TIME 08/25 09:25 PGS. 1 SEND DOCUMENT NAME TX/RX INCOMPLETE ----- TRANSACTION OK 5869561 KEPL 5869532 Trail Gazette 5861691 Channel 8 6353677 Reporter Herald 5771590 EP News ERROR ----- 1 Town Board Meeting, August 26,2008 (#10) Good evening, Last meeting you voted on whether the Planning Commission was correct in its application of the Development Code when it approved Wapiti Crossing. There was really no question that the developers had done everything required of them and that the Commission was correct, but in an effort to placate the neighbors you allowed a lengthy rehash of the entire project and in the end, two of you said the Commission was in error. The property in question was zoned R-M for residential multi-family, not WS for wildlife sanctuary but still the animals received major consideration. You empower the Division of Wildlife to rule on whether a disturbance to wildlife would be significant; but to them, any loss ofwildlife and habitat is significant and it's theirjob to say just that. And when all was said and done, the project goes forward with no one a winner. When some of you suggested that maybe the Code should be fixed, what did you mean? Should it be more nebulous so that mma<ZI* developers and neighbors around even more, or do you plan tobetter define whatisallowed? Ihope forthe latter. f- CAN Se '3€RWED I am not here to gut the Code as one gentleman suggested, but rather to point out the problematic, nonsensical portions of the code and its subsequent variable interpretations that create the discontent shown at the last meeting. Finally, when I spoke last meeting; with all due respect; I called the neighbors a mob. Not out of vindictiveness, but as a factual description of the cheering and booing that occurred at both hearings, and because of some verbal abuse I received while sitting amongst them. That kind of intimidating behavior is not only allowed but encouraged by your inability to limit discussion to the issue and by your attempt to please everyone. Intimidation is something we see at every meeting so it's not surprising that some people expand on it. You see, 'under God' was added to the Pledge of Allegiance as much to intimidate the non-believers in our society as it was to promote the majorities religious beliefs. In the 1950's, the frenzy over 'Godless' communists was as bad as an earlier frenzy over witches in Salem, and 54 years later the intimidation and persecution continues. So I again ask you to stop reciting the Pledge at our Town Board meetings. Thank you, David Habecker 6» I . . I. 1. , f. , *L *' '.. t: , / )'.1, t· f i '. , f'•c. 5"49 4 '' . 0 · f• ' I . , a <dl.

Meeting held in the Town Hall in said Town of Estes Park on the 12th day of August, 2008. Meeting called to order by Mayor William C. Pinkham. Present: William C. Pinkham, Mayor Chuck Levine, Mayor Pro Tem Trustees Eric Blackhurst Dorla Eisenlauer John Ericson Richard Homeier Jerry Miller Also Present: Greg White, Town Attorney Jacquie Halburnt, Town Administrator Lowell Richardson, Deputy Town Administrator Jackie Williamson, Town Clerk Absent: None Mayor Pinkham called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and invited any person desiring to participate to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. PUBLIC COMMENT Virginia Page/Town Citizen requested the Town consider placing 30 minute parking signs on each of the applicable parking spaces in the Post Office parking lot. George Hockman/Town Citizen expressed concern with the Town's current efforts to control noxious weeds. He stated C.R.S. 35-5.5-106 states a governing body of all municipalities shall adopt a noxious weed management plan. He asserts the Town has never been in compliance with the State law. He requested the Board direct staff and provide resources for weed control. John Meissner/Town Citizen stated Ralph Macdonald and the Robbins family presented the Trail Gazette with copies of The Mountaineer in the 1930s. Full sets of the publication do not exist at the library or the museum. He requested that copies of the publication be made available to the citizens. David Habecker/Town Citizen stated the Town's noise ordinance has not prevented motorcyclists from modifying mufflers on their bikes. It continues to be an issue. He requested the Town Board stop reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because the phrase "under God" is offensive and unconstitutional. Ron Norris/Town Citizen commended the Board on addressing the Pledge and the issue of religion with flexibility, grace and common sense. TOWN BOARD COMMENTS Trustee Blackhurst reminded the public that the Estes Park Housing Authority would meet Wednesday, August 13th at 8:30 a.m. in Room 130, and the Utilities Committee would meet Thursday, August 14th at 8:00 a.m. in the Board Room. 1. CONSENT AGENDA (Approval of): 1. Town Board Minutes dated July 22,2008 and Town Board Pre-Budget Study Session Minutes dated July 25,2008. r lA I ¥ Board of Trustees - August 12, 2008 - Page 2 2. Bills. 3. Committee Minutes: A. Public Safety, July 17, 2008. B. Public Works, July 24,2008. It was moved and seconded (Levine/Miller) the Consent Agenda be approved, and it passed unanimously. 2. REPORTS AND DISCUSSION ITEMS: 1. Initiated Ordinance Petitions for Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority (EPURA) - Report. Attorney White stated a petition was filed by petitioners William Van Horn and Larry Pesses with the Town Clerk on July 7,2008 to require voter approval at a regular or special election for the creation and viability of the exiting EPURA and any new URA or Downtown Development Authority in the future. He reviewed the Initiated Ordinance procedure including the form of the petition. The Town Clerk rejected the petition because the creation of an URA or Downtown Development Authority is governed by C.R.S. 31-25-101, any existing URA is a separate entity and not a proper subject of municipal legislation and the proposed ballot Initiative Ordinance addressed multiple subjects. On July 20th, two separate petitions were received by the Town Clerk. The first petition contained the same provisions as set forth in the initial petition requesting a vote of the people. The second petition addressed the abolishment of EPURA under C.R.S. 31- 11-106(1). The Town Clerk rejected the first petition for the same reasons as stated previously. Upon the completion and submittal of a first printer's proof of the second petition the Town Clerk would approve the petition for circulation. The Town Clerk's office has not received further correspondence. The Estes Park Citizens for Responsible Government and William Van Horn filed for Declaratory Judgment; however, the Town was not served until August 5,2008. The Plaintiffs have requested the courts schedule a speedy hearing and find the proposed Ordinances are municipal legislation. The Plaintiffs must file an opening brief by August 19th, the Town has until August 29"1 to file a brief and the Plaintiff has until September 2nd to reply to the brief. The Town is trying to move forward as quickly as possible. 3. ACTION ITEMS: 1. RE-APPOINTMENT: ADVERTISING COMMITTEE. Director Pickering requested the re-appointment of the Advertising Committee (CVB Marketing Committee) which expired in April 2008. The appointments would expire December 31, 2008. It was moved and seconded (BlackhursVEisenlauer) to approve the re-appointment of Cory Blackman, Kyle Patterson, Rob Pieper, Tom Pickering, Peter Marsh, Suzy Blackhurst, Bo Winslow and Julie Nikolai to the Adverting Committee as outlined above, and it passed unanimously. 2. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT (IGA) BETWEEN THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK AND LARIMER COUNTY FOR THE ESTES PARK LOCAL MARKETING DISTRICT. Attorney White reviewed the changes to the fifth draft of the IGA between the Town of Estes Park and the Larimer County Commissioners for the establishment of the Estes Park Local Marketing District. The residency requirement was amended to require a Board member to reside within the service area of the district with five appointments by the Town and two appointments by the County. Term limits for Board member can be waived by I I h Board of Trustees - August 12, 2008 - Page 3 either the Town or the County if there are no qualified applicants to fill a vacancy on the Board. The establishment of the LMD and the authorization to levy a 2% marketing and promotion tax would be subject to voter approval at the November 4,2008 General Election. The IGA designates the Town Clerk as the election official. The Town would be responsible for its pro-rata share of the election costs determined by the number of electors of the Town and the County eligible to vote in the district election. The LMD, if established, and upon receipt of tax revenue would reimburse the Town and the County for the cost of the election. David Habecker/Town Citizen expressed great concern that all LMD Board members could have residency outside of Town limits. Businesses in town limits may not have representation on the Board. The Town Board emphasized the lodging tax would be collected by the State and transferred directly to the new LMD Board. The Town and the County would not dictate how the money is spent except through the approval of a yearly operating plan. Funds currently used for marketing by the Town would be used for infrastructure and capital improvements for the citizens and tourist of our community. After further discussion, it was moved and seconded (Levine/Homeier) to approve the Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Estes Park and the Larimer County Board of Commissioner for the formation of the Estes Park Local Marketing District, and it passed unanimously. The Mayor thanked all for their efforts in bringing this issue forward. 3. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT (IGA) BETWEEN THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK AND LARIMER COUNTY ELECTIONS OFFICE FOR THE 2008 COORDINATED ELECTION - LOCAL MARKETING DISTRICT. Town Clerk Williamson stated pursuant to C.R.S. 1-7-116(2), an IGA would be required between a political subdivision and the County Clerk and Recorder to participate in the upcoming coordinated election. The agreement places all election responsibilities on the County for the preparation and conduct of the mordinated election and provides for the appropriate costs to be paid pursuant to the IGA between the Town and the County for the LMD. The estimated cost of the election is $20,000 to $33,000. It was moved and seconded (Eisenlauer/Ericson) to approve the Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Estes Park and the Larimer County Clerk and Recorder for the Coordinated election to be held on November 4, 2008 and it passed unanimously. 4. WAPITI CROSSING DEVELOPMENT PLAN 07-13 APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN 07-13, Wapiti Crossing, Lot 22, South Saint Vrain Addition. Attorney White stated the appellants, adjacent property owners, are asserting the Estes Valley Planning Commission (EVPC) did not correctly apply Section 7.8 of the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) during the review and subsequent approval of the development. Planner Shirk reviewed the history of the proposed development including a previous denial of the development in November 2007 by the EVPC based on a significant impact to wildlife. In January 2008, the developer appealed the EVPC's decision to the Town Board and the Board remanded the development plan to the EVPC to review a Wildlife Conservation Plan. The plan was prepared by a Staff approved certified wildlife biologist, forwarded to the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) for review and the EVPC found it complied with the requirements set forth in Section 7.8.H. After preparation of the Conservation Plan, the applicant revised the development plan to reflect If. I Board of Trustees - August 12, 2008 - Page 4 suggestions made in the plan. These included removal of one unit to the northwest of the multi-family building, widening a migration corridor to the north of the property and reduction in the amount of landscaping. The plan also includes no fencing, removal of some street lights, bear-proof trash enclosures and requiring domestic animals to be in control by their owners at all times. In addition, all utilities would be completed at one time and construction would not begin until after calving season. Steve Loss/Mulhern Group was present to represent the developer. The plan meets and/or exceeds the EVDC. The development plan has also eliminated the path connection the existing cabin to the roadway. A direct path from the multi-family building would be constructed to the existing cabin. The use of the cabin as a community building would be limited during the calving season to reduce contact with the wildlife. The wider migration corridor has been placed within the area currently used by the animals to cross over to the golf course. Christopher Roe/Roe Ecological Services stated the wider corridor also encourages wildlife to cross the highway at a more visible section of the roadway. Trustee Miller questioned if the buffer requirements in Section 7.8.G.1.a was met by the development. Director Joseph state Rick Spowart/CDOW informed the EVPC at the May meeting the biggest impact would be the loss of the open meadow for elk staging during the rut, the breeding season, and normal social interaction. He did not mention the preservation of the calving habitat. The potential calving area on the lot is a small wooded portion on the south end. Mr. Roe stated the amended development plan provides an adequate buffer from the potential calving area. Those speaking in support of the appeal included: Arleta Bell/Town Citizen and Appellant, George Hockman/Town Citizen, Richard De Long/Town Citizen, Sandy Lindquist/Town Citizen, Sandy Osterman (letter)/Town Citizen, Dick Coe/Town Citizen, Bonnie Haughey/Town Citizen and Jon Nicholas/Town Citizen. Comments are summarized: the developer has a right to develop the property; however, the development should meet the codes of Estes Park; Rick Spowart stated 41 condominiums can not be constructed on the site without having a significant impact; the neighborhood views the property as a necessary habitat for wildlife and should be preserved; the property values of the preexisting property owners should be protected from the proposed development; the property should be limited to 3-8 units per acres with large buffer areas from the existing homes; the plan should be denied and a new Conservation Plan approved by the CDOW should be developed; he development is incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood; the approval or denial of the development plan should be based on the adequacy of the Conservation Plan. Fred Mares/Town Citizen stated the Planning Staff and Attorney White interpreted Section 7.8 of the EVDC as having no provision for denial, only requiring the submission of a Wildlife Conservation Plan and that the effectiveness or adequacy of the plan at mitigating the adverse effects of the proposed development on the habitat is of no consequence. The neighbors contend the interpretation and instruction were incorrect. This development was the first to require a Wildlife Conservation Plan in the eight year history of the EVDC. Section 7.8.F.4 requires CDOW to review the plan to determine whether or not it adequately addresses the adverse impacts on wildlife caused by the development. This requirement provides a basis for denial of the proposal. Rick Spowart /CDOW restated the role of the Division is to act as a source of information and not to make recommendations on development. He 0 Board of Trustees - August 12, 2008 - Page 5 commented the Wapiti development would have a significant impact on the habitat of the wildlife. He agreed the typical fawning and calving area would be the wooded area on the southern portion of the lot. Trustees questioned if there was a development that would meet the requirements and create less impact, whether there was an adequate buffer and if the Conservation Plan was inadequate. Mr. Spowart stated a less dense development would have less impact on the wildlife and their habitat. He commented buffers are more critical for deer fawning and the development would have a significant impact on fawning. The Plan does not adequately address the impact on wildlife. However, he stated the migration corridor would be more essential than the buffer on the south side of the property. The elk would follow the path of least resistance and would likely spend more time on the golf course if this development is approved. David Habecker/Town Citizen spoke against the appeal. He stated the conditions of adverse impact have been exacerbated by the neighboring homes surrounding this lot. Additional conditions can not be placed on the last developable lot in the neighborhood. He also stated the CDOW has and will always claim development adversely impacts the wildlife in Estes Park. The size of the lot precludes any significant adverse impact on the wildlife and the handful of calves or fawns born each year on the lot is not significant to the herds. Eric Waples/Town Citizen spoke to the effectiveness and enforceability of Section 7.8 of the EVDC. The Town has ignored this section of the code and clear guidelines need to be developed and enforced. He stated the intent of the Section 7.8 is clearly stated and should be upheld. The Town would in effect destroy the intent of the code if Town staff or the Town Attorney did in fact instruct the EVPC that no grounds for denial of the development plan existed. Cherrie Pettyjohn/Town Citizen and past Planning Commissioner state the property has been zoned RM - Residential Multi-Family since the 1960s, the developer has not requested any variances and the development meets the EVDC requirements. The code can be amended but it is the responsibility of the citizens to revise the code and address the issues related to development. Ron