Gentleqen:
Ttre wtitet of this letter owned the eubject propeEty referred to
above fron 1980 to 1994, 6oue 15 years. I preeeatly osn Ebe EaBtIlalf of Lot 5, Bighotn Estares (4289 Nugget LaEe), Ehe torrrhouseuuit iquediately llest of subject propetty. I have owned rhie unitsiuce the early 8O'e.
This letter ie writt,en in opposition to the proposed conrructl.onof a terrace and pathway fE?ili5E-i.ng to Ehe propoeei terrac" to belocated between 4295 Nugget Laae and Gore Creek.
Ttte reasons for my oppoeltion:
1- Eistorically, aud by "reg6" man-made devolopuent Dear CoEeCteek euch as is planned by the proposed terface, violaEes rhe
concepts of procection of the pristine and natural environment of
Gore Creek. Protection of this natulal stete is oue of the true
aEEets of tbe Vail area, especially in Eaet Vail and alorrg GoreCreek. I
I2. The terrace could be a violation bf che privaey of propetty
ownera adjacent to the conEruction, aE wFLl ae tho8e acrosE theCreek.
i
I3. Construction qf the propoeed terrbce and walkway willrequire the movement of great anounEs of soil and bouldere to
aciormodate an 19'x !2' Eerrace because of the "benchiug" requiredto create a flat area to bold tbe tertace and walkway. I1re pitchfrou the patio deck of 4295 Nugget Lane to the flat area adjaceutto Gore Creek is quite Eteep. Thie pitch will require beuching to

hold the walkray and terrace. Surely there'is no iarention ofbuildlng the terEsce in the flat area next to Gore Creek itself.Tbat shoul.d be absolutely forbidden,

Geat,lemen:
This lertet is a follow-up to Ey lerrer to you dated Jan.. 24, 2000.with additional r.nforuation thar, r oveflooked in connectiorr wirh mysEateuent of oppoeition to the proposed coa6Eruction of the pathwaiand terrace betweeu the North deck and Gore Creek at the aboveaddrees.
9ou p! the arguoeutc that I made, was the soil depth ie very ehalLowin chie a!ea.
0u October 31, 1997, a freak wind coupletely toppled appreximarely15 l"arge pines berween Gore Creek and-rbe house.- Ttre iiin reaeou-tbe tteec blew over, ia tbat the root Eystem is more borl-zontaland shal.l.ow, instead of being deep, because of tbe rock and bouldersso close to the surface. The root eysteu has uo place to go exceprhorizoatally.
!{e plauted a large nunber of pines and aspen ar both places (4295 &42E9 Nugget Lene) and in mosr cageg a congiderable poition of theroot ball was still above grouud,
