Manufacturer's License allows manufacturers to conduct tastings and sell vinous liquors of its own manufacturer, as well as other vinous liquors manufactured by other Colorado wineries licensed pursuant to this section or 12-47-403 on the licensed premises of the winery..... Statute 12-47-403(2)(e) C.R.S. Limited Winery License allows manufacturers to conduct tastings and sell vinous liquors of its own manufacturer, as well as other vinous liquors manufactured by other Colorado wineries on the licensed premises of the limited winery and up to five other licensed premises.... State Liquor Code Regulation 47-428 Manufacturer Sales Rooms: 1. The Licensee is required to submit a copy of the application or supplemental application for the additional sales room to the local licensing authority 30 days prior to the opening date if the additional sales room is to be operated for more than three consecutive days (15 days for no more than three consecutive days). 2. The local licensing authority may request that the State licensing authority deny the issuance of a license for an additional sales room or limited winery licensed premises if it has determined that the applicant is not in compliance with local zoning restrictions or any other reasonable restrictions placed upon the neighborhood by the local licensing authority that the proposed sales room is in keeping with the reasonable requirements of the neighborhood and desires of the adult inhabitants. 1 On March 25th, Valley of the Wind LLC dba VALLEY OF THE WIND WINERY, 411 N. Railroad Ave., Loveland, notified the Town of their intention for an additional tasting room located at 332 E. Elkhom Ave. (Barlow Plaza). The tasting room will not be used for wine production, and the licensee representative, Patrick McGibney, has complied with all State regulations. Town Attorney White, Police Chief Richardson, and I discussed this license and confirmed that the use conformed with Commercial Downtown zoning and, as the State Liquor Enforcement Division, not the Town, issues the license, the only Estes Park requirement would be payment of a business license fee. Thus, Business License #136 for the Valley of the Wind Winery was issued. As other such tasting rooms may be requested, the following local procedure will be followed for future submittals: 1. Submittal Deadline. The Licensee is required to submit a copy of the application or supplemental application for the additional sales room to the local licensing authority 15 days prior to the opening if the operation will occur for no more than three consecutive days, or 30 days prior to the opening date if the additional sales room is to be operated for more than three consecutive days. 2. Zoning (47-428). The Town Clerk's Office shall confirm that the proposed site is in conformance with zoning restrictions. 3. Police Department. The Town Clerk's Office shall route a copy of the application to the Police Dept. for their commenUconcem. 4. Business License. With compliance and/or approval of all three items listed above, the licensee must obtain an Annual Business License. If the Town Board has concerns with this procedure or if you desire review of the application, please advise. 2 Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado, April 26,2005 Minutes of a Regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado.

Remaining portion of Block 7 Amendments to the Estes Valley Development Code - First Reading Presentation. Director Joseph noted that the Estes Valley Planning Commission has recommended approval of the Block 7 Text Amendments, specifically: 1. Changes to the "A" Accommodations District 2. Landscaping 3. Density Bonus for Attainable Housing 4. Adequate Public Facilities: Electricity 5. Geologic and Wildfire Hazards 6. Front Setbacks on Corner Lots and Double-Frontage Lots 7. Features Allowed in Setbacks 8. Street Lot-Line Setbacks and Setbacks for Double-Frontage Lots 9. Minimum Lot Width Requirements Board of Trustees April 26,2005 - Page 3 10.

