Re: Purchase of Stanley & Simpkins Investments, LLC Property Dear Mayor Kudron, Mayor Pro-Tem Landy, and Trustees Southway, Bruton, Calvin-Braley, Arntson, and Bjorkman: Please accept the following comments submitted on behalf of our clients Tom and Kathy Weydert, who reside at 811 Tallaqua Drive, Grand Lake, CO 80447, and have lived in Grand Lake for over 34 years, and Mike and Janice Pryor, who reside at 7304 S. Robb Street, Littleton, CO 80127 and own a home located at 452 Columbine Drive, Grand Lake, CO 80447, which shares its eastern border with the Stanley & Simpkins Investments, LLC property (the “Stanley Property”).

For a municipality of its size (471 residents as of the 2010 U.S. Census), the Town of Grand Lake’s proposed purchase of the 21-acre Stanley Property at a cost of $1,250,000 is a massive commitment of taxpayer dollars that will strain the Town’s budget for many years to come. Even more concerning is the fact that the Town is proposing to use its beloved Town Center1 as collateral for $1.565 million in debt incurred through the issuance of Certificates of Participation (“COPs”). Furthermore, there has been no consideration given to how the Town will fund the costs that the Town will be forced to incur to develop and make use of the Stanley Property. A decision of this magnitude – which would place the Town’s economic future and vitality at risk in exchange for an undevelopable property whose future use has not even been determined yet – ought to have received full, transparent, and thorough public scrutiny and debate as required by law.

1 The Town Center is the only venue for conferences, meeting, and workshops in the Town and serves as the hub for local community activity.

In this case, however, the record reflects that the public was not properly informed about the purchase of the Stanley Property until after the Board had already predetermined the outcome. Serious questions about the wisdom of this project have never been addressed by the Board or answered to the public’s satisfaction. Indeed, the official record shows that as of this writing the Board has spent just over one and a half hours discussing the merits of the purchase of the Stanley Property, all but 25 minutes in closed executive session. Risking the Town’s economic future simply to purchase 21 acres of vacant land is fiscally irresponsible, particularly in light of the fact that the Town has failed to disclose how the land will be used or could generate the necessary revenue to repay this substantial debt. If the Town defaults on the COPs, the lender will assume control over the Town Center for no less than 10 years beyond the proposed maturity date (e.g. 2045).2 The financial risk is particularly grave for the Town because its estimated financial reserves dropped by more than 30% in the last fiscal year, from $1,932, 884 to $1,203.033.3

Our clients, echoing many residents of the Town of Grand Lake (the “Town”) and

surrounding Grand County who have voiced opposition to the project, respectfully request that you vote against Ordinance 01-2021 at your meeting scheduled for Monday evening, January 11, 2021. At a minimum, the Town of Grand Lake Board of Trustees (the “Board”) should defer making a decision about Ordinance 01-2021 until full and complete information about the project has been disclosed in a timely manner, the items identified in this letter and other public comments have been addressed, and the public has had a meaningful opportunity to consider any and all newly-disclosed information as requested by the community and provided public input and comments for the Board’s consideration.

I. The Town and Board Violated the Open Meetings Law and Deprived the Public of its

Right to Participation in Government Proceedings

The intent of the Open Meetings Law (“OML”) is to provide public access to a broad range of meetings at which public business is considered. Bd. of County Comm'rs v. Costilla County Conservancy Dist., 88 P.3d 1188 (Colo. 2004). The provisions of the OML are to be interpreted broadly to further the intent that citizens be given a greater opportunity to become fully informed on issues of public importance so that meaningful participation in the decision-making process may be achieved. Cole v. State, 673 P.2d 345 (Colo. 1983). The OML “creates a legally protected interest on behalf of Colorado citizens to have public business conducted openly in conformity with the statutory provisions.” Weisfield v. City of Arvada, 361 P.3d 1069, 1073 (Colo. App. 2015). Lastly, executive sessions not “convened properly” are “open meetings subject to the public disclosure requirements of the Open Meetings Law.” Gumina v. City of Sterling, 119 P.3d 527, 530 (Colo. App. 2004). Official records demonstrate that the Town and

ALPERN MYERS STUART LLC Town of Grand Lake Board of Trustees Re: Purchase of Stanley & Simpkins Property January 11, 2021 Page 3 of 11 Board have repeatedly violated the OML in pursuing the purchase of the Stanley Property, as shown below.

August 10, 2020 Board Meeting

As far as the public has been able to determine, the Board first learned of a proposal to purchase the Stanley Property on August 10, 2020. The Board’s August 10, 2020 meeting agenda included an item identified as “Executive Session to discuss; Purchase, Lease, Acquisition, Transfer, or sale of Real, Personal or Other Property Interest Under C.R.S. Section 24-6-402(4)(a).”4 Before entering into executive session, Mayor Kudron told the Board that the “Town Manager has asked that he has some time to be able to speak to us regarding something that falls under this statute.”5

While it is true that a municipal board may use executive session to direct confidential real estate negotiations, mere citation to the statute is not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the OML. COLO. REV. STAT. § 24-6-402(4) (entry into executive session is permitted “upon announcement by the local public body to the public of the topic for discussion in the executive session, including specific citation to this subsection (4) authorizing the body to meet in an executive session and identification of the particular matter to be discussed in as much detail as possible without compromising the purpose for which the executive session is authorized . . . .” (emphases added)). Guy v. Whitsitt, No. 19CA0125, 2020 COA 93, ¶ 27 (Colo. App. 2020). In Whitsitt, a town council’s “failure to provide any information beyond the statutory citation authorizing an executive session . . . did not comply with the statutory requirement” and entitled the plaintiff to “the recordings and minutes of the executive session . . . involving the matters not properly noticed.” Id. at ¶ 33.

In this case, the public could not have known that the Board was considering

purchasing the Stanley Property based on the August 10 public meeting notice. There were no pertinent materials included in the Board packet. Nonetheless, the Board entered into executive session and discussed these matters for 38 minutes.

August 26-27, 2020 Board Retreat

The public has now learned that the Board engaged in further policymaking discussions concerning the Stanley Property at a retreat held on August 26-27, 2020. Mayor Kudron’s January 7, 2021 letter describes a wide-ranging discussion of issues related to property acquisition that include precisely the types of topics that Colorado law requires to be discussed in

ALPERN MYERS STUART LLC Town of Grand Lake Board of Trustees Re: Purchase of Stanley & Simpkins Property January 11, 2021 Page 4 of 11 public.6 The Town’s website contains no proper public notice for the Board retreat and the Board’s retreat packet is not included on the website. The public did not have the opportunity to attend the Board retreat, listen to matters being discussed, or provide input or comment. There is no indication that the Board properly exercised its right to enter into any executive session. And yet, despite the Board’s total failure to comply with the Open Meetings Law with respect to the retreat, Mayor Kudron admits that the Board made a decision: “we directed the staff to conduct inquiries.” After the Board retreat, there was still no way that any member of the public could have known that the purchase of the Stanley Property was on the table. August 28, 2020 Board Meeting

At its August 24, 2020 meeting, the Board unanimously voted to establish the Grand Lake Municipal Lands Advisory Committee.7 The first meeting of the Committee was to be held on September 1, 2020 with an agenda “to set direction and understanding as to the expected outcomes and solutions that can be provided by the committee” and “solve our public lands use needs.” The Town website provides no further information about the Committee – there are no agendas, minutes, or recordings of such meetings posted. The Stanley Property purchase is exactly the type of project that should have been considered by the Committee, and yet there is no indication that the Stanley Property was discussed by the Committee, that agendas were posted and minutes taken, or even any evidence that the Committee ever convened at all. September 14, 2020 Board Meeting

The agenda for the Board’s September 14, 2020 meeting similarly violated the Open Meetings Law. The agenda includes the item: “Executive Session - Pursuant to C.R.S. 24-6-402(4)(e)(1) to determine positions relative to matters that may be subject to negotiations; develop strategy for negotiations; and instruct negotiators.”8 Once again, the specific property under consideration was not identified by the agenda, and no other information about the item was included in the Board packet. Before entering into executive session, Mayor Kudron stated that the Board will discuss something “related to the language of the statute.”9 The Board met in executive session for 30 minutes before adjourning. Mayor Kudron’s January 7 letter states that “Town staff received direction to negotiate within parameters set by the Board of Trustees”10 in

ALPERN MYERS STUART LLC Town of Grand Lake Board of Trustees Re: Purchase of Stanley & Simpkins Property January 11, 2021 Page 5 of 11 executive session, but no formal discussion or vote took place in public. Therefore, after the September 14 meeting there was still no way for any member of the public to know that the Town was actively negotiating to purchase the Stanley Property.

Identifying the specific property under consideration by the Board would not have

compromised the purpose of the executive session because the Town Manager had already entered into negotiations with the Seller. Moreover, it is well known within Grand County that the Stanley Property has been for sale for many years. According to the MLS, the Stanley Property has been listed for sale at $1.3 million for 516 days, likely due to concerns about lack of ingress-egress access and a secure water supply. Instead, it appears that the Town’s failure to identify the Stanley Property in the agenda was intended to prevent the public from learning about the proposed purchase. In the absence of a specific reference to the Property, the cursory citation to the OML provided by the Board does not satisfy the requirement for entering into executive session and the public is entitled to review the recordings and other records in the Town’s possession regarding these improperly noticed sessions.

September 28, 2020 Board Meeting The Board finally discussed the Stanley Property in public at its September 28, 2020 meeting. However, the meeting agenda was not published until the Friday before the Monday meeting itself. The agenda lists two items relevant to this matter: “L. Consideration of Approval of Contract with Stifel” and “M. Consideration of Approval of a Contract for Purchase of Land.”11 The agenda itself does not identify the Stanley Property by name, in violation of the Open Meetings Law, even though the contracts and two memos from the Town Manager recommending approval were included in the Board’s packet.

Even though the timing of the notice may have complied with the minimum standards set by state law (i.e., 24 hour notice), the Board was well aware that the country was in the midst of a global pandemic. Many of the members of the public and property owners likely to be affected do not reside full-time in the area and had no reason to routinely review public notices because there had been no other public statement regarding the proposed acquisition of the Stanley Property. Moreover, this meeting agenda was the first public announcement of the Town’s intent to borrow $1.565 million secured by the Town Center in order to fund the purchase. The Board made no effort to inform the citizenry about the proposal through the media or other means. Unsurprisingly, few members of the public chose to attend the September 28 meeting.

