Dear Kristan:
The top of the elevator shaft for our parking structure will be no
higher than 8182 feet, as reviewed and approved by the DRB last year.I have directed our architect to make the necessary changes to
accomplish this.
I believe this should resolve this issue. Please let me know if I can
provide any further clarification.

Dear Kristen:
During the plan check for the parking structure, h/e were told to install anoil separator on the floor drains. Drains in the bottom one and one-half
levels will be connected to the sanitary sewer system, and will have an oil
and sand interceptor in-line.
Drains on the top two levels wil1 be tied into our storm sewer system. These
drains are sized to accommodate 555 gallon per minute of surface drainage. Anoil-interceptor sufficiently sized to handle this flow would have to be 176
feet )ong,5'-6" wide and 4'-4"" deep.
In talking with Susan Scanlon, I understand that this requjrement has not beenuniformly imposed on all similar parking structures, most recent'ly thefacility the Town is currently building in the Vil1age. In vjew of this fact,
and the extraordinary size such an interceptor would have to be, we request
that you reconsider this stipulation.

Dear Dan,
Your letter of October 19, 1990 concerning the fj-ltration
requirements for the hospital parking structure was passed onto ne for response by Kristan Pritz. Please forgive the delayin responding to your letter but I felt it was necessary toresearch the facts before I responded to prevent a
miscommunication or inaccurate communication of information.
I have reviewed the plans for the hospital parking structure to
determine exactly what was approved under the building permit.
The plans show the lower levels of the structure drainingthrough a sand and oi1 interceptor before entering the sanitarysewer. The upper levels are sboern to drain through the stormdrain and ultinately to the creek. However, on the cornment
sheet attached to the building pernit Joe Norris noted underiten 15 that drainage of the top 1evel of the parking structurebe provided through the sand and oil interceptor. Thisconstituted a requirement of the approval of the building permit
for the parking structure.
I have also researched the conditions at the Town's VilJ-ageparking structure. All levels of the previously existingstructure drained and continue to drain through a sand and oilinterceptor prior to exiting to the storm drain and the creek.This portion of the structure was constructed prior to the waterdistrict's approval for drainage of the lower levels of suchstructures to be allowed into the sanitary sewer.
The new addition to the structure is constructed and equippedwith sand and oil interceptors in the following combinatj.ons.
The lower levels (enclosed levels) of the addition drain through
COP Y
a sand and oil interceptor before going to the sanitary selrer.
The upper level , that which would be affected by stor:m run-off
passe- through a sand and oil trap before passing into the storut
sewer and ul-tinately-into.*th.q greek.r; \ i I l" -:
The decision sas oade to allow the existing portion of the
parking structure to continue to drain as it had previously as apre-existing condition. The decision rras made based on the factthat all portions of the existing structure drain tbrough the
sand and oil interceptor prior to enterj.ng the storn drain
systen and the creek. Ultirnately the best solution in both
cases would be to have everything drain into the sanitary sewer,
but Upper Eagle Valley is not equipped to acconmodate such
volurnei. As a result the upper levels of the structures which
are affected by storo run-off nust blpass the sanitary sewer
system.
In light of this infonnation and the review of the building
penoit approval , the staff does not feel it would be appropriate
to reconsider the stipulation that the drairts for the top two
Ievels drain through a sand and oil interceptor or other
appropriate filtration systen prior to discharging into the
creek.
ff you have any further guestions concerning this matter Pleasefeel free to contact ne at 479-2L38.

Dear Kristan:
I would like to submi t. this revised Landscape PLan for the April 3rd DRB
review .
The approved p1-an shows thr6e traneplanted Spruce trees from Ehe Vail- National
Bank property. Thes€ trees r^rere transplanted on the Bank property and ar6 now
not available. VJe propose to substituEe 14' Spruce for the transplanted
trees.
Th€re has been some minor traffic accidents at the entranc€ to the parking
structure and the Medical Center is concerned about sight lines in Ehis area.
I am proposing to substitute perennials in Ehe area where we had .Iunipers,
Potentil-la and th€ Amur Maples. Quantity revisions are as follows:

Dear Shelly:
I am responding to your notification yesterday, that the parking requirementfor Learning Center has been increased by two spaces, making a total of 19
required spaces.
The hospital can accommodate these additional two spaces w'ithin the surplusparking spaces, which wi I I be avai lable on completion of the parking
structure.
You state in your letter to Dan Feeney, dated 29 0ctober 1990, that at the
time that the Learning Center conditional use permit was approved, the
hospital had a surplus of twelve parking spaces. Our parking requirenents atthis time were based on approved figures for the 86-87 expansion andprojections for the 89-90 expansion, calculated using the same town formula
applied to all previous expansions. The 89-90 figure include day-shift
employee projections which were calculated in 1988. In June 1990, we
re-surveyed our day-shift employee projections and determined that the actualfigure is lower than anticipated in 1988. The revised figures were submittedto the town in our approved application for the l'lRI expansion ('letter toKristen Pritz from Dan Feeney, dated 25 June 1990). Our revised parking
requirement at this time was stated (in the same letter) as follows:

0f the 327 spaces available, 20 spaces are comm'i tted for use by the Doubletree
Hotel and B spaces are contractually committed for use by Vail National Bank.
This leaves 299 spaces available for use by the hospital. Therefore, after
the approval of our MRI expansion, ve have eight surplus parking spaces.
The eight surplus parking spaces can accommodate the additional two spaces
required for the Learning Center, plus leave sufficient surplus parking shouldVail National Bank exercise its' option to purchase four more spaces in theparking structure.
At present, we have no indication whether or not Vail National Bank will
exercise this option. In our agreement with Vail National Bank, the bank hasten business days to exercise their option, following the date on which wegive notice to Vail National Bank of the issuance of a temporary certificateof occupancy for the use of the parking structure.
VNB has already exercised their first option to purchase an irrevocable
license to use eight spaces in the parking structure and has issued a letterof credjt to us for payrnent. Vail Valley Medical Center is contractually
corrnitted to allow VNB the use of the eight spaces, six of whjch will supporttheir bui lding expansion.

Dear Dan:
I am writing to formalize our conversation last week. As we
discussed. the Town will be able to release the Temporary Certificateof Occupancy (T.C.O.) fox the Learning Center when requested, providedall buil-ding' code requirements are fulfilled. The followingconditions will apply to the project when the T.C.O. i-s released:
1. The lowest L/2 Level of the parking structure may be usedfor contractor storage until June 1, 1991 . After June 1,1991, all parking must be available within the structure andsurface parking on site. If this parking is not available
on June 1, the Medical- Center must provide the Town with
documentation of alternative parking.
2. No building permits will be released for the proposedconstruction at the Vail National Bank until all of the Vai]
VaLley Medical Center parking is availabl-e.
It is our understanding that you agree to these conditions fromprevious discussions with you. Should you have any questions orconcerns, please contact me at 479-2138.

Dear Dan,
Upon review of the plans subnitted for building petmit for tlre
Learning Center to be located in the lower level of the Vail
Valley Medical Center Parking Structure, I have discovered that
due to changes in the floor plans the parking reguirement for thefacility nust be increased. The following ie a comparlgon of theoriginat parking requirenent and tlre new parking reguired:

The additLonal 6 spaces whlch are required at this tfune are dueto the reorganization of space and the increase in sguare footage
belng used for the facillty. While the conference area has
Eenerated a parking reguirennent, the increase in reguired spaces
should not be attributed dlrectly to thls area. As you can aeethe change in the overall facillty has generated the need for
additLonal parking. Tlre following details the changes:

The records show that at the tfune of approval of the Learning

parking spaces. However, ELnce that tirne the Vail National Bank
has received permlssion to lncrease square footage condltional
upon the purchase of parkLng apaces from \ /llc. Their expansion
required 6 parking spaces and it nas reported that they had
purchased 8 and had an option on the renaining 4.
fn order to release the building pernit for the Learning Center,it is necessary that the office of conmunlty Development receive
proper certification that at least 6 parking spaces of tbe 12
surplus are available for excluELve use by ValI National Bank and
the- remalning 6 be availabte for vvl'lc. I believe Vail National
Bank may also need to agree to tbis.

The DurDose of ttrl.s neno ls to lnforn the PEc of the staffrs
actiln ioncerning parking for the Learning Center Lab. In April
1990, the Planntng-and Envl.ronnental CornnisElon approved a
requist by the Vail Vattey Medlcal Center for a condltional use
pe:mtt to-expand the propbsed parklng structure and to add a
tearning Center Lab withln the lowest level of the structure.
The approved plan reguired 17 parking spaces-
Upon review of the plans subnitted for building pennit for the
Garning center to be located in the lower level of the Vail
Valley Uedical Center Parking Structure, the staff discovered
that due to changes ln the floor plans, the parkilg requirement
for the facilLty-should be increased. The folLowing is-a

A conference area has also been added to the facility.
The staff has determined that this space should lgE have a
parking requirernent because the room will only be used as an
lssenbly room for personneJ- already at the hospital and parking
is alre-dy provided for the staff. Prior to the wMcrs recent
expansion, ttre cafeteria was used for both meal service and staff
assenbly. The new conference roon will provide an assenbly room
outside of the cafeteria for the staff.
The records show that presently there is a surplus of 4 parking
spaces. This allows Vail National Bank (vNB) to build their
expansion and matntain their option on 4 spaces (8 purchased and
option on 4 additional spaces). The VNBrs option on the
additional 4 spaces will expire ten business days after the VVMc
notifies the vt{B that they have a tenporary certificate of
occupancy for the parking structure
The Town staff recognizes that conventional forrorulas do not
accurately predict parking needs for the hospital . Because of
the unique nature of the facility, we feel that only 2 additional
spaces for a total of 19 spaces will be reguired for the Iearning
CLnter. No parking will be required for the conference area.
After the L€arnl-ng Center is buift, there will be 2 excess sPaces
assuming the VNB utilizes their option on the 4 parking spaces.

structure for future expansions will require Town of Vail. PEC
and/or Council approval . At this tirne, the Council has statedthat all future expansions of the VaiI National Bank BuildingwlII require parking to be located on Bank property. For
planning purposes, staff felt lt rdas appropriate to consider the
12 spaces in the Vnlc structure to avoid a potential parking
deficit. This consideration of the 12 spaces is not meant to
indicate any tlpe of approval to actually use all 12 spaces.

Dear Kristan:
The hospital is request'ing a Conditional Use Permit to install a magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) system later thjs year. An MRI is a computerized
system that uses a magnetic field and ordinary rad'io waves to produce images(or scans) that are particu'l ar'ly effective in diagnosing soft-tissue injuries,
complementing conventional radiology ("X-Rays").
As recently as a year ago the hospital administration had prograrmed an MRIfor 1992-1993. However, the rapid development of MRI techno'logy, as well as
the overwhelming acceptance of MRI scans as a necessary component of the type
of excellent health care we wish to provide, have convinced us that an MRI is
needed now. Pending TOV approvals, we wish to begin construction in September
1990.
Essential features of our application are as fo'l lows:
r Construction of approximatelr /m square feet on the north side of
the first fl oor, contiguous with our Emergency Room.
'181 West Meodow Drive, Suite 100

r Installation of a satellite \h 94 tne third-floor roof, to transmit
some of the MRI scans to an off-site lhdilitv for interpretation. The dish

Parking requirements for the expansion present'ly nearing completion were
computed based on staffing projections made in September 1988. Now that
occupancy is imminent, tve have re-surveyed staffing projections with our
respective departmental managers and found the the actual figures anticipated
are actual1y s'lightly lower than initially thought:

Thus, referring to Page 3 of your 7 March 1990 memorandum to the P.E.C.,

A request for a conditional use pernit to expand theproposed Parking structure and to add a Learning Center
Lab within the lowest level of the parking structure atthe Vail Valley Medical Center located at 181 west
Meadow Drive, Lots E and F, Vail Village 2nd Filing.Applicant: VaiI Valley Medical Center
I DESCRIPTTON OF REOUEST
The Vail ValLey Medical Center is proposing to add two /2levels to the previously approved parking structure on thenortheast corner of the property. The north end of thestructure is located on Doubletree property. The applicantstates:
Initially, one of the 1/2 levets would be used asparking providing 25 additional parking spaces. The
second l/2 LeveJ- (elevation 8140) would be used as a
Learning Center Lab. The facility (approxinately 6500
square feet in size) will be staffed by six people whowill coordinate and review the results of researchactivities conducted at various associated centerstbroughout the nation. In addition, a portion of thefacility will focus on bionechanical studies ofathletes as a means of avoiding injury, as well asassisting in quicker and fuller rehabilitation once aninjury occurs. This will entail videotaping, measuring
and study of physiological actions used in activitiesof skiing, throwing, kicking and running. I{ork will be
conducted on tissues and cell cultures in a smallportion of this facility, as it relates to these aboveactivities. I would like to emphasize, however, that
no live aninal research will be conducted in thisfacility, or any other facility in Eagle county by Dr.
Steadman.

IT. CRTTERIA AI{D FINDINGS
Upon review of Section 18.60, the Conmunity DevelopmentDepartnent recomends approval of the conditional use pernit
based upon the following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors:
1. Relationship and inpact of the use on developmentobiectives of the Town.
a. Parking E:<pansion:
This proposal is extremely positive. Town boards
and planning staff encouraged the hospital to plan
I
for additional parking within the structure for
any future expansions of the hospital facility.
As long as the parking structure was beingconstructed, it was felt that it made goodplanning sense to provide as much parking at thislocation as possible. The VaiI Valley Medical
Center is furthering the development objectives ofthe Town by providing additional parking in anefficient and J-ogical location that is easily
accessible.
b. Learninq Center Lab:
When the hospital expansion was approved lastyear, a condition of Councj.l approval was ttratrrany usage of live animals for research in thefacility must go through a conditional use
review. rr Tlro representatives for the \ff/MC havestated in writing that rrno live animal researchwill be conducted in this facility or any otherfacility in Eagle co. by Dr. Steadman.rr (Please
see attached letters from Dan Feeney dated March2L, L99O and Jay Peterson dated April 4, 1990).
The lab is a tlpe of use conmonly associated witha medical facility. The description of theoperation of the lab is a use wbich is certainly
cornpatible with a hospital use and does notconflict with any development objective of theTown. In fact, the use is very positive for the
conrnunity because of the erophasis onrehabilitation and research related to athletics.
The effect of the use on liqht and air.distribution of population, transportationfacilities. utilities, schools; parks and
recreation facilities, and other nublic facilities
needs.
a. Parkinq Expansion/Learning Center Lab:
The appearance of the parking structure will beexactly the same as the approved plan and will noteffect these criteria.
2.
3.Effect upon traffic with particular reference toconqestion, autonotive and pedestrian safetv andconvenience. traffic flow and control access,naneuverabilitv, and rernoval of snow from thestreet and narkincr areas.
a. Parkinq Expansion./Learnina Center Lab:
certainfy sone additional traffic will be
generated due to the increased nunber of parkingspaces. Hoerever, Colorado Division of Highwayswill not require additional improvements as allpossible roadway inprovenents were required duringthe previous hospital approval . Staff discussedthe proposal with Rj.ch Perske fron CDOH and noadditional Frontage Road inprovenents were deemed
necessary.
The hospitalrs structure will connect to the
Doubletree parking at leveL +/- 81,62 sq. ft. Abreak-out panel will be built at level +/- SLSLsq. ft. At this time, no connection or break outpanel is proposed at the lowest level +/- 8t4o sq.ft. For this reason, the Doubletree will need toconstruct a ramp to connect their lowest level ofparking to the level above. This connection willbe underground and is possible to construct
according to the Doubletreers architect. The
ohrner of the Doubletree has also acknowledged thatthis connection will need to be built conpletelyon Doubletree property. (Please see attached
correspondence from Paln Aire Doubletree, Inc.dated April 4, L99O and sketch forr Anthony
Relechia Architects.) In order to allow for the
ramp, the Doubletree will need to subnit a rninor
anendrnent to their Special Development District.
Staff encourages the hospital to provide a break-out panel or connection at level 8140 (Iowestlevel) to the Doubletree structure to al1ow forthe possibility of shared parking. Even though aproposal to share parking would stil1 require Town
approval , it seems to be a lost opportunity to notallow for this possibility.
4. Effect upon the character of the area in which theproposed use is to be located, including the scale
and bulk of the oroposed use in relation to
surround incr uses.
a. Parkinq ExpansLon,/Learninq Center Lab:
Tlrere will be no change in the mass and bulk ofthe parking structure as the additionaL floors are
below grade.
IV. FINDINGS
The Community Development Departnent reconmends that theconditional use pemrit be approvedr/denied based on thefollowing findings:
That the proposed location of the use in accord with the
purposes of this ordinance and the purposes of the districtin which the site is located.
That the proposed location of the use and the conditions
under which it woutd be operated or rnaintained would not bedetrimental to ttre public health, safety, or welfare orrnaterially injurious to properties or inprovements in thevicinity.
That the proposed use would conply with each of theapplicable provisions of this ordinance.
V. STAFF RECOITO,TENDATTONS
The staff recornmends approval of the conditional userequest. The proposed locat,ion for additional parking and
Learning center Lab is very compliurentary to the overall
master plan for the trospital site. There will be no
negative impacts due to the additional floors of parking orthe Learning Center lab. fn fact, the concept of providingadditional parking beneath the approved parking structure is
an efficient use of the hospital site. If possible, staff
encourag'es the bospital to incorporate the break-out panelinto the lowest leve1 of the structure to allow for future
access to the Doubletree Structure. The fact that the
spaces are below grade will beneflt the aesthetics of thesite for the hospital as well as adjacent property orlners.Staff would like to conrnend the Vail Valley Medical Centerfor naking the extra effort to provide as much parking aspossible in the location of the parking structure. Thiseffort makes good planning sense for the hospital as well asfor the entire connunity.

RE: Vail Valley Medical Center
Condiiional Use AppJ-ication
Dear Kristan:
Pursuant to your request I have discussed the uses of the lower L/2
leve1 of the parking structure with the nedical center.
As stated in Mr. Feeneyrs letter of l,[arch 21, 1990 the facility
(approxinately 65O0 sguare feet in size) will be staffed by six people
who wiII coordinate and review the results of research activities
conducted at various associated centers throughout the nation. Inaddition, a portion of the facility will focus on bionechanical
studies of athletes as a means of avoiding injury, as well asassisting in guicker and fuller rehabilitation once an injury occurs.This will entail videotaping, measuring and study of physiological
actions used in activities of skiing, throwing, kicking and running.
Work will be conducted on tissues and cell cultures in a snall portionof this facility, as it relates to these above activities. I wouldIike to enphasize, however, that no live aninal research will be
conducted in this facility, or any other facility in Eagle county byDr. Steadman.
on oecasicn, a portion of the facility will also be used for
continuing education prograns such as lectures, slide and video
presentations.
If further explanation or clarification is needed please call.
Sincerely,
terson

Dear Kristen:
In response to your question regarding the purpose of the Learning Center
we propose to construct for Dr. Steadman in the lowest one-half level of
the parking structure: As a surgeon whose innovative techni,ques_ are of
wide-spread- interest throughout thi sports medicine community, Dr. Steadman
is frequently visited by orthopedic surgeons from this country and abroad.
The Learning Center will be a place where such visitors to Vajl can review
video tapes of past surgica'l procedures of particular significance, as well
as'l ive "feeds" of procedures in progress in the operating room at the
moment.
It will also be a facility where a full-time staff of six persons will
coordinate and review the results of research activities being conducted at
various associated centers throughout the nation. There will be several
small rooms on-site where work will be conducted on tissues and cell
cultures. However, Dr. Steadman stands by his previous comnitment that he
will conduct no live animal research in Eagle County.
In addition, Dr. Steadman wil'l use the Learning Center to develop and
evaluate conditioning techniques with human subiects, as a means of
avoiding injury, as wel'l as assisting in quicker and fuller rehabilitation,
once an injury occurs.
Please call if I can provide any further clarification on our application
for amendment to our Conditional Use Permit.

