PUBLIC COMMENTS.
Alice Reuman/County citizen spoke on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Estes
Park in regards to the significant need for affordable housing in the Estes valley. She
thanked the board for their current and future work with affordable housing.
Marsha Groome/Town citizen requested the sound ordinance in Estes Park regarding
outdoor music venues be reduced to meet the state and county sound ordinances. She
raised this issue due to the noise levels from The Barrel at 251 Moraine Avenue. The
neighborhood has reached out to The Barrel multiple times, including a Restorative
Justice mediation to reconcile the noise issue. New safety concerns have arisen due to
traffic visibility around food trucks and delivery trucks.
Melissa Shearer/Town citizen spoke in support of Marsha Groome’s comments.
Members of the public speaking against the development of a mountain coaster at 980
Dry Gulch Road included Lois Pepino/Town citizen, Stan Schaffer/County citizen, Scott
Schneider/County citizen, Jan Gehlhausen/County citizen, Patty Freudenburg/County
citizen, Bill Baird/County citizen, Gwenda Purdy/Town citizen, Diana Van Der
Ploeg/County citizen, Dennis Sohocki/Town citizen, Alan Miller/County citizen, Dena
Sohocki/Town citizen, Suzanne Miller/County citizen, Lynn Bopp/Town citizen, Jeremey
Vetter/County citizen, and Johanna Darden/Town citizen. Concerns regarding the
development included a business enterprise being allowed in the RE-1 zone (Rural
Estate), potential conflicts of interest among staff and the Board, the lack of a public
meeting for the development, potential effects on traffic, noise and wildlife in the
neighborhood, and the interpretation of the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) by
staff. Multiple requests were made for the Town Board to seek an independent review of
the application from an outside entity and to intercede in the approval process of the
development.
Art Messal/Town citizen spoke regarding the Study Session review of the 2016 Housing
Needs Assessment Report. He questioned the data of the assessment and stated the
assessment does not substantiate its claims. DRAFT3

as at the August 28, 2018 meeting. Board discussion followed and has been
summarized: questioned jurisdictional issues of discussing county developments, the
future precedent that could result in discussing county issues, the public interest of the
proposed development, and confusion of the Towns role related to the development. It
was moved and seconded (Norris/Zornes) to approve discussion of the Mountain
Coaster development at the or the August 28, 2018 Board meeting, and it passed

2.ACTION ITEMS:
A.RESOLUTION #17-18 TO REAFFIRM MAXIMUM TOTAL ("CAP")
NUMBER OF VACATION HOMES IN RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.
Code Compliance Officer Hardin presented the Resolution to review and
determine if the vacation home cap outlined in the Estes Valley Development
Code (EVDC) should be adjusted. With the limited data, staff recommended
the cap remain at 588 and be reviewed in a year, per the EVDC, when more
information regarding the cap could be examined.
Trustee Cenac questioned the effect VHRs have had on long term rentals
and the initial reasons for innacting the cap. Code Compliance Officer Hardin
stated data on long term rentals has not been determined and the cap was
placed to diminish the effect VHRs have on residential neighborhoods.
Tony Schetzsle/Town citizen stated it would be premature to increass the
cap without more data.
Joanna Darden/Town citizen spoke in support of Tony Schetzsle’s
comments and stated VHRs compete with workforce housing. She
suggested the cap be decreased as current VHRs stop operating.
Mary Murphey/County citizen requested the Board consider how the cap
affects the housing market, multiple buyers have forgone purchasing in
Estes Park as a result of the cap.
It was moved and seconded (Norris/Zornes) to approve Resolution #17-
18 to reaffirm the cap in residential zones, and the motion passed
unanimously.
3.ACTION ITEMS:
1.MUNICIPAL PROSECUTOR APPOINTMENT. Mayor Jirsa presented the
Municipal Prosecutor appointment. Due to the recent appointment of Judge
Thrower in April 2018, Municipal Court has undergone multiple changes aimed
at updating procedures including the appointment of a Municipal Prosecutor.
The Town issued an RFP and three applicants were invited to interview with one
applicant declining. The interview team recommended the appointment of Avi
Rocklin to a term expiring April 28, 2020. Trustee Martchink questioned if a
backup prosecutor was considered. Mayor Jirsa replied it was considered and
determined to be unnecessary. Attorney White stated the appointment of a
Prosecutor would increase the professionalism of Municipal Court. It was
moved and seconded (Jirsa/Cenac) to approve the selection of Avi Rocklin
as the Municipal Court Prosecutor with a term expiring April 28, 2020, and
the motion passed unanimously.
4.REPORTS AND DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1.STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROJECT UPDATE. Manager Hook
provided an update on staff efforts to contract for GIS measurements of
impervious areas on all improved parcels within the EVDC boundary, subject to
a potential stormwater utility fee. Larimer County Engineering staff and Town
staff reviewed eight proposals and selected Digital Data Services to complete
the GIS services. A notice to proceed would be issued August 15, 2018 with
work anticipated to be completed in late September 2018. Staff plans to refine
the impervious area database, mail letters to owners of the approximate 7300
parcels to inform them of the Stormwater Management Project in November
2018, and conduct additional community outreach. Manager Hook proposed an
update be provided to the Board and County Commissioners following
completion of the GIS measurements. Further discussion with both elected
boards would follow the completion of the community outreach efforts inDRAFT 5
Board of Trustees – August 14, 2018 – Page 4
December 2018. Mayor Jirsa asked if the previous survey responses would
continue to be considered with future surveys. Manager Hook confirmed all
responses would be considered.
Joe Holtzman/Town citizen suggested the Town review a study produced by
the Town and the Army Corp of Engineers on flood mitigation and non-
structural mitigation. He stated the Stormwater Management Project would not
be effective.
John Meissner/Town citizen questioned if a range of imperviousness would
impact the utility fees for individual parcels. Manager Hook responded fees
would be calculated based on the percentage of impervious area on a parcel.
Whereupon Mayor Jirsa adjourned the meeting at 8:35 p.m.

FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD CHILD CARE RECOMMENDATION.
Karen Randinitis and Laurie Dale Marshall/Family Advisory Board (FAB) members
presented FAB’s recommendations for inclusions in the 2019 Strategic Plan to address
childcare in the Estes Valley because the lack of childcare options impacts a large
percentage of working families and impacts the ability of employers to find and maintain
employees. The recommendations included: 1) advocate for the passage of a childcare
taxing district at the 2019 state legislature and other legislation supporting childcare; 2)
establish a community fund to collect seed funds in the amount of $2 million to provide
startup costs for a new childcare center within 2 years, contribute to the fund, and
coordinate efforts to engage others to contribute to the fund; 3) dedicate Town property,
such as Stanley Park, to build a community-based, high-quality childcare facility with
approximately 4 acres; 4) identify and create multiple sustainable funding sources for
ongoing investments in quality childcare; and 5) dedicate Town staff time to coordinate
quality childcare initiatives in cooperation with FAB and other community organizations.
It was further mentioned the seed funds would not fully fund the building of a center but
would provide matching funds for grant to build the center to serve 40 – 50 children.
Board comments were heard and summarized: Mayor Jirsa stated a committee should
review the FAB proposal to determine if the recommendations would be viable. Trustee
Bangs stated the recommendations would be a starting point to address the childcare
issue within the community, and would support the formation of a committee of the
Town Board to address both childcare and housing needs in the community. Trustee
Martchink questioned what percentage the Town should contribute to the seed funds,
and if a list of other community groups has been developed to contribute to the fund.
After further discussion, the Board consensus was to have an adoc committee headed
up by Trustee Norris to bring back a proposal for a formal committee to address
childcare and housing.
REVIEW 2016 HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT.
Eric Blackhurst/Estes Park Housing Authority (EPHA) Board member provided an
overview of the housing needs assessments completed over the years with the first
occurring in 1990 commissioned by Forward Estes Park. A second study was
completed in 1999 and from it the formation of the Estes Park Housing Authority with
the Town Board acting as the Board through 2000. Additional studies have been
completed over the years to validate the previous studies and have demonstrated a
7
Town Board Study Session – August 14, 2018 – Page 2
continued need for additional workforce housing. He stated the studies are valid for
eight years.
Rita Kurelja/Former EPHA Executive Director reviewed the 2015 Housing Needs
Assessment RFP to provide an analysis of current and future needs for affordable and
other housing options, develop recommendations to bridge those identified gaps and
form a foundation for strategic planning. The study was focused on year-round needs.
The RFP was prepared with the assistance of the Loveland Housing Authority and two
EPHA Board members. Three responses were received with two having experience
outside of Colorado or within larger metropolitan areas. The third company Rees
Consulting Inc. & WSW Consulting had extensive experience in Colorado and small
Colorado communities and counties.
Naomi Hawf/ EPHA Executive Director reviewed the data sources used to complete the
2016 assessment, including two surveys, employee and household survey and
employer survey and interviews. Focus groups were held to gain additional information.
EPHA heard employers have unfilled jobs, employers have high turnover, less
applicants and less qualified applicants, employees are living in their cars due to the
lack of housing, not enough affordable units, services are impacted due to
understaffing, families leave Estes due to a lack of housing and childcare, and those
that commute can afford the $600 a month commuting costs and are likely to look for
other employment after a year of commuting. The study demonstrated a catch up need
of approximately 670 units and a keep up need of approximately 810-1020 units. The
keep up included 85% of retiring employees remaining in Estes Park and remaining in
their housing units. The breakdown further indicated 40% of housing would be need for
purchase ranging form $115,000 at 50% AMI and $350,000 at 150% AMI and 60% as
rentals at all income levels.
Scott Moulton/EPHA Housing Supervisor reviewed the strategic recommendations,
including the development of a strategic plan, creation of a workforce housing fund with
dedicated revenue sources, code amendments to encourage housing development,
utilize Town-owned land, apartment development and redevelopment, ADU regulations
for workforce housing rentals, draft and adopt workforce housing guidelines, encourage
downtown housing, hire a town housing coordinator, establish workforce housing
requirements on new development and support and expand employer assisted housing
efforts. Over the years the number of housing units needed was met and exceed by the
number of units built through 2008. From 2009 to 2018 there was a need for twice as
many units as were built.
After discussion the Board consensus was there continues to be an affordable and
workforce housing need within the community. The Board requested staff continue to
develop a housing strategic plan to address the issue.
PARCELS INAPPROPRIATELY LABELED AS OPEN SPACE ON ZONING MAPS.
Director Hunt stated open-space symbols were placed on the zoning map in 2007. In
2017, staff determined the cross hatching identifying properties as open space had no
basis and no authorization in the Estes Valley Development Code or any other adopted
zoning regulations. The zoning map has been updated to remove the open space
designation. Staff recommends the Town Board and County Commissioners re-adopt
an official zoning map. The process would begin with the official zoning map adopted in
1999 and update the map with each rezoning adopted through 2018 by each entity to
accurately reflect a current official adopted zoning map. The Board stated consensus in
the re-adoption of the zoning map utilizing a third party to review the changes to add
credibility to the final map.
Director Hunt stated the Town owned Dry Gulch property was labeled open space and
some citizens were advised the property would be perpetual open space. The Town is
the owner and has the legal right and privilege to propose appropriate land use for the
8
Town Board Study Session – August 14, 2018 – Page 3
property. The specific uses of the property would be a policy decision of the Town
Board.
The Board discussed the need for a thorough study of all options for the Dry Gulch
property. It was further stated there was never a definition of open space in the Estes
Valley Development Code. The Board requested a broader discussion occur on the
open space designation placed on the zoning map.
TRUSTEE & ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS & QUESTIONS
Trustee Norris stated as leaders the Board has an obligation to address the mountain
coaster concerns, not in terms of the merit of the project, but to address concerns and
allow the Board a chance to address the concerns brought up by the community. He
stated he would make a motion during the Board meeting to place the item on the
August 28, 2018 meeting. Mayor Jirsa and Trustee Cenac disagreed with the need to
discuss the item further because the county project is the purview of the County
Commissioners and the Town would be setting a dangerous precedent in discussing the
county issue.
Mayor Jirsa requested usage numbers for the parking garage, a discussion on the
number of parking spaces reserved and why they are reserved, and how many parking
spaces are being taken up by events downtown. All items should be added to the
ongoing parking discussions.
FUTURE STUDY SESSION AGENDA ITEMS
The Board agreed to hold a discussion with the Town Prosecutor and to place the item
on the unscheduled list.
The Board requested a discussion of Visit Estes Park be scheduled to discuss a
decrease in the number of board members from seven to five members and the need to
discuss the future of the organization’s structure.
There being no further business, Mayor Jirsa adjourned the meeting at 6:45 p.m.

Planner Hathaway presented the proposal to amend the Estes Valley Development Code
(EVDC) to revise Table 4-1 to extend Special Review Use (S2) in residential zoning
districts to allow for review and approval procedures for Cultural Institutions. Also, to
amend Section 5.1 to include use standards for cultural institutions in residential zoning
districts, and to amend Section 13.2 to include a definition for “Museum”. The objective is
to provide for a Special Review Use (S2) for Cultural Institutions in residential zoning
districts subject to specific use standards. Public interest in this is medium. Staff
recommended approval of the language in Exhibit A and Exhibit B.
Staff and Commission Questions:
Foster questioned the reason for the definition of Museum, which is limited to arts and
sciences, and slightly narrower than the definition of Cultural Institutions. Hathaway
answered that the definition used narrows the use to the property involved. Hunt stated
that a broader list could encompass museum use. It was initially narrower because of the
use in residential districts. Theis asked about the term “site” in the definition, stating
concerns with moving a facility in a building to different site. Hathaway replied that it
could be changed in Section 5.1 to Site and/or Structure/Building, or by special review.
Foster raised further concerns with the definition of Museums/Cultural Institutions stating
Colorado Statute CRS23-15-103, which would make it more parallel.
Applicant Discussion:
Steve Lane, Basis Architecture, supported Foster and Theis proposal changes to the
Code Amendment with museum being a use in the definition and the addition of site and
or building.
It was moved and seconded (Theis/Schneider) to recommend approval of the Code
Amendment request of the EVPC to the Estes Park Town Board of Trustees and
Larimer County Board of County Commissioners, replacing the word site with site
and/or structure, and change the definition of museum to “A governmental/quasi
governmental or nonprofit institution displaying or preserving objects of interest in
one or more of the following areas: artistic, scientific, cultural, educational or
intellectual” finding that the amendments are in accord with the Comprehensive
Plan and with Section 3.3 of the EVDC. The motion passed 6-0.
6.Special Review Use, 415 W. Wonderview Avenue
Planner Hathaway discussed the proposal of a Special Review Use (S2) for a historic
house museum operation within the Town of Estes Park on a parcel zoned E-1 (Estate)
Residential. Nine recommended conditions were reviewed. Public interest has been of
medium concern. Staff recommended approval of this Special Review.
Applicant discussion:
Steve Lane, Basis Architecture, spoke on about property access, stating that the shuttle
system would be used for summer months and off peak would be private vehicles,
12

pointing out that single family homes could generate up to 38 trips per day, while the
museum would only have 10-12 trips per day. He also specified that the west side drive
would be the access for property, aligning with Far View Drive and the east drive access
would be removed. The northwest and south parcels will be put in conservation
easement, preventing any future development.
Randy Kampfe, Stanley Home Foundation board member, spoke on the history of the
Stanley Home Foundation, and read the mission statement. He then reviewed the
conditions set forth by the Community Development Department.

are being followed by way of the Code Compliance Officer, through Municipal Court. The
Planning Commission could also review in a Study Session, or a condition could be added
for a Planning Commission annual review from the start date of operation.
Steve Lane clarified that the fire department was not talked to again, that he made the
determination of fire truck requirements based on his knowledge of fire truck turning
radius. He then detailed a list of Condition updates requested by the applicant.
Commissioner Discussion:
Leavitt made a request of an annual review to make sure conditions are being met. Theis
clarified that the review would not open up new conditions.
Foster expressed support for project despite earlier thoughts against. White pointed out
that this particular use for the property, with the restrictions, is a good alternative to other

Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado. Meeting held Room 202/203 of Town Hall.
Commission: Chair Leavitt, Vice Chair White, Commissioners Schneider, Foster,
Murphree, Hull, Theis
Attending: Leavitt, Schneider, Foster, White, Theis, Murphree
Also Attending: Town Attorney White, Director Hunt, Senior Planner Woeber, Planner II
Hathaway, County Liaison Whitley, County Community Development
Director Ellis, Town Board Liaison Norris, Code Compliance Officer Hardin
and Recording Secretary Swanlund
Absent: Commissioner Hull
Chair Leavitt called the meeting to order at 11:30 a.m.
There were approximately 13 people in attendance. This study session was streamed and recorded
on the Town of Estes Park YouTube channel.
Introduction of new PC Member and staff
Frank Theis, who has a career in development, and has taught Community Planning.
Lesli Ellis, new Community Development Director of Larimer County
Cultural Institutions Code Amendment
Planner Hathaway summarized the Code Amendment allowing Cultural Institutions in Residential
Districts. Definition of Museums was reviewed. The code amendment is not specific to the Stanley
Home, and could be used in other situations around town. Discussion was had on historically
significant places being restricted to having a structure or not, with institution being the key word.
Commissioner White stated that the Estes Park Museum has no historic landmark inventory for Estes
Park, wondering who determines the “worthiness” of a historic property. Director Hunt informed that
governing bodies can make distinctions from a procedural aspect, architectural preservation classes
or university programs can help from a practical aspect. If more of these S2 reviews come up, an
inventory would be good to have. Foster asked if there is a definition for Cultural Institution, pointing
out that Colorado Revised Statutes thoroughly defines it, suggesting that definition be used in this
Code Amendment. Also discussed was the wording of “site” vs “site and/or building structure”.
Stanley Home S2-Special Review
Planner Hathaway reviewed the S2 review regarding the Stanley Home, highlighting the 9 conditions
recommended by staff.
Dry Gulch Workforce Housing Withdrawal
Director Hunt announced that the application was withdrawn without prejudice on July 12. This
means if it is refiled at a later date, the requirement of waiting a full year would be waived. Town
Board will be revisiting the application after a planned housing needs review. It was suggested that
the Planning Commission may want to participate in this study session. Attorney White made note
16
Planning Commission Study Session July 17, 2018 –Page 2
that this would be a limited review to see if the report was accurate, confirming the information in
study and, not a rewrite. Trustee Norris will take up with the Town Board.
Lunch break 11:55-12:15
Exparte communication clarification
Attorney White explained how ex parte communication works with respect to projects that are
appealed. Appeals can come back to the Planning Commission so do not talk about a project until
the appeal process has run its course. Furthermore, it is unwise to talk about a project in its early
stages before it becomes a formal application. Later, when the formal application reaches the
Planning Commission, your impartiality may be questioned.
Comprehensive Plan Resolution and Advisory Committee
Director Hunt reviewed the resolution to have the 3 bodies responsible for the Comprehensive Plan
revision (Town Board, Board of County Commissioners, Planning Commission) have the same
content, which is taken directly from state statute. The Planning Commission intends to confirm the
resolution and elect Commissioner Foster to serve on this board at today’s meeting. Hunt stated that
grant funding will want a formal submittal having real value, not just symbolic value. Funding is not
complete, but has been requested in the budget and the resolution will go to Larimer County on
Tuesday, July 23. The resolution for 2018 is $10,000. Meetings will be open to the public, with the 5
appointees participating. Town Board has appointed Director Hunt as the staff member and Trustee
Norris as the Town Board member, with Trustee Cenac as an alternate. Hunt noted that there will be
homework on this Board and the first assignment will be reading and reviewing other comp plans,
starting with Alachua, Florida, Park City Utah and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Trustee Norris
requested Trustee Cenac be copied on all emails. Ayres Associates will be available for consultation
and the Committee will be involved with the drafting of RFP/RFQ.
Community/Neighborhood Meetings Code Amendment Discussion
Director Hunt introduced the idea of a Code Amendment where early in the application process the
applicant would conduct a Community meeting, using the same address perimeter list used for
neighbor notifications. The earlier public has input, the better for all concerned. August is a feasible
timeline for this with a continuance to September for refinement. Michael Whitley explained that in
Larimer County, community meetings are subjective and up to the Planning Director, but if there are
more than a hand full of public comments, a meeting most likely becomes a requirement.
Vacation Home regulatory changes
Concerns/ideas about licenses transferring with property, bear resistant containers, dark sky
compliance, clustering, manager response time were issued raised. Commissioner White would like
this to be addressed further in a future Study Session (October).
Commissioner Comments/Questions
Ziggy’s coffee did not go through a development plan because of Table 3-3 in Code that states less
than 10 parking spaces and less than x amount of square feet goes straight to building permit stage.
Hunt noted that this is not necessarily good planning practice.
Hunt answered the question that yes, Dollar General will be required to replace their landscaping, and
that a letter will be sent to them. 17

PUBLIC COMMENT
Nick Smith reported that the Estes Arts District attended the Creative Industries Summit
in Greeley recently. Several organizations were in attendance including both State and
Town officials. Those in attendance toured downtown Greeley witnessing that some of
the art displays were also educational and/or function al. It was very impressive.
The Dick Orleans Friends of Folk Festival will take place Tuesday, June 26. The festival
was also held on a Tuesday in 2017 and positive feedback was received due to lesser
traffic.
GENERAL BUSINESS
It was moved and seconded (Lockwood/Johnston) to approve the April meeting minutes
and all were in favor.
VICE-CHAIR NOMINATIONS
19
Parks Advisory Board – May 17, 2018 – Page 2
A motion was made and seconded to nominate Member Wade Johnston as the PAB co-
chair and all were in favor.
MOUNTAIN HERITAGE FESTIVAL RECAP
Supervisor Berg reported that the event went very well. No post-meeting has yet been
held but there was a good turnout from schools and other local individuals. Further
discussions were also held regarding having the event on the following Saturday next
year. Elliott recommended not having Saturday be a full day. There was a lower turnout
last year on Saturday.
Chair Moore and Member Elliot both attended and helped man the PAB booth. Member
Papineau was in attendance and helped man both the PAB and ELSA booths. The
festival planning committee is pleased with results this year and are taking away some
lessons learned. It was suggested to plan more advertising next year. Supervisor Berg
stated that the Estes Park schools drive the marketing. If the Town Parks Division and
the PAB took a larger role, the turn-out may have better due to a larger target audience.
MWG may do landscaping education if the adult audience is large enough.
DUB CONTRACT UPDATES
All DUB contracts have been signed and approved by the Town Board. Positive
remarks were received from Trustee Walker. He stated that this is a very good program
and hopes it continues.
The contractor sealcoating the 2017 utility boxes and priming the 2018 utility boxes is
waiting for opportune weather prior to commencing work. If there is too much delay, due
to workload, it may be necessary to look elsewhere for timing purposes.
MRS WALSH’S GARDEN (MWG) UPDATE
A plant list is in development for the back wall of the garden. Currently looking at
summer educational programming. MWG will start adding their plantings to the existing
garden plans created with layers. Supervisor Berg walked MWG on Friday to work with
Joan to determine appropriate plantings for the area. The plants will be ordered and
directly billed to the Town. Berg is looking forward to getting to work more in the garden.
20
Parks Advisory Board – May 17, 2018 – Page 3
PARKS DIVISION UPDATE
The Fisherman’s Boot sculpture’s electricity is currently out and not operational. This
will need to be rewired and may be moved to a more suitable location. The repair has
been scheduled.
Chair Moore asked if crosswalk markings would be applied on Spruce Drive where the
Riverwalk crosses. There are no existing markings at that area. Director Muhonen will
check into getting that area marked.
Berg reported that Parks employee Matt O’Reilly was very successful adding 5 new
baseline controllers and two antennae were added for the needed communication. Matt
also became a certified backflow tester.
Parks crews have been raking perennial beds with mulch to be added next week. The
crew will be planting the perennials Tuesday at Veterans Monument Park in time for
Memorial Day. Trustee Liaison Martchink reminded the group there would be a
ceremony at Veterans Monument Park this coming Saturday. As a result, no work will
take place in that area until after the ceremony.
2019 STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVES
Chair Moore distributed a memo drafted to the Town Board supporting and encouraging
Greenhouse Expansion. The Parks Division greenhouse is 20 years old and undersized
for area growth and the current plant program. Moore wrote the letter emphasizing the
importance of a larger greenhouse. If something is not done soon, and the Downtown
Estes Loop commences, there will be added areas of planting and would totally outgrow
the current facility. Greenhouse protection is critical to avoid killing the plants. The PAB
agreed with the memo and encouraged Moore to submit to the Town Board.
Director Muhonen explained the process of moving this type of improvement through
the Town’s budget process. Along with all other Town departments, each project
proposal must be prioritized collectively. Trustee Martchink stated it would be beneficial
for this letter to go from the PAB to the Town Board and to Town Administrator Frank
Lancaster prior to September.
Chair Moore asked about potential grant funding. Grant funding would have a huge
impact within the General Fund competitions. Unfortunately, the Town does not have
grant writer on staff to pursue this option.
21
Parks Advisory Board – May 17, 2018 – Page 4
Director Muhonen suggested the PAB research potential grant opportunities like those
awarded from the Home & Garden Show, Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO). Member
Elliot will research grants offered by Colorado Parks & Wildlife (CPW).
A motion was made and seconded (Johnston/Lockwood) to have this memo put in
formal format and added to the September agenda and brought back for approval to
formally submit to the Town Board. All were in favor. It was suggested that all grant
options be exhausted and information provided in the final memo.
DOWNTOWN ESTES LOOP – LANDSCAPE UPDATE
Director Muhonen presented the updated landscape plans from CDOT. Two sets of
plans were provided. Both options have an ADA ramp with only one having the option of
stairs. The PAB discussed the preferred options and grading.
CDOT’s design consultant, AECOM, is requesting guidance on this aspect of the plans.
At the June PAB meeting, the consultant will bring the modified 70% design drawings.
After discussions surrounding snow plowing, erosion and pedestrians, the final
consensus was to select the option with the stairs (Option A). Muhonen suggesting
closing the stairs in the winter season and not plowing them. Member Lockwood feels
that no stairs are necessary if a serpentine sidewalk/ramp is available. Member Elliott
suggested the addition of aggressive landscaping or a type of railing to keep
pedestrians from walking out into the roundabout. Supervisor Berg will invite his staff to
the June meeting to hear the plans and provide collaborative feedback.
OTHER BUSINESS
Director Muhonen provided an update on the Moraine Avenue Bridge Replacement
project. In prior meetings the PAB requested the new hardscape mimic that in Bond
Park (stamp and stain). Muhonen presented the idea to the contractor and there would
be project delay in order to implement. Although the current plan for this area is not
consistent with other patterns in the immediate vicinity it will be aesthetically pleasing
and complimentary. Muhonen will revisit this with the consultant.
With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 9:48 a.m.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Nick Smith of the Estes Arts District was in attendance. Smith reported to the group that
the Friends of Folk Festival was a great success again this year. A significant grant was
received in the amount of $10K from the Laura Jane Musser Fund. This will be applied
to future events and tours. Smith also reminded the group that the Snowy Grass
Musical Festival will be held this weekend.
Town Board Liaison Martchink reported that Simply Christmas would like to have a new
mural painted on the side of their building. Due to it being private property there is no
requirement to submit an AIPP Application and go through the PAB approval process.
Conceptual drawing to Community Development for compliance.
GENERAL BUSINESS
There were not enough members in attendance to have a quorum so approval of
meeting minutes will move to the next regularly scheduled meeting.

