STATEMENT OF PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Overall Mission Statement
To produce an implementable cemetery master plan
that serves the varied needs of the greater Vail community
now and into the future
that complements our natural surroundings
and that engenders community pride and involvement
Guiding Princiules
1 That the cemetery plan shall be communitydriven
The citizens of the Upper Eagle Valley should be involved not only in the design of the plan but also in the
development of the cemetery and in its ongoing maintenance
2 That the cemetery plan shall be environmentally sound
Environmental factors such as water resources and geological constraints must be respected in the design and
operation of the cemetery
3 That the aesthetic character of the cemetery shall complement its natural surroundings
The cemetery should appear as natural as possible in the landscape and have a low visual impact on the
neighborhood
4 That an opportunity exists to use the cemetery to strengthen the sense of community and the publics
awareness of the areasnatural and cultural history
5 That the products submitted be implementable and provide a model methodology for public involvement
in other townsponsored projects
Tasks of the Consulting Team
1 To design the cemetery to develop concepts for its physical layout and aesthetic character that meet the needs
and expectations of the valleys population that blend with the natural site and that assure proper functioning from
the initial stage of development
2 To develop a workable management plan to recommend an operating scenario that takes best advantage of
existing public f nancial and human resources
3 To produce a total master plan package to demonstrate that the proposal responds to community needs and
is a product of a thorough public process to provide a permanent record of the design rationale and to specify how
it should be implemented funded and phasedS Products
1 Master Plan a conceptual design in graphic and written form for the cemeteryslayout composition and
character
2 Management Plan written recommendations for the cemeterysorganizational and managerial structure and a
plan for its initial and ongoing rion
3 Implementation Plan an outline of costs by recommended development phases financing mechanisms and steps
required for implementation including art pal by the public

1 INTRODUCTION
A PURPOSE OF THE PROTECT
A consulting team of three firms was hired by the Vail Town Council on September 15 1992 to conduct a
management study and to develop a master plan for a Town of Vail cemetery to be located on the upper bench of
Donovan Park This site had earlier been identified as the best location for the cemetery after evaluation of 18
possibilities within the Town limits see Appendix J site selection study 1990
The purpose of the management study conducted by the LFSloane Consulting Group a New Yorkbased specialist
in cemetery management andQationswas 1 to assess community needs for burial spaces based oncurrentand
anticipated demographic characteristics 2 to recommend to the Council the most viable management entity to
operate the cemetery 3 to project operating costs and recommend funding mechanisms and 4 to outline an
operating methodology and recommend steps for its implementation
The physical master plan was developed by Alpine International a landscape architecture firm in Vail in
conjunction with Harley Ellington Pierce Yee a Southfield Michigan architecture and planning firm specializing
in cemetery design The purpose of the master plan was 1 to develop a design program for the cemetery
including functional elements and burial options 2 to propose and test alternatives for the location of the cemetery
within the site and to develop general guidelines for its overall design character based on public input
neighborhood concerns and site conditions 3 to suggest a phasing plan that would match site capacity with an
apyiriatemixofburial inventory over the long term and 4 to estimate initial capital costs for construction
B METHODOLOGY THE PLANNINGDESIGN PROCESS
The project was approached in several sequential steps
1 Preliminary Investigation
During the first phase of work initial contacts were made with interested community groups and neighborhoods
and work sessions were held with Town staff the Cemetery Task Force and the Eagle Gore Cemetery District
commissioners Also site conditions were inventoried demographic patterns in the Valley assessed and a
geological reconnaissance commissioned In its first work session with the Vail Town Council October 6 1992
the consulting team discussed the range of management options and reaffirmed the Councilspreference for thetDonovanParksite
2 Conceptual Planning
The second or conceptual phase of work began with a community workshop on October 27 1992 At this halfy
meeting and in intensive work sessions during the following two days the consulting team and Town staff reviewed
site constraints and program alternatives heard neighborhood concerns reviewed and evaluated management options
assessed their implications for physical layout and cemetery capacity and developed several conceptual site plan
alternatives
1 These conceptual alternatives were reviewed at another public work session on October 28 1992 and a preferred
layout was identified which was then refined by the design team and presented to community groups the Cemetery
Task Force and Town boards

2 Conceptual Planning coned
During the same period other mountain communities and Denverarea cemeteries were contacted for more
information on operational policies pricing management structure requests for space from outoftownersand
methods for accommodating wintertime burials See Appendix K for detailed responses
3 Master Plan
The third phase of the work program was the refinement of a physical master plan and a set of management
recommendations for review and approval by Town Council DRB and PEC This report summarizes the design
elements of the master plan and the conclusions of the management consultant
Also in this phase of work meetings were held by planners and Cemetery District Commissioners with Eagle
County and Town of Vail officials and staff to consider a variety of options for funding the cemeterysdevelopment
On August 30 1993 the Vail Town Council reviewed the development budget outlined in Section VI and endorsed
a plan to place a mill levy assessment proposal on the November 2 1993 tax election ballot required by state
Amendment 1 The following week the Eagle County Commissioners passed a resolution to include the item on
the county ballot
t C COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND PUBLIC INPUT
Community input particularly from adjacent neighborhoods has been actively solicited throughout the planning
process In addtion to the initial community workshop that launched the conceptual design phase there have been
numerous public hearings and meetings with neighbors and task force members These meetings and their outcomes
are briefly outlined below A list of public comments and concerns and letters received during the current cemetery
work is included in Appendix B and minutes of Cemetery Task Force Meetings is included in Appendix C
February 11 1992 Vail Town Council decided that land purchased with Rzi i funds could be used for a
cemetery
October 6 1992 Vail Town Council work session reaffirmed site selection and discussed management
options
October 2728 1992 A public workshop discussed site constraints neighborhood concerns and conceptual
design alternatives
November 5 1992 Cemetery Task Force reviewed and endorsed the preferred conceptual site plan
November 10 1992 Vail Religious Foundation endorsed the site plan and noted that even as the preference
for cremation is growing inground burial must remain an option given certain religious
groups beliefs and burial practices
November 30 1992 The Cemetery Task Force met with Larry Sloane to discuss in detail the various
alternatives for managing the new cemetery 3t was generally agreed that management
by the existing Cemetery District was the most attractive option
December 3 1992 A site walk wasconducted with neighbors in the vicinity of the cemetery site to illustrate
in the field where the primary elements will be located Neighbors ssed general
relief that the siting and conceptual layout would have less visual impact on their
rresthan they anticipated

December 1415 1992 A joint work session of the Design Review Board DRB and the Planning and
Environmental Commission PEC was held followed by a Town Council work session
to review the conceptual plan In each of these sessions the plan was well received
with the proviso that there be heavy screening from neighborhoods and that grave
headstones be low and unobtrusive
March 10 1993 The Cemetery Task Forcemet to discuss refinements in the management plan and
development of a policy on residency requirements Comments on the physical design
continued to be very positive
March 31 1993 The Cemetery Task Force recommended adoption of a residency requirement that would
offer inground and crypt burial only to past and present residents of the Upper Eagle
Valley see full text of resolution in Appendix C and would establish a threetiered
pricing structure for all other burial options cremation niches and other memorials
May 10 1993 At a second PEC work session there was general consensus to approve requests for a
conditional use permit and a paving variance to allow a gravel access road The master
plan and management report were also informally endorsed
August 6 1993 Meeting with the Cemetery District Commissioners to discuss funding options
August 31 1993 Presentation to Vail Town Council by staff consultants and Cemetery District
Commissioners regarding the fall ballot issue Vail Town Council unanimously
supported the project and the proposal to put the issue on the fall ballot using the cost
estimates presented
September 7 1993 Eagle County Commissioners pass a resolution putting the proposal on the ballot
September 27 1993 PECapproved conditional use and paving variances
November 8 1993 PEC recommends aFal of Master Plan

II SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A MANAGEMENT
The management consultant has concluded that legal and capital formation issues make operation by the Eagle Gore
Cemetery District the best option for management of a cemetery in the Town of Vail Ttie Sloane report is
summarized in Section III and included in full as Appendix D The advantages of this ach are that the
District has taxing power to provide capital funding it is already wing the cemetery in Minturn and both the
District and the County endorse the approach Prior to development of the cemetery a management contract
between the Town of Vail and the Cemetery District must be concluded to outline longterm land use and operating
policies funding mechanisms and pricing policies and design guidelines The Town of Vail not the District would
retain title to the cemetery property
The Eagle Gore Cemetery District was formed in 1947 as the Minturn Cemetery District see documents Appendix
O It is governed by three cemetery district commissioners appointed by the Eagle County Commissioners for
terms of from two to six years Renamed in 1992 to reflect the commissioners desire to serve the entire upper
Eagle Valley it is one of two cemetery districts in Eagle County Its boundaries were drawntocoincide with those
of Eagle County School District l1 which no longer exists Fig 1 As drawn the district encompasses the entire
town of Vail and portions of the town of Minturn and the community of EagleVail The town of Avon is within
the Eagle Cemetery District not the Eagle Gore Cemetery District
B OPERATIONAL POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
1 Resideney Requirements
The Cemetery Task Force has recommended that inground burial plots crypts and entombments shall only
be sold to those who have resided or owned property in the Upper Eagle Valley for a minimum of three
years their relatives and individuals who die here without other burial options Niches for cremation
remains and other types of memorials may be sold to anyone without residency requirements Appendix C
2Pricing
The Task force has recommended a threetiered pricing structure applying to indistrictresidents other
Upper Eagle Valley residents living outside the district boundaries and nonresidents who wish to be
buried in Vail Fee schedules are to be established by the Cemetery District Commissioners Appendix Q
The Task Force recommended that outside the district boundaries would include residents from Wolcott
to Vail and Mintuin to Redcliff At a later Task Force meeting on September 29 1993 it was suggested
that this tier could be more easily defined as the residents within Eagle County This definition may be
refined by the Cemetery District and the Town of Vail after the management agreement is finalized
3 Sales
All sales are to be made on an asneeded basis and only two spaces may be sold to any one individual
4 Endowment Fund
An endowment fund is to be established for the future expansion and improvement of the two cemeteries
Not less than 25 of the revenues from the sales of lots crypts niches and cenotaphs is to be set aside
for the fund In addition an annual maintenance fee is recommended to be assessed on all unused spaces
5 OperationsTheDistrict and the Town shall mutually establish policies relating to hours and days of activity record
keeping conditions of purchase of burial spaces and other operational questions
6 Name for the Cemetery
The District and the Town in counsel with the Vail Religious Foundation and the Donovan Family shall
agree on anamefor the cemetery The park shall continue to be called Donovan Park and the Donovan
family has requested that the cemetery include the family name Until further discussions are held the site
shall be referred to as the Vail Cemetery at Donovan Park
VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN

C DESIGNGUIDELINES
1 Siting and Layout
The preferred design concept places the cemetery in and near the tree line at the upper edge of the meadow
on the upper bench to minimize its visual impact Crypts and niches will be contained in retaining walls
that ascend into the trees while burial plots will be agedon flatter ground below the tree line and along
the entry road The entry road will be a visually unobtrusive gravel track with a turnaroundat its
end and yLng when needed on a reinforced grassy shoulder Stone steps and ramped walking paths
will make memarial and burial areas accessible to all The estimated 100year buildout of the cemetery
will use approximately 2 acres Donovan ParksL bench measures 39 acres and the meadow area
is arldmately 95 acres Development outside this area is not anticipated and the master plan shows
the remaining area of the upper bench as Tark Open Space An amendment to the master plan would be
required in order to pwA the cemetery onto the Park Open Space area
2 Mix of Inventory
Demographic statistics indicate that the local population is more homogeneous better educated higher in
income and has fewer children and elderly than the averages for the state and the country as a whole
This suggests a lower local mortality rate a greater tendency to choose cremation over burial and alower
inclinadonto purchase cemetery spaces in advance of need While the master plan offers a full mix of
burial options the number of inground burial sites is more limited in quantity than would be the case in
a traditional cemetery
3 Design Character
The design concept for the cemetery emphasizes natural forms and stone as the primary material To
minimize the visibility of the cemetery there are to be no buildings and no night Jighting on the site and
extensive tree planting will be undertaken to sritfrom the adjacent neighborhoods Burial markers
limited in size and form are to be natural boulders with applied or engraved inscriptions See Section
IVR for more detail on design guidelines
V D PHASING AND INITIAL CAPITAL COSTS
Development costs for the initial phase of cemetery construction not including contingencies design or engineering
are estimated at approximately 470000 See Section VI for a summary cost breakdown and Appendix F for a
complete cost estimate The initial phase of development includes many elements suchas overlot grading utility
work the entry road and gateway monuments and landscape screening that will not recur in subsequent phases
Inventory initially developed for this phase is expected to satisfy the need for burial spaces in the first 1015 year
period
E IMPLEMENTATION
Immediate steps are to prepare a ballot proposalfor the November 1993 Amendment 1 tax election to proceed
with detailed design and engineering of the cemetery and to conclude a management agreement between the Town
of Vail and the Eagle Gore Cemetery District Additional recommendations for action are listed in Section VII

III SUMMARY OF mj MANAGEMENT REPORT
j A management study was conducted by Larry Sloane a New York State consultant to the funeral industry lies conclusions
are based on census data meetings with Town of Vail and Cemetery District officials interviews with local funeral homes
religious leaders the Town of Vail attorney and the TownsFinance Director and input from the Cemetery Task Force
Summarized below the full Sloane is included as Appendix D
A DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EAGLE VALLEY AREA
Census records from 1990 indicate that the r lation of Eagle County is 17998 growing at just over 3
per year In the upper eastern portion of Eagle County in particular the r r lation is dominated by baby boomers
in the 18 to 44 age group 58A and averages fewer children smaller families and households significantly fewer
older residents only 41crd with 128nationwide and higher income and education levels than the state
or the nation as a whole The 1990 Census counted Vairs permanent population at 3716
The Countysmortality rate is a very low 37 per 1000 population per year about half the rate for Colorado as a
whole In 1992 49 residents of Eagle County died Data on Vail resident deaths specifically and where they are
buried is not available
This demographic profile has several implications for the capacity and character of the new cemetery in Vail Fust
the number of burials at least in the initial phase is expected to be quite low perhaps as few as two or three per
year Second higher income and education levels late with a higher than average tendency to choose cation
rather than burial This trend will likely increase thus probably extending the active life of the new cemetery by
reducing the amount of land consumed by burial plots Third the inclination to purchase cemetery space in advance
of need is unusual in psunder 45 Finally with more varied and nontraditional family situations there is a
growing demand for individualized choices and a trend away from family plots
Certain factors vlicate the projection of need for cemetery space in Vail On the one hand it is unclear how
many among Vairs youngerpopulation will choose to make Vail a ranenthome and eventually to be buried
here On the other hand an increasing number of middleaged and early retired people are purchasing pantime
homes in the Vail area with the intention of malting it a anent home in the future This trend could increase
the demand for cemetery space
Although it is difficult to make any firm projections from these statistics about the future need for cemetery space
some tentative conclusions can be drawn Firstly given the low mortality rates the capacity of the Lyr p bench
site is far beyond the probable level of need over the next 50 to 100 years Therefore the actual area needed for
a cemetery is a small portion of the total area Secondly a nonconventional cemeterywith less space dedicated
to inground burial and more to cremation remains conforms to trends associated with Vails younger move highly
educated population Thirdly because accurate projections of population growth and cemetery usage are not
possible the cemetery should be designed so that the inventory of spaces can be developed in smaller phases that
respond to the demand and range of options needed by the evolving local population

B MANAGEMENT ALTERNATIVES
The advantages and disadvantages of four alternative ownership andor management possibilities were studied the
Town of Vail a notforprofitorganization a private forprofit and the Cemetery District or other special
district The criteria against which each one was rated included 1 access to aof capital to implement phase
one of the cemetery development 2 staffing that would be available to satisfy r ng needs 3 theilikelihoodthatmanagementwillhavealongtermcommitmenttooperatingthecemeteryandalongtermability
to continue to support it financially 4 the amount of c1that the Town of Vail would be able to exercise over
land use design character and operational issues and 5 other legal limitations or issues Table 1 summarizes the
evaluation of each management option on the basis of these five issues

Table 1 Evaluation of Management Alternatives Sloane Report
The study concluded that the best alternative is to contract with the Eagle Gore Cemetery District known until
1992 as the Mintum Cemetery District to operate the cemetery Advantages of this vvach are several Perhaps
most important the District has taxing power through a special mill levy to provide the needed capital funding for
the initial phase of development Also as there is already a functioning Cemetery District Commission which
operates the Riverview Cemetery in Mi cost savings may be possible with asingle management entity The
County has endorsed this option and the three cemetery district commissioners of whom two are presently from
Vail are amenable
The Town of Vail is already funding the Cemetery District through a mill levy and although Vail residents will
incur the additional expense of a special onetimemill levy assessment to finance both the cemeterysconstruction
and an expansion of the Minturn cemetery this funding source will be of more direct benefit to the Towns
taxpayers if the District were also ysible for the new Vail cemetery Such an assessment will require an
affirmative vote by taxpayers as a result of Amendment 1
I To assure the effectiveness of this the Town of Vail will need to reach agreement with the Cemetery
District on professionalization of services design guidelines and operating policies before proceeding with
construction A management contract between the two entities would ensure that the Town retains title to the landjandthattheDistrictnottheTownwouldprovideLpatingfundsthroughanannualmilllevyThecontractwould
also establish an endowment fund for f cemeteryconstruction with monies coming from sales revenues give
district commissioners the power to set fee schedules per the Towns management afent and give both the
District and the Town a role in establishing other policies The District should agree to develop the Vail
cemetery in accordance with the site master plan as vved by the Vail Town Council

C PRICING
The retail prices suggested in Table 2 reflect the threetieredpricing structure recommended by the Cemetery Task
Force see ArdixQ Those who have been residents of the Cemetery District for at least three consecutive
years pay the lowest fees while U Eagle Valley residents pay slightly higher fees and nonresidents pay the
highest fees The recommended prices are higher than in other mountain towns see A wdix K In response to
the Task Forces desire to limitthe likelihood that nonresidents will choose the Vail cemetery prices for burial
spaces have also been set higher than pricesfor ryssbleservices in the Denver rnIitan area Annual
increases in these priceswould be set by the Cemetery District Commission and could be tied to increases inr the

D FISCAL ISSUES
Fiscal considerations are first the cost ofcapital development and the source of funds for construction and second
the costs of annual operations and the means to cover them The estimated cost to develop the initial phase of the
cemetery is based on the design character and the types of burial inventory described in the cond master plan
in Section IV development costs and the means to fund them are discussed in Section VI
Annual operating costs and revenues for the Vail cemetery alone estimated by the management consultant
based in part on the type of inventory and the lowmaintenance character of the used cemetery as well as the
suggested pricing stru and projected sales of spaces sales for the first five years are 2 to 3 burial
plots 2 to 3 crypts and 5 to 6 niches per year for an average of 15 units per year and a total of45 to 50 spaces
sold but not necessarily used in the fiveyear period In addition to revenues from these sales in the first five
years there would also be fees for inons entombments inurnments and other memorializations when spaces
are used or remainsscattered in the cemetery Based on these sales and use projections annual operating income
in the fust five years would be in the range of 20000 to 22000 per year using only the lowest tier of the pricing
structure or 106000 for the fiveyear period
The Sloane report assumed a contribution to an endowment fund equal to 25 of the sales of plots crypts and
niches to be used for perpetual care of the facility After that contribution net opag revenues would still
exceed vFating esesby almost 40000 after the first five years of operation Table 3 The cumulative
surplus would be adequate to cover the cost of developing additional burial inventory lots crypts and niches in
later phases All needed infrastructure will have been developed in the initial phase future capital expenditures will
be required only for additional burial spaces

Typically an enventfund such as the Sloane has recommended is set aside as a perpetual care or
maintenance fund while the surplus referred to above accumulates to cover futurecapitalimments However
Amendment 1 allows the establishment of separate funds only for f mion not for longterm maintenance
Consequently County officials have mended that glll fees sales and services be held in the endowment
fund to expansion and that an ongoing mill levy assessment be used to cover annual operating
expenses for Eagle Gore Cemetery District Combined annual operating costs for the District am outlined in

IV a rill CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PLAN
A DESCRrONOF i nii i A
The site selected by the Vail Town Council for the municipal cemeteryis a ronofthe Donovan Park site known
as the Upper Bench The Donovan Park site measures Jy 51 acres Of these 12 acres are
located on the lower bench and 39 are on the upp bench The land was Vased by the Town in 1980 using
Real Estate Transfer Tax knrzi ifunds which are adwd for the purchase of open space At the time of its
purchase it was designated by Council Resolution as John F Donovan Park The upper bench is zoned Agricultural
and Open Space By a 1988 Council ordinance cemeteries were added as a conditional use Cemeteries were
further defined by Council as a form of op space consistent with r zi i policies in an executive session on
February 11 1992
Only about 2 acres of the total 39 acre Lbench will be needed for the cemeterysburial and memorial spaces
Adjacent land uses are predominantly residential singlefamily with several small lodges in the area north of the
site The site is flanked to the west and south by the Matterhorn neighborhood and to the east by the Glen Lyon
neighborhood Uphill to the southeast the rrshares a boundary with the White River NationalForest A
single unpaved town road Matterhorn Drive crosses the upper bench below the cemetery site
1 A master plan for Donovan Park completed in 1985 by THK Associates Denver located the most intensive
recreational development on the lower bench and retained the upper bench largely in a natural state for passive
recreational uses such as hiking and sledding Both the park master plan and the Vail Land Use Plan completed
a year later indicated a potential cemetery site on the upper bench See the vicinity map Fig 21

B DESIGNDETERMININGFACTORS
1 Site Analysis Physical Conditions and Constraints
The upper bench cemetery site is an undeveloped parcel of vacant land The highest part of the is a
hillside that slopes steeply to grades as high as 45 and is covered with a dense forest of aspen mixed with someilargerpinesThereisadistinctlowertreelinebelowwhichgradesaremoregentleTheopenmeadowbelowthe
forest once an agricultural field is now vegetated in grasses wildflowers and weeds See site photographs figs
36and diagram Fig 7 An abandoned irrigation ditch traverses the meadow from the nonheasttothe southwest
The land just above and below the unpaved road is the only part of the property with slope gradients under 10
Geologically the site is a valley side bench that parallels Gore Creek the channel of which is considerably below
parcel The bench was formed by three coalescing debris fans a terrace1thelowestpartofthecemetery
and colluvial material falling from slopes above the site While the debris fans are not considered a haadto the
cemetery development see Appendix H design must take into account the moderate to heavy surface drainage
from slopes above the site
Soils are dense and deep on the flatter portions and are interspersed with numerous boulders Siltyand granular
they are generally favorable for the excavation and grading rrosed
Because the site is on a northerly facing slope snow accumulation is typically heavy but there is no evidence of
avalanche hazard
2 Visual Analysis Aesthetic Opportunities
The meadow is a landscape feature of great integrity and is highly visible not only from neighboring rparties but
also from a distance Designers and residents felt the plan should honor the meadow rather than consume it
Landforms other than the steeper slopes above the site are relatively subtle The spaces between the debris fans
read as small sheltered on their uphill side by the forest At the western end of the site one such hollow
offers superb views back to the town which became a key motive in siting the cemetery In the proposed
conceptual grading plan the fans themselves are to be exaggerated slightly to become landform motifs and screens
between the cemetery andneighbors to the west
The lower tree line provides the other primary aesthetic influence on the site There is a magnetism in that edge
which tends to attract and organize design elements on the site The tree line also frames and controls views into
the site from the east and west ends
The greatest diversity of landform and vegetation on the site converges in a small zone that extends from the
meadow edge to higher elevations within the forest On Fig 7 this area is labelled special f4environment
and is outlined with a dashed line The cross section in Fig 9 illustrates its diversity In this space mature
conifers aremixed with aspen and a prominent bank creates a small draw leading uphill Planners chose this
location for the cemetery site because it can be partially screened from view and because it offers the greatest
opportunity for diverse and memorable human experience It also offers some potential for singmeditative
spaces along the upper pathways from the noise of the interstate

