Mayor and Trustees thanked the Housing Authority for their efforts in providing our community with affordable housing options. 3. NET METERING POLICY. Utilities Director Goehring reviewed Amendment 37 that requires Colorado utilities with 40,000 customers or more to generate or purchase 10% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2015 and establishes a standard rebate offer for solar electricity generation equipment and a state-wide net metering system. The Town is not subject to the Amendment; however, due to concerns raised by the community, the Light and Power Department has researched net metering rates. The Town has worked closely with the City of Loveland to develop a cost neutral net metering rate that allows the customer/generator to sell back to the utility any excess generation at the avoided cost rather than the full retail rate. The proposed program does not offer incentives for the addition of renewable energy equipment. The net metering rates would change according to future rate increases from PRPA. RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL Base Charge $4.36 $7.91 kWh charge from utility $0.0863 $0.0857 kWh buyback paid to customer $0.0220 $0.0210 Mayor Pro Tem Pinkham questioned if Platte River Power Authority, PRPA, purchases solar power as part of it energy sources. Mayor Baudek reviewed the energy sources used by PRPA stating'solar is cost prohibitive at this time. Public comment was heard in favor of the policy by Tom Street/Allenspark, Dave Rusk/2283 Eagle Cliff Road, Thomas Beck, and Jim Tawney/1820 Fall River Road. They also encouraged the Board to include incentives and make alternative energy sources affordable. Board of Trustees - October 23,2007 - Page 5 Todd Plummer/556 Aspen Avenue spoke in favor and stated the policy is generous and allows the Town's distribution system to act as the generators' battery backup. He suggested the solar power generators be paid a surcharge similar to the wind energy surcharge. Mike Mangelsen/Light and Power stated the federal government is offering $2,000 tax incentives through December 2008 for the purchase of renewable energy products, i.e. solar panels. The Board supports the rate structure as presented and requested staff prepare a net metering policy to be reviewed by Committee. 4. TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVE STUDY. Item continued to the November 27th Town Board meeting. 5. 3RD QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT. Finance Officer McFarland reviewed General Fund, Enterprise Funds, Sales Tax and Investments. Funds are operating near anticipated rates and sales tax continues to increase for the year. Investments are increasing due to sales tax volume. 6. PUBLIC HEARING - 2008-2010 ELECTRIC RATE INCREASE - ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE #20- 07. Utilities Director Goehring reviewed the Light and Power Department Financial Plan completed by HDR Engineering and presented to the Utilities Committee in January 2007. The plan recommends rate increases of 2.5% for each consecutive year from 2008-2013 with a cumulative increase of 15.97%. The rate increase would fund the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) through 2013 and includes the Mary's Lake Substation expansion, increasing the substation from 20 MW to 50 MW, and the distribution system to improve and ensure electrical system redundancy and reliability. Staff recommends increasing the electric rate 2.5% for 2008, 2009, and 2010 and proceeding with the CIP as presented. The Financial Plan and the CIP will be updated in 2010 to establish if additional rate increases are needed. Mike Dahl/PRPA reviewed the upgrades needed at the Mary's Lake substation and the new distribution system that will provide redundancy to the Estes Valley. Attorney White read the Ordinance into the record. After further discussion, it was moved and seconded (Newsom/Eisenlauer) to approve Ordinance #20- 07 to increase electric rates by 2.5% for 2008, 2009 and 2010, and it passed unanimously. 7. ORDINANCE #21-07 - LIGHT AND POWER - APPROVING BOND ORDINANCE FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT THE MARY'S LAKE SUBSTATION. Town Attorney White stated the Town, acting through its Light and Power Enterprise, is beginning the process of upgrading the Mary's Lake Substation and rebuilding portions of its major distribution lines. The proceeds from the sale of the Light and Power Revenue Bonds, Series 2007, will finance this work. The Bonds are revenue bonds payable solely from revenue of the Light and Power Enterprise, are not a general obligation debt to the Town, and do not pledge or encumber any other revenues or property of the Town. Ordinance 21-07 authorizes the issuance of the Bonds. The financial parameters of the Bonds are as follows: 1) principle amount not to exceed $6.5 million; 2) interest rate not to exceed 5.25%; 3) term of the bonds not to exceed 20 years; 4) maximum annual debt services not to exceed $525,000. The Board of Trustees - October 23,2007 - Page 6 Bond Ordinance authorizes the Mayor, Town Administrator or Town Finance Officer to make the final determination of the parameters as long as they are not exceeded. The actual determination will depend on market conditions and timing. It is anticipated that the Bonds will be finalized, issued, and sold in December 2007 through an online auction. The Ordinance also sets forth the requirements for the issuance, security and payment of the Bonds. After further discussion, it was moved and seconded (Levine/Blackhurst) to approve Ordinance 21-07 for the issuance of Revenue Bonds and all subsequent budgets for the Light and Power Enterprise shall be required to budget from revenues received by the Light and Power Enterprise sufficient funds to pay the debt service on the Bonds, and it passed unanimously. 8.

Revenue is reflected in the Police Department budget. • Museum - Revenue sources include federal and state grants, charge for services, miscellaneous income for facility rentals, donations and interest, and contributions from the Friends of the Museum Foundation. Request to increase curator of education position to fulltime from a .75 FTE, eliminate a 147-hour seasonal position at the hydro plant site, new street sign at Hwy 36 and 4~h, training increased, $11,000 to update the permanent exhibit gallery, and retain fund balance for use in 2009 to match a federal grant to digitize the Museum's photograph collection. • Senior Center - Revenue sources include County Commissioner grant, United Way grant, charges for services, classes and programs, miscellaneous facility rentals, fundraising, donations, and contributions from Estes Park Senior Center, Inc. The 2008 meal price increase will go directly to the meal service contractor Catering for all Occasions. A reduction in the miscellaneous revenue from EPSC, Inc. is related to the redesign of supported projects for 2008 and it is anticipated other projects or needs will be supported as the year progresses. Personnel increases are due to an increase in insurance premiums only. O&M is decreasing and includes a reduction in the food service costs. The Senior Center van is not included in the vehicle replacement fund as it was purchased by EPSC, Inc. • CVB - Administrator Repola provided an overview of the CVB fund stating it is a Special Revenue fund subsidized by the General Fund. Revenues and expenses have increased in the last three years with 0&M the largest component of the budget. Staff will confirm money has been budgeted for the completion of the CVB landscaping in 2008. Director Pickering stated the O&M for 2008 is 2% less than the 2007 budget. The transfer to the CVB fund from the General Fund is budgeted to increase $25,000. The Departments' goal is to reduce operating expenses through improved efficiencies while increasing revenues. * Communications - O&M is increasing due to the cost of media. Downloads for visitor guides is increasing; however, the visitor guide mailings to statewide visitor centers are very important. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town Board Budget Study Session - October 19, 2007 - Page 2 * Visitor Center - O&M is down as efficiencies are being discovered. Personnel expense increased due to commissions being added to compensation. A discussion ensued regarding a significant reduction in web maintenance. Trustee Blackhurst and Pinkham expressed concern with the significant reduction to web maintenance as the CVB increasingly relies on the web to disseminate information to the public. Ad production costs include the ads for the shuttle buses and an accommodation board for the visitor center in 2008. Trustee Levine expressed concern with a decrease in the training budget and would encourage the department to send staff to appropriate training. "Ambassador Club expenses" will be updated to read "Ambassador expenses." + Group Sales and Marketing - O&M is down from 2007 due to the remodeling of the Conference Center this year; however, printing forms is up as new brochures are required for the center. * Special Events - Revenues and O&M are projected to increase in 2008. Staff continues to replace equipment gradually overtime. Staff will provide the Community Development Committee with an update on the 2007 special events to specifically address the benefit to the Town. * Conference Center - The final lease payment is due in 2008. Staff will verify if the $21,000 budgeted as miscellaneous, Holiday Inn lease, is related to property tax or the bond payment. 0&M will decrease significantly from 2007 due to the remodeling of the center. Trustee Levine requested the number of visitors, Internet hits, conferences, special event attendance etc. be included in the scope of services at the top of each executive summary page. Staff will develop a method to incorporate the metrics associated with the scope of services into the executive summary. Mayor Baudek announced a 10-minute recess at 10:10 a.m., and the meeting was reconvened at 10:10 a.m. • Transportation - 2008 will be the final year of a three year test pilot for the shuttle system. The base service will remain at the same level with some adjustments made to the hours of operation. A discussion followed on hours of operation: the Park and Town shuttles should have the same calendar days of operation and not necessarily the same hours of operation, hotel route should maintain the same hours; brown route to be altered in 2008; 11.6% increase on brown route with the inclusion of the YMCA; evaluate the use trends and have a community presentation to discuss success and alternatives to the shuttles; investigate other shuttle companies. Staff will bring options to the Community Development Committee in August of 2008. • Community Reinvestment - O&M includes $50,000 for the engineering related to the new Stanley Fairground barn. Conference Center lease will be renamed Conference Center payment. Capital includes $3.5 million for the barn and $600,000 for the performing art center site preparation at the Stanley Fairgrounds, contingent upon the sell of Lot 4, Stanley Historic District. Trustees questioned where the money for site prep would come from if the closing on Lot 4, SHD was not realized and SOPA has raised the necessary funds. The Town would find necessary funds if the scenario arises. Finance Officer McFarland stated the debt coverage on a 10 year loan for the construction of the barn would be approximately $330,000/year with construction interest of $121,000. • Conservation Trust - Revenues are from State lottery revenues. Arbor Day tree replacement is budgeted at $12,012 to maintain the Town's Tree City designation. Staff will verify if funds have been budgeted for picnic tables in Bond Park and benches along Elkhorn Avenue. . RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town Board Budget Study Session - October 19, 2007 - Page 3 • Open Space - The .25% sales tax share from Larimer County is estimated at $240,000 for 2008. The Fall River Trail to Castle Mountain Lodge is the only project scheduled for this fund in 2008. • Police - Administrator Repola provided an overview of the Police Department budget stating personnel is the largest portion. The department was able to absorb the costs of the Code Enforcement Officer with no new appropriations and will end the year close to actual personnel costs. The Animal Control Officer position, a .75 FTE, will be eliminated in 2008 and added to the duties of the Code Enforcement Officer. The Community Services fund was added in 2007 and includes none traditional police services such as Restorative Justice, Auxiliary Police, SRO, CSOs and the Code Enforcement Officer that has increased efficiency from the management level. Community Services will purchase a used police car from the Fleet Department with grant funds for the Auxiliary Police. Discussion was heard on a centralized dispatch center and the possibility of partial coverage during midnight to 4:00 a.m. An IGA for SRO services between the Park R-3 School District is being prepared for partial reimbursement during the 2008-2009 school year.

