ADJOURN AGENDA Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado, June 27, 2013 Minutes of a Regular meeting of the COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT / COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE of the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado. Meeting held in Town Hall in said Town of Estes Park on the 27th day of June, 2013. Committee: Chair Ericson, Trustees Elrod and Norris Attending: Chair Ericson, Trustees Elrod and Norris Also Attending: Town Administrator Lancaster, Director Winslow, Senior Planner Shirk, and Deputy Town Clerk Deats Absent: Assistant Town Administrator Richardson, Director Chilcott Chair Ericson called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. PUBLIC COMMENT. None. COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT. REPORTS. Reports provided for informational purposes and made a part of the proceedings. • Senior Center Report – Manager Mitchell reported that staff continues to receive positive feedback regarding the classes and programs offered at the Senior Center. She said a recent class presented by the Better Business Bureau highlighted safety tips for using the internet and avoiding internet scams. Trustee Norris requested that, with the recent increase in scams targeted at senior citizens, staff continue to address scams and inform citizens to contact the Police Department at 586-4000 if they have been a victim of a scam. • Fairgrounds and Events Report – Director Winslow reported that good weather made for a successful JazzFest this year, drawing crowds from the Front Range and the Estes Valley; approximately 500 people attended the Safety Fair; and attendance numbers were approximately 8,000 for the Wool Market with a fair amount of local participation. Upcoming new and returning events include Cowboy Mounted Shooting, Chuck Wagon Cookoff, Ranch Horse Versatility Show, Block Party, Rooftop Rodeo, Cowboy Sing-A-Longs, and the Performance Park concert series. Staff continues to work on scheduling for the US Pro Challenge Bicycle Race, which will ride through Estes Park on August 24th. Due to a change in scheduling for television coverage, bicyclists are expected to be riding through Estes Park between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Race planners are actively communicating with citizens and the business community regarding closures that will be in affect during the race. Construction of the stall-barn and multi-purpose event center (MPEC) is underway and staff is working closely with the contractor and show managers regarding the best utilization of the property during the construction projects. • Verbal Updates – o Shuttles – Shuttle Coordinator Wells reported that ridership for the first three days of operation increased 185% over last year, with a total of 2,528 riders. He said the trolley had 1,048 riders during its first weekend of operation and noted that a contest to name the trolley is underway. Contest entries may be submitted from July 1 – July 31st at namethetrolley@estes.org. Community Development / Community Services – June 27, 2013 – Page 2 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. REPORTS. Reports provided for informational purposes and made a part of the proceedings. • Sign Code Analysis & Recommended Updates – Don Elliot of Clarion Associates reported on an analysis of the Sign Code that was done at the request of Director Chilcott. As written, relevant information can be difficult to find within the Code and inconsistencies exist. Mr. Elliot commented that the Code is not out-of-date, however, it is difficult to use; he recommended a reorganized format that would include more tables and higher quality drawings and graphics for clarity and consistency; and a reworking of the special event signs, banners, and the Creative Sign sections of the Code which are long and wordy. He recommended removing as much content-based regulation from the Code as possible and adding timeframes for the issuance of sign permits as well as for the resolution of appeals related to sign permits. The Sign Code is currently contained within the Municipal Code, however, incorporating the Sign Code into the Development Code could provide for consistency and enforcement throughout the Estes Valley. Town Administrator Lancaster said he and Director Chilcott will discuss staffing and the option of hiring an outside firm to work on the reorganization of the Sign Code. • Comprehensive Plan Modernization – Senior Planner Shirk reported that the modernization of the Comprehensive Plan is underway with the main objective of removing obsolete references, updating statistical information, and reformatting to become technology-friendly by providing links and touch screen capabilities. He said that it is not the intent to change content or any policies contained within the Plan and provided the Committee with a timeline for completion of the project