The Vail cemetery is planned as a meditative and meaningful series of spaces at and above the forest edge see

turns off Matterhorn Drive at its low point just west of the curve Entry features there and at the arrival pointbeyondwillpunctuateasequenceofencesdesignedtoleadvisitorsintoanareawithgspiritualcharacter
The entry road though only gravel tracks through native grasses will be stabilized so cars in a funeral ge can
park off to the side see Fig 11 and 12 The road can be plowed in winter on an asneeded basis
The cemetery will offer a full range of burial alternatives in6 d burial aboveground crypts niches andscatteringgroundsforationandavarietyofbilitiesformemorializingthoseburiedelsewhereSeeFigs818Thisvarietywillfacilitatewintertimeburials

VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN

C THE MASTER PLAN contd
Maintenance requirements will be minimized by the selection of durable stone as a design motif in walls and
pavements and by the exclusive use of native plant materials Suggested paving materials are random flagstone on
sand in meditation areas and near crypt walls and crushed granite or gravel pathways elsewhere adequately
compacted to allow wheelchair access Railings and gateways are to be handwrought iron Steps will be large
flagstone slabs laid informally The only substantial landscaping anticipated other than grass seeding is the
reforestation of buffer zones at the east and west ends to s neighbors Overall the character of the cemetery
will be overwhelmingly organic indigenous and quietly beautiful
It is also anticipated that the cemetery pathways and spaces will provide some limited krmities for quiet
recreation and that memorial markers together will provide a social and natural history of the Gore Valley
community that may be of interest to visitors

2 All earthwork required to grade the road establish burial terraces build the screening berm to the south
and west of the turnaround and lay out the basic pathway system
3 Water line
4 Electrical line
5 Surface drainage features if any are needed beyond those that are integral to the construction of burial
vaults crypts and niches
6 Meadow revegetation
7 Tree planting particularly conifers at the roadway entry forest edge and along the south and west edges
1 of the site to screen the Matterhorn neighborhood
8 Irrigation system
Cemeterv Elements
1 Key public spaces at the arrival area next to the turnaround and above it a small ceremony space
2 Special features ar the roadway entry and the arrival area
3 Placement of boulders for retaining walls needed in this phase
4 Handrails and wrought iron fencing where required by code on retaining walls
5 Stone paving stone steps and gravel pathways shown in Phase I
6 20 crypts all of those projected for Phase I

E CAPACITY AND PHASING
Table 4 outlines burial inventory by phase Development has been divided into six roughly equal phases each of
about fifteen years duration Expansion beyond the limits of these phases is not anticipated The numbers in each
column indicate the estimated physical capacity of the site as shown for each phase on the master plan drawing Fig
8 Inground burial places 1y sent about onefourth of the combined total of plots crypts and niches
It is not necessary to build all Phase 1 inventory at the outset in order to open the cemetery although there are
certain physical and economic efficiencies in building niches crypts and vaults in larger blocks of at least 20

More inground burials are possible if a decision were made to utilize other open space above and below
the cemetery access road Doubledepth burial plots could also be sold if desired
r Because cenotaphs and other forms of memorialization for those already dead buried elsewhere or
cremated and scattered are virtually unlimited in number they are not included in these estimates of
inventory
3 Sloanesestimate of demand for various types of burial spaces over the 100 year active life of the Vail
cemetery are based on a straightline projection of about 15 burial places per year compared with the Vail
areas present death rate which averages 3 to 4 deaths per year
The cemetery site as designed accommodated moreburial plots than the management consultants
estimate The additional plots would not be developed unless needed

V CAPITAL COSTS
A FIRST PHASE DEVELOPMENT
As outlined in the previous section most of the infrastructure needed over the life of the cemetery including roads
grading irrigation and utilities as well as major buffer landscaping is to be installed in the initial phase of
development However not all of the projected Phase 1 burial inventory needs to be built at the outset These
projections assume that all of the crypts needed in the fast phase 20 and half the niches 50 of 100 in Phase 1
willbe constructed at the beginning It also assumes that all the burial plots needed for the first fifty years of the
cemetery will be d during initial development A need for at least 90 burial plots was estimated for phases
13 but the site can accommodate up to 125 in these phases In the initial phase 30 contiguous burial plots would
be constructed with con vaults
The table below summarizes anticipated costs for the initial phase of development including all items thought
necessary to open the cemetery A detailed cost estimate is included as Adix F To some extent it would be
possible to scale back the number of burial spaces and other cemetery c ur ants if it werethoughtnecessary to
reduce the costs of the initial ing phase However it may not be possible to cover substantial deferred capital
costs for subsequent phases out of operating revenues

It is the intent that subsequent phases of sion at the cemetery would be undertaken as demand aaatsand
that additional burial inventory would be paid for by accumulated revenues from sales The costs of L vements
that are not directly paid for by sales such as additional stone retaining walls that do not contain crypts or niches

C IMPROVEMENTS AT THE MINTURN CEMETERY
i If the Vail cemetery is to be operated by the Eagle Gore Cemetery District then the ballot Flul osal for funding its
construction will also include monies for the needed expansion and iocementofRiverview Cemetery in Minturn
Cemetery Commissioners estimate the following costs will be incurred to improve an adjacent 25 acre parcel that
the Town of Minturn plans to dedicate to the existing cemetery Please see Table 8 for a cost estimate for the
Minturn Cemetery
The Cemetery District may also wish to secure management control and possibly ownership of the old cemetery
refertedtoas the Intermountain rYTheadditional cost would be minimal
t D FUNDING OF INITIAL DEVELOPMENT COSTS
A funding plan to provide for both the itVements at MintutnsRiverview Cemetery and the construction of the
new Vail cemetery has been prepared by the Cemetery District commission with assistance from the Town of Vail
Finance Director It assumes that all needed improvements at Riverview will be done in 1994 and that construction
of the Vail cemetery will be deferred until 1995 although design and engineering drawings would be completed
in 1994
The plan ry ses to fund both the capital improvements and ongoing operating expenses through a tax
mill levy The gross tax revenue required is estimated at 476725 in 1994 and 1995 and just under 50000 per
year thereafter for District rFngcosts As shown in Table 9 the estimated rJtax per 100000 market
value would be 1560 in each of the fist two years and 164 annually thereafter

O VI ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
A PRELIMINARY GEOTECHNICAL STUDY
In October 1992 Chen Northern conducted exploratory borings on the Lrl bench site as well as various
laboratory tests to evaluate the feasibility of the cemetery development and to provide preliminary
recommendations for grading drainage and foundation design of minor structures and pavement sections They
assessed both surficial soil deposits and subsurface conditions They found topsoils 1 to 2 feet in depth overlying
subsoils of medium dense silty to clayey sand and gravels mw1ed with cobbles and boulders typical ofalluvial
and colluvial No free water was encountered in the borings though subsoils were moist
Based on its reconnaissance Chen identified several geologic conditions that could affect the project The rdry
one is the existence of three debris fans in the project area resulting from high sediment concentration floods and
recurring debris flows in the vicinity Although no debris flows are known to have occurred in the project area
the three fans are thought to be still active and there is a risk that small and infrequent debris flows could
Because of the relatively lowrisk special mitigations are not deemed necessary and the project as r osed should
not increase the debris flow hazard to other existing Vwyerties
Neither onsiteobservation nor regional rockfall hazard studies indicate that the site is exposed to rockfall hazards
Further there was no field evidence of active or recently active landslides in the cemetery area The proposed
limited site disturbance and grading should not result in slope instability if rQ1yengineered Finally while there
is potential for moderately earthquake hazard in the Vail area the rosedfacilities should not be
particularly susceptible to ground shaking and earthquake resistant design would not be arprate
In its October 30 1992 geotechnica1 report the consultants concluded that development of the cemetery should
be feasible based on the geologic conditions and geotechnical considerations The construction should be mainly
within the r field below the Lrrsteep forested part of the yjjvarty to limit slope stability impacts and grading
requirements With proper design and construction it should be feasible to extend the development into the aspen
forest area to a maximum slope grade of about 25 page 11 Design recommendations to mitigate potential
problems included standards for unretained cuts and fills footings retaining walls surface drainage and
underdrain systems pavements and concrete vaults pages 1114
The complete text of Chen Northernsreport is included as Appendix H
B WA r Jrc SUPPLY
The cemetery vyerty includes no deeded water rights Although it would bepossible to supply water from wells
if permits could be obtained or to irrigate the grounds with nonpotable water discussions with the Upper Eagle
Valley Water and Sanitation District suggest that the best alternative is to connect the facility to municipal water
lines A nonpotable water system would be considerably more costly because of the need to install separate lines
To reduce water usage the landscape scheme will specify native lowwater plant species

1 C OTHER ISSUES IDENiirirDAS POSSIBLE CONCERNS
A preliminary environmental analysis was conducted in November 1992 by the Community Development
Department staff to identify any sensitive environmental issues that might be associated with the development of
a cemetery at Donovan Park Using a series of questions designed to flag areas of higher risk the study suggests
that the risks of impacts are greatest in four areas ecology habitat d6zubance surface water runoff and
sedimentation groundwater and aesthetics visual impacts
Assessing each of these the study concludes that based on the cone 1design plan no significant impact is
anticipated from the development of a cemetery at Donovan Park With planned landscape enhancements there
may be a beneficial impact for wildlife habitat by increasing cover dthe site The only potential for
environmental impact is from groundwater contamination However based on the small number of undburials
projected for the site the cone ation and rate of discharge would be extremely low and would not pose a
threat to drinking water Staff does not foresee the need for further in depthenvironmental analysis of the project
The
complete text of the preliminary environmental review is included as Appendix ID
MITIGATION MEASURES To
reduce the potential for negative impacts the following measures are recommended inthe design construction and
operation of the cemetery 1
Protect and retain existing trees and shrubs on the site to maintain habitat and ensure soil stability 2
Use additional plantings of aspens and conifers as an edge to the rr park site in order to enhance habitat value
3
Install groundwater monitoring stations between the cemetery and the two existing dwater wells if the number
ofunderground burials exceeds 500 The plan projects only 180 in groundburials in the first 100 years of
the cemetery 4
Use native plants with low water requirements tominimize the need for watering and reduce potential impacts on
groundwater 5
Overlotgrading should direct upslope surface runoff away from burial sites and vehicular circulation paths I

