Box 1~0 Fraser, CO 80442 Dear Boardmembers: At the next Town of Fraser meeting on Wednesday, January 8, the SmartShuttle Team will be introducing you to our program with the hopes that the Board will join other generous community sponsors in providing funds for the Smart Shuttle. The Smart Shuttle is a new program being organized by a group of young, concerned citizens from our community: It is our objective in this first year to generate enough funding to run a late night shuttle from 10:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. every Friday and Saturday night from the weekend before Christmas through the last weekend of the ski season. Thus far, the support that we have received from the community has been phenomonal. In our preliminary contacts with a few local businesses, we have already raised nearly one half of the funding needed to meet our primary goal. Enclosed is an information packet which will familiarze you with the SmartShuttle program. The two things that we are hoping the Town of Fraser will agree to sponsor are $1500.00 in cash funds to assist the Smart Shuttle in achieving its goal for covering costs through the end of lQ~7. Additionally, we would like to propose that the Town of Fraser recommend tOIis majistrate that the fine for vehicles parking on town streets over night be reduced for violators in possession of a Smart Shuttle receipt dated the same as the night of violation. Weare hoping that these measures will help prevent drunk drivers from attempting to drive their vehicles and thereby make the streets of our community safer. Thank you for considering both of these propositions. We look forward to answering any questions and concerns that you might have on Wednesday evening. Sincerely, t1lL~ ~ Maire Sullivan for the SmartShuttle Team . ~ e . SmartShuttle Team History The SmartShuttle team was brought together by a common interest in attempting to create a tipsy taxi type service as well as providing an alternate mode of late night transportation that would service our community during its busiest periods. In October, Deb Delap of Grand Futures was distributing alcohol awareness/drunk driving information to restaraunts and bars throughout the county. During her visits, Maire Sullivan and Rob Hilken expressed an interest in wanting to help create a tipsy taxi service. After an initial meeting between these two, they felt optimistic that creating such a service would be feasible if done with realistic goals in mind. From that point, they began proposing the idea to members of the community. The response they received was overwhelmingly positive. From these responses, they determined that members of our community deem such a service as necessary not only to keep drunk drivers off our roads but also to provide a mode of late night transportation for locals and tourists who are without vehicles. After being approched by Hilken and Sullivan, Jack VanHorn at Home James agreed to make one of his vans available for the SmartShuttle at a lower than market rate. VanHorn organized the last tipsy taxi service several years ago in conjunction with Grand County Resources for Youth (GCR Y). At this point, Kate Walker of GCR Y and Scott Emery also joined the team and were later joined by Scott Marchand. Since the initial meeting between Hilken and Sullivan in early November, the SmartShuttle team has volunteered over 100 hours of their time to develop the program, raise funds, create promotional materials, and inform the public about the existence of the SmartShuttle.

What is the SmartShuttle? The SmartShuttle is a proposed late night shuttle service that would run along the Hwy 40 corridor from Old Town to Fraser. Any individuals wishing to utilize the service may simply flag down the shuttle. Hours of operation are proposed as 10:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. Why does Winter Park/Fraser Valley need a SmartShuttle? Weare all aware that the primary industry in our valley is tourism. As we continue to market ourselves more towards destination and world class resort status, we must strive to meet the needs and expectations that guests have of such a resort. This includes providing them with a means to enjoy all the products that our community has to offer, day or night. In many ski magazines and marketing surveys, one area that Wmter Park is most often cited as lacking is in the opportunities for nightlife. However, any local could probably dispute this claim. We have a substantial number oflate night venues providing services ranging from food, drink, dancing, pool tables, bands, or simply a quiet place to enjoy the company of friends. Yet, this misperception probably causes us be somewhat unappealing the segment of the market that is in the single, 21 to 40 year old age group. The one service that is most lacking in the late night realm is transportation. Our existing modes of transportation essentially impose a curfew on the carless by forcing them to enjoy our town anytime before 11 p.m.. Anyone choosing to stay out beyond this time must either walk, hitchhike or take the taxi home. Our notoriously cold weather makes the first option rather unappealing to the unconditioned. The.second option is often considered offensive to the bulk of the population. And, unfortunately, the third option is more often than not perceived as too expensive. In order for our community to be more appealing to a broader range of the market, we must explore options that provide tourists with the ability to enjoy our town basically around the clock. The SmartShuttle is one such option. Furthermore, our lack of a 24 hour bus or taxi service combined with our infamously frigid weather, may force individuals to make poor decisions about their ability to driv~ after the consUmption of alcohol. Providing people with an alternate means oflate night transportation would enable them to make wiser choices concerning their sobriety. Giving people .the option of not driving is invaluable in the prevention of alcohol related accidents. Keeping impaired individuals from behind the wheel makes the roads of our community safer. Who would benefit from the SmartShuttle? Tourists and locals alike would benefit by being provided with a safe alternate mode of transportation during late night hours. Businesses would benefit from increased traffic flow during the period that the shuttle operates. Our community would benefit through safer roads. Our image as a resort would benefit by appealing to a broader range of the market segment by meeting the expectations of guests in their perception of what types of services and opportunities are available at a world class resort. How will this service be financed? We believe that the feeling of ownership is vital to the success of any project. For this reason, we are soliciting donations from businesses and individuals alike throughout our community. Additional funds are also being sought from a variety of government and non-profit organizations such as GCRY, Grand Futures, and the D.A' s office. During the course of the ski season, we plan to hold a number of fundraisers in an effort to raise additional monies and to increase public awareness of the SmartShuttle Program. ýÿ . . . .

