Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Kara Washam, Planner I
Date: April 9, 2024
RE: Resolution 30-24 Extending a Memorandum of Understanding with
Headwaters Economics Inc Regarding Participation in the Community
Planning Assistance for Wildfire (CPAW) Program
(Mark all that apply)
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER______________
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective:
Approve the extension of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the Town
of Estes Park and Headwaters Economics, a non-profit and independent research
group, regarding the Town’s voluntary participation in the latter’s Community Planning
Assistance for Wildfire (CPAW) program, which is funded through grants from the U.S.
Forest Service and private foundations.
Present Situation:
On June 8, 2021, via Resolution 47-21, the Town Board of Trustees approved a MOU
permitting the Town, through the Community Development Department, to collaborate
with Headwaters Economics on the topic of wildfire risk reduction; efforts which can be
roughly grouped into three categories: enhancing communication in the community in
relation to wildfire risk reduction (through educational materials and communication
strategy, for example); increasing land use planning capacity with provision of tools and
resources (e.g., model code language and mapping resources); and improving local
partnerships. Work products related to code language have been delivered by
Headwaters, but more time is needed to fully deliver the suite of services agreed to. The
delay is largely a result of logistical challenges related to COVID-19, recent severe
wildfire seasons, and most recently, staff changes. MOU extensions approved in
December, 2021 and February 2023 have both expired. Staff is requesting to renew the
MOU until the end of 2024 to complete the work.
Proposal:
The approved MOU is proposed to be extended through December 31, 2024 (see
Attachment 2: “Approved MOU,” and Attachment 3: “MOU Extension Document”). There
are no charges or fees to participate in the CPAW program.
Advantages:
• May help the Estes Park community better prepare for wildfire emergencies, and
become more resilient when facing them.
• May lead to increased preservation of life and property.
• May strengthen the Town’s comprehensive planning and messaging abilities.
Disadvantages:
• None identified. The MOU does not create a binding obligation, and all services
come at no direct cost to the community.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the MOU extension.
Finance/Resource Impact:
Little or none. Participation in the CPAW program is voluntary and comes at no direct
cost to the community, and the in-kind staff time dedicated to program participation is
expected to fit within the schedules of current employees.
Level of Public Interest
Medium. Comments – generally in the form of support for CPAW participation, or
related to wildfire hazard generally – have been received by the Community
Development Department sporadically since the MOU was and approved and extended
through 2022.
Sample Motion:
I move that the Town Board of Trustees APPROVE Resolution 30-24.

RE: Estes Park Housing Authority Expenditure of 6E Funds to Habitat for
Humanity Workforce Housing
(Mark all that apply)
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER______________
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective:
The Estes Park Housing Authority proposes the use of 6E funds to purchase a deed
restriction for a home owned by Habitat for Humanity.
Present Situation:
The Estes Park Housing Authority (EPHA) has expressed interest in supporting efforts
made by Habitat for Humanity to purchase and remodel a home at 213 Big Horn Drive.
EPHA seeks to compensate Habitat for Humanity by placing a workforce deed
restriction on the property. The property is to be sold with the deed restriction.
EPHA intends to roll out a deed restriction purchase program, but not before this
transaction occurs. Therefore, the expenditure of 6E funds must be reviewed by the
Estes Park Town Board before they can issue the deed restriction and administer the
funds to Habitat for Humanity.
Proposal:
The Estes Park Housing Authority (EPHA) proposes a one-off approval of distributing
6E funds to place a deed restriction on 213 Big Horn Drive. The deed restriction
includes the following:
• The purchaser of the home must meet the workforce definition as defined by EPHA, a
resident who lives and works in the Estes Park R3 School District boundary at least 30
hours/week
• Annual compliance with the workforce requirement would not be applicable to this home,
but would reside with the land for 90 years and each subsequent owner.
• EPHA would compensate Habitat for Humanity for the workforce deed restriction for
approximately 20% of the sales price
Advantages:
• Increase workforce housing units in the Estes Valley
Disadvantages:
None.
Action Recommended:
None.
Finance/Resource Impact:
• $72,000 from the Estes Park Housing Authority’s 6E workforce housing budget; this
amount represents 20% of the home sale price.
Level of Public Interest

No action needed.

Deed of Trust, or if a default occurs in a prior lien, or if any action or proceeding is commenced

sums secured by this Deed of Trust immediately prior to the date of taking bears to Borrower's equity
in the Property immediately prior to the date of taking. Borrower's equity in the Property means the
fair market value of the Property less the amount of sums secured by both this Deed of Trust and all
prior liens (except taxes) that are to receive any of the award, all at the value immediately prior to the

Insurance) nor change the amount of such installments.

of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust granted by Lender to any successor in interest of Borrower
shall not operate to release, in any manner, the liability of the original Borrower, nor Borrower's
successors in interest, from the original terms of this Deed of Trust. Lender shall not be required to
commence proceedings against such successor or refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise
modify amortization of the sums secured by this Deed of Trust by reason of any demand made by the
original Borrower nor Borrower's successors in interest.

or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by law, shall not be a waiver or preclude the exercise of

this Deed of Trust shall be deemed to have been given to Borrower or Lender when given in
any manner designated herein.
17. Governing Law; Severability. The Note and this Deed of Trust shall be governed by the
law of Colorado. In the event that any provision or clause of this Deed of Trust or the Note conflicts

of Trust and Note are declared to be severable.