The next Budget Study Session is scheduled October 26th, 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. There being no further business, Mayor Baudek adjourned the meeting at 11:35 a.m. Jackie Williamson, Town Clerk RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado, October 26,2007 Minutes of a Regular meeting of the TOWN BOARD BUDGET STUDY SESSION of the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado. Meeting held at Town Hall in said Town of Estes Park on the 26th day of October, 2007. Committee: Mayor Baudek, Trustees Blackhurst, Eisenlauer, Homeier Levine, Newsom and Pinkham Attending: All Also Attending: Town Administrator Repola, Deputy Town Administrator Halburnt, Finance Officer McFarland, Town Clerk Williamson Absent: None Mayor Baudek called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. 2008 BUDGET PRESENTATION Each fund was reviewed and requests for additional information are noted below: FIRE Administrator Repola reviewed the expense components of the department stating the expenses are trending upward as a percentage of the General Fund. Chief Dorman stated the revenues are grants awarded to the department for a mobile data terminal, thermal imaging camera, WUI Education Coordinator and the National Fire Academy. Personnel costs are increasing with the proposed addition of an Administrative/Training Captain and the inclusion of the fire pension contributions. 0&M includes funds to upgrade the fire station's alarm system, first payment into the vehicle replacement fund and addition of a computer and related IT service charges. Engine 2, a structural engine, will be replaced in 2008 at an estimated cost of $270,000 in order to maintain the Town's current ISO rating. The engine will be retained as a reserve engine housed at the RMNP fire station on Mills Drive. Additional equipment for the engine will be budgeted and ordered in 2009 after the new engine arrives. Remove the note next to the Wildland Coordinator that states there is no grant in 2008. Chief Dorman reviewed the last ISO survey performed in October 2002. The department received 27.9% credit out of 50% and noted that an improved training program would increase the ISO and insurance ratings and result in less property loss. Therefore, staff is requesting consideration of an Administrative/Training Captain for the Fire Department. This position would be an exempt position performing administrative/training duties including the development of preplans for emergency response on all commercial property, write incident reports, perform fire inspections, research, plan and implement training programs, and provide backup to the Fire Chief as it relates to administrative duties and on call duties. This position would also allow the Fire Chief to perform other tasks including the development of a Master Plan for the department, recruitment and retention of volunteers, officer development and succession planning. Trustee Blackhurst questioned hiring staff to perform training that could be outsourced for $25,000 to $35,000 per year. Chief Dorman replied outsourcing the training would limit training opportunities, no pre-planning would be completed, no back-up to the Fire Chief and staff would be required to maintain the training records. Discussion followed and is summarized: questioned what personnel the position would oversee, inquired if other staff such as an executive secretary could perform tasks; hiring from within the volunteers may not provide the Town with the most qualified RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town Board Budget Study Session - October 26,2007 - Page 2 individual; concerned that the addition of the position may appear as though the department is in good financial condition; the fee for service in the county should be established prior to funding a new position; the position is critical for the department and ISO ratings. Administrator Repola stated this position is an investment in the future sustainability of the department, provides training opportunities locally and establishes an environment that attracts future volunteers. Mayor Baudek and Trustees Eisenlauer, Levine, Newsom, Pinkham and Homeier support the position. Trustee Blackhurst stated he could not support the position and contended there are other avenues that could be explored to address the issues. He expressed concern that training issues have not been addressed in the past five years since the ISO rating. Mayor Baudek announced a recess at 9:54 a.m., and the meeting was reconvened at 10:00 a.m. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Administrator Repola reviewed the expense components of the department and stated personnel costs are the largest component. In 2005, the department began collecting higher development fees for 50% cost recovery. • Community Development - Director Joseph stated personnel allocations for the Community Development Director and Secretary 111 have been adjusted with 25% reflected in the Protective Inspection budget. Revenues are projected higher with the approval of an increase in development plan fees. 0&M increases reflect an increase in education/training and an upgrade to the maintenance contract for the copier. • Protective Inspection- Revenues are projected to remain at the 2007 level. Future vehicle purchases will be updated to read future vehicle replacement for consistency throughout the budget documents. PUBLIC WORKS Administrator Repola reviewed the department's expense components that include Streets, Parks, Buildings and Engineering. • Government Buildings - O&M includes an increase for the roof replacement over the engineering portion of Town Hall and the addition of the 2008 restroom refurbishment program ($10,000). No rent adjustments have been suggested for employee housing. Janitorial expenses decreased with the over purchase of supplies in 2007. A discussion on recycling followed with regard to the Board's desires, cost impact, an incremental approach and outsourcing. • Engineering - 0&M is decreasing with the completion of projects and the ability to complete small engineering tasks in house; however, funds are budgeted for gas monitoring and annexations. • Streets - Minor changes in personnel include a .25 FTE Secretary Ill position and .40 FTE Seasonal Technician to evaluate the current pavement conditions and update the pavement index software. The Executive Secretary position to be renamed a Secretary 111. O&M is increasing due to the vehicle replacement costs. The storm water master plan has been moved to Community Reinvestment; however, future projects would be funded by Streets. The street sign replacement project is 60% complete and will take an additional year. Staff will footnote the street sign replacement project by phase, year and dollar amount spent. The overlay funds are budgeted at $302,000 including overlays for the Virginia and Wiest parking lots. These funds were previously in Community Reinvestment and have been moved back into Streets. Staff will RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town Board Budget Study Session - October 26,2007 - Page 3 notify the public and coordinate with downtown businesses prior to lot closures. Discussion was heard regarding the funding of potential transportation alternatives that may be funded partially by CDOT. Trustees would like to see multiple alternatives and requested the item return to the Committee and the Board for approval. Add $100,000 to the Community Reinvestment fund for transportation improvements with an asterisk. • Parks - Staff is requesting the addition of two seasonal positions to care for the new landscaping along Wiest and the CVB. The Museum and Senior Center landscaping will be moved in house as of 2008. Staff allocations need to be adjusted to 6 FTEs to reflect the addition of the seasonal positions. O&M has increased with the rental of a grinder twice a year to mitigate slash and bark beetle material. Discussion followed on whether enough is being done to address the bark beetle and if additional rentals should be allocated. Staff suggests spending more funds on education at this time. A wood planer will be purchased to rehab the benches along Elkhorn and Bond Park. The Bond Park Master Plan will be funded from the Conservation Trust Fund at $20,000. Materials and Supplies will be increased by $5,000 to $127,550 for the additional plantings at the CVB. • Contingency & Transfers - The contingencies fund is being scaled back to $50,000 based on past trends. Transfers to the Vehicle Replacement fund have been moved into the 0&M expenses for each department that has vehicles.

The reserves from this fund could be used for other projects as long as the 3% Tabor reserve is maintained. This fund was a funding source for the loan to the Estes Park Housing Authority for the purchase of the Pines Apartment complex. Staff will footnote all funds used for the EPHA loan. BUILDING AUTHORITY FUND The Town administers the Certificate of Participation issued for the golf course improvements due to mature in 2009. This is a straight pass through. The maturity of this debt would allow the Town to issue new debt. MEDICAL INSURANCE INTERNAL SERVICE FUND Deputy Administrator Halburnt stated the Town is partially self insured for the first $5,000 of any claim paid from the medical insurance fund. The balance is growing in this fund which could allow the Town to increase its stop loss and lower medical premiums in the future. The Town is investigating reducing its cost for vision coverage through a fully self insured plan. FLEET Administrator Repola reviewed the internal service fund that charges each department for services related to vehicles and related equipment. The target fund balance should be capable of repairing or replacing the building and all equipment. Future vehicle replacement will be corrected from $2,600 to $3,600. Director Zurn stated the 2008 budget contains no changes in personnel. O&M increases include A&C for the office and security door locks for the building. VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FUND This internal service fund charges each department with vehicles 125% of the estimated annual depreciation. In the past, funds were transferred from the Contingency Fund for the replacements of vehicles in lieu of purchasing vehicles through a bank loan. In order to use the fund in 2008, the dollar amount to be paid by each department has been recalculated and will increase total vehicle replacement funds from $269,000 to $537,000. The fund will only replace current vehicles within the fleet and all new vehicles will be purchased by the department. Discussion followed on the practice of allowing departments to purchase used vehicles from Fleet and if additional equipment RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town Boaid Budget Study Session - November 2,2007 - Page 2 (snowplows, light bars, ladders, hoses, etc.) for the vehicles should be purchased by the individual department. Vehicles will not be added to the fleet without justification and Committee approval. The appropriate Committee will also evaluate each vehicle purchase and required equipment to determine if the vehicle replacement fund is to be used for the full purchase. Staff will footnote on the individual department summaries the yearly vehicles to be replaced and to note department names not account numbers on the vehicle replacement fund summary. Mayor Baudek requested staff review the potential use of hybrid vehicles for the building inspectors and the museum in the future. Staff continues to assess the benefits versus cost of maintenance for hybrid vehicles. POLICE PENSION/FIRE PENSION FUNDS. Police: There is one surviving spouse receiving a benefit of $214/mo. This fund was closed to new enrollment in 1988. This is a fiduciary fund that has to remain as a separate account. When the fund is paid out the Town will pay the benefits from the General Fund. Fire: The Town's contribution will be increased to the maximum allowed by state statute in order to fully fund the pension fund. Pensions were raised in September for all current and retired volunteers from $350 to $400 per month. THEATER FUND. This is a fiduciary fund to be used to raise funds and build a performing arts theater. Funds have been budgeted for use by the Supporters of the Performing Arts (SOPA) to complete fundraising for the theater by November 2008. Mayor Baudek announced a 10-minute recess at 9:48 a.m., and the meeting was reconvened at 10:03 a.m. COMMUNITY SERVICES FUNDING REQUESTS (General Fund). In past years the target budget for this funding has been 5% of sales tax; therefore, the 2008 target budget is $355,000. The subcommittee is recommending $362,297 in funding, a decrease from 2006. Trustee Levine commented that not every program could be funded and many that have received funding in the past have been cut. In addition, the Town must focus on infrastructure needs and cuts were necessary to do so. Trustee Blackhurst commented all the programs and projects are worthy of funding; however, there are limited funds.

