PUBLIC COMMENTS.
Renee Moquin/Estes Valley Indivisible Immigration Committee Chair stated the group’s
concerns include environmental issues, human rights, immigration, the 2018 election,
education, health care, etc. The group has been encouraged by the position taken by the
Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police and Chief Kufeld that “Immigration Law is a
federal responsibility and that it is not our role to assist with deportation efforts.” The
immigrant community of Estes Park has been at risk since the election of President
Trump, and so to has the local economy which relies on this community as a labor force.
The growing population of immigrant school children also impacts the local school district.
This community assist the businesses by maintaining a viable economy and a holistic
community. He commented the Board and staff should continue to work with the
immigrant community to address issues and assure them they are welcome.
Those speaking in support of the comments from Mr. Moquin included Jose Girón, Mario
Rodríguez, María Jiménez and Jose Almeida. All thanked the Town for their support and
stand on immigration and deportation.
Linda Bensey/Town citizen and member of the local Patriots for Peace requested the
Town Board designate the Town as an International City of Peace during the Town’s
Centennial year and by September 1, 2017.
David Pearsons/Trail Gazette Reporter thanked the Board and staff for their assistance
throughout the years in completing the stories he wrote about the Estes Park community.
He informed the Board he would be retiring and introduced Zach Clements, his
replacement at the Trail Gazette.
TRUSTEE COMMENTS.
The Board thanked the Police personnel and the assisting agencies for their assistance
during the past weekend’s events, stating appreciation for their professionalism, bravery
and call above duty. The Board also thanked David Pearsons for his years of reporting
on Town issues in a professional and fair manner. DRAFT3
Board of Trustees – May 9, 2017 – Page 2
Trustee Norris stated the Estes Valley Planning Commission would continue discussions
on updates to the Comprehensive Plan and review building height proposed code
changes at their May 16, 2017 meeting. The Family Advisory Board held their first
meeting and discussed the Board’s purpose and the role of the Board versus staff and
the Town Board. The next meeting would be held on June 1, 2017.
Trustee Martchink corrected a statement made at the April 25, 2017 meeting clarifying
the monument discussed at the Parks Advisory Board was a Veteran monument rather
than a WWII monument. He reminded the public of the Mountain Music Festival to be
held May 13, 2017 at the Event Complex. The next Parks Advisory Board meeting would
be held on May 19, 2017.
TOWN ADMINISTRATOR REPORT.
Administrator Lancaster thanked the Police personnel for their efforts in addressing three
suicides this past weekend. He also thanked the numerous other local agencies for their

2. REPORT AND DISCUSSION ITEMS (Outside Entities):
1. DISCUSSION ON HOME RULE. Sam Mamet/Colorado Municipal League
Executive Director presented a presentation on Municipal Home Rule in
Colorado. Home Rule provides the citizens with more control on local matters,
and allows municipalities to legislate on any and all matters of local concern.
Conversely restrictive charters may limit the potential flexibility of Home Rule,
and charter amendments can only be changed or repealed by a vote of the
people, not the governing body. A charter sets forth the basic: (1) structure and
organization of government; (2) procedures to be followed by municipal
government in the conduct of its business; and (3) powers of municipal officials
and agencies, including any limitations.
2. ESTES VALLEY PARTNERS FOR COMMERCE QUARTERLY REPORT.
Diane Muno/EVPC provided an update on the activities of the organization,
including work on board governance, establishing a membership with Board
Source to provide guidance on board governance, provided financial support for
the Childcare Needs Assessment, supporting the upcoming workforce housing

