BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO.RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority, August 24, 1994 - Page 3 Dark Horse Parking Lot configuration: Coiinnissioner Klaphake explained that additional dumpster locations are needed in this area. It was agreed these dumpsters would be placed in an end parking place along the center island, taking one parking space and causing the remaining spaces to be decreased in size. The Planning Commission Chairman voiced concerns about these proposed changes. It was explained that new parking lots are required to have 9 foot spaces but existing parking lots are grandfathered into the old regulations. After further consideration, it was determined that this trash enclosure location would lead to snowplow problems and fewer parking places. A new configuration was subsequently designed allowing the dumpsters to be placed next to the sidewalk leading from the parking lot to Park Theatre Mall along Rockwell Avenue. This will involve reducing the sidewalk width from 8 feet to 6 feet.
