Work Process for EVDC Changes Draft for Comments: 6/11/09 This draft is based on County Commissioner Kathay Rennels' June 4 description of the Larimer County process for code changes. 1. A perceived need is brought to the attention of the Estes Park Board of Trustees or the Larimer County Commissioners. 2. Trustees or County Commissioners discuss the issue and decide whether any action is necessary, and if so, whether: a. A code change is needed, or b. Other action is required. 3. If a code change is needed, Trustees or County Commissioners develop and agree on a written problem statement which is sent to the Estes Valley Planning Commission, defining the problem to be solved and the boundaries or constraints within which solutions should be considered. (See next page for a sample Problem Statement template.) 4. Estes Valley Planning Commissioners review the problem statement and: a. Identify questions or issues that need further discussion or clarification; b. Develop initial thoughts on what the types of code revisions may be needed to solve the problem, and the implications (pro and con) of these revisions; c. Post the problem statement and the Planning Commission's initial thoughts for public comments; and, d. Send their questions and thoughts to the Trustees and/or County Commissioners. 5. Estes Valley Planning Commissioners meet with Trustees and/or County Commissioners to reach final agreement on what problem(s) to solve, and what types of solutions should be considered, before Staff begins any work on specific code changes. 6. Estes Valley Planning Commissioners provide Staff with a finalized problem statement, and specific guidelines on what is (and is not) to be addressed in the draft changes. 7. Staff brings the proposed changes to the Planning Commission for public review. 8. Planning Commission holds public review and makes recommendations to the Trustees and County Commissioners, who make the final decisions to approve or disapprove the changes. Work Process for EVDC Changes Draft Template for Problem Statement (Words in parentheses describe what to include under each heading) Words in italics are example language To: Estes Valley Planning Commission From: Estes Park Board of Trustees and/or Larimer County Commissioners Purpose: (State problem to be solved in 2-3 sentences.) Current code requires the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) to determine whether a development will result in significant adverse impact on wildlife and wildlife habitat; CDOW does not want to be in this role. In addition, current code does not explicitly state that a developer' s wildlife mitigation plan must be judged effective, and does not clearly define the Planning Commission's authority to deny applications whose mitigation plans are not adequate. These issues caused major confusion for the developer, neighbors, and the Planning Commission during consideration of the Wapiti Crossing development. Scope: (Explain what is and is not to be considered, any other constraints or boundaries within which the work is to be kept, and expected timing.) 1. Revise the Code to remove the requirement that CDOW determinJ significant adverse impact of a proposal 2. Add language to this section to clarify that a mitigation plan must be found effective by the Planning Commission as a condition of approval, and that the Planning Commission may deny an application, or request additional conditions, based on the adequacy of the mitigation plan. 3. Make no other changes at this time. 4. Bring recommendations to the Town Board by (date). Desired Outcomes: (Describe the benefits to be gained by solving this problem.) Developers and the public will more clearly understand the process for assessing wildlife habitat requirements and mitigation plans in advance. The process for reviewing and approving such applications will proceed more smoothly and with less effort. Developed Bv: (List Trustees/County Commissioners who participated in defining the problem, and the date.)

Perhaps it comes from the community emotion that inevitably surrounds local land use issues. Perhaps it is rooted in a lack of clarity about their different roles. Whatever the origins of this tension, the relationship is frequently a source of debate and occasionally a source of friction. I would like to offer a few thoughts on what that relationship might ideally look like and make some suggestions on how to encourage that positive result. A misunderstanding of roles is the most frequent barrier to a positive relationship between councils and planning boards. What are the roles? The Council begins with the responsibility of appointing the members of the Board. It is the Council's job to create a capable Board with a balance of experience and expertise. However, the Council then needs to leave the Board to do its job. The two groups have distinctly different jobs. Councilors are policy makers. They are elected by and are responsive to the public whom they represent in all its various constituencies. The Board members, on the other hand, are not policy makers. They are appointed to work within the ordinances adopted by the Council. They work within already established policy and do not change policy based on public comment. Even if the room is packed with citizens arguing that a permitted use be denied in a site plan hearing, it is not the Planning Board's role to change what is or is not permitted. It is their role to apply the given ordinance. If the public does not like what the ordinance permits, then the Council is the place to get it changed. Similarly, if the Board is concerned about the impacts of applying a given ordinance, their option is to recommend changes to the Council. Even in the process of rewriting or developing new ordinances, the Council is http://www.plannersweb.com/articles/plu034.html 6/8/2009 *litilliliM~*MG PCJ Article: "Town Councils and Planning Boards," by Pamela Plumb Page 2 of 3 still the policy maker. Tlie Board functions like a technical consultant to the Council recommending effective ways to accomplish the general community goals requested by the Council. The Council gives a sense of direction to the Board. The Board then uses its specialized background and expertise to make recommendations back to the Council. The recommendations may be creative and far reaching. They may be more complex or technically innovative than the Council ever imagined. But, it is the Council that makes the final decision with whatever political considerations it deems appropriate. Each role is vital to a smoothly functioning community. But they are separate. If the Board tries to set policy or the Council tries to interfere with the application of the ordinance or fails to value the technical advice of the Board, confusion and trouble will follow. Equally important to a positive relationship is effective and appropriate communication. When and how should the Council and the Board communicate? Should Councilors lobby Board members as the Board carries out its work? Should Board members consult with individual Councilors before making decisions or recommendations? Neither is likely to be helpful. There needs to be a way for the Council to provide collective guidance, rather than disjointed or individual points of view which might not represent the view of the whole. There needs to be a way for the Board to share with the Council the background and thought process that leads up to a recommendation for a zone change or a new ordinance. Although much of the work in small towns seems to get done around people's kitchen tables or in the aisles of the grocery store, clear and formal avenues of communication are important. There are some specific steps that could enhance communication: • A yearly workshop to review and agree on roles, to discuss common community goals, and to establish the general work agenda for the year. • A regular update letter or progress report from the Board to the Council and vice versa on issues of mutual interest. • Enough workshop time together before major issues so that recommendations can be fully understood and questions answered before the political debate. • Agreement on ground rules for joint meetings, public statements and informal workshops which include mutual respect. • Facilitated joint workshops on issues that have created or have the potential to create difficulties between the two groups. • Zoning and ordinance development processes that provide for community input early in the process thus reducing the likelihood of conflict. The bottom line for a positive and productive working relationship between the Council and the Planning Board is a clear understanding of their different roles, a regular communications system and a healthy understanding of, appreciation and respect for each other's jobs.

Memo To: Estes Valley Planning Commission From: Bob Joseph 12.ez3 CC: Jacquie Halbumt, Eric Blackhurst, Richard Homeier Date: June 1,2009 Re: Regulation of Non-conforming Uses and Structures Recent discussion of land use regulation has brought up questions concerning the regulation of non-conforming structures and uses. It is my opinion that the current regulations in the Estes Valley Development Code found in Chapter Six are ordinary in their scope and general approach to these matters. l 4- What is a nonconforming use? A nonconforming use is a land use, or a structure, which was allowed under local land development regulations when established, but would not be permitted under current development regulations. In deciding how to treat nonconforming uses, local governments must strike a balance between two competing principles: (1) The intended outcome, when a local government changes its planning goals and policies and then enacts revised land development regulations, is to have all development and land use ultimately conform to those regulations. (2) It is unfair to require termination of a use or demolition of a structure that was constructed or commenced in compliance with the law when the owner, relying on the legality of the land use or structure at the time, incurred expenses in establishing the structure or use. Nonconforming uses are about the right to maintain a structure or land use despite changes in land development regulations to the contrary. The usual approach of local governments is to "grandfather" nonconforming uses - to state that the land use may continue, so long as it was legal at the time it commenced. When a nonconforming use is terminated or a nonconforming structure is vacant for a certain period, (e.g. twelve months or more), then the protection of grandfathering is lost. 1 Resumption of the nonconforming use or occupancy is not allowed. The grandfather protection does not apply to major renovations or expansions of a nonconforming ( structure, though it does typically protect routine maintenance and repair. The Estes Valley Development Code language and the intent it expresses is very similar to the majority of such regulations to be found anywhere in the state of Colorado and elsewhere in the United States. I have attached a commentary on this subject authored by a prominent Colorado land use attorney, Don Elliott. Also, I have included a copy of the EVDC language and the conesponding Larimer County and Boulder County language for comparison. I hope this will be useful background information as we move forward with future code revisions. Please let me know your thoughts and comments on this subject, and thank you for time and effort. 4 . , , h ¥ ,. ' U. 4 . 1- Colorado Land Planning And Development Law Sixth Edition Donald L. Elliott General Editor L_ A Publication of the American Planning Association - Colorado Chapter Graham Billingsley President Larry G. Mugler APA Colorado Liaison L.- BRADFORD PUBLISHING COMPANY Denver, Colorado Colorado Land Planning and Development Law Colorado, the validity of a development agreement limiting the local gov- ernment's power to rezone the property for a period of 35 years has been upheld, although this time period is much longer than those upheld in many other jurisdictions.94 This topic is discussed in more detail in Chapter 7 (Vested Rights). F. Nonconforming Uses, Structures, and Lots I 9 1. Nonconforming Uses 61% 2 A nonconfc;rming use is a use that Was lAwful prior to the Kdoption of a zoning regulation prohibiting the use. Taking preliminary steps towards establishing a use that is later made nonconforming is not the same as hav- ing a pre-existing nonconforming use. In order to be treated as a noncon- forming use, the use must actually exist prior to the zoning change that made it nonconforming.95 Owners of property with nonconforming uses are often given the right to continub the prohibited use as a "legal noncon- forming use" in order to allow them timb to recoup their investments in the Q) property made when the use was lawful. This notion is sometimes referred to informally as "grandfathering." Requiring immediate compliance with a regulation that suddenly prohibits a previously legal use is often consid- ered an unreasonable exercige 'of a 16261 gRUrnment's zoning authority as the property owner loses not only a future use cif the property, but also the value of any previous investment in improvements to the property for legal purposes.x An owner's right to continue a nonconforming use, however, is not absolute, and zoning powers are frequently used to restrict such uses and to cause their removal over. time.97 The ,,General Assembly gave counties explicit authority to provide for the termination of nonconforming uses by various means. C.R.S. § 30-28-120. Accordingly, the owner usually has no absolute right to indefinite continuation of a non-conforming use.98 The Colorado Supreme Court has stated:that zoning provisions allowing non- conforming uses should be str~ctly construed and zoning provisions restrict- ing nonconforming uses should be liberally construed. The court also noted that nonconforming uses are disfavored and should be eliminated as quick- ly as possible because they reduce the effectiveness of zoning ordinances, depress property values, and contribute to the growth of urban blight.99 68 Chapter 2: Zoning The most common restrictions on nonconforming uses are (a) a ban on enlargement or expansion of the nonconforming use, (b) a ban on a change in the character of the nonconforming use to cover new or additional non- conforming uses,100 (c) a ban on replacement of the structure containing the nonconforming use if it is destroyed beyond a threshold value (normally 50% to 80% of the value), and (d) a ban on restarting the nonconforming use or any other nonconforming use in question after the use has become inactive for a stated period of time. Some home rule municipalities provide that non-conforming uses that are enlarged or expanded without permis- sion may be terminated, and the Colorado Court of Appeals has upheld such a provision. 101 If an owner loses the value of his or her investment for some reason not associated with the zoning ordinance, the justification for allowing the con- tinuance of a nonconforming use disappears.102 For example, if the building containing the nonconforming use is destroyed by fire, the owner's invest- ment in that particular building is gone, and the' owner stands in the same relation to the zoning regulation as anyone else.103 The same reasoning sup- ports prohibition of the expansion or enlargement of a nonconforming use.104 The fact that the owner has kn investment in a building housing a newly pr6hibited use does not mean that themunicipality or county must allow continued investment to prolong or expand that use, and jurisdic- tions generally prohibit duch investment. Similarly, abandonment or dis- continuahce of the 'nonconforming use by the owner also constitutes grounds for termination of the nonconforming use. The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that a nonconforming use may be terminated after a rea- sonable period of time during which th6 use has been discontinued regard- less of whether the owner intends to abandon the use.105 The right to a nonconforming use runs with the land. Buying or selling the property doek not terminate the right to continue a nonconforming use and does not coristitute an unlawful extension 6f the use.106 In the past, a Color'ado local government could Fequire the termination of a lionconforming use at the end of a reasonable""amortization" period specified by ordinance, even though nonconforming improvements retained some residual value.107 The rationale behind an amortization peri- od is that an owner will not lose the value of his or her investment if the amortization period approximaies the useful economic life of the noncon- 69 Colorado Land Planning and Development Law forming improvements. If the amortization period is too short to be rea- sonable, then it is arguable that the particular ordinance is unconstitution- al because it results in a taking without due process.108 Even though an amortization scheme is generally a legitimate method to phase out a nonconforming use, amortization is not allowed if it is.in conflict with a state statute concerning a matter of mixed or statewide con- cern. For example, the, Colorado Supreme Court has held that an ordi- nance requiring the removal of signs located within 660 feet of an interstate , . or federal-aid primary highway at the end of an amortization period con- flicts with and is preempted by the Colorado Outdoor Advertising Act. 109 Editor's Note: During the 2003 legislative session, the Colorado General Assembly passed SB 03-1089 purporting to eliniinate the use 6f "amorti- zation" as W Way of conipensating landowners for the elimination of non- conforming uses atid structures in general. , r 2. Nonconforming Structures and Signs; Ck. Ji A nbnconforming structure is a structure that is lawfully erected or -I altdred'ih cohformity with applicable zoning regulations but subsequently becoink noncdnforniing due to a change in those regulations. For exhnipld, a bUilding ; construked lawfully at a 0 height of 60 feet would, .... , f. 4 become 'a 'nonconforming structuiJE if the Alaximum height in the 1 1 4. j 0 applicable zone distribt is subsequently rpduded to 45 feet.

Nonconforming Lots A third type of nonconformity occurs when a platted lot is too small, or has too little frontage, for the zone district in which it is located. Usually this occurs when the lots were platted as old-style townsites, before mod- ern subdivision statutes were in place, or before an area began to develop with larger lots. Owners of nonconforming lots are often allowed to con- tinue using them for uses allowed in the zone district in order to avoid claims that the larger lot size requirement has "taken" all economic use of their property and to avoid having many vacant lots. However, some juris- dictions limit the use of nonconforming lots to situations where the owner does not also own adj acent lots (i. e., where the owner cannot cure the non- conformity by merging two small lots into one larger lot). In addition, many local governments require that the building constructed on a non- ( conforming lot meet all setback requirements in the zone district-which can limit the size of the building that can be constructed. Increasingly, local governments are requiring that adjacent substandard lots in common own- ership be "merged" for purposes of zoning, either formally or informally. G. Solutions to Specific Zoning Problems 1. Rezoning/Amendment Rezoning is the process by which the current permitted uses on a par- ticular property-or in all or part of the municipality or county-are changed by amending the local government's zoning regulations or zoning map. As such, rezoning is merely another aspect of a local government's power to zone property within its jurisdiction,112 and is generally subject to the same standards and limitations discussed in subsection E above. A rezoning can be initiated by a property owner, the governmental jurisdic- tion itself, or at the initiative of the county or municipal electors.113 Comprehensive rezonings of all or a large part of the municipality or county are relatively rare, and are deemed to be exercises of local govern- ment legislative powers.114 Nevertheless, some local governments have suc- cessfully completed large scale rezonings of land to be in compliance with 71 a\Juo ( CHAPTER 6.