Parks Advisory Board – July 19, 2018 – Page 2
DOWNTOWN ESTES LOOP 70% PLAN UPDATE
Corey Lang of AECOM presented the 70% landscape design plans to the PAB, with
incorporation of the comments previously provided. The new plans reflect
accommodation of the new shuttle stops and the redesigned bike path. Lang introduced
Bill and Steve, AECOM associates, who have been working with him on the project
design. Steve discussed the roundabout design as it relates to Riverside Park. The rose
bushes that were originally planned have been replaced with native plantings. All
plantings have been based on the approved Recommended Plant Listing and will be
placed in springtime. Supervisor Berg reminded AECOM about the fencing that would
be required around all new trees. Smaller plantings can be dealt with otherwise. Director
Muhonen confirmed with the group the type of fence to be installed stating that split rail
is best around the area, with elk fencing being placed inside the split rail fencing. The
elk fencing should be 5’ tall around tress.
James Herlyck of Central Federal Lands stated that the establishment of plantings by
the landscape contractor are covered for a period of time with trees usually being
covered longer than turf. If trees can make it through the winter season, that’s the
toughest part. It will provide a good idea on the success of the trees’ establishment.
Central Federal Lands is very conscientious about maintaining aesthetic consistency
throughout town and will not be adding pavers. Bond Park is the baseline being used for
materials and aesthetic. Supervisor Berg to visit with his staff to gather ideas on the
material used. Muhonen suggested to Nick Smith he notify sculpture artists there will be
two or three sculpture opportunities contained in the design.
Lang will coordinate with Berg regarding the specifications of the new metal benches
and tables being added. Within the plans, the utility boxes located in the Post Office lot
would be placed in a different location. The Town’s Light & Power Division is evaluating
where the boxes will be relocated. Need to use care when moving boxes due to the
recent artist painting applied.
At this point in the planning process, there will be a net loss of 11 parking spaces
throughout the area affected by the DE Loop.
24
Parks Advisory Board – July 19, 2018 – Page 3
DUB UPDATES
Deedee Hampton has completed nearly half of her painting in the Post Office lot.
Moving forward, the Town should potentially provide cones for those utility boxes near
the ROW.
MRS WALSH’S GARDEN (MWG) UPDATE
The Mrs. Walsh’s Garden Advisory Committee (MWGAC) continues to pose questions
regarding the installation of a crosswalk from the north side of Elkhorn to the garden.
Studies have not yet shown a necessity for a crosswalk to be added at this time.
Wayfinding, when implemented, will provide assistance to guests attempting to locate
the garden. Coordination with Community Development regarding the adopted
Downtown Plan’s wayfinding suggestions is needed.
A member of MWGAC built a cactus garden in MWG and it looks great. Name plates
have been placed in the garden for most of the plantings. The committee would like a
larger Mrs. Walsh’s Garden sign along with ‘Dusk to Dawn and ‘No Pets Allowed’ signs
for better visibility.
Another member of MWGAC is developing a map for MWG. The map will involve
associating numbers to the different areas of the garden and posting those numbers in
the appropriate areas for location ease.
Matt O’Reilly with the Parks Division is trying to find replacement valves for the irrigation
currently in place in the garden but the system is outdated which makes finding
replacement parts more difficult. The Town is planning future replacement with the new
baseline irrigation system.
MWGAC stated the wedding events haven’t caused any damage to the plantings.
PARKS DIVISION UPDATE
Supervisor Berg reported that Parks staff are finalizing the front landscape at the
parking structure while looking for hardscape opportunities. The flower pots for the
Moraine Avenue Bridge are nearly ready. Parks staff continues to perform needed
maintenance in town and the handling of noxious weeds is in full force.
With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 10:22 a.m.