Single-Family Residential Exemptions 23. Minor Subdivision Review 24.Appendix B: Attachment A 25.Appendix B: Attachment B 26. Kennel Definitions 27.Appendix D 28. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Exemption Director Joseph stated the proposed regulation for vacation condominiums in the "A" Accommodations zoning district would limit the use of commercial condominium units as principle residences. Properties with current development plans or that have previously condominiumized would be grandfathered. Legal nonconformities will be allowed to continue and shall be determined on a per lot basis, based on the overall development plan approval or condominium regime. Property owners will have 1 year from the effective date of this code amendment to classify their property as legal nonconforming on the Accommodation Zoning District Grandfathering map filed in the Community Development office. Proposed changes would not prohibit future condominium conversions; however, the units would be restricted to commercial use. Trustee comments/questions were heard and summarized as follows: a significant number of economic opportunities have been lost in "CO" zoning district to multi-family development; the economic base must be protected to keep property taxes low; questioned the intent of the EVDC code language when it was drafted; a map of all grandfathered properties should be posted in the Town Hall for property owners to review prior to the public hearing on 5/24; could a property owner lose their grandfathering status; condominium conversions are a significant loss to the tax base and will increase the projected population; a continued erosion of the sales tax base will lead to a reduction of services; the town could see an increase in high density residential areas with conversions and an increase in code enforcement issues. Staff stated the valley is reaching maximum build out of residential properties; therefore commercial property must be protected from future residential development. Assuming the current trend to condominiumize continues, 88% of the existing accommodation units are at risk for conversion to residential use. Grandfathering status would expire if: (1) a condominium map/association was vacated/dissolved or (2) a property owner removes all structures on a legal nonconforming lot. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) - The proposed change would allow the percentage of the total volume of habitable living space (cubic feet) that is placed below original grade to qualifiy as the percentage of total FAR Board of Trustees April 26,2005 - Page 4 that is exempt. The purpose of the FAR exemption is to encourage good design, efficient land use, and minimize the visible off-site impact of building bulk. Trustee Doylen requested a visual aid be developed to understand how existing grade, below grade, vaulted ceilings, and slope would affect the FAR calculation. Trustee Homeier stated FAR calculations would only apply to commercial and multi-family developments and encourage architects/developers to place more of the structure underground to reduce bulk. Mayor Baudek announced the public hearing is scheduled May 24, 2005. 2. ACTION ITEMS: 1. LIQUOR LICENSING: TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP FROM EVRPD & BHM2 TO EVRPD & WILLIAM AND LORRAINE CARTER, dba HANGAR RESTAURANT AT THE ESTES PARK GOLF COURSE, HOTEL & RESTAURANT LIQUOR LICENSE w/OPTIONAL PREMISE, 1080 S.

The EVRPD is responsible for all operational costs and the Town agrees to provide insurance for the building. The term is for five years beginning 6/9/05. As there were no audience comments, it was moved and seconded (Doylen/Pinkham) the IGA with the EVRPD be approved, and it passed unanimously. 3. CVB BUILDING CONSTRUCTION - GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE. Business Development Director Pickering presented the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) as follows: 9,000 sq. ft. Visitors Center $1,275,000 130 car parking lot $ 400,000 Project contingency and bonds $ 100,000 Total Project $1,775,000 Steve Lane, Basis Architecture, stated no significant alterations have occurred to the architecture and presented updated images of the building. Two interior color schemes were presented that captures the mountain lodge ambiance prevalent throughout the building. Trustee Homeier questioned what major changes had taken place from the original design. Mr. Lane stated the design team eliminated certain expensive detailing without compromising quality; new building codes allowed for money saving changes; and the previously finished second floor will not be finished, Board of Trustees April 26,2005 - Page 5 Director Pickering complemented the design team on their efforts to provide a final design that meets the budget and function of the CVB. David Habecker spoke in favor of the project. Funding is budgeted in the 2005 Community Reinvestment Fund. It was moved and seconded (Newsom/Levine) the GMP for the Visitor Center be approved, and it passed unanimously. Mayor Baudek questioned the timeframe for construction. Mr. Lane informed the Board a building permit application has been submitted to the Building Department and it should be approved within a few weeks; construction mobilization should commence shortly thereafter. The building will be complete by the end of this year. Director Pickering suggested a tentative groundbreaking date of May 2001. 4.