The official record demonstrates that the Board spent less than 25 minutes discussing the

matter in public before voting to authorize the Mayor to sign the contracts. Spending less than a half-hour in public considering the merits of purchasing the vacant Stanley Property and associated water rights, as well as the public debt financing of the project (including several minutes regarding how this financing would allow the Town to pay off a separate, unrelated plot

ALPERN MYERS STUART LLC Town of Grand Lake Board of Trustees Re: Purchase of Stanley & Simpkins Property January 11, 2021 Page 6 of 11 of land), was patently inadequate and unreasonable.12 No one from the public was prepared or present to speak in opposition or provide any citizen input whatsoever. The public comment portion of this discussion lasted less than one minute.13

Town Manager Crone acknowledged that, in terms of purchasing this piece of property,

the Board is “kinda looking at things a little bit differently than we have in the past, and some of that is because of the opportunity.”14 Mr. Crone began his presentation by stating he had already negotiated all the terms of the contract with Mr. Stanley and spent most of his time simply suggesting possible uses for the property. There was no public discussion of the value of the non-monetary benefits being conferred upon the Seller, alternative properties considered, alternative funding methods, the wisdom of using the Town Center as collateral, why existing municipal lands were not sufficient for the Town’s needs, or even the validity of the Town Manager’s claim that if the Town did not act quickly, it would lose the Stanley Property to another buyer. There was no public discussion of these matters because Mr. Crone and the Board had already decided to purchase the property, and the Board’s public vote was a mere formality intended to “rubber-stamp” the decision already made.

The Open Meetings Law, COLO. REV. STAT. §§ 24-6-401 et seq., recognizes that the public has a strong interest in ensuring that a local public body such as the Board follows a transparent public process and does not make policy decisions in secret. According to the OML, “[n]o resolution, rule, regulation, ordinance, or formal action of a state or local public body shall be valid unless taken or made at a meeting that meets the requirements of subsection (2) of this section.” COLO. REV. STAT. § 24-06-401(8) (emphasis supplied). Local public bodies must deliberate and make decisions in a forum that is open and accessible to the public. The Colorado Supreme Court has stated that:

[W]hen the majority of the public body's work is done outside the public eye, the public is “deprived of the discussions, the motivations, the policy arguments and other considerations which led to the discretion exercised by the Board.” Bagby v. School Dist. No. 1, 528 P.2d 1299, 1302 (1974). Accordingly, the court stated that the OML's “prohibition against making final policy decisions or taking formal action in other than a public meeting is not meant to permit ‘rubber stamping’ previously decided issues.” Id.

The Board’s failure to engage in substantive debate about the pros and cons of the purchase of the Stanley Property using the Town Center as collateral suggests that minds had already been made up based on discussions that had occurred illegally in executive session. The September 28, 2020 meeting minutes did not contain any summary of the Board’s discussion and were not even released to the public until the November 23, 2020 meeting, further hindering the public’s ability to learn what the Board had decided to do. By that time, the East Troublesome fire had consumed the community’s attention, the bureaucratic machinery was in moving forward, and the acquisition of the Stanley Property was two months nearer to closing. It was not until December 2020 that word of the proposed acquisition of the Stanley Property began to spread through the community. Even after the Board was made aware that many residents were opposed to this project, the Town initially resisted calls for a public hearing in the matter. Two opposition letters were included in the Board’s December 14, 2020 workshop packet,15 and three people spoke in opposition to the purchase of the Stanley Property at the meeting

The record clearly shows that the Town consistently sought to avoid public disclosure and scrutiny of the Stanley Property acquisition. In an e-mail dated August 11, 2020, Town Manager John Crone admitted that “[w]e would prefer not to go to a vote,” without specifically identify for whom he was speaking.16 It is now clear that had the Board notified the public prior to voting to sign the underlying contracts, hundreds of area residents would have sought to voice their objections and opinions. Indeed, now that the proposed purchase of the Stanley Property has been made public, 325 citizens have signed a petition opposing the Town’s actions in the last week alone.17 For these reasons, the public process followed by the Board thus far violates the Open Meetings Law and, at a minimum, the Board should defer making a decision on the project until the public has had a full and fair opportunity to understand the terms and voice their opinions in open session.

II. To Satisfy Its Fiduciary Duties, The Board Must Fully Investigate Serious Questions

About the Proposed Purchase of the Stanley Property That Have Never Been Addressed

According to the Colorado Constitution Article XI, Section 2, “[n]either the state, nor . . . any town . . . shall make any donation or grant to, or in aid of, . . . any corporation or company . . .” The public has many unanswered questions about the value of the Stanley Property and the amount of consideration being paid by the Town. The Town is seeking to purchase a 21-acre parcel of vacant land and certain water rights from the Seller, and the purchase price is identified

ALPERN MYERS STUART LLC Town of Grand Lake Board of Trustees Re: Purchase of Stanley & Simpkins Property January 11, 2021 Page 8 of 11 as $1.25 million, with $1.2 million allocated for the real property and $50,000 allocated for the water rights. We believe that this is an inflated value for the property and water rights in part because the Stanley Property has reportedly been on the market for approximately 15 years at this price. Furthermore, restrictions on access to the Stanley Property imposed by a consent judgment in the case of Norris v. Gudgel may have further diminished the fair market value of the 21-acre parcel. Consent Judgment, Norris v. Gudgel, 04CV138 (Dist. Ct. Grand County, CO Feb. 4, 2009).

It is notable that the Board agreed to purchase the property for $1.2 million before an appraisal had been ordered. The Town has now received an appraisal of the real property dated January 5, 2021 that values the property at $1.2 million, but this appraisal came months after the parties had already agreed on the purchase price and after Town Planner Kim White sent an e-mail to the appraiser dated November 20, 2020 asking: “We just need to know if it is appraisable to $1.2 mil? or if it is more or less? I think the soonest we can get it done thus far is January 21, and I believe the manger is hoping to get one sooner than that if possible.”18 Moreover, nothing in the public record shows that the Town undertook an objective evaluation of the Stanley water rights based on water availability, priority date, type of use, location use, or potential for change from agricultural to municipal use. Even assuming, however, for the sake of argument only, that the appraisal is correct, neither the Town Board nor any other Town official or agent has made any effort whatsoever to value the other benefits being conferred upon the Seller. The benefits that appear not to have been evaluated by the Board include the following:

(1) Value of the Annexation of 8.98 Acres of Privately Owned Land: As part of this transaction, the Seller is asking for annexation of its adjacent 8.98-acre parcel that many in the public believe is currently undevelopable, or at least under-developable, due to lack of City services (water, wastewater, electric and gas) and access issues related to a lawsuit settled in 2009. A municipality cannot be compelled to annex private property. In an annexation, the municipality has superior bargaining leverage than the owner because the owner is unable to maximize financial profit from the property in the absence of annexation. There is no question that the annexation of the 8.98-acre parcel provides substantial financial benefits to the Seller outside of the $1.25 million that the Town is already obligated to pay for the Property, and yet the Board and staff have apparently made no effort to place a dollar value on these benefits. The Town’s failure to evaluate the benefits of annexation to the Seller is a breach of its fiduciary duties to the taxpayers and represents a potential donation of public benefits to a private individual or corporation in violation of Colorado Constitution Article XI, Section 2. At the very least, the closing must be delayed

18 Open Records Request page 112-17.


until a full accounting of these benefits can be conducted and disclosed to the public.

(2) Value of the Water Tap to the 8.98-Acre Parcel: A water tap for a property within the Town currently costs $6,500. If the property is out of town, the cost of a water tap is $13,000. These benefits to the Seller have not been evaluated by the Board, which has agreed to pay full market value for the real property and water rights at $1.25 million (if the Town’s appraisal is correct, which we do not concede). This means that at a minimum the Town is paying an extra $6,500 for the property (without considering the other unknown and undisclosed benefits discussed in this letter, such as the value of the annexation itself and grant of ingress-egress access and road maintenance responsibility).

For a municipality as small as the Town of Grand Lake, a property purchase valued at $1.25 million represents nearly a third of its annual budget. The Board violated its fiduciary duties to the taxpayers by failing to make any effort whatsoever to place an objective value on the totality of the benefits being provided to the Seller as part of this transaction and spending a total of less than two hours discussing the proposal. Without an objective understanding of the benefits being conveyed, it was not possible for the Board to determine that it was paying fair market value for the land it seeks to purchase. And if further investigation reveals that the value of the benefits conferred is significantly more than the value of the property purchased, then the Town may have violated Colorado Constitution, Article XI, Section 2.

There are many other unanswered questions about the purchase of the Stanley Property

that have been raised by the public but never addressed at a Board meeting, including but not limited to the following (in no particular order):

(1) What is the source of water that will serve the Stanley Property and the adjacent

8.98-acre parcel? (2) What is the intended use of the Stanley Property?

(3) It appears that there is a pond on the Stanley Property, and if so, how will wetlands protections affect the potential future use of the Property?

(4) There appears to be a construction scrap yard on the Stanley Property – has an environmental review been conducted?

(5) How will access be provided to the Stanley Property in light of the consent order in Norris v. Gudgel that prohibits access from the southwest corner of the property?

(6) How will the necessary improvements to the Stanley Property (roads, utilities, infrastructure, construction) be funded by the Town in light of the six-figure increase its annual budget necessary to cover the cost of the purchase?

(7) Why is it necessary for the Town to purchase this parcel of land?


(8) What are the potential impacts of this project on other Town water assets, including the lakes that are the lifeblood of the local tourism economy?

(9) What will happen to the Town Center if the Town defaults on its debt? (10) How does the leasing arrangement affect use of the Town Center by the public?

Furthermore, now that the contract has been signed, the Board should make all of the relevant executive session recordings publicly available so that the community can see what was discussed behind closed doors. There is no longer any compelling need to keep these recordings secret because the contract has already been signed and there are no pending negotiations.

As noted earlier, the official record available to the public indicates that to date the Board

has spent a total of only one hour and thirty-three minutes discussing the purchase of the Stanley Property and bond financing with the use of the Town Center as collateral,19 of which one hour and eight minutes was conducted behind closed doors in executive session. Even if all of the deliberations had occurred in public, it is patently clear that the Board could not possibly have fulfilled its fiduciary duties to the Town by spending less than two hours discussing this massive project that places valuable Town assets at risk. At a minimum, the Board should defer closing on the purchase of the Stanley Property until these questions have been answered and the public has had a meaningful opportunity to provide input to the Board.

III. Conclusion

For the reasons stated above, we respectfully request that the Board vote against Ordinance 01-2021 or at the very least delay a vote until after all of the questions raised in this letter, and by public comments delivered at the January 1, 2021 hearing, are fully investigated and answered and all pertinent information is disclosed to the public.

The Town’s Code of Conduct and Ethics Handbook asserts that its purpose “is to

promote public confidence in the Town government” and “to foster public trust by defining the parameters of honest government.” Town officials are admonished “to always act in a manner that will instill public confidence.” Section 2-5-8 of the Town Code provides that all public hearings shall be conducted “in such a manner so as to enable any person desiring to be heard a reasonable opportunity for the presentation of his views.” Given that one of the Town officials stated during the September 28, 2020 Board meeting that “Right now there is no one over there except for [inaudible], it’s a great service to the Town of Grand Lake to move some of our older, messier facilities outside of the main part of town,” the public and affected landowners should be given a meaningful opportunity to weigh in on the costs and benefits of the proposed purchase of the Stanley Property. The citizens deserve to know that the Board’s decision to spend $1.25

19 As noted above, the Board deliberated for 38 minutes in executive session on August 10, 30 minutes in executive session on September 14, and 25 minutes in open session on September 28. It is unknown how long the Board discussed the Stanley Property at the retreat on August 26-27, which was not properly noticed under the Open Meetings Law in any event.

SUMMARY OF INDICATIVE TERMS ANO CONDITIONS

Town of Grand Lake, Colorado (the "Town" or the "Borrower'').

