6. What do you think that the role of a Planning Commissioner should be? Put another way, as a public
official, how would you best serve the citizens of Winter Park?
7. The Planning Commission meets twice per month on the second and fourth Tuesdays at 8:00am and
most meetings last 2 hours, can you commit to this schedule?
8. What do you think that the Town’s two largest assets are?
9. What could be done to make Winter Park a better place to own a business and to live?

Letter of Interest for a Planning Commission member
I live at 696 Vasquez Road, Winter Park and have lived there permanently since
2010. I have also have owned a short term rental property at 891 Winter Park
Drive in Old Town since about 1993.
I am a retired Architect with over 30 years of architectural experience working
primarily out of Denver. Locally, my firm designed the Denver Water Board
maintenance campus on county road 72. We also did some restaurant design at
the base and I designed and built my home on Vasquez Road. I have always
been on the other side of Planning Commission meetings presenting new
buildings so I am familiar with how reviews and approvals work.
I am familiar with the Winter Park Planning Department and have worked with
James Shockey, Planning Commission and Town Council on approving the
Master Plan for Old Town and other matters.
As an Architect, I have appreciated the Winter Park Planning Commission’s
understanding of their charge and if selected, I will do everything I can to
continue the Commissions good work.
I am a big picture thinker and as a Planning Commission member, I hope to help
Winter Park grow into the next level of livable resort communities.
Thank-you,
George Stevens

Dear Mr Shockey, Please accept this as my letter of interest in serving on the Planning and Zoning board. I
served previously in 2006 until a job took me out of town for a little over a year. (rest assured
I have no such pending applications).
I have lived in the Fraser Valley for over 28 years; in Winter Park for almost 20. I am a hardworking member of the community who takes pride in the area in which I call home.
I look forward to meeting you in person and to faithfully serve on this valued community
board. (I understand that there is a meeting next week and I shall attend)
Thank-you for your consideration.
Yours truly, Margaret (Peggy) Woods

Special Use Request
June 28, 2016
TOWN OF WINTER PARK
Town Council
Applicant:
Location:
Winter Park Development Company, LLC
78337 US Highway 40
Special Use Permit Request – Owner’s Description
“A special use permit is being sought for a rock-crushing operation on the site of the Sitzmark South
mixed use development project. We estimate the site excavation operations can exhume roughly 23,000
cu.yd. of native material, which would then be mixed with other native material to generate 34,500 cu.yd.
of structural fill for use under structural features. The native and structural fill material would be
stockpiled at the NE and NW corners of the Sitzmark South project site. Given the anticipated high
volume of each product, there may be a need to stockpile some of each product on the nearby HECC
site. A two-stage hydraulic crusher, same as that used on the HECC site, will be onsite to reduce the
native material to a gravel product that when mixed with other material can yield Class 1 structural fill.
Creating this useful gravel product provides a sustainable solution to re-use native material thus saving
fuel and transportation cost associated with purchase of new components for structure fill. Crushing
operation can generate up to 1,000 tons of gravel product daily, while adhering to permitted hours of
operation. Our proposal requests a 40-day period to convert the 23,000 cu.yd. of native material to gravel
product, accounting for any potential stoppage time.”
Section 7-9-3-B Public Notice and Public Comment
A Public Notice was published in the Sky Hi Daily News on June 9, 2016 and sent to adjacent property
owners on June 13 providing notification of the meeting and requesting comments. The property was
posted on June 14.
No comments have been received concerning this request.
Section 7-9-3-C Proceedings at Hearing
The Council shall hear all persons interested in the matter. The applicant has the burden and shall offer
competent evidence in support of his application, which is sufficient to enable the Council to consider the
matter and to make findings on the subject. The applicant has the burden of presenting all necessary and
relevant information and evidence in support of his application or petition.
Title 7, Chapter 9 - Special Use Permit Procedures
The property is zoned DC and rock crushing/gravel operation would be considered a special use per
Section 7-5B-2B of the Town Code. In considering an application, the Council shall consider:
1. The health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Town.
2. The orderly development of the property in the Town.
3. The preservation of property values.

