Any posted notice shall be legible from a public street or public right-of-way in clear weather conditions. "Legible" is defined as meeting the legibility requirements in the Estes Park Municipal Code Chapter 17.66 (Signs).

Projects abutting more than one public street or public right-of-way shall be required to post one (1) additional sign for each abutting public street or public right-of-way.

Posting of all notice(s) required by this Section shall take place no later than ten (10) days prior to any given neighborhood and community meeting for which the posting is required, and the posted signage shall remain until the close of any such neighborhood and community meeting, including the closing dates of any neighborhood and community meeting that may be continued or postponed.

e)

Removal, damage or destruction of a properly posted notice by weather or other natural occurrence shall not be construed as failure to comply with the public notice provisions of this Code.

As of 12/12/2022 there's been no public posting of the meeting per items A,B,C, and therefore no proof of D can be provided.

The following petitioners are requesting the meeting be postponed until January 19, 2023, as the applicant has not followed appropriate procedures as outlined in the current Development Code. Meetings held during the Holidays will not allow the community the ability to participate in meetings.