hereby shall remain in full force and effect as though no Acceleration had occurred, and the
foreclosure proceedings shall be discontinued.
20. Assignment of Rents; Appointment of Receiver; Lender in Possession. As additional
security hereunder, Borrower hereby assigns to Lender the rents of the Property; however,
Borrower shall, prior to Acceleration under paragraph 18 (Acceleration; Foreclosure; Other
Remedies) or abandonment of the Property, have the right to collect and retain such rents as
they become due and payable. Lender or the holder of the Trustee's certificate of purchase shall
be entitled to a receiver for the Property after Acceleration under paragraph 18 (Acceleration;
Foreclosure; Other Remedies), and shall also be so entitled during the time covered by
foreclosure proceedings and the period of redemption, if any; and shall be entitled thereto as a
matter of right without regard to the solvency or insolvency of Borrower or of the then owner
of the Property, and without regard to the value thereof. Such receiver may be appointed by
any Court of competent jurisdiction upon ex parte application and without notice being hereby
expressly waived.
Upon Acceleration under paragraph 18 (Acceleration; Foreclosure; Other Remedies) or
abandonment of the Property, Lender, in person, by agent or by judicially-appointed receiver,
shall be entitled to enter upon, take possession of and manage the Property and to collect the
rents of the Property including those past due. All rents collected by Lender or the receiver
shall be applied, first, to payment of the costs of preservation and management of the Property,
second, to payments due upon prior liens, and then to the sums secured by this Deed of Trust.
Lender and the receiver shall be liable to account only for those rents actually received.
21. Release. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Deed of Trust, Lender shall cause
Trustee to release this Deed of Trust and shall produce for Trustee the Note. Borrower shall
pay all costs of recordation and shall pay the statutory Trustee's fees. If Lender shall not
produce the Note as aforesaid, then Lender, upon notice in accordance with paragraph 16
(Notice) from Borrower to Lender, shall obtain, at Lender's expense, and file any lost
instrument bond required by Trustee or pay the cost thereof to effect the release of this Deed
of Trust.
22. Waiver of Exemptions. Borrower hereby waives all right of homestead and any other
exemption in the Property under state or federal law presently existing or hereafter enacted.
23. Transfer of the Property; Assumption. The following events shall be referred to herein as a
"Transfer": (i) a transfer or conveyance of title (or any portion thereof, legal or equitable) of the
Property (or any part thereof or interest therein), (ii) the execution of a contract or agreement creating
a right to title (or any portion thereof, legal or equitable) in the Property (or any part thereof or
interest therein), (iii) or an agreement granting a possessory right in the Property (or any portion
thereof), in excess of three (3) years, (iv) a sale or transfer of, or the execution of a contract or
agreement creating a right to acquire or receive, more than fifty percent (50%) of the controlling
interest or more than fifty percent (50%) of the beneficial interest in the Borrower, (v) the
Exhibit B – Deed of Trust
Page 7 of 8
reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of the Borrower.
Not to be included as a Transfer are (i) the creation of a lien or encumbrance subordinate to this Deed
of Trust, (ii) the creation of a purchase money security interest for household appliances, or (iii) a
transfer by devise, descent or by operation of the law upon the death of a joint tenant. At the election
of Lender, in the event of each and every transfer:
A. All sums secured by this Deed of Trust shall become immediately due and payable
(Acceleration).
B. If a Transfer occurs and should Lender not exercise Lender's option pursuant to this paragraph
24 to Accelerate, Transferee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the obligations of
Borrower under this Deed of Trust including all sums secured hereby whether or not the
instrument evidencing such conveyance, contract or grant expressly so provides. This
covenant shall run with the Property and remain in full force and effect until said sums are
paid in full. The Lender may without notice to the Borrower deal with Transferee in the same
manner as with the Borrower with reference to said sums including the payment or credit to
Transferee of undisbursed reserve Funds on payment in full of said sums, without in anyway
altering or discharging the Borrower's liability hereunder for the obligations hereby secured.
C. Should Lender not elect to Accelerate upon the occurrence of such Transfer then, subject to
(b) above, the mere fact of a lapse of time or the acceptance of payment subsequent to any of
such events, whether or not Lender had actual or constructive notice of such Transfer, shall
not be deemed a waiver of Lender's right to make such election nor shall Lender be estopped
therefrom by virtue thereof. The issuance on behalf of the Lender of a routine statement
showing the status of the loan, whether or not Lender had actual or constructive notice of such
Transfer, shall not be a waiver or estoppel of Lender's said rights.
24. Borrower's Copy. Borrower acknowledges receipt of copy of the Note and this Deed of Trust.

From: Jeremy Creamean, Finance Director
Date: April 9, 2024
RE: Resolution 32-24, Supplemental Budget Appropriations #2 to the 2024
Budget
(Mark all that apply)
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER______________
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective:
To re-appropriate remaining balances for uncompleted 2023 purchase orders to
complete the acquisition of goods and services ordered in 2023, but not received by the
end of 2023. In addition, re-appropriate funds for uncompleted projects underway, but
not completed, in 2023.
Present Situation:
At the end of each year, the Town will have certain purchases, contracts or projects
already in progress that were not completed within the fiscal year just ending. 2023 was
no exception to this process with several purchase orders and projects still in process at
year end.
Purchase orders (PO’s) were entered into the 2023 accounting records to encumber the
2023 budgets for specific purchases. At the end of 2023, the balances left on the PO’s
need to be rolled over into the 2024 budget as a budget amendment to complete these
transactions in the new year. This is a standard accounting process common to
governmental entities that use purchase orders.
Uncompleted projects that were budgeted in 2023 but were not completed within the
year also need to be evaluated. A PO is only pulled on a contract or actual outstanding
order from a specific vendor. However, not all of a project’s budget may be contracted
and encumbered by a PO at the end of the year.
The Town follows the practice of budgeting for the full project up front when possible,
requiring the funding to be clearly identified and budgeted before the project can start.
The 2024 budget was developed with the expectation that these 2023 projects would be
completed and the appropriations would be fully utilized in 2023. Since some of the
projects were not completed, the unused appropriations fall to fund balance and must
be re-appropriated in 2024 to allow completion of the project. Also, any grants
associated with these projects must also be rolled over into 2024 to help pay for the
project costs. This is a standard accounting process common to governmental entities
that perform significant capital projects each year.
Proposal:
Staff is seeking approval of the budget resolution authorizing the proposed budget
amendments. Detailed schedules of the proposed amendments are included in the
packet materials listing out each purchase order, capital project, other amendment and
related grant revenues. The following contains explanations of the more significant
items to be rolled forward or added to 2024:
Summary of Supplemental Appropriations:
General Fund – Increase of $2,873,151
This includes PO’s totaling $456,469 as detailed in the attached exhibit. The General
Fund increase also includes $528,411 in project rollovers, the most significant of which
are $262,631 for the development code rewrite and $95,580 for Fall River Trail Repairs.
Related grant revenue rollovers for were included as well. Finally, the General Fund
increase includes $1,888,271 for transfers out to the Community Reinvestment Fund to