by the end of 2013. Trustee Elrod noted that language in the current Plan presumes the best use of Town-owned property located on Fish Hatchery Road. He proposed that comments regarding the presumptuous use of real estate be removed from the document. Public input is not critical at this stage in the modernization process, however once completed, public workshops to demonstrate how to use the new format may be in order. • Community Development Monthly Report – Building permits and inspections continue to increase with an average of 18 inspections being performed per day; and development activity is up with inquiries ranging from questions about small projects to full-blown development review questions. Planner Shirk noted that the Town does not have development review software and that the Town’s building permitting software is 14 years old. He said that Larimer County is in the process of updating their permitting, development review, and code compliance software and that discussion about partnering with the County on their new software package is underway. Chair Ericson requested a statistical report be provided to track building permit activity to include how many applications are received vs. how many permits are issued. Activity continues at the Courtyard property with the new owner correcting issues as they are discovered. A new electrical service panel has been installed in the restaurant, and units originally intended for long-term residential use will now be used as short-term rentals. Also, AT&T has erected temporary towers on Prospect Mountain and behind the Century Link building to help increase capacity in the area; the Medical Center is considering a parking lot expansion; and a new commercial building project was submitted for development review. Customer guides continue to be revised and updated based on feedback from the development review team. Chair Ericson asked about the approval process being proposed for the CVB parking structure. Town Administrator Lancaster said the process would involve joint scheduling to allow for concurrent rather than sequential reviews and would not require an adjustment to the current code. The process does not cut any corners, but would straighten out the timeframe for the parking structure project. Community Development / Community Services – June 27, 2013 – Page 3 The Committee requested that staff discuss the process with the Board in order to clear up any confusion that may exist about the proposed process. • Verbal Updates – o Code Compliance – Based on input from community meetings, staff is working on creating an effective code compliance program centered on education, outreach, and enforcement. Code Compliance Officer/Planner Kleisler reported that over the past several months staff has been meeting with the public in order to identify and prioritize community concerns which include vacation home rentals, weeds, the Sign Code, lighting standards, wildfire mitigation, and junk accumulation. He noted that code compliance is largely complaint driven at this time. He said a community weed pull was held recently in partnership with Rocky Mountain National Park, the Association for Responsible Development, and the Estes Land Stewardship Association with over a dozen people participating. Code Compliance Officer Kleisler recently traveled to Fort Collins to attend a demonstration of the new Energov software being purchased by Larimer County and mentioned earlier in the meeting. He said the software is internet-based and capable of managing everything from the smallest permit to complex subdivisions and rezoning. Trustee Norris asked that staff contact Eagle Rock School in regard to their eighth grade career day, suggesting that Code Compliance Officer Kleisler and Chief Building Official Birchfield consider participating to provide information to the students about careers in government, code compliance, and building safety. There being no further business, Chair Ericson adjourned the meeting at 9:33 a.m. Cynthia Deats, Deputy Town Clerk Community Services Memo To: Community Development/Community Services Committee Town Administrator Lancaster From: Derek Fortini, Museum Director and Curator of Exhibits Date: July 25, 2013 RE: Museum Quarterly Report Background: Attendance Highlights Month of May The Museum hosted the Estes Park Elementary School third grade classes at the Museum and the Hydroplant. This class was the first to receive the new book Tracks in Time produced by the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation Inc., Press. Each child had access to the children’s history book before the tours and the Curator of Education noticed a higher level of background knowledge, leading to fruitful discussions at the time of the children's Museum visits. Month of June The Museum partnered with the Estes Valley Library to host storytime at the Birch Cabin twice in June. The Curator of Education