DISCUSSION / DIRECTION 9.1 2023 Community Plan Review — Chapter 2 • Action 2.1.1 • Action 2.1.2: 100 Block Design Standards and Guidelines have been codified and live online. When there are pre -application meetings, staff needs to direct prospective applicants to that information • Action 2.1.3: staff • Action 2.1.4: Ongoing • Action 2.1.5: Addressed in Chapter 16 within the use table for the 100 Block. We need a balance of retail and lodging. If lodging pushes out retail then none of it works. Possibly by lodging on the second floor and up, and still requiring retail on the first floor. Need definition for commercial services. Tom P. would not like to restrict someone from doing something with their lot. Sage P. thinks it's important to have retail possibilities and the first floor should be retail. Elliot H. thinks we should leave the code as is as it will be dealt with in due process. Lynn T. agrees with Sage P. Michael B. likes commercial uses on the first floor, but if they want lodging on the first floor it should be a conditional use. • Public Comment: Kelly Toon 531 Main St Repetition of storefronts and the commercial is very important. Asked if there could be a mandate that the front facade be commercial, but lodging in the back. • Action 2.2.1: Currently working on this with HPC • Action 2.2.2: No comment • Action 2.2.3: We could also use any study on historic preservation to inform the Design Standards such as key architectural elements and roof forms. • Action 2.2.4: Every project that comes in within the 100 Block will most likely need to address this. This could also come up if we address the non -conformities section. • Action 2.3.1: No comment • Action 2.3.2: This has to do with our sign code and any changes will need to come through as an ordinance to the Planning Commission for review • Action 2.3.3: Directory map Minturn Planning Commission March 22, 2023 •Page 3 of 4 • Action 2.4.1: to be addressed in the future • Action 2.4.2: Bike repair station could be behind buildings • Public Comment: Kelly Toon, 531 Main Street Bike Washing stations are about the size of the podium and only take up about 5 feet of space • Action 2.4.3: No comment. • Action 2.4.4: This needs to be a much bigger discussion. Will jam up the entrance to Minturn. If there are time limits then you need to be able to enforce it. • Action 2.4.5: No comment • Action 2.5.1: The code already allows this and prioritizes parking off of the street. Elliot H. said that garages are a good place for small retail or micro - manufacturing. Scot H. said that in mixed -use buildings there should be a requirement for storage. • Action 2.5.2: This ties into our housing plan. • Action 2.6.1: The Town has talked for a while about having passageways between buildings from Williams St all the way to the river. • Action 2.6.2: No comment. • Action 2.6.3: Lynn T. asked that a conversation be started with USFS to increase the parking at Grouse trailhead. Elliot H. pointed out that cycling from the 100 Block to the trailhead is dangerous and encouraging it might not be the best. • Public Comment: Kelly Toon, 531 Main Street It is way quicker to walk down County Rd rather than walking down Highway 24 and is safer. Also need to address skier visitors off the Minturn Mile as they don't know where to go. There needs to be better wayfinding signage. • Lynn T. asked that we have a coordinated sign program so that we don't have as much sign pollution. 10. STAFF REPORTS 11.
