Page I Page 4 Page 2 Page I J J 5 6 22 L INTRODUCTION: The Vail Mountain School is located at 3160 Katsos Ranch Road, in Vail, Colorado. The school is considering the future use of Tract d south of Bald Mountain Road in East Vail for a potential recreation tJA. fne property is located in the southwest % of Section} and the southeast % of Section 3, Township S South and Range 80 West. Watershed Environmental Consultants, Inc. (WEC) reviewed thl site for the presence of wetlands on the property in November 2O02 at the request of the Vail N{ountain School. Braun Associates, Inc., P.O. Box 2658, Edwards, CO 81632 are the planners on the project. tr. DESCRIPTTON OF STUDY ARtrA: The site is located on the alluvial terrace of Booth and Gore Creeks with an approximate elevation of 8,300 feet above sea level. The general topography is gently sloping to the south. There has been some land alteration for road grading along the northeast property boundary. Several culverts opening to the property have been installed under Bald Mountain Road. A gully has been formed through the approximate property center, running from north to south. R water diversion originating from the ephemeral drainage on the steep hillside to the north formed this gully. Water has once again been diverted away from this location and the gully is primarily vegetated with upland grasses such as orchard grar;s (Daclylis glomerala) and smooth brome (Bromus inermis). Soils in the gully were not identified to be hydric' A hillside in the south central portion of the property has been graded, Additional earth moving was observed befween wetland plots D and E. A small channel, approximately 2 feet deep and 2 feet wide, was excavated. This channel was most probably excavated to drain excess water from wetland D and divert it to the large culvert along the southern property boundary, which crosses under Highway 70. The Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) did not map the soils in this region. The soils of the area were primarily ficrmed in mixed alluvium and glacial gravel at the mouth of Booth Creek. The surface soils have been somewhat disturbed and are composed of well- drained, generally stable unconsolidated material. Field observation revealed a mostly cobbly loam and cobbly sandy loam texture throughout the soil profile. Climatic data for the project site is unavailable, however, values have been obtained at station CO0909, Breckenridge, elevation 9,580 feet, located approximately 17 miles, straightJine distance, southeast ofthe project site. The recorded mean annual precipitation is 19.58 inches and the mean annual temperature is 35.5o F, both values were averaged over 29 years of record (National Climatic Data Centeq 1999). Precipitation is relatively evenly distributed throughout the year, with slightly higher amounts occurring in late summer and autumn. The growing season, days with the low tsmperature above 32" F, is less than 90 days. Range grasses and forbs characterize the flora. Cool season grasses such as western wheatgrass (Agropyron snithii), smooth brome (Bromus inermis) and orchard grass ()actylis glomerala\ Contour Interval : 20 feet Figure l. Project location map. dominate the vegetation. Forbs observed on the site include western yarrow (Achitleg mitlefolium) and black sagebrush (Arlemisia nova). Some disturbed areas contain musk thistle (Cardaus nutans) and houndstongue (Cynoglossum fficinale). III. METHODS: Wetlands were evaluated by employing procedures described in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Wetlands Delineation Manual (1937). A routine on-site inspection for wetland areas equal to or less than 5 acres in size was conducted in November, 2002. Snow varying in depth from 0 to 4 inches covered the project site at the time of the visit. Snow was removed from the wetland to determine plant species presence, soil, and hydrologic conditions. Wetland boundaries were based on the prevalence of hydrophyic vegetatiorq hydric soils, and indicators of wetland hydrology. Field forms for the vegetation, soils, and hydrology are included in Appendix A. Table 1 lists the dominant vegetation observed on the project site. Wetland plant status follows that established by Reed (1988). TV. R.ESULTS: WEC identified and delineated waters of the U.S., including wetlands, in five distinct areas throughout the project site. These areas are identified as Area A B, C, D, and E. Each was identified in the field with flaeging labeled alphanumerically (i.e, A1, A2, etc.). AII field flagging was surveyed by Eagle Valley Surveying and plotted on tbe attached mapping Area d identified on the enclosed map as points Al through A48 is supported by water inputs from two culverts originating from the north of Bald Mountain Road. One culvert is located between points Al and A48, and the other culvert is located between points A29 and A30. There are two somewhat well defined channels originating at the culverts that flow into a relatively flat willow (Salix spp.) stand. Both drainages had some (<1 cfs) water in them at the time of the visit. The wetland/upland boundary was based upon changes in dominant vegetation and soil characteristics. The dominant hydrophytic vegetation within wetland Area A includes: planeleaf willow (Salix planifolia), mountain willow (Salix monticola), redtop (Agrostis stolonrfera). Upland vegetation observed along the wetland boundary and within the wetlands includes: brome species (Bromus qpp.), timothy (Phleum pratense), and orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata). Soils within Area A consist mostly of black (IOYR 2/l) cobbly loam and cobbly sandy loam. Wetland Area A is classified as emergent and mostly shrub-scrub habitat. Area B, identified on the enclosed map as points Bl through B14 is an isolated emergent and shrub-scrub wetland located on the northem portion of the property. The wetland boundary was drawn along a change in vegetation and soils. Dominant hydrophytic vegetation of this wetland area consists of planeleaf willow (Saiix planifolia), mountain willow (Salix monticola), redtop (Agrostis stolonifera), and cow parsnip (Heracleum mmimum). Dominant vegetation of the adjacent upland areas consists of timothy (Phleum pralense) and orchard grass (Daclylis glo."rato) The soils of Area B, to a depth of 14 inches below the surface were black (7.5YR 2.5/l) cobbly loam. Area C (Cl - C3) is very similar to the isolated Area B wetland. Area C is a relatively small wetland mostly composed of planeleaf willow (Salix planifolia) and mountain willow (Salix monticola). The soils consisted of very dark gray (IOYR 3/l) sandy loam. The Area D (Dl - Dl0) wetland is located in the bottom of a natural drainage swale that has been significantly altered by grading for Bald Mountain Road and by homes located to the north of the ioad. This wetland is supported by water from a culvert located approximately l0 feet west of point D10 and by some runoff water from the road. The dominant wetland vegetation includes willow (Sa/rx spp.) md redtop (/groslis stolon{era). Adjacent uplands support orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) and timothy (Phleum pratense). Soils observed within Area D consist of very dark brown (7.5 YR 2.5/2)loarn. Wetland Area E (El - E6) is located on the uphill side of a large culvert that passes under Highway 70. The wetland boundary is drawn along a distinct change in vegetation. The dominant wetland vegetation consists of willow (Salix ryp.) and associated grasses. The soils within Area E were dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) cobbly sandy loam. Area E wetland most probably continues to the south of the property; however, this was not verified because of an existing chainlink fence. A small channel, approximately 2 feet deep and wide exists between wetland Areas D and E. This channel was most probably excavated to drain excess water form wetland D and divert it to the large culvert south ofwetland Area E The channel contains upland vegetation such as black sagebrush (Artemisia nova), smooth brome (Bromus inermis), slender wheatgrass (Agropyron trachycavlum) and musk thistle (Cmduus mtlans). The soils observed in the excavated channel were not hydric.

CONCLUSION: This wetland delineation has not been verified by the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) For Corps verification, this report and associated mapping should be forwarded to: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Westem Colorado Field Office 402 Rood Avenue. No. 142 Grand Junctioq CO 81501 Attn: Mark Gilfillan. 970.243.1199 Due to winter conditions during the time of the visit, the Corps may require field resonance in the spring to veri! the established wetland boundaries. The Corps has jurisdiction over activities, which have or will impact the identified jurisdictional areas under Seition 404 of the Clean Water Act. Any activity impacting these areas would require prior Corps approval. The identified jurisdictional wetlands should be avoided by development if possible or mitigated if impacted. if n.""r*ry, mitigation alternatives include on-site wetland creatiorq mitigation banking, or contributions to wetland trust funds. Some further examples of mitigatiojr that might be appiopriate if necessary are reducing the size of the project or establishing buffer zones to protect aquatic resources. VI.

Landscaping/revegetation requirements for noise mitigation bemrs vary from other landscape requirements in the town of Vail. l.) Any berm constructed in the Town of Vail should have an undulating top ridge and side slopes changing at certain irregular intervals along its length that mimiot the natural variation exhibited by ridgelines and valley walls in an alpine environment. ^ 2) Berms-should likewise be landscaped and set so that the base is curvilinearfund ' l. . aligned.to avoid the appearance of being a linear pile. "attr- 3 .) The grade of any berm in the town of Vail should not be steeper than 3 $t ^ypoint measured along its side slope. Overall grade (heighVlength) of ab-erm may exceed 3:1 by using intermediate retaining walls of boulders or other materials. A11 retaining walls shall comply with all applicable town of Vail standards and euidelines. All berms should be designed by a landscape architect with the intent of achieving aesthetically pleasing, textural elements with movement and shade. A detailed landscaping plan depicting the type, size, placement, and quantity of all vegetation is required to be approved by the DRB. Unless any berm is intended to be formally landscaped with manicured lawn and landscape plantingsT the landscape plan shall include at least three classifications of landscape/revegetation materials; l) native seed mix including grasses, forbs, and woody plants, 2) small size container (10 cu. in. - 1 qt.) of native woody and herbaceous plant species, and 3) larger size container and.ball and burlap native woody plant species.

