<br />, <br /> <br />111-2 <br /> <br />Since many of the,buildings are noW used during warm weather only, seasonal <br /> <br /> <br />use was assumed for the basic tap unit. In similar communities, overall <br /> <br /> <br />costs (operation, maintenance, and capital) of water and Sewer utilities <br /> <br /> <br />have been found to be about 25 percent to 30 percent less for seasonal use <br /> <br /> <br />only. Therefore, a factor of 1.25 has been assumed for use with year-round <br /> <br /> <br />residences at Allenspark. This factor would apply to service charges, not <br /> <br /> <br />tap fees (which are primarily considered as capital income). <br /> <br />A summary of existing development within the proposed District area is given <br />in Table III-B. <br /> <br />TABLE III-B <br /> <br />EXISTING ALLEN SPARK DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br /> Type Unit No. No. EQR Taps <br /> Single-Fami ly, seasonal 65 65 <br /> Single-Family, all-year 40 50 <br /> Motels - Cabins 3 6 <br /> Restaurants 3 5 <br />, Filling Stations 2 3 <br /> Public Buildings 4 4 <br /> (Schools, churches, etc. ) <br /> <br />133 <br />The 1974 assessed valuation within the proposed District area is $292,700. <br /> <br />POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />The majority of all development in the area is open space recreation oriented. <br /> <br /> <br />This is true for the privately owned and used seasonal residences as well as <br /> <br /> <br />for commercial development. The general Allenspark area provides for hunting, <br /> <br /> <br />camping, fishing, and other mountain activities. Some continued growth of the <br /> <br /> <br />area can be expected (assuming that the utilities problems can be solved), par- <br /> <br /> <br />alleling the general trend in the Colorado out-of-door and recreation industry. <br /> <br /> <br />There is a trend towards year-round occupancy with increased usage as retire- <br /> <br /> <br />ment homes. <br /> <br />= <br />