NONCONFORMING USES, STRUCTURES AND LOTS § 6.1 APPLICABILITY A General, The provisions of this Chapter shall apply to uses, structures (except signs) and lots that were legally existing as of the effective date of this Code, February 1, 2000, but that become nonconforming as the result of the application of this Code to them or from reclassification of the property under any subsequent amendments to this Code. B. Signs. For provisions applicable to nonconforming signs, see Chapter 8. § 6.2 PURPOSE It is the general policy under this Code to allow nonconforming uses, structures or lots to continue to exist and to be put to productive use. The limitations of this Chapter are intended to recognize the interests of property owners in continuing to use their property but to reasonably control expansions, reestablishment of discontinued uses and the reestablishment of nonconforming buildings and structures that have been substantially destroyed. § 6.3 CONTINUATION OF NONCONFORMING USES OR STRUCTURES A Authority to Continue. Nonconformities shall be allowed to continue in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter. B. Repairs and Maintenance. Repairs and normal maintenance required to keep nonconforming uses and structures in a safe condition shall be permitted, provided that no alterations shall be made except those allowed by this Chapter or required by law or ordinance. C. Alteration/Extension of Nonconforming Uses and Structures. 1. Alteration/Extension of· Nonconforming Uses Prohibited Subject to the provisions of this Chapter, a nonconforming use shall not be altered or extended. The extension of a nonconforming use to a portion of a structure which was built for the nonconforming use at the time of adoption of this Code is not an extension of a nonconforming use. 2. Alteration/Extension of Nonconforming Structures LirAited. Except as a\\owed in §58.C below, a structure conforming as to use, but nonconforming as to height, setback or coverage, may be altered or extended, provided hat the alteration or extension does not result in a new violation of this Code or increase the degree or extent of the existing nonconformity. (See §3.6, 'Variances"; a variance may be sought to permit alterations or extensions to a nonconforming structure not otherwise allowed by this Chapter.) D. Nonconforming as to Parking. 1. Noncoriformity as to off-street parking or loading shall not- subject the use to the conditions of this Chapter. 2. A use that is nonconforming as to off-street parking or loading shall not be changed to another use requiring more off-street parking or loading unless the additional required parking or loading is provided. 3. The Board of Adjustment may permit a nonconforming use to provide required off- street parking or loading on a lot other than the lot on which the use is located. § 6.4 CHANGE OF NONCONFORMING USE A. A If a nonconforming use is changed, it shall be changed to a use conforming to tile regulations of the zoning district and, after the change, it shall not be changed back again to a nonconforming use. B. B. A nonconforming use may be changed to a conforming use in phases over time, provided that such phasing'is in accordance with a development plan approved pursuant to the procedures set forth in §3.8 of this Code. § 6.5 DISCONTINUANCE OF NONCONFORMING USE If a nonconforming use is abandoned or discontinued for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months, further use of the property or structure shall be for a conforming use ahd its nonconforming status shall terminate. § 6.6 DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF A NONCONFORMING STRUCTURE OR STRUCTURE CONTAINING A NONCONFORMING USE If a nonconforming structure or a structure containing a nonconforming use is damaged or destroyed by fire, flood, wind, explosion or act of God, th6 nonconformirig structure or use may continue, but restoration shall, be started within one (1) year of such calamity and shall be completed within three (3) years of initiating restoration. § 6.7 ZONING DISTRICT CHANGES Whenever the boundaries of a zoning district shall be changed so as to transfer an ar@a from one (1) district to another district of a different classification, this Chapter shall apply to any nonconforming uses existing therein, , ~u, § 6.8 USES ALLOWED ON NONCONFORMING LOTS A Nonconforming Lots in Rdsidential Zonin4 Districts. In all residential zoning disttlets, a lot that is nonconforming as to area,or dimension as of the effective date of this Code may be occupied by a single-family detached residential use, subject to all other. ®plicable zoning district anddevelopment standards unless a variance is granted by the Board of Adjustnient. B. Nonconforming Lots in Nonresidential Zoning Districts. In all nonresidential zoning . districts, alot that )s nonconforming as to area or dimension ds of the'effeclive date of this Code may be occupied by any use permitted by right in the zoning district, provided that a by-right accommodations use shall not be developed on a lot with an area less than: 1.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Regular Meeting of the Estes Valley Planning Commission May 19, 2009, 1 :30 p.m. Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall Commission: Chair Doug Klink; Commissioners Wendell Amos, Alan Fraundorf, John Tucker, Betty Hull, Steve Lane, and Ron Norris Attending: Chair Doug Klink, Commissioners Alan Fraundort John Tucker, Betty Hull, and Ron Norris Also Attending: Director Joseph, Town Attorney White, Planner Shirk, Planner Chilcott, Town Board Liaison Homeier, and Recording Secretary Thompson Absent: Commissioners Lane and Amos The following minutes reflect the order of the agenda and not necessarily the chronological sequence. Chair Klink called the meeting to order at 1:30 p.m. Today's meeting will recess prior to the agenda item on Wildlife Habitat Code Revisions, and reconvene at 7:00 p.m. to discuss this item. Director Joseph noted that Commissioner Wendell Amos has resigned from the Planning Commission, effective immediately. His replacement should be named prior to next month's meeting. Commissioner Amos held a seat for the county, and his replacement will be named by the Larimer County Commissioners. 1. PUBLIC COMMENT Tom Ewing/Town Resident was present at today's study session and wants to respond to the memo from the Planning Commission to the Town Board about Accessory Dwelling Units. He noted in addition to Trustee Homeier, the town Staff also has the ability to communicate with the Town Board. From past history, he has observed that the Planning Commission and Town Board are not always on the same page, and that staff could do a better job of communicating the Planning Commission's decision-making process. He believes part of the problem is addressed in his letter to the editor in December, 2008. 2. CONSENT AGENDA Estes Valley Planning Commission minutes dated April 21, 2009. DEVELOPMENT PLAN 09-03 BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS MASTER PLAN - The Lodges at Black Canyon Inn Condominiums located in the east 1/2 of section 24,T5N, R73W, 800 MacGregor Avenue Owner/Applicant Jim Sloan has requested this item be continued to the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting. It was moved and seconded (Hull/Fraundorf) that the Consent Agenda be accepted as amended, and the motion passed unanimously with two absent. 3. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ESTES VALLEY DEVELOPMENT CODE, BLOCK 12 a. SHORT-TERM RENTALS - revisions to vacation home regulations, including revisions to the definition of accommodation use, guest room, guest quarter, household living, and nightly rental in the Estes Valley Development Code Chapter 13, and revisions to distinguish between Bed & Breakfasts and vacation home uses and the districts in which these uses are permitted. Staff Report: Planner Chilcott noted these revisions were drafted approximately two years ago at the direction of Town Board to address concerns about vacation home rentals and B&Bs in residential areas. She indicated that vacation homes are proposed to have more RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 2 May 19, 2009 limitations than B&Bs as to what activities can occur on the property. This proposal moves some of the regulations from the Municipal Code into the Estes Valley Development Code. After last month's meeting and at the request of the Planning Commission, Planner Chilcott made one change on page 4 of the proposed code, exempting the CD-Commercial Downtown zoning district from the "residential charactef' clause in Section 5.1.B.1.d.1. Vacation homes are proposed to be a principal use in all residential districts rather than the current accessory use. Planner Chilcott commented she did not think it was Town Board's intention to require compliance with adequate public facilities regulations (rights-of-way, fire hydrants, etc) in order to have a vacation home. Therefore, language needs to be written to exempt vacation homes from this requirement. Director Joseph explained th& concept of the vacation hdme use allowance, along with limitations on the number of people allowed to stay in one home is geared to be in line with single-family use, which would not change the demand on water, sewer, etc. Town Attorney White responded to questions about property taxes on these dwellings, stating Town Board accepts the fact that there will be some inequities due to the Gallagher Amendment. Attorney White also noted that the Town does try to level the playing field between vacation homes and commercial accommodations properties by charging commercial utility (water and electricity) rates for vacation homes. Public Comment: Cindy Oliver /Town Resident owns a seven-bedroom home and would like to be able to rent it to more than the maximum limit of eight individuals. Director Joseph noted this portion of the code is to provide for the use while protecting the compatibility with the neighborhood. If this regulation is too permissive, the integrity of the entire program is at risk. This number has been in place for quite some time. According to the U.S. census, the average occupancy in the Estes Park area is 2.25 people per dwelling. Frank Theis/County ResidenUB&B Owner would like to see the occupancy limitations be the same as the single-family household definition of eight unrelated individuals or unliMited number of related individuals. Bill'Ellzey/Town ResidenUB&B Owner is concerned this proposal would limit his ability to rent to more than one family at the same time, and asked for clarification about grandfathering. Planner Chilcott noted his business would be grandfathered in, and as long as it continues to be a Bed & Breakfast, the current use could continue. If he stopped the use for 12 months or more, the grandfathering would be null and void. Closed public comment. Commissioner Tucker noted there is a demand for vacation homes and B&Bs, and feels we are doing harm to the overall community of Estes Park if we do not allow this code change. He stated these regulations are being implemented to minimize the impact in single-family neighborhoods. It was moved and seconded (Norris/ Hull) to APPROVE the proposed Block 12 Amendments to the Estes Valley Development Code regarding Short-Term'·Rentals, with staff authorized to revise the draft code language to add an exemption stating a vacation home classification does not trigger the property owner to make improvements to existing adequate public facilities. The motion passed unanimously with two absent. 4.DEVELOPMENT PLAN 6-01B - THE MEADOW REPLAT AND PRELIMINARY CONDOMINIUM MAP & MARY'S MEADOW AMENDED DEVELOPMENT PLAN - Lot 4A, Mary's Lake Replat of Mary's Lake Subdivision - 341 Kiowa Drive Staff Report: Planner Shirk stated this is a request to amend the existing approved development plan, amend an existing subdivision plat, to subdivide two existing lots into four lots (three buildable and one non-buildable outlot), and submission of a preliminary condominium map. The existing 35-unit plan was approved by the Planning Commission in April 2006, with a minor niodification approved at the staff level in February, 2009. The RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 3 May 19, 2009 current request is to amend this development plan by separating into two lots, add eleven more units, and adjust the boundary line with the undeveloped lot to the north. The drainage facilities would be put in a non-buildable outlot, with a joint maintenance agreement. Because the issues of this proposal are all inter-related, the report will outline all three requests, concluding with three separate recommendations. Planner Shirk continued by stating Lot 2A, the northernmost lot, has no development currently proposed although the property is zoned A-Accommodations. Lot 4A, the middle lot, is proposed for short-term accommodations use (less than 30 days), with property management operated through Ponderosa Lodge. Lot 4B, the southern lot, is proposed for multi-family residential. This does not preclude short-term or nightly rentals. Director Joseph commented this proposal is reallocating the same allowable density as the approved plan. The density has not been expanded, only reconfigured. The Development Code encourages open space outlots to protect the natural character of the area. One of the trade- offs in protecting the lower part of the meadow is to add some density to the other portions of the lots. Planner Shirk clarified this current transfer in density takes some of the density away from the existing single-family dwellings and moves it closer to the church where the neighbors will not be as strongly affected. This particular outlot is proposed to be the stormwater drainage area. Planner Shirk is recommending the following statement be added on the plat: "Outlot A land area shall be applied to Lot 2A for density calculation purposes. Maximum density is not guaranteed." Planner Shirk briefly discussed the staff-level minor modification where the former quad units 4 were changed to duplexes. The current proposal requests removing the community building on the southwest corner and adding another duplex in its place. Also, remove the single- family dwellings and the duplexes from the lower part of the meadow and construct build four 9-unit buildings on the west side of the lot. Architectural plans indicate a limited kitchen, which is an allowed use. Planner Shirk noted 36 accommodations units are proposed for Lot 4A, which is less than the 39 allowed for the net land area involved. It is an increase from the original development plan. Concerning Lot 4B, 10 duplex units are proposed on an area where a maximum of 12 units would be allowed. According to Planner Shirk, this proposal complies with impervious coverage limits, as well as the provision for pedestrian linkages. This new plan is less fragmented, which has benefits. The parking stalls have proposed curbs instead of wheel stops, which will take up some of the sidewalk space. A minor modification to the code requirement is being requested by the applicant which will result in an 8.5 foot-wide sidewalk. Straight in parking is planned in order to allow traffic from both directions. Planner Shirk reviewed the floor plans, which included discussion about building height. Also discussed was site disturbance, particularly in what some people believe to be a wetlands area. Planner Shirk pointed out there are three conditions for wetlands - soil type, water, and vegetation. The meadow on the east side did not have wetlands soil. It was declassified after an investigation by a wetlands consultant. Concerning the preliminary condominium map, Planner Shirk noted it is Staff's opinion the subdivision review and development plan review combine to provide adequate review of the preliminary condominium map. A final condominium map would be submitted when at least one unit is substantially complete. Planner Shirk indicated the proposed Limits of Disturbance meet the criteria required. Planner Shirk stated there has been some interest and concern from adjacent property owners in the area, which has been included in the reading materials. The concerns vary from increase in density to exterior materials being used. Others are concerned about wind turbines and solar panels being proposed and installed. Other concerns mentioned height, blocked views, and a change in character of the neighborhood by allowing short-term residents. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 4 May 19, 2009 Planner Shirk then reviewed the Staff Findings and Recommendations as listed in the Staff Report. He pointed out the condition from Will Birchfield concerning the accessibility plan to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disability Act. Commissioner Hull questioned why there were no comments from the Fire District. Director Joseph noted the current development plan does not have driveways, which resulted in concern with the prior proposal. The proposed plan removes those buildings from the, nieadow, and thus, removes the fire access concern. Planner Shirk stated the application includes ISO calculations and would be in compliance. Public Comment: Jim Tawney/Property Owner stated his opinion that the wetlands area being discussed was not a wetlands area until the state put the highway in without sufficient drainage. Frank Theis/Project Developer noted the wetlands study was reviewed by the Corps of Engineers. The original co-housing plan never received the community support that was needed in order to break ground on the project. This new project will be certified "green." Staff supported moving the project out of the meadow and pulling units up on the west side of the 16t. If the current probosal is not accepted, they will continue to build the approved plan. Therb have been many adjustments to the proposed plan in order to appease the neighbors. Chair Klink called a 10-minute recess at 3:23 p.m. The meeting rec6nvened at 3:30 p.m. Commissioner Hull questioned the non-alignment of this project with the Comprehensive Plan, and opposes this development plan for that reason and also due to neighbor concerns. If approved, she would like to see the project designed in a western rustic architectural style. Commissioner Klink reminded those in attendance that the Comprehensive Iflan is not a code, but a recommendation. Planner Shirk recommends approval of "The Meadow" Development Plan 06-01 B with the conditions outlined in the Staff Report. Public Comment: Ken Sibilia, speaking on behalf of the Mary's Lake Lodge Condominium Board, believes the level of communication is deficient. Mr. Sibilia believes this plan is intrusive to the current property owners, and the new structures do not fit with the historic landmark. Dave Shultz/Town Resident questioned the final height of the project, as well as whether or not the wetlands area was correctly declassified. He opposes this development plan based on belief it will change the character of the neighborhood, damage wildlife and riparian corridors, and deprive him of views of Mary's Lake and the meadow. Mr. Schultz questioned the density calculations and allowance of limited kitchens in the units. Noting the proposed solar panels that would face his home, he thinks the impacts of going "green" should be placed on the people that are benefiting, not their neighbors. Mr. Schultz questioned landscaping requirements determined by the planning department, thinking the trees and shrubs should be larger. It is his opinion to not issue a certificate of occupancy until all landscaping is complete or guaranteed. Planner Shirk clarified density calculations. Tom Greslin/Town Resident believes the drawings in the application are not accurate, and would like staff to review the construction plans. Also, Staff directed the designers to change the configuration of the driveway in order to avoid headlight disturbance at his home, and he does not think this was accomplished. Kent Snapp/Town Resident commended Frank Theis for saving Mary's Lake Lodge. He believes the density in the Mary's Lake areas has changed, and thinks there is foo much property allocated to accommodations. He opposes the development. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 5 May 19, 2009 Tiffany Gordon/Town Resident bought her condo because of views, and opposes the development. Closed public comment. Commissioner Klink indicated a continuance was in order to review the plan in light of the public comment received today. Applicant Jim Tawney reluctantly agreed to a continuation. Commissioner Norris' primary concern is the visual impact, and he wants to make sure the Commission has the most up-to-date construction drawings. Commissioner Tucker noted this type of development is allowed in this zoning district. He suggested the commission taking a tour of the area to gain a better understanding. Commissioner Klink reminded the other Commissioners that there is an approved plan they can build. Commissioner Fraundorf is concerned with the visual impact and how this development compares to recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Klink asked Town Attorney White to explain in the next study session how the Comprehensive Plan relates to the Estes Valley Development Code. Applicant Tawney reminded Commissioners that although Mary's Lake Lodge is a historic property, it is not classified as a historic district. It was moved and seconded (Hull/Fraundorf) to CONTINUE The Meadow Amended Development Plan 06-01 B to the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously with two absent. It was moved and seconded (Hull/Fraundorf) to CONTINUE The Meadow Replat to the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously with two absent. It was moved and seconded (Hull/Fraundorf) to CONTINUE The Meadow Preliminary Condominium Map to the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously with two absent. The meeting recessed at 4:45 p.m. Chair Klink reconvened the meeting at 7:00 p.m. 1. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ESTES VALLEY DEVELOPMENT CODE, BLOCK 12 a. WILDLIFE HABITAT PROTECTION - proposed changes to §7.8 Wildlife Habitat Protec#on, to provide review standards for land identified as critical wildlife habitat, require preparation of a wildlife habitat conservation plan for land identified as critical wildlife habitat, and provide for Planning Commission review of said conservation plan. Staff Report: Planner Chilcott gave a brief overview of the history behind the proposed code revisions, noting discussion at Planning Commission and Town Board meetings began in September, 2008. The current proposal would trigger a wildlife habitat assessment on land identified as containing critical habitat, based on the Estes Valley Wildlife Habitat Assessement produced by EDAW. Planner Chilcott noted 75% of all species in this area are dependent on riparian habitat, which makes up 1 % of the land. Staff recommended that setbacks be increased to 50 feet, with some of the reasons being wildlife habitat protection, water quality, stream stabilization, and flood protection. Director Joseph noted Staff received clear direction from the Commission there should be a two-tiered system, one for rivers and separate tier for streams and drainages, which is less restrictive. It was also proposed to make setback decisions on a building-by-building basis; for example, if there was a building 30 feet from the river, it could be maintained, expanded vertically, or removed and rebuilt in the same footprint without going through a variance process and the building would be grandfathered in with the RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 6 May 19, 2009 existing setback. Director Joseph clarified that any new construction would have to conform to the setback. If you want to expand the building, you could not exceed the degree of encroachment or nonconformity without getting a variance. Public Comment: Lloyd Claypool/Local property owner does not want the value of his property decreased due to Planning Commission decisions. Jim Tawney/Town Resident opposes any setback changes. Gary Coleman/Local business owner opposes any setback changes. His business is on the river. Elizabeth Repola/Town Resident opposes the proposed setbacks. Appreciates wildlife, but thinks there is enough surrounding land for them. Before setbacks are changed we need to look at the economic analysis of new restrictions and seek additional input from property owners. . Thomas Beck/County Resident opposes any changes. He thinks it would be very difficult to write language and have it interpreted the same every time. He is questioning where the edge of the river and riparian habitat is., Mike Wallace does not think setbacks should be changed, except possibly for new developments. Ray Duggans/Local Builder believes changes in setbacks could affect building envelopes. If setbacks are changed, they should be changed across the board, including downtown. Frank Theiss/Local Builder is concerned about adding the term aquatic habitat, which could include seasonal streams. The definitions are unclear to him. Shelly Powers & Wendy Sykes/Local Business Owners opposes setbacks, which would render much of her property unbuildable. Michael Menard/Estes Valley Contractor's Association (EVCA) President believes all affected property owners should be notified by mail. EVCA agrees that if setbacks are changed, they should be from the high water mark and not the riparian setback. He commended the Planning Commission and Staff for taking on this challenging subject. Supports the idea, "if it's not broken, don't fix it." Lonnie Sheldon/Local Business Owner feels uncomfortable about the town restricting development, when he believes there are paths and trails installed by the Town that are more destructive than a building. Ken Arnold/Local Resort Owner on the river wants to be assured his business can compete with others in the industry if changes are made. Dave Albee/Town Resident suggests requesting open space designations on newer properties with significant amounts of land betwden the home and the river. He believes the wildlife habitat revisions should go hand in hand with an open space plan. Cheri Pettyjohn/Town Resident believes all affected property owners should be notified before any changes are made, and also questioned the mapping process. Sandy Lindquist/Town Resident would like to see an open space study completed and then integrate the wildlife study into it before too many changes are made to this code. Jim Tawney/Town Resident thinks there are too many variables in order to make a decision. Closed public comment. Commission and Staff Discussion: Commissioner Norris likes the suggestion about integrating an open space plan into the wildlife habitat code revisions. Commissioner Tucker believes we need a commitment from the Town Board to complete an open space plan. Upon request, Planner Chilcott again reviewed the chart that listed current and proposed setbacks. She noted if this item is tabled, there would be no triggers for a wildlife assessment for any review processes and the Colorado Division of Wildlife's role in the decision-making process would still be in the code. Director Joseph stated the difficult issues we have been dealing with the last few years are similar to those in other communities, including the frustrations. He believes a successful program would be where habitat protection is judged to be important enough to pass RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 7 May 19, 2009 regulations and assessments of land or sales tax combined with an open space program. For some, an open space program would be too restrictive, and for others not restrictive enough. He pointed out that typically there is a blend between an open space plan and regulations. Discussion between the Commissioners revolved around the idea of tabling the code revisions, requesting an open space plan, and taking more time to reach a conclusion on this topic. Director Joseph reminded the Commissioners that this Commission initiated the directive to Staff to draft these wildlife habitat code revisions. Also, he believes than an open space plan will not make the tough decisions any easier. The Commission directed Staff to revise those portions of the code that would remove the Colorado Division of Wildlife from the review process and update the wildlife habitat maps. It was moved and seconded (Klink/Norris) to TABLE the proposed amendments to Block 12 of the Estes Valley Development Code concerning Wildlife Habitat Protection until there is an open space study completed. The motion passed with Commissioners Norris, Tucker, and Klink voting in favor, and Commissioners Hull and Fraundorf voting against. There were two absent. 2. ADOPTION OF THE 2008 ESTES VALLEY HABITAT It was moved and seconded (TuckedNorris) to TABLE the proposed 2008 Estes Valley Habitat Assessment until there is an open space study completed. The motion passed with Commissioners Norris, Tucker, and Klink voting in favor, and Commissioners Hull and Fraundorf voting against. There were two absent. 3. REPORTS Director Joseph reported there have been three permits issued to construct helix-type wind turbines on monopoles that meet all height limits and setback requirements. He would like to facilitate another public forum on wind turbines. This technology is unproven in the Estes Valley, and it is important to gain as much knowledge as possible prior to regulating this energy alternative. Director Joseph also reported on pre-application meetings with land owners and developers. One project is a new fueling facility, while the other is a development plan for a small assisted-living facility. If the owners choose to continue with the proposals, both of these reviews will be conducted at the staff level, as required by the EVDC. Planner Shirk provided an update on the Sunfield Development Plan, stating FEMA wants to reevaluate their conditional letter of approval and issue a revised decision. The pre- application meeting to subdivide the lots has been postponed until the new letter is received. YMCA is almost finished with the Grand Lodge, and will soon be requesting their certificate of occupancy. Della Terra is almost complete, and will also be requesting their certificate of occupancy. There being no further business, Chair Klink adjourned the meeting at 8:35 p.m. Doug Klink, Chair Karen Thompson, Recording Secretary E Blue Spruce Village/Greeley-Boulder .6407 Colony Amended Plat ~-=~„- Estes Park Community Development Department ~ Municipal Building, 170 MacGregor Avenue ~ PO Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 DATE: June 16,2009 REQUEST: To adjust the internal lot line between two lots originally created in 1918.

