Mayor Dekker explained that the proposed Ordinance Will be discussed, with final presentation at the June 11 Board meeting. Administrator Klaphake explained the origin of the Ordinance. Trustee Marshall suggested the Ordinance include the prohibition of self-serve displays and violation penalties. Town Attorney White explained that penalties are administered by the Board of Trustees - May 28, 1996 - Page 3 Municipal Court Judge. Trustee Doylen suggested the Ordinance include: clerks be 18 or older to sell cigarettes, vending machines be banned, and a no-cost cigarette vendor license be considered. Administrator Klaphake noted that a licensing system could be established, but could only be enforced within Town limits. Trustee Baudek stated that police enforcement would endanger the camaraderie between the police and the minors, and questioned if this Ordinance applied to private property. Attorney White explained that the ban could only be enforced on public property. Mayor Dekker opened the Public Hearing. Mike Miller, 585 Audobon St., agreed with the Ordinance as written, adding that it would provide retailer motivation to ban sales to minors without prohibiting self- serve displays, which could cause financial hardship for the retailer and infringe upon the adult population. Catherine Speer, 1861 Davis Dr., commended Mike Miller for his leadership, and agreed with Alice Gray, 1111 Golf Club Cir., that self-serve displays should be removed, adding that 44% of the youth smokers admitted to stealing cigarettes from self- serve displays. Dr. John Cooper, 838 Panorama Circle, explained that smoking is a disease of children, noting that 90% get "hooked" before 19. Dr. Joe Mahr, 180 Centennial Dr., added that controlling minor's smoking now will reduce the public health problems and costs in the future. Barb Wahl, 2001 S. Morris Ct., explained that the removal of self-serve displays would not cause a financial threat to the retailer as the tobacco industry pays promotional fees for those displays, and removing the ability to shoplift will balance the relocation costs. Leroy Cedar, 1085 Marys Lake Rd., requested a ban on vending machines, as these machines are the major source of cigarettes for minors. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Dekker closed the Public Hearing. Trustee Doylen reported that a Phillip Morris newspaper ad agreed with minor smoking regulations and with the possibility of banning vending machines. Trustee Baudek requested retailers attend the next meeting to explain the need for self-serve displays. After further discussion, Administrator Klaphake verified that draft two of the Ordinance will include the prohibition of self-serve displays and the requirement that clerks be 18 or older to sell cigarettes. Attorney White noted that state statute does not ban possession of tobacco products. Trustee Hix suggested the Board lobby the state representatives to include a ban on tobacco possession. 6. Special Events Liquor Application filed by the Town of Estes Park, 225 E. Elkhorn Avenue, for event scheduled June 12, 1996 (Friends of Bernie). Administrator Klaphake explained that Bond Park will be fenced and policed during the Friends of Bernie celebration on June 12, and beer will be dispensed and sold by the local brewery. It was moved and seconded (Doylen- Marshall) the Special Events Liquor Application filed by the Town of Estes Park for the Friends of Bernie celebration be approved, and it passed unanimously. 7. Legislative Update. Attorney White reported on the recently- enacted state bills having local impact. SB 214, Concealed Weapons: Allows the Police Chief to issue concealed weapons permits to local residents. HB 1119, Municipal Planning: Allows the formation of a joint planning commission. Attorney White thanked Senator Matsunaka, Representative Kaufman, Commissioner Disney, Mayor Dekker, ex-Mayor Dannels, Mayor Pro Tem Doylen, Administrator Klaphake, and Bill Van Horn for their representation of this bill.

An existing drainage culvert, which has historically negatively impacted the adjacent land owner needs to be cleaned and maintained. Discussion followed concerning the measurement of. finish grade around Building "C", and staff confirmed that judgement is involved in interpreting the ordinance; however, staff has determined there is no easy solution to lowering the height of the units. Van Horn commented that the average height of the building is measured from finished grade, and the wall is not a part of building, it is a landscaping element. The wall will be most visible from the south, and Van Horn indicated that the wall is not intended to dominate the area. Further discussion followed concerning the building height, finished r grade, interpretation of a visual element, landscaping can be placed between the wall and building for screening, the negative aesthetic impact of the use of pillars, construction materials for the wall which includes a stone veneer matched as closely as possible to the existing rock wall, and an additional concern that the note on the plan be changed from 24" caliper Aspen to 2%" diameter Aspen. Van Horn confirmed this last item will be corrected on the plat. There were no comments from the audience. It was moved and seconded (Pohl/A. Hix) Special Review #95-4 for Lots 7, 8, 25 and a Portion of Lot 24, Block 10, Town of Estes Park be favorably recommended to the Board of Trustees contingent upon the following, and it passed unanimously: 1.

PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO THIS DAY OF ; 1996. TOWN OF ESTES PARK BY: Mayor ATTEST: Town Clerk I hereby certify that the above Ordinance was introduced and read at a meeting of the Board of Trustees on the day of , 1996, and published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Estes Park, Colorado on the . day of , 1996. Town Clerk TOTAL P.04 |~/ NATIONAL PARK VILLAGE Deer Ridge, Inc. The Honorable Robert Dekker Town Board of Trustees Town of Estes Park 170 MacGregor Avenue Estes Park, CO June 10, 1996 Dear Mayor Dekker and Trustees: I am writing today to express my concerns regarding the revised tobacco ordinace being proposed for the town of Estes Park. First, let me say that as a retailer, parent and community member I fully support the letter and intent of the majority of the proposed ordinance. While I am committed to the same ultimate goal as the board, I would like to emphasize that there are some practical considerations that I feel need to be evaluated in conjunction with the day to day operations of local businesses which will be most affected by elements of this proposal. I hope that you will consider the impact your actions will have on retailers and their legitimate customers. In my circumstance the inclusion of Section 8.12.060 B will have a significant negative financial impact on my business. The suggestions that the lost sales and promotional fees will in some fashion be offset by presumed losses from shop lifting is absurd. I believe that the determination as to the level of theft expense of any product and how to address it should lie with the business entity who is suffering that financial loss, as with any other business decision. In addition, this requirement would demand a major restructureing in my facility. Currently, we have 14 running feet by 6 feet tall of self service display and inventory involving tobacco products. This has been our general mode of operation since our inception in 1978. To be frank we do not have 84 square feet of supervised space not currently in use. Consequently, I must look to what other portions of my business I must reduce or alleviate in order to maintain a tobacco product inventory which we have deemed appropriate. Additional staffing in order to facilitate this means of sales is another cost which will be incurred in order to comply We have programs in place to prevent underage sales. We have stepped up efforts to educate and train our sales clerks about existing laws, giving them reminders which trigger ID checks, putting up additional minimum -age signage and placing tobacco products in highly monitored areas of the store. I would gladly welcome any efforts by the local police to help enforce the law and prevent the theft of my merchandise. I DON'T want minors to smoke. While I heartily agree that this is an issue of extreme importance, I do not believe 900 Moraine Avenue • Estes Park, Colorado 80517 • (970) 586-2702 . we should be unfairly and unnecessarily punished for the sale of a. legal product. Our adult customers who choose to smoke should be able to conveniently purchase tobacco products, like other age-resticted products. Adult customers should be able to find the products they are seeking on shelves, comparably displayed in a convenient location, under the direct supervision of an adult clerk. For your consideration regarding the rest of the proposal. I believe that it would be highly appropriate to mandate inclusion of parent and/or guardian in any court action taken regarding the unlawful possession or use of tabacco products by minors. This inclusion of those who should be responcible for the minors involved would seem to be a productive measure. I would also ask that you consider placing the theft of tobacco products by minors at a higher level of consequence than simply that of their retail value. It is my hope that this initiative will leave room for reasonable, workable and cooperative efforts to achieve our mutual goals. I would like to offer my business perspective to the board in pursuing these objectives. I firmly believe all interested parties can come to a satisfactory agreement to stop minors' use and possession of tobacco products, and stop the sale of tobacco products to minors. I recognize that decisions and choices such as these are not easily made. It is my hope that you will accept the commitment of this portion of your retail community to work in partnership with you in efforts to keep tobacco products out of the hands of minors. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerly y»uis, 6/14 LOLL> Jt Scott Webermeier _Nalional Park Village P.S. Should you opt for inclusion of Section 8.12.060 B I would ask that a date more sensitive to the seasonal nature of our businesses be considered for immplementation. .