Flood Mitigation Design project. Project rollovers totaling $3,223,831 include the
wildfire mitigation project, street shop remodel, Tregent restroom remodel, Town Hall
AC Unit replacement, ERP Accounting System replacement project, and Museum
HVAC replacement, amongst others. The amendment also includes roll forwards of
grant revenues associated with certain projects, as well as a transfer from the general
fund, as noted above.
Conservation Trust Fund – Increase of $19,000
This increase includes rollover of $19,000 for the Thumb Open Space parking lot
improvements.
Larimer County Open Space Fund – Increase of $573,055
This includes PO’s totaling $135,404 with the most significant PO for the Fall River Trail
project. Project rollovers totaled $437,651, again primarily for the Fall River Trail
project. This amendment also includes roll forwards of grant revenues associated with
the Fall River Trail project.
Trails Expansion Fund – Increase of $5,527,776
This includes PO rollovers of $385,348 for the Fall River Trail project. Project rollovers
totaled $5,142,428, primarily for the Fall River Trail and Graves Avenue projects. The
amendment also includes roll forwards of grants for some of these projects.
Parking Services Fund – Increase of $282,974
This includes purchase order rollovers of $92,974 for uncompleted PO’s to the Car
Park. Project rollovers include $190,000 for the Big Horn Parking structure design.
Street Improvement Fund – Increase of $5,095,231
This includes purchase order rollovers of $204,453, including $73,696 for the Bureau
Area Phase 4 project, $38,200 for Pine Knolls Drive improvements, and $35,918 for
Cleave Street rehabilitation. Project rollovers totaled $4,953,012, including $2,787,886
for the Cleave Street Rehabilitation and $1,287,000 for the EP Mobility Hub, as well as
$503,710 for Bureau Area Phase 4. The amendment also includes a reduction of
$62,634 related to the Internal Services Director position. See the Budget Change
Summary in the attachment as well as the Information Systems Technology Fund
section below for more information. The amendment also includes roll forwards of
grants for some of these projects.
Power and Communications Fund – Increase of $3,556,452
This includes purchase order rollovers of $628,458 including $109,656 to replace two
trucks, $52,739 for utility studies, $186,995 for broadband contracts. Project rollovers of
$2,927,994 include $1,014,420 for the Fire Mitigation Line Replacement project,
$800,000 to replace two bucket trucks, $323,726 for broadband projects, and $317,912
for the new ERP system project. The amendment also includes roll forwards of grants
for some of these projects.
Water Fund – Increase of $14,263,459
This includes purchase order rollovers of $6,088,876, of which $5,886,746 is for the
Prospect Mountain Water District project. Project rollovers of $8,174,584 include
$3,214,565 for Prospect Mountain Water District project, $2,462,683 for the Bureau
Area water line project, $400,000 for the Mary’s Lake Water Pump Station Land
Purchase, $650,000 for the Mary’s Lake WTP Pretreatment – Phase 1 Design project,
$520,522 for the Carriage Lane Water Main Replacement, and additional amounts for
numerous other projects detailed out on the project sheet. The amendment also
includes roll forwards of grants and other funding for some of these projects.
Fleet Maintenance Fund – Increase of $582,239
This includes purchase orders of $19,380, of which $12,839 was for design for a
remodel. Project rollovers of $562,860 include $559,514 for the electric trolley facility
and charge station. The amendment also includes roll forwards of grants and other
funding for some of these projects.
Information Systems Technology Fund - Increase of $77,854
This includes purchase order rollovers of $44,799 for various IT projects. In addition,
$33,055 is included to appropriate funds for the Internal Services Director position. As
noted in the budget change summary, budget savings were created by converting the
mobility services manager position to this position, but 40% of those savings were in the
Parking Services Fund, and charging that fund for a position that supports internal
services would not be appropriate. In future years, the Internal Services Director
position will be funded by allocations across all of the town’s internal service funds,
including Fleet, Information Technology, Risk Management, and a to-be-created
Facilities Internal Services Fund.
Vehicle Replacement Fund – Increase of $209,131
Purchase orders totaling $28,003 are outstanding for a police vehicle replacement. In
addition, project rollovers of $181,128 include $137,078 to replace two vehicles and
additional funding to complete several police vehicle replacements.
Risk Management Fund – Increase of $18,056
This amount is included to appropriate funds for the Internal Services Director position.
As noted in the budget change summary, budget savings were created by converting
the mobility services manager position to this position, but 40% of those savings were in

Internal Services Director - To appropriate funds for the Internal

Director will be funded by allocations across the Town's internal
service funds (Fleet, Information Technology, Risk Management,

one, we are proposing the use of salary savings from the
converted Mobility Services Manager position and fund balance
from the Information Technology Internal Service Fund and Risk
Management Fund. The use of fund balance for one year is
necessary because 40% of the Mobility Services Manager
position was paid for by the Parking Services Fund, an allocation

