Dear Peter:
Thank you for your continued effort to cooperate with our CasolarVail Homeowners Association. I have received your letter datedApril 7, 1981 regarding the Gallagher Residence and submit this
statement of position for your consjderatjon.
Firstly, the dwelling unit has been acknowledged to be larger
than allowed in our Declarations fron the beginning (352 squarefeet Iarger approx'imately). This statement comes from previousletters sent from your office.
Secondlyo the extra square footage being applied for is an
additional violation of our Declarations.
Thirdly, the fact that the administration and enforeement of
these Declarations is somewhat in question, we the Board of Diree-tors, are extremely opposed to any such expansions for fear of
diminishing the rights of other Casolar Vail owners. In the past,it has been stated that the original deve'loper and the zoning
administrator for the Town of Viil jointly irepared th various
documents by which we stjl1 operate. In these documentso isclearly stated the 1,690 square foot limitation for each dwellingunit. Until we are able to reach a mutual agreement for the
usage of the square footage al1owed in Casolar Vail, vre fee'l itis very important to abide by the original conditjons under which
the entire subdivision was developed,

l"tr. Charles Gallagher
Vail., Colorado 81657
Dear Mr, Gallagher,
This letter is to inforrn you officially that your residence recently purchased
fron Duane Carling is in violation of both the Building and loning Codes
of the Town of Vail, The area in violation is the recreation room on the
lowest,level of the house.
ns you are aware, we recently had extensive discussions at the Town offices
witir ur. Carling concerning ih" rpac" in question. At that tirne, Steve
Patterson, Chief Building official and I specifically told [|r. Carling and
his attorney, Ed Drager, that the space was illegal as it existed. It was
illegal because the house is at its rnaxj.srum atlowbble 6ross Residentj,al Floor
Area (GRFA) and the workshop and other basernent areas were not approved by
the Tor,m cf Vail as living area. Our agreernent at that titne was to block
off access to the then workshop area along with sone other ninor changes
in the nectranical robn. My recollection of t.he specifics of our agreement
is foggy at this ti.me, and I havenit as yet been able to locate written
docunentation of that agreenent .
The gist of it is that Mr. Carling was fully aware of the illegalities of
the space and of the restrictions that we irnposed upon the area. Understandably,
I was shocked to hear of your circumstance in that the area now is a fu11y
conpleted recxeation Toon, Whil.e syrnpathizing with your situation as far
as economics and ignorance of past proceedings, I cannot allow the space
.to continue to exist as is without a proper approval from the Town.
Proper approval would consist of a glanting of a variance by the Planning
.and Environnent a1 Cornmission, I'his process is open to you. It consists
of filling out a variance request forn in thc Comnunity Developrnent office.
Thp variance is a GRFA Variance and we will require previousLy approved plans
for the structure, proposed plan, and a writtel| statement frorrr you concerning
vrhy you feel the variance should be granterl, If the Planning and Environmental
Coranission denies your request, you rnay appeal that decisio$ to the Toittl
Council.
I took for-r+ard to our yneeting this Friday and hope I can be of furtlrer
assistance in finding a nutually agret:able decision to this problcn'

Dear Mr. Patterson:
The irreguLarities and possible code violations and
Caaolar Del Norte Declaration violations relating toI"ot L4, Casolar DeI Norte Phase 2, owned by Carling-
McKee Construction and constructed by the Carling-McKeepartnership, are matters which the Tor,rn of VaiI may wishto consider in determining whether a certificate of
occupancy should or should not be issued for either the
\dest or the east side of Lot 14 until aLl issuea and
matters contained in these enclosures have been corrected
and resoLved,
We are informed by staff that the Design Review Boardwill apparently not approve our plans for Lots 13 and 15
until the j.ssues contained in these enclosures affectingtot 14 and our Lots 13 and 15 are resolved, accomplishedor corrected.
Enclosed are copies of a lawsuit and tis Pendens r^rhiclt
have been filed against Lot 14 and the CarLing-McKee
eompanies and others. The lawsuit and Lis Pendens areself explanatory.
AIso enclosed are copies of Letters written to Carling-
McKeets attorney, Mr. Ed Drager, explaining in detail allirregularities, improprieties, possible code violations,
Casolar Del Norte Declaration violations' and darnages to
our adjoining properties, Lots 15, 13 and 12.
ft is very guestionabLe in my mind that an adminlstrative
body such as the Town of Vail would issue a certificate of
occupancy to a building or owner involved in all or part.
of the items, issues, violatlons and improprleties eon-
tained in these enclosures until all such issues have been
corrected and resolved.

Mr. Charles Gallagher
Vail-, Colorado 81657
Dear Mr, Gallagher,
This lctter is to inform you officially that your residence recently purchased
frorn Duane Carling is in violation of both the Building and Zoning Codes
of the Town of VaiI. The area in violation is the recreation room on the
lowest, 1eve1 of the housc.
As you are aware, we recently had extensive discussions at the Town offices
with lrlr. Carling concerning the space in question, At that tine, St-eve
Patterson, Chief Buifding official and I specifically told Mr, Carli.ng and
his attorney, Ed Drager, that the space was illegal as it existed. It was
il1ega1 because the house is at its maximutn allowdble Gross Residential Floor
Area (GRFA) and the workshop and other basement arcas were not approved by
the Tom of Vait as living area. Our agreenent at that time was to block
off access to the then workshop area along wlth sone other minor changes
in the rnechanical room, My recollection of the specifics of our agleenent
i.s foggy at this timc, and I haven't as yet been able to locate written
docunrentation of that agreement .
The gist of it is that Mr. carling rvas ful Iy awarre of the illegalities of
the spacc and of the restriction-s that r.;e inposcd upon thc area. Understanclab ly,
I r,r,a s shocked to hear of your circumstance in that the arca now i-s a ful ly
completed recreation room. llhilc syrnliathizing with your situation as far
as econornics and ignorance of past proceedings, I can.not allow the space
.to continue to exist as is withcut a propcl' approval from the Tov'rt.
Proper approval would consist of a gxanting of a variance by the Pl:rnning
. and En.ri::onTnent a1 Corrr.nis s ion. Tiris p'rocess is open to )'ou. It consists
of f il l|ng out- a vari-ance reqlrest forn iri thc Cottuirrrnity DL-velopment office.
The Vari.ance is a Gltl:A Variancc anrl wc-. ivi 1 i reqtt,i:ce pre'ri ous 1y approvcd plans