NBH Bank (the "Bank").

Series 2020, bank-qualified lease purchase.

In an amount up to $1,565,000.

The proceeds from the Lease will be used to acquire land for a new public works facility, repay the Thomasson Park lease, and pay the costs related to the execution of the Lease.

The Town and the Lender will enter into a lease/leaseback financing in connection with the Loan. The Town will retain fee title interest to the Leased Property and will lease this to the Lender pursuant to a Site and Improvement Lease. The Lender will simultaneously lease the Leased Property back to the Town pursuant to an annually renewable Lease Purchase Agreement. The Base Rental payments to be made by the Town to the Lender under the Lease will be subject to annual appropriation by the Board of Trustees.

In the event that the Lease is terminated due to an event of non-appropriation or an event of default, the Lender's sole security will be the Leased Property under the Site Lease. In the event of default, NBH will assume control over the pledged collateral for a period of no less than 10 years beyond the proposed maturity.

The Leased Property under the Site Lease and the Lease will be the Grand Lake Center located at 301 Marina Drive, Grand Lake, Colorado 80447.

December 1, 2035

The lease requires annual principal payments resulting in approximately level debt service through the term, beginning December 1, 2021 and roughly equal to the scheduled presented by Stifel in the RFP.

Fixed through maturity. The tax exempt, bank qualified rate is calculated as the 10 Year Treasury+ 2.00%, currently 2.85%. This rate is locked through December 31, 2020. If the transaction fails to close by the end of the rate lock period, the rate will reset based on the 10 Year Treasury at the time.

Interest will be due semiannually on each 6/1 and 12/1 beginning 6/1/2021 and will be computed as twelve 30 day months and a 360 day year.

If the Lease becomes taxable as a result of actions of the Town, the rate will increase to the fixed rate referenced above divided by 0. 79%.

Hello Jill,

I don't think it matters which type of appraisal. It is for our records at the Town. We just need to

know if it is appraisable to $1.2mil? or if it is more or less? I think the soonest we can get it done

thus far is January 215\ and I believe that the manager is hoping to get one sooner than that, if

possible.

Thank you,

Kim,

I understand that you have worked as bond counsel for the Town in the past. It looks

like we could use your services again. The Town is starting negotiations to purchase a

parcel of land in the near future. The asking price of the parcel is approximately $1.3

million. We also have a parcel that we have been paying interest only on for several

years. The cost of this parcel is approximately $200,000.

We need help acquiring financing for these two properties and need your advice. We

would prefer not to go to a vote (would COPs work in this scenario?). Could we set up

a meeting sometime to discuss how the Town should proceed? Let me know what

would work for you .

Thanks,

TOWN OF GRAND LAKE 2020 BUDGET MESSAGE

The proposed 2020 budget process for the Town of Grand Lake, Colorado was impacted by management transition. Town Manager transition with retirement of Jim White at the end of June, Interim Greg Clifton July 1 to August 12, Interim Katie Sickles August 14 to November 7 and hired Town Manager John Crone November 1. Public Works Director transition with retirement of Bernie McGinn, internal hire John Zeleznikar and final hire of Keith Everhart July 1. Town Planner Nate Shull’s scheduled resignation and potential new hire in late 2019. The 2020 budget process competed with transitional planning and was challenged by new approaches to allocation of resources. Treasurer Erin Ackerman, employed since 2013, remained steadfast in preparing 2020 budget documents and maneuvering through the transitions.

Events were scheduled during the year 2019 to properly prepare for 2020. A 2020 Vision/Strategic Planning session commenced May 20 and 21 with Aden Hogan as facilitator. Interim Manager Clifton scheduled an August 1, Board of Trustees/Staff Retreat to review the Capital Improvement Plan and outline Board of Trustees Goals and Objectives for 2020. The retreat focused on the Streetscape improvement goals with updates regarding the objectives documented from the May planning meetings. The first 2020 budget draft was provided to the Board of Trustees and staff for a September 16 Budget Session. A second Budget Work Session took place on October 8. A formal Public Hearing on the budget was held on October 28, 2019 at the Board of Trustees Regular Meeting. The Town Board scheduled the budget final approval at its meeting on November 25, 2019.

The 2020 Budget per Fund Estimated Reserves 1/1/2020 Revenue Expenditures Ending

Balance General Fund (Total) $1,932,884 $2,745,847 $3,475,698 $1,203,033 Water Enterprise Fund $1,490,692 $637,441 $617,333 $1,510,800 Marina Enterprise Fund $564,088 $353,900 $399,393 $518,595 Pay-As-You-Throw Enterprise Fund $85,107 $47,200 $38,829 $93,478 Capital Improvement Fund $1,199,076 $1,017,305 $1,935,881 $280,500

TOTAL $5,271,846 $4,801,693 $6,480,154 $3,593,386 The Town’s budget revenues, operations, debt and capital expenditures are explained further in the body of this report per fund. Revenues in all funds are budgeted conservatively. Operational expenses, although conservative, have been updated based on new approaches. Capital improvement expenses are expected to reduce reserves for Streetscape and effectively address public street deferred maintenance. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair representation of the Town’s financial condition in accordance with the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) including Colorado Statutory requirements.

A new approach to personnel management is reflected in the 2020 budget salary and benefit cost within most labor-intensive funds. To facilitate federal and state equal pay for equal work requirements, a personnel system was re-instituted. The manner included documenting job descriptions and providing salary ranges based on level of responsibility. In addition, a consorted effort was undertaken to document benefits for Board approval and update the Personnel Guidelines.

A Capital Improvement Plan was updated for 2020, a five-year projection and future years to forecast and assist in keeping Town infrastructure and facilities current. Town reserves will be decreased by over 1.5

Property Tax revenues for 2020 were calculated on statutory limits resulting in a slight 2% increase. Sales Tax for 2020 are budgeted using sales tax receipts from 2019 with an increase of 18% from

2018. The Town Ordinance regarding all fees is under review to verify that the cost to the Town is charged

appropriately to applicants.

Expenditures Law Enforcement and Dispatch is provided by Grand County Sheriff, an expense in the General

Fund. An April 2020 election is planned for five positions, the Mayor and four Trustees. Hilly Lawn gardening services will be contracted to continue beautification efforts. Almost $60,000 will be paid to area organizations that provide cultural or philanthropic services. Computer hardware upgrades and continued software maintenance is an expense critical to

maintaining secure access for town operations and monitoring nightly rentals. Repairs are planned for the Town Hall ADA access ramp and stairs. The Town continues to partner with the Chamber, providing funds to operate the Visitor Center

and provide Marketing Services. Boardwalk maintenance, tire replacement, bridge staining and roof repairs documented

considerable increases from 2019. The Grand Lake Center has several upgrade needs; however, the Board has allotted a budget

contingent that each item be reviewed by the Board prior to purchase. Although heating system part replacement was costly in 2019, the Honeywell maintenance contract will continue in 2020.

Park expense increased to repair playground equipment and public docks, properly supply restrooms and several landscaping upgrade needs.

Debt Payments continue in 2020 for the Thomasson Park Lease/Purchase. Equipment Lease/Purchases include: 2019 Mower, 2018 Grader and 2015 Loader.

Capital Street improvement is considered a major priority for the town with almost a half a million towards

a Grand Avenue mill overlay from Ellsworth to Highway 34 and contingency budget for the Streetscape project planned on Park Avenue.

Equipment purchases include a wheel loader and equipping the single-axle truck purchased in 2019. Network connectivity for town facilities is planned in 2020. The Town of Grand Lake is a selected Colorado community to participate in Space to Create. The

project is an effort to provide attainable housing within a Creative District. The project is supported by Grand County Economic Development Office, Department of Local Affairs, Orton Foundation, Boettcher Foundation, ArtSpace Consulting and a host of volunteers and entities within the Grand Lake area. Heart & Soul, supported by the Orton Foundation, was a catalyst for positive change that provided a roadmap for Grand Lake to build a brighter future based on what matters by several efforts in 2018 and 2019. From those efforts a marketing, feasibility, community coaching and survey evolved. Based on previous year efforts the Town will begin the pre-development phase in 2020. Grant funds and expenditures are estimated for the first year of a two-year pre-development project.

WATER ENTERPRISE FUND The Water Enterprise Fund is a business enterprise owned and operated by the Town that sets rates and collects fees for the cost of collection, treatment and distribution of potable water to in-town and out-of-town customers.

A water rate study was conducted in 2008. Based upon the recommendations in that study, starting in 2009 service fees were set to increase 6% annually for ten years (initially through 2018) to sustain operations and provide for future capital projects. The Board of Trustees passed a Resolution opting out of the 2015 increase and repeated the opt out in 2017. Both increases were applied at the next fiscal period. The last two years of the study recommended increase will conclude in 2019 and 2020.

SUMMARY The Board of Trustees of the Town of Grand Lake are committed to continuing to serve the citizens with quality service while maintaining a fiscally responsible budget.

Town officials acknowledge the importance of present and future Capital Improvement funding and planning. With new improvement, the Town must also invest in continued facility and property maintenance. Streetscape improvements may be reduced in scope; however incremental projects will continue, including future Greenway improvements for many years to come.

Management will monitor revenues and expenditures to keep within budget parameters. Department budget reviews are held monthly. Public review of financial statements is provided at one or both Board of Trustees monthly regular meetings. All financial information is available at Town Hall, via the Town website or by request.

Through months of transition, Treasurer Erin Ackerman has maintained focus on the 2020 budget preparation. Her dedication to this effort is commendable.

ZIP/Postal Code

Please share why you signed this petition. This explanation will prompt elected officials to take your position more seriously.

BeckyBrentlinger Grand like CO 80447 I apologize for sending two of these but I forgot to mention one of the largest problems ‐the possibility of lowering the lake of Columbine lake, that is simply unacceptable and should never happen this is one of our greatest amenities and to see it drip being drained to feed a trout pond is intolerable. Trout will die every year in a small pond unless they are netted out. It’s not a very well thought out idea, and the possibility of lowering the level of columbine lake is simply unacceptable. At the same time this project would divert several wild animals that stroll through not only Columbine lake but through grand Lake. Have there been any studies done on the impact of the wildlife? If not, that’s necessity that’s been overlooked. Very concerned about that!

Rebecca Brentlinger Grand Lake CO 80447 I am very concerned about many things that are proposed for this property. Wildlife passage, views, noise and light pollution, extreme traffic on our very narrow country roads, I bought this property because it was serene and tranquil, and now it should be exactly the opposite we don’t want the noise, the extra traffic, the trespassing, and the degrading of our views. Not to mention the devaluation of our homes. We would appreciate some transparency and being included in Planning dialogue. Thank you

Bradley D Reed Littleton CO 80123 To halt any further development, adding roads or extending rl there is a public hearing regarding the development of the proposed Stanley property.

Janice Bruton Grand Lake CO 80447 There are other parcels of land to put the shops.Scott Jackson Grand Lake CO 80447 I live along the boundary’s of the Stanley Property. I’ve inquired to the mayor as to the

land purpose intentions and have received nothing but silence Judy Burke Grand Lake CO 80447 The Town of Grand Lake Board of Trustees, Mayor and Town Manager have shown a

complete lack of transparency, accountability, and planning in putting this property under contract.