It was moved and seconded (Doylen/Pinkham) Mr. Eisenlauer be so appointed with his term expiring 9/31/08, and it passed unanimously. 5. TOWN ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT. Administrator Repola reviewed the 3 logos currently used by the Town; the Longs Peak mountain scene, bighom sheep and EP/tree developed by EPURA. The current official Town seal is a solitary tree. The objectives of a logo are brand recognition, memorable, and value. Therefore, Staff recommends the EP/tree logo be used for signs, letterhead, business cards, and marketing. Trustee comments were heard and summarized as follows regarding the EP/tree logo: how does the logo connect with Estes Park and the experience; the logo is crisp, contemporary and clean; blends in with the street sign and can not be distinguished from the lettering; each logo serves 2 function: EP/tree for economic development, bighorn sheep for public works and Longs Peak mountain scene for administration; perhaps the softer mountain image could be incorporated with the corporate EP/tree image; the economic development consultant to be hired by Goal Team #1 could give the Town direction on a logo; the logo does not make an emotional connection and is too corporate. Discussion will continue and no further action was taken. There being no further business, Mayor Baudek adjourned the meeting at 9:53 p.m. John Baudek, Mayor Jackie Williamson, Deputy Town Clerk RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado, May 5,2005 Minutes of a Regular meeting of the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE of the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado.

The Authority's construction budget for this project is $210,000 and varied grants and donations have been received.

Chief Dorman reported that a group known as the "East Portal Firewise Coalition", comprised of the Fire Dept., US and State Forest Service, Larimer County and Tunnel Road property owners has been meeting to prepare a CWPP addressing wildfire hazards, fuel reduction and the like for the Tunnel Road area. Federal funding is available for this effort, and Chief Dorman is seeking approval to proceed with assisting the coalition. This effort is also being coordinated with RMNP and the Park is funding a new position-Wildland Urban Interface Coordinator-with office space being provided at the Fire Station. The position (May through the end of October) has been filled by Sue Pinkham. The Committee recommends Chief Dorman be authorized to provide assistance on the development of Community Wildfire Protection Plans. Fireworks Permit - Ride the Divide Rally, June 4,2005 - Request Approval. Event organizers have submitted a request for a public fireworks display as part of a brief theatrical display involving a motorcycle jump by Robbie Knievel at the Fairgrounds.

The station would house existing Fire Dept. vehicles and improve response and liability concerns, particularly during the summer season. The Park is preparing reviewed drawings and the Committee will receive an update when additional information is available. Stating that the Fire District could have funded this satellite station, Administrator Repola reported that Fire District issue would be revisited this Fall. 2. First Quarter Incident Run Reports.

Rocky Mountain National Park Fact Sheet February 2005 Title: Wilderness Recommendation for Rocky Mountain National Park Status/Background: â€¢ In 1964 Congress designated Rocky Mountain National Park , 9-541. .., as a wilderness study area. In 1974 President Nixon recommended to Congress 239,835 acres for immediate Â·Â· :lt , designation and 5,169 acres for potential designation as wilderness in the park. Congress has not acted on that proposal. â€¢ Per National Park Service policy, all parklands that have been <,4 ~ formally recommended for wilderness will be managed to preserve wilderness resources and character until the , legislative process ofwilderness designation has been Â·': 1 completed. , â€¢ Present road, water, and utility corridors, and all developed 4- areas, are excluded from proposed wilderness. Wilderness designation would not alter any current visitor activities or , ~ access within Rocky Mountain National Park, and would U.Â¢1+ allow visitors to utilize the park in the same ways and places I .ah-AL: that they presently enjoy. Lake of Glass and Taylor Glacier â€¢ Federal reserved water rights for park purposes are not an issue related to wilderness designation. Water rights for the park have been adjudicated through the State of Colorado Water Courts. Consequently, no water rights claims for wilderness purposes are needed or desired by . t" the National Park Service. * In the 108th Congress, Representative Mark Udall introduced HR 640, a bill that would designate approximately 95 percent of Rocky Mountain National /$<,ZAW,4/1*~rd//#2/Li~ Park as wilderness.