BRIEF HISTORY OF PREVIOUS COMMUNITY EFFORTS
When the Town of Vail was barely a decade old the fuu efforts to open a community cemetery began In the years since
a number of alternatives have been considered and much debate has taken place The project did not really gather
momentum however until the mid1989s In 1986 the Vail Land Use Plan identified a cemetery as a priority of residents
and suggested four possible sites A master plan for Donovan Park was completed in 1985 In 1987 aCemetery Task Force
was organized and a comparative study of potential sites recommended that the cemetery be located on the undeveloped
Donovan Park site After much public discussion and further study the Town Council endorsed the mendationin 1990
and in late 1992 engaged a team to develop a conceptual design plan and recommend management policies Some
highlights of the cemeterysthirty year history are outlined below
ca 1971 Local cemetery initiatives are fast mentioned in Town files
June 1973 Whitney Erin Burke was the last person to be buried at the tiny Intermountain pioneer cemetery on the
former Ruder ranch The cemetery is still there and it avyda to have half a dozen or more graves
Although no recent burials have taken place here the Vail Religious Foundation has allocated funds for
its upkeep and Town crews have built a new splitrail fence and timber steps
1978 The Vail Town Council rejected a prosal from Colorado Memorial Parks to build and a
cemetery The companysproposal was submitted after national publicity about Vails lack of a cemetery
1980 The Donovan Park parcel was purchased from David Elmore for 3870000 The purchase was funded
through the issuance of revenue bonds with proceeds from the Real Estate Transfer Tax Rr r rpledged
to service the bonds
1985 A potential cemetery was indicated on the master plan for the upper bench of Donovan Paris
1986 A public opinion survey and public meetings held in conjunction with development of the Vail Land Use
Plan indicated that a town cemetery was a priority for the community The Plan cited four parcels with
potential for this use
JulAug 86 Cemetery rronentsTown Council and the Towns Community Development Department discussed
forming a citizens committee to assist in developing a plan for a cemetery As the TownsLand Use Plan
was still in process and planners were to designate alternative sites for a cemetery the decision to organize
a task force was delayed until after the plans completion
Jan 87 With the completion of the Land Use Plan the idea of a citizens committee was revived The Town
Council directed Community Development staff to do a site analysis of possible cemetery locations the
four identified in the Plan plus nine others and to review their relative suitability
MarMay 87 The Cemetery Task Force was organized and began to educate itself and conduct site visits
Late 87 Peter Jamar Associates a local planning consultant was hired to conduct the site analysis under the
direction of the Cemetery Task Force Jamaes report identified criteria for suitability and recommended
the upper bench of Donovan Park as the best choice
11988 The Cemetery Task Forcesprocess and Jamarsrecommendations were presented at a Town Council
meeting The Council moved to rrrethe recommendation of Donovan Park as the site and instructed
the committee to continue working on their goals A public workshop discussion was vrjedprior to
scheduling any public hearings
4688 Another work session on the cemetery was held with the Town Council and the Cemetery Task Force to
discuss the Frased Donovan Park site

ugopposition to using it for a cemetery The Cemetery Task Force met afterward and a majority voted
continued support of the Donovan site in spite of the rr4tionbut raised more points for Council to
consider
73190 A final Cemetery Report was submitted to Council which outlined general directions for design
management and financing and recommended additional work in all these areas to clarify the concept
73190 At a Town Council work session Council asked Community Development staff to look at the suitability
of five additional sites
82190 At a Town Council hearing the cemetery site evaluation process was discussed and Donovan Park was
still recommended as the most suitable site Council members moved to approve the upper bench site
with the conditions that no buildings would be on the site the design would maintain the naturalness as
conceptualized by the Cemetery Committee an effort be made to buffer the residential areas as much as
possible and directions to staff to yadwith the management design and financial options
March 92 A selection process was initiated to hire a design and management consultant team to do a master plan for
the Donovan Park cemetery Final selection was made in August and a contract was jjedby Council

A SUMMARY OF PUBLIC CONCERNS
A number of issues and concerns have been expressed during the long process of public debate about a cemetery
for the Vail community Public comments and questions relating to the siting and design of the cemetery are
summarized below from the minutes of the public meeting on October 27 1992 that began the conceptual design
phase Additional comments and questions expressed over the years in letters to the Town Council and in testimony
at hearings in July 1990 on the recommendations of the site selection study have been summarized from
1 in Town of Vail files
What are the longrange projections for cemetery usage Are there any comparable statistics from other cemeteries
especially about outsiders buying plots there
Who will we bury in Vairs cemetery How many Should we accommodate nonresidents who wish to be buried
here If only locals how do we determine who a local is Is there an increasing trend for Denver le to seek
burial or to scatter their ashes in Vail
Neighbors dont want to see the cemetery although they have accepted that it will be in upper Donovan Park People
who live nearby should beable to enjoy the cemetery
How will the cemetery site be accessed and from where Will it be accessible by car or just on foot How much
traffic will be generated How will parking be handled
What is the water source Should treated water be used for landscape irrigation
How should wintertime burials be handled
How many people prefer cremation over inground burial How many ations take place in Eagle County Is
burial something we should offer at all Ask clergy what they know of burial preferences among their
congregations
Task force members expressed a preference for prohibiting aboveground monuments
Scatter cremation remains in the forested upper portions on the site audience had no great interest in a scatter
garden
How can trail use by mountain bikes be prevented
Regarding the longrange management of the land not used immediately for the cemetery should we establish a
land trust Are there other options A land trust appealed to many in the group
Procedure is there a problem with apparent preconceptions among the design team
t What is the role of the planning department in the project the Planning Commission
What is the status of the middle bench of the park
Test the concept of optional placements within the site particularly along the east side
What are the ceremonies of Vail the special features places desires events
What is the demand for burial space How stable is the population
Hours of operation
What are the longrange projections for cemetery usage Are there any comparable statistics from Montauk NY
or other cemeteries especially about outsiders buying plots there
What will be the ongoing operational costs Are projections to be provided by the study
Affordability of burial spaces how to keep prices within the reach of locals
Is there a legal issue regarding the sale of public land for private uses
Are there tax implications of using municipal funds for the cemetery when there is already a mill levy ass 4ant
for the cemetery district is this double taxation

LETTERS AND OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT
Additional specific comments and questions passed over the years in letters to the Town Council and in testimony at
hearings in July 1990 on the recommendations of the site selection study have been summarized from records in town of
Vail files
A cemetery is inoPYupriate in a residential area should be in an outlying area
Instead ofatypical cemetery make it a memorial park with plaques on trees or rocks to mark location of ashes
The method of funding the purchase of the site RETT funds precludes its use as a cemetery it was purchased
as a green belt and should be maintained as open parkland The Donovan Park property has been Fwentedto
adjacent purchasers as a park
Mintum has enough room for expansion new cemetery therefore an unreasonable tax burden Note on the
t contrary the present Minturn Cemetery is nearly filled to capacity
The cemetery will make a slum of the Matterhorn area which is already neglected
The presence of a cemetery will devalue adjacent pry
t There are negative psychological connotations of living near a cemetery
Citizens should be able to vote on this site selection but Council made a special exception to the zoning category
to include cemeteries
The cemetery should be affordable to all local residents
A cemetery doesntfitwith a resorts concept of vigor and vitality
How much will development and operation cost and how will these be financed
Who will operate the cemetery a public or private entity Who will maintain it when it is filled to capacity
How much land area is needed in the longterm for a population of our size Is there a need for vahent
structures
What will be its relationship with area churches and mortuaries

A RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS
1 Inground lots crypts and entombments shall only be sold to
a Those people who have resided or owned rpartyin the Upper Eagle Valley for a minimum of three
years The Upper Eagle Valley consists of the following communities and the areas around them Wolcott
Edwards Lake Creek Avon Beaver Creek Minturn Redcliff and Vail The three years ofresidency can
be documented by tax records employment records voter registration or the equivalent The residency
must be continuous for three years but may occur at any point in time For example children who have
been raised in the Valley but have moved elsewhere would qualify to be buried in the cemetery see
Section IVB2 Pricing
b Individuals who happen to die here and have no other burial options
c Individuals who have an immediate relative who meets the qualifications in paragraph Ala
2 Niches scatteringsinsonscenotaphs and growing memorials may be sold to any individual regardless of
residency requents
3 The Cemetery District Commissioners will review the residency qualifications of individuals wanting to purchase
spaces within the cemetery They will also review any extenuating circumstances which may be outside the
standards listed above and grant any variances Any appeal of decisions made by the Cemetery District Commission
shall be heard by the Vail Town Council
B PRICING AND SALES
1 There will be a threetiered pricing structure
aThe first tier will apply to individuals who have lived within the boundaries of the District see Fig 1
InDistrict prices will be provided for every burial option
b The second will apply to individuals who have lived outside the district but within the Upper Eagle
Valley as defined in paragraph ALa or who meet the standards of paragraphs ALb or AlcPrices in
this tier will be provided for every burial option
c The third rate tier will apply to individuals from outside the Upper Eagle Valley Burial options will
be limited to niches cenotaphs and other inscriptions growing memorials and scatterings inground burial
plots and crypts are excluded
2 Only two cemetery spaces plots crypts or niches may be sold to any single individual These spaces may be
purchased on a preneed basis
3 All sales contracts will include a right of fast refusal which will allow the Cemetery District to purchase back
any plots which are no longer wanted The right of first refusal will include a 90day period for the District to
make its decision to repurchase The sales price will be set at the same price the individual originally paid for the
space
4 There shall be an annual maintenance fee assessed against all unused spaces This will ensure that ownership
records are current Once a space has been used the fee will not be assessed

She reviewed the agenda for the meeting and then asked the Task Force to review the

Dave Cole provided the second The Task Force voted 500 and approved them LarrySloanstartedhispresentationregardingthedifferentalternativesforthemanaegment
structure Before getting into the details of each one he briefly answered a questionregardingtheinitialcapitaloutlayHesaidthattherewouldbeaonetimeassessment to
cover the initial construction costs and then the revenue from the cemetery would cover on
going costs He continued answering questions and said that the one time tax assessment
would be approximately 1000 per 10000000 of valuation
Concerning the private nonprofit alternative he said that there was a problem in that there
were no interested groups in the valley who wanted to take on this effort He further statedthattherearemanyexistingprivatenonprofitcharitiesinthevalleywhocompeteforthe
same charitable gifts
1 Concerning the private alternative he said that the national marketing orientation of a privatefirmaswellastheneedontheirpartforbuildingsonsitewouldbeproblemsforVailOneof
the task force members said that the potential lack of control regarding the development of the
cemetery was his primary criterion in determining the best management structure
Concerning the Town alternative Lary said that funding and construction probably would not
be done as quickly by the Town as by the district and that a district management approach
would be the best alternative He said that the statutory organization of the state regulationsledhimtoconcludethatthecemeterydistrictmanagementistheappropriatemethodtouse
Since the community already has a district in place it makes sense to use it Acquiring the
revenue in order to construct the cemetery would be simpler with the district Finally a
valley wide approach to solving this problem would be a plus
Someone asked if the district could expand the boundary and Increase the size In answer to
that question Lary and Dalton said that the district is surrounded on all sides by other
cemetery districts and that it would be very difficult to expand the size of the Minturn
Cemetery District as it would mean reducing the size of others
People had questions about the cemetery district specifically about its capability to manage
the proposed Vail Cemetery In response Dalton and Larry said that recent changes in board
members have improved the operation They reviewed the current Mintum operation A task
force member asked that once the district began managing the cemetery if that decision
could ever be change in the future Larry said that the contract between the Town and the
District could be very detailed and include many specific points Some of these would be that
the Town should retain ownership that it should specify a lease area that it should specify a
term after which the management would revert back to the Town or be renewed that it should
require the district to comply to the master plan designed by the current team that the pricing
structures be specified at this time etc In answer to other questions on this topic Larry said1thatbecauseeverythingwouldbeautomatedandstartingfromscratchtherewouldbemany
ways to avoid problems and streamline management
The task force said that they would like the consultant team to expand the pros and cons of
the Townand district The number one criteria to them was ensuring that the design
construction and operation of the cemetery maintain the upper bench of Donovan Park in the
most natural state possible With that concern stated and with the understanding that the
contract between the Town and the District could fully address that concern the task force
unanimously said that the district operation would be acceptabletThenextissuedealtwiththeconcernaboutlocalsvsnonlocals being buried in the
cemetery A task force member wanted to know why we couldnt prohibit outsiders Another
suggestion was to limit requests from outsiders to cremation remains Another suggestion
was to structure the pricing as a way to limit outsiders It was mentioned that with a tiered
pricing structure that funding for the cemeteries would be accomplished easier Even with the
relatively high cost applied to outsiders the task force members said they were concerned
that the cemetery would run out of land Larry Sloan said that there are limits on how far one
can accurately project into the future cemetery demand and recommended that estimates be
limited to fifty years At that time technology could change as well as burial preferences and
the cemetery may take a different shape
The demand for burial units was discussed with specific discussion about growth rates down
valley vs upvalley There was a statement made that there is unlimited space for crypts and
niches but that the ingroundburial plots require the most resources and should be priced the
highest One member suggested that eligibility should be determined He suggested that it1shouldbeaverybroaddefinitionandhisintentwasnottoexcludeanyonethatdidinfact
have a connection to the community He further stated that there was no need to include
outsiders for economic reasons and did not want the cemetery to take on a commercial
approach The task force generally concurred with that position and said that they wanted to
develop a specific definition of eligibility for handling this issue Criteria to use in the definition
could include a drivers license voter registration land ownership lease previous lease etc
It was suggested that the pricing system be based on major connections to the valley vs
minor connections to the valley but that outsiders should not be allowed It was also
suggested that a three tier pricing structure be implemented for those living within the district
boundaries those living within the county boundaries and those living outside the county A
conclusion was not developed

