RE: MARYV ALE VILLAGE 1998 ZONING REQUIREMENTS
Dear Chuck:
It was great to meet with you and your consultants yesterday to discuss the Forest Meadows water
augmentation plan. It sounds like we will be able to work together on a mutually beneficial arrangement
regarding the implementation of this plan.
At the meeting I discussed certain areas of concern Maryvale LLC has in completing some of the required
items as specified in the Maryvale PDP Zoning approval. They are: 1) Payment of the school impact fee 11)
due by October 31, 1998; 2) Survey and Dedication of the Linear Park by December 31, 19..2.8; and 3) \" I~\ "-
Survey and easement from east side of Highway 40 to Forest Service property by Dember 31, 1998.-
':flt111&
Please accept this letter as Maryvale LLC's request to extend the 1 sl payment of the agreed upon school fee
to on or before December 15, 1998. Also, Maryvale LLC would request an extension of the Survey and
Dedication of the Linear Park, and Easement to the Forest Service property, to December 31, 1999. The
reasons for the survey and easement extensions are as follows. In the preliminaIy planning of the Upper
East Side, we have found that utility easements must be identified prior to survey completion for the Linear
Park and the Open Space area does not accurately show where the Forest Service land connects at the
current trail. In order for a quality plan to be submitted that would be acceptable to the Town, these areas
must be addressed. I am currently working on them and will communicate with you for your input during
this process.
Please consider these requests and respond as soon as possible so I may communicate with Maryvale LLC
and move forward with planning. If you would like, I would be more than happy to meet with you and the
Town Board to discuss this and answer any questions they may have.
Sincerely,
Developing Equities Group LLC

Re: Lease Proposal for "old library"
Dear Chuck,
The Fraser Valley Metropolitan Recreation Distri<< proposes to lease the "old library"
building for a term of five years, commencing January 1, 1999 and ending December 31, 2003.
The first three years the district proposes $8.00 square foot and $8.50 square foot for the
remaining tWo years.
In addition to the lease, the district would like to ipvest a substantial amount of money
into the building. This investment is as follows;
1. Move stairwell, to allow more usable tloor space for both levels.
2. Enclose private office space upstairs.
3. Add three windows~ south side of the main tlo~r of the eastern section of the building.
4. Add a small kitchen sink and cabinets near the bathroom.
5. Wall patch, repairs and paint.
6. Window coverings.
7. New carpeting throughout building.
When your contractor completes the repair work, 'Which we understand will be near
January 1, 1999, the same contractor can have the propo&ed remodel completed at the same time.
The district could move from the "log building" and the g~:meral recreation offices at this time.
The district would like to also continue with the current relationship the general recreation
department has with the town by still providing programs: and services out of the gymnasium, arts
& crafts room and the park area. The district also has an :extreme amount of program inventory
stored in the arts & crafts room, gymnasium and in the baisement, and we would like the ability to
keep the inventory there as storage is a problem for us. The district will consider paying rental
fees for the spaces for adult program use, but would like the town to waive any children program
usages, as this is the same policy we use with the East Grand School District.
Thank you for your past support with the district,: not having the ability to yet own our
own facilities, the town has been wonderfully cooperative and supportive.

Dear Chuck:
This letter is in response to the Town of Fraser's request for Leas~ Proposals on the "old Library" building.
I am looking for a long-tenn pennanent location for my businesstls within the Town of Fraser. The "old
Library" is an ideal building and location for my proposed use.
Half of the building would be used for Bottom Line Bookkeeping Service, a stable Fraser business currently
located in the Fraser Arctic Cat building. This business is owned! and operated by myself, Gloria Murray, a
Fraser resident and homeowner. Bottom Line Bookkeeping is ani established and growing company
providing accounting services to Grand County since 1991.
The main floor of the other side of the building would be used fot Alpenglow Massage and Neuromuscular
Therapy. Established in 1995, this business is also owned and operated by Gloria Murray, and provides
massage therapy to local and tourist clientele.
i
The loft area would be used by Grand County Yoga Co-op, a norjprofit organization providing inexpensive,
ongoing yoga classes to Fraser residents. The space would be av~ilable to other community groups for
meetings, seminars, etc. of a like nature.
I propose to lease the building under the conditions listed as "mirlimum standards" outlined in your letter.
Acceptance of this proposal would provide the Town of Fraser with the following benefits:
. Stable, long-tenn tenant - Bottom Line Bookkeeping, Inc. would be the principle lessee subleasing
space to Alpenglow and the Yoga Co-op. Gloria Murray wduld be the responsible party as 100%
stockholder of Bottomline, sole proprietor of Alpenglow and a Director of Grand County Yoga Co-op.
References are available upon request.
. Community benefits - These businesses provide jobs and services to locals. Grand County Yoga Co-op
was fonned to fulfill the need for Yoga classes close to hom~. Many of the clients of both Bottom Line
and Alpenglow are Fraser residents, employees and business owners.
I
. Good use of building - The building is nearly already setup for the intended use, including a ramp
entrance for handicap access to the massage practice. All bijsinesses are low-impact and would not
cause any detrimental affects to the property.

. Minimal remodel- WaIls to separate two massage treatment rooms and one to separate Bottom Line
Bookkeeping from Alpenglow. This could be accomplished by constructing removable, semi-
permanent walls built with screws and no electrical outlets. Addition of washer/dryer hookup for
Alpenglow.
Site Constraints:
. Adequate parking - None of the businesses listed are high traffic. Bottom Line Bookkeeping clients
tend to arrive and depart one at a time. Alpenglow Massage will only accomodate up to two clients.
The yoga classes average six students and will be limited by Loft space (many students who live in
town walk to class).
I respectfully request the Town consider this proposal. If you have questions or need additional
. information, please contact me at the above address and phone number. Thank you.

I hope each of you read Dan Grotewohl 's le~r to the (!ditor. He was right
on. Yes it probably is easier to spend money paving the roads than trying to
buy open land. The roads can and will be paVed anytime.
