At the time the rezoning notifications were sent to property owners, Mr. Adrian, who owned the property at that time, was in poor health and did not respond to the notification. The rezoning request is consistent with the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan and other relevant land-use plans. Adequate public facilities exist to serve both units on the property.

She stated this is a special review application to allow the Park Hospital District to expand and remodel their existing facilities at the Estes Park Medical Center. It will be reviewed by the Estes Park Town Board of Trustees. This is also a location and extent review, which means that the Park Hospital District can override a Town Board decision or a specific condition, provided they follow the procedures outlined in the Colorado Revised Statutes. The property is located at 555 Prospect Avenue and is approximately 9.3 acres in size. It is surrounded by residential uses and zoning. Although alternate sites were considered for the hospital, an addition to the existing building at the current location was the most cost-effective option. The most significant features of the expansion and remodel are as follows: 1. The main building is currently 87,254 square feet in size; an addition of approximately 60,000 square feet is proposed. 2. The new building and remodeled areas will meet current local, state, and federal requirements. This includes federal privacy requirements in addition to building code requirements. 3. The Estes Park Medical Center, which currently has sixteen hospital beds in ten rooms, one operating room, and one procedure room, will be expanded to twenty-two beds in twenty-two rooms, two new operating rooms, and one new procedure room. The old procedure room and operating room will be converted to other uses. 4. The Family Medical Clinic, which was built to house five physicians, but currently houses seven, will be expanded to house nine physicians. 5. One main entrance for all hospital services will be provided on the n6rtheast side of the building in approximately the same location as the current entrance to the Family Medical Clinic. The upper entrance to the Estes Park Medical Center will remain but will not be the primary entrance. 6. The lower parking lot will be remodeled and expanded. Thirty-two parking spaces, including five accessible spaces, will be added, raising the total parking spaces from 182 to 214. No remodel or expansion of the upper parking lot is proposed. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 3 January 17, 2006 7. The main parking lot entrance will be relocated farther to the north along Fir Avenue, and a turn lane will be added. The existing entrance to the |ower parking lot will be removed. 8. The rightiof-way connection to Stanley Circle Drive will remain; however, asphalt will be removed and access will be blocked by a curb. Vehicular emergency use of the right-of-way will remain. 9, The Park Hospital District has requested that the Town enter into a lease agreement to allow the District to use the unoccupied Prospect Avenue right- of-way immediately north of the hospital for parking, access, and landscaping. The proposed term of the lease is twenty years with an option to extend the lease for an additional twenty-year term. The Public .Works Committee reviewed the proposed lease on January 12, 2006 and recommended that Town Board approve the lease. It will bd considered by Town Board in conjunction with the special review. 10. Sidewalk will be constructed along, Fir Avenue. Staff has discussed a sidewalk connection across the parking lot from Fir Avenue to the main entrance. 11.A service area for loading and trash collection will be provided on the north side of the building. 12.The detention basin will be reshaped and resized. This basin drains a 45-acre portion of Prospect Mountain and is one of the largestdetention basins in the TovOn. 13.The Park Aospital District requested variances to building setbacks, parking- lot setbacks, and building height. 'These requests were reviewed and unanimously approved by the Estes Valley Board of Adjustment at their january 10, 2006 meeting. No expansion of the Prospect Park Living Center is proposed.