The protection of the tax base
The effect on the neighborhood.
The likelihood of a nuisance being created.
The effect on the master plan of the Town
Any other matters relevant to the inquiry.
A Special Use Permit shall not be granted unless the Council finds that:
1. The use is appropriate to the location, the lot and the neighborhood.
2. The use does not substantially change the character of the neighborhood.
Staff Comments
The applicant is requesting approval for a rock crushing operation at the north end of the Sitzmark South
property, to convert 46,000 tons of excavated river rock into 3” minus gravel. This material would be used
as structural fill on the property. The applicant believes this to be the most sustainable method of reusing
the large amount of river rock that will be exhumed from the site.
The time period that the applicant is requesting to complete the work is 40 days. They will provide the
Town with a dust control mitigation plan prior to operation and the Town will have the ability to shut down
operations if conditions warrant. If proper conditions are placed on the permit, staff feels this operation
could be allowed in the proposed location.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission reviewed the Special Use Permit on June 28 and recommended approval with
the conditions outlined in the staff recommendation. The Commission felt this operation would not be a
nuisance to surrounding property owners based on the location, and with the limited time period, it would
not substantially change the character of the neighborhood. The Commission was in favor of having the
material crushed on-site as it is more sustainable then the alternative, which is a large amount of truck
traffic that would be generated from hauling the rock off-site to be crushed and then returned.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the Town Council approve the Special Use Permit by adopting the following motion:
I move to approve the Special Use Permit with the following conditions:
1. The Special Use Permit is valid until August 15, 2016. The Town shall have the right to suspend the
Special Use Permit at any time upon investigation of complaints or non-compliance with the
conditions of the Special Use Permit.
2. The applicant shall be required to obtain any State permits and shall abide by their requirements.
3. Hours of operation shall be Monday – Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm. Equipment shall not be turned on
prior to 8:00am and must be shutdown prior to 5:00pm. No work is permitted on weekends or
holidays.

June 28, 2016
4. Work shall only occur on days when site and environmental conditions are appropriate. Wind
direction, precipitation, air and ground temperature, and other site conditions shall be monitored to
mitigate impacts of the rock crushing operation on neighboring properties and businesses.
5. A Dust Mitigation Plan shall be provided to the Town prior to operation. The plan shall identify steps
that will be taken to mitigate potential fugitive dust during the operation.
6. If excess material is left from this operation, the applicant shall be responsible for removing it or
providing a plan to store the material onsite. Any material being stored shall be revegetated in
conformance with Town Standards within one year of site disturbance.
7. Material may not be transferred from Sitzmark South to Headwaters Ecology and Community Center.
8. Screening shall be placed along the north property line to shield operations from the commercial
business and residential units.
9. The location of the rock crushing operation shall be more central to the project than currently shown.
It shall be located along the eastern property boundary.
10. Failure to comply with the conditions listed above may result in revocation of the special use permit as
described in Section 7-9-6 of the Winter Park Town Code.
11. Failure to comply with the conditions listed above shall constitute a zoning violation as described in
Section 7-10-6 of the Winter Park Town Code. Penalties as outlined in Section 7-10-7 of the Winter
Park Town Code shall be applicable. Each day during which violation occurs shall be deemed a
separate offense.
and I further move to instruct staff to prepare a resolution to this effect to be signed by the Mayor.
Alternative Motion
In the event the Town Council wishes to deny the Special Use Permit, staff recommends the Town
Council make the following motion:
I move to deny the Special Use Permit due to the following findings of fact:

Town of Winter Park Planning & Zoning Commission
50 Vasquez Rd. Winter Park, CO 80482
Attn: James Shockey, Town Planner
Mr. Shockey:
The Winter Park Development Co. (WPDC) project is progressing rapidly on the South Sitzmark property
site in Winter Park. Our project team is submitting a Special Use Permit application to your attention,
seeking approval for a rock crushing operation on site. The scope of the proposed operation is in the
application, and, one necessary component of this proposal is the documentation of a dust and noise
mitigation plan. Here is the site crew’s planned approach:
1. LOCATION OF OPERATIONS: NW corner of site just west of Baker Driver termination; (RE:
diagram issued w/ application)
2. HOURS and LENGTH OF OPERATIONS: Limited to hours between 8:00am – 5:00pm, with
operations subject to termination by Town of Winter Park officials. Length - 40 Days; converting
23,000 cu.yds. of native material to useful gravel product for use with other native materials to
create structural fill. The crushing operations can convert native material to gravel product at a
rate of 1,000 tons per day.
3. VISIBILITY: Site crew has proposed constructing a dirt berm around two-three sides of crushing
equipment to limit visibility of these operations from US Hwy 40 and buffer noise.
4. DUST MITIGATION: On excessively windy days, operations will be discontinued or shut down to
prevent rock dust migration off site. A water truck will be made available as a source for a water
vapor system creating mist to contain rock dust. Finally, the site crew will also work to
periodically mask any accumulated rock dust on the ground.
5. SOUND MITIGATION: Hours of operation being limited to 8:00am – 5:00pm would keep any
disturbance to within permitted time constraints imposed by local zoning codes and
enforcement. Dirt berms will be created around crushing equipment and anywhere native
materials or crushed product is to be staged on site.
6. MANNER OF OPERATIONS: The conversion of site-excavated native material to gravel product
for use in a structural fill product will include loaders bringing the original material to the
crusher from stockpiles. Once processed, loaders will take the gravel product to a new stockpile
area, located either at the NE or NW end of the site. Due to the large volume of material to be
excavated from the site, there may be a need to stockpile overflow material on the Headwaters
site at the north end of Baker Drive. Room is available on that site to temporarily store excess
material, and tracking mats would be placed at each end of Baker Drive before commencement.
We hope the Planning and Zoning Commission will find this information satisfactory, and WPDC will
work openly with Town officials to maintain operations efficiently and consistent with Town regulations.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Van Dusen