Norris/Association for Responsible Development (ARD) spoke in support of the appeal for the following reasons: the property is a documented calving and fawning area; the Wildlife Study found the proposal would cause significant adverse impact on the wildlife habitat; the mitigation plan was found inadequate by the CDOW; and the EVPC was precluded from exercising reasonable judgment. ARD would support development on this property with a revised project that mitigates the effect on wildlife and receives written approval from the CDOW. Board discussion is summarized: the EVDC, Section 7.8 as written provided the EVPC the ability to deny the development plan if the Commission found cause; this portion of the EVDC is inadequate and should be rewritten; the EVPC made the right decision with the information presented at the time regardless of staff or legal comments; the developer has complied with Section 7.8.f.3 by reserving a calving area and providing a migration path toward the golf course; the developer has made adequate mitigation efforts; the developer has property rights and the density proposed meets the zoning regulations; the Estes Park Housing Study has found the growth rate in the valley to be 1.3%; therefore, the valley has been growing at a slow and steady rate; the Town needs to determine what properties need to be preserved for open space and . f Board of Trustees - August 12, 2008 - Page 6 address the issue in the code; there needs to be a balance between protecting open space and protecting property rights. Trustee Miller stated concerns that the development plan does not meet the buffer standards in Section 7.8.G.1.a, Section 7.8.H.d has not adequately been addressed as to how the mitigation efforts would be measured, and the code does not guarantee the maximum density would be available. He suggested the issues be addressed prior to moving forward with the development. It was moved and seconded (Blackhurst/Levine) to uphold the Estes Valley Planning Commissions approval of the Wapiti Development, Development Plan 07-13 with the staff conditions of approval, and it passed with Trustees Ericson and Miller voting "No". 5. TOWN ADMINISTRATOR REPORT. No report. 6. REQUEST TO ENTER EXECUTIVE SESSION: 24-6-402(4)(b), C.R.S. - Conference with Town Attorney White for the purpose of receiving legal advice on a specific legal question - Lot 4, Stanley Historic District. It was moved and seconded (Levine/Eisnelauer) the Town Board enter into Executive Session for the purpose of a conference with Town Attorney White to receive legal advice under C.R.S. Section 24-6-4-2(4)(b).with regard to Lot 4, Stanley Historic District, and it passed unanimously. Whereupon Mayor Pinkham adjourned the meeting to Executive Session at 10:06 p.m. Mayor Pinkham reconvened the meeting to open session at 10:40 p.m. and adjourned the meeting at 10:40 p.m. William C. Pinkham, Mayor Jackie Williamson, Town Clerk . RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado, August 8,2008 Minutes of a Regular meeting of the TOWN BOARD PRE-BUDGET STUDY SESSION of the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado. Meeting held at Town Hall in Room 130 in said Town of Estes Park on the 8* day of August, 2008. Board: Mayor Pinkham, Trustees Blackhurst, Eisenlauer, Ericson, Homeier, Levine and Miller Attending: All Also Attending: Town Administrator Halburnt, Dept. Heads Goehring, Kilsdonk, Joseph, McFarland, Pickering, Smith and Zurn and Town Clerk Williamson Absent: Deputy Town Administrator Richardson, Dept. Heads Dorman, and Kufeld Mayor Pinkham called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. Mayor Pinkham reviewed a budget evaluation process and rating scale that could be utilized for each project to determine the service level requirement by the Town (mandated to provide, essential, revenue generator, or expands option) and the sustainability rating (not essential, somewhat important, very important, essential). Discussion followed on how to utilize the matrix. Some members of the Board expressed concern the process would not move the Board forward in developing a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). 2009 POLICY GUIDANCE. Board Priorities / Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Administrator Halburnt provided the Board with a revised CP that grouped projects by issues including quality of life, requests from the community, requests from Trustees, requests from staff and necessities. The CIP should aid in focusing the budget needs for 2009, create place holders for the following years and give staff time to develop funding mechanisms. Discussion followed: the CIP is a living document that should be adjusted and added to each year, infrastructure projects need to be completed; therefore, the only projects to be evaluated by the Board are the quality of life projects; infrastructure should be funded at a higher level; need to provide staff with general direction (#1 priority - public safety, #2 essential services and infrastructure, #3 revenue generators); the Board is focused on improving infrastructure; when considering infrastructure (brick and mortar), the Board needs to consider the services and maintenance associated with the infrastructure improvements; departments should prioritize the items listed in the CIP. The Board agreed the following are high priorities - Barns including the hockey ice and the parking lot, Transportation, Fairgrounds and Infrastructure identified by Public Works. Target Fund Balances Administrator Halburnt stated the current fund balance for the General Fund is 30% of expenses including transfers, Special Revenue funds are 5% (Museum, CVB, Fire, Senior Center, Community Reinvestment, Open Space Funds) and Enterprise Fund are 25% for L&P and Water 25% plus 2% of fixed assets as necessitated by current bonds. The Catastrophic Loss Fund is required by TABOR to have 3% of the General Fund. The fund had a $2.38 million fund balance at the end of 2007 and is projected to have a balance of $3 million at the end of 2008. The current fund balance exceeds TABOR . RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ' Town Board Study Session - August 8,2008 - Page 2 requirements by approximately $1 million and could therefore be used for capital improvements. She stated sales tax driven towns carry healthy fund balances including the following percentages: Siverthorne - 96%, Vail - 58%, Breckenridge - 54%, Aspen - 54%, Steamboat Springs - 48%, and Estes Park - 39%. Staff would recommend a +30% fund balance would have the Town operating in the green, 25% in the yellow and 20% or lower in the red. In general, the Board agrees with staff; however, the Board recommends a 30% - 25% operating in the yellow and once 25% is reached staff would begin to review discretionary expenditures, discuss hiring freezes and cut back costs. - +30% - Green - 30% - 25% - Yellow - 25% - Red Trustee Blackhurst stated the Board should discuss how to spend the approximately 9% of the previous year's budget that was returned to the General Fund. Community Service Grants Administrator Halburnt stated in prior years the Community Services grant funding has been 5% of the previous year's sales tax and amounted to $355,000 in 2007. $187,000 was granted to the Estes Park Housing Authority and the other grants were small in comparison. A quick survey shows Estes Park on the upper end of funding for non- profits. Traditionally the grants have been reviewed by two Board members and the Town Administrator. Mayor Pinkham requested Trustee Levine continue to serve on the review team. Mayor Pinkham stated the Mayor's contingency fund has been utilized in the past to pay for community events. He has continued to fund the requests from previous years but has instructed the groups to apply for Community Service grants during the budget process. Mayor Pinkham called a break at 9:34 a.