The proposed development complies with the applicable density and dimensional standards set forth in the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC), with the exception of minimum building setbacks on the north and east sides, and maximum building height. The Estes Valley Board of Adjustment approved variance requests for thede standards on January 10, 2006. The proposed floor-area ratio is approximately 37%, and the prpposed impervious coverage is 53.3%. It should be noted that the proposed uses are not subject to the floor-area or impervious- coverage limits in the RM zoning district. ' A preliminary stormwatdr managemenVdrainage repoft and a preliminary grading and drainage plan was submitted for review. The proposed detention pond is one of the largest in the Town and is one' of the few that releases into an underground stormwater system. The pond will detain water from a 45-acre Prospect Mountain drainage basin in addition to drainage from the hospital site. The current detention basin will be removed; the proposed detention basin will be located in the northeast corner of the site. A ramp into the basin-will be provided for maihtenance access and 'a retaining wall with a maximum height of four feet above the adjacent sidewalk is proposed. The final drainage report and plans must be prepared in accordance with the recently adopted Larimer County Stormwater Design Standards, which include water-quality standards, andmust be submitted pribr to, or with, the building permit application. Sidewalk will be provided along Fir Avenue and Moccasin Circie Drive. Staff recommends providing a pedestrian connection from the sidewalk along the street to RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 4 January 17, 2006 the main entrance of the hospital. The current design of the detention pond gives adequate room to provide this sidewalk connection. The Park Hospital District requested a variance to allow the proposed parking lot to be built up to the northern and eastern property lines in the locations shown on the development plan; the variance was approved by the Estes Valley Board of Adjustment on January 10, 2006. The required number of landscaped islands is not provided; however, given the unique use of the property and the constraints inherent in expanding and remodeling the existing facility, staff is supportive of the plan. The proposed number of trees and shrubs exceeds the EVDC landscaping requirements. Seventy-one trees are required and 126 are proposed; 172 shrubs are required and 188 are proposed. The location of trees and shrubs in the Prospect Avenue right-of-way is limited by the fact that plants cannot block future access to utilities in the northern portion of the right-of-way. It is also limited by the requirement that trees and shrubs be placed far enough from the parking lot to allow vehicles to overhang the curb without damaging the landscaping. These requirements leave a limited area in which to plant trees, and staff is supporlive of the applicant's landscaping plan. A total of 214 parking spaces are proposed; 199 are required. There will be no changes to the upper parking lot. The lower parking lot will be redesigned and increased from 93 to 125 parking spaces. Five more handicapped-accessible spaces are provided than are required, although some of the existing accessible spaces in the upper parking lot do not meet current standards. Also, the accessible spaces are proposed to be eight feet wide but are required to be nine feet wide; this may result in the loss of one proposed accessible space. Bicycle racks will also be provided. Pavement markings, including directional arrows, center turn lane at exit, pedestrian crosswalk, stop sign, and turn-lane divider line, should be provided at the main driveway entrance to the hospital, and should be reviewed and approved by Public Works. Staff recommends making the driveway in front of the main entrance one- way. Parking-lot lighting is proposed, but no lighting is proposed along the northern district buffer, which is the area closest to neighboring residences. Although lights up to twenty-five-feet tall are permitted in parking lots with more than 100 spaces, the applicant proposes to limit the lights to 17.5 feet in height, helping to minimize the impact on nearby residences. Given the twenty-four-hour use of the hospital, staff does not recommend restricting the hours of parking-lot illumination. The applicant proposes two delivery areas. One will be on the north side of the building, close to the residential neighborhood; deliveries will be made between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Planning staff believes the hours are reasonable and should not result in conflicts with neighboring residences. A second delivery area will receive deliveries for the Dietary Department as early as 6:30 a.m. but is not located as close to neighboring residences. The applicant proposes to remove the Stanley Circle Drive connection, which will eliminate hospital traffic in this residential neighborhood. Staff has received many complaints over the years about this cut-through traffic. Adequate public facility improvements are required to be installed or guaranteed prior to issuance of the first building permit, and improvements are required to be installed concOrrent with the impacts of the development. The lot is served by the Estes Park Sanitation District and b9 Town water. There will be significant upgrades to sewer, water, and electric lines, with final line sizes and capacities to be RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 5 January 17, 2006 determined at the building permit stage. ISO calculations were routed to Fire Chief Scott Dorman; no concerns were expressed. The calculations show that the two new fire hydrants proposed, along with the two existing hydrants, will provide sufficient fire flow. All new electric lines will be placed underground, and an overhead line near the northern property line will be buried. A traffic impact analysis was submitted, estimating an increase of 272 vehicle trips per day. This would rai66 the daily trips generated by the hospital from 1,138 to 1,410, which Cornerstone Engineering and Surveying has stated is not a significant increase. Thd traffic ifnpact analysis was based on the assumption that 153 of the 250 hospital employees will work on any given day. The hospital expansion will not result in an increased number of employ6es. The addition of a turn lane at the hospital entrance will improv& safety. The subniitted plans comply with road design and construction standards, except that the two southern driveways should have radii that are compliant with the stanoards and should have crosspans installed. The expansion and remodel will be completed in phases over a period of approximately eighteen months; construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2006. A detailed phasing plan addressing all aspects of construction, including paving, drainage, and landscaping, must be submitted with or prior to submittal of the buildingpermit application. This request was submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff and to adjacent neighbors for consideration and comment. Comments were received from the Town of Estes Park Department of Building Safety and Public Works Department,.from Town Attorney Greg White, ar)d from Estes Park Sanitation District. No comments were received from neighboring properly owners. If the recommended conditions of approval are met, the development plan will comply with all applicable standards set forth in the Estes Valley Development Code and will be consistent with the policies, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and any other relevant plans.. The application mitigates, to the maximum extent feasible, potential adverse impacts on nearby land uses, public facilities and services, and the environment. ' Public Comment: Kerry Prochaska of Cornerstone Engineering and Surveying responded to a question from Commissioner Hull regarding the lack of lighting in the northern area of the lower parking lot. He stated the building architects had completed a lighting study that showed there will be enough foot-canlies of light to provide adequate lightinD in that area without the light shining onto neighboring properties. Commissioner Pohl questioned whether the third-floor portion of the proposed addition would interfere with the helicopter landing pad on the roof of the hospital. Mr. Prochaska stated it would not. Mr. Prochaska stated that work is in already in progress on the planning staff's recommended condition§ of approval, noting that given the magnitude of this 20- million-dollar project and only three variances requested, there will be minimal impact on the neighborhood. He stated the appliant expects to break ground in April, with building donstruction beginning in the summer and completion expectdd in the summer of 2007. Linda Thierrin, Estes Park Medical Center Adminstrator of Patient Care Services, stated the currentbuilding was built in 1975. The addition and remodel will provide for private rooms, an upgrade of the rehab program, improved operating rooms, and additional funding from Medicaid. She thanked the Commissioners for their consideration of the project. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 6 January 17, 2006 It was moved and seconded (Pohl/Hull) to recommend approval of the Special Review 06-01, Estes Park Medical Center, Hospital Addition, located in Section 25, T5N, R73W of the 6th PM, to the Estes Park Town Board of Trustees, with the findings and conditions recommended by staff, and the motion passed unanimously.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Regular Meeting of the Estes Valley Board of Adjustment January 10, 2006, 8:00 a.m. Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall Board: Chair Al Sager; Members Cliff Dill, Chuck Levine, John Lynch, and Wayne Newsom; Alternate Member Jeff Barker Attending: Chair Sager; Members Dill, Levine, Lynch, and Newsom Also Attending: Planner Chilcott, Planner Shirk, Recording Secretary Roederer Absent: , Director Joseph Chair Sager called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. and welcomed new Board of Adjustment member, John Lynch. The following minutes reflect the order of the agenda and not necessarily the chronological sequence. 1. CONSENT AGENDA The minutes of the December 6,2005 meeting. Chair Sager noted that the December 6,2005 variance request for PID 3525121069, 221 East Riverside Drive, Richard & Sandra Slaydon/Applicant, which was continued at the December meeting, has been withdrawn at the request of the applicant. A motion was made to accept this change by Member Levine and seconded by Member Newsom. There being no objections, the consent agenda was accepted. 2. HOSPITAL ADDITION, Located in S25, T5N, R73W of the 6~1 PM, 555 Prospect Avenue. Applicant: Park Hospital District, Estes Park Medical Center - Variance reauest from Estes Vallev Development Code Section 4.3, Table 4-2, and Section 1.9.D.1 to allow a 2-foot setback for buildings and structures in lieu of the minimum reauired 15-foot front-yard setback: from Section 7.11.F to allow portions of the parking lot to be built up to the northern and eastern propertv lines in lieu of the minimum required 15-foot setback: and from Section 1.9.E to allow a maximum buiding height of 43 feet from finished grade in lieu of the maximum 30-foot height limit in the RM-Multi-Fam#v Residential zoning district Planner Chilcott reviewed the staff report. She stated this property is zoned RM- Multi-Famiiy Residential and that the surrounding properties are residential. The applicant intends to build an addition onto the hospital an8 requests variances from the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) to allow a two-foot building-and- structure setback rather than the minimum required fifteen-foot front-yard setback, and to allow the parking lot to be built up to the northern and eastern property lines in lochtions shown on the development plan rather than the required minimum fifteen-foot setback. The applicant is also requesting a variance to allow the building height to exceed the thirty-foot height limit required by the EVDC. The new main entry to the building will be a maximum of forty-three feet from finished grade, which is proposed to be one foot higher than the current grade elevation of 7,536 feet. A third floor of approximately 9,000 square feet is proposed over much of the addition to house mechanical and electrical equipment and ductwork. This portion of the addition is proposed to be forty feet tall. Because the first and second floors of the addition will match the height of the existing building, there is little room for ductwork betwben the floors. Staff is supportive of enclosing this equipment. The additional height required to enclose the equipment has been proposed by the building architects based on their experiences with other hospital buildings they've designed. The applicant may be able to reduce the proposed height and/or area of this third floor as the building RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Board of Adjustment 2 January 10, 2006 design is finalized. For the sake of comparison, the tallest portion of the existing building, the parapet, is 44.5 feet tall. At the direction of planning staff, the applicant requested a variance to the floor-area ratio. After further review, staff determined that in the RM zoning district, the floor- area ratio applies to multi-family use only. At the time the agenda was published, the applicant was also requesting a variance from EVDC Section 7.5 to allow less landscaping than is required; the applicant has since revised the landscape plan to meet the code requirements and is not requesting the variance. In addition to the variance application, the Park Hospital District has submitted a special review application that will be reviewed by the Estes Valley Planning Commission on January 17, 2006 and by the Estes Park Town Board on January 24, 2006. The variance application and special review application are location-and- extent reviews, which means that the Park Hospital District can override a Board of Adjustment or Town Board decision or a specific condition, provided the District follows the procedures outlined in the Colorado Revised Statutes. The Park Hospital District has also requested that the Town enter into a lease agreement to allow the District to use the unoccupied Prospect Avenue right-of-way immediately north of the hospital for parking, access, and landscaping. This will be reviewed by the Public Works Committee on January 12, 2006 and Town Board on January 24,2006. The most significant features of the expansion and remodel are as follows: 1. The main building is currently 87,254 square feet in size, and a 49,757- square-foot addition is proposed. This is a 57% increase. 2. The new building and remodeled areas will meet current local, state, and federal requirements, including federal privacy requirements. 3. The Estes Park Medical Center, which currently has sixteen hospital beds in ten rooms, one operating room, and one procedure room, will be expanded to twenty-two beds in twenty-two rooms, two new operating rooms, and one new procedure room. The old procedure room and operating room will be converted to other uses. 4. The Family Medical Clinic, which was built to house five physicians, but currently houses seven, will be expanded to house nine physicians. 5. One main entrance for all hospital services will be provided on the northeast side of the building in approximately the same location as the current entrance to the Family Medical Clinic. The upper entrance to the Estes Park Medical Center will remain, but will not be the primary entrance. 6. The lower parking lot will be remodeled and expanded. Thirty-two parking spaces, including five handicapped-accessible spaces, will be added, raising the total parking spaces from 182 to 214. No remodel or expansion of the upper parking lot is proposed. 7. The main parking lot entrance will be relocated and a turn lane added. The existing entrance to the lower parking lot will be removed. 8. The right-of-way connection to Stanley Circle Drive will remain; however, asphalt will be removed and access will be blocked by a curb. Vehicular emergency use of the right-of-way will remain. 9. Sidewalk will be constructed along Fir Avenue. 10.A service area for loading and trash collection will be provided on the northern side of the building. 11.The detention basin will be reshaped and resized. This basin drains a forty- five-acre portion of Prospect Mountain and is one of the largest detention basins in the Town. Planner Chilcott stated there are special circumstances associated with this lot and building that are not common to other areas or buildings similarly situated, and RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Board of Adjustment 3 January 10, 2006 practical difficulty may result from strict compliance with the Code standards. The requested variances will not have the effect of nullifying or impairing the intent and purpose of either the specific standards, the Estes Valley Development Code, or the , Comprehensive Plan. The Estes Park Medical Center is a unique use in the Estes Valley. The Park Hospital District contracted with a professional to complete a cost- benefit analysis of purchasing an undeveloped parcel of land and building a new hospital versus expansion ati the current location. This analysis resulted in the decision to expand at the current location. The lot has physical constraints that limit development posmbilities. Although the lot is slightly more than nine acres in size, the developable area is much smaller. Approximately a third of the property, is steeply sloped, heavily treed, and not well suited for hospital expansion. The existing building and parking lot location and configuration restrict how and where expansion can occur. Planner Chilcott stated the proposed variances are not substantial given · the proposed use of the property and that the essential character of the neighborhood would not be substantially altered.,If the variances are not granted, significant redesign of the hospital addition would be required, and the variances offer the least deviation from the regulations that will afford relief. The proposed addition will improve the appearance of the hospital, and the driveway entrance redesign, along with the addition of a turn lane and sidewalk along the eastern property line, will improve vehicular and pedestrian safety. The expansion of the hospital will improve the quality and level of services provided to residents, including residents of adjoining properties. The removal of the Stanley Circle Drive connection will eliminate hospital traffic in this residential neighborhood. Staff has received many complaints,over the years about this cut-through traffic. This request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff and to neighboring property owners for consideration and comment Comments were received from Town Attorney Greg White and from neighboring property owner, Virginia D. Hampton, who emailed planning staff regarding her objection to the granting of any variances. Public Comment: Doug Faus, CEO of Estes Park Medical Center, addressed the Board. He stated he has made every effort to meet with neighbors from the beginning to discuss plans for the hospital addition. He noted the site provides a number of challenges and that, given scope of project, the variance requests are small. He stated the Park Hospital District has made an effort to work with the Town and meet the Development Code guidelines wherever possible- to minimize the impact of the addition on the community. Member Levine questioned Kerry Prochaska of Cornerstone Engineerifig and Surveying about the requested two-foot setback for the addition. Mr. Prochaska stated the building design had been done by Prochaska and Associates of Omaha, Nebraska. Chair Sager requested the applicant clarify the statement of intent, noting the phrasing regarding the encroachment of the current hospital building into the setback is unclear. He also asked for assurance from the applicant that efforts to decrease the third-floor building height and area will continue. Mr. Faus stated it is the Park Hospital District's desire to do so in an effort to minimize costs. At Member Lynch's request, Chair Sager clarified that he was not asking for, a change to the profile of the roof line but for a reduction in the height if it was possible to do so while accommodating the equiprhent and providing space to work on it. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Board of Adjustment 4 January 10, 2006 It was moved and seconded (Levine/Newsom) to approve the three requested variances, with the applicant's agreement to minimize the height and tota square footage of the third-floor portion of the addition, and with the findings and conditions recommended by staff; the motion passed unanimously. CONDITIONS: 1. Compliance with the submitted plans. 2. A registered land surveyor shall set the survey stakes for the foundation forms. After the footings are set and prior to pouring the foundation, the surveyor shall verify compliance with the building variance and provide a setback certificate. 3. A registered land surveyor shall verify compliance with the parking-lot setback variance. 4. A certificate stamped and signed by a registered land surveyor verifying that the foundations are set per the elevations shown on the building permit is required to be on the job site for the Building Official at foundation inspection. A benchmark (control point) should be established on the lot for the surveyor to verify existing grade prior to construction. 5. Approval of the lease agreement with the Town for use of the Prospect Avenue right-of-way. 3. REPORTS Planner Chilcott updated the Board on the variance approved on December 6,2005 for 189 & 191 East Riverside Drive, stating the applicant, Paul Whyard, will construct the first-floor portion of the addition in the near future but will postpone the second- floor portion of the addition. She noted that variance approval must be acted upon within one year of the date of approval and stated that Mr. Whyard may appear before the Board of Adjustment again regarding this addition. Architectural elevations and floor plans for the proposed addition will be available for Board members to review at the February meeting. There being no further business, Chair Sager adjourned the meeting at 8:36 a.m. Al Sager, Chair Julie Roederer, Recording Secretary . TOWN of ESTES PARK Inter-Office Memorandum February 8,2006 TO: Town Board FROM: Bill Linnane 0*/ SUBJECT: Park Hospital lease agreement - Prospect Avenue Right-of-Way Background: A development plan for the Estes Park Medical Center has been reviewed and the Public Works Committee (PWC) has recommended its approval. Through the PWC, the hospital requested that the portion of Prospect Avenue R.O.W. that connects Stanley Circle Drive to Prospect Avenue be leased for its use, thereby removing any road connection. (Refer to the rough sketch of proposal.) The PWC has recommended approval of this request. Miscellaneous background info: • The Town has no plan to use the R.O.W. • The existing driveway connection to Stanley Circle Drive will be deleted (except for emergency vehicles). This will eliminate higher-speed vehicle and pedestrian conflicts. • Ihe lease agreement will prohibit future road connections along the hospital's north property line between Stanley Circle Drive and the existing Prospect Avenue roadway. The rough sketch illustrates the proposed concept. As mentioned earlier, the removal of this "short-cut" section will reduce future vehicle and pedestrian conflicts. Cost/Budget N/A Action: Staff recommends approval of the agreement. BL/lb 1-1 VA .a . .L 00 4.4 6/ 03 4 5 6 4 1 C: © 4 IA // --- /10 ¤ 21 Ve *4*DOWE Q '41 / 03 4.3 - - 444 Y \ 2-6.,6.'