Board of Trustees – May 9, 2017 – Page 3
3. ACTION ITEMS:
1. ORDINANCE #13-17 EXTENDING INTERIM FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS.
Director Hunt stated Ordinance 23-16 was adopted on November 8, 2016 to
continue the interim measure to establish the high-water mark of the 2013 flood
as a regulatory floodplain pending revision to the Flood Insurance Rate maps.
The Ordinance would expire on May 31, 2017. The proposed Ordinance would
allow permanent construction in drainages within Town limits and provides
criteria for reviewing floodplain development permit applications for structures on
properties located adjacent to drainages. If passed, the Ordinance would take
effect immediately upon adoption by the Town Board and continue until amended
or terminated by further action of the Board.
Bill Van Horn/County citizen stated the data used for the hydrology study was
not accurate. He encouraged the Board to consider a review of the Fall River
floodplain map once it has been produced, and to recognize there are still issues
with the hydrology study.
Mayor Jirsa and Trustee Walker commented the hydrology study should produce
peak flows that are closer than plus or minus 20%. Mayor Jirsa stated physical
and photographic evidence should be used to provide a more accurate flow rate.
It was moved and seconded (Norris/Holcomb) to approve Ordinance #13-17,
and it passed with Mayor Jirsa and Trustee Walker voting “No”.
2. ORDINANCE #12-17 AMENDMENTS TO THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL
RESIDENTIAL CODE LOCAL AMENDMENTS RELATING TO DWELLINGS,
VACATION HOMES AND SMALL HOTELS. Mayor Jirsa opened the public
hearing. Chief Building Official (CBO) Birchfield reviewed the proposed
amendments to address public concerns and Board concerns relating to vacation
homes. The proposed amendments include: 1) vacation homes shall be
regulated by the International Residential Code (IRC) for one and two-family
dwellings that exist prior to the effective date; 2) large vacation homes shall be
regulated by the IRC for one and two-family dwellings for homes that applied for
a registration prior to April 1, 2017. The occupant load for large vacation homes
shall be determined based on the number of bedrooms approved with the 2017
application; 3) vacation homes constructed under permits applied for on or after
the effective date of this provision shall be permitted and regulated under the IRC
for one and two-family dwellings, where new large vacation homes are prohibited
by land use regulations; 4) vacation homes constructed under permits applied
for on or after the effective date of this provision shall be permitted and regulated
under the IRC for one and two-family dwellings, where new large vacation homes
are allowed, where the home has less than 1800 square feet of enclosed floor
area, excluding attached garages; and 5) vacation homes constructed permits
applied for on or after the effective date shall be permitted and regulated by the
IRC for one and two-family dwellings, where constructed under the development
plan approved prior to the effective date and no floor area or additional rooms
used for sleeping purposes are added beyond the approved plan. Stakeholders
have voiced concerns with sprinkler requirements, handicap accessibility, timing
of life safety survey, minimum design criteria, and the emergency escape and
rescue openings. Large vacation homes do not require them to be sprinkled and
would be grandfathered and regulated under the IRC and occupant load would
be limited by the design of the building.
Discussion followed on egress needs for sleeping rooms. CBO Birchfield
informed the Board that building code requirements for egress have not changed
since 1976; the Town could exempt all older buildings from the egress standard;
require buildings to meet the building codes for the year the structure was built;
and adopt a requirement that all vacation homes built prior to 1964 meet the
egress requirement established in the 1964 building codes. The Board of
Appeals stated if a window has and opening of less than 4 feet the windows
would have to be replaced. Board discussion followed with Mayor Pro Tem DRAFT5
Board of Trustees – May 9, 2017 – Page 4
Koenig and Trustee Martchink stating the primary concern should be the safety
