There are currently two bed and breakfasts in this area, the Emerald Manor and the Cottonwood house. The subject property is more isolated from the neighborhood, as it's access is from the highway, rather than through the neighborhood. The paved driveway is easily accessible, with space for holding before reentering traffic. West Wonderview is a well -traveled access to the Rocky Mountain National Park. This five bedroom home will be our residence as well as a bed and breakfast. There are three bathrooms currently serving the house, and we do not plan to add to this, as they are adequate for our purposes. The kitchen has been reviewed by Spencer Greene of the Larimer County Health Department, and we will be altering it to conform with new regulations, under Mr. Greene's supervision. This house and grounds are large, and have been used recently for second home, with many guests coming up during the summer to ride, using the stable for their horses, and the large parking area for horse vans and cars. We feel that this property will be used by our guests to no larger degree than that which is normal for this size house and grounds. Our guests will not be bringing up horses, except in rare occasions, but the facilities are there and approved for use if this should happen. According to the Estes Park Chamber of Commerce, two and a half million people visited Rocky Mountain National Park in 1989. We believe that this number will grow, and visitors will be seeking alternatives to the tradi- tional hotel, motel, campground facilities. As a bed and breakfast, we will be able to encourage year round accomodations for visitors who are looking for a get -away that offers peace, views, and all the comforts of their own home. As bed and breakfasts continue to be established in Estes Park, we believe that more front -range visitors will use the get -away concept, and increase the off-season visitor count. While we live in Loveland, our home is under contract, and we spend several days each week in Estes Park. We look forward to living here full time, and adding our home to the lodging opportunities of Estes Park visitors. Peter H. Princehorn Li<A> -may` m.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Rocky Mountain Consultants 5.004 acres Single Family Residence E-Estate Town of Estes Park Private Septic System U.S. 34 By-pass/Wonderview Ave. Applicant is requesting approval for a Bed and Breakfast use within the existing single family residence. Bed and Breakfast uses are permitted by Special Review in an E-Estate District. There are existing parking areas on the site. III. PROJECT REVIEW This project has been examined with respect to Special Review criteria 17.36.030, a. through f. The following are applicable. a. Suitability of the proposed location for this proposal, taking into consideration the following: P. O. IRox 1200 Tele pone (303) 586 : 311 Town of Estes Park March 15, 1990 Page 2 IEsQes Park, CoOorado 80517 1. Nearby land uses and whether they would be supported by or damaged by having the proposed use nearby. The site is over 5 acres in size. The lots on either side of the property are also large lots. The property is also screened by its physical setting. The existing house contains approximately 2,100 sq. ft. of floor area. 2. Adequacy of roads, water, sewerage and drainage facilities serving the site. Expected traffic generation for this use could range from 5.6 to 12 trips per day. The site has direct access from U.S. Highway 34 By-pass. The Public Works Department has commented that prior to commencing this use, a fixture unit audit needs to be performed. A maximum of 90 fixture units are permitted on a 3/4" tap. If the fixture unit count is increased above this, a 1" tap will be required, at the owner's expense. The property is served with an on -site septic system. The Larimer County Sanitation District has not indicated any problems with this. Drainage is adequate per review agency comments. b. Social, economic or community needs served by the proposal: This type of use would appear to serve an unmet community need. IV. COMMENTS OF REFERRAL AGENCIES See attached correspondence. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approval of Special Review 90-2, Bed and Breakfast at 775 West Wonderview, with the following conditions: 1. Add a general note to the Concept Plan which states: Bed and Breakfast use for no more than five persons per day. Town of Estes Park Estes Park, Colloiado 80517 March 15, 1990 Page 3 2.