White RE: Park Hospital District Lease Agreement BACKGROUND: The Park Hospital Distiict has requested that the Town lease to the Park Hospital District a portion of Prospect Avenue contiguous to the north portion of the Hospital District's property to be used by the Hospital Disttict in the expansion of the Estes Park Medical Center. The Town has the statutory authority to lease property owned by the Town including the unopened portion of Prospect Avenue. Also, the Town is not legally required to use dedicated right-of-way for street purposes. This Ordinance approves the Lease Agreement between the Park Hospital District and the Town for a portion of Prospect Avenue to be used by the Hospital District as a parking area and as a landscaped buffer to the residential properties located north of the Hospital. The lease also requires the Hospital District to construct the new improvements to the Estes Park Medical Center in accordance with the approved Development Plan. The Colorado Statutes require any lease of Town property for more than one year to be by Ordinance. This lease is for three consecutive twenty year terms with the Town having the right to terminate the Lease Agreement at the beginning of each term upon one hundred eighty- days notice prior to the beginning of any subsequent twenty year term. BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: There are no budgetary implications STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the Staffs recommendation that the Ordinance be adopted and the Lease Agreement be approved. LEASE AGREEMENT This Lease Agreement, effective this day of , is by , and between the Town of Estes Park, a Colorado municipal corporation (Town), and the Park Hospital District, a Colorado quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision (District), is as follows: Town owns real property, described upon Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, which is adjacent to the northwesterly boundary of real property owned by District which is described upon Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