BENEFITS The employee parties (picnic, holiday party, and two other gatherings) and homeownership program are funded within this fund. Staff will increase the Town's contribution to the homeownership fund from $150/month to $250/month. EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION Health insurance will increase 10% and an increase in co-pays from $15 to $25 per visit. A new insurance broker has been hired for 2008 with a five-year contract renewable yearly and a $5,000 savings per year. An annual compensation survey was completed this year to ensure the Town's wages remain competitive. This year three regional comparisons were used (Loveland, Longmont, Fort Collins) and three resort comparisons (Avon, Frisco, Steamboat Springs). A 5% increase is proposed with 2.5% Merit, 2% Cost of Living Adjustment (COW\) and .5% for salary range adjustments. Discussion followed: to retain and attract employees the salaries need to be adjusted to inflation; COLA should be increased to inflation and decrease merit pool; need to maintain competitive wages; turnover can be expensive; the employees spending power is decreasing every year the salaries do not increase by CPI; the merit pool should be high enough to create an incentive; and spot awards and bonuses should be used for special recognition. Administrator Repola stated the philosophy of the Town has been pay for performance and a merit pool of 2.5% would allow the average employee to remain even with inflation. Staff is recommending adding COLA directly to all salaries without adjusting the grades. . M ./.I--I- - . N W. y.%/-- .--*. - h RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town Board Budget Study Session - November 2,2007 - Page 4 Staff was directed to (1) provide a merit pool of 2.5% (2) 2.5% Cost of Living Adjustment and (3) 0.5% for salary range adjustments.

Deputy Administrator Halburnt reviewed a CML survey of elected official compensation and 64 out of 75 municipalities that responded have higher compensation than Estes Park. Mayor Baudek stated an increase in compensation could help attract additional candidates, especially business owners. Discussion followed on the positive effects an increase for newly elected officials in 2008 may have on the candidate pool. The following increases were proposed: $6,000/Mayor, $5,000/Mayor Pro Tem, $4,000/Trustee. The Board approves of the concept and requested staff provides current salaries adjusted by CPI for comparison and prepare an Ordinance for an upcoming Board meeting. MISCELLANEOUS Larimer County will be reallocating a portion of the Larimer County Road and Bridge tax to their General fund. 50% of this tax is rebated to the Town; therefore, the Town will see approximately $50,000 less from the County next year and a further reduction of approximately $100,000 of $150,000 in 2009. This decrease is reflected in the Street Department budget. The Board thanked staff for an easy to understand and transparent budget process.

This was due to the agency discount as well as the volume contracts the ad program held. Today, a business is eligible for the same discount if they produce and use their own advertising. The Committee continues to utilize Second Wind to accept third party funds and purchase ad placements at a lower cost than an individual could place the same ad. All ad sales are deposited to the Second Wind account, all sales costs and production expenses are paid from the same account. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development - November 1, 2007 - Page 2 Discussion followed on the need to continue using Second Wind, Ltd.

Development & Building Fee Waiver Policy - Request Approval. At the November meeting the Committee requested staff refine the policy to specifically address low income health and human services or low income housing. Staff was directed to discuss the finer points with Attorney White. Policy Statement: The population being served is the general public and is not subject to any pre-qualification other than a need-based qualification.

Reports provided for informational purposes and made a part of the proceedings. • Financial Report • Building Permit Summary ADMINISTRATION Revisions to the Business Licensing Procedure - Request Approval. Clerk Williamson reviewed the current nine to ten month process for yearly business licensing and fee collection. The Clerk's office proposes an annual due date of March 31. as opposed to the current June 30th due date, eliminating the half payments and RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development - November 1, 2007 - Page 3 second invoicing and adding a Non Sufficient Fund fee for any returned check of $20 to the business licensing account. These changes would streamline the process and free up approximately 4 months of staff time to be used to complete other tasks. In addition, Attorney White has amended the business licensing ordinance to include the requirement that an owner of a business operating within the Town shall pay a business license fee, obtain a business license and comply with the State of Colorado requirements with regard to Lawful Presence. The violation and revocation sections of the code have been modified to address the failure to obtain a business license rather than a failure to pay the fee. After discussion, the Committee recommends approval of the changes to the business licensing procedures and regulations as presented. The Ordinance would be presented at the November 27,2007 Town Board meeting. Town Clerk Policy Manual Update - Request Approval. The policy updates are housekeeping items to update State liquor license fees, include background checks through Colorado Bureau of Investigations and the completion of the Lawful Presence Affidavit by sole proprietors, updated list of requirements for all new or transfer of ownership applications to include new state fees, and change the summons fee from $15 to $20. The increase to the summons fee is due to the rising costs of material, postage and staff time required to process. Cost for a certified return receipt letter has increased $1.47 since 2001 and staff time to process exceeds 12 hours. The Committee recommends approval of the updates to the Town Clerk Policy Manual. There being no further business, Chairman Pinkham adjourned the meeting at 9:12 a.m. Jackie Williamson, Town Clerk RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado, November 8,2007 Minutes of a Regular meeting of the PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE of the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado. Meeting held at Town Hall in said Town of Estes Park on the 8th day of November, 2007. Committee: Chairman Levine, Trustees Blackhurst and Homeier Attending: All Also Attending: Town Administrator Repola, Deputy Town Administrator Halburnt, Public Works Director Zurn, Asst. to the Utilities Dir. Mangelsen, Project Manager Sievers, Deputy Town Clerk Deats Absent: None Chairman Levine called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. PUBLIC COMMENT. Irene Little and Mary Ellen Garrett, co-chairs of the League of Women Voters (LWV) Committee for Recycling, addressed the Public Works Committee regarding recycling programs in the Estes Valley and enhancements that could be made to increase existing recycling opportunities and, additionally, accommodate the cardboard recycling needs of area businesses. Based on a survey sampling of downtown businesses, 50% of the trash produced by these businesses is cardboard, which leads the LWV to request that the Town participate with them in a program to provide cardboard recycling services. The State of Colorado has grant funds available for recycling projects which the League would pursue to fund the purchase of a compacting machine. The LWV is asking that the Town provide a site for the compactor. Although businesses surveyed were not specifically asked if they would recycle cardboard if a compactor and location was made available, Ms. Little cited the successful cardboard recycling program that was initiated by the high school a few years ago, stating that the business response was so overwhelming the high school lacked the space and manpower to continue the program. Discussion ensued on the following topics: the Town's land lease agreement with Waste Management; the condition of the current transfer station and recycling center reflects poorly on the Town; the unwillingness of companies to enter market in this area based on Waste Management's lease with the Town; Waste Management is private enterprise and responsive to customer-based complaints; the space and manpower requirements of a cardboard recycling program including the removal of recycled materials; small recycling companies that are emerging in Estes Park; LWF fundraiser to raise monies for project; Stephen Gillette, Larimer County Solid Waste Department Director, as a resource for recycling program information; and the Town's planning and budgeting processes. Jill Hartman/Carriage Hills commented on the condition of the current recycling center operated by Waste Management on the landfill site stating concerns about poor signage, and health and safety issues related to cleanliness and the center's proximity to trash and garbage. She stated the recycling center is not user-friendly and does not provide staff assistance, suggesting a location for the recycling center and compactor that would be closer to downtown businesses. Nicole Simons/Estes Park encouraged the use of Waste Management's existing curbside recycling services in an effort to reduce waste in the landfill. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee - November 8,2007 - Page 2 Mary Ellen Garrett/Estes Park, Annie Kidwell/Estes Park, Manuela Knoll/Estes Park, and Susan Wolfe/Allenspark spoke to steps the Town can take to become a "green" community and attractive to visitors who are concerned about the environment, including making Town sponsored events "zero waste events" by requiring all vendors to use compostable or recyclable materials, increasing the number of recycling receptacles in Town and placing them next to trash containers, replacing the Town's gas-powered landscaping vehicles with electric vehicles, banning the use of polystyrene containers by restaurants, provide a "green guide" to publicize and promote "green" businesses, build an environment-friendly performing arts center, and take steps to 5 reduce emissions from coal-burning power plants. Chair Levine and Town Administrator Repola thanked those in attendance for their comments and information, stating that discussions will continue with staff returning to Committee during the first quarter of 2008 with ideas about what the Town might do related to recycling, and steps that can be taken to promote further environmental consciousness. 2008 LANDSCAPING FLOWERS - REQUEST APPROVAL TO ACCEPT BID.