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:44 a.m. Director Joseph stated in addition to grants the Board has approved substantial fee waivers for non-profits and other agencies within town. For example $70,000 in building permit fees were waived last year for the hospital. A policy was adopted last year to cap fee waivers at $2,500 per request. Staff will provide the Board with a fee waiver report for the past several years. Criteria for Staffing Additions / Deletions Administrator Halburnt stated the Water Department would like to request a part-time water lab technician be moved to full-time due to the new testing regulations. Finance would like to combine two part-time jobs into one full-time job. The impact to the budget would be negligible. The Museum would be adding a part-time position for digitizing photos. This position would be funded through a grant. The Senior Center Program Coordinator would increase from 20 hours to 24 hours due to the increase in rentals of Town facilities. The additional cost in salary would be offset by rental fees collected. Administration would add a Public Information Officer (PIO). Mayor Pinkham stated further discussion should occur as to the scope of responsibility for the PIO position both internally and externally. Trustee Miller agreed and stated the Town needs to be proactive on issues that come forward instead of reactive. Trustee Ericson suggested the Town hire a consultant to write the PIO job description. Trustee Blackhurst expressed the importance of maintaining competitive salaries to retain staff. Administrator Halburnt stated the Town performs a salary survey each year and uses three regional cities (Longmont, Loveland and Fort Collins) and three resort towns (Avon, Frisco and Steamboat Springs). h, 0 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town Board Study Session - August 8,2008 - Page 3 LOCAL MARKETING DISTRICT (LMD) Trustee Homeier stated the relationship between the LMD and the CVB should be kept separate. Any presentation by the Town Board should relate to the benefits of an LMD and not the role/relationship of the CVB and the LMD. The LMD Board would determine the relationship with the CVB and not the Town. The Town should not connect the CVB to the LMD because it proposes too many questions that can not be answered. The petitioners are the ones that own the LMD and are asking for the formation of the LMD and the lodging tax. Trustee Blackhurst stated the Town initiated the petition; and therefore, the Town is responsible for the issue. Questions have arisen with regard to the relationship with the CVB and need to be addressed. The CVB funding is a separate issue; however, the Town will continue to fund the department. The intent of the LMD and the tax is to replace the approximately $800,000 the Town spends on marketing and use those funds for infrastructure improvements. The Board needs to continue to market the LMD as it has been presented. The Board was in agreement with comments made by Trustee Blackhurst. Trustee Homeier left the meeting at 10:00 a.m. and Director Smith arrived. Administrator Halburnt stated if the LMD passes this November the Town will reinvest money spent on marketing on infrastructure improvements and funding of the CVB for the next five years would not be included in the Intergovenmental Agreement with the County for the formation of the LMD. GREEN ESTES PARK Director Goehring presented options for the Board to consider during the upcoming budget to be a greener organization. The Town could purchase enough wind energy to place all Town General Fund facilities on wind energy at a cost of approximately $30,000, L&P for $3,300 and Water for $8,500; however, the purchase would be a 20 year commitment and would likely double by 2010. The L&P department has also developed a static-cling sticker to be displayed by current and future renewable energy users to display in their homes, cars or businesses. He suggested the Town place a 1,000 watt wind turbine and a 1,000 watt solar display at the hydroplant at a cost of $25,000 to provide the citizens and visitors a demonstration of what the two systems might yield in the valley. He stated the holiday lights placed along Elkhorn Avenue could be replaced with LED lights for a cost of $40,000 and could be left up year-round. Administrator Halburnt stated this is one of the Town Board goals and would also be a good way to communicate to the community and visitors that Estes Park is a green town. Discussion followed: Trustee Levine is in favor of green alternatives, stating there would be a cost; Trustee Miller stated a policy should be developed to build new Town facilities to LEED standards in the future; Mayor Pinkham stated as one of the four owners of PRPA, a coal burning utility, greener options would send the right message and address future needs; concern was raised on the two demonstration methods meeting the Development Code and the location should be more public (Museum); the LED lights are not worth the additional cost to have lighting year-round; year-round lighting on sheep island would be preferred if one color of light could be used. POTENTIAL REVENUE SOURCES Administrator Halburnt reviewed potential revenue sources including a temporary tax to provide funding for deferred infrastructure improvements, impact fees, charging for dispatch services, stormwater fee and a higher mil levy for second homeowners. Temporary Tax - the Board expressed the need to focus on the LMD prior to considering an additional tax. EPURA has the ability to bond for long range projects and should be utilized when possible. Staff should investigate other mechanism or . 1 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS ' Town Board Study Session - August 8,2008 - Page 4 funding sources to complete projects. The survey completed for the new barns at Stanley Fairgrounds indicated citizens do not want a new tax. Impact Fees - Fees would be collected on new development through a building permit to be utilized for transportation, drainage and improving Town streets. Director Zurn stated the Town needs to address infrastructure improvements to support growth and whether the current taxpayers or the developer are going to pay for the improvements. Water tap fees are impact fees that offset the cost of improvements to the Town's water system. There are no impact fees for the transportation system at this time. Director Joseph stated the lack of impact fees have caused an inadequacy in the Town's infrastructure and placed the burden of upgrades to systems on the last developer. The Board stated this item needs further discussion and should not be considered at this time. Dispatch Services - Currently the Town is providing dispatch services at no cost to the following entities: - Glen Haven Fire - $809 - Ambulance - $33,059 - Estes Park Fire - $8,938 - Utiliites - 1734 - RMNP - 385 - Police - 280,000 Administrator Halburnt stated the Town has an MOU with RMNP that expires at the end of the year and staff would like to add the cost of the dispatch services to the new agreement. The agreement with the ambulance district agrees not to charge the Town for services related to testing. The Board does not support charging for dispatch services citing alienation from other agencies, public perception and the need to continue to develop good will and cooperation with other entities. Stormwater Fee - Director Zurn has reviewed the potential of adding a fee to water bills for stormwater drainage improvements. He stated the Clean Water Act is becoming tougher and the Town could be placed in a Phase 2 by the State that would require the Town to address the issue immediately. The Board requested staff look into the issue further and possibly form a stormwater utility. Higher Mil Levy Fee for 2nd Homeowners - This has been discussed by staff and would require additional research to determine implementation. The Board instructed staff to eliminate this option citing the difficulty in determining second homeownership. MISCELLANEOUS The Trustees requested an additional work session to discuss the CIP and to provide input on the new ranking sheets provided by staff. Staff would provide the Board with the new rating sheets including the ratings from the first survey completed by the Board. Administrator Halburnt has instructed Department Heads to budget flat for 2009. There being no further business, Mayor Pinkham adjourned the meeting at 11:10 a.m. Jackie Williamson, Town Clerk .

The Rocky Mountain Team Penning Association is requesting the use of the Fairgrounds at Stanley Park to hold a Team Penning event September 12 through September 14, 2008. Staff anticipates about 100 horses will be participating in the event which would produce approximately $3500 in revenue for the Town, with an estimated $500 in miscellaneous expenses and fuel costs incurred during the two day event. Historically, this free show has been popular with spectators and staff expects a good turnout again this year. The Committee recommends approval of the contract with the Rocky Mountain Team Penning Association for an event scheduled September 12 through 14, 2008, as presented. PRAISE IN THE PARK CONCERT - REQUEST APPROVAL. Chris Moody has requested the use of Bond Park to hold a free Christian band concert on August 17, 2008, from 7:00 p.m. till 8:30 p.m. A similar concert was held earlier this summer with approximately 250 people in attendance. Sound levels were kept well within the Town's acceptable limits and no complaints about the event were received. The Committee recommends approval of the Praise in the Park Concert as presented. CONFERENCE CENTER ROOF REPAIR CONTRACT - REQUEST APPROVAL. The Estes Park Conference Center's roof is a combination of metal and membrane with concrete block edging. The caulking along the concrete block has deteriorated resulting in leaks and minor damage to the interior of the building. Staff contacted five commercial roofing firms about the repairs with one firm, B&M Roofing, submitting a bid of $6,492 to complete the repairs. Monies for the repairs will be taken from the Conference Center maintenance and repairs budget that has a balance of $15,000.