RE: Possible Vail valtey Medical Center Expansion
Dear PauI:
In order to assist you in the evaluation of possible alternatives
for expanding the vail valley Medical Center, f thought it.woul-d
be helpful ia I outlined the review steps necessary to revise the
Vail Valley Medical Centerrs development p1an. rt j-s rny
understanding that you briefly discussed the possiblity of
changing the plan to allow the Doubletree Hote1 to construct
their addition on hospital property. The hospital would
construct a portion of their expansion on Doubletree propgrty.
This approach would allow the hospital to orient more of its
traffic towards the South Frontage Road as opposed to Meadow
Drive. This concept certainly has some potential , however, as
you know, the staff and planning conmission wilf have similar
concerns to those raised in previous reviews of the VaiI va11ey
Medical Center expansion. Traffic, building mass and bulk,
ultirnate build-out, and adequate parking are some of the issues
which would be raised.
In order to allow for this change, the Vail vaLley Medical center
would need to recieve a conditional" use approval from the
Planning and Environrnental commission. In addition, a ternporary
parking variance rnay be necessary if the tining of the parking
structure does not coincide exactly with the completion of the
hospital space. I have attached the Planning and Environnental
Commission schedule for your review. If the Doubletree is
involved with the proposal , the Special Development District for
the Doubletree would also need to be amended.
However, at this tiure without any drawings or a written proposal
it is difficult to deternine if any additional approvals would be
necessary.
I hope this inforuration is helpful to you. Please feel free tocall me if you have any further questions about this idea.

Re: Vail Valley Medical Center expansion - Summer L989 perrnit
Dear Dan,
Below is a list of some minor concerns related to the perrnit for thehospital expansion:
L. on sheet A-3, there is mention of the deletion of a research laband storage area. f would appreciate it if you would explain inwriting that there are no research labs for any type of ininaltesting within this project.
2. I am requesting a written statenent fron the Vail Valley Medicalcenter Board which states that the vail valley Medical centershall not rernonstrat,e against a Special Development District forimprovements on south Frontage Road or west Meldow Drive. As youknow, thj.s was a condition of approval from the Vail Town councitat their March 7, L989 rneeting. I think it would be good to getthis statement in writing from the Board.
3. r would appreciate it if you would provide a written statementthat the vail Valley Medical center concurs that the relocatedaccess drive to the heri-pad will neet the following standards:
A. The driveway shall not exceed a 72 grade.
B. The driveway sha1l allow for safe semi-truck access andloading for the post office.
C. The relocated driveway shalL not comprornise the existing cDoH
-'\
permit for the heli-pad.
D. Any trees of shrubs effected by the access shall be relocatedin the sane general area. The mature evergreens to betransplanted due to the new access drive shall be guaranteedto live for a period of three years or be replaced with treesof comparable size.
4. I would like to revielr the Doubletree agreement with you.
I also wanted to rernind you again of the parking study vhich wasrequested by the Tohrn Council in their final approval of theconditional use perrnit. rf you have any further questions about theparking study, please let rne know. f realize you are very busy withthe actual construction of the hospital and just wanted to remind youof the need to work on this study.
The last issue is one I am sure you are well aware of. I hope you planto discuss the issue of the parking structure with the approprilte Townparties as soon as possible. Once again, I want to reiterate that thevail Valley Medical Center's desire to receive a tenporary certificateof occupancy before the parking structure is ready for use rnust bereviewed.by the Planning cornrnission and Town council. r would suggestyou submit your proposal as soon as possible to avoid any last rninuteproblems.
r wourd arso rike to organize a meeting with the vair National Bank,Doubletree, and the hospital to discuss the utitity work and winterparking for the hospital. The staff needs to know where the 50 parkingspaces will be located. Please 1et rne know when you could gettogether.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact rne at479-2L38. congratulations on getting your project underway! Thanksfor all your efforts to anserer staff guestions.

Re: Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for Hospital Wing and 1989/90Winter Parkinq Plan
Dear Dan,
Recently, Jay Peterson contacted me to find out the process the staffwould require for the issue of the new hospital wing temporarycertificate of occupancy. Peter and f reviewed this i.ssue and havedetermined that a temporary parking variance and amendrnent to yourconditional use approval will be necessary. please subrnit theserequests as soon as possible. we feel it is important to address yourtemporary certificate of occupancy as soon as possible so that it doesnot appear that we do not have time to review the request. I know you
have been very busy with the construction project. However, r think itis best to address this issue in a tirnely nanner.
I would also appreciate it if you would give me an update on yourproposed parking pran for L989/9o. rn past retters, you have indicatedthat you would use a third parking 1ot. At that time, this rot was notidentified. Please let me know your final parking plan (once again),as soon as possible.

and a variance to the recruirement to pave a temporary parking 1ot
at sun Vail condominiums for the vail Vallev Medical Center of Lols
E and R, VaiI ViIIaoe 2nd Fifinq..Applicant: Vail valley Medical Center
Kristan Pritz reviewed the proposal regarding a parking variance and
explained that it would be a ternporary one fron August Lst through
November L5, l-990. Then she reviewed the proposal for the variance to
the requirement to pave the parking lot. Kristan then reviewed the
summary of parking provisions for the Vail Va1ley Medical Center as
follows:
a. The Winter proposal
b. The proposal for April 15 - August 1-, l-990
c. The proposal for August 1 - November 1-5 | L99O
Kristan then reviewed the criteria of findings. The staff
recomnendation is for approval. They support the variances for the
reasons stated in the nemo. Kristan then reviewed the proposal for the
Conditional Use Perrnit. Jay Peterson, representing the applicant,
explained that it was difficult to put the whole package together
because they had to consult with the Doubletree, the VaiI National
Bank, and the WMC. They also had to relocate utilities which were all
cornpleted now. Jay felt that the solution was a practical one. He
explained that the WMC is requesting to receive a tenporary
certificate of occupancy by August 1, 1990 for the third floor.
However, the parking structure would not be conpleted until
approximately November 15, 1990. Jay stated that he could tell the
staff by September whether or not the parking structure would be
conpleted by November lst. Jay also added sonething newi he said that
there would be two half levels that would be constructed below the
structure which was not a part of the original plan. It would not be
used for additional parking but for other private hospital uses.
When the hospital expands again, they will finish this section which
wiII allow for 70 additional spaces.
Jay had a probtem with condition #4 insuring that the parking lot
would be cleaned up and revegetated. The condition included that the
hospital would be responsible for irnplernenting sorne type of pollution
control system after using the gravel lot. He felt that there is no
poltution control- possible. He said that in constructing the parking
lot, they took al-ot of rrjunkl from the site and cleaned it up and there
was no vegetation. They have now put down gravel which was mud before,
and he did not feeL the need to conply with condition #4.
The Planning Commission then spoke and Chuck asked if the Medical
Center would be paying for the usage of the Lionshead parking
structure. He was told they would not be paying. Kristan said that the
Medical Center was telling us this because it was part of the parking
requirement. She explained that in order to get a Tco' they must
provide parking on the site and they were being up front and explaining
how they would handle it.
Diana asked how long the hospital could operate without a Tco. Jay
answered that the Town could yank the TCO and not allow the hospital to
use the facility until the parking structure was done. Lega1ly, he
said, that could be done, however, practically speaking' it probably
would not. He said at the tirne of TCO in August the staff would know
if the structure would be completed in November.
Diana then asked if it was fair to say that if they hadn't started
construction on the parking structure, they should not receive their
Jay felt that this was a fair condition.
Jay added that Kristan was asking for plans for the parking structure
by February 1st which would hurry the project along a littLe.
Jin Viele asked if a shuttle systern would be used and whether or not it
would be the Town of Vail buses. Jay clairned that 9oZ of the employees
would use the Medical Center shuttle. Jin Viele agreed with Jay
regarding taking up the gravel surface. He thought perhaps it might be
better to leave it that way.
Kristan felt that if they would seed the disturbed areas perhaps they
could leave the gravel . Jay pointed out that there would be no
sprinkling system there and the seeded area may not live.
Peter Patten said if they allowed the use, they would not like the eye
sore to continue. The area should be revegetated and that the
contractor should not walk al^tay and Leave a trrnud holerr.
Jay felt that this was not fair. He said that the lot was in poor
condition to begin with. The hospital would be going through expense
to make a bad situation better.
Kristan said that the staff was sinply talking about revegetating and
nulching. Jay responded by saying that this would not be a problem.
Diana rnoved to approve the temporarv parkinq variance per the stEff
memo with tfiE finainqJ concerninq strict and literal interpretation.
She added another condition that a Tco coufd onlv be issued if the
ark structure was under construction and the other conditions had
been met. Kathy warren seconded the motion.
The staff
followi-ng

The staff
recommends that the requested variances be approved with the
conditions:
The Town of Vail reserves the right to review the ernployee
shuttle system and off-site lease parking progtram. If we
deterrnine that the progran is not working properly, the staff
reserves the right to bring the issue back to the Planning
and Environmental Comrnission for review.
The off-site parking plan is only approved from the date ofpossible approval of this request to the end of the ski
season in 1990.
The WMC shatl not encourage employee parking in the
Lionshead parking structure during the wj-nter ski season or
provide Lionshead parking passes to enployees during the
wi-nter season.
The wMc shall- be responsible for insuring that the Sun Vail
parking lot is cleaned up and revegetated no later than
July 1- | L990. If the gravel is polluted, the wMc shall
remove it frorn the site.
No finaL sertificate of occupancy shall be released for the

required improvements (Frontage Rd., landscaping etc.) are
completed.
The WMC must have Conditional Use approval .
requires that:
The hospital shall agree to subnit parking structure

The Expansion Project is designed to meet what the Medical Center
perceives as projected growth in the Medical Center's resident and seasonalnarkets, and to accomodate increased volume which the Medical Center projectswill result from the addition of an orthopedic surgeon (J. Richard Steadman,M.D., F.A.C.S.) to its staff and the recruitment of one or more additional
orthopedic surgeons and their associates. For a description of the status of
such recruitment, see the caption "Recruitnent of and Contrac! with Additional
Orthopedic Surgeons" in Appendix A hereto. In addition, see ',BONDHOLDERS
RISKS" below and Appendir C hereto.
Construction of the Expansion Project is expected to commence in ilune
1989, with completion expected to occur no later than August 1990. Architectfor the Expansion Project is the firm of Fisher, Reece and Johnson of Denver,
Colorado. Fisher, Reece and Johnson has been involved in health care projects
in Colorado for Bethesda Hospital & Cornmuni ty Health Center, Denver, Colorado,Kaiser Foundation Health Care of Colorado, Rose Medical Center, Denver,
Colorado, and Presbyte rian/Sa int Luke's Medical Center (now A}1I), Denver,
Colorado. In addition, the firm was architect for the Medical Center's last
major construction project which was completed in 1987.
Working drawings have been completed by the archj.tects, and the Expansion
Project construction contract was put out to bid in late May to certain
"pre-quali,fied" general contractors with health care experience. Bids are
expected to be received by early June, and a contract. award is expected to -be
made to the lowest bidder on or about June 15, 1989. The construction
contract will be a standard AIA "fixed sun cost" contract, subject to
increased costs only in the event of change orders. The contract will require
the contractor to furnish an acceptable performance and completion bond, andwill require completion of the Exgansion Project by early July 1990.
A building permit for the entire Project was obtained on June _, 1989,
following approval by the Town Planning Commission, review by the lown Council
and approval by the Tovrn Design Review Board.
Parkinq Structure. Ihe parking structure portion of the'Project .(the"Parking Structure Project") is expected to cost $3,252,000. . r The Parking
Structure Project will consist of a multilevel parking garage with room for
212 cars. The Medical Center has granted t/lIB Building Corporation ('rVNB'r) the
option of directing the Medical Center to add up to an additional 12 spaces to
the Parking Structure Project, with such spaces to be alfocated to and paid
for by lNB. The structure rill be located on the northeast corner of the
Medical Center's property, and will have access to Vail's South Frontage Road
via an easernent granted by the Doubletree Hotel. In order to obtain Highway
Department approval to access the frontage road, the Medical Center agreed to
pay for the widening of the frontage road at the access Point from two to
three lanes. In addition, in exchange for the access easements, the Medical
Center has agreed to allow the Doubletree Hotel to use a certain number of
parking spaces in the Parking Structure Project and has agreed to certain
restrictions on future expansions of the Medical Center facilities.

Architectual drawings have not yet been comple!ed and a construction
contract for such st,ructure will not have been entered inCo at the time the
Series 1989 Bonds are issued. However, management of the Medical Center
expects to be able to complete the Parking Structure Project within the amountof Series 1989 Bond proceeds available therefor. Surther, the building permit
received on June _, 1989 covers the Parking Structure Project.
Remodeling, Renovation and Equipment. That portion of the Project
consisting of remodeling and renovation of the existing facility is expectedto cost $473,000.
The equipment portion of the Project consists of the Medical Center's
routine equipment expenditures for the fiscal years ending October 3I, 1988
through 1990 and is expected to cost approximately $1,637,000.

FORECASTED DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE IN FEASIBILITY STUDY
The following table sets forth t.he forecast net income available for debt
service and the debt service coverage on the Series 1989 Bonds and the Series
1985 Bonds (based on the maximum annual debt service thereon) in each of the
five fiscal years of the Medical Center ending October 3I, 1993. Such
forecasts are derived soleIy from information contained in the Feasibility
Study, attached hereto as Appendix C, which should be read in its ent irety for
information as to the assumptions on which such forecasts are based. These
assumptions include, among others, the actual principal schedule and interest
rates on the Series 1985 Bonds, an estimated Series 1989 Bond issue of
$1I.800,000 amortized as described therein and an estimated annual average
interest rate of 8.32 on the Series 1989 Bonds. Actual annual debt service on
the Series 1989 Bonds may be different than assumed in the Feasibility Study.
The Feasibility Study also makes certain assunptions regarding j.ncreased useof the Medical Center for the performance of orthopedic surgery. If results
with respect to such surgeries are less than anticipated by the Medical
Center, debt service coverage may be adversely affected. ActuaI results
achieved during the forecast period by the Medical Center are likely to vary
from the forecasts and such variations may be material.

Manaqement's Discussion of Utilization and Operations
Chanqes in Revenues and Expenses. As shown in the E,able above, for theperiod from and including the fiscal year ended October 3I, 1984 to and
including the fiscal year ended October 31, 1988, net patient service revenue
has generally been increasing, as have expenses.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1988, net patient service revenues
increased by 24.a2 from the fiscal year ended October 3I, 1987. Management of
the Medical Center believes that the increase was due to increased
utilization, intensive treatment of more acutely i11 patients and a five
percent rate increase. Total operating expenses for the same period increased
by 31.5%. Management of the Medical Center believes that the increase in
total operating expenses at greater rate than total revenues was due primarily
to increased interest and depreciation expense associated with bringing the
Medical Center's previous expansion project on Iine in t,he autumn of 1987.
This resulted in the Medical Center's income frorn operations declining by 50%

Re: Proposed Access Control PIan, South Frontage Road, Vail,
Colorado
Dear Mr. Perske:
Please find enclosed a proposed access control plan for an area
of the South Frontage Road near the Vail National Bank and
Doubletree properties. The proposed access control plan has
been designed by TDA, fnc. in conjunction with the properties
involved and the Town of Vait. My understanding is that the
proposal has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines
contained in the State Highway Access Code, Section 2.L2.
The primary inpetus for the proposal comes from the vail valley
Medical Center proposed expansion project. The Town of Vail
Community Development Department has encouraged parking and
access solutions to take place as proposed in the plan. we feel
the proposed parking structure with access off of the South
Frontage Road is a superior solution for this property and is in
conformance with other Town of vail objectives as found in our
lilaster Land Use Plan. The Community Developrnent Department
endorses the proposed plan in concept and will be conducting
further reviews involving the Town's other operational
departments in the very near future.
We would appreciate yourplan as soon as possible.you feel it is necessary.
connents on the proposed access control
We would be happy to meet with you as

Re: Hospital and Doubletree Submittals for Planning Cornrnission
January 9, 1989
Dear Dan and Peter:
The staff has reviewed the submittal material for the Hospitat
and Doubletree proposals. The fotlowing guestions must be
answered by noon Wednesday, January 4 in order to allow thestaff time to write the nemo for the Planning Comrnission rneetingon January 9th:
I. FRONTAGE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
What is the final design?
What is the justificatj.on for the design?
How will the inprovements be phased?
D. Who is responsible for construction of the
improvements?
E. How is the vail National Bank involved in the design,phasing and construction of the Frontage Road
irnprovements?
A.
B.
c.
v
HOSPITAL PARKING STRUCTURErr.
A. How nany spaces in the structure wiII be jointly usedby the Doubletree and Hospital?
B. What are the conditions of the joint use of theparking spaces?
C. Hon does the joint use plan relate to the interirn andbuild-out scenarios for the two projects?
D. What is the final design for the structure?
E. How is the Vail National Bank involved in the parkingstructure, if at aII?
F. What is the Hospitalrs position or justification forallocating 48 spaces in ttre evening to the Doubletree?Conversely, hor., does the Doubletree justify the lackof 48 on-site spaces during the day?
The staff is asking that written answers to these questions besubmitted to our office by noon tonorrow.
The following information nust also be subnitted by noon,
Wednesday, January 4th. The Hospital has been asked to subnitthe following:
I. HOSPITAL SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
A. A landscape pJ.an. The landscape plan should addressthe area around the parking structure and the surface
_
parking to the lrest along the creek.
B. The final report fron TDA concerning the Frontage Roadimprovernents. This report should summarize trafficcounts and other inforrnation that was used to arriveat the Frontage Road inprovement design.
C. A massing sketch of the master plan. The sketchshould show both the north and south rnassings of theultimate hospital build-out.
D. A final drawing on the Frontage Road improvementswhich shows the proposed ingress and egress for theparking structure,
E. Final drawings for the parking structure.
II. DOUBLETREE AND HOSPITAL SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS3
A. The Doubletree and Hospital shouLd subrnit their finalagreernent as to how parking will be shared between thetwo projects.
III. DOUBLETREE SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
A. Final design drawings for the parking structureinterface with the Doubletree site.
The staff thought it would also be helpful to pass on ourcomments on the Hospital Master plan. The purpose of the planis to address the larger scale issues related to the ultimatebuild-out for the property. Ingress/egress, parking, buildingrnassing, and the inter-relationships of the Hospital tosurrounding properties can be generally addressed by using thisplan. The plan illustrates at a conceptuaL level how theseissues could be handled on the site. The master plan should notbe used to address specific site planning issues for futurephases. Below are our staff conrnents:
I. The building rnassing is generally acceptable.
2. In respect to the west parking structure, the staff feelsthat it is inportant that access fron the Frontage Road beused for the west parking structure to decrease impacts onWest Meadow Drive. Parking management wi]l also becritical to the west structure. Staff believes that theoption to locate parking underneath the east wing of theHospital should be examined. We also feel that parkingcould be located between the Doubletree expansion to theeast and the existing hospital . By cornbining parking inthis area, it is possible that the testern structure couldbe avoided. These two options should be looked at beforethe western parking structure is considered a necessity.
3. The parkin€t spaces located on Lot 1O should eventually berernoved. In the future, the Town will most likely utilizethis property for another purpose.
The staff feers very strongry that the infornation and answersto guestions included in this letter must be subrnitted byWednesday at noon. We hope you can understand why the slaff
needs this nininal anount of time to review the proposal . Theproject is extremely inportant to the conmunity lnd-deservesadequate review tine to ensure that all of us witt ue thoroughlyprepared for the Planning Cornnission meeting on January 9th.
Sincerely,