B&B FACTS In a recent survey. of readers commissioned by Country Inns B'ed & Breakfast magazine, a professional tolling organization asked specific Questions about staying in a bed & breakfast inn. 0f the random sampling of some of the 60,000 subscribers to the magazine, more than 54 percent of those who received the 12-page auestionnaire answered and returned it. According to Country Inns cod -publisher 3harles Silver and Editor -in -Chief Gail Rudder K-irif, these are some of the results of their survey: --- Median income of the respondents, all of whom patronize bed & breakfast inns, was $104,000 annually - --- 90 percent attended college 79 percent were married - -- median age was 43: most were childless married couples in their 30s or early retirees in their late 50s-early 60s travelling witilout children: 77 percent were between the ages of 25 and 54 years. This group has the most discretionary income to spend on vacation. - -- Yost patrons of B&Bs are urban dwellers: they spend at least 44 nights a year at bed and breakfast inns, usually taking "long weekend" getaways veer -round including winter. --- 35 percent of those responding were professionals: 37 percent were managerial or proprietors of their own businesses: 24 percent were on a board of directors of a company: 18 percent owned their own companies. -.-- many, many B&Bs charge between 880 to $150 a double per right, with a 60-70 rercent occunancv rate: in many resort towns, especially in lalifornie, Maine, and Virginia, thet jumps to 95 percent year-round occupancy. - -- Country Inns estimates there are 20,000 bed Pc breakfast and coup ry inns in the United States. - - According to the Wordsworth Book Store in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Mass., there are currently 125 B&B guidebooks to American bed and breakfasts and country inns alone: this doesn't count those guidebooks for France, Great Britain, and Italy. --- Bed and Breakfast lodging and country inns am believed to be the fastest-arowinar segment of th4 tourism industry, which in turn is one of the fastest growing areas of our GNP. FACTS -- Pane 2 --- The Bed Re breakfast industry has experienced a 20 percent growth per year in the past 10 yea.rs, according to the American Bed & Breakfast Association, headquartered in Crofton, ? d. A 1987 study by the Meredith Organization found that 37 million people stayed in Bed & Breakfast inns that year, at an average rate of $56 a night -- which means that the B&B industry is a $2 billion annual industry growing at a 20 percent —a —year rate. -- The states of Michigan and Illinois currently have legislation pending which stipulates that Bed & Breakfast inns should be considered a viable source of economic development and therefore eligible for state aid. --- In Colorado, the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce and the Pikes Peak Community College are teamed with a B&B owner to offer a course called "Starting Your Own Bed & Area'rfast Inn." ---B&B loans are available through the SBA. TESTIMONIALS "Bed and Breakfasts are seen as a savior in some dares because they keep People in town overnight where they spend money in stores and businesses." -- Sarah Sonke director American Bed & Breakfast Association "Our monthly newsletter, called ' inkeening,' has a readership of 5,000 people. Bed & Breakfasts appeal to the upscale traveller, to the upper middle class, a group of people who are seeking more of a lodging experience." -- Pat Hardy founder Professional Associatbn of Innkeepers International FACTS -- Page 3 "'.Ve're finding that bed and breakfast inns are very helpful to communities, they are embraced and appreciated in the community as an enhancement. The small hotel is not affected because a BR,:13 has too few rooms to compete, and the traveler stewing in a bed Re breakfast or country inn is there for a different reason than he or she goes to a bigger hotel." - - Michael Colbu rn Broker/owner HRH Properties Portland, Maine "Bed Re. Brea? -fast lodging is increasingly popular with travelers, and is a growing market. We get many reouests for information about country inns and bed and breakfast inns from peorle who srecificall v want to stay in those kinds of places, rather than bigger hotels or different accommodations." -- Karen Cline AAA —California Los Angeles "Often there can be initial resistance to someone new opening a. bed & breakfast, because they may not know anything about it. But invariably the local residents who were skeptical, or even opposed, are very pleasantly surprised." - - Diana Duggan President Bed ! Breakfast Innkeepers Group of Southern California "Despite the fact that they take up nearly all their owners' time, bed and breakfast inns, once oonfined mostly to the Bast and West coasts, are now sprouting throughout the TTnited States. There are an estimated 20,000 bed and breakfast homes, B&B inns and country inns across the nation now. A recent issue of ihanaina Times magazine reported that the number of commercial B&Bs and country inns today is up more than 200 percent from a decade ago.

