Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Paul Hornbeck, Senior Planner
Department: Community Development
Date: July 28, 2026
Subject: Resolution 87-26 Fall River Village II Combined Preliminary/Final Planned
Unit Development Plan, Estes Park Housing Authority, Owner/Applicant
Type: Public Hearing, Land Use, Quasi-Judicial
Objective:
Conduct a public hearing to consider an application for a combined Preliminary/Final
Planned Unit Development Plan and approve or deny the application.
Present Situation:
Fall River Village consists of two separate lots that include a total 88 units and an event
facility previously approved as part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) with an
underlying zoning of Commercial Outlying (CO). A PUD is a zoning overlay that allows
flexibility to certain development standards. The upper, northern lot is the subject of this
application and contains 24 units and the event facility. The development was used for
short-term overnight accommodations and events until its sale in 2024 to the Estes Park
Housing Authority (EPHA). EPHA subsequently began leasing units to members of the
workforce, with longer term plans to subdivide the property to allow the sale of some
units in order to facilitate below-market rental rates for other units. Other plans for the
property include establishing a daycare, converting portions of the event facility to an
office for EPHA and storage areas for residents and EPHA, and continued use of the
remaining portion of event facility for events.
As a property less than 5 acres in size, the project is eligible to be reviewed as a
combined Preliminary/Final PUD in accordance with Estes Park Development Code
EPDC) Section 3.4. The code states such applications “shall be considered a Final
PUD Plan and shall follow the standard development approval process set forth
in Section 3.2…” EPDC Section 3.2 requires the Planning Commission to review the
application and make a recommendation to the Town Board, who is the final decision-
making body.
Staff’s interpretation is that Ordinance 11-25, which requires applications for PUDs to
include written approval of two-thirds (2/3) of property owners within 500 feet of the
subject parcel, is not applicable to this application due to state statutes and the timing of
Subject of Application
the application submittal. EPHA submitted the application for this PUD prior to the
voters’ approval of Ordinance 11-25. Colorado Revised Statutes Section 24-68-102.5(1)
provides that "an application for approval of a site-specific development plan as well as
the approval, conditional approval, or denial of approval of the plan shall be governed
only by the duly adopted laws and regulations in effect at the time the application is
submitted to a local government” (emphasis added). Development Code Section
3.10(B)(1) includes a final PUD as a site-specific development plan.1 The subject
application qualifies for a combined preliminary/final PUD, which Development Code
Section 3.4(C)(4) states "shall be considered a Final PUD Plan." Because Ordinance
11-25 does not specifically address final PUD plan applications submitted before its
enactment, and because the interaction between state statutes and the development
code does specifically entitle applicants for PUD plans to the code governing PUDs at
the time of application, staff’s interpretation is that Ordinance 11-25 does not apply to
this particular application.
Proposal:
The 24 existing units and event facility are located on a single 3.8-acre lot that is
proposed to be subdivided into 14 townhome lots, one 8-plex lot, one duplex lot (2
units), and one lot for the event facility/office. The subdivision is a separate application
and agenda item from this application to amend the existing PUD. Most of the desired
uses are currently permitted by the PUD as it allows multi-family and two-family
residential dwellings, government offices, and daycare. The PUD amendment is
necessary to address non-conforming situations that would result from the subdivision
and make minor changes to allowed uses. The PUD seeks approval of the following:
1. Lot Size. The existing PUD states the property’s Commercial Outlying zoning
shall be treated as Accommodations (A) zoning. The minimum lot size in the A
zone is 40,000 square feet; however, all proposed lots are less than 40,000
square feet. EPDC Section 10.5.H.7 allows the decision maker (Town Board) to
approve townhome lots which are smaller than the zone district minimum, which
is requested with this application. However, Lot 1 (8-plex), Lot 12 (office and
1 A rezoning, on the other hand, is not listed as a type of site-specific development plan.
event facility), and Lot 17 (duplex) do not qualify as townhomes and therefore do
not comply with the minimum lot size. As such, the PUD application seeks a
waiver to minimum lot size for these lots.
2. Building Envelopes. EPDC Section 10.5.H.7.d requires building envelopes be
included on townhome subdivision plats. Since this project is already
constructed, the applicant requests a waiver to this requirement. Building permit
review will ensure any future construction complies with relevant standards that
building envelopes help govern, such as setbacks and maximum lot coverage.
3. Setbacks. Townhome projects are not required to comply with building setbacks
for properties internal to the project per EPDC Section 10.5.H.7.d. However, lots
1, 12, and 17 would be subject to a 15-foot setback requirement since they do
not qualify as townhomes. The PUD requests a wavier to allow a setback of zero
feet on these lots, although lots 1 and 12 would have setbacks of 1 to 2 feet and
Lot 17 would have a setback of approximately 7 feet from the outlot/common
parking area. Setbacks to areas outside the development remain compliant with
required minimums.
4. Parking. Minimum parking requirements are met for the residential units,
daycare, and office; however, the application seeks to address the location of
parking and parking requirements for the event facility. The site currently has 82
parking spaces but two are planned to be converted to other uses to serve a
proposed daycare.
In accordance with EPDC Section 7.11.D, 49 parking spaces for the residential
and daycare uses and 11 spaces for the office are required and are provided.
EPDC requires a parking study to determine the appropriate parking needed to
serve event facilities. The parking study prepared by the applicant (Attachment
4), recommends a parking ratio of one space per three event attendees. There
is no industry standard parking ratio for event facilities; however, one parking
space per two to four attendees is often used.
Based on the use and size of the building, the Building Code allows a maximum
occupancy of 135 people, which would require 45 parking spaces using the 1:3
ratio. The existing PUD was approved with 29 spaces dedicated to the event
facility. The current proposal would have 20 dedicated spaces which would
increase to 31 spaces when the office is not in use (i.e. evenings and weekends).
Therefore, there is a deficit of 14-25 parking stalls when applying the 1:3 ratio. To
address this, the PUD includes occupant limitations of 59 people during office
hours and 97 people non-office hours, which generally corresponds with the
available parking using the 1:3 ratio. Staff recommends a condition of approval
that parking shall be managed by the owner’s association to ensure parking is
provided in accordance with the approved PUD in a safe manner that does not
block emergency access and shall include enforcement of event facility
occupancy limits as necessary.
EPDC Section 7.11.F states all required off-street parking spaces shall be
located on the same lot or parcel they serve. With the subdivision, parking for
Lots 1, 12, and 17 will be provided in the adjacent outlot/ common parking area
rather than on individual lots. As provided for in EPDC Section 7.11.G.3, staff has
approved the proposed parking as an alternative to providing off-street parking
spaces on site, finding the applicant has demonstrated the proposed plan will
protect surrounding neighborhoods, maintain traffic circulation patterns and
promote quality urban design to at least the same extent as would strict
compliance with otherwise applicable off-street parking standards.
5. Loading. EPDC Section 7.11 requires off-street loading for business and
professional offices, warehousing and storage, and daycare. The applicant
requests a waiver to these requirements due to the size and needs of the
building/uses not warranting any large trucks servicing the property. Application
materials indicate typical delivery vans will likely be the only vehicles to service
the property and they can utilize a parking space for the short duration they will
be on-site.
6. Sidewalks. A sidewalk runs through the property along Sunny Acres Court, with
stairs leading from the upper property to the lower property. The PUD application
requested approval of a waiver to sidewalks along Far View Drive. However,
Public Works has determined sidewalks are not required in this case and as
such, the waiver is unnecessary.
7. Uses. “Government office” is an allowed use under the current PUD but the
applicant requests “office” also be an allowed use. The applicant also requests
warehousing and storage – limited” be allowed on Lot 12 to accommodate
storage for residents and occupants of the office. The A zone district requires a
Special Review for event facilities. Since the facility was previously approved, the
PUD clarifies it is an allowed use and does not require Special Review.
Advantages:
The application complies with the relevant standards and criteria set forth below and
with other applicable provisions of the Code. EPDC. In accordance with EPDC Section
3.4.D “Standards for Review”, all PUD applications shall demonstrate compliance with
the requirements and review standards set forth below and in Chapter 9, Planned Unit
Development:
1. The PUD shall be consistent with and implement the planning goals,
policies and objectives as contained in this Code and in the
Comprehensive Plan;
Staff comment: The PUD amendment implements the goals and policies of the
Code and Comprehensive Plan by supporting workforce housing. The PUD
would allow subdivision of the property to enable the sale of individual units,
which EPHA indicates is necessary to provide below market rental rates on the
workforce housing units.
2. Adverse impacts on adjacent properties, including but not limited to traffic,
noise and visual impacts, shall be mitigated to the maximum extent
feasible;
Staff comment: There are no adverse impacts on adjacent properties anticipated
with the PUD amendment, and overall parking demand from events will likely be
lower than under the previous use for weddings. However, a shared parking lot
may create challenges if events incur higher parking demand than anticipated. If
this becomes an issue, the HOA and/or management company would likely need
address through reserved parking areas, parking permits, and/or enforcement. If
vehicles are parked obstructing fire lanes, the Town and/or Fire District may need
be involved in enforcement.
3. The PUD shall be integrated with adjacent development through street
connections, sidewalks, trails and similar features;
Staff comment: The existing development is integrated with street and sidewalk
connections and no new street or sidewalk connections are proposed.
4. Except as provided in Chapter 9 below, all district, development and
subdivision standards set forth in Chapters 4 (Zoning Districts), 7 (General
Development Standards) and 10 (Subdivision Standards) shall be met; and
Staff comment: Except for the waivers requested herein, all district, development
and subdivision standards are met.
5. As allowed in Chapter 9 below, certain standards may be modified or varied
upon a finding that the proposed PUD incorporates creative site design
such that it represents an improvement in quality over what could have
been accomplished through strict application of the otherwise applicable
district or development standards, including but not limited to
improvements in open space provision and access; environmental
protection; tree/vegetation preservation; efficient provision of streets,
roads and other utilities and services; or choice of living and housing
environments.
Staff comment: As discussed herein, the applicant has requested certain
standards be modified or varied. Should Town Board wish to approve the PUD,
the enclosed Ordinance includes a finding that the PUD incorporates creative site
design such that it represents an improvement in quality over what could have
been accomplished through strict application of the otherwise applicable district
or development standards.
6. The PUD shall provide public benefits that are advantageous to the
surrounding neighborhood or the public in general to a greater extent than
could have been accomplished through strict application of the otherwise
applicable district or development standards.
Staff comment: The PUD amendment provides a community benefit of
supporting the provision of workforce housing.
Disadvantages:
Since the application complies with relevant review criteria, no disadvantages have
been identified.
Action Recommended:
At their May 19, 2026 meeting Planning Commission forwarded to Town Board a
recommendation to approve the combined Preliminary/Final PUD Plan, subject to the
following findings and conditions of approval:

Subdivision & PUD Statement of Intent
Fall River Village
200 Filbey Ct Estes Park CO 80517
6/30/25
4.Statement of Intent. All applications for a preliminary subdivision plan and nal plat
shall include a written Statement of Intent explaining how the proposed subdivision meets
the applicable standards for review as set forth in Chapter 10 and Chapter 7 of this Code.
Ord. 18-01 #26)
The intent of subdividing this property is to enable sales of the high value 3 and 4
bedroom townhome units to facilitate below market rental rates for the workforce of Estes
Park. While this subdivision is only for the upper parcel of Fall River Village, it impacts both
the upper and the lower parcel. Currently, the project has too large of a debt payment to be
self-sufficient with the rental rates that we have agreed to charge. In order for the property
to operate in a sustainable manner, which will enable long term below market rate rents for
the Estes Park Workforce, the sales proceeds from the sales of the townhomes will be used
to pay down the debt across the project, thereby reducing the ongoing debt payment.
Once this plan is executed, the project is projected to turn a small operating prot which
will enable long term below market rate rents for the Estes Park Workforce. The risk of not
being able to execute this plan will result in a sale of the property or a foreclosure from the
bank. Either of these outcomes will strip away any affordability and workforce restrictions
that EPHA plans to implement.
There is no planned construction taking place as part of this subdivision and
amended PUD.

from hospitality to workforce housing which is a key part of the Estes Valley
Comprehensive plan
B. “Ensure an adequate and efficient street system” – No additional units are being
created, so there are no changes to the street system required
C. “Achieve individual property lots of reasonable utility and livability” – The project
accomplishes this in the way the lots are platted
D. “Secure adequate provisions for water supply, electric service, drainage, sewers
and other facilities and services for the health and safety of the residents of the
Estes Valley” -- As noted to the response in section 7.12, these facilities and
services have adequate provisions
E. “Protect sensitive environmental areas and mitigate the impact of development in
hazard areas” -- As noted in the response in section 7.7, this parcel does not have
sensitive environmental impacts nor hazard areas
F. “Ensure adequate provision of open areas” -– No new construction is occurring,
therefore we are ensuring adequate provision of open areas
10.2 Applicability/Scope
A. General – We acknowledge these provisions
B. Minor Subdivisions and Minor Adjustments: The property does not meet the
requirements for Minor Subdivisions or Minor Adjustments.
10.3 Review Procedures
A. We acknowledge that all subdivisions shall be reviewed in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Chapter 3 of the cod
B. We acknowledge that or purposes of staff and EVPC review, corners of all lots in a
proposed preliminary subdivision plat shall be staked in the eld. In addition, during the
preapplication conference, Staff may require the Applicant to identify natural or other site
features in the eld.
10.4 Lots
A. Lot Dimensions and Conguration:
1.Each of our lots have the size, width, depth, shape, and orientation that is
appropriate for the location of the subdivision, and for the type of development and
use contemplated.
2. Each townhome lot complies with the standards set forth in the
development code. Lot 1, 12, and 18 are not townhome lots. These lots are
14,300+/- sf, 8,600 +/- sf, and 12,300 +/- sf respectively. These lots are addressed in
our amended PUD
3. Conrmed
4. Conrmed
B. Access: Conrmed

F. Conrmed
10.5 Subdivision Design Standards
A. The project complies with the general subdivision standards
B. The project is in compliance with zoning requirements and all updated uses are
address in the amended PUD
C. We are not altering any of the internal or external streets. However we are
planning to put small traffic calming measures on the internal road that connects the lower
parcel of Fall River with the subject parcel.
D. Sidewalks, Pedestrian Connections and Trails
1-3: The project has a sufficient sidewalk and trail network. In addition to
typical sidewalks, there are 2 staircases that enable direct access to the lower parcel, as
well as outlot B and has strong walkability to the Town Center including parks, schools,
adjacent developments, and existing and proposed hike and bike trails
E. Utility Standards