ESTES PARK MEDICAL CENTER FEE WAIVER REQUEST. The Estes Park Medical Center (EPMC) is planning construction of a $2.2 million emergency room expansion/upgrade and is requesting a waiver of the development plan review fee in the amount of $2,500 and building plan review and inspection fees estimated at $15,000 to $18,000. Current policy states that the Community Development Committee may exempt fees in an amount not to exceed $2,500 per project for the following entities: 1. public funded government construction (federal, state, county, local); including 2. tax districts / special districts ( e.g. hospital, library, parks and rec.); or 3. private non-profit organizations providing low income health care services or low income housing. Waiver of fees exceeding $2,500 must be authorized by the Town Board. Staff recommends waiving the $2,500 development plan review fee as per policy. The Committee discussed the following: fees and right-of-ways were negotiated during the previous Estes Park Medical Center project; other governmental agencies may be making similar requests in the future; fees are being calculated on actual cost of construction; fees help to recover costs of building department staff; and out-of-house or out-of-pocket expenses flow back to applicant. The Committee recommends approval to waive the $2,500 development plan review fees for the Estes Park Medical Center emergency room project and setting an action item for an upcoming Town Board meeting to discuss the waiver of the additional $15,000 to $18,000 in building plan review and inspection fees.

LOT 2, BLOCK 6, WINDCLIFF ESTATES 5th FILING, 3469 EAGLECLIFF CIRCLE DRIVE, Owner: Gary & Judy Peet, Applicant: Don Darling - Request for variance from Estes Valley Development Code Section 4.3, Table 4-2, to allow front-yard setbacks of 15.26 feet from the northeastern property line and 12.39 feet from the southwestern property line, as set forth in the proposed plan, in lieu of the 25-foot setbacks required in the E-1-Estate zoning district Planner Shirk summarized the staff report. This is a request for reduction of the required 25-foot setback in the E-1-Estate zoning district. The lot is bordered on two sides by roads and by platted open-space lots on three sides. There is an existing residence on the lot that was built partially within the required setbacks. The applicant would like to build a small addition to their front sitting room (an 11 -foot-by-2-foot addition to the northeast side of the residence) and an addition, including a new deck and stone patio with a retaining wall, on the southwest corner of the residence. The existing deck on the southwest side of the house would be removed. The proposed additions, new deck, and stone patio would encroach into the required setbacks. In considering whether special circumstances or conditions exist, the 0.37-acre lot is undersized for the E-1-Estate zoning district (which has a one-acre minimum lot size), has open space on three sides as noted above, and is steeply sloped. The essential character of the neighborhood would not change. Several other similar lots in the Windcliff subdivision have received similar variance approvals. The variance request was routed to all applicable reviewing agency staff and to neighboring property owners for consideration and comment. A telephone inquiry was made by a neighboring property owner; no concerns were expressed. A letter in support of the requested variance was received from the Windcliff Property Owners Association Architectural Control Committee on May 30,2008. Planning staff recommends approval of the requested variance with two conditions of approval. . RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 1 Estes Valley Board of Adjustment 2 June 3,2008 Public Comment: Don Darling/Applicant stated the owners wish to make improvements to their home. Approval of the requested variances will result in an improvement to the exterior appearance of the home. The new deck and addition will be less intrusive than the existing deck, which will be removed. It was moved and seconded (SagedNewsom) to approve the variance request for Lot 2, Block 6, Windcliff Estates 5th Filing, 3469 Eaglecliff Circle Drive, to allow front- yard setbacks of 15.26 feet from the northeastern property line and 12.39 feet from the southwestern property line, as set forth in the proposed plan, in lieu of the required 25-foot setbacks, with the findings and conditions recommended by staff, and the motion passed unanimously with two absent and one alternate member in attendance. CONDITIONS: 1. Prior to pouring foundation and footings, submittal of a setback certificate verifying layout of building and deck improvements as per the approved plan shall be prepared by a certified engineer, surveyor, or architect. 2. Submittal of a building permit application demonstrating compliance with the submitted site plan. 4. REPORTS Director Joseph stated he has been communicating with Larimer County regarding the current opening on the Board. Mr. Bob McCreery has indicated an interest in filling the position and is in attendance. Director Joseph expects the position to be filled within the next month. Member Sager requested information on the Elkhorn Lodge Redevelopment proposal currently under review by the Estes Valley Planning Commission and Estes Park Town Board. He asked whether there would be variance requests associated with the development and expressed a desire that the project be planned to minimize the necessity for variances, citing the numerous variance requests processed over thirty or forty years for the Windcliff Subdivision. Director Joseph stated the proposal will be reviewed via separate development plans for different portions of the property. At this point there are no specific variance requests identified for the project, although there is not sufficient information at this time to determine whether variance re®ests for the property will come before the Board of Adjustment. There will be platted building envelopes on the single-family residential lots, which will govern; it is understood by the developer and by planning staff that these building envelopes will be "hard and fasf' and will not be stayed from.