On , 1996, a petition (hereinafter the "Petition") for the annexation to the Town of Fraser, Colorado of property generally described in Exhibit A hereto (hereinafter the "Property") was filed in the office of the Town Clerk. 2. On , 1996, the Town Clerk referred the Petition to the Board of Trustees as a communication. 3. The Board of Trustees determined that the Petition so filed was substantially in compliance with the requirements of Section 31-12-107(1), 12B C.R.S. (1986 Rep1.

The Board of Trustees fmds that the is a newspaper of general circulation in the area proposed to be annexed. 5. Copies of the published notice, Resolution No. _ and the Petition were also sent by registered mail by the Town Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners of Grand County and the Grand County Attorney. 12/9/96-pss U:\USERS\WP\KINGS\FINDRES2.B ýÿ , . 0 Q 6. A public hearing pursuant to Section 31-12-109, 12B C.R.S. (1986 Repl. Vol.) was held before the Board of Trustees on , 1996, at which all persons present were given an opportunity to present evidence upon any matter to be detennined by the Board of Trustees. 7. Based on the testimony of , a registered land surveyor, the Board of Trustees fmds that not less than one-sixth of the perimeter of the area to be annexed is contiguous with the existing boundaries of the Town of Fraser, Colorado. 8. Based on the testimony of , the Board of Trustees finds that a community of interest exists between the Property and the Town of Fraser, that the Property will be urbanized in the near future, and that the Property is integrated with or capable of being integrated with the Town. In this regard, the Town notes that no evidence whatsoever was presented at the hearing tending to show that: a. Less than fifty percent (50%) of the adult residents make use of recreational, civic, social, religious, industrial, or commercial facilities of the Town; or that b. Any landowner in the area to be annexed has expressed, under oath, an intention to devote the land to agricultural use for a period of not less than five (5) years; or that c. It is not physically practicable to extend to the Property those urban services which the Town provides in common to all its citizens on the same tenns and conditions as such services are made available to such citizens. 9. In establishing the boundaries of the Property, no land held in identical ownership, whether consisting of one (1) tract or parcel of real estate or two (2) or more contiguous tracts or parcels of real estate, was divided into separate parts or parcels without the written consent of the landowners thereof. 10. In establishing the boundaries of the Property, no land held in identical ownership compromising twenty (20) acres or more, with or without a valuation for assessment of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) for ad valorem tax purposes, was included without the written consent of the owner. 11. No annexation proceedings have been commenced for the annexation of all or any portion of the Property by any other municipality. 12. The annexation of the Property will not result in the detachment of area from any school district and the attachment of the same to another school district. 2 12/9/96-pss U:\USERS\WP\KINGS\FINDRES2.B , ýÿ c . . . 13. The annexation of the Property will not have the effect of extending the Town's boundary more than three (3) miles in any direction from any point on such boundary in any one (1) year. 14. Prior to the completion of this annexation the Town had in place a plan for the area, which plan was adopted as a portion of the Town's Comprehensive Plan, which generally describes the proposed location, character, and extent of streets, subways, bridges, waterways, waterfronts, parkways, playgrounds, squares, parks, aviation fields, other public ways, grounds, open spaces, public utilities, and tenninals for water, light, sanitation, transportation, and power and the proposed land uses for the area. 15. The Property does not include any platted street or alley, the entire width of which is not included within the area annexed. CONCLUSIONS Based upon the findings of fact set forth above, the Board of Trustees concludes as follows: 1. The requirements of Sections 31-12-104 and 105, 12B C.R.S. (1995 Cum. Supp.) have been met and the Property is eligible for annexation to the Town of Fraser. 2. No election is required under Section 31-12-107(2), 12B C.R.S. (1986 Rep!. Vo!.). 3. No additional tenns or conditions are to be imposed on the Property as part of this annexation. PASSED, ADOPTED AND APPROVED TIllS DAY OF . 1996 by a vote of to .

