I I I I I J31139 Lead Agency: Town of Estes park/ Federal Emergency.Manage- ment Agency Financing: Federal Emergency Management Agency Schedule: Within 10 days 4. Work Element: Relocate, if feasible, the entrance road in the Fall River Mobil~ Horne Village and do not replace the existing damaged bridge. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Background: Fall River Mobile Horne Village was heavily damaged by flood inundation including the loss of approximately 26 mobile homes. A relocation of this entrance road would eliminate a struct- ure across Fall River. (Another existing entrance to the mobile home park is located out of the floodplain). Fall River Village is required by the Town of Estes Park to submit a compre- hensive plan for rehabilitation of the park prior to the issuance of a building permit. Lead Agency: Town of Estes Park Financing: Under Investigation Schedule: On-going 5. Work Element: Promote to the extent possible and practicable, the development of a river front area for the use and pleasure of residents and visitors. Background: Such an area could function as an effective flood storm drainage detention area, and help to minimize property damage. Its nonstructural development could redeem and improve the econ- omic vitality of Estes Park by providing within its Central Business District a focal point of interest and attraction compatible with the surrounding natural beauty of the Rocky Mountain National Park. At various times in the past, studies have been done for Estes Park with a focus on im- proving the Town's image and economic vitality. Most of these studies have emphasized the de- velopment of high quality pedestrian areas locat- ed around, and having the effect of "recaptur- ing" the beauty and attractiveness of the Town's rivers. The flood of July 15, 1982 and consequent damages provide a special opportunity to acquire land and flood-prone structures thus enabling the advancement of those studies and plans. 16