PUBLIC COMMENT:
No public in attendance.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
A motion was made and seconded (Street/Crow) to approve the June meeting minutes
with a minor edit and all were in favor.
SHUTTLE UPDATE
The Town’s Transit Program Manager, Brian Wells provided shuttle updates to the TAB:
June passenger counts were 7,536 which is in line with last year’s counts
A grant application is being prepared for the FTA’s 5339b – capital funds grant.
Included was a request for 80/20 matching funds for another battery-electric trolley
(if the previous grant fails), an electric charging station (if the previous grant fails),
garage for storing/charging the current trolleys and a cutaway bus to replace a
leased vehicle. Results should be available early in 2019.
27
Transportation Advisory Board – July 19, 2018 – Page 2
Another grant application will be submitted later this summer for the replacement
funds grant, FTA 5339b, for either an electric cutaway shuttle or a hybrid, based
on research for the best solution.
The DoubleMap GPS tracking system is fully operational. Some work still needs
done to firm up connectivity.
E-BIKE POLICY REVIEW/RECOMMENDATION:
Member Hamrick researched e-bike policies/ordinances in other mountain communities.
She stated there are three classes of e-bikes and different communities allow different
classes on different trails. There was no “one size fits all” ordinance found in her research.
Hamrick found most information contained within newspaper articles reflecting that this
appeared to be a fairly new concept by most. Allowing some type of electronic pedal
assistance, especially with Estes Park topography, could potentially encourage
individuals to commute to work or downtown via bicycle.
Member Slack stated he doesn’t feel e-bikes should be allowed on the Lake Estes Trail
or along the Riverwalk. Slack further stated the trail along Highway 7 is too narrow to
allow e-bikes.
Tom Carosello, Executive Director of Estes Valley Recreation & Parks District (EVRPD)
stated he attended a meeting last week covering this topic. The EVRPD determined it
most appropriate to place the responsibility with the rider. They determined that e-bikes
should be allowed where bikes are currently allowed. Carosello feels that the Lake Estes
trail is a fine place for an e-bike. The actual e-bike speeds are not that different from
regular bikes. Member Wilcocks agreed with Carosello’s assessment. Co-Chair Street
stated there is a small minority of e-bike riders that exceed 20 mph.
Street feels both Class I and II should be allowed. It is important to maintain trail
connectivity so allowing e-bikes on one portion and not another is not desirable. It is
important to trust people to use good judgement. Should a speed limit be imposed, is it
enforceable? Estes Park Police Captain Eric Rose knows law enforcement individuals in
both Breckenridge and Steamboat Springs that state there are no bicycle speed limit
signs posted and therefore, no enforcement. Chair Morris suggested installing trail
etiquette signs at entries to trails to guide individuals to appropriate trail use behaviors.
Riders and pedestrians will often self-correct if they know what is expected of them when
sharing a multi-use trail.
28
Transportation Advisory Board – July 19, 2018 – Page 3
Chair Morris suggested widening the trail along Highway 7. Director Muhonen stated this
suggestion has been made for a future Capital Improvement Project. John Hannon with
RMNP stated the topic of e-bike usage in the Park has not been discussed.
Muhonen suggested that the TAB write a memo to Town staff containing their e-bike
recommendations. The TAB will determine their position on the topic come up with key
components the e-bike ordinance would contain. Member Hamrick suggested taking a
look at the Estes Valley Trails Master Plan prior to final determination on what
would/would not be allowed as some trails are restricted due to surface type (hard path
vs. soft path). A majority of the TAB feels both Class I & II should be allowed on all trails.
The EVRPD will most likely develop their own ordinance and it was suggested by Director
Muhonen to work on the ordinance collaboratively with other agencies, remembering the
TAB can only recommend activities for the Town’s trail system. Carosello stated that the
EVRPD does not allow “motorized” equipment on the trails unless necessary for mobility.
Co-Chair Street suggested further discussion on allowing Classes I and II while
prohibiting Class III. Member Hamrick stated that would complicate the rest of ordinance
due to differentiating between pedal–assist and a throttle. Hamrick and Member Black
feel it makes more sense to allow Class I only. Carosello reminded the group the difficulty
differentiating between the classes. There would be the ability, however to issue a citation
in the event of an incident should the disallowed e-bike classes be involved. A motion
was made and seconded (Wilcocks/Street) to allow Class I e-bikes only and all were in
favor.
Chair Morris would write a recommendation and send to Director Muhonen for review. It
will then be distributed to all members.
SHUTTLE FUNDING OPTIONS:
The Town Board has opted to postpone discussions of the establishment of a Rural
Transportation District. The Town Board is contemplating dropping shuttle stops outside
Town limits since those locations do not collect Town sales tax. Current funding for the
shuttle program sustains existing levels of service. Member Black stated that expanding
the Town’s shuttle services has been a perpetual problem.
Muhonen stated that with the adoption of the Downtown Parking Management Plan
(DPMP) there is a revenue stream and that by bringing parking and transit together in
one division it enables the revenues to be used for transit issues. If a revenue stream
doesn’t occur, it should continue to be put in front of the Town Board for consideration.
29
Transportation Advisory Board – July 19, 2018 – Page 4
Member Wilcocks stated that better definition of what the Shuttle Service’s mission is, is
critical to what is requested. Member Hamrick asked if there has been any thought if
serving the largest area possible is the best method since it has not been successful. If
year-round service is needed, is there a potential to shrink the core service area to allow
funding to spread throughout the year? Muhonen stated if this is a recommendation that
is made, there may be a potential for a service reallocation which would utilize the same
budget and change how it is spent on a tighter core.
John Hannon stated that the continual Town shuttle service time changes are killing the
perception of the shuttle system. Visitors are witnessing these changes and are often
disappointed to learn the service anticipated has been changed.
Member Black stated that a small amount of sales tax or additional property taxes are
needed and pointed out that this services is more helpful to visitors than residents.
Chair Morris would work to define mission statement and to the Town Board. Member
Wilcocks states that more discussion is needed to determine what is appropriate to
present to the Town Board. Member Black agreed and suggested this is something that
can be worked on over the several months. Muhonen stated that Town staff has a fair
amount of discretion and influence through Service Change Proposals used in the budget
process. This type of proposal can be used to reallocate the structure of the shuttle
program with the advice of a citizen advisory group. Should potentially extend this
conversation beyond the TAB and involve the community. Brian Wells would like direction
on whether the shuttle system should be geared more toward residents or visitors, stating
the visitors love it.
COMPLETE STREETS DRAFT POLICY:
Co-Chair Street shared with the group, a first draft of a Complete Streets policy. Street
used verbiage from policies implemented by Billings, MT but tailored it to Estes Park.
Street also utilized the recently adopted Downtown Plan (DP) findings for incorporation
into the policy. It is important, in this policy, to address the needs of all transportation
modes. Street established the policy to require an exception be granted in order to deviate
from the checklist.
Wilcocks would like to recommend underpasses be implemented wherever possible and
would send verbiage to this affect from the DP to Street. This policy would not be a
regulatory document, but a guiding document.
30
Transportation Advisory Board – July 19, 2018 – Page 5
OTHER BUSINESS
Chair Morris reported that Member Finley had conducted further research into the
potential university assistance with the Town’s wayfinding needs . The university is very
interested in assisting. The Town’s Community Development Department will continue
leading the effort in establishing wayfinding per the adopted DP and the Public Works
Department will implement.
With no other business to discuss, Chair Morris adjourned the meeting at 2:02 p.m.

PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER______________
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective:
Review and approve proposed text amendments to the Estes Valley Development Code
(EVDC) to provide for a Special Review Use (S2) for Cultural Institutions in residential
zoning districts subject to specific use standards.
Present Situation:
This text amendment is in response to a desired effort to help preserve historically
significant properties traditionally located in residential zoning districts.
Background:
In 2014, 415 West Wonderview Avenue, the original home of F.O. and Flora Stanley,
was relisted for sale. Currently, this home is not included on a historic register and not
under protection for preservation. If sold privately, the house could be renovated and
the property subdivided to allow new single-family construction along Wonderview
Avenue.
Recognizing the aforementioned possibility, The Historic Stanley Home Foundation, a
Colorado non-profit corporation, was formed in 2016 seeking to acquire the home for
preservation and operation as a museum for local history education. Funding such a
venture requires the ability to operate tours and other ancillary museum activities, such
as a gift shop. This use of a museum is currently prohibited in all residential zoning
districts. 47
The amendment application was accompanied by a request to approve a Special
Review for the Stanley Historic Home property itself. The Special Review will be
considered by the Estes Park Town Board of Trustees on August 28, 2018.
Additionally, Chris Pedersen, owner of Lord Dunraven’s Cottage located at 898 Fish
Creek Road, Estes Park, provided a statement on the importance for such owners to
have an avenue to save their property for the benefit of generations to come. Mr.
Pedersen’s support serves to demonstrate that the proposed amendment has general
applicability and would not be limited to a single property or application.
Proposal:
Amend EVDC Section §4.3 Table 4-1: Permitted Uses in Residential Zoning Districts as
stated in Exhibit A, attached.
Amend EVDC Sections §5.1: Specific Use Standards and Section §13.2: Use
Classifications/Specific Use Definitions and Examples, as stated in Exhibit B, attached.
This request would be to allow “Cultural Institutions” in residential zoning districts with
an (S2) Special Review Use procedure, subject to specific use standards outlined within
Section §5.1.V.
The Special Review Use provision would ensure the ability to conduct public outreach
and comment, place conditions on a proposed institution to ensure minimal impact to
surrounding homes, and while promoting conservation efforts for Estes Park’s most
historical sites.
This amendment will be applicable for other historically significant properties within the
Estes Valley.
Advantages:
•Provides Special Review Use consideration for cultural institution uses in
residential zoning districts, with the specific advantage of preserving historic
sites.
Disadvantages:
•Potential traffic impact depending on location and access to the site.
Action Recommended:
The Planning Commission reviewed this amendment on July 17, 2018, and
recommended unanimously (one member absent) that it be approved by Town Board
and the Board of County Commissioners.

To: Estes Park Town Trustees
From: John Phipps, Estes Park
At your August 28th meeting, it is my understanding that an amendment to the Estes Valley
Development Code regarding “cultural institutions” will be on your agenda.
For now, this will involve only “museums”, as defined in this amendment.
For the first time, a cultural institution (museum for now) will be allowed by special review in all
residential zones.
In my opinion, special review has become a method to allow about anything in whatever zone.
Our residential zones have already been diluted by vacation rentals, public recreation facilities,
emphasis by the administration on increased density & development and rezonings. And allowing
accessory dwellings in residential zones is coming up again within the next few months (de facto
rezoning), I understand.
The proposed amendment would allow a museum, in a residential zone, on a site or in a “structure” that
could be identified with a person who contributed to the development of Estes Park in one of eight
different ways, including whatever “institutional heritage” means. Or the site or structure might qualify
by its design, materials, detail or craftmanship.
This language is way too broad and vague.
The proposed amendment provides that a museum itself can be about objects of interest in one or more
of the areas of art, science, culture, education or intellect. The last two should be deleted as too broad
and difficult to define in this context.
And this should be added to the end of the museum definition: “, on real property that is connected to
the history that will be involved in the museum”. (And the amendment should also include that during
the special review it must be agreed which will be involved – art, science or culture.)
Thank you.