Based on the testimony of , a registered land surveyor, the Board of Trustees fmds that not less than one-sixth of the perimeter of the area to be annexed is contiguous with the existing boundaries of the Town of Fraser, Colorado. 8. Based on the testimony of , the Board of Trustees finds that a community of interest exists between the Property and the Town of Fraser, that the Property will be urbanized in the near future, and that the Property is integrated with or capable of being integrated with the Town. In this regard, the Town notes that no evidence whatsoever was presented at the hearing tending to show that: a. Less than fifty percent (50%) of the adult residents make use of recreational, civic, social, religious, industrial, or commercial facilities of the Town; or that b. Any landowner in the area to be annexed has expressed, under oath, an intention to devote the land to agricultural use for a period of not less than five (5) years; or that c. It is not physically practicable to extend to the Property those urban services which the Town provides in common to all its citizens on the same terms and conditions as such services are made available to such citizens. 9. In establishing the boundaries of the Property, no land held in identical ownership, whether consisting of one (1) tract or parcel of real estate or two (2) or more contiguous tracts or parcels of real estate, was divided into separate parts or parcels without the written consent of the landowners thereof. 10. In establishing the boundaries of the Property, no land held in identical ownership compromising twenty (20) acres or more, with or without a valuation for assessment of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) for ad valorem tax purposes, was included without the written consent of the owner. II. No annexation proceedings have been commenced for the annexation of all or any portion of the Property by any other municipality. 12. The annexation of the Property will not result in the detachment of area from any school district and the attachment of the same to another school district. 2 12/9/96-pss U:\USERS\WP\KINGS\FINDRES2.E ~ . . . 13. Th~ annexation of the Property will not have the effect of extending the Town's boundary ore than three (3) miles iI\ any direction from any point on such boundary in any one (1) year. 14. Prior, to the completion of this annexation the Town had in place a plan for the area, which plan was adopted as a portion of the Town's Comprehensive Plan, which generally describes the proposed location, character, and extent of streets, subways, bridges, waterways, waterfronts, parkways, playgrounds, squares, parks, aviation fields, other public ways, grounds, opep. spaces, public utilities, and tenninals for water, light, sanitation, transportation, and power ~d the proposed lanq uses for the area. 15. The Property does not include any platted street or alley, the entire width of which is not included within the area annexed. CONCLUSIONS Based upon the findings of fact set forth above, the Bo~d of Trustees concludes as follows: 1. The requirements of Sections 31-12-104 and 105, 12B C.R.S. (1995 Cum. Supp.) have been met and the Property is eligible for annexation to the Town of Fraser. 2. No election is required under Section 31-12-107(2), 12B C.R.S. (1986 Repl. Vol.). 3. No acfditional tenns or conditions are to be imposed on the Property as part of this annexation. PASSED, ADOPTED AND APPROVED TIllS DAY OF , 1996 by a vote of to .