The Goal Team received three proposals for purchase of Lot 4. Of these proposals, only two met the specifications in the request for proposals. The team conducted interviews with the two parties in late September. The Team unanimously selected the Estes Winds, LLC proposal and submitted a comparison of the two proposals to the Town Board. The Board then authorized staff to enter into negotiations with Estes Winds, LLC to sell the parcel. The initial concept was to sell the land and use the proceeds to construct a performing arts theatre at the Stanley Park Fairgrounds. Though the theatre project is still being evaluated for viability, any proceeds from this sale will be used at the Fairgrounds even if the theatre project does not come to fruition. In either case the proceeds will be used to enhance the cultural, recreational and entertainment aspects of the Fairgrounds which are consistent with the conditions stated in the original deed from F.O. Stanley. Budget The sale price is $1,250,000. The terms and conditions of the sale will be presented in a contract by Town Attorney White at the meeting. Action: Staff requests approval of the terms and conditions of the Real Estate Contract to sell Lot 4, Stanley Addition. 1 REPUBLIC V PARKING 1 SYSTEM Town of Estes Park Parking Study 1 11 4i; 4 -,10 -1 TOWN OF ESTES PARK 44 9417 4 ~ ),1/ Estes Park, Colorado g.

INTRODUCTION The availability of downtown parking is a significant issue for many municipalities. Parking problems are often a sign of success of a downtown area. The demand for parking is directly correlated to growth or decline in the availability of business, employment, shopping, and dining opportunities. Due to the efforts and investments of property owners, merchants and the municipality, the Estes Park downtown area continues as a vibrant economic core of the City. The provision of ample and convenient parking to accommodate the needs of the business and other activities is key to the continued vitality of the downtown. There is currently a perception that the parking is currently a problem in the Estes Park downtown area during the peak season. Merchants and property owners in the downtown area have indicated to the Estes Park City Council that parking is of concern to their continued business success. 2. PURPOSE OF STUDY The following study was prepared by Republic Parking System and is intended to provide an inventory and analysis of parking in the downtown area of the Town of Estes Park. The primary purpose of the study is to create a comprehensive and integrated system of downtown parking that provides convenient and safe parking in a cost effective manner for visitors, employees and residents that is consistent with the vision for a vibrant and active downtown. The study focuses on the following principles: STUDY PROCESS Upon selection of Republic Parking System as the primary consultant on the study, the Republic Parking System team began receiving and analyzing a range of existing data on all aspects of current parking resources, management and operations. A study methodology that combines statistics, perspective and experience was employed. Republic Parking re-evaluated existing parking supply use and operations through an examination of previous parking studies, current parking supply and use of data through field surveys with the visitors, residents, and business owners of the area. In addition, focus group meetings were held with a variety of downtown stakeholders such as employers, public works staff, police department staff, transit operators and property owners. From these interviews, issues as well as potential solutions were fleshed out. A series of follow up meetings, interviews and data clarifications then lead to the findings and recommendations of this report. e 4 of 116 1 /3 ~ REPUBLIC 7 ~ PARKING ...TE. 1 3. PARKING SUPPLY 1 The parking supply in the Town of Estes Park consists of publicly available off-street parking lots and on-street parking. All of the parking is available to anybody regardless of trip purpose. The Town of Estes Park has established restrictions on some of the parking spaces to encourage turnover and maximize utilization. For this study, the inventory consisted of 14 surface lots and 11 streets for a total of 1,366 parking spaces. Both the map below and the chart on the next page outlines the study area. 1 i 0 4 4 1~1 1 -3 t22:*IN F 4 1. f #44*i T) L N „44 OATH ENTRANCE ROCKY ~~~\ 1 NATIONAL PARK 4 ~t ~ r= E %\\ LU <-MHOBft__ CLD 1 11___~ -3, j ---\\7 3,# 14___ « f Al_L f'~ IvER ~\ F ft - 5\16-«/H- -,14 sue=% 161 2 , u.iG,06. )*<69+ CLEAVE ST , 1 1, c! t IfiBUPS- -~ 1191 -*s~PuULL-6-»>~-Gri- ~13- 4 NORTH ENTRANCE ROCKY -43--/r ...L 2/14et,/15 7 MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK L 7 »41 4 i Pri In 3 C 1 {t 10 °°000' _Ju_2944 PUBLIC PARKING MAP +00 Rr 3\ O ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL »J - 1 1,0 //5:55%3221 RIVER 142==1 L:555# ¥ 'll/« j L»> (24,~N REPUBLIC 7| 11 '1.-4-41 PARKING h '&71 1 ~<8<12- <t 1 1 I . 1 - REPUBLIC~ ~ = PARKING Parking Space Breakdown TOTAL AVAILABLE TOTAL TOTAL TOTAL TOTAL MAP# PARKING LOT # OF SPACES HC 30 MINUTE 3 HOUR RV 1 OLD LUMBER YARD 86 4 2 ICE HOUSE 44 1 3 TREGENTPARK 20 1 4 BIG HORN 41 1 5 COFFEEBAR 20 1 19 6 MUNICIPAL 279 8 2 7 7 WEIST 121 2 3 8 AMERICAN LEGION 48 1 9 DEL'S/ A&W 43 2 10 WEST RIVERSIDE 38 1 11 POST OFFICE 94 3 31 60 12 DARK HORSE 97 2 95 13 CHILDREN'S PARK 52 2 14 BROWNSFIELD'S 6 1 1 TOTAL 989 30 33 174 11 TOTAL AVAILABLE TOTAL TOTAL TOTAL TOTAL STREET PARKING # OF SPACES HC 30 MINUTE 3 HOUR RV A BIG HORN DRIVE 35 1 B WEST ELKHORN 18 C WEIST LOT 18 D MORAINE AVE 35 35 E MACGREGOR AVE NORTH 124 F VIRGINIA DRIVE 19 19 G PARK LANE 41 1 H EAST ELKHORN AVE 6 1 6 1 CLEAVESTREET 43 J EAST RIVERSIDE DRIVE 6 6 MACGREGOR AVE SOUTH 32 3 13 TOTAL 377 6 13 66 0 e 6 of 116 I REPUBLIC 7 I PARKING 4. UTILIZATION ANALYSIS A prelude to effectively enhancing any parking operation is a thorough analysis of the locations to determine the exact trends and activity levels associated with each customer group. In this section, we have shown a Utilization Analysis for each location that reveals the daily parking trends including the exact number of daily customers in each facility by the hour and the maximum number of spaces occupied by daily customers at the facility's peak hour of activity. Before the study began, Republic Parking System completed an inventory of all the on-street and off-street parking in the study area. Through this inventory, the total parking supply, location, type of parking (on-street or off-street), use restrictions and total accessible parking were determined. To establish the amount of daily traffic each lot generates on a regular basis, Republic Parking System used the data that was accumulated through daily lot checks completed during the period of July 27 through July 31'2005. Our main objective was to determine how many vehicles were parking on the lots during each day of the study. To accomplish this, we wrote down the license plate numbers for all vehicles on each lot around 9:00am each day. Subsequent license plate checks were then completed making note of any new vehicles that entered the lots since the first check. Depending on the day, there were a total of 4 to 8 checks completed on each lot. By completing these checks, we were able to verify the total number of patrons occupying a parking space, the average number of vehicles parked at each hour and the time of the day in which the lot was the most occupied (peak period). We then used this information to compute the average and peak occupancy percentage and turnover ratio for each lot. The license plate checks also allowed us to determine the amount of time each individual vehicle was parked on the lot which was useful in helping determine how many of the vehicles were likely employees or owners of a business. We have listed the locations separately to help illustrate how the lots and streets performed during each day of the study. We then compiled an overall analysis of the city as a whole, all locations combined, and have shown it at the end of this section. The surface lots are listed in alphabetical order followed by the streets. e 7 of 116 .