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Memo

Board of Trustees

Date: April 9, 2024
RE: Ordinance 06-24 Amending Section 5.3 of the Estes Park Development
Code Regarding Vehicle Based Accommodations for Seasonal
Employees
(Mark all that apply)
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER______________
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective:
To amend the Estes Park Development Code (EPDC) to allow Vehicle Based
Accommodations for Seasonal Employees (VBASE) in order to allow qualified
individuals to use an RV or similar vehicle as a temporary dwelling unit on private
commercial property subject to the enclosed regulations as a one-year pilot program.
Present Situation:
Housing related costs in the Town of Estes Park have escalated rapidly in recent years,
as evidenced by median home sales prices rising from $392,000 in March 2020 to
$585,000 in September 2022—a 50% increase in two and a half years. Affordability has
declined in the rental market as well, as rent hikes outpaced income growth and levels of
cost burden for renters rose from 41% in 2010 to 63% in 2020 in Estes Park according to
the 2023 Estes Valley Housing Needs Assessment & Strategic Plan (Assessment).
Beyond the burden of high rents, even finding an available rental can be challenging. The
rental vacancy rate in Estes Park is currently approaching zero while a balanced rental
market typically has vacancy rates of 5-10%.
Estes Park relies on a tourism-based economy that is seasonal in nature with
approximately 5,250 summer seasonal jobs compared to approximately 4,860 year-round
jobs according to the Assessment. With little available workforce housing, businesses
face difficulty hiring adequate staff to deliver services. In 2021 there were 740 unfilled
jobs in the Estes Valley, a 30% increase since 2015 according to the Assessment. There
is a need for approximately 132 units to accommodate seasonal workforce according to
the Assessment. Approximately 3% of seasonal workers indicated living in their car,
camper, or RV.
Planning staff met with other Town departments and external agencies in April, 2023 to
discuss the proposed pilot program, ask questions, and gather feedback. Attendees
included staff from the Building Division, Public Works, Parking/Transit, Utilities, Police
Department, both Sanitation Districts, Estes Valley Fire Protection District, Estes Park
Economic Development Corporation, and Estes Chamber of Commerce. Most attendees
were in favor of developing and implementing a pilot program. Town Board Study
Sessions were held in May, 2023 to discuss the concept at a high level and February,
2024 to review a first draft of regulations prepared by staff. A redlined version of changes
from the February study session is enclosed. Changes include:
• Clarifying eligible vehicles, which includes slide-in truck campers but excludes
truck toppers, tiny homes, and passenger vehicles.
• Revising the definition of Qualified Occupant to remove the requirement to be
employed within the Estes Park School District boundary. Qualified Occupants are
required to be employed on the same site of the VBASE Unit or on another site
under the same or affiliated ownership.
• Deleting the requirement for a Town water tap and access to Town water. Water
can be provided by the Town or permitted well.
• Clarifying that black water tanks must be dumped at permitted RV dump station.
• Adding requirement for smoke detector.
• Removing references to inspections without search warrant.
• Deleting enforcement provisions, as enforcement will be governed by existing code
regulations.
• Added stipulation that no business may be operated out of VBASE Unit.
• Added requirement that application shall include a drawing showing the proposed
location of the VBASE Unit on the site.
• Deleted language related to dumping grey water tank on site due to possible state
statute conflict.
• Edited maximum occupancy to remove reference to family.
Proposal:
A summary of the proposed ordinance is as follows:
• Permit required and must be renewed monthly
• Season: May 1 – October 31
• Eligible vehicles: travel trailers, fifth wheel trailers, camping trailers, motor homes,
or slide-in truck campers which may be used as a temporary dwelling or sleeping
place
• Employment requirement: occupant must be employed on-site or another site
under same ownership and work 30+ hours per week
• Zoning: Permitted only in non-residential zones
• Setbacks: must meet zone district setbacks
• Siting: not permitted to be located:
1. Within the extended boundaries of a crosswalk;
2. Within ten (10) feet of the extension of any primary building entranceway,
and or doorway;
3. In a location in which it may impede or interfere with or visually obstruct;
a. The safe movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic;
b. Parking lot circulation;
c. Required parking spaces;
d. Access to any public street, alley or sidewalk;
e. Fire lanes
• Must have access to restrooms, electricity, and water.
Advantages:
• Allowing seasonal VBASE housing on commercial sites could help to temporarily
alleviate the workforce housing shortage.
• Allowing seasonal VBASE housing on commercial sites could help business
owners recruit and retain workers during the summer season.
• Implementing a permitting process could reduce the number of unauthorized
temporary VBASE dwellers in Estes Park, making it easier for Code Enforcement
to monitor and safer for VBASE occupants.
• This program would have a relatively low impact on Town infrastructure, utilities,
and other services.
• By implementing this program as a pilot, results can be monitored and the program
discontinued if unsuccessful or underutilized.
Disadvantages:
• There’s a risk some users may choose improper methods of disposing of black
water, such as dumping in a storm sewer or body of water.
• Code compliance for VBASE parking could create additional strain on the Police
Department, as there is currently only one Code Enforcement officer.
• VBASE users could be vulnerable to property crime and other safety concerns.
• Not all businesses would be eligible to offer this program to employees due to
parking availability and site conditions.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends Town Board approve the ordinance.
Finance/Resource Impact:
Little to none.
Level of Public Interest
Low
Sample Motion:
I move that the Town Board of Trustees approve Ordinance 06-24.
I move that the Town Board of Trustees deny Ordinance 06-24.
I move to continue Ordinance 06-24 to the next regularly scheduled meeting, finding that
[state reasons for continuance].

Ordinance 06-24 Amending Section 5.3 of the Estes Park Development Code Regarding Vehicle Based Accommodations for Seasonal Employees
Presented by Paul Hornbeck, Senior Planner
Present Situation
• Median home sales prices have risen
50% ($392,000 in March 2020 to
$585,000 in September 2022) in 2.5
years.
• Rent hikes outpaced income growth
and levels of cost burden for renters
rose from 41% in 2010 to 63% in 2020
• Rental vacancy rate nearly 0%; a
balanced rental market typically has
vacancy rates of 5-10%.
• Town relies on a tourism-based
economy that is seasonal in nature with
approximately 5,250 summer seasonal
jobs compared to approximately 4,860
year-round jobs.
• In 2021 there were 740 unfilled jobs in
the Estes Valley, a 30% increase since

Present Situation
Changes from the February study session include:
• Clarifying eligible vehicles, which includes slide-in truck campers but excludes truck toppers, tiny homes,
and passenger vehicles.
• Revising the definition of Qualified Occupant to remove the requirement to be employed within the Estes
Park School District boundary. Qualified Occupants are required to be employed on the same site of the
VBASE Unit or on another site under the same or affiliated ownership.
• Deleting the requirement for a Town water tap and access to Town water. Water can be provided by the
Town or permitted well.
• Clarifying that black water tanks must be dumped at permitted RV dump station.
• Adding requirement for smoke detector.
• Removing references to inspections without search warrant.
• Deleting enforcement provisions, as enforcement will be governed by existing code regulations.
• Added stipulation that no business may be operated out of VBASE Unit.
• Added requirement that application shall include a drawing showing the proposed location of the VBASE
Unit on the site.
• Deleted language related to dumping grey water tank on site due to possible state statute conflict.
• Edited maximum occupancy to remove reference to family.
Proposal
• One year pilot program
• Permit required and must be renewed monthly
• Season: May 1 – October 31
• Eligible vehicles: travel trailers, fifth wheel trailers, camping trailers, motor homes, or slide-in truck campers which may
be used as a temporary dwelling or sleeping place
• Employment requirement: occupant must be employed on-site or another site under same ownership and work 30+
hours per week
• Zoning: Permitted only in non-residential zones
• Setbacks: must meet zone district setbacks
• Siting: not permitted to be located:
• Within the extended boundaries of a crosswalk;
• Within ten (10) feet of the extension of any primary building entranceway, and or doorway;
• In a location in which it may impede or interfere with or visually obstruct;

Advantages
Allowing seasonal VBASE housing on commercial sites could help to temporarily alleviate the workforce
housing shortage.
Allowing seasonal VBASE housing on commercial sites could help business owners recruit and retain
workers during the summer season.
Implementing a permitting process could reduce the number of unauthorized temporary VBASE dwellers
in Estes Park, making it easier for Code Enforcement to monitor and safer for VBASE occupants.
This program would have a relatively low impact on Town infrastructure, utilities, and other services.
By implementing this program as a pilot, results can be monitored and the program discontinued if
unsuccessful or underutilized.
Disadvantages
• There’s a risk some users may choose improper methods of disposing of black water, such as dumping in
a storm sewer or body of water.
• Code compliance for VBASE parking could create additional strain on the Police Department, as there is
currently only one Code Enforcement officer.
• VBASE users could be vulnerable to property crime and other safety concerns.
• Not all businesses would be eligible to offer this program to employees due to parking availability and site
conditions.

