6. Planning Commission Comments
Greg S. asked if Active Energies had cleaned the clutter and pallets outside their property at 102
Main St. Janet H. clarified the Town's Code enforcement officer has addressed the issue and is
working with the new owners towards compliance of the code. They have removed the pallets
behind the store and have been given a warning on not using their required parking spaces as
storage for equipment.
7. Planning Director Report
Janet H. informed the Planning Commission that she accepted 3 new design applications, which
will be presented in the following meetings.
She updated the PC on the proposed routes of the Holy Cross Transmission Lines. The concern
is the route in town. There is a citizen advisory group started: `Bury the Line' Eagle County
Citizen Advisory Group — to educate the public and work on the alternative to have the entire
line in Minturn's valley buried.
The trailer park fire resulted in the town condemning 6 trailers. The owner requested inspection
and the remaining trailer were also condemned. The tenants were informed of the hazardous
conditions and given until May 30th to find another place to live in.
8. 719 Main Street — Design Review Application
Janet H. introduced Scott McDonald and Stephanie Lambourn, owners of the property at 719
Main St. She clarified on the site plan submitted in the packet that the parking lot turnaround
driveway cut width was too large per CDOT's regulations. Being 10-12' feet is the maximum
width allowed for highway 24.
The applicant does meet the 5% snow storage and landscape requirements, as well as the
setbacks. The project is a new single family home, with 1 accessory apartment.
Burke H. expressed concern on the parking scheme, if the garage is not utilized specifically for
parking cars instead for storage.
Greg S. appreciated the maximum height of 28' mid -roof and the fact the building mass on the
front is reduced in scale, providing more light to the neighboring properties.
Janet H. stated the plans could not be approved as is with the driveway cut width and tum
around because it is against code. This can be worked out at staff level if the design is
approved.
Motion by Greg G., second by Greg S., to approve the design review application of 719 Main St.
with the condition that the driveway cut and turnaround, is redrawn to code requirements and
approved at a staff level. Motion passed 4-0. Note: Lauren Dickie and Jeff Armistead were
excused absent.