Statistics on ambulance ca'l ls between september g7 and August gg wereprovided in my letter of 3 0ctober 1988, a copy of which is attached foryour conven'i ence.
r Reference Item 8: The conditional use permit issued in 19g6requires the hospital to provide 220 spaces for patients and staff durinqthe ski season. The permit allows the hospital to achieve the total of z2dspaces -by augmenting on-site parking with up to 30 spaces off-sjte, for useby employees. During the 1987-88 ski season, we maintained 205 spaceson-site, and leased 15 spaces at Manor Vail Lodge.

hours of 8 am and 5 pm. Results are as follows:
The 205 spaces on-site consisted of 702 self-park spaces, and 103 valetspaces. 0nly staff used the valet spaces.
During the summer months, we maintain 151 spaces on-site. we do not valetpark, nor do we lease spaces off-site. We do, however, have a rotating
I ist where 15-20 day-shift employees park at the Lionshead parkingstructure Monday thru Friday.
Plans submitted previously for a 3-'level parking structure at the northwestcorner of our property would enable us to park 290 vehicles, as follows:
PARKING STRUCTURE 220

These 290 parking spaces will be available year-round.
r Reference Item 9: Although we have reems of parking surveys onhand, we conducted them before the new wing was opened last sumner, andfelt that they were irrelevant to the current configuration of the hospital.Therefore, we conducted a new survey on Tuesday, 11 0ctober, between the

r Reference Item 10: Experience has shown that a large number of our
employees drive smaller cars. Such cars, if properly segregated, can beparked _four d.."p in the valet section, rather than the three deeporiginally envisioned. This will enable us to park 214 vehicles on-sitiduring _the i988-89 ski season. If we lease the full thirty spacesavailable to us at Manor vail Lodge, we wjll have a total of 244 spacesthis winter.
Ray McMahan's 16 May 88 letter to Ron Phillips $,as meant merely to documentthat we have.more parking available both on- and off-s'i te, using presentresources' than either the Town or the hospital originally thoughtpossible. He did not mean to imply that he felt that the 220 spates agreedto dur-ing the 1986 approva'l process was inadequate. In fact,'we havd hadseveral discussjons that this additional on-site park'ing might allow us toask fewer of our employees to park off-site at Manor vaii, at least on
certa in days.
r Reference Item 11: The 1986 permit calculated the requirement for
220 spaces by adding the number of day-shift employees, hospital beds andexam rooms. The overall total included an Obstetrics (0g) wing on thenorth side of the second floor, although this was never built. Thus, thenumber of parking spaces calculated for this department should be
"credited" against our new overall requirements. (The 1986 conditional usePermit makes provisjons for this.)

understanding that the Town would

subtracting this from 220 shows that 203 spaces are needed to service thebuilding actually constructed in 1986-87, based upon the formula agreed toby the Town and the hospital. Incremental parking requirements that our
new expansion will generate are computed as follows:
USE PARKING
Patient beds - general 20 spaces
Exam rooms - general 6
Day-shift employees - general 49T0TAL E spaces
Therefore, new parking requirements are computed as follows:

Thus,.we propose to construct 12 more spaces than the calculated peak

Questions on the ultimate traffic-conveying capacity of west Meadow Drivehave been asked. l,|e feel that a study of thi s sort, which must ofnecessity include Vail Road as well as the 4-way stop, is beyond thepurview of any individual owner. we do, however, feel that west MeadowDrive could safely handle additional vehicular traffic if pedestrjans wereprovided with a separate, attractive'ly landscaped malT. Conversely, ifpedestrians continue to walk 4 or 5 abreast down the middle of west MeadowDrive, it is difficult to argue that any amount of vehicular traffjc can besafely handled by the road.
0ur architect is currently'working on a revised package of plans whichwill' we hope, address the other issues raised in your letter. 'This effort
has been somewhat delayed by my requests that he study alternate proposalsfor. resolving the access issue, such as various schemes for construciing aparking structure jointly on hospital and Doubletree land, at the east indof our property. Nevertheless, I expect to have a revised set of drawingsto you not later that 28 0ctober.
Si ncerely,

Dear Kristan:
Thank you for the opportunity to appear before the
14 November. By discussing and resolving the issues
we hope the Commission w'i ii approve our application
on 28 November.
181 West Meadow Drive, Suite 100
Vail, Colorado 81657
(303) 476-2451
Planning Commission on
at this work session,for hospital expansion
We request that the Connnission consider our application as submitted,
including a 3-level parking structure at the west end of our property large
enough to enable us to meet our commitment to park a1l patient and staff
vehicles on-site. Access to the hosoital would continue to be via hlest
Meadow Drive, improved by construction of a pedestrian mall para'l 1e'l but
separate from the vehicle-carrying roadway. Our Governing Board is willingto participate in such an improvement, a'l though the extent of this partici-
pation must await further definition of the scope of the project.
Our original schedule called for construction of the west parking structurenext spring and early summer. l,|e intended to use one'level of the
completed structure for staging the construction of the second and thirdfloor addition, while the remaining two levels would enable us to park as
many vehicles as we can now.
Although we hope to secure a Conditional Use Permit for this project ascurrently submitted, we wish to continue efforts wjth the Doubletree Hotelto identjfy possibilities for a parking structure at the east end of our
two facilities, with access directly off South Frontage Road. Because of
the complexities of such an investigation, resoiution will undoubtedly take
several months, and possibly as much as a year.
As long as such a study is in progress, we shou't d defer the construction of
a west parking structure because we may come to a better solution. l,le alsofeel that it is not feasib]e to construct both the bu'i'l dino addition and

parking structure simultaneously--there wou'ld be virtually no park'i ng leftfor e'i ther patients or staff. Thus, if we are to construct a west plrking
structure, we would defer it until April 1990, when the building expansion
would be substantially complete. Quite obviously, lack of a multi-levelparking structure during the 1989-1990 ski season would creare a severeparking shortage, even with the 30 spaces we currently lease at Manor vajlLodge. The solution appears to be Town approval to allow 120 members ofour staff to park in the Lionshead structure during the 89-90 ski season.This would enable us to thoroughly pursue joint development options withthe Doubletree, and still realize our goal of completing the buildingaddjtjon by July 1990.
In summary, we are conrmitted to provide hospital parking by building anon-site -parking structure. we can begin the structure in either April 1989or April 1990. However, we feel that the April 1990 date is the bestsolution, if we are allowed to park in Lionshead during the construction
peri od .
The hospital's Governing Board appreciates that the Town is generally
supportive of the improvements that this expansion will bring to medical
care in the Vail Valley. t,le believe the approach outlined above enables usto reconcile several conflicting objectives in a reasonable manner.

Dear Mr. Patten:
This letter is to protest
Hospital on West Meadow Drive
square foot parking garage-
November 23, L988
the proposed expansion of the Vail
and the construction of a 55,000
1. Traffic on West Meadow Drive where we live is already
creati-ng a major hazard to pedestrians who naturally like to
stroll on the board roadway. A11 we need is more ambulances and
sirens to add to the excitement.
2. Recent newspapers and periodicals are filled with
stories about the glut of empty hospital beds, and the closing of
medical facilities in small rural towns. Has the need for more
hospital beds in Vail really been proven? Why should everyone
frorn the region need to drive all the way to Vail. Why not a
branch facility in another town in Eagle or Summit County?
3. At a recent meeting it was suggested that Vail hospj"tal
could become the Mayo Clinic of the Rockies. I suggest that
expansion of the hospitat could further erode our swiss village
atmosphere by becorning the Denver General Hospital of Vai1. The
original clinic was designed to assist the fu1l-time residents of
Vai] and treat the injuries of our visiting skiers. It does thejob adrnirably. Do we really need a research center or is thisjust iten #1 on someoners llnedical wish listtt?
Letrs stop this project before it gets out of control
Yours truly,

The foLlor,ring comments are intended toexpand on the subrnittal reguirements outlined on thisapplication form and also are in response to the drawings yousubnitted to us for informal review last week.
1. A vicinity plan showing this facility in relationshipto adjacent properties wilt be helpful . f believe adrawing hras prepared during the review of the lastexpansion in 198G.
2. While using a 1rr:20, scale for the planning
Cornmission review is acceptable, L/8..21r or largerwill be reguired for Design Review Board review.
3. It would be helpful to indicate the area of theproposed addition on the elevations.
4. Cornplete elevations of the proposed parking structurewill be necessary.
5. Complete floorplans of the exis+-ingr structure shouldbe submitted at the tirne of application.
6. A written statement will be necessary outlining thenature of the proposed expansion, to includereference to the issues of parking as well as accessoff the Frontage Road.
7. Infonnation fron your parking survey data relevant toestablishing the new parking denand will be helpful .
In all likelihood, you will be working with Rick Pylman andPeter Patten when your fornal suburittal is made.

While your surnmary of 1997-88 was informative, the parkingsurvey data may prove nost beneficial in evaluating parkiigdemands in conjunction with future expansions to tf,e-uedicilCenter.

Plt by Diana Donovan,
I. Approval of minutes from tbe october 8, 1990 meeting.
Kathy Warren moved and Chuck Christ seconded approval of theninutes as written. The vote was 7-O in favor of the motion.
2. Review of staff decision concerDiDg the parking reguirementfor the Learning Center IJab to be located in tbe lower levelof the vail Valley-lfeCicaf center Pa.LiDg.Applicant: V?it-V-alley Uedical C€nteL
She1ly Mello gave the staff presentation and showed the plans
with the approved reconf i.guration.
Diana then asked for any conments fron the Board or the public.
Kathy Warren indicated that it looked to her that the Medical
Center was out of parking again. Jay said that they were cut of
room for an expansion, and that they were conpletely maxxed.
Shelly explained that if another conference room was added in thefuture, it would create the need for nore parking spaces.
Diana Donovan wanted to add to what Kathy said by stating that it
was questionable not to count the proposed conference room whencalculating needed parking. Jay mentioned that every doctor andoffice in the building has a parking requirernent. When they
cornbined offices, there hras no longer the sane requirement.
Kathy moved that the requirenent be approved with the conditionthat any future conference roons built have a parking requirernentas part of the development. Chuck Crist seconded the rnotion.
?he vote was 7-0 in favor.
3. A request f,or setDack, connon, and density variances in
order to construct additions to tbe Christiania Lodge, 355
Eansen Ranch Road, Lot D, Block 2, Vail Village lst FlIiDg.
Applicant: Paul R. Jobnston.
Tbis was changed to a work session. Diana Donovan started by
stating that since the board was faniliar with this proposal,
she asked that only new issues be reviewed.
Jill Kannerer reviewed the setback, conmon area, and densityvariances. she explained that the northwest overhang would
extend into the setback.
Jill reviewed the zoning considerations, the criteria andfindings, the related policies in the Vail village Master Plan,
and the Urban Design Guide Plan.
Jil1 explained that the parking variances required to allow theproject to be constructed could not be fonnally voted on at thistime, but the parking was discussed.
Chuck asked about the number of parking spaces planned to be
under the porte cochere and was told there would be two. Jay
Peterson added that many buildings in the area did not provide
the technically reguired covered parking anount. The memo statedthat 17 of the 37 spaces in the Christiania parking lot would bevalet parking.
Jack Curtin guesti.oned the parking numbers and also felt that the
spaces at the entrance should not be included. Jay respondedthat frorn a practical point of view, sone of the spaces would be
for long tern and some for short term. Dalton asked if someone
would be on duty 24 hrs a day for the valet parkinq, and Paul
Johnston replied that ernployees would be on duty as needed.
Bill Reslock showed an updated landscape plan. Diana wlshed to
see the status of the Vi11a Valhalla snow durnp. She also wantedto see the VA part of the parking lot also rtspruced uprr. Jayreplied that he had asked this of VA, but that it was not apriority to VA. Connie was concerned about the guarantee of the
agreement to use VA property, and Paul responded that this was aright to perpetuity.
Kathy asked Jay for an explanation of the cornmon area. Jay
answered that 20t was permitted for comnon area, but he felt thatwith only 20t given to common area, new lodges were not able toprovide necessary and wanted amenities without using sone of the
allowed GRFA. Jay felt it was not valid to penalize a lodge
ostner for providing first class facilities including ski storage,etc. He explained that nechanical, elevator, stairways, lobby,
storage, etc. were part of common area. Kathy asked if
2
mechanical was conmon area, and JlII replied that it hlas not.
Ludi was concerned about the trash area. He felt that this ltas a
bad spot in a nice part of town and adjacent to Hanson RanchRoad. Ludi stated that the area contained a lrskinnyrr portion to
be used as a buffer and wanted to see urore nitigation in that
location. Ludi also was not confortable with the parking
solution.
Dalton agreed with Ludi concerning the trash nitigation. He had
some concerns regarding the feasibility of the possible agreementwith vail Associates.
Chuck Crist had no problen with the landscaping or the reguested
setback variances. He did not feel the applicant should be
required to landscape the VA portion of the lot. Chuck was
concerned about the proposed view corridor. Jay stated that
there was no designated view corridor in the area to date. JackCurtin felt that the view corridor should be from the street
Ievel , and not frorn a balcony. Jay stated that he would have
photographs for the next rneeting. Jack explained that he was not
concerned with the removal of the trees, because that would open
up the view corridor.
Jack was concerned about the variances reguired for the site and
felt this action would set a precedent for the colden Peak House,
Cyrano's, etc. and that it was critical to detennine what was
reasonable when granting variances.
Kathy felt that the trash could be rnoved and two parking spaces
could stil1 be provided. She was concerned about overhanging theproperty line. Kathy felt the vA lot shouLd be paved sonehow,the second floor du should be restricted as short terro rental .
She agreed with the staff of having 2 lock-offs on the 3rd floor.
Jim Shearer asked about the perpetuity of the parking lotagreement. Jay stated that it ran with the land and had nothing
to do with a grantor or vith perpetuity and that if the VA
developed the 1and, they would have to replace the parking. Jiur
suggested paving the lot.
Connie pointed out that if the au's were combined, a density
variance would not be needed. She had a problen with the parking
and was not in favor of the setback variances, but agreed that it
was rrnot that big a dealrt. She would rather see that the porte
cochere was contained on the Christiania property. Jay statedthat the porte cochere could be cut back.
Diana agreed with the staff memo, but had concerns about the viewcorridor.
This concluded the work session.
1. A request for a froat setback variance to allow for a garage
on Lot 10, Elock {, L,ionsridge filing No. 4 ' L464 AsPeD
Grovg lraDe.Applieauts Carrol P. Orrisou
Andy l$udsen explained the request and stated that the applicant
did not feel that the garage would be visible from the Town.
Rusty Wood, contractor for the project, felt that the location
was chosen to please all the neighbors, owners, and Town staff.
He felt that the location suggested by the staff was
unacceptable, and the location proposed would have the least
inpact.
Kristan explained that the present neeting was to review the
variances requested. The board went outside with Rusty to lookat the site from the Town office parking lot. Diana then
summarized that the setback was not a problern, but there was a
problem with the cuts for the driveway.
Kathy made suggestions for alternative schemes. She felt that
she could not approve variances when there were alternatives.
The alternatives were discussed, but the applicant did not wish
to change his design.
Diana suggested tabling the itern to allow for revisions to the
proposal . Chuck moved and Connie seconded to table this iternuntil November 26th. The vote was 7-0 in favor.
5. A regu€st for s€tback variaaces and aa erterior alteration
for the Village Center CoadoniniuDs, 12{ Ilillow Bridge Road.Applicant: Village ceDter Condominlums Association
Jill Kammerer explained that there was no longer a need for a
landscape variance, and showed plans explaining the proposals.'
She added that the staff recommended approval with one condition,that of reguiring that the applicant not remonstrate against the
construction of a streamwalk or the construction of a pocket park
at the northeast intersection of Willow Bridge Road and Gore
Creek.
Kirk Aker, employee of Morter Architects, felt that the condition
was a little strong because the Town could come in with a1'l--'- -l-e" d:si1-l . Dia::e ;;i-;:!eC cut tlrat the applicant couldgive input on the design. Kirk felt that the condition was notfair. He added that a hardship had been found for the variance
and the privilege of the variance should then not be taken away.
Connie felt uncomfortable reguiring the condition and felt that
it was backhanded. Jim Shearer could not see any difference
between conditioning this variance and conditioning othervariances. Diana agreed with Jirn and felt that the condition
would speed up the process and did not feel rights were being
taken anay.
Chuck dj.d not feel the condition should be placed on the
approval , but felt that perhaps the part about not renonstrating
against the public park should be left in, but not the part about
the streanwalk because he was not personally in favor of the
streamwalk. He felt the variance was OK.
Dalton suggested changing the wording to encourage input into thedesign. Ludi agreed with Diana.
Kirk felt the condition vas objectionable and pointed out that
this was a study area, not a plan. Ile stated that the applicantis not getting a special privilege and that the variance wasjustified. The variance and the streamwalk should be two
separate issues and go through normal channel-s. Chuck asked if
the applicant would drop the improvernent if the condition
remained, and the applicant stated that 90? of the owners were
against the streamwalk.
Kirk asked to have the iten tabled until November 25th. Jirn
moved and Dalton seconded to table Eo IL/26. The vote was 7-0.
6. A tequest for a bed aDd breakfast conditional use peruit at
275{ South FroDtags Roadi Lot B, Stepbenrs Subdivision.Applicant: Darlene Schweinsberg
Betsy Rosolack presented the proposal and stated that theapplicant met all the criteria and the staff recommendation was
for approval . Dalton rnoved and Jirn seconded a motion to approvethe conditional use request. The vote was 7-0 in favor.
7. A request to rrnend Section 18.04.l3O--definition of f,loor
area, gross residential (GRFA) t 18.09.080 Eitlside
Residential DiEtrict density controli 18.10.090 Sittgle
Fauily District density coatroli I8.12.090 Ttto Fanily
Residential District density control and 18.13.08o Prinary
Secondary District density control , of tbe Uunicipal Code.
Applicant: Town of Vail
T:;i B;r':.1, planning consultant for the Town of VaiI, explained
the proposed ordinance. Linda Fried, an east Vail property
owner, felt that single faurily hornes able to be nade into 2 units
would be losing sqfuare footage. She felt that the amount of
additional GRFA was not adequate.
Kathy Warren was not cornfortable with the 475 square feet figure.
She also felt that the arnount allowed for smal1 lots would be out
of proportion to large Lots. Diana had the same concern. She
felt they were bending over backwards to accommodate developers
and, although she agreed philosophically, she disagreed with the
figures and felt the additional GRFA to conpensate for credits
should be less than the proposed 475 square feet.
Ton Braun wondered if they were suggesting a different set of
numbers for the smaller lots. Kathy suggested using 425 as the
nunber. Ton replied that at the last task force meeting, 50
sguare feet was added in response to developers.
Jin Shearer did not feel 50 feet more or less would help or hurt
anyone. DaLton felt raore confortable with 425 feet. Ludi statedthat he was not part of the task force and supported 425 square
feet. Chuck Crist did not care which nurnber was used. He did
not feel 50 sguare feet would nake nuch difference. Connie lrras
happy to hear the support for less square footage.
Kathy moved and Dalton seconded to approve the proposed amendment
with the additional square footage changed to 425 square feet.
The vote was 7-0 in favor.
8. A reguest to rl'leud sections 18.0,1 .350--definl.tion of site
coverage and sections 18.09.090, 18.10.110, 18.12.110,

18.29.090, 18.30.110, 18.32.110, andl 18.39.190, all dealingwitb site coverage.applicant: Tosn of Vall
Kristan Pritz and Tom Braun explained these proposed revisions.
There was much discussion concerning the 4 foot trbufferil for roof
overhangs vith regard to calculating site coverage and for
reducing the amount of site coverage allowed on steep 1ots.
Dalton felt that if 3 sides of a garage were covered, the garage
should not count as site coverage.
Jin Strearer felt that the explanation of why site coverage was
reduced should be included.
Kathy moved and Jirn seconded to recommend approval to the Council
with the rernoval of any 4 foot buffer reference. Kathy then
arnended this motion to apply only to Hillside, Single Farnily,
Prirnary/Secondary and Duplex zoning with the rest of the zone
districts to be tabl-ed until Novenber 26th. Jim seconded the
amendment.
Jira Lamont felt that more notification needed to be made to
commercial entities. Tom stated a press release could be used.