CC: Celine LeBeau, Van Horne Engineering f f 4 4 TO: Dave Shirk, Planner 11 FROM: Aspen Brook Townhomes Homeowners Association Board of Directors RE: Blue Spruce Subdivision The Board of Directors of the ABHOA would like to make the following comments with regard to the proposed Amended Plat of Lot 1, Blue Spruce Subdivision and part of Lot 9 & 10, Greeley-Boulder Colony, 2250 Hwy 66. At the present time we are unaware of any easements that would permit the addition of utility service across Aspen Brook property to the subject subdivision, nor for residential or commercial traffic. We would oppose any additional residential or construction traffic through Aspen Brook to the subject property, except that which would be necessary to connect to the sewer. We have recently had our subdivision's sewer system connected to the Upper Thompson Sanitation District sewer line running along Hwy 66. We have a manhole that is downhill from the west portion of the subject's property, and, therefore, sewer service would be possible. That manhole and the eight inch sewer line that flow to the UTSD line have not yet been accepted by the UTSD. The securing of their acceptance would involve considerable engineering, construction costs, and a sharing of our cost in making our connection with the UTSD that included a crossing under the Big Thompson River. In addition our Association would require that all incidental costs would be borne by the subject subdivision. Finally, a vote by the membership of the ABHOA would be required to approve the granting of the needed utility easement. 3 1 0 * r.4, I L. e 1 .*L€ 41 f . STATEMENT OF INTENT for the Amended Plat of Lot 1, Blue Spruce Village Subdivision and Lot 10 and a Part of Lot 9, Greeley-Boulder Colony Subdivision April 22,2009 The intent ofthis Amended Plat is to reconfigure two adjoining lots that are owned by two separate parties, requested by Brent and Janel Maher, the owners of Lot 1 (and property adjacent to the east Lot boundary). Currently there is a house, garage, and associated utilities on Lot 1. Lot10/9 (Lot 10 and Part of Lot 9, ofthe Greeley-Boulder Colony Subdivision) contains a small stone pump-house. Both Lots are adjacent to the Big Thompson River, which defines the northwestern Lot boundaries. Currently, the common Lot boundary traverses the backyard (defined by use and topography) of the existing hdme on Lot 1. Brent and Janel Maher have resolved to purchase the piece of land that would complete their backyard form the owners of Lot 9/10, Krotter/Johnson Family Cabins, LLC. No improvements or utility alterations are proposed for either Lot. Utilities and access that serve Lot 1 are active and in place (refer to the Amended Plat). Water service, electric service, and sewer (from Upper Thompson Sanitation District) are available to Lot 9/10. An overhead electric line and water service line crosses Lot 9/10. A sewer manhble is located on the Aspenbrook property, south of Lot9/10, approximately 370' away (south). A sewer service line could be connected to·this manhole (since it is less than 400' away). Existing access for Lot 9/10 is a dirt drive from the Aspenbrook property, into the southwest portion of the Lot. The owners of Lot 9/10 own several large properties adjacent to the southeast boundary and may also be able to access the Lot from those properties. All known easements are shown on the Amended Plat. The lot is currently zoned A, Accommodations in the Estes Valley Development Code (having 25' setbacks from arterial roads, 15' from other streets, 15' from the side lot lines and 10' from the rear lot line). The use of the Lots will not change as a result ofthis Amended Plat. The Lot acreages will change slightly from 0.62 acres to 0.75 acres for Lot 1, and from 0.73 acres to 0.64 acres for Lot 9/10. No changes in zoning are requested. -~[%© E 0 y Eli.31 APR 2 2 2009 1 ~~ rn r-/ Ch ESTES VALLEY ~,3 L DEVELOPMENT REVIEW APPLIC>u'ION 043 L 1/jtpl~ ARR? 212009. 1 All I /-- Submittal Date: ---- ~_ r Development Plan C Boundary Line Adjustment Condominium Map , -1 1- Special Review r ROW or Easement Vacation r Preliminary Map 1 -t 1 -- 1- Rezoning Petition 1- Street Name Change r Final Map -:I r Preliminary Subdivision Plat r Time Extension r supplemental Map ' 1- Final Subdivision Plat 1- Other: Please specify r Minor Subdivision Plat K Amended Plat - . , 4 4., 3. .*t . . 24 1, Generaf Infbrmation . ~ - 10 I ..

These units would be in addition to twenty-seven existing units. The site also includes a restaurant, four employees units, pool, an outdoor pavilion, and an office. The site is accessed via a private internal street, which also provides access to a small condominium development a single-family dwelling. The applicant proposes development in the eastern and southwestern portions of the site. Staff does not support the proposed development of five units in the southwestern portion of the site, due to limits of disturbance standards outlined in Section 7.2.D of the Estes Valley Development Code. This proposal requires waivers to cul-de-sac length and number of vehicle trips per day; the Town Engineer has approved these waivers for reasons outlined later in the report.

Depending upon the complexity of the project, this section may be a brief summary of the standards of review or may involve a more detailed analysis of the standards based upon issues relevant to any particular project. Zoning Requirements. Land Use. The property is zoned for accommodations and residential use. Density calculations were based on the residential land use category, which is lower density than accommodations units. Page #2 - Black Canyon Inn, Development Plan 09-03 Density. There are twenty-seven (27) existing units, with twenty-six (26) additional units proposed, totaling fifty-nine (59) units. This requires 9.21 acres of net land area, where 12.21 are available. Density requirements vary between unit types. Detached units require 9,000 square feet of net land area each, duplexes require 6,750 square feet, and multi-family units require 5,400 square feet each. Density calculations were based on these requirements and not the 1,800 square feet required for an accommodations unit. In addition to the base density requirements outlined above, density has been modified to account for slope, as required by Section 7.1. For each percentage point by which average slope exceeds twelve percent, the base minimum land area shall be increased by three hundred square feet per unit. The site has an average slope of 16%. Therefore, an additional 1,200 square feet is required per unit. This has been accounted for. The project also includes four employee units. This complies with density limits for employee housing units. Typically, these units would require a deed restriction. However, in this instance the proposal has adequate land area to allow these units "by right," therefore, Staff suggests the deed restriction is not necessary. Density Calculation Base Slope Total Total Number aka/unit Adjustment ared/unit area MF units 52 5,400 1,200 6,600 343,200 Duplex units 6 6,750 1,200 , 7,950 47,700 SF units , 1 9,000 1,200 10,200 10,200 Total Units 59 . 401,100 Gross Land Area 628,006 less 80% floodplain' 49,230 less access easement 46.897 Net Land Area 531,879 s.f. . 12.21 acres Required Land Area 40'MOO's.f. 9.21 acres Impervious Coverage. The "A" district has a maximum impervious coverage of 50%; the proposed 35% complies with this requirement. Impervious coverage will be verified with the required as-built plans. Pedestrian Amenities and Linkage Requirements. Table 4-8 requires provision for pedestrian linkages. The Estes Valley Recreation and Park District has requested a trail along MacGregor Avenue. This is described later in the report. Page #3 - Black Canyon Inn, Development Plan 09-03 Appendix D.V requires that all sidewalks in non-residential zone districts have a minimum width of eight-feet. The applicant proposes a five-foot wide sidewalk along the interior street. Appendix D allows the Town Engineer to grant modifications to this standard, which the Town Engineer has approved (5-foot is the standard width required in residential zone districts). In addition to the street sidewalk, the applicant proposes six-foot wide sidewalks fronting interior parking lots, with 18.5-foot deep parkilig stalls. The proposed parking stall'depth means that one foot of the sidewalk counts toward parking stall depth. This means the width of the sidewalk, in terms of code requirements, would be five feet wide, and not the six delineated on the plat. Because these are interior sidewalks that lead only from the parking lot to the guest units, Staff has granted this modification to sidewalk width (5-feet instead of 8-feet typically required). Setbacks. This proposal complies with the required setbacks, which have been delineated on the development plan. Setbacks vary per lot line. For example, there is a 25-foot setback from property lines adjacent to residentially zoned properties, but 15-foot from property lines adjacent to accommodations zoned properties. The site plan includes a "blanket" 25-foot setback. In addition to property line setbacks, there is a 50-foot setback from wetlands, which has also been delineated on the site plan. The parking area and a portion of the access drive serving Building G eneroach into the required wetland setback. Building Height. Building heights vary from 28-36 feet, and will comply with maximum building height. Staff will verify individual building height with each building permit application, and a surveyor will field verify finish fioor elevations (as well as building locations). Grading and Site Disturbance. Section 7.2 "Grading and Site Disturbance Standards" applies to this proposal. No grading, excavation or tree/vegetation removal shall be permitted, whether to provide for a building site, for on-site utilities or services or for any roads or driveways, before issuance of a building permit. 1 Limits of Disturbance. Section 7.2.D requires the Decision Making Body approve proposed Limits of Disturbance for all development plans. This section includes criteria for establishing Limits of Disturbance. It is Staffs opinion the proposed LOD do not meet these criteria. Specifically, Building G in the southwestern portion of the site in relation to riparian habitat and adverse impact on wetland buffering (evidenced by the need for a variance to wetland setback, as described above and outlined below). Staff suggests the proposed areas of disturbance, less units 1 -5, do minimize the overall site impact. This notion is based on: Page #4 - Black Canyon Inn, Development Plan 09-03 1) The area with the most significant impact on the site is in the least visible area. 2) Protection of the stream frontage is an important consideration. 3) Much of the site is rock outcroppings that are not possible to develop without significant site disturbance. 4) The proposed impervious coverage is 60% o f the maximum allowed. 5) The proposed density is 75% of the maximum allowed. Staff suggests the site impact created is mostly to significant trees. Therefore, Staff recommends the Planning Commission use the formula for replacement of significant trees outlined in Section 7.3.D5, which requires two six-foot tall trees for each coniferous tree removed. This section typically would not apply for trees removed with approval of a development plan. However, due to the number of significant trees removed, Staff suggests this section be applied. Application of this formula would be allowed under the terms of Section 7.10 "Operational Performance Standards", which allows the Planning Commission to require additional landscaping. Furthermore, Staff suggests those trees to remain should be subject to landscaping maintenance requirements set forth in Section 7.5.J. Finally, Staff suggests the "replacement trees" not be subject to a separate guarantee, but instead incorporated into the standard development plan agreement. This would ease the clerical burden on both the applicant and staff, as there would be one less agreement to monitor. If the applicant revised the development plan to eliminate Units 1-5, and replacement trees required, Staff suggests the overall plan would comply with Limits of Disturbance standards. Tree and Vegetation Protection. Tree protection fencing shall comply with standards set forth in Appendix D.VIII. Existing trees to remain shall be fenced for protection prior to any site work; the property owner should be aware of this requirement and account for it in construction planning, as failure to fence trees could result in a delay in issuance of permit. See above for description of replacement trees. The applicant should be aware that any trees shown to remain on the plan that are removed during construction will be required to be replaced in accordance with Section 7.3. For example, if the sewer main location changes during the final construction plan phase and would result in removal of trees shown to remain, those will need to be replaced and guaranteed through a separate agreement and form of collateral. Landscaping and Buffers. Existing trees to remain exceed the amount of landscaping required for impervious coverage and street frontage. Parking lot perimeter plantings are not required, as the parking lots are either not large enough Page #5 - Black Canyon Inn, Development Plan 09-03 < to require or are intel-ior to the site, with the exception of the eastern most parking lot; this lot will be screened by district buffer. Wetlands and Stream Corridor Protection. This proposal does not comply With the minimurn wetlands setback requirement of fifty (50) feet, and cannot be approved by the Planning Commission. Approval of the parking area in the wetland setback areas requires a variance be granted from the Estes Valley Board of Adjustment. Staff suggests the variance should be obtained from the BOA prior to approval of the proposed development plan. Staff also suggests the development plan could be approved with a condition to remove proposed Units 1 -5 along with appurtenant site features such as utilities and drives.