Skoog/Applicants - Applicants' request for continuance to November 20,2007 Estes Valley Planning Commission meeting. It was moved and seconded (Amos/Klink) that the consent agenda be accepted, and the motion passed unanimously. 3. PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAT and REZONING REQUEST. KOSEWICK SUBDIVISION. Lot 7 (Less B850-P194, B1743-P50), Summer Villa, 775 E. Riverside Drive. Applicant: Van Horn Engineering. Planner Shirk summarized the staff report. This is a request to subdivide a parcel into three individual lots, and rezone the two lots with existing dwellings from "A" Accommodations to "E" Estate. The plat includes three non-buildable outlots that contain wetlands with provision to relocate certain wetlands. The applicant has submitted an annexation petition to the Town Clerk. The hearing has been set for November 27,2007. Staff recommends rezoning for proposed Lots 1 and 2 from "A" Accommodations to single-family residential. These lots do not lend themselves to accommodations development, and the proposed rezoning will allow the existing use to continue. The applicant has requested a Minor Modification to allow the lots to be smaller than the required 1/2-acre. Lots 1 and 2 do not meet the adjusted minimum lot size. However, when the outlot space is added to these lots, the adjusted minimum lot size is met. Therefore, staff recommends these lots be conveyed with their "partner" lot: Lot 1 and 1A, Lot 2 and 2A, and Lot 3 and 3A. Access to Lot 3 shall be required to meet access standards of the Town of Estes Park. A sidewalk is proposed along the eastern/southern perimeter of the site, attached to Riverside Drive. A twenty-five foot wide trail easement is proposed along the river. The site contains wetlands and a mapped alluvial fan. These areas have been placed in non- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 2 October 16, 2007 buildable outlots. Furthermore, two wetland areas will be consolidated into a compact well defined area providing for a healthier wetland system and will be reviewed during the final plat approval. This proposal complies with applicable sections of the development code and adequate public facilities are available to serve the proposed subdivision. This request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff for consideration and comment. No significant issues or concerns were expressed by reviewing staff relative to code compliance or the provision of public services. However, the Town engineer has requested additional right-of-way and a design study to determine if the road should be widened. Public Comment: Lonnie Sheldon/Van Horn Engineering was present to represent the applicant and stated the applicant is in agreement with,the conditions of approval. It was moved and seconded (Grant/Eisenlauer) to approve the Preliminary Subdivision Plat and Rezoning Request, Kosewick Subdivision, Lot 7 (Less B850- P194, B1743-P50), Summer Villa, to the Town Board of Trustees, with the findings and conditions recommended by staff, and the motion passed unanimously. CONDITIONS: Preliminary Plat: 1. The outlots shall be named 1A, 2A, and 3A (instead of A, B, and C). 2. Lot 1 and Outlot l A shall remain under common ownership. A deed restriction shall be submitted with the final plat. 3. Lot 2 and Outlot 2A shall remain under common ownership. A deed restriction shall be submitted with the final plat. 4.

Recording of the Final Plat. 4. DEVELOPMENT PLAN 07-15, OUR LADY OF THE MOUNTAINS CATHOLIC CHURCH ADDITION, a Metes & Bounds property located at 690 Big Thompson Avenue, Applicant: Our.Lady of the Mountain Parish. Planner Chilcott summarized the staff report. This is a development plan application to build a tWo-story, 3,724-square-foot addition to Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church. The pr6posed addition matches the current church architecture, and will house office, classroom, and storage space. This site consists of five lots for a total of approximately 6.5 acres. The proposed construction is located on the three-acre, "CO" Outlying Commercial zoned lot. Religious assembly use is permitted by right in the "CO" zoning district. The plan demonstrates compliance with building/structure setbacks, impervious coverage, and floor area ratio limits. The maximum allowable impervious coverage is sixty-five percent and 54.48 percent coverage is proposed. The maximum floor area ratio (FAR) is DRAFT RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 3 October 16,2007 0.25 and a 0.131 FAR is proposed. Detailed review for compliance with the maximum allowable height will be completed with building permit submittal. This request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff for consideration and comment. Staff has not received written comments from adjacent property owners; however, staff received a call from a neighbor concerned about the cross, which was installed on the south side of the church without a permit, is illuminated at night, and does not comply with the lighting regulations. An application shall be submitted to the Building Department for the cross that was installed without a permit. This shall also include a plan for correcting the lighting violation. Unless the Building Department requires an earlier timeframe, this can be addressed when the building permit application for the addition is submitted. A drainage master plan should be submitted to staff for review to determine what facilities and easements are need as the 6.5 acre site is built out. The parking lot does not meet the minimum required setbacks and encroaches within the Hwy 34 right-of-way. The proposed redesign of the parking lot is a significant step towards code compliance and CDOT is supportive of the proposed redesign. The proposed sewer line running across all four residential lots should be placed in a dedicated easement. The proposed water line should be relocated as to avoid damage to a significant tree. Public Comment: Steve Lane/Basis Architecture was present to represent the applicant. He stated the plan will provide handicapped accessibility with a new paved access. The addition will not create new seating; therefore, additional parking is not required. The addition will provide additional staff area, accessibility, functionality, an elevator and classroom/multi function space. He stated the cross would be addressed with construction drawings. Chuck Carspecken/1010 S. St. Vrain questioned the complaint regarding the cross. He stated the church has the right to have a cross. It was moved and seconded (Klink/Amos) to approve Development Plan 07-15, Our Lady of the Mountains Church, with the findings and conditions recommended by staff, and the motion passed unanimously. CONDITIONS: 1. Compliance with the affected agency comments, including the comments submitted by the Estes Park Sanitation District on October 10, 2007. To address Greg White's comment, the title on Sheet 2 of 2 shall match the title on Sheet 1 of 2. The traffic impact analysis recommended by Public Works shall include information about accidents at the US Highway 34 intersection with Hillside Lane. 2. Drainage arrows shall be provided on the plan, along with existing contours on Hillside Lane. 3. The limits of disturbance shall be revised to include all disturbed areas, for example the new sidewalldmeditation trail construction to the west of the church addition and the driveway entrance onto Hillside Lane. 4. A new water line location shall be proposed that does not impact existing trees. 5. The planting area at the corner of US Highway 34 and Hillside Lane shall include evergreen trees. 6. Landscaping shall be revised as shown below: DRAFT RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS , Estes Valley Planning Commission 4 October 16,2007 twipe.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN 07-13, WAPITI CROSSING CONDOMINIUMS, Lot 22, South Saint Vrain Addition, 1041 S. St. Vrain Avenue, Applicant: Mulhern Group, Ltd. Planner Shirk summarized the staff report. This is a request to build forty-two multi-family residential units on a currently undeveloped 5.9-acre parcel. The property is currently zoned "RM" Multi-Family (the property has been zoned for multi-family development since the adoption of zoning in 1961). The units are planned to be a mix of detached (10 units), duplex (2), triplex (6), and a multi-family building (24). Site access would be from one point on Lexington Lane, with a through street to Highway 7, aligned with Golf Course Road. The proposal is an allowed use in the "RM" zoning district and meets density requirements, impervious coverage, floor area ratio, pedestrian amenities and linkage requirements, setbacks and complies with applicable policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan. The site contains landscaping, two retention ponds, wildlife migration corridors, an extension of Golf Course Road with one lane in to the development and two lanes out (one right and one left hand turn lanes). The existing cabin is proposed to be used for an ""auxiliary dwelling/club house." This unit should be kept in common ownership and the use restricted through the condominium process. The proposed landscaping plan does not meet EVDC requirements; however, the Planning Commission may authorize alternatives to the quantities, provided that the applicant submits a detailed landscaping plan and the Planning Commission determines the proposed landscaping plan satisfies the intent of the code. The Public Works Department has noted that CDOT should approve the access design prior to approval of the development plan. Public Works Director Zurn stated the applicant was required to submit a traffic impact study as it relates to Hwy 7 for review by CDOT. CDOT would require a right turn deceleration lane off of Hwy 7 onto Lexington 1· 1 1 - 1 • En.CM.F.... RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 5 October 16,2007 Lane. The traffic study has been approved by the Town and CDOT. The design of the deceleration lane would need to be approved by CDOT prior to construction. The current right-of-way would be used to build the new lane with a possible slope easement necessary from the adjacent property owner. CDOT will not issue an access permit without approved designs for the deceleration lane. Chair Hull stated the Commissioners are concerned with the lack of comment from the Department of Wildlife. Staff will contact the Division of Wildlife· and request timely site specific comments prior to Planning Commission meetings. Commissioner Amos requested an additional condition be included to address the confinement of domestic dogs to limit the disturbance of wildlife. Staff recommends outdoor dog runs or kennels should not be allowed in this development. Commissioner Tucker requested the CDOW provide a statement with regard to the affect of domestic animals as it relates to wildlife. Public Comment: Steve Loos/Lead Design Architect for Wapiti Crossing for the Mulhern Group reviewed the site plan and architecture of the buildings. He stated approximately 62% of the property will be reserved as open space. The overall site plan has been refined to reduce density and preserve open space while taking full advantage of the views. Henry Pool/1017 Pine Knoll Drive stated concerns with access to and from the development off of Hwy 7. He also stated concern with the current real estate sign on the property advertising plotted lots for sale. He questioned if this development would be low income housing. Patricia Washburn/1 101A Lexington Lane spoke in opposition to the development. Mary Nell Hardin/1254 Community Drive stated concerns with drainage from the property into the Trail Ridge Apartments. Dir. Zurn stated the drainage basins will not change. However, there are existing drainage issues on the Trail Ridge Apartment complex due to the original development. This project does not impact Trail Ridge further. Louis Weaver/no address given stated concerns with the addition of more condominiums that will stand empty most of the year. Corinne Pool/1017 Pine Knoll Drive commented the condominiums should be restricted to prevent them from becoming rental units. Jayne Zmijewski/Advance Master Instructor for CDOW stated the area is critical for the movement of elk and other wildlife. This is one of the only mitigation areas available through the Prospect Mountain corridor. Paul Kuna/1050 S. St. Vrain addressed the drainage concerns and requested the developer place a bond to ensure there are no issues with the retention ponds or unforseen drainage issues. Chair Hull called a ten minute recess at 3:25 p.m. and resumed the meeting at 3:35 p.m. Arleta Bell/1050 S. Saint Vrain Ave. A-1 questioned the fact that there would be np additional water runoff to the properties to the east. Eleanor Dunn/1254A Community Drive addressed concerns with the potential hazard of the retention ponds and questioned the addition of further traffic onto Hwy 7 in this area. Don Saucier/1081 Scott Ave stated concerns with the additional traffic that would be created with the extension of Golf Course Road. He would suggest changing the intersection and perhaps moving it to the north. He seconded the comments made earlier regarding the loss of prime elk habitat. DRAFT RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS , Estes Valley Planning Commission 6 October 16, 2007 Bart Dannels/941 S. St. Vrain stated he is against over development. His property is adjacent to the deceleration lane. His grandfather built on this property because of the views. He stated the triplex would block the views of Twin Sisters and his property.would face the back of the homes. He requested the Commission review the landscaping plan to ensure proper screening of the development. Commissioner Klink questioned if the regulations would allow a denial of a development plan due to the impact on wildlife. Director Joseph stated the Planning Commission gan request a professional wildlife impact study and can consider appropriate mitigatioh. The code calls for the CDOW to be the principle reviewing agency 6f the study. The CDOW would determine wh6ther the proposal would result in significant adverse impact on wildlife or wildlife habitat. Shirley Matheny/1085 Lexington Lane stated concerns with traffic and ppllution, Sandy Osterman/1735 Redtail Hawk Drive questioned if this development is the best kind of ddvelopment for Estes Park. She questioned the design of the development and accessibility for the growing elderly population of the town. Cory La Bianca/1965 Cherokee Drive spoke against the development. She requested the Commission allow for open space in our community and to avoid over building. Larry Purdey/1035 Pine Knoll Drive stated the town does not need additional condominiums and he agrees with earlier comments. Carol Billingham/1015 Pine Knoll Drive questioned if the multi-family unit would be sold as condominiums with nightly rentals and if the parking lot would be completely underground. Dirk Knobel/1070 Lexington Lane questioned if the Commissioners just approve the staff's report. Commissioner Klink responded stating there is limited discretion the Commission can use when reviewing plans and legally the Commission can not deny a development that meets the code. Mr. Knobel requested the .develop,rs replace the multi-family building with duplexes. Dick Coe/1070 Pine Knoll Drive stated this development will affect the deer more significantly than the elk. Fred Mares/895 Elk Meadow Court requested a continuance in order to gain additional information from CDOT and CDOW. Mr. Loos stated the developer has made an oven effort to address the wildlife concerns and issues regarding the wildlife corridors. The project would not be a low income housing development. The architecture of the proposed buildings has been designed to try not to have a backside. The clustering of the housing units has lent the site to additional open space for the wildlife. The deceleration lane on Hwy 7 onto Lexington Lane is due to the current traffic levels not the additional traffic due to the proposed development. The buildings will meet the current building codes. Commission@r Amos stated he has been concerned with the number of condominiums within the valley. He would ask that the staff discuss the issue of condominiums with the Town Board on the next agenda. Director Joseph stated there is a joint meeting with the County Commissioners, Town Board and the Planning Commission to discuss the issue on January; 29,2008 at a study session. It was moved and seconded (Grant/Tucker) to continue Development Plan 07-13, Wapiti Crossing Condominiums, Lot 22, South Saint Vrain Addition, 1041 S. St. Vrain Avenue, to the November 20,2007 Planning Commission in order to receive comments from CDOT and CDOW, and the motion passed unanimously.