That the propoeed @nrae is achrally a "pitc,h and putt" type course, not an executive or regular Par 3 golf ourse? (Please see comment #1.) That both the National Crolf Foundation (N.G.F.) and the Americarl Society of Golf course Ar''chitects' staff membere, when contacted by me recently, stat€d that 1B.g acres is not sulEcient to build a Par 3 golf course, much less a{iunct facilities guch as a clubhouse, parking area(s), access mad(e), etc"? (Please gee 'C'olf Course Desiga. and Construction Guidelines." I spoke with Jacquelia FYeitae.) Available/usable acreageis actually less as the YfRD pnmised to not disturb existing Aspen etands and io constnrct exteneive b€ruing on tJre eastem boundaries of the prroject 3. That the N.G.F., to their knowledge, hac never been contasted by the \lRD for par B guidelines even alter receiving Mr. Phelpe' letter of 4/L192, stating that corridor widths, side by side golf hole widths, aDd otherr di'nensions "are considerably less th^n t'hat recommended by the Anericqn Society of GoIf Course Architects and the Natioaal Crolf Fountlatim?" The VRD Board member that I recently contacted (Gail Maltoy) was not aware there were N.G.F. Par 3 guidelines and askedD.e to sendthem to her, as she had never eeen them! That the Army Corps of E 'gineers'response letter dated 3lL6l93,after the onclusion of the Public Notice comment period and eigned by Grady MNure, chief, western Colorado Regulatory Office, states that, 'A m{ority of the comments ftom private citizens were opposed to the development of your project at the prupoeed location?" a.That a VRD letter er,nt 7/14192, Btates, "The District has etated throughout the planning process that it will pmceed with the project if the mqjority of the community supports it and conversely will abandon the ours€ if that is the citizens' desirre?" (Pleaee eee enclosed document.) 6. That the above mentioned Army Corps' letter states, "llre only cmuents which we pgived iT support of your project were fmm residents of BddMountain Road," and,"If the only public supporters for t"he project woutd withdraw their eupport for th;project with a westem access point, you would need to decide if you wiU U"la tfe course without any public support?" 7- That the VRD stated in a letten dalald,UllAgS to the Army Corps that they could not gain acess across private land to the westem end of the parcel.-The above mentiouedArny Corp letter states this is aot tnre? 8. That the Army Corp letter datsd 3/16/93, states, "We have a letter to you from. a noted golf course architect strongly rrecommending that you do not build the couree on this site because of the safety oonoerna of er:rant golf balls strLking notorists on I-70 traveling at high rates of speed?" That on March 14, 1993, the vRD ieeued a pness release titlecl "vail Recreation - ot"i.l Indefinitely Tables Booth Falle par I Golf course project" stating that, ',A letter from t-he Army Corps of Engileers was recently reeived-outlining tie options 9l the Par 8 project, none of which are cunently acceptable to the \rRD g;ra orDirectors, therefore, the project is tabled indefiniteiy?" (please see enclosed document.) 9. That the above menl_ioned letter states, "The Town of Vail's own land use plan statesthat this site would not aeommodate a Par 3 nine hole golf course tecause of insrtfficient acreage. We are conoerned that construction of this course may not be in the public interest?" (Please see comment #2.) 10. 11.that the Corps'tretter states, "If the residents (of Bald lflountain Road) wish to enjoy the economic benefits of the oouree then they will have to cope with tb€ increaseitrafrc?" Ie the T{RD builaling tlrir ooruae for the economic benefit of ite only supporters, the residents of the Bald illountain Road residential area? It would a-ppear that the main group of supportcrs of this project are those rcsideDlg rr[s think they will benefit finansialy from this project by increased real estate values. Ibie has been acknowledged by one \IRft Board member and a member of the rfRD staff. Is this in the general public's intenest? A vail real estate firn mailed to all property owners in the Booth crreek filings a copy gf a Eil=Deilx article conceming the vRD board'g decision to table indefinitely tL; Par 3 golfcouree project alongwith the real estate agent's business card. She reftmed all inquiries to VRD board membere encouraging them to urge the board to recongider their decision. It would appear that the primary supporters of tJris project are local Booth creek rreal estate oriented ownert, not the community aJ a- whole. No comnunity-wide support for this pmject has been evident or denonstrated 13. That the architect, Nlr. Phelps, who resigned ft''om consideration as a desiga. ffnalict for this project because "the site is not large enough to design, construct, and operate 1 8+-- golf facility" has designed orrer sixt5r (60) existing golf courses, iacluding cordillera, and ie one of colorado's two members of the A.s.G.c.a? It also should be noted that [[r. Phelps hae never had any litigation against hirn conoerning golfsourse design contraty to etat€nents made by other itdividuals and that he is vlry fnrniliar. with the site personally. He ia aleo a member of the National C'olf Foundation. Mr. Phelps'congiderable experience in golfoourse desig:n. Bpenlm for itself. He also hag been the recipient ofvarioue awarde for the oourses he ha" desigued- The architect for the proposed Par 3 does not belong to either organization at preseDt. He is theprimary designer 6f s:o rrnlrnoym uumber of existing l&hole courses at this c/ritiDg. The proposed project s arrhitect has been involved as an owuer/developer with several prominent l8-hole golf courses,;nsluding the Deeert and Forest Highlands courses in Arizona. That the eastem most end of this par.cel is alnoet entirely flooded with nrn-ofrwater? (Please see photographs.) How does the \IRD int€nd to deal with this situation and with the culvert outlet flooding this area? It would appear that the eulvert's outlet point would have to be relocated or redirected, a very e:rpensive uadertaking. If modifications are necessary, it may have a negative irnpact on the hydrology of the existing wetlaads. Regardless ofyour position on this matter, I respectfirlly suggest that you direct either the \IRD or Town of Vail staffto obtain pertinent, objective infomation including staadards and guidelines o1 design and construction ofPar 3 golfcourse as they pertain to this particular piece of land with its various onstraints before signing any lease. I also would lilc to Euggest that a consultant be hired from either the American Society of Architects or the National Crolf Foundation to comment on all the safety issues involved. It is very important to note that if the VRD designs a @urse eliminating any wetlands inpact, therefore not requiring an Ar:my Co4ls'pemit, the safety oonoerns expressedin the Corps'onegpondenoe, as well as other letters, will 3q! be addrnessed except by you. I\itr. McNure gtated 611/93 that, 'Safety issueg were issues that were not ever r''esolved to our eatisfaction." They obviously are etill sigtrificant and valid and critical." Another appropriate option would be to withdraw this parcel of land ftrom leaee consideration as ite acr,eage is insriffisient for a quality Par 3 golf course ae stated in TO\Is T.^',d. Use Plan and other documeDts previously mentioned. . COMMEI{T#I: In a ncent t"t"pUoo" conversation with VRD Board menber Gail Malloy, I read her the acreagp ngures of tbe N.G.F. and A.S.G-CA guidelines and her respotrse was as stated. UnfoignJtetv, this is not the type of Par 3 course tlgt has been represented to local residents, public, and Council.

Phelps, Golf Course Architect, Amerlcan Soclety of Golf Course }1^^,^.r Architects and finalist for this proposed project (please see .';:)'- 1-Document #2.) The vail Land Use Plan states in paragraph #3, Page'Let.c) 442 "This tract ffi rn the pait 5s -a possible location for an executive par 3 golf course, hornrever it is not large enough to accommodate such a use. A weII planned l8-hole par 3 course requires 50 to 60 acres. A 9-hole par 3 course couldpossibly be acconplished on as little as 20 acres, however this slte is only L4 acres and therefore would not acsornmodate an "executlve" type course very adequately. Reference: DeChaiara, Joseph and Lee Koppelman, Urban Planning and Deslgn Crlteria, Page 380; and THK Associates, fnc." It should be noted that this tract ls 13.7 acres and that the figures guoted above are for the actual sourse (golfing holes) and do not include acreage necessary for adJunct support facilities such as a clubhouse, parking lots, bus, and car turn arounds, storm shelters, etc. Mr. Phelps' letter' states in paragraph 2, "the site is not large enough to deslgn, construct and operate a safe golf factlity. In today's lltiglous society we are very concerned that serious accidents and disruptions will occur that will result in lawsuits against the district." "The corridor width ls 150' through the center of the site which is considerably less than that recommended by the American Society of GoIf Course Architects and the Natlonal Golf Foundation. A corridor for a regulation hole is a minimum of 300', so even considering the par-3, it should not be less than 200 feet. A side-by-side golf hole scenario has a minlmum of 500' wlth consideration for the par-3 holes, this mlght drop to 400 feet. Y COTPY Page 2 Once again, the Courts are well-versed in these dimenslons andshould injury or damage occur, an "expert witness" famillar withthese standards will testify as such',, ', Walks such as those between 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 7 to 8 are aII dangerous conslderingthose people hittlng balls directly at the walker", "severalcenterlines of fairways are entirely too close" (to privateproperty lines)", "We just feel there is not enough room to fltwhat you worild like into this site.", "We realize that we are commenting on a preliminary sketch plan, but after 30 years in the business, we do not Eee a reasonable solution that would vary thatmuch." It shoul-d aLso be noted that Mr. Phelps' credibility lsfurther substantlated by the fact that he has built over 60 golf courses and belongs to the national" organizatlons of golf course architects and landscape architects as well as the National GoIfFoundation. He states he has never had any litigation against hJ.m concerning hls golf course deslgns. He is a respected and successfuf member of his professlon and his golf courses have been recognized as outstanding by varlouE media and organizations. Consequently, we feel his statements are valid ones. His commentthat "j-n clear conscience, we cannot recommend that you (the applicant) do this project" speaks for his integrity as aprofessional golf course architect. Why these documents were not addressed at the appllcant's own initiative or by the Town of Vail Council is unknown. These documents are part of thelr own records. Politically or individually motivated decisions by these entities are not ln the public's interest. Endorsement of this proposed project by the Vail Town Council wlthout knowledge of these documents or thorough exploration and dlscusslon of their conclusions especially those relating to safety is also not in the , public's interest. Other extremely slgnlficant safety iesues are r+tr,.,-.d".,)dlscussed i-n Document #3, Page 2, sectlon III. Please read them r-*[S\' carefully. We are particularly concerned wlth the Possible mud ' ./ slide hazards in this area and their impacts on the safety of the users of this proposed golf course. We feel the possible debris flow represents a real danger to the players. Another concern is the effect of the proposed project on rntater quality in our region. Levels of nltrates and phosphates and other pollutants have been found to have increased in the area'a stream (Gore Creek) since the constructlon of the present golf course adjacent to this water source. We are concerned that another golf course in this area wlth additional input of herbicides, fertilizers and pesticideE would further negatively impact the water quality in the core Creek drainage. Also we object to the fact that this proJect water use will deplete annually at least 10 acre feet from the upper Colorado River Basin with subsequent adverse effects on endangered species such as the Colorado rR$.,/:I l*',t r. ' , I r"'r i:lilllJ iiPage 3 squastfish, hunpback chub, honeytail chub and razorback sucker. Other endangered species slted in our area as well as actually onthis tract include the gray fox, moose and elk (please see Document #4.) Rather than conserving our resources, we feel this proposedproject wlll not only deplete them, but waste valuable resources,i.€., water. As no Environmental hpact Statement has been done on thistract, the plent,iful- wildllfe including flora and fauna hag not been adequately identified as well as the project's detrimental lmpacts on their habitats - rlparian and otherwise (please see G'-Document #3, Page 4, IV.) Incldently, !,re did a fifteen mlnute ) plant identification study ln August 1992 and were able to identify over 60 species (please see Document #5). We have also spotted a rather rare species of Warbler for our region: the MacGillivray's Warbler. We also feel that there is not enough land on the east end of the site to construct everything propose{for this area which /u.., ("*e.- , includes the wetlands / rlparian habitat (please refer to Document(-A$ ) #4, Page 1, Section I and II.) rs. Neighborhood concerns are also addressed in Document #3, Page 5, Section V. We would also like to clarify statements in regard to "public meetings" held concerning this proposed proJect. All but four of these meetings were either staff or VaiI Recreation Distrlct or Town of Vall board meetings not specifically held for theso1ediscussionoft@AIthoughtechnica11y ILY Publicized in our local newspapers as foruns encouraging public input on this specific proposaJ.. The VaiI Recreation Dlstrict did hold fourpublic input sessions concernlng thls proJect. Two of these sessions r^rere not publicized in articles ln our local neetspapers and consequently poorly attended. The last two meetings lvere very well publlclzed and had signiflcant turnoutE. Citizen input at these meetings reflected both opposltlon and support of the proposed project. Also, some adjacent property o\"tners were told employee housing would be built on thls site lf a golf courae $tas not approved. The covenants of the Booth Creek flllng clearly state this is not an option. AIso, the open space designation doea not al-Iow for public housing or housing of any kind. In addltion several adjacent property osrners are in favor of thls proposed project as "it w111. lncrease property values and we can sell our property for more moneyrr. Vle do not feel that this is a valld r.^/,n [n\t Page 4 reason for constructing this golf course. It should be noted that many of the adjacent owners are absentee o$rners and rent theirproperty freguently. conErequently they wiII not personallyexperience the impact of this project. There has been asignlficant "grass roots" effort to lnform the citizens of the VaiIValley and our local government repreEentatives of the very serious and detrlmental impacts thls seemlngly small project wlll have onIocal wildlife, their habitat, rrrater quality and quantlty, safetyof adjacent owners including chlldren in addition to those 20r000 vehicles travellng on the adJacent interstate highway. Dlsturbing and destroying this small microcosm of our larger ecoeystem is environmentally and econonically unsound as the project would not be profitable for at least 7 to 10 years down the llne (please see Document #5. ) In closlng we would IIke to guote the noted professor, Dr.Daniel D. Chlras from his book "Lessons from Naturer" Islands Press, 1992. Page 25 "Life in an ecosystem exists wlthout ravagingthe soLl , alr, water andl plantE" . In writing about our erater resources, he states, "In Colorado and eLsewhere in the west, theIack of soclal synerg'y (i.e., a measure of cooperation between humanity and nature) has wrought unnecessary damage to mountain ecosystems from dams and diversions. It has destroyedprecious riparian habitats and dried up streams vital to many species of wlldlife." We feel thls site rrrarrants preservation rather than destruction.

Many members of our connunity are opposed to this project for several-reasons including environrnental and ecological concerns.Thedestruction of the wetlands and adjacent native flora are majorconcerns. The fact that there are three buildings, one rather large and two smaIl structures (pump building: 10'X 13t, and a storrn shelter:10t X L0') planned within the wetl-ands area or directly adjacent isnajor concern to us. In addition, the proposed golf course is adjacentto a rnoderate to high hazard debris flow zone. The inpact of disturbingand altering the r"retlands and other involved areas on the unstablehazard zone above the proposed project has not been explored.Hopefully, a geologic hazard investigation that will be reguired forthis project vrill define any problens, if any. This is a cornplicated situation involving rnany different environrnentalfaetors. Because of the possible negative j-rnpacts that this proposedproject nay generate, we encourage you to exercise your discretionaryauthority to reguire an IndividuaL Pernrit rather than a NationwidePerrnit #26 for this proposed project. Thi-s perrnit would allow, as weunderstand it, for a public review, with input by adjacent property ol/ners and other concerned citizens. l,le are all in agreement that we want the rnost environrnentaLly responsibLe and the safest plan and design possible. As all aspects ofthis plan are interrelated, we feel. that by proceeding ggIefUI_Iy anddeliberately the final rrproductrl will be a far more superior one ! * Perhaps a joint rneeting between your staff and the members of the VailDesign Review Board and the Conrnunity Developrnent Staff would beappropriate and a nore efficient way to discuss individual concerns inorder to obtain our goals and a properly integrat,ed plan.