The proposed expansion entails construction ofapproximately@ for patient care, aswell as an on-glte parking structure. The project wouldinclude the conpletion of the second floor on the northside of the recently built west wing. Conpletion of the
second fLoor will allow irnnediate expansion of thepatient care unit (PCU) by 20 beds. The second floor j.s
8rl-5o square feet. A small entry addition adjacent tothe parking structure is proposed for the first floor(L,242 s.f.).
Construction of a full tb,j.ra+foor on top of theexisting west wing adds€r,arzjlguare feet. The newthird floor will house a s-E?gfcal suite comprised offour operating rooms, doctors, offices, a fourthradiology room, as well as ancillary services.
B.Parkinq
The hospital proposesstructure at the east
to construct a 2-L/2 level- parking
end of its property. Thestructure will provide parking for 177 vehicles, with
access directly off South Frontage Road. The elevationof the top level of the parking structure would beslightly lower than that of the existing South FrontageRoad. The north end of the structure would beconstructed on land currently owned by the Doubletree
Hotel . The Vail ValleyMedical Center and the DoubletreeHotel have entered into an agreenent to allow thestructure to be built on Doubletree land in return forshared parking arrangtements and other considerations.
The hospital-'s proposed structure will be built in sucha way that it can be connected to the Doubletree,s
underground parking at a later date to allow sharing ofparking. The structure would elirninate 20 existingsurface parking spaces on Doubletree property. These 20spaces will be replaced in the proposed structure.lo{*

spaces on town owned Lot 10. Ttre lot is leased from the
town and will remain in its present configiuration with
access off l{est Meadow Drive for the near ter:m.
The Vail Valley Medical Center is required to provide atotal of 22O parking spaces on site. The 1986conditional use pennit calculated the reguirement for
22O spaces by adding the number of day shift employees,trospital beds, and exarn rooms. llhe overall totalincluded an obstetrics (OB) wing on tlre north side of
D the second floor, althouqh this was never buil-t. Thus,) tne nunber of paif unbuilt

The Hospital , Doubletree Hotel , and Vail National Bank havejoined together to develop an Access Control Plan for asection of the South Frontage Road directly adjacent to theirproperties. The Access Control Plan was prepared by TDA,Colorado, Inc. (Please see attached TDA report, January3, 1989). The plan has not been approved by CDOH to date.
CDOH's position is contained in the attached letter from
Charles Dunn to Peter Patten.
The iroprovements proposed in the Access Control Plan aredivided into two phases:

The proposed northeast parking structure nas designedwith the intent of removing traffic from the West MeadowDrive area. The approach to parking and vehicular
access supports the goals listed in the Land Use Planfor this area. fn the preliminary stages of review,both the Planning Conmission and Staff indicated to thehospital that it was important to remove traffic fromthe West Meadow Drive area. The Land Use Plan hasdesignated the l{est Meadow Drive area as a transitionarea between the Lionshead and Vail Village CornmercialCores. Section 4.4 the Land Use Plan states:

In respect-to the road irnprovernents proposed in the AccessControl Plan prepared by TDA Colorado Inc., the staffbelieves that the plan provides for nuch needed inprovementsto the South Frontage Road. The key issue related to the
Access Control Plan is whether or not the Colorado Divisionof High$rays will find the plan acceptable. In a prelirninary
review session on January 31, 1989 Ln Grand Junction, thehospital , Vail National Bank, Doubletree Hotel , andrepresentatj-ves fron the Town of Vail net with the Highway
Departrnent Access Control Connittee to review the plan. The
Highway Department wrote a letter sunmarizing their concernswith the Access Control Plan.
Instead of denying the proposal by strict application of theState Access Code, the Colorado Division of Highways agreedthat access to the parking structure would be possibleprovided that
. They stated tbat they feltt i€ nas possible to provide a positive access design thatwill neet the requireroents of the property olrners without
comprornising public safety. The highway departnent
recornnended that the property owners consider the followingdesign options:
Provide one access to the parking structure whichin turn provides access to the Doubletree and VailNational Bank.
Close the two westerly approactres to the old post
Office and provide a road to the easterly approachalong the Interstate right of way and connectparking lots around the Post Office. This wouldallow for novement to the Frontage Road more to the
North.
Removal of the super elevation (bank of the road)
and center line spirals to gain nore room. (please

In tight of these connents, the hospital requested toneet with the council on February 7, to discuss hosr the
proposed Frontage Road irnprovenents affect the Town ofVaiI and to ask for Town of Vail support in resolvingthe conflict. At that rreeting the council passed aresolution addressing the hospital request. (Copies ofthe resolution will be availabte on Monday. )
The staff also agrees with the resolution in the respectthat we are supportive of the property owners efforts to
work out an acceptable Frontage Road improvement plan
with the Colorado Departnent of Highways. Instead ofprohibiting the project from proceeding through theplanning process, the staff believes that it is
acceptable to proceed with planning commission review of
the proposal with the condition that an access perrnit be
approved by the colorado Division of Highways before a
building pemit is released for the hospital expansion.
The proposal is extremely complex and involves threeprivate property orrners plus the Town of Vail . To theircredit, the three property owners have reached agreement
on a rnyriad of issues which allow for the cornpletion ofthe Frontage Road inprovements.

mix of hospital senriCes is not expected to change withour proposed expansion, it seems a reasonable assumptionthat the percentage of total spaces unused at 5:30 pmwill remain approxinately 45-518, as it was on January
11 and 12. Thus, the nunber of unused parking spaces at
5:5O pm will increase to the range of 126-142 when the
parking structure is constructed. This is almost threetines the number of spaces !'te have made available to the
Doubletree Hotel during evening hours.

Enployees who fill day-tine only jobs, such as businessoffice personnel , nomally leave ttre hospitaL between4:30 prn and 5:00 pn. Shift changes for positions thatare staffed round-the-c1ock, such as nursing and EMTjobs, occur variously between 3:00 pn and 4:OO pn.
Thus, the overlap that occurs while one shift Lsfinishing and another is coning on duty is finished 1ongbefore- the spaces would have to be available to theDoubletree. In addition, uost evening shifts have 25-308 fewer personnel than the day shifts they replace.(Ietter fron Dan Feeney January 13, 1999)
The Doubletree has submitted the following informationconcerning their parking utillzation:
The results of the sun/ey show that dayrtine parking
demand for the Hotel employees, condominium owners, andguests ranged from approxiraately 15* to 38* of supply.During this period Hotel occupancy ranged frorn lZt to100*. 388 of the parking supply is equat to G3 parkedcars.
During the evening hours the survey indicates that a
number of rrunauthorizedrr cars utilize the.parkingsupplied by the Doubletree. These are patrons of thebar and restaurant and when factored into the surveyindicate a higher utilization of the parkinq sulply. At9:0O p.n. the 167 spaces were never full but ourobservation is that later in the evening the parkingfills close to capacity.
The suri\rey supports very strongly that the jointly
shared parking arrangement proposed by the Vail Valleyltedical Center and the Doubletree is a workable anddesirable solution. Even though our sunrey indicatespeak usage during the day is roughly 38t naxinun we areproposing to provide 73* of our required spaces duringthe day and 100t in the evening hours. The differencewill nore than provide a trcushionn for any seasonalfluctuations or special events ttrat nay occur. (Meno' from Peter tanar dated.ilanuary 10, 1989.)
The Staff approves of the strared parklng concept f,or thesetwo projects. We believe that the shared parking willprovide for a nore efficierft. use of parking between bothprojects.
Delivery Senrice:
The existing driveway at the east end of the bospital will benaintained as a fire Lane to facilitate snow renoval fron theupper deck of the parking structure and as an access to theserrrice door at the southeast corner of the parkingstructures lower level . The service door at the south wLll

be used only by naintenance vehicles and not by the public.Deliveries will continue to be received at the naterlals
management department in the southeast corner of the buildingvia West Meadow Drive. 'At this tine, the hospital does notfeel that it is practical to have truck deliveries drivethrough the proposed parking structure at the east side.
Snow Removal:
Snon on the top level of the parking structure uill be pushedoff the southeast corner into the service corridor. Becauseof extrenely linited space the hospital anticipates trucking
snow off the site after every major snow storro and after
second or third moderately sized snow storm. Staff concernon this issue is that the hospital agrees that all snordrernoval and drainage nust be handled on their site. Drainage
and snow may not be pushed onto the Frontage Road or to otheradjacent properties.
5.Pedestrian Connection With The Bank:
The hospital is providing a sidewalk connection fron the VaiINational Bank property to the top level of the parkingstructure. Although the design and location of the sidewalk
may need to be refined at the request of CDOH and at the
Design Review Board level, the staff believes that thesidewalk connection between the vail National Bank andhospital parking structure is irnportant.

spaces will have access off l{est }Ieadow Drive, theyanticipate that an inrnediate reduction of 5Oo trips per dayduring peak periods will be achieved. This is based on thlhospital's observation that each parking space generates 5-6trips on West Meadow Drive between 7an and 5prn. (See letterfrom Dan Feeney). Vehicular traffic will be drasticallyreduced, safety will be inproved and ttre door will be openedto nake the necessary inprovements to nake this an attractiveand safe pedestrian connection between the Village andLionshead.

The hospital expansion does effect the character of the area
due to the increased bulk and mass of the proposed expansion.
However, even though the hospital has somewhat of aninstitutional appearance, the third floor expansion on West
Meadow Drive has been designed to break up the bulk and nassof the expansion as nuch as possible. The third floor is not
one solid building waII extending above the second floor.Instead, the architects have broken up the mass by the use oftwo deck areas and one recessed area.
The hospital has also used as much glass as possible alongthe west and south elevations. The glass also helps to
decrease the perception of the bulk of the building.
The parking stnrcture has nininal inpacts on West MeadowDrive. Most of the structure is hidden from view by theexisting easter:r wing of the hospitat. Fron the SouthFrontage Road, the parking structure will actually beslightly below the grade of the road so visual impacts of thestructure on the Frontage Road should be nininal. It will beirnportant that as nuch landscaping as is possible (given CDOHrequirenents) be located in the planting areas along the
South Frontage Road. Even though the structure itself willnot be visible it will be positive to screen the view of carsparked on the top of the structure.
The hospital is proposing to decrease the amount of asphalton the east side of the Medical Center. Access will still
need to be provided for fire and maintenance vehicLes alongthe east side of the hospital . Hordever, the hospital hasproposed to landscape between the access road and theadjacent SkaII ttus property. Staff believes that this will
be a positive inprovenent for both projects. Access to thetrash facility will still be naintained for the Skall Hus.
Iv. Such other factors and criteria as the connission deemsapplicable to the proposed use.
Vail Valley Medical Center Master Plan:
The Staff is looking at the Master Plan as a Conea*ual gfuide
1. The parking structures should be connected- by a ranpthat will allow for direct access between the twostructures. We realize that the connection is notfeasible until the anbulance building is relocated tothe eastern portion of the site. However, ve do notfeel that it would be acceptable to build the westernparking structure without this connection. Even if awest parking structure is not built, we continue to
recomrnend that access from the northeast parkingstructure to the west surface parking lot be provided
once the anbulance building is relocated.

as previously noted, policy 4.4 refers to possible
improvements to the l{est Meadow Drive area.
2. Staff would prefer to see future parking located underthe east wing of the hospital when it is rebuilt. Itwould benefit the site if the western parking structurecould be avoided.
3. We feel strongly that the fourth floor for the east andwest wing should be pulled back fron the West MeadowDrive side of the expansion. Terracing back will reducethe rnass of the building to the users of the street andto the adjacent residences.
4. The Staff does not feel that the hospital should rely onLot 10 to meet parking needs in the future. Eventually,once the West l{eadow Drive pedestrian mall is created,Lot 10 will nost likely be used for landscaping and apocket parlc.
5. Staff could not support an expanded service deliveryarea off of Meados Drive on the southeast corner of theproperty. fnstead, we would strongly encourage loadingand delivery to be relocated to an area that couldaccess off of the South Frontage Road.
Master Land Use Plan:
The Vail Valley Medical Center lies in the Transition Area.This land use designation is described as follows:
The transition designation applies to the area between
Lionshead and the Vail Villagre. The activities and sitedesign of this area are ained at encouraging pedestrianflow through the area and strengthening the connection'-
between the two cornmercial cores. Appropriateactivities include hotels, lodging and other touristoriented residential units, ancillary retail andrestaurant uses, museums, areas of public art, natureexhibits, gardens, pedestrian plazas, and other tlpes ofcivic and culturally oriented uses, and the adjacentproperties to the north. This designation would includethe right-of-way of West Meadow Drive and the adjacentproperties to the north. (Land Use Plan, page 33)
AIso,
The staff finds that the proposal is in concert with the IandUse Plan. The key element is reducing traffic on West l{eadoqtDrive to'facilitate implementation of policy 4.4. We feelalley Medi

RE: Informal Review of the Vail Valley Medical Center andParking Structure, Design Review Board, April L2, i-989
Dear Dan:
Below is a summary of the comments rnade by the Design ReviewBoard on April 12, 1989:
1. fn general , the improvements to the south facade of thebuilding were appreciated by the Design Review Board.
2. The Board reguested additional landscaping on the w. MeadowDrive side of the project as well as along the westelevation of the buildinq.
3. The DRB suggested that you look at a material change forthe parapet wall for the third floor. There was discussionabout using a light colored concrete which would serve to
decrease the perception of the buildingrs height. Thisdesign approach would also help with the mass and buLk ofthe building.
4. There was a great deal of discussion concerning thelandscape plan adjacent to the parking structure. Ibelieve that your idea to actually add the structure andlandscape area to the nodel wiII help us all. understand theproposal much better. Specific types of trees and sizesshould also be listed on the landscape plan. The Design
Review Board was concerned that the materials be large
enough so that they truly have an impact on screening thestructure.
5. Please be sure to address landscaping on the northwestcorner of the structure as well as landscaping along theeast side of the existing building adjacent to the SkaalHus. on the phone today, we discussed the need for alandscape buffer perhaps with a row of aspen trees to offerseparation between the hospital and Skaal Hus. This was aninportant element in the Planning Conrmission review andshould not be forgotten.
6. I have scheduled you for another Design Review Boardmeeting on May 3. You agreed to submit additional drawingsto the staff by April 28. Once again, the May 3 meetingwill not be for a final vote. However, it will allow youthe opportunity to make sure that the Design Review Boardhas no further concerns with the landscaping or the thirdstory along West Meadolr Drive. I understand that you will
need additional time to fully address the DRBrs concernsrelating to the structure and landscaping. A final reviewof the hospital project wilL occur on May 17. At thattirne, f wiII be back in the office. I would alsoappreciate it if you would send over the letter concerningthe hospital's position on the Ioading area for the bank assoon as possible. Rick will be handling the bank projectif you have any further questions.
Thank you again for naking the effort to corne to a specialDesign Review Board rneeting for your project. I will be back inthe office on May 15.

RE: Conceptual Review of the Vail Valley Medical Center
and Plrking structure, Design Review Board, March 29' 1989
Dear Dan:
Below is a sunnary of the comrnents made by the Design Reviey
Board on March 29, l-989. As you know, this was a conceptual
review.
1. Landscape Plan
A. Landscaping should be very substantial at the entry to
the par-kini structure. aaaitional planting in this
area is necessary.
B. lhe size of the materials should be as large as
possible.
C. Further study is necessary for the trench area
adjacent to Lhe parking structure. It was suggested
that the architelts look at building a retaining walI
along the east side of the trench which could be used
for landscaping. This would still allow for adeguate
ventilati.on- foi the parking structure and make the
landscaping visible fron the Frontage Road.
D. Sidewalk connections should be added between the
parking structure and the bank, as well as the parking
structure and Doubletree property.
E. The signage for the parking structure should be
included in the landscape plan- This will ensure that
the landscaping does not block a logical location forthe signage.
F. Lighting for the entry way and parking structure
should be suburitted with your application.
c. The layering of the landscaping in the Bank planter is
positive.
2. Third Floor Addition
A. The Design Review Board liked the new entry plan. The
DRB felt that the architects had done a good job of
creating nore of a pedestrian scale on the west
elevation.
B. Many menbers $rere still concerned about the
greenhouse. Sone members felt that the greenhouse
would not function and would be too hot. Others
agreed that the greenhouse would be too hot' but alsofelt that the greenhouse form did not seem to be
conpatible with the existing building. one memberfelt that the greenhouse would be acceptable as long
as the greenhouse slope was used elsewhere on the
building.
C. It was suggested that the architects try to addplantings underneath the second story overhangs along
west Meadolt Drive. One member said that they were
certain that plants will thrive in these shaded
areas as long as the appropriate plants are used.
D. The architects should present a specific design for
the concrete bunkers along West Meadow Drive.
E. The architects should look at adding windows on the
east and west elevations of the buiJ-ding,particularJ.y in the area of the greenhouse and the
east elevation which connects to the existing
building.
F. Several nembers suggested that it would be appropriateto add berrning and additional landscaping alonq West
Meadow Drive.
G. There was still concern about the massing of the third
floor. It was suggested that the architects make a
horizontal demarcation of the third floor by the useof a change in material .
H. The board specifically requested that you submit aroof p1an, complete landscape Plan for the entire site
and a specific design for the concrete bunkers at the
next neeting.
Enclosed with the letter are a project application, signapplication, naterials list, and Design Review Board schedule.In order to meet the April 19 Design Review Board rneeting, itwill be necessary that you subnit all your information by AprilLoth. f wilt be gone the last part of ApriJ- and the first part
of May. Rick grhnan has agreed to handle your project while I
am gone. I will be out of the office after April l-4. It would
be best if you could try and make your subrnittal before that
date so that I can nake sure everything is organized.
I aru sorry that you are not feeling well. I wish you good
health and hope you feel better soon. If you have any further
questions, please feel free to give me a call at 479'2L38.

