TOWN OF FRASER "Icebox of the Nation" P.O. Box 120/153 Fraser Avenue Fraser, Colorado 80442 (970) 726-5491 FAX Une: (970) 726-5518 Manager's Briefing, 3/14/97 Action Items As I write this, we are waiting for the final documents that will (hopefully) allow us to proceed with the subdivision exemption on the new Maryvale PA 6 -- the parcel that Tom Urban is trying to purchase. This is scheduled as an action item Wednesday night but, depending on the completeness of their submission, we might need to consider holding a special meeting before the end of March to approve the subdivision exemption. Here's what is outstanding: . appropriately sized maps that the Planning Commission can attach to two resolutions that create the new planning area via two minor amendments to POD plan # 1; . several technical corrections that needed to the originally submitted subdivision exemption; . documents that secure a partial release from the property's lienholders and that secure access to adjoining Forest Service property; and . adoption ofthe resolutions mentioned above and the subdivision exemption by the Planning Commission. Here are the time constraints: . Maryvale would like to see this completed as soon as possible, allowing for a closing on the property by 3/31/97. . The Planning Commission must act on the resolutions and exemption prior to the Board. . Rod McGowan is leaving town next Thursday, 3/20/97. This item is listed as an action item for Wednesday but, depenqing on the accuracy of what is submitted and the Planning Commission's and Maryvale's closing schedule, we may ask for a special meeting -- probably on March 26th. Staff prefers the March 26th approval but we are trying to keep all options available. Discussion Items Howard Moody, County Manager, has requested a preliminary identification of Fraser's growth boundaries by March 20th. I told Howard that we would not be able to comply with this request. However, we should begin discussing this boundary with the community. Based on the input that we have had regarding Fraser's 3-mile annexation plan, I suggest that we hold a public hearing and that we invite County staff, the consultants who did the work for the coordinated bTfowth plan, and potentially impacted parties. This hearing would be scheduled around the consultant's and county staffs schedule. I'll have potential dates Wednesday night. . . When the Board approved the Maryvale Metro Districts review period last February, I stated that staffhad some concerns about the proposal but didn't go into any detail about those concerns. I have prepared a brief memo (enclosed) outlining some of the major concerns we have and would like to discuss these with the Board. Although the documents are lengthy, I have included copies for your perusal. We can walk through the service plans on Wednesday. Staff Choice Fraser has an ordinance that allows for zero-lot-line residential development and recently, we were approached by a couple of individuals who propose a zero-lot-line development in Upper Ptannigan. While it looks like they will not be able to utilize the zero-lot-line in Upper Ptarmigan due to minimum lot size requirements, we wanted to touch base with you to ensure that our interpretation of this ordinance is valid. The tinal county-wide meeting to discuss the coordinated f:,Tfowth management process conflicts with the Board's regularly scheduled April 2nd meeting. As we did last time, J would like to reschedule the Board's first regular meeting in April: how does April 9th sound? The contract for the Town's purchase of PA 28 is being completed. We're leaning towards a lease/purchase contract as the Town can't assume debt without an election and as a key reason for the final contract price was a guaranteed cash-now from the property for Maryvale. As soon as the contract is complete, the Board will need to approve the contract by resolution. 1 recommend that we engage the services of a brokerage finn by the name of Morgan Keegan to handle the dispossession of our Precision Standard Stock. Furthennore, I suggest that we partner with the Library District on this transaction as this will decrease the transaction fees associated with the dispossession. I will need a motion to this effect. Finally, Catherine and I have proposed a timetable for the review of Subdivision Regulation amendments: whaddy'a think? See you Wednesday. ~ e -' TOWN BOARD MARCH 5, 1997 The regular meeting of the Town Board was called to order at 7:30 p.m. Board present were Mayor Johnston, Havens, Swatzell and Klancke.

TOWN OF FRASER By: Mayor Attest: Town Clerk ýÿ . . TOWN OF FRASER "Icebox of the Nation" P.O. Box 120/153 Fraser Avenue Fraser, Colorado 80442 (970) 726-5491 FAX Line: (970) 726-5518 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor JObnst~raser Trustees From: Chuck Reid Date: March 10, 199 Subject: Maryvale Commercial and Residential Metro Districts update When the Board approved a timeframe extension for the review of the proposed Maryvale Metro Districts, I didn't go into detail about staffs review of the proposal-- mostly because it wasn't the appropriate time or place. Since we just received the court stipulation that extends the deadline, I'd thought it was time to brief you on our concerns to date. This memo includes thoughts from Lorraine Hayes (our financial expert on the proposal), Rod McGowan, and myself. Conceotuallssues . The IlrOposed districts are structured such that the commercial district makes decisions regarding debt and infrastructure development and the residential district pays a portion of these costs. This type of "split" metro district is only used in one other place, Eagle County. Eagle County's Finance Director told us that he didn't like this set-up as it effectively results in "taxation without representation" for the residential district and leaves control over the project's development in the developer's hands -- as opposed to the people who (will) live in the development. While the formulas which set the rates for each district share of the debt seem fair, staff is leaning towards recommending that only one metro district be fonned. . The City of Thornton, CO no longer allows the mill levy to be used to finance metro districts. Instead, development impact fees are built into the cost of the homes and included as part of the buyer's mortgage. No municipal services are provided until these impact fees have been paid. . Our .'eview assumes that the Board wants to exert as much control over the Metro Districts' formations as is possible -- but not so much as to present a liability for Fraser if the District's default. ýÿ . .
