parking is deemed inadequate. I see no area on the property that is not
Page #4 — Fun Trax Bumper Boats 455 Prospect Village Drive, Amended Special Review #97-02
already developed and available for additional parking." There is a note on
the plat near the west property line that states "Possible future parking as
req'd by the Town of Estes Park staff." This note addresses the concern
raised by the Town Attorney.
The Chief Building Official provided verbal comments to Planning staff on
April 20, 2004 that elevations are required for the bumper pond at the
boundary with the 100 year flood plain and on Fiberglass Edge Detail.
Floodplain elevations can also be provided. This will be reviewed and
approved by the Building Department with building permit submittal and
may require a floodplain permit.

Lot coverage mentioned in the statement of intent is 54.5 percent. Lot
coverage on the development plan is 54.6 percent (78,838/144,651 .
54.5%). The development plan note should be revised.
The development plan states that gross land area equals net land area. This
is incorrect. Since a portion of the site lies within the 100 year flood plain
eighty percent of those lands must be subtracted from gross land area to
arrive at net land area. Gross land area should remain on the development
plan. Staff will not require net land area to be calculated for this proposal.
EVDC §4.4.D.3 includes a requirement to provide sidewalk. Staff does not
recommend sidewalk easement dedication or construction with this
development proposal.
7. EVDC §5.2 Accessory Uses and Structures
This section of the Code is not applicable to the proposed development.
8. EVDC §7.1 Slope Protection Standards

not.
An increase in lot coverage of 3,000 square feet for the bumper boats
requires the addition of one tree and three shrubs to the property unless the
number of existing trees and shrubs exceeds the impervious coverage
landscaping requirements by at least one tree and three shrubs. The trees
and shrubs should be shown on the development plan and a note added
addressing the number, type (including botanical name), and size of trees
and shrubs for staff review and approval. In addition a note should be
added addressing EVDC §7.5.D.2.e Plant Quality, EVDC §7.5.D.4

agreeable to the Town or County and secured by a letter of credit, cash
escrow or other instrument acceptable to the Town or County, in an
amount equal to one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the cost of
materials and labor for all elements of the landscape plan.
b. Restoration and revegation of disturbed areas is required in accordance
with EVDC §7.5.D.3 which states "All portions of the site where
existing vegetative cover is damaged or removed, that are not otherwise
covered with new improvements, shall be successfully revegetated with
a substantial mixed stand of native or adapted grasses and ground
covers. The density of the reestablished grass vegetation after one (1)
growing season shall be adequate to prevent soil erosion and invasion of
weeds. See §7.2 C, "Restoration of Disturbed Areas."

This section of the Code is not applicable to this site. The site is not in a
mapped geologic or wildfire hazard area.
15. EVDC §7.8 Wildlife Habitat Protection
The site is in a mapped deer habitat area; however, the plan was not sent to
the Colorado Division of Wildlife for review. Staff will not require
submittal of a wildlife conservation plan prior to approval of this
development plan.
Review Standards

and to prevent destruction of important wildlife habitat.
16. EVDC §7.9 Exterior Lighting
The applicant/owner should be aware that all new exterior lighting must
comply with this section of the Code. Staff assumes that no additional
lighting is proposed since none is shown on the development plan. If this is
not the case, additional lighting complying with this section of the Code
should be shown on the plan for staff review and approval.
17. EVDC §7.10 Operational Performance Standards

18. EVDC §7.11 Off -Street Parking and Loading
The Code does not establishment minimum off-street parking requirements
for Commercial Recreation or Entertainment Establishments, Outdoor
(Amusement Parks) instead a parking study is required to determine the
minimum amounts of parking (EVDC §7.11.D and §7.11.E. The owner has
submitted a letter stating that parking "...it is my position that the addition
of a pond will increase the number of needed parking spaces minimally. In
my opinion, rather than drawing new customers to our facility, the pond will
be used mainly by the people already there to use the other recreational
facilities. We currently seem to have more than adequate parking spaces for
the needs of our business to the point that neighboring businesses tend to
use our leftover parking."
Rather than requiring a parking study, staff will require a development plan
improvement agreement for parking lot paving and striping. Staff will
review the parking during the peak season and at staffs sole discretion we
will determine if additional parking is needed and if so will require
construction.
The property has a total of forty-three off-street parking spaces, including
two handicapped parking spaces on site. This parking is also used by Lot
1A which is shown on the development plan. The two lots are currently
operated as one cohesive amusement park.
Bicycle racks shall be provided to accommodate one bicycle per twenty
parking spaces.
19. EVDC §7.12 Adequate Public Facilities

As a requirement of the Special Review Approval granted in 1997 for the new Golf Course, a
condition was placed on the Approval requiring the removal of a building located adjacent to the
slide facility (see Exhibit A) which encroaches on a public access easement granted as part of the
approval. 1 have agreed to this removal (see Exhibit B). The building is still used in my business
for storage. In particuiar it provides a covered location to store the air pillows which are part of the
slide operation. Since the easement is not currently used by the Town and will not be until the
Town wants to extend the river walk system, I request that I be granted use of the building until
such time that the Town wishes to actually construct the walkway.