7. Acknowledged, please see response to 7.12.E for additional details
8. Acknowledged and discussions with the Fire Dept have taken place to
conrm that this project will adhere to the Fire Safety Standards.
F. Private Open Areas and Trails: In addition to typical sidewalks, there are 2
staircases that enable direct access to the lower parcel, as well as outlot B and has strong
walkability to the Town Center including parks, schools, adjacent developments, and
existing and proposed hike and bike trails
G. Vegetation Protection: We are not planning any new construction on this
property, therefore all existing vegetation will remain.
H. 1-6 This section is applicable to this project as certain lots will be townhome lots
7. The townhome lots in this project are allowed with the applied zoning on
the PUD. The project is creating additional outlots for common areas that shall be owned
and maintained by the homeowners association. The townhome project complies with the
minimum lot size, and the setbacks and lot coverage are of appropriate standards.
I. We understand the monument requirements
J. There will not be any new construction taking place so this section is N/A. The
town has as builts when the property was previously developed
K. We do not expect any public improvement requirements as we are not building on
this property.
PUD Statement of Intent
5. A written statement of how the PUD Plan meets the standards for review, as set forth
in §3.4 of this Code.
9.1 - Purposes
This project ts the purposes of a PUD outlined in the Estes Park Development code. We
are amending this PUD to ensure that the (A) growing demands of the population may be
met, (B) Creating a more efficient use of land and public services so that the resulting
economies may inure to the benet of those who need homes, and (C) this PUD is well
located, preserves the land with no new construction, and provides development of a
mixed-use commercial and residential development and promote developments with a mix
of commercial and residential uses including attainable, workforce, and employee
housing.
9.2 Eligibility
The PUD in this district has already been created and contains the underlying CO district.
The PUD is eligible based upon both size and building count as the site is more than 2 acres
and has more than 5 units.
9.3 PUD Standards
A)
1) The PUD is proposing the following uses
Townhome ownership with the potential to STR
Free storage for workforce housing tenants
Office Space
Daycare
Event Space
2) The PUD largely ts the number of units allowed and density requirements of this
PUD. The project meets the density calculations for residential and
accommodation development. The one exception is the multifamily lot, which has
requested an increase in density.
3) Setbacks and lot coverage – We are not making any adjustments to the setbacks
from lot lines abutting a property outside the PUD. Setbacks and lot coverages are
compatible with the surrounding area.
4) Building height is not applicable as we are not building any new units
5) The PUD meets off street parking and loading standards
6) This project is part of the Fall River Village P.U.D which already dedicated open
space and with a trail. The area that was set aside for open space in the original Fall
River Village PUD consists of Outlot B (along the river), and the multiple seating
areas, a trail, a pool and hot tubs located throughout the lower Fall River Village
property. With this PUD we are trying to protect the rock outcroppings on the
southwest portion of the lot, the steep cliffs along the southeast portion of the lot
and are providing two sidewalk/staircases through this development that will
provide a safe walking route to and from lower Fall River Village.
7) See responses to the code items related to Section 10 listed above
B) The amended PUD will create uses that have greater compatibility with the surrounding
area than the current use. By repurposing the main space of Skyview, it will no longer be
able to operate as a large wedding venue and the hours of operation will be reduced. This
will be a benet to neighbors as well as residents of Fall River Village as they will not be
subjected to loud music late in the evening. The new use of an office space is compatible
with the surrounding uses, and a day care facility will enhance the livability of the
surrounding neighborhood as it provides a local childcare option for nearby families.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO FALL RIVER VILLAGE II PUD, COUNTY OF LARIMER,
STATE OF COLORADO
Dated February 15th, 2026
Revised July 10th, 2026
The AMENDED FALL RIVER VILLAGE II PUD, COUNTY OF LARIMER, STATE
OF COLORADO which was approved by Estes Park Board of Trustees on March 27, 2018 and
recorded in the Larimer County records on June 15, 2018, at Reception # 20180036169 is
amended as outlined herein and shall be known as the SECOND AMENDMENT TO FALL
RIVER VILLAGE II PUD.
The following changes are approved with this Second Amendment:
Permitted Uses shall be subject to the Estes Park Development Code A Zone district
standards, except that the following use modifications shall be permitted in addition by
the PUD process: “Government Offices”, “Offices”, “Warehousing and Storage –
Limited” and “Event Facility” shall be permitted on Lot 12. “Daycare Center” and
Family Home Day Care, Large” shall be permitted on Lot 17. Lot 17 will be a duplex
building use. These uses shall be permitted by-right subject to Community Development
Department administrative review of applicable standards.
Total Off Street Parking Spaces:
Total Spaces Required (See Exhibit A) = 80 Spaces
Off Street Parking Spaces Provided
On Site = 52 Spaces
Garage Spaces Provided = 16 Spaces
In Front Of Garages (None In Front Of 273) = 14 Spaces
Note: Garage Spaces For Daycare Will Not Be Available If The Daycare Is Used Since
the Daycare Will Use The Garage As Storage = (-2) Spaces
Total Spaces Provided = 80 Spaces
Handicap Spaces Required = 4 Total (1 Van)
Handicap Spaces Provided Outdoor = 3 Total (2 Van)
All Single Car Garage Spaces (10) Would Be Handicap Accessible
1.See Exhibit A for a breakout of the parking calculations.
2.For the purpose of off-street parking numbers, the Event Facility is using 1 parking
space per 3 people. This is consistent with “All Other Outdoor Entertainment
Establishments”, “Indoor Theatre Entertainment Establishments” and is more than
All other Indoor Entertainment Establishments” would require for this facility.
Additionally, this is what was agreed upon and used in the original 2017 PUD.
3.The Event Facility on Lot 12 will be used during office hours for functions related to
the office such as breakfast gatherings, lunch conferences, educational programming,
meetings, etc… To meet the parking requirements, during office hours the maximum
Attachment 4
Page 2 of 5
capacity for an event will be 59 people. During non-office hours, the Event Facility
will be available for other functions, at which point the office use parking will not be
necessary. During the non-office hours, the Event Facility will have a maximum
capacity of 97 people. Hours of operation for the Event Facility shall be from 7AM-
10PM. No event may be hosted by a guest of a short term rental license.
4. Parking requirements for the “Daycare Center” or “Family Home Day Care, Large”
are greater than what would be required if the unit is a residential unit. The parking
spaces required for the daycare are for a maximum of 15 students (1 space /6 students
2.5 parking spaces) and when it is a daycare, the garage will be used for storage,
therefore 2 spaces would be subtracted from the overall spaces provided. In addition,
two spaces will be provided for drop-off and pick-up and will be signed as such for
Daycare Parking Only from 7am-6pm. The two spaces on the far east of the property
will be designated for the daycare parking. They will be extra spaces for
evening/weekend parking. In the event that the daycare is not in use, then the two
parking spaces at the east end of the project will be available for “Event Facility”
parking. At a rate of 3 people per vehicle at the event center, that will allow 6 extra
guests for a total of 65 people during office hours and 103 during non-office hours.
5. Storage containers are currently located in two parking spots on the east side of the
project and will be allowed to remain for 18 months. During the use of these two
spots for storage, the “Event Facility” maximum use will be reduced by 6 people to
53 people during office hours and 91 people during non-office hours (assuming the
daycare is in operation) until the storage containers are removed. At the time of
removal, the “Event Facility” will be allowed 59 people during office hours and 97
people during non-office hours (assuming the daycare is in operation).
NEW WAIVERS TO BE REQUESTED:
1. This property will go through the Townhome Subdivision process in conjunction with
this Second Amended PUD. The PUD requests that this Townhome Subdivision
allow Lot 1 to contain up to 8 “Multi-Family Dwellings”, Lot 12 contain the right to
Offices”, “Government Offices”, “Warehousing and Storage – Limited” and “Event
Facility”, and Lot 17 contain the right to “Two Family Dwelling”, “Daycare Center”
and/or “Family Home Day Care, Large”.
2. Lot 1, Lot 12 and Lot 17 will not be a Townhome Lot, therefore request they shall be
allowed to be smaller lot sizes than code requires for a CO zone lots (15,000 sf) and A
zone lots (40,000 sf). The lot sizes will be 14,300+/- sf, 9227+/- sf, and 15,460+/-sf
respectively.
3. “Warehousing and Storage – Limited” in the lower level of Lot 12’s building will be
allowed to residents and businesses of Fall River Village Townhomes and Lot 8, Fall
Page 3 of 5
River Village Final P.U.D. on an availability basis as regulated by the owners of Lot
12.
4. Lots 1, 12 and 17 do not meet setbacks since they are not Townhome Lots. A waiver
is requested that they have 0’ internal setbacks, similar to the Townhome Lots.
Exterior setbacks shall remain as shown on the original PUD.
5. Parking spaces for many of the lots are not on the lot themselves. A waiver is
requested to provide parking spaces on-site, but not on the individual lots. Spaces not
in a garage or in front of a garage are not assigned to any particular units and are
available on a first come-first serve basis. The overall site meets the required parking
counts.
6. Estes Park Development Code Chapter 10.5.H.7.d requires building envelopes for
each lot. A waiver is requested to not show building envelopes. This project is built
out and the existing lot coverage for every lot meets the requirement. In the case of
any building permit application in the future, a site plan will be required that can
address the 80% lot coverage requirement. Building envelopes make it difficult to be
flexible with future building improvements. A building envelope was place don the
west side of Lot 13 to keep any improvements in the Outlot spa area from being too
close to the unit on Lot 13.
7. The PUD requests a waiver to the requirement for a loading space. The “Offices”,
Government Offices”, “Day Care” and “Event Center” require either a Type A
loading space or a parking study to determine if one is needed. The size and needs of
the building/uses do not warrant any large trucks servicing the property. Typical
delivery vans will likely be the only vehicles to service the property and they can
utilize a parking space for the short duration they will be on-site.
Prior waivers for the AMENDED FALL RIVER VILLAGE II PUD are to be kept in
effect except for #5 and #6 below because the uses have changed. #5 has been updated in
7 above. #6 is no longer necessary because the code has changed to allow an accessory
use in an accessory building over 1,000sf and the building is now a primary building on
Lot 12 with “Government Office” or “Office” as the primary use:
1. Minimum curve radii for streets. The internal drives service enough units that they
are treated as streets and must be built to street standards. The minimum centerline
radii is 100'. We have proposed a 50' radii on one section of the internal drive to
enable the units to fit. This will meet the requirements of the fire department and will
also help to slow traffic through the neighborhood.
2. The community hall is requesting a height waiver of 8' from the EPDC. The lot has a
very steep grade and Sunny Acres Ct. was originally built with a lot of fill at the
southern end where this building accesses from. This combination forced the
building to be elvated to meet the grades at the road. Even though the building is not
exceptionally tall, we are still 8' above the height limit. The exceptional grade on this
Page 4 of 5
portion of the property makes it hard to meet the height requirement, even if it were
to be developed as a single family lot as this property was designed to be in the Fall
River Village PUD from 2008.
3. In order to connect the lower property with the upper property, the grade of the drive
along the western side is steeper than code. We designed the grade of the road at
12% which is a request of 3% more than the standard 9% grade allowed in the EPDC.
This connection was made to provide connectivity between the Fall River Village and
Fall River Village II. This provides an emergency route and a secondary access for
both properties and is the only reasonable way to provide the connection.
4. A smaller setback of 10' for the north and east lines of former Lot 5a, Sunny Acres
Addition (the eastern portion of this property) is requested because the buildings
already exist. The rezoning of the lot to CO from RM in 2017 increased the zoning
setbacks from 10' to 25'. This request is being made in order to keep the units from
violating any setbacks with this change in zoning and subsequent combination of Lots
1-7 and Outlot A of the Fall River Village PUD. They were conforming prior to the
rezone and we would like to maintain their conformity.
5. A request to waive a Type "A" loading dock. The site is not conducive to creating a
loading site on the side or behind the building in order to meet 70' setbacks from
sunny acres ct. which is required by the code. The facility is a small building and the
parking spaces are adequate to provide for any catering needs that the building will
utilize. The size and needs of the building do not warrant any large trucks servicing
the property. Typical vans will likely be the only vehicles to service the property and
they can utilize the parking spaces for the short duration they will be on-site.
6. A request for an accessory building to be larger than 1000 sf. This property is
building a community hall that is intended to be the signature piece of the property.
For a commercial property like this, this kind of use is necessary and due to
constraints on the property it is not feasible to connect it to the principal use (the
office). This kind of use is very common throughout the valley as a detached
building. It does not make sense that it has to be attached to the principal use.
7. A request for 6 more units than are allowed on Lot 1, Fall River Village II
Resubdivision. It is requested to have 18 units on this property rather than 12. The
overall density of the upper neighborhood would be in keeping with the overall
density of the existing Fall River Village where the established lower level is of much
higher density. The minor increase in overall density would be consistent with the
town's desire for increased density close to the downtown area.
All other aspects of the Amended Fall River Village II PUD remain in full force and effect,
including waivers and density.