E Variations and Combinations of the Above

The other issues to be considered when selecting a management form are
L Source of capital to implement Phase I
2 Staffing to meet operating needs
3 Long term nature of solution and commitment
4 Control by Town
5 Legal limitations or issues
Other Issues Particular to One Management F
The high emphasis on products for those selecting cremation and the use of vertical fronts
on the crypts limits the question of winter operations The cemetery as envisioned will
easily operate year round
If limited inground burial is permitted this can probably be done year round considering
the very anticipated limited use The Minturn Cemetery is able to bury during the winter
and further the original soils tests in the site feasibility study seem to conclude this is not
a problem Such inground excavations would require an interment contractor rregardless
of the form of management
1 1

Pros and Con
Town Management
Pros The Town retains total control over design implementation and operations
The Town Clerks office would be able to absorb this minimal paper and
money handling function
Town staff can be assigned to the modest maintenance functions on a weekly
basis or for snow removal on an as needed basis Burials can be
accomplished by contract with a private concern or funeral home
Cons The County and the cemetery district officialshave an opinion the Town
should not operate a cemetery rather this is a cemeterydistrict responsibility
1 Although the cost is small Vail already funds 90 of the costs of the Minturn
Cemetery District through a mill levy This would continue and constitute a
double cost
I am advised the Town capital funding may be limited rdelayed due to
prioritizing by the council This may cause the cemetery not to be startedrNotFqrProfitManagement
Pros Eliminates direct Town staff time and involvement
Presumably places responsibility with highly motivated and interested grouptofcitizenswithnoprofitmotive
Keeps local Vail control of site development and operations
Cons At this point I know of no group willing to step forward to enter the
Cemetery Business
The group would have to rely upon a Town capital contribution or private1donationstocapitalizetheprojectandsuchfundingsourcesmaybedifficult
to secure
May fall back to Town if the NFP corporation is not successful in producing
operating surplus
2
LF Sloane Consulting Group
Private For Profit Onerator
Pros Private company provides all capital requirements except land acquisition cost
Town while contract is in place will not have any operating expenses except
staff time of supervision of contractor
The Towns residents will be offered this protection with a proactive
marketing effort
Cons Legally this may be complex with the Town retaining title to the underlying
real property while the private firm installs fixtures or permanent capital
improvements
The Town would have the least control under this scenario for development
and operations1Thefirmwould presumably be seeking to profit from the investment and
space prices may be higher as a result Further the building prohibition on
the site may severely limit interest as the private firm cannot develop office
chapel or funeral home facilities on the site
CemetervDistrict Management
Pros The district has taxing power to provide the capital funding for Phase I of the
cemetery through a special mill levy
This district is operating a cemetery in Minturn and cost savings are likely
through a single management The district could add the intermountain
cemetery to its responsibilities to avoid the abandonment of this historic site
Both the district and the county encourage this approach legally and
technically The districts commissioners now include two Vail residents as
members The use of the district for management will encourage the upper
valley to work together Further the Town is already funding the district
through a mill levy If the District were also responsible for a Vail Cemetery
this funding source would be of more direct benefit to the Towns taxpayers
while eliminating further Town expenditures for the cemetery
r 3
LF Sloane Consulting Group
1 Cons The district has been casually operated heretofore and the Town will need
assurances that management practices will be professionalized by the district
The special mill levy will be an additional cost to Vail residents probably
including funding for the 25 acre expansion of the Minturn Cemetery
The Town will want to craft an understanding with the district on design longtermlanduseandoperatingpoliciespriortoapprovingthisapproach
Should a vote be required for initial funding as a result of Amendment 1 Vail
would need support of voters elsewhere in the District Mintum EagleVail

Town of Vail Colorado
Feasibility Studv The Market Area
The new cemetery as proposed could serve all of upper eastern Faale County We feel
this is the largest possible circle for the market analysis to consider and may well prove to
be too broad due to variable socialeconomic traditions and sheer distances
Eagle County is over 60 miles in width east to west The Town of Vail is located in the
eastern portion of the county some 34 miles from Eagle
Eagle County had a population in 1990 of 17998 The census bureau projects a 31
growth rate and a 1995 population of 20652 The number of households totalled 7667 in
1990 with an average household size of 23 people
Among those households the number of families is only 3849 with an average size of 30
people The average family income is 41457 per annum and exceeds both the average
within Colorado and for the United States as a whole
An important issue for cemeteries is the age breakdown Essentially it is unusual for a
purchaser of cemetery space to be under age 45 In Eagle County the age breakdown on
a percentage basis is as follows
ALYe Eagle Countv Colorado L
Under 18 242 289 285
18 44 584 431 397
4564 143 185 190
64 41 95 12801o
The above comparative clearly indicates the County is dominated by baby boomers fewerchildrenandsignificantlyfewerolderresidentsastheStateandCountyasawhole
Always a factor when discussing what is essentially a retail product income is higher in
Eagle County than in the State as a whole or the County
Income Levels Location
Median Household Income
28525 US
30952 Colorado
34358 Eagle County

LF Sloane Consulting Group
The County ranks 7th within the State and tracks similar rates when looking at average1householdincome38296orpercapitaincome161318
The population is very homogeneous compared to the US as a whole with 9346b white
64 Hispanic and 02 black
The population is well educated Over onethird of the residents are college graduates
compared to 2301o for the State and 161 for the US
In County 746 of the female population participates in the workforce Only Pitkin and
Summit Counties have higher rates with the State The State and U are 552 and 499
respectively
In sum Eagle County has a homogeneous population heavier weighted to the baby boom
generation with higher wealth and education The population as a market area is small
Further the mortality rate is a very modest 32 per 100000 population or 032 tenths of one
percent of the population annually Often the market area is determined by connecting
drive time In Eagle County this time is 219 minutes
The Eagle Community is likely to have more individuals selecting cremation and cremation
memorials than average because of the profile demographics of the residents and a
recognition this is the preference among those families with a death in recent years
It is difficult to predict demand as the population is young There is a question of whether
or not those residents now under 40 will remain in Vail as they age
Though not a science I have concluded from this data that the demand for spaces will be
as shown in the charts in this report

Site C nneity
The widely held choice for cremation as a preparation for memorialization allows the Town
to utilize the 12 acre site for the long term
The design concept is to cluster burial units in three phases while leaving most of the site
undeveloped I recommend the crypts be built in phases of 20 spaces In three phases this
would allow for 60 such spaces The physical plan will identify sites for additional crypts if
demand warrants such development
I recommend that clusters of low wall niches be built in phases of 50 to 100 This would
provide 300 niche spaces in multiple clusters in the initial three phases
I recommend a single site scatter Barden with provisions for memorial cenotaphs Each of
the three phases would allow for 100 names on cenotaphs for a total of 300 such spaces
Those scattered with their information recorded but no physical inscription adds to this
three cluster three phase capacity by I estimate 10 numerically
In the initial three phases the plan would provide 180 inground burial spaces with 60 in
each phase
Therefore the cemetery capacity in this initial three phases utilizing less than 20 of the
site is 750 units An equal number of units would be site planned as phases 4 5 6 for a
total capacity of 1500 units
I project that usage and sales of places will aversge 15 units per year givingearving the initial 3
phases a 50 year active life Site planners are planning for phases 4 5 6 to provide the
Town with a 100 year plan The unit absorption rate is at the point of sale of the space
not burial

The 25 acre expansion of the Minturn Cemetery will provide asimilarlength of active life
for this existing district cemetery
The increasing trend in the choice of cremation over burial may extend the active life even
further Another variable is the question of whether or not the residents now 18 to 44
residing in Vail will stay in Vail or locate less where as they age
Only two memorial spaces may be sold to any single individual These may be purchased
on a preneed basis All sales contracts will include a rightoffirst refusal which will allow
the cemetery district to purchase back any plots which are no longer wanted The right of
first refusal will include a ninety day period for the district to make its decision The sales
price will be set at the same price the individual originally paid for the memorial space

LF Sloane Consulting Croup
A Model foie Dfctrict Develonmrnrand deeratinn 2f the Vail Qemeterv
The District with a governing board of three commissioners would operate the Vail
Cemetery in conjunction with other cemeteries within the district
The District should investigate at once the process for assessing a special mill levy for
capital expansion of the new Vail Cemetery and the existing Minturn Cemetery
Capital requirements for both expenditures will be available when the master planning
process is complete The impact on taxpayers of the special mill levy can be evaluated with
all the data assembled
The assessment would capitalize both the Minturn expansion and the Vail develrent
Further it could fund the establishment of an endowment fund for the care and preservation
of all the district cemeteries to be further funded from a setaside of 2S of all space sales
in all the District cemeteries
The District should in my view increase prices of lots in the Minturn Cemetery as no
increase has occurred since at least 1974 The new price should include a setaside for the
perpetual care endowment fund I recommend the fee be changed to 10000 per space with
2500 of this price going to the trust
The Town and District should agree on a threetier ci tem with a residents rate for
any resident of the district a second tear for Upper Eagle Valley residents and a third
higher price for nonresidents
The price variance or premium for nonresidence should be at least 40 These funds if
retained as a surplus will help defray the costa of Phase H development in Vail or capital
improvements in Minturn in future years As the taxpayers of the District will be funding
the initial phase this seems both fan and logical to me
In the public comment a concern was ssed about the potential of large numbers of
outsiders wishing space in the Vail Cemetery Pricing is one tool in limiting this perceivedproblem
The District should agree to develop the cemetery in accordance with the site master planapprovedbytheTownTheDistrictCoissionershavebeenincludedintheplanning
process
LF Sloane Consulting Group
The cemetery should be operated on a year round basis All permanent records and fiscal
records should be automated and a tape backup furnished to the Town periodically as an1addedprotectionComputeroperationscanbediscussedwiththeDistrictCommissioners
I recommend the agreement between the Town and the Cemetery District be in the nature
of a management contract Such a contract would include but not be limited to
1 The Town not the District would retain title to the underlying real property
2 The District not the Town would provide capital funding for the construction of the
Cemetery probably by a special onetime mill levy Future phases would be built
from setasides from the sale of Phase I spaces andor loans from the trust funds
3 The District not the Town would provide operating funds from the existing annual
mill levy and fees for spaces and services from the joint management of the Minturn
and Vail Cemeteries The District at its discretion may contract with the Town for
certain services
4 District Commissioners2 shall establish fee schedules for cemetery spaces and service
fees
5 The District will agree to establish an endowment fund for the longterm care and
preservation of the cemeteries by setting aside not less than 2501o of the retail cost
of lots crypts niches or cenotaphs sold in the cemeteries The nature of the fund
and investment policies for the principal of the fund shall be carefully established
6 The District and the Town would mutually establish policies governing the Vail
Cemetery to be administered by the District Commissioners Such policy issues
would include but not be limited to memorial sizes materials inscriptions floral
rules resident nonresident issues hours and days of activity at the cemetery
recordkeeping processes terms and conditions of purchases within the cemetery and
other technical issues
7 The agreement would be longterm in nature with recourse for the Town in the event
the District fails to operate the facility to a standard of good cemetery practices
The cemetery district commissioners will review the residency qualifications of
individuals wanting to purchase spaces within the cemetery They will also review any
extenuating circumstances which may be outside the standards listed above and grant any
variances Any appeal of decisions made by the cemetery district commission shall be heard
by the Vail Town Council