The applicant has submitted a wildlife impact assessment as part of this review. This investigation was prepared by Christopher Roe, Certified Wildlife Biologist, with Roe Ecological Services, LLC. This purpose of this assessment was to determine the potential impacts of the proposed development on wildlife "making use of the property, and the area as a whole." Specifically, the assessment looked at potential impacts to: 1) Elk and deer loafing and foraging activity. 2) Elk and deer movement across the property. 3) Elk and deer calving/fawning habitat 4) Other potential wildlife species impacts, including potential bear problems. Page #6 - Black Canyon Inn, Development Plan 09-03 The assessment offers three suggested recommendations for minimizing potential impacts: timing restrictions, fence considerations, and bear-proof trash enclosures. These have been included as suggested conditions o f approval. Review Standards. In addition to this wildlife habitat assessment, Staff has reviewed this proposal for compliance with review standards set forth in Section 7.8 Wildlife Habitat Protection. Review standards include buffers, non-native vegetation, exterior lighting, refuse disposal, and domestic animals. Buffers: Proposed development meets the required wetland setback, and will preserve the "pond" wetland area north of Black Canyon Drive (except for proposed Building G). Non-native vegetation: Only landscaping found on the preferred planting list, including grasses, will be planted. Exterior lighting: Exterior lighting will be subject to Section 7.9 "Exterior Lighting." Light fixtures will be reviewed by Staff prior to issuance of first building permit to ensure compliance. Refuse disposal: One new trash enclosure will be provided. This should be bear- proofed (as noted on the plan). Architectural renderings have yet to be provided, but should be subject to review and approval of Staffprior to submittal of mylars. Domestic animals: Domestic animals will be subject to animal restrictions defined in the Estes Park Municipal Code, which requires animals be kept under control of caretakers. Exterior Lighting. The proposed development will be subject to lighting standards set forth in Section 7.9, which requires exterior lighting be shielded and downcast. A lighting "cut sheet" will need to be submitted for Staff review prior to issuance of first building permit. Off-Street Parking and Loading. Staff has calculated parking requirements only for the proposed units. This is based on Section 7.11.A2, which states "off-street parking spaces will be required only to serve the enlarged or expanded area, not the entire building or use, provided that in all cases the number of off-street parking spaces provided for the entire use must equal at least seventy-five percent of the minimum requirements." The applicant requests a reduction in the parking requirement. The proposed "residential" use (based on density) requires 2.25 spaces per unit. The applicant has submitted a parking analysis based on the historic usage. The applicant's parking Page #7 - Black Canyon Inn, Development Plan 09-03 01 QI 4. study indicates there are currently 1.85 parking spaces available per unit. The property owner has indicated there has never been a shortage of parking, and therefore requests a parking requirement of 1.5 spaces per unit. For comparison, the Institute of Traffic Engineer's Traffic Generation Manual has an average parking rate of.89 for a motel with restaurant/lounge. The proposed parking plan complies with the above request. Building Required Proposed Difference H 9 9 0 J 6 5 -1 WL 12 8 -4 M/N 14 9 -5 O 5 5 0 P 5 4 -1 Q 9 5 -4 Total 60 45 -15 The development code requires 1 bike rack for every 20 parking spaces. This requires 3 bike spaces; which should be shown on the site plan. Adequate Public Facilities. No building permit shall be issued unless such public facilities and services are in plape or the commitments described in Section 7.12.C have been made. , This section requires that facilities are available to serve the proposed development when building pennits are issued. Transportation. The submitted Traffic Impact Analysis finds no additional off-site . improvements are required. The Town of Estes Park Public Works Department has reviewed this TIA. The property owner requested waivers to the sections El (length of dead end street) and E2 (vehicle trips per day) of Appendix D.II. The code limits cul-de-sac length to 1,000 feet where approximately 1,900 feet are proposed. The code also limits the number of vehicle trips per day to 120 trips, Where 821 are projected (per the submitted TIA). Staff suggests the- proposed secondary access would benefit The Overlook condominiums, Ridgeview c6ndominiums, and private in-holdings in the Black Canyon area. Based on this, Staff kupports granting the variances to cul-de-sac length and number of units on a dead-end street. A condition of approval should be recordation of this emergency access prior to submittal of the development plan mylars. Furthermore, a reciprocal easement through the Black Canyon property should be recorded prior to submittal of development plan mylars. Page #8 - Black Canyon Inn, Development Plan 09-03 The Town Engineer has granted these requests, as allowed per Appendix D.I.D. The waivers provide mutual emergency access between the Overlook and Black Canyon Inn, helps minimize the number of access points on MaeGregor, and minimizes disturbance of the wetlands area located along the east side of MacGregor Avenue. Electric. All electric service is to be placed underground. Final construction plans will be subject to approval of the Light and Power Department. Sanitary Sewer. New development will require extension of an 8" main. Service will be provided by the Estes Park Sanitation District. The District has noted an additional manhole will be required, the proposed main line is labeled as a 6" and needs correction, and the sewer main location north of Units 25 and 26 will need slight adjustment. Additionally, the District has requested an easement for the service line serving Ridgeview Condominiums. These have been included as suggested conditions of approval. Staff recommends the requested easement be recorded prior to issuance of any building permits. Water. This development will require a water main extension, which will require approval of construction plans. The submitted Statement of Intent suggests service lines be determined with building permit applications to determine size. However, the Water Department has noted these will need to be determined with construction plans. Drainage/Water Qualio, Management. The drainage report has been submitted to Public Works for review and approval. This drainage report calls for use of porous landscape water quality pond areas for stormwater quality; these facilities are considered a form of "best management practices" (BMP) found in the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District's criteria (this is the adopted stormwater manual). All required drainage facilities shall be installed and accepted in accordance with Section 7.12.F, which allows 25% of building permits to be issued prior installation of the drainage facilities. The phasing plan shall address this requirement. Fire Protection. The submitted ISO calculations indicate adequate fire flow will be available after installation of two proposed fire hydrants (in conjunction with four existing). Per Section 7.12.G, all required fire protection requirements shall be installed prior to issuance of a building permit. The phasing plan shall address this requirement. Staff suggests a condition of approval be the installation and acceptance of the secondary point of access prior to issuance of any building for additional units. Page #9 - Black Canyon Inn, Development Plan 09-03 REFFERAL COMMENTS AND OTHER ISSUES: This request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff for consideration and comment. Town Attorney H/hite had comments regarding signature blocks and the secondary emergency access easement. These have been included as suggested conditions of approval. Public Works. As of Tuesday June 2, Conimunity Development had not received comments from the Engineering Division of Public Works. Other comments from Light and Power/Water have been included as suggested conditions of approval. Estes Valley Recreation and Park District has requested "a public trail along the front end [of] the property along MaeGregor Avenue." Staff supports this request, which is supported by Table 4-8 "Pedestrian Amenities and Linkage Requirements Nonresidential Zoning Districts", which requires, in part, "to the maximum extent feasible, provision shall be made in the design of developments for interconnections with existing or planned... trail systems." EVRPD has noted al?reliminary plan for the Devils Gulch/Dry Gulch Trail loop in this area, and on this side of Devils Gulch Road/MaeGregor Avenue. Section 7.4 "Public Trails and Private Open Areas" requires dedicated public trails have at least a 25-foot wide land area (in this instance a trail easement) and that trails comply with design criteria set forth in any bike/trail plan adopted by the Town of Estes Park (this area is identified on Map 5.11 "Hike and Bik6 Trails Plan" in the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan). Building Department. The Building Department has listed five comments that must be addressed prior to approval. Staff has included compliance with the Building Department memo as a suggested condition. These issues relate to accessibility, and will be verified prior to presentation of mylars for signature by the Chair. Staff suggests any changes that may be required to the site design, such as accessible parking spaces and routes, can be approved by Staff through the minor modification process. Aby necessary changes that exceed the limits set forth in Section 3.7 will require the applicant to present changes to the Planning Commission. Neighborhood Comments. Staff has receNed one email comment from a resident of the Overlook Condominiums, as well as a two letters from the Overlook Condominium Board, who has expressed opposition to this proposed emergency access. This is in contrast to a supplemental condominium application that delineates an emergency access easement across the Overlook property. Any approval of the Black Canyon development plan should include a condition of approval that the access easement be secured. Page #10 - Black Canyon Inn, Development Plan 09-03 Staff has also received letter from the "Smedley" family, owners o f property on the west side of MacGregor Avenue, expressing opposition to the proposed units in the southwest portion o f the lot (those fronting MacGregor). STAFF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION: Based on the foregoing, Staff finds: 1. The applicant should carefully review the Staff report, which contains several references to Code requirements. Failure to satisfy these requirements could lead to a delay in issuance of building permits or certificates of occupancy. 2. If all recommended conditions of approval are required, the development plan will comply with all applicable standards set forth in this Code. 3. This request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff for consideration and comment. 4. The Planning Commission is the Decision-Making body for the development plan. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed "Black Canyon Intl" Development Plan 09-03 CONDITIONAL TO: 1. Compliance with approved development plan and architectural plans. Approval of this development plan shall supersede all previous development plan approvals. 2. The development plan shall be revised to account for the following: a. Proposed Units 1-5 (Building CD and appurtenances shall be removed from the plan. b. Submittal of a phasing plan outlining sequential utility installation (including fire hydrants and stormwater facilities) and development ofunits. c. Architectural renderings for the proposed bear-proof trash enclosure. d. Delineate number of significant trees to be removed, and include number of replacement trees. Section 7.3.D shall be used to determine replacement tree requirements. e. Include the note: Significant trees to remain shall be subject to maintenance requirements set forth in Section 7.5.J of the Estes Valley Development Code. £ Include the note: No construction activity shall be initiated between April 1 and July 15 of any year. 3. Compliance with the following memos/letters/emails: a. EPSD to Dave Shirk dated May 13, 2009. b. Greg Sievers to Dave Shirk dated May 8,2009. c. Greg White to Dave Shirk date April 16, 2009. d.

Director of Public Works Date: June 2,2009 Re: The Lodge at Black Canyon Inn Condo Master Plan, 800 MacGregor After reviewing the Lodge at Black Canvon Inn Condo Master Plan for the above referenced submittal, the Public Works Department has the following comments: Engineering: 1. Infrastructure: The Public Works Dept. requires per the development code a Concrete Trail detached, and made of concrete to be constructed within the limits of the property along MacGregor Ave. These improvements will need to be included in construction plans to be reviewed and approved prior to any building permits. In addition the sidewalk along the private roadway shall be 5 feet in width along the south side of the private roadway. Public Works supports the variance to eliminate the sidewalk requirement on the north side of the private drive. Submit actual construction drawings for both public and private roadway, drainage and utility improvements. These drawings will need to be reviewed and approved from Public Works and Utility departments prior to any work commencing or building permits issuance. 2. Easements: The Public Works Dept. would require that an access easement from the parking lot of units 30, 31 and 32 be extended to the southern property line for the purpose of emergency access between properties and utility maintenance. The surface of this access shall be 14 feet wide with 6 inches of road base materials. Security of this access shall be in conformance with emergency services of the Town. In addition a similar requirement and easement shall be required for access near unit 28 to be extended to the southern property line. /7 /7-7- ./ 4· lirtink=.Al,1.1//AA dthM#Willon -er/!UL· 4 EMVEIms' Estes Park Sanitation District PO Box 722, Estes Park, CO 80517 May 13, 2009 Dave Shirk, Planner 11 Town of Estes Park PO Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517-1200 RE: Black Canyon Inn Master Plan Attention: Dave Shirk As per review of the Master Plan for the Black Canyon Inn Condominiums the directors have the following comments: 1. The proposed location of the main line will need to be adjusted t6 provide adequate separation from Units 26 and 27 for a District easement associated with ownership and operation. The District's standard easement is 20 feet in width. Moving the line north may provide sufficient separation. 2. Likely an additional manhole will be needed in this same area due to grade considera- tions. A plan and profile of the line will be necessary to determine requirements. 3. There have been problems with the service line owned by the Ridgeview Condomi- niums. The present location of the line is shown on the plan. The District would prefer to see an easement for their service line be provided from the final proposed manhole on the project to their property. The location can best be determined with District staff and Cornerstone. The replacement of their service line is not a requirement of the Black i Canyon Development. Ridgeview Condominiums will be contacted by the District to discuss possible solutions for the replacement. 4. The engineefs cost estimate sheet references the sewer main as 6" PVC. This needs to be corrected to 8" PVC. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this plan. If you have any questions, please call me at (970) 586-2866. .

Sheet No. 1 contains an owner and lienholder statement. This should be modified to just an owner statement as there are no property dedications in this Development Plan. 2. Sheet No. 5 indicates a proposed 24 inch emergency access easement from the property to Overlook Court. This emergency access easement is labeled "proposed". If this is not a dedicated access easement, this will need to be dedicated by a separate document by the property owliers of Overlook Condominiums.

It is important to note that these Departments reserve the right to make additional comments and revise comments as more detail is provided in the subsequent submittals and development plans. Light & Power: The Light and Power Department has reviewed the Application for a Development Plan #09-03 for the above referenced property and has the following comments: 1) Developer to install all trenches & conduits, all materials, truck hours and mileage will be purchased from & installed by Town of Estes Park. 2) No building permits will be approved by Light & Power until the entire electric infrastructure has been paid for and installed. 3) We will in the future need accurate As-Builts in electronic, Mylar, and paper versions. 4) The submitted plan needs to show all existing utilities, type, and location. 5) Easements also need to accompany all existing primary electric lines and any secondary electric on others property. 6) The vacation of an easement is allowable if it is presently vacant with no chance of being occupied in the future. 7) Any relocation or upgrade of existing facilities will be accomplished at the project owners request and expense. • Page 1 <h 8) Each and every meter isocket will need to be permanently mafRed with the specific address and or unit number prior to hook-up by the utility. 9) All primary electric must be buried 4' deep in a 6" gray electrical conduit with warning tape at 2'. All secondary must be butied 2' deep with warning tape at l' in the appropriately sized gray electrical conduit for the conductor. 10) The engineer's estimated cost of U. G. electrical infra-structure is an estimate only. We will need to meet with the developer and the engineer to determine exact cost and location of proposed facilities. Contact Line Superintendent Todd Steichen at 970-577-3601. 11) Submit plans from the project electrical engineer for Town review and impproval. 12) We will need to know the size of each individual service, type of heat and whether or not air conditioning is being proposed. Water: After review of the Development Plan 09-03 the Water Department has the following comments: 1) Some of the existing water line sizes are different than shown on the drawings. If the fire protection volumes were based on these sizes a hydraulic analysis will be necessary to determine if the current line capacities will support the additional proposed demands. 2) Construction drawings are required for the project. Drawings must be approved and signed by the Utilities Director or designated representative prior to anv construction. All water line design and construction shall be done according to the Water Utility Policies and Standards. All water main lines and easements must be deeded to the Town of Estes Park. Construction drawings must include: • Plan and profile to show potential conflicts between water and other utilities including culverts, show Utility Easement locations when utility is not in Road Right of Way. • Metering/Tap location plan (drawing) indicating tap locations, meter sizing, meter locations, and addresses served by each. • Service line sizing will be determined by the number of units served. 3) If the structure is required to have a Fire Suppression System a 'Fire Sprinkler System Connection Application' must be completed and submitted to the Water Department before any connection is granted. This application must include a detailed drawing noting: • Location, sizing and type of backflow prevention device(s) • Engineered flow requirements for the fire sprinkler system • Spill control method for proper disposal of discharge from the relief valve, indicating location and sizing of drainage capable of accommodating the discharge that could occur Due to fire line size both a chlorination and pressure test will be required, conducted by a representative of the Water Department prior to acceptance. Any Fire suppression line servicing a building from the water main is a private service line and must be noted as such on the • Page 2 Development Plan and the SODdivision Plat. Future repair or maintenance required on this service is the sole responsibility of the building owner. 4) For verification all properties must show proof of inclusion in the Northern Colorado Water Conseivancy District.

I was writing on behalf of my Mother, Ellen Smedley Smith, who owns the cabin at 140 Evergreen Lane, directly across Macgregor Road from the entrance to the Black Canyon Inn.. This property has been in the Smedley family for over 90 years, and we still enjoy coming to Estes Park every summer to get close to nature and relive our family heritage. We particularly enjoy the view of Turtle Rock across Macgregor Road from the cabin, and watching the elk grazing along Black Canyon Creek and crossing to road to our property. We strongly object to the proposed building of a multi-story building right in front of Turtle Rock, which will impair our view of this landmark and interfere with elk and other wildlife that we have enjoyed for many years. The increased density of the proposed development and the traffic it will cause are also of concern to us. Please let me know if there is any other information we can provide in this regard. My niphews, Greg and Mark Holthoff have emailed Bob Joseph, and I agree with the points made by each of them. Thank you for considering our family's views on this important question.

I've been visiting the Smedley property on Evergreen nearly every summer since I was 6 years old. I'm now 39 and still look forward to returning each year, now with my own 9 year old daughter. I like to think that she'll be able to do the same with her children someday. One of the main reasons that we keep coming back, year after year, generation after generation, is because of the lasting beauty, tranquility and of course history of the area. Ifs simply wonderful to be a part of a place that has remained, for the most part, simple and natural over the last 100 years. While I recognize the need for the town to modernize and expand its tax base, I ask you to consider also, as my brother noted, the unspoiled character o f this particular part o f Estes Park -- located so near to historic MacGregor Ranch and of course Rocky Mountain National Park -- for this is the very thing that keeps generations coming back year after year. The members of the Smedley family have taken great pride in holding up our end of that bargain over the years, keeping our property as original as possible, to the point of preserving even the cast iron stove in the kitchen that was originally fired with wood. I ask that you please also keep this same commitment to preservation, history and nature in mind as you consider the expansions proposed by the Black Canyon Inn. Thank you for your time.

My great grandfather, Dr. Clyde Smedley, purchased his property on lower Evergreen Avenue fro m Clara MacGregor. The Smedleys built a small office for dentistry and an adjacent cabin for the family to live in during summer months. These structures are still standing across from the entrance to Black Canyon Inn, and are used frequently by the extended Smedley family. So the Smedleys have been a good friend to Estes Park, and we love the place. The character of MacGregor Ave. in this location still has a rural, undeveloped feel. Turtle Rock, a famous landmark, is prominent. We would like to maintain this character and the visual quality of the area. I have reviewed the proposed building application for Black Canyon Inn. Of primary concern to the Smedley family are the actions proposed on Plan Sheet 2, which appears to be a proposed multi-storied Building G and an associated parking structure. The application says that this structure is a replacement from a previously approved development plan. The fact of the matter is that construction of this structure (Building G and associated parking structure) would permanently alter the local view of Turtle Rock from the Smedley property as well as several other residences which long preceded the Black Canyon Inn as taxpayers to the City of Estes Park. If not eliminating it entirely, surely there is an alternative to placing that structure where it is proposed. We are strongly opposed to any development proposal that would further mar the historic view of Turtle Rock or further impinge upon Black Canyon Creek. We are also opposed to any further night lighting in the area - the night-lit Black Canyon Inn sign is already too much. Please preserve the few remaining historic landscapes within Estes Park.

Our Association met at their annual meeting at the Stanley Hotel Saturday, April 25,2009 and reviewed the proposal. Most owners had previously received notice but some new owners were not aware of the proposed project and the potential impact on the Overlook. The matter of our granting an easement through the Overlook for emergency ingress and egress for the Black Canyon development was discussed at length.

Box 1200 Estes Park , Co. 80517 2 Letter of Intent for the "Black Canyon Inn Condominiums Master Development Plan Dear Mr. Joseph: On behalf of our client, Jim Sloan of Sloan Investments, LLC we are pleased to submit the Master Development Plan for the Black Canyon Inn. Owners/Lien Holders The property is currently owned by Sloan Investments, LLC, Jim Sloan is the manager/applicant, Bank of Colorado of Estes Park is the lien holder. Existing Conditions Currently the Black Canyon Inn property consists of 27 residential condominium units, 10 of which were just currently constructed and finalized in 2007. A restaurant, The Twin Owls Steakhouse, is also located on the Black Canyon Inn Property. Currently maintenance of the roadway and other items is provided by the Black Canyon Inn Condominium Association. Current & Adiacent Zoning The current zoning of the Black Canyon Inn is A- Accommodations. Saint Bartholomews Addition to the northwest is zoned RM- Multi Family along with a portion of the Mac Gregor Ranch bordering the northern property line of the c subject property. Mac Gregor Ranch also has a zoning of RE- Rural Estate bordering the north. Black Canyon Hills borders the east and has a zoning of E-1 Estate. Ridgeview Condominiums is located in the southeastern portion of the property and has a zoning of RM- Multi Family. The Overlook Condominiums, Lot 1 Stanley Historic District, Leonard Property and Black Canyon Chalets Condominiums all border the south and have a zoning of A- Accommodations. The final property to border the subject property is the Rock Acres Condominiums, to the southwest, with a zoning of RM- ilti Family. Setbacks tbacks are typically 25-feet from the property line except for where the property borders an adjacent property zoned A- ..ccommodations which the setback would be reduced to 15-feet. There is a 15-foot setback from the access easement that encompasses the existing driveway. 50-foot setbacks from the wetlands have been established and maintained. Proiect Description This plan will approve the addition of 32 condominium units. These units will consist ofboth new construction and renovation/remodel of existing units. A total of seven buildings will be constructed that will house 27 units. The remaining 6 units will be added through the renovation/remodel of two existing buildings. Buildings 'A' thru 'F' have been finalized with previous condominium maps, therefore our building identification will begin at Building 'G' Building G - Units 1 thru 5 These units have been removed from the proposed development plan. Building H - Units 6 thru 9 This structure will be a remodel/replacement of the existing office and conference building. This building will mainly encompass the original footprint but will protrude to the north from the original footprint slightly. Parking for this building will be provided by existing stalls and two added parallel stalls from the upper lot. Utilities are already provided and have been upgraded with the recent construction of Building F. Building I - Units 10 and 11 These units will be created from an existing structure that is currently used for employee housing. This existing structure will be remodeled and condominimized with a supplemental map. Building J - Units 12 and 13 This structure will replace the existing office and supply additional employee housing. The building will also house commercial laundry available to owners/tenants. Parking for this building will be supplied by a lot located directly off the private drive. The central location would improve the current situation with traffic flows proceeding through the restaurant parking and better accommodate tenant services. The building will be two- story with the office/laundry being on the main floor and employee housing on the upper floor. Building K - Units 14 thru 16 This building is one of three triplexes that will be constructed as part of this development plan. The building will be located adjacent to existing rock outcroppings with the parldng located above the same rocks. Building L - Units 17 and 18 This building will be situated on a rock outcropping with views overlooking MacGregor Ranch and Longs Peak. Parking will be available in the lot for building 'K'. A walkway will provide access to the unit from the parking lot. Building M - Units 19 thru 21 This building is the second of the three triplexes. The building will be located adjacent to existing rock outcropping with the parking located being the same as with Building 'N'. Building N - Units 22 thru 24 This building is the third ofthe three triplexes. The building will be located adjacent to the main access with parking shared with Building 'M'. Building O - Units 25 thru 26 This is a duplex structure located adjacent to rock outcroppings and significant tree stands. An existing structure currently resides in this location but will be removed during construction. Building P - Units 27 thru 28 This is an additional duplex structure with garage access located on the east side. The building has been designed to fit within the tight constraints of the building setbacks from the access easement and Ridgeview Condominiums. Building O - Units 29 thru 32 This building will consist of 4 units and be situated within the "saddle" between Black Canyon Inn and the Overlook Condominiums. Parking will be situated to the east and an "emergency access will be provided beyond the parking to connect to The Overlook Condominiums.

