The goals oft the business park are:  Deepening the capacity of existing businesses, programs, and enterprises fueled by a partnership with the Chaffee County Economic Development Corporation.

They have also done multiple projects in the front range and Colorado Springs. Andy Arnold, with Pioneer Development Company, stated he and his firm evaluated the proposed project's financial and economic sustainability impacts on the town. Arnold said they reviewed every development aspect and determined the projected tax revenue over 25 years Call reviewed that the 30-acre property is designated as an opportunity zone, a federal program created in 2017 intended to spur economic development in specific geographic regions. The program encourages long-term private investments that otherwise may not be economicallyviable. A 10-year minimum investment timeline exists to receive tax benefits, aligning the developer with the community. The program expires in 2026, and many municipalities in a qualified opportunity zone are recruiting investments before the program ends. Call stated they are on a very tight timeline since they must improve the property with Teipel reviewed the business park site plan, which is projected to be completed in three phases over ten years. Phase One focuses on the construction of the self-storage units. Phase Two and Phase Three include a proposed brewery, community building, light manufacturing, medical offices, retail spaces for a grocery, building materials, automotive services, and live- Teipel reviewed Topside, which will utilize the Upper Arkansas Water Conservancy District (UAWCD) augmentation certificates and has received a will serve capacity and use confirmation from UAWCD. The town can amend the current agreement with UAWCD, or Dormie Capital can purchase the water directly from UAWCD. The initial Water Demand Report calculated that 102 SFES are needed for the project based on Elevation Brewery's water use in Poncha Springs. Town staff recommended increasing the number to 140 SFES (20 acre- feet) based on preliminary estimates, which Topside has agreed to utilize 140 SFES as a cap for the development, understanding that additional water would need to be purchased if exceeded. Landscaping would be a drip system with minimal landscaping, and no water for this Teipel said that with the development of the Topside Business Park, traffic will increase in the area, and the traffic study completed by Apex Consulting Engineers was reviewed.  to $13,223,000 in sales tax and $26,891,488 in property tax revenue.  real construction dollars within 30 months ofpurchase.  work units dedicated to housing employees working ini the business park.  project will drawn from the existing town water portfolio.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF1 THE TOWNO OFE BUENAL VISTA  Page 6of14 February: 27, 2024  Regular Meeting    Teipel stated that many decisions regarding the Annexation Policy are needed and recommended that the Public Hearing be scheduled to a date specific to allow staff and the Topside Team to develop an acceptable agreement acceptable to all parties. Principal Planner Joel Benson reviewed the Trustee's needs to determine if the property is eligible for annexation according to the criteria. Ifiti is eligible, adopt Resolution No. 19 and then decide whether to annex the property by approving Ordinance No. 06, adopting the Benson reviewed the project, which is a 30-acre parcel southeast of town to be designated Industrial and MU-2 Zoning. The conceptual plans include 600 storage units, al brewery, a 4-5 acre space for an unidentified anchor tenant, larger retail, office, medical, or other spaces, and live-work units. The developer has proposed to bring UAWCD augmentation certificates. Benson reviewed the following points for the Board to consider when making a decision. Traffic study assumptions, 9800 vehicle trips per day, the Level of Service at Baylor Emergency Services Several people have brought up the location of the Police, Fire, and Medical Center and the relationship with Baylor and Railroad intersection Water- how much, the timing oft the acquisition, proposed payment plan, distribution, fire flow, infrastructure (there has been no formal evaluation by the Town Status of additional Water Augmentation Certificates, attorney and engineer review, Zoning, uses, layout, connectivity, etc., have not had any conversation Staff capacity and requisite timing of necessary entitlements due to demands oft the  Topside Annexation agreement.  and Railroad and.