led a tour through the Birch cabin while Library staff read books and led a workshop at the top of the Knoll- Willows Open Space. The Museum also offered a downtown walking tour for the Visitor Center Ambassadors in an effort to strengthen their knowledge about local history and to learn about resources like the Places in Time walking tour map to share with visitors. Collection Highlights The Collections Inventory is nearly finished and the Deaccessioning Assistant position has been posted which will help finalize the collection refinement process. Considerable work has been done at the off-site facility (old Light and Power warehouse) to clean, organize, and stabilize the environment. The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation Inc., purchased four black and white photographs by Lyman Byxbe then donated them to the Museum. These are significant additions to the collection (specifically to the growing Lyman Byxbe collection) because photographs by Byxbe aren’t common. After some comparisons, it’s very likely that Byxbe used these photographs as studies for some of his artwork. Exhibits Ongoing Temporary Exhibits Beyond the Baldpate: The Photographic Works of Charles Mace will be on display in the National Park Service Headquarters Building on the Museum grounds from September 28, 2012 through September 8, 2013. Estes Park’s professional photographer Charles Mace spent a lifetime capturing images as a photojournalist. He freelanced for the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post, contributed to Life Magazine and the New York Times, and served as Signal Corps photographer during World War I. Some of the compelling images he captured cover the walls of the Baldpate Inn, which he helped his brother build in 1917. Join the Estes Park Museum for this unique opportunity to witness never-before-seen and newly-discovered images kept in private collections, including original glass plate slides, large format photograph reproductions, and some of Mace’s personal memorabilia, in Beyond the Baldpate: The Photographic Works of Charles Mace. Upcoming Exhibits The exhibit titled Sandzén in Estes Park, which was cancelled in 2012, has been put back on the schedule. Opening on September 27, 2013, this exciting exhibit will explore the career of artist Birger Sandzén and specif ically focus on his influence in the artists’ community within Estes Park. We have much support from the Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery (located in Kansas) and the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, who put on a large Sandzén exhibit in 2012. We are also contacting many private collectors who are excited about the show and willing to help with loans. Permanent Gallery Renovations The Park Theatre display is open for visitors and only needs a few finishing touches. We have had an excellent response from visitors that have experience the new display. We are hoping to digitize all the film movie reels in the collection in order to offer great scenes of historic al Estes Park. The setup for Stories Under the Stars is nearly complete with only a few more additions in the near future. Staff is working to on identifying which historical stories will be told through the push button message repeater. Even though the space is not open to the public, there has been an impressive positive response of the presentation of the display. Upcoming Programs July 31, 7-8 p.m., The Cheley Family – 93 Years of Dedication to Young People (Members of the Museum Friends Program). Don Cheley presents the inspiring Cheley history reaching back 93 years to the camp’s origin at Bear Lake. The Cheley mission states: “We build the lasting character and resiliency of young people, creating unique life experiences in a challenging and nurturing natural environment.” Listen as Cheley describes what his family’s dedication has meant to countless young lives and how their legacy continues for future generations. August 12, 8:45 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., Ken Jessen’s Rocky Mountain National Park Historic Tour (Tour). Join Kenneth Jessen, lecturer, tour guide, and author of more than 20 books on Colorado history for a tour of historic sites within Rocky Mountain National Park. Hop aboard a bus at the Estes Park Museum and begin the tour at the site of the Fall River Lodge continuing with a stop at the Convict Cabins along Fall River Road. Above Horseshoe Park, there will be a stop for a hike down to the Ashton homestead site in Little Horseshoe Park, and then the tour continues past Deer Ridge Junction to a stop at the Hupp homestead and grave sites. At the end of the Upper Beaver Meadows Road, a stop will be made with a hike to the Hondius ranch house site and diversion structure. The tour will end in Moraine Park with a walk over to the site of the complex of buildings that were Sprague’s Resort. The tour requires several short hikes for