The Open Space will be preserved and maintained. Allowable Density is is a continuation of a previous development plan that had been approved by the Estes Valley Planning Commission .it the vested rights of that plan had expired. The previous development plan proposed a total of 60 units to be constructed with the condominium declaration allowing a total of 77 units. Our submitted plan is proposing a total of 54 units. The density calculations are as follows: PROPOSED DENSITY (UNITS/SF): Multi-Family Units 47 @ 5400 sf (+1200sf) 310,200 sf 2-Family Dwelling 6 @ 6750 sf (+1200sf) 47,700 sf Single Family Units 1 @ 9000 sf (+1200sf) 10,200 sf PROPOSED NET DENSITY TOTAL 368,100 sf TOTAL DEVELOPABLE LAND AREA 531,879 sf Currently the property would be allowed to have a total of 80 multi-family units under the A-Accommodations Zoning. With the proposed submittal the maximum density is not being achieved with care taken in the placement of buildings and existing property constraints. The density of our submitted master plan would be 9850 square feet per unit. Sign A sign currently exists at the Black Canyon Inn entrance from Mac Gregor Avenue. There are no proposed changes to the sign, the existing sign shall remain. Parking A parking analysis has been performed on the Black Canyon Inn Condominiums. The purpose of this analysis was to termine the amount of parking actually used by the owners and tenants. With the majority of units being short term ntals, the usual parking calculation of 2.25 spaces/units causes excess ofparking that is not used or needed. Currently the Black Canyon Inn has a total of 27 units. Six (6) units are owner occupied with the remaining 21 units used as rental properties. The property currently has 50 parking spaces available for those units which would allow 1.85 spaces per unit. Based on the 10 years of operation as a rental property, the owner has never noticed a shortage of parking. In fact, the owner has expressed his concern of constructing parking spaces that would never be needed or used and impact the property more than needed. Based on the observations of the owner and the nature of the rental property that we are requesting a decrease in the number of required parking spaces from 2.25 spaces/units to 1.5 spaces/unit. Access Access to the site is offMac Gregor Ave. which borders the property on the West. This access is proposed to be relocated to improve the entrance from Mac Gregor Avenue. The proposed entrance will not be skewed as is the existing entrance and be at a right angle to Mac Gregor Ave. In addition the relocated entrance will be of a closer proximity the Evergreen Lane thereby improving the safety of both intersections. We are proposing to widen the existing driveway to have a nominal width of 22' with concrete curb and gutter on both sides. To help accommodate the amount of traffic generated but the proposed addition in the case of an emergency we are proposing the addition of an "Emergency Access Easement" for ingress and egress through The Overlook Condominiums. This easement will benefit both properties in the case of an emergency. The easement will be granted with a supplemental map of the Overlook Condominiums that has currently been submitted to the Town of Estes PArk Planning Department. tilities Water Town of Estes Park The main will be extended up the drive to service a proposed fire hydrant and units up the hill. All units are to be metered individually. A portion of existing water line adjacent to units 29-32 will need to be relocated due to cuts required for the proposed driveway. Water service sizes will be determined at the building permit phase in order to determine sizing for sprinklered structures. Sanitary Sewer Estes Park Sanitation District The proposed sewer main is to be extended with a proposed 8" main. All services are to end in a manhole. Electric Town of Estes Park The electric main is to be looped to extend from the previously installed junction box and connect to the Overlook feed. No air conditioning~ is proposed for the units and they are to be metered individually. Gas Excel Energy The main will be extended to service the proposed units. Telephone Owest Communications Telephone service will run with electric while maintaining mandated separation from utilities. All utility extensions will be installed per current regulations and construction drawings will be provided before utility installation. [ildina Heights e building height will be within the limits set forth in the revised height measurement provision of the EVDC. ISO Calculations Calculations have been performed and included with the submittal for review. This proposal meets the required fire flow with the addition of the located fire hydrants. Landscaping Landscaping calculations have been performed and included with the submittal. With the amount of existing trees located on the subject property, it is our assessment that proposed landscaping is not required but shall be installed by the owner at his discretion. District buffer landscaping shall be installed along the boundaries of Black Canyon Hills and Ridge view Condominiums. Based on the wildlife assessment and previous projects, it has been brought to our attention that if the required landscaping where to be installed, it would impede wildlife traffic and make it more difficult for wildlife to reach their destination having to negotiate the required fencing to protect the installed landscaping. Shrubs and trees will be planted in an aesthetic manor consistent with current landscaping. A landscaping sheet has been provided to show the general landscaping proposed around the structures but can vary from building to building. Drainaize Report A drainage report has been written and included with the submittal. Wetland Studv A wetland study has been performed and included with the submittal for the areas adjacent to Black Canyon Creek. These areas have been delineated on our Development Master Plan and setbacks established and maintained based from the report. ildlife Impact Study A professional consultant has been selected and selected to prepare the required Wildlife Impact Study. This report has been included with the submittal. Traffic Impact Analysis i analysis has been performed to determine the affects o f the proposed development at full build-out. The findings of ...e report do not warrant any modifications to Mac Gregor/Wonderview intersection or the proposed entrance to Black Canyon Inn. Phasing This project is scheduled to begin immediately once approval is attained. Phase 1 will consist of constructing the new office/employee housing with a projected completion in Fall of 2009. Once the new office is constructed the renovation of the old office will be Phase 2 which would begin in Spring of 2010 with a completion of Summer of 2010. The five- unit structure adjacent to Black Canyon Creek would begin Fall of 2010 with a completion of Spring 2011. The project has a projected build-out of ten years. Variance Requests Every effort has been made to meet or exceed the standards as set forth in the Estes Valley Development Code but certain requirements could not be attained. Therefore we are requesting a variance to the items listed: EVDC Appendix-D,II.El Number of Vehicle Trips Per Day, this section of the code limits the amount of vehicle trips per day at 120. Are development exceeds this limits, but an emergency access easement for ingress and egress is being proposed to facilitate traffic in the case of an emergency. EVDC Appendix-D, III.B.8.b.(11, this section states that to the maximum exent feasible, driveways must be spaced at least 150 feet from the edge of any other driveway. The uniqueness of the site has determined where proposed driveways connect, though we have made every effort to maintain separation or line up proposed driveways, our plan may deviate from this section of the code.

However, economic realities at that time required the postponement of the lodge building. construction. The town allowed the extensionofthe development plan and a modified 10 unit lodge building was completed in 2007., As the town had rewritten the development code since the proposed units were vested ahd modified the zoning from CO-Commercial Outlging to A-Accommodations, the town staff indicated that theunbuilt portion ofthe plan would·not be.honored. W#h the current submission, I.have modified the previously approved units to better suit our needs and to more closely meet the·current codes. In addition, we are prop0sing the final build out for the property. In 2004, the existing units.were converted to condominiums and our'condominium dkclarations set a maximum number ofunits at 77.

The purpose ofthis investigation was to render an opinion as to if any portion of this sile and it: vicinity fill under Wetland Jurisdictional Status as defined by the United States Army Corps of Erigincers. The study area is located on the north side ofEstes Park and situated on the east side ofMac Greeor Avemle. Just north Evergreen Lane. The subject site includes the area east of Black Can.yon Creek and nortli of the south property line to approximately fifty feet (250') north ofthe private road leading into The Lodges at Black Canyon inn Condominiums.

The U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers define a wetland as an area "which is inundated or saturated with surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficientto support. and undernormal circumstances do support, a prevalence ofvegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Swamps: marshes. bogs and similar areas are typically considered wetlands. In order to be classified as a jurisdictional wetland, three (3) environmental criteria iii ist be satisfied. 1. The prevalent vegetation must be able to grow and persist in a saturated soil condition. Examples include cattails, bulrush and some types of sedges. 2. Soils must be classified as hydric or possess characteristics of a reduced oxygen content from saturation with water. 3. The area must be periodically or permanently inundated at some time during the growing season of the prevalent vegetation. Additionally. jurisdictional wetlands must be contiguous to a "navigable waterway'*.

Fens are typicah> characterize·d hy a waterlogged or spongy ground with a soils type known asa histosol or mineral soils with a histic opipe.Jon. Histosols are primarily known for an organic soils horizon which extends sixteen ( 16-) er n.ore inclies below the ground surface. Histic epipedons are eight to twenty four (8"-24") inch thick organic soils horizons at or near the surface of a mineral soil. These soils are formed by a slow accumulation of pia.m materials in iii waterlogged condition where it cannot decompose due to the relatively low ambient temperatures in mountainous areas. In The vicinity of mountain streams and creeks. wetland areas can be found between the normal water bnc. - -and i.he-100 year flood plains along both sides of fluvial systems. The soils in these areas are typically 'well arained, granular and, due to the slo* accumulation of organic materials, have onk' a few *:Ims eforganic materials above sands. cobbles, gravels, bouiders and bedrock. This situation is typically considered -'atypical" when classifying wetlands. The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Soil Survey of Larimer County Area.