Box 120 Fraser, CO 80442 Re: Air Quality Ordinance Dear Catherine: As we discussed previously, I had a concern with the part of the draft air quality ordinance which provided for "rebates" to be paid individuals and companies who upgrade to a certified burning device. My concern was that these provisions might violate certain restrictions on public grants to private parties, and in particular, Article XI, Section 2 of the Colorado Constitution, which provides that: Neither the state, nor any county, city, town, township, or school district shall make any donation or grant to, or in aid of, or become a subscriber to, or shareholder in any corporation or company or a joint owner with any person, company, or corporation, public or private.... I agreed to contact Lee Phillips regarding the similar provisions included in the Town of Winter Park's ordinance, to see what legal authority they relied on in incorporating those provisions. Whi.le he indicated that he was not involved in dratling or reviewing the subject ordinance, he said he thought that the rebate provisions were probably valid under the Colorado Supreme Court's decision in In re Interrogatory by Governor Romer, 814 P.2d 875 (Colo. 1991). In that decision, the Court upheld the legality of the legislative scheme designed to lure the United Airlines maintenance facility to Colorado. In the process of so holding, the Court referred to earlier cases which the Court indicated had recognized a "public purpose" exception to the constitutional prohibition against grants or donations to private parties. Specifically, the Court stated that Article XI, Section 2 of the Colorado Constitution "does not prohibit a municipality from conferring a monetary benefit on a private company in consideration of the company's undertaking a project, even though the company might have been required to C:\WP\LETTERS\KASK6C19.WPD ýÿ ( i . . . .. Ms. Catherine Skelton December 19, 1996 Page 2 undertake the project without such benefit, as long as the expenditure by a municipality furthers a valid public purpose." While I continue to have some reservations about the proposed rebate provisions, I would agree with Lee that the above-cited Supreme Court decision does provide arguable authority that the rebates would not violate the Constitution so long as they are designed to further a valid public purpose. Further, the rebates are clearly intended to serve a public benefit, by enhancing air quality in the Fraser Valley. Accordingly, if the Board wishes to include the rebate provisions in the ordinance, I believe it has a good faith legal basis for doing so. Rodney R. McGowan, P.C.

A portion of the statute, and our ordinance have been copied and enclosed for your review. lhe Statute does! allow for the governing body of each municipality to amend certain subsections ofthe regulations, specifically subsection 3. We have the choice to limit the Planning Commission to five members, instead of seven. We can also change the term limits. Currently, the term limits are six years. Staff propoSes that we change the term limits to a four year term instead of six. A six year commitment is a long time and maybe a reason why we are having diniculty in filling the ctJrrent vacant position on the Planning Commission. We further propose that the three current appointed planning commissioners draw straws to stagger their terms. Under our prQposal, two commissioners' terms would end in 1998, with the remaining commissioner's term expiring in the year 2000. , ýÿ . ARTICLE 10-1 . . . FRASER PLANNING COMMISSION Section 10-il-l.

L. 7'5. p. 1147. ~ l. ýÿ , a ~ October 23, 1996 Fraser Town Board, & Manager Chuck Reid Dear Friends, - When frustrated by'adversity, we tell ourselves that problems are actually disguised opportunities. It's a challenge to see how vandalism can be viewed as a lesson whereby all of us will benefit, but here's my best effort. We (Town, state, and myself) worked hard and went the extra mile to make the park and western heritage exhibit a success. But having recognized that, let's assume that vandals, rain, snow, the suns's ultra violet light, and people who climb on things are all trying to tell us something. We thought of the exhibit as an educational, artistic, and western history traffic stopper, but it's now obvious that unless changes are made, the outdoor exhibit will fall to ruin from atmospheric elements, vandalism, or both. I believe this exhibit and the park is a success, all of the things everyone had hoped for and with proper leadership, capable of receiving national attention. But hindsight indicates wood as a sculpture medium is irreplaceable if seriously vandalized; but even without vandalism, wood requires costly and continuous annual maintenance. A different medium must be utilized, incorporated into both future and past sculptures, preserving , artistic and historic continuity. ~ Ironically, the proper choice of a different medium could produce a significant cost reduction by eliminating maintenance. The new ~ medium must also make replacement simple if vandalism were to ~ occur again. Bronze, resin or acrylic are the best alternative mediums. Bronze is cost prohibitive,leaving resin or acrylic. t Further investigation is necessary, but I lean strongly toward resin to achieve low cost and artistic integrity. Pouring a figure in either resin or acrylic requires that I . initially create the sculpture in a malleable compound such as Iclay. This could be accomplished on site in Fraser, but I'll ~ address that later. A mold is then "pulled" off the clay figure, and when reassembled, the mold serves as a cavity from which an exact replica is produced. The mold could be used again to re-create the exact figure again if vandalism was experienced, and insurance could cover such foundry replacement. I estimate that each mold would cost the town about two thousand dollars. Pouring the resin sculpture, assembling, and finishing the sculpture artistically would cost about three thousand ýÿ ~ .