During the meeting, members were introduced to each other and our contractor Laurie
Batchelder Adams, from LBA Associates, summarized the work carried out to date:
conduction of a county -wide survey, holding public meetings, and performing waste
audits. A list of suggested waste diversion improvement options was presented to the
members at the meeting. The list is composed of suggestions from the public, local
haulers, local governments, and of numbers gathered during the waste audit. Attendants
of the meeting agreed to rank those options and continue the discussion at the next
meeting.
Planning
The Planning Department continues to accept applications from local businesses for
Business Enhancement Grant. The program runs on a fund that can be utilized by local
businesses or organizations to enhance the physical appearance of their property.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on a major subdivision proposal,
Rendezvous East Mountain Filing 10, a portion of East Mountain Filing 1, Planning Area
1 E, lots 72-75. The proposal was a replat of four large custom home lots into 18 home
sites. A Resolution recommending approval of the proposal was passed with conditions.
Also, the Commission approved Resolution 2016-06-02
recommending the Board of Trustees adopt amendments to
the Municipal Code in regards to parking regulations. The
Commission has been working on the off-street parking puzzle
and evaluating parking strategies and possible amendments to
these regulations for several months. The Commission has
overhauled the Fraser parking regulations to enable and
encourage innovation in an attempt to improve the quality and
character of the community and build a healthier economy!

MEMO TO: Mayor Vandernail and the Board of Trustees
FROM: Catherine E. Trotter, AICP, Town Planner
DATE: June 8, 2016
SUBJECT: Zoning code amendments
MATTER BEFORE BOARD:
We have scheduled a public hearing on zoning code amendments specifically relating to
parking regulations. The Planning Commission has discussed the proposed amendments at
several meetings and recommended approval of said amendments at a public hearing on June
8, 2016.
ACTION REQUESTED/EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Approval of the proposed amendments to the zoning code (parking regulations) via ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
THE OFF-STREET PARKING PUZZLE: Below is information is taken from research conducted
by staff:
Much recent parking literature argues that excessive parking supply discourages alternative
modes of transportation, reduces density, increases the cost of development, creates an
uninviting built environment, and degrades the natural environment (e.g., by increasing polluted
stormwater runoff into area water bodies, increasing air pollution by inducing automobile travel,
and contributing to urban heat islands). While benefits may accrue from minimizing the amount
of off-street parking, downsizing minimum parking requirements may be a tricky proposition in
many communities due to the feared impact on other community objectives.
However, there is also good news. There are many reasons to change current policies and
implement more efficient parking management. Current policies are wasteful and contradict
most other planning objectives. They assume that land is cheap, that everybody drives
everywhere, and that automobile dependency and sprawl are acceptable. As soon as we
question any of those assumptions, for example, if land is costly and we want to deliver
affordable housing, or a city is becoming more multimodal with a growing portion of trips by
walking, cycling, and public transportation, then parking policy and planning reforms become
justified. Every so often you will probably encounter an opportunity to introduce political change.
For example, your community may want to encourage more affordable housing and infill
development, and you can point out that parking policy changes are needed to help achieve
those objectives. Similarly, your community might consider traffic and parking congestion major
problems, which also justify parking policy reforms and development of a parking management
Town of Fraser
PO Box 370, Fraser, CO 80442 office 970-726-5491 fax 970-726-5518