Neighborhood Meeting Minutes
Date: May 8, 2025
Location: SkyView Event Center, Fall River Village
Time: 5:22 PM – 6:25 PM
Facilitator: Scott Moulton, Executive Director, EPHA & Peter Levine, Director of Real Estate
Development, EPHA
Duration: 1 hour 3 minutes
1. Welcome and Introduction
Scott Moulton welcomed attendees, noting the purpose of the meeting: to present
current plans for Fall River Village and gather neighborhood feedback as part of the
subdivision and zoning amendment process required by the Town of Estes Park.
2. Project Overview
Workforce Housing Strategy
EPHA acquired Fall River Village to create 74 units of long-term workforce
housing.
The property consists of two parcels:
Lower Parcel: 65 two-bedroom units, to remain as workforce rentals at below-
market rates.
Upper Parcel: Includes one building with 8 one-bedroom units (to remain
rentals) and 15 higher-end three- and four-bedroom townhomes.
Sale of Market-Rate Townhomes
Attachment 6
EPHA plans to sell up to 13 of the upper townhome units at market rate to
reduce project debt and enable long-term nancial sustainability.
Sales proceeds will reduce debt principal and allow EPHA to maintain affordable
rents.
Use of Remaining Units
One four-bedroom unit may be converted into a child care facility (pending
feasibility).
The SkyView Event Center space will be repurposed for:
EPHA office space (relocating from U.S. Bank building).
A reduced-capacity event space (no weddings or late-night events).
3. Financial Structure
The project was made feasible by:
Proposition 123 funding: $7 million equity investment from the State of Colorado
via CHFA.
Financing terms: 4.8% interest rate, 100% loan-to-value from NBH Bank.
Use of market-rate sales and permitted short-term rental (STR) zoning to
maximize value on sales.
Rent Limits are based on AMI tiers:
60% AMI (1BR units), 70–80% AMI (2BR), 80% AMI (4BR).
Blended AMI for lower parcel must remain under 90% per Prop 123 regulations.
No income restrictions, but rents are AMI-tied. Utilities (except sewer, water,
trash, grounds) are paid by tenants.
4. Child Care Facility (Proposed)
EPHA is exploring conversion of a 4-bedroom unit to a child care facility:
Intended to serve infants/toddlers, potentially accommodating ~10 children.
Working with child care licensing professionals; no provider selected yet.
Outdoor play area, parking, and licensing feasibility still under evaluation.
If infeasible, unit may be sold to further reduce project debt.
5. Property Management and Design
Subdivision Plan:
The project requires replatting to subdivide townhomes into individual lots for
sale.
A PUD amendment will ensure zoning compliance and long-term use
compatibility.
Neighborhood meeting is part of the formal pre-application process.
HOA/CC&Rs:
Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) will govern future property
standards.
A landscape/common area HOA may be layered; EPHA likely to act as manager.
Maintenance:
Asphalt patching already underway.
Siding and exterior maintenance planned.
On-site presence (new EPHA office) will enhance accountability.
6. Parking, Traffic, and Safety
Parking:
Over 80 parking spaces on upper parcel, plus garage parking.
Adjustments may be needed for child care pick-up/drop-off zones.
Traffic Management:
Speeding concerns acknowledged.
EPHA plans to install seasonal speed bumps and additional signage.
No traffic study required as no new development is planned.
7. Leasing and Occupancy
Current leasing Status:
Upper parcel: 100% leased for intended rentals.
Lower parcel: ~35% leased; limited by deferred maintenance and staffing.
Full lease-up expected by end of 2025.
Lease terms:
Mostly 12-month leases; one six-month lease.
Limited short-term lease use planned; seasonal workforce leases possible but
capped.
Occupant Selection:
Waitlist-based application process.
Renters ranked preferred units; placement based on preferences and
availability.
No preferential treatment given; all applicants went through equal screening.
8. Community Questions and Concerns
Short-Term Rentals (STRs):
STRs are allowed under existing zoning and PUD.
EPHA intends to use STR eligibility to maximize sales value.
No intent to allow mass investor buy-up; units will be individually marketed.
Occupancy Enforcement:
State law limits restrictions on occupancy.
EPHA leases include guest limits (10–14 days) and require reporting household
members.
Units are inspected and monitored for lease compliance.
Transparency and Accountability:
Scott Moulton addressed and denied rumors of favoritism, reduced staff rents,
or self-dealing.
All staff and applicants followed standard application process.
Concerns Over Child Care, Noise, Density:
EPHA committed to only pursuing child care use if space meets all licensing and
operational needs.
No increase in density; development is adaptive reuse only.
Event space will have reduced hours and capacity.
9. Town Approval Process
Next Steps:
Submit application to Town of Estes Park to subdivide property and amend PUD.
Application process includes multiple review cycles, Planning Commission
hearing, and nal Board of Trustees approval.
EPHA aims to submit the application by the end of May 2025.
Public Engagement:
All standard noticing requirements will be met or exceeded (mailings, signage).
Community input welcomed throughout the entitlement process.
10. Closing
Scott Moulton thanked attendees.
EPHA staff remained available for follow-up questions.
Meeting adjourned at approximately 6:25 PM.

VIA EMAIL
Mayor and Trustees:
My name is David Shirk, and I live at 301 Far View Drive.
I am here to speak to the Fall River Village PUD. My request is
narrow: require additional landscape buffering along the road
and require exterior lighting to comply with the development
code.
Chapter 13 of the code defines “development” to include a
change in the use of land or a structure. Make no mistake:
this is a change of use. Chapter 4 identifies accommodations
and multifamily residential as separate uses. Both
accommodations and multifamily residential are allowed on the
property, but the use is changing from one code-defined use to
another. The application must therefore comply with
development standards.
Not only is this technically a change of use, the change is also
material. In practice, accommodation uses in Estes Park tend
to be most heavily used during the tourist season, when the
days are longest and exterior lighting is needed for the fewest
hours. Residential use is year-round, including fall and winter,
when it gets dark much earlier and exterior lighting operates
for longer periods. That creates a different operational impact
on nearby properties.
Section 7.10 directly addresses operational compatibility. It
allows the Decision-Making Body to impose conditions on
development to ensure compatibility with existing uses. It
specifically identifies the location, intensity, and hours of
illumination, along with additional landscaping and buffering.
Those are exactly the conditions I am requesting.
Section 7.5 establishes landscaping and buffering standards.
Section 7.5.F.3 specifically provides that “existing land uses
may be required to provide buffering if the use is changed,
expanded, enlarged or in any other way increases the impacts
on adjacent properties.” The photographs I submitted show a
largely untreated roadway edge with very little intentional landscaping.
Public Comment Received 2026-07-24
Section 7.9 requires exterior lighting to be evaluated
during development review and establishes standards
for shielding, cutoff angles, glare, and off-site
illumination.
I ask the Board to condition approval on two things:
first, a revised landscape plan that adds appropriate
screening along the road; and second, documented
compliance with Section 7.9 for all exterior lighting,
with any noncompliant fixtures replaced or modified.
These are limited and reasonable conditions tied
directly to the change of use and the Town’s adopted
standards.
Thank you.

Proposal
Lot Size.
Existing PUD applies Accommodations (A) zoning.
40,000 sq ft minimum lot size
Section 10.5.H.7 allows the decision maker to approve townhome lots which are
smaller than the zone district minimum
Lot 1 (8-plex), Lot 12 (office and event facility), and Lot 17 (duplex) do not qualify
as townhomes
Building Envelopes.
Section 10.5.H.7.d requires building envelopes be included on townhome
subdivision plats. Waiver requested since project already built.
Proposal
Setbacks.
Townhome projects are not required to comply with building setbacks for
properties internal to the project
Lots 1, 12, and 17 would be subject to a 15-foot setback requirement since they do
not qualify as townhomes.
PUD requests a wavier to allow a setback of zero feet, although lots 1 and 12
would have setbacks of 1 to 2 feet and Lot 17 would have a setback of
approximately 7 feet from the outlot/common parking area.
Setbacks to areas outside the development remain compliant with required
minimums.
Proposal
Parking.
Minimum parking requirements are met for the residential units, daycare, and
office
EPDC Section 7.11.D requires 49 parking spaces for the residential and daycare
uses and 11 spaces for the office
EPDC requires a parking study for event facilities. The parking study prepared by
the applicant recommends a parking ratio of one space per three event attendees.
No industry standard parking ratio for event facilities; 2-4 often per vehicle often
used.
Building Code allows a maximum occupancy of 135 people, which would require
45 parking spaces using the 1:3 ratio.
Deficit of 14-25 parking stalls when applying the 1:3 ratio.
PUD includes occupant limitations of 59 people during office hours and 97 people
non-office hours
Proposal
Parking.
Section 7.11.F requires off-street parking space be located on the same lot or
parcel they serve.
With the subdivision, parking for Lots 1, 12, and 17 will be provided in the adjacent
outlot/ common parking area rather than on individual lots.
As provided for in EPDC Section 7.11.G.3, staff has approved the proposed parking
as an alternative to providing off-street parking spaces on site
Loading.
Section 7.11 requires off-street loading for business and professional offices,
warehousing and storage, and daycare.
Waiver requested due to the size and needs of the building/uses not warranting
any large trucks servicing the property.
Proposal
Sidewalks.
Section 10.5.D requires sidewalks be provided along at least one side of any public
or private street.
Waiver requested for sidewalk along Far View Drive and/or the internal access
road connecting
Sidewalk runs through the property along Sunny Acres Court, with stairs leading

Uses.
Government office” is an allowed use under the current PUD
PUD would also include “office” as an allowed use.
Warehousing and storage – limited” would be added to PUD to accommodate
storage for residents and occupants of the office.
Clarify Special Review not required for Event Facility.
Advantages
1.The PUD shall be consistent with and implement the planning goals,
policies and objectives as contained in this Code and in the
Comprehensive Plan;
Staff comment: The PUD amendment implements the goals and policies of
the Code and Comprehensive Plan by supporting workforce housing. The
PUD would allow subdivision of the property to enable the sale of
individual units, which EPHA indicates is necessary to provide below
market rental rates on the workforce housing units.
Advantages
2.Adverse impacts on adjacent properties, including but not limited to
traffic, noise and visual impacts, shall be mitigated to the maximum
extent feasible;
Staff comment: There are no adverse impacts on adjacent properties
anticipated with the PUD amendment. However, a shared parking lot may
create challenges within the project if events incur higher parking demand
than anticipated. If this becomes an issue, the HOA and/or management
company would likely need address through reserved parking areas,
parking permits, and/or enforcement. If vehicles are parked obstructing
fire lanes, the Town and/or Fire District may need be involved in
enforcement.
Advantages
3.The PUD shall be integrated with adjacent development through street
connections, sidewalks, trails and similar features;
Staff comment: The existing development is integrated with street and
sidewalk connections and no new street or sidewalk connections are
proposed.
4.Except as provided in Chapter 9 below, all district, development and
subdivision standards set forth in Chapters 4 (Zoning Districts), 7 (General
Development Standards) and 10 (Subdivision Standards) shall be met; and
Staff comment: Except for the waivers requested herein, all district,
development and subdivision standards are met.
Advantages
5.The PUD shall be integrated with adjacent development through street
connections, sidewalks, trails and similar features;
Staff comment: The existing development is integrated with street and
sidewalk connections and no new street or sidewalk connections are
proposed.
6.Except as provided in Chapter 9 below, all district, development and
subdivision standards set forth in Chapters 4 (Zoning Districts), 7 (General

Received $7M of Prop 123 Equity specific to the lower parcel
Project Background
1.Colorado Housing & Finance Authority (CHFA) was originally
engaged to purchase the property as part of the sale of the
Stanley Hotel to the state
2.CHFA decided not to purchase the property as it falls outside of
their business model
3.EPHA became involved with seller & CHFA regarding a potential
purchase
4.EPHA purchased the property in October 2024 and began
operating as workforce housing in early 2025
Funding Structure

Utilize less of the funding that was pledged to the project
6-E and Regulatory Workforce Short Term Linkage Fee
How to Achieve Property Goals?
At a $35M purchase price, the below market rental rates for our
workforce results in an operational deficit
This was known upon the purchase of the property
The business plan communicated in 3 Town Board presentations in
summer of 2024 and a neighborhood meeting was to sell the high-value
townhome units (14 units) to pay down the debt principal
Subdivision creates flexibility to sell to individual unit owners or in bulk
This amended PUD and subdivision is a key step in preserving as many
workforce housing units at a below market rental rate as possible
Preservation Strategy
Sell ~14 Townhome units to allow paydown of debt principal
This ensures that the property will not require ongoing subsidies
This will Preserve:
Workforce rental units at below market rates at all 65 units on the lower
parcel
Workforce rental units at below market rates for the 8-unit one bedroom
building on upper parcel
Skyview for compatible uses for livability and quality of life for the residents of
the workforce housing
Preserve the “Cliff House” building and explore childcare solutions
This is an older duplex with a 4-bedroom and 1-bedroom unit
Skyview & Cliff House
Cliff House
Exploring options of Childcare facility in partnership with Town
Added language in PUD to allow home based childcare center
Skyview
1st floor of Skyview intended to be used for EPHA office
Added Language in PUD limits capacity of Skyview as event space
Added Language in PUD limits the operating hours of Skyview
Sales Strategy

