6. Minturn Water Tap Fee Discussion — Fee Application Review
Town Manager Willy Powell, presented three alternatives for tap fees, for Planning Commission's
consideration. In order to make it more equitable to different residential land uses, in comparison to
the current system: one size fits all- tap fee.
Mr. Powell recommended Alternative 3, which starts at a minimum of 1500 SF. The schedule is
progressive, but less than Alternative 2. The feedback from the Planning Commission was in
agreement with the proposed alternatives with the suggestion of combining single & multi — family
fee structure. A new application will be proposed at the next meeting showing this change.
The fee schedules proposed to improve the tap fees system for Single and Multi- Family Residences,
will be fin-ther discussed, to make a suitable decision, especially for apartments/ lock offs.
7. 611 Main Street —Remodel of existing home —add roof and small addition
Town Planner described the situation of the construction taking place at this address, without design
review approval or a building permit. A "stop work order" — "red tag" was placed on the structure
from the town. The Planner presented the report that all changes made were in zoning compliance
and the materials used on the addition were to match the existing materials on the home. The
application was minimal due to the fact that most work was interior — the addition was the less than
300 sq. ft. of the structure and was already 75% built, so could be physically seen — the design — and
there was a rush with time to present to planning commission by November 8 (two days) - due to the
holidays, next design review meeting will be December 13, 2017 — a month away.
The applicant had submitted plans for the interior work and outside addition to the building
department for plan review. The applicant made a mistake not applying for appropriate applications.
The town is fining for building without permits. Fines are established by the town manager and
building department. The planner accepted plan view drawings and the ILC that shows impervious
surface, building lot coverage, setbacks and parking requirements meet zoning requirements, they
were not changing the height of the structure and the design review is minimal because they are
matching existing siding, roof material and windows to the 269 sq. ft. addition to the south side wall.
All zoning codes met.
Owner Cavan Havlik, 611 Main St., explained the main issues he has confronted while starting to dig
and remodel the property. He made it clear that the Sewer system was crushed, the whole structure
was old and coming apart. He showed hand drawn pictures of the house and the interior plans. He
showed the ILC drawing with the new building additions and modifications.
Greg G. showed concerns about the rough hand drawings. He also expressed concerns of plumbing
matters, electrical and foundation issues. He recommended the owners to seek professional advice
and assistance. He questioned if the building plans were hand drawn. The applicant said yes and the
planner confirmed they were being reviewed by the building department for the interior work.
Greg S. requested to see some kind of finished product, such as pictures, to depict how it will look
once finished. As well as the materials being used in the construction. They believed a professional
design and engineering application, needs to be presented in order to review the plans accurately.
Burke H. inquired about the dimensions and required them to provide additional information
detailing: the four elevations, labeled and drawn to scale.
Mr. Havlik clarified that the outside design, the materials and colors, will remain exactly the same.
They are only trying to update and fix the property, for health and safety purposes. They are not
going any taller with the structure so the existing height is the four elevations being requested.
Motion to Table the Design Review of the land development at 611 Main St. in Minturn. The
applicant needs to submit full detail plans with all elevations, drawn better, or by an architect.
A material board and material examples are needed.
First by Burke H, second by Greg G. Motion passed 4-1. Greg S. voted nay.
Recess called at 7:45pm.
Meeting called back to order at 7:50pm.
8. 1041 Main Street —Add a pole roof over the existing residence for snow load support
Note: Greg S. recused himself due to a conflict of interest with the application.
Janet H. explained the applicant was here to appeal the Planning Directors decision not to allow the
pole barn roof over the trailer. She clarified the application process for building permits at this
property started in 2015, which have now expired. The Planner introduced the applicant Johnnie
Rosenfeld, 1041 Main St., who requested permission to remodel the existing mobile home from 1969.
The application is to add a pole roof over the existing residence, for snow load support.
The Planner had denied this application per code Section 16-22-10, 16-22-40and 50 and Sec. 16-22-
60 - making a non -conforming structure more non -conforming and mobile home replacement.
Mr. Rosenfeld described the process of his previous applications. Stating that the Town Code and
landscape requirements, have changed over the last 3 years. He would like the Planning Commission
to approve the separate roof over the trailer as it does provide work force housing.
Greg G. asked if there was an existing pole support in the mobile home already. Mr. Rosenfeld
responded there isn't any currently.
Burke H. expressed his frustration with trailers in town. Stating that the landlords take advantage of
their tenants that don't have anywhere else affordable to move to, therefore have to tolerate
uninhabitable conditions of living. He considers that approving this permit for a 1969 trailer, would
give precedence to other mobile homes to get similar permits, even when they are non -conforming
structures. Burke H. voiced that unless Mr. Rosenfeld could isolate his situation from any or all other
trailers in the same condition, he didn't agree with the request.
Greg G. agreed with Burke H. on if this could be an isolated condition and suggested allowing a
temporary permit with the entire mobile home having to be removed after 3-5 years.
Motion not to over- turn the Planning Directors decision and to deny the application to add a new pole
roof structure at 1041 Main St.
First by Greg G., second by Burke H. All in favor 4-0.