MEMORANDUM
To:
Town Council
From: Drew Nelson, Town Manager
Michael Koch, Transit Manager
Date: July 5, 2016
Re:
Proposal for Transit Software - RideHop
BACKGROUND
As part of the Town’s ongoing efforts to upgrade the Lift transit system, Town staff has identified an
opportunity to utilize existing technology to provide information more easily to the general public as well as
accumulate data regarding transit ridership. Staff’s search for smartphone software generally has focused
on hardware-intensive solutions that would add large, expensive GPS receivers in existing buses that would
allow for real-time bus routing display to riders and dispatch alike. However, the Town was approached by
a new software company – RideHop – with a proposal (attached) that would require less upfront expense
and investment while allowing deployment of the technology in a short timeframe.
ANALYSIS
As noted in the attached proposal, RideHop uses less expensive technology to provide real-time tracking
and information to riders. RideHop’s smartphone application utilizes the existing cellular network to connect
buses with dispatch and the general public at a much smaller cost than other on-the-shelf products. By
eliminating the GPS installation in busses, there is a sizeable cost savings and a quicker deployment time.
In addition, RideHop’s tech support system is much more robust than many competitors, as it is a subsidiary
of Quicken Loans.
RideHop’s technology would allow for cellular-accessible iPad devices to be carried by drivers on the
Town’s public transit busses. These iPads would be purchased by the Town through its existing Verizon
contract and could be deployed immediately, with an estimated cost of $7,200 for the entire fleet (which is
considerably less than competitors). RideHop’s annual service fee to supply information about the fleet
would be $16,200, which is also far less than other comparable applications. Total first-year costs would
be $23,410, with costs reducing in subsequent years.
The Transit Advisory Committee reviewed this proposal on June 20th and recommended acceptance of the
proposal to the Town Council. The transit budget does include funding for miscellaneous items, including
this technology. The RideHop service falls below the procurement level necessary for bid; however, Town
staff did reach out to three other companies offering rival services. No responses have been received at
this time.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Town Council accept the RideHop proposal by adopting the following motion:
I move to accept the proposal from RideHop to procure transit ridership software and further instruct Town
staff to prepare a Professional Services Contract and Resolution to this effect for signature by the Mayor.
Alternative Motion
In the event the Town Council wishes to reject the RideHop proposal, staff recommends the Town Council
make the following motion:
I move to reject the RideHop proposal to procure transit ridership software due to the following findings of
fact:

PROPOSAL

(313) 545 - 8451
For:
The Town of Winter Park, Colorado
5/30/2016
Project Background
During the peak months of November-April, The Lift moves around 460,000 people. Approximately
95% of these riders are tourists shared between Fraser, Grand County, Winter Park and Winter Park
Resort.
The Lift operates in both Fixed Route and On-Demand Modes and changes the service model based on
time of day and season (Winter – Resort Ops., Winter – Night service, Summer – Mid Afternoon
service)
Due to the variable nature of shuttle transportation timing, schedule adherence can be challenging –
which can cause customer dissatisfaction and create the potential for more vehicles on the road
looking for parking spaces, instead of more passengers utilizing shared shuttle transportation.
Through a partnership with RideHop, The Lift will be able to provide accurate and reliable information
to passengers, increase customer satisfaction and increase rider buy-in in shared transportation –
thereby reducing vehicles on the road.
The Lift will also be able to promote local businesses through the RideHop app via targeted
advertising. This will potentially allow The Ride to monetize RideHop to offset a portion of operational
overhead and create a positive economic impact.