In 1964 Congress designated Rocky Mountain National Park as a wilderness study area. In 1974, President Nixon recommended to Congress 239,835 acres for immediate designation and 5,169 acres for potential designation as wilderness in the park. Congress has not acted on that proposal. Per National Park Service policy, all parklands that have been formally recommended for wilderness will be managed to preserve wilderness resources and character until the legislative process of wilderness designation has been completed. The following information is provided as a guide for answering questions of park visitors and neighbors who express interest and concern for wilderness designation of Rocky Mountain National Park. It is taken from Appendix B of the original Wilderness Study for Rocky Mountain National Park dated January, 1973, National Park Service Wilderness Management Policy, and Rocky Mountain National Park's Backcountry/Wilderness Management Plan. Discussion The Wilderness Act of 1964 recognizes that alllands which may be included in the National Wilderness Preservation System are not to be managed alike. For example, the Act provides for certain multiple uses in wilderness areas of the national forests designated by the Act, such as existing grazing; mineral prospecting until 1984, and mining (with authority to construct transmission lines, waterlines, telephone lines, and to use timber for such activities); and water conservation and power projects as authorized by the President. However, no such lowering of park values is contemplated by the Wilderness Act for National Park wilderness, since the Act provides, in part, that: " . . . the designation of any area of any park . . . as a wilderness area pursuant to this Act shall in no manner ZIV -~021/Fl--~7*in/ lower the standards evolved for the use and preservation .....44*314/#i of such park...in accordance with the Act of August 25, .......74'=*t/Lu.821% - 9%*inG- 44.'-,9 : , 1916, (and) the statutory authority under which the area was created . . ." The Wilderness Act of 1964 1 , 4 Of course, when Congress designates wilderness areas within national park areas for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System, it may prescribe such standards and criteria for their use and management as it deems advisable. A wilderness designation would finally establish what portions of the park were to be managed as Wilderness and what are not. There would be a clear distinction of what management actions are RE 4,91'44 5 "'I~ acceptable for those lands in and out of wilderness.

This concept is a documented process used to determine whether administrative activities affecting wilderness resources of IlllmillÂ£imi the visitor experience are necessary, and how to minimize impacts. The minimum requirement concept will be applied as a two-step process that determines: 1) Whether the proposed management action is appropriate of necessary for administration of the area as wilderness and does not pose a significant impact to wilderness resources and character; and 2) The techniques and types of equipment needed to ensure that impact to wilderness resources and character is minimized. Motorized Equipment/Mechanical Transport Public use of aircraft for airdrops or for other purposes, the use of motorized vehicles, equipment, generators and similar devices, and bicycles are not be permitted in national park wilderness. Park management may use motorized equipment and mechanical transport for administering the area as wilderness only when determined to meet the minimum requirement concept. Scientific Activities Recognizing the scientific value of wilderness areas as natural outdoor laboratories, the National Park Service will encourage those kinds of research and data gathering which require such areas for their accomplishment. The Service may establish reasonable limitations to control the size of the area which may be used for varying types of research projects within national park wilderness. Natural Resources Management The principle of non-degradation will be applied to wilderness. Natural processes will be allowed, insofar as possible, to shape and control wilderness ecosystems. =22~ 21 Management intervention should only be 6~ -~)92*z~ ..

Non-native species of plants and animals will be eliminated where it is possible to do so by approved methods that preserve wilderness qualities. . r Cultural Resources Management Cultural resources, including historic features that have been included within wilderness will be protected and maintained according to the pertinent laws and policies governing cultural resources, using management methods that are consistent ~, ~~ with the preservation of wilderness character and values. Fire Management /-7,<IA Â£12 -'-1~* Wildfires will be controlled as necessary to prevent unacceptable loss of wilderness values, loss of life, damage to property, and the spread of wildfire to lands outside the wilderness. Use of fire lookout towers, fire roads, tool caches, aircraft, motorboats, .: and motorized firefighting equipment may be permitted for such control. Prescribed fire and hazard fuel reduction programs may be implemented according to approved plans. The minimum requirement concept will be followed for all fire activities in wilderness. Administrative Facilities, Practices and Uses Only those structures, administrative practices, and uses necessary for management and preservation of the wilderness qualities of an area are permitted. These may include, but need not be limited to, patrol cabins, fire lookouts, limited facilities associated with saddle and pack stock control, and radio communication antennas and sites. Management Structures and Facilities Trails, as well as footbridges and horse bridges that blend into the landscape, are allowed in wilderness areas. Primitive campsites, hitchracks, privies and signs are permissible i f necessary for protecting wilderness resources and values. No improvements are permitted that % it are primarily for the comfort and convenience of visitors, such as developed picnic areas. riat Roads and Utilities Public use roads and utility line rights-of-way are not permitted in - national park wilderness. Inholdings Unless acquisition by the United States is assured, inholdings will be excluded from the area classified as wilderness. It will be the policy to acquire such inholdings as opportunities arise, and as they are acquired, f .% to designate such lands as wilderness if they otherwise meet the criteria for such areas. Water Development Projects Water development projects, whether for improvement of navigation, flood control, irrigation, power, or other multiple purposes, are not acceptable in wilderness areas. . 0 --i Boundaries for the wilderness designated will be drawn to exclude existing water storage and water conveyance structures, assuring continued use of Grand River Ditch and its right-of-way; the east and west portals of the Adams Tunnel of the Colorado-Big Thompson Project (CBT); CBT gauging stations; Long Draw Reservoir; and lands owned by the St. Vrain and Left Hand Water Conservancy District, including Copeland Reservoir.