a total di stance of about a mile. Cost is $30 which covers transportation, National Park admission, and a guided tour. Participants must have adequate footwear and bring their own water and sack lunch. Tour is limited to 12 participants. Registration is required to participate and opens July 23. Contact Alicia Mittelman at 970-577-3762 or amittelman@estes.org. August 13, 7-8 p.m., The Grand Old Man of Estes Park: F. O. Stanley Revisited (Members of the Museum Friends Program). In 1999 Jim Pickering, Estes Park’s Historian Laureate, published a biography of automobile legend and Estes Park benefactor, Freelan Oscar Stanley. That book, Mr. Stanley of Estes Park, sold out both its hardcover and paperback editions. Now, thanks to th e Stanley Museum in Kingfield, Maine, Stanley’s birthplace, the paperback version is back in print. To mark the occasion, Jim Pickering will give a special talk in which he will offer a second look, fifteen years later, at the man who shaped so much of Estes Park’s early history and who remains a guiding presence even today. Copies of the new edition will be available for purchase and signing. Sponsored by the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. September 14, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., “Now” Tour (Tenth Annual Historic Tour). Return to the past and experience Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park just the way visitors did nearly a century ago, in the two decades after the 1915 National Park dedication. Following an illustrated talk by Historian Laureate Jim Pickering, board “touring” buses and embark on a day of historic exploration, visiting six sites with stops at a dozen more. That is the “now” portion of this two- part event (The “Then” program took place on June 29). Since many of the sites are in Rocky Mountain National Park, the actual tour is being held after roadwork in the National Park is completed. This tour is limited to 120 passengers. Participants will meet at the Museum at 9 a.m. for a slide show and informative talk by Pickering who will prepare participants for what they will see on the bus tour. The event includes refreshments, admission to Rocky Mountain National Park, transportation, a copy of the booklet This Was Estes Park, and a catered box lunch. Ticket prices are $75 for non-Museum Friends members and $65 for members of the Museum Friends.

Town Administrator Lancaster From: Teri Salerno, Visitor Services Manager Date: July 25, 2013 RE: Visitor Services Quarterly Report Second Quarter Visitor Center Traffic: The Visitor Center experienced a slight increase of .94% in foot traffic in April, May and June over the second quarter last year. In 2012, the center saw 101,192 people come through the doors, for an average of 1,124 people per day. This year 102,142 visitors came to the center during the second quarter, an average of 1,122 people each day. (Daily averages are calculated based on the number of days the Visitor Center is open during the quarter. Easter fell in the second quarter in 2012 and in the first quarter this year; Easter Day the VC is closed.) April was down 26.4%, which equals 3,920 less people; May was down 4.45%, which equals 1,387 fewer people, while June was up 11.35%, which equals 6,257 more people than in the same months in 2012. Overall the Visitor Center is slightly down 2.63% through June of this year, when compared to last year during the same time frame. In 2013, January through June, we saw 129,172 guests and in 2012, we saw 132,656. During the second quarter, Rocky Mountain National Park visitation similarly mirrored that of the EPVC. Both April and May were down, 30.5% and 2.35% respectively, while June was up 15.75%. In spite of being down during the first quarter, as was the EPVC, RMNP had such a strong increase in June (an increase of over 79,000 visitors) that it was significant enough to bring more total visitors in the first half of the year than during the same time frame last year, for a total increase at the mid-year point of 26,097 people. Community Services Memo EP Visitor Center Traffic 1st Qtr 2nd Qtr 3rd Qtr 4th Qtr Total 2013 27,030 102,142 129,172 2012 31,464 101,192 184,459 47,275 364,390 2011 32,960 100,558 212,458 55,716 401,692 2010 19,877 76,080 179,627 49,394 324,978 2009 21,492 78,442 164,098 37,807 301,839 2008 16,797 64,642 144,648 37,433 263,520 2007 18,060 68,195 158,669 31,116 276,040 2006 8,999 54,602 139,046 29,522 232,169 Second Quarter Telephone Calls: Visitor Services staff answered 20% less telephone calls during the second quarter of 2013 over the same time period in 2012. The Visitor Center received 4,087 calls April – June 2013, for an average of 45 calls per day, while in 2012 the call center received 5,112 calls, for an average of 57 calls per day. It is interesting to note that the calls were down 14.5% in April and May and spiked to 25% down in June; Visit Estes Park staff released