If injury or danage occurs, will the dimensions of the proposed course beconsidered sub-standard and therefore vulneraLte to possible adverse litigation? (please see phelps letter dated April 1_, r9e2) . Are centerlines of some of the faintrays too close to privateproperty lines and conseguently dangerous to children playingin their backyards and existing homes if there are errant golishots? Is there enough room to provide a buffer zone betweenadjacent properties and the fairways and greens? Will the recently constructed culvert under Bald Mountain Roadand the new outlet be functionally accomnodated into the par-3plan? Some of you may not know that in May, l_994 the entireneighborhood was evacuated for several days and one farnily forthree months due to sudden multiple severe hiqh velocitJ landand mud slides from dangerously unstable conditions above theresidential area?

Nott EBN: ne P.S. ft should be noted that contrary to remarks made at the publichearing on August 20, L992, Mr. Richard phelps has never had anylitigation against him concerning his 6O plus golf courses, waspersonallv very farniliar with the site before he wrote his letter,had a1l available information including aerial photos, topo andcontour maps and a conceptual design as well as a sarnple holedesign of Mr. Bailey,s, and was never called by the developer toconrnent further on his concerns as offered in his letter. Hiscourses have been recognized as outstanding by various rnedia and hepresentJ.y is the architect for the Cordillera golf course, amongothers. We feel his staternent that the ttsite is not large enoughto design, construct and operate a SAFE golf facility[ is a validone. His conment that trin clear conscience, we cannot recommendthat you (Rob Robinson) do this projecttr, speaks for his integrityas a professional golf course architect. f, along with nanyothers, feel that this is an extremely signifcant satement andshould be very seriously considered before a lease is signed. cEsPK-CO-O PUBLIC NOTICE NUI'{BER 199275078 January 8, 1993 .;. . sea Level. Historically, the va1ley floor was a mosaic of-. wetlands and riparian forest adjacent to Gore Creek, but the valley has been heavily developed in the last twenty years. llost of'the 13.7 acres is a dry meadow with a small scrub/shrub and emergenL wetland ott the eastern edge of the property. ADDITfONAL INFoRIL\TIoN: This project coul-d have been authorized by Departrnent of tire Arrny nationwide genei:al perrnit nuetber 26 as the r,retlands are isolated and the inpacts are less than oue acre. The corps of Errgineers exerted discretionary authority on this project and suspended natiotrtride r;eneral perroit auihority. t'le are requiring an individual permit application for ttqo reast:ns. Firstly, the Corps r{as concernecl a}:out the curnu}ative inpact:s to aquat.i.c resources in the area due to the histor:y of urban cleve-loi:ilent-. Secondly, the project site is a uarroi'r strip of land inmediately adjacent, to fntersta'ce 70 on the southertt borcler and a housingi development on the norther border. Due to t-he possi.ble- safety issue concerninq errant go!-f ba1ls strikingt autu:noiriles travelling at high speeds and local controversy about this projecL, the corps decided that a individual pernit revier+ and a public notice were varranted. ALTERNATIVES: The applicanL provided an on-site-afternatives analysis but did not include an off-sii:e alternatives analysis with the permit application. The project is designed to alleviate ttre congestion on Vaj-Lrs charrpionship golf course so the pr:oject must be close to Vail. Since mosL of Vai] is heavily develcped, a search for another suitable parcel of property would have to be rvest of Vail tor+ards Avon. The terrain rises to steeply east of VaiI to provide suitable sites. we do not have inforrnation on the presence or absence of an available site vest of.Vail The applicant identified the western end of tl're propertl' as one alternative location for the rnaintenance building and parking lot. The applicant rnaj.ntains that this was not a practicable alternative because the residents of Bald [Iountain Road objected to the increased traffic on the road. The course will only have 24 parking spaces which indicates that rnost players witl arrive at the course via'pub)-ic transportation or r'ralking fron tlre nearby deveJ-opments..

EXECUTTVE COURSES An executive or intermediate course may range in par from 58 to 68. Total yardage will vary from 3,(X)0 to 4Jfi) and acreage from 40 to ZS,.depending upoqt- topography, design configuration and OtaI lengfh- Ttrcre arc more than 750 executive courses in the U.S. The premise behind an execudrre cours€ is thar it uses less land and takes less time to play than a regulation course. At the sametime, amixmre ofmostlypar-3 holes withsomepar- 4s and an occasional short par-5 will provide all the shotmaking challenge of a full-length golf course. For many average plaprs, ttE shat yardage and trcavy €rnptrasis on par-3 holes makes the course particularly enjoyabte. Many developments have found execttive courses ad- vantageous. They can be used as a supplemental course in golforiented projects or as the only course in devetop- ments with many outdoor-activity facilities_ But in reat esate developments planned to appeal primarily to golf- ers, l8-hole regulation courses are more popular. PAR-3 COURSES A par-3 golf course has 18 par-3 holes, total par of54 and yardage ranging between 2,fiX) and 2Jfi) yards. There are more than ?00 par-3 courses in the U.S, Holes rse Design par-3 golf and usefulness of sucb 8 layout as a raining ground for beginnen or a manageable challenge for women, older golfen and disabled p€rsons. Municipali- ties in which golf course plarming has included the fore- sight to add a 9- or l8-hole short course to its l8-hole regulation course have reportcd reurarkable results. Not only have short courses relievcd the raffic pressure on busy days, but in many cases thcy provide one-third or more of the facility's otal golf revenue. Par-3 courses range downward to tiny "pitch-and-putt" layouts which are played with just a nine-iron or wedge and puuer. Useful as a complemut to urother facility or a simple recreational activity, ttey will not aftract serious golfers. PAR YARDAGES Whatever type couse is built, the designer must urder- stand ttrc definitions of "par." The Uniled States Go|f Association (USGA1 has established tllese definitions. They are based upon disunce and represent the numb€r of strokes an expert golfer rvould take in enorless play of a hole' always allowing the player two putts afrerhis ball is - on the green. Thus, a par-3 hole is one in which the green is o be reached in one shoc a par4 is reached in two shots and a par-5 in three. Par is computed solely on distance, as follows: PAR DISTANCE IN YARDS l l* l l l l l l l J 5 6 Men up to 250 251 ro470 471 and o\er 650 and up (slould be awided) Women up to 210 2111o400 4tll to 575 576 and ip . - should range from ?5 to 2zt0 yards each to assue vadety.,, f, Acreageallornentfor lghoiesshouldbe35ro45. *l-' A p*-3 golfcourse in a high traffic location can be a good - investment and there are many in metropolitan areas. I Somerimes a nine-hole par-3 coirse inconjunction wirh a' driving range is a protitable combination. I far-3 layouts are sometimes selected as amenities byI developers who want the advantages of golf but lack capital for a major front end inyestment or whose tolat 1 acreage allows only a minimum for golf. par-3 coursesJ are also builtfrequertly in conjunction with hotels, resoru and existing clubs. i I Advantages include the short time required for a round of 9,18 OR MORE? Many clubs, particularly in rural arcas or housing devel- opments with limited acreage, choose to develop a nine- hole coune. For a full roun4 a golfer tours the layout twice. The course may be regulation, executive or par-3. A regulation 9 will be par 35 or 36 with a total yardagc ranging from 3,000 to3,400. Anexecutivenine is usually par-29 to 33 but is typically a par€ with one par-5, four par4 and four par-3 holes. Total yardage ruru from I ,500 ro 2300.

Robinson: I an writing to you in regard to the Vail RecreaLionDistrictrs proposed par 3 colf course. we trave concluded thepubric cornrnent period for the pubric notice that we issued onthis project. A rnajority of the conments fron private citizenswere opposed to the deveropnent of your project at the proposed,location. By letter dated_February 17, 1993, you responded to theconrnents on this project, by the u.s. Environmenlar protection Agency and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Section {94(b)(1) cuidelines (40 cFR part 230.10) stare that,, fordischarges into special aquatic sites (wLtlands) thai are notwater^dependent, there is a rebuttabte'presuuption tbat lessdarraging practicabre alternatives exist- that io not involve adischarge^into. speclar aguatic sites. t{e d,o not believe thai anyof the inforruation subrnitted thus far, including your February t?lett.er, has rebutt,ed this presurnption. You have not provided infornation that deroonstrates thatother avairable properties do not exist that wourd support thisdeveroprnent !/ithin a short drive of vail. I{e have i.aiirtiried twopracticable alternatives on-site that wouLd, be }ess darnaging tothe aquatic environnent. one alternative would, be to toiat6 ttrecLubhouse and support facirities on the western end of theparcel. According to-your February 12, 1993 letter, you can notgain access across private land to the western end of-the parcel.our reviev of property boundary naps reveal that the p"r"eiboundaries abut Bard Mountdin load- in the western end of theparcel, and that access across private land would not benecessary. you further stated that the neighboring conraunityobjected to access on the western end of thi parcel because 6fincreased traffic on Bald Mountain Road. rhe'only cornments whichwe received in suppolt of your proJect were from iesidents of, BaId l{ountain Road, If these resldents wish to enjoy the econoroic benefits of the course then they rnay have to cope withthe increased traffic. Your project calls for only 24 parking spaces vhich does not seem to create a najor traffic problem onthe road. ff the only publlc supporters for the project would withdraw their support for the proJect with a sestern accesspoint, you would need to decide if you niII build the coursewithout any public support. We do not believe that conflictswith your project supporters negates the practicability of usingthe vestern end of the parcel for access and clubhouse construction. Another alternative. which would not create a conflict withyour supporters is to avoid wetlandq in construction offacilities in the eastern end of the parcel. rhe cLubhouse andthe parking can be located in the eastern of the parcel vithoutinpacting wetlands. ?here is sufficient space between the two wetl.ands and near the berm for fnterstate 70 to construct thesefacilities. fn our reviev of your permit application, we must, also coroplete a public interest review (33 CFR 3ZO.4t. One factorin this public interest reviev is safety. Several of the con:nents discussed the safety issue involved in building this course on a narrow strip of land between the developrnent andInterstate 70 (I-70) . l,le have a letter to you from a noted golf course architect strongly recorurending that you do not build the course on this site because of the safety concerns of errant golfballs striking rnotorists on I-70 traveling at high rates ofspeed. The Town of Vail's own land use plan states that thissite would not accomrnodate a Par 3 nine hole golf course becauseof insufficient acreage.

T.h_e projecr was introduced in August of 1989 as an atternative course for beginner andjunior golfers, seniors, and hotel guests with time constraints; as well as to eliminate-the overcrorvding at the l&hole championship Vail Golf Club. ln December of that_same year the first of over 20 public meetings were held to gather public input on lhe project. Publicsupport for the course cbntinued ro bioverwhetming-with over 55 unsolicited letters of support for ttie project received by the Recreation District. This confirmation of the public's desire for a local alternat;ve to the Vail Golf Club prompted sir months of research-torvards financial feasibility of the plan at rvhich time it was determined tlar the course could support itself and help to f[nd othe; vRD programs. In January of 1992, the Vail Town Council directed Town manager Ron Phillips to sign an aor.eemenl guaranteeing that the Torvn would subsequently lease the Booth Falls land tract to the Vail Recreation District. Despite numerous attemptsby V-RD Board members, the lease was never signed. That same month, Course Architect Dick Bailey presented a safety check and routing plan to the Vail Recreation Dstrict Board of Drectors and insirred that a 9-hol6 par 3 golf coursei6utd !1 safely constructed within the land parcel. At this point, the Recreation DistriciBoard of Drectors decided to aggressively pursue the project'by hiring architects for the s[arter house and pursuing course plans. . .A1{t1al plans *'ere drawn for the course in the Summer of l,992,and specifics were ironed out with PEC-on.A-u-gust 10, one of the final steps rvas to work with the Army ^Corps of Engineers to acquire an Individual pennit. With the lease siill unsigned, a few Vail cidzlns *ith l2rh Eour congems anemPed to convince ttre Vail Town Council tJkeep the land vacant. Despite rhe fact that the Recreation Dstrict had received prior encouragement from the Vail Town Council to proceed with.the golf course, the council agr-eed to delay lhe courses' progress and hold, yet anot'her, public meeting. . Following that meeting alq tlg Corpsof Engineers receiving a few letten opposing the project they decided to require a 4O4 Nationwide permit. A letter from the Corps of Engineers rvas recently received outlining the options on the Par 3 project, none of rvhich are iurrently acceptable to the Vait Recreation Diitrict B6ard of Directon. Thercfore, rhe project is, as previouily stafed, rabled indefinitely. -il: Il: Il: I Il: Il:: I t_ II, I l": II; I Il- | 't I l" |" I "' l., I' t' P-e.rce. l-JorE : Ar-r- Aev44- Ractze.+ .-Aee. doe @tE t1.our-a eElq T+e:{ Eo Uof i,*-rc,r--.-r6tg \nr4ffi. be- Air-lorJc.F AMJn<+ -- tiu r;gqoobeb, Pla)*q&egb a>.&D'5 1.-,1a.r'r-.)t-gtJgrucE F)'^de-l' ri e=,,zTa', Golf Course Design and Construction Guidelines for desi gning and building regubrton 9- and l8-lwle golf courses Formerly Planning andBuilding the Golf Course Published by the National Golf Foundation 1150 South U.S. Highway One, Jupiter, Floida33477 (407)74+ffi6 Rcvised and rcprinrcd 1981, 1985. 1990 Printcd in thc Unitcd Sratcs of Amcrica #GF4E '2/t L /r* /2t - J3 63 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