LOT 1, BLOCK 4, FALL RIVER ESTATES, 1400 David Drive - Request for variance from Estes Valley Development Code Section 8.1.A, specifically in reference to Estes Park Municipal Code Section 17.66.060(13) to allow placement of an off-premise sign, and Section 17.66.110(3)b to allow the sign to placed 7.35 feet from the property line in lieu of the required 8-foot setback; and variance from Estes Valley Development Code Section 7.6.E.1.a(2) to allow the sign to be placed 26.15 feet from the annual high- water mark of Fall River in lieu of the required 30-foot setback AND LOT 4, BLOCK 4, FALL RIVER ESTATES, 1516 Fish Hatchery Road - Request for variance from Estes Valley Development Code Section 8.1.A, specifically in reference to Estes Park Municipal Code Section 17.66.060(13) to allow placement of an off-premise sign Applicant: Elizabeth Blanchard, Vice President of Operations, Estes Park Condos Planner Chilcott summarized the staff report. This is a request to allow off-premise signs to be located at 1400 David Drive and 1516 Fish Hatchery Road. If approved, the signs will advertise five condominium/accommodations properties: Bugle Point on Fall River; Bugle Point on Fall River, Phase 11; Creekside; Creekside Suites; and Antlers Pointe; as well as the rental management company for the properties, Estes Park Condos. Estes Park Condos/Applicant operates offices at the two addresses mentioned above. . RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Board of Adjustment 2 November 6,2007 Sign Proposed at 1400 David Drive: The applicant requests variances to three Code sections-Estes Park Municipal Code (EPMC) Section 17.66.060(13), which prohibits off-premise signs; EPMC Section 17.66.110(3)b, which establishes an eight-foot minimum setback from any property line for free-standing signs; and Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) Section 7.6.E. 1.a.2, which requires accessory structures to be set back at least thirty feet from the annual high- water mark of river corridors. If these variances are granted, the applicant will modify the existing sign to advertise all the condominium properties and the rental management company. The sign will remain 7.34 feet from the front property line and 26.15 feet from the annual high-water mark of Fall River; the sign dimensions will not change. The current location of the sign is the most visible location to passersby on Highway 34. Sign Proposed at 1516 Fish Hatchery Road: If the 'requested variance to EPMC Section 17.66.060(13), which prohibits off-premise signs, is granted, the applicant will remove the existing Bugle Point entry sign and replace it with a larger, 56-inch-by-48-inch sign advertising all the condominium properties anti the rental management company. In considering the requirements of the EPMC in granting variances for signs, specifically whether special circumstances exist, the applicant has stated that the properties function as one; there is one on-site rental management company for all five properties. The proposed signage would reduce traffic in the neighborhood by better directing guests to the rental management offices. It will also assist town and emergency personnel in locating the correct office. Planner Chilcott indicated the circumstances of this variance request do not apply to all businesses. Staff finds that at the 1400 David Drive location,- the front property line setback and the river setback overlap at the corner of the lot where the sign would draw the'most attention to the property. The impact of the sign to"the river corridor is minimal. The Board must determine whether the requested variances would be in general harmony with the purposes of EPMC Chapter 17.66, Signs. No comments in support or opposition of the variance request were received from neighbors or others. The Board must also deterfrline if these are the minimum variandes necessary to draw attention to the enterprise. The Board must consider the requirerrients of the Estes Valley Development Code in granting variances, incldding whether the variance would affect the delivery of public services. The Public Works department has stated both signs are located in utility and/or pedestrian hike/bike:easements. Future use of the easements may require the property owner(s) to relocate the signs outside the easements at their own expense. In considering whether the applicant's predicament can be mitigated through some method other than a variance, staff suggests that adding "Estes Park Condos" to each of the two signs and instructing guests to look for the Estes Park Condos signs would alleviate the need for the off-premise sign variance. No options exist for locating a visible sign at the 1400 David Drive address that complies with setback requirements. . ). The variatice requ-ests were routed to all applicable reviewing, agency staff and to neighboring property owners for consideration and comment. Comments were received from the Town of Estes Park Sign Code Officer Carolyn McEndaffer and from Town Attorney Greg White. Discussion followed regarding the hike/bike easements. A sidewalk is already in place at the Fish Hatchery Road location; there are no current plans to increase the width of the sidewalk. The hike/bike path has not yet been designed at the David Drive location. Public Comment: ·' Elizabeth Blanchard/Vice President of Operations, Estes Park Condos provided information on the development and acquisition of the five accommodations properties. Guests request a particular condo location and know the names of the individual properties. The rental management company has not been successful in trying to instrutt guests to check in at the Estes Park Condos office; guests create unnecessary traffic in the neighborhood by driving around looking for the check-in location. Guests have requested signs that list all the rental properties. The applicant may be interested in adding DRA-FT RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Board of Adjustment 3 November 6,2007 a directional indicator to the signs to point guests toward the check-in offices. Ms. Blanchard provided copies of letters of support from neighboring property owners Craig and Keeley Hansen, owners of The Evergreens on Fall River, and a summary of Homeowners' Association Board votes on the proposed signs from Creekside Suites, Creekside Condos, Bugle Pointe Phase 1, Bugle Pointe Phase 11, and Antlers Pointe indicating approval of the majority of board members. There was discussion between Board members and staff regarding the signs for Fall River Estates and Fall River Center, also located at David Drive, and who is responsible for their maintenance. Member Lynch suggested a condition be added to state specifically that a non-contiguous property (if one should be purchased and/or managed by Estes Park Condos in the future) can not be advertised on the two signs under consideration. Ms. Blanchard indicated her agreement with this condition. It was moved and seconded (Levine/Lynch) to approve the variance request for Lot 1, Block 4, Fall River Estates; 1400 David Drive; to allow placement of an off-premise sign, to allow the sign to be placed 7.35 feet from the front property line, and to allow the sign to be placed 26.15 feet from the annual high-water mark of Fall River; and to approve the variance request for Lot 4, Block 4, Fall River Estates; 1516 Fish Hatchery Road; to allow placement of an off-premise sign; with the findings and conditions recommended by staff and the addition of Condition #4; and the motion passed unanimously. CONDITIONS: 1. Compliance with the submitted application, including the proposed sign plans. However, staff shall have the authority to approve minimal revisions to the signs in the future without further Board of Adjustment review. 2. Compliance with Carolyn McEndaffer's comments in her memo dated October 26, 2007. 3. Both signs are located in easements. Future use of the easements may require that the property owner(s) relocate the signs outside the easements at their expense. 4. Non-contiguous property owned or managed by Estes Park Condos shall not be advertised on the proposed signs. 4. REPORTS None.