of those renting homes, therefore homes should meet the minimum requirement
for egress. Trustee Holcomb stated concern with safety and the need for
vacation homes to meet the minimum requirements regardless of the cost.
Trustee Norris and Walker commented on the cost associated with the upgrade
of a number of older structures in Estes Park. Trustee Norris questioned if more
time would be needed to review the egress issue to establish the impact to the
community.
Lindsay Lamson/EALA President stated consensus with the need to bring
unpermitted uses and work into compliance. EALA’s concerns with the proposed
amendments were related to the cost associated with meeting emergency
escape and rescue opening. Homes should be required to meet the codes in
place when the home was built and should not be required to upgrade to the new
building codes. He stated a double standard would be established if the Town
requires vacation homes to meet new standards and not require long term or
homeowner occupied housing units to upgrade.
Others speaking against the proposed egress standards included Greg
Rosener/Town citizen, Sandy Paul/Wedding Association, Frank Theis/Town
citizen, Richard James/Town citizen, Heidi Riedesel/County citizen, and Mary
Murphy/County citizen. Comments included the double standard the egress
requirements would create for vacation homes; the date the home was built
should be used to establish egress requirements; questioned the 200 sq. ft.
occupancy load as an average 3-bedroom home is 2,000 sq. ft.; and requested
more time to discuss and evaluate the egress issue.
Additional Board comments were heard and summarized: the process has been
full of compromise; the Town would be setting a standard for vacation homes
because these homes are operating as businesses in residential zoning districts;
support for vacation homes to be compliant with codes, including egress in effect
when built; vacation homeowners are responsible for the public utilizing their
home; and safety should not be compromised.
After further discussion, it was moved and seconded (Walker/Norris) to
continue Ordinance #12-17 to direct staff to return with language to
address egress compliance for the year the structure was built not using
the code prior to 1964 for life safety survey R327.2.6 Emergency Escape
and Rescue Openings at a future meeting, and it passed unanimously.
3. REQUEST TO INITIATE ACTION ON MASTER LIST OF PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS TO THE ESTES VALLEY DEVELOPMENT CODE. Director
Hunt stated the Estes Valley Development Code contains contradictory language
and needs to be updated. Staff has prepared a list of amendments and
requested the Board’s concurrence with the overall goal to extensively revise the
EVDC; general concurrence with the outline list of proposed changes; and
direction to staff and the Estes Valley Planning Commission to prioritize,
elaborate on, and allocate appropriate and available resources to the tasks in the
outlined list. Staff expects the listed amendments to stretch well beyond
December 31, 2017. The task list would be updated annually, or as events
warrant. After further discussion, it was moved and seconded (Walker/Koenig)
to approve the request to initiate action on the Master List of Proposed
Amendments to the Estes Valley Development Code, and it passed
unanimously.
It was moved and seconded (Nelson/Holcomb) to continue the meeting until the
agenda has been completed, and it passed unanimously. Mayor Jirsa called a 10-
minute break at 9:44 p.m. and reconvened the meeting 9:55 p.m.
1. BYLAWS FOR THE FAMILY ADVISORY BOARD. Assistant Town
Administrator Machalek presented the proposed bylaws for the newly formed
Family Advisory Board. The Board held its first meeting on May 3, 2017 and DRAFT6
Board of Trustees – May 9, 2017 – Page 5
reviewed the proposed bylaws and recommended the bylaws to the Town Board.
Mayor Pro Tem Koenig stated V.C.7 should be amended to exclude the need for
the Chairperson to relinquish the chair if they wish to speak for or against an item
and IX.C should be amended to read “…personal or private financial interest…”.
It was moved and seconded (Norris/Martchink) to approve the bylaws for the
Family Advisory Board with the recommended changes, and it passed
unanimously.
Whereupon Mayor Jirsa adjourned the meeting at 10:24 p.m.