Janice Pryor Littleton CO 80127 Mayor Kudron and Trustees, Fifteen years ago, my husband Mike and I decided to build a home in Grand Lake because it is a small, quiet community with an abundance of wildlife and nature. We could have easily decided to build in Dillon, Frisco or other larger community, but we loved the small town feel of Grand Lake. Now, the Town of Grand Lake wants to purchase 21 acres behind our home for unnecessary development at an exorbitant cost to taxpayers. We did not choose to live behind a vehicle maintenance facility, trash facility or low‐income housing. There are so many unsettling aspects to the Stanley purchase that the Town of Grand Lake has not addressed to taxpayers and impacted parties. Why was the Stanley property chosen when there are much more economical and suitable areas that won't affect homeowners and wildlife? Have you considered what damage and noise heavy road construction will do to the area and surrounding neighborhoods that would last for years? Not only will the purchase and development ruin the small town feel of Grand Lake, you are ruining everything special we have come to love about our Columbine Lake Community. Please do not proceed with the purchase of the Stanley property.

Becky Brebntlinger Grand Lake CO 80447 Developing this property without proper planning will devalue homes in the CLCC neighborhood, obstruct views, create noise and light pollution, deplete wildlife as it is a significant wildlife home and passageway, encourage trespassing into a PRIVATE community, increase traffic and possibly denigrate our best amenity, the Columbine Lake. If this occurs, with seasonal affordable housing, snowmobile trails, no buffer zone, and no pathway for the wildlife, noise and pollution, there could long lasting and permanent damage to the 2 neighborhood ‐ resulting in constantly being at odds. Instead, if CLCC is including in the planning, a reasonable compromise could be made, preventing hostile environments and constant conflict. .

Hollis Bow Grand Lake 80447 I signed because I live part of the year in Columbine and enjoy all that it offers. Wildlife, beauty, and solitide.

Mike Pryor LITTLETON CO 80127 This purchase of 21 acres for $1.2 mil appears to have minimal input from the town trustees or local populace. The deal mandates the annexation of additional property of the seller.


Jan Shackelford Frisco CO 80443 The Stanley Parcel is a very poor place to develop your proposed uses! Too busy, too visible, too heavily traveled and very disruptive to our quiet, hidden neighborhoods like Columbine and the golf course. Put these facilities out open the boonies! And WHY are you using out tax dollars in this manner on a visible, busy thoroughfare??? Surely you can research a better location and be more transparent!

Sondra Nowowiejski Grand Lake CO 80447 we are concerned with the increased traffic and the changes to the area that will change the feel and look of the area. We feel this agreement was done without any consideration to the residents in this area who have made significant investments in their properties and this build could negatively affect the property value.

LISA MURRAY GRAND LAKE CO 80447 I AGREE WE AS TOWN RESIDENTS NEED TO BE ASKED BEFORE WE PURCHASE THIS ACREAGE. IF WE ARE PURCHASING THIS LAND WE CAN TOGETHER FIND A WAY TO PRESERVE A PRECIOUS RESOURCE SO WE KEEP WHAT IS BEST ABOUT OUR AREA. OUR TOWN CAN WORK WITH COLUMBINE NEIGHBORS TO COME UP WITH PLANS THAT DO NOT INVOLVE HABITAT DESTRUCTION.

Thomas Olsen Grand Lake CO 80447 As I understand it the water rights are not being sold with the property, which could effect the level of Columbine Lake in the future. Also I think they are paying way too much for this property. This is a bad location for a trash transfer station.

Kris Olsen Grand Lake CO 80447 Protect residential property values. And I strongly object to the sneaky actions of the town officials.

Margaret Hoeppner Grand Lake CO 80447 Please do not approve this proposal. There needs to be a public meeting to discuss this as it will negatively impact so many of us. The push to rush this thru is terrible and if approved the area will never be the same. Please help us protect our properties.

Rebecca Ann‐Foss Williams

Grand Lake CO 80447 Too many unknowns and what if's with this proposed sale.

Robert Kmak Grand Lake CO 80447 There needs to be more discussion on why this is happening and what it will do for Grand Lake

Lawrence & Anne Dunn

Grand Lake CO 80447 We strongly oppose the acquisition of this land for the impact on a residential area. Increased traffic and no enviromental studies have been conducted or presented. We need to keep this area free from the City's development. Period.

Jackie Smutz Arvada CO 80007 Concerns about how the land will be used. I would reconsider if specifics were provided.

Sara Grand Lake CO 80447 The quality of life in Grand Lake and surrounding neighborhoods depends upon managing growth responsibly. The growth and uses proposed for the Stanley parcel could degrade quality of life for Columbine Lake and neighboring residents.

John P Sack Loveland CO 80537 This is a regular route for Elk to travel to and from RMNP. This is a residential area not a commercial area or a Trash Dump.

Carol Larson Grand Lake CO 80447 Transparency and public input is always a good idea!Gerald Seiden Grand Lake CO 80447 Discussion on topic has to be more transparent. Most of property owners are not

permanent residents who are to be effected by this plan. There input is essential.

Richard Laufenberg Grand Lake CO 80447 The impact on Columbine Lake neighborhood.Scott Jackson Grand Lake CO 80447 I live along Kinnikinnick and am very suspicious regarding the intended use and livid

that it is being kept quiet and there hasn’t been a public discussion. James Guzik Grand Lake CO 80447 It infringes on our single family development. Our Columbine HOA ave been here for 50

years +, why damage our area worse than the fire. Stop please!Marc Auville Arvada CO 80004 Mayor, this property butts up against our lots as close as 20 feet, literally. Depending

on how the property is zoned, this could impact our quality of life which we have cherished since buying in 1999. You are new to this community. Get to know us and strike the correct balance, keeping in mind to protect our life, liberty and property. Thanks.

Edward Patton Grand Lake CO 80446 There as little to no discussion publicly about the proposed use or impacts to the area.

DAVID CLAYTON GRAND LAKE CO 80447 I FEAR THIS PROPSAL WILL HAVE A NEGAIVE AFFECT ON THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF COLUMBINE LAKE. I THINK THIS WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE AFFECT ON OUR LIFE STYLE!! I THNK IT WILL BE A DETREMENT TO THE AREA!


chris houston TX 77019 As a home owner in Columbine Lake, I would like more information regarding the proposed use of the 21 acre Stanley parcel.

Harriet Palmer‐Willis Grand Lake CO 80447 I am concerned that a significant change in or near our neighborhood in light of the recent wildfire activity could exacerbate negative impact (e.g. increase in traffic, need for additional services, ) before time allows accurate evaluation of impact of such environmental changes. Please delay any permanent decisions until in‐depth study of impact may be realized

Loree Trout Grand Lake CO 80447 Our cabin is on the eastern edge of CCLC and it would ruin the view for us and our neighbors, not to mention the noise of construction traffic or just more dense population in a confined area. Wildlife use that area as a cut through to get to Columbine and I would hate to have them detour away from Columbine. Seeing the animals in our yard are a big reason we bought in Columbine back in 1974 and we want to keep it that way, quiet and peaceful.

Scott DeMers Grand Lake CO 80447 My view is literally directly of this parcel of land. We purchased this property for the scenic beauty and are very concerned that the very thing that prompted our purchase is going away. We respectfully signed ask that this be postponed and assurances given to the very reason we live in Grand Lake. Please take care of your constituents. Thank you.

Scott Hutton Grand Lake CO 80447 uncertaincy of planMike Ryan Grand Lake CO 80447 my home borders the Stanley property. I do NOT want to see the value of my home

decrease or quality of life in my neighborhood go down from construction on this property.

Aggie Hill Grand Lake CO 80447 Public and thorough planning process has been completed.

Fred koesel Grand lake CO 80447 To keep the area less crowded Jeff Wiemelt Parker CO 80134Jeffrey Kerr‐Layton Boulder CO 80301 Please provide a cohesive plan with your intentions before spending our money. When

you use the money of someone you care about to buy something, you owe it to them

To explain what your intentions are with the money.

Teresa L Frederick Colorado Springs CO 80922 I am signing this petition because I would like to know how specifically the land will be used and how it will affect our current community. How will our wildlife be be safe and continue to thrive in Columbine?


Jerry and Katy Pope Grand Lake CO 80447 I request more details on exactly how this 21 acre parcel is going to be utilized. I would like the opportunity to comment on the planned development. I am a property owner in the adjacent Columbine Lake subdivision.

Thomas Galligan Centennial CO 80122 We have a cabin in columbine lake and are very concerned over what might be done with a parcel this large and so very close to our property. It borders an area across the road from us and potentially adverse uses would be detrimental to our interests and those of our neighbors. Since there isn’t a clear and compelling reason or use stated all parties should have an opportunity to become involved in the process.

Ron Blackwelder Lafayette CO 80026‐3381 We would appreciate seeing a more detailed plan for this land prior to its acquisition. Will its usage blend in with the surroundings and not degrade the existing neighborhood. Thanks for your consideration.

Michelle Dougan Grand Lake CO 80447 This development will adversely impact our community and quality of life in Columbine.

Frances Inman Grand Lake CO 89447 I do not believe that the town of Grand Lake has done the proper community outreach before making this acquisition. Not sure they are making good use of taxpayer dollars ‐ we all need to be briefed on the general plan ‐ not to mention ‐ the impact of the East Troublesome Fire. Columbine Lake suffered extreme damage while the town was saved and now they want to add questionable land uses in our neighborhood. This is not transparent and accountable governance.

Gretchen Everett Grand lake CO 80238

Mark Jolstad Lakewood CO 80227 Want to confirm no negatives to adjoining property I live in Megan Pennock Grand Lake CO 80447 I would like to know the exact use of the space and how the construction will affect our

community before the purchase goes out through.Pat Sweeney Grand Lake CO 80403 I agree with arguementRichard Allen Grand Lake CO 80447


Tami Joyce Grand lake CO 80447 We have a unique neighborhood (right next to RMNP!!!) and building houses and such will diminish wildlife and the quiet we look for in living in this area.. there will be more traffic ‐ and become more of a city living. We did not buy in this area for city living!! Many who live here are from Denver and long for open spaces, unique mountain places, quiet pristine area with abundant wildlife!!! This will destroy our community along w fires that already destroyed many of our houses in the area. Please,please do not add to this devastation. Thank you.

David J Young Littleton CO 80128 Need study of anticipated land use and expected traffic patterns and impact.Jan shackelford Frisco, CO 80443 I own a home in Columbine lake. Growth is not necessarily progress. Each time you

annex more land and congest pristine areas you degrade the quality of life for those of use who live here. Please don’t turn this into a Denver suburb!

Charlie Krummel Thornton CO 80602Paula Krummel Thornton CO 80602 The infrastructure does not support a maintenance facility. Jack Stuber Mission Hills KS 66208 We have just been through a significant fire near our home at Columbine. Please slow

this process down so the residents can better understand how new development will affect the immediate area.