Subject: Proposal/Status of ARPA Funding - Phase One of the Fish Hatchery Workforce Housing Project
Dear Town of Estes Park and Larimer County,
I am writing to formally present the proposal for the utilization of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
funds for Phase One of the Fish Hatchery Workforce Housing Project, in partnership with the Town of Estes Park.
This project is of paramount importance to the community, addressing the pressing issue of affordable housing, and
we believe that ARPA funds are instrumental in ensuring the success and affordability of this development.
Project Summary:
The Fish Hatchery Workforce Housing Project aims to construct up to 190 rental units on Town-owned
property spanning approximately 22 acres in collaboration with the Estes Park Housing Authority (EPHA). The
primary goal is to provide housing opportunities for the local workforce, with rental rates ranging from 30-150% of
the area median income.
Current Status:
After encountering challenges related to financial markets, dramatic increases in construction costs, and
market demand, the Town of Estes Park, in partnership with EPHA, decided not to proceed with the initially
selected developer for the Fish Hatchery site. Subsequently, the Town anticipates entering into an agreement with
EPHA to facilitate the development of this crucial workforce housing project. Our collective efforts from 2021-
2023 have laid the foundation for this new direction. EPHA intends to pursue Low-Income Housing Tax Credits
(LIHTC) to develop a portion of the site in collaboration with our development partners. The total project cost is
expected to be approximately $65-70 million.
Phase One of the project includes a comprehensive community outreach program, necessary
predevelopment work, and the generation of substantial reports, including traffic studies, environmental
assessments, market needs evaluations, wildlife assessments, geotechnical subsoil studies, and cultural resource
inventory, if required.
The local/regional problem or opportunity ARPA funds would address:
The withdrawal from the initial developer agreement and the subsequent engagement of EPHA to lead the
workforce housing development underlines the significance of ARPA funding. The 2023 Housing Needs
Attachment 3Exhibit A
Page 2 of 2
C:\Users\scott moulton\Downloads\EPHA Letter to TOEP_ARPA.doc
Assessment and Strategic Plan have identified the pressing need for additional dwellings in the Estes Valley to meet
both existing and anticipated future demand. The Housing Strategic Plan has set a 5-year target of developing
between 300 and 400 dwellings. ARPA funds will play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges by helping us
bridge the housing gap in our community.
Town of Estes Park Contributions:
The Town's contributions to this project are substantial, including the utilization of Town-owned property
valued at around $2.5 million in 2021. Additionally, the Town is willing to leverage 6E Lodging Tax revenues to
help finance the project, and we anticipate waiving eligible development review fees while allowing tap fees to be
amortized over a 10-year period, estimated at around $4 million. Preliminary estimates for funding Phase One
equate to $2,025,000.
ARPA Funding Request:
We kindly request $2 million in ARPA funds remain committed to the Town of Estes Park and the Fish
Hatchery Neighborhood to finance Phase One of the workforce housing project, covering robust community
outreach, predevelopment work, and substantial predevelopment reporting. Any additional funding required for
Phase One will most likely be sourced from 6E Tax dollars and/or grants. The importance of ARPA funds to
catalyzing the Fish Hatchery Neighborhood development cannot be understated. Nor can the prospective nature of
our stage of development.
Stepping back and reimagining this development to ensure the housing diversity and affordability needs of
the Estes Valley are met as completely as possible is necessary and appropriate despite stretching out the time to
develop. If ARPA funds were to be withdrawn at this critical stage, the path to completing this critical
infrastructure project for the benefit of the Estes Valley would become clouded in uncertainty. EPHA in
coordination with the Town of Estes Park puts forward the estimated Phase One predevelopment cost as our best
estimate at this early stage of development conceptualization. While these figures represent our best estimate and
are likely to change, we fully expect and are committed to pushing this development forward as quickly and
efficiently as possible if ARPA funds remain committed to the project.
Timeframe:
EPHA anticipates pursuing Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) in conjunction with our
development partners. The timing and the ability to commence construction of this project will depend on the
funding process, but we hope to begin construction in 2025 after a two-year Phase One period.
In conclusion, ARPA funds are crucial to the successful realization of the Fish Hatchery Workforce
Housing Project. By providing these funds, the Town of Estes Park can continue to address the affordable housing
crisis and contribute to the well-being and prosperity of our community. We appreciate your consideration of this
proposal and look forward to working together to make this vision a reality.
Thank you for your continued commitment to the betterment of Estes Park and its residents.
Sincerely,

