were not willing to talk specifics about the project without the entire development

purchase and subsequent annexation of property west of the P.D.D. golf course site,
With luck and diligence, they'l1 be back to talk specifIcs soon. '
Enclosed you'l1 find a lette.r from Winter,Park West regarding Maryvale's ~equest for
water service, along with a memorandum and a map addressing the same. Although
we have a very busy schedule Wednesday night, we win want to talk about how to
respond to their letter.' .
. Also enclosed is a letter mailed to Grand County about a new subdivision, Elk Horn .
Ridge, located off County Road 8,' ,It's probably tif!le to review the 1987 master
traffic plan and other off-site impact documents to see if we're an sti11 driving and
planning the same direction. This wil1 probably be part of the County-wide growth
coordination effort.

Lurline Underbrink Curran
Orand County Director of Planning
P.O. Box 239
Hot Sulphur Springs, CO 80451
Dear Lurline:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Elkhom Ridge preliminary plat. The Town of
Fraser has two comments with regard to the proposed subdivision.
1. Under the "Utility and Fire Protection" section of Ted Urban's cover letter, reference
is made to accessing a fire hydrant "immediately across from the entrance to the project
on County Road 8." Even though we don't believe the hydrant is ours, we would like to
know whose fire hydrant this is, and if the developer has provided the County
written approval for its use?
2. As the unincorporated areas around Fraser continue to grow, the Town will be looking
to the County to help mitigate an ever growing demand on Fraser's infrastructure from
County residents. Such mitigation could include a stop light at US 40 and County Road 8
(at some point in the future) and/or infrastructure benefit assessment fees that the County
would collect and pass through to Fraser. Along these lines, what is the County requiring
the developer to do to limit traffic Impact?
., Again, thank you for the review opportunity.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Jensen and Town Board Members
From: Chuck Reid
Date: July 12, 1995
Subject: Winter Park West Water & Sanitation District (WPW) Request
A few thought's regarding WPW's letter.
. Although it does not state this in the letter, WPW may require annexation to serve the 1,000
taps. The 1,000 taps would cover an area that is mucb larger than just planning area #26, (See
the attached map,)
Rod McGowan is evaluating the TABOR amendment and a provision that may work
for us in this case. After he renders an opinion, 1'11 pass the details along,
. Based on my limited knowledge of the Fraser Sanitation DistrictlWPW wastewater facility,
WPW is close to capacity and can not treat the entire 1,000 taps -- a fact that may be mute due
to Maryvale's continued interest in obtaining sewer service from Grand County Water and
Sanitation District #1 (GCWSD) for only planning area #26.
. IfMaryvale went to GCWSD for sewer, GCWSD may require annexation. (See attached map.)
Rod McGowan is evaluating the TABOR amendment and a provision that may work for us in
this case. After he renders an opinion, 1'11 pass the details along.
. Prior to taking formal action on WPW's request, I want to perform due diligence on WPW's
current service capacity, future demands, integration and consolidation options, etc. that Fraser
would want to consider prior to approving Maryvale's proposal.
As we discuss WPW's request (and the potential request from GCWSD), we need to stay focused
on what's best for Fraser, and what we might request in return for al10wing either district to serve
Fraser residents.

Town of Fraser,
Fraser, Colorado
Dear Mayor and Town Board,
This is a very tough letter to write, but I believe it has a
happy ending.
Events and financial commitments to family have made it
imperative for Carol and myself to go into business again. We've
chosen one which will allow us to meet those responsibilities as
well as time to continue work on the western heritage educational
exhibit for the Walk Through History Park. Carol can also
continue writing historical and contemporary fiction.
The business we're purchasing is an RV and mobile home park in
the Sierra Nevada Mountains of eastern California (near Lake
Tahoe). The RV section is open only in summer months, freeing us
up to continue the above pursuits.
I will sculpt there, and deliver the figures to Fraser once a
year. A much longer drive than from my studio in Fraser, but it
will also be a chance to see you each year. Nothing else need
change significantly.
I hope very much that you will, through the professional help of
a consultant such as Michael Blimes, move aggressively to make
the Park a legal non-profit entity so as to capture corporate and
foundation grant money. This will aid in helping the town help me
recapture past and future expenses. It will also aid in funding
the enhanced exhibit tools we've discussed, and possibly a
national or international tour of this project. All of this is
within the spirit of our original agreement...a win-win for the
town, the state, myself, and the public.
All of us are contributing to make this world a better and more
interesting place than we found it in. My needing to relocate
should not compromise what we first set out to accomplish, and
11m confident most people appreciate what the town, state, and
myself have done on this exhibit and park project to date.
There's so much more we can do to enhance it.
Sincerely yours,
-