Lynnda Gies Lakewood CO 80227 My 2nd home located at 874 Kinnikinnick backs to this section of land and I know frim

previous experience that any activity in these 21 acres of land, would harm my tranquility and enjoyment of my own property. I could not imagine what the city would end up putting behind me that could increase my value or enjoyment of the peacefulness that I currently have as I sit on my deck or sleep with my windows open and enjoy my silence. I am 100% opposed to what could be done behind me unless there were at least 1 acre of land between my property line and the beginning of any construction that the city is going to do. I have the right to continue with my property enjoyment and quiet and not worry about how the city would perform their maintenance shack or employee housing. This type of project would be nothing but damaging to my property value and positive chance of resell no matter when they started or ended their construction. As a taxpayer of Grant County I feel this would violate my privacy rights as well as violate my property rights.

dennis hathaway grand lake CO secretive nature of this transaction, which could harm the residential nature of the columbine neighborhood that adjoins this property in question.


Mark W Adams Grand Lake CO 80447 The American Way is transparent information, fair and free debate, a sharing of ideas, then a decision. If you give all an opportunity for comment and opinion, then a fair position can be take , ‘up or down’.

Carol Gumpert Grand lake CO 80447 Concerned that plans may affect my property value and ability to enjoy my home.

Diane Grigg Grand lake CO 80447 It doesn’t appear that there has been a clear plan for the property or adequate research on the impact on neighboring properties. Public hearings should also be implemented to understand all considerations and concerns.

Sally Lowdermilk Tucson 85742 Our home on Primrose Lane at Columbine Lake is adjacent to the Stanley property. We have many concerns about the proposed uses for this property and those effects on our quality of life and property value. We have a right to have a voice.

Susan Adams Denver CO 80222 Just concerned about more traffic and folks finding our lake, etc and helping themselves. Happens a lot in denver.

Marlene K Stjernholm GRAND LAKE CO 80447 Concerned about degradation of property values.

Susan & Jeff Grand Lake CO 80447 The more open space the better for the humans and the animals. Rebecca Ann‐Foss Williams

Grand Lake CO 80447 Too many what if’s and unknowns. Mr. Stanley has a reputation for unscrupulous actions and behaviors...

David Brooks Grand Lake CO 80447 None of the proposed usages are appropriate to be located close to the beautiful residential areas that are nearby. They will hurt property values, add to traffic and noise and destroy the aesthetic value of the area. This is a bad idea.

Russell P Rowe Grand Lake CO 80447 Traffic congestion; dense residential neighborhoods; and town operations in an unacceptable area

Sandra Otting Provo UT 84606 My family has had property in Columbine Lake for 35 years. It is our place of peace and recreation. As the town has grown and visitors increase we see good and bad but worry greatly about this purchase and how it might effect our community.

George Wilcinski Grand lake CO 80447 would like.to know more of their plansKarry Mesch Brush CO 80723 Columbine lake is a very quiet, calm and clean place for families to enjoy. We would not

like the property near by to be sold and used for unclear reasons or to bring load and obnoxious ideas. Columbine residents want to enjoy their time away from the distractions that bring them to this great community.


Fritz Cherrington Grand Lake CO 80477 Having a home close to the parcel we are concerned with the noise and light pollution and heights of buildings that may arise with uncontrolled building.

Laura Fast Grand lake CO 80247 We need more information and assurance that the town’s plannned use of the property won’t negatively affect our properties nearby

Phoebe Kellar Grand Lake CO 80447 This would impact my neighborhood Mary Fleurquin Grand Lake CO 80447 This is in my neighborhood and I would like to know why this land is being purchased

and what it is going to be used for. Thank youSusanna nelson I would like to learn more about the environmental impact. Michael R Moore Grand Lake CO 80447 The environmental impact of development of this area has not been studied. Issues of

traffic management, noise pollution, environmental degradation, and impact on property values and quality of life for the adjacent residential community need to be thoroughly investigate.

Karen TeRonde Centennial CO 80112 This parcel purchase is an intrusion into a quiet, residential neighborhood. David LaFrance Grand Lake CO 80447 The Columbine Lake community is a special place, my wife and I had a cabin in the

community that burned in the East Troublesome Fire. We are rebuilding our cabin because we intend on retiring there. We would be very disappointed if to have the way of life changed by this development. There must be a better location with less impact on current residents. Thank you for your consideration.

Emeline Paulson Grand Lake CO 80447 I’m concerned about the impact the proposed development of the property will have on the Columbine Lake community.

Michele Young Grand Lake CO 80447 Degradation of property and life style for those of us in Columbine Lake

Sheri Linch Grand Lake CO 80447 Requesting to postpone further action on the 21 acre parcel near Columbine until residence understand why is going there, why and how it will affect the surroundings.

Phil Stern Grand Lake CO 80447 I am signing this petition because while I am a supporter of growth for the Grand Lake community, I believe it is incumbent on elected officials to represent their plans and intentions with transparency and clarity to all constituents.


Brian Owens Grand Lake CO 80447 We demand to know more about the intended use of the land! We have owned a home in Grand Lake / Columbine Lake for more than 10 years. Many of the intended use and the proximity to our neighborhood causes us grave concern about the impact to our quality of life, property values among other things. We demand to know more.

Natalie farris Grand lake CO 80447 As a year round resident of Columbine lake, I would like to be reassured that the purchase of this parcel by the town poses no threat to our area or quality of life. The town must be transparent with its plans.

Jeff Petersell Arvada CO 80007 We own a cabin at 31 Kinnikinnick in Columbine Lake. We concur with our Columbine neighbors and board that the intended uses for the acquisition of the Stanley parcel would degrade the quality of life for the residents.

John Nowowiejski Grand Lake CO 80447 The need for clarification on what this parcel will be used for. Since I live VERY close to this parcel and am worried about it’s impact on my quality of life.

Robert Shamo Grand Lake CO 80447 I am 100% against this purchase as this will make it easy for people who do not care about our community of Columbine Lake the access to utilize our roads and lake that we pay for in our HOA fees. Stop Building....start preserving!

Tessa Tarr Grand Lake CO 80447 I'd like to know what the city proposes to do with the land prior to the sale going through.

Karen L. Babb Grand Lake CO 80447 The full disclosure specifically detailing how this real estate is going to be utilized and/or developed raises great concern; more over, the issue of the water rights, control and maintenance has not been addressed. Why are these simple basic facts shrouded in such secrecy, and who EXACTLY is involved and will benefit in developing this land? This will impact CLCC directly with special emphasis to those home owners bordering this property as well as the residents who use the Golf Course Road entrance to our community.

Lynn O’Donnell Grand Lake CO 80447 Need a more specific explanation of how the land will be used. And how it will affect the surrounding neighborhoods. Also what limitations are put on growth and development on the parcel.

Sean Dennis Grand Lake CO 80447 As a homeowner, we would just like a better understanding of what the land is going to be used for and how it will impact the Community. Thanks


Kristen Tait Grand Lake CO 80447 I signed this petition for a couple of reasons. First, because I don’t feel comfortable with a city run facility that close to neighborhoods. Who wants maintenance vehicles or trash in their backyard? Secondly, after reviewing the town proposal for 2021 I submitted several questions regarding the land acquisition plans and low income housing and never heard a word back, which was not encouraging, I’m not surprised that the town wants to purchase this acreage as I can’t imagine there are many opportunities left to acquire such a plot of land within town boundaries. Let’s see a firm

plan for the land and vote on it please. Thank you!

Stacy Lorenzen Grand Lake CO 80447 We are concerned about our community becoming too commercialized. We love the mountain cowboy feel of our town and want it to stay this way.

Gary Nelson Grand Lake CO 80447 Would like to learn more about any tended use of the land.Bryan Grigg Grand Lake CO 80447 The purchase of the indicated parcel has the potential to adversely affect the quality of

and all those directly and indirectly impacted are involved in the process. It is vital that true transparency of the process be maintained.

Ellen Bluth Grand Lake CO 80447 Concern regarding purchase of land use and its impact on neighborhoodErica Ruch Grand Lake CO 80447 We are concerned about the effect the development of this land could have on us as

residents in the area, as the impact on the local wildlife and the environment in the area. Already with so much around us burned, it seems irresponsible to develop unburned lands right now.

Lori St Germain Grand Lake CO 89447 To access this area all vehicles would need to travel thru neighborhoods . This will cause decrease in the value and serenity of the neighborhoods

Justine Miani Littleton CO 80120 My husband and I had a cabin in Columbine Lake that burned down in the East Troublesome Fire in October. We plan to rebuild and would hope that we would not be neighbors to trash facilities and maintenance sheds. We want to maintain the wilderness and wildlife that surround our neighborhood.

Jim reed Grandlake CO 80447Kristine Franklin Grand Lake CO 80447 I don't feel this type of development fits within all the residential housing. If a company

wanted to build a storage area for trucks and equipment, I don't thing GL would approve it.

Susan Davidson Denver CO 80209 I chose to buy a second home in Grand Lake 17 years ago because of the beautiful scenery, the location off the I70 corridor, and the ambience of the small town and it’s wonderful community. We have been through so much recently with the fires and terrible loss and our community has really pulled together. Please don’t do something to drive a wedge into our community. Purchasing and developing this property should involve input from the larger community especially those who will be directly impacted. Thank you.

Pamela Laufenberg Littleton CO 80123 All of the proposed uses need to show needed warrant and be clarified in great detail before abutting, disturbing disrupting so many vacation & full time residences. There are too many possibilities given which leaves too much room for unwanted results. WHY the secrecy?!?!

Grand Lake CO 80447 Neighborhood input is imperative! Quality of life in Grand Lake depends upon managing growth responsibly.

leslie heppler sandy UT 84092 Family cabin is in Columbine Lake CC. Too little information has been provided to the adjacent landowners. Detailed development plan needs to be provided. I was deeply saddened by the impacts of Troublesome fire to the area. It is obvious to me more land management plans need to be implemented at all levels of government. At a very minimum Buffer zones need to be predefined.

Brad Fawcett Grand lake CO 80447 Poor planning by the city and not being more public with the plan! Very unprofessional as a city operator with use of public tax dollars!

Phil Goldstein Grand Lake CO 80447 This property will definitely affect property values as well as attractive qualities to all of these areas. Negative uses will adversely affect tourist as well as ownership potential for all of Grand lake, and bottom line tax dollars and county revenue. It’s important to make sure all interested parties are involved on any final decisions. Let’s make it something special for all and attractive such as a really great park focused on our area and geared towards cleaning up the burn.

Ronald McQude and family

Grand Lake CO 80447 I would like to see this area used for recreational use such as snowmobile

Karyn Byrne Grand Lake CO 80447 I’m extremely concerned with the impact these land use choices will have on our quality of life within Columbine Lake. I am also a partial owner of 182 Primrose and 194 Primrose. I’m especially concerned for my properties there as the impact will be much more direct. And I don’t see at the moment how these proposed land uses will have a positive impact on these properties in particular. Thank you.


Jana Miller Grand Lake CO 80447 Use of this property will severely impact surrounding neighborhoods. It deserves scrutiny and more daylight than it is being given. A use that serves the community and enhances the beauty of the area must be chosen‐‐not trash and storage facilities!!!

Jane Tryggestad Grand Lake CO 80447 Do not want trash facility, maintenance facility or dorm style housing. Snowmobile trails would be good assuming there were noise ordinances.