their new website on June 5. More time may reveal more insight, but it is possible that the significant decrease in June was due to the launch of the new website early that month. Once again in 2013, this is the lowest number of calls received in the second quarter since 2006. Visitor Center Telephone Calls 1st Qtr 2nd Qtr 3rd Qtr 4th Qtr Total 2013 2,055 4,087 6,142 2012 2,357 5,112 6,368 2,341 7,469 2011 3,119 5,946 8,779 2,855 20,699 2010 3,934 7,162 9,772 3,224 24,092 2009 3,931 7,608 11,035 3,796 26,370 2008 3,538 6,615 10,122 3,281 23,556 2007 3,899 6,575 10,521 3,360 24,355 2006 3,891 6,127 9,298 3,002 22,318 Retail Sales Retail sales through the end of June total $9,536; this is nearly 24% less than last year’s sales of $12,536 received through June. Counts being down by nearly 3,500 guests during the first half of 2013 may factor in to why sales are down, but this cannot account for it all. Last year, DVD sales at the center began in July; therefore, it is interesting to note that the inclusion of the DVD sales for the first half of the year did not increase sales over last year at the mid-point. The biggest retail sales months at the Visitor Center are July – September; therefore, the third quarter can potentially have the greatest influence over how the sales will end up for the year. If Visitor Center counts remain strong during the third quarter, as they were in June, sales could surpass the total in 2012. It is still too early to make this call, with the busiest quarter yet to come. Total Retail Sales Revenue by year 2005 (in old Building) $17,675 2006 $39,299 2007 $43,554 2008 $36,485 2009 $42,582 2010 $40,175 2011 $39,192 2012 $34,499 2013 through June $9,536 Volunteer Ambassadors: The number of volunteer Ambassadors currently totals 62. In past years, the number of volunteers has usually hovered around 75 during this time of year. An organizational change was made in 2013 that has affected the total number of volunteers on the roster. In order to remain on the active roster, all volunteers must now work a shift at the center. In the past, some volunteers were allowed to stay on the roster and work as a substitute only, but this is no longer encouraged, nor is it generally a good practice. Over the years, as the landscape of providing information at the center has evolved, we have learned that in order to keep up with the increased variety of changing information at the center, it is imperative to be active as a volunteer by attending monthly meetings, trainings, and working regularly at the center. This has led the Visitor Services team to look at the volunteer position in a new way and create more stringent guidelines for the volunteer role at the Visitor Center. Over the same time the number of volunteers has decreased, the phone calls continue to lessen, allowing the Visitor Services staff to assist more at the front counter with guests. Having fewer volunteers has actually ended up as a positive, with the center changing focus to the front of the house and improving customer service to the walk-in guests. Staff is now providing the opportunity to spend more time out front, providing additional support to the volunteer Ambassadors and working harder to keep our lines moving, serving people faster. All of this results in better customer service for our guests. Visitor Center Hours of Operation: The Visitor Center hours of operation changed on Saturday, May 18: The center is now open Monday through Saturday, 8A – 8P and on Sunday, 8A – 6P. This is the first year for the center to open at 8A. In the first month and a half of these extended hours, 3,588 guests have visited during the hours of 8 – 9A. Budget: N/A Recommendation: None To: Community Development/Community Services Committee Administrator Lancaster Assistant Administrator Richardson From: Bo Winslow, Community Services Director Date: July 25, 2013 RE: Event Report Report: This is the time of the year when it is the busiest for the Events Department. Staff is working on many different events all at the same time; planning upcoming events, conducting current events and wrapping up past events. Rodeo was a great success this year with a record 540 contestants. Guest numbers are still being counted and it appears as though we had sell outs on Tuesday and Saturday. Hunter Jumper has moved in and the first week has all 400 stalls full. The next 3 weeks of the show seem to be off in numbers and staff is continuing to work with show managers to bring those numbers up. USPC bike race continues to keep everyone busy. Staff currently attends many meetings a week putting the details together for the event. Cowboy Brad Sing-A-Longs in Bond Park continue to be a great success with attendance over 100 each night. This event was put together in order to bring locals into the downtown area as well as offer our guest another thing to do in the evening. This event is mostly supported financially by