A skillful architect, designing a shorter course on excellent property, rnay be able o reduce total acreage to 150 or less. C.ourses laid out on less than 150 acres, however, are apt tro be crowded and to cause unsafe conditions for gotfers and surrounding resi- dents, These acreage figures reflect only golf facilities; those intending to sell residential sites should purchase additional land- EXECUTTVE COURSES An executive or intermediate coursie may range in par from 58 to 68. Totat yardage wilt vary from 3,0fit to 4Jfi) and acreage from 4) to ZS,.depending upoof, opography, design configuration and total lengttr. Thexe arc more than 750 executive courses in the U.S. The premise behind an executive coune is that it uses less land and takes less time to play than a regulation course. At the same dme, a mixture of mostly par3 holes with somepar- 4s and an occasional short par-s will provide all the shotmaking challenge of a full-length golf course. For many average plalrrs, ttE stst yardage ad heavy arsrasis on par-3 holes makes the course particularly enjoyable. Many developments have found exmrtive courses ad- vanEgeous. They can be used as a supplemantal course in golf-oriented projects or as the only course in develop. ments with many outdoor-activity facilities. But in real estate developments planned o appeat primarily to golf- ers, l8-hole regulation courses are more popular. PAR.3 COURSES A par-3 golfcourse has 18 par-3 holes, total par of54 and yardage ranging between 2,0fi) and 2J00 yards: There are more than 700 par-3 courses in the U.S- Holes par-3 golf and usefulness of sucb a layout as a training ground for beginnen or a manageable challenge for women, older golfen and disabled persons- Municipali- ties in which golf course plarming has included the fore- sight to add a 9- or l8-hole short course to ia l8-hole regulation coune have reported rernarkable results. Not only have shon courses relieved the taffic pressure on busy days, but in many cases they provide one.third or more of the facility's toul golf revenue. Par-3 courses range downward to tiny "pitch-and-puu" layouts which ue played with just a nine-kon or wedge and puuer. Useful as a complement !o another facility or a simple recreational activity, they will not attract serious golfers. PAR YARDAGES Whatever type course is built, the designer must under- stand the definitions of "par." The United States Golf Association (USGA) has established these definitions- They are based upon distance and reprcsent the number of strokes an expert golfe{ would take in enorless play of a hole, always allowing ttre player two putts after his ball is on the green. Thus, a par-3 bole is one in whicb the green is o be reached in one shoq a par-4 is reached in two shots and a par-5 in ttuee. Par is computed solely on distance, as follows: PAR DISTANCEIN YARDS l l* l l l l l l l J 4 5 6 Men up to 250 251 ro470 4?l and oler 650 and up (should be awidcd) Women up to 210 2ll to400 401to 575 5?6 and up .-' should range from 25 to 240 yards each to assure variegr. 1 7K Acreaee allormentfor 18holesshouldbe35 to45, *I' A p.r-3 golfcourse in a high traffic location can be a good - investment and there are many in metropolitan arcas. I Sometimes a nine-hole par-3 course in conjunction with a' driving range is a profitable combination. l f.-: layouts are sometimes selected as amenities byJ developers who want the advantages of golf but lack capital for a major front end inyestnent or whose total'i acreage allows only a minimum for golf. par_3 coursesJ are also bu il t frequently in conjunction wirh hotels, resorts and existing clubs. I I Advanages include the short time required for a round of 9, t8 OR MORE? Many clubs, particularly in nrral areas or housing devel- opments with limited acreage, choose to develop a nine- hole course. For a full round, a golfer tours the layout twice. The course may be regulation, executive or par-3. A regulation 9 will be par 35 or 36 with a total yadage ruging from 3,000 !o 3,400. Anexecutivenineis usually par-29 to 33 but is typically a par-3 with one par-5, four par4 and four par-3 holes. Total yardage runs from I ,500 to 2.300.

What is the difference between par-3, executive, and Cayman courses? A Par-3 golf courses have only_par three holes. If the boles are approximately 100 yards or less] it is often called a fitch and putt course. An executive coursc bas a mix of par three ind par four holes.- "Challenge" course miglrt be a b-etter- name since these cou6es apircal to and are played by many morE pcople than just executives.

Colorado 80223 t3031711.i 105 Fax: {303}7u-0210 Golf Course, Vail, Gentlemen: As requested, we have conducted a geologic hazards review for the proposed Booth Creek Golf iourse in East Vail. The purpose of the review was to identify potentially hazardous conditions associated with the geologSr and to outline possible mitigation concepts if the hazards justify mitigation. The study consisted of a site reconnaissance which was made on September S, tgglana review of regional geologic hazards studies. This letter has been pripared to summarize our findings aud to present our conclusions and recommendations. CONCLUSION The proposed golf course development area is exposed to infrequent debris flows originating in tbl upslope drainage basins. It will uot be feasible to protect the entire golf coursc with mitigative dlsigns, but mitigative designs can be developed to protect individual structures sucfas the clubhouse. RocKall and the potential for construction related slope instability do not appear to be significant hazards for the proposed developmenL The occupied stmcturei ihould be designed to resist moderate level of earthquake related strong ground sbaking. Development of the site, as presently planned, should not increase the existing hazardi to adjacent properties or eristing structures, streets and utilities. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Job No.4 36t 92 The Booth Creek Golf Course will be a nine hole, par three course which will to the trorth of Interstate Highway 70 in the Booth Creek areas of East Vail' to the fairways, greens, tees, and ponds which comprise the golf course Proper' develo,pment wiillndude a 1,500 square foot clubbouse and parking area which will located in the eastern part of the development. be located In addition tbe be r 'rneote, cr re [I-iii) 9.c,0 !r ccn!.i.es t, Vail Rccreation District Seplember ll,1992 Page2 SITE AND GEOI.OGIC CONDITIONS The golf course property is located on the lower northern side of the Gore Creek Vallcy about 2.7 miles to tbe east of the Vail town center. The property is a relatively narrow strip of ground to the north of Interstate Highway 70 and to the south of the Vail Village, Filing 13 subdivision. Most of the lots in the subdivision to the north are developed. The property is about 2,400 feet long in the east-west direction and varies from 150 to 400 feet wide in the north-south direction. The properly lies on the lower part of several small, coalescing alluvial fans which have formed at the mouth of small ephemeral drainages on the north valley side. The ground surface in the project area slope down to the south. Slopes are generally between llVo and ?-IVo. Booth Creek, a medium sized mountain sbeam with a relatively large alluvial fan at its mouth, is located to the east of the project site. The project site is not within the influence of the Booth Creek drainage system. The soils over tbe majority of the property appear to be well-drained except in the clubhouse and parking area in the eastern part of the property. Marshy, poorly drained ground is locally present in this area. Exploratory borings in this area indicate ground water depths were between 3.5 and 16.0 feet below the ground surface in early September 1992 (Chen-Northern, 1992). Vegetation in the marshy areas consists of willows and other water tolerant plants. Open brush land is present elsewhere on the proPerty. The near surface soils in the project area are alluvial fan deposits wbich appear to largely consist of debris flow deposits. The debris flow deposirs are poorly sorted, gravel, cobbles, and boulders in a silty sand matrix. Boulders up to several feet is size are common. In the blubbouse and parking area, where borings have been completed, the debris flow deposits are underlain by silty sand and gravel outwash deposits- While not present on the project site, glacial moraines are present in the general area. Pinedale-age lateral moraines are present in the Booth Creek drainage and Bull kke-age moraines are present in places along the upper Gore Creek Valley side upslope of the site to the north. Rock formations along the northern valley side are interbedded conglomerate, sandstone, carbonate rock, and shale of the Pennsylvanian-age Minturn Formation (Tweto and Lovering, 1977). Bedding in the rock strikes to the northwest and dips from 2 to 12 degrees to the southeast. Faults have not been mapped in the immediate vicinity of tbe site (Tweto and Lovering, re77). Y VaiI Recreation District September ll,1992 ' Page 3 GEOI,OGIC TIAZARDS ASSESSMENT Based on this review, we did not find geologic conditions which would make the proposed development lechnically infeasible or which would present a s€vere hazard to the developmenl Our evaluation of the geologic conditions which could have an influence on the project are discussed below. Debris Flow Hazard: In our opinion the coalescing alluvial fans in the project area should be considered geomorphically active under orrrent environmental conditions. This would mean tbat the fans coutd be the sites of infrequent debris flovs and high sediment concentration floods. In mid to late May of 1984 several debris flows occuned in the Vail area as a result of unusually rapid melting of an unusually late spring snowpack. Debris flows occurred in the nearby Booth Creek drainage and in at least one of the small epbemeral drainages to the north of the project area. Portions of the project area may have been impacted by these debris flows, but detailed mapping and descriptions of the inuudation areas is not available. Regional debris flow hazard mapping indicates tbat while the project area is on potentially active alluvial fans, the project area for tbe most part lies down slope of the "High and \,/ M&erate" debris flow hizaid areas (Mears, 1984). A small part of the golf course in the vicinity of fairways 2,7 and 8 are within a "Moderate" debris flow hazard zone. The "Modelate" hazard zone is described as, nareas subject to debris flows where the impacts are less severe than in a high hazard zone, Generally smaller rocks and lesser flow depths and , deposits occur in the moderate hazard zone. Muddy floods also transport material through ,./ the moderate hazard zone. Mitigation techniques are often practical here, but require site- specific design." Based on this review, it is our opinion that all parts of the proposed development could be exposed to infrequent debris flows and high sediment concentration floods. While orposed to these potential hazards, the development is relatively distante from the fan heads where severe damage would be expected, but the project site should not be considered totally hazard free and there is a potential for damage as a result of erosion and the impacts and deposition of debris. There is currently insufficient data in the Vail area to estimate statistical recunence probabilities for debris flows. In our opinion, debris flows appear to be potential infrequent events at any specific site on the alluvial fans. Recurrence intervals are likely greater tbau several hundreds of yearq but the historic record is too sbort to confirm this opinion. V Vail Recreation District September 11, 1992 Page 4 If the orner is not willing to accept some risk of debris flow and flood damage, then the site sbould not be considered for development The damage potential in some areas could be reduced by mitigative designs. Because of the size of the area requiring protection, it will not be feasible to develop mitigative designs to protect the entire golf course. It should, however, be feasible to provide a reasonable level of protection for individual facilities, zuch as the clubhouse, if the owner is not willing to accept the risk of damage without mitigation. Debris florv hazard mitigation to protect individual facilities, such as the clubhouse, could consist of berming upslope of the structure to dissipate flow kinetic energy and to direct the flows and floods away from the structure. It should also be feasible to reinforce the lor*,er building wall to withstand the impact for the debris floqrs or floods. This metbod of mitigation requires that doors and lwr windows are not located in thc building walls exposed to the flows or floods. If the owner elects to implement protection for individual facilities, then site specific studies should be done to develop the most appropriate design and design parameters such as flow depth, velocities, and impact pressures. We expect the flows at the clubhouse site will consist of muddy floods. A civil engineer should be engaged to design appropriate mitigation plans for the facilities. We should review the design to evaluate if the design assumptions are consistent with our understanding of the hazards. Rockfall Hazard: We did not find conditions in the project area which would indicate that the golfcourse or the clubhouse is erposed to a potential rockfall hazard severe enough to warant special hazard mitigation. Regional roctfall hazard studies shor that a rockfall hazard is present upslope of the western part of the golf course, but the bazard area boundary does not extend into the properly (Schmueser and Associates, 1984). The potential rockfall hazard area lies upslope of fairways 3, 4, 6, and 7. Buildings which will be occupied are not planned in this area. Slope Instability: We did not find evidence of landslide activity on the proPerly and the area appears to have had a stable geologic history with respect to slope instability. Grading for the golf course and clubhouse will not result in deep or steep cut and fill slopes. We do not anticipate problems with construction related slope instability if cut and fill slopes do not exceed 10 feet in heigbt and the slopes are at 2:1 (horizontal to vertical) or flatter. Fills should be properly compacted when constructed. w' Vail Recreation Disbict September ll,1992 Page 5 Earthquake Hazard: There is a potential for moderately strong earthquake ground shaking in the Vail area, but the potential for severe ground shaking is remote during a reasonable service life for the proposed golf course. During the last 130 years of historic record, tbe Vail area has been zubjected to occasional earthquake ground shaking with Modified Mercalli Intensity of VI and less (Kirktam and Rogerg 1985). Intensity VI ground shaking is usually felt by most people, but results in negligible damage to buildings of good construction. Slight damage can occur to buildings of poor construction at intensity VI. In our opinion, it is likely that the golf course and facilities could erperience intensity Vl ground shaking during a reasonable service life. Earthquake resistant designs commensurate with the regional hazzrd should be used in the design of the occupied structures. The Vail area is in the Uniform Building Code Seismic Risk Zone I (UBC 1991 Edition). Based on our current understanding of tbe earthquake 'hazards in this part of Colorado, we see Do reason to increase the commonly accepted seismic risk zone. LIMITATIONS This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted engineering geology practices in this area to provide the client with an identification of potential geologic hazards at the project site. The conclusions and recommendations presented in this letter are based on a field reconnaissance, review of regional hazardd studies, and our curr6nt understandingof the proposed developmenl If debris flow mitigations are used to protect independent structures, then additional studies sbould be done to develop appropriate design parameters. If the project development plans change significantly, we should be notified so that we caD reevaluate our conclusions and recommendations.