plan, or even better, a transportation management plan that includes parking management.
Parking management and commute trip reduction can also be part of your community's plans to
reduce climate change emissions and sprawl. In other words, parking management is an
effective solution to many different problems (or, described differently, it helps achieve
many different planning objectives).
There are many problems associated with current parking ratios and the subsequent oversupply
of parking. These traditional approaches to regulating parking lead to vast expanses of parking
which in turn separate land uses, reduce densities, impair walkability, and create obstacles to
providing transit and pedestrian friendly communities. From a developer's perspective, inflated
parking ratios reduce the development potential of a site, requiring more land to be used for
parking as opposed to a higher and better use, and adding significant costs to development
projects. In fact, some development projects may not be financially feasible under current local
parking policies.
Addressing these concerns requires local jurisdictions and developers to work together to revise
parking policies to more appropriately manage parking. Revised parking policies should
accommodate necessary parking, while at the same time encouraging attractive, pedestrian and
transit friendly urban design, promoting alternative modes of transportation, preserving open
space, and improving air and water quality.
Parking maximums are intended to ensure that there is not an excess supply of parking.
One way in which local ordinances help enable shared parking is to allow for off-street parking
facilities to be located off-site of the lot on which the structure or use being served is located.
Such ordinances usually specify a maximum distance from the structure or use within which the
off-site parking facility must be located.
Since the advent of the personal automobile, the American landscape has become
predominantly a habitat for cars, with streets, parking facilities, and other auto -oriented uses
dominating the built environment. Parking facilities in particular have become an omnipresent
feature of the American landscape, consuming land and resources, inhibiting the functioning of
natural systems, creating dead gaps in what otherwise might be vibrant commercial areas, and
creating conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians and bicyclists. This adverse impact on the
walkability of communities is a particular challenge to creating lively, mixed use places with a
unique sense of identity—attractive places where people want to linger, to gather, and to return
over and over. It is precisely these kinds of walkable places that are essential to the success of
smart growth development strategies.
Overall, the buffer between the parking lot and the street should be no less than 15 feet wide—
this liberal width should help to encourage the placement of parking lots behind buildings versus
along the street.
Landscaping not only provides shade on hot days, absorbs carbon dioxide, and reduces
pollutants emitted by vehicles as they sit in the sun, but also breaks up the visual impact,
making the parking lot feel smaller and less overwhelming.

The paving over of the American landscape is clearly unsustainable, consuming land and
resources and creating huge volumes of stormwater runoff that tax the capacity of sewer
systems and degrade water quality in streams and other waterways. Local jurisdictions and
developers alike should determine ways in which they can provide the necessary parking, while
minimizing the amount of acreage that is converted to parking.
Local planners need to take a closer look at the regulations that govern parking design to
enable and encourage innovation.

RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission (PC) had "review the parking regulations" on their 2016 work plan.
The PC has taken a closer look at our regulations and many other communities both within state
and out of state. The PC has studied parking management and strategies and watched
webinars on the same. The PC has overhauled the Fraser parking regulations to enable and
encourage innovation in an attempt to improve the quality and character of the community and
build a healthier economy. Thank you to the PC for all their hard work and effort! Staff is
recommending approval of the ordinance to incorporate the said changes into the Fraser
Municipal Code.

Sec. 16-8-50. - Off-street parking.
Purpose. The purpose of these regulations is to:
• allow flexibility in addressing vehicle parking, loading, transportation and access
demands of various land uses in different areas of Town;
• provide enough on-site parking to accommodate the majority of traffic generated
by the range of uses which might locate at a site over time;
• present a menu of strategies to solve parking challenges rather than strict
parking space requirements;
• maintain and enhance a safe and efficient transportation system that is
consistent with environmental goals and clean air;
• ensure that off-street parking, loading, and access demands associated with new
development will be met without adversely affecting other nearby land uses and
surrounding neighborhoods.
2. All uses in the Town shall be required to provide for minimum off-street parking as
set forth in this Chapter.
3. Parking management is often the best solution to parking challenges. Listed
below are several policies and programs that may result in a reduction in the
number of parking spaces required and a more efficient use of parking resources.
The Town may consider such proposals on a case-by-case basis.
4. For parking lots with less than ten (10) parking spaces, all spaces shall measure at
least ten (10) feet by twenty (20) feet except for required handicapped spaces.
5. For parking lots with ten (10) or more parking spaces, eighty percent (80%) of the
required spaces shall be at least ten (10) feet by twenty (20) feet, while the
remainder of the spaces may be reduced in size to nine (9) feet by eighteen (18)
feet, except for required handicapped spaces.
6. All parking lots shall be provided with proper ingress and egress. All entrance and
parking lot drive lanes shall be a minimum of twenty-four (24) feet wide allowing for
two-way traffic. Where angle parking and/or one-way drive lanes are proposed, the
Town may consider such proposals on a case-by-case basis.
7. All parking areas and driveways shall be paved with either asphalt, concrete or other
acceptable hard surface material meeting the Design Criteria and Construction
Standards (Chapter 14, Fraser Municipal Code.) except for contingency -based
overflow parking discussed below.
8. All improvements made to the parking lot, driveways and access roads, including
signage, lighting, striping and all other improvements, shall be maintained in a safe
manner. Maintenance shall include repairing of potholes and resurfacing and