RE: S2 Special Review Use
(Mark all that apply)
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER______________
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective:
Review and take action on a Special Review Use (S2) application requesting approval
of a “Cultural Institution” use in the E-1 (Estate) residential zoning district.
Proposal:
This is a Special Review Use (S2) proposal for a historic house museum operation
within the Town of Estes Park on a parcel zoned E-1 (Estate) Residential.
This review procedure provides an opportunity to allow the requested use when
manageable impacts can be shown and by imposing mitigation measures, or conditions,
to address any potential concerns.
The Historic Stanley Home Foundation, a Colorado non-profit corporation, is seeking to
acquire F.O. Stanley’s original home at 415 West Wonderview Avenue for preservation
and operation as a historic house museum for local history education with guided tours
and a gift shop. Additionally, the applicant has provided narratives which may be found
in Attachments #2 and #3. The narratives describe the proposed use and applicable
operation specifics.
The proposed Special Review Use may be subject to the following conditions as
recommended by staff and the Planning Commission:
1.The maximum group size for tours shall be 12 persons in any given group. No
more than one group tour shall be on the property at any time, except occasional
brief and incidental overlap at the beginning and end of a tour.
2.Operating hours shall be limited to 5.5 days per week with the exception of
operations on holidays that may fall on a Monday, e.g. Labor Day.
a. Monday – Closed (unless on a holiday)57
b. Tuesday-Saturday –9:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.
c.Sunday – 12:30 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.
3.Special events hosted by museum may not extend past 8:00 pm, shall be limited
to 50 people, shall not to be held outdoors, and a maximum of 2 special events
per month shall be enforced.
4.Use of the property for private facility events, including weddings, shall not be
permitted.
5.A conservation easement shall be placed on parcels numbered 3524300025,
within one year following the S2 date of approval by Town Board.
6.Additional landscaping shall add 1 tree for every 35 feet concentrated along the
adjacent eastern driveway, installed and maintained per EVDC Chapter 7-
Landscaping Requirements.
7.Original fencing shall receive routine maintenance.
8.On-site food preparation shall not be permitted.
9.The eastern driveway shall be removed and reclaimed and shall not be used for
property access. During time of re-seeding of pavement/road base, a blockade
shall be placed at the entrance from Wonderview Avenue to prevent access.
10. Shuttle service shall be required May 1 – October 31.
11. Onsite parking shall be limited to 8 parking spaces for ADA parking and
employee parking from May 1-October 31.
12. Dark Sky Compliant Lighting shall be required.
13. An annual report shall be given to the Planning Commission yearly on the
anniversary of the opening of the Museum.
Staff Findings of Fact:
Approval of a Special Review Use shall not constitute a change in the base zoning
district and shall be granted only for the specific use approved at the specific site.
Approval is subject to such modifications, conditions, and restrictions as may be
deemed appropriate by the Decision Making Body. (EVDC §3.5)
Per the EVDC, all applications for a Special Use Review shall demonstrate compliance
with all applicable criteria and standards set forth in Chapter 5, “Use Regulations”.
Should the Code Amendment proposed with this application be approved, this use
would be subject to the following standards:
•The site and/or structure is identified with a person or entity who significantly
contributed to the development, cultural, artistic, social, ethnic, economic,
political, technological or institutional heritage of Estes Park.
58
•The site and/or structure portrays one or more historic eras characterized by a
distinctive design style.
•The site and/or structure embodies elements of design, detail, materials, or
craftsmanship that represent a significant quality of design and/or development.
The conditions recommended by staff under “Proposal” may be amended to include
additional conditions as the Board deems appropriate.
It should be noted that special events hosted by the museum may occur outside of
operating hours.
Advantages:
•The proposed Special Use will allow for the preservation and the showcase of a
historically significant site in Estes Park.
Disadvantages:
•Potential traffic and neighborhood impact during peak season hours.
Action Recommended:
The Planning Commission reviewed this request on July 17, 2018, and recommended
unanimously (with one member absent and one member recused) that it be approved
by Town Board, as conditioned.
Finance/Resource Impact:
N/A