TO: FROM: DATE: SURJECT: o MEI/ORANDUM Plannlng and Environmental Commission Community Development Department August 10, 1992 A request lor a PEC determination of he parking requirement for the proposed Booth Falls Par 3 &lf Course, located on Tract A, Vail Village 13th Filing. Applicant VailRecreationDistrict Planner: Mike Mollica DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED REOUEST The Vail Recreation District is proposirq to construct a 9-hole, par€ golt course in the Booth Falls arsa, generally located south ot Bald Mountain Road and north of lnterstate-70. The property upon which the golf course is proposed to ba located is cunently owned by the Town of Vail, and is legally described as Tract A, Vail Village 13th Filing. The property is zoned Agricultural and Open Space. The proposed par€ golf course is considered a'permitted use" and is allowed as a use-by-right. Design Review Board approvalis required belore construction can begin. The request beforc the Plannlng and Envlronmental Commlsslon |3 to determlne the parklng requlrement tor the prcposed Shole, par-3 goll courae. This request is pursuant to Chapter 18.52.100(c,11) ol the Town of Vail Municipat Code. Because of the difficulty of listing all the potential uses and heir associated parking requirements in the Zoning Code, any use not listed in the Code shall be determined by the Planning and Environmental Commission, hen@ this request. ANALYSIS OF THE REQUEST At the request of the planning statf, the applicant has estimated what they believe to be the appropriate number of required parking spaces for the proposed golf course facility. Attached to this memorandum is a letter from the Vail Recreation District's architect, Jim Morter, dated July 20, 1992, detailing his analysis and concluding that 23 parking spaces should be required for the projecL The Planning stafl has simultaneously completed research with regad to tre required number of parking spaces for the facility. We ha\re consulted local and nationally recognized golf course architects, metropolitan districts which operate 9-hole golf @urse facllities, and front-range municipalities in order to fully understand the parking demand of a par-S facility. Through this research, it has become apparent lhat there is o ilt. no standard par-3 golt course parking requirement. The planning staff has taken a conservative approach with regard to our recommendation lor the required parking for the golf course. While we believe that adequate parking needs to be required, we are very sensitive to the residential character of the immediats area and to the sile's natural characteristics (potential wetlands), and would prefer to minimize the amount of asphalt used lor the proiect. We believe that when the proposed golf course is at maximum capacity, a total of nins foursomes would be on the course. In addition, we believe that one foursome will be waiting to play on the course, and one foursome will be finishing up. This totals eleven foursomes or 44 people. From our research, the staff has estimated that on the 'average' lhere would be two people per vehic-le, for a total of 22 vehicles. Additionally, the Recreation Disfict has anticipated hat there would be iwo staff members needed to operate the golf cours€ facility. lt is anticipated that each statf member would drive their own vehicle, for a total of two staff vshicles. Based upon thls analysls, the plannlng statt has estlmated that a total of 24 parktng spaoes should be requlrcd for thls taclllty. This estimate is based on a proposalwith no restaurantrbar, limited retail (350 sq. ft.) and with a small snack bar of approximately 150 sq. ft. in size. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Upon review of the applicant's reguest and based upon the analyses in Section ll above, the staff would recommend that a total of 24 parking spaces be requlred for the proposed 9-hole, par-3 golf course. Because we readily acknowledge that this parking analysis is based upon a number of assumptions, the staff would also recommend that the par-3 golf course facility be reviewed by the PEC one year from its initial opening date. The intent of this review would be to determine if the required number of parking spaces is sufficient. Should the estimat€s made by the planning staff be low, and the 24 pukung spaces prove to be insufficient to handle the parking needs of the golf @urse, the PEC would then have the opportunity to require additional parking at this one-year review. The initial design of the parking area should allow for a possible future expansion of perhaps tour to eight additlonal spaces. cl||lX€\marc|\Er3 -2- 143 East Me3.io!., l" .,..] Crossroads :t1'ra: Va I Co:orado El )r' "303 476.5105 MonrenAncH trtcrs JulY 20, L992 Planning and Environmental Commission Members Greg AmsdenJeff Bowen Chuck Crist Diana Donovan KathY Langenwalter Dalton Willians Gena Whitten Dear PEC Members, Werll be coming to see you at the Planning and Environrnental Conrrission meeting on August 10, to confirm the nunber of parking spaces required for the proposed Par Three Golf Course at the Booth Creek area.

For the record, I wish to putmy thougha on the project into writing. As we discussed, I am a proponent of the course being built on Tnct A, in Booth Creek I feel this site is an excellent eng fs1 rhis type of golf course. To me, a major benefit of a golf course is the beautification and preservation of open space. Being a homeowner in the neighborhood, such beautification of open space is tenific by me. Tract A is close to the existing golf course and thus its operation is simplified and does not require extensive on site building. The Vail Recreation District has held many meetings over the past year peruining to this golf course. These meetings were advertised extensively in the local news media and individual notices were distributed throughout the neighborhood. Anyone wishing to express their opinions were encouraged to attend. Attendance was mostly local homeowners. The Rec. board worked hard at these meetings to satisfy the concerns of the neighborbood and to poll the majority opinion. At the last two meeting, the large majoriry of those attending were proponents of the course. I feel the Recreation Board has done a terrific job of working with the homeowners to come up with a golf course design which is functional and beautifies the neighborhood. I welcome the general meeting called by the Council for tomorrow night to review yet again the plans for the course. However, I am concerned that for the past week the minority opponents have been soliciting individuals to their opinion by spreading false accusations about the course and the negative effecu it may have on the area. I hope the meeting on the 20th will serve to clarify such issues and will allow the various concerned factions to express their opinions.

I drive by this alra at least n*,o if not four or six times daily and cnjoy tbat short strerch of natural grecn space and am opposcd to,$.{lf tlpc of devclopnrent in his aea- Having reccntly driven round rip from Vail to Utah, Vail-to New Mexico and Vail O DuranEo, Coloiado on tlrrec scTaidtc occasions this spring, I was stnrck each timc b-y thc breath6king vistas and natural -beauty off many of our- staE s higbways. Upon rctuming p Vail I couliint help fccling bombardbd by thc-ovcrdcvclopmcnt ud over usc of land in thc narrow I-70 conidor. As hoses to one of ttrc Vail Community Forum mectings this past March, I learncd that tre ovcnphelming concen of all prcscnt was how o mainiain 6e quality of life we all canrc to Vail to enjoy.-Unanimously 'fue agreed the biggcst thrcat to thc quality of our life is to the fragile cnvironment around us. The Boo$ Creck Land Tract is one of the fcw rcmaining areas of natural, uncultivatcd, undcveloped land on thc Gorc Vallcy floor, and should rc-main that way. Althou.gh a groomcd golf course (complete with pia*ing lot, startcr building, concession arca and rcst iooms) miy seem dcsirabli to some istron$y believc the area should be lcft in it's natural $atc. I would further like to bc assured tlnt this land be pcrmanently dcsignatcd as nanral green space and noi feel compromised into supponing thc par 3 cburse as prcfcrablc to future morc invasive developmenr Whv is it alwavs a fieht o keep our frasile landscap€ in act? Why in a communiry where I fccl ccrtain it'i rcsidEns put a high pri6rity on naniral bcauty, dowc necd.o dSrglop evgy last piece of available lanf? How long will summer vacationers Put up wigt the uprcasi$ devdlopment of our valley but simply-pass us by for the more sercne areas of our beautiful satc?

Phl11ips Town Manager Town of Val1 75 South Frontage Road Yail , CO 81657 Dear Mr. Phillips: I an pleased to respond to the issue of safety as it relates to the Booth Creek Golf Course. This ls a topic that has been widely discussed at a number of publtc neeLlngs. The reason for concern is not without, basls. The Va11 Recreati.on District expressed safety concerns to me at our flrst discussion regarding the developnent of this site as a publlc recreational anenity. The site is constrained in a number of respects; nost ioportantly the 1ong, narrow coafiguration which nakes the safe passing of golfers a reasonable concern. Clearly st.ately these concerrs to ue, I was hired by the Vatl recreation Distrlct to do what I characterize as a ndisaster check.tt Simply stated, this is a routlng or, as was the case in thls instance, a nunber of routings to determine whether or not the site is suttable for the proposed use. In pursuing thi.s issue it becane clear that a traditional or tradltlonal or conventlonal solution was not going to satisfy the guidelines stated by the Vail Recreation District Board. I advised the Board that 1n order to safely acconpLish their goals on this site, the proposed par three golf course would be Limlted to golf holes of a nlnimun of 70 yards in length to approxinately 130 yards as a naxinun distance. The Board concluded that they would prefer to have a course that rras on the short side that was safe and enJoyable to play than run the risk of a longer course whtch would cause a concern for the safety of the players and the adJacent property owners.

Dear Mr. Claffey: The Vail Town Council and statf have reviewed the Public Notice on the Par 3 Golf Course and look fonrard to the completion of the draft environmental assessment. The potential cumulative impacts to wetlands in the Vail Valley and the potential safety problems are issues that need to be examined in the environmental assessment. We are also aware lhat the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has implemented protection plans for the humpback chub, bonytail chub, and razorback sucker, and we would want to ensure that the withdrawal of 10 acre feet would not be in conflict with USFWS plans or policies. The Town and Recreation District have held numerous public meetings on the proposed Par 3 Golf Course and could provide you with minutes and recordings of these forums. Environmental issue were often brought up in these discussions. In terms of the environmental issues that were raised, discussion primarily focused on the loss of wetlands and open area. There has also been extensive discussion on the need for the course, parking requirements, transportation to the course, safety issues, and course design. After signilicant public input, the Vail Town Council approved the Booth Creek Par 3 Golf Course. Please contact Russell Forrest at 479-2138 if you would like tapes or minutes from these Town meetings. Thank you for your cooperation and we look fonrard to reviewing the draft environmental assessment.