STATEMENT OF INTENT
SPECIAL REVIEW OF LOTS 1A AND SA, OF THE
AMENDED PLAT OF LOTS 1 AND 2, LEE AND ALPS ADDITION AND OF THE
AMENDED PLAT OF LOTS 5A AND 9, PROSPECT VILLAGE SUBDIVISION,
LOCATED IN THE NE 1/4 OF THE SW 114 OF SECTION 25, T5N, R73W,
OF THE 6TH P.M., TOWN OF ESTES PARK, LARIMER COUNTY, COLORADO
The proposed special review plan is to construct a new miniature golf course on Lots 1A and 5A
from the previously stated amended plat. This plan is govemed by the amended plat which is
running concurrent with this proposal. The property lies in a commercial area of the Town and
currently conforms to the surrounding uses. The new layout, two 18 hole courses, will be
integrated into the site taking advantage of existing features such as: the old foundation and rock
wall, the Big Thompson River, rock outcroppings and the pedestrian bridge. The old course has
been in existence for years and the reason for a new layout is to update the design and make
the course more enjoyable to the visitors of the area.
From the amended plat a portion of the existing parking lot has been vacated. This reduces the
total number of parking spaces available on Lot 5A. In the process, the parking on Lot 1A has
been formalized with a restricted curb cut which does not exist today. With the formalization of
the parking lot on Lot 1A the total number of stalls is reduced by approximately three stalls and
based on experience, we feel that there is sufficient parking for the intended uses. There will not
be any new utility taps required for the proposed plan. The existing impervious coverage of
former Lot 2 of Lee and Alps Addition far exceeds the current limit as currently developed, but
the impervious coverage of the proposed golf course boundary will not exceed the 80 % limit set
by the Town code.
The landscaping plan has been submitted and exceeds the minimum as set by code. There is
not a planting buffer proposed on the boundaries of the property because the planting is
throughout the golf course. Any disturbed areas will be reseeded. There will be no retaining
walls along the Big Thompson River, for that stabilization will be obtained be layered boulders on
the banks. Another foot bridge has been proposed within the course layout. This bridge will
require permits which will be obtained prior to construction. Lighting of the site will be low profile
lights through out the course with appropriate parking lot lighting. The drainage from the site will
be sheet flow to the river.
1.a) Nearby land uses consist of outdoor amusements, i.e. Fun City and go kart track, Pizza
Hut and E.P. Brewery. It is the opinion of the applicant and the owners of the surrounding
uses that the proposed project will support the existing uses.
1.b) No service providers have indicated a problem with the project. It is the applicant's
opinion that there are no adverse impacts on the infrastructure.
1.c)
All of the site has been previously disrupted. On the north side of the river the project will
landscape and beautify what is now a demolished motel. On the south side of the river
the project will occupy an area that has been re -graded several times. There have been
no safety concerns raised. It is the applicant's opinion that there are no significant
negative environmental or safety impacts.
2.a) A miniature golf facility as well as other outdoor activities and amusements make up the
vicinity. The design of the project is around a westem theme and will include intensive
landscaping. Colors will be used to create a festive enhancement of the project, but will
not be glaring or a focus that would over ride the central theme.
2.b) The major natural feature at the site is the Big Thompson River which many years ago
was channeled to its present location. Although the river will be bridged, all regulations
will be met. A substantial setback is being left on the river on the south side.
3. This project will provide quality family entertainment close to the central business district.
4. The project is consistent with C-O zoning objectives in that it provides a service to
residents and visitors. This use due to its nature needs an outlying yet convenient
location which C-O provides.
5. There are no known historic resources in or adjacent to the project.
STATEMENT OF INTENT
FOR THE AMENDED SPECIAL REVIEW/
DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF LOT 5A OF THE AMENDED PLAT OF LOTS 1
AND 2, LEE AND ALPS ADDITION AND OF LOT 9A AND OUTLOT A OF
THE AMENDED PLAT OF LOTS 5A AND 9, PROSPECT VILLAGE
SUBDIVISION, LOCATED IN THE NE 1/4 OF THE SW 1/4 OF SECTION 25,
TOWNSHIP 5 NORTH, RANGE 73 WEST OF THE 6th P.M . TOWN OF ESTES
PARK, LARIMER COUNTY, COLORADO
The proposed project is to build a bumper boat pond at Fun Trax, the site of existing outdoor
recreation facilities including two miniature golf courses and a go-cart track. The property is owned
by Slides, Inc. of Estes Park. The total impervious coverage will be 78,838 s.£ or 54.5% of total lot
area if all the area of the boat pond, buildings, track, sidewalks, parking lots, and all holes and
features of the golf course which lie on Lot 5A are considered impervious.
The property is zoned CO, commercial, as are all adjacent properties.
A special review on this property was approved in 1997, to allow the addition of the miniature golf
courses to the go-carts on the site, so outdoor recreational use has been well established.
Construction of the pond will take place as soon as possible with an ideal completion time around
Memorial Day.
The pond area is out of the flood plain and wetlands. Storm drainage around and under the pond
will be directed to the existing storm water system currently in place. When the pond is drained, the
water will be used as irrigation on the surrounding lawn areas. For obvious reasons, ISO
calculations are not being included in this submittal.
Existing electric facilities are believed to be adequate to run the small pumps for the filtration
system and fountains. The owner, Lon Kinnie,believes that existing parking will continue to be
adequate (see his enclosed letter). Water department requirements will be met as noted on the plan.