~ dollars each(one/eighth the cost of pouring in bronze). These are preliminary estimates, but they give an indication of what will be necessary. Molds would also be pulled from the present wood sculptures, replacing the wood sculptures at the rate of one or two per year. The community, through the Town Board or its newly created 501 C3 non profit trustees, will recognize these changes as a necessary cost reduction for maintenance reasons alone. ( It's possible the 501 C3 Corporation would find outside funding, but I need to know if that is not forthcoming, will the Town guarantee the funding of the molds and poured figures so I can continue work this summer. I will continue to guarantee creation of the initial sculpture each year in clay such as I did in wood. D~nq any more sculptures (outdoors and unattended) in wood is ~ut of the question. Assuming for the moment that you agree to the above change in sculpture medium, I wish to return to the idea of my sculpting summers, in Fraser, either in the Town maintenance building or on site in the park. The site would require some degree of security from theft or vandalism if in the park. Specific public lecture time would be available during the day, and though people would be encouraged to watch me work, I need to be shielded from verbal contact at all other times or nothing will ever get done. without a glass wall or some such thing the rest of the time, it simply won't work. Otherwise, I will simply deliver the finished clay sculptures to the mold maker. That would be simpler and far less costly for me, but I want you to know I'm willing to spend my summers in the valley working on the exhibit. One thing for sure, I can no longer afford to subsidize a studio work area in ~ the valley as I did the previous eight years. ( I In conjunction with sculpting there, I have been investigating ~ summer housing in the valley. Condos are running 900 a month or more. As you're aware, I own a nice motor coach (5th wheel ~ system) . Does the Town own a place where I could place it while 'CII working in the summer? Access to water and electricity would be t necessary (20 or 30 amp). Access to sewer hook-up is not necessary but would be nice. I would pay for such expenses ~ myself, but thought it sensible to at least investigate this possibility to save money over renting a condo for $3,600 each summer. As an aside, the Chamber of Commerce has sponsored or proposed to sponsor a resident summer artist in the past, (asking the town of Fraser to participate in its cost). What is this program, and would my working on site qualify me as the visiting resident artist during summers?... and is there a stipend for such a thing so as to lower my expenses? Seems worth a call by the Town to investigate this under these circumstances. All of these things are connected in one degree or another, and I need to make plans as soon as possible.... no later than the end . . of December with respect to housing. Need to know about the resin sculpture commitment at the same time, as it controls whether I will even need summer housing. I will assume the maintenance building will work for clay sculpting if the resin change is agreed to. My performing the work in the park could be something for later summers, if at all. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts as soon as possible, 9 (- 0 ~~,- -~ Jim Hoy P.o. Box 9046 Grand Junction, Co. 81501 Phone 1800 234 4231, Ext. 55186 . I @- . . i Tel November 27, 1996 Mayor Jeff Johnston Mayor Town of Fraser 153 Fraser Avenue PO Box 120 Fraser, Colorado 80442 Dear Mayor Johnston: TCI Cablevision of the Rockies, Inc. will be making two changes that I want to make you aware of: Effective December 31, 1996, we will change our programming line-up in order to make it more appealing to a broader base of customers and non-customers and, we will be implementing certain adjustments to our service, installation and equipment charges effective January 1, 1997. Among the programming changes we are considering are: the launch of Animal Planet, Encore Plex, and MSNBC (the new Microsoft/NBC partnership)! To make room for theses broadly-based. family-orientated networks, we will be dropping WGN. The service rate adjustments reflect inflation and the increased costs of bringing our customers many of their favorite cable networks -- just as the networks' costs of obtaining new and better programming have also increased. The regular example I usually give is that the more million dollar quarterbacks we have, the more professional teams charge to air their team playing, and thus the higher the operating costs for ESPNlFox Sports...; therefore what these programmers charge cable operators for the right to can)' their programming increases. , The way we charge for converters will also change, effective January 1, 1997. Converter charges are no longer based upon the type of converter a customer uses. Instead, TCI has chosen to employ the revised FCC rules that permit operators to separate converters into two categories: customers who subscribe to Basic service only and use a converter to tune only Basic service will be charged $1.50, and customers who subscribe to more than the Basic service level will receive monthly converter charge of $3.00. Also, beginning January 1, 1997, our premium rates will increase by $2.04 for all customers who receive Starz! or Starz!/Encore packages with up to 1 premium pay service and $3.04 for those Starz!/Encore packages with more than 1 premium pay services. This increase is due to the fact that beginning in January, Starz! will have more first-run movies than any other pay service. Obviously, these changes are driven from what the financial markets are requiring in terms of operating efficiency and what customers are requiring in terms of product and service. Many of the programming costs that cable operators have paid are outweighing there value in programming which is dictating decision making somewhat different from the past. TCI is confident that the decisions that are being made will keep us on the cusp of the robust telecommunications environment.