The next busiest day was on Friday, July 2gth as we had 1,154 spaces (84%) occupied between the time frame of 2:00pm and 3:00pm. For the remaining three days, the city was never more than 80% occupied which is what most municipalities across the country try to achieve. Earlier in this section, we included a "Turnover Ratio" ranking report that showed how much each lot turned over during the busiest day of the study and the average number of times each space turned over throughout the week. As you can see on the chart above, the on- street spaces turned over 2.47 times and the off-street spaces turned over 3.28 times during peak periods. On average, each space (1,366) in the city was occupied by 2.26 vehicles, which is a very favorable turnover ratio. As expected, the surface lots turned more frequently than the street spaces. We also included two Length of Stay Reports, one by total vehicles and one by percentages to show how long patrons were occupying the parking spaces. Overall, seventy-nine percent (79%) of the vehicles vacated their space within a three hour time frame. Another e 72 of 116 I REPUBLIC 7 = PARKING IV-/ 16% of the vehicles were on the lot from 3 to 6 hours and the remaining 5% of the vehicles occupied a space for over 6 hours. For the entire week, we counted a total of 15,370 license plates which was an average of 3,082 vehicles per day utilizing one of the parking spaces. (Please note that this figure is off 8 vehicles due to the East Elkhorn spaces only being counted on just three of the days.) We also estimated a total of 237 employee vehicles parking in the 1,366 total spaces. The lots having the highest percentage of employees were the Municipal Lot, Weist Lot and Big Horn Lot. The day having the most employee vehicles was on Thursday. Obviously, this number is at best an estimated number due to not having an employee vehicle database to reference. To determine our number, we counted the total number of vehicles having the same license plate parking on one of the lots at least three of the days and a minimum of four hours.

First, they were asked if they felt a shuttle operation could help the parking situation. Most of the owners (69%) felt that a shuttle operation from a remote lot 1 mile away from downtown would indeed help the situation. However, thirty-percent (31%) felt that it would not help solve the problem. The owners were then asked if they would utilize the shuttle and whether they would encourage their employees to utilize the shuttle. Of the owners who support the shuttle, 53% said they would take advantage of the shuttle and 63% of the owners said that they would encourage their employees to utilize the shuttle. Out of the 69% that would support the shuttle, the following comments were made: • The shuttle needs to run consistently and with frequent stops. • It should be used for Visitors only. • It should be used for special events or season only. • It should be used for employees only. • It should have operating hours that are a half hour before opening and 1 hour after closing. • Some owners stated that they support the shuttle but that they would not be able to use it because they need quick access to their vehicle to move merchandise. • Some feel the shuttle should resemble the trolley. The owners that would not recommend the shuttle to their employees had the following reasons. • They would not want their older staff to ride. • They would not want late night employees to ride. • They have concerns that it would make employees late for work. Paae 82 of 116 - REPUBLIC~ ~ = PARKING ly.... What do you feel needs to be done to improve parking in Estes Park? The final question on the survey "what do you feel needs to be done to improve the parking?" had numerous answers. To begin, 36% of the owners felt that a parking garage was the best solution to the city's parking needs. The following chart illustrates the owner's recommendations for possible locations. GARAGE LOCATIONS Post Office, Cleave Street, 2.04% 4.08% Municipal Lot, ~ 10.20% ~ Weist Lot, In addition, the following comments were made about a parking garage: • Too expensive to build • Traffic entering and exiting the garage will cause more problems • Need to build the garage underground or have a low profile garage • Need to build more than one garage • Have a garage with retail space on bottom and sales tax can pay for it • Build the garage out of downtown The second recommendation from the owners was regarding parking enforcement. A small amount of the owners (20/0) felt that there should be no time limit on any of the parking lots. However, some felt that the time limits should remain and all the lots should have a 3 hour limit. Furthermore, some of the owners felt that we should not ticket patrons who are violators. If the ticketing system must remain in place, then many feel that the ticketing needs to be more consistent and there should not be any exceptions to the rules. Also, some believe that the visitors should not be ticketed at all and it should only be enforced with the locals who violate the parking guidelines. e 83 of 116 I REPUBLIC 7 = PARKING The third recommendation from the owners concerned management of existing spaces. For instance, better advertising of existing parking on websites, brochures, etc. Some additional comments are: • Better signage directing visitors to parking lots • Use the police to direct visitors to parking lots • Re-stripe lots to better utilize space • Use full signs on lots to eliminate visitors having to drive around • Stop taking parking spaces away in order to add more retail space • Charge for parking on closer lots and use this money to build a parking structure • Relocate all RV parking outside of downtown area • Make parking lot repairs to make lots safer • No more extension of river-walk • Lots are not really full, need better utilization before building any new parking spaces take place • Change traffic flows to parking lots • Make Elkhorn Pedestrian Only e 84 of 116 ~ REPUBLIC 7 ~ PARKING ..... 6. VISITOR SURVEYS The following information has been collected from surveys that were completed by visitors of Estes Park. The majority of the customers who responded to our surveys were conducted in the parking lots surrounding the downtown area; However, some were conducted by walking down the streets of the downtown area and asking visitors. The questions that were asked are as follows: 1) How long did it take you to find a parking space? 2) How many lots did you try to park in before this lot? 3) Would you be willing to pay for parking if it meant quicker access to a parking space? 4) Would you be willing to ride a shuttle from a remote lot 1 mile away from downtown? 5) How often do you come to Estes Park? 6) Please rate the overall parking situation in Estes Park: DATE: TIME OF DAY: # 1N PARTY Adults Kids LICENSE PLATE # LOCATION: e 85 of 116 - REPUBLIC~ ~ I PARKING How long did it take you to find a parking space? 1-4 min 135 56.02% 5-9 min 47 19.50% 10-14min 27 11.20% 15-19 min 16 6.64% 20-24 min 9 3.73% 25 min+ 7 2.90% 241 100.00% How many lots did you try to park in before this lot? 0 Lots 87 36.10% 1 Lot 82 34.02% 2 Lots 45 18.67% 3 Lots 20 8.30% 4 Lots 6 2.49% 5 Lots 1 0.41% 241 100.00% The first question that the visitors were asked was, "how long did it take you to find a parking space?".

