Town of Breckenridge Date 06/05/2012 Planning Commission – Regular Meeting Page 1 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING TOWN COUNCIL REPORT: Mr. Gary Gallagher, Town Council Liaison, presented. • Town Council had an all-day retreat last Tuesday o Financial: Revenue for town is down about $4.5 million o Size of Town’s Fund Balance: $62 million ($4 to $5 million is legally restricted); decisions will be made determining where the $17 million will go o Street Lights/Snow Removal: Could we do a better job (streets/sidewalks)? o Arts District/River Walk Center Master Plan: Program elements, business plans. Council is very supportive of getting Arts District done potentially within the next 3-5 years; potentially looking into other assets of town (ice-rink, etc.). We may follow the Heritage Alliance model for operations of the Arts District. • Admissions Tax: Has been taken off the table; studies are still on-going regarding transit system/Ski Area; consolidation of functions/operations? • Term Limit Ballot Initiative: Decision was made to not put a term limit initiative on the November election; two 4-year terms is sufficient enough (4/3 split votes from Town Council members). • Childcare (November 2013): Focusing on what the deficit would be for operations (scholarships; what families can afford to pay vs. cost to pay teachers, etc.); potentially could be funded through sales tax vs. real-estate tax? Can’t forget capital reserves; do we have a significant amount to do this? Want voters to make decisions and want them to have a sustainable revenue source. Key will be to get the business community behind us. WORKSESSIONS: 1. Energy Policy 33/R Modification (Existing Structures) (JP) Ms. Puester presented. In January 2011, the Town Council approved an amendment to Policy 33R Energy Conservation which quantifies the amount of energy being conserved and allocates positive points accordingly. This was accomplished using a home energy rating system (HERS) for residential development and a similar method for commercial development. The advantage of these systems is that they are internationally recognized by certified raters (as established by the Residential Energy Services Network). The results are calculated and measurable. While the code language has worked well for development applications consisting of new construction, it has not been useful for existing structures. New construction starts from scratch, and can take advantage of new materials installed such that there are no major air leaks and new windows, creating a tight building envelope. Existing structures, however, have aged over time. The materials and construction methods used on older structures also lack many advanced building techniques that we see today. When the policy was written it was not the intent to exclude energy improvements on existing structures from receiving positive points. It is important that the Town encourage existing structures to make strides toward energy efficiency and conservation. Staff’s concern is that as currently written, the policy does not easily allow for properties looking to remodel or expand to receive any benefit for these efforts. To address this issue, staff presented a draft modification to Policy 33R. This change would modify the way positive points are awarded for existing structures undergoing energy improvements. Points would be based on the percentage change of the HERS index of the existing structure from before to after improvements have been made. A similar change is proposed for existing commercial uses, mixed use, and residential buildings over 3 stories in height (which is the maximum height of the HERS system). In this case, positive points would be based on the projected energy savings by comparing the existing structure to the proposed remodeled structure (with improvements included). -5- Town of Breckenridge Date 06/05/2012 Planning Commission – Regular Meeting Page 2 Staff has proposed a draft policy with the following highlights of changes: • Residential HERS rating: Projected energy savings beyond the existing structure’s energy consumption history, based on percentage improvement. • International Energy Code (IECC): Projected energy savings beyond the existing structure’s energy consumption history, based on percentage improvement. • Clarification on HERS and IECC analysis submittal timing. These must be submitted for review with the development permit application and building permit application. Each analysis must be performed by a certified HERS rater, or a licensed Colorado Engineer, respectively. • Detailed description of required information for commercial structures (for clarification to applicants).