local merchants with support from the Town as well. Red, White, and Cool was held on July 3. This event saw very small numbers and will be evaluated on whether or not it should continue. There was a significant rain storm as the event was starting; however staff feels as though the numbers would have been minimal anyway. Memo Community Services Page 1 of 1 To: Community Development/Community Services Committee Town Administrator Lancaster From: Alison Chilcott, Community Development Director Date: July 25, 2013 RE: Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan Modernization Background: Staff and the Planning Commission continue to work on the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan modernization with the goal of completing modernization by the end of 2013. Dave Shirk attended the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners land use work session on June 15th and reported on status. The Commissioners discussed the comprehensive plan and other Estes Valley items for about 30 minutes and expressed no concern with the ongoing modernization. On June 16th Planning Commission reviewed the latest draft of the modernized plan. A staff report presented to the Planning Commission on July 16th is attached summarizing status of work completed to date. The latest drafts can be reviewed at www.estes.org/ComprehensivePlan. At the July 25th Community Development/Community Services Committee meeting, staff will update the Committee on progress and obtain feedback from the Committee.

Review what we’ve done: Staff will review and ask for feedback on current drafts (see timeline below). To review the draft visit www.estes.org/ComprehensivePlan. Outline where we are going: Review and obtain feedback timeline below. Are we on track? Obtain Planning Commission input on essential matters: Staff will continue to ask — as we move forward, is there anything else from the Planning Commissioners perspective that staff must consider? What to Expect Moving Forward? This timeline will be refined monthly.

Six modernization options were considered and Option 2 (below) was selected. Option 2: Review and update facts, remove obsolete references, remove information that is no longer relevant What does this involve? Staff will prepare a work plan for review. Initial staff thoughts are to update the Economic Overview Chapter Three and Economic Profile Appendix One first, followed by an update of Land Use Chapter Four and Mobility and Circulation Chapter Five, etc. with periodic review by Planning Commission and Town Board. Because the facts and figures rather than long-term vision is being updated, public input would occur at regular meetings only. This is a way forward that involves minimal cost. Staff will draft the update. The 2013 draft budget includes funds for a consultant to assist with the 2010 census analysis. Page 3 What has been accomplished since Option 2 was selected? As directed, staff continues to work on Option 2 to modernize the Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan , presenting drafts monthly for review and comment. As modernization progresses, staff will present drafts Town Board of Trustees and Larimer County Board of County Commissioners frequently. June/July  Continued to work on GIS, completed a significant portion Chapter 6 modernization for Planning Commission review. Portions of Chapter 6 were presented and feed back obtained in prior meetings.  Staff discussed the modernization at a July 12 Association for Responsible Development. An ARD member suggested maintaining a document that describes what has been modernized and why. Staff will implement this suggestion.  Letter of Introduction o Planning Commission members have drafted and reviewed via email.  Land Use o Worked with Larimer County to obtain “Abstract Data” for each parcel in the Estes Valley. This data codes each parcel with various land use codes, such as “single family”, “Vacant” and “Lodging.” o Staff used this data to update the land uses for each planning neighborhood and the Valley at-large. o The Town’s G.I.S. consultant is working to create a map showing vacant parcels in the Valley, which will be included in the final report.  Community-Wide Plans o Staff have edited the text and added figures to exemplify specific topics in the chapter. o More photos and figures need to be added.  Neighborhood Plans o Staff edited the text and added land use figures and images. o The Town’s G.I.S. consultant is updating the neighborhood maps to show points of interest and mountaintop elevations. o Some text and figures will change and staff continues work on each neighborhood plan.  