KEY OUTCOME DISCUSSION - INFRASTRUCTURE.
Town Administrator Lancaster reviewed the Infrastructure key outcome area, stating the
parking structure would be completed and removed as an objective for 2017allowing the
Board to pursue funding for additional parking and an overall parking strategy plan.
Director Muhonen added the Transportation Advisory Board would discuss the paid
parking program and would propose ten public discussion settings to engage
community conversation and input. Staff would prepare a plan by the end of 2017.
Additional items discussed included: implementation of the storm water master plan and
formation of storm water utility; facilities needs assessment for equipment and other
storage; the Board moved the museum collections storage to a separate objective from
facilities storage; and replacement of the mobile stage. Administrator Lancaster stated
the addition of 1 FTE for Facilities and sound dampening in the Events Center can be
proposed during 2018 budget discussions. Staff would review the master plan for the
Events Complex for storage areas, updating stalls and best utilization of the property for
future development.
KEY OUTCOME DISCUSSION – TRANSPORTATION. Town Administrator Lancaster
stated the Transportation key outcome area continues to entail managing traffic
congestion and street rehabilitation efforts. Staff met with the Estes Valley Recreation
and Parks District and established a list of priorities and trail updates. Discussion
regarding bicycle trails followed and has been summarized: multipurpose trails may be
more beneficial than a bike lane; partial systems and gaps the in system cause hazards
for users when forced to use any means necessary for bike travel; and funding available
for areas within walking distance to schools, Safe Routes to Schools grant funding.
Administrator Lancaster stated the Downtown Plan is a good place to address street
and pedestrian improvements. Staff would apply for funding to expand transit services
year round in June 2017. Staff continues to pursue a project for the installation of a turn
lane on US36 at Community Drive to alleviate congestion. The Board agreed to
coordinate transportation planning with the transportation and transit plans of RMNP, as
well as with neighboring cities.
FEASIBILITY STUDY OF TOWN OPERATION & MAINTENANCE OF SIGNS,
SIGNALS & PAVEMENT MARKINGS ON CDOT HIGHWAYS (US34, US36, CO7)
WITHIN ESTES PARK. Staff explored the feasibility of entering into a contract with
CDOT to maintain traffic control devices on state highways within Town limits and
8
Town Board Study Session – May 9, 2017 – Page 2
discovered signal software is antiquate. CDOT reviews their hardware by fatalities and
injury accidents, which does not affect Estes Park on a high scale. Staff added there are
costs incurred to take over duties and liability when there are street issues. Recruiting a
knowledgeable person for the project may be difficult. Consultant’s recommendation
would be to press CDOT to upgrade the hardware before the Town takes responsibility.
Board discussion followed and has been summarized: there is a potential benefit with
an increase in staff; does state statue require fatalities to be human; can the
responsibility be split between CDOT and staff; and shared responsibility can create
confusion amongst the public.
TRUSTEE & ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS & QUESTIONS.
Trustee Nelson recommended appointments and reports presented during Committee
meetings be placed on the committee agendas. Administrator Lancaster stated
Community Development/Community Services committee has discussed agenda
guidelines and Public safety, Utilities and Public Works would be discussed at the May
11, 2017 meeting.
FUTURE STUDY SESSION AGENDA ITEMS.
The Boys and Girls Club of Larimer County would provide a presentation on July 11,
2017 regarding Stanley Park.
Follow up on making Board e-mails available to the public would take place on
September 12, 2017.
The Fish Hatchery RFP would be discussed on May 23, 2017.
Housing Coordinator discussion would continue after the 2018 budget has been
discussed.
There being no further business, Mayor Jirsa adjourned the meeting at 6:08 p.m.