Applicant: Planner: Applicant: Planner: Explanation of public notice by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - a request for a Section 404 permit (discharge of fill material) for the proposed nine-hole, par 3 golf course, located between l-70 and Bald Mountain Road. Town of Vail Jim Curnutte WITHDRAWN Vail Recreation District Mike Mollica/Russ Forrest Russ Forrest reviewed the letter from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the PEC and stated that the U.S. Corps of Engineers is now soliciting comments from the public on this project. Diana Donovan inquired as to whether the U.S. Corps of Engineers would be coming to a PEC meeting. Russ Forrest said that PEC needs to notify them by February 8, 1993 and invite them to a hearing, if that is desired. The next step will be an environmential assessment and more public hearings (i.e. an environmental impact assessment with more public input). Diana Donovan inquired why a hearing was necessary. Russ Forrest stated that a hearing would provide a public forum to idenlify environmental issues that need to be addressed in the Corps' environmental assessment. Kristan Pritz stated that this could come from the adjacent property owners. Kristan said that Rob Robinson had told her that he had offered to notify the adjacent property owners but the Corps would not allow this. She staied that this is a strange process. Gena Whitten inquired whether such a hearing would include safety issues. Russ Forrest stated that the Corps is requiring an individual 404 Permit because of safety concerns and cumulative impact to wetlands in the Vail Valley. Russ Forrest stated that the main issue was whether the par 3 golf course was worth the loss of 112 acre of wetland and 1 0 acre ft. of water being laken out, potentially impacting four endangered fish species. Diana Donovan stated that wetland and cumulative effects of the project would also be a main consideration. Planning and Envlronmental Commlsslon January 25,1993 9 Kristan Pritz stated that stalf does not have a clear position on this issue. She also stated that even if PEC deems a public hearing appropriate, that the Corps could still say such hearing is inappropriate. Russ Forrest suggested a scoping meeting might be helpful for issues to be assessed under an environmental impact statement. Dalton Williams questioned whether such a public hearing would be economically feasible for the Federal Government and a good use of tax dollars. Diana Donovan stated that a forum would be necessary. Dalton Williams stated that a process in the Town would also be necessary. Diana Donovan stated that there was no such process. Dallon Williams stated that such a process would be inefficient and expensive. He also wondered why this issue could not be discussed at a PEC meeting. Buss Forrest stated that it was up to the public and the Corps to identify the issues. Kristan Pritz stated that Rob Robinson had olfered to put an ad in the Vail Daily and the Corps did not seem to like this idea. Russ Forrest stated that the Corps has given the Town three options: 1.) submit comments by February 8, 1993; 2.) hold aclosed meeting with Corps; 3.) or request a public forum. Kristan Pritz said that the rules specify that closed meetings are not allowed because the public must have access to lhem. Diana Donovan suggested that Town Council should recommend such a meeting. Kathy Langenwalter agreed with Diana Donovan and motioned that Town Council make a recommendation for a hearing but that PEC needs to better informed of what the golf course is doing (i.e. {ill, plans). Chuck Crist seconded the motion with Dalton Williams opposing the motion because he feels such a hearing is a waste of taxpayer's money. 7. Kathy Langenwalter motioned that the minutes of the PEC meeting of January 1 1, 1993 be approved and Dalton Williams seconded the motion. The minules were then approved. 8. Further discussion was held concerning the Lauterlcach project. 9. A discussion was held concerning term limitations. Planning and Environmental Commlssion January 25, 1993 10 / L ,{ l\u" TO WHOI.! IT MAY CONCERN: SUBJECT: Application for a Departnent of the Arrny perrnit underauthority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to discharge fillrnaterial into wetlands adjacent to a tributary of Booth creek inVail, Colorado, as shown in the attached drawings. Public Notice APPLICANT:vail valley Recreation District 292 West Meadow DriveVaiJ., Colorado 81657 LOCATION! Between Interstate 70 and Bald Mountain Road in theeastern part of the town of Vail, Eagle County, colorado. PITRPOSE: To, construct the support facilities for and portions ofa nine:holer, par : golf courEe. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: :The project is the construction of a publicpar 3, nine-hole golf course on 13.7 acres of land. The impactsto wetlands are from the proposed construction of a golf coursemaintenancer/operations building, a parking lot, one iee and onegreen within portions of a O.7-acre wetland in the eastern cornerof the,property. The applicant proposes to discharge a total of,1,012 gubic yards of fill naterial into 0.28 acre (72,2oo squarefeet) of wetlands. The applicant also proposes to temporarilydisturb 0.26 acre of wetlands during thL construction oe tne - facillties. A total of 0.5 acre of wetlands nilt be disturbedduring this project with the.restoration of o.2G acre of wetlandstenporarily disturbed. : AREA DESCRIPTION: The project site is located in the eastern endof the Vail Valley on the north Eide of core Creek at a higherelevation than the core Creek floodplain. The VaiI Valley is a narrohr nontane valley at an elevation of 8r8OO feet above mean cEsPK-CO-O PI'BLIC NOTTCE NUI4BER T99275078 ;fanuary 8, 1993 'sea Level. Historically, the valley floor was a mosaic of wetlands and riparian forest adjacent to Gore Creek, but the''.valley has been heavily developed in the last twenty years. Mostof-the 13.7 acres is a dry rneadow with a small scrub/shrub and emergent wetland on the eastern edge of the property. ADDITIONAIJ INFORMATION: This project could have been authorized by Departrnent of the Army nationwide general perrnit number 26 asthe wetlands are isolated and the impacts are less than one acre. The Corps of Engineers exerted discretionary authority on thisproJect and suspended nationwide qeneral perrnit authority. weare requiring an individual pernit application for two reasons.Firstly, the Corps was concerned about the cumulative inpacts toaquatic resources in the area due to the history of urban development. Secondly, the project site Ls a narrow strip ofland inmediately adjacent to Interstate 7O on the-southern border and a housing developrnent on the norther border. Due to thepossible safety issue concerning errant golf balls striking autorrobiles travelling at high speeds and local controversy aboutthis proJect, the Corps decided that a individual pernit review and a public notice were warranted. ALTERNATIVES: The applicant provide-d-an on-site alternativesanalysis but did not include an of,f-site alternatives analysiswith the perrnit application. The project is designed toalleviate the congestion on Vailrs championship golf course sothe project must be close to Vail. Since most of Vail is heavily developed, a search for another suitable parcel of property would have to be west of Vail tor,rards Avon. The terrain rises tosteeply east of Vail to provide suitable sites. We do not haveinfornation on the presence or absence of an available site westof Vail. The applicant identified the western end of the property as onealternative location for the naintenance building and parkingIot. The applicant maintains that this was not a practicablealternative because the resLdents of Bald Mountain Road objectedto the increased traffic on the road. The course witl only have 24 parking spaces which indicates that nost players wLII arriveat the course via public transportation or walking from the nearby developments. . The,applicant also provided'linited analysis of why the building had to be located. in, wetlands. Theapplicant stated that fire departrnent regrulations reguired that allstructuresbewithin15ofeetoffiretruckaccesspoints. Reasons against the location of the building and parking lot inuplands south and east of the their current locations w6re notgiven in the pernit application. The applicant has proposed a rnitigation plan which wilr atternptto create wetlands at 1.3:1 ratio (created to irnpacted) in thesoutheastern corner of the site. The created wellands will beadjacent to a golf course pond proposed, in this area. The applicant has requested water quality certification inaccordance with Section 401 af the CWA fioro the ColoradoDepartment of Health. Written cornments on water qualitycertification should be subnitted to Mr. J. nober€ owenl planning and standards section, cororado Departrnent of Health, 4ioo cherrfcreek Drive south, Denver, colorad.6 8o222-Ls3o, on or beforeFebruary 8, 1993. The cororado_ Departrnent of Eeatth also reviews each project withrespect to the anti-degradation provisions in state iegurations.Por the project which is the subject of this pubric noi,ice, thecolorado Department of Health rral prelininariiy deternl_ned'thisproject will have temporary adversE impacts on water quality. The latest pubrished version of the Nationar Register of HistoricPlaces and its rnonthly suppLements have been reiiewed and thereare no places either listed or reconmended as eligible whichwould be affected. This project would create a net average annual water depletion of10 acre feet from the upper colorado niver Basin.

Certainly, another opinion couldnrt hurt. I am worrj.ed about vhat. will happen to the land if the project does not Prove to be a rnoney maker. WiLl the town be able to continue to provj.de funds for regular upkeep to keep the course looking first class if it is J-oslng money? And finaLly, lhe dominant argumenE I heard at the meetlng in favor of the golf course was thaE the land as it now exists is no Breat thing of beauty and a golf course will be a visual improvement. l,le11, r.rhat about a liEtLe enhancement of wha t, is already there? It occurs to me that planting some trees and wildflovers could turn the area into something the town and neighborhood residents could be proud of. I don'L recall this course of action being presented as an alternative, but r,rhat. about it? Remernber r once we have the golf course there is no golng back. For the future, please consider actlon that vill Put our remaining open spaces at, less risk. For the good of the town r"re need to preserve these places fron being continuously chlpped anay.

Land Use PIan stat,es in paragraph #3, Page44t "This tract ffi in the patt is I possible location for an executlve par 3 golf course, however it is not large enough to accommodate such a use. A well planned l8-hole par 3 course requires 50 to 50 acres. A 9-hole par 3 course couldpossibly be accomplished on as little as 20 acres, however this site is only 14 acres and therefore would not accommodate an "executlve" type course very adequately.

It should be noted that this tract is 13.7 acres and that the flgures quoted above are for the actuaL course (golfing holes) and do not include acreage necessary for adjunct support facilitles such as a clubhouse, parking lots, bus and car turn arounds, storm sheLt,ers, etc. Mr. Phelps' letter states J.n paragraph 2, "the site is not large enough to design, construct and operaLe a safe golf facility. In today's lltigious society sre are very concerned that serious accidents and disruptions will occur that wiLl result in lawsuits against the district." "The corridor width is 150' through the center of the site which is considerably less than that recomrnended by the American Society of Golf Course Architects and the National Golf Foundation. A corridor for a regulation hole is a minlmum of 300', so even considering the par-3, it should not be less than 200 feet. A side-by-side golf hole scenario has a minimum of 500' with consideration for the par-3 holes, this might drop to 400 feet. CbPY Page 2 Once again, the Courts are well-versed in these dimensions andshould lnjury or danage occur, an trexpert witness" familiar withthese st,andards w111 testify as such", " Walks such as those betsreen I to 2, 2 to 3 and 7 to 8 are all dangerous considerlngthose people hitting balls directly at the waLker", "severalcenterlines of fairways are entlrely too close" (to privateproperty lines)",'"I{e just feel there ls not enough room to fitwhat you would like lnto this slte.", "We realize that we are commenting on a preliminary sketch plan, but afLer 30 years in thebusiness, we do not see a reasonable solution that would vary thatmuch." It should also be noted that Mr. Phe1ps' credibility isfurther substantiated by the fact that he has built over 50 golf courses and belongs to the natlonal organizat.ions of golf courEearchitects and landscape archltects as weII as the National GolfFoundation. He states he has never had any litigation agalnst himconcerning his golf course designs. He is a respected and successful member of his professlon and hls golf courses have been recognized as outstanding by varlous media and organizations. Consequently, we feel his statements are valid ones. His comrnentthat "in clear conscience, we cannot recommend that you (the applicant) do this project" speaks for his integrity as aprofessional golf course architect. Why these documents were not addressed at the applicant,'s own lnltlative or by the Town of Vail Council j.s unknown. These documents are part of their own records' Politically or individually motlvated decisions by these entities are not ln the public's interest. Endorsement of this proposed project by the VaiI Town Counclf without knowledge of these documents or thorough exploratlon and dlscussion of their conclusions especially those relatlng to safety is also not in thepublic's interest. Other extremely slgnificant safety issues are discussed ln Document #3, Page 2, sectlon III. Please read them carefully. we are particularly concerned wlth the possible mud slide hazards in this area and thetr lmpacts on the safety of the users of this proposed golf course. We feel the possible debris flow represents a real danger to the players. Another concern is the effect of the proposed project on ltater qualtty ln our region. Levels of nitrates and phosphates and other pollutants have been found to have increased ln the area's stream (Gore Creek) since the construction of the present golf course adjacent to this water source. lve are concerned that another golf course in this area wlth addltional input of herbicides, fertilizers and pestlcides would further negatively impact the water quality in the Goxe Creek drainage. AIso we object to the fact that thls project !'rater use will deplete annually at I'east 10 acre feet from the upper Colorado River Basin with subsequent adverse effects on endangered species such as the Colorado Page 3 PY sguawfish, humpback chub, honeytail chub and razorback sucker.Other endangered species slted in our area as well as actually onthLs tract include the gray fox, moose and elk (please see Docunent#4.) Rather than conserving our resources, $re feel this proposedproject will not only deplete them, but waste valuable resources,1.e., water. As no Environnental Impact Statement has been done on thlstract, the plentiful wildllfe including flora and fauna has not been adequately identified as well as the project's detrimental lmpacts on their habitats - rlparian and otherwise (please see Document #3, Page 4, IV.) Incldently, we did a flfteen minuteplant identification study ln August 1992 and were able to identifyover 50 species (please see Docunent #5). tle have also spotted a raUher rare species of Warbler for our reglon: the MacGillivray'sl{arbler. We also feel that there ls not enough land on the east end ofthe site to construct everything propose{for thls area which lncludes the wetlands / riparian habitat (please refer to Document #4, Page 1, Section I and II.) Neighborhood concerns are also addressed in Document #3, Page 5, Section V. We would also like to clarify statements in regardto "public meetings" held concernlng this proposed proJect. Allbut four of these meetings were either staff or Vall RecreatlonDistrict or Tolrn of Vail board meetings not specificallv held for the sole discussion of the proposed proiect. AlLhough technically lly publlcized in oui local nevrspapers as forums encouraglng publlc lnput on this specific proposal. The VaiI Recreation Distrlct dld hold fourpubllc input sessions concerning this prbject. Tr"ro of these sesslons were not publlcized In articles ln our local nehrspapers and consequently poorly att,ended. The last two meetlngs were very well publicized and had signiflcant turnouts. Citizen input at these meetings reflected both oppositlon and suPPort of the proposed project. AIso, some adjacent property oldners were told employee housing would be bullt on this slte lf a golf course rdas not approved. The covenants of the Booth Creek flllng clearly state this is not an optlon. AIso, the open space deslgnation does not allow for public housing or housing of any kind. fn addition severa.L adjacent property ownera are in favor of this proposed project as "it will increase property values and lre can sel.l our property for more money". We do not feel that this is a valld o o o /n [nrl,ae Page 4 reason for constructing thts golf course. rt should be noted thatmany of the adjacent ownera are absentee oldners and rent theirproperty frequently, consequently they will not personallyexperience the impact of this project. There has been asignificant 'rgrass roots" effort to lnform the citlzens of the VailValley and our local government representatlves of the very seriousand detrirnenLal impacts this seemingly small proJecU will have onlocal wildlife, their habitat, hrater quality and guantity, safetyof adJacent owners inctuding children ln addition to those 20,000vehicles traveling on the adjacent lnterstate hlghway. Disturbingand destroying this snalt microcosm of our larger ecosystem isenvironmentally and economically unsound as the project lrould not be profitable for at least 7 to 10 years down the llne (please see Document #5. ) fn closlng we would like to quote the noted professor, Dr.Danlel D. Chlras from his book "Lessons from Naturer" Islands Pxess, L992, Page 25 "Lide in an ecosystem exists without ravagingthe soil, air, erater and plants" . In writing about our water resources, he states, "In Colorado and elsewhere in the West, thelack of social syner!try (i.e., a measure of cooperation between humanity and nature) has wrought unnecessary damage to mountain ecosyatems from dams and diversions. It has destroyedprecious riparian habltats and drled up streams vltal to nany speci"es of wildlife." We feel this site v,rarrants preservationrather than destruction.

