Vice-Chair Levine called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m.
The following minutes reflect the order of the agenda and not necessarily the
chronological sequence.
1. CONSENT AGENDA
The minutes of the March 7, 2006 meeting.
It was moved and seconded (Newsom/Lynch) that the Consent Agenda be
approved, and the motion passed unanimously with one absent.
2. LOT 3. MARY’S LAKE SUBDIVISION. 2625 Mary’s Lake Road, Applicant: Don
Debev — Variance request from Estes Valley Development Code Section 4.4,
Table 4-5. to allow the decks of Units 10A and 10B to be located 0.4 feet from the
property line, to allow the decks of Units 11A and 11B to be located 8.4 feet from
the property line, and to allow the decks of Units 12A and 12B to be located 13
feet from the property line in lieu of the 15-foot side-yard setbacks required in
the A-Accommodations zoning district
Planner Chilcott reviewed the staff report. She stated this is a request to allow the
building and deck/patio on Units 10A and 10B to be iocated 0.4 feet from the side
property iine, to aiiow the deck/patio on Units 11A and 11B to be located 8.4 feet
from the side property line, and to allow the deck/patio on Units 12A and 12B to be
located 13 feet from the side property line. If approved these variances would allow
the unit owner to improve views from the units and would provide more options for
redesign of the proposed parking iot immediately to the west of these units.
There are special circumstances associated with this lot in that Units 10A through
12B border a narrow, non-buiidabie section of the adjacent lot (Lot 3B, Mary’s Lake
Replat) that is dedicated as a utility, slope and drainage easement. These two lots,
along with Lot 3A of the Mary’s Lake Replat, function as one iot in terms of site
design though Lot 3 is governed by a separate condominium unit owners association
than Lots 3A and 3B. If the Mary’s Lake Lodge Unit Owners’ Association (Lot 3) and
MLL-2 Association (Lots 3A & 3B) eventualiy merge, the shared lot lines could be
vacated and the proposed units would comply with the minimum required setback;
however this requires 100% approval of the unit owners. Currentiy 100% approval
cannot be obtained.
The essentiai character of the neighborhood wiii not be substantialiy altered and that
adjoining properties wiii not suffer a substantial detriment as a result of the variance.
The Mary’s Lake Lodge Owners’ Association president has submitted a letter stating
the Board supports the variance. The owners of 2800 Kiowa Trail are also
supportive of the variance.