Trustee Hylton-Hinga feels that additional questions must be asked and that the development is not thoroughly fleshed out. He would have liked the Topside presentation to include comments from the Police Department and Chaffee County Fire Protection District, stating that development would not impact providing services. Trustee Hylton-Hinga would have liked to have seen public engagement with the community seeking input on the project. Trustee Hylton-Hinga stated he respects Dormie Capital Partners' timeline but is uncomfortable with saying yes or yes with conditions since multiple facets of Trustee Cobb expressed her concerns about increased traffic and the potential unknown infrastructure costs to the town.

Trustee Cobb said she had reviewed the data and could not find information on current traffic counts to make a comparison. The Topside team stated they would provide the information to Trustee Cobb stated she feels there has been minimal discussion between the Trustees and Topside on the development configuration and would have been interested in exploring the option ofi including a senior center and/or childcare center. Trustee Cobb stated there had been no input from community members and asked if Topside was open to having session(s) to receive feedback from the community. Teipel stated they are interested ini input from the Board and the community, but due to the timeline and the capital at stake, the whole project cannot bear the burden of fleshing out every single detail before the annexation takes place. Cobb said she understands the tight timeline the developers are on due to being an opportunity zone, but this is the Board's best opportunity to make sure they are gettingwhat The Trustees held a lengthy discussion, asking questions and expressing concerns about the impacts of increased traffic, the unknown costs of building and maintaining streets, and the Trustee Rice expressed concern with the validity of the traffic study. The studyi is based on County Station 239 in Center, Colorado, not Count Station 219 in. Johnson Village.

Mayor Fay opened Public Comment at 9:11 PM.  Jeff Keidel, 209 South Colorado Avenue, Buena Vista, said he supports the plan in general, however, he has concerns with impacts on traffic impacts and ifai traffic signal will be needed at Steele and Highway 285 since it will change the overall feel of the area. The location involves railroad property, which complicates the process. According to the Three-Mile Plan, that section of the highway is designated as an open space and wildlife corridor. Jenny Depew, 28337 County Road 313, Buena Vista, property owner next to the proposed annexation, said she likes the idea of a live work housing opportunity, however, it may not be what the community needs now. Depew likes the proposed open space, maker space, and community building but is concerned about how a chain restaurant and/or business may impact local businesses. Depew also discussed the risk of accidents at the blind curve by the  main entrance. Overall, shei thinks it is a great plan.  BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF1 THE TOWN OFE BUENA VISTA  Page 8of14 February: 27,2024  Regular Meeting    Mark. Jenkins, 314 South San Juan, Buena Vista, encouraged the Board to support the annexation, providing long-term growth and economic development. The developments meet the goals outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and the Three Mille Plan, providing a year-round Mark Doering, the property owner of 539 Arizona Street, supports the annexation of the property, although he feels there are challenges with connecting the roads from Antero Circle and Monarch Court that would require the condemnation of private property to develop Topside. There is no requirement for stubbing out utilities and streets to adjoining properties to the south, east, and west. Doering expressed concerns about the proposed zone districts and encouraged staff to reference the Three Mile Plan and Chaffee County Comprehensive Phil Smith, owner of Steel Strike Leather Products located at 27940 County Road 313, and property owner of 103 Monarch Court, Buena Vista, stated he is all fori the project but has concerns about water, water pressure, and the sewer line that runs through his property that the Topside Business Park would have to tap into. Smith wants to ensure the development is handled correctly to avoid issues he has encountered with Fading West, such as blowing trash and water runoff. Smith also expressed concern about traffic at the Baylor and Railroad Chris Stromer, 28315 County Road 313, Buena Vista, stated he likes to see the town grow and appreciates the project's forward thinking. Stomer stated he likes the idea of live work housing since the availability of affordable homes to rent or buy is very minimal. As a resident near the proposed property, he is not excited about losing his views or the proposed access to the business park that would run along the south side of his property. Stromer feels the traffic issues at Baylor and Railroad and Steele and Highway 285 should be addressed in Phase One of the project, and traffic signals should be installed before any construction is started on the  tax base.