REZONING, ELK MEADOW R.V. PARK, Metes and Bounds Property Located at 1665 W. Highway 66, Chuck Jones, Regional Director/Applicant Staff Presentation: Planner Shirk summarized the staff report. This is a request to rezone the Elk Meadow R.V. Park property from RM-Mu#i-Fami/y Residen#a/ to A-Accommodations. The property owners provide an outdoor evening dinner and musical entertainment and did so under a temporary use permit in the summer of 2007. However, a temporary use permit is only valid for 30 days. The property owners would like to make this entertainment a permanent part of the activities offered to guests and the general public. This accessory use is permitted in the accommodations zoning district but not allowed in the multi-family residential zoning district, thus the request for rezoning. The property was zoned RM-Multi-Family Residen#a/ during the valley-wide rezoning in 2000. The current use of the property is an allowed use in both the RM district and the accommodations zoning district. The two zoning districts are nearly interchangeable in terms of allowed density, impervious coverage, and other standards, although the . RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission , 3 July 15, 2008 accommodations district does not have a floor area ratio (FAR), which limits building bulk. Future condominium development could occur under either zoning designation. The applicant's request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff and to neighboring property owners for consideration and comment. No written comments were received. Planning staff recommends approval of this rezoning request. There are no recommended conditions of approval. Public Comment: None. It was moved and seconded (Tucker/Klink) to recommend approval of the Rezoning Request for Elk Meadow R.V. Park, a Metes and Bounds property located at 1665 W. Highway 66, to the Town Board of Trustees, and the motion passed unanimously with one absent. 5. ESTES VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, 2008 STATISTICAL UPDATE Director Joseph stated that a statistical update to Chapter Three and Appendix 1 of the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan (EVCP) has been prepared at the request of the Town. This is a statistical update only; no policy revisions or changes to the goals outlined in the EVCP are proposed. Research for the current EVCP was completed in the mid-1990s; it has been a decade or more since the statistics have been revised. The data for the statistical updates was taken from U.S. Census information, federal and state statistics, and statistics kept by the Town of Estes Park, and include the 2007 Estes Valley Housing Needs Assessment completed by the Estes Park Housing Authority. The Estes Park Town Board of Trustees and the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners are recommending bodies; the Estes Valley Planning Commission is the adopting body. During its review of the proposed update, the Town Board recommended that the 2007 Estes Valley Housing Needs Assessment be adopted in its entirety by reference. Both the Town Board and the Larimer County Commissioners have recommended adoption of the update. Planning staff recommends adoption of the statistical update and the entirety of the housing needs assessment by reference. Staff and Commissioners' Discussion/Comments: Commissioner Hull commended the thoroughness of the proposed update. Commissioner Grant stated inclusion of the housing assessment is absolutely essential. Discussion followed regarding the build-out potential of the Estes Valley. Director Joseph stated this information is part of the proposed statistical update, with data produced through a robust data-processing effort and the use of a GIS computer program. There is an existing inventory of 8,700 residential units. Build-out information indicates the Valley could have as many as 12,000 units, although it is his opinion that the Valley will never reach the full theoretical capacity for a Variety of reasons. The existing units represent 73% of the theoretical build-out total, which provides a good gauge for estimating how close to capacity the Valley is currently. In terms of population totals, because Estes Park is a resort community, a significant portion of the housing inventory is not declared as principal residences and, as such, is not counted in census totals. Public Comment: None. It was moved and seconded (Hull/Klink) to adopt the statistical update as a revision to applicable chapters of the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan and to adopt the 2007 Estes Valley Housing Needs Assessment in its entirety by reference, and the motion passed unanimously with one absent. . RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS . Estes Valley Planning Commission 4 July 15, 2008 6. REPORTS: Estes Valley Habitat Assessment: Director Joseph stated the Town contracted in May with EDAW, an environmental design and planning firm with offices in Fort Collins, to conduct a wildlife habitat inventory in the Estes Valley. This study is nearing completion. Their work has entailed gathering all the best available existing data on wildlife habitats and vegetative covers. Sources include the Colorado Natural Heritage Program and direct input from Rick Spowart, Colorado Division of Wildlife Estes Park District Wildlife Manager, and Mary Kay Watry, Rocky Mountain National Park Fish and Wildlife Biologist. Beyond the basic data specific to the vegetative community in the Estes Valley, EDAW also used criteria to rank the value of habitats to better inform the process of review of future land-use proposals. One of the key concepts is that habitats that support a greater variety of wildlife are the most valuable due to their associated species diversity. In general, rip*arian areas (stream and river corridors and wetlands) support the highest diversity in the Valley and provide the highest-value habitat. The information provided by EDAW will also include wildlife movement corridors and corridors for connectivity of habitat. The wildlife habitat inventory map and a narrative explaining the methodology and metadata behind the mapping are anticipated from EDAW in final draft form by the end of July. Staff anticipates release of the final draft for public comment the first weak of August and presentation of the study to the Planning Commission at the regular meeting on August 19, 2008. This would allow for two to three weeks of public comment, as well as the opportunity for public comment at the Planning Commission hearing in August. If the study is adopted, it would be an update to the existing wildlife habitat map found in the Estes Valley Development Code. The next step would be to determine how to interface the regulatory process with the new wildlife habitat map. The map would provide a general guideline; future development proposals could be subject to site-specific verification. Public Comment Regarding Accessory Dwelling Units: Director Jdseph stated town resident Paul Brown had attended the June 17, 2008 Planning Commission meeting in order to provide comments on possible changes to the Estes Valley Development Code regarding accessory dwelling units (ADUs). As no public comment on ADUs was taken at last month's meeting, Director Joseph offered Mr. Brown the opportunity to address the Commissioners on this subject. Paul Brown/Town Resident stated he is an architectural designer and contractor specializing in residential projects. Having lived in Estes Park since 1983, he indicated he is very familiar with past and current town and county codes, including the EVDC. He stated that prior to EVDC adoption in 2000, all in-town property owners were allowed an ADU by-right in the E, RS, RM, CD, and CO zoning districts, while ADUs were prohibited in all zoning districts in the county. With adoption of the EVDC, all in-town property owners lost their right to an ADU in the RM, CD, and CO zoning districts, as well as most property owners whose property was formerly zoned RS due to substandard lot sizes in the newly assigned E zoning district. On the other hand, county residents within the Estes Valley planning area gained the right to an ADU, although few met the adopted minimum lot-size requirement. At the time the EVDC was being adopted in 2000, Larimer County adopted revisions to their land-use code to allow attached ADUs for guests of occupants of single-family residences in all zoning districts in which single-family dwellings were permitted. Furthermore, Larimer County adopted additional revisions in 2005 to allow detached ADUs on all residential properties regardless of lot size or zoning district, provided single-family dwellings were permitted. Mr. Brown stated Larimer County is following a statewide trend responding to public demand for detached ADUs. He urged the Commissioners to consider changes to the EVDC to allow by-right integrated, attached, and detached ADUs in all residential zoning districts on existing and future legal lots, regardless of lot size, stating it would help fulfill the goals of the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan. He also stated there are many property owners who would like to have an ADU for their personal use and provided his opinion that homeowners willing to . RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 5 July 15, 2008 pay the cost of construction for an ADU would not rent the ADU to seasonal, minimum- wage workers. The ADU would be used for guests of the homeowners and would not help solve the rental-housing-shortage problem. Director Joseph stated that unlike unincorporated Larimer County, Estes Park is a resort community, which could create unique regulatory concerns in terms of the use of ADUs. Town Attorney White noted that Larimer County regulations regarding ADUs represent a 180-degree shift from the County's position at the time the EVDC was adopted in 2000. One reason the EVDC regulations regarding ADUs were adopted was due to Larimer County's opposition to ADUs at that time. Planner Shirk stated his intention to meet with affected agencies, realtors, home designers, and homeowners' association representatives regarding ADUs during August, and to meet with the Estes Park Housing Authority in early September, with the goal of providing proposed Code amendments at the September 16, 2008 Planning Commission meeting. He indicated he would provide a copy of the Larimer County Code regulations regarding ADUs to the Commissioners at the August meeting.

