Subject: Vail Gateway, Suite 300
Dear Mr. Ruther
This is to confirm that the Vail Gateway Condominium Association is strongly opposed to having a wet lab as a tenant in
our building. This lab is under construction in violation of numerous condo docs, rules and regulations for our association.
The owner refused to provide our manager with a copy of the lease and it is only by his investigation that we discovered
that the Town of Vail approved this wet lab where we believe body parts will be used in conjunction with a teaching facility.
Since the owner and the proposed tenant will not talk to us, we are putting the pieces together to gather this information.
Wet labs by definition involve the use of chemicals, drugs, biological matter and some types of biological hazards. This is
not something the Town of Vail should approve in a high end commercial and residential building. I can only imagine the
effect of this on the Kelly Liken restaurant when it becomes known. Also the venting of this lab will be in very close
proximity to the Vail Plaza Hotel.
This use is totally incompatible with our building and the neighboring building. The building permit issued by the Town of
Vail without any notice to our association should be revoked.
The loss of value to the owners in this building will be dramatic. Who would want to buy a condo in a building with this
type of work going on.Who would want to go to a fine dining restaurant in close proximity to a wet lab dealing with
cadaver parts and possibly toxic substances. Normally wet labs are in buildings specifically designed to house them per
Wikipedia.
Very Truly Yours
Charles R. Lipcon
President