Historic Stanley Home
Statement of Intent
April 18, 2018
Revised June 4, 2018
Project Location
Rockside, the original home of F.O. and Flora Stanley is located at 415 West Wonderview Avenue in Estes
Park. The property, parcel number 3524300025, consists of three parcels defined by meets and bounds,
totaling 4.4 acres. The zoning is E‐1 Estate (1 acre minimum).
Owner
The current owners are Gary and Kelly Brown, of Estes Park. Lienholders include Pentagon Federal Credit
Union and US Bank, 1st and 2nd mortgage holders, respectively.
Project Description
The Historic Stanley Home Foundation, a Colorado non‐profit 501c3 corporation created in October of
2016, is seeking to acquire the home for preservation and operation as a Cultural Center for local history
education. This application requests an amendment to the EVDC to allow Cultural Institutions in
residential zoning districts by Special Review; then the Special Review itself.
Under the stewardship of the Historic Stanley Home Foundation, the property would be nominated for
inclusion on the State and/or Federal Register of Historic Places. Renovations would take place to
facilitate Preservation and Rehabilitation as a Cultural Institution. These latter would include life safety
and accessibility accommodations. All work would comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards
for Rehabilitation of Historic Structures.
The primary goal would be preservation as a ‘house museum’ to illustrate and communicate the history of
the early days of Estes Park. Guests and visitors will be limited in number and activity to respect the
historic value of the home. The primary use intended would be guided public tours. The maximum group
size for tours is anticipated at twelve persons. Small group usage may also be available for organizations,
however, weddings, wedding receptions and family reunions will NOT be allowed, nor will overnight stays
be permitted.
As noted, the property currently consists of three parcels. The first, on which the main house, a garage
and small carriage house sit, encompasses approximately 1.4 acres. The main house has approximately
4,000sf of space on two floors, plus 1,000sf of basement. The garage, approximately 675sf, would be used
for storage and possibly a small gift shop. The carriage house, also built in 1904, consists of approximately
1,350 square feet and is intended to be used for a caretaker’s quarters, in order to provide a monitoring
presence on the property since the main home would not be occupied as a residence. The two additional
parcels would be placed in a conservation easement. This is particularly important since current zoning
would allow for additional single‐family home development.
The existing garage would be converted into public restrooms and a small gift shop. The gift shop would
not serve any prepared food or drink – no food or drink will be allowed in the home. Limited packaged
snack items may be available for purchase (after tour is complete) – as noted below a bear‐proof trash
receptacle will be provided.
Site Access and Parking
Access to the property is from Wonderview Avenue. There currently exists two drive access points at the
far east and west borders of the property. The plan proposed would eliminate the eastern access, thereby
removing some impact to the adjacent properties to the east. The western access would be widened for
two‐way traffic per the EVDC standards. A small parking area (10 spaces) will be located below the home,
62
to the west of the carriage house, with pedestrian access via an original short staircase. A one‐way drive
above the parking will provide access to accessible parking and fire apparatus access.
Per EVDC Table 7.11.D, one space per 300 square feet, plus one per 90sf of assembly space, is required.
There is no assembly space in the project. There is approximately 3,000sf of usable space within the
home, which results in 10 spaces required, plus two for the carriage house. Per 7.11.N, one 12’x35’
loading space would be required – since there is no need for such a loading space to serve the operations
intended, a waiver from this requirement is requested.
The initial application anticipated the use of a shuttle service for gatherings. As further consideration for
the neighboring properties, the shuttle concept would be expanded to include transportation for all
tours/gatherings during the busy summer season. All guests not requiring ADA parking would access the
property via 15‐passenger shuttle, substantially reducing traffic on and to the site during these times. The
Stanley Home Foundation has reached an agreement in principle with a local shuttle provider for this
service.
Pedestrian Access
Internal pedestrian access from parking areas is provided.
Utilities, Drainage & Fire Protection
Utility service is provided via private service lines from existing utility mains adjacent to the project site.
Electrical and water service is provided by the Town of Estes Park; natural gas is provided by Excel Energy;
sanitary sewer services are provided by the Estes Park Sanitation. Drainage impact is expected to be
minimal – please see Waivers section below – as no substantial new paving is anticipated. During the pre‐
application conference it was noted that a drainage study would not be required.
Based on IBC code analysis, the occupant load of the building would be less than 50 and therefore would
be considered a ‘B’ occupancy. Based on this designation, an automatic fire suppression system would not
be required. As required by the IFC, a detailed fire protection plan would be prepared and submitted as a
component of the building permit application for change of use. Fire apparatus access is provided via the
one‐way road to the base of the building.
“No Smoking” signs will be posted on‐property in parking, driveway and walkway areas.
Lighting and Landscaping
No new lighting is anticipated, in part as nighttime use of the property is expected to be restricted.
Existing lighting is intended to remain, however any new/replaced exterior fixtures will be dark‐sky
compliant. Since no new fixtures are anticipated, during the pre‐application conference it was noted that
a photometric light study would not be required.
While a new 10 space parking area could require perimeter landscaping per EVDC 7.5.G.2, the proposed
parking is a significant distance from street edge or lot line. Additionally quite a few trees exist on the lot
currently, far more than would be required by the standard. Therefore it is requested that the existing
vegetation be considered as meeting this requirement, if applicable.
Special Review and EVDC Code Amendment
The use of the property would be classified as a Cultural Institution per EVDC 13.2.15. This use is currently
not permitted in Residential zones per Table 4‐1. This project proposes that Table 4‐1 be amended to
include Cultural Institutions as a use permitted by Special Review in all Residential Zoning districts.
This particular home is certainly not the only historic home in a residential neighborhood in the Estes
Valley, though it may be the first to be preserved and protected as a community resource in this fashion.
63
The Special Review process is designed to consider and mitigate, if necessary, any impacts of the use to
the property. The proposed amendment therefore provides a process within which other historic
resources in the valley might also be incorporated into the community, each to be reviewed on its own
individual merits.
The benefits to this amendment are numerous. Without such an amendment, it would be necessary to
‘spot zone’ such a property to a commercial zoning district, which could be seen as setting a precedent for
future zoning changes. Restriction of activities on such a rezoned property would require deed
restrictions, which can be cumbersome and often difficult to enforce. In the event the cultural use is no
longer viable, the property could simply revert back to its historic residential use.
Special Review Considerations
Use and Operation: described above.
Traffic Generation: In absence of this project, it would be possible for up to four single‐family homes
to exist on the property, which would generate 38 trips per day per the ITE Trip Generation Manual.
Per the same document, use as a museum would generate less than 50 trips per day. Therefore a
Traffic Impact Analysis is not required, and thus the expected traffic impact is minimal ‐ in fact not
significantly more impact than single family development. The use of a shuttle service for all tour
guests during peak season lowers the daily trips even further, such that the traffic generated would be
actually be less than that generated by the allowed single‐family use.
Zoning Compatibility: With the proposed amendment allowing the use in residential districts, the E‐1
Estate zoning remains in place. The property is surrounded by E‐1 zoning.
Parking and Site Access: As noted above, parking would be provided in a small area just below the
existing historic stone wall, in the middle of the property. Site access would be further limited to the
west side only. Parking and drives are requested to remain unpaved to retain historic character
(except in the case of the accessible parking space, which may require hard surface paving to meet
requirements).
Hours of Operation: Operation of the museum would vary seasonally, but is anticipated at seven
days/week in the busier/summer seasons (June – October). The first tour is anticipated to begin at
10am (guests arrive 9:45am) with the final tour beginning at 3pm, guests departing by 4:30pm.
During the off/shoulder seasons tour schedules and days of operation will very likely be reduced.
Small group usage would be limited to less than 50 persons (in keeping with building + fire code
provisions noted above) and would be limited in number (one or two/month). All guests (except for
ADA) would arrive and depart via shuttle. Small group gatherings may extend into the early evening,
but would conclude no later than 8pm.
Lighting & other Environmental Effects: As noted above, lighting impact would not be increased.
There would be no impact on quality of air or water. Since the primary use of the home would be for
tours, there would be minimal noise impact to neighboring property as operations would be held
inside the home and group size would be small. No motion‐sensor lighting will be permitted. Exterior
trash receptacles shall be bear‐proof.
Height, size and location of buildings and activities: The buildings are all existing – no expansions or
additional structures are being proposed. All activities would remain centralized around the existing
facilities.
Resources: As noted in this section of the EVDC, particular note is to be taken of historic and cultural
resources on the property. Obviously the preservation of these is the primary goal of the project!
64
Existing trees/vegetation, rock outcroppings, etc are also to be preserved and protected as much as
possible. Finally, by putting the currently vacant parcels into a conservations easement, that area is
protected from future impact.
Waivers Requested
1. EVDC 7.11.O – pave parking areas with (8) or more spaces with minimum of 2” asphalt.
Request to keep the historic compacted gravel surface.
2. EVDC 7.11.N, (1) 12’x35’ loading space – no loading spaces are anticipated
Neighborhood Outreach
The Board of the Stanley Home Foundation has attempted to be open with and receptive to neighboring
property owners from the beginning. A primary goal in preserving the home is to do so while being a good
neighbor. Information/outreach meetings were hosted by Board members in July 2017, October 2017, and
January 2018.
Many insights have been gained from this process. Changes to the physical and operational plans that
came either directly or as an evolution of thought as a result of these meetings include:
Disallowing wedding/family and other private gatherings not focused on the historical
nature of the property
Abandonment of the east side driveway
Placement of conservation easement on otherwise ‘developable’ property
Consideration of a small shuttle to reduce traffic
65
The Historic Stanley Home Foundation
Supplemental Information
July 6, 2018
This document supplements the Statement of Intent of the Foundation, which was submitted to
Community Development with our application on April 18, 2018 with further revision on June 4, 2018.
Hours of Operation
The original Statement of Intent and revision stated that operation of the Stanley Home museum would
vary seasonally, but be at seven days a week in the busier/summer seasons.
This schedule was discussed at a meeting initiated by a neighbor group with the Foundation Board on
June 21st, with the neighbors asking to reduce the seven-day plan. Since that meeting the Foundation
Board has determined that a 5.5 day schedule will support the needs of the Foundation operation, while
offering a favorable solution to this neighbor group.
The Stanley Home Museum will be closed on non-holiday Mondays and on Sundays will operate only in
the afternoons. The Foundation Board is pleased that upon further review of our future schedule, that a
shorter schedule will benefit all of the involved parties.
Models for Operation of The Stanley Home Museum
The Historic Stanley Home Foundation wants our community to feature a historic house museum that
compares well with other prominent houses. To learn as much as possible about how other house
museums have succeeded, the Foundation Board chose two locations to use as models.
We visited the Molly Brown House Museum in Denver in October, 2017 and the Historic Ivinson
Mansion in Laramie in February, 2018 to meet the Executive Directors and to see the homes.
The Ivinson Mansion conducts a 5.5 day schedule in the busy season. The Molly Brown House conducts a
6.5 day schedule. We choose to follow the Ivinson model for Stanley Home operations.
The Estes Park Museum and Hydroplant Museum
Any suggestion that the Stanley Home operation should be compared to either of these valued local
museums is simply not correct. Both of these are owned by our town and are fully tax-supported. Once
again, The Stanley Home must strictly be compared to house museums like Molly Brown and Ivinson to
be at all relevant comparisons.
Ongoing Meetings with Neighboring Property Owners
66
The Stanley Home Foundation Board first initiated meetings with neighbors in July, 2017. After that
initial meeting, additional group meetings sought by the Board, were held in October, 2017 and January,
2018. More recently, a group of neighbors invited Board members to a meeting in June, 2018.
There have also been many one on one meetings with a number of individual homeowners.
These meetings have allowed the Foundation to understand the thoughts of the neighbors and for the
neighbors to have the correct understanding of our plans. The meetings have been valuable to enable
the Foundation to gradually incorporate solutions to many neighbor comments into our Statement of
Intent and into the final details of our operations plan.
The Stanley Home and The Stanley Hotel
Some comparisons were made in public testimony at the June 19th Planning Commission meeting of the
operation of the hotel and the Stanley Home. Any implication that the Stanley Home will draw similar
tour guest numbers as the hotel are simply incorrect. The Stanley Home is a non-profit, charitable
organization that focuses on the preservation of the home and is a very low-touch operating model.
The Historic Stanley Home Foundation is an autonomous operation with absolutely no connection with
any other organization and therefore conducts itself without any outside influence or authority.
East Side Driveway
The development plan calls for the east drive to be removed and reclaimed. This will result in removing
any pavement/road base and re-seeding to a natural state. A temporary barrier can be put into place
while the re-seeding takes hold, with possible removal of the barrier in the future.
Small Parking Area
The Statement of Intent called for ten spaces. Due to the subsequent commitment to a shuttle service,
that need can be reduced to eight spaces.
Foundation Ownership and Conservation Easement
Some attempts have been made to deny significant threats to the preservation of the home. The
Foundation strongly asserts that as the home transfers to a new owner, the risk of altering historic
features and the possible removal of the home in favor of a new one is entirely possible with many
precedents across our country that resulted in the loss of a treasured property.
Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the 4.4 acre site will not include several more structures under
current zoning. A grassroots citizens organization owning the home to preserve it and placement of a
perpetual conservation easement on the site will eliminate this entirely legitimate risk.

