STATEMENT OF INTENT
PINK CANOPY RESTAURANT
July 29, 1991
In accordance with Section 17.36.030 Special Review Procedures of the Town of
Estes Park Zoning Regulations, a Special Review applicant must develop a
written statement of design or use intent. As the Pink Canopy is roposing
outside seating, Thorp Associates, P.C., Architects and Planners and Estes Park
Surveyors will show through this Letter of Intent, that the proposal's benefits to
the Town will far outweigh any adverse affects.
Item #1 of Section 17.36.030F questions the suitability of the proposed location
for this use, taking into consideration the nearby land uses and whether they
would be supported or damaged by the proposed use. This item questions also
the adequacy of street, water, sewer, anddrainagefacilities serving the location,
the environmental characteristics of the site and the consequences of the
development for public safety and the natural environment. First of all, the site,
which overlooks the proposed future rejuvenated Town park, and is between a
bank and a retail business, is separated from residential areas by an alley and a
large elevation differential, is certainly suitable for a new restaurant location
with outside seating overlooking the new park and the present terraced garden
area in front of the bank. As the property is in downtown Estes Park, the
adequacy of streets, water, and drainage facilities are easyto document. It is the
understanding of the applicant that some upgrading oftheexisting sewer line
may be necessary to accomplish the remodeling. As the sewer lines are
potentially original with the building, an upgrade of this sort would be an
advantage to both the Town and the provider of sewage services.
The environmental characteristics of this site and related areas are largely
commercial and will be upgraded by this development, including the installation
of handicapped and safer access, as well as upgrades in the landscaping around
the existing structure.
Item #2 Of Section 17.36.030F in the Town's Zoning Regulations requests a
building and site design where visual, noise or other intrusions into adjacent
premises will maintain the established character of the vicinity. The question of
avoiding unnecessary damage to the natural environment through adaptations
to the particularities of the site also needs to be addressed. On this item the
existing building and its addition is not in the view corridor of any buildings in
the area and the use of the restaurant will create no additional noise or other
intrusions upon adjacent properties. The established character of the vicinity
will be maintained, as the addition will be designed to continue the existing
structural character now in place. Revisions to the site design will help maintain
the natural environment, and avoid any damage due to drainage on the site.
Also, additional landscaping of the property will enhance its natural character,
making the outside dining area a pleasant, natural experience.
Item #3 of Section 17.36.030F requests a consideration of the social, economic or
community needs which are served by the proposal. The applicants of the new
Pink Canopy location are longtime supporters of the "year -around" economy of
the community. Relocating the restaurant to this site and providing
handicapped access and fewer steps than their present location, means a safer
restaurant service will be provided to the community throughout the year,
providing economic and social benefit to the area.
Item #4 of Section 17.36.030F questions consistency with District objectives which
include the furtherance of public health, safety and general welfare, in
compliance with the Town's Comprehensive Plan. The Pink Canopy project will
not create additional public health hazards, but will actually increase public
safety in the area as it provides handicapped access to the site. It addresses other
public concerns, such as drainage, site utilities, and additional landscaping.
The Comprehensive Plan presently shows this area as commercial usage, which
is in compliance with its use as a restaurant facility.
Item #5 of Section 17.36.030F questions the suitability of this specific proposal
relative the historic resources involved. First of all, the existing building, which
is an historic structure in downtown, is planned to be maintained with its entire
exterior character in tact. Furthermore, the addition to the facility will recreate
the general character of the existing building, to maintain the historical
significance on the site.
We hope that the above information is helpful in the consideration of allowing
the Pink Canopy Restaurant usage on this site.

Special Review 91-5, Pink Canopy Restaurant
Amendment to Development Plan
225 Park Lane
APPLICANT: Minno Riz & Claire Ray
The Planning Commission and Board of Trustees approved Special
Review 91-5 and Development Plan on August 20, 1991 and August 17,
1991, respectively.
AMENDMENT
Further investigation by the applicant has led to the conclusion,
that it is more economical to remove the existing structure and
construct a new building.
Major site changes include:
1. The pedestrian access to the property from the sidewalk is
moved to the western property line.
2. Three large evergreen trees in front of the building will be
removed as a result of moving the existing structure.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Due to removal of the three large trees and alteration of the
retaining wall (new stairway and closure of existing stairway), the
following should be incorporated in the amended development plan:
1. The existing retaining wall be removed and replaced to the
north (approximately 3 1/2 feet) to allow for an 8 ft. wide
sidewalk. This will continue sidewalk transition from the
First National Bank property.
2. Due to the loss of the three mature trees, this area be re -
landscaped.

RE: LETTER OF INTENT
Further to the final building inspection today, please find below
areas that we intend to complete in the immediate months ahead:
REAR ENTRANCE
BLACK TOP:
FRONT ENTRANCE
LANDSCAPING :
PARK LANE &
MACGREGOR AVE
STREET PATCH:
As soon as the mud and gravel fill have settled
and as soon as weather permits we plan to black
top our rear entrance. Expected date of completion
will be June 30th, 1992 or before by Coulsons.
Landscaping for the front entrance is now in
final planning. Mike Atkins will be completing
first stages of landscaping within the next two
weeks and as weather permits.
The cold patch on street pavements placed due
to the sewer trench will be replaced with hot
patch. At the same time any cracks on the pavement
caused by the digging of the trench will be
repaired accordingly. Weather permitting the
same will be completed by June 30, 1992 by Bill
Fairbanks.
Trust this will cover areas of question.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gary Klaphake, Town Administrator
FROM: Steve Stamey, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Pink Canopy
On Monday evening I visited with Roger Thorp and Frank Hix
regarding the Pink Canopy Restaurant. Mr. Thorp advised me of the
following:
a Minna Riz had some questions on cost of the sidewalk/retaining
wall.
o However, Thorp said the 8 ft. sidewalk was not a problem and
that a dry laid stone retaining wall wouldn't be too
expensive. They are proposing to do both.
o Thorp did not indicate any opposition or alternate proposal.
Frank Hix advised me of the following:
o He is concerned that Minno might tell him if he has to rebuild
the wall and sidewalk, that they will just take the building
down and not let Hix move it.
o That perhaps EPURA should rebuild the sidewalk.
o The trees are in poor condition.
BACKGROUND:
a In the C-D District, an 8 ft. setback is required for sidewalk
purposes.

o This was not raised in the original submittal because the
proposal was to remodel the existing building and did not
involve many site changes. Also, the three trees would have
been removed with an 8 ft. sidewalk. It made sense to work
with existing conditions.
o If the original proposal had been to demolish the existing
building, I believe the 8 ft. sidewalk would have been
requested.

SUBJECT: Pink Canopy Restaurant
I have the following comments:
BL:ck
• The Water Department should perform a fixture audit prior to demolition.
517
• Since the building is being demolished and a retaining wall is proposed along the
north building line, the parking area should be raised with fill material so that the
parking stall slope is less steep.
• If the building area has been increased, then the Drainage Report should be
revised.
• The bank building adjacent to the site has been required to install an eight -foot
sidewalk. The developer should install an eight -foot sidewalk to match the
existing sidewalk to the east. A sidewalk and retaining wall detail should be
added to the Development Plan.

RE: Amended Development Plan - Pink Canopy Restaurant
Dear Mr. Stamey:
As stated in the letter of intent for the initial Development
Plan for the above -mentioned project, Minno Riz and A. Claire
Ray are proposing essentially the same restaurant with an
outdoor eating area.
The owners have come to the decision that the economics of this
project is more feasible if the old structure is removed and a
new building is constructed. The attached Amended Development
Plan addresses this proposed change.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
