Mayor Dannels opened a public hearing to consider an amendment to the Estes Park Downtown Redevelopment Program (Plan). Town Attorney White read the proposed resolution. EPURA Executive Director Anderson pre- sented a memorandum dated September 26th, with an accompanying photograph exhibit. Director Anderson reported he had conducted a "blight survey" on the proposed inclusion of approximately 20 acres bounded on the west by Stanley Avenue, the south by Dunraven Street, and Highway 7 on the east, including the U. S. Highway 36/State Highway 7 Intersection traffic islands. The legal requirements for the necessary finding of blight were clarified by Director Anderson as he noted existing conditions in the area. In a memorandum dated September 26, 1989, Director/Planner Stamey confirmed the Planning Commission found the proposed modification in conformance with the Estes Park Comprehensive Plan. Both memorandums were acknowledged and part of the record of these proceed- ings by reference thereto. Public testimony was given by: Jerry Knutson/911 Dunraven, who stated he was in favor of the conference center; however, he did not receive written notice of the proposed inclusion of his property into the EPURA Boundary, private meetings with the affected property owners were not conducted, how will EPURA affect the rights of the property owners (potential cloud on the property), and what is the benefit to those affected property owners to belong in the EPURA Boundary? Bill Watson, Jr., who questioned portions of the proposed resolution pertaining to eminent domain. Bill Watson, Sr., who questioned the procedure which would be followed should EPURA elect to acquire the property in question through eminent domain. Bus Schageman, who requested the Town clarify conditions of sale and purchase of property due to rumors and confusion surrounding this proposal, and relocation procedure. Zora Thorns, concerning increased traffic and economic impact. There being no further testimony, Mayor Dannels declared the public hearing closed. Mayor Dannels, Administrator Klaphake, and Attorney White responded to those issues raised, confirming the Town has no intention to purchase any of the affected property; a future Town Board could amend this decision; however, it could only do so under "friendly negotiation", or an additional Plan Amendment with associated public hearings. Paragraph #1 of the "First Modification To The Estes Park Redevelopment Program" was amended to read as follows: "area boundaries. The Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority shall not exercise its power of eminent domain to acquire any property within the area described on Exhibit A." Concerning traffic, Administrator Klaphake reported that funding for a traffic study for the entire area will be included in the 1990 Budget. Resolution 22-89.