Water Issues - Randy Martin (Plum Creek Shoe Store) and David Callahan (Lonigan's) have been experiencing water problems at their businesses located on Wiest Drive, and contacted staff to see if the problems may have resulted from construction at Wiest Plaza. Dir. Smith contacted Heath Construction, Van Horn Engineering, and utilized a cable camera device owned by Upper Thompson Sanitation District (UTSD) to investigate the drainage pipe in question. No connection to the improvements at Wiest Plaza was discovered. 2. Wiest Plaza Sidewalk Repair - Several sections of sidewalk and curb and gutter at Wiest Plaza failed to cure properly and were repaired, under warranty, by the subcontractor. The repairs took two days to complete and occurred prior to the 4th of July weekend. 3. Gazebo at Wiest Plaza - Town Public Works staff is looking at ways to improve the appearance and usefulness of the gazebo by planting vegetation to cover the open-roof area, providing shade to the interior. The gazebo was built to provide a focal point to the Plaza and was funded by the local Rotary Clubs. The design of the gazebo has been criticized for not fitting in architecturally or enhancing the . RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority - July 16, 2008 - Page 2 plaza by providing seating. Dir. Smith stated that he is currently the chairman of the Noon Rotary's Community Projects Committee and that he will bring up the issue at a future meeting of the committee. 4. Petition to Abolish EPURA - The Town Clerk's office received a Notice of Intent to Gather Signatures for a Ballot Initiative to abolish EPURA. The proposed Initiated Ordinance Petition for Ballot Initiative was rejected in its entirety on the grounds that the URA is a separate entity and not a proper subject of municipal legislation, and not subject to initiative and referendum powers pursuant to the Colorado State Constitution. 5. Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Larimer County - Attorney Benedetti drafted an IGA as the formal agreement between EPURA and Larimer County related to tax increment financing. As adopted by resolution by the Town Board, 10% of the property tax increment financing received by EPURA in the future will be paid to the County. 6. River Bank Repairs - As a result of high water levels from runoff, vegetation along the north river bank washed away this spring. Heath Construction is adding concrete, river rock and mulch to the area and replanting damaged vegetation. In addition, an estimate is being prepared by Heath Construction to replace the railing along Moraine Avenue to match the railing on the north river bank, to be paid for with remaining project contingency funds. 7. Town of Estes Park Budget Process - In late July, Town staff will begin setting priorities for the 2009 budget. As the property tax increment will be reset to zero, an agreement with the Town will be necessary in order for EPURA to operate until TIF revenues accumulate. The Town Board will need information related to potential programs and projects to determine at what level to fund EPURA. 8. Association for Responsible Development (ARD) - ARD has invited Chairman Newsom and Dir. Smith to their August 8~h meeting to present information about EPURA. FINANCIAL UPDATE AND BUDGET AMENDMENT. Finance Officer McFarland reviewed the financial reports and discussed revisions to the 2008 budget documents. The revisions were made subsequent to the development of the 2007 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) to show transfers between EPURA funds (General, Capital, and Debt) and reflect projected positive fund balances at end of year 2008. Public notice related to revising the budget will be published, with formal adoption of the amended 2008 budget to occur at the next regularly scheduled EPURA meeting. SIGNAGE PLAN PROPOSALS. In response to a request by the Board to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for CVB signage, Dir. Smith presented proposals received from Design Studios West, Inc. (DSW) and LandWorks Design, Inc., for review. The Commissioners' discussion of the proposals resulted in neither one being endorsed by the Board. Discussion revolved around the costs associated with the proposals, scaling down the signage plan, additional research on fagade improvement plans, the pedestrian light on Moraine Avenue, and overlaying of Wiest Parking Lot. Commissioner Wilcocks urged the Board to re-examine the existing signage plan to identify those of highest importance, to include the CVB signage and signage identifying routes to RMNP, and get the signs purchased and installed. It was moved and seconded (Swank/Cope) to defer acceptance of either proposal and employ Roger Thorp to review the current signage plan as it relates to CVB signage, making changes or improvements as needed, and consider Riverwalk signs at a later date, and it passed unanimously. PROPOSED FACADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM DISCUSSION. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority - July 16, 2008 - Page 3 The Commissioners reiterated their interest in pursuing a fagade improvement program. Commissioner Halburnt stated that EPURA project priorities that were identified in a meeting with Trustees Blackhurst and Homeier and EPURA representatives included Bond Park, Moraine Avenue streetscape and crosswalk safety lights, signage, and the Wiest parking lot overlay, but did not include a fagade improvement program. Discussion ensued related to continued research into existing fa,ade improvement programs, the type of fagade program to propose, the scale of the program, the program as an incentive for private investments, concerns about rent inflation and stress on the business community that could result from implementation of such a program, and growing TIF to further improve the Town. Dir. Smith will schedule representatives from Fort Collins and Brighton to make presentations on their faGade improvement programs at an upcoming EPURA meeting and invite the Town Board to attend. Whereupon, Chairman Newsom adjourned the regular meeting at 9:40 a.m. Cynthia Deats, Deputy Town Clerk I . 2. . Memo Date: August 20,2008 TO: Town Board From: Gregory A. White RE: Power Line Easements - Carie and Stewart BACKGROUND: Della Terra LLC is constructing a commercial facility on its property located north of US 34 and Fall River. In order to provide electric power service to the property, it is necessary for two easements to be obtained from neighboring properties. The Town, through its Light and Power Enterprise, will be the utility providing the electric service. The easements are standard easements except for the fact that the Town agrees in the easement documents to the location and depth of its trench and conduit in the easement and spacing from the Upper Thompson Sallitation District's existing sewer line within the easement The two easements document are shared easements with the Upper Thompson Sanitation District for sewer services. The easements grant both a permanent easement of fifteen feet and a construction easement of forty feet for construction of the necessary facilities. The easements are in standard form except for the provisions with regard to the sharing of the easement with the Upper Thompson Sanitation District and the responsibilities of Della Terra for restoration of the surface of the easement, obtaining permits from CDC)T for boring under US Highway 34, and inspection services provided by Upper Thompson Sanitation District for its sewer line. BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: There are no budget implications. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the two electric powerline easements. ELECTRIC POWER LINE EASEMENT FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby confessed and acknowledged, WILLIAM S. CARLE, hereinafter sometimes referred to as "the Grantor," does hereby grant unto the TOWN OF ESTES PARK, a Municipal Corporation, a provider of electric power, its successors and assigns, hereinafter sometimes referred to as "the Power Company," a non-exclusive fifteen (15)-foot permanent easement and a forty (40)-foot construction easement on and under the property described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, hereinafter individually referred to as the "Permanent Easement," and the "Construction Easement," respectively, and collectively referred to as the "Easement," with the right to construct an underground three (3) phase electric power line, maintain, inspect, operate, protect, repair, replace, relocate, change the size, and remove such above rights, which Construction Easement shall terminate and no longer be a burden on the land and a benefit to the Power Company six months after the date this Electric Power Line Easement is recorded in the records of the Clerk and Recorder of Larimer County, Colorado. Grantor warrants that he is the owner in fee simple of said property on which the Easement is located and has the authority to grant this Easement, subject to the easement heretofore granted to the Upper Thompson Sanitation District and existing encumbrances of record. Grantor hereby grants unto the Power Company the right of access to said Easement and the right to ingress and egress on and over the property described as the Easement for any and all purposes necessary and incident to the exercise by said Power Company of the rights granted hereunder. Grantor reserves the right to use and enjoy such described easement property so long as such use and enjoyment does not interfere with the right herein granted to the Power Company. Grantor specifically agrees not to build, create or construct any obstructions or structures over or within the Permanent Easement, plant trees, impound water thereon, or permit the same to be done by others without the written consent of the Power Company. Grantor and the Power Company agree that fences, non-concrete roads, parking areas, and similar uses will not interfere with the Power Company's rights hereunder and such are acceptable reserved uses of the easement property by Grantor. The rights herein granted may be assigned in whole or in part and the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Easement grant shall extend to and be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns of the parties hereto. Upon completion of the construction of the electric transmission line and any repairs and/or maintenance, the Power Company shall restore such property as is affected to substantially the same condition that existed prior to such work, including replanting as hereinafter provided and the grinding of any stumps. . 