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Paul Hornbeck, Senior Planner
Department: Community Development
Date: July 28, 2026
Subject: Resolution 88-26 Fall River Village II Preliminary Plat, Estes Park Housing
Authority, Owner/ Applicant
Type: Public Hearing, Land Use, Quasi-Judicial
Objective:
Conduct a public hearing to consider an application for a Preliminary Subdivision Plat
and approve or deny the application.
Present Situation:
The subject property is approximately 3.8 acres in size and contains 24 units and an
event facility. The development was used for short-term overnight accommodations and
events until its sale in 2024 to the Estes Park Housing Authority (EPHA). EPHA
subsequently began leasing units to members of the workforce, with longer-term plans
to subdivide the property to allow the sale of some units in order to facilitate below-
market rental rates for other units. Other plans for the property include establishing a
daycare, converting portions of the event facility to an office for EPHA and storage
areas for residents and EPHA, and continued use of the remaining portion of event
facility for events.
Proposal:
The 24 existing units and event facility are proposed to be subdivided into 14 townhome
lots, one 8-plex lot, one duplex lot, and one lot for the event facility/office. A concurrent
PUD amendment is necessary to address non-conforming situations that would result
from the subdivision and make minor changes to allowed uses.
Per Review Procedures and Standards of the Code, "Subdivisions are approved in two
stages: first, a preliminary subdivision plat is approved, and second, a final subdivision
plat is approved and recorded." Code section 3.2 requires the Planning Commission to
review the preliminary plat and make a recommendation to the Town Board, who is the
final decision-making body. The final plat is reviewed by the Town Board only.
Advantages:
The application complies with the relevant standards and criteria set forth below and
with other applicable provisions of the Code. In accordance with Code section 3.9.E
Standards for Review”, all subdivision applications shall demonstrate compliance with
the standards and criteria set forth in Chapter 10, "Subdivision Standards," and all other
applicable provisions of the Code.
1. Lots. The existing PUD states the property’s Commercial Outlying zoning shall
be treated as Accommodations (A) Zoning. The minimum lot size in the A zone is
40,000 square feet; however, all proposed lots are less than 40,000 square feet.
Estes Park Development Code (EPDC) Section 10.5.H.7 allows the decision
maker to approve townhome lots smaller than required by the zoning district,
which is requested with this application. However, Lot 1 (8-plex), Lot 12 (office
and event facility), and Lot 17 (duplex) do not qualify as townhomes and
therefore do not comply with the minimum lot size. As such, the PUD application
seeks a waiver to minimum lot size for these lots, and if approved, the proposed
lots will be consistent with the PUD.
2. Setbacks. Subdividing the current single lot in multiple lots will result in different
building setbacks. Townhome projects are not required to comply with setbacks
for properties internal to the project per EPDC Section 10.5.H.7.d. However, lots
1, 12, and 17 would be subject to a 15-foot setback requirement since they do
not qualify as townhomes. The PUD requests a wavier to allow a setback of zero
feet, although lots 1 and 12 would have setbacks of 1 to 2 feet and Lot 17 would
have a setback of approximately 7 feet from the outlot/common parking area.
Setbacks to areas outside the development remain compliant with required
minimums.
3. Density. No new units are proposed. As such, the density of the subdivision is
compliant with the existing PUD and the proposed PUD amendment.
4. Relationship to Comprehensive Plan. As an existing development, subdividing
the property should have little to no impact on the character of the area but will
support the housing goals in Comprehensive.
5. Geologic and Wildfire Hazard Areas. The property is outside all mapped
geologic hazard areas but lies partially within a mapped high-tree wildfire hazard
area. As an existing development, no additional wildfire requirements apply at
this time. However, like all of Town, any future remodels or redevelopment over
certain thresholds will be subject to the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code.
6. Utilities and Services. Power and Communications, Estes Valley Fire Protection
District, and Estes Park Sanitation District have reviewed and expressed no
objections to the proposed subdivision.
The Water Division supports the application based on modifications made by the
applicant to address concerns about shared water service lines, which are
typically not allowed due to potential complications with maintenance and billing.
Lots 13 and 14 share a water meter and service line, which runs through Lot 14
to serve Lot 13. To address these concerns, the applicant will install a submeter
to determine water usage of each unit and dedicate easements to ensure
appropriate access for maintenance. The draft covenants, conditions, and
restrictions (Attachment #7) establish these easements and related access
requirements and address installation of the submeter.
7. Orientation of Land Uses. The proposed subdivision will not alter the
orientation of land uses.
8. Improvements. No new public improvements are necessary to serve the
development.
9. Compliance with Zoning Development Standards. The Code requires the
layout of lots, driveways, utilities, drainage facilities be designed in a manner that
minimizes the land disturbance, maximizes the amount of open space in the
development, and preserves existing trees/vegetation and wildlife habitat. Since
no new development is proposed, this section is not applicable.
10. Limits of Disturbance. The Code requires that limits of disturbance (LOD) be
established with the subdivision of land. Since no new development is proposed,
this section is not applicable.
11. Streets. As an existing development, no new street improvements are
warranted.
12. Sidewalks, Pedestrian Connections and Trails. An existing sidewalk runs
through the property along Sunny Acres Court, with stairs leading from the upper
property to the lower property. Public Works has determined no additional
sidewalks or connections are required.
13. Wildlife Habitat Protection. With no new development proposed, wildlife habitat
protection is not applicable.
14. Building Code. Subdividing the property creates different building code
requirements and occupancy classifications compared to how the buildings were
originally constructed. The applicant’s architect has provided a building code
analysis, which concludes various improvements are required make the buildings
conforming with the building code upon the subdivision. The Town’s Building
Division has reviewed the code analysis and agrees with the findings, which
include:
a. Lots 2-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-11, 15-16 lack the required fire separation in the
attics. To become compliant, additional drywall will need to be installed in
the attics.
b. Lots 13-14 lack required fire separation and require installation of a fire
sprinkler system. Additionally, a 6’ wide setback/building envelope in the
outlot directly west of the west property line needs to be platted to provide
emergency egress from Lot 13.
To address these life-safety items staff recommends, and the applicant has
agreed to, a condition of approval that the above items are completed, inspected,
and approved prior to recording of the subdivision plat. EPDC requires the
subdivision plat be recorded within 180 days of Town Board approval.
Disadvantages:
Since the application complies with relevant review criteria, no disadvantages have
been identified.
Action Recommended:
At their May 19, 2026, meeting Planning Commission forwarded to Town Board a
recommendation to approve the preliminary plat, subject to the following findings and
conditions of approval:
Findings:
1. The Planning Commission is the recommending body for the preliminary plat.
2. The Town of Estes Park Board of Trustees is the decision-making body for the
preliminary plat. Town Board approval of a final plat is also necessary to
subdivide the property.
3. Adequate public/private facilities are currently available or will be made available
by the applicant to serve the subject property.
4. This request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff for
consideration and comment with no objections received.
5. The preliminary plat application complies with applicable standards set forth in
the Estes Park Development Code, subject to approval of the corresponding
application to amend the PUD.
Conditions:
1. All recommendations identified in the building code analysis (Attachment #5)
shall be completed, inspected, and accepted by the Town prior to recording of
the final subdivision plat.
Finance/Resource Impact:
The subdivision will have little no impact on Town finances or resources.
Level of Public Interest:
Staff anticipate a moderate level of public interest; however, as of this writing no public
comments have been received on this application. Any comments received will be
posted to http://www.estes.org/currentapplications.
In accordance with the notice requirements in the Code, notice of this hearing was
published in the Estes Park Trail-Gazette, on July 10, 2026. Notice was mailed to all
required adjacent property owners on July 10, 2026. A sign was posted on the property

Subdivision & PUD Statement of Intent
Fall River Village
200 Filbey Ct Estes Park CO 80517
6/30/25
4.Statement of Intent. All applications for a preliminary subdivision plan and nal plat
shall include a written Statement of Intent explaining how the proposed subdivision meets
the applicable standards for review as set forth in Chapter 10 and Chapter 7 of this Code.
Ord. 18-01 #26)
The intent of subdividing this property is to enable sales of the high value 3 and 4
bedroom townhome units to facilitate below market rental rates for the workforce of Estes
Park. While this subdivision is only for the upper parcel of Fall River Village, it impacts both
the upper and the lower parcel. Currently, the project has too large of a debt payment to be
self-sufficient with the rental rates that we have agreed to charge. In order for the property
to operate in a sustainable manner, which will enable long term below market rate rents for
the Estes Park Workforce, the sales proceeds from the sales of the townhomes will be used
to pay down the debt across the project, thereby reducing the ongoing debt payment.
Once this plan is executed, the project is projected to turn a small operating prot which
will enable long term below market rate rents for the Estes Park Workforce. The risk of not
being able to execute this plan will result in a sale of the property or a foreclosure from the
bank. Either of these outcomes will strip away any affordability and workforce restrictions
that EPHA plans to implement.
There is no planned construction taking place as part of this subdivision and
amended PUD.
Chapter 7 Review
7.1 – Slope Protection Standards
A – The project meets the density calculations for residential and accommodation
development. The one exception is the multifamily lot, which has requested an increase in
density.
B-D Not applicable as this is not a new development and we are not planning further
construction
7.2 – Grading and site disturbance standards – Not applicable as this is not a new
development and we are not planning further construction
Attachment 3
7.3 – Tree and Vegetation Protection - Not applicable as this is not a new development
and we are not planning further construction
7.4: Public Trails & Private Open Area
This project is part of the Fall River Village P.U.D which already dedicated open space and
with a trail. The area that was set aside for open space in the original Fall River Village PUD
consists of Outlot B (along the river), and the multiple seating areas, a trail, a pool and hot
tubs located throughout the lower Fall River Village property. With this new PUD we are
trying to protect the rock outcroppings on the southwest portion of the lot, the steep cliffs
along the southeast portion of the lot and are providing two sidewalk/staircases through
this development that will provide a safe walking route to and from lower Fall River Village.

Chapter 10 Review
10.1 - PURPOSES
The purposes of this Chapter are to:
A. “Provide for the orderly growth and harmonious development of the Estes Valley
in accordance with the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan” -- This project ts this
requirement as there is no additional units being constructed, and it is a conversion
from hospitality to workforce housing which is a key part of the Estes Valley
Comprehensive plan
B. “Ensure an adequate and efficient street system” – No additional units are being
created, so there are no changes to the street system required
C. “Achieve individual property lots of reasonable utility and livability” – The project
accomplishes this in the way the lots are platted
D. “Secure adequate provisions for water supply, electric service, drainage, sewers
and other facilities and services for the health and safety of the residents of the
Estes Valley” -- As noted to the response in section 7.12, these facilities and
services have adequate provisions
E. “Protect sensitive environmental areas and mitigate the impact of development in
hazard areas” -- As noted in the response in section 7.7, this parcel does not have
sensitive environmental impacts nor hazard areas
F. “Ensure adequate provision of open areas” -– No new construction is occurring,
therefore we are ensuring adequate provision of open areas
10.2 Applicability/Scope
A. General – We acknowledge these provisions
B. Minor Subdivisions and Minor Adjustments: The property does not meet the
requirements for Minor Subdivisions or Minor Adjustments.
10.3 Review Procedures

staircases that enable direct access to the lower parcel, as well as outlot B and has strong
walkability to the Town Center including parks, schools, adjacent developments, and
existing and proposed hike and bike trails
G. Vegetation Protection: We are not planning any new construction on this
property, therefore all existing vegetation will remain.
H. 1-6 This section is applicable to this project as certain lots will be townhome lots
7. The townhome lots in this project are allowed with the applied zoning on
the PUD. The project is creating additional outlots for common areas that shall be owned
and maintained by the homeowners association. The townhome project complies with the
minimum lot size, and the setbacks and lot coverage are of appropriate standards.
I. We understand the monument requirements
J. There will not be any new construction taking place so this section is N/A. The
town has as builts when the property was previously developed
K. We do not expect any public improvement requirements as we are not building on

PUD Statement of Intent
5. A written statement of how the PUD Plan meets the standards for review, as set forth
in §3.4 of this Code.
9.1 - Purposes
This project ts the purposes of a PUD outlined in the Estes Park Development code. We
are amending this PUD to ensure that the (A) growing demands of the population may be
met, (B) Creating a more efficient use of land and public services so that the resulting
economies may inure to the benet of those who need homes, and (C) this PUD is well
located, preserves the land with no new construction, and provides development of a
mixed-use commercial and residential development and promote developments with a mix
of commercial and residential uses including attainable, workforce, and employee
housing.
9.2 Eligibility
The PUD in this district has already been created and contains the underlying CO district.
The PUD is eligible based upon both size and building count as the site is more than 2 acres
and has more than 5 units.
9.3 PUD Standards
A)
1) The PUD is proposing the following uses
Townhome ownership with the potential to STR
Free storage for workforce housing tenants
Office Space
Daycare
Event Space
2) The PUD largely ts the number of units allowed and density requirements of this
PUD. The project meets the density calculations for residential and
accommodation development. The one exception is the multifamily lot, which has
requested an increase in density.
3) Setbacks and lot coverage – We are not making any adjustments to the setbacks
from lot lines abutting a property outside the PUD. Setbacks and lot coverages are
compatible with the surrounding area.
4) Building height is not applicable as we are not building any new units
5) The PUD meets off street parking and loading standards
6) This project is part of the Fall River Village P.U.D which already dedicated open
space and with a trail. The area that was set aside for open space in the original Fall
River Village PUD consists of Outlot B (along the river), and the multiple seating
areas, a trail, a pool and hot tubs located throughout the lower Fall River Village
property. With this PUD we are trying to protect the rock outcroppings on the
southwest portion of the lot, the steep cliffs along the southeast portion of the lot
and are providing two sidewalk/staircases through this development that will
provide a safe walking route to and from lower Fall River Village.
7) See responses to the code items related to Section 10 listed above
B) The amended PUD will create uses that have greater compatibility with the surrounding
area than the current use. By repurposing the main space of Skyview, it will no longer be
able to operate as a large wedding venue and the hours of operation will be reduced. This
will be a benet to neighbors as well as residents of Fall River Village as they will not be
subjected to loud music late in the evening. The new use of an office space is compatible
with the surrounding uses, and a day care facility will enhance the livability of the
surrounding neighborhood as it provides a local childcare option for nearby families.

Section 1: Lien. All Assessments made or imposed by the Association against a Lot and

encumbrances on a Lot, except: (1) liens and encumbrances recorded before the recordation of this
Declaration; (2) a First Security Interest in the Lot recorded before the date on which the General
Common Expense Assessment sought to be enforced became delinquent; and (3) liens for real
estate taxes and other governmental Assessments or charges against the Lot. This Section does not
prohibit an action to recover sums for which this Section creates a lien or prohibit the Association
from taking a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the
Association's lien. If the Assessments are payable in installments, each installment is a lien form the
time it becomes due. Recording of this Declaration constitutes record notice and perfection of the
lien. No further recordation of any claim or notice of lien for Assessments is required.
Section 2: Interest, Late Fees, Costs and Attorney’s Fees. Any Assessment provided for in
this Declaration or any monthly or other installment thereof which is not fully paid within thirty (30)
days after the date due shall bear interest at a rate determined by the Board. In addition, the Board
may assess a late charge thereon. Any Owner who fails to pay any Assessment shall also be
obligated to pay the Association, on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by the Association,
including reasonable attorney's fees, in attempting to collect the delinquent amount. The total
amount due to the Association shall constitute a lien on the defaulting Owner's Lot. The
Association may bring an action, at law or in equity, or both, against any Owner obligated to pay
any amount due to the Association or any monthly or other installment thereof and may also
proceed to foreclose its lien against such Owner's Lot. An action at law or in equity by the
4-27-26
Association against a delinquent Owner to recover a money judgment for unpaid amounts due to the
Association or monthly or other installments thereof may be commenced and pursued by the
Association without foreclosing or in any way waiving the Association's lien.

