UNFINISHED BUSINESS;
Director Anderson presented a river corridor identification sign
package prepared by Weber Design. He noted a URA Plan guideline
which recommends use of signs/flags/banners.
Doug Bailard/owner of Mary's Lake Campground displayed a copy of
his campground's logo and noted the similarity. Although Mr.
Bailard has no legal problem with the Authority's use of Weber
Design's proposed logo, he felt the Board should be made aware of
the similarity.
Commissioner Hondius stated he favors use of riverwalk signs on
passageways leading to the river corridor, but is opposed to the
use of flags/banners.
Richard and Ann Barlow/Estes Park spoke in support of the sign
package.
Commissioner Godbolt expressed support for the river corridor
identification concept, but cautioned the Board against adding
anything that could be construed as urban clutter.
Commissioner Pohl noted the banner concept is a minor portion of
the project and would only be used in a limited capacity within
the Plaza and on the riverwalk.
Commissioner Hondius moved that signs on streetlights at
passageways to the riverwalk be presented to the Planning
Commission. The motion died for lack of a second.
Vice-Chairman Pauley recommended the entire sign package be
presented to the Planning Commission on June 19, whereupon it was
moved and seconded (Pohl-Ericson) that in keeping with the the URA
Plan, the entire river corridor identification package
be presented to the Planning Commission. Those voting Yes — Vice-
Chairman Pauley, Commissioners Ericson, Godbolt, Klaphake, Pohl.

STAFF;
Streetscape IV construction is proceeding despite recent heavy
rains. State Highway Department paving will begin Tuesday, June
20th. Streetlight fixtures will be installed beginning Wednesday,
June 21st. Brick work is presently being installed. The parking
lot will be graded as soon as the area is dry.
A severe fungus infestation on the aspen trees at the Highway 34/36
intersection sculpture island has prompted a recommendation to
spray the trees which have not been attacked, remove the infected
trees and replaced with a variety of trees so that the island will
not lose all trees to any one type of disease. Evergreens will be
replaced when available. The Town will purchase the trees and
contract a landscape firm to perform the work.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
Donna Heifner, Secretary
