The Dillon Town Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing Tuesday, March 19, on plans to redevelop several waterfront properties into a building with 200 condominium units, three restaurants and retail space.

Developer Jake Porritt has submitted the plans for the five-story, 485,000-square-foot structure proposed for the site where the Best Western and now-defunct Arapahoe Cafe now stand. According to an agenda for the Tuesday meeting, the council will consider a second reading of an ordinance to approve the development application for the proposed project.

A staff memo included in the agenda packet describes the project at 153 and 223 W. La Bonte Street and 626 and 652 Lake Dillon Drive as “branded residences.” The one-, two- and three-bedroom condominium units will be sold to private investors for use as secondary residences while managed for short-term rentals by a brand operator, such as a leading hotel company, according to the memo.

The proposed project will include a landscape plaza, a common terrace, outdoor seating and dining, and an observation tower, the memo states. It also includes private amenities such as a pool, fitness room, a residential lobby, a party room and a green rooftop terrace.

One of the three proposed restaurants will be a rooftop restaurant and bar overlooking the Dillon Reservoir and the Ten Mile Range, according to the staff memo. About 21,600 square feet of retail space is planned along with a two-level parking structure that will provide 484 parking spaces beneath the development.

Amid public pushback, the Dillon Planning Commission last month voted 3-2 to recommend that the town council approve the planned unit development agreement for the branded residences project.

During that planning commission meeting, some members of the public raised concerns about the size of the building, the potential for it to block views of the waterfront for other residences in town and the lack of housing units for long-term working residents.

Dillon Town Council member Dana Christiansen has recused himself from all council discussions, hearings and votes related to the development application to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, according to a letter in the March 19 agenda packet.

When the town council voted at its March 5 meeting to schedule the upcoming public hearing on the project, Mayor Caroyln Skowyra explained that the town council is not supposed to form opinions related to the project before the hearing, “so that we can give the applicant a fair hearing.”