the Tenant and assess the cost as a special assessment against the Unit and the Owner.
ARTICLE VIII. ALTERATION OF UNITS; EASEMENTS FOR ENCROACHMENTS
Section 1: Party Walls. An easement shall be and is hereby established on the
Lots for all Party Walls. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Declaration,
the general rules of law in Colorado regarding Party Walls and liability for property damage due
to negligence or willful acts or omissions shall apply to the Party Walls. Each Owner shall be
responsible for the reasonable maintenance and care of that portion of a Party Wall located on
such Owner’s Property. No Owner shall undertake any work on such Owner’s Lot if such work
would jeopardize the soundness or safety of the Party Wall, reduce the value thereof, or impair
this Party Wall Easement without the consent of the other Owner. If a Party Wall is destroyed or
damaged by fire or other casualty, either Owner may restore the Party Wall, and the other Owner
shall contribute such Owner’s proportionate share of the cost of such restoration. Restoration of
the damaged Party Wall shall be to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the
damage. Nothing herein contained shall prejudice the right of either Owner to require a larger
contribution from the other Owner based upon the negligence or willful acts or omissions of such
Owner, or such Owner’s family members, tenants, guests, or invitees. An Owner may act
without obtaining prior consent of the other Owner in emergency situations. After acquiring an
adjoining Unit, an Owner may remove or alter any intervening Party Wall or create openings or
apertures therein, if such acts do not impair the structural integrity, electrical or mechanical
systems, or lessen the support of any portion of the Building. Removal of a Party Wall under
this Section is not an alteration or relocation of Lot boundaries. Notwithstanding the combination
of two Units, the resulting Unit shall nonetheless continue to be considered two Units for Voting
purposes.
Section 2: Alteration of Units. An Owner may make any improvements or alterations to
the interior of such Owner’s Unit that do not impair the structural integrity, the electrical or
4-27-26
mechanical systems, or lessen the support of any portion of the Building.
Section 3: Encroachments. A valid easement shall exist for the following encroachments
and for the maintenance of the same: (a) in the event that any portion of a Unit encroaches upon
any adjacent Lot or Lots; or (b) in the event that any portion of a Unit encroaches upon the
Common Elements; or (c) in the event any encroachment shall occur in the future as a result of
settling of a Building or repair or restoration of the Building or an adjacent Unit after damage by fire
or other casualty or condemnation or eminent domain proceedings. In the event that any one or
more of the Units or a Building are partially or totally destroyed and are then rebuilt or
reconstructed in substantially the same location, and as a result of such rebuilding, any portion
thereof shall encroach as provided in the preceding sentence, a valid easement for such
encroachment shall exist. Such encroachments and easements shall not be considered or determined
to be encumbrances, either on the Common Elements or on the Lots, for purposes of marketability
of title or other purposes. In interpreting any and all provisions of this Declaration, subsequent
deeds to, and/or mortgages of Lots, the actual location of a Unit shall be deemed conclusively to be
the property intended to be conveyed, reserved, or encumbered, notwithstanding any minor
deviations, either horizontally or laterally from the locations of such Units indicated on the Plat.
Section 4: Blanket Easement. There is hereby created a blanket easement upon, across,
over, and under the Lots for ingress and egress to and from each Unit from the Streets and for
installing, replacing, repairing, and maintaining all Common Elements, including the Buildings, the
Fire Suppression System, and all utilities such as water, sewer, gas, telephone, electricity, and
television. By virtue of this easement, it shall be expressly permissible for the providing of
electrical, telephone and/or television wires, circuits, and conduits on, above, across, and under the
roof and exterior walls of the Units. No sewer lines, electrical lines, water lines, or other utilities
may be installed or relocated on the Real Estate, except as initially installed or as subsequently
approved by the Board and for the installation by the Declarant of submetering of the water line for
the two Units on Lot 17 and for the Units on Lot 13 and 14. The Association, its officers, agents,
employees, and assigns, shall have the right to make such use of the Common Elements as may be
reasonably necessary or appropriate to perform the duties and functions which it is obligated or
permitted to perform pursuant to this Declaration.
Section 5: Emergency Easement. An easement for ingress and egress is hereby granted to
all police, sheriff, fire protection, ambulance, and other similar emergency agencies or persons to
enter upon the Real Estate in the performance of their duties.
Section 6: Fire Suppression System: There is hereby created a blanket easement upon, over,
under, across, in, and through the Buildings and all Units for the purpose of installing, replacing,
repairing, maintaining, and improving the Fire Suppression System.
ARTICLE IX. TERMINATION OF MECHANIC'S LIEN RIGHTS
AND INDEMNIFICATION
No labor performed or materials furnished and incorporated in a Unit or on a Lot with the
consent of or at the request of the Owner thereof, such Owner’s agents, contractors, or
subcontractors, shall be the basis for filing a lien against the Unit or Lot of any other Owner not
4-27-26
expressly consenting to or requesting the same or against the Common Elements. Each Owner shall
indemnify and hold harmless all other Owners and the Association from and against all liability
arising from the claim of any lien against the Unit or Lot of any other Owner or against the
Common Elements for construction performed or for labor, materials, services, or other products
incorporated in the Owner's Unit or Lot at such Owner's request. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any Mortgagee of a Lot who shall become the Owner of such Lot pursuant to a lawful foreclosure
sale or the taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure shall be under no obligation to indemnify and hold
harmless any other Owner or the Association against liability for claims arising prior to the date
such Mortgagee becomes an Owner.
ARTICLE X. RESERVATION FOR ACCESS, MAINTENANCE,
REPAIR, AND EMERGENCIES
Section 1: Access to Units. The Association shall have the irrevocable right to be exercised
by the Association's Board, Officers, managing agent, employees, and contractors, to have access to
each Unit from time to time during reasonable hours as may be necessary for the maintenance,
repair, or replacement of any of the Common Elements, including but not limited to the Fire
Suppression System, therein or accessible therefrom or at any hour for making emergency repairs,
maintenance, or inspection therein necessary to prevent damage to the Common Elements,
including but not limited to the Fire Suppression System, and/or to another Unit.
Section 2: Damage to Unit. Damage to the interior or any part of a Unit resulting from the
maintenance, repair, emergency repair, or replacement of any of the Common Elements or as a
result of emergency repairs within another Unit at the insistence of the Association shall be a
General Common Expense; provided, however, that if the damage is caused by the negligent or
tortuous acts of an Owner, such Owner’s agents, employees, invitees, or tenants, then such Owner
shall be responsible and liable for all of such repair and the cost thereof shall become said Owner's
obligation, which shall be timely paid. Said obligation shall be an Assessment against said Owner
and such Owner’s Unit and shall be subject to the provisions for collection elsewhere herein
provided. All damaged improvements shall be restored substantially to the extent reasonably
practical to the same condition in which they existed prior to the damage. All maintenance, repairs,
and replacement of the Common Elements, whether located inside or outside of the Units, shall be
the General Common Expense of all of the Owners (unless necessitated by the negligence, misuse,
or tortuous act of an Owner, in which case such expense may be charged to such Owner). However,
the Association shall not be obligated to seek redress for damages caused by a negligent Owner, and
this covenant shall not abrogate the insurance provisions of this Declaration.
ARTICLE XI. MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY
Section 1: Maintenance of the Units.
a) For maintenance purposes, an Owner shall maintain and keep in good repair
and condition at all times such Owner’s Unit, which shall include by example and not limitation, all

equipment and surface materials visible from the exterior of a Unit shall be of substantially the same
architectural style, design, color, material, and quality as existed immediately prior to the
maintenance, repair or replacement.
b) An Owner shall also maintain and keep in good repair at all times all
Individual Utilities appurtenant to such Owner’s Unit commencing at the point that the Individual
Utilities enter the Unit. An Owner shall not be deemed to own and shall have no obligation to
maintain or repair any Common Utilities running through such Owner’s Lot or Unit, which
Common Utilities are Common Elements to be maintained by the Association. Common Utilities
shall not be disturbed or relocated by an Owner without the prior written consent and approval of
the Board. An Owner shall do no act or work that will impair the structural soundness or integrity
of the Building in which the Unit is located or impair the proper functioning of the Common
Utilities, or impair any easement.
Section 2: Maintenance of the Buildings. The Owners of the Lots upon which a Building is
located shall have the duty, obligation, and responsibility of maintaining, repairing, restoring,
improving, and replacing the Building located on their Lots, except to the extent that an Owner is
required to maintain such Owner’s Unit as provided in Section 1 of this Article XI. The costs of
maintenance and repair of the Building shall be Limited Common Expenses and shall be allocated
among the Owners of the Units within the Building in the same manner as General Common
Expenses are allocated, pro rata based on the square footage of each Unit within the Building
unless necessitated by the negligence, misuse, or tortuous act of an Owner, in which case such
expense may be charged to such Owner). Buildings must be maintained, repaired, restored,
improved, and replaced to standards established by the Board.
a) Limited Common Expenses. It shall be the duty of each Owner of a Unit
within a Building to pay such Owner’s proportionate share of all Limited Common Expenses
allocated to such Unit. Unpaid Limited Common Expenses shall bear interest from the date due
until paid at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. In addition, any Owner who fails to pay
such Owner’s proportionate share of the Limited Common Expenses when due (“the Defaulting
Owner”) shall be obligated to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees,
incurred by the non-defaulting Owner(s) of Units within the Building in collecting any
delinquent Limited Common Expenses. The total amount due from the Defaulting Owner,
including unpaid Limited Common Expenses, interest, costs, and attorney’s fees, shall be a lien
on the Defaulting Owner’s Lot which lien may be enforced by the non-defaulting Owners of
Units within the Building in the same manner as the lien for General Common Expenses may be
enforced as provided in Article VI of this Declaration.
b) Right to Maintain. Any Owner of a Unit in a Building shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to maintain, repair, renovate, and improve the Building, and shall pay all
4-27-26
costs and expenses incurred as a result of any maintenance, repair, renovation, or improvement
of the Building, except to the extent that such costs and expenses are Limited Common
Expenses.
ARTICLE XII. ADDITIONS, ALTERATIONS, AND IMPROVEMENTS

Elements and except in the event of an emergency, there shall be no capital additions, alterations, or
improvements of or to the Common Elements made by the Association requiring an expenditure in
any calendar year in excess of an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Association's
then-current annual budget except by vote of Owners of Units to which 67% or more of the votes in
the Association are allocated who are present in person or by proxy at a meeting called for such
purpose at which a quorum is present. The limitations set forth above shall not apply to repair in the
event of damage, destruction, or condemnation.

Coverage under such policy shall include, without limitation, legal liability of the Association for
property damage, bodily injuries, and death of persons in connection with the operation,
maintenance, or use of the Common Elements and legal liability arising out of lawsuits related to

administered by the Association. If the managing agent has the responsibility for handling or
administering funds of the Association, the managing agent shall be required to maintain fidelity
bond coverage for its officers, employees, and agents handling or responsible for funds of or
administered on behalf of the Association. Such fidelity bonds shall name the Association as an
obligee and shall be in such amount as may be determined by the Board. Such bonds shall contain
waivers by the issuers thereof of all defenses based upon the exclusion of persons serving without

Neighborhood Meeting Minutes
Date: May 8, 2025
Location: SkyView Event Center, Fall River Village
Time: 5:22 PM – 6:25 PM
Facilitator: Scott Moulton, Executive Director, EPHA & Peter Levine, Director of Real Estate
Development, EPHA
Duration: 1 hour 3 minutes
1. Welcome and Introduction
Scott Moulton welcomed attendees, noting the purpose of the meeting: to present
current plans for Fall River Village and gather neighborhood feedback as part of the
subdivision and zoning amendment process required by the Town of Estes Park.
2. Project Overview
Workforce Housing Strategy
EPHA acquired Fall River Village to create 74 units of long-term workforce
housing.
The property consists of two parcels:
Lower Parcel: 65 two-bedroom units, to remain as workforce rentals at below-
market rates.
Upper Parcel: Includes one building with 8 one-bedroom units (to remain
rentals) and 15 higher-end three- and four-bedroom townhomes.
Sale of Market-Rate Townhomes
Attachment 8
EPHA plans to sell up to 13 of the upper townhome units at market rate to
reduce project debt and enable long-term nancial sustainability.
Sales proceeds will reduce debt principal and allow EPHA to maintain affordable
rents.
Use of Remaining Units
One four-bedroom unit may be converted into a child care facility (pending
feasibility).
The SkyView Event Center space will be repurposed for:
EPHA office space (relocating from U.S. Bank building).
A reduced-capacity event space (no weddings or late-night events).
3. Financial Structure
The project was made feasible by:
Proposition 123 funding: $7 million equity investment from the State of Colorado
via CHFA.
Financing terms: 4.8% interest rate, 100% loan-to-value from NBH Bank.
Use of market-rate sales and permitted short-term rental (STR) zoning to
maximize value on sales.
Rent Limits are based on AMI tiers:
60% AMI (1BR units), 70–80% AMI (2BR), 80% AMI (4BR).
Blended AMI for lower parcel must remain under 90% per Prop 123 regulations.
No income restrictions, but rents are AMI-tied. Utilities (except sewer, water,
trash, grounds) are paid by tenants.
4. Child Care Facility (Proposed)
EPHA is exploring conversion of a 4-bedroom unit to a child care facility:
Intended to serve infants/toddlers, potentially accommodating ~10 children.
Working with child care licensing professionals; no provider selected yet.
Outdoor play area, parking, and licensing feasibility still under evaluation.
If infeasible, unit may be sold to further reduce project debt.
5. Property Management and Design
Subdivision Plan:
The project requires replatting to subdivide townhomes into individual lots for
sale.
A PUD amendment will ensure zoning compliance and long-term use
compatibility.
Neighborhood meeting is part of the formal pre-application process.
HOA/CC&Rs:
Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) will govern future property
standards.
A landscape/common area HOA may be layered; EPHA likely to act as manager.
Maintenance:
Asphalt patching already underway.
Siding and exterior maintenance planned.
On-site presence (new EPHA office) will enhance accountability.
6. Parking, Traffic, and Safety
Parking:
Over 80 parking spaces on upper parcel, plus garage parking.
Adjustments may be needed for child care pick-up/drop-off zones.
Traffic Management:
Speeding concerns acknowledged.
EPHA plans to install seasonal speed bumps and additional signage.
No traffic study required as no new development is planned.
7. Leasing and Occupancy
Current leasing Status:
Upper parcel: 100% leased for intended rentals.
Lower parcel: ~35% leased; limited by deferred maintenance and staffing.
Full lease-up expected by end of 2025.
Lease terms:
Mostly 12-month leases; one six-month lease.
Limited short-term lease use planned; seasonal workforce leases possible but
capped.
Occupant Selection:
Waitlist-based application process.
Renters ranked preferred units; placement based on preferences and
availability.
No preferential treatment given; all applicants went through equal screening.
8. Community Questions and Concerns
Short-Term Rentals (STRs):
STRs are allowed under existing zoning and PUD.
EPHA intends to use STR eligibility to maximize sales value.
No intent to allow mass investor buy-up; units will be individually marketed.
Occupancy Enforcement:
State law limits restrictions on occupancy.
EPHA leases include guest limits (10–14 days) and require reporting household
members.
Units are inspected and monitored for lease compliance.
Transparency and Accountability:
Scott Moulton addressed and denied rumors of favoritism, reduced staff rents,
or self-dealing.
All staff and applicants followed standard application process.
Concerns Over Child Care, Noise, Density:
EPHA committed to only pursuing child care use if space meets all licensing and
operational needs.
No increase in density; development is adaptive reuse only.
Event space will have reduced hours and capacity.
9. Town Approval Process
Next Steps:
Submit application to Town of Estes Park to subdivide property and amend PUD.
Application process includes multiple review cycles, Planning Commission
hearing, and nal Board of Trustees approval.
EPHA aims to submit the application by the end of May 2025.
Public Engagement:
All standard noticing requirements will be met or exceeded (mailings, signage).
Community input welcomed throughout the entitlement process.
10. Closing
Scott Moulton thanked attendees.
EPHA staff remained available for follow-up questions.
Meeting adjourned at approximately 6:25 PM.

