4. Public Hearing/Action Items
a. Subdivision Exemption —Amended Lot 32, EMF1
Commissioner Smith moved, and Commissioner Shapiro seconded the motion to open
the public hearing regarding Subdivision Exemption —Amended Lot 32, EMF1. Motion
carried: 6-0.
This application is being processed as a Subdivision Exemption in accordance with
Section 17-3-10 of the Fraser Municipal Code. The Code states that certain divisions of
property may be exempted from the requirements of this Chapter if the activity meets the
following condition(s): the division does not result in the creation of an additional lot
and/or the division is for the purpose of revising lot lines, only if it creates no more than
the prior recorded number of lots, and if such exemption is approved by the Board of
Trustees.
The applicant is Rainsford A. Brown III, represented by Kent Whitmer. Mr. Brown owns
Lot 32, EMF1 and has Lot 30, EMF1 under contract. There is currently an existing
single family dwelling on Lot 32. Mr. Brown is requesting approval of this subdivision
exemption plat in order to vacate the lot line and combine both lots into one new lot.
Please see Kent Whitmer's letter detailing this request.

We have received a letter from the Rendezvous Homeowners Association approving the
combining of the two lots with a couple of conditions. We are working on some
language to incorporate these conditions into plat notes. The applicant is agreeable to
add such plat notes.
Commissioner Sumrall moved, and Commissioner Shapiro seconded the motion to
close the public hearing regarding Subdivision Exemption —Amended Lot 32, EMF1.
Motion carried: 6-0.
Commissioner Smith moved, and Commissioner Shapiro seconded the motion to
approve Resolution 2013-05-01 approving the Subdivision Exemption —Amended Lot
32, EMF1. Motion carried: 6-0.
5. Discussion and Possible Action Regarding:
a. Sign Code
Article 10 of the Fraser Municipal Code entitled, Signs and Outdoor Advertising Devices.
If you remember, we had a request from a Town Board member to revisit the Fraser
Sign Code and prohibit off-premise signage. The reason is that it is his belief that such
signage is ineffective and uncontrollable. I did send out a planner listsery on the topic
and discovered that many Colorado communities do not allow off-premise signs. We are
working on some proposed language that we will present at the PC meeting.
See Section 16-10-170 (c), page 16-99 regulates off-premise signs:
"Off-premise signs may be permitted if the business street frontage is not on U.S. 40.
Property owner's permission is required and off-premises signs must be approved by the
Board of Trustees on a case-by-case basis."
The Planning Commission discussed allowing off premise sandwich boards for special
events. Other off-premise signs still need to go before the Board for approval.
b. Zoning Regulations
During the Byers Peak Ranch annexation process, it was discussed with the Annexation
Committee and the applicant that there appears to be some duplication in the Town's
regulations relating to zoning requirements. We wanted to initiate a discussion
regarding changes the Business Zone and Planned Development District regulations to
provide for a more streamlined process without duplication.
6. Adjourn
Commissioner Smith moved, and Commissioner Shapiro seconded the motion to
adjourn. Motion carried: -0. Meeting adjourned at 7:50 p.m.