System: Director Bergsten stated staff requested amendments to the Municipal
Code delegating authority to staff to administratively modify existing rules and
standards. He added a review of the code revealed a need to clarify the

additional information on what smart meters are and how they operate.
Information sheets and a supplemental fact sheet would be available on the
Town’s website and in Town offices.
3. Superintendent Lockhart stated tree removal continues to be the number one
complaint from the public. Staff has produced a pamphlet to mail to areas
needing tree removal near power lines. The pamphlet would include a “golden
ticket” for landowners to purchase new trees to replace removed trees. Staff
would mail information out this summer.

SHUTTLE UPDATE, Sandy Osterman
For 2017, full shuttle service will run from June 24 through September 10. There will also
be fall shuttle service for special events. The Green Route, being introduced in 2017, will
provide pick-up from the Park-n-Ride at the Events Center and will drop off at Bond Park.
The operating shift for this route will be from noon to 5pm. All other routes will operate
from 9am to 8:59pm.
PROJECT UPDATES, Kevin Ash, Engineering Manager
Digital Message Signs (DMS): Adaptive Micro Systems, LLC has been selected as the
vendor to furnish the signs for this project. The selected signs have parking management
system capabilities. Both the signs and the associated software lend themselves to future
13
Transportation Advisory Board – April 19, 2017 – Page 2
expansion. Installation is anticipated to be complete by the end of June. The Town’s next
step is to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to select a vendor for the pole/mounting
bracket installation. The placement of the signs has been reviewed with the Town Board
and the project will be kept within the designated budget.
Moraine Bridge Replacement: The Town and Consultant are working through some
hydraulic issues via the completed Hydrology Study. Work is taking place with FEMA
regarding floodplain permits. Based on recent conversations, it appears this will be a
lengthy and difficult process. Per the established criteria, once water goes through a
structure the work performed cannot cause any rise in the water level. Manager Ash and
Consultant Todd are revisiting the plans and remapping to fall within this criteria. If the
plans/mapping cannot show that the new flows will maintain consistency with the current
level then it puts the project, along with all funding, in jeopardy.
2017 Street Improvement Program:
MacGregor Avenue Improvements: Mountain Constructors has been selected as
the contractor to perform the MacGregor Avenue Improvements. The bids came in
more than $250K over budget. The increased costs were associated with the strict
deadlines imposed and factored in overtime to complete on schedule. The
Engineering Division will be looking for funding and will present for approval at
Town Board.
Fall River Trail: The Town has submitted an application for a $2M GOCO grant. The State
of Colorado will determine, based on the application, whether to grant the entire amount
or a lesser amount. The Town, utilizing Larimer County Open Space funds, along with the
Estes Valley Recreation and Parks District, will match funds bringing the total funding to
$2.7M.
PROJECT UPDATES, Greg Muhonen, Director of Public Works
Traffic Control Devices Study Update - Clarification: Director Muhonen provided
clarification on the 2016 CDOT Income Estimate table contained within the draft Traffic
Control Devices Study. The rates are comparative to the location. Director Muhonen will
present this study to the Town Board at the May 9, 2017 meeting. The contracts for the
maintenance of CDOT signals, signs and markings are for a one year term only. These
14
Transportation Advisory Board – April 19, 2017 – Page 3
term limits allow flexibility in the event the contractual obligations are deemed a poor fit
for the Town.
Downtown Parking Strategy Plan: A Downtown Parking Management Plan Task Force has
been assembled. This task force will gather community feedback at various events and
through multiple outreach meetings and surveys. The TAB will lead the community
outreach efforts. Chair Campbell and Member Finley will begin the outreach at the Taste
of Estes event. There are plans to have a booth stationed at the Farmer’s Market every
week. Chair Campbell asked that each member of the TAB sign up for two different
outreach times.
Kimley Horn, parking consultant, will have a meeting on April 26 to instruct members on
how best to perform community outreach and educate the public. The benefits regarding
paid parking are to change behavior; generate funding for an earlier shuttle service;
reduce congestion and alleviate unnecessary carbon footprints.
Member Slack stated that he would prefer not to present preliminary ideas to the Rotaries.
Slack suggested that rather than presenting the plan, the Rotaries be directed to the
online survey for feedback. Chair Campbell will present the Rotaries with the location of
the survey and an explanation of the plan.
Transit Facility Parking Structure: Director Muhonen stated that the last girders are being
placed next week which is the last of the precast concrete.

representing all branches of the armed services. Stevanus has worked closely with
Parks Maintenance Supervisor, Brian Berg, to determine a suitable location for the
Monument Park. The selected location would be on the west side of the Visitor Center
in place of the existing picnic shelter. Co-chair Moore expressed concern that there
would no longer be overhead protection in that area once the picnic shelter is removed.
One option is to move the existing picnic shelter to the opposite side of the river;
however, the cost of the move must be taken into account by the Town.
In order to assist with the realization of the concept Thorp & Associates created the
design and Van Horn Engineering performed the surveying; both without charging any
fees.
Member Boles questioned the purpose of the selected location. Supervisor Berg worked
closely with the group to find a suitable and honorable place for this Monument Park
and this is what was selected. The hope is to have the park in place by Veterans Day.
One of the suggestions as part of the park design incorporates a bronze eagle at the
center of the park.
Member Papineau made a motion to approve the bronze eagle sculpture and Member
Lockwood seconded the motion. All members were in favor with the exception of