X. .l�eassat.am fi Box 1622 Estes �at� eoLotado 80517 To the Board of Trustees, Town of Estes Park I support a zoning change for the 5 acre tract at 775 Wonderview from E-Estate to one which allows a 'Bed and Breakfast' business. Paved access from Wonderview exists. The roof is barely visible from the road. Noise, parking, and traffic would not impact the neighborhood. The house is on a knoll, surrounded by boulders, with a spectacular view and lends itself well to enjoyment by visitors. Bed and breakfast facilities attract a quality clientele, add balance to the types of accom- modations offered, and should be encouraged wherever feasible. This particular property has been unoccupied and unkempt for a number of years. I hope it will soon become an asset to the community. Sincerely, (AW ANaczdAf40 Peggy Beauchamp Mr. and Mrs. Walter E. Steige PO Box 900 Estes Park, Co. 80517 4-29-90 Town Board of Estes Park Estes Park, Co. 80517 Dear Trustees: We are writing to show our support for the use of the property at 775 Wondervue by Patricia and Dean Wariner for a Bed and Breakfast facility. The property is accessed from a public highway and comprises approximately five acres of treed and rocky terrain surrounding the home, making it quite private. We feel this type of use would not be a nuisance to the neighborhood. Patricia and Dean Wariner, who propose to own and run this facility, are very sensitive to the maintenance of the natural environment. This is evidenced by many of the Associated Press articles Tad (Patricia) has written concerning environmental issues. In the nine years I (Paula) have been friends of the Wariners, I have witnessed the creation of their present home, the tasteful natural landscaping surrounding it and their increasing enthusiasm for developing a bed and breakfast facility. We have viewed the proposed property and the house and it couldn't be more appropriately suited for such a facility. It is very private (non interfering with the neighbors), has adequate parking already in place and is located far enough off the highway to not even be seen by passing traffic unless they make a conscious effort to view the home. We therefor support their request and urge your favorable consideration. Sincerely, au*, �LG Paula L. Steige Walter E. Stei MEYER & SAINT ATTORNEYS AT LAW ROBERT H. MEYER CAMILLA R.

Neither Mrs. Meyer nor I have any objection to the granting of such variance. There are already two such operations in our general area and they pose no problems and seem to be a very reason- able use of property in this neighborhood.

Meyer GREIG TEINER GALLERY PAINTINGS — DRAWINGS — CUSTOM FRAMING — BRONZE `gay 3, 1990 • Board of Trustees Town of Estes Park Estes :ark, Colorado Dear Board Members: We were delighted to learn that Tad and Jean ,dariner hope to open a bed and breakfast operation on ,donderview Drive, and we strongly support there in their effort to ?rovide a quality experience for Estes rark's visitors. Our town is fortunate to have a nice variety of such operations; addinf, another high quality inn can only benefit the entire community. And because of its proximity to the business district, this 13&3 would be conveniently located within walking distance. Some years ago many accommodations were available in or very close to the center of town. Most of these have disappeare now, probably a cause for the decrease in pedestrian traffic downtown in the summer evenings. The beauty of the location suggested is that it will not have a negative impact on the neighborhood because of its seclusion from other houses and from the highway. This kind of operation attracts guests with considerable disposable income which --we all hope --then trckles down to various businesses in the area. When we travel we always hope to find a B&B at the end of our journey for we enjoy the charm of such surroundings and the gracious personal service inherent in these establishments. Tad and Dean are bright creative people who would add another pleasing dimension to Estes Park's lodgings. We urge your consideration of the zoning change neeessary to facilitate this new bed and breakfast. Sincerely, Ann and Greig S Y er IN ESTES PARK - COLORADO - BOX 1671 - 80517 - PHONE 586-3358 May 2, 1990 Mayor and Town Trustees Estes Park, Colorado Dear Sirs and Madam; My wife and I understand that our friends Tad and Dean Wariner are interested in purchasing a piece of property off Wonderview Avenue for the purposes of turn- ing it into a Bed and Breakfast. We recommend that they be granted the permit and we have every confidence that it will be an attractive asset to the community. They, the Wariners, have been most generous with their time in the community in the past, and we are sure that they would never do anything that would be detrimental to Estes Park. Our own experiences show that Bed and Breakfast Inns in Europe and this country have always provided a warm homelike atmosphere, and they never require acres of paved parking. It is delightful to find accommodations neither furn- ished or arranged like most motel/hotel rooms. Certainly the ones already established in Estes Park have more than proved their value to the community. There is little to indicate that there is a busi- ness at all, perhaps only a most discrete small sign, certainly nothing objection- able in a residential area. There is a growing trend in this country toward more personalized friendly service that is not furnished by other types of accommodations. In short we heartily recommend that you grant the permit to the Wariners. Ginni and Charles Chaffin COLUMBINE TRAVEL, Inc. 303/586-2377 - 360 E Elkhorn Ave. - PO Box 2958 - Estes Park, Colorado 80517 May 3,1990 Dear Town Board, I feel very strongly that Estes Park could benefit from a Thriving Bed and Breakfast contingent, as it answers a travel need that nothing else can. Many travelers prefer Bed and Breakfast wherever they go - because of the personal touch it brings to their home -away - from -home. The accomodations, meals, and introduction to the area are more authentic representations of the locale -and many of today's travelers prefer them that way. Because of the relatively small numbers of guests they can accomodate, B &B's are in no way athreat to this area- or any area's hotels and motels. The presence of Bed and Breakfast establishments in a destination area indicate a desire to appeal to the .ddiscerning traveler, (as opposed to the simple tourist) who wants to plunge immediately into the essential character of the place. Thats' what B & B's do best- and thats' why Estes Park should welcome them! I have known Dean and Patricia Wariner for over 6 years- both personally and as clients. They are conscientious, dedicated and truly caring people. I feel a Bed and Breakfast operated by Mr. and Mrs. Wariner would be a definite asset to our community.