RE: Infornal Review of the Vail Valley Medical Center andParking Structure, Design Review Board, April L2, 1989
Dear Dan:
Below is a surunary of the comments rnade by the Design ReviewBoard on April 12, 1989:
l-. fn general , the improvernents to the south facade of thebuilding were appreciated by the Design Review Board.
2- The Board requested additional landscaping on the w. Meadorr/Drive side of the project as well as along the westelevation of the buitding.
3. The DRB suggested that you look at a material change forthe parapet wall for the third fIoor. There was discussionabout using a light colored concrete which would serve todecrease the perception of the buildingrs height. Thisdesign approach would also help with the nass and bulk ofthe buildincr.
Ja.There was a great deal of discussion concerning thelandscape plan adjacent to the parking structuie. fbelieve that your idea to actually add the structure andlandscape area to the nodel will help us all understand theproposal rnuch better. Specific types of trees and sizesshould also be tisted on the landscape plan. The DesignReview Board was concerned that the materials be largeenough so that they truly have an impact on screening thestructure.
5. Please be sure to address landscaping on the northwestcorner of the structure as well as landscaping along theeast side of the existing building adjacent to the SkaalHus. On the phone today, !'le discussed the need for alandscape buffer perhaps with a row of aspen trees to offerseparation between the hospital and Skaal Hus. This was aninportant elenent in the planning Commission review andshould not be forgotten.
6. I have scheduled you for another Design Review Boardneeting on May 3. You agreed to suburit additional drawingsto the staff by April 28. Once again, the May 3 meetingwill not be for a final vote. Hourever, it will allow youthe opportunity to make sure that the Design Review Boardhas no further concerns with the landscaping or the thirdstory along West Meadow Drive. I understand that you wiJ_1need additional tine to fully address the DRBrs concernsrelating to the structure and landscaping. A final revie!,tof the hospital project will occur on Uay 12. At thattirne, I will be back in the office. f would alsoappreciate it if you would send over the Letter concerningthe hospital,s position on the loading area for the bank assoon as possible. Rick will be handling the bank projectif you have any further questions.
Thank you again for naking the effort to come to a specialDesign Review Board neeting for your project. I will be back inthe office on May 15.

Dear Dan:
Attached you will find an application forro for a conditionaluse permit in anticipation of your subnittal for an expansionto the Medical Center. The following comments are intended toexpand on the submittal requirements outlined on thisapplication form and also are in response to the drawings yousubmitted to us for informal review last week.
1. A vicinity plan showing this facility in relationshipto adjacent properties will be helpful . f believe adrawing was prepared during the review of the lastexpansion in L9g6.
2. While using a 1rr:20, scale for the planning
Conmission review is acceptable, !/8u21-r or largerwill be required for Design Review Board review.
3. It would be helpful to indicate the area of theproposed addition on the elevations.
4. Complete elevations of the proposed parking structurewill be necessary.
5. Complete floorplans of the existing structure shouldbe subroitted at the time of application.
6. A written statement will be necessary outlining thenature of the proposed expansicn, to includereference to the issues of parking as well as accessoff the Frontage Road.
7. Infonoation from your parking survey data relevant toestablishing the new parking denand will be helpful .
fn all likelihood, you will be working with Rick gzlnan andPeter Patten when your fonnal suburittal is made. As hre
discussed yesterday, it may be wise you and I to get togetherwith Rick to bring him up to speed on the project before Ileave. Please do not hesitate to call with any additionalguestions you may have.

L8l- west Meadow Drive
Vail , Colorado 81657
Dear Dan:
It was a pleasure to have met with you concerning future
expansion plans at the Medical Center. This tetter is a
follow-up to that conversation.
The present agreenent between the Town and the WMC established
r.guirements ior parking as related to the '86 expansion and
future growth of Lhe facility. The agreement required that, 22O
parking spaces be provided (both on and off site) to meet the
dernandi of the ltedical Center. This nunber was based on the
existing facility and the proposed expansion. It is understood
that a fortion oi ttris explnsion r^ras not constructed in'86
(the O.B. wing), and the development of this space would not
change the agreed upon figure of 22o spaces-
The agreernent went on to require that all parking.be provided
on sife at such a tirne that the Medical Center initiates
another expansion. rron-site parkingrr would include_providing_
the 20-30 lpaces currently leased from the Manor Vail, as well
as any new bemand created by expansion beyond the conplelion of
the pians approved in 1985.- sinply stated, required parking
for Lhe WMe- is 220 spaces after the conpletion of the plans by
Fisher Reece and Johnson dated October 25' l'985-
AII reguired parking is to be provided on-site with any future
expansion. the pre-ise nurnber of spaces (over the 22O) would
be deternined based on the nature of the proposed expansion.
This deternrination would be made as a part of the staff and
Planning Cornmission's review of your report.
I look fonrard to working wlth you on this proJect. Please do
not hesitate to contact ne with any questions you may have'
Sincerely,

Re: Vai I Val ley Medical Center expansion
Dear Hillary:
A number of our concerns over the proposed hospital expansion were disc'-lsseC at
our last meeting in Oecember. For your information, I have summarized the
issues raised at that last meeting. While I do not think there are anlr issues
listed here that have not already been discussed, this letter should provide you
wjth a clear understanding as to what our prel iminary concerns are over this
proposal .
The three most significant areas of concern are:
l. Parking. There is a strong feeling amoung our staff that the parking
proviaea on the site plan is jnadequate when considering the level of
development proposed. Further, it is our feeling that the development on
the hospital site must stand on its own w'i th respect to parking. The
parking demand generated by the hosp'i tal should be provided on jts site.
Our staff will be unable to support a proposal that involves hosp'ital
employees parking in the Lionshead parking structure, as has been
d i scussed.
2. Landscaping. It is very important to keep in mind that the hospital is
surrounded on three sides by residential development. Landscape areas
become critcal in providing a buffer between the development on the
hospital site and adjacent properties. Prel iminary calculatjons show less
than 12% of the site to be landscaped. In addition, the parking area
shown on the site plan lacks adequate amounts of interior landscaping, as
is reguired in the zoning code. It was stated at our meeting that with
the use of appropriate landscape materials, the landscape area becomes
less important. I would agree with this comment, however, only to apoint. I would encourage you to submit with your conditional use
applicatjon, a prel iminary landscape plan demonstrating how the use of
materials will compensate for the inadequate amount of landscaped area
oroposed.
3. Timing of Approvals. It is oun understanding that construction on the
hospital expansion is anticipated for the lst of Apri1, 1986. The timing
of beginning construction is a concern of the staff when considering that
we have yet to see a formal application. As was discussed at our meeting,
Design Revjew Board approval is needed as weil as approval of the Planning
and Environmental Commission. Once an application is submitted, this
process would take a minimum of 6 weeks. I cannot stress enough the
importance of submittTiFi-application to our department as soon as
possible in order to begin the formal review process.
There were a number of other issues that were also discussed at our meeting.
Relative to the three'i tems mentioned above, they are less significant in
'importance, a1 though st'i ll warrant attention. These include the following:
l. Control of Parkinq Lot. The manneri n which the parking lot will be
ffiddressedinyourapp].ication.Whetherthis.isccne
with gates or attendents is your prerogative. However, it should be
addressed in your appl ication.
2. Helipad. Whether or not a helipad is included as an element of this
proposai, jt should be addressed in the application. I would anticipr.te
that Planning Commission members would inquire as to what your plans are
for this faci'lity on your site (if any).
3. Desjgn. hlhile the design of the addition is more of a concern of the
Design Review Board than it js of the Planning Commission, I feit it
important to bri ng to your attention at this t'ime. As was discussed, the
f1 at roof, fenestration, and materials are quite different than those used
with the existing building. lllhile explanations were given to me as to why
the difference in design characteristics, this is sure to be an issue of
discussion with both the Commission and the Design Review Board.
In additjon to the submittal requjrements outlined in the application form for a
conditional use permit, I would request the fol1owing information be provided
with your appf ication:
l. A stamped survey of the property defining boundaries as well as existing
i tliprovements .
2. Information regarding the anticipated increase in numbers of employees to
accommodate the needs of the new expansion.
3. Some indication as to how many hospitai employees would be parking in the
Lionshead parking structure under your proposal.
To summarize, the staff's preliminary analysis of this proposal is that the site
is not capabie of handling the level of development proposed. This is dri ven by
two factors, the apparent inability to provide parking on site, as well as the
limited landscaping that js proposed. 0ver the years, Vail has taken great
attention in reviewing development proposals with respect to the guide lines and
standards that have been established. While it is recognized that there are
differences between the operations of a hospital and a lodge, we still feel it
is stil1 very important to maintajn the integrity of our adopted development
standands. I would encourage you to consider this in the development of your
final proposal.
Please do not hesitate to cal'l me with any questions you may have.

RE: Survey of parking requ'i rements from othen communitjes for hosp'i tals and
medical centers
The fol'l owing parking requirements are taken from zoning codes of a sampling of
different communities. These examples are from information provided by surveys
done by the American Planning Association in ]980 and 1982. Nine of the 30
cities surveyed are jncluded in this table. These nine were selected becauses
they included requirements for both doctor/medical offices and for hospitals.
In these cases, as in the case with the Vail zoning code, parking requirements
are different for these two uses.

WMC asks Town of Vail
to delny vote on expansion
By lohn Calhoun
Ddt Srrfilllirlr
Vail Valby Medicat Cent€r
offcials have as&od the Vail
Planning Commission o delayiE vote on the proposed $8.3
million hospital erpansion for at
least tclo w€eks.
The VVMC Bmrd of Direc-
toNs was schedulcd to see* for-
mal Planning Commission p-
p,rowl for their cxpansion on
Monday but have &layed the
prwess until at l€ast Jan. 23, thenext r€gular meering. The
hospital missed a noon deadline
on Wednesday for tunring in the
pmper documents to the Tbwn
of Vail, according o a own offi-
cial.
Dan Feeney, project manager
for the hospitat expansion, said
Wcdnesday that there was a
delay in their negotiations with
the Doubletree Hotel and thev
did not have the time to com-
plete the 0nal paperwork. The
hospital is rngotiating with the
Doubletree for a 5,00 square-
foot piece of property, which is
critical o the expansion.
The hospital's proposal in-
cludes a new arccess mad that
would lead frorn the medical
center to the Soudr Fronlare
Road. The rmd wotrld have -to
go through 5,000 square feet of
the Doubletrcc's propeny. Thehospital has offered dre
Doubletree the use of its
proposed pa*ing sEucturc
during the evening hours in cx-
change for tlre land.
'11'e've been involved wirlr
some very complicatcd issreswith the Doubleuee Hocl,"
Feeney said. "I think we've
resolved tlle is$es. We have a
poposed plan that hm been ac-
cepM and expect to go back (to
the Planning Commission) two
wecks from Monday."
The horyial Board was ro
seek aPP,oval lo expand $e
feility by nearly 30,0@ square
feet and o add a 185-space
parking stsucbre on fie nor-
theast side of the hospial.
Hospital officials have said that
lftey would like o begin con-
stsuction after dre ski season in
late April or early lvlay.
The main reason for drc ex-
pansion is o lure Dr. Richard
Steadman, M.D, to Vail.
Steadman and his staff, who see
approximately 650 patients each
year, arc sought out by some of
the world's best alpine ski
rrcers. Steadman, an onhopedic
sugeon, is the primary surgeon
for the U.S. Ski Team.
The expansion, in part, would
include four new operating
rooms on the third floor and 1l
new padent rooms on the second
floor.
A contsact between Steadman
and he hospial has not been
signed but negotiations ar€ con-

tinuing,
Another requirement that sands in the way of a
final approval for the expansion is a South Frontage
Road Impovement plan, which must be approved by
the Colorado Highway Department before the final
go can be given from the Planning Commission. Al-
tlough the hospital's version of the frontage road im-
provement plan is basically complete, Feeney said,
formal Highway Department approval is not expectod
for at least four to six weeks..
He said, however., that the hospial Board will srill
probably seek Planning Commission approval for the
expansion in two weeks.
Feeney said that hc hopes to have a preliminary
meeting with thc Highway Department next week to
sec if they agree with rheir concepL If rhey dq he
will offer that bit of informuion to the Planning
Commission.

The Dec. 2 Newe Brief article

insult to the Council and an

Farm,ed animals is another mattir
Ban fur coats made from trapped animals
By EAMISE IEAR
It is purely coincidental that
this ehould be submitted so
soon after an igsue on fur coats
appeared in The Vail lYail, but
I think thie needs to be brought
to the fore when there are so
many people in town and the
Christmas Spirit is in the air.
First, I would like to make a
distinction between "ranch" or
"farm" animals, and wild ani-
mals. The former is raised for
its pelt. Although this ie done in
a most horrible manner, as
long as I use farm products
myself, I have no argument.
The latter are wild animals
which are trapped in leg-hold
traps. This is my beef.
An animal killed in this way
succumbs to: a) freezing, b)
starvation, c) shock, d) preda-
tors (who eat the animal alive,
starting with eyes and repro-
ductive organs). In some cases
an animal may chew off it's
own leg, only to go off and die
elsewhere. The other tragedies
involved are the young who
will die without the parent, the
mate which is left alone, and
animals who are not caught
intentionally - they were just in
the wrong place at the wrong
time, and then discarded.
Multiply this by 20 to 40, as it
takes that many to make one
coat, and you have one very
expensive and disgusting
article of clothing. I do not
mean to offend those who
wear these garments, just as
they do not intend to offend me
by wearing them. (Hereafter I
shall refer to furg of trapped
animals ss "these ga.rments.")
Why do we, in the Vail
Valley, have to put up withVail's image of being s
platforrn to parade thege
garrnents? They are nothing
but displays of misery and
cruelty.
I have a friend who leaves
her fur behind in Dallas when
she comes to Vail. I think we
are more environmentallv
concerned than that. We werl
concerned when three dogs
were poisoned in Minturn, we
were concerned when it was
decided that marauding bears
should be shot, we were con-
cerned when deer and elk
herds were starving during a
very harsh winter recently, we
are concerned about the Holv
Cross Wildernegs Area, and i
believe peofle here intently
followed the saga of the
trapped whales.
Then wh5 oh why, do we sit
back and let Vail and Beaver
Creek have the reputations for
being THE place to show off
theee garments. Is the Dollarreally Almighty enough t o
make ue shut up and lower our
standarals?
If Vail iE to be known as a
'World Class' reeort, not 'World
Crass,' it should be exactly the
opposite: a place which shows
care for cnvironmental issues,
a mountsin community for
people to look up to, a place for
people to respect, and a place
that leadg rather than follows.
The reet of the country, nee the
Weetern World, would take
note.
If we are eupposed to be
European then lmk at much of
Europe, where the trade in furs
from trapped animals, and furs
in general, is more and more
considered somewhat vulgar,
People would rather show a
wealth of knowledge than a
knowlefue of wealth.
As many will know, Aepen
has passed an ordinance ban-
ning the esle of fure from
trapped animala within the
town. I would like to gtrive for
this here. And until then, people
intent on buying fure should
educate themselveg ae to how
the fure are procured - farmed
or trapped?

McMahan says, though, that
acosss can be provided safely
fronr Weat Meadow Drive. He
saya the street needs to b€
reconftgured to provide for a
separate lane for bicyclists and
pedeetrians.
"I feel Meadow Drive was
dedgned for care, and that we
need another meanE for
pedertriane and bikee to getthrough there," say6
McMahan.
He says, however, that the
horpital will work with the
town to solve the accegs
problem however the town
&ci&e is be6t.
Town planning director
Peter Patten says Weet
Meadow Drive needs to be
reconfigured whether the
hospital ir expanded or not,
and that improving trafEc flow
in that area hae been a town
priority for quite some tirre."Improving pedestrian
accees from the Village to
LiureHead is very important to
the town," he eaya.
Even so, he would like to see
acceos for the hospital
provided from South Frontage
Road.
"Ttre ideal solution," he says,
"would be for the hoapital andthe Doubletree Hotel to
construct a ,
joint parking
structurs that is acc€e8ed from
the frontagp road."
In fact, architects from the
hotel and the hoepital are
worbng together to see if that
can be done,
"It will take eome creative
thinking but we are hoping to
oome up with eomething that
worke for both parties," saye
planning conEultant Peter
Jamar on behalf of the
Doubletree's ownere.
He aaye the Doubletree ig
aleo planning to expand in the
near future and that it makeg
sens6 to work with the hoepital.
"fire only thing separating the
horpital and tln Dorbletree is a
prroperty line," he saya.
Jamar aays he isn't sure it'e
feaaible to pmvide aoese to the
hospital from the frontage
road. "Sure, we can put a road
in, but Im just not gurre it yill
work for the hocpital. lhe town
has to bo careful not to dictate
something that desn't work."
He says, howener, ilrat it ie in
both parties' beat interest to
share parking ifa ahuctrre can
be designed that can pmvide
eaqr acceea to both properties,
Jamar points out that the
hoepital's peak demand for
parting is in the day time, and
the Doubletree's peak demand
in tlre evening and nighL
He eaye it may be poaeible tobuild a shared parking
gtructure at the eagt end of the
joint properties that would be
accesged from $outh Frontags
Road, with perlestrian access to
the hospital.
If that was done, ambulance
acceas 0o the hoepital, ae well as
accesg for people on cnrtchee
or in wheelchairs, would still
probably have to oe'. provided

Has the hospital outgrown
its present site, or is there rcorn
on West Meadow Drive to
accommodate many years' of
gowth by the hospital? Should
West Meadow Drive be a
pedestrian link between Vail
Village and LioneHead, or
should it continue to provide
ecess to the hospital? Can it do
both? Is it poesible to provide
acceeE to the hoepital from
South Frontage Road without
creating more problems than
are eolved?
The answers to theee

No objections to 1989
valley school budget
ByBIIIKERTG
Becauge no one objected to
the pr''oposed 1989 school bud-
get, the Eagle County School
Board took that to mean it wag
acceptable.The echool board met
Wednesday night for a public
hearing on the proposed 1989
school budgel
The 1989 budget would in-
crease school district property
taxea by about 10 percent. Cur-
rently 43 percent of of every
Vail citizen's property taxer go
to the echool diEtrict.
No questione were raiged re-
garding the propooed budget.
'Ve take the fact that none
of the citizens at the meeting
raised any questions regarding
the budget as a vote of confi-
dence in the Board of Educa-
tion," said fh. Ronald Srrith,
aseistant euperintendent of Ea-
gle County public schools.
The Board algo reviewed a
report from Gar5r Hendrix,
gchool district businesg man-
agor, on the effects of the
newly-paseed Colorado school
finance law. The new law rep-
resente a maja ehift in funding
to equalizo schooling through-
out the stata. Hendrix eaid the
school digtrict was in a strong
financial position, at least until
1991.
A remlution war passed in
opposition to Amendment 6,
which will be on November's
election ballot. Also called the
TABOR (Taxpayerr Bill of
Rights) Amendmenl it calls for
any increase in governmental
budgets to be paeeed by a two-
thirds mqiority in a general
election,
Smith eaid, "the amendment
would have a detrimental ef-
fect on the operation and fund-
ing of governmental agencies."
The School Board also
agreed to re-negotiate itg con-
tract with Battle Mountain
Bronze Foundry, which ie leag-
ing an old echool building inMaloit Park, outeide of
Minhrrn. The foundry has had
some financial dilfcultiee and
wanted to change ita leags.
"We want to keep the busi-
ness alive," gaid Smith. "Ifit is
succeeefpl it could bring 80 to
100 !*e to the Vail Valley."
Ttre proposed tobacco-free
policy wao read for the second
time, The policy would elimi-
nate any use of tobacco in
echool buildingc, or on the
grounda, with the erception of
public firnctione. The Board
aleo diecusded providing sup-
port groups and anti -srnoking
clinics for faculty. If agreed
upon the plen would go into
efect on Jan-l.