Users must accept certain risks from wildlife, weather conditions, physical features, and other natural phenomena, that are inherent in the various elements and conditions that comprise a wilderness experience and primitive methods of travel. Hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, fishing, climbing, skiing, snowshoeing are appropriate for wilderness. Boating, except with motorboats and airboats, is an acceptable use of park wilderness. Public use of motorized equipment or any form of mechanical transport (e.g. bicycles) are prohibited. Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities im. 21 -16"ill'lli The use of a wheelchair, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 21#86 ; 12#fi#~Fa.- 1990, is allowed in wilderness.

I I . ESTES PARK HOUSING AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements of the Estes Park Housing Authority (the "Authority") have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant of the Authority's policies are described below. Reporting Entity In accordance with governmental accounting standards, the Authority has considered the possibility of inclusion of additional entities in its financial statements. The definition of the reporting entity is based primarily on financial accountability. The Authority is financially accountable for organizations that make up its legal entity. It is also financially accountable for legally separate organizations if Authority officials appoint a voting majority of the organization's governing body and either it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on the Authority. The Authority may also be financially accountable for organizations that are fiscally dependent upon it. Based on the application of this criteria, the Authority does not include additional organizations within its reporting entity. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation The Authority uses funds to report on its financial position and activities. Fund accounting is designed to segregate transactions related to certain government functions or activities. All of the Authority's funds are classified as enterprise fund types. Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent of the governing body is that costs of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges. Major individual funds are reported as separate columns in the financial statements. The financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement fbcus and the accrual basis qfaccounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred, regardless ofthe timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in the financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The Authority has elected not to follow subsequent private-sector guidance. 4 . 4, ESTES PARK HOUSING AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued) Enterprise funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Authority's practice to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. In the fund financial statements, the Authority reports the following major proprietary funds: The Management Fund accounts for the financial activities associated with the Authority's general operations. The Cleave Street Fund accounts for the financial activities associated with the Cleave Street Apartments. The Do Gulch Lot 4 Fund accounts for the financial activities ofthe Authority's affordable housing development activities at Dry Gulch Lot 4. Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets Cash and Investments - Cash and cash equivalents include amounts in deposit accounts and short- term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Investments are stated at fair value. Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are expended as bad debts at the time they are determined to be uncollectible. Prepaid Expenses - Payments made to vendors for services which will benefit subsequent periods are recorded as prepaid expenses. Intedund Balances - During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds. The resulting receivables and payables are classified on the statement ofnet assets as "due from other funds" and "due to other funds" if they are short-term in nature. Non-current portions of interfund receivables and payables are reported as "advances to other funds" and "advances from other funds". 5 I , ESTES PARK HOUSING AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31,2004 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Assets, Liabilities and Net Assets (Continued) CapitalAssets - Property and equipment are recorded at cost or at estimated cost where no historical records exist. Contributed assets are valued at estimated fair market value on the date received. Depreciation of assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Authority capitalizes all assets with a cost of $2,000 or greater and a useful life of one year or more. The following estimated useful lives are used to compute depreciation. Buildings 27.5 years Equipment 5 - 15 years Interest is capitalized during the construction phase. Net Assets - Net assets are restricted when constraints placed on the net assets are externally imposed. Risk Management The Authority is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The Authority carries commercial insurance for these risks of loss. Comparative Data Comparative total data forthe prioryearhasbeenpresented inthe accompanying financial statements in order to provide an understanding of changes in the Authority's financial position and operations. However, complete comparative data in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has not been presented since its inclusion would make the financial statements unduly complex and difficult to understand. NOTE 2: STEWARDSHIP. COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY Budgetary Information Budgets are adopted for all funds as a management control devise, but are not legally required. Therefore, budgetary information is not presented in the financial statements. 6 ESTES PARK HOUSING AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004 NOTE 3: CASH AND INVESTMENTS Cash and investments reported in the financial statements at December 31, 2004 are as follows: Cash $ 697,264 Tenant Security Deposits 6,123 Project Reserves 14.103 Total $ 717.490 Cash Deposits The Colorado Public Deposit Protection Act (PDPA) requires that all units of local government deposit cash in eligible public depositories. Eligibility is determined by state regulations. Amounts on deposit in excess of federal insurance levels must be collateralized by eligible collateral determined by the PDPA. The institution is allowed to create a single collateral pool for all public funds held. The pool is to be maintained by another institution or held in trust for all the uninsured public deposits as a group. The market value of the collateral must be at least equal to 102% of the uninsured deposits. Deposits are categorized to give an indication ofrisk assumed by the Authority at the end of the year. Categog 1 includes deposits that are insured, Categog 2 includes collateralized deposits with securities held by the pledging institution's trust department or agent in the Authority's name, and Categoty 3 includes uncollateralized, uninsured deposits. At December 31, 2004, the Authority's deposits had a carrying balance of $717,490 and a corresponding bank balance as follows: Bank Balance Insured (Category 1) $ 100,000 Collateralized in Single Institution Pools (Category 2) 617,250 Total $ 717.250 NOTE 4: NOTES RECEIVABLE At December 31, 2004, notes receivable consisted ofthe following: Talons Pointe $ 974,500 Estes Investors LLC - Vista Ridge 533,842 Total $ 1.508.342 7 ESTES PARK HOUSING AUTHORITY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31,2004 NOTE 4: NOTES RECEIVABLE (Continued) During 2002, the Authority approved three loans, totaling $974,500, to Dry Gulch LLLP to finance the development and construction ofthe Talons Pointe housing project.