capital funding
In the final team master plan report the appendix to the report will provide the District andtheTownwithaproposedfeeschedulemodelrulesandregulationstogovernthecemeteryformsandrecordkeepingrecommendationsmemorialinscriptionspecificationsandthelike

NOTES TO THE COST ESTIMATE
1 The area of disturbance will be roughly 88400 SF or just over 2 acres Of this area approximately 7500SF will
be gravel road tracks or paths 3500 SF for flagstone paving and steps and 1000 SF for walls leaving 77400
SF in vegetation of which just over 74000 SF will be reseeded with native grasses
2 An excess of fill over cut is required to create the berm at the west end for screening from the neighborhood and
to develop a flatter turnaround area at the end of the entry road
3 Rough grading for the entry road is included in the total figure for overiot rough grading
4 The 3 wide cobble swale runs alongside the entry road where needed to direct slope runoff
5 Itemized unit costs for niches and crypts follow in a separate estimate from HEPY
6 Concrete burial vaults are optional and not required by Colorado state law However designers and Cemetery Task
Force members recommend their use to prevent soil subsidence and to facilitate wintertime burials The most
efficient installation is 30 to 50 units at one time
7 These prices are for spruce and fir field dug or nursery grown and installed Lodgepole pine are approximately
20 less expensive
8 Quantities for aspen in all sizes assume that 50 are multistemmed
9 All new trees shrubs and planting beds will need irrigation either drip or spray A temporary system will be needed
t for all reseeded areas until the grasses become established

DETAILS FOR UTILITIES ON SITE
WATER
1 Irrigation with raw water requires water rights for Gore Creek However it is probable that the Vail Valley
Consolidated Water District already owns all available Gore Creek rights Further a separate system of
lines and pumps would have to be installed at considerable expense and easements for such Ones obtained
from Gore Creek to the site Jerry Bender UEVWD
2 Irrigation with well water requires a separate state permit which is not difficult for municipalities but can
be complicated if there is already another existing source available A large well 1000 gpm could cost
as much as 100000 the proponents of the par 3 golf course proposed for East Vail found it cheaper to
use municipal water Ernie Bender VRD
3 The costs to connect to the existing municipal system would include
1000 Water tap fee waived for municipalities
4000 Installation of the water tap excavation of pit 4 manhole backflow preventor pressure

ELECTRICAL SERVICE
1 The customer pays for and installs everything except the transformer The 100 permit fee would be waived if
service is in the Town of Vailsname Holy Cross Electric
2 No night lighting is anticipated but electricity is needed for the irrigation control panel and other possible
maintenance and service functions The minimum available is 60 amp 120240 V secondary service from the

Subject Geologic Hazard Impacts and Preliminary Geotechnical Study Proposed
Cemetery Donovan Park Vail Colorado
Job No 4 105 93
Gentlemen
As requested we have conducted a geologic hazard impacts and preliminary geotechnical study
for the cemetery at the subject site
Potential geologic hazards which could impact the F osed development consist of flooding
f the sidehill drainages construction induced slope instability and seismic earthquake
shaking
Subsurface conditions encountered in the exploratory borings drilled in the vksed
development area consist of about 1 to 2 feet of topsoil above medium dense silty to clayey sand
and gravel with cobbles Dense gravel with boulders was encountered at depths of 6 and 10 feet
in the borings north of Matterhorn Circle Groundwater was not encountered in the borings at
the time of drilling to the depth explored 21 feet
Development of the cemetery should be feasible based on the geologic conditions and
geotechnical considerations The construction should be mainly within the open field below the
upper steep forested part of the property to limit slope stability impacts and grading
requirements Recommendations for preliminary design of cuts and fills foundations for support
of minor buildings and retaining structures and pavement sections are presented in the report
The report which follows describes our investigation summarizes our findings and presents our
recommendations suitable for planning and preliminary design It is important that we provide
consultation during design additional subsurface investigation as needed and field services

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a geologic hazard impacts and preliminary geotechnical
study for a proposed cemetery to be located in Donovan Park Matterhorn Circle Vail
Colorado The project site is shown on Fig 1 The purpose of the study was to develop
recommendations for the foundation design The study was conducted in accordance with our
agreement for geotechnical engineering services to Alpine International dated October 6 1992
A field exploration program consisting of exploratory borings was conducted to obtain
information on the subsurface conditions Samples obtained during the field exploration were
tested in the laboratory to determine classification and other engineering characteristics of the
1 onsite soils The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing were analyzed to
evaluate the feasibility of the proposed development and to provide preliminary recommendations
for grading drainage and foundation design of minor structures and pavement sections The
results of the field exploration and laboratory testing are presented in the report
This report has been prepared to summarize the data obtained during this study and to
present our conclusions and recommendations based on the plosed construction and the subsoil
conditions encountered Preliminary design parameters and a discussion of the geologic hazards
and geotechnical engineering considerations related to construction of the proposed cemetery are
included in the report

PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION
Chen Associates Inc now known as ChenNorthern Inc previously conducted
subsurface exploration at five possible cemetery sites one being the Donovan Park site reported
under Job No 4 443 87 dated November 30 1987 The exploration consisted of digging one
backhoe pit to a depth of 10 feet The information developed during this study has been
considered in the current evaluation
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed cemetery will consist of burial sites in the main development and crypts
and niches partly buried in the upper part of the development Paved roadways and paths will
access the development Most of the develrentis to be within the central open
field part of the p vFerty and possibly extend 100 to 200 feet into the upper aspen forest area
1 with walking trails Grading for the roadways and cryptniche sites is assumed to be relatively
minor with cut and fill depths of about 2 to 6 feet There could be minor buildings or structures
with light foundation loadings
When development area grading and drainage information have been developed we
should be notified to reevaluate the recommendations presented in this report
hpnA 1nrtliPrn inr

1i CONDITIONS
The property consists of vacant land in the upper part of the Matterhorn subdivision area
in the southwestern part of Vail Most of the property is an old fallow agricultural field with
an abandoned irrigation ditch through the middle from the northeast to the southwest An
existing gravel drive which extends between Matterhorn Circle on the north and Matterhorn
Circle on the west cuts through the northern art of the property The south part of therpartPrertY
is a steeply sloping hillside vegetated with a dense aspen forest with an understory of brush
grass and weeds A steep downslope about 20 to 30 feet high borders the northwest limit of the
property Single family and multifamily residential buildings border the property to the north
west and east
GEOLOGIC bri iuTG
I The Donovan Park Cemetery site is located primarily on a valley side bench along the
southeast side of Gore Creek The bench is formed by coalescing debris fans colluvial slopes
I and a stream terrace Slopes along the bench are between 10 and 20 down to the north
towards Gore Creek The creek channel lies about 30 feet below the lowest site elevations In
the southeastern part of the site the moderately sloping bench abruptly gives way to a steep
valley side Slopes along the valley side average about 45 The major geologic features in
the area are shown on Fig 1
hPnaNnrrliPrn nr

SURFICIAL DEPOSITS
Several surficial soil deposits are present in the project area The surface of the bench
in the northern part of the site is underlain by deep colluvium Qc and three debris fans
QdfA QdB and QdIC with source drainage basins on the valley side to the south The
valley side in the southern part of the site is underlain by relatively shallow colluvium with
occasional ouLys of the Minturn Formation
The western debris fan QdfA has a source basin which covers about 200 acres The
upper parts of the basin lie at elevations of about 10300 feet and the basin has an average slope
of about 33 The fan is a complex feature and rQksents at least three cycles of deposition1
The modern stream has cut below the older fan surfaces which stand as isolated remnants above
the younger fan surface At the time of our field review in midOctober 1992 a small amount
of spring fed base flow was present in the stream channel To our knowledge historic debris
flows have not occurred on this fan but the youngest fan surface is probably still an active fan
surface under cuQtenvironmental conditions and is still subject to infrequent debris flow The
youngest fan surface is not present in the tvFosed cemetery area but lies to the west
The central debris fan QdfB is relatively small in comparison to the other two debris
fans The central fan has a source basin which covers about 35 acres The upper parts of the
basin He at an elevation of about 9000 feet and the basin has an average slope of about 44
The fan is a simple feature pesenting a single deposition cycle The fan head is located about
100 feet to the east of the eastern rvarty line and the fan surface is undeveloped The small
stream which drains this basin is ephemeral and the channel is poorly defined downslope of the
fan head To our knowledge historic debris flows have not occurred on this fan but the fan
hPnaNrnrthPrn inr

is probably still active under current environmental conditions and is subject to infrequent debris
flows
The eastern debris fan QdfChas a source basin which covers about 150 acres The
upper parts of the basin lie at elevations of about 10300 feet and the basin has an average slope
of about 35 The fan is a simple feature c ksentinga single deposition cycle The fan
head at its closest point is located about 600 feet to the southeast of the eastern rFertyline
Much of the fan surface between the tFertyand the fan head has been developed Several
residences and streets are located in this area The stream which drains Basin C above the
I eastern fan is ephemeral and only flows during periods of rapid snowmelt in the spring or as a
result of thunderstorm runoff in the summer and early fall To our knowledge historic debris
I flows have not occurred on this fan but the fan is probably still active under cut
environmental conditions and is subject to infrequent debris flows
The debris fan deposits and colluvium on the bench between the debris fans are relatively
deep The exploratory borings show that in the central part of the site these deposits extend to
I depths which are greater than 16 to 21 feet below the ground surface The colluvium
encountered in Borings 1 and 2 in the lower northwestern part of the site was fig 6 to
10 feet deep and was deposited on top of stream tciiace alluvium The colluvium and debris
fan deposit consist of poorly stratified poorly sorted subrounded gravel cobbles and
occasional boulders in a silty sand matrix The stream terrace alluvium in the northwestern part
of the site consisted of relatively clean stratified sand and gravel with rounded cobbles and
occasional boulders The terrace alluvium is probably a Bull Lakeage glacial outwash deposit