Richard Brinkley Grand Lake CO 80447 Concerned about the impacts to wildlife and to CLCC.Todd Stratman Mansfield TX 76073 Disturbing nature‐wildlife, water shedding, etc. Road noise, road damage, increased

traffic, large vehicle noise and pollution. Additional commercial style facilities are not visibly pleasing. All the above and more effect property values.

Scott Belknap Grand Lake CO 80109 My property borders this 21 acre parcel and I have big issues with the lack of explanation with the towns plans for this parcel. This is a wildlife sanctuary where numerous wildlife feel safe as this was minimally touched by the Troublesome fire. There is not much wooded land left around Columbine lake from the fire.

Patricia Schulze Grand Lske CO 80447 I value open space

Mickey Juenemann Grand Lake CO 80447 I live in Columbine Lakes and any of the proposed uses will add noise and destruction of the beautiful landscape which is why I purchased my home.

Stephanie Slaybaugh Grand Lake CO 80447 It is premature. Especially with the events of 2020.JB Kelly Grand Lake CO 80447 I believe that the town should reconsider the acquisition of land for nonresidential

purposes that directly abuts residential property without thoroughly considering the impact to the affected homeowners. An environmental impact statement should also be done.


Rena Czerwinski Grand Lake CO 80447 I live in Columbine Lake, and would like to know the purpose of the intended purchase, as it is not clear, and may adversely affect my quality of life in my neighborhood

Beryl E. Maus Grand Lake CO 80447 Population and activities that will inhabit the space will negatively impact traffic, safety, and security of the Columbine Lake homeowners.

Katie Ellis Grand Lake CO 80447 While I understand the desire for the Town to make purchases with the future in mind, it seems an irresponsible use of tax dollars to make such a large purchase when the town has a hard time keeping up with maintaining the properties they already own. Knowing the town can plan and approve whatever they'd like and disregard public comment makes me uneasy. Additionally, I worry about increased traffic to neighboring communities for all proposed uses.

Stan Adams Grand Lake CO 80447 It will be a horrible thing for our homesKenneth T Gambon Grand Lake CO 80447 I want an OPEN and Clear discussion with homeowners/ taxpayers on proposed use of

our money for purchasing land and also an impact analysis of any proposed uses PRIOR to making the purchase.

John Letzelter Grand Lake CO 80447 I want more information.

Jody Fattore Grand Lake CO 80128Sara Schulze Grand Lake CO 80447 I live in Columbine Lake neighborhood and all of the proposed options for development

to this parcel would greatly disrupt the peace and beauty in this are. The proposed developments should be saved for outskirt areas of town, not in the middle of developed neighborhoods. Thanks!

Patty Rodgers Grand Lake CO 80447 Concerns about property value and usage of landKathy Weydert Grand Lake CO 80447 As a property owner within the town limits, I believe this acquisition for $1.5 million

will put an undue financial burden on its citizens. WRONG location for public works.

Charles Volk Grand Lake CO 80447 I don't want a trash site located next to our community. Jo Aman Grand Lake CO 80447 Sure don’t want trash facilities so close to homes & golf course. Bobbi Kahler GRAND LAKE CO 80447‐1308 We need more transparency about how the property will be used. We moved up here

for a reason and we don't want to see the wildlife and nature be destroyed. Plus, we don't want the quiet and beauty of this area destroyed by more commerce. That's why we didn't pick Winter Park or Frasier. We moved next to RMNP for a reason. Please consider our quality of life.


Matthew Anthony Gargan

Denver CO 80247 Any growth with a maintenance facility will have a direct impact on our community and the potential of environmental contamination. An environmental impact study with noise pollution, traffic, air quality with big equipment etc.

JOSEPH R OSBORN LONGMONT CO 80504 I own a home at 78 Goldenrod Pl in Columbine Lake and I travel Golf Course road to get to my home. This is currently a beautiful drive and out of the way of town. It makes no sense for any type of commercial industry or storage of large equipment to exist on this stretch of road. The road is not built for this and the area is not convenient for this type of facility.

Hollis Jacob Grand Lake CO 80447 We love the serenity of our Columbine Lake Community. Please reconsider making it more industrialized.

Larry Saltzer Grand Lake CO 80447 Government needs to be transparent. Tell us your plans before you commit!Harry Strohauer Grand Lake CO 80447 We enjoy seeing the elk, deer & moose traveling through this parcel. The bugling in the

fall is rather extraordinary along this path. It would disrupt the beauty & quality of life for both the wildlife and us homeowners.

Donna Reif Sack Loveland CO 80537 We don't want the stink and noise of utility equipment and /or trash collection in our community. We also don't need the added traffic impacting the wildlife in this area.

John Larson Grand Lake CO 80447 I want to know what the property will be used for before I can say I approve of tax dollars used to purchase land.

Martin Jacob Grand Lake CO 80447 I live in the neighborhood and Moved here recently because of the serene atmosphere in this area. Making it more industrial or busy is the opposite of why I live here


Emily Vogt Grand lake CO 80447 As co‐owners of two properties that abut the 21+ acre Stanley/Simpkins property, we are very concerned at the proposal by Grand Lake to annex the property for any use except as open space. What has been for 13 years a sanctuary for our family, a place for renewal and peace, would, under the proposal, become a hub for traffic, overcrowding the area and adding to noise pollution. We humans are not the only ones affected by this proposal. The area to the rear of our properties has been a place where the local wildlife has enjoyed a safe habitat. We often see moose moms and their babies, as well as other smaller animals. We note that their behavior indicates that this is a place in which they do not feel threatened by their human neighbors, and we enjoy their majestic grace. All of that would change with most of the proposed usages. The recent fires have exacerbated the situation, with the loss of many acres of protected habitat. This appears to be one of the only unburned plots on the entire eastside of Grand Lake. It should be preserved. Many evenings, we have marveled at the beautiful night sky, which has been to this point, relatively free from light pollution. Our children have been in awe at the vast array of stars and constellations visible from our home. The addition of any development would have a negative impact on what we have come to treasure. Our desire, of course, would be to save the entire area as open space, safe from development. Failing that, we would hope at least that a large buffer area would be preserved to separate the homes from the noise, traffic, and danger to residents, their children and grandchildren, and local wildlife. We hope our voices, added to many others, will have an impact.

Megan Akiyama Grand Lake CO 80447 I don’t agree with the direction that is being proposed for our community or the town of Grand Lake.

Henrietta Helming Grand Lake CO 80447‐0624 I am concerned it will affect property values. Also am concerned about noise and light pollution and traffic problems.

Betty STAFFORD GRAND LAKE CO 80447 As a customer of businesses in Grand Lake and paying the Grand Lake Sales taxes on each purchase, I would like to think that the money is being used wisely and beneficially for the locals of the community. I would hope that each expenditure of the Town Board of this size would have approval from the locals or at least discussions before signing an agreement that many have no idea of why such a purchase is necessary.

Brian Skop Grand Lake CO 80447 Our property is next to the parcel. I like to see the land undisturbed as there is a tremendous amount of wildlife that lives on it and travels through it. Additionally, I believe the city should lay out their plans more specifically so that residents can have input into the purpose of the property. Listing 3 possibilities without specific details such as easements and proposed structures does not give us enough detail to make an informed decision.

Frances Deagman Grand Lake CO 80447 Degradation of lifestyle and property valueMargaret Grand Lake CO 80447 The purpose of this acquisition needs to stated. With all the damage from Covid and

Suzanne Verticchio Jacksonville IL 62650 What has been for years a sanctuary for our family, a place for renewal and peace, would, under the proposal, become a hub for traffic, overcrowding the area and adding to noise pollution. We humans are not the only ones affected by this proposal. The area to the rear of our properties has been a place where the local wildlife has enjoyed a safe habitat. We often see moose moms and their babies, as well as other smaller animals. We note that their behavior indicates that this is a place in which they do not feel threatened by their human neighbors, and we enjoy their majestic grace. All of that would change with any of the proposed usages detailed in your December 4 email. The recent fires have exacerbated the situation, with the loss of many acres of protected habitat. Another area of concern is with the water rights. What would be the impact on Columbine Lake property owners? Many of us purchased property in this area in part due to the benefits of owning property close to a lake – enjoying fishing, kayaking, canoeing and the beach area. If the levels of the lake were to go down, how would that affect our beautiful lake? It is not just the homeowners whose property is next to the proposed development who would feel the impact! Many evenings, we have marveled at the beautiful night sky, which has been to this point, relatively free from

light pollution. Our grandchildren have been in awe at the vast array of stars and constellations visible from our home. The addition of more housing would have a negative impact on what we have come to treasure. Our desire, of course, would be to save the entire area as open space, safe from development. Failing that, we would hope at least that a large buffer area would be preserved to separate the homes from

the noise, traffic, and danger to residents, their children and grandchildren, and local wildlife. We appreciate you reaching out to us homeowners, and we hope our voices, added to many others, will have an impact.

Lisa Baugher Grand Lake CO 80447 Although I am not opposed to progress, I think a more detailed explanation of the intended use for this property needs to be made public and give the residents a chance to weigh in on the decision.

Zach McGuire Grand Lake CO 80447 We live on a road that has potential access to this parcel in the future. We have concerns about the specific use and want more details around the master plan, traffic patterns, time frame, possible zoning changes.


Alan Youngs Lakewood CO 80227 I do not want a trash, trash storage facility or commercial development on the Stanley property near Golf Course road. Find somewhere else not so close to neighborhoods to put this facility. This facility will increase commercial traffic (trucks) to quiet neighborhoods. Also, it is too close to a recreational area and to the National Park. There is plenty of land in Grand County away from neighborhoods and the park to utilize.

richard mcreynolds Grand lake CO 80447 I want to know why this is being considered in our neighborhood

Mike Greene Grand Lake CO I need a bette understanding of city intent w regards to the proposed purchase of the Palmer parcel.

Ken Lund Grand Lake CO 80447‐1073 A decision to spend this amount of public funds, and impact communities around Grand Lake should have open, transparent public hearings BEFORE the purchase, not after.

BENJAMIN R WILMHOFF

Grand Lake CO 80447 Hello ‐ My wife and I have owned in Grand Lake for 11 years. We are very concerned about the pending purchase of this property based on the lack of transparency of how the property will be used. Our home shares a border with the Stanley property, and I am sure that I speak for a dozen property owners that this sale could degrade the value of properties in the area permanently. I'm pleading with you to reconsider this.

Gary & Mary‐Jo Nolan Grand Lake CO 80447 We want to know more about what the town of Grand Lake is planning to do with this property as it's use may affect the property values & quality of life in the Columbine Lake area.

Amy and Matt Boyd Grand Lake CO 80447 Building on open space should be seriously considered. Filling up all the available space just causes pollution, traffic, noise, crowded conditions. We live in the mountains to get away from all of that. Putting the facilities proposed next to a residential neighborhood is not being neighborly.