6 1. I Additional Parties and Conditions The Grantors and the Power Company acknowledge and agree that other persons will be affected by this electric power line and may have benefits therefrom. Therefore, the Grantors and the Power Company, together with the affected other parties, Upper Thompson Sanitation District (the "District"), H.W. Stewart, Inc. ("Stewart"), and Della Terra, LLC ("Della Terra"), agree for their mutual benefits and burdens, which benefits and burdens are acknowledged to be in consideration of their mutual promises, to the following construction guidelines and uses: 1. Power Line Construction. The electric power line shall be laid within the Permanent Easement in a four (4)-foot deep trench and be placed in four (4)-inch conduit a minimum distance of four (4) feet from the existing sewer line belonging to Upper Thompson Sanitation District. Upper Thompson Sanitation District agrees to the construction and placement of the three (3)-phase electric power line as stated. Della Terra, LLC, shall dig the trench and provide and place the conduit and wire, at its expense, and the Power Company shall provide and install the cabinets at its expense. Della Terra shall, at its expense, backfill and compact the trench. All construction plans and procedures shall be approved by the Power Company and Grantor. Della Terra shall apply a weed treatment after backfilling the trench, furnish suitable topsoil, reseed with mountain grass seed, and treat for any weeds for a period of two years after all revegetation work is initially completed. Della Terra shall be responsible for obtaining the permit from the Colorado Department of Transportation and shall pay all expenses to bore under U.S. Highway 34 so that the power line can be extended to the Della Terra property to the north. 2. Upper Thompson Sanitation District. Upper Thompson Sanitation District, by these presents, grants permission for the construction, maintenance, and operation of the three (3)-phase electric power line within the Permanent Easement, with the four (4)-foot separation as stated above. Della Terra shall, at its expense, stake the Easement and locate the sewer line. Della Terra shall be responsible for all damage to the sewer line and, in the event of such damage, shall make the repairs in a timely manner with like or similar materials to the existing pipeline in a good and workmanlike manner. While the trench for the power line is open, the District shall be given notice and reasonable access for inspection of possible damage to the sewer line. Any expenses of inspection, including the cost o f any inline camera inspection, shall be paid in full by Della Terra to the District upon written demand by the District supported by written invoices for any inspections performed for the District, including the expenses of work performed by District employees using District equipment in the inspection of the work. The parties further understand and agree that Della Terra was not able to obtain permission for a new electric easement due to future plans on adjacent property and, therefore, it was necessary to be granted the joint use of the existing sewer easement to construct the electric power line. The Power Company prefers, with the expansion of Della Terra, to replace the current single phase service line with a three (3)-phase service line. A three (3)-phase service line presumably has the capacity to run three (3)-phase service, if desired, to U.S. Highway 34. 2 4 .1 4 1 Further, the three (3)-phase electric service line eliminates the need for a gas-diesel fire pump at the Della Terra property to the north, which gas-diesel fire pump could have environmental concerns to the Upper Thompson Sanitation District. 3. Grantor's possible need for access to electrical cabinet. The electrical cabinet shall be accessible to the adjacent properties. This would include the parcels on the south side of U.S. Highway 34 adjacent to the Easement and on the north side of U.S. Highway 34 adjacent to the north side of U.S. Highway 34 and running east. 4. The parties agree that nothing contained herein shall empower the Power Company, or grant to the Power Company the right to annex Grantor' s property. 5. This Electric Power Line Easement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Thomjwl tu-_1 Memo «1--Rtifi) To: Jacquie Halburnt, Town Administrator 4 From: Lowell Richardson, Deputy Town Administrati CC: Scott Zurn, Director of Public Works Date: 8/13/2008 Re: Noxious Weed Management Plan In response to Mr. George Hockman's statement that, the Town of Estes Park does not currently have a Noxious Weed Management Plan, staff chose to investigate if his assertion was factual. Mr. Hockman referenced Colorado Revised Statute 35-5.5-106 (Noxious Weed Management - Municipal Authority). A review of that statute revealed four main components, they are 1) That all municipalities shall adopt a noxious weed management plan. 2) That all municipalities shall provide for the administration of a noxious weed management plan. 3) That municipalities may cooperate with adjoining counties for the exercise of their powers related to management of noxious weeds. 4) That municipalities who have adopted local ordinances to manage noxious weeds have in fact adopted a noxious weed management plan and meeting the requirements of the state statute. After reviewing our Town Ordinances specifically Chapter 8, section 8.04.030 (Noxious Weeds) and 8.04.040 (Abatement of nuisances, including waste material, unsanitary conditions and NOXIOUS WEEDS) the Town of Estes Park is in compliance with the state statute In addition the Town does provide for spraying of noxious weeds on all Town owned properties. Please see attached Town Ordinances and State Statutes referenced within this memorandum. 1 35-5.5-106. Noxious weed management - municipal authority.

BOX 2740 • ESTES PARK, COLORADO 80517 PHONE 970-577-4470 • FAX 970-586-9514 E-mail: raustin@epmedcenter.com Robert Austin Chief Executive Officer 1 Im-@ [E D-FFFI August 18,2008 AUG 26 2008 ~, Mr. Bill Pinkham, Mayor -fly- Town of Estes Park 170 MacGregor Ave. Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear Mayor Pinkham and Town Trustees: On behalf of the community we serve, the Estes Park Medical Center respectfully requests the Town of Estes Park to grant us a waiver of the building plan and inspection fees, estimated by the Town staff to be approximately $15,000 - $18,000 for the Emergency Department expansion project. We are very excited about this project and the positive impact it will have for the Estes Park community. We realize that we are asking for a generous contribution from the Town in the form of this fee waiver, and our hope is that you will join the many fine people in the community who have given personal gifts to make this life-saving project possible. Some of the reasons for this request are as follows: • Through reduced project costs, Estes Park Medical Center will keep charges to our customers lower. • The Town of Estes Park is a governmental entity just as the Park Hospital District is, and the waiver of fees would appear to reduce either entity from passing on costs to the paying consumer. • The Emergency Department customarily has a higher percentage of its charges written off as uncollectible and is an expensive area of the total facility. • We are still a tax supported entity that almost continually has to go to the public for donations to make up for tax and reimbursement shortfalls. • We continue to be mandated by State and Federal law to provide services to all with little effective means o f recovering our costs. • During previous construction projects by Estes Park Medical Center the Town has waived such fees. Please review the October 28,2005 Town of Estes Park Office Memorandum (memorandum attached) where in section IKE) it states "The Town should continue with official policy to waive all permit fees, except costs incurred for outside consultants to be borne by the EPMC." • As recently as October 4,2007 (minutes attached), the Community Development Committee identified that hospital special districts may be exempted from these fees.

Mr. Bill Pinkham, Mayor Page 2 From our perspective, we have done everything possible to hold down the cost ofthis project. In recent months we have completely redesigned the facility, applying a number of value engineering techniques to reduce the overall cost and have made substantial progress. Even so, this project will consume all our donated funds, as well as, a large investment from our limited cash resources to complete. Through the years, we have been very grateful for the strong relationship we have enjoyed with the Town as we work together to provide essential services to the community. We appreciate your review and consideration of our request in waiving these fees.