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Koenig
Board of Trustees
From: Town Administrator Machalek
Date: April 9, 2024
RE: Ordinance 07-24 Amending Chapter 14.12 of the Estes Park Municipal
Code to Adopt the 2021 Edition of the International Property Maintenance
Code, with Amendments
(Mark all that apply)
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER: _____________
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective:
Consider an amendment to the Estes Park Municipal Code to apply the elements of the
International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) previously adopted by the Town to all
existing residential structures used for long-term rentals (rentals for 30 days or more).
Present Situation:
Members of the Town Board have expressed concern about reports regarding the poor
condition of some rental units in Town. The 2021 American Community Survey
indicates that 1,196 of the Town’s 3,123 occupied housing units are renter-occupied
(~38%). At the March 12, 2024 Study Session, the Board indicated an interest in
adopting a code amendment to apply the IPMC to all long-term residential rental
housing (rented for 30 days or more), and enforcing the code using a complaint-based
process.
Proposal:
The attached proposed ordinance would amend the Municipal Code to apply the
elements of the IPMC previously adopted by the Town to all existing residential
structures used for long-term rentals (rentals for 30 days or more). Staff would enforce
these standards through a complaint-based process. The Town currently regulates only
nonresidential structures and premises using Chapters 1 and 2 of the IPMC.
Staff has met with representatives from SAFEbuilt who have indicated that the company
is willing to submit an hourly fee addendum to the Town’s existing contract to provide for
the training of the Code Enforcement Officer on responding to complaints, and for
conducting long-term rental housing inspections. This work would be billed separately to
the Town at a rate of $115/hour for Code Enforcement Officer Training and
$115/inspection for Long-term Rental Housing Inspections triggered by complaints.
Advantages:
• Provides a tool to address substandard housing conditions in long-term rentals
within Town limits.
• Strikes a balance between no Town involvement in the condition of long-term
rentals and a full-scale rental licensing program that would be more time-
intensive and expensive.
Disadvantages:
• Additional regulation may lead some owners of long-term residential units to
remove their units from the market.
• Managing complains and inspections will add to the workload demands of the
Town’s Building Division and Code Enforcement Officer, as well as to expenses
from training and inspection fees. The General Fund will need to cover these
impacts.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends approval of the attached Ordinance.
Finance/Resource Impact:
SAFEbuilt has quoted the Town the following prices:
• Code Enforcement Officer Training: $115/hour
• Long-term Rental Housing Inspection: $115/inspection
Level of Public Interest
Medium
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Ordinance 07-24.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 14.12.030 OF THE ESTES PARK
MUNICIPAL CODE TO APPLY THE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE
CODE TO RENTAL RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees has determined that it is in the best interest of
the Town to revise a local amendment to the previously adopted International Property
Maintenance Code; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees finds that ensuring the welfare of residents
renting long-term rentals (rentals for 30 or more days) is a matter of significant importance
to the Town; and
WHEREAS, the application of the adopted portions of the International Property
Maintenance Code to long-term residential rentals will help to ensure that these structures
remain safe and habitable.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Ellipses in this ordinance indicate material not reproduced as the Board
intends to leave that material in effect as it now reads.
Section 2: Section 14.12.030 of the Estes Park Municipal Code is hereby amended
to read as follows:
14.12.030 - International Property Maintenance Code Amended.
The entirety of the International Property Maintenance Code, adopted via section
101.4.4 of the International Building Code, is stricken with the exception of
Chapters 1 and 2 which shall remain. Section 101.2 is amended as follows, with
strikethroughs indicating deleted material and underlined material indicating
additions:
The provisions of this code shall apply to all existing residential and
nonresidential structures and all existing nonresidential premises, as well as all
existing residential structures and all existing residential premises that are rented
or leased or otherwise provided for compensation to occupants for terms of thirty
(30) days or more, . . . .
Section 3: This Ordinance shall take effect and be enforced thirty (30) days after
its adoption and publication by title.

TOWN CLERK Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Koenig
Board of Trustees
Through Town Administrator Machalek
From: Jackie Williamson, Town Clerk; Dan Kramer, Town Attorney
Date: April 09, 2024
RE: Ordinance 08-24 Temporary Moratorium on New Bed and Breakfast Inn
Business Licenses
Objective:
To consider an additional three-month temporary moratorium for bed & breakfast inn
licenses to allow the Town Board to review options to update the definition and
regulations in the Estes Park Municipal Code.
Present Situation:
Staff presented options and analysis to the Town Board at its March 26, 2024 meeting.
The Board requested additional information to review the matter further. The Board
further requested an additional three-month moratorium to complete the regulatory
update.
Proposal:
The attached ordinance would establish a third temporary moratorium on the issuance of
bed & breakfast licenses, lasting three months. The moratorium will allow the Board and
staff time to prepare revisions to the current language. The moratorium could end prior
to the three months if the Board takes action on revisions to the code sooner.
Advantages:
• The moratorium provides time to hold an additional study session and bring
forward revised code regulations.
Disadvantages:
• Current and future applications for bed & breakfasts would not be able to be
processed or issued for the next 3 months.
Action Recommended:
To approve Ordinance 08-24 to establish the moratorium.
Budget:
None.
Level of Public Interest.
Low for most of the community; high for existing bed and breakfast inn licensees.
Sample Motion:
I move to approve/deny Ordinance 08-24.

ORDINANCE NO. 08-24
AN ORDINANCE FOR A THREE-MONTH MORATORIUM ON NEW BED AND
BREAKFAST INN BUSINESS LICENSES
WHEREAS, bed and breakfast inns are a distinct category of business license
under the Estes Park Municipal Code, similar to a vacation home but requiring an on-site
manager to reside on the premises; and
WHEREAS, the Town has extensive regulations for vacation homes and less
extensive regulations for bed and breakfast inns; and
WHEREAS, the Town is concerned that property owners will begin imminently to
attempt to use bed and breakfast inn business licenses for businesses that more closely
resemble vacation homes, in order to avoid vacation home regulations; and
WHEREAS, the Town therefore faces an urgent need to update its bed and
breakfast inn business license regulations to ensure they are applied in a way that
matches the Town’s intent for the category; and
WHEREAS, the Town previously enacted two temporary moratoria, collectively
effective from May 23, 2023 until May 23, 2024, to give it the opportunity to update its bed
and breakfast inn regulations, and the update is not yet complete; and
WHEREAS, the Town desires to enact a third temporary moratorium, effective May
23, 2024, to give it the opportunity to update its bed and breakfast inn regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Effective beginning May 23, 2023, and continuing until August 23, 2024
or until earlier terminated by the Board of Trustees, the Town shall neither accept nor
process applications for new bed and breakfast inn business licenses as described in
chapter 5.20 of the Municipal Code, nor issue new such licenses. Any required renewals
of existing licenses may occur as provided in the Code. The purpose of this moratorium
is to allow the Town time to develop new regulations for bed and breakfast inns. Any
application for a bed and breakfast inn business license pending as of May 23, 2023 or
at any time during this moratorium carries with it no right to approval under preexisting
regulations. If ordinances change while such an application is pending, the application
would be evaluated under the terms of the new ordinances.
Section 2: This Ordinance shall take effect and be enforced thirty (30) days after
its adoption and publication.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park,
Colorado this ____ day of _______________, 2024.

TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE Report
To: Honorable Mayor Koenig
Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Jackie Williamson, Town Clerk
Date: April 9, 2024
RE: Bed & Breakfast Code Amendments
Objective:
To summarize and review the Board’s discussion at the March 26, 2024 meeting on
proposed code amendments to bed and breakfast regulations.
Staff requests direction from the Board on the code amendments, and more specifically,
whether current bed and breakfast licenses should be grandfathered, and if so, how.
Present Situation:
Since May 2023, staff has been working with the Board to develop amendments to the
bed and breakfast regulations. Proposed regulations were brought forward to the Board
in November 2023 that attempted to provide the requirements for owner/on-site
manager residency, meal service, clearly define the operation and use of a bed &
breakfast to differentiate them from vacation homes, and outline grandfathering for
current licenses. The Board had several additional questions and concerns and
requested staff bring forward another discussion at a study session.
During the March 26, 2024 board meeting, staff presented a report and discussion item
on B&B code amendments. The Board stated consensus on the following items:
owner/on-site manager (innkeeper) is to reside in the same unit as the B&B, the
innkeeper is to interact with the guests and be available within 30 minutes, the B&B
must offer breakfast to its guests, no transferring of the grandfathered use, a drawing of
the property to outline common areas, guest only uses, and innkeeper only uses, and
the need for a life safety inspection for all B&Bs. The Board was split on the
grandfathering of the current 11 licensed properties. The Board requested staff outline
options for their consideration at the April 9, 2024 meeting.
Proposal:
The attached presentation outlines four options for the Board to consider which include:
Option 1 – No change to the current code regulations; Option 2 – Adoption of the
revised code regulations with a grace period for current licenses to come into
compliance; Option 3 – Partial grandfathering to include a drawing and a life safety
inspection; and Option 4 – Grandfather current licenses until the property is transferred
or no longer being used as a B&B.
Option 2 would be in alignment with how vacation home regulations adopted in 2016
were implemented. Vacation home owners were provided 24 months to come into
compliance with the new regulations. This afforded them the ability to continue to honor
current reservations while the use came into compliance with adopted regulations. This
option would further provide the time needed for staff to review the hosted vacation
home model and address both development and municipal code changes that would be
needed.
Advantages:
• Selection of an option will provide staff the direction needed to develop code
amendments.
• Clearly outline the regulations for the operation of a bed & breakfast for staff,
owners and neighbors with the adoption of new regulations.
• Differentiate a bed and breakfast from a vacation home.
• Allow staff time to review a third category of short-term rentals as directed by the
Board.
Disadvantages:
• Current businesses would need to change operations to meet the new regulations if
they are not grandfathered, or if there is a grace period to come into compliance.
• Additional application requirements would be required depending on the option
recommended by the Board.
Action Recommended:
Provide staff with direction on how to proceed.
Finance/Resource Impact:
Staff time depending on the direction received by the Board.
Level of Public Interest
Low at this time for the general community but high for those interested in operating a
B&B or those already licensed.