Action Plan o Action Plan tables were reformatted to include the status of each project. o Staff continues to edit the text to remove obsolete references and make more concise. Page 4 April/May  Purchased the Adobe Creative Suite, including InDesign, for Dave Shirk and Phil Kleisler. Established plan template in InDesign. Final document will be formatted for use on Windows and Apple computers, including I-Pads. Made contact with BBC Consultants, a consulting group that has worked with the Town for many years, to update census information. Met with Slate Communications about infographics, worked with Jill Fischer on GIS updates to incorporate in the plan, continued modernizing Chapter 6 Community-Wide Policies. January-March  Researched other comprehensive plans. Presented a modernization outline describing format and design, and obtained positive feedback from Planning Commission (outline attached). Initiated conversations with Visit Estes Park about use of Visit Estes Park professional photos and incorporating the Brand Strategy into the design. Initiated conversations with Partners for Commerce about use of graphics from the Partners for Commerce report and obtained approval to use those graphics. Initiated conversations with Amy Lane with Basis Architecture and Slate Communications, for assistance with data visualization and infographics.  Facilitator, Guy Cornelius, kept us focused on the big picture at the March study session meeting, helped staff listen to your input, and help us move forward to achieve the goal of a modernized plan by the end of 2013. Meeting notes summarizing agreements were distributed by staff. Agreements included, but were not limited to: o Agreed that staff would do the work in manageable chunks with Commission review. o Agreed concise is good o Agreed plan will be internet-navigable. o Staff and the Commission will keep track of topics and plan elements as we execute Option 2 for further consideration by the Commission and elected officials.

Building permit reports are attached. Year-to-date number of permits issued is the same as last year; however, valuation is up 17% and fees collected are up 14%. The Multi Purpose Event Center (MPEC), valued at $3.8 million, and Stall Barns, valued at $1.5 million, are significant projects that are not listed on building permit reports. The permits have been issued; however, projects aren’t listed on the report until fees are paid. Light and Power and Water fees have been deferred pending a report from staff and decision by Trustees about how to handle fees. 9 Permit Applications. Senior Building Permit Technician Charlie Phillips provides a weekly status report to review agencies on applications pending plan review and approval. Currently 10 permits are pending. All but a couple require additional information from the applicant prior to approval. 9 Courtyard Shops. Restaurant remodel is continuing with final inspections during the week of July 15th. Inspections will be provided for the short-term residential units (stays of 30 days or less) when requested. Construction of the riser room and fire line is underway and sprinkler and alarm plans have been submitted to the Fire District for review. Progress continues. ADDRESSING: Enhance public safety through the easy and rapid location of properties by law enforcement, fire, rescue, and emergency medical personnel within the Town of Estes Park. 9 No update.

Will Birchfield requested a Community Assistance Visit, which occurred on June 16th with Michael Gease from FEMA and Jamie Prochno from the Colorado Water Conservation Board. The purpose of the visit was to discuss needed changes to the Town floodplain ordinance, participation in the FEMA Community Rating System which lowers flood insurance rates, to develop a good understanding Biggert- Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act, and discuss the Rocky Mountain Performing Arts Center (EPIC proposal) which involves floodplain revisions. Will Birchfield will report on floodplain management in August. 9 Training. Will Birchfield is attending training on July 25th and 26th on the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) revision process. Training is required to maintain Floodplain Manager certifications. SIGNAGE: Protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public by (1) ensuring the signage is safe and (2) is compatible with adjacent land uses and the total visual environment of the Estes Valley. 9 Sign Code Revisions. Staff met with Terry Gilbert, Larimer County Community Development Director to discuss the possibility of a joint Estes Valley sign code. Community Development administers two different sign codes, the Town Sign Code within Town limits and the County Sign Code in the unincorporated Estes Valley. Larimer County staff will assist with a comparison of Town and County codes this fall. ESTES VALLEY LONG RANGE MASTER PLANNING: Create more convenient, equitable, healthy, efficient, and attractive places for present and future generations. Articulate a desired future to inform decision- making today. 9 Comprehensive Plan Modernization. Staff and the Estes Valley Planning Commission continue to work on Comprehensive Plan modernization.