FORMATION ROCK
The steep valley side in the southern part of the site is underlain by shallow colluvium
over the Pennsylvanianage Minturn Formation Colluvium is generally present at the surface
but a few rock outcrops occur locally The Minturn Formation consists of interstratified
sandstone conglomerate and shale with some carbonate beds Tweto and Lovering 1977 The
regional geologic mapping done by Tweto and Lovering 1977 shows that the bedding in the
Minturn Formation in the area strikes about 80 west and dips about 15 to the north towards
the Gore Creek valley Faults have not been mapped at the site but several east trending small
displacement faults are present to the south veto and Lovering 1977 Displacement on the
faults probably does not exceed 500 feet The faults are not considered to be potentially active
faults Kirkham and Rogers 1981
LANDSLIDES
Regional mapping shows that part of the valley above the site to the south may be a
bedding plane rock slide in the Minturn Formation Tweto and Lovering 1977 The regional
dip of the bedding which is towards the valley floor and steplike topography are consistent
with this intcycation During our field reconnaissance we did not observe evidence which
could be intrAas indicating recent rock slide displacements Landslip fault or fissures
which may indicate recent rock slide movements have been observed in the region but have not
been mapped above the site Tweto and Lovering 1977

SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the project was conducted on October 6 1992 Seven
exploratory borings were drilled at the locations shown on Fig 1 to evaluate the subsurface
conditions The borings were advanced with 4inch diameter continuous flight augers powered
by a trackmounted CME45 drill rig The borings were logged by a representative of
ChenNorthern Inc
Samples of the subsoils were taken with 1 38inch and 2inch ID spoon samplers The
samplers were driven into the subsoils at various depths with blows from a 140pound hammer
falling 30 inches This test is similar to the standard penetration test described by ASTM
Method D1586 The penetration resistance values are an indication of the relative density or
consistency of the subsoils Depths at which the samples were taken and the penetration
resistance values are shown on the Logs of Exploratory Borings Fig 2 The samples were
returned to our laboratory for review by the project engineer and testing
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown graphically on Fig 2 The
subsoils consist of about 1 to 2 feet of topsoil overlying medium dense silty to clayey sand and
gravel with cobbles Dense gravel with cobbles and boulders was encountered at depths of 6 and
10 feet in Borings 1 and 2 located in the downhill northern part of the property Drilling in the
dense gravel with auger equipment was difficult due to the cobbles and boulders and drilling

encountered in the subsoils We previously identified the coarse fraction of the soil between
5inch and 12inch to be between about 5 to 15 in the exploratory pit
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the borings included natural
moisture content density gradation analyses and Atterberg limits Results of gradation analyses
performed on small diameter drive samples minus 1 12inch fraction of the natural granular
soilsare shown on Figs 4 5 and 6 The laboratory testing is summarized in Table I
No free water was encountered in the borings at the time of drilling and the subsoils were
slightly moist to moist
GEOLOGIC HAZARD ASSESSMENT
Based on this reconnaissance study we have identified several geologic conditions which
could have an effect on the proposed project These conditions and their anticipated influence
on the project are discussed below
r
DEBRIS FLOW HAZARD
The three debris fans in the project area result from infrequent but recurring debris flows
and high sediment concentration floods In mid to late May of 1984 several debris flows
occurred in the Vail area on fans similar to those present in the project area but to our
knowledge debris flows did not occur on the fans in the project area at this time Although
historic debris flows have apparently not occurred in the project area in our opinion parts of
the three fans in the project area are still geomorhically active and are subject to future debris
flows There is currently insufficient data in the Vail area to estimate statistical recucice
hPn aNnrtliPrn Ins
9
probabilities for debris flows In our opinion debris flows appear to be infrequent events on
individual fans Recurrence intervals on individual fans are likely greater than several hundreds
of years but the historic record is too short to confirm this opinion
Regional debris flow hazard maps indicate that parts of the debris fans below Basin A
and Basin C are High to Moderate Debris Flow Hazard Areas Mears 1984 The 1984
regional map shows that the hazard area for the Basin A Fan lies to the west of the proposed
cemetery area and the fan surface in the cemetery area is not exposed to potential debris flows
from Basin A Based on our field review we would concur with the 1984 regional hazard
study The 1984 regional hazard study did not identify Basin B and Fan B as potential hazard
areas but based on our field review it is our opinion that Basin B has the potential for small
1 debris flows which could result in debris deposition and erosion on the fan and downslope areas
Debris flows from Basin C could conceivably reach the project area The lit1iject area lies
downslope of the Moderate Hazard Area shown on the 1984 regional hazard map Another
factor which would lessen the potential impact of debris flows from Basin C at the site is the
existing development which lies between the site and the fan head
The need for and cost effectiveness of debris flow mitigations for the Donovan Park
Cemetery Project in our opinion are questionable because of the apparent infrequency of debris
flows If the developer is willing to accept a relatively low risk of debris flow deposition and
erosion during a reasonable service life for the project then special mitigations would not be
necessary Development planning is cuctly in the conceptual phase Based on our cuct
understanding of the development facilities it is our opinion that the proposed development
should not increase the debris flow hazard to existing other properties structures and facilities
ChPnaNnrthPrn Inr
10
As planning and design proceed we should be advised of the proposed facilities to determine
if this opinion is applicable to the final project plans
ROCKFALL HAZARD
We did not observe conditions in the project area or upslope on the south valley side
which would indicate that the project site is exposed to a rockfall hazard Regional rockfall
hazard studies also indicate that the site is not exposed to a rockfall hazard Schmueser and
Associates 1984
SLOPE INSTABILITY
We did not find field evidence which would indicate that active or recently active
landslides are present in the proposed cemetery area Part of the valley side to the south of the
site may be an ancient rock slide but evidence of recent rock slide movements was not apparent
The proposed facilities would not be particularly susceptible to minor ccp movement if they
are occurring It is our understanding that the 1v1osed development will involve limited site
disturbance and grading In our opinion the proposed grading should not result in slope
instability if properly engineered
EARTHQUAKE HAZARD
There is a potential for moderately strong earthquake ground shaking in the Vail area
but the potential for severe ground shaking is remote during a reasonable service life for the type
of development proposed The rkosedfacilities should not be particularly susceptible toi
earthquake ground shaking and earthquake resistant design would not be appropriate for most

of the proposed cemetery facilities The Vail area is in the Uniform Building Code Seismic Risk
Zone 1 UBC 1991 Edition
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Development of the property for the ujposed cemetery should be feasible based on the
geologic conditions and geotechnical considerations The construction should be mainly within
the open field below the upper steep forested part of the property to limit slope stability impacts
and grading requirements With ruFer design and construction it should be feasible to extend
the development into the aspen forest area to a maximum slope grade of about 25
Recommendations suitable for planning and preliminary design of the grading drainage minor
buildings and retaining structures and pavement sections are presented in the following section
Once building and grading plans have been developed we should perform geotechnical review
and additional analysis as needed
PRELPAINARY DESIGN RECOAEM ENDATIONS
FOUNDATIONS
Sjad footings placed at minimum depth on the natural soils below the topsoil should
be feasible for support of lightly loaded structures such as crypts retaining walls and minor
buildings The granular soils encountered at typical shallow footing depth should have adequate
bearing capacity with relatively slow settlement potential We should observe the foundation
hPnaNnrtliPrn nr w
12
excavation for each of the structures to evaluate the exposed soils for foundation support Large
boulder or formational rock may require blasting or other rock excavation techniques
Spread footings placed at shallow depth on the natural granular soils below the topsoil
can be designed for an allowable bearing pressure of 2000 psf to 3000 psf Sl cad footings
should have a minimum width of 16 inches for building wall footings and 24 inches for retaining
wall footings Retaining structures and walls should be designed to resist lateral earth loading
We expect earth loading in the range of 40 pcf to 50 pcf for a flat backslope to 60 pcf for a
backslope of 3 horizontal to 1 vertical The wall backfill should consist of the onsitegranular
soil or imported freedraining gravel devoid of vegetation topsoil and oversized rock
BELOW GRADE CONSTRUCTION
An underdrain system should be provided around all below grade areas to centbuildup
of hydrostatic pressure behind walls and seepage into the structures Weepholes should not be
used to drain site grading walls because of their potential to freeze and become inoperative
The underdrain system should consist of a drainpipe surrounded by freedraining gravel
placed at the bottom of the wall backfill The drain lines should be placed at least 1 foot below
adjacent below grade level and sloped at a minimum 1 grade to a suitable gravity outlet Free
draining gravel should consist of minus 2inch aggregate with less than 50 passing the No 4
sieve and less than 2 passing the No 200 sieve Depth of the drain gravel should be at least
2 feet deep A relativelyimpervious soil should cap the dram gravel and be compacted to hmrt
surface water infiltration behind the walls
hPn aNnrrhPrn f nt
13
SLABSONGRADE
The natural onsite soils exclusive of topsoil should be suitable to support lightly loaded
floor slabs There could be some potential for diftial settlement between floor and
foundation members To reduce the effects of small movements floor slabs should be
constructed separate from the building foundations In small structures such as crypts and
niches it should be feasible to construct the slabs monolithically with the foundation Required
fill below slabs can consist of the onsite gravelly soils excluding vegetation topsoil and rock
larger than about 6 inches or a suitable granular material can be imported Fill below slabs
should be compacted to at least 95 of the maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture
content near optimum At least 4 inches of freedraining gravel should be placed beneath slabs
constructed below grade to act as a drainage layer
PAVEMENT SFA iLON
We understand that service roads and walkways will be provided Asphalt will likely be
the pavement material Based on the general type of proposed development and subsoil
conditions encountered a pavement section consisting of 2 12 to 3 inches of asphalt above 6 to
8 inches of aggregate base course can be assumed for preliminary design purposes Once
development plans and traffic loading have been determined a pavement analysis should be
made for the final recommended section
SITE GRADING
The extent of site grading required for the project is not known at this time We assume
the site will be needed maim for parkingradingyg roadways and trails To reduce the risk of
hPnANJnrthPrn Tnr
14
construction induced slope instability permanent cut and fill sections should be limited to about
t 10 feet deep Unretained cuts and fills should be graded at 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter
and revegetated to reduce erosion Flatter cuts and subsurface drainage may be needed if
seasonal shallow perched groundwater is encountered Required fill below roadway and
pavement areas can consist of the onsite soils compacted to at least 95 of the maximum
standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum Topsoil should be removed and
the subgrade compacted prior to fill placement Embankment fills should be benched into
portions of the hillside exceeding 20 grade Compaction of fill in landscape areas should be
to at least 90 standard Proctor density We should review the grading plans for the project
with respect to geotechnical considerations and perform additional analysis as needed
SURFACE DRAINAGE
Positive surface drainage should be rvAdedacross the site to prevent ponding of water
near structures pavement and slab areas We recommend positive surface drainage be provided
away from structure and site walls for a distance of at least 10 feet Foundation wall baclfill
should be capped with about 2 feet of the onsite clayey soils to reduce surface water infiltration
into the backfill A hydrologist or civil engineer should evaluate the flow potential of the
hillside drainage through the site and provide appropriate levels of protection

design purposes The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon
the data obtained from the exploratory borings drilled at the locations indicated on Fig 1 a
geologic reconnaissance and the assumed type of proposed construction Variations in the
subsurface conditions may be encountered across the site Additional geotechnical investigation
should be conducted at the individual building sites to determine site specific recommendations

described herein this office should be advised at once so reevaluation of the recommendations
may be made We recommend onsite observation of excavations and foundation bearing strata
and testing of structural fill by a representative of the soil engineer