Hospital expansion raises eoncerns
Access is the key issue
By SCOT IERSCAARI)
Although eone town officials
continue to oppose the
propoeed expanoion of Vail
Valley Medical Center, hospital
administrator Ray McMahan
eaye opponents are in the
minority.
People like the hospital
where it is, that they support
expanding it, and that
evervone in town benefits ftom
the hospital's growth, he says.
"The hospital is a clean
induetry," says McMahan. "It is
not dependent on visitore or
snow conditions."
He says the hospital is no
longer a local clinic for the
treatment of ski injuries and
the delivery of local babies; but
is a regional hoepital whoee
sphere of influence is growing.
Already, he saya, many of
the infants born to Summit
County women are delivered
in Vail. He says that due to the
high price of malpractice
insutance, only doctore who
deliver many babiee can dford
to deliver any. Most Summit
County physiciane, he eaye,
cannot justify the coBt of the
ineurance. Summit County
detore refer pregnant Summit
County women to Vail doctors,
making it easier for Vail
doctors to elford malpractice
ingurance.
Furthermore, he eayr, the
Vail hoepital ir fart becoming' the center of orthopedic
rnedicine for the \f,ettern
Slope.
McMahan'e claim that the
horpital b a regional facility ir
not disout€d.
Tow'n Councilman Merv
Lapin and Planning
Commirsioner Dana Donovan,
however, say West Meadow
Drive iE the wlong place for a
regional hoopital.
l,apin saye that ae a regional
hospital, rnore expaneion will
be needed than can be
accommodated at the Dredentgite. He aays the hbepital
should expand by building a
second faeility .gome where
other than downtown Vail. "It'g
bad planning. lhe area they
eerve has potential for more
expansion than they can
handle on tlnt site," Lapin saye
"The hospital
is a clean
industry."
"The vast rnajority of Vail
residents think the hoepital
should be a regional. faciiity,
and they think ite preBent
location ie ideal," seys
McMahan.
He raye locale don't want to
have to leave Vail for baeic
rnedical care. He adds that
tourirta expect a world-clasp
medical facility close to the
elopea.
Ae for building a secondfacility gomewhere el se,
McMahan says that would be
inefticient.
Beeidee Donovan, planning
commiesioners Sid Schultz,
Jim Viele, Pam Hopkins, and
Peggy Osterfoss all suggested
at the commieaion'e Oct. l0
. me€ting that West Meadow
Drive is the wrong place for a
large hospital.
"If you had to do it again,
you iould probably choose
some other propertY," HoPkina
seid. "When do you make the
businees decision that this
property won't hold all You
want to do and move Part of it
to another site?'
Itrat time, }lcMahan aaid in
an intewiew on Oct. 17, wae
never.
He Baid if it was uP to him to
choose the iabd eite for a large
regional medical center he
would chooee the exieting eite.
"I think thig eite is ideal," he
said.
McMahan said it is
important that a hosPital be
centrally located. The current
site is clos€ to the mountain,
which . McMahan said ie
important in treating ekier
iqiuriee, and it iE eaeY for
visitors to find and get to. He
said it ie alo impctant that the
horpital be cloee to Interetate
7O which it ia.
'When do we stop growing?"
McMahan aaked. "In mY
opinion, we don't."

In 1987, the hoapital wrr
expanded frorn 50,000 rquare
feet to 90,000 feet. The
propoeed expanrion will add
25,000 square feet to the
hoepital and will include
conrtruction of a 56,000-
square-foot parking garage'
which will give the hoepital the
capacity to park 250 cars on
site.
$ things go according to the
hoepital's plana, constr"uction
on the parking garage will
begin in April of 1989, with
occupancy of the third floor
coraing in JulS 1990.
The 198? expansion
increassd hoepital bede from
19 to 90. The next expansion
would sreate epace for up to 20
more beils.
McMahan said there were
days laet winter, the first
winter with 30 beds, when all
aci<itrmodate gtill more
growth on the exieting site?
The wegt wing (which i s
curently two floors high, and
will gain a third in this
erpansion) was deaigned ao
that a fourth floor can .be
added. After that ie done,
McMahan eaid, the nert eteP
would be to demolish the
original hoepital building and
construct a new, bigger wing
there. The proposed parking
structure ie dao deeigned eo
that it can be added onto when
the need arieee.
Finanbee
Estimated cost of the
expansion and the parking
structure is $8.3 million.
McMahan says the hosPital
will issue debt for the entire
amount, and that the debt will
bc paid ol? with normal
operating rovcnuo. The

Ilold fast on hospital expansio n access
Expansion of Vail Valley Medical Center is probably a- gogd idea-
The -hospital provides the valley with high-quality health care
services and is an asset to the community.
It is a clean industry, employing many people on a year-round
basis. Expansion of the hospital will serve to make it an even more
important part of Vail.
Nonetheless, town planners must be diligmt in making sure that
the hospital is not expanded at the expense of other imPortant
elements of the town.
The hospital's plans should be scrutinized. as aggressively as plans
to expand a hotel would be.
The issue is not so much whether the hospital should be
expanded. Few people are opposed to having a bigger, better
hospital in Vail.
The issue is primarily one of access. The hospital is access€d off
West Meadow Drive. We agree with residents of that street and
with town planning commissioners that access to the hospital
probably should be provided from South Frontage Road'- If thigwas the hs[ time the hospital was going to be expanded,
perhaps we could live with West Meadow Drive serving as the
hospital's access.
The hospital, however, will almost certainly be expanded again
and again. Now is the time to develop a new acf,ess. We know.this
won't be easy, and we know it won't be cheap. AU the evidence,
however, is that access can be provided from South Frontage Road.
Parking is also an issue. Hospital officials and the owners of the
Doubletree Inn express hope that the two pfoperties can cooperate
in building a single parking structure at the east end of both their
properties, which would be accessed from South Frontage Road.
The alternative is a structure at the west end of the hospital
property, which would severely impact views from the Doubletree.
Even a larger struchrre at the east of the property woul-d have less
impact on views.
iooperation between the hospital and the Doubletree Inn ls
essential and will work to the benefit of both, as well as to the
benefit of the town.
We urge the town to take a hard-line approach to discussions
with hospital officials.
Hospital officials must be told in no uncertairi terms that
approval of this and future expansions is contingent on providing
acces from South Frontage Road.
West Meadow Drive should be developed by the town as a
pedestrian link between LionsHeaa arid Valt Village, with
automotive traffic limited to what is needed to service the homes
along the street.
Hospital expansion is a good idea, but only if it is done right. In
all likelihood it will be done right only if town officials insist on it.ll

We have a vision of the three becoming one, of the library

instead of by a no-man's land where children and visitors,
who are unaware of the peril, take their lives in their hands.
In some towns planning decisions are made with both eyes
cast cooly at the bottom line. In Vail, we firmly believe such
decisions must be made with one eye cast upon the dream
that brought us here.
We believe the hospital can be expanded ar\d West Meadow

Not at all. We're excited by the prospect of a better hospital
making Vail a better place.

only, to be the best ski town in the country. That was the
vision that brought bulldozers to this valley 25 years ago.
If that vision ever wanes there are plenty of other ski towns
eager for a shot at the top.
If the only people bothered by a hospital that keeps getting
bigger and keeps tossing more cars and ambulances onto
West Meadow Drive were the handful of people who live
there, we would probably say there was no compelling reason
to explore other access options.
The fact is West Meadow Drive links Vail Village with
Dobson Arena and Vail Public Library , both of which are
tourist attractions and meccas for local youth.
As the town exists now, there are three centers of activity,
the Village, the library and Dobson, and LionsHead.
moved it might even be impossible. With the post office
leaving and the Doubletree Hotel's owners enthusiastically
cooperating, we believe a solution can be found.
As a secondary issue, we believe the hospital's existing staff
is a far more valuable asset than any doctor who might come
here someday.
We think Steadman could be a tremendous asset to the
hospital and to the community. Unfortunately, the hospital's
administrators and board of directors have done an
inadequate job of selling that idea to the doctors who work
there now, many of whom feel this is being shoved down
their throats for reasons that have little to do with medicine.
Our vision for Vail requires more than that.
Ttrere I stood, at the top of

looked around for my friend in
her bright pink one piece.
Skiers passed me in all direc-

Suddenly I realized that it
was the friend that I'd been
waiting for. She was donned in
a new and unfamiliar eki oudit.
Silly me. It was the liret week

to etroll on the board roadwaY.
All we need ig more ambu-

storiee about the glut of empt5r
hoepital beds and the closing of
medical facilities in srnall rural
townE. Hae the need &r more
hoepital bede in Vail really been
proven? Why should everyone

this article, I would probably be
very insulted and not come
back. Do you realize the kind of
effect this sort of comment
could have on the tourists in
thie town, who are the biggest
supporters of our businesses,
or do you really care?
I would expect an apolory of
some Bort on your part for
letting the opinionated and
tacky writer put comments of
thir kind in yow newepaper. If
no apology is written, I would
not even consider doing
business with your ne\Yspaper,

I believe that the public has a
right to know that when You

and encourage funding to the
"non-profit' organization
known as Bravo! Colorado,
that you are, in my opinion,
encouraging indirect funding
to your profit making company

why I have consistentlY re-
marked that "I know where
you're coming from," after
you've encouraged taxpayer
dollarg be donated to Bravo!
Colorado.
There is nothing illegal about
encouraging government to
donate taxpayer dollare. Thig ie
commonly known aa "lob-
bying." However, when you
attack my attitude for etanding
up for taxpayers who have had
enough of exceegive govefn-
ment spending, I believe it is
important for the public to
know where you're coming
from and what your vested

As for rny "attitude,' I will
continue to work toward stoP-
ping the growing malaise of
exceseive spending that effects
all levels of govemment.

tacted by the Vail Trail, Brad
Quayle said his companY gets
$1,416 per month from Bravo!

Don't add to frontage road's congestion
The hospital is not just another business
By JOSEF STAIIFER
Just a response to what I feel
was a misguided editorial in
your paper last Friday!
Your statement that the hos-
pital is a business just like any
other business in town and
should be treated as such could
not be further frorn the truth.
The doctors who lease space
from the hospital (at rents far
below market value) are cer-
tainly in business for them-
seives, but the hospital (as you
should know after all these
years) is a community owned
non-profit organization pro-
viding first-class medical care
not only for Vail but for the
entire county.
This vear alone. more th:rn

half a million dollars was
written offin support of mostly
Eagle County residents who
were unable to pay their bills.
Had the hospital been treated
just as any other business from
the very beginning, there
would not be a Vail Valley
Medical Center today. We
would still have to rely on
Leadville, Glenwood Springs,
and Denver to satisfy our
medical needs.
I, for one, had the experience
of needing medical help in the
winter of 1963, and believe rne,
it was no fun driving to Glen-
wood Springs at 3 a.m. i n
agony. I would not wish that
experience on anyone. As late
as 1968, when my son wa s
born, although there were
capabld doctors available at
that time, we still did not have
adequate facilities to take care
of deliveries.
The Vail Valley Medical Cen-
ter now proudly announces
that they have approximately
400 deliveries a year, and that
expectant mothers can get the
attention they need from the
early stages of pregnancy right
up to the birth, thanks to the
first<lass medical facilities that
the Medical Center is provid-
ing. I could go on citing exam-
ples of the improved services
being provided now, but the
record speaks for itself to
anyone willing to look at it.
Certainly success hae its
inherent problems: increased
facilities - increased traflic, to
name just one. However, I do
not believe that the hospital
vehicular tra{fic is as much as
the general public believes,
especially during the winter
when most of our guests are
here without cars and rely
prirnarily on our free bus
system. The local traffic to visit
the doctors, in my opinion, will
be only nominally increased bythe propoeed expansion
program.
The suggested tralfic pattern
accessing the hospital via S.
Frontage Road instead of West
Meadow Drive would certainlv
do something for West
Meadow Drive, but would
have a disastrous elfect on S.
Frontage Road.
You obviously don't pick up
your mail or go to the bank
yourself. Otherwise, I am sure
you would not suggest that
additional traflic should be
added to this already oowded
and dangerous i nterchange,
It is beyond me why the
planning staff would propose
another four-way i nterchange,
especially in light of the inter-
change fiasco we already
possess. Are they motivated by
the future possibility of syn-
chronized tralfic lights from
East Vail to West Vail?
The Vail Valley Medical Cen-
ter was created and improved
by the vision, hard work, and
cooperation of many indiv-
iduals, with unanimous sup-
port from the community.
Your "hard line" proposal in
last Friday's editorial ig not
only inappropriate but entirely
out of step with the spirit of
what we believe is Vail!

VVMS clarifies
payment program
To the &lior:
The Vail Valley Medical Centu
takes grear pride in providing
guality healtlrcare to all, regardless
of their ability to pay. We must also
adhere o specifc policies to
achieve the delicate balance of
operating a hospital in a business-
like fashion in order to keep our
docs open and provide $e best
care pcsible to our patients. Yes,
we have a policy on Medicaid. Vail
Valley Medical Cenler providcs
care to Colorado Mcdicaid patients
on an emergency basis. If a poten-
tiatly non-emergency Medicaid
gatient requests medical attcntion,
we will still tseat them with the un-
derstanding that they are respon-
sible for the bill if Medicaid dcnies
us payment.
After numerous negotiations
with the Colorado State Depart-
ment of Social Services to become
a regular Medicaid provider, we
received a letter with many restric-
rions indicating that we would not
be paid for a large portion of our
patiens. One of those resuictions is
that the attending physician .must
be a Medicaid provider. Many
patienls could not be attended by a
participating Medicaid physician
due o the shonage of Medicaid
ccFts on Medicaid patient's ueated
on an emergency basis. Becaus€
Medicaid reimburscrrens ar€
based on a DRG payment program
which was implemented in July,
they pay a 0at ratc according to
diagnosis. As an exarnple, a r€centpatient incured charges d
$5355.60 and after the Medicai{t
paymenL tbc hospital wrote off
94955.Y2. The dilference betq/cen
what the lngitrl is recovering on
emcrgercy bledicaid ard what is
not being paid, 38 percent, is esscn-

M;lr{ahan said lhat Steadman would bring needed
business to Vail and his presence would benefit the
entire !own.
'He would bring in busine'ss drat odrerwise would
never come to the valley," Mctvlahan said.

The expansion of tlre hospital, which wou$ in'
clude, in pan, four new operating rooms on tlte lhird
floor and-ll new patient rooms on the second floor
remains a controversial subjr*t with some Vail
r€sidents, who havc atgued that the expansion would
increase raffic in the uea and would lake away from
Vail's small town image.
Hospital officials, however, have debated that
growttr in valt ls inevitable and traffic to and fmm the
facility, which is located on West Meadow Drive in
Vail, a narrow dead-end road, would actually
decrease if freir plan for an additional access road is
aproved.- The larest plan is o build a | 85-space parking
strirctu€ m the mnheast sitb of the hospital. The
parking sEucture would acccss the Soulh Frontage
onty tluough property that is currently owned by the
Doubleuce Inn. The original plan, which was dum-
pcd because of opposition, was o cotlstruct dte part'
ins struclue on the rrcrtheast comer of the hospial's
pr6petty.'tn thar plan, hcpital traff c would have sdll
used West Meadow Drive.
Hospital offcials have said that if the new pa*ing
shrture urd access road are appr,oved it would ac-
tu,ally decrease'lraffic on Wesr Mcadow Drive be-
cauG more hospital visitors c/ould use the South
Frontagg Rqd access. Cuncntly tlrre are 200 pa*'
ing spaces in the hospial's west lot If the new part-.
ing structure is built tlre lot would be decreased o
ll5 spaces. Mclvlahan estimated that the elimination
of 85 spaces would mean apprgximately 500 less
rips per day up and down Wes Meadow Drive.
However, even if the VVMC can reach an agree-
ment with the Doubletree today il mrlst still seet 4'
omval frorn the Colmado Highway Department'
trhich owns and mainains the South Frontage Road,
for tlre proposed hospial access road.
"We need to see how their proposal will coincide
witr future frontage ro:Id development," said Kristan
hitz, a Town of Vail planner' 'We feel that it is very
important 0re the fronage road improriement plan be
submitted with the hospital's design. We want to
make sure that it's handled as best as possible."

Vail's Planning and Envi-
ronmental Commiesion Mon-
day heaped praiae on Vail
Valley Medical Centcr s efrorts
to develop accese from South
FYontage Road and then tabled
the hospital's request for ap-
proval of its expansion plans.
Commissionere said they
dirln't feel comfortable appnov-
ing the plan before the
Colorado Department of High-
ways had approved acce ss
fmm South Frontage Road.
fire acceoe plan, as proposed
by the hospital, Doubletree
Hotel, and Vail National Bank,
would widen the frontage road
to three lanes directly in front
of theee propertiee, and would
involve construction of a
parking garage abutting the
highway ri ght-of-way and ac-
ceEeed directly from South
Frontage Road.
Hoepital admi ni etrators ar-
gued that etate apprwal for the
plan would be easier to come
by if town approval was in
hanA
Commiseioner Dana Dono-
van eaid she did not trust the
highway department to como
up with a plan that would be
good for Vail. She said ahe did
not doubt that the hoepital and
gtate could agree to an.acces!
plan that would satisfy them,
but tlrat ehe didn't think the
town ehould eign off on the
access plan before knowing
exactly what it i*
'We have to stay a powerful- player," she aaid. "You have rny
support, but we need to see the
solutioralefore we can say it ie
OIC You're real close, but
you're not quite thene."
The town planning depart-
rnent headed by Peter Patten,
had recommended approval of
the hospital expansion with a
number ofconditions.
One of the conditions was
that approval would be contin-
gent upon the hoepital obtain-
ing an accese permit from the
state and that the frontage
rood be widened to at least
three lanes at the point of ac-
oeaa.
Beaction
Tuesday alternoon, several
mernbere of the Vail Town
Council raised objections to the
planning commission'e han-
dling of the matter.
Councilman Eric Affeldt, a
former mernber of the hospital
board of directors, asked if the
council could call the commis-
sion's decision up for review.
Town attorney Larry Ee-
kwith said the council could not
do that. He said the final
decision on hoepital expansion
belonge with the planning
commission, and that there ie'nothing to appeal until the
csnmission makee a decision.
Affeldt said the matter had
been before the planning
commiesion for a long time
and that he was fruatrated that
the matter had not come before
the counsil. "We're left in the
drark,' he said.