parking space requirement for the listed use that is deemed most similar to the
proposed use. The Town Planner is authorized to establish the minimum off-
street parking requirement by reference to standard parking resources published
by American Planning Association, based on local or national best practices or
based on a parking demand study prepared by a traffic engineer.
11. In the Business Zone and in any Mixed Use and Commercial Planning Areas with
a Planned Development District (PDD), the utilization of joint parking facilities to
minimize the proliferation of parking areas is encouraged. The Town may reduce
the number of required spaces by up to twenty percent (20%) when parking is
provided in common for more than one (1) business.
12. The Town may allow on -street parking to satisfy the minimum off-street parking
requirements in the older sections of the Business District (herein defined as the
entire Business District adjacent to the US 40 Corridor from County Road 8 to
County Road 804, including Park Avenue, Eastom Avenue, N. Doc Susie Avenue,
Fraser Avenue, Eisenhower Drive, Byers Avenue, Railroad Avenue and Mill
Avenue) in an effort to encourage infill and redevelopment opportunities. The
Town may allow on -street parking to satisfy the minimum off-street parking
requirements in a PDD in an effort to allow greater flexibility and innovations in
development and site design. A detailed parking plan shall accompany the
development permit application, and the parking shall be allocated and located in
proportion and in relation to the proposed land use. Additional right-of-way width
may be required by the Town to accommodate for on -street parking.
13. The Town may allow off-site parking within 500 feet of the front entry to the
building to satisfy the minimum off-street parking requirements. A written
agreement governing each affected property and providing for such off-site
parking shall be approved by the Town of Fraser and recorded with the Grand
County Clerk and Recorder.
14. The Town may require the applicant to develop a contingency -based overflow
parking plan to manage and accommodate guests and occasional peak parking
demands. Overflow parking areas are not required to be hard surfaced. Alternate
surfacing materials may be considered.
15. The Town may allow a reduction in commercial off-street parking requirements
based on proximity to public transportation. The maximum reduction in the number
of parking spaces shall be no more than 10% percent of the total required spaces.
Proximity to public transportation is defined as being within 250 feet of a
transportation corridor (herein defined as the US 40 Corridor).
16. Convenient, accessible and functional snow storage areas shall be provided for
parking areas equivalent to 33% of the total drive and parking areas.
17. Handicapped parking spaces shall be provided in accordance with federal and state
law.
18. Off-street loading areas shall be required so that vehicles using such loading areas
can maneuver safely and conveniently to and from a public right-of-way and
complete loading and unloading operations without obstructing or interfering with any
public or private right-of-way, parking space or driveway. These regulations shall
apply to those nonresidential land uses which require that goods, merchandise or
equipment be routinely delivered to or shipped from that land use. Required off-
street loading spaces shall be provided on the same lot as the use served and shall
be surfaced and maintained in a manner consistent with the off-street parking areas
for the same use. Off-street loading spaces shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet wide
and thirty-five (35) feet in length and shall be designated solely for loading purposes.
19. All parking lots and commercial storage and service areas shall be screened from
adjacent residential property by the use of landscaping, berming, fences or a
combination of landscaping and other structural features approved by the Planning
Commission.
20. Parking lot perimeter landscaping shall be required for parking lots with ten (10) or
more parking spaces to minimize the visual impact of large paved surfaces.
Pedestrian access to sidewalks and buildings should be considered in the design of
the landscaped areas and islands. Parking areas adjoining a street shall provide a
landscape buffer between the street right-of-way and parking area. Screening
materials may include a combination of plant materials (trees, shrubs and ground
cover), earth berms, walls or fences, raised planters or other screening devices
which meet the intent of this requirement. Parking lot perimeter landscaping plant
materials shall include one (1) tree and two (2) shrubs for every twenty (20) feet of
parking lot frontage. Trees and shrubs need not be planted in a linear, spaced
manner, but may be grouped together where appropriate.
21. Parking lot interior landscaping shall be required for parking lots with twenty (20) or
more parking spaces to minimize the visual impact of large paved surfaces. The
intent of the landscaped islands is to provide a measure of aesthetics to the parking
areas without seriously inhibiting snow plowing and storage. One (1) tree and two (2)
shrubs shall be provided for every ten (10) parking spaces or fraction thereof.