Minutes of that meeting are attached with this memo. Pursuant to the Estes Valley Development Code, the Planning Commission is the Decision-Making body for development plans. However, the Code provides for an appeal of this decision to the Town Board. Parties-in-Interest include owners of property within 500 feet of the subject parcels. A request for appeal of this decision was made by the Fish Creek Water Association on September 21, 2007. Since this is an appeal of the Planning Commission decision, Town Board review should focus on the record of the evidence presented at the August 21 hearing as it relates to the specific complaints set forth in the appeal request. It is not necessary for the Town Board to duplicate or repeat the entire review process normally undertaken by the Planning Commission. THE APPEAL: The appeal raises the following complaints. The Planning Commission should have continued the consideration of their decision rather than acting to approve the Development Plan based on: a) "the FEMA flood plain issue is not resolved"; b) "the County Commissioners' grant of a waiver for the Fish Creek Road right-of- way (ROW) requirement has been appealed... before the Larimer County District Court"; c) "the setback requirements off of Fish Creek Road are disputed"; and, 1 4 d) "the Commission was unduly ,influenced by partisan comments and actions which originated from the Estes Park Community Development Department". RESPONSE TO THE APPEAL: FEMA. The developer's Engineer, in cooperation with the Town Public Works Director, has submitted a flood plain map revision to FEMA. This revision is to correct inaccuracies in the existing flood plain mapping on the subject property. An experienced, licensed, and qualified Professional Engineer prepared the hydraulic modeling and survey data this map revision is based upon. The Planning Commission approved the Development Plan with the condition that FEMA approves the proposed map revision; no construction permits will be issued for this Development Plan until the FEMA review and acceptance is completed. No purpose would be served by deferring the Planning Commission action until FEMA acts, except to delay the project unnecessarily. Right-of-Way. The legal action appealing the County Commissioner's ROW waiver will eventually be heard in Larimer County District Court. The only legal avenue for a delay of the project pending resolution of this litigation rests with the District Court, not with the Town of Estes Park. Setbacks. The Estes Valley Development Code requirement for setbacks is a function of the ROW width in this_gase. Thgs-there is no dispute_over the required setback except as related to the legal action in Court involving the ROW waiver. Again, as noted above, the resolution of this legal dispute rests with the District Court, not with the Town of Estes Park. Partisan Comments. The allegation of partisan comments and actions on the part of the Community Development staff cannot be answered until such time as this accusation is supported by some statement or description of the offending comments or actions. To dhte, no grounds supporting this accusation have been provided by either the Fish Creek Water Association or their legal counsel. Mr. Bob Trump has expressed his opinion that staff erred in not making note of the pending District Court legal action when the staff report was presented to the Planning Commission. However both Mr. Trump and the Association's counsel Mr. Willard were present at the meeting to provide the Planning Commission with direct testimony concerning this litigation. They did, in that Mr. Willard clearly stated the fact that this litigation was pending and he did request that the Planning Commission delay action until the case is decided in Court. The Planning Commission did not see fit to do so. ACTION: Staff recommends the Town Board uphold the Planning Commission approval of the Stone Bridge Estates Development Plan 07-09. • Page 2 EXCERPT FROM THE RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Regular Meeting of the Estes Valley Planning Commission August 21, 2007, 1:30 p.m. Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall Commission: Chair Betty Hull; Commissioners Wendell Amos, Ike Eisenlauer, Bruce Grant, Joyce Kitchen, Doug Klink, and John Tucker Attending: Vice-Chair Eisenlauer; Commissioners Amos, Grant, Kitchen, Klink, and Tucker Also Attending: Town Attorney White, Director Joseph, Planner Shirk, Town Board Liaison Homeier, and Recording Secretary Roederer Absent: Chair Hull, Planner Chilcott Vice-Chair Eisenlauer called the meeting to order at 1:30 p.m. 5. DEVELOPMENT PLAN 07-09, Stone Bridge Condominiums, Proposed Lots 2 & 3, Stone Bridge Estates Subdivision, currently a Metes and Bounds property located at 1043 Fish Creek Road, Applicant: Rock Castle Development Co., Owner: Van Horn Trust Planner Shirk provided an in-depth review of the staff report. This is a request to develop 4.3 acres zoned RM-Multi-Family Residential with twenty-four detached multi-family dwelling units, which is an allowed land use within the RM zoning district. The applicant intends to subdivide these units into condominium ownership. The applicant's property is in the process of being subdivided into three lots; proposed Lots 2 and 3 are included in this development plan proposal. The portion of the property on which the Van Horn Engineering office is located (proposed Lot 1) is not part of this development plan. The applicant has applied for rezoning of proposed Lot 1 from RM to 0-0#ice; this rezoning would match the use of the property and prohibit additional residential development on Lot 1. The preliminary subdivision plat and rezoning request were reviewed by the Planning Commission on January 16, 2007 and were recommended for approval. The Town Board is the decision-making body for the subdivision plat and rezoning request; planning staff anticipates both the preliminary and final plat applications, as well as the rezoning request, will be heard by the Town Board in late October. The applicant will also request an extension of the vesting period from 2010 to 2012. One recommended condition of approval of the preliminary plat application was that Larimer County grant a waiver to the required Fish Creek Road right-of-way width. The waiver to allow the applicant to maintain a sixty-foot right-of-way width on the west side of the road was conditionally approved by the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners on May 21, 2007. The development plan encompasses two lots. Each lot was reviewed individually for compliance with density, floor area ratio (FAR), parking, setback, landscaping, open space, and impervious coverage requirements. The proposal meets the density requirements of the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC)-six units per acre are proposed (24 units on 3.989 net acres) and eight units per acre are allowed. Ten units are proposed for Lot 2; 11.4 are allow~d. Fourteen units are proposed for Lot 3; 20.5 are allowed. The total number of proposed units on the two lots is twenty-four, where thirty- two are allowed. The applicant is not proposing to maximize density. The applicant has applied for a correction to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) floodplain maps. Completion of FEMA review is anticipated by mid- October. If the proposed corrected floodplain is approved by FEMA, it will not extend beyond the creek's main channel. Approval of this development plan must be contingent upon FEMA approval of the proposed map correction. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 2 August 21, 2007 The maximum impervious coverage allowed in the RM zoning district is 50%. Proposed impervious coverage on Lot 2 is 42.3% and on Lot 3 is 37.3%, yielding an overall total impervious coverage of 39.1%. This proposal also complies with the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) in the RM district, which is 0.30. Proposed FAR for Lot 2 is 0.27; proposed . FAR for Lot 3 is 0.22. Sidewalks will be provided to each unit. The applicant should provide a pedestrian trail from the proposed development td proposed bridge qver Fi@1 Creek and then on to the hike/bike path. The proposed development must meet wetlands and stream-corridor protection standards. The minimum setback from the stream (Fish Creek) is thirty feet; the locations of the probosed units meet this standard. The applicant has received a permit from the Army Corps. of Engineers to remove a small, disconnected portion of wetlands. The applicant - has provided a Wetland Creation Plan, which proposes significant riparian corridor enhancement through bank stabilization and wetland enhancement along Fish Creek, including replacement of the small area of wetlands to be removed. The applicant's landscape plan does not include specific district-buffer landscaping. However, the proposed "typical unit" landscaping shown in the architectural concept drawings accomplishes this objective. Provided each unit is so landscaped, the required quantity of plantings will be met. District buffer guidelines require evergreen plantings · within twenty-five feet of the property line. The applicant has requested a modification to allow the plantings to be placed closer to the units, which will better screen the units and allow the placement of more appropriate riparian plantings beside Fish Creek. The applicant-has met with th-e Celoradd-DiVision of Wildlife (CDOW) to d~termine a corridor for elk crossing through the property. Items such as retaining walls, building locations, and fencing have been designed to allow the passage of elk. The CDOW will need to approve the fence design to ensure it will not pose a hazard to wildlife. No dumpster is proposed for the units; instead, curbside pickup is proposed. Future condominium declarations should specify that trash should be kept inside until the morning of pickup. Exterior lighting will be subject to lighting standards in EVDC Section 7.9 arid must be shielded, downcast, and no higher than fifteen feet above the ground. The Light and Power Department originally required that street lights be placed at each entry point onto Fish Creek Road but after discussion with planning staff, who conveyed neighb6rhood concerns about street lights in thede locations, agreed to waive that requirement. The access points are considered driveway entrances rather than street intersections. The proposed development requires fifty-three parking spaces; sixty-six will be provided. Of these, forty-eight will be in garages and eighteen will be guest parking spaces. Units 1075, 1095, 1105, 1107, 1157, and 1185 do not have adequate driveway depth to accommodate parking outside the units' garages and parking at these units should be restricted to in-garage parking only. This restriction should be addressed with the condominium covenants and declarations. The proposal provides adequate guest parking near these units to accommodate visitors. Two small hammerhead turning areas are proposed for this development. On the afternoon of August 20, 2007, the Fire Chief requested that a thirty-foot-wide turnaround be, provided for fire trucks; it may be possible to alter one of the proposed hammerheads to provide fire access to address this concern. Adequate public facilities are available to serve this development. The water main along Fish Creek Road will be extended. The existing sewer main is not deep enough and a new sewer main will be installed, which will run parallel to the exikting main for a distance, although at a lower depth. A twenty-foot-wide easement will be provided for an existing private water line that crosses this property and serves homes on the east side of Fish Creek Road. The submitted ISO calculations indicate adequate fire flow is available; three new fire hydrants are proposed. Numerous concerns have been expressed by neighboring property owners. Most comments received were written betwedn January and May and were directed toward the subdivision and right-of-way waiver requests. The overwhelming themds of these RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 3 August 21, 2007 comments were concerns about traffic safety, density (multi-family development adjacent to single-family residences), preservation of wildlife habitat, and floodplain issues. Comments were received from Dale and Diane Beck, 1635 Powelly Lane; Raymond and Sally Allen, 820 Fish Creek Road; Matt and Ruby Lynett, 894 Fish Creek Road; Paula Edwards, 1020 Acacia Drive; John Poulos, 1805 Powelly Lane; Robert and Myla Bernhard and their son, Fred Bernhard, 1650 Powelly Lane; David Diggs and Mari Hirata, 1770 Powelly Lane; Karin Edwards, 1020 Acacia Drive; Enda Mills Kiley, 1901 Ptarmigan Trail; Kathleen Cannon and Henry Canhon, 1110 Fish Creek Road; Bob and Laura Trump, 830 Fish Creek Road; John and Patti Watson, 1740 Powelly Lane; Judith Saurino, 890 Fish Creek Road; William and Marguerite Paynter, 810 Fish Creek Road; and Fred Held, 1710 Powelly Lane. The Town and applicant are in the process of formalizing an agreement regarding the "Creek Enhancement and Wetland Creation Plan" submitted by the applicant. This agreement will outline Fish Creek restoration responsibilities, the proposed bridge, and associated easements. As part of this agreement, the applicant will do some work on Town property to provide bank stabilization. The agreement will be reviewed by the Town's Public Works Committee prior to final review by the Town Board. Planner Shirk read the nine staff findings and recommendation shown in the staff report. Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed Stone Bridge Estates development plan 07-09. In response to questions from the Commissioners, Planner Shirk stated staff believes FEMA approval of the floodplain map correction is likely. EVDC Section 7.10 would allow the Planning Commission to require the applicant to provide bear-proof trash containers. The additional sidewalk and potential turn-around for emergency vehicle access would not push the impervious coverage on the site over the allowed limits. Public Comment: Frank Theis/CMS Planning and DevelopmenUConsultant for applicant Rock Castle Development stated project planning began over fifteen months ago. There have been many issues due to the creek, adjacent county road, and inside-town-limits status of the property. The applicant has tried to address concerns from the Town, County, opponents, and neighbors and provide a sensitive design. Darcy Tiglas, wetlands expert, provided a wetlands report. The applicant will stabilize the creek, revegetate, banks, and recover wetlands. The traffic impact analysis found no detrimental safety issues. Recent expansion of County road right-of-way standards from sixty feet to 100 feet was aimed at flat lands where that right-of-way width is needed. The applicant has repeatedly offered to meet with neighboring property owners and hosted a meeting where only two neighbors came. Units have been designed to have a single-story profile at Fish Creek Road; all buildings have been pushed as far from the road as possible. An evergreen hedge is proposed along the road rather than a concrete wall like that found at the nearby Creekside Subdivision. There will be stone columns and a small section of fence, which will be designed for safety of elk, at the entrance. Decks of the units will be no closer than thirty feet to Fish Creek. The revised flood plain is within the existing banks of the creek. Landscape plantings will be four to five times what is required. The homeowners' association will maintain their side of Fish Creek after the restoration work and planting is completed; the Town will be responsible for maintenance of the creek where it runs on Town property. If the Town does not provide satisfactory maintenance, the homeowners' association will assume responsibility for repairs. Bill Van Horn/Van Horn Family Trust stated there have been concerns regarding the proposed changes to the floodplain. In 1950 Lily Lake flooded Fish Creek, depositing material that made the creek channel ill-defined. In the thirty years since the FEMA floodplain mapping was done in 1979, significant erosion has occurred and the location and depth of the stream has changed. The modification of the FEMA flood map is based on analysis of changed conditions of the creek as they exist today. The proposed development requires that something be done about the continued erosion of the stream. John Spooner/Van Horn Engineering confirmed what Mr. Van Horn stated. The letter of map revision prepared by Mr. Spooner was sent to FEMA because conditions have RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 4 August 21, 2007 changed. For instance, in a location where the existing flood map showed the stream channel at a depth of 0.5 feet, the channel is currently 5.5 feet deep. Beaver dams shown in the area no longer exist. FEMA does not rubber stamp map revisions; there is an extremely thorough review process. Mr. Spooner's credentials include a PhD in hydraulic engineering, teaching experience at Purdue University, and work as a trainer of consultants in flood-insurance evaluations. Randy Willard/Attorney representing Fish Creek Water Association raised opposition to the proposed development plan and urged the Commissioners to continue the application based on unresolved issues, including pending FEMA review of the floodplain adjustment and concerns regarding the right-of-Way waiver granted by the Larimer County Commissioners. FEMA may not approve the flood map revision; their decision will not be made until October at the earliest. The potential for another 100-year flood still exists. The area around the proposed development was under water When the Lily Lake flood occurred in the 1950s. The decision to approve the right-of-way waiver has been appealed and is before a court for review. 1lf FEMA denies the flood map revision, the proposed development would become moot.' If the court decides the right-of-way waiver was granted in error, the sixty-foot right-of-way will be incorrect. Mr. Willard also contended the fifteen-foot setback from the front property line required by the EVDC has been applied incorrectly. In the case of a conflict between Carimer County standardsand EVDC standards, County standards should prevail; therefore, the fifty-foot setback required by the County should apply to this development. Town Attorney White stated the fifteen-foot setback applies to this property because it is within Estes Park town limits. Construction is not allowed in the floodway but is allowed in - - - -the- flood fringe -if the habitable portion -of a structure is two feet higher than the flood - fringe. Planner Shirk confirmed that construction and/or grading on the site cannot begin until the subdivision plat is approved. Ken Czarnowski/Attorney representing Fish Creek Water Association stated the application for the revised flood map is in the ninety-day review period with FEMA; the public is allowed to comment and the Water Association will submit comments. He urged the Commissioners to table the application until the FEMA decision is made, as it will affect where structures may be located. A six-foot earthen embankment contains lbO acre-feet of water at Lily Lake, which could flood Fish Creek again. Director Joseph stated no building permit will be issued until FEMA approves the revised flood map; if the revision is not approved, the development plan (if approved) would never be fully eriacted. Bob Trump/830 Fish Creek Road/President of Fish Creek Water Association stated all members of the Water Association are opposed to the condominium subdivision because it is completely out of character with the area. Neighboring properties are all larger parcels of land; property owned by.the sixteen Water Association members totals approximately 200 acres. He read aloud his letter to the Planning Commission dated August 21, 2007 and submitted a copy for the record as well as a letter for the Planning Commission from Karin Edwards dated August 20, 2007. He expressed concern about high density of the proposed development, loss of uncluttered appearance of area, impact on visitors to area, increased traffic volume, difficulty obtaining information on the proposal and accuracy of that information, and bending rules for developers who propose tax-generating developments. He encouraged the Coinmissioners to vote to preserve the beauty of the valley for future generations. Fred Bernhard/1650 Powelly Lane expressed opposition to the proposed development and stated nothing is being done to preserve the valley. Town Attorney White stated the U.S. constitution provides that government shall not take private property rights without due process of law. An owner has the tight to develop their property. The applicant's property was zoned as commercial in 1961 and downgraded to RM zoning in 2000. Zoning changes are decided upon by the Town Board or County Commissioners, not the Planning Commission. Director Joseph and Commissioner Amos referenced the adoption of the EVDC and valley-wide rezoning in 2000; if residents have concerns about development and/or wish to change zoning in the valley, the community RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission 5 August 21, 2007 must act together to request code changes-an individual parcel or project cannot be singled out. Jan Verschuur/Association for Responsible Development (ARD) spoke on behalf of himself, his wife, and ARD and stated he is not a neighboring property owner. The consensus of ARD is the proposed development is not a good project. He expressed concern about change in traffic patterns and danger to school children who use the Fish Creek corridor; high-density development of 23 units on 4.3 acres adjacent to hike/bike trail; impact on visual appeal of Fish Creek corridor; the development is not in keeping with surrounding properties; and impact on wildlife and the riparian nature of Fish Creek, which could be rehabilitated by the Town without a development of such great density. Frank Theis stated the applicant never received input from ARD and is proposing much less dense development than is allowed. The applicant offered to hook up Fish Creek Water Association to the new water main at no cost, which would have relieved the association of one-third of their infrastructure. The Water Association chose to retain their line and use their position to delay the development. Only two homes on the opposite side of Fish Creek Road will have a direct view of the development. Enhancement of the riparian corridor along Fish Creek will bring elk back to the area. Bill Van Horn stated there will be a different FEMA map because the erroneous map in place now will not continue to be used. There is no risk to the public if the development plan is approved because no permits can be issued until conditions of approval are met. The applicant has allowed enough room from the floodplain that the development plan won't be changed. The lawsuit was filed against the County, and any legal request for project delay should be heard by the District court. The Planning Commission has no grounds to delay the application. Planner Shirk stated no units are proposed to be located in the existing floodway. It was moved and seconded (Amos/Kitchen) to approve Development Plan 07-09, Stone Bridge Condominiums, a Metes and Bounds property located in Portions of Northeast Section 31, Northwest Section 32, and Southwest Section 29, T5N, R72W of the 6~11 p.M., with the findings and conditions recommended by staff with Condition #13 to state "...application for first building permit" rather than "...issuance of first building permit," and the motion passed unanimously with one absent CONDITIONS: 1.