Horace Beaven Grand Lake CO 80447 To the Honorable Mayor Kudron and Board of Trustees for Grand Lake: As our stewards, it is certainly no secret to you that the unique charm offered by the Town of Grand Lake and the stunning natural beauty offered by the surrounding lakes, the Colorado River headwaters, the surrounding mountains, millions of lodgepole pines, and stunningly abundant wildlife – these are the reasons that people desired and built the existing neighborhoods in the Grand Lake area – to enjoy and coexist with the quiet mountain/lake beauty that nature has provided. It is the area’s unique natural beauty and peaceful lifestyle that has drawn people to invest and build homes here. I am one of those people. I have personally been coming to Grand Lake since 1972 to enjoy its natural grandeur. My wife and I married in 1979 and together we have come to Grand Lake for the reasons listed above since 1980—staying in virtually every cabin and style of lodging that existed—good and bad. We took out a second “mortgage” on our Dodge Caravan to buy our land at Columbine Lake around 1989 or ’90. We built our home at 56 Beaver Lane in 2000 and have enjoyed every minute of the experience. We have raised our children in the summers at Grand Lake. Grand Lake is a unique experience. It offers a lifestyle of peace and beauty that we have savored for decades. Next year I will celebrate 50 years coming to Grand Lake. I believe I speak for many, many Grand Lake homeowners and throngs of visitors who come for the natural beauty of the area and the slow‐paced, peaceful style of living. To that end I implore you NOT to jump into a land use decision that will in any way harm our area’s quiet lifestyle that is literally in harmony with nature itself. I join other residents who strongly denounce a potential municipal decision that would degrade the unique quality of living that we all enjoy. I implore you not to make a quick decision regarding the property purchase and potential land uses that you have under consideration for the 21‐acre Stanley parcel. As many others have stated, the growth proposed for this parcel represents a possible degradation of the quality of life for homeowners adjacent to the property and for those living in the neighborhoods of Columbine Lake, Ridge at Elk Creek, and the homes l lf d l d f h d k f l dDennis J Frank Parker CO 80138 The growth proposed for this parcel could degrade quality of life for adjoining Town homeowners as well as those in the neighborhoods of Columbine Lake, Ridge at Elk Creek, and the homes along Golf Course Road.

Jacqueline A Souverein

Grand Lake CO 80447‐0327 I've worked years to retire at my place in Columbine. I enjoy the serenity of this area and the recent fires have already made a negative impact in the area. This land would most likely be even more negatively impacted if the Town of Grand Lake uses this for any of the proposed intentions.

Jayne Lyall Grand Lake CO 80447 I would like more research re: the proposed purchase of Stanley parcel to be done BEFORE the sale goes through. Many issues need to be researches such as: possible environmental impact, necessity of proposed uses etc. Let's not spend $1.2 million of OUR tax money without sufficient research and transparency!

Sue Fattor Grand Lake CO 80447 Not clear what the use will be for, and how the nearby homes will be affected by noise, traffic, and other potential impacts. Allowing this proposal to proceed in such a secretive process without a thorough planning analysis would set a dangerous precedent.

Peter Gambon Grand Lake CO 80447 There are too many unknowns on how this property will be utilized. Please postpone further action on the 21‐acre parcel until a very public and thorough planning process has been completed.

Richard Sampson Grand Lake CO 80447 My wife and I are deeply concerned by the lack of transparency about the reasons for acquiring and the planned future use of this property which backs to the Columbine Lake development where our new home is located and that my wife's family helped develop 50 years ago.

It is going to be a considerable investment, but we decided that we wanted to rebuild because we love the community and the scenery. Please postpone any new development on this parcel of land so that we can fully determine the impact to our neighborhood. Thank you.

Not only will this impact the residences within the immediate vicinity but I feel this will also have impact on all residences in Grand Lake. We come to Grand Lake to enjoy the lifestyle and small town feel and this development will impact that main draw of the area.

Russell Evans Louisville CO 80027 Although several possible uses for the property have been mentioned, no real, demonstrated need has been presented to justify the expenditure of town funds for this property. I'm not sure of the impact of this acquisition on my property in the Columbine Lake subdivision, but that is mostly because no definite plan for the use of this property has been presented. I can't support the purchase until solid plans for its use are made public.

In a era of political polarization, creating new possible areas of friction between interest groups is just not a good idea.

Cynthia and David Levi

Grand Lake CO 80447 Not an appropriate use of land ‐ noise, no infrastructure existing to support, unsightly, buildings would be to large, and mostly TRAFFIC

Carter G Jenkins Arvada CO 80007 We are moving into Columbine Lake this summer and want to keep our neighborhood as it is!

Ryan m Edwards Grand Lake CO 80447 I am concerned with the planned use of this property by Grand Lake and the negative impact it would have on the area.

Yarrow Breslaw Grand Lake CO 80447 Quality of Life in CLCC Carol Holly Grand lake CO 80447 We lost our cabin in the troublesome fire. This proposal would have increased traffic in

our area but what else? We need more information. 2020 was a hard year and transparency for this parcel of land would be helpful for us to understand our next steps.


Linda Willing Grand Lake CO 80447 The proposed uses for this parcel are not compatible with the residential/neighborhood character of the surrounding properties. Residents of surrounding neighborhoods have not been consulted or involved in the planning process involving this transaction.

dale Sweat Arvada CO 80002 could threaten the home values in Columbine Lake.Mark Grand lake CO 80447 Lack of transparency

Jeremy Goldson DENVER CO 80210 The need for the land, as well as the potential town uses of the land has not been clearly explained. Are there additional environmental impacts? What about for homeowners who live near the parcel? What is the impact upon the unclear plans on them?

John B Erickson Grand Lake CO 80447 This is a definite threat to the quality of life to us who live in the Columbine Lake neighborhood! I am very much against this taking place!

Josh Sewell Castle Rock CO 80108Stephen Tarr Grand Lake CO 80447 As a Columbine Lake homeowner I am concerned about the environmental impact this

will have on the land, water systems and local wildlife. I am also extremely concerned about the noise impact any development may have as well as the significant traffic impacts to Golf Course Road as well as at the Intersection of Highway 34.

Harold Skramstad Grand Lake CO 80447 Columbine Lake community needs to know what will be done with the parcel and whether it is compatible with the community.

Joann Johnson Fort Collins CO 80525 I own a home in the Columbine Lake neighborhood, at 617 Columbine Drive. I am very concerned about the lack of transparency with this initiative by the town of Grand Lake. I would like this proposal to be postponed until a public and thorough planning process has been completed. Thank you

Grand Lake CO 80447 Degradation of quality of life and property value

Kevin Breslaw Grand Lake CO 80447 The impact of this purchase needs to be studied more, and the quality of life of those impacted looks like it will be greatly diminished.

FrankSinagra Grand Lake CO 80447 I had my home built in Columbine Lake 15 years ago. I chose this location in no small part because of the quality of life it offered. I signed this petition in order to voice my concern and opposition to the Town's purchase of the Stanley parcel and its proposed uses which will adversely impact all of the adjacent communities.


Raymond Easler Grand Lake CO 80447 To keep our community like it is now. We don’t need more development Rebecca Lindsey Grand Lake CO 80124 Before anything is done we as taxpayers in the homeowners must week and then clear

idea of the reasoning behind This purchase. We also need to know what exactly is going to be used for.

Gregory Conner Grand Lake CO 80447 It appears to us that not much thought has gone into this acquisition. The major draw to the Columbine Lake area is the peace and quiet we have here. Our property values are reflective of this and it does cost a premium to live here. We have had our home for 30 years now and enjoy the whole area including the downtown area. A major reason is the size and simplicity of the town. I don't want to see our community become another Estes Park. Not sure why politicians seem to always feel the need to expand and grow everything to the extreme. More money? Leaving a legacy? A great legacy would be to keep our town a nice place for families to enjoy while helping our small businesses do well and want to stay. When our property values plummet due to this type of expansion current residents will leave and , over time, the community will decline and deteriorate into something we will not want to be a part of. If the city needs additional space for maintenance facilities and lower income housing, it should look for land not adjacent to subdivisions like ours. The traffic that will be generated on Golf Course Rd. alone would be an eyesore as well as a danger to people riding bicycles and out for walks, etc. Please find a more logical location for this expansion and leave nice established communities the way they are.

Charles Jecminek Aurora CO 80013 We have enough construction going on in our area. grand lake should focus on rebuilding the areas with fire damage

Brad Hoffman Grand Lake CO 80447 Transparent and responsible planning and growth are essential to maintain our community.

Casey Lowdermilk Grand Lake CO 80447‐1381 This property is directly adjacent to mine and its use will directly impact my home and quality of life. Please consider and engage with citizens before finalizing a plan.

Renee McReynolds Golden 80402 My husband and I have owned property in Columbine Lake for over 30 years and have thoroughly enjoyed the community there.


Greg Kreiling Wheatridge CO 80033 I have five properties in Columbine Lake , I work around a lot of developers. In the metro area . This sort of hoodwink and hand in the cookie jar situation must be stopped . Why when how must be answered I understand the city needs space for this sort of project although I’m saying don’t put it next to residential it’s not fair to existing owners! Find a different property that’s been approved for expansion purposes !

James K Good Grand Lake CO 80447 This acquisition of land is disturbing as there are no bounds set on potential use. This land is surrounded largely by single family dwellings with limited traffic access.These are quiet country neighborhoods. The city has mentioned potential uses including high density housing for summer workers and movement of an existing maintenance facility for heavy machinery and trash disposal. These uses are being mentioned with no regard for the environmental impact and increased traffic including heavy machinery will affect the surrounding neighborhoods. Traffic access has not been discussed. I request this land acquisition be delayed until the city has developed firm

plans for the land use that are compatible and acceptable to the surrounding neighborhoods.

Mr & Mrs Spence Grand lake CO 80447 The proposal indicates no direction for the use of property. If large vehicles come into area,this will effect noise, environnement, peace and tranquility we now have. Why use taxpayers money when property behind Conoco has not been developed for housing . Too many ifs, need for board to evaluate and propose the use of this land before making haste decisions.

Linda Greene Grand Lake CO 80447 Very concerned about what this proposal could mean for the area. Please postpone this action so that further investigation and discussion can take place.

Doug Adams Denver CO 80222 It would ruin the environment Eric Hoos Grand Lake CO 80447 I don't see a clear cut plan for the land. Seems like just buying the land because they

can and figure out what to do with it later. Where's the money going to come from for development. Not transparent at all.


sara moran grand lake CO 80447 Sorry if this went through a second time....this will impact traffic near our home, it will be an eyesore to have town equipment going up Golf Course Rd which is already well traveled with golfers, skiers, walkers, etc. You are impacting a lot of people. Have you asked any of us about this? We are not the folks who can vote for you but you listened to the folks who can when you changed having some of this at the GLC. I am hoping you will listen and not follow through with trash drop offs, with equipment with snowmobilers traveling at high speeds through at neighborhood. Not a good plan. Disappointed by this decision.

Maryann Hoos Grand Lake CO 89447 Our home backs to this Stanley property. Very concerned where they are getting the water. Don’t want this development walking through our property and using our private lake!!! Low income housing is an issue. Multi family housing is an issue. Town of Grand Lake has NO business spending taxpayers money on real estate development. The town has to get LOANS to do this and if they don’t have the CASH to purchase, do NOT go into DEBT !! Tax payers will be on the hook for it ALL!!!