Lu
I am expressing interest/applying for a position in the new EDAC for Fraser. As you are likely aware Debbie
and I have lived in the Valley for five years, purchased property in Fraser three years ago and moved into our
Fraser home August 2014.
We have integrated into the community with enthusiasm and continually look for ways to contribute. Based
on my background I believe this is an ideal way for me to further contribute to the town we now call home.
While I am currently or temporarily retired, I spent 38 years as a retirement program consulting actuary to a
wide range of companies from small one person organizations to large fortune 500 companies as large as and
including Delta Airlines. My career included starting my own consulting form and growing it to a five person
firm with $1.4 million in revenues.
I sold that firm and retired in 2014. We are currently working to start a new company here in the valley, a micro
distillery. We have been working on this project for several months and in doing so I have learned much about
the issues and challenges associated with starting a business in our area.
If the Board finds my past and current experience appropriate to serve on this committee, I would find it one
more way to serve and integrate into our community.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely
Barry Young

I am interested in participating as a member of the Public Art Committee.
Currently, I am the Art teacher at East Grand Middle School. I have taught
Art for 13 years and have a Masters of Education.
I received my BA in Fine Arts- Painting from the University of Kansas.
I also create art for personal enjoyment and professionally. I really enjoy
painting large scale murals.
Finally, I started Studio 564, a paint and sip business in Fraser. It's a lot of
fun helping kids and adults reach their painting potential.

To the Esteemed Town Board of Fraser -
I would like to throw my hat in the ring for a position on the Public Art Committee of
Fraser.
I feel I am most qualified to occupy one of the seven seats available because I love
Fraser! Born and raised in Fraser, I truly appreciate all that is unique and special to our
town. Life in such a beautiful area, loaded with 'larger than life' personalities, is
nuanced. I not only understand this, I appreciate this, and so I feel this is a required
asset to sit on any committee for Fraser.
As for the art component, I have an undergraduate degree in Media Arts and
Animation from the Art Institute of Colorado. I structured my undergraduate studies to
have a heavy focus on art history, drawing, and painting. I later earned my masters'
degree in Architecture from the University of Colorado. My professional career has
focused on architecture, however, I currently work for New Mountain Design- a design
firm which specializes in kitchen, bath, and furniture design. My life's path is evidence of
my passion for art and design, which hopefully qualifies me for a position on the Public
Art Committee.
I already have a relationship with Fraser in the art/ design realm. My friend, Tim
Hodsdon, and myself donated the design of, and fabrication oversight for, the
Goranson Station Bus Shelter. I am also currently working with Allen Nordin on the design
for relocating Fraser's memorial flagpoles.
I have great energy for, and much excitement about, showcasing Fraser's appreciation
for the creative and uncommon through public art displays. I feel we have so many
talented locals that need a platform, and opportunity to share their talents. I would
greatly appreciate and love the opportunity to be part of the Public Art movement in
the Town of Fraser.
Thank you for your consideration, and all the best,

Dear Ms. Berger,
Good Day!
I am writing to express interest in serving on the Town of Fraser Public Art Committee. I have
been a full time resident of the Fraser Recreation District community, Winter Park Ranch, since
2012.
I would be pleased to submit a bio for further review if the Town wishes. In brief, I have been a
Landscape Architect for 34 years and am licensed to practice in two states. Part of my
experience has been planning for siting of sculpture in private and public landscapes.
My additional experiences include photography, painting, leaded glass, furniture design, jewelry
and sculpture. My sculpture background extends back to the early 1980's when I worked in a
bronze casting foundry. I have participated in nearly 40 invitational and juried exhibits with first
place and best of show awards, and several sculptures have been selected into public art
programs.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Ms. Berger,
I would like to offer my enthusiasm to serve on Fraser's Public Art Committee. My qualifications
include serving as Director of Fraser's (and indeed the whole Fraser Valley's) only museum,
Cozens Ranch Museum, for the past 5 years. Under my guidance, Cozens Ranch Museum is
not only a history house museum, but a community center bringing arts, culture and heritage
programs to the citizens of Fraser and beyond.
In my time at the museum, I have worked hard to promote and include the arts and local artists.
Some of my art -related accomplishments include:
1) From its inception 4 years ago, I have served as a board member of the Grand Creatives. I
am still treasurer of that group, led by DiAnn Butler of Grand Co Economic Development.
2) Supported and participated in First Friday Art Walks that included galleries and the one
museum in Winter Park and Fraser.
3) Created a Museum Gift Shop and display venue that features works by local artists.
4) Worked closely with the Town of Fraser to create outdoor signage to promote the museum.
These beautiful new signs might even seem like `public art works.' The signage project is
unveiling at the museum on June 22, 2016
5) This year, the museum is hosting Art Out of Thin Air, the large community show & sale that
previously has been on display at Pole Creek Clubhouse. The show opens on July 1, 2016.
All of these activities, and more, have helped me create positive relations with local artists. In
the Denver Metro area I have worked with literally hundreds of artists in diverse, multi -media
and multi -cultural art shows, as curator at Foothills Art Center and Museo de las Americas
(Latino arts), and having served on a board at the Denver Art Museum.
It would be an honor to bring my knowledge and enthusiasm for the arts to help the Town of
Fraser grow its Public Art profile. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss my interest in Fraser's
Public Art Committee. I look forward to hearing about the next step in the process.