The purpose of this assessment was to determine the potential impact of the proposed Development on wildlife making use of the property, and on the area as a whole. Based on the location of the property, and the habitat components within and adjacent to it, RES assessed potential impacts upon: 1) Elk and deer loafing and foraging activity (both daily and seasonally); 2) Elk and deer movement across the property (both daily and seasonally); 3) Elk and deer calving/fawning habitat on and immediately adjacent to the property; and 4) Other potential wildlife species, including potential bear problems. PropertY Description The property is approximately 14.41 acres in size, and lies east of MacGregor Ave, approximately 0.4 miles north of U.S. Highway 34. The property lies along the north and west face of a rocky ridge, and generally consists of native Ponderosa Pine forest, with an understory consisting generally of native grasses and shrubs. Black Canyon Creek runs along the western edge of the property, with the associated riparian corridor consisting of a mix of willow and narrow leaf cottonwood, with an understory of native grasses and forbs. The property is currently developed, with approximately 18% of the land area occupied by permanent and temporary housing units, a restaurant, several abandoned buildings and remnant building foundations, and several asphalt parking lots connected by an asphalt road. Post-construction, roughly 29% of the land area will contain housing units, parking lots, etc. Nearly all units on the property are privately owned residences that, when not used by the owners, are used as rental units throughout the year. Peak occupancy occurs from May through October. Wildlife Observations Most wildlife movement across the property appeared to be along Black Canyon Creek, as well as along the main access driveway and primary drainage swale through the property, with animals heading from the Black Canyon Creek corridor to the east/southeast property boundary and areas off property. Movement of elk and deer along the Black Canyon Creek corridor is reported to be fairly consistent throughout the year, with peak activity occurring during the fall. The movement corridor along Black Canyon Creek used by elk and deer reportedly includes areas within the creek drainage, as well as adjacent open areas along MacGregor Avenue. Evidence of elk and/or deer foraging activity across most of the property was limited, although evidence of browsing was observed on willows near the north property boundary, within the Black Canyon Creek riparian corridor. Although no physical evidence WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 1 . of elk or deer calving/fawning sites was observed on the property, areas of moderate to high quality elk and deer calving/fawning habitat were observed. This habitat generally lies along Black Canyon Creek, with the highest quality habitat located toward the north property line along the boundary of Saint Bartholomew's Church property and south of the main entrance driveway. No physical evidence of bear activity was found during the site assessment as most bears were still hibernating at the time of the assessment, however, per the CDOW and the current property manager, nuisance bear issues occur throughout the general area. Sign of beaver activity within Black Canyon Creek, specifically north of the access driveway culvert, was clearly evident by the numerous beaver-cut trees/willows, and the numerous mature trees covered with chicken-wire mesh placed there in an effort to prevent damage. Both the property manager and the CDOW confirmed that beaver activity has been a problem for this and other properties along Black Canyon Creek. Proposed Development According to the proposed Development site plan dated April 2009, and the proposed build-out schedule, the property will eventually contain a total of 32 new units built over approximately 10 years starting in the fall of 2009. For these units, however, only nine (9) new buildings will be built across the properly. Of these nine, two (2) will be built within the footprint of existing buildings/foundations. Nearly every new unit will be a multi-family ' housing unit/condominium of some sort, with additional parking areas and driveways being developed adjacent to ' the new buildings. Two of the additional parking areas will be constructed over the top of existing structures on the I property. Evaluations of Potential Impacts For this report, evaluations of potential adverse impacts upon wildlife as a result of the proposed Development were c based on: 1) The type and level of existing or potential wildlife use of the property within the context of its current development characteristics; 2) The location ofproposed additional units and associated parking areas as related to lost/modified habitat, movement corridors, or impacts upon adjacent habitat areas; I 3) The fact that many elk and deer (and possibly even bear) are habituated to human presence and human- induced disturbances; 4) The fact that elk and deer currently utilize areas within developed portions of the property between existing 4 residential units; 5) The likelihood of wildlife reasonably accommodating to resulting changes in habitat, movement corridors, c etc., due to the development of additional units and parking areas; and WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 2 6) The capacity of the proposed Development to offset potential adverse impacts. Phased Development According to the proposed build-out schedule, construction ofnew buildings/units will occur over a 10-year period beginning in the late-summer/fall 2009. Under a phased construction schedule it is likely that only one or two buildings and associated parking areas will be built in any given year. By extending construction activities across many years, potential construction-related impacts to wildlife will be localized around individual construction units rather than across the property as a whole. Phased construction schedules should allow habituated animals to easily adapt to changes in their surroundings and associated additional human activity, and to continue to utilize undisturbed portions o f the property at or near normal levels. Potential Impacts to Elk and Deer Foraging Approximately 82% of the property is landscaped open space or open space under native vegetation. Based on the property's location and physical attributes, it is likely that most elk and deer loafing and foraging on the property is from transient animals moving along the Black Canyon Creek corridor, and between the MaeGregor Ranch and areas north of the Standley Hotel. Moderate to high quality elk and deer loafing and foraging areas are found within the western third o f the property and are generally associated with the Black Canyon Creek riparian corridor and adjacent areas (both on and offproperty). Low to moderate quality loafing and foraging areas are scattered throughout the east-central portion of the property, with pockets of moderate to high quality habitat found behind the restaurant (irrigated sod lawn) and northwest of the current property management office, as well as in the southeast and extreme east-northeast corners of the property. Per the proposed site plan, new construction along Black Canyon Creek (units 1-5 and the associated parking lot) will occur outside of a 50-foot wetland/100-year floodplain setback. Although a small portion of potential elk and deer foraging habitat will be lost by the addition of this unit, and additional housing units wiltlikely increase human activity in this area, at least seasonally, there is no reason to expect any significant long-term impact on overall elk and deer loafing and foraging along or within the Black Canyon Creek corridor within, or adjacent to, the property. Because construction within the north-central portion of the property (units 6-9) will essentially be a remodel and extension of an already existing structure, and because elk and deer currently utilize areas of high human disturbance behind the restaurant, it is unlikely construction activities in this location will have any significant impact to elk and deer. Construction of additional buildings through the interior of the property (proposed units 14-18, and units 25-26) is likely to have a slight temporary impact on elk and deer utilizing these areas. As such, it is unlikely the development of additional buildings within the interior of the property - where WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEV-ELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 3 currently identified and under a phased construction schedule - will cause a significant long-term impact on overall elk and deer loafing and foraging within these areas. Potential Impacts to Elk and Deer Movement Because the proposed construction for units 1-5 is located on the rocky slope above and east of the creek corridor, and because the access driveway to the new unit will not alter any creek corridor features, it is unlikely that the new building will cause any modification or disruption of elk or deer movement along Black Canyon Creek. The additions of proposed units 14-16,25-26, and 29-32, are likely to cause a temporary moderate impact to elk and deer movement through the area while construction of each of the units is in progress. Movement by elk and deer through the possible secondary corridor is likely to be slightly to moderately impacted by the additions of proposed units 17-18 and units 19-24. Potential Impacts to Calving/Fawning Habitat According to the proposed site plan, no modification of any significant calving/fawning habitat component within the property will occur. Although construction ofunits 1-5 will be adjacent to the creek corridor, it is RES's ( opinion that this building (and the resultant increase in human activity around this building) will not create a c significant impact upon the overall population of elk and deer that calve/fawn along the Black Canyon Creek ( corridor. It is likely only a slight to moderate short-term impact upon individual animals calving/fawning on the ( property will occur while active construction is underway. ( Potential Impact upon Other Wildlife ( Because this proposed Development does not alter any habitat characteristics within the Black Canyon Creek i drainage, or any adjacent "desirable" habitats or resource components, it is not likely that this Development will ( impact beavers to any degree. Likewise, because the creek corridor will be preserved, it is unlikely that ( development activities will significantly or even moderately affect migratory songbird nesting or general activity i within the corridor. Impacts on nuisance wildlife/bear issues, however, may be affected by this Development. c Depending on the actions taken by the Development to manage increases in human-related food sources, the i development of additional housing units across the property may lead to moderate increases in nuisance wildlife/bear issues. Recommendations for Minimizing Potential Impacts Although RES does not believe that the proposed Development will create any significant impacts upon wildlife as it is currently presented, several recommendations were made that may help further reduce or offset wildlife WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) l THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTESPARK, COLORADO ( 4 impacts. In order to help ensure that construction-related disturbances do not impact either nesting migratory birds (which would violate the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act) or potential elk calving/deer fawning activities, construction activities should not be initiated between 1 April and 15 July. If, however, initiation of construction activities is required between 1 April and 15 July, a detailed wildlife assessment of bird nesting and elk and deer calving/fawning activities within and immediately around (within 100 meters) the proposed construction site should be carried out by a qualified third party prior to any construction. If nesting, calving, or fawning animals are observed within or adjacent to the proposed construction area, construction activities should be postponed until such activity has ceased, or until 15 July, whichever comes first. In this way, potential direct impacts to breeding birds and calving/fawning animals can be virtually eliminated. Fully understanding the need for adequate fencing to keep neighboring livestock from entering the property, and understanding that discussions regarding potential fence modifications will surely require the consultation of neighboring landowners, elk and deer could potentially benefit from a modification to the north fence line. Whether the entire fence line is modified, or simply portions of it that might serve as a wildlife "gate," elk and deer stand to benefit greatly by any measure that makes movement across the north property boundary safer and easier. Although potentially less of a problem, it is recommended that the remnant portions o f old "sheep fence" be removed from areas along the property boundary with Saint Bartholomew's Church. When designing additional garbage collection points, or planning for the deployment of additional dumpsters, it is highly recommended that future trash enclosures be designed and built to be bear-proof, and that additional garbage dumpsters be equally bear-proof. NOTE: As of the April 2009 Update, per the property manager, remnant portions of sheep fence within the creek corridor along the north fence line have been removed. Additionally, management at The Lodges at Black Canyon Inn Condominiums is continuing discussions with the MacGregor Ranch in an effort to work toward minimizing the barbed wire under the buck-and-pole fence along their common boundary. WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 5 1. INTRODUCTION Cornerstone Engineering and Surveying, Inc., retained Roe Ecological Services, LLC (RES), to conduct a wildlife impact assessment for the proposed additional development of The Lodges at Black Canyon Inn Condominiums (Development) in Estes Park, Colorado. The purpose of this assessment was to determine the potential impact of ' the proposed Development on wildlife making use of the property, and on the area as a whole. Based on the ( location of the properly, and the habitat components within and adjacent to it, RES assessed potential impacts upon: ' 1) Elk and deer loafing and foraging activity (both daily and seasonally); ( 2) Elk and deer movement across the property (both daily and seasonally); c 3) Elk and deer calving/fawning habitat on and immediately adjacent to the property; and i 4) Other potential wildlife species, including potential bear problems. In carrying out this assignment, RES did the following: c 1) Conducted on-site evaluations of the Development property and the immediate surrounding area between ( 10 March and 12 April 2008; ( 2) Reviewed numerous documents pertaining to the Development request, including: c a) The proposed site plan for the Development; < b) The Estes Valley Development Code adopted 3 November 1999, effective 1 February 2000 c (EVDC)2 and i c) The Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan dated December 19963 3) Reviewed the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) Elk Management Plan, Data Analysis Unit E-9, Saint Vrain Herd, Game Management Unit 20, dated November 2006;3 4) Discussed the project with the local CDOW District Wildlife Manager (DWM) between 10 and 31 March 2008,4 and 5) Reviewed satellite imagery of the proposed Development site and surrounding area. 2. UNDERLYING CONSIDERATIONS AND DEFINITIONS 2.1. DEFINITION OF SIGNIFICANCE (OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS) FOR THIS AsSESSMENT In most discussions regarding potential impacts of some development upon wildlife or wildlife habitat, the term "significant impact" is typically defined as the level of impact that is likely to be made upon the local or regional population of a species to the point that changes in that species' reproduction, survival, localized activity, associated property damage, etc., is statistically detectable, regardless whether the effect of the impact is positive or WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) c THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 6 negative. Typically, the baseline against which such impact is measured is data gathered by State or Federal wildlife agencies (e.g., CDOW population estimates). In the case of urban/suburban development, data gathered by County and municipal workers may also be used. Measurability of the impact is the key ingredient of significance. Within the Town of Estes Park, recent discussions pertaining to the significance of potential impacts of development upon wildlife and wildlife habitat have included not only the potential impact of development upon populations, but even upon individual animals. Although it can be extremely difficult to measure the effects of a development activity on an individual animal, and while it is true that determinations of impact upon individuals can be quite subjective, it has proven important to keep this aspect of impact in mind in discussing this particular Development. For this assessment, therefore, the term "significant impact" will reflect not only measurable effects of a proposed development activity upon wildlife populations, but will also attempt to include an assessment of impact upon individual animals. 2.2. CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING HABITUATED WILDLIFE Within the Town of Estes Park, most concerns regarding potential development impacts upon wildlife center on the potential impacts upon elk, followed by impacts upon deer, bears (specifically problem bear interactions), and other wildlife. Often, concerns regarding new development focus on the potential effects that additional buildings, increased human activity, and a general loss of"open space" might have on the animals that frequent the identified area. When evaluating the level of potential impacts that development activities may have upon wildlife, however, it is important to consider the behavior of a particular species in relation to the specific activity or potential disturbance in question. Both elk and deer are highly adaptable and easily habituated animals with a remarkable ability to learn, and to adjust their behavior to maximize survival.5,6,7,8,9 When the correct conditions are metio -conditions similar to those found within Estes Park-habituation of animals is likely. Because the populations ofelk and deer that reside within the Estes Valley and the Town of Estes Park have increased in recent years, 11,12,13 -in the face of continued urban/suburban development-it could be argued that most elk and deer that routinely utilize the urban/suburban environments of the town for primary habitat throughout the year are habituated to human presence. For these animals-barring their actual exclusion from large portions of their accustomed habitat-many development activities are likely to have minimal impacts upon their daily or seasonal activities. When evaluating potential impacts of development upon wildlife within Estes Park, therefore, it is important to do so within the context of such habituation possibilities. WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON IN-N CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 7 2.3. DEFINITIONS OF EVALUATION CLASSIFICATIONS AND CRITERIA 2.3.1. CLASSIFICATIONS OF RELATIVE HABITAT QUALITY For this assessment, evaluations of relative habitat quality are based on the proportion of individual habitat resource components found within a particular habitat type for the habitat being evaluated. This means that the more c resource components found within a particular habitat, the higher will be its relative quality classification. For this assessment, habitat components will be considered to possess "low, "', medium," or "high" quality. Low quality habitats are those that barely meet the needs of wildlife for that particular habitat resource. High quality habitats are those that meet all, or nearly all, of the needs of wildlife for that particular habitat resource. Medium quality habitats are those falling in between. While it is true that these classifications must always be relative to whatever development property is being assessed and to the particular region in which the development is located, and while it is also true that the method is somewhat subjective, it is nonetheless possible to make meaningful classifications on the basis of related scientific literature and on the professional experience of the evaluating biologist. 2.3.2. CLASSIFICATIONS OF POTENTIAL DISTURBANCES/IMPACTS For this assessment, classifications of the level of potential disturbance or impacts to wildlife as the direct or indirect result of a proposed development action are based on the likely response of habituated animals to a particular activity or development action. For this assessment, disturbances/impacts to wildlife are classified as either "light (or slight), ... moderate," or "significant." Disturbances/impacts classified as "light (or slight)" are those in which the individual animal, or population of animals, remains within the general occupied area, and continues the general activity they were engaged in prior to the disturbance or supposed impact. Disturbances/ impacts classified as "moderate" are those in which the animal, or population of animals, may temporarily leave a particular area, or cease a particular activity, immediately after a disturbance or development impact, but later returns to the general area, resuming the activity it was engaged in prior to the disturbance/impact. Additionally, impacts to a particular habitat area/resource may be classified as "moderate" i f animals are able to continue their use of a particular area, but are seen to adjust their behavior in response to development. Disturbances/impacts classified as "significant" are those that cause an animal, or population of animals, to immediately cease their activities within a particular area and to avoid future use of the area or abandon the area altogether. For this assessment, anticipated levels of response by habituated wildlife have been based on scientific literature regarding wildlife responses to various disturbances, as well as on the professional experience of the consulting biologist in wildlife issues within the Estes Valley, across Colorado, and throughout the United States. WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 8 3. GENERAL SITE DESCRIPTION The approximately 14.41-acre property lies along the north and west face of a rocky ridge east of MacGregor Avenue and approximately 0.4 miles north of U.S. Highway 34 (Figure 1). Cover consists generally of native Ponderosa pine with an understory of native grasses and shrubs. Black Canyon Creek runs along the western edge of the property, its riparian corridor consisting of a mix of willow and narrow-leaf cottonwood, with an understory of native grasses and forbs. The property is currently developed, with approximately 18% o f the land area occupied by permanent and temporary housing units, a restaurant, several abandoned buildings and remnant building foundations, and several asphalt parking lots connected by an asphalt road. Post-construction, roughly 29% of the land area will contain housing units, parking lots, etc. (Figure 2). Preserved open areas will consist of Ponderosa pine forest scattered among buildings, parking lots, and roadways, and the Black Canyon Creek riparian corridor. 4. CURRENT CONDITIONS 4.1. HISTORICAL AND EXISTING DEVELOPMENT/RESIDENTIAL USE Most original development at The Lodges at Black Canyon Inn Condominiums occurred between the late 1950s and early 1960s when the property was converted to a resort after the relocation of a number of cabins to the property from Rocky Mountain National Park. Since the mid-1970s, additional cabins/condominium units have been added or remodeled, increasing both the real and aesthetic values of the property as a whole. The properly's original private residence was converted to the Twin Owls Steak House Restaurant in 1964. In 2007, a 10-unit condominium building was completed as part of a previously approved long-term development plan for the 14 property. Nearly all units on the property are privately owned residences, with most owners being seasonal occupants. When owners are not present, the units are used as overnight accommodations/rental properties for use by Estes Park visitors and area tourists; thus supporting the Estes Valley Zoning District classification of Accommodations (A) 1 5 . Peak occupancy of units occurs from May through October. Under current property management guidelines, no pets are allowed, all trash is collected and stored in a centralized location, and conservation of trees, shrubs, native vegetation, and general "open space" is of high priority. 16 Although the property maintains a decorative pond and several open-space common areas for its residents, most property use is concentrated around individual residential units, with common-area use being generally light and intermittent.

EXISTING WILDLIFE USE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA RES observed several sets of elk and deer tracks, as well as pellet groups, from small groups of animals traveling from west to east across the property. Movement across the properly appeared to be mostly along the main access driveway and primary drainage swale, with animals heading from the Black Canyon Creek corridor to the east/southeast property boundary and areas off property (Figure 3). Within the east-northeast portion of the property, RES saw evidence of a possible secondary corridor connecting the lower portion of the primary drainage swale with the eastern property boundary. Movement here seemed to be along a secondary swale and through a downed portion of fence line (Figure 4). Based on the existence of prominent geologic formations (rock outcrops) along the north and south property boundaries and a section of potentially restrictive livestock fence on the north properly boundary with the MacGregor Ranch, it is likely that elk and deer movement across the property is largely along this corridor. The current property manager notes that elk and deer movement has also been observed between the north-central residential units and the southeast corner of the property.17 WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT 0 11 ESTES PARK.

Movement of elk and deer along the Black Canyon Creek corridor is reported to be fairly consistent throughout the year, with peak activity occurring during the fall. 18,19 The movement corridor along Black Canyon Creek reportedly includes areas within the creek drainage, as well as adjacent open areas along MacGregor Avenue (Figure 5). 20,21 Evidence of elk and/or deer foraging activity across most of the property was limited, although evidence of browsing was observed on willows near the north property boundary, within the Black Canyon Creek riparian corridor (Figure 6). According to the property manager, despite high levels of human activity within these areas, elk and deer routinely forage throughout many of the open areas within and adjacent to the creek corridor, as well as on the irrigated and landscaped lawn area behind the restaurant, throughout the spring, summer, and fall (Figure 7).22 WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO ~ 12 1.1. li> u 1 11-1 -jafie lul /25, '1:EMS'A 'ailill .2,/ jr*:s , .

WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINII-IMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 13 1 9 1 Although no physical evidence of elk or deer calving/fawning sites was observed on the property, areas of moderate ~ to high quality elk and deer calving/fawning habitat were observed. This habitat generally lies along Black Canyon Creek, with the highest quality habitat located toward the north property line along the boundary of Saint Bartholomew's Church property and south of the main entrance driveway (Figure 8). Because this habitat is associated with Black Canyon Creek, and because moderate to high quality calving/fawning habitat can be found throughout the entire creek drainage, it is likely that elle ancFor deer have utilized, and willlikely continue to utilize, suitable areas along the drainage-possibly including areas within the property-for calving/fawning. Yearly observations by the CDOW in fact confirm that elk and deer utilize the Black Canyon Creek drainage for calving/fawning each year, with calving/fawning occurring along the Creek drainage from the interior of MacGregor Ranch to the Town municipal buildings.23 Although no elk calves or deer fawns less than approximately 5 days old have been seen on site by property management, elk and deer with offspring of at least one week old have been observed utilizing the same open areas identified in Figure 7.24 1#JUNH/RUIZ//I/i/$/IN57*~PV~#.4-/.,,.T114 1 ~, - ...

Potential elk and deer calving/fawning habitat within the property along the Black Canyon Creek north and south of the entrance driveway, respectively. Similarly, no physical evidence ofbear activity was found during the site assessment. This was not surprising, as most bears were still hibernating at the time of the assessment, and signs of bear activity are more likely to be noted in late summer and early fall. The location of the property along Black Canyon Creek, however, and the presence of garbage dumpsters, barbeque grills, and bird feeders on private properties within and adjacent to the Development suggest that nuisance bear activity could be an issue; an issue confirmed by both the property manager and the CDOW.25 Per the CDOW, nuisance bear issues occurred all along the Black Canyon Creek corridor and adjacent subdivisions in 2007 as well as previous years.26 WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO ~ 14 . Sign ofbeaver activity within Black Canyon Creek, specifically north of the access driveway culvert, was clearly evident by the numerous beaver-cut trees/willows, and the numerous mature trees covered with chicken-wire mesh placed there in an effort to prevent damage (Figure 9). Both the property manager and the CDOW confirmed that beaver activity has been a problem for this and other properties along Black Canyon Creek. 27,28 -=01.,1....... a 16 6 4 4 , -14*Ati~illjiltj hip,P t'' ' 1 - --1 ~f>», a: 1#9-3 4 - ~~d e/m 40it :LY , -\,t-1,/ 443&4*4~#~~I,- 4, ~7~:,:h,y,#r.

PROPOSED ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT According to the proposed Development site plan dated April 2009 and the proposed build-out schedule, the property will eventually contain a total of 32 new units built over approximately 10 years starting in the fall of 2009 (Figure 2). 29,30 For these units, nine (9) new buildings will be built across the property (units 1-5,12-13,14-16,17- 18, 19-21,22-24,25-26, 27-28, and 29-32), with two (2) buildings being built within the footprint of existing buildings/foundations (units 12-13, and 29-32) (Figure 10). Eight (8) buildings will be constructed across the eastern half of the property within the upland forested area, with the remaining building being constructed adjacent to Black Canyon Creek. Nearly every new unit will be a multi-family housing unit/condominium of some sort, with additional parking areas and driveways being developed adjacent to the new buildings. Two of the additional parking areas will be constructed over the top of existing structures on the property (associated with units 22-24 and 25-26) (Figure 10).

EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL WILDLIFE IMPACTS For this report, evaluations of potential adverse impacts upon wildlife as a result of the proposed Development were based on: 1) The type and level of existing or potential wildlife use of the property within the context of its current development characteristics; 2) The location of proposed additional units and associated parking areas as related to lost/modified habitat, movement corridors, or impacts upon adjacent habitat areas; 3) The fact that many elk and deer (and possibly even bear) are habituated to human presence and human- induced disturbances; 4) The fact that elk and deer currently utilize areas within developed portions of the property between existing residential units; 5) The likelihood of wildlife reasonably accommodating to resulting changes in habitat, movement corridors, etc., due to the development of additional units and parking areas; and WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO ~ 16 6) The capacity of the proposed Development to offset potential adverse impacts. 6.1. CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING A PHASED DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE According to the proposed build-out schedule, construction of new buildings/units will occur over a 10-year period beginning in the late-summer/fall 2009. Under a phased construction schedule such as this, it is likely that only one or two buildings, along with their associated parking areas, may be built in any given year. By extending construction activities across many years, potential construction-related impacts to wildlife will be localized around individual construction units rather than across the property as a whole. This should leave most of the property open for elk, deer, and other wildlife use. Phased construction schedules should also allow habituated animals to easily adapt to changes in their surroundings and associated additional human activity, and to continue to utilize undisturbed portions of the property at or near normal levels. Research within the Estes Valley itself in 2001 has shown that even in situations where habituated elk and deer were intentionally exposed to potentially highly disruptive human-related disturbances, the affected animals quickly learned to accept the disturbance and continued 3l their normal daily activities. Given the likelihood of this occurring, a phased development schedule like the one proposed should greatly reduce impacts upon elk and deer. 6.2. POTENTIAL IMPACTS UPON ELK AND DEER LoAFING AND FORAGING 6.2.1. CURRENT ELK AND DEER LOAFING AND FORAGING CONDITIONS Approximately 82% of the property is landscaped open space or open space under native vegetation.32 Based on the property's location and physical attributes, it is likely that most elk and deer loafing and foraging on the property is from transient animals moving along the Black Canyon Creek corridor, and between the MacGregor Ranch and areas north of the Standley Hotel. Moderate to high quality elk and deer loafing and foraging areas are found within the western third of the property and are generally associated with the Black Canyon Creek riparian corridor and adjacent areas (both on and off property).33 Low to moderate quality loafing and foraging areas are scattered throughout the east-central portion of the property, with pockets of moderate to high quality habitat found behind the restaurant (irrigated sod lawn) and northwest of the current property management office, as well as in the southeast and extreme east-northeast corners of the property (Figure 11). During the spring, summer, and fall months, each of these areas receives light to moderate levels of human disturbance on a weekly to daily basis.34 Although no buildings are found immediately adjacent to Black Canyon Creek, pedestrian traffic from Rock Acres Condominiums to Saint Bartholomew's Church occurs on a regular basis (in the form of an adult with several children taking "nature walks" along the Creek), with most travel occurring WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 17 OV•· to'.'

Human activity around the southeast and east-northeast corners of the property is largely attributed to daily activities around housing units and neighboring private residences, with periodic pedestrian traffic between the Development and areas around the Standley Hotel.37 Human activity within low to moderate quality loafing and foraging areas is less periodic, but can increase during spring, summer, and fall.38 6.2.2. POST-CONSTRUCTION ELK AND DEER LOAFING AND FORAGING CONDITIONS According to the proposed Development site plan, construction of additional buildings is desired within at least a portion of each of the areas identified in Figure 11. Construction of additional buildings is scheduled to occur over an approximate 10-year period, with lota] open space after all construction is complete equaling approximately 71% WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO ~ 18 . of the property. Based on current property characteristics, as well as upon current and future management philosophy, native trees, shrubs, and vegetation will be preserved to the maximum extent possible during the construction of additional buildings and driveways, with all disturbed areas being reclaimed to native 39-40 vegetation. According to the proposed site plan, the proposed new construction along Black Canyon Creek (units 1-5, along with the parking lot and the associated access driveway) will occur outside of a 50-foot wetland/100-year floodplain setback. This setback places the building tight against the granite slope of the large rock outcrop, leaving unchanged much of the open area that is currently found between the wetland and the rock slope (Figure 12). Although a small portion of elk and deer foraging habitat will be lost by the addition of this unit, the vast majority of the overall loafing and foraging habitat in this area will be preserved. Because additional housing units will likely increase human activity in this area, at least seasonally, it is possible that light to moderate disturbances to individual elk and deer loafing and foraging activities could increase. Although elk and deer loafing and foraging activities may be temporarily impacted by actual construction activities for this building, or impacted by increased seasonal use of the area by residents, there is no reason to expect any significant long-term impact on overall elk and deer loafing and foraging along or within the Black Canyon Creek corridor on or adjacent to the property.

