CITIZEN PARTICPATION
Jim Crain/1027 Pine Knoll Drive, Estes Park, Colorado was present to
address the Board regarding EPURA's proposed future development of
commercial space in the Dark Horse Plaza area. Mr. Crain stated
that, although the recently completed EPURA projects were needed by
the community, he voiced opposition to any commercial space ever
being developed in this area.
Commissioner Pohl explained EPURA's role in community redevelopment
and, in particular, the Dark Horse Plaza area. Chairman Phares
indicated that EPURA cannot say there will never be any commercial
development in this area. Mr. Crain suggested that it may be
necessary to amend the Plan. Chairman Phares stated this option is
always available.
Sue King, Estes Park, Colorado was present to address the issue of
pushcarts and, if allowed, would they be regulated. Commissioner
Pohl stated EPURA expects to submit suggested guidelines/regulations
for vendors to the Town Board.
STAFF
Director Anderson reported that Streetscape 3 is nearing completion

Representatives from EPURA and the Trail Gazette will meet with

progress of the sculpture to be placed at the Hwy. 34/36
intersection. According to Mr. Ostermiller, the Ram portion of the
intersection sculpture is expected to be completed and installed
during the month of August.
Director Anderson reported that a Request for Qualifications for a
river corridor general contractor was advertised in the Trail
Gazette and Daily Journal. Five firms have requested and been
mailed a copy of the RFQ package. Commissioner Ericson suggested
that when advertising future requests for qualifications, EPURA also
advertise in the Dodge Report.
There being no further business, the Chairman asked if there were
any objections for adjournment to executive session. There being no
objections, the meeting adjourned to executive session to discuss
property acquisition.