Lot 17
Advantages
Lots.
PUD states Accommodations (A) Zoning standards apply
Minimum lot size 40,000 square feet;
All proposed lots are less than 40,000 square feet.
Section 10.5.H.7 allows the decision maker to approve townhome lots
smaller than required by the zoning district, which is requested with this
application.
Lot 1 (8-plex), Lot 12 (office and event facility), and Lot 17 (duplex) do not
qualify as townhomes and therefore do not comply with the minimum lot
size. The PUD application seeks a waiver to minimum lot size for these lots,
and if approved, the proposed lots will be consistent with the PUD.
Advantages
Setbacks.
Townhome projects are not required to comply with setbacks for properties
internal to the project
Lots 1, 12, and 17 would be subject to a 15-foot setback requirement since
they do not qualify as townhomes.
The PUD requests a wavier to allow a setback of zero feet, although lots 1
and 12 would have setbacks of 1 to 2 feet and Lot 17 would have a setback
of approximately 7 feet from the outlot/common parking area. Setbacks to
areas outside the development remain compliant with required minimums.
Advantages
Density.
No new units are proposed. As such, the density of the subdivision is
compliant with the existing PUD and the proposed PUD amendment.
Relationship to Comprehensive Plan.
Subdividing the property should have little to no impact on the character of
the area but will support the housing goals in Comprehensive.
Geologic and Wildfire Hazard Areas.
Located outside all mapped geologic hazard areas
Partially within a mapped high-tree wildfire hazard area
No additional wildfire requirements apply at this time. However, like all of
Town, any future remodels or redevelopment over certain thresholds will
be subject to the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code.
Advantages
Utilities and Services.
Power and Communications, Estes Valley Fire Protection District, and Estes
Park Sanitation District have reviewed and expressed no objections to the
proposed subdivision.
Water Division:
Concerns addressed regarding shared water service lines
Shared lines typically not allowed due to potential complications with
maintenance and billing.
Lots 13 and 14 share a water meter and service line
Applicant will install a submeter to determine water usage of each unit and
dedicate easements to ensure appropriate access for maintenance.
Advantages
Orientation of Land Uses.
The proposed subdivision will not alter the orientation of land uses.
Improvements.
No new public improvements are necessary to serve the development.
Compliance with Zoning Development Standards.
Standards on minimizing land, wildlife, and vegetation disturbance and
maximizing open space are not applicable since no new development is
proposed
Limits of Disturbance.
N/A
Advantages
Sidewalks, Pedestrian Connections and Trails.
PUD requests waiver to requirement for a sidewalk along Far View Drive
and/or the internal access road connecting. A sidewalk runs through the
property along Sunny Acres Court, with stairs leading from the upper
property to the lower property.
Wildlife Habitat Protection.
N/A
Advantages
Building Code.
Subdividing the property creates different building code requirements and
occupancy classifications compared to how the buildings were originally
constructed.
Building code analysis:
Lots 2-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-11, 15-16 lack the required fire separation in the attics. To
become compliant, additional drywall will need to be installed in the attics.
Lots 13-14 lack required fire separation and require installation of a fire sprinkler
system. Additionally, a 6’ wide setback/building envelope in the outlot directly west
of the west property line needs to be platted to provide emergency egress from Lot
13.
Staff recommends condition of approval that the above items are
completed, inspected, and approved prior to recording of the subdivision
plat.
Disadvantages
None Identified
Action Recommended
Staff recommends Planning Commission forward to Town Board a recommendation to approve
the combined Preliminary/Final PUD Plan, subject to the following findings and conditions of
approval:
Findings:
The Planning Commission is the recommending body for the combined Preliminary/Final PUD
Plan.
The Town of Estes Park Board of Trustees is the decision-making body for the combined
Preliminary/Final PUD Plan.
This request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff for consideration and
comment with no objections received.
The combined Preliminary/Final PUD Plan application complies with applicable standards set
forth in the Estes Park Development Code.
Conditions:
Parking shall be managed by the owner’s association to ensure parking is provided in
accordance with the approved PUD in a safe manner that does not block emergency access
and shall include enforcement of event facility occupancy limits as necessary.
Finance/Resource Impact
The PUD will have little no impact on Town finances or resources.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Paul Hornbeck, Senior Planner
Department: Community Development
Date: July 28, 2026
Subject: Resolution 89-26 Fall River Village II Final Plat, Estes Park Housing
Authority, Owner/ Applicant
Type: Public Hearing, Land Use, Quasi-Judicial
Objective:
Conduct a public hearing to consider an application for a Final Subdivision Plat and
approve or deny the application.
Present Situation:
Estes Park Development Code Section 3.2 requires subdivisions be reviewed first as a
preliminary plat and then as a final plat. Planning Commission reviews the preliminary
plat and makes a recommendation to the Town Board, who is the final decision-making
body. The final plat is reviewed and either approved or denied by the Town Board only.
Preliminary and final plats are usually considered by Town Board at separate meetings.
However, given the nature of this subdivision not entailing any new development, the
preliminary and final plat are being reviewed at the same meeting as separate agenda
items.
The subject property is approximately 3.8 acres in size and contains 24 units and an
event facility. The development was used for short-term overnight accommodations and
events until its sale in 2024 to the Estes Park Housing Authority (EPHA). EPHA
subsequently began leasing units to members of the workforce, with longer term plans
to subdivide the property to allow the sale of some units in order to facilitate below-
market rental rates for other units. Other plans for the property include establishing a
daycare, converting portions of the event facility to an office for EPHA and storage
areas for residents and EPHA, and continued use of the remaining portion of event
facility for events.
Proposal:
The 24 existing units and event facility are proposed to be subdivided into 14 townhome
lots, one 8-plex lot, one duplex lot, and one lot for the event facility/office. A concurrent
PUD amendment is necessary to address non-conforming situations that would result
from the subdivision and make minor changes to allowed uses.
Advantages:
The application complies with the relevant standards and criteria set forth below and
with other applicable provisions of the Code. In accordance with Code section 3.9.E
Standards for Review”, all subdivision applications shall demonstrate compliance with
the standards and criteria set forth in Chapter 10, "Subdivision Standards," and all other
applicable provisions of the Code.
1. Lots. The existing PUD states the property’s Commercial Outlying zoning shall
be treated as Accommodations (A) Zoning. The minimum lot size in the A zone is
40,000 square feet; however, all proposed lots are less than 40,000 square feet.
Estes Park Development Code (EPDC) Section 10.5.H.7 allows the decision
maker to approve townhome lots smaller than required by the zoning district,
which is requested with this application. However, Lot 1 (8-plex), Lot 12 (office
and event facility), and Lot 17 (duplex) do not qualify as townhomes and
therefore do not comply with the minimum lot size. As such, the PUD application
seeks a waiver to minimum lot size for these lots, and if approved, the proposed
lots will be consistent with the PUD.
2. Setbacks. Subdividing the current single lot in multiple lots will result in different
building setbacks. Townhome projects are not required to comply with setbacks
for properties internal to the project per EPDC Section 10.5.H.7.d. However, lots
1, 12, and 17 would be subject to a 15-foot setback requirement since they do
not qualify as townhomes. The PUD requests a wavier to allow a setback of zero
feet, although lots 1 and 12 would have setbacks of 1 to 2 feet and Lot 17 would
have a setback of approximately 7 feet from the outlot/common parking area.
Setbacks to areas outside the development remain compliant with required
minimums.
3. Density. No new units are proposed. As such, the density of the subdivision is
compliant with the existing PUD and the proposed PUD amendment.
4. Relationship to Comprehensive Plan. As an existing development, subdividing
the property should have little to no impact on the character of the area but will
support the housing goals in Comprehensive.
5. Geologic and Wildfire Hazard Areas. The property is outside all mapped
geologic hazard areas but lies partially within a mapped high-tree wildfire hazard
area. As an existing development, no additional wildfire requirements apply at
this time. However, like all of Town, any future remodels or redevelopment over
certain thresholds will be subject to the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code.
6. Utilities and Services. Power and Communications, Estes Valley Fire Protection
District, and Estes Park Sanitation District have reviewed and expressed no
objections to the proposed subdivision.
The Water Division supports the application based on modifications made by the
applicant to address concerns about shared water service lines, which are
typically not allowed due to potential complications with maintenance and billing.
Lots 13 and 14 share a water meter and service line, which runs through Lot 14
to serve Lot 13. To address these concerns, the applicant will install a submeter
to determine water usage of each unit and dedicate easements to ensure
appropriate access for maintenance. The draft covenants, conditions, and
restrictions (Attachment #6) establish these easements and related access
requirements and address installation of the submeter.
7. Orientation of Land Uses. The proposed subdivision will not alter the
orientation of land uses.
8. Improvements. No new public improvements are necessary to serve the
development.
9. Compliance with Zoning Development Standards. The Code requires the
layout of lots, driveways, utilities, drainage facilities be designed in a manner that
minimizes the land disturbance, maximizes the amount of open space in the
development, and preserves existing trees/vegetation and wildlife habitat. Since
no new development is proposed, this section is not applicable.
10. Limits of Disturbance. The Code requires that limits of disturbance (LOD) be
established with the subdivision of land. Since no new development is proposed,
this section is not applicable.
11. Streets. As an existing development, no new street improvements are
warranted.
12. Sidewalks, Pedestrian Connections and Trails. An existing sidewalk runs
through the property along Sunny Acres Court, with stairs leading from the upper
property to the lower property. Public Works has determined no additional
sidewalks or connections are required.
13. Wildlife Habitat Protection. With no new development proposed, wildlife habitat
protection is not applicable.
14. Building Code. Subdividing the property creates different building code
requirements and occupancy classifications compared to how the buildings were
originally constructed. The applicant’s architect has provided a building code
analysis, which concludes various improvements are required make the buildings
conforming with the building code upon the subdivision. The Town’s Building
Division has reviewed the code analysis and agrees with the findings, which
include:
a. Lots 2-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-11, 15-16 lack the required fire separation in the
attics. To become compliant, additional drywall will need to be installed in
the attics.
b. Lots 13-14 lack required fire separation and require installation of a fire
sprinkler system. Additionally, a 6’ wide setback/building envelope in the
outlot directly west of the west property line needs to be platted to provide
emergency egress from Lot 13.
To address these life-safety items staff recommends, and the applicant has
agreed to, a condition of approval that the above items are completed, inspected,
and approved prior to recording of the subdivision plat. EPDC requires the
subdivision plat be recorded within 180 days of Town Board approval.
Disadvantages:
Since the application complies with relevant review criteria, no disadvantages have
been identified.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends Town Board approve the final plat, subject to the following condition
of approval:
1. All recommendations identified in the building code analysis (Attachment #4)
shall be completed, inspected, and accepted by the Town prior to recording of
the final subdivision plat.
Finance/Resource Impact:
The subdivision will have little no impact on Town finances or resources.
Level of Public Interest:
Staff anticipates a moderate level of public interest; however, as of this writing no public
comments have been received on this application. Any comments received will be
posted to http://www.estes.org/currentapplications.
In accordance with the notice requirements in the Code, notice of this hearing was
published in the Estes Park Trail-Gazette, on July 10, 2026. Notice was mailed to all
required adjacent property owners on July 10, 2026. A sign was posted on the property
by the applicant.

Subdivision & PUD Statement of Intent
Fall River Village
200 Filbey Ct Estes Park CO 80517
6/30/25
4.Statement of Intent. All applications for a preliminary subdivision plan and nal plat
shall include a written Statement of Intent explaining how the proposed subdivision meets
the applicable standards for review as set forth in Chapter 10 and Chapter 7 of this Code.
Ord. 18-01 #26)
The intent of subdividing this property is to enable sales of the high value 3 and 4
bedroom townhome units to facilitate below market rental rates for the workforce of Estes
Park. While this subdivision is only for the upper parcel of Fall River Village, it impacts both
the upper and the lower parcel. Currently, the project has too large of a debt payment to be
self-sufficient with the rental rates that we have agreed to charge. In order for the property
to operate in a sustainable manner, which will enable long term below market rate rents for
the Estes Park Workforce, the sales proceeds from the sales of the townhomes will be used
to pay down the debt across the project, thereby reducing the ongoing debt payment.
Once this plan is executed, the project is projected to turn a small operating prot which
will enable long term below market rate rents for the Estes Park Workforce. The risk of not
being able to execute this plan will result in a sale of the property or a foreclosure from the
bank. Either of these outcomes will strip away any affordability and workforce restrictions
that EPHA plans to implement.
There is no planned construction taking place as part of this subdivision and
amended PUD.

Chapter 10 Review
10.1 - PURPOSES
The purposes of this Chapter are to:
A. “Provide for the orderly growth and harmonious development of the Estes Valley
in accordance with the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan” -- This project ts this
requirement as there is no additional units being constructed, and it is a conversion
from hospitality to workforce housing which is a key part of the Estes Valley
Comprehensive plan
B. “Ensure an adequate and efficient street system” – No additional units are being
created, so there are no changes to the street system required
C. “Achieve individual property lots of reasonable utility and livability” – The project
accomplishes this in the way the lots are platted
D. “Secure adequate provisions for water supply, electric service, drainage, sewers
and other facilities and services for the health and safety of the residents of the
Estes Valley” -- As noted to the response in section 7.12, these facilities and
services have adequate provisions
E. “Protect sensitive environmental areas and mitigate the impact of development in
hazard areas” -- As noted in the response in section 7.7, this parcel does not have
sensitive environmental impacts nor hazard areas
F. “Ensure adequate provision of open areas” -– No new construction is occurring,
therefore we are ensuring adequate provision of open areas
10.2 Applicability/Scope
A. General – We acknowledge these provisions
B. Minor Subdivisions and Minor Adjustments: The property does not meet the
requirements for Minor Subdivisions or Minor Adjustments.
10.3 Review Procedures

walkability to the Town Center including parks, schools, adjacent developments, and
existing and proposed hike and bike trails
G. Vegetation Protection: We are not planning any new construction on this
property, therefore all existing vegetation will remain.
H. 1-6 This section is applicable to this project as certain lots will be townhome lots
7. The townhome lots in this project are allowed with the applied zoning on
the PUD. The project is creating additional outlots for common areas that shall be owned
and maintained by the homeowners association. The townhome project complies with the
minimum lot size, and the setbacks and lot coverage are of appropriate standards.
I. We understand the monument requirements
J. There will not be any new construction taking place so this section is N/A. The
town has as builts when the property was previously developed
K. We do not expect any public improvement requirements as we are not building on

PUD Statement of Intent
5. A written statement of how the PUD Plan meets the standards for review, as set forth
in §3.4 of this Code.
9.1 - Purposes
This project ts the purposes of a PUD outlined in the Estes Park Development code. We
are amending this PUD to ensure that the (A) growing demands of the population may be
met, (B) Creating a more efficient use of land and public services so that the resulting
economies may inure to the benet of those who need homes, and (C) this PUD is well
located, preserves the land with no new construction, and provides development of a
mixed-use commercial and residential development and promote developments with a mix
of commercial and residential uses including attainable, workforce, and employee
housing.
9.2 Eligibility
The PUD in this district has already been created and contains the underlying CO district.
The PUD is eligible based upon both size and building count as the site is more than 2 acres
and has more than 5 units.
9.3 PUD Standards
A)
1) The PUD is proposing the following uses
Townhome ownership with the potential to STR
Free storage for workforce housing tenants
Office Space
Daycare
Event Space
2) The PUD largely ts the number of units allowed and density requirements of this
PUD. The project meets the density calculations for residential and
accommodation development. The one exception is the multifamily lot, which has
requested an increase in density.
3) Setbacks and lot coverage – We are not making any adjustments to the setbacks
from lot lines abutting a property outside the PUD. Setbacks and lot coverages are
compatible with the surrounding area.
4) Building height is not applicable as we are not building any new units
5) The PUD meets off street parking and loading standards
6) This project is part of the Fall River Village P.U.D which already dedicated open
space and with a trail. The area that was set aside for open space in the original Fall
River Village PUD consists of Outlot B (along the river), and the multiple seating
areas, a trail, a pool and hot tubs located throughout the lower Fall River Village
property. With this PUD we are trying to protect the rock outcroppings on the
southwest portion of the lot, the steep cliffs along the southeast portion of the lot
and are providing two sidewalk/staircases through this development that will
provide a safe walking route to and from lower Fall River Village.
7) See responses to the code items related to Section 10 listed above
B) The amended PUD will create uses that have greater compatibility with the surrounding
area than the current use. By repurposing the main space of Skyview, it will no longer be
able to operate as a large wedding venue and the hours of operation will be reduced. This
will be a benet to neighbors as well as residents of Fall River Village as they will not be
subjected to loud music late in the evening. The new use of an office space is compatible
with the surrounding uses, and a day care facility will enhance the livability of the
surrounding neighborhood as it provides a local childcare option for nearby families.