Note that most construction will occur from the area of the large trees back toward the rock outcrop, leaving the open corridor along the creek bank intact. According to proposed Development standards, any disturbed areas between the new building and the Creek corridor will be reclaimed with native vegetation. Because construction of within the north-central portion of the property (units 6-9) will essentially be a remodel and extension of an already existing structure, and because elk and deer currently utilize areas of high human disturbance behind the restaurant, it is unlikely that construction activities in this location will have any significant WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT . ESTES PARK, COLORADO 19 impact upon elk and deer. Depending on the time of year that construction occurs, impacts are likely to be ~ moderate or even slight. Construction of additional buildings within and adjacent to the low to medium quality loafing and foraging areas through the interior of the property (proposed units 12-18, and units 25-26) are likely to have only a slight impact on elk and deer utilizing these areas. Because these areas are used by elk and deer as they occasionally move across the property, and not by animals necessarily looking to these areas as "destination" areas, and because much of the better quality portions of these areas will remain once all construction is complete, animals traveling through the interior of the property post-construction will still have loafing and foraging areas available to them around these locations. Additionally, proposed units 10-11, and 12-13 are units to be built over or within existing structures. As such, it is unlikely that the development of additional buildings in the interior of the property-where currently identified and under a phased construction schedule-will cause a significant long-term impact upon overall elk and deer loafing and foraging within these areas. Construction of additional buildings within and adjacent to the medium to high quality loafing and foraging areas at the southeast and east-northeast corners of the property (proposed units 19-24 and 29-32) is likely to have a slight to moderate temporary impact on elk and deer utilizing these areas, at least seasonally. Because these areas are used primarily by elk and deer moving through the property on a transient basis, and not by animals looking to these areas as "destination" areas per se, and because portions of these areas will remain once all construction is complete, animals traveling through these areas post-construction will still have medium quality loafing and foraging areas available to them in these locations. Additionally, at least a portion of the parking lot for units 19-24 lies across an existing structure and its current access driveway, and a large portion of units 29-32 lie across the footprint of an existing building foundation. As such, it is unlikely that the development of additional buildings within the southeast and east-northeast corners of the property-where currently identified and under a phased construction schedule-will cause a significant long-term impact on overall elk and deer loafing and foraging within these areas. 6.3. POTENTIAL IMPACTS UPON ELK AND DEER MOVEMENT 6.3.1. CURRENT ELK AND DEER MOVEMENT PATTERNS As outlined in Section 3.2., movement across the property occurs primarily along two corridors and a possible secondary corridor (Figure 13). Because of the prominent geological formations along the north and south property boundaries, coupled with the presence of potentially highly restrictive livestock fencing along the north property line, elk and deer movement east/west across the properly is forced through areas with potentially high levels of human activity. Despite this, however, the property manager confirms that elk and deer movement a does routinely WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO ~ 20 1._ , 1 re ''-A j .~*3*\ 1-1---..ri i... %,2/ 7 .v.•/-·ap.+' ,·.1,<: 34/7 1 /\ C lilli 314· 9.Ld/ 9 ..„ ruf 1,14.5>*,- 9/ 2 -:GL:.&4--i-,- .--/\ 4--- , . - h ' .../. ~0 1 .2,· i.3 ...... r '~--44> 1 1 8 1- ,, / / F1.,· 1 I.

Primary elk and deer movement corridors through the property. occur along this corridor, as well as between the north-central residential units and areas behind the restaurant and the existing property management office. Movement of elk and deer along the Black Canyon Creek corridor is reported to be fairly consistent throughout the year, with peak activity occurring during the fall. As shown previously (Figure 5), the movement corridor along Black Canyon Creek reportedly includes areas within the creek drainage, as well as in adjacent open areas along MacGregor Avenue. During the spring, summer, and fall months, each of these areas receives light to moderate levels of human disturbance on a weekly to daily basis.41 Although no housing structures are found immediately adjacent to Black Canyon Creek, pedestrian traffic from Rock Acres Condominiums to Saint Bartholomew's Church occurs on a regular basis (in the form of an adult with several children taking "nature walks" along the Creek), with most travel occurring along the east bank of the riparian corridor.42 Human activity around the pond and adjacent open areas occurs periodically throughout the spring, summer, and fall months.43 Human activity around and behind the restaurant occurs regularly throughout the spring, summer, and fall months, with periodic activity during the winter. Human activity around the southeast and east-northeast corners of the property is largely attributed to daily WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 21 activities around housing units and neighboring private residences, with periodic "off-trail" pedestrian traffic ~ occurring between the Development and areas around the Standley Hotel.44 Human activity within low to moderate quality loafing and foraging areas within the interior of the Development is less periodic, but can increase during the spring, summer, and fall months.45 It should be noted that all "non-resident" recreational human activity (i.e., trespassing) is strictly prohibited within the property, except for such activities as are expressly permitted by the management. 6.3.2. EXPECTED POST-CONSTRUCTION MOVEMENT PATTERNS Once construction is complete after the planned 10-year build-out, the property will remain approximately 71% open space. Because the proposed construction for units 1-5 is located on the rocky slope above and east of the creek corridor, and because the access driveway to the new unit will not alter any creek corridor features, it is unlikely that the new building will cause any modification or disruption of elk or deer movement along Black Canyon Creek. While the additions of proposed units 14-16, 25-26, and 29-32, lie within one of the primary movement corridors through the property, it is likely that movement by elk and deer will continue through the area. During the construction of these units and adjacent parking lots, it is likely that elk and deer will be moderately impacted, but this impact should last only as long as construction lasts. Once construction of these additional units is complete, open areas along the corridor will remain relatively intact and allow movement around the new units and parking lots. Similarly, movement by elk and deer through the possible secondary corridor is likely to be moderately impacted by the additions of proposed units 19-21. Elk and deer utilizing this corridor will have to modify their current direct course of travel and move around and between the additional units, however, it is likely animals will acclimate to this adjustment fairly quickly. 6.4. POTENTIAL IMPACTS TO ELK AND DEER CALVING/FAWNING HABITAT Under the EVDC, development potentially affecting land that contains an identified calving/fawning area can trigger formal CDOW review. Chapter 7.8, Section F.3 of this code states: DOW Review. For applications referred to it, the Division of Wildlife will determine whether the proposal will result in significant adverse impact on wildlife or wildlife habitat only if the development adversely impacts the following: a. An endangered or threatened species, b. A calving, lambing, or fawning area, c. Bighorn sheep or bighorn sheep habitat, d. Raptor nest site, or e. Riparian areas or wetlands WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO < 22 Because no historical data or confirmed sightings exist regarding the actual presence on the property of either elk or deer with calves/fawns less than 5 days old, for this assessment, evaluation ofpotential impacts upon calving/fawning areas was limited to evaluation of the potential impacts upon potential calving/fawning habitat. Although the mere presence of potential calving/fawning habitat does not necessarily indicate that the area is in fact a "designated" calving/fawning area, certain habitat characteristics can provide clues as to whether calving/fawning might be expected within a given area. Similarly, the number and relative quality of these characteristics, along with their relative location within the overalllandscape, can be used to judge the quality of the potential calving/fawning habitat. For elk in particular, the vast majority of preferred calving sites in Colorado and throughout North America: 1) Contain some level of woody or shrubby overstory (e.g., willows or other trees, sagebrush, etc.); 2) Contain dense herbaceous ground cover, woody debris, or rocky outcrops/boulders that provide low lying hiding cover for calves; 3) Are located near open foraging areas; and 46,47,48,49 4) Are located within a few to several hundred yards of a water source. Although most discussions of potential impacts to calving/fawning areas typically pertain to the general geographic areas within which a population of animals may calve/fawn, recent discussions with regard to the Town of Estes Park have indicated that potential impacts to individual animals' calving/fawning areas/sites may also be covered within the EVDC. For this Assessment, therefore, evaluations of potential impacts upon potential calving/fawning habitat will include not only the likelihood of impacts upon populations utilizing the area as a whole, but also the likelihood of impacts upon individual animals as a result of a particular proposed development action. 6.4.1. EVALUATION OF EXISTING POTENTIAL CALVING/FAWNING HABITAT Moderate to high quality elk and deer calving/fawning habitat (as compared to known calving/fawning habitats within the Estes Park/Estes Valley region) can be found on the properly throughout the Black Canyon Creek corridor. Portions of the corridor located south of the main entrance driveway and toward the north property line along the boundary of the Saint Bartholomew' s Church property contain the highest quality habitat areas on the property (see Figure 8). Numerous observations by the CDOW and current property management confirm that elk and deer utilize various portions of the Black Canyon Creek drainage for calving/fawning each year, with confirmed calving/fawning occurring from the interior of MacGregor Ranch to areas adjacent to the Town municipal buildings.50,51 In general, the quality ofpotential calving/fawning habitat decreases as one moves east across the property. WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK. COLORADO 23 While sightings of elk with young calves, and of deer with young fawns, have been reported on the property in the . last few years, most sightings were of animals with highly mobile calves/fawns at their sides. The fact of calves and fawns quickly and efficiently traveling with their mothers suggests that they are likely more than 5 days old, and makes it difficult to know whether they were born within or immediately adjacent to the property. If, however, we assume they were born on the property, based on the timing of most calving/fawning activities (mid-May through the end of June) and on the existing level of human disturbance along the Creek corridor during this time (as outlined in Sections 3.2 and 5.2.1), it is likely animals giving birth on the property and continuing to use the property during the summer with their calves/fawns are highly habituated to human presence. 6.4.2. EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL POST-CONSTRUCTION CALVING/FAWNING HABITAT According to the proposed site plan, no modification of any habitat component within the creek drainage will occur. Adjacent to the drainage, however, a realignment of the entrance driveway into the property is proposed west of the creek, and a new building (units 1-5) with an associated access driveway is proposed east of the creek. The proposed new entrance driveway will traverse the grassy open area adjacent to MacGregor Avenue, with the existing entrance driveway being reclaimed to native (grass) vegetation (Figure 14). The proposed new building will be built against the rock outcrop within the existing Ponderosa pine and native shrub uplands, and will be positioned outside the EVDC 50-foot wetland area setback. No alteration of any potential calving/fawning habitat component is proposed for the high quality habitat area adjacent to the property . boundary south of Saint Bartholomew' s Church. i.. E- 1...

The proposed new driveway will pass roughly between the yellow mailbox and the entrance sign. No impact upon potential calving/fawning within the northern high quality habitat area adjacent to Saint Bartholomew's Church is expected. Because the realignment of the entrance driveway will be a slight modification WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO ~ 24 to what already exists, with disturbed areas to be reclaimed once driveway construction is complete, it is unlikely that this proposed development action will cause any long-term impact to the potential calving/fawning habitat found within, or adjacent to, the Black Canyon Creek corridor. Although the proposed new construction of units 1 - 5 will be adjacent to the creek corridor, it is RES's opinion that this building (and the resultant increase in human activity around this building) will not create a significant impact upon the overall population of elk and deer that calve/fawn along the Black Canyon Creek corridor, and will likely cause only a slight to moderate short-term impact upon individual animals calving/fawning on the property-specifically south of the entrance driveway. This opinion is based on: 1) The likely consistent type and intensity of use of the area along Black Canyon Creek from current usage patterns and intensity to post-construction use and intensity; 2) The specific habitat characteristics of areas adjacent to the proposed building location vs. other area characteristics; and 3) The lack of any modification to existing cover, forage, or water resources for calving/fawning animals. Although the proposed new building will add five residential housing units to the area immediately adjacent to the creek corridor, the likely type and intensity of any additional human activity within this area will be similar to what is already experienced by elk and deer currently utilizing this area during early spring and summer. As outlined in Sections 3.2 and 5.2.1, human activity already occurs on a periodic to regular basis along the creek corridor during spring and summer. Because the additional human activity associated with the proposed new building will most likely be predictable and primarily associated with areas around the building and the associated parking lot, it is unlikely that habituated animals will perceive the additional human activity as significantly disruptive. As Black Canyon Creek courses through the property south of the entrance driveway, the highest quality open areas available for loafing and foraging adjacent to the willow bottom are found on the creek's west bank. The location of these open areas, the location, size, and density of the willows within the creek drainage, and the current habitat characteristics of the area east of the creek suggest that a high proportion of elk and deer activity within this area is likely to occur west of the creek, away from the proposed building location. This possibility may be confirmed, in part, by the high level of use of the open areas west of MacGregor Avenue, directly west and southwest of the area in question. Add to this the 50-foot buffer between the proposed building and the stream bank, and it is unlikely that habituated elk and deer would perceive the proposed building as a significant encroachment upon their normal activities. WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUNIS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 25 Because no modification to the creek drainage south of the entrance driveway is proposed, no loss of tangible calving/fawning habitat components is likely to occur. Protective cover resources for calves/fawns, adjacent foraging areas for adult animals, and free, available water will all remain at current levels and relative quality post- construction. Because of this, it is unlikely that habituated elk and deer seeking calving/fawning sites along the creek corridor would perceive any significant reduction in overall habitat suitability as a result of the proposed building. 6.5. POTENTIAL IMPACTS UPON OTHER WILDLIFE Because this proposed Development does not alter any habitat characteristics within the Black Canyon Creek drainage, or any adjacent "desirable" habitats or resource components, it is not likely that this Development will impact beavers to any degree. Likewise, because the creek corridor will be preserved, it is unlikely that development activities will significantly or even moderately affect migratory songbird nesting or general activity within the conidor. Impacts on nuisance wildlife/bear issues, however, may be affected by this Development. 6.5.1. CURRENT NUISANCE BEAR ISSUES Currently, the property experiences nuisance bear related issues periodically throughout the summer and early fall, with bears breaking into the fully enclosed trash enclosure behind the restaurant-despite its being locked and surrounded by electrified wire.52 All garbage generated within the Development is collected and stored at this single trash enclosure in an effort to make waste management more efficient, and to help reduce the distribution of nuisance bear issues across the property (Figure 15). Unfortunately, however, owners of private property in- holdings and adjacent properties are not under control of the Development, and may not make the necessary 'J~ ifb .~~~~~~~4 ,~~~~IlljlfkWIZIETiF - rv 1.31- 294# -ILY 1, *0//6..illillt 1 1* \ ~ / A 1 IUM 4 . - t Wi:' T j,//- , ..j ~.~ a -r 1/9 -*06&2 i \11 ga.- - .i7 It - - - . 1//1/.9 1 7 .Z« --C 9,0 Ef'* 47 -' 20= . 0- Ct -, %. lamiv**'. o. i# li "C+PR./.9 Figure 15.

Similarly, barbeque grills, bird feeders, and other human-related food sources may increase the number of nuisance bear related incidents occurring across the property and throughout the area in general (Figure 17). While the Development currently strives to manage barbeque grills closely during the summer and fall months, it does not have control over what owners of private property in-holdings and adjacent properties do with their barbeque grills, feeders, etc. 4,1 1 ···.2//1/6 1 ir'/$)//Ill./.W".~'"/- V4 ~ , - .//M .0 AA 4 .7 ' f 4 1 : · 1.. 4 i $ r Figure 16.