Reconfigure the Weist Parking Lot The current layout on the Weist Parking Lot has a total of 121 spaces plus another 150 feet of space for RV parking. Unfortunately, because of the existing layout, a big portion of this lot does not get utilized efficiently. Therefore, our first recommendation that should be done immediately, is to re-stripe the middle section of the lot that currently contains 26 parking spaces. During the study, there were many times in which the only spaces remaining were in this section. However, because the spaces are only seven and a half feet wide, many of the spaces were not accessible due to larger vehicles parking over the lines. On Saturday, between the period of 1:00pm and 8:00pm, this lot was completely full with the exception of this area. Unfortunately, because of the high number of oversized vehicles, these spaces could not be used. The width of these spaces are not the only problem. The length of the stalls are also a problem as they are only 15 feet. Typically, trucks and vans (both mini and conversion) are 16 to 19 feet in length. Currently, the middle section is only 30 feet wide which by industry standards, is six feet short. During our visit, we noticed on numerous occasions, vehicles struggling to back out of a space on the north side of the lot because the vehicles in the middle section were sticking out to far. The RV Parking spaces on the south side of the lot next to the rock wall are underutilized as we did not see one RV parked in this area throughout the entire study. Because of the configuration of the middle section, we believe patrons would rather park in other lots to avoid having their RV damaged. Therefore, we believe it makes most sense to remove the RV parking spaces from the Weist Lot and move the middle section ten feet (10') closer to the rock wall. The stalls should be lengthened by 3 feet on each side and the width extended from 7 1/2 feet to 8 1/2 feet. In addition, another two stalls could be added on the west side of the bay which would give the lot an additional 2 spaces. With the number of lost stalls due to the current configuration and the addition of two more spaces, the lot could easily handle six to eight more vehicles. The total expense of graying out the existing spaces, re-striping new spaces and painting arrows on the ground would be approximately $175 to $225 by a professional striping company. We have included on the next page both the current layout and the proposed configuration. e 94 of 116 I REPUBLIC 7 I"' PARKING IVE".

Signage Program During the study process, Republic Parking System identified a number of areas where additional traffic signage would be helpful to managing the vehicular traffic. For instance, in certain areas of the city, there is no signage directing the customers to other parking lots once the close-in lots become full. During the survey process, first time visitors to Estes Park stated they were confused on exactly where to go for the best and most convenient parking. Republic Parking System worked with a professional sign company in Denver to figure out the best way to improve the current graphics plan. One thing they recommended was to keep it simple and use one theme throughout the city. Currently, there are several different types of signs which we believe go unnoticed. When customers first drive into the city, the first type of sign they see is the type shown below that is located at the entrance of the Municipal Lot.

However, in talking to the visitors, a majority of them did notice these signs and proceeded directly to the parking lot in which the sign was intended. Because this type of sign is noticeable, we are recommending using the architectural sign shown on the previous page but changing it to a white background with the green reflective lettering. The areas we feel these signs should be installed are shown on the next few pages. Children's Park Entrance Currently, a high number of vehicles pull into the Children's Park entrance located off of East Riverside Drive. They will circle the lot numerous times with the hope of finding a parking space. If they are unsuccessful, they exit out of the lot and proceed north towards Elkhorn Avenue and either continue north towards Park Lane or turn left and go west down Elkhorn Avenue. When patrons were asked about this, many stated they were unaware of any parking lots south of Elkhorn Avenue. Therefore, we recommend placing a sign just to the south of the Children's Park entrance stating additional parking down Riverside Drive. 1/4 1' I 'kit W .R 67.