Section 1: Lien. All Assessments made or imposed by the Association against a Lot and

encumbrances on a Lot, except: (1) liens and encumbrances recorded before the recordation of this

Common Expense Assessment sought to be enforced became delinquent; and (3) liens for real

prohibit an action to recover sums for which this Section creates a lien or prohibit the Association
from taking a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the

time it becomes due. Recording of this Declaration constitutes record notice and perfection of the
lien. No further recordation of any claim or notice of lien for Assessments is required.
Section 2: Interest, Late Fees, Costs and Attorney’s Fees. Any Assessment provided for in
this Declaration or any monthly or other installment thereof which is not fully paid within thirty (30)
days after the date due shall bear interest at a rate determined by the Board. In addition, the Board
may assess a late charge thereon. Any Owner who fails to pay any Assessment shall also be
obligated to pay the Association, on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by the Association,
including reasonable attorney's fees, in attempting to collect the delinquent amount. The total
amount due to the Association shall constitute a lien on the defaulting Owner's Lot. The
Association may bring an action, at law or in equity, or both, against any Owner obligated to pay
any amount due to the Association or any monthly or other installment thereof and may also
proceed to foreclose its lien against such Owner's Lot. An action at law or in equity by the
4-27-26
Association against a delinquent Owner to recover a money judgment for unpaid amounts due to the
Association or monthly or other installments thereof may be commenced and pursued by the
Association without foreclosing or in any way waiving the Association's lien.
Section 3: Limitation of Lien. A lien for Assessments shall remain valid and enforceable
for a period of 6 years after the Assessment becomes due.
Section 4: Appointment of Receiver. In any action by the Association to collect
Assessments or to foreclose a lien for unpaid Assessments, the Court may appoint a receiver for the
Owner to collect all sums alleged to be due from the Owner prior to or during the pending action.
The Court may order the receiver to pay any sums held by the receiver to the Association during the

in like manner as a mortgage against real estate.

i) There shall be no advertising of the address of the Home Occupation that results in
attracting persons to the Unit.
j) There shall be no electrical or mechanical equipment not normally found in a
residential structure added to the Unit to accommodate the Home Occupation.
The Association may adopt additional Rules and Regulations further restricting the use of
the Units.
Section 6: Signs. No signs shall be installed or permitted to remain on the exterior of any
Lot, Building, or Unit or on the interior of a Unit if such sign is visible from the exterior of the Unit

written approval of the Board.
Section 8: Restrictions on Leasing. All leases made and entered into by an Owner after the
recording of this Declaration shall be in writing and shall provide that the tenant shall comply in all
respects with all of the provisions of this Declaration and the Governing Documents, and that any
failure by the tenant to comply with the terms and provisions of this Declaration or the Governing
Documents shall be a default under the lease. The Board may require information forms to be
completed and security deposits to be made by tenants. Copies of all leases made and entered into
by an Owner after the recording of this Declaration shall be provided to the Board prior to
commencement of occupancy by the tenant if requested by the Board. The Board may require the

Declaration and who has violated any provision of this Declaration or the Governing Documents
and if the Owner fails to commence eviction proceedings with the appropriate court within 30 days
after the decision of the Board, then the Board shall have the right, but not the obligation, to evict
the Tenant and assess the cost as a special assessment against the Unit and the Owner.
ARTICLE VIII. ALTERATION OF UNITS; EASEMENTS FOR ENCROACHMENTS
Section 1: Party Walls. An easement shall be and is hereby established on the
Lots for all Party Walls. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Declaration,
the general rules of law in Colorado regarding Party Walls and liability for property damage due
to negligence or willful acts or omissions shall apply to the Party Walls. Each Owner shall be
responsible for the reasonable maintenance and care of that portion of a Party Wall located on
such Owner’s Property. No Owner shall undertake any work on such Owner’s Lot if such work
would jeopardize the soundness or safety of the Party Wall, reduce the value thereof, or impair
this Party Wall Easement without the consent of the other Owner. If a Party Wall is destroyed or
damaged by fire or other casualty, either Owner may restore the Party Wall, and the other Owner
shall contribute such Owner’s proportionate share of the cost of such restoration. Restoration of
the damaged Party Wall shall be to substantially the same condition as existed prior to the
damage. Nothing herein contained shall prejudice the right of either Owner to require a larger
contribution from the other Owner based upon the negligence or willful acts or omissions of such
Owner, or such Owner’s family members, tenants, guests, or invitees. An Owner may act
without obtaining prior consent of the other Owner in emergency situations. After acquiring an
adjoining Unit, an Owner may remove or alter any intervening Party Wall or create openings or
apertures therein, if such acts do not impair the structural integrity, electrical or mechanical
systems, or lessen the support of any portion of the Building. Removal of a Party Wall under
this Section is not an alteration or relocation of Lot boundaries. Notwithstanding the combination
of two Units, the resulting Unit shall nonetheless continue to be considered two Units for Voting
purposes.
Section 2: Alteration of Units. An Owner may make any improvements or alterations to
the interior of such Owner’s Unit that do not impair the structural integrity, the electrical or
4-27-26
mechanical systems, or lessen the support of any portion of the Building.
Section 3: Encroachments. A valid easement shall exist for the following encroachments
and for the maintenance of the same: (a) in the event that any portion of a Unit encroaches upon
any adjacent Lot or Lots; or (b) in the event that any portion of a Unit encroaches upon the
Common Elements; or (c) in the event any encroachment shall occur in the future as a result of
settling of a Building or repair or restoration of the Building or an adjacent Unit after damage by fire
or other casualty or condemnation or eminent domain proceedings. In the event that any one or
more of the Units or a Building are partially or totally destroyed and are then rebuilt or
reconstructed in substantially the same location, and as a result of such rebuilding, any portion
thereof shall encroach as provided in the preceding sentence, a valid easement for such
encroachment shall exist. Such encroachments and easements shall not be considered or determined
to be encumbrances, either on the Common Elements or on the Lots, for purposes of marketability
of title or other purposes. In interpreting any and all provisions of this Declaration, subsequent
deeds to, and/or mortgages of Lots, the actual location of a Unit shall be deemed conclusively to be
the property intended to be conveyed, reserved, or encumbered, notwithstanding any minor
deviations, either horizontally or laterally from the locations of such Units indicated on the Plat.
Section 4: Blanket Easement. There is hereby created a blanket easement upon, across,
over, and under the Lots for ingress and egress to and from each Unit from the Streets and for
installing, replacing, repairing, and maintaining all Common Elements, including the Buildings, the
Fire Suppression System, and all utilities such as water, sewer, gas, telephone, electricity, and
television. By virtue of this easement, it shall be expressly permissible for the providing of
electrical, telephone and/or television wires, circuits, and conduits on, above, across, and under the
roof and exterior walls of the Units. No sewer lines, electrical lines, water lines, or other utilities
may be installed or relocated on the Real Estate, except as initially installed or as subsequently
approved by the Board and for the installation by the Declarant of submetering of the water line for
the two Units on Lot 17 and for the Units on Lot 13 and 14. The Association, its officers, agents,
employees, and assigns, shall have the right to make such use of the Common Elements as may be
reasonably necessary or appropriate to perform the duties and functions which it is obligated or
permitted to perform pursuant to this Declaration.
Section 5: Emergency Easement. An easement for ingress and egress is hereby granted to
all police, sheriff, fire protection, ambulance, and other similar emergency agencies or persons to
enter upon the Real Estate in the performance of their duties.
Section 6: Fire Suppression System: There is hereby created a blanket easement upon, over,
under, across, in, and through the Buildings and all Units for the purpose of installing, replacing,
repairing, maintaining, and improving the Fire Suppression System.
ARTICLE IX. TERMINATION OF MECHANIC'S LIEN RIGHTS
AND INDEMNIFICATION
No labor performed or materials furnished and incorporated in a Unit or on a Lot with the
consent of or at the request of the Owner thereof, such Owner’s agents, contractors, or
subcontractors, shall be the basis for filing a lien against the Unit or Lot of any other Owner not
4-27-26
expressly consenting to or requesting the same or against the Common Elements. Each Owner shall
indemnify and hold harmless all other Owners and the Association from and against all liability
arising from the claim of any lien against the Unit or Lot of any other Owner or against the
Common Elements for construction performed or for labor, materials, services, or other products
incorporated in the Owner's Unit or Lot at such Owner's request. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any Mortgagee of a Lot who shall become the Owner of such Lot pursuant to a lawful foreclosure
sale or the taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure shall be under no obligation to indemnify and hold
harmless any other Owner or the Association against liability for claims arising prior to the date
such Mortgagee becomes an Owner.
ARTICLE X. RESERVATION FOR ACCESS, MAINTENANCE,
REPAIR, AND EMERGENCIES
Section 1: Access to Units. The Association shall have the irrevocable right to be exercised
by the Association's Board, Officers, managing agent, employees, and contractors, to have access to
each Unit from time to time during reasonable hours as may be necessary for the maintenance,
repair, or replacement of any of the Common Elements, including but not limited to the Fire
Suppression System, therein or accessible therefrom or at any hour for making emergency repairs,
maintenance, or inspection therein necessary to prevent damage to the Common Elements,
including but not limited to the Fire Suppression System, and/or to another Unit.
Section 2: Damage to Unit. Damage to the interior or any part of a Unit resulting from the
maintenance, repair, emergency repair, or replacement of any of the Common Elements or as a
result of emergency repairs within another Unit at the insistence of the Association shall be a
General Common Expense; provided, however, that if the damage is caused by the negligent or
tortuous acts of an Owner, such Owner’s agents, employees, invitees, or tenants, then such Owner
shall be responsible and liable for all of such repair and the cost thereof shall become said Owner's
obligation, which shall be timely paid. Said obligation shall be an Assessment against said Owner
and such Owner’s Unit and shall be subject to the provisions for collection elsewhere herein
provided. All damaged improvements shall be restored substantially to the extent reasonably
practical to the same condition in which they existed prior to the damage. All maintenance, repairs,
and replacement of the Common Elements, whether located inside or outside of the Units, shall be
the General Common Expense of all of the Owners (unless necessitated by the negligence, misuse,
or tortuous act of an Owner, in which case such expense may be charged to such Owner). However,
the Association shall not be obligated to seek redress for damages caused by a negligent Owner, and
this covenant shall not abrogate the insurance provisions of this Declaration.
ARTICLE XI. MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY
Section 1: Maintenance of the Units.
a) For maintenance purposes, an Owner shall maintain and keep in good repair
and condition at all times such Owner’s Unit, which shall include by example and not limitation, all
improvements within the Unit Boundaries, the windows and Exterior Doors, including window and
door casings; the interior non-supporting walls, floors, and ceilings of the Unit; the materials such
as, but not limited to, plaster, gypsum drywall, paneling, wallpaper, paint, ceiling, wall and floor tile
4-27-26
and flooring, carpet, and other materials which make up the finished surfaces of the interior of the
Unit Boundaries; interior doors; exterior shutters, awnings, window boxes, storm doors, storm
windows, patio doors, if any, appurtenant to each Unit; exterior heating, ventilating, or air
conditioning fixtures and equipment serving the Unit; and all other fixtures and equipment
designated to serve the Unit but located outside of the Unit Boundaries of such Unit. All
maintenance, repairs and replacements of Exterior Doors, exterior windows and all other fixtures,
equipment and surface materials visible from the exterior of a Unit shall be of substantially the same
architectural style, design, color, material, and quality as existed immediately prior to the
maintenance, repair or replacement.
b) An Owner shall also maintain and keep in good repair at all times all
Individual Utilities appurtenant to such Owner’s Unit commencing at the point that the Individual
Utilities enter the Unit. An Owner shall not be deemed to own and shall have no obligation to
maintain or repair any Common Utilities running through such Owner’s Lot or Unit, which
Common Utilities are Common Elements to be maintained by the Association. Common Utilities
shall not be disturbed or relocated by an Owner without the prior written consent and approval of
the Board. An Owner shall do no act or work that will impair the structural soundness or integrity
of the Building in which the Unit is located or impair the proper functioning of the Common
Utilities, or impair any easement.
Section 2: Maintenance of the Buildings. The Owners of the Lots upon which a Building is
located shall have the duty, obligation, and responsibility of maintaining, repairing, restoring,
improving, and replacing the Building located on their Lots, except to the extent that an Owner is
required to maintain such Owner’s Unit as provided in Section 1 of this Article XI. The costs of
maintenance and repair of the Building shall be Limited Common Expenses and shall be allocated
among the Owners of the Units within the Building in the same manner as General Common
Expenses are allocated, pro rata based on the square footage of each Unit within the Building
unless necessitated by the negligence, misuse, or tortuous act of an Owner, in which case such
expense may be charged to such Owner). Buildings must be maintained, repaired, restored,
improved, and replaced to standards established by the Board.
a) Limited Common Expenses. It shall be the duty of each Owner of a Unit
within a Building to pay such Owner’s proportionate share of all Limited Common Expenses
allocated to such Unit. Unpaid Limited Common Expenses shall bear interest from the date due
until paid at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. In addition, any Owner who fails to pay
such Owner’s proportionate share of the Limited Common Expenses when due (“the Defaulting
Owner”) shall be obligated to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees,
incurred by the non-defaulting Owner(s) of Units within the Building in collecting any
delinquent Limited Common Expenses. The total amount due from the Defaulting Owner,
including unpaid Limited Common Expenses, interest, costs, and attorney’s fees, shall be a lien
on the Defaulting Owner’s Lot which lien may be enforced by the non-defaulting Owners of
Units within the Building in the same manner as the lien for General Common Expenses may be
enforced as provided in Article VI of this Declaration.
b) Right to Maintain. Any Owner of a Unit in a Building shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to maintain, repair, renovate, and improve the Building, and shall pay all
4-27-26
costs and expenses incurred as a result of any maintenance, repair, renovation, or improvement
of the Building, except to the extent that such costs and expenses are Limited Common
Expenses.
ARTICLE XII. ADDITIONS, ALTERATIONS, AND IMPROVEMENTS
TO GENERAL COMMON ELEMENTS
Except for regularly scheduled maintenance, repair, or replacement of the Common
Elements and except in the event of an emergency, there shall be no capital additions, alterations, or
improvements of or to the Common Elements made by the Association requiring an expenditure in
any calendar year in excess of an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Association's
then-current annual budget except by vote of Owners of Units to which 67% or more of the votes in
the Association are allocated who are present in person or by proxy at a meeting called for such
purpose at which a quorum is present. The limitations set forth above shall not apply to repair in the
event of damage, destruction, or condemnation.
ARTICLE XIII. INSURANCE
Section 1: Liability Insurance. The Association shall maintain public liability and property
damage insurance in such limits as the Board may from time to time determine. Coverage shall
include, without limitation, liability for personal injuries, operation of automobiles on behalf of the
Association, and activities in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance, and other use
of the Common Elements. Said policy shall also contain a “severability of interest” endorsement.
Coverage under such policy shall include, without limitation, legal liability of the Association for
property damage, bodily injuries, and death of persons in connection with the operation,
maintenance, or use of the Common Elements and legal liability arising out of lawsuits related to