TO: Estes Park Board of Trustees
FROM: Ross & Sue Maxwell, 503 Big Horn Dr
RE: Stanley Home Special Review Application
DATE: August 13, 2018
When the Historic Stanley Home Foundation first revealed their plans to turn the
Stanley home into a museum in the middle of an E1 residential district, we were
unwilling to entertain even the thought of it. Now, after months of working with the
HSHF and the Planning Commission, we have resigned ourselves to settling for
conditions and restrictions you will vote on at the August 28 Town Board of
Trustees meeting. We believe the Planning Commission has taken steps to
somewhat protect our neighborhood. No one knows what the future will bring as
far as soft commercial expansion along Wonderview Avenue, which was one of our
major concerns from the beginning.
There remains one important issue that we have repeatedly requested be
addressed and are unsure if it has been included in the list of Planning Commission
conditions:
All new driveway, parking, and existing driveway removal/landscaping shall be
completed BEFORE nomination of the property to be included on the State
and/or Federal Register of Historic Places. To this we would add that all new
landscaping be irrigated as is traditionally required (this has been confirmed to
us by Randy Hunt).
Finally, the HSHF board members that met with the neighbors are clear that their
primary desire is to retain and preserve the character and history of the home.
Despite those assurances, and with no disrespect to the current HSHF board, we
have concerns that as the board members or financial requirements of the
organization change over time, additional usage (e.g., more civic meetings per
month, more tours, longer hours, etc.) or partnerships (e.g., partnering with the
Stanley Hotel, etc.) could expand beyond the current board’s clear vision of home
preservation. It is our position that appropriate and precise usage restrictions,
including those spelled out at the Planning Commission Special Review Hearing, in
addition to what we have reasonably requested above, can work to afford that
protection for our neighborhood, as well as any residential district in Estes Park that
could be considered for the location of a cultural institution.
73
August 21, 2018
To: Estes Park Town Trustees
From: John Phipps, Estes Park
At your August 28th meeting, it is my understanding that an amendment to the Estes Valley
Development Code regarding “cultural institutions” will be on your agenda.
For now, this will involve only “museums”, as defined in this amendment.
For the first time, a cultural institution (museum for now) will be allowed by special review in all
residential zones.
In my opinion, special review has become a method to allow about anything in whatever zone.
Our residential zones have already been diluted by vacation rentals, public recreation facilities,
emphasis by the administration on increased density & development and rezonings. And allowing
accessory dwellings in residential zones is coming up again within the next few months (de facto
rezoning), I understand.
The proposed amendment would allow a museum, in a residential zone, on a site or in a “structure” that
could be identified with a person who contributed to the development of Estes Park in one of eight
different ways, including whatever “institutional heritage” means. Or the site or structure might qualify
by its design, materials, detail or craftmanship.
This language is way too broad and vague.
The proposed amendment provides that a museum itself can be about objects of interest in one or more
of the areas of art, science, culture, education or intellect. The last two should be deleted as too broad
and difficult to define in this context.
And this should be added to the end of the museum definition: “, on real property that is connected to
the history that will be involved in the museum”. (And the amendment should also include that during
the special review it must be agreed which will be involved – art, science or culture.)
Thank you.

Mayor & Town Trustees,
I've been involved with the neighborhood surrounding the Stanley Home since this process began, and attended the
meetings with the Planning Commission and a meeting with some of the board members of the HSHF. Please consider
our voice as being in support of the letter sent from Ross & Sue Maxwell on Monday, August 13. In the letter, support
for the recommended conditions set forth by the Planning Commission, as well as adding a condition that all changes
made would be done BEFORE application to admit the property to the National Historic Register (NHR), were both
requested. Both are reasonable recommendations, and would go far to ensure this home is transformed as intended.
The concern about the timing of application to the NHR comes from the awareness that once a property is on the NHR,
the NHR must approve any and all changes, and would likely deny non-historic alterations. This would put any agreed
upon physical property alterations in jeopardy, with the HSHF stuck between the authority of the Town Board and the
National Historic Register. Mixed / Expanded use in residential zoning is always a hot button for the town (vacation
rentals, museum use, etc), please dedicate the commensurate diligence and forethought to this groundbreaking
development.
Thank you,
Pete & Dana Maxwell

Dear Mayor and Trustees,
We are writing to request that you approve the proposed Code Amendment allowing House Museums in Residential
Areas and also approve the Historic Stanley Home Foundation’s Special Review request allowing the historic Stanley
Home to be used as a house museum for cultural and educational tour activities. F. O. Stanley and his wife Flora did
much for the early development of Estes Park and preserving their home is a worthwhile endeavor for the community and
for Colorado.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Randall and Patricia Kampfe

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Jirsa
Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Lancaster
From: Linda Hardin, Code Compliance Officer
Date: August 28, 2018
RE: Variance to Sign Code, Ridgeline Hotel, 101 S. St. Vrain Ave., DNC Parks,
Inc./Owner
(Mark all that apply)
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER______________
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective: Approve or deny the installation of a second freestanding sign on the east
frontage of the lot.
Present Situation:
The Estes Park Municipal Code, title 17.66 – Signs, regulates the number of
freestanding signs allowed on a property. One freestanding sign is allowed per
property. If a property has more than one frontage, a second freestanding sign, not to
exceed 45 sq. ft., is allowed on the second frontage.
The Ridgeline Hotel placed a freestanding sign close to the building entrance when the
new owners completed a major renovation of the hotel and restaurant. It has become
apparent that not all vehicles accessing the property can see this sign in its current
location. Therefore, DNC Parks and Resorts is requesting that a variance be granted
allowing a second freestanding sign, farther north on S. St. Vrain Ave. in approximately
the same location as the previous owners’ sign that was removed. This will provide
better visibility to traffic looking for the hotel entrance.
DNC Parks and Resorts has agreed to relinquish their right to a second freestanding
sign on the west side (Stanley Avenue) of the property. By right, they could place a sign
on that entrance, but realistically it would serve no purpose as guests and delivery
vehicles do not access the property from that side.
The new Sign Code specifies that Sign Code variances are determined by the Town
Board of Trustees. Neither the Planning Commission nor the Board of Adjustment would
have a review role in this type of variance.
78
Proposal:
To allow a second freestanding sign, 34 sq. ft. in size, to be placed on the east side of
the property adjacent to the entrance and north of the current freestanding sign. The
sign will meet all other requirements as outlined in the Estes Park Municipal Code.
Advantages:
•This sign will provide better property recognition to vehicles.
•The sign poses no threat to the health or wellbeing to the public.
Disadvantages:
•Although unlikely, other businesses in town may apply for a second freestanding
sign, and additional variance requests may occur.
Action Recommended:
Staff: Approve the application for this variance to the sign code.
Budget:
There are no budget implications.
Level of Public Interest:
Low: The Town has not received any comments in regard to this application.
Sample Motion:
APPROVAL
I move that the Town Board of Trustees approve the application of DNC Parks and
Resorts for a variance to the sign code, allowing the installation of a second
freestanding sign, finding that it meets all other requirements of the Estes Park
Municipal Code, and including the following condition:
1.No freestanding sign for the subject property shall be allowed on or adjacent to
the Stanley Avenue frontage.
Attachments:
1.Sign Permit Application (applicant), dated 07-16-2018.
2.Statement of Intent (applicant), dated 07-16-2018.

FINANCE DEPT Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Jirsa
Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Lancaster
From: Duane Hudson, Finance Director
Date: 8/28/18
RE: Resolution # 18-18, Supplemental Budget Appropriations
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCE LAND USE
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT RESOLUTION OTHER______________
QUASI-JUDICIAL YES NO
Objective:
To obtain approval of Resolution # 18-18 to appropriate funding to authorize
expenditures of Police Dept. forfeiture funds and additional grant funds for the Moraine
Ave Bridge project.
Present Situation:
General Fund:
The Police Department received $7,085 from Federal drug case seizure/forfeitures and
would like to use some of these funds for armor purchases, tip line rewards and other
qualifying purchases. The funding was received and deposited into the Town’s account
and the Department needs them appropriated so the funds can be used.
The Moraine Ave Bridge project was funded by a combination of Federal, State and
Town funds. An amendment was approved for one of the State grants increasing the
funding for this project by $17,627. This grant increase needs to be appropriated for
expenditure on the project.
Proposal:
To appropriate these additional revenues for the intended purposes.
Advantages:
The Town will benefit from these expenditures of additional restricted revenues.
Disadvantages:
There is little disadvantage of appropriating these funds for their respective restricted
purposes.
86
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends approval of the supplemental budget resolution.
Finance/Resource Impact:
The General Fund is currently projected to end 2018 with a 21% fund balance. Each
fund is expected to end 2018 with a positive fund balance as well.
Level of Public Interest
Limited.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Resolution #18-18 Supplemental Budget
Appropriations to the 2018 Budget.

Attachment A – Resolution #18-18 Supplemental Budget Appropriations to the 2018
Budget