Member Boles. Member Rustin, who was attending via telephone, abstained from voting
due to lack of information available to him.
Member Papineau made a motion to approve the naming of the town property where
the park is to be located to ‘Veterans Monument Park’ and Member Lockwood
seconded the motion. All members were in favor with the exception of Member Boles.
Member Rustin abstained from voting due to lack of information available to him.
The Veterans Monument Committee would make a presentation to the Town Board for
the bronze eagle sculpture on May 23, 2017. This committee would present the park
concept to the PUP Committee on May 11, 2017.
DUB: ARTIST PROPOSALS
Member Boles shared that manufacturing has begun on the vinyl wrap for the utility box
located just north of the police station. Boles also shared that Kent Smith has provided a
quote for priming and graffiti sealing the utility boxes to be painted.
Member Boles has been in touch with Blake Babbit, a Scout that presented his AIPP
application to paint a utility box as a proposed Eagle Scout project in October, 2016.
Boles and Babbit will go on a site visit next week to select the utility box Babbit wishes
to paint. Babbit was asked to complete a new AIPP application to present to the PAB in
May.
Member Boles then displayed and discussed the art created by the chosen artists. The
art submitted by Michael Young, Ben Brown and Nicole Rische were all approved. It
was requested that the art provided by Dawn Normali be shown as it will appear on the
utility box, combining a few of the favorite individually painted pieces. The art will be
presented again to the PAB once it is combined.
PARKS DIVISION UPDATE
Public Works Director, Greg Muhonen, provided updates for the Parks Division.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Planning Commission
April 18, 2017
Board Room, Estes Park Town Hall
Planner Gonzales stated the revised plans were just recently received. Staff requests the review
be continued to the May 16, 2017 Planning Commission meeting to allow affected agencies time
to review the revisions.
It was moved and seconded (Schneider/Murphree) to continue the various applications to the
May Planning Commission meeting and the motion passed 7-0.
4. REPORTS
A. Planner Gonzales reported on the Mountain & Resort Town Planners Summit he attended
in March. Topics included affordable housing, transportation, economic development, etc.
Many other mountain communities have issues with affordable housing. In many
communities, parking is the largest detriment to developers when it comes to the
development of affordable housing. Other communities standards are below 100%
Average Median Income. Winter Park is purchasing downtown properties and providing
incentives to developers. Regarding height limits, Winter Park is 55 feet, Steamboat
Springs is 40 feet, Pagosa Springs and Telluride are 35 feet, Sun Valley, Idaho is 44 feet
without slope adjustment. Jackson Hole has a 55-foot height allowance in multi-family
districts. Regarding affordable housing, one community requires ADUs be built with large
single-family homes, and requires them to be occupied, which has been successful in
creating additional housing. Winter Park has plans to add approximately 700 units in their
downtown area, both attainable and market priced.
B. Director Hunt reported vacation home applications are still coming in, and we are still
under the cap of 588. There has been a lot of push back regarding compliance with the
dark-sky ordinance.
C. Director Hunt reported the accessory kitchen amendment will be heard by the County
Commissioners on April 24, 2017. The Town Board made revisions that leave accessory
kitchens in place, while removing requirements for the affidavit, interior access, and
addressing. The section on outdoor kitchens was supported.
D. Safeway has applied for a variance and a development plan. The development plan
submitted will be a staff-level decision (under 10,000 square feet).
E. Commissioner White reported on her tour of the National Park Village housing project.
F. Planner Gonzales reported a three-day work session on the Downtown Plan will occur April
25-27 at the Rodeway Inn. Most of the sessions are open to the public. Included will be
stakeholder interviews with downtown business owners, property owners, etc. to discuss
parking, transportation, urban design, and so forth. Commissioner Hull expressed
disappointment that a town department would have to pay for a town event at a town-
owned facility.
There being no further business, Chair Moon adjourned the meeting at 2:43 p.m.

Virginia Drive
______________________________________________________________________
Objective:
Approve a Withdrawal request for Preliminary Condo Map application for compliance with
the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) and Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan.

The property is approximately 0.76 acres in size and is zoned RM-Multifamily Residential.
The address is 242 Virginia Drive, located within the Town Limits. The project involves
three applications; a Development Plan, an Amended Plat, and a Preliminary Condo Map.