Develop an Employee Parking Program A. Designate Employee Parking Lots The results from the Store Owner and Visitor surveys told us that one of the main reasons patrons feel there is a parking problem in Estes Park is because there is not enough parking spaces. Of all the complaints the store owners say they hear, 34.20% gave this as their reason. This was twenty-five percent higher than the next most common reason which was "they do not hear any complaints". However, based on the results of our car counts, it would appear that this statement is not true as the average occupancy for the entire city was just over sixty-seven percent (67.13%) during the week of the study. Even at the peak period of 2:00pm on Saturday July 30th, there were still 156 total parking spaces not being utilized. In looking at the results of the study, both the surveys and car counts, it is easy to understand why patrons have this perception. Although 56% of the patrons can find a space within one to four minutes, the other 44% say it takes anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes. Although they eventually find a parking space, the patrons have to drive to two or more lots to find any openings. In most instances, patrons will drive to the lot that is closest to their destination. Since so many of the shops are right on the main drive (Elkhorn), they usually drive to the lots that are the most visible, in this case, the Municipal, Coffee Bar, Children's Park and American Legion lots. Once these lots filled up, they then proceeded to the next closest lot which are the Dark Horse Lot, Post Office Lot, Weist Lot and the street spaces along Park Lane, Virginia Drive, Moraine Avenue and MacGregor Avenue South. If patrons were able to find a parking space on their first or even second attempt, they would most likely have a different perception. It is important to remember that spaces were open, just hard to find. Although increasing signage will help to correct this problem, another thing that would greatly help is designating employee parking lots. In looking at the results of the store owner surveys, almost 57% of the owners say they park as close as possible to their store. In addition, 56.62% say their employees park as close as possible. Obviously, with this type of attitude, the close-in and most desirable spaces will always fill up first making it appear there is not enough of a parking space supply. By designating several of the outlying lots as "employee parking lots" and getting buy in from the owners to use these lots, it would relieve the pressure on the parking inventory in the middle of downtown. Based on the car counts during this week of the study, it would appear that the best lots to designate as employee parking lots would be as follows: Del's A&W Lot - During the study, this lot was only occupied 26% of the time, which was the lowest of the 25 parking areas. On average, only one employee vehicle was found to be parking in this lot and it is currently striped for 42 vehicles. Old Lumber Yard - This lot was the second most under utilized location in the city as the average occupancy was just 34.88%. At its peak period (6:00pm on Thursday, July 28% there were 24 open spaces. This lot is currently striped to handle 86 vehicles. e 102 of 116 I REPUBLIC 7 i PARKING I¥'r!,0 MacGregor Avenue North - This strip of spaces can hold 124 vehicles, yet only 35% of them are occupied on an average basis. At its peak period, there were only 96 vehicles parked along this street. We found an average of 13 employee vehicles in this area. Municipal Lot - Although this was a very popular parking lot for both employees and visitors of Estes Park, we did not see this lot become completely full during any of the days. The average occupancy for the week was 73.12%. This lot had the highest number of employees as the average for the week was 58. On Thursday, we found a total of 83 employee vehicles. West Riverside Drive - For the most part, these spaces are utilized by employees and should continue to be used as such. These spaces are the furthest south and not desirable by visitors of Estes Park. On average, we found just 7 daily parkers and 17 employees using these spaces. There are a total of 38 spaces in this area. Weist Lot - Although this lot came close to filling on four of the five days, the average occupancy was just 75.21%. It was a very popular lot for employees as we saw an average of 24 per day and had a maximum of 35 on Thursday. We recommend using the west portion of this lot for an employee valet service which could handle 30 to 35 employee vehicles. During the study, our counts showed there to be an average of 237 employee vehicles parked at one of the 25 locations. However, on Thursday, we found 310 employee vehicles which was the highest total for the week. If we assume that 310 spaces need to be available to satisfy the total number of employee and store owner vehicles, these six lots would more than cover the demand. To better illustrate this, we have included a chart below showing the total spaces available on each lot. Parking Total Number of Spaces Location Available for Employees Dels A&W 43 Old Lumber Yard 86 MacGregor Avenue North 124 Municipal Lot 83 * Weist Lot 35 ** West Riverside 38 Total Spaces 409 Total Number of Employees 310 * Spaces Available for Visitors 99 * Peak number of employees found during study ** Total available spaces with employee valet service e 103 of 116 I REPUBLIC 7 I PARKING B. Eliminate the "3 Hour" parking policy One of the more common complaints the store owner's told us they hear from patrons in regards to the parking is that the "3 Hour" time limit on a few of the lots is too short. Many of the comments made to our staff was that the town was driving away customers who would most likely spend more money shopping if they weren't so worried about getting a parking ticket. Although this may be a perception by some visitor's, it was never mentioned to our staff during the study. In looking at the Length of Stay Report - By Percentages, it appears the majority of the patrons park less than three hours, regardless if there is a 3 hour limit or not. Overall, seventy-nine percent (79%) of the 15,370 total vehicles we saw during the five days left their parking space within three hours. When comparing the busiest locations in relation to their occupancy and turnover ratio, the percentage of patrons leaving the lots are relatively the same. For instance, the Dark Horse and Coffee Bar Lots have "3 Hour" spaces and the percentage of patrons leaving within three hours on these lots are 84% and 82% respectively. The Tregent Park and American Legion Lots do not have any "3 Hour" parking spaces and the percentage of patrons leaving these lots within three hours is 86% and 84% respectively. The lot that had the highest average occupancy during the week was Children's Park Lot. For the five days, 74% of the patrons left within three hours which is below the previously mentioned four lots. However, because we found an average of 18 employee's parking in this lot, these numbers are skewed and most likely would have been over 80% had one-third of this lot not been occupied by employees. Therefore, it is our opinion that since the majority of the patrons park less than 3 hours, whether or not it is enforced with "3 Hour" signs, that the 3 hour policy be eliminated and the signs removed. This would not only please the store owner's but also give visitors additional time to shop. However, this can only happen if an employee program is created and enforced (detailed in the next section), and certain lots be designated as employee parking lots. C. Create a Parking Policy and Institute an Enforcement Program In order to provide convenient parking to the visitors of Estes Park and eliminate the store owners perception that the city has a parking problem, the lots and streets should be monitored on a daily basis. Along with creating designated employee parking lots and eliminating the "3 Hour" spaces, a parking policy should be established. When putting together the policy, it should specifically address the areas that are designated as "Visitor" spaces and the areas designated as "Employee and Visitor" spaces. Based on the areas mentioned in section A on the previous pages, we have put together the following chart that outlines each of the recommended areas. e 104 of 116 ~ REPUBLIC 7 ~ PARKING VISITOR ONLY SPACES VISITOR & EMPLOYEE SPACES PARKING LOT TOTAL SPACES PARKING LOT TOTAL SPACES AMERICAN LEGION 48 DEL'S A&W 43 BIGHORN LOT 41 MACGREGOR NORTH 124 BIG HORN DRIVE 35 MUNICIPAL LOT 279 BROWNSFIELD 6 OLD LUMBER YARD 86 CHILDRENS PARK 52 WEST RIVERSIDE 38 CLEAVE ST 43 C0FFEE BAR 20 TOTAL SPACES 570 DARK HORSE 97 EASTELKHORN 6 EAST RIVERSIDE DR 6 ICE HOUSE 44 MACGREGORSOUTH 32 MORAINE AVE 35 PARKLANE 41 POST OFFICE 94 TREGENT PARK 20 EMPLOYEE VALET SPACES VIRGINIA DR 19 WEST ELKHORN 18 WEIST LOT 22 WEIST DRIVE 18 WEIST 99 TOTAL SPACES 774 As you can see on the chart, we have designated 774 spaces that we feel should only be used for visitors of Estes Park. The policy should then stipulate the rules and regulations for these 774 spaces. For example, any employee or store owner parking their vehicle in one of these spaces while they are at work will result in the vehicle being ticketed and/or towed at the owner's expense. A citation policy should then be agreed upon that monitors violators of the parking policy. After the parking policy is created, it is then very important to set up a method of enforcement. A fair and consistent enforcement plan is vital to maintaining enough parking spaces for the visitors of Estes Park and ensuring the success of the parking plan. Our recommended staffing plan includes two enforcement personnel to continuously monitor the 774 visitor parking spaces. The two enforcement personnel would work between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm Wednesday through Sunday. The enforcement personnel would continuously walk each of the "Visitor Only" locations and electronically chalk tires with a Klancy handheld ticket writer. Based on our experience with these types of handheld ticket writer's, we have found that our employee's can typically e 105 of 116 I REPUBLIC 7 = PARKING ...r.. check 100 parking spaces per hour. Therefore, having two full time enforcement personnel on duty will allow you to check approximately 1,600 parking spaces per day. Since we have designated 774 spaces in the enforcement area, each space would be checked two times per day. It is our recommendation that the enforcement personnel have specific routes they would be required to follow. When putting together the routes, it is important to utilize each officer's time while ensuring they are not having to back track along an area that was already checked. Obviously, the time it takes each personnel to complete their route will vary depending on the number of vehicles parked and total tickets written during the route. Obviously, having the Klancy handheld ticket writer will help in electronically tire-chalking each automobile in the parking lots and streets; print warning violations; keep fresh and accurate information; and maintain an accurate database of information. An important part of any enforcement program is the penalty phase of the program. After a license plate is found on one of the visitor parking lots/streets over a 3 hour time frame and a total of three times, a parking violation will be issued. Upon the issuance of a parking violation, a systematic tracking of the violation must be in place. Any repeat offenders who continuously disregard the Town of Estes Park parking policies should then be dealt with as specified in the parking policy. Republic Parking System recommends the following structure of penalties: 1. First Ticket - Warning without Fee 2. Second Ticket - $10.00 Fee 3. Third Ticket - $25.00 Fee 4. Fourth Ticket - Tow Vehicle is previously assessed fines are not paid The utilization of the Klancy technology can provide you with access to a collection agency which specializes in the collections of unpaid parking fees. It is our understanding that the Klancy handheld ticket writer machines have been purchased and therefore, have included just the costs of administering this program.