We have traveled in Europe and have stayed in similar accommodations and find them to be family -style lodgings. We want to wish Tad and Dean the best in this endeavor. MSC/ SEYMOUR GRAHAM REAL ESTATE 1 May 1990 Board of Trustees Town of Estes Park Estes Park, O. 80517 Dear Hoard of Trustees: Box 2436 • Estes Park, Colorado 80517 (303) 586- 804, It has come to my attention that the property located at 775 Wonderview, Estes Park, CO. 80517 is to come before the Board of Trustees on Tuesday, 8 May 1990, and I feel that a Bed and Breakfast operation in this location would not create a hardship. Although the area is zoned "E" Estate, there are mixed kinds of homes in this area. A few are of Estate quality, but others are just average homes. I believe the planning staff and Planning Commission have not taken any specific action to determine what aualifications are necessary for a Bed and Breakfast operation. I feel some guidelines should be laid down before a decision has been made for or against this subject. There are only three or four Bed and Breakfast units ai,roved within the Town of Estes Park and all by special review. To the best of my knowledge, no request for approval of this use has been denied. The ones that are in existence have fit into these areas very well. Bed and Breakfast type operations have been accepted all over the country especially in Colorado. They are most popular in resort areas such as Estes Park. The old areas of the East have many of them and especially in the more affluent communities. Europe and the British Isles have had them in existence for more than a hundred years. A remark has been made that we have enough Bed and Breakfast units in Estes Park and no more should be allowed. Does this mean we should not allow any more gift shops or restaurants because there are too many here? I think not -- I don't think the Town Board has that authority. It is my feeling that all the previous approvals have been spot zoned and there is no reason why this request should be treated any differently. It is on a much larger parcel of land than the others and I think would fit the area. There was no real objection to approval at the Planning Commission hearing.

I have known Mr. and Mrs. Wariner since 1981 and consider them to be outstanding citizens. Mrs. Burgess and I hold them in high esteem. For the past 22 years Tad has been a regional correspodent for Associated Press. Although the word "regional" is in her title, in the past year A.P. has sent her to mainland China and to Alaska to report on the problems in those parts if the world. After the 1982 flood she wrote several nice articles on Estes Park which were printed in newspapers all over the United States. Dean is the former editor of the Fairbanks Daily News Miner, and lecturer at the University of Alaska. In line with his devotion to public service, he is now coaching the high school baseball team. I do hope that you will act favorably on their request, as they have financing available for them to purchase the property. Sincerely. Rc,eit)tk Robert E.

They are honest and of upstanding character. They maintain their current residence on Peak View Dr. in immaculate condition. It is attractively landscaped and always well cared for. They are concerned members of our community who have been involved in the Music Festival, High School baseball coach, ARD, and other civic issues. An Addition of a well run Bed and Breakfast with minimal impact or demands on community services would be a welcome addition to the number of beds available to tourists in Estes Park. The property and the house are well suited for a Bed and Breakfast arrangement. It makes good sense to encourage the establishment of small businesses such as this in our community. We would encourage the Town Board to favorably consider the petition for a Bed and Breakfast at the above mentioned location.