General discussion between Commissioners and staff folio'wed regarding their concerns about the public's misconceptions about their role and decision-making authority in reviewing proposed developments. The Commissioners make every effort to be fair and reasonable in enforcing the development code. Also discussed was the ways in which the public could influence future development in the Estes Valley. It is difficult to get public involvemeht unless there is a proposal that directly affects neighboring property owners. There being no further business, Vice-Chair Eisenlauer adjourned the meeting at 4:20 P.m.

Any improvements would have to be justified by a transportation study provided by CDOT's general consultant, PBS&J. If warranted, the study may provide guidance towards improvements in the downtown area that would relieve downtown traffic congestion. The resulting improvements would be jointly cost- shared and constructed in 2008. CDOT has stated that these funds are only periodically available and may be several years before they are available again. CosUBudget: Budget: $15,000.00 Acct # 101-2400-424.22-02 / p. 92 Action: Staff seeks authorization to retain CDOT's general consulting company, PBS&J, to study alternatives to relieve congestion in the downtown area. The focus of the study would be to seek alternatives that would result in CDOT funding of improvements in 2008. Traffic alternatives would be brought back to the committee for consideration prior to developing design and construction plans. It is anticipated that alternatives would involve joint participation from the Town and CDOT. Consideration for the alternatives would include available budgets from both entities and PBS&J scope of work will include estimating and developing fiscally constrained project scope. The requested authorization is for a not-to- exceed cost of $15,000.00 Transportation Alternatives 1 Town Clerk's Office emo To: Mayor Baudek Town Board of Trustees Town Administrator Repola From: Jackie Williamson Date: November 20,2007 Subject: Municipal Court Salaries Background: Municipal Court salaries are set within the Municipal Code in Sections 2.52.020 and 2.52.040 and are updated every two years with a five percent adjustment.

PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO, THIS DAY OF ,2007. TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO 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 , 2007, and published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Town of Estes Park, Colorado, on the day of ,2007. Town Clerk Memo Date: November 19, 2007 TO: Mayor Baudek Board of Trustees From: Gregory A. White RE: Revisions to the Business License Chapter BACKGROUND: The Clerk's office, by separate Memo, has proposed certain changes in the business license procedure effective for the 2008 billing cycle. I have taken the opportunity to also amend the business license ordinance provisions to include the requirement that an owner of a business within the Town needs to pay the business license fee but also obtain the business license and to comply with the State of Colorado requirements with regard to Lawful Presence. Also, in reviewing the business license ordinance, the violation and revocation section were not clear with regard to failure to obtain a business license or complete the necessary documentation. BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: There are not budget implications. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the proposed revisions to the Business License Chapter be approved.. Town Clerk's Office Memo To: Mayor Baudek Board of Trustees Administrator Repola From: Jackie Williamson Date: November 19, 2007 Re: Revisions to the Business License Procedure Background: The Clerk's Office is proposing the Business License Procedure and Ordinance be revised effective for the 2008 billing cycle. Background information is as follows: 1. Currently, the Clerk's Office mails approximately 1400 Invoices the last week of December. The "due date" is June 300. On these Invoices, the Clerk's Office states that the fee must be paid in full no later than June 30th. 2. The Clerk's Office accepts payments (either M or full payment) through June 30th. 3. In May, the Clerk's Office mails approximately 700 "Final Invoice" statements to those businesses that have a "balance due". 4. Typically, the second week of July, the Clerk's Office mails a "Summons and Complaint (certified mail) (approximately 60) that includes an additional $15 processing fee. The court date is specified, and the office accepts payments until the Wednesday prior to the date of their court appearance. For businesses that don't pick up their certified letter, the office authorizes personal service by a Police Officer. 5. The entire process takes from nine to ten months including those that go to court. 6. The Clerk's Office does not have a formal process for Business Licenses paid by Non Sufficient Funds (NSF). The office contacts the business owner by phone and/or mail. If it is not rectified the account is made inactive. This process is time consuming and ineffective. 1 The following revisions are being proposed: 1. Clarify the invoice by adding "Annual Business License Due by 3/31/08." 2. Eliminate the Myay option and require full payment by March 31 St 3. Eliminate the 2" invoicing. 4. Establish an NSF check fee of $20 to recover staff time and possibly establish a relationship with a company to collect payment for the checks. 5. Revise the Ordinance: Chapter 5.20.060 Payment of licensee fee. "The owner of each business, profession, occupation or accommodation subject to the provisions of this Chapter shall pay the business license fee for each calendar year in which the owner engages in any business, profession, occupation or accommodations within the Town as follows: (1) One half (34) the business licensc fcc may be paid at any time, previ€le+that- Full payment is required on or before Jwne-@G March 31St of each calendar year. (3) In the event any existing business license is not renewed in the subsequent calendar year on or before July 1 March 31St, the business license shall be deemed to have lapsed. A new business license fee in full must be paid by the owner. There shall be no proration of this business license fee. (4) In the event that an NSF check is received, a twenty dollar ($20) fee will be added to the account. Processing Timeline: 1. Mail Invoice last week of December (no change). 2. Mail the Summons the second Monday in April. 3. If necessary, serve the Summons the last week of April. 4. Accept payment until 5:00 p.m. on the Wednesday of the week prior to the court appearance. For implementation purposes, if the Ordinance is adopted on November 27% then, during the 30-day effective period, the Clerk's Office would send a letter to all businesses informing them of the change in billing. Attached are the 2007 Business License Summation and a draft information letter to licensees. Budget. The proposed revisions would save the Town approximately $1,500 in staff time, materials and postage. The licensing process would be streamlined and remove up to 4 months of processing by the Clerk's office (approximately 120 hours). As Administration reorganizes in 2008, the increased efficiencies would free up additional hours to perform tasks completed by other staff members previously. Action: The Town Clerk's office requests the consideration of the proposed Ordinance to update the business licensing procedures. 2 ORDINANCE NO. 28-07 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5.20 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO TO REVISE BUSINESS LICENSING PROCEDURES & REGULATIONS WHEREAS, it is necessary for Chapter 5.20 of the Municipal Code to be amended with regard to licensing procedures and regulations; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park, Colorado, has determined it is in the best interest of the Town to amend the Municipal Code of the Town of Estes Park, Colorado by the adoption of this Ordinance.

INTRODUCED, READ, AND PASSED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK on this day of ,2007 TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO Mayor ATTEST: Town Clerk Administration Memo To: Mayor Baudek and Town Trustees From: Randy Repola ~** Date: 11/21/2007 Re: Real estate contract for sale of Lot 4, Stanley Addition Town Attorney Greg White has drafted a new contract for Lot 4. He is awaiting a response from Mr. Grueff and his attorney regarding the new contract. Greg will provide you with a copy of the latest draft at the Executive Session, or if it is available sooner, will email a copy to you. 1 . MYTHS & FACTS ABOUT THE LOT 4 PLAN The voters own Lot 4. It appears that misinformation may be influencing the Trustee's decision- making. Here are ten mistaken reasons for supporting the current plan, followed by the facts. MYTH: The Estes Winds (Grueff) development contains only one minor variance. FACTS: The Town's approval letter lists eight separate variances that the relevant board granted to the Developer. Other significant variances resulted from the Town's decision to ignore the Estes Valley Development Code and Historic District density and use requirements. Under the Development Code, the Lot 4 zoning does not permit a banquet hall, yet the Town approved construction of one. MYTH: The Estes Winds plan will generate lots ofnew sales tax revenue. FACTS: Flat retail sales tax revenue and unoccupied commercial space suggest that the Estes Wind plan willlikely take much of its sales revenue from other existing businesses. The proposed banquet hall will take business away from the Stanley Hotel's weddings. The result may be lower sales tax and room revenue from the Hotel. MYTH: Unlike all other property in the Estes Valley, Lot 4 is not subject to the year 2000 Estes Valley Development Code because of the Historic District. FACTS: The Stanley Historic District is known as an "overlay district." The "underlying district" is found in the Estes Valley Development Code. That means the Historic District requirements are added on top of the underlying Development Code and zoning that applies to everyone. The Town is required to apply whatever relevant provisions are deemed "most restrictive." But the Town refused to apply the Development Code to the Estes Wind Plan. MYTH: We should just sell Lot 4 to the highest bidder, which was Estes Winds. FACTS: Another bidder offered more for Lot 4. Reopening the bidding would also give the Stanley Hotel a chance to compete to purchase Lot 4. MYTH: The Stanley Hotel should be willing to compete just like everybody else. FACTS: The Town created the Historic District to benefit the entire community. The Town's own attorney said that creating the Historic District directly led to the restoration of the Hotel and a substantial increase in tax revenues for the Town. The District's Master Plan describes the Hotel as its "crown jewel." The Ordinance says it is intended to prevent developments that would "lessen [the Hotel's] ability to conduct an economically viable operation." In exchange for the Historic District guarantees, the Hotel invested millions of dollars and hopes to invest $4-6 million more in an expansion. Reneging on the Historic District plan will hurt Estes Park because the Hotel attracts thousands of visitors who also shop and dine in Town. MYTH: The Estes Winds contract was only voided on a technicality. The Town therefore has a "moral obligation" to give them the contract again without any other bids. FACTS: The Town gave Estes Winds the contract without passing an ordinance after a public hearing. A court voided the contract because the Town didn't follow Colorado law. The resulting lawsuits will last years and cost taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars. The lawsuits could still force the Town to start all over again. By offering the property for bid, the Town can avoid further litigation and choose a plan that meets the Historic District requirements and saves taxpayers money. MYTH: The people calling for a vote just want open space and don't care about business. FACTS: The citizen-initiated ordinance requires a public vote on the terms and conditions of sale for Town-owned property in the Historic District. A public vote will ensure that the development complies with the Town's character, meets the applicable legal requirements and does not negatively impact the appearance or economic viability ofthe Stanley Hotel. Impe(ling (or even losing) the Hotel would be disastrous for the business community and would lessen our ability to attract year-round visitors. MYTH: The Stanley Historic District expires in 2009, and its requirements will no longer apply. FACTS: When the Historic District was created, three different owners entered private development contracts that bind the Town and the private owners for 15 years. Neither the ordinance creating the Historic District nor the Historic District Master Plan will be repealed by the expiration ofthese contracts. Some have threatened to repeal the Historic District, but doing it without a public hearing and vote would just result in more lawsuits. MYTH: Ed Grueff is a good developer, who the Town likes. The Town doesn't trust the Stanley Hotel, so Ed Grueff should get the contract again. FACTS: The Trustees and the Town's employees should act in the best interests of the Town as a whole, not focus on personalities. The buyer of Lot 4 will be subject to the terms and conditions of a contract. The citizen-initiated ordinance will submit that contract to a public vote, so that taxpayers gain the final say in how Lot 4 is developed. MYTH: Requiring voter approval will hurt the Performing Arts Center. FACTS: Requiring voter approval can ensure that money for a Performing Arts Center will be one of the terms and conditions of the sale. By refusing a public vote, the Town invited a lawsuit that could result in years of appeals. An open bidding process followed by a vote gives the Town a chance to sell the property more quickly. URGE THE TRUSTEES to adopt the citizen-initiated ordinance. If the Town then gives Estes Winds the contract, voters can decide whether that plan deserves a yes vote.