Jon CO 80447 I live next to this 21 acres, I want to see the land development that doesn’t impact my property and home life

Brad Fawcett Grand Lake CO 80447 Not fair representation, not public and likely poor use of tax dollars.Graham Gill Grand Lake CO 80447 This area of Grand Lake is naturally tranquil and pristine. This is a big part of the

connection homeowners have to this area. We completely appreciate we need to support our local government in their effort to provide the needed services for our community. However, we feel this 21‐acre parcel is not an appropriate location for a services facility and encourage the leadership to identify a more appropriate location that does not have as large a (negative) impact on the long‐standing existing community.

Edward Thibodeau Denver CO 80231 I am worried how these proposed uses for the property will negatively affect the our CLCC neighborhood.

Phyllis Rhoades Grand Lake CO 80447 There should be an opportunity for the homeowners who this action affects to be able to have their concerns heard and discussed.

Elena Cok Denver CO 80237 I agree that a thorough planning process needs to be completed.ronald brady Denver CO 80220 Columbine Lake is a quiet area that doesn't need to become another Estes Park!!!


Lindsay Dodge Grand Lake CO 80447 Can you please explain where the demonstrated need is for using these 21 acres in such a commercial way? This is a residential area, and increased traffic and noise will negatively impact the quality of life in this quiet community.

Sheri Muilenburg Grand Lake CO 80447 While not opposed to strategic and intentional growth, it would be respectful to address all concerns prior to moving forward.

Nancy Conrad Grand Lake CO 80447 That property is only blocks from where we live. We would like to have somewhat of a say so in determining what that property is developed for. More study needs to happen.

maureen ludwig grand lake CO 80447Ashlee Harry Grand Lake CO 80447 There are uses for this property that could devalue the CLCC neighborhood. For that

reason, I would rather not have this property sold to the town at this time.

Christine Bliven Grand Lake CO 80447 Living in Columbine Lake, I am concerned about the impact of the proposals by the town on our quality of life.

Brad Reed Littleton CO 80123 I have a home at 747 County Road 471, which is about 100 yards from the Stanley property, and immediately adjacent to where extending 471 to the property has been discussed. I am concerned about increased traffic, road dust and noise, litter, disruption of local wild life and our general way of life; which is why we bought the property in 2005. While we do not live inside city limits, the proposed development will adversely affect our property and life style. Additionally, we, our neighbors and guests shop and dine in Grand Lake, which contributes to the local economy.

Elizabeth Reed Littleton CO 80123 We are second home owners with a cabin we love located on Cty Rd 471, just south of this proposed purchase. We do not want our peaceful and beautiful area impacted with heavy truck traffic or more car traffic. All roads leading to this 21‐acre site, Cty Rd 471, Gold Course Rd and Cty Rd 48 will be impacted by lots more traffic and our peaceful and quiet time at our cabin will no longer exist. Let’s make it a priority to hold more greater Town of Grand Lake meetings to discuss the impact to the neighborhoods.

David Dodge Grand Lake CO 80447 Our home is right off Golf Course Road and a major increase in commercial traffic and noise would be detrimental to the neighborhood.

Philip M. Goes Grand Lake CO 80447 Government Actions that affect my peace and tranquility, taken in secret, or at least not in a transparent manner, should not happen.


Harriett Arvada CO 80002 Our Columbine Lake home borders this property. Considering selling if this goes through.

Rich & Carol Johnson Grand Lake CO 80447 Our property borders said parcel. We are concerned of traffic if a road is pushed thru on 471 as well(and even greater concern of any road running along the northern border of our property. Non residential uses would devalue our property and add noise, traffic and detract from wildlife and natural beauty of the adjacent area. We had expected single family homes only for this area one day in the future with access only via Foxy Lane. We have owned and lived on our property since 2007.

Sara Moran Grand Lake CO 80447 Poor choice for towns machinery in the middle of a subdivision. Golfers wading up 48 and walkers on CR 478. Poor planning.

Bruce ROOF Grand Lage CO 80447 Concern with the lack of responsiveness on the part of Grand Lake officials. Long term ramifications to surrounding neighborhoods and the eroding of life quality in those areas as a result of the City’s action.

Nancy Tarr Grand Lake CO 80447 It is an area thats beauty lies in the untouched nature surrounding the modest neighborhood of Columbine Lake. A development not only would ruin the calm, natural vibe of the area, but would cause added traffic leading to the movement of animals and other natural things that make grand lake what it is. Leave it untouched and we can still appreciate the land and all it has to offer.

Edward Goldson Denver CO 80220Lesley Manent Grand Lake CO 80447 Until the current growth areas in the Land Use plan have been developed on and tax

payers money spent on them, no new growth areas should be developed or moneys allocated to them.

Christopher Lund Pueblo CO 81005 My family owns property in CLCC.

vincent verbel grand lake CO 80447 I do not want to see any heavy equipment, or trash storage behind my house.. This is not the area for such use.

William Johannes Arvada CO 80003 I feel that the town of Grand Lake should be more up front with the intended use of the Stanley Parcel before spending over a million dollars of taxpayer money to purchase it. I am concerned as to what impact this property will eventually have on my Columbine Lake property. Not to mention the environmental impact on the entire Grand Lake area.

Laura McDaniel Chicago IL 60618 We would like the land to remain available to nature. It’s beautiful and a great reprieve for animals and humans.


Noor Afridi Aurora CO 80016 This project will adversely impact the lifestyle of the neighboring residents of this area. The town of GL should be considerate of the quality of life of its residents. The town of GL should improve the quality of life of its residents and degrade it.

Jane Bodmer Grand Lake CO 80447William Spies Arvada CO 80005 william J spiesBrandon Vogt Colorado Springs CO 80906 We have a family cabin (I am one of the owners) and own the adjacent lot on

Kinnikinnick (we are 830). Both back up to this land. For the reasons others have mentioned, we absolutely do not want this land to be developed / disturbed / become more densely populated (I would add that this largely unburned parcel is even more sacred after the E Troublesome Fire). Brandon Vogt (719 964 8873)

Anthony Garr Grand Lake CO 80446 We do not need more crowding in area will destroy values not enough due diligence was done.All around bad idea for home owners!

Linda Skop San Antonio TX 78210


Linda Skop San Antonio TX 78210 To: Mark Woltkamp and the Board of Directors, Columbine Lake In reading your latest communication, I can say that as co‐owners of two properties that abut the 21+ acre Stanley/Simpkins property, we are dismayed at the proposal by Grand Lake to annex the property. What has been for years a sanctuary for our family, a place for renewal and peace, would, under the proposal, become a hub for traffic, overcrowding the area and adding to noise pollution. We humans are not the only ones affected by this proposal. The area to the rear of our properties has been a place where the local wildlife has enjoyed a safe habitat. We often see moose moms and their babies, as well as other smaller animals. We note that their behavior indicates that this is a place in which they do not feel threatened by their human neighbors, and we enjoy their majestic grace. All of that would change with any of the proposed usages detailed in your December 4 email. The recent fires have exacerbated the situation, with the loss of many acres of protected habitat. Another area of concern is with the water rights. What would be the impact on Columbine Lake property owners? Many of us purchased property in this area in part due to the benefits of owning property close to a lake – enjoying fishing, kayaking, canoeing and the beach area. If the levels of the lake were to go down, how would that affect our beautiful lake? It is not just the homeowners whose property is next to the proposed development who would feel the impact! Many evenings, we have marveled at the beautiful night sky, which has been to this point, relatively free from light pollution. Our grandchildren have been in awe at the vast array of stars and constellations visible from our home. The addition of more housing would have a negative impact on what we have come to treasure. Our desire, of course, would be to save the entire area as open space, safe from development. Failing that, we would hope at least that a large buffer area would be preserved to separate the homes from the noise, traffic, and danger to residents, their children and grandchildren, and local wildlife. We appreciate you reaching out to us homeowners, and we hope our voices, added to many others, will have an impact.

Rita A Neal Grand Lake CO 80447 Useless land. Grand Lake is not an investment company. GL owns enough vacant land in town to expand. We need an improved trash site with recycling like Fraser.

Joel Rogers Grand lake CO 80447Steve Grand lake CO 80447 I live in town proper and was understanding that this issue was on hold not moving

forwardSophie Skop Columbine Lake CO 80447 I’ve grown up visiting this area and I want to see it stay beautiful.


Michael Eastop Grand Lake CO 80047 More disclosure is needed to address the reasons listed for the purchase of the parcel and to demonstrate that those residents most directly affected are involved in the decision making.

John R. Hogg Grand Lake CO 80447 A thorough analysis should be provided to residents that will be affected by any developments listed. Transparency and formal discussions at town hall meetings should take place. Careless decision‐making by town elected officials will not be tolerated.

Sheri Hogg Grand Lake CO 80447 We have been home owners in Columbine Lake for 30 years and value the beauty and peace of our neighborhood. Even more importantly however we value transparency and truth from elected officials. Before any purchase moves forward with possible plans for land use. ALL should be made aware of how officials would like to use this parcel. I am opposed to any trash facility in that area or snow mobile trails. I would like to know more about the affordable housing proposal.

John Hogg Grand Lake CO 80447 Proper planning is needed prior to impacting local communities with additional traffic and or a trash facility.

Mitch Chvatal Grandlake CO 80447 There needs to be more information before moving forward regarding the usage of the property. A major concern is what that development will do to properly values..

Angela Chvatal Grand Lake CO 80447 More information needed before development begins. Lee Petrides Grand Lake CO What is the plan for this land, what is the Town planning on doing with the land??

Dave Rye Grand Lake CO 80447 We need specific use plans for the parcel which is not included in the town's master use plan. The town needs to prove that it's intended use is not detrimental to the area and property holders.

Sue Bishop Broomfield CO 80020 To ensure thorough planning on parcel is completed and input from area residents is received

Emma Chanin Golden CO 80401 I own a property in Columbine Lake and before now had not heard of a change in land use and would like to know more about what the Mayor and the town are proposing on this site.

David Wagor Grand Lake CO 80447 Really, give me a break, you are purchasing the land and won’t tell those of us, especially full timers, what you are going to do with it? Any type of housing or maintenance facility will drop our property value and increase the noise and traffic in our area.


BOB ADAMS Grand lake CO 80447 Rebuild the town shop on the ground it sits on. Way too much money for the other and how are you going to pay for it. Our taxes are high enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Kyle Lindsey Grand Lake CO 80447 As a homeowner in Grand Lake since 2008, I am very concerned that we manage our growth unlike what has been seen in other mountain towns.

Paula McAtee Grand Lake CO 80447 I would like information on how this land will be usedTom Tellschow Grand Lake CO 80447 Concerned and opposition to Grand Lakes plan to purchase the Stanley property off of

CR 48 for use as the town maintenance facility and other purposes in the heart of a major residental area, as well as the traffic impact.

Joe Ferdani Grand Lake CO 80446 So there can be a thoughtful, transparent and open process for determining the best use of this parcel.

Travis Maynard Grand Lake CO 80447 There has been no transparency regarding what is being planned.

John Rhoades Grand Lake CO 80447 Officials for the town of Grand Lake should conduct a town hall style meeting with the residents living in and around the Stanley parcel in order to discuss proposed uses of the land. This should happen BEFORE any purchase takes place considering tax payer money is being used for the purchase.
