employee housing for approximately 44 people. This 5 year commitment from the Mary'-s Lake Lodge has expired and the future use as employee housing is ..... in question. This breaks down to approximately $235 per person per year assistance given to the Mary's Lake Lodge for 5 month seasonal usage ofthe housing. JANCO is seeking assistance in the form of a 5 year, $25,000 per year grant to be used for upgrading the properties. The properties need approximately $125,000 in upgrades to replace roofs, winterize water lines, repaint, install new gas lines, and insulate cabins in order to have them available for year around use. JANCO is willing to commit to using the property as employee housing for a 10 year minimum. By providing approximately 90 people with housing for the ten year minimum and dividing that number by the $125,000 total assistance provided over the first five years, the town would be committing only $140 per person per year. This is significantly lower than the Town provided the Mary' s Lake Lodge, with a much more convenient location, and better, more private housing. Again, a major improvement will be JANCO's ability to house people on a year around basis. In conclusion J ANCO hopes that the Board of Trustees will seriously consider this proposal as a step in the right direction towards providing much needed employee housing in Estes Park. By providing this assistance, the Town Board not only makes the project economically feasible for JANCO, but demonstrates to the community the desire to take steps toward solving a community need.

Town Clerk . February 16, 1999 The Honorable Robert Decker, Mayor Town of Estes Park P.O. Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 Mr. Mayor, As you know, I have had the honor to serve our community as a Planning Commissioner for the past 15 years. For that privilege, I am both grateful and proud While my business demands in the recent past have precluded regular attendance at commission meetings, we had hoped that replacing my seat would not be necessary due to the activation of the new Estes Valley Planning Commission. However, the timing for that transition has far exceeded original expectations. Recently, my duties as a member of Best Western's International Board of Directors have again increased. As the world' s largest lodging chain, our representation has now grown to include over 90 countries around the globe. A recent reallocation of territories will pose additional constraints to my participation on the commission. Coupled with the additional travel required by the expansion of my territory, the personal practicality of living near our corporate headquarters necessitates relocating my residence to Phoenix, AZ. I anticipate making this change in the near future. While I regret that I will not be able to complete my current appointment, I must respectfully tender my resignation. Since my appointment to the commission by Mayor Dannels in 1984, we have witnessed significant change in our town's land use under the stewardship of our commission. While our process has evolved to match the needs of our unique location and innovations in the planning field, I believe the decisions and recommendations rendered have been stalwartly loyal to the collective values of our community. Our deliberations have remined aloof from the vagaries of short-term, political swings to serve the long-tenn view, which is by definition, the most critical underpinning of our function. Under the diligent leadership of our Chairman, Al Sager, we have consistently maintained the vital foundation of uncompromised fairness, both perceived and actual. I look back with pride on the resolutions to the multitude of issues presented for our review. Yet, I do not lay claim to any legacy or individual contribution beyond that of being one of seven individuals dedicated to embracing those challenges and finding fair solutions. As the commission seats changed over the years, each of those I have served with have worked hard to craft outcomes that balanced the rights of land owners with use regulations promoting the unique character of our town and protecting the fragile nature of our topography. With the advice and counsel of Steve Stamey and our other professional staff, our commission has constantly pursued leading edge thinking in managing the one-of-a-kind lands; unexceeded community pride in our quality of life; and the tenuous and fragile, yet crucial economic viability of this special valley. As I leave this position and a community where I have built a life for nearly 20 years, it is my fervent hope that the balance we have striven for will continue to thrive through the creativity of our leaders and the passion of countless individuals, like me, who, regardless of where we officially reside, will continue to call Estes Park, home. Respectfully Submitted. Mark T.