During 2002, the Authority approved loans to Estes Investors, LLC to finance infrastructure and development for the Vista Ridge homeownership project. The balance of the outstanding loans at December 31, 2004 was $533,842. The $250,000 loan will be forgiven when the project is completed. Interest accrues on the remaining loans at annual rates ranging from 4% to 6.5%. These loans will be repaid from the proceeds of permanent financing. In conjunction with the sale of condominium units at the Vista Ridge housing project, the Authority received asecond lien on each ofthe seven units sold during 2004 andthe six units sold during 2003, totaling $363,000 and $306,500, respectively. Should the buyers sell the units at market price, the Authority will receive payment upon sale of the property. The Authority does not expect to collect these amounts and has recorded an allowance in the financial statements for the full amount of the receivable.

NOTES: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Management Agreement The Authority has entered into a management agreement with the Housing Authority of the City of Loveland for contracted services.

Expenses financed by grants are subject to audit by the appropriate grantor government. If expenses are disallowed due to noncompliance with grant program regulations, the Authority may be required to reimburse the grantor government. As of December 31,2004, significant amounts ofgrant expenses have not been audited but the Auihority believes that subsequent audits will not have a material effect on the overall financial position of the Authority. Tabor Amendment In November 1992, Colorado voters passed the Tabor Amendment to the State Constitution which limits state and local government tax powers and imposes spending limitations. Fiscal year 1993 provides the basis for limits in future years to which may be applied allowable increases for inflation and growth. Revenue received in excess of the limitations may be required to be refunded unless the electorate vote to retain the revenue. The Tabor Amendment is subject to many interpretations, but the Authority believes it is exempt from the provisions of the Tabor Amendment. NOTE 9: CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Authority adopted the standards of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements-and Management's Discussion and Analysis-for State andLocal Governments.