of a first mortgage, such insurance shall also include protection against such other risks as are
customarily covered with respect to s similar in construction, location, and use.

compensation and employer's liability insurance and all other similar insurance with respect to
employees of the Association in the amounts and in the forms now or hereafter required by law.
Section 3: Officers' and Directors' Insurance. To the extent such insurance can be obtained
at reasonable cost, the Association shall maintain blanket fidelity bonds for all officers, directors,
and employees of the Association and all other persons handling or responsible for funds of or
administered by the Association. If the managing agent has the responsibility for handling or
administering funds of the Association, the managing agent shall be required to maintain fidelity
bond coverage for its officers, employees, and agents handling or responsible for funds of or
administered on behalf of the Association. Such fidelity bonds shall name the Association as an
obligee and shall be in such amount as may be determined by the Board. Such bonds shall contain
waivers by the issuers thereof of all defenses based upon the exclusion of persons serving without
compensation from the definition of employees or similar terms or expressions. The premiums on
all bonds required hereunder, except those maintained by the managing agent, shall be paid by the

might be. Neither the Association nor Declarant shall in any way be considered insurers or
guarantors of security within or around the Common Interest Community, nor shall any of them
be held liable for any loss or damage by reason of failure to provide security or by reason of the
ineffectiveness of any security measures that might be undertaken. No representation or
warranty is made that any fire suppression system, burglar alarm system, or other security system
cannot be compromised or circumvented, or that any such systems or security measures
undertaken will in any case prevent loss or provide the detection or protection for which the
system is designed or intended. Each Owner acknowledges, understands, and covenants to
inform all of such Owner's tenants, guests, and invitees of the terms of this Section 7. Further,
each Owner expressly agrees that he or she assumes all risks of loss or damage to persons and to

or contain, any representation or warranty, express or implied, concerning the presence, absence,
or level of NORM in the soil beneath or adjacent to the Building.
Section 9. Disclaimer Regarding Radon. The United States Environmental Protection
Agency (the '"EPA'') has detected elevated levels of naturally occurring radon gas in certain
structures throughout Colorado and the EPA has voiced concerns about the possible adverse
effects on human health from long term exposure to high levels of radon gas. Neither the
Association nor the Declarant is qualified to evaluate all aspects of this very complex and
constantly changing issue. Any Owner may conduct such Owner’s own investigation and consult
with such experts as the Owner deems appropriate in order to determine the level of radon gas in
such Owner’s Unit, and to determine any mitigation the Owner desires to implement at the
Owner's sole cost, risk and expense. Owners acknowledge that the Association is under no
obligation with respect to the radon gas levels detected in the Owner’s Unit and nothing
contained herein shall create or be interpreted as a representation or warranty, express or implied,

type of action or the form of relief chosen by a claimant by the provisions of the Colorado
Governmental Immunity Act, C.R.S. § 24-10-101, et seq., as construed and interpreted by the
Colorado Court of Appeals in Martinez v. CSG Redevelopment Partners LLLP, 469 P.3d 491
Colo App 2019). Nothing contained in this Declaration shall be construed or interpreted as a
waiver, express or implied, of any of the immunities, rights, benefits, protections, or other
provisions contained in the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Tammy Zimmerman, Finance Director
Department: Finance
Date: July 28th, 2026
Subject: Resolution 90-26, Supplemental Budget Appropriations #2 to the 2026
Budget
Type: Resolution
Objective:
To appropriate funding for grant awards, utility capital project closeout, utilization of
Police Facility reserve for design costs, interest for Utility deposit refunds, increasing
expense for write-offs of uncollectible utility accounts, Fleet utilization study, use of
General Fund unassigned fund balance for one-time capital projects that are
recommended by the Town Administrator, and other mid-year adjustments.
Present Situation:
Throughout the year, operational needs and project requirements arise that were not
included in the original budgets such as new grants, capital needs, or evolving program
demands. To ensure continued compliance with budgetary and audit standards,
periodic budget amendments are required to authorize these expenditures and align
appropriations with actual activity.
Proposal:
The following explains the most significant proposed changes in appropriations by
Fund. Additional items may be described in the “Schedule of Budgeted Revenue
Changes” and the “Schedule of Budgeted Appropriation Changes” which are included
as part of Attachment B.
General Fund: Increase of $1,630,720
Grants:
An increase of $220,550 is included in Police grant projects. The Co-Responder
grant with Summitstone Health for $210,315, and Bulletproof Vest grant for
10,235, were both previously approved by the Town Board. These expenditures
are offset by corresponding grant revenue.
An increase of $312,000 is included in Landfill Mitigation grant project. The
amendment also recognizes the corresponding grant revenue.
Use of Unassigned Fund Balance:
Based on direction from the Town Administrator, the following one-time investments are
using excess General Fund balance resulting from higher-than-budgeted sales tax
collections and expenditure savings:
160,000 – Transfer to Facilities Management fund for additional repairs and
maintenance of aging Town facilities, including roofing, flooring and carpet
replacement.
100,000 – Transfer of $100,000 for Sprypoint Utility Billing software
implementation project. Additional funding is needed for project management
consulting, staff overtime, and customer communications to 11,820 utility
accounts. The cost is split with $66,0000 to the Power & Communications fund
and $34,000 to the Water fund.
100,000 – Transfer to Vehicle Replacement fund to help address increased
replacement costs. Since 2020, vehicles and equipment have increased in cost
by approximately 30%.
377,720 – Transfer to Power & Communications to purchase five IntelliRuptors
for wildfire mitigation and electric system reliability.
300,000 – Transfer to Community Reinvestment fund to increase the reserve for
the future Police Facility project. Strengthening this reserve is expected to reduce
future borrowing costs when financing is obtained.
60,000 - Transfer to Community Reinvestment fund for the Event Center
Storage Building project to address construction costs exceeding the original
budget estimates.
Community Reinvestment Fund: Increase $360,000:
The proposed amendment includes transfer from General Fund for $300,000 to
increase the reserve for the future Police Facility project and $60,000 to supplement the
budget for the Event Center Storage Building project.
Larimer County Open Space: Increase of $5,679,040
The Town was awarded a $5,679,040 grant from the Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT) for the Moraine Avenue Multi-Modal Trail project. The required
local match of $1,135,808 (20%) will be funded from available fund balance, while
4,543,232 in grant revenue is recognized through this amendment.
Street Fund: Increase of $1,183,235
The amendment increases the existing purchase order with Coulson Excavating for
overlay and patching work performed on behalf of the Estes Valley Recreation and Park
District (EVRPD). The Town will be fully reimbursed by EVRPD under the Mutual
Operating Agreement being presented to the Town Board for approval on the July 28
meeting agenda.
Power and Communication Fund: Decrease of $5,413,847
Grants:
A decrease of $5,892,567 reflects the rescission of the BEAD grant award. After
removing the grant-funded portion, the remaining local project funding of
1,964,189 will be redirected to a Fiber Optic Expansion project.
Utility Billing:
10,000 is added to budget for interest paid on refundable customer utility
deposits, as required by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC). While
this expense has historically not been budgeted, several large commercial
deposits were refunded during 2026. In addition, PUC-prescribed interest rates
increased significantly beginning in 2024. Applicable rates were 4.93% in 2024,
4.93% in 2025, and 4.08% in 2026.
25,000 is added for higher-than-budgeted write-offs of uncollectible utility
accounts. A single account written off in January 2026 totaled approximately
45,000, exceeding the original annual budget of $25,000.
66,000 is added for the SpryPoint Utility Billing Implementation Project to cover
project management consulting, staff overtime, and customer communications
for the 11,820 utility customers.
Capital Project:
377,720 is appropriated for the purchase of five IntelliRupters to support wildfire
mitigation and improve electric system reliability. This project is funded through a
transfer from the General Fund.
Water Fund: Decrease of $352,948
The Bureau Area Phase 4 capital project (WTBRP4) has been completed under
budget, resulting in project savings of $386,948, which will remain in fund
balance.
An additional $34,000 is budgeted for the Water Fund's share of the SpryPoint
Utility Billing Implementation Project to support project management consulting,
staff overtime, and customer communications.
Fleet Maintenance Fund: Increase of $406,422
58,000 is appropriated to complete a Fleet Utilization Study, funded from
available Fleet Fund reserves. The study will evaluate the size, composition, and
utilization of the Town's vehicle fleet to support future replacement planning.
346,422 is appropriated to accurately budget expenses associated with vehicle
parts purchases under the new Tyler ERP work order process, which was
implemented in January 2026. Under the new system, the Fleet Fund initially
records all parts purchases and subsequently bills the benefiting departments. A
corresponding increase in interdepartmental revenue is included in this
amendment.
Vehicle Replacement Fund: Increase of $100,000
A transfer from the General Fund will provide a one-time catch-up contribution to the
Vehicle Replacement Fund to reflect higher replacement costs for the Town's non-utility
fleet. Vehicle and equipment costs have increased by approximately 30% since 2020.
Facility Management Fund: Increase of $160,000
A transfer from the General fund will provide for the additional repairs and maintenance
of aging Town facilities, including roofing, flooring and carpet replacement.
Advantages:
Town will continue to operate In compliance with statutory requirements
regarding municipal budget law
Proposed projects can continue as planned
Hiring of staff for donation-specific purpose
Disadvantages:
Use of these funds will expend the Town’s accumulated reserves, reduce future
investment income and possibly limit future flexibility. However, appropriations do not go
below the designated percentage reserves as specified in Policy 601.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends approval of the 2026 supplemental budget appropriation #2
resolution.
Finance/Resource Impact:
After reflecting this budget amendment, the General Fund reserves are projected at
36.4% of 2026 operating expenditures:
Level of Public Interest:
Minimal. No comments received or expected.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Resolution 90-26 appropriating additional sums of
money for the Town of Estes Park for the budget year ended December 31, 2026.
Attachments:

Understanding (MOU) with the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District (EVRPD) for
the purposes of coordinating efforts for respective paving needs, and approval of a

Present Situation:
Coulson is under contract with the Town for the 2026 Overlay and Patching project,
which includes curb, gutter, and trail work along Community Drive between Manford
Avenue and N St. Vrain Avenue (US 36). The EVRPD planned parking lot
improvements at Stanley Park which include concrete and asphalt paving. To
streamline the projects, and ensure uniform progression without overlapping conflicts,
the MOU will establish the EVRPD work to be performed by the Town’s contractor
under the 2026 Overlay and Patching contract.
Proposal:
Public Works staff recommend Town Board approval of the MOU with EVRPD and
change order with Coulson. Engineering staff will work with EVRPD staff to monitor and
inspect construction activities to ensure a satisfactory product for the parking lot.
Advantages:

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
From: Dan Kramer, Town Attorney
Date: July 28, 2026
Subject: Rescheduling the June 22, 2027 Town Board Meeting to June 29, 2027
Type: Other: Administrative
Objective:
Reschedule the June 22, 2027 Town Board Meeting to June 29, 2027.
Present Situation:
The 2027 Colorado Municipal League Annual Conference is scheduled for June 22-25,
2027, in Keystone. The conference provides unparalleled opportunities for Town Board
members to learn about the issues facing cities and towns across the state and make
connections with other municipal leaders. Unfortunately, the conference tends to
conflict each year with the second Board meeting in June, making attendance difficult
and contributing to declining Town attendance over the years. Many municipalities
simply cancel their conflicting meetings to attend the conference.
Proposal:
Fortunately, there are five Tuesdays in June of 2027. The Board can cancel the June
22 regular meeting, and the Mayor can call a June 29 special meeting, without
disrupting the timely flow of agenda items coming to the Board. The special Board
meeting would function as a typical meeting. After the conference, the Board can
debrief the conference and consider attendance in future years.
Advantages:
Board members will have a more realistic option of attending a conference which they
may find to be of meaningful value to the community.
Disadvantages:
The Town Clerk’s Office and the Public Information Officer would have to communicate
the schedule change to Town staff and the public.
Action Recommended:
Approve the rescheduling, which will act to cancel the regular meeting and, with the
Mayor’s assent, will also constitute calling the special meeting.
Finance/Resource Impact:
None.
Level of Public Interest:
Low: mainly the interest in knowing when the meeting will occur.
Sample Motion:
I move to reschedule the June 22, 2027 Town Board meeting to June 29, 2027.