From: Will Birchfield, Chief Building Official
Date: May 23, 2017
RE: Ordinance 12-17 Amendments to the 2015 International Residential Code
relating to Dwellings, Vacation Homes, and Small Hotels
Objective: Continue the public hearing, from May 09, 2017, regarding amending the
2015 International Residential Code relating to dwellings, vacation homes and small
hotels.
Present Situation:
Since the last Town Board meeting, staff has continued to facilitate informed consent
among stake holders which have recently expressed concerns/opposition to the proposed
amendments. Staff reached out, offering individual dialogue with some of those
stakeholders. Revisions to the proposed amendments have been made, based on
feedback received during the discussions/collaboration.
Proposal:
The administration of the proposed amendments will create additional work for Building
Division staff. Staff will be requesting one full time temporary position, to assist with
records management.
Advantages:
The proposed amendments will:
Address some local concerns relating to vacation homes – The goal was not
consensus, but informed consent through collaboration.
Resolve some of the conflicts between the International Residential Code and the
International Building Code.
As much as possible, create consistency and fairness throughout the Estes Valley,
relating to building code regulations for vacation homes.
Disadvantages:
Increase in staff workloads; however, temporary staffing will be requested and
provisions are in place for contract plan review services and inspections, if needed.
Staff will need to prepare proposed amendments to the International Building
Code, the International Existing Building Code and the International Property
Maintenance Code. However, preparing those amendments will be much less 41
work, as they will be consistent with amendments to the International Residential
Code.
Action Recommended:
Continue the public hearing, from May 09, 2017, regarding amending the 2015
International Residential Code relating to dwellings, vacation homes and small hotels.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments specified in “Exhibit A.”
Budget:
Staff will be requesting one full time temporary contract staff person to assist with records
management.

PUBLIC WORKS Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Jirsa
Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Lancaster
From:Brian Berg, Parks Maintenance Supervisor
Greg Muhonen, Public Works Director
Date:May 23, 2017
RE:Veterans Monument Park Application
Objective:
The purpose of this project is to build a pocket-park that honors veterans from all
branches of the United States armed services.
Present Situation:
The Town currently has no veteran’s memorial. The location of the proposed park has
an existing picnic pavilion that needs a new roof.
Proposal:
The Estes Park Veterans Monument Committee is proposing to construct a Veterans
Monument Park on Town-owned property. The location is west of the Visitor Center
where the existing picnic pavilion is located. The pavilion will be removed and replaced
with two stone picnic tables, stone paths, bronze plaques, and an eagle sculpture as
shown in the attached concept design. The committee is proposing to raise all funds for
the material and installation of the park. They have asked for construction/maintenance
support from the Public Works Parks Division.
The committee also requests the new pocket-park be named “Veterans Monument
Park”. This piece of Town land is currently not named. This proposal was present to,
and approved by, the citizen Parks Advisory Board on April 21, 2017.
Advantages:
The monument will be a place for all branches of the armed services to be
recognized while providing beautiful views and riverside seating for years to
come.
The project will provide a second picnic table at this popular guest gathering
area.
Disadvantages:
Increased maintenance costs for the Town.
55
Loss of a covered picnic shelter along the north side of the Big Thompson River.
Action Recommended:
Staff, PAB and PUP recommend the Town Board accept ownership of the new
sculpture and the proposed pocket-park improvements; and, approve naming this area
“Veterans Monument Park”. If approved, the Veterans Monument Committee anticipates
the pocket-park to be complete by Veteran’s Day, 2017.
Budget:
The Parks Division will incur a nominal increase to their annual bronze cleaning budget
to care for the new eagle statue. This cost is estimated to be $150 annually and will be
taken from account #101-5200-452-26-36.
Level of Public Interest
A modest amount of public interest is expected.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of the construction of the pocket-park honoring Armed
Services veterans and the naming of said park “Veterans Monument Park”.

From:
Date:
Chief Wes Kufeld, Captain Eric Rose
May 23, 2017
RE: Ordinance 14-17 Amendment to Estes Park Municipal Code Title 7-
Animals
Objective:
Amend the current Municipal Code Title 7 – Animals
Present Situation:
During the enforcement period of 2016, sections of the Animal code pertaining to the
Wildlife Protection Ordinance, were identified as needing additional clarity for
enforcement purposes. Moreover, upon its original adoption in 2016, Town Board had
requested a review take place after a full season, in order to fine tune the ordinance and
make any needed changes. The Police Department Administrative staff, Municipal
Court Judge, Attorney Greg White and community members contributed to the
recommended amendments.
In conjunction with the effort of amending the Wildlife Protection Ordinance, a review of
the Animal Code (Title 7) in its entirety was performed to delete outdated, unclear and
no longer needed verbiage and sections.
Proposal:
To provide community members/visitors, as well as commercial establishments with
clarification of sections of the Animal Ordinance in its entirety as presented and
recommended.
Advantages:
A more precise definition of terminology utilized in all sections of the Ordinance.
Equine sections amended to address current animal regulation practices, last revision
was performed in 1962, 1972 and 1990.
Clarification of this ordinance will provide an improved level of guidance to people and
enhance protection of area Animals as a whole.
Disadvantages:
None
67
Action Recommended:
Consideration of Board approval of Ordinance No. 14-17 which amends Chapter 7 of
the Municipal Code.
Budget:
None
Level of Public Interest
This Ordinance is of high interest in our community for animal owners and wildlife
preservationists. It holds great importance to the local wildlife habitat, particularly for
area bears. Ordinance enforcement discussions included local business owners,
residents and members of the Bear Education Task Force. Outcomes of the discussions
lead to the proposed revisions within the ordinance. Additionally, allows for consistent
practices in enforcement of all animals within the town limits.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Ordinance No. 14-17.