I have lived at 116 CR 522E in Tabernash for the past 8 years, so I am within the Fraser Recreation District. I
have a degree in Art Education and I participate in art & craft shows in Winter Park and Fraser, as well as in
Denver.
I would love to be a part of the advisory committee that will shape the future public art endeavors in the Fraser
Valley.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Laura Veenstra

Dear Lu Berger,
Hello, my name is Shelley Madsen; art educator at Fraser Valley Elementary School and
member of our great community and town of Fraser, Colorado. I am inquiring about
becoming a member of the Public Art Committee (PAC) of the Town of Fraser. I was
thrilled to hear about the interest and commitment that the town is taking on
enhancing the overall aesthetic quality of our community.
I come to this committee with a variety of skills and job history. I have a Bachelor of
Fine Arts (BFA) from Shepherd University, I am a Licensed Massage Therapist, and now
have found my true passion in life, teaching art to children.
I think my involvement with students, parents, and the school offer a great connection
to be a valuable member of the PAC.
I hope my commitment to the town and my love of art and children is evident as we
begin the final phase of installing a mosaic at the Old School House Park. Students
volunteered last summer making, glazing and arranging tiles to create a mosaic
inspired by our landscape including the Continental Divide and the Fraser River. I would
love to be a part of similar projects in the future as well as involve local artist and create
a platform for community input and ideas.
Let's face it; we live here because the landscape is beautiful. I am excited about
elevating our already beautiful town into a unique and aesthetically pleasing
environment for residence and visitors.
Thank you very much for considering my request. I look forward to hearing and
hopefully working with you.
Smiles,
Shelley Madsen

BOARD TRUSTEES OF THE
TOWN OF FRASER, COLORADO
BY:
Mayor
ATTEST:
Town Clerk
MEMO TO: Mayor Vandernail and the Board of Trustees
FROM: Allen Nordin, CWP, Public Works Director
DATE: June 8, 2016
SUBJECT: Asphalt and Concrete Repairs
MATTER BEFORE BOARD:
Approval of expenditures for repair work associated with failed sections of roadways and
damaged sidewalks and curb and gutter(C&G) in various locations throughout Town.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of expenditures from the General Fund in the amount of not -to -exceed $40,000 for the
purpose of repairing and/or replacing asphalt and concrete.
BACKGROUND:
Over time, asphalt streets, concrete sidewalks, curb and valley/cross pans degrade due to
exposure to environmental conditions, wear and tear from daily impacts of vehicles, and snow
management impacts.
Many of the proposed asphalt repairs are pot holes that have been maintained over time with
temporary patch materials and are now failing to the point where the old asphalt material needs
to be removed and replaced with newly compacted sub base material and new asphalt hot mix.
Most of the repair areas will require a contractor to perform the work using specialized
equipment.
The failed areas of concrete sidewalks and curb are generally the result of impacts from our
snow removal operations. Snow plowing and cutting of ice pack with heavy equipment
invariably impacts the concrete and occasionally breaks away portions of this infrastructure.
There are additional impacts to the concrete valley and cross pans and this is generally the
result of the application of traction sand (salt/sand mixture) to the roadways during the winter
months. The salt has corrosive characteristics which over time attack the surface of the
concrete.

Each year staff identifies areas throughout town that are in need of repair and replacement to be
included in the following year's maintenance plan and budget. While not all repairs can be
addressed each year, our goal is to keep the repairs to a manageable level while creating
minimal impacts to the traveling and walking public.
Consequences associated with not maintaining our asphalt and concrete streets and sidewalks
will result in an accelerated deterioration of this infrastructure while portraying to citizens and
visitors of the Town of Fraser, the impression that the Town does not take pride in its overall
visual appearance to the community.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve expenditures;
2. Defer expenditures, continue with patching using operational expenditures.
RECOMMENDATION:
Motion to approve Resolution No. 2016-06-05 authorizing the expenditure of not -to -exceed
$40,000 for Town owned asphalt and concrete surfacing.