Headwaters Tl'ails Alliance P.O. Box 946, Granby, CO 80446 December 26, 1996 Town of Fraser On December 4, 1996, Grand County approved a contribution of $11,460 to the Headwaters Trails Alliance (HTA) to help fund a part-time, one-year position of Trails Development Coordinator.-These funds came from a 1996 Planning Department Budget item for full-year funding of HT A. Since HT A was only funded for six months in 1996, upon request Grand County directed the remainder of these funds to HT A. As a ~ondition of granting this request, the Board of County Commissioners asked that HTA petition its other contributing entities for funds budgeted to HTA but not granted in 1996 (i.e.: the remaining half-year portion). It is in order to fulfill this condition that we respectfully request the Town of Fraser to make available to liT A any funds directed to HT A in the 1996 budget that have not been rewarded. Since its inception in July 1996, HTA has formed a Board of Directors, drawn up Articles of Incorporation and Corporate By-Laws, incorporated, and filed for 501(c)(3) nonprofit recognition. It has also established a grant application mechanism (and mini-grant application mechanism), sent representatives to the Colorado Trails Symposium, agreed to become a co-sponsor with the V.S.D.A. Forest Service in National Public Lands Day, and taken a lead position in the preliminary steps to build a trail between Fraser and Granby. In the last several months HT A conducted an applicant search and hired two , part-time staff persons, a Development Coordinator (one-year position) and a Operations Coordinator. With the hiring of these staff members, HTA will move rapidly in fulfilling its role as a countywide, comprehensive trails organization. We look forward to t~e job ahead - developing and maintaining a viable trail system that will serve all Grand County residents and visitors. ~ j' sm~rel~ . ...,"" ~i ,l-- .'

As a reminder, The Bank's gift is not actually for the Town -- it is intended for an as-of-yet unformed Community Development Corporation (CDC) and the Bank is asking that the Town hold the $200,000 in escrow until the CDC is formed. Upon formation of the non-profit CDC (which will include the adoption of bylaws and the appointment ofa Board of Directors) the Town will be required to transfer this $200,000 to the CDC. All costs associated with the CDC would be paid from the $200,000. We also have a public hearing scheduled at 8:00 to consider amendments to Section 12 of Fraser's Municipal Code (or more simply, the zoning code). The amendments adopt design criteria suggestions and simplify the' review process. In order to save trees, we did not include a COllY of the proposed ordinance as it was in the last packet. Adoption of the amendments is scheduled as an action item after the public hearing. Discussion Items I'd like to talk with y'alI about two ways in which weican amend ordinances and resolutions that will change the operation our water system. We can ~dopt a short ordinance that will change the "tap" tees immediately or we can spend some more time and overhaul Section 8 of the Municipal Code (or, more simply, the water code). Enclosed are two proposed ordinances that we can use as a springboard for discussion -- we'll tall< more about these on Wednesday. Catherine and I would also like additional direction oh the Town's Floodplain Ordinance: see the background information and memo from Catherine for details. See you Wednesday!