Park Municipal Code
Objective:
Amend Chapters 9.08 and 9.12 of the Estes Park Municipal Code the same relating to
Public Peace, Order and Safety, and Vendors, Peddlers and Solicitors.
Present Situation:
In the last few years, the United States Supreme Court and District Court decisions
have addressed the ability of governmental entities, including the Town, to restrict the
ability of individuals to solicit donations. These decisions have limited the scope of the
Town’s ability to regulate solicitation and panhandling within the Town. In reviewing
these Court decisions, Town Staff and the Town Attorney also reviewed Chapter 9.08 of
the Estes Park Municipal Code relating to disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct,
obstructing of public streets, sidewalks, places and buildings in order to update the
Municipal Code regarding the regulation of conduct in these areas.
Proposal:
The adoption of the proposed changes to Chapters 9.08 and 9.12 of the Municipal Code
will update the Town’s regulations to current legal standards and provide for more
effective regulation of the prohibited conduct by the Estes Park Police Department and
Town Staff.
Advantages:
Updating these chapters of the Municipal Code to meet current legal standards and
clarifies for both the Town and individual citizens what conduct is prohibited in the
amended sections of the Municipal Code.
Disadvantages:
None.
Action Recommended:
Board approval of Ordinance No. 15-17 which amends Chapters 9.08 and 9.12 of the
Municipal Code.
75
Budget:
None
Level of Public Interest
There is little public interest in these sections of the Municipal Code.

ADMINISTRATION Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Jirsa
Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Lancaster
From: Travis Machalek, Assistant Town Administrator
Date: May 23, 2017
RE: Intent to Negotiate a Contract for the Sale of Parcel #25302-13-961
Objective:
To request authorization to negotiate for the sale of a Town-owned property.
Present Situation:
The Town currently owns parcel #25302-13-961. This property is a 0.05 acre (~2,000
square feet) lot that was originally part of the 179 Stanley Circle Drive property (current
Town-owned employee housing). At some point after 1938, the Federal Government
acquired a rectangular piece of property that divided this lot and resulted in the small
parcel #25302-13-961 (see attached map). The Town has no current use for this
property and does not foresee any future use.
Kingswood Homes has expressed interest in purchasing this parcel to aid in the
construction of a workforce housing project on an adjoining property.
The parcel has been valued at $1,000 based on sales of similarly sized and located
vacant land in the last 12 months.
Proposal:
Kingswood Homes has offered to purchase the parcel for $1,000. If the Town Board
votes to approve moving forward with negotiations, a real estate contract and ordinance
will be brought to Town Board for final approval.
Staff requests authorization to enter into contract negotiations for the sale of this
property to Kingswood Homes.
Advantages:
• Facilitates the development of a workforce housing project.
• Enables productive use of small parcel (parcel is ~2,000 square feet).
Disadvantages:
83
• Limiting the sale of this property to Kingswood Homes might be perceived as
bias. However, due to the size and location of the parcel, staff believes that the
parcel would be put to the highest and best use through sale to Kingswood.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends granting authorization to engage in negotiations..
Budget:
N/A
Level of Public Interest
Low.
Sample Motion:
I move to authorize/not authorize staff to negotiate the sale of parcel #25302-13-961 to
Kingswood Homes.