Rob RobinsonVaiI Recreation District 292 West Meadon DriveVail, Colorado 8155? Dear ltr. Robinson: . T uT writing to you in regard to the Vail RecreationulsErrct's proposed par 3 Gorf course. we have concluded thepubric conrnent period for the public notice that we issued onthrs project. A majority of the connents fron private citizenswere opposed to the developnent of your project at the proposedlocation. By letter dated.February 17, 1993, you responded to theconments on this project by the U.S. Environnenlal protection Agency and the u.s. Fish ana wirarife service. The section 194(b) (1) Guidel-ines. (40 CFR part 230.10) state that, fordischarges into speeiil aquatic sites (witlands) trrat are notwater.dependent, there is-a rebuttable -presunption that lessdanaging practicabre alternatives exist- that bo not involve adischarge^into special aguatic sites. I{e do not believe thai anyof the inforraation subni€ted thus far, including your February 1?letter, has rebutted this presunption. You have not provided infornation that denonstrates that ?!l.I available_ properties do not exist that vould support thisdeveropnent within a short drive of vail. t{e have idLirtified twopracticabre alternatives on-site that uoutd be ress danaging tothe_ -aguatic environrnent. one alternative sould be to toiati ttreclubhouse and support facilities on the sestern end of theparcel. According to-your February 1?, 1993 letter, you can notgain access acrosi priiate land to the western end ir-tne parcel. 9!I_T."i"r of propeity boundary naps reveal. that the parceiDoundaries abut Bald Mountain road in the western end- of theparcel, and that access across private land. would not benecessary. You further stated that the neighboring connunityobjected to access on the western end of th; p";;i because ofincreased traffic on Bald Mountain Road. The'only conments whichwe received in support of your project were fron iesidents oi ----- I o BaId Uountain Road. If these residents wish to enjoy theecononic benefits of the course then they nay have t6 cope withthe increased traffic. your project caris f6r onry zl pirringspaces which does not seen to create a najor traffic prolten 6nthe road. the only public supporters for the project vouldYtlthclraw their support for the project vith a restern accesspgilt, you would nled to decide- if-you will build the coursewithout any pubric support. we do irot believe that confrlctswith your project supporters negates the practicability of usingthe cestern end of the parcel for access lnd clubhouseconstruction. Another alternative which would not create a conflict withyour supporters is to avoid netlands in construction offacilities in the eastern end of the parcel. The clubhouse andthe parking can be located in the eastern of the parcel withoutinpacting wetlands. There is sufficient space between the twowetlands and near the bern for Interstate ?0 to construct thesefacilities. In our review of your pernit application, we nust alsoconplete a public interest review (33 CFR 320.t). One factorin this public interest review is safety. Several of theconnents discussed the safety issue involved in building thiscourse on a narrow strip of land between the developnent andInterstate 70 (I-?O). We have a letter to you fron a noted golfcourse architect strongly reconnending that you do not build thecourse on this site because of the safety concerns of errant golfballs striking motorists on I-zo traveling at high rates ofspeed. The Torm of vailrs own land use plan states that thissite would not acconmodate a Par 3 nine Lole golf course becauseof insufficient acreage. We are concerned that construction ofthis^course nay not be in the public interest, particularty inthe interest of notorists in the west bound lane of I-20. Webelieve that you should provide better docunentation supportingyour position that the safety of notorists on f-ZO uill not beconpromised. Statenents fron the State Departnent of Transpor-tation and other agencies or organizations concerned with publicsafety and golf course design would be useful. b - If you can not provide infornation that the alternativeslisted above are not- practicable, including off sitealternatives, or answer our concerns on pultic safety, we uillnot be able to issue-a pernit for this pioject as pr6posed. you 9!9ufa provide this infornation yithin LS aays of Lne- date ofthis retter or notify this office that you witt le revising yourproject to avoid wetlands conpletely. ff you decide not to respond to this reguest, please notifythis office as soon as possible so that we cin continue toprocess your application. rf you have any additional guestions,please contact t[r.

The public meeting was called to order at2:25 p.m. by Chairperson Diana Donovan. 1. A request for a determination of the parking requirement for the proposed Booth Falls Par 3 Golfcourse, located on Tract A, Vail Village 13th Filing. Applicant: VailRecreationDistrictPlanner: Mike Mollica Kristan Pritz announced that there would be a general public meetlng on August 20th at 7:00 p.m. She asked that comments at today's meeting be kept to a minimum if they did not concem the parking issue so that other items on the agenda could be addressed. Diana Donovan reiterated that the PEC was here to discuss parking, but that other comments would be noted. Mike Mollica went into the background of the propefi. DRB does need to approve the project, but this meeting is being held to determine the number of parking spaces lo be required for the course. Jim Morter, architect for the starter shack, has done an analysis of the parking space need, as did the slaff. Mike Mollica reviewed the analysis done, which came up with a need lor 24 parking spaces. He also mentioned that the project will be reviewed after one year lo see whether any more spaces will be needed. Jim Morter of Morter Architects, the architect for the starter house came up with approximately the same number of spaces, but used a different analysis. Kalhy Langenwalter asked where handicapped parking fit in. Jim Morter said that two handicapped spaces were planned, and these were included in the numbers mentioned earlier. Dalton Wlliams suggested that we lay out now the spaces that might be needed after one year. Jim Morter said that that had been done. Greg Amsden said we should look for maximum need for parking. Jeff Bowen questioned Jim Morter's statement that the parking area would not be used in the winter time. He responded that this is a request from the residenb. Dalton Williams said that the lot mlght be used by people who drive to the road and then take the bus into town. Mike Mollica read two letters received by the Town from area residents. Afler being questioned about whether the course would be revenue-producing, Rob Robinson, Director of the Vail Recreation District said that the Vail Golf Course is, as will this course be after approximately 7 years. Diana Donovan asked about traffic safety issues. Kristan Pritz responded that these are to bs reviewed by the Design Review Board. Jim Morter said that the Public Works Department will also review the traffic safety issues. The environmental issues will be addressed by Ure Recreation District at the August 20th meeting. Greg Amsden said that a water qualily study is currently being done for the Town of Vail and the Vail Golf Course is being studied which may relate to the Par 3 Golf Course. Diana Donovan then asked if there was any public input, and the following people responded. Rob Ford, a resident of Bald Mountain Road said that winter parking for bus riders could be a problem as the buses are already overcrowded. He said you have to get on the bus going eastbound in order to eventually get to Vail. Tim Musko, an East Vail resldent, agreed with the use of the bus. He said there were no solid numbers. He also believes the parking will be an eyesore, but berms might help. He wanted to know if an environmental study had been done. He said he has 150 signatures of people who are opposed to the course. He said that he was not aware of the previous public meetings that were held on this question. ln response to that statement, Rob Fobinson said the Rec. District ran $120.00 worth of ads. Kristan added lhat the meeting on the 20th is being facilitated by the Town of Vail and notices will be sent to adjacent property owners. She suggested that the District might want to run some more ads and the Town will talk lo some of the local reporters about getting an article in the papers. Tom Krebs thought the issue was all about money. He felt everything is being paved and irrigated. Tom Fitch stated he liked life in the valley the way it is. He thought open space should be kept wild and doesn't think this is an appropriale use of public money. Evie Knott of 2645 Bald Mountain Road claimed she did not receive notification of earlier meetings. She was concerned about the number of parking spaces and is opposed to the project. She thought someone should check the Eagle- Vail Par-3 Golf Course for the number of cars. She was also very concerned about safety and wanted a decision on the parking to be tabled until after the August 20 meeting. Peter Schaefer of 2650 Bald Mountain Road had several concerns. He purchased his house because of the open space and he believed the parking and traffic are pretty bad now. He wanted to know if a study had been done on whether there is a need for a par-3 golf course, and he questioned the satety of the houses around the golf course and the cars going down F70. Greg Amsden talked about zoning. Kristan Pritz said that a leilse for fre golf course had not yet been signed, and that some issues have been raised regarding the environmental impacts and that they will be answered at the 20th meeting. Gail Malloy mentioned lhat all recreational parking in Eagle-Vail is in the Battle Mountain High School parking lot. Fob Ford asked Diana Donovan whether she was privately involved in fighting the golf course and she answered that she was not. Herman Stauffer thought that the project should be blessed today. Colleen McOarthy said that the issue today is parking and that if a major portion of the community is opposed, that the project would be withdrawn. Jim Morter again reiterated that we are today dealing -2- o 2. with parking. He also mentioned that the Eagle-Vail Par-3 course does not have a parking lot and asked the Planning Commission to keep an open mind. Sonny Caster of Bald Mountain Road, who represented six other residents, is for the prdect. He also mentioned that he had received every single notice that was sent out on lhls project. Gail Malloy, a resident of Manns Ranch Road, was very concerned about the parking if the lot were to be plowed. She did not think it was cunently a prelty piece of properg now and there remained 500,000 acres of wilderness just a short distance away. Dalton Williams asked if the Fire Department needs a plowed access. Gail Malloy responded that a fire lane would be fine. Nancy Upsky seconded everything hat Sonny Caster said. She stated that at the last meeting, a majority of the people was for the project. She stated that lhe plans for the golf course show a very natural area, not mowed grass, and she mentioned that Bald Mountain Road has a lot of natural snow melt. Evie Knot wanted to know how parking will be prevented as the snow mells. Kathy Langenwalter said that the PEC should go with what the staff recommends. She wanted 24 spaces plus two handicapped spaces, and the capability to expand to 30. Ghuck Crist requested lhat the course be heavily bermed and the parking closed in the winter. Greg Amsden wanted to plan for 28-30 cars, with an additional 6-8 for expansion. He favored berming and heavy landscaping. Dalton Williams wanted 23- 24 spaces plus the handicapped spaces and was in favor ol planning for the expansion and also berming. He said that the intersection is bad and maybe some work should be done to improve it. Jetf Bowen and Gena Whitten agreed with the previous comments. Greg Amsden talked about lhe liability lo cars being hit by a ball and going off the road. He believed major liability coverage was needed for an event like that. Diana Donovan wanted 24 spaces and two handicapped spaces, and six additional spaces to be designed for later use. Greg Amsden said that if the parking lot is fulland people start parking on Bald Mountain Road, something will need to be done. Kristan Pritz mentioned that an agreement might be made with Vail Mountain School if overflow parking is needed. Chuck Crist wanted to know when play will start. Jim Morter was not sure. Dick Bailey, landscape architect for the course, thought they would get grading and sod in place this fall, making the course playable for the fall of 1993 or mid-summer 1994. Evie Knott wanted to know if 30 spaces could be staked before the August 20 meeffng so people could see where the parking lot would be. lt was agreed lhat this was a good ldea. Access to the lot would be from Bald Mountain Road. The total acreage of the project ls 14 acres. Kathy Langenwalter made a motion to determine the parking requirement to be 24 spaces and two handicapped spaces, with a capability to expand to 30, based on a review 1-year after opening of the course. Gena Whitten seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously. A request for an amendment to an approved development plan to allow the shifting of the building envelopes at The Valley, Phase lv/l700 Block of Buffehr Creek Road.