POTENTIAL POST-CONSTRUCTION NUISANCE BEAR ISSUES ~ With the addition of new units over the course of 10 years, additional garbage will be produced and will be in need of disposal. Because of this, it is unlikely that the existing trash enclosure will be sufficient to handle the additional load, resulting either in a requirement for a new trash enclosure, or installation of trash enclosures/ dumpsters in additional areas within the Development. Likewise, increases in the number of housing units will likely translate into an increase in the number of barbeque grills, bird feeders, etc., that will also require proper management. With an increase in trash, barbeque grills, etc., comes a likely increase in the Development's attractiveness for bears and other nuisance wildlife. Depending on the actions taken by the Development to manage these increases in human- related food sources, the development of additional housing units across the property may lead to moderate increases in nuisance wildlife/bear issues. 7. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MINIMIZING POTENTIAL IMPACTS Although RES does not believe that the proposed Development will create any significant impacts upon wildlife as it is currently presented, we wish to make several recommendations that may help further reduce or offset wildlife impacts. These recommendations pertain to: 1) Timing restrictions on certain Development activities to further reduce potential impacts on elk and/or deer calving/fawning; 2) Possible fence removal/fence design modifications along the north fence line to facilitate wildlife movement; and 3) The installation of bear-proof trash enclosures and/or dumpsters. 7.1. TIMING RESTRICTIONS In order to help ensure that construction-related disturbances do not impact either nesting migratory birds (which would violate the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act) or potential elk calving/deer fawning activities, construction activities should not be initiated between 1 April and 15 July. In Colorado, elk and deer typically give birth between mid-May and mid-June, with most nesting migratory birds beginning nesting (at the elevation of Estes Park) between mid-April and early May, and fledging their young by mid-July. If construction activities are initiated prior to 1 April, it is expected that most, if not all, animals preparing to nest or give birth in the area will have sufficient time and opportunity to find other suitable sites. Construction activities initiated after 15 July are not likely to impact much, if any, bird nesting or deer/elk fawning/calving activity. WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO ~ 28 If, however, initiation of construction activities is required between 1 April and 15 July, a detailed wildlife assessment of bird nesting and elk and deer calving/fawning activities within and immediately around (within 100 meters) the proposed construction site should be carried out by a qualified third party prior to any construction. If nesting, calving, or fawning animals are observed within or adjacent to the proposed construction area, construction activities should be postponed until such activity has ceased, or until 15 July, whichever comes first. In this way, potential direct impacts to breeding birds and calving/fawning animals can be virtually eliminated. 7.2. FENCE REMOVAL/DESIGN MODIFICATIONS Fully understanding the need for adequate fencing to keep neighboring livestock from entering the property, and understanding that discussions regarding potential fence modifications will surely require the consultation of neighboring landowners, elk and deer could potentially benefit from a modification to the north fence line. As the fence is currently constructed, the combination of both multi-strand barbed wire and buck-and-pole fencing can create a significant barrier to movement of elk and deer, especially for females with calves or fawns (Figure 18) Whether the entire fence line is modified, or simply portions of it that might serve as a wildlife "gate," elk and deer stand to benefit greatly by any measure that makes movement across the north property boundary safer and easier, as this measure would do. If this recommendation is of interest to the property's management, RES or the CDOW can provide additional design recommendations and consultation regarding this issue. - Al: 1./. 24...I- E,ji.. 1- .Ii. 4 4=~'. -M-,1+ .jo . .- - ' . .e ~ Figure 18. North fence line along the MacGregor Ranch boundary. Notice the multi-strand barbed wire in conjunction with the buck-and- pole fence. This type of fence can be highly restrictive to elle and deer movement. Although potentially less of a problem, it is recommended that the remnant portions of old "sheep fence" be removed from areas along the property boundary with Saint Bartholomew's Church (Figure 19). While this area does not contain restrictive fencing like other areas of the north fence line do, remnant portions of old sheep fence WILDLIFE IMPACT ASSESSMENT MARCH 2008 (UPDATED APRIL 2009) THE LODGES AT BLACK CANYON INN CONDOMINIUMS DEVELOPMENT ESTES PARK, COLORADO 29 could pose an entrapment risk for animals moving through this area. Removal of this fence would likely be ~ relatively easy, and would require no modification to neighboring land use, as this portion of fence currently serves no purpose. z. adirmk~*//LIA"/I . 1, f 43~*Vivtcm'f~24*Nt.Y ·4<M~ ~4 4 2'.r: 74///C 6.0//40116- .lf 61# - 11£'. , l. ..: j.'i ·7 4. dwdirk,J e- .//2 · ·114, W 1. 1 *g 4. 9 N 44 . 41~M \ r- · 1 y Figure 19. Unnecessary remnant portions of sheep fence within the creek corridor along the north fence line. NOTE: As of the April 2009 Update, per the property manager, remnant portions of sheep fence within the creek corridor along the northfence line have been removed.53Additionally, management at The Lodges at Black Canyon Inn Condominiums is continuing discussions with the MacGregor Ranch in an effort to work toward minimizing the ak barbed wire under the buck-and-pole fence along their common boundary.54 7.3. INSTALLATION OF BEAR-PROOF TRASH ENCLOSURES AND/OR DUMPSTERS As outlined in Section 5.5.2., additional residential units will most certainly create additional garbage in need of disposal. When designing additional garbage collection points, or planning for the deployment of additional dumpsters, it is highly recommended that future trash enclosures be designed and built to be bear-proof, and that additional garbage dumpsters be equally bear-proof. By making the necessary design changes and budgetary adjustments for these additions early in the development stage, nuisance bear and other wildlife issues at trash collection points can be greatly reduced. Not only is this safer for the Development and its residents, but it is also cheaper and less time-consuming for management, makes it easier for the CDOW, and is much better for wildlife as well.

Lots 15, 16, and 17, Block 2 of The Neighborhood subdivision are located on Gray Hawk Court, which is currently accessed via Red Tail Hawk Drive. Once Phase II of the Gray Hawk Court road construction is complete, Gray Hawk Court will also connect to Crabapple Lane. APPLICANT: Pawnee Meadows LLC, Pawnee Meadows, LLC PROPERTY OWNER: Pawnee Meadows, LLC CONSULTANT/ENGINEER: Estes Park Surveyors and Engineers STAFF CONTACT(S): Bob Joseph APPLICABLE LAND USE CODE: Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) Amended Plat of Lots 15, 16. and 17, Block 2, The Neighborhood PROJECT DESCRPTION/BACKGROUND: Overview The Neighborhood subdivision, created in 2005, is the first attainable single-family subdivision undertaken by a private developer, Pawnee Meadows, LLC (Pawnee Meadows LLC), since the adoption of the Estes Valley Development Code in 2000. Of the thirty homes to be built in the subdivision, fifteen will be deed- restricted for a thirty-year period to households earning 100 percent or less of Larimer County area median income [AMII. The developer stated during the 2005 plat review that his intent was to target the other fifteen homes to households earning 120 percent or less of area median income. Thirteen homes have been constructed, four of which have been sold to income- qualified households and deed-restricted. Both the deed-restricted and non-deed restricted homes help meet the needs of an important component our community. Per the Estes Valley Housing Needs Assessment completed for the Estes Park Housing Authority in March 2008, http://www.esteshousing.org/NeedsAssessment.pdf, the median single-family home price in 2007 was $317,500. The average home price according to Larimer County Tax Assessor records for a house in the Neighborhood is $228,873. Per the Housing Assessment, the Neighborhood is an "unsubsidized development [that] provides the lowest priced new single-family homes in the area" and "a more detailed examination of the affordability of units listed for sale shows that the free market provides few housing opportunities for households with incomes below 120% AMI." Below is a picture of a typical house in the subdivision. -tic-4 . el 4 i.6*0.~.ithn Um~,Hir~h- .- .*r-- -I 71(41/2 h IiI:'?11 · ··1 = pt - ,7'lit:. /*•L "521.i -22["¥"g~,7//'er./"I'imp!,- Amended Plat of Lots 15, 16, and 17, Block 2, The Neighborhood 3 Current Application Pawnee Meadows LLC has almost completed Phase I of the project (the west fourteen lots) and is starting to develop Phase II (the east sixteen lots). They have submitted a preliminary plat application to subdivide three R-1- zoned lots in Phase II (Lots 15, 16, and 17, Block 2, The Neighborhood Subdivision) into five lots. Pawnee Meadows LLC describes in the statemeiit of intent that this is an effort to keep the project viable given the slow sales. Increasing the number of lots reduces the infrastructure costs per lot, allowing homes on these lots to be sold for about $20,000 less than homes built on other lots in the subdivision, while also increasing the home size by about fifteen percent. All, but one of the existing homes, are one-story, are about 1,320 to 1,898 square feet in size, contain a crawl space or basement that is the same size as the first floor, and a two-car garage. This subdivision would increase the total number of single-family lots in The Neighborhood from thirty to thirty-two and the number attainable (deed-restricted) lots from fifteen to seventeen.

The Estes Valley Planning Commission is the recommending body and the Estes Park Town Board is the decision-making body for this preliminary plat application. If approved, the next step is submittal of a final plat application for Town Board review. IV. REFERRAL AGENCY AND PUBLIC COMMENT REFERRAL AGENCIES This application has been routed to reviewing agencies for consideration and comment. Written comments were received from the following agencies and are included in the Planning Commission notebooks. Estes Park Building Department See Will Birchfield's memo to Alison Chilcott dated May 22,2009. Estes Park Public Works & Utilities See Tracy Feagan' s memo to Alison ~ Chilcott, Bob Goehring, and Scott Zurn dated June 3,2009. Town Attorney See Greg White's letter to Alison Chilcott dated May 15, 2009. PUBLIC COMMENT In accordance with the notice requirements in the Estes Valley Development Code, a legal notice for the Planning Commission public hearing was published in the Estes Park Trail-Gazette, and postcards were mailed to nearby property owners directly notifying these owners of the public hearings. A list of the notified property owners is included in the Planning Commission notebooks. An overview of the application is posted on the Town website, http://www.estesnet.com/comdev/CurrentRequests.aspx for public review. The entire application is available for review in the Community Development office. No written public comment has been received. Amended Plat of Lots 15, 16, and 17, Block 2, The Neighborhood 8 V. STAFF FINDINGS 1. Project Description/Background The Project Description/Background found in Section I of this staff report is included as a staff finding. 2. Reviewing Agency Comments This request has been submitted to all applicable-reviewing agency staff for consideration and comment. All comments submitted by reviewing agency staff, referred to in Section IV of this staff report, are incorporated as staff findings. 3. Public Comment Staff has not received any written public comment. 4. Compliance with Subdivision Standards Staff finds that this subdivision application has demonstrated compliance with the standards and criteria set forth in Chapter 10, "Subdivision Standards," and all other applicable provisions of the Estes Valley Development Code provided the recommended conditions of approval are met. Staff recommends that no changes to the original Neighborhood subdivision approval be approved except those noted in this staff report. 5. Adequate Public Facilities (Infrastructure) Phase II (East Side) Adequate Public Facilities Staff' s understanding is that the developer wishes to move quickly to complete construction on Phase II public infrastructure improvements such as the road connection to Crabapple Lane. He has applied for a building permit for the first home in Phase II and the Town required that utility lines, street curb, and asphalt be complete prior to occupancy of a home in this phase. Completion of the Phase II public infrastructure could not occur until the former property owner moved out of the house now located primarily on Lot 22, Block 2 and partially in the Gray Hawk Court right-of-way. Staffs understanding is that this occurred in the past year. Current Application The public infrastructure, originally required for The Neighborhood subdivision, can also accommodate the proposed subdivision. Additional private service lines will need to be installed for water, sewer and other utilities. Planning staff's understanding is that no revisions to the approved construction plans for The Neighborhood subdivision are needed to accommodate the proposed subdivision. Amended Plat of Lots 15, 16, and 17, Block 2, The Neighborhood 9 - Adequate public facilities to serve the current and proposed subdivision Are guaranteed with a letter of credit. Drainage from the single-family lots in The Neighborhood subdivision is discharged without detention into to Dry Gulch via a culvert under Dry Gulch Road. There is an easement agreement with the owner of the Dry Gulch property to allow for this discharge. 6. Lot Size, Dimensional Standards, and Configuration The proposed lots are rectangular, gently sloping, and do not contain any dignificant vegetation, with the exception that trees and shrubs were recently planted to serve as a district buffer with the property to the south. The lots comply with the minimum lot size and width requirements in R-1 zoning district. The minimum lot size is 5,000 square feet and the minimum lot width is 50 feet (EVDC Table 4-2). In accordance with EVDC Section 10.4.A, the lot area/size, , width, depth, shape, and orientation are appropriate for the location of the subdivision and for the type of development and use contemplated. Each lot has a building site as demonstrated in the submitted application. The minimum required setbacks in the R-1 zoning district are fifteen feet from front and rear lot lines and ten feet from side lot lines. The applicant is requesting a minor modification to the side-yard setback to allow platted 7.5-foot setbacks. Staff is supportive of reduced setbacks provided the reduced side yard setback shall only apply to one side of each lot. The side so chosen shall be determined at the time of construction of the home on the lot. Amended Plat of Lots 15, 16, and 17, Block 2, The Neighborhood I 0 15' 15' .-1 „ -1 r- 1 1 L------J.

Amended Plat of Lots 15, 16, and 17, Block 2, The Neighborhood 1@1 11 In approving a minor modification the Planning Commission must find that the modification "advances the goals and purposes of this Code and either results in less visual impact or more effective environmental or. open space preservation, or relieves practical difficulties in developing the site" (EVDC 3.7.A.2.b - Page 3-12). Staff finds that the reduced setback advances the goals and purposes of this code and would result in less visual impact. As shown on the submitted site plan, the reduced setback combined with the increased setback on the opposite side of the lot would result in larger side yards on one side and therefore improved over-all visual character. 7. Attainable Housing A number of 'documents related to the original Neighborhood subdivision approval need to be. updated in conjunction with any approval of this proposed subdivision. These documents would be reviewed by the Community Development Committee and the Town Board. The Professional Services Agreement also requires review and approval by the Estes Park Housing Authority. A brief description of these documents is provided below. a. Development Agreement The Town Board approved a development agreement on June 29, 2005, which gave th'e owner the right to develop as summarized in the "Development Agreement' column below. R-1 Zoning District Development Agreement 100% of single-family units 50% of single-family units attainable attainable Attainable to households earning Attainable to households earning 100% 80% 6r less of area median of less of area median income income Attainable units deed restricted Attainable units deed restricted for thirty for no less than twenty years years b. Attainable Housing Agreement This recorded agreement between the Town and developer identifies which lots are designated as attainable. The lots originally proposed as attainable, currently proposed as attainable, and deed-restricted lots are shown below.

Attainable Housing Restrictive Covenant and Agreement This recorded covenant is between the Town and the individual home owner. A separate covenant is recorded for each attainable lot. The covenant starts the clock for the thirty-year attainability period on an individual home. Obligations associated with this covenant transfer to future home owners. This agreement also states that the Town is responsible for determining whether or not a potential buyer is income-qualified to purchase an attainable home. No revisions to this covenant are required. c. Agreement for Professional Services between the Town and Estes Park Housing Authority In this agreement, the Town engages the Housing Authority to perform professional services in connection with the deed restriction (attainable housing covenant) such as income qualification, and sets the method of payment for these services. This agreement would need to be updated to include the new lots. 8. Submitted Application/House Design The developer has identified a need to remain free to modify proposed typical building types to adapt to changing conditions in the market place and the local economy. Therefore the developer requests that all typical house designs presented are for illustrative purposes only and will not be binding as a condition of approval.

The property may also contain other mapped wildlife habitat. The plan was sent to the State Division of Wildlife for comments. No comments were received. Since this properly is mapped as wildlife habitat, no fencing exceeding forty inches in height is permitted unless approved by staff to confine domestic animals or to protect landscaping. Fences over forty inches may be allowed with gaps for wildlife. This is summarized from EVDC Section 7.8.G. 1.c, Fencing, Page 7-35. Much of the fencing in The Neighborhood violates these requirements. I J 1 lili '. - § 1 1 11. Staff's understanding is that new homeowners, not the developer, installed these fences after they purchased their homes. Staff would like the developer' s assistance in adopting a subdivision-wide master fencing plan that meets the intent of this code section, while not necessarily meeting the requirements on a lot-by-lot basis. The developer is proposing a fencing restriction for the five lots in the amended plat. This fencing plan is illustrated below: Amended Plat of Lots 15, 16, and 17, Block 2, The Neighborhood 14 FRONT YARD - NO FENaNG 9 r 1 L------J PRIVACY FENCE-n r=- . 191 i PRIOAC# FENCEE ~ =Lr, 1.-2- Fi 1441 - 4- -Llui- M ' ATTACH COLORED WIRE NEITING , TO EXISTING POLE FENCE WITH ADJACENT INERS PERMISSION THE NEIGHBORHOOD AMENDED PLAT OF LTOS 15 THROUGH 17, BLOCK 2 FENCE GRAPH IC 10.

Utility Easements Generally, ten-foot-wide utility easements are required along all property lines. Staff is supportive of the proposed easement locations and widths. 12. Off-Street Parking and Loading The lot size, shape, and configurations are sufficient to provide off- street parking. Two parking spaces are required per single-family home. 13. Postal Cluster Boxes The applicant provided 32 boxes with the first phase. 14. Right-of-Way The applicant is propo§ing dedication of an additional seventy-seven square feet of right-of-way so that the constructed sidewalk will be located entirely within. right-of-way rather than partially on Lot 15 (proposed Lot lA). Staff is supportive of this. 15. Proposed Lot Numbering The lot numbering should be revised as described in section VI of this staff report. 16. Other Items for Town Board Review The following information is provided for informational purposes and requires no action on the part of Planning Commission. The Town Board previously waived all planning application fees for The Neighborhood subdivision and building permit application fees for the thirty single-family lots. These fee waivers were based on a specific house design. Any proposed changes to this house design need to be reviewed to determine if fee waivers will remain in effect. The applicant is also requesting fee waivers for the preliminary and final subdivision plat applications and building permit fee waivers for lots associated with this new subdivision. This fee waiver will be reviewed by the Community Development Committee and Town Board in July. VI.

Box 1200 ~ APR 2 2 2009 ll Estes Park, CO 80517 l + 0- RE: The Neighborhood Subdivision Statement of Intent for Preliminary Amended Plat Dear Alison: The attached application and plat depict the division of 3 lots into 5 lots at The Neighborhood subdivision. They are the first lots east of the entry and along the south side of the street. All utility mains are in-place for these lots. We will need to extend two more sewer services from the north side of the street. Electric can be served with the current pedestals which number three along the south boundary lines. Because the lots are small, it is simple to keep the distance short from the pedestals to the meter on the side of the houses. The water main is south of the curb line and can be tapped for each lot as the buildings are constructed. This proposal will include these five lots in the existing list of attainable houses for the subdivision. The project now offers 15 lots for attainable homes. With the addition of the two new lots created by this plat, we will be able to offer 17 lots for attainable homes. Because the lots are smaller, we will have less invested in infrastructure which will allow us to sell the homes at about $20,000 less than homes built on the other lots. We believe this will make a very great difference to the prospective purchasers. As sales have been slow, this kind of change in the offering price is necessary to keep the project viable. Although the lots have less street frontage, we have prepared a house plan that adapts to the width by moving one side of each house close to one lot line which makes the outside living space available along the side of the house as opposed to the rear of the house. The footprint of the house is smaller but the square footage of the home is about 15% larger than the models currently constructed in the project. /07., C C J. April 22,2009 Page 2 of 2 The Neighborhood Subdivision Statement of Intent for Preliminary Amended Plat The subdivision was originally approved under the current development cbde. As we are not changing utility mains or the street, this proposal is also in keeping with the development code. Not only are all the utility mains and street in-place, but there are no hazard areas to contend with and the site has not been identified as a critical wildlife habitat. These smaller lots abut a commercial property - self storage units - which means very little or no impact to neighboring properties.

Alison Chilcott om: Chip McCreary [chip@amidallas.com] ent: Monday, May 18, 2009 7:01 PM To: Bob Joseph CC: Resa Mccreary; Barney Treadway; Joan Sapp; john van vliet; MonteDick@aol.com; Alison Chilcott; Dave Shirk Subject: voicemail Hi Bob, I own a house at 262 Fall River Lane and as I mentioned on your voicemail, I heard there is a plan underway to move set-backs to 50 feet from our rivers in Estes! ! Why would anyone do that?? If you lived on Fall River as I do,why would that be of benefit to you,your heirs or future buyers??.How does this enhance community development? I already have 30 foot set-backs that are restrictive but I have lived and complied with them for over 12 years. Perhaps you can call me or email the rational behind this 50 foot set-back movement so I can absorb and respond appropriately.Although my current property [I'm sure] would be grandfathered, I still cannot comprehend any earthly idea why this proposed plan has gained any momentum at all?? I called and have written you because I will not be in Estes until June 15th and if necessary, I want to respond to you and the -- Community Development Board as soon as possible after I absorb the facts and ideas behind this. I have met Alison in the past and have talked to Dave Shirk on more than a couple of occasions and have copied them as well in this email. Both of these fine people strike me as the epitome of reasonableness so they may care to respond to this issue as well.Thanks Bob Chip McCreary ip@amidallas.com LELL: 469-233-5046 1