Create Short Term Employee Spaces A. Implement Employee Valet on the Weist Parking Lot As mentioned in both the survey results and the last section, over half of the store owners stated that they and their employees park as close as possible to their store. When questioned about the shuttle service, although many (69.34%) believe it would help the parking situation, a big concern with the shuttle was not having their vehicle close enough to their business. The common theme to why these questions were answered this way was because of the necessity to move merchandise from one location to another and the handling of the proceeds at the end of the day. Since this was obviously a concern to many of the store owners, we believe it is important to create a few short term parking spaces in key areas of the city. O u r fi rst recommendation is to create an employee valet service on the west side of the Weist Parking Lot. With the current configuration of the parking spaces, the west end of the lot has a large area of open space in the middle that could easily be utilized by stacking the vehicles "New York" style. Our recommendation is to hire a valet attendant to work between the hours of 9:00am and 8:00pm Wednesday through Sunday. This person would control the 22 spaces on the far west end of the lot, 12 spaces on the south side and 10 spaces on the north side. In the morning, employees would leave their vehicle with the attendant and the cars would be parked in each of the 22 spaces. Once these spaces became filled, the attendant would then begin parking the vehicles in the middle of the lot by stacking them in front of the other vehicles. By having the ability to park the vehicles in this style, you could create an additional 10 to 15 spaces without actually losing any current parking spaces. In addition, the vehicles would be close to the employee's place of business in the event they need to move merchandise or run to the bank. We have listed below the costs of running this type of valet service. In addition to the regular costs associated with a normal valet service, we have listed the price of an attendant booth to house the employee and vehicle keys for security purposes. Employee Valet Service Estimated Costs Total Days (22 weeks x 5 days) 110 EXPENSES Payroll - Attendant (11 hoursx $12.00/hourx 110days) $14,520 Payroll Taxes $1,597 Insurance - General Liability $220 - GKLL $1,250 - Valet Insurance $2,000 - Workers Compensation $871 Supplies $325 Telephone $300 Uniforms $300 Auto Damage $2,000 $350 Signage Costof Attendant Booth $7,500 Total Estimated Costs $31,233 Paae 1076 1-18 - REPUBLIC 7 I PARKING B. Create short term employee spaces In addition to the valet service, we believe a few short term parking spaces should be created on a few of the close-in parking lots. Again, this would help solve their problem of having quick access to their business to handle any immediate needs. Our recommendation is to install signage on the lot that reads "Short-term Employee Spaces - 30 minute limit". A policy for these spaces would need to be created and strictly enforced by the enforcement personnel listed in the previous section. Based on the results of the car counts, we believe these spaces should be created in the following areas: Big Horn Lot 3 Spaces Post Office Lot 3 Spaces Virginia Drive 3 Spaces e 108 of 116 1 ~ REPUBLIC 7 - PARKING ...rt. 5. Visitor Shuttle Program This section discusses the option of a shuttle bus program for visitors as well as those with high profile vehicles wishing to visit downtown. One challenge for the Town of Estes Park is to provide parking for recreational vehicles and trailers. Currently, there are some parking spaces designated for RV and trailer parking in the Municipal Lot as well as the Weist Lot. During the study days, no trailers were counted or observed in the Weist lot designated area. This may be due to the inconsistent space sizes for the middle of that lot. If vehicles park outside the designated parking area, a vehicle with a large turn radius will not be able to perform the necessary turn maneuvers to position their trailer or RV into the designated parking spaces. Another option, which would also open up additional parking for visitors, is to commence a shuttle operation to originate at the fairgrounds and drive a continuous loop with stops at the bus cut-out in front of the city offices and at a designated point near the post office parking lot. In our study, we determined that this route could be accomplished within 15 minutes. For example, a shuttle leaving the fairgrounds at 9:00am would arrive at the bus cut out at city hall at 9:06, leave city hall after a two minute wait at 9:08 and arrive at the post office at 9:10. It could then leave the post office lot at 9:12 and be back at the fairgrounds at 9:14, ready to begin the route again by 9:15. This would allow the Town of Estes Park to establish a specific timetable for the three destinations of the shuttle.

Other Options Golf Cart Shuttle Service An option to our recommendations would be to devise a plan and route for a transportation cart service for MacGregor Avenue North. This street has 124 designated parking spaces proceeding north from the city hall offices. During the study dates, many of these spaces were not utilized. This may be due to lack of signage, addressed elsewhere in this document, or distance from the central business district. Assuming no employee parking area is designated elsewhere in the parking system, the transportation cart may serve as an option to designate employee parking in the on-street parking spaces in this area. This plan calls for a modified golf cart, similar to the one shown below, to shuttle employees and/or visitors to the city hall near Park Avenue from the spaces on MacGregor Avenue North. This cart could drive a continuous loop during the peak season to shuttle people to/from their vehicles. - 1 1 k 1 IlIJ--fl 06-- - We would recommend operating this cart during the hours of 8:30am - 8:30pm Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the months of May - September.

Based on the responses from the visitors of Estes Park, 46% would be willing to pay for parking if it meant quicker access to a parking space. This option would be recommended for the lots with the highest turnover and/or the most popular close-in parking locations. Based on the study results, the lots we would recommend beginning this program on are: Children's Park, Coffee Bar and Dark Horse. Several options exist in the parking industry for facilitating paid parking on a surface lot. Of note are stand alone pay and display machines and manual slot box operations. Both of these options would require personnel to ensure the monies are collected and the machine or slot box are operating correctly. Pay and display machines are electronic units that are installed on a parking lot, typically in a central location, that allow a patron to purchase a parking pass for a specified time period and amount. The customer then places that pass or receipt on their dash for verification by parking enforcement personnel. The parking enforcement officer can do a quick visual check of the parking lot to ensure each person has paid the correct rate for the specified time by examining the receipt on the dash. An example of a pay and display machine and sample receipt are shown below. The estimated cost of a machine such as the one shown is $17,000 including installation near an available electricity source and periodic maintenance. 8 6.1' Il•e #. 1 ~ ~1>¢,7-i "0 12' Te,/ Fe•,n JAN 06. 2001 18.00 PM Place tnil recept lace up on clash 01 ve,hi=;c 49/ Slot box operations are manual and are also installed near a central location on a parking lot. These boxes require the patron to fold dollar bills and/or coins and place the posted parking fee in the numbered slot corresponding to the parking space the person parked in. A sample of a slot box is shown on the next page.

They then go to the parking space and double check that no cars are in any spaces not paid. Once the parking enforcement officer has done their box check, they "reset" the box by clearing the money into a hopper to be picked up and later deposited. The cost of a slot box is estimated to be $1,500.00 including installation and periodic maintenance. ige 115 of 116 ~ REPUBLIC V - PARKING ...TE. Parking Structure One of the questions posed to the Store Owners was "What do you feel needs to be done to improve the parking in Estes Park". Although some were totally against the idea, 36% said that a parking garage was the best solution. Many felt that this would alleviate the problem altogether and could be paid for by sales tax generated by proceeds. Although it may make sense to study the feasibility of a new parking structure on a few of the key lots in the city, such as the Weist Lot, Big Horn Lot or Municipal Lot, one thing that should be considered is the high cost of building parking garages. In Denver, the average cost of building an above ground structure is between $15,000 and $18,000 per parking space. For below ground structures, this cost can grow to as much as $22,000 per space. Based on where Estes Park is located, it is probably safe to assume that the cost is at least 20% higher which means the cost of an above ground structure could run between $18,000 and $22,000 per space. For discussion purposes, lets assume a 300 space garage is constructed on the Weist Parking Lot. The cost of building the structure would be approximately $6,000,000 if you multiply 300 spaces by $20,000 per space. The average costs of running parking garages in downtown Denver is between $275 and $350 per space, depending on the hours and method of operation. Please note that this number does not include any depreciation or amortization costs. If we use $300 per space as an average, the annual costs to operate the garage would then be approximately $90,000. Lets then assume the city will charge patrons $1.00 to park in the garage and the garage turns 1.5 times per day during the peak season. Over a period of 110 days (22 weeks x 5 days (Wednesday - Sunday)), the garage could generate $49,500 in parking revenues. Since the garage would not be needed during the late fall and winter months, you could save on operating costs by shutting the garage down completely. Using this scenario, even by cutting your operating costs in half would only get you to a breakeven point. Again, this does not include the cost of the money to build the parking structure. If you consider that the shuttle service we recommended in the previous section only costs approximately $50,000 per year, you could operate the shuttle for 120 years before it meets the cost of a parking structure. e 116 of 116