Mayor Kent Rose eaid he
agreed with Affeldt'e eenti-
ments, and later informally
polled council as to whether it
ehould urge the commission to
come to a timely decision on
hoopital expansion, and council
agreed.
Council has not dealt with
the hospital'e plans very much
because, as Eskwith said, it is a
planning commission matt€r.
On Feb. 2, however, council ilid

the planning commisgion had

RaCtgtOrrnd
Hospital expansion, pro-
pced early last fall, generated
objections from residentg of
West Meadow Drive and oth-
ers who were concerned about
the implications of the hospital
relying on West Meadow Drive
for accesg.
The planning commission
then made it clear that expan-
sion plans would be looked
upon much more favorably if
accesE to the hospital could be
provided directly olf South
Frontage Road.
Since that time, hospital ofE-
cials have worked with Vail
National Bank and the Double-

He eatimated that the cost of

Fruetration was palpable
Monday as nobody got quite
what they wanted.
One planning commissi on6r
sa! ab..rit and tso, Jim Viele
and Sid Schultz, declered con-
flicts of interce! leaving only
four to vote.
Everybody lirom town etalf
to planning commi egioners to
hospital ollicials agreed that
the proposed access plan ia not
only better than adding more
trafEc to West Meadow Drive,
but also improves the afrected
section of South Frontage
Road by reducing ths nurnber
of accegs points and adding a
turning lane.
"I want to comnend the hos-
pital for all the work that haa
gone into thi* I hope it can all
be worked out," raid Cornmig-
sioner Grant Riva"
"Ttre hoepital hae done an in-
credible job, along with the
floubletree, in making an efhrt
to respond to our concerne,"
gaid Cornmissioner Peggy Os-
terfoee.
She aleo said thst improve-
mentg to South Flonta3e Road
aeem "elugive" and dependent
upon naking a deal *ith the
highway department.
firEre are gtill, however,
conc€rna on the part of some
regarding the expansion iteelf.
Ron Anderson, a resident of
nearby Skall Haus, eaid he ie
dieappointed with the "con-
crete bunkerg" of the last
hoepital expansion, and said
the neighborhood was becom-
ing quite inetitutionalized in
character.
Donovan aleo criticized the
architectum of the hoepital. She
gaid the horpital ie already
unattractive and that groater
efforta Ehqrld be made to nake
it fit into tbe neighborlood.
Commigsioner Pam Hop-
kine, an architect agreed. 'The
erchitecture ie diaappointing.'
She ruggeeted difrerent mater-ialr and different window

f,rednesilay, the hoepital ex-
pande* planr wol.o rhorn for
the firrt time to the Vail Design
Review Board. T'he meeting
war very prelimina:y in nature
ar the DRB will not formally
review the plane until the
expaneion hag been approved
by the planning cormisNion.
Corrments from the DRB
rere reported to be quite simi-
lar to thoae made by th. plan-
ning commiesion.
Town planner ltietan hitz
gaid the .DRB had concems
about the buildingfs mass and
encouraged changee that
would maLe the building
"relato better to Weet Meadow
Driw."
Stre eaid the board alao raid
that if a fourth floor is ever
built (thig expaneion addr a
third flocr) it ehodd be stepped
back coneiderably frorn the
buildingla facsdo.
Pam Hqkinr, who actg ag
the planning comrniesion's liei-
eon to the DRB, said the DRB
expreeeed the same concerna
as the planning commisrion.
"They wantcd the building
made more friendly."

that all hoepital traffc ehould
be removed from West Mead-
ow Drive.
Donovan agreed with An-
deron on that point ag rvell.
"Tly to get everything ofr
West Meadow Drivg" she said.
'You have cunre incredibly far
in a ahort time' md I thiak you
cen come further."
She eaid 6at cven with tho
propoeed new actesr there
would be too much tralfic on
lVegt Meadow Drive.
The current expansion-ac-
ceee plan would not rcmove all
hoepital trallic from Xleet
Meadow Drive, but only about
a third to a half ofit.
Councilman Tom Steinberg /
Eaid at Tuesday's council
meeting that arnbulance accesg
ghould be removed ftom Weet
Meadow Drive as part of this
expanaior,
Feeney eaid buililing the
parking sFucture/accees point
should reduce usage of Weet
Meadow Drive by about 500
tripa a day.
Ambulancee and all emer-
gency trallic would still use
Weet Meadow Drive. The
parking structure would be
ueed only by hospital ataff,
non-emerg€ncy patients of
doctore, and vigitors. Signage
would oontinue to direct hospi-tal traffic to Wegt Meadow
Drive.
The hospital's master plan
indicates that a future expan-
eion would move emergency
facilitiea to a building con-
atructed on top of the proposed
parking etructure, which
would have the elfect of re-
moving moet, if not all, erner-
gency traffic from West
Meadow Drive.
Future expaneions may also
include a second parking
structure, which would be ac-
ceeeed by driving off South
Frontage Road, through thefirrt propoeed parking atruc-
ture, out the bottom level of
that, and into the nsxt structuro
elgewhere on the propert5r. If
that happens, virhnlly all hoa-
pital traffic with the poseible
exception of delivery vehiclee
could be removed from West
Meadow I)rive.
After about two hor.ue of dis.
cuecion, errrnch tirne a*rived.
Hopkinr introduced a motion
to g"ant approval with the
conditions euggested by the
planning deparhnent.
Her motion died for lack of a
gecond.
f,lonoVan made a motion to
table the iesue until the town
knowr exactly what will be
acceptable to the state by way
of an accegg plan. Osterfoes
eecond€d the motion, and Riva
joined tbem in rrcting to table it
with llopkins voting no.
Feeney told the commigsion-
ere the propoeed accere plan ir
a "definite irnprovoment" over
what erigts now and appealed
for appoval."It would help in our
negotiations to bave a aign that
you are in favor of thir," he
raid. Feeney eaid the hospital
needs the 8upport of the town
in order to have credibility
with the stato. 'ahey are trying
to accommodate the town," he
sai&
Hospital administrator Ray
McMahan also appealed for
approval. "It's a good plan," he
said. "It worke for the frontage
road. It greatly increaseg
safety. We want to proceed
with the eqransion of the hoe-
pital. We need your approval
tonid$."
Oeterliosg said it should be
clear to the Etat€ that negotia-
tions to creato a frontage rcad
acoeaa are taking place at the
behegt of,the town.
T\erday, couneil members
debated whether the hospital
should cronstruct a helipad on
its roof. Currently there ig no
plan to do ao, and the hoepital
now ure a pa.d just west of the
poet ofEce.
9tcinbcrg and Roee botb
made the point tlut once the
poet ofEce site ia developed for
another use it may be impcei-
ble to Leep tlre helipad therc.

"Isn't it our decigion?" he
asked. "The three property

Town planning director

Thursday that nothing hap-
pened Tuesday that would

ing an appeal.
Rose suggested that the
highway department be asked
to approve the accees plan,
without all the conditions being

require an dccelera-
tion/deceleration lane ae the
state has euggested, the project
ought to be approved with only
limited irnprovements to South

ulation that the town work
with the atste and local prop-
erty ownerE to develop an im-
provement plan for South

In the end, Councilman Eric
Affeldt introduced a resolution
committing the town to suP-
porting the hospital in its nego
access approval on the hospi-
tal's terms, that is without
major improvements to South
Frontage Road, eo long 'as the
hospital, Doubletree, and bank
would agree to help fund
improvements to the section of
road bordering their properties
once an overall plan is
developed.
"All the partiee now etand in
agreement as to the procees
that should be followed,"
hospital board member Paul
Johnston said Thursday.
He said council took a rather
circuitous route, but ended up
supporting the hospital's posi-
tion that accese approval
ehould not be contingent upon
an acceVdecel lane,
Accees to the hospital from
South FYontage Road rnay be
politically necessary for the
hospital to gain town approval
for a major expansion pmject.
Origina[S the hospital had
sought to significantly expand
.its building and to build a
parking struc{rrc on tho.nrott
end of its property, which
would have been reached from
West Meadow f)rive.
The plan generated coneid-
erable opposition from resi-
dente of Weet Meadow and
from other people who would
like to s€e trallic on that stre€t
decrease rather than increase.
Even though council dis-
agreed with some of the hoepi-
tal's methods Tuesday night,
there was also praiee for all the
niork that has been done so far
to addregs the acceee question.
"Ttris ie a much better solu-
tion than what we have now-"
said Councilman Mew Lapin,
who lives on Weet Meadow.
Rose also commended
hospital odEcialg for their work
to develop access from South
Frontage Road.
Ttre hospital will go before
the Vail Planning and Envi-
ronmental Comrnieeion Mon-
day afternoon, though it ie un-
clear exactly what they will ask
for.
Patten said he will recom-
mend that no building permit
be iseued until access haa b€en
approved from South
Frontage Road.

Ambulance and emergency
access waa also debated. With
this expansion, the ambulance
and emergency area will re-
main in the same place, and
will continue to be accessed off

spaces are used, however, will
also change. Now, many of
those are used by hospital em-
ployees, who generally leave
their cars there from the be-
ginning until the end of each
shifL
Once the structure is built,
employees will be expected to
park in it, leaving most of the
104 epacee available for short-
term hospital visitors. .
Hospital and town o{Iicials
estimate the new parking and
access plan will reduce West
Meadow tralfrc by an everage
of 600 tripr a day. Town plan-
ning directc Peter Patten said
the town planning rtaff had
questioned vigorously whether
the changea would reduce
traf,Ec on Tlteet Meadow, and
had concluded they would.It was decialed by council
and agreed to by hoepital oI[-
sials that once expaneion is
complete, traffic and parking
patterna will be etudied to de.
termine whether ure. of West
Meadow haa gone down. If
West Meaalow traffic is not re-
duce4 it waa agrced, employee
parking could be moved back
to the wott lot and more lroepi-
tal visitdg could be required to
uee ths parking stucturc.
Hospital expangion wac con-
ditioned upon study of parking
and trafrc.
Councilwoman Gail Wahrl-
ich-Lowenthal said Vail Nat-
i,onal Bank ghould be a partner
in the parking etructure, and
that the structure ehould be
large enough in order to
accom-modete parking for tbe
bank building. She eaid she
workg in the building and that
many tonants and visitora now
have to park at the Doubletree
Inn. "The bank building har
real prcblems," she raid.
Mayor l(ent Roee euggested
that the parking struc ture
ought to be dug at least one
floor deeper in order to ac-
commodate future expansions.
Other council members agreed,
but hospital o{ficials said doing
so would be too expensive.
Council did nothing to re-
quire that a larger structure be
built.

a specific time frame, rather
than waiting and hoping the
facility is moved during a fu-
ture expansion that may never
come.
Councilman Eric Afteldt gaid
such a requirement would be
"arbitrary and capriciour." He
gaid he would be happy with
the eituation on Weat Meadow
Drive even if the ambulance
facility is never moved.
Blondie Vucich, director of
the Eagle Valley Humane
SocietS questioned the councilac to whether Dr. Dick
Steadman, who is expected to
move hia practice to Vail, will
. operate a laboratory in which
doge will be the subjects of
eurgical techniquea.
Council membera said thev
didn't know and queetionei
what right the council has to
dictate what goes on inside a
building. Hospital administra-
tor Ray Mcl\dahan eaid hoepital
ollicials do not know what re-
sesrch St€adman hae planned,
and have no business dictating
his activities.
Hoepital expaneion is de-
eigned to accommodate
Steadman and hie aaEociates.
Town attorney Larry Es-
kwith told council that it could
rule on whether the hoepital
could include an animal labo-
ratory. He said that if council
believes an animal lab would
have an effect on the commu-
nity and the neighborhood,
then council has the right to
prohibit such a uee.
Councilman Mike Cacioppo
said it wa$nai\a to believe that
doctorg do not condrict exper-
iments with animals.
John Slevin Eaid an animal
Iaboratory is not an appropri-
ate uae in Vail, especially not in
a residentiel neighborhood. He
said auch a lab would detract
frorn Vail's image a.s a resort.
Counciluran Eric Afreldt said
discuasiona of an animal labo-ratory would open up a
"Pandora e box" of moral iesueB
regarding what goes on in the
hoepital.
As a condition to approval,
council mandated that if an
animal laboratory ie propoeed
for the horpital it would firet
have to receive a conditional
uae permit.
Hospital board member Don
Welch said in an interview
sevetal weeks ago tbat the
hoepital board had already de-
cided that no animal lab could
be located in the hosprtal.
A final condition added to
approval of expansion is that if
a special improvement district
ia propoeed for an area includ-
ing the hoepital, the hospital
agrrees not to protest any as-
segernentg that might be levied
againrt it.
Before a building permit can
be iggued to the hoepital it will
need to obtain an oao+"a permit
for South Frontage Road.
Highway departrnent officials
have indicated that guch a

The Avon Town Council isn't
exactly racing forward to erect
eigna proclaiming the town'e
status as a nuclear fiee zone.
Tuesday night, the council
directed Beth Musolf, a
representative of the citizen'g
tasting plants in a rain forest.
She said the men both worked
for a large corporation and
were looking for something to
us6 as a eugar substitute, hop-
ing to discover it in some pre-
viousb unknown plant epecies.
"When you change one part
of the system, you change
other parts. The first rule of
intelligent tinkering ie to ssve
all the parts, and we aren't
doing tha!" she said.
She eaid the planet would not
be liveable ifit were not for ite
biological resources. "The wild
relatives of crop Plante are our
best hope for new food
gources."
The iseue of biological diver-
sity has been eteadily moving
to the forefront in environ-
mental circles recentlY as
tropical rain foreste are being
leveled at an unprecedented
rate.
Jengen said rain foreet is be-
ing burned down at the rate of
11 million hectaree s year
(about 4.5 million acres) and
logged at the rate of 4 million
hctares eadr yer.
She said Mexico has alreaily
loet 98 percent of ite rain
forests, and Brazil has lost 95

to meet individually wi th
councilman Jim Stovall to look
into the matter ftrrther.
"fire council generally sup-
ports the concept, but we're
lrying to see how a local
agency can ghow that suPPort
in light of federd regulations,"
said town manager Bill Jamee.
The Avon Political Action
Committee favore erecting
signs to etress the fact that
Avon passed an ordinance in
February, 198?, declaring itself
a nuclear free zone olf limits to
manufacture, storage and
traniportation of nuclear ma-
terials.
Of particular concern to the
committee is the transport of
Trident rnissile parts on trains
traveling through Avon.
In view of federal regula-
tions, town officiale are doubt-
ful that the ordinance can be
enforced to stop the rail trans-
poft.
"Ihe piece of legislation on
our booke is baeically unen-
forceable," said James.
He said Stovall would meet
with Mueolf to look into the is-
sue further.

The Vail Metropol i tan
developers eeeking land for
cattle or crops, but many in-
diqenous oeople also find rain
foieets a itcidy supply of fuel
wood.
Jeneen eaid that many Ttrird
World people need wood to
burn for cooking and heating.
"We can't tell people not to cut
trees unlegg we have alterna-
tives." :
Ae to what is being lost,
Jeneen likened the rain foregts
to a huge library of genetic in-
formation, "We're thinking of
buming down the library even
though. we've only loohed at 5
percent of the volumes.- 'Ertinction ie natural, but not
at thie rate. Destruction oeurt
quickly, but reconstruction ie
slow. Five percent of all Earth'g
plante will be gone by 2000 if
we continue at this rate.
'\lle have to think beyond the
endangered species. They aro
just flagp of a bigger ploblem."
In order to gave rain foreste,
Jensen eaid, we need to find
ways for people to live in Third
World countries that are con-
sistent with preserving their
GCO6y8t6m8.
"This will require a global
ethic. It won't be eaay, but we

Steinberg said that if a
helipad was not included in the
expaneion plan, the hospital
would not get his votc.
Councilman Merv Lapin saidit wae his understanding that
the hospital would lose the
Doubletree's support and co-
operation ifa helipad were part
of the project.
"They need to fight it out
with the Doubletree, then,"
Steinberg said. He said you
can't have a modem hospital
without a helipad, and thai if it
isn't at the post office or on the
roof it would have to be some-
where else."It is a political problem,"
Steinberg summarized.
Planning consultant Peter
Jamar, representing the own-
ers of the Doubletree, eaid the
Doubletree hae not made itg
cooperation contingent on their
being no helipad at the hospital.
"As far as a helipad ges, that
ie eomething we would have to
look at. It would be news to meif that hae even come up in
digcuseion. I don't necessarily
think we'd be opposed to it," he
said.
The planning commission
has scheduled a work session
with the hospital, bank, and
Doubletree for 12:30 D.m. on
Feb. 2?.
Feeney eaid he is hopeful
that the hospital can gain ap-
proval for the project at this
rneeting.
"It is time we start getting
approvals. We'd like to start
building in May so we can
have the project done by mid-
1990," Feeney said.

The previous day, St. John's

sail over the ocean several bal-
loons asking for prayers. The
event waa part of a celebration
of Catholic rhool week.
"My greatest
wishis thattherebe

-Seppi Kendler
In addition to IGndler's ad-
dreee, the wish card contained
the address of the Vail Valley
Foundation, and mentioned the
circumEtanceg behind the bal-
loon launch. Ttre Foundation
was notified of the diecovery
by Dulfy's 16-year-old eister,
Jennifer. Mia Jaekele, of the
Foundation, paseed the word
on to Dave Schindel, the
teacher at Vail Mountain
School who helped organize
the wish ballmng.
Schindel eaid the balloon
launch was conceived by the
ceremonieg committee t o
correlate with the theme of "A
Night of Dreame."
"Each balloon waa an ox-
preseion of the magical, mysti-
cal quality that kide have when
they &eam," said Schindel.
Describing the lift-off as
"breathtaking," Schindel said
the clump of balloons resem-
bled the Mlky Way as it drift€d
west.
The nice thing about the
launch was that it not only ih-
volved children on an intema-
tional level, "but in g sense, it
represented the child in all of
us," he said.
The wish cards were dis-
tributed to 250 students each in
Crans-Montana and Saalbach
"as a continuity of dreamg be-
tween the Championships" be-
cause Crans-Montana hosted
the last event and Saalbach has
been awarded the next Cham-
pionships, said Schindel.
Du{Ty hopes to become
Kendler'e pen pal, and will
s€nd off a post card and photo
of hirnself in hopes of receiving
the eame from his new Aus-
hian connection.
As far at wiehee go, this one
went pretty far. It would be
nice if it came true.

Wish for world peace
carried on west wind
By WENDY SCEBIIPP
When 14-year-old Christo-
pher Duffy saw a balloon lying
on the ground outside his Cali-
fornia home, he thought it was
one that classmates launched
over the ocean the previous
day.
It wasn t.
Rather than a balloon
beached before sea flight,
DuIIy found a wish for peace
that had been carried on the
wind nearly 1,000 miles in two
days. And it was in German.
During opening ceremoniee
for the World Alpine Ski
Championships in Vail on Jan.
29, those in attendance rvere
handed 6,000 balloone affrxed
with a small toy glow stick and
a card bearing a child'e wieh.
The carde were collected from
children throughout Colorado
ae well a8 in Saalbach, Austriq
and Crans-Montana, Switzer-
land.
The crowd was instructed on
when to let go of the balloons,
and despite several enant lift-
olfs, the collective mass of bal-
loone eailed through the air at
the ceremony's conclugion.
Remarkably, on Jan. 31, one
such balloon made it to Encini-
tas, an ocean-side city 20 miles
north of San Diego. ltre glow
gtick wag etill faintly luminous
when Duffy picked it up and
held it clee to his face. lte at-
tached message, however, was
a little less illuminating at first
because it was written in Ger-
man. lhe note, written by 8-
year-old Seppi Kendler of
Saalbach, said: "mein gttbsster
wunsch ist, das es keiner krieg
mehr gibt."
"Mein srdcsster
wunsch ist, das es
keiner krieg mehr
gibt."
- Seppi Kendler
"I looked at the balloon and
thought someone had put ad-
vertising on it, but I didn't un-
derstand it," Duffy remem-
bered.
A call to a telephone opera-
tor produced some help above
and beyond the call of calls.
One of the operators was able
to looeely translate the
message as:"My greateet wish
ia that there be no more war."
Dutry said Kendler's dresm
"served a purpose and showed
that many people have the
eame &eans."