Floodway Mapping Discussion ~. . RE: DATE: February 27, 1997 In February 1995, the Town Board enacted Ordinance #216 which contains regulations for the prevention of flood damage within the Town of Fraser. Subsequently, in March 1995, the Town Board adopted Resolution #3-1-95 which adopted provisions intended to make flood insurance available within the Town of Fraser. 111e ordinance and resolution are attached for your review, The flood plain ordinance requires that a development permit must be obtained before construction or development begins within any area of special flood hazard. The areas of special flood hazard within the Town of Fraser are identified on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map (FHBM) published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Fraser does have a FHBM and is attachedfhr your review. The problem that I face, as the administrator for development permits in relation to the flood damage prevention regulations and the flood insurance program, is that the flood hazard boundary for the Town of Fraser was originally mapped in 1974, and revised in 1976. The corporate limits of Fraser have grown significantly since the floodplain was originally mapped. Minutes from a June 15th, 1994 Town Board meeting indicate that Mark Matulik from the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) presented an overview of the Flood Insurance Program to the Board. The minutes further state that ifthe Town wanted to participate in the program, CWCB would,do detailed flood mapping for the Town. This mapping project may have begun under a 'past administration,' but nothing has materialized. ýÿ . . ~ , Floodway Mapping Discussion Memo, page 2 ISSUE ##1: While we await new flood hazard boundary maps, the Town should consider adopting an amendment to the ordinance which would read as fonows: . ADD A NEW SECTION: Section 4-3-4 (7) "For all watercourses within the corporate limits ofthe Town of Fraser, all applicants proposing to erect a structure within 60 feet of a watercourse will be required to generate detailed floodplain engineering data which determines base flood elevations." ISSUE #2: Do you want st~ffto pursue this re-mapping project in conjunction \,rith CWeB? Should staff prioritize this project? How much staff time and Town money do you want to expend? We would need topographic and floodplain maps of the entire Towll. Some of this work have been done by Ed Opitz at Rocky Mountain Engineers. Compiling all this data wiII entail quite a bit of work. We look forward to the discussion. . . , . TOWN OF FRASER ORDINANCE NO. :J/~' AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 4 OF THE CODE OF THE TOWN OF FRASER BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW ARTICLE 4-3, CONTAINING REGULATIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF FLOOD DAMAGE WITHIN THE TOWN OF FRASER; AND PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE PROVISIONS THEREOF. WHEREAS, pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes, Title 31, Article 23, Parts 2 and 3, the Legislature of the State of Colorado has delegated the responsibility to local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the pUblic health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry; and WHEREAS, flood hazard areas of the Town of Fraser, are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare; and WHEREAS, these flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards which increase flood heights and velocities, and when inadequately anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed, elevated or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE Tm-TN OF FRASER, COLORADO, THAT: PART 1: AMENDMENT OF TOWN CODE. The Code of the Town of Fraser, Colorado (herein sometimes referred to as the "Town Code") is hereby amended by adding a new Article to Chapter 4 of said Code, to be numbered "Article 4-3" and entitled "FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION REGULATIONS", which shall read as follows: ARTICLE 4-3 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION REGULATIONS Section 4-3-1.

Make interpretations, where needed, as to the exact location of the boundaries of the areas of special flood hazards (for example, where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions). The person contesting the location of the boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity to appeal the interpretation as provided in Section 4-3-6. Section 4-3-6 Variance Procedure. (1) Appeal Board. (a) The Board of Adjustment as established by the Town of Fraser shall hear and decide appeals and requests for variances from the requirements of this Article. (b) The Board of Adjustment shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision, or determination made by the Town Manager in the enforcement or administration of this Article. (c) An applicant aggrieved by a decision of the Board of Adjustment, may appeal such decision to the District Court, as provided in the Colorado Rules of civil Procedure, Rule 106. (d) In passing upon such applications, the Board of Adjustment shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this Article, and: (i) the danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others; (ii) the danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; (iii) the susceptibility of the proposed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner; (iv) the importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community; - 6 - . . . (v) the necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable; (vi) the availability of alternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion damage; (vii) the compatibility of the proposed use with the existing and anticipated development; (viii) the relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan and flood plain management program for that area; (ix) the safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles; (x) the expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and sediment transport of the flood waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; and, (xi) the costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions, including maintenance and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems, streets and bridges. (e) Upon consideration of the factors of Section 4-3- 6(1) (d) and the purposes of this Article, the Board of Adjustment may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this Article. ( f) The Town Manager shall maintain the records of all appeal actions, including technical information, and report any variances to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. (2) Conditions for Variances. (a) Generally, variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the base level, providing items (i-xi) in Section 4-3-6(1) (d) have been fully considered. As the lot size increase beyond the one-half acre, the technical justifications required for issuing the variance increases. (b) Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation or restoration of structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places or the State Inventory of Historic Places, without regard to the procedures set forth in the remainder of this section. ' (c) Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood diSCharge would result. (d) Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief. (e) Variances shall only be issued upon: (i) a showing of good and sufficient cause; - 7 - . . . (ii) a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; and, (iii) a determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances. (f) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice, if applicable, that the issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance as high as $25 for $100 of insurance coverage, and that such construction below the base flood level increases risks to life and property.
