Staff does not believe that this proposal warrants the public to encourage a new density for this lot as it has existed for 21 years without opposition. [+] FINDING: Public interest. [Section 5-230.D.7] The extent to which the area to which the 12 10-16-2000 amendment would apply HAS changed and continues to change is such that it is in the public interest to encourage a new density in the area. Ms. Skinner stated Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval with the same conditions. She reviewed the history of the file and the request to change the lot designation. She showed photographs of the building and the surrounding views. Daniel Gartner, Chamberline Architects, was present representing the applicant. He stated these changes are merely a bi-product of US West's ongoing switching upgrade. They were under the assumption they had the correct zoning but when that was not the case, they turned to Ms. Skinner. Kim Eichler, representing the owner ofthe adjacent parcel, stated the exception is part ofthe PUD and is privately owned. They are working to develop it as a multifamily use. He showed the 50 feet along the north boarder of the switching station. He stated in the report, towards the end, it addresses the access to the parcels. He stated the access along the river to the north side is their access. He read the verbiage of the plat. Chairman Stone asked who owns this property. Mr. Eichler stated Tom McInerney. He read from the plat note and the access being intended for public use. He stated it is not quite a street, but it is public. He stated they have concerns that US West may want to restrict the amount of access. He stated he wanted to preserve their record regarding that but there is potential ambiguity as to the number of cars that can travel that access. He asked the Board address that. Chairman Stone questioned if from a legal standpoint it is necessary for them to be adding a codicil or what the action would be. Ms. Black stated she would not think it necessary to add that. She stated they do have public way regulations and it will remain that way on the plat. She suggested they have noted at this meeting that there is a question about that. Commissioner Gallagher asked the applicant to address the issue Mr. Eichler spoke to. Mr. Gardner stated the easement is a 50 foot easement with a 25 foot road. He doesn't anticipate any objection from the applicant. Commissioner Gallagher asked about the LEA file. Ms. Skinner stated that was reviewed by the Planning Commission who approved it.

Ms. Skinner showed photographs of where the new building will be. Kurt Mill, Colorado State Parks, spoke to the expansion dedication with the Governor. He stated the site for the building was chosen because it is prior to the east/west branch of Brush Creek and would be significant for the public to access information or permits. They will be working very closely with the Forest Service on the displays and the information that will go into the visitor's center. He spoke to small pieces of property owned by the Forest Service. He stated he is available for questions. Chairman Stone asked for public comment. There was none. Mr. Mill stated one issue that has come up is the historical aspect. He stated they plan on rehabilitating the halfway house on site and tie it into the whole site. The other is the school house site and they hope to stabilize it as well. They will be working with the state and local historical societies. Chairman Stone asked about the increased traffic. He asked if that is taken into account and what is the applicant's responsibility. Ms. Skinner stated this application came in prior to park expansion. She suggested that this is not a destination point but a stopping place along the way. Mr. Mill stated they have heard concerns and questions as to how open it is to the public. He stated there will be no expansion to Sylvan Lake. On west Brush Creek there will be some additional parking areas added. When they are full that will be the capacity. The same is also true on east Brush Creek. He stated they are not really going to provide more parking and encouraging an overload. He stated there will be limited parking. Ms. Skinner stated they are not proposing any picnic areas or stopping areas at the center. Commissioner Phillips asked about the sanitation facilities. Mr. Mill stated it will be a leach field system. He stated they constructed the identical type system at Sylvan Lake and it appears to be adequate.

Ms. Skinner stated the 1041 was deemed not necessary because it is on a private well. Chairman Stone stated he thinks it is a good thing in general and supports it, but he thinks it is worth taking a step back and to hold themselves and each other accountable. He stated as you watch the 17 10-16-2000 Town of Eagle expand their boundaries you are putting more people in the nearby community and they will be utilizing the facilities. He spoke to that putting demand on the road. He asked what this will actually provide. Mr. Mill stated this will be an information gathering place and then people will head farther up the road. He spoke to concerns with roadside parking. Chairman Stone suggested that he believes it will exceed their expectations on use. He appreciates them talking to the Road and Bridge department. He spoke to all that can become unintended consequences.