450 Lakefront St Short Term Rental Parking Tickets Review
Parking regulations for STR
My hope today is to communicate my concerns regarding Short Term Rental STR parking
regulations,and my thoughts on how these may be improved to meet their intended purpose.
The property in question is 450 Lakefront St,map below.No other property that we own or
manage has issues with parking.After receiving my first parking ticket,I asked town officials
and STR owners multiple times over the past two years,if there have been other parking tickets
issued.To date,I’m not aware of any parking tickets issued to a property other than my
Lakefront street property.I manage 28 homes in Estes Park and we have had only one other
property have a parking complaint called in by a neighbor,and it was addressed immediately.
Lakefront St is a very unique parking issue created by one neighbor,with the intended purpose
to force the town to remove my STR permit.To my knowledge,no other neighbors have called
to issue a complaint,either to my office or the police.This neighbor has solicited his neighbors
to ask them to submit a complaint and even tried to submit one on behalf of his neighbor.This
approach was rejected by the police.
I firmly believe that his previous position in town has made this issue possible.
I am asking that this portion of the regulation be looked at to make needed changes to better
protect the homeowners and guests,and to provide code enforcement with more discretion
when it comes to issuing tickets.
STR Parking Regulations
(4)Parking.
a.Minimum required off-street parking.Except in the CD Downtown Commercial Zoning District,
the number of off-street parking spaces available to a vacation home or bed and breakfast inn
shall not be less than two (2).
We can park at least 15 vehicles on the property,not including inside the garage,and still
remain at least 100 ft from the street.This home has access to ample street parking.We could
ask visitors such as delivery persons to park on the street and walk up to the house,but given
that we set so far back from the street,this would be impractical and no one would even
consider it.
b.Maximum off-street parking—Residential zoning districts.The maximum number of vehicles
parked off-street on the vacation home or bed and breakfast inn property,and not parked or
stored in a fully enclosed garage,shall not exceed the number of bedrooms in the
vacation home.
We have 7 bedrooms,7 Vehicles outside
We have a 3 car garage,3 vehicles inside
10 Vehicles Max Parking Allowed on the property per current interpretation of the regulation.
This shows that the maximum number of vehicles currently allowed on this property per this
regulation is 10.We are considering adding a four-car detached garage to the property,giving
us capacity for 14 vehicles that could be parked.The way this regulation is being interpreted is
there can never be more than seven cars outside,regardless of the situation.I don’t believe this
was the intended purpose and is incorrect.To me it is clear that the parking regulation is more
about preventing traffic issues and possible aesthetics.
Also of note,not once has an official explained to me that there can be more than seven cars on
the property.The explanation has only been one car per bedroom.We are permitted seven
outside and ten total,if you include the three in the garage.I don’t think that they really
understood this,or we would have explained it and encouraged guests to park in the garage.
With the current strict interpretation,there are many ways that it can be violated.
Violation Scenarios with intent to violate
Our STR permit was issued in May of 2019.In the first 15-18 months of our STR permit being
issued,I am aware of a couple of scenarios where a guest held a wedding party or rehearsal at
the house,with many more cars than were permitted.I discussed parking with many of my
fellow STR owners and other property management companies and all of us were under the
understanding that the number of cars parked on site was more of an overnight requirement and
not during the day.I discussed this with the code enforcement officer at the time and was told
that this was never to be violated,24/7,and we were permitted to have seven cars.We were not
as aware of the full requirement as we needed to be and since then we have strictly
communicated the seven car requirement to our guest and we are not aware of any guests
exceeding nine vehicles since.
Violation Scenarios when not intentionally choosing to violate
There are many possible scenarios where this regulation can be violated,even when the guest
is making reasonable efforts to comply.All of our guests receive a minimum of three
communications before arrival.The last communication is verbal and comes on the day of
arrival.They are also aware of the excessive financial penalty that could be administered if
violated,and we would charge them.However,more than 7 vehicles still occur and have always
been a temporary situation and never an overnight situation.Below is my attempt to lay out a
couple of the most common reasons more than 7 vehicles can happen..
Service Provider
The most common scenario is a service provider coming to the home to deliver their service.If
the guest has reached the limit of cars parked outside and a service provider shows,it is easy to
exceed the number of cars allowed,even for a short time.One provider came to do the bride's
nails and another her hair,we had 9 vehicles outside.We caught this situation on camera and
contacted the guest to correct it.I do believe our guests have a legitimate complaint when this
happens.This is excessive and especially unnecessary given that the property can easily
handle extra vehicles.
With most properties,the service provider would most likely park on the street and walk up to
the home.This does not happen for this home because we have ample parking and the home
sits so far off the road.
Garaged Cars Parked Outside
With the three car garage and seven bedrooms,we are allowed 10 cars on the property at any
time.If a guest is using the garage and has 10 cars but decides to park one outside,for
example,returns to the property briefly and parks outside instead of driving back into the
garage,this could temporarily violate the seven car requirement on the outside,even though
they have access to the garage.This should not generate the need for a ticket.
This could also be a problem if the guest is not using the garage in the short term and a friend
stops by,causing the guest to exceed seven vehicles outside.
I do not believe that this regulation was intended to be a “got you”regulation for neighbors with
nothing better to do than sit in the parking lot at a local hotel looking for possible violations.It
was intended to not disrupt the traffic flow of the neighborhood,and this property has not done
this.Most of the photos that were taken had to be done from the parking lot of the local hotel to
be sure of the number of cars parked.I know the hotel owner would not appreciate their
property being used for this purpose.
Notifications from Neighbor
As part of mediation with the neighbor,he agreed to let me know of issues such as noise
directly and I would make sure to address them.We did receive two complaints in a year about
noise and all others were regarding parking.In all cases we addressed immediately.
Notifications from the neighbor were on Feb 11:8 vehicles,May 4:9 vehicles,May 28h:8
vehicles,July 2nd:8 vehicles,Aug 20th:8 vehicles.On August 20th he informed me that he
would no longer do my job and would call the police.Two tickets have been issued since this
date for parking,One was for 8 vehicles and the other for nine vehicles.
Here are photos submitted by the neighbor.In all of the photos you can see that there is still
ample parking on the property and in a couple of them you can see the 8th car in a temporary
parking position that left shortly after the photo was taken.
c.Maximum off-street parking—Non-residential zoning districts.Maximum parking for vacation
homes and bed and breakfast inns in non-residential zoning districts shall be regulated
according to the parking standards applicable to "hotel,small"as described in
Section 7.11(D)of the Estes Park Development Code.
NA
Possible Solutions
Possible solutions (in order of preference):
(1)Delete this language altogether.Existing code re;parking in residential neighborhoods
adequately addresses concerns of Town.
(2)Do not tie number of cars to number of bedrooms,and instead have it apply to available
parking on site:
b.Off-street parking—Residential zoning districts.Vehicles parked off-street on the
vacation home or bed and breakfast inn property,must be parked in a driveway,
parking lot,or garage on the vacation home.No vehicles may be parked in the yard of
the vacation home,non-designated areas of the vacation home,or in a manner that
blocks sidewalks or other access points used by the general public.
(3)Make the requirement applicable only to guests,but not invitees or service providers:
b.Maximum off-street parking—Residential zoning districts.The maximum number of
tenant vehicles parked off-street on the vacation home or bed and breakfast inn
property,and not parked or stored in a fully enclosed garage,shall not exceed the
number of bedrooms in the vacation home.The foregoing shall not apply to service
providers or invitees that are not staying overnight at the vacation home or bed and
breakfast inn property.
(4)Make the language discretionary:
b.Off-street parking—Residential zoning districts.The number of vehicles parked off-
street on the vacation home or bed and breakfast inn property,and not parked or
stored in a fully enclosed garage,shall not exceed a reasonable number as
determined by code enforcement.A number of vehicles in excess of the number of
bedrooms in the vacation home shall be presumed to be unreasonable unless the
vacation home has sufficient off street parking spaces to accommodate additional
vehicles.
Code enforcement should be able to evaluate the situation and determine if a guest blatantly
violated the rule,or if there was an extenuating circumstance to make this a non issue.
●Determine if the parking situation has created an issue for the neighborhood
●Assess number of vehicles total on the property including inside the garage
●Determine if any of the vehicles are temporary,such as a service provider
●Ask the guest to remove a car from the property if creating an issue
●Assess if there is sufficient signage to communicate parking requirements
●Issue ticket to the guest if needed
I believe that if a ticket is issued,the guest should receive the ticket instead of the property
management company if there is a true parking issue and the guest blatantly violated properly
communicated regulations.The property management company would be responsible for a
citation if they are proven to be negligent is their duty.It seems illegal to give someone a ticket
when they were diligent and had no ability to prevent it from happening.
Summary
The parking tickets I have received ultimately boil down to a neighbor dispute that is effectively
wasting the town's resources by requiring code enforcement to routinely come to your property
when there are no legitimate health or safety concerns.The former mayor is using the police
department as his own resource,which is ultimately detrimental to all other residents in the
community
Parking regulations should only address their intended purpose and not be used as a way to
threaten a person or business.Multiple parking tickets have been issued to this property and
have occurred for multiple reasons.In each of the situations I have addressed,I believe the
guest was sympathetic to the requirement and was just caught in a situation where they did not
keep count on cars.Each ticket issued was for a guest that was very aware of the parking
requirements and I believe were attempting to comply.These guests are usually families,not
party groups and come to enjoy Estes Park and RMNP.
When the former mayor sees more than seven vehicles,he takes a photo and calls the police
with the intent to issue a ticket.He is very aware that if a STR received 4 tickets their permit is
up for review and can be revoked.This is his ultimate goal and has resorted to parking tickets to
make it happen.He has harassed the police and other town officials demanding that they do
their job and issue these tickets.We have police records if needed to demonstrate this.
I have made multiple attempts to work with the former mayor including mediation.In our last
agreement he requested that he call me directly with any concerns so I would make sure to
address any issues.I made this commitment,even though I have a very capable team that
could address it.This worked for about seven months before he indicated to me that he was
tired of doing my job and would call the police going forward.
I ask that this regulation be reviewed for its effectiveness,and changes made to ensure that it is
meeting its intended purpose.
Sincerely
Ron Hartzog