As you are aware, the golf course project is proceeding through the D-e_signf|eview Board phase, and is currently scheduled for a final review on September 16, 1992. There are a number of outstanding issues that need to be finalized, and the Community Development Department will not be able to issue any grading andor building permits until all of the outstanding issues are resolved. Some of the outstanding issues are as follows: 1. Tho Army Corps of Engineers must 'sign off" on the project, via the issuance ol a 404 Permit for the we[ands. 2. A geologic hazard investigation must be submitted to the Town, due to the fact that a portion of the property is located in a moderate hazard debris flow area. 3. Agreement must be reached with the Upper Eagle Valley Water and Sanitation Dislrict with regard to their proposed Black Lakes mitigation plan, which includes a portion of the proposed par-3 golf course property. 4- Final approval from the Town's public Works Department is required. 5' The Town Council's approval of a lease with the Vail Flecreation District will also be required. 6- A completed materials list and landscape plan identifying all the plant materials.

Ken Wilson, Chairman of the VRD, reviewed the chronologr of the Par 3 Golf Course planning and public meetings from August 9, 1989, through August 72, L992. Mr. Wilson gave a detailed analysis and follow-up to the results of a 1991 informal suwey used to obtain public input regarding organizational changes the \rRD was contemplating. He stated the VRD prioritized its funding endeavors in response to the survey results, and noted the Par 3 Golf Course was ranked as iten 13 on that suney.

Following the VRD presentations, Council questions focused primarily on concems about environnental impacts, water use, safety issues, fi)Vs legal liabilities, problems with the bus stop and turning of buses on Bald Mountain Road, parling in general, and winter usage of the etarter house. There was brief discussion about what pemitted and conditional us€e were allowed for the site. Kristan Prita later briefly addreseed permitted zoning uses. After IauMesKimen, member of the \IRD, first spoke in favor of the project, Glharlie Iangmaidspoke in opposition. He read, in full, a letter dated April 1, 1992, to Rob Robinson from Richard M. Phelps' golf course desig:ner. Mr. Phelps had originatly been eelected by the VRD as one of three finalists being considerd to design the ploposed oourse, but, a&,er his review of aerial photos of the proposed cour;e site, he wrote to ask the \mD b withdraw him fmnr. further eonsideration as a pos8ible q designer of the course. His letter elaboratd on a number of concerns regarding safegr issues related to site limitations. Mr. Bailey, the architect choeen for the project, eaid Mr. -PbelpJ t,esponse was based on preliminary ehet hes.

Paul Rondeau, resident on the Championship C.olf Course, inquired as to- where the pmposed Par 3 Crolf Course would be in relation to the 1100 acres ofTOV op"o ipace, and how the 1,400 acres were categorized. He felt many rresidents were lnawate of,where fOV"s open spaoe arreas were. Evie Nott, Formder of the Nature Center, displayed recent photographs of theproposed golf courte site, and included a list of wildflowers now there.

Our understanding of a dog park is that it is a location where dog owners can lake lheir pets to run loose within a fenced area. Dog parks are especially popular in urban city settings and in communities requiring that dogs be kept on leashes when in public parks. According to the Official Town of Vail Zoning Map, the "Par Three" property is zoned "Outdoor Recreation." Pursuant to this designalion, "active public outdoor recreation areas"(such as a dog park) are a conditional use and subject to the issuance of a condilional use permil. The approval process for the establishment of a dog park on the property would involve a conditional use permit review by the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC). The Commission will evaluate the proposal for issues such as parking, impacts to adjacent properties, public health and safety concerns and environmental conditions would be addressed. Additionally, a dog park proposal would be routed through the Design Review Board process lo ensure compliance with the town's park design guidelines. A development review process of 4-6 weeks would be typical for a project of this scope. {Stn otor""o 7'20'7/ Bootb crrck par 3 Envlronncatel Revlew/*ta n2,fr2 Th'e goal of VRD's golf/parks naintenance program is to produceexcellent playing conditions in an econonical and environmentally soundnanner. This goal is accomplished by responsible use of clinaticallyadapted turf and prant species, water, fertirizer and pesticides (iirequired) . Our professionaL approach to turf/landscape nanagtement is based onuniversity proven cultural practices including integrated pest management (I.P.M.). I.P.U. involves constant nonitoring of planthealth, proper diagnosis of pest inJury, selection of the safesteffective control (chenical or otherwise) to prevent econornic damage tothe landscape. The staff combines college level training, Colorado pesticideapplicator licenses, regular turf industry seninars, and years ofexperience to professionally naintain our facilities. In addition roeonsulting with Colorado State University, U.S. Gol,f Associationagronomists, a sports turf consultant help us use the best up to date technolog"y to accomplish our goals. fater U3e Considerations Irrigation for golf turf is based on its needs for adequate growthto recover fron wear and provide an aesthetically pleasing landscape. The cool season of itationttor-8o* of evapotranspiration orve watering that would cause run off is avoided.e annuallv. lfe atte F-n-e=a6tr;--xeess of a turf onapproxinately 217,000 lIonsrecon 20 lreper ueek to supplll I inch of(or 5 nonths) of possible irrigatToncourse would require about 4,340,000 gallcns annual-ly. Supply wiIIJ" Lap rron munJ,crpar suppffincl or Ene srEe. e be a 3'! tap fron rnunicipal supp@nd of the site.This tap will have no affect on water pressure in the Booth Creek area. Fertiliger/ch€nical Use Consillerations Sertilizer use is based on annual soil analysis reports. Inaddition, nitrogen (the prirnary nutrient used by turf) is applied at therate of (1) pound actual N per 1,000 sg. ft. per growing nonth. (Theaverages 60-65 lb. Nitrogen per acre per growing nonth). pesticides used include herbicides (broadJ.eaf and grassy weed) and fungicides(prinarily for snow mold, a winter/spring dlseasey. pesticides aie usedonly as needed with preventative treatments used on greens, tees, andfairways for snow rnold. No restricted use pesticides are used althoughthey are legal for golf course use. Sprayers and spreaders arecalibrated for exact rates according to labEl instructioni. VirtuallyaII pesticides we use are available to the general public as areMaterial Safety Data sheets outlining potential hazards and preventativesafety methods.The presence of deer, foxes, marnots, waterfowl, squi.rrels,beavers, and the abundance of birds is clear evidence that we arepreserving the environnent and not destroying it as sone would have usbelieve. e lrbl. 16!

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Upon review of the appllcant's request and based upon the analyses in Section ll above, the staff would recommend that a total of 24 parking spaces be required for the proposed 9-hole, par-S golf @urse. Because we readily acknowledge that this parking analysis is based upon a number of assumptions, the staff would also recommend that the par-3 golf course tacilig be reviewed by the PEC one year from lts initial opening date. The Intent of this review would be to determine if the required number of parking spaces is sutficient. Should the estimates made by the planning staff be low, and the 24 parking spaces prove to be insufficient to handle the parking needs of the golf course, the PEC would then have the opportunity to require additional parking at this one-year review. The initial design of fre parking area should allow for a possible future expansion of perhaps four to eight additional spaces. cfn*a\r|lflrB\lE 3 -2- A Proless,ona Cof gof atron '!43 Ea:: l,1ea3--){ 9.rre Cross.aa:s a: va r Va CciJrarc 8l€57 3i3 4;6 5105 MonrenAncn[EcTs July 20, 1992 Planning and Envlronnental Cornrnission Menbers Greg AmsdenJeff Bowen Chuck Crist Diana Donovan Kathy Langenwalter E:*"fi"ii*i"'= Dear PEC Members, We'll be coming to see you at the Plannlng and Environnental Connission neeting on August 10, to confirrn the nunber of parking spaces required for the proposed Par Three GoIf Course at the Booth creek area.

Once you have analyzed the parking needs for the golf course, please submit a written request to the Town indicating the Planning and Environmental Commission meeting date you would like to attend. This request must be submitted approximately 3 weeks prior to lhe hearing date, in order for the proper publishing to occur. I have enclosed a PEC submittal date schedule for your inlormation. As we also discussed, it will be necessary for the Par-3 Golf Course design to be reviewed by the Design Review Board. ll you should have any comments or questions on any of the above, please teel free to contact me at 479-2138.

As you are aware, the golf @urse project is proceeding through tho Deslgn Review Board phase, and is currently scheduled for a linal review on September t6, 1992. There are a number of outstanding issues that need to be finalized, and the Community Development Department will not be able to issue any grading andor building permits until all of the outstanding issues are resolved. Some of the outsfanding issues ire as follows: 1. The Army Corps of Engineers must "sign off" on the project, via the issuance of a 404 Permit for the weflands. 2. A geologic hazard investigation must be submifted to the Town, due to ttre fact that a portion ol he property is located in a moderate hazard debris flow area. 3. Agreement must be reached with the Upper Eagle Valley Water and Sanitation District with regard to their proposed Black Lakes mitigation plan, which includes a portion of the proposed par-3 golf course property. 4. Final approval from the Town's public Works Department is required. 5. The Town Council's approval of a lease with the Vail Recreation District will also be required. 6. A completed malerials list and landscape plan identifying all the plant materials. Diana Donovan Page Two As a result of Wednesday's conceptual revier,rr at the Design Fleview Board meeting, my understanding is that minor changes will be made to tre parking layout, as well aslo ttie landscape plan. These changes will be lurther reviewed by thaDHB at their next meeting. should any of the issues above involve changes to the overall design of the projecl then additional review by the DRB may be necessary. Diana, please feel lree to call me at your convenience if you should have any further questions or con@rns, or if you would like to discuss any of these issues fuiher.

Box 1547 Vall, Colorado 81658 l{ay 2, L984 Re: Fill and Regrading Tract A, Vail Village l3th Filing Dear Ken, At lts recent annual meet.ing, the Booth creek Townhouse Associatlon re- viewed your proposal for firl and regrading l-n Tract A. The AssocLation wlshes to express Lhe following concerns regardlng the project: 1. The length of time required to complete the proJect should be shortened. The Booth creek Townhouses are located irnuediately downwLnd of the slte and would be signlflcantly lnpacted by windbLown dust and dirt. The dust and dlrt would orlginare from the dumplng of fill and fron the stored top- sol1. 2. The amount of topsoil to be stripped should increase. The topsoLllayer in the area is deep enough to alLow additional stripping, and the replacenenL of a thlcker layer of topso{l would lmprove the chances fora successful revegetation program. 3. The AssoclaEion urges a more agressive revegetation program. Tract Ais a breeding ground for Canadian Thistl-es. Disturbing the area woul-d allowthe Thistles to become even more widespread in Tract A and the downwind areas of the Booth creek subdivislons. Our experience with revegetation inthe area indicates that the mountain mLx method proposed requires severalyears to fill ln, with the best results obtalned when the rnlx Ls pracdd lnthe spring while the ground is still wet. 4. other concerns raised by out members included increased wear and tearto an aLready dislntegratrng frontage road caused by the heavy truck trafflc, and the possibility of additional driftlng of snou caused by the changesin the contours in the area. rn view of these concerns, the Association does not, support your proposal.in lts current form. Please contact me if I may be of further assistance in thls matter. Slncerely , BOOTH CREEK TOWNI1OUSE ASSOCIATION.".".."' -t 4 "' /'-arl-t / /"^({ {;a^I{) v, ". i a "n r JES/lfc cci A. Peter Paften
