NEW BUSINESS
Dinner Theatre Study
Upon Staff recommendation in a memo dated October 15, 1985, it was
moved and seconded (Pohl-Pauley) that Resolution No. 41 be adopted,
entitled "EPURA Approving an Agreement with Browne, Bortz &
Coddington, Inc. to Conduct a Market Analysis and Financial
Feasibility Study for a Dinner Theatre to be Located in the Area
Identified in the Urban Renewal Plan as the Confluence Development
Area in Estes Park, Colorado".
Commissioner Hill stated he would like to see more information, such
as the BBC proposal, before voting and felt it was premature to
conduct such a study when the Dark Horse Plaza project is not yet
finalized. Director Anderson stated that this study is needed in
order to proceed in negotiations with the developer, in that the
developer is still very much interested in Dark Horse Plaza and
feels a dinner theatre could be a very important part of this
project. Commissioner Moss stated that after discussions with the
Town Board, EPURA Board and the Development Committee, it was
determined that this is an important project which the Plan
indicates is the cornerstone of the urban renewal downtown
development program, and, that it will signal the renaissance of
Estes Park. EPURA is attempting to proceed cautiously and
responsibly — this study is one tool which can be used to
accomplish this effort. After further comments and questions from
the Board, the motion was carried 5-1 with Commissioner Hill
dissenting.

Plan are due in the EPURA office on October 18, 1985 by 5:00 p.m.