Befrer answers srrmetimes take longer
When Vail Valley Medical Center first proposed adding a
third floor, many people were aghast.
The problem was not so much the third floor as the
parking structure that was proposed for the west end of
hospital property.
Building a parking structure there would have forever
established West Meadow Drive as a high-traffic street.
Hospital officials were told by the Vail Planning and
Environmental Commission to try and find a way to create
an access directly from South Frontage Road.'Hospital
officials said this would be very expensive and perhaps
impossible.
Monday, just such an access plan was approved by the
planning commission.
We would like to commend the commission for insisting
that the project be done right and for never wavering in itsconviction. We would especially like to thank
commissioners Diana Donovan and Feggy Osterfoss for
taking the point even when it meant also taking the heat.
Hospital officials and the owners of the Doubletree Hotel
and Vail National Bank also deserve praise for banding
together and working to create a solution that should be in
the town's best interest.
Towl planners Peter Patten and Kristan Pritz put in many
hours helping craft a plan that will work. From start tb
finish they stood firm in their vision of what West Meadow
Drive should and should not be.
It's not easy for people in positions such as theirs to takel
strong stands on controversial issues.
INow that tlie hospital and the town's planners have done
their jobs and taken some of the automotive pressure off
West Meadow Drive it is time to take the next step.
The rallying cry all along has been that West Meadowprive should be renovated to become a much more
pleasant pedestrian link between Vail Village and the
library and ice arena.
We urge the Town Council, planning commission, and
planning staff to move quickly toward developing a plan for
this corridor and committing the money to implement the
plan.
The public's attention has been focused on this street for
half a year's worth of hospital debate. Let's keep our
attention focused there until the job is done.
Another issue highlighted by the hospital expansion is
the need for developing a master plan for South Frontage
Road from Cascade Village to Ford Park.
Rather than improving the road in 300-yard segments
every time a new proposal comes along and hoping all the
improvements eventually fit together, let's draw a plan that
works from one end to the other.
In the meantime, our thanks to those who have gotten us
this far.

of Highwaya must iesue the
hospital an accesa permit for
South Frontage Road.
The only other major condi-
tion is that the hospital agree
that before its next expansion it
will relocate its emergency
room and ambulance facility
so that it can be accegsed frqn
the top floor of the parking
structure, which will be built
just west ofVail National Bank
as part of this expansion.
Moving that facilitY would
remove virtually all emergencY
traffic from Weet Meadow
Drive.
Tueeday, state highwaY offi-
cials for the first time visited
the site of the proPosed South
Frontage Road accegs and of-
fered some suggestions for
cbanging the access Plan.
"They weren't totally pleased
with what they saw, but we got
a good feeling for what a
workable solution will be,"
Mayor Kent Rose told the
Town Council on T\esday.
He said the highway de -
partment's suggestions will
lead to a better access plan
without costing any more than
what had been proposed.
Hospital administrator Ray
McMahan agreed with Rose's
assesEment of the meeting.
District highway engineer
Bob Moston on Wednesday
also confirmed Rose's account
of the meeting. He said it was
auggested that an acceleration
lane be added for eaetbound
traffic leaving the hospital.
"It looka like that can be ac-
cornplisbed, and that it would
be a workable solution for ev-
eryone," Mcton sajd. All that is
left ig for the hoepital's engi-
neer to draw euch a plan and
submit it to the highway de-
partment. When that is done,
Moston eaid, the department
would likely approve hoopital
a.@ega.
The requirement that the
hospital move its emergency
end ambulance facilities before
the next expansion ie unen-
forceable said town planning
director Peter Patten.
When planr for any future
erpanaions are preeented to a
future planning commiesion,
that commisBion will not be
bound by the condition. Coun-
cilman Eric A{feldt noted,
however, that the condition ie
on record as a gride for future
decieione.
Council, after learning of the
planning commieaion'e ap-
proval of hoapital expanaion,
decided l\readay to call the ib-
cision up for review next Tues-
day evening, March ?. At that
meeting, council will receive a
preaentation from sta{I and
hospital representativee about
the orpanrion and access plane,
and will review the planning
commission's approval an d
conditions. Ifit chooeee, council
can repeal the approval, add
conditione to the approval, or
remove conditions.
As part of the approval, the
planning commission provided
some advice to the VaiL Town
Council and the Desigrr'Review
Board. To the DRB, the com-
miseion sent instructiom to be
diligent in requiring the moet
poeeible landscaping between
the planned parking rtructure
and South Frontage Road, and
on other parLs of the property.
l'lre planning commiesion
also sent word to council that if
the highway department re-
quires addition ofa fourth lane
to South Frontage Road, the
town should accommodate
that requirement by re de-
veloping its property across the
road from the bank in order to
make roorn for another lane.
The hospital's current re-
quest for an acceas permit, if
approved, would require the
building of a left turn lane for
the accegs to the hospital, bank,
and Doubletree Hotel, and algo
for the town property across
the ghet.
Hoepital expansion will con-
siat primarily of adding a third
floor to the weet wing. A eec-
ond and third floor will also be
added over the. existing north
wing emergency facility. Alto-
gether, 25,000 aquare feet of
space will be added.
The new space will be used
for up to 20 new hospital
roome, four operating rooms, a
radiology room, and o{Iicee.
Much of the new space will be
used by orthopedic surg€on
Dr. Did( Steadman, who is the
oflicial physician of the U.S.
Ski Team and counts many of
the cormtry'a top athleteg as his
patients.
The hospital, in conjunction
with the Doubletree, will aleo
construct a parking garage
that will be accessed directly
of South Frontage Roa4 thus,
removing some hospital trafEc I
from West Meadow flrive. I
The motion to appmve ex- r
paneion was made by Peggy
Osterfo.s afiler impaasioned
speechea by Doubletree repre-
aentativeg Peter Jamar and Jay
Peterson. Her motion waa a€c-
ontled by Jim Viele, who had

"It's also helpful to under-
stand and be aware of bodv
Ianguage, and have an undei-
standing ofhuman nature and
how people react to different
situa.tions," he said. "A good
sense of humor helps, and it's
also important that a judge
keep a humble perspective and
not take himself tm seriously."
Having stayed on the bench
for 10 years, Allen is appar-
ently doing something right."I like Judge Allen," said
Larry Kelly, a loca'l attorney
who has been on both sides of
His Honor's decisions. "He's a
very nice, kind, sincere person
and he brings those attributes
to his job ofjudging. The per-
son you meet on the street is
the same fellow you deal with
in his job as a judge."
He said Allen's warm s.t-
tributes are balanced by a re-
spect of the law "even in this
casual society of Vail.
"On the one hand he's hu-
man, but on the other hand, he
doesn't show up in court in a
Ilawaiian shirt and put, his feet
on the des\" said Kelly.
The attorney recalled a trial
in which he was heatedly ar-
guing a point with prosecutor
Tom Silverman. Allen in no
uncertain terms told the
barristers to stop quibbling and
sit down.
"He doesn't exercise the au-
thority prematurely or inap-
propriately, but he doeen't
hesitate to remind you that he'a
the judge and it'e his court,"
said IGIly.
"He goes out ofhis way to be
such a nice guy that you won-
der how he can handle author-ity so well. It's a hard deal,
wouldn't you think?" Kelly
added. "He does it well."
Allen said the more he judges
and the more he draws frompast experiences, the more
comfortable the job becomes.
"It's not ever automatic, be-
cause you're dealing with an
individual. But everything you
are dealing with fits on a con-
tinuum and it's just a matter of,
once you've reached a decigion
on a case, placing it on a con-
tinuum of cases you've dealt
with," he said.
He eaid every case is unique
and probably affects him a lit-
tle bit because "whenever you
listen to something carefully,
it's going to have some impact."
Allen is not one to make a
ruling and be done with it.
"It's not like me to leave a de-
cision in a courtroom," he said.
"I think about it and play it over
in my mind."
While he said it's possible ro
look back through the eyes of
experience and see how he
would have done things differ-
ently in some instances, he has
made no decisions that he has
regretted.
His job is to listen and treat
each person that cornes
through the court "with respect
and dignity - that's really im-
portant.
_ "You can have a person go
through the system- and frn-d
them guilty, yet they still marn-
tain their digrrity," Allen said.''At the same time. you impress
upon them that they

tinue the behavior that got

place."

however.
Allen has that infamous"authority vested in him" mjoin couples in marriage. And
he wedlocks quite a few, asmany as 80 per year. On
Valentine's Day, he performed
f,our^ weddings. Lasr week, he
dld Dve-
Three weddings of past
years are especially memo-
rable.
An outstanding skier, he
once petformed a ceremony
while skiing backwards as th!
bride and groom skied down
the slopes of Beaver Creek. Tne
bride wore a distinctive ski suit
and the groom was resplendentin a yellow Spyder downhill
racing suit with black curn-
merbund and bow tie.
Allen frequently performs
ceremonies on Vail Mountai n
with Sno<atg as wedding car-
riages. One year ago, he was
set to do such an event when
the Sno<at used for toure of
Chine Bowl broke down. When
the Vail Associates packing
crew found out about the
dilemma, they came to the res-
cue in five packing cats.
"They took them to the top of
the mountain for the wedding,
brought the couple down, and
then went back to work," gaid
Allen
Last summer, recalled Allen,a wedding at the Vail Golf
Course wag crashed when "a
black bear came down to greet
the bride and groom when they
were ready to leave."
The bear sniffed at the
guests, licked the groom's
hand, and loped off.
"The nice thing about doing a
wedding is that it gives an op-
portunity to work with people
at a real positive point in their
lives," said Allen. "Doing wed-
dings balances out a lot of neg-
atives that come with the job."
Asked if he feels pressure to
be an exemplary citizen, Allen
said: "Working in a small town
where everyone knowe you,
there are advantages because
people do know you, but there
are also costs. They expect you
to embody the laws."
And the judge ig comfortable
with that."I don't think there's any-
thing worse that eomeone who
is hypocritical," he eaid. "It's
important to have consistency
in what I say in court and what
I do.
"My personality is not one of
being real wild and crazy. I'm alittle low key," said Allen,
adding, "I'm real comfortable
in what I'm doing and where f
am,"

Larry Eekwith he had decided
he did not have a legal conllict.
Voting against approval
were Diana Donovan and new
commi esioner Kathy Warren.
Commi ssioner Sid Schultz ab-
gtained from voting, citing a
conflict of interest. He is the
architect for Vail National
Bank.
Warren said she thought the
hospital, bank, and hotel should
develop a more unified plan for
all three properties ag one."I
would feel more comfortgble
with that area if it came to-
Sether better."
Warren and Osterfoss both
expressed eome ekepticism as
to whether the lI?-car parking
structure will really decrease
traffrc on West Meadow Drive.
They made the point that a
larger hoepital will generate
more traffic.
The parking struchrre will be
used primarily by hospital em-
ployees and doctore' patients.
Warren made the point that
employees generally leave
their cars parked their entire
ehilL and hence cause less traf-
fic. than hmpital visitore.
McMahan, however, eaid
parking spac€s used by doc-
tore' patients turn over as
many ar seven or eight times a
day.
Donovan said tremendous
progress has been made on the
propoaal since the commiesion
ffrst gaw it last fall, but that th€
plana still are not good enough.
"The fact that this would be
bettcr than what we have now
isn't enorgh," she saiil
She 68id the hospital must
etabligh a tim€ by which all
ho€pital haffc will be rqmoved
from West Meadow llriib..
One complaint about the
pmject shared by all or nost of
the commiesidlerr was that the
parking structure should be
physically connected to tbe
ban}.. As the plan now gtandg
there will be a narrow drive
betwen the two pmpertios.
New commisaioner Chuck
Crist even suggristid that et
Eom€ point the bank building
might be converted to doctorE'
o,fficee.
Commi eeion Chairman Viele
commended the hospital for
doing a good job. "This is a
subetantial improvement orrer
what we have today," he saiil
He criticized the town for not
having developed a plan for its
property on the north side of
South Frontage Road. High-
way officials have also esked
for such a plan.
f,rith regard to converting
Weat Meadow Drive to a more
pleasant pedestrian way, he
said the towr\ not the hoapital,
neda to take the lead.
Viele eaid the hoepital plen is
not perfect, but that Dot ap-
proving it could gend the
wttng moEsag€ to the highway
&parfonenL
Peter Jamar, a planning
conrultant reprerenting the
Doublehee, said that wh€n th€
hcpital unveiled ite original
plan, which included a parking
stnrcture acceEsed off Weet
ilea&iw Drive, he thought tbe
hotel would likely end up op-
po.eil to th€ prqiect
IIe rlid Setting to the point
where the hoopital, ban\ and
Doubletree are hand in hand*
is a rnajrx achievement.
Jamar said there are some
issues lef[ to be reeolved but
that thosc issueg can be r€-
golved ab the DRB level. In re-
. sponse to complaints that theproject does not include
enough lari&caping, he said it
will include more landscaping
than is there now.
IIe agreed that the hospital
has a much greater mass than
is normal in residential areas,
but said it is cuetomary forpublic buildinge such as
schools, hospitals, and
churches to be located in regi-
dential areas even though they
are often quite large.
"It will be very unfortunate if
the-whole thing falls apart be-
ceuse of details and we end up
doing battle with our neigh-
hirs,"Jamarsaid.
Attorney Jay Peterson, also
representing the Doubletree,
eaid that a third floor is alnoet
certainly golng to be added to
t}e hospital no matter what ac-
tion the planning commission
took.
He said that if the plan to
create an access from South
Frontage Road fell apart, the
hospital would build a struc-
ture oIT West Meadow Drive
and any chance of ever turning
that corridor into a pedestrian
way would be gone.
'You are forcing them to go
back to their original plan," Pe-
terson said, thinking the corn-
rniesion was about to deny ap-
prcval.
He said the plan being pro
pooed by the three propertiee
was not as good ae starting
from ecratch, but that it wag a
lot better than the alternatives."Ttaflic will get worse on
Meadow Ilrive if this is not ap
proved," he eaid."It is ready for approval.
They deeerve to go forward,"
he gaid.
When Jamar and Petereon
finished their speeches, Oster-
tive vote from the commission.
She eaid the commiEeion
ehould insist the project be as
good as it can be before it is ap.
proved.
She noted that even if the
comrnission denied approval,
the council would overturn the
decision. "The council has
made it clear that no matter
what we do, this will get their
approval," she said-
Peterson said that what the
council does is irrelevant. He
also eaid the council would

Pullin'a big one
Three Sweet Basil enployees pull€d a bb one Monday rnorning, by staging what would have
been a record catch in Vail Valley history, for the benefit of passing dis-believers. The fish an
l8-pound salrnon, was lhe center ot attention as Mike Greenstein, left, Russell Brezee, center,
and Graydon Silver pretended to be pullirq the big one trom the shallow walers of the icy Gore
Creek, complele wilh a lrying pan waiiing al the ready. The baitl lhey claimed, was a shrimp-
pesto crepe ftom the reslaurant, but was nore likely a bill of lading from lhe rnoming's seafood
delivery truck.

During a wort session last
Tuesdan VVMC oflicials, Town of
Vail oflicials and represcn tativcs
from the Highway Depanmort
reachcd a tentative agr@ment to
cons!ruct a c4ntcr, left+urning lane
on he South Frontagc Road fmm
thc Doublctrce to the Bank - at
thc hospital's expcnsc. Further, the
mcdical ccntcr has agrecd to con-
stnrct a fourth accelcration lane on
the south side of the South Fron-
uge Road from fte proposed
entrance of the new parking struc-
ture, east to tlp Bank. The High-
way Dcpanment's official approval
could come as s@n as three wceks,
acccding !o Dan Feeney, rhe
VVMC projcct manager. Thcrc arc
no furthcr mectings planned bc-
tr.:cen the two groups.
"l would €xpcct fiat we would

Monday. "l rcally don't expoct any
surprises,"
This evening, the Cormcil will be
updatcd on the plans for thc cxpan-
sion. Although mcmbcrs have
rcccived bits and pieces of informa-
tion about the project, thc Council
has yet to hear a formal presenu-
tion from hospiml officials. Fccney
said $at his presentation will take
approximately l0 minutes. fie
to{al lengrh of the prcsentation will
depcnd on the lcngth and number
of questions fiom thc Council and
cornmunity. Modcls of thc cxpan-
sion will also bc on hand.If the Council and Highway

thc next step would bc for the

The primary rcason for the
Foposed expansior is to accorn-
modate Dr. Richard Steadman, the
primary orthopedic surgeon of the
U.S. SkirTeam.
It is the hope of hospitral officials
that Steadman would bring needcd
business to the Vail Valley as he
and his colleague sce ap-
proximatcly 600 patients a year.
The hospital has not reached an
agreemcnt with Steadman, but
negotiations are continuing.

State tax examiner to host seminar
today at Vail Municipal Building
Ddt Sutrko.r
Taxday.April 17,1989.fa sine it means the hs weekend of the ski
seasm or a gmd day to organirc dre golf bag.
But ffi tax 6ling procrastinaors it will mean a
franth, gasping, fingemail chewing search for
receipts and pmper forms as he a she tries lo rneet
the ominous midnight deadline.
But not this )ear.
Bruce Kolisek, a tax examiner with the Colorado
Depanment of Rwenue, will be at the Vail Municipal
Building frorn 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today !o answer any
qucstions you may have about income tax and salcs
tax. He will bc working ou! of the lown's administra-
tion ollicec wherc you can meet with him in pcrson
or you can call him at 479-2115. His services arc free
and rD amointment is rrcccssary.
'This is part of the rrcw tax payers servicc prograrn
0ut the depanment is running," Kolisck said Mon-
day. 'Basically wc pcrfonn the samc i$ thar wc
normally do but in diffcrsnt ar€as."
Kolisck, wfio wor*s out of Glcnwood Springs, said
depcnding oo thc response, he may stat coming ro
Vail as often as once a month.
He saftl that anyone with a question, no maner how .
seerningly insignificant, should call. The qrcsrion
doesn't matler, he said, only the answer does.
He said thar his missbn, if he could nanow it
down to orrc, would be to recducate people !o use dre
short form most of thc time. Colorado had a requir+
mcnt whcre if a pcrson liled a long form with their
state tax that thcy had to file 6e same for their fcdcral
tax. That, he said; is no longer required.
Another area 0ut few pcople seem to undcrstand is
tar. filing extensions,
"If you are due a refund, you do not necd o flc an
extension," he said. 'The extcnsion is for anyone
who nceds morc time lilling out complicated paper
work, but if thcy owe money, ricy srill need to msil it
out by the deadline."
If you are not able to call or see Kolisck today, you
can call him at l-945-1222 or l-Z\l-ffi2 or wrirc ro
him ar the following ad&css: Surc of Colondo,

signilicant changc that could bring

pcrson, thc dcduction is 53,000; for
a hcad of houschold, $4,400; for a
marricd pcrson filing a separarc
rcturn, $2,500. In cach casc, a grcr-
son ovcr 65 or blind gcts a highcr
dcduction; for examplc, a marricd
couplc ovcr 65 with onc sJnusc

$6,800. A pcrson who can bc
claimcd as a dcpcndcnt is allo*cd
sincc thcy still detcrminc how
much thcy owe by looking at a tax

he new law, most pcople will pay a
smallcr pan of thcir taxablc income
to the govcmmcnt - although
morc of thcir incomc may be tax-
ablc.
MORTCAGE INTEREST: A
