NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK,COLORADO:
Based upon the testimony and evidence presented at the
public hearing,the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park
hereby makes the following findings of fact:
A.The plan provides that the area of the proposed devel
opment is designated for Community—Commercial Center use.Said
areas should contain uses for the residents and visitors on a
year—round basis.The proposed development is a seasonal amuse
ment use which is not a year—round use of the property.
B.The plan requires preservation and improvement of the
river corridor and its related natural environments.There is
evidence that the river corridor will be negatively impacted by
noise,light,and fumes caused by the go—cart track.These
negative aspects are not mitigated by the amount of landscaping
and screening proposed by the developer.
C.The plan states that the entry development should not
intrude into the surrounding open space.The proposed Outdoor
Amusement will visually intrude onto the open space and the river
corridor which is the west entry to Downtown Estes Park.
D.The plan states that the development of property shall
be sensitive to and protect surrounding areas.The proposed
Outdoor Amusement will have a significant negative visual,
auditory and an aesthetic impact upon the surrounding residential
and commercial areas,the river corridor area and the surrounding
open space.
E.The plan directs EPURA to encourage and promote
year—round type development in and near downtown Estes Park.The
proposed Outdoor Amusement is seasonal in nature.
F.The plan states that the Estes Park area has an image
problem with many tourist amusements and inefficient utilization
of developable land.The proposed development does not improve

the image quality of the community and is an inefficient
utilization of prime land,especially with regard to the river
corridor and west entry to the downtown area.
Based upon the above findings of fact,the Board of Trustees
hereby finds that:
1.The proposed Outdoor Amusement is not in compliance
with the plan.
2.The application for the proposed Outdoor Amusement on
Lots 5A and 9,Prospect Village Subdivision,Town of Estes Park,
Larimer County,Colorado,is hereby denied.