Preliminary Environmental Analysis of the Proposed Cemetery at
Donovan Park
1 Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of this preliminary environmental analysis is to identify any sensitive
environmental issues that may be associated with the development of a cemetery at
Donovan Park If significant environmental issues are identified that can not be mitigated
then a Environmental Impact Report will be prepared This analysis is intended to im
prove decision making in the evaluation of the site and help ensure environmental consid
erations are addressed in the site design
Methodology
This preliminary analysis utilized a systematic environmental review process devel
oped for the Department of the Army This process identifies environmental areas of
concern that should be evaluated to determine the degree of environmental risk Environ
mental risk was determined by evaluating the impact on 11 environmental areas eg
ecology surface water groundwater using a series of filter questions The score for each
question in an environmental area is added to determine the level of environmental risk
Each environmental area that is identified as having a high risk will be evaluated to deter
mine if steps can be taken to minimize the risk This environmental review process only
highlights or red flags environmental areas that may be impacted It does not quantify
the risk and should only be considered a preliminary step to focus an environmental
analysis on sensitive issues
This process is congruent with the spirit and intent of the National Environmental
Policy Act NEPA but tailored foruse at a municipal level As in NEPA a preliminary
environmental review will detine if any significant impacts may occur from the pro
posed action If significant issues arise then an Environmental Impact Report EIR will be
prepared that will evaluate the specific environmental consequences of each alternative
evaluated
Description of the Proposed Action
For many Years the Vail community has discussed designating land within the town
limits as a Town Cemetery In 1986 the Town Land Use Plan identified that a cemetery
was a priority for Vail citizens Many of the founding families of Vail expressed an inter
est in creating a cemetery in the Town of Vail The Town has responded to this request
from the constituency and has proposed a location at Donovan Park
The Donovan Park Parcel is a 95 acre portion of Donovan Park Figure 1 The
actual area proposed for the cemetery is three to four acres in the southwest corner of the
parcel The current design concept is to provide for both underground and above ground
1 1
burial crypts Figure 2
The current conceptual design plan would maintain existing vegetation and placea
above ground burials in natural niches in the forested portion of the park Access to a
parking area would be a reinforced grassy track Additional tree plantings are proposed
on the north side of the site to provide an entrance to the park Indigenous wildflowers
would be planted on the grassy plain to further enhance the aesthetic and natural quality
of the site
II Alternatives Considered
Six alternative sites were evaluated in a 1987 site selection study Figure 3 The
suitability of each site was evaluated based on eleven criteria Each alternative site was
given a score for each criteria and a cumulative score Table 1 Donovan Park had the
highest score using these criteria The Lionsridge parcel had the second closest score and
was not considered to be as suitable as Donovan Park because it was located on private
property

III Affected Environment
Site Conditions and Land Use
t The Donovan Park area is zoned open space and is predominately a grassy field
with a forested area on the south side Most of the property is an old fallow agricultural
field with an irrigation ditch through the middle running from the northeast to the south
west Slopes along the bench are between 10 and 20 down to the north on the east
2
north and west An unpaved road Matterhorn Circle runs through the north side of the
site
Flora and Fauna
Aspens dominate the south portion 23 acres of the site with interspersed
lodgepoles and firs Grasses wildflowers and thistles cover 85 of the site Deer and elk
are known to use the site for grazing Small mammals such as rabbits field mice ground
squirrels and vowels are likely to inhabit the site
Hydrology and Geology
The area is well drained with porous soils Soil borings were done on the site and
no evidence of aquifers were found 20 feet below the site However the area may act as a
recharge area for alluvial aquifers near Gore Creek Two ground water wells are currently
located approximately 400 meters from the site and could be within wellhead protection
areas that Upper Eagle Valley Sanitation and Water District is developing for the area
r In a recent geologic analysis prepared by Chen and Northern Inc no evidence was
found to indicate that there was a risk of landslides in the eemetary area This report con
cluded that the proposed grading should not result in slope instability if based on the
proposed design
IV Environmental Risk of Proposed Action
The first step in this analysis was to answer a series of filter questions in eleven
environmental areas to determinethe potential for impact This process does not deter
mine if an impact will occur but it does identify issues that should beexamined de
pending on the nature of the proposed action Therefore a high risk rating does not neces
sarily mean that there will be an impact but that it is an area of concern that needs to be
evaluated
Four technical areas did have high risk scores ecology surface water ground wa
ter and aesthetics Table 2 Each of these areas of concern will be evaluated below to deter
mine if there is a risk of the proposed action having an impact in the area of concern

Environmental Score

46 Moderate Risk
7 High Risk
Ecology
Ecology received a high score because the site is within a 12 mile of Gore Creek
and because the site is used for grazing by big game There may be some disturbance of
habitat during the landscaping and construction of the site However there may infaet be
an enhancement of the habitat for large game through the planting of trees around the
perimeter of the park which will provide additional cover without significantly decreasing
grazing area
Impact to fish and other aquatic organisms in the Gore was also raised as an issue
The formaldehyde and nitrogen generated by buried bodies is toxic to fish species Be
cause soils are relatively porous in the area there is a potential for release of formaldehyde
andnitrogen However based on the number of bodies that may be buried on the site the
rate of release would be so slow that the risk of contamination is very low OntarioMinistryoftheEnvironment1992
Mitigation It is recommended that existing trees be maintained to maintain habitat and to
ensure soil stability The current design plan would minimize the need for tree removal
and work well within the natural landscape Additional planting of aspens andconiferous
trees around the site could provide an increased edge effect for the siteand potentially
increasethe value of the site for wildlife habitat
Surface Water
Surface water was a concern because of the proximity of the proposed site to the
Gore Creek There may be some increased sedimentation during the construction of the
gravel road into the parking area However this would be temporary and not be of a
significant amount The planned road would providestable tire tracks into the site and
grasses would be planted in between the tire tracks No significant increase in run off is
4
expected Overall there would be minimal site disturbance and site drainage would not be
negatively impacted
Mitigation Maintain vegetative cover New plantings should be indigenous to the area
and have low water requirements
Ground Water
There is a risk of groundwater contamination from underground burials This
environmental area is a concern because there are two groundwater well along the Gore
approximately 400 meters and 450 meters from the proposed underground burial area
As mentioned previously formaldehyde nitrates and phosphate are produced from burial
areas Formaldehyde is an animal carcinogen and is also toxic to humans Although drink
ing water standards have not be set by the EPA for formaldehyde experts recommend a
safe standard to be 110 microgramsL ppb Tomkins et al
The site maYalso contribute to aquifer recharge used by the groundwater wells
Therefore there is apotential pathway for formaldehyde and nitrates to contaminate drink
ing water However there is little or no risk that concentrations would pose a threat to
drinking water sources based on an analysis of groundwater impacts from the Ontario
Ministry of the Environment This study concluded that the rate of release of contaminates
from a cemetery with 500 burials with porous soils was so slow and at such low concentra
tions that there was no threat to groundwater resources The proposed Donovan cemetery
would only have an estimated 180 underground burials within 100 years
Mitigation The potential for groundwater contamination is extremely low with the current
design plan of 180 underground burials If the number of underground burials exceeds
500 it would be prudent to install ground water monitoring stations between the cemetery
and the two ground water wells The number and location of the monitoring stations
would require a more site specific analysis by a professional hydrogeologist and be coordi
nated with Upper Eagle Valley Sanitary District Upper Eagle Valley is currently re
viewing the cemetery plan to determine if they see any potential impacts to their
Groundwater wells They will notify TOV by December 61992to informs us of any
concerns they alight have Inaddition Every effort should also be made to use plants
with low water requirments to minimize the need for watering and to reduce demand on
groundwater supplies
VI Conclusion
Based on the current design plan no significant impact is anticipated from the devel
opment of a cemetery at Donovan Park With planned landscape enhancements there may
be a beneficial impact for wildlife habitat by increasing cover around the site The only
potential for environmental impact is from groundwater contamination However based
on the number of underground burials projected for the site the concentration and rate of
discharge would be eL mely low and not pose a threat to drinking water Therefore
based on the current design plan no additional environmental analysis is necessary at this
time

Re Town of Vail Cemetery Ground Water Impacts
Dear Mr Forrest
The Ground Water Unit of the Water Quality Control Division Division has reviewed the material yousubmittedpertainingtothesitingof180buriaiplots
Based upon this material and what other information could be obtained on this subject it does not
appear that there is a likelihood for ground water to be impacted over the next 100 years as the 180
plots are occupied The landscape around the burial plots is not a traditional landscape in that there
will be little grass that is fertilized and Irrigated The only irrigation that will occur is to the trees for three
years to establish them After this time there will only be natural wetting of the cemetery due to rainfall
and snowmelt Hence it is anticipated that little Impact will occur from formaldehyde embalming
solution contains only two percent formaldehyde or approximately 14 quart of formaldehyde fora body
weighing 150 lbs or nitrate nitrogen is released at a very gradual and Insignificant rate as the body
decomposes plus there is to be no fertilization of the cemetery landscape
The division strongly recommends that an annual sample be taken from the two wells during low flow in
Gore Creek which would probably be during September through March timeframe The wells should be
sampled for nitrate as nitrogen and formaldehyde It is particularly important to take background
samples for these two parameters prior to interment of the first body Any Increase from the
background analysis data Is to be sent to the division In a report Indicating all the background data the
sample data demonstrating the Increase and any likely sources of nitrateformaldehyde other than the
cemetery

INTRODUCTION
For many years the Vail community has discussed designating land
within the town limits as a Town Cemetery and in 1986 the Vail Land1UsePlanidentifiedthroughpublicopinionsurveysandaseries
of public meetings that a Town Cemetery was a priority item for
1 the citizens of Vail
In order to address the provision of a cemetery within the Town of
Vail theTown Council selected Peter Jamar Associates Inc to con
duct under the direction of the Vail CemeteryCommittee and the1DepartmentofCommunityDevelopmentasiteanalysisofpossible
locations and make recommendations regarding the suitability of
those sites for use as a cemetery This report represents the
results of the site analysis and represents the findings of the
Cemetery Committee
BACKGROUNDMETHODOLOGY1
As a first step in the processof selecting a suitable site for a
cemetery it was important to first compile a list of sites within
the town which might possess the general characteristics suitable
for this type of land use Once the list was compiled it was deter
mined that a simple onsite review of each of the sites could indicate
whether any given site appeared to possess characteristics which
would warrant further more detailed analysis
The Town of Vail Land Use Plan completed in 1986 identified four
sites which would potentially be suitable for use as a cemeteryi
1
1 2
These sites were identified based upon the factthat they appeared
to possess general characteristics suitable for cemetery use 1
suitability of terrain 2 good drainage 3 proximity to water
sources and 4 accessibility
These four siteswere
Parcel H A 40 acre tract of land owned by the ForestService
located in East Vail partially under an elevated section ofI40
Mountain Bell Tract A 25 acre tract of land currently owned by
the Town of Vail andMountain Bell upon which the telephone micro
wave transmitting facility and preschool facilities are located
Ste0ensPro0erty A parcel of land currently owned by the Town
of Vail located at the east entrance into the Intermountain Subdivi
sJ on
Donovan Park Parcel The portion of Donovan Park known as the
Upper Bench and located between Matterhorn and Glen Lyon Subdivisions
While the Land Use Plan identified these as potential sites the
Plan did not since it is meant to be a general document include
any detailed analysis of these sites and pointed out that eachsite
possessed unresolved questions that were in need of further study
In addition to the four sites identified in the Land Use Plan the
1 Department of Community Development and Cemetery Committee identified
an additional nine sites both publicly and privately owned within
the Gore Valley which they believed should be considered in terms
of their potential for further study as suitable sites for a cemetery
3
These sites were reviewed onsite by the Department of Community
Development in order to determine whether each site appeared to
warrant detailed analysis and further study Owners of the private
sites were also contacted to determine whether they had any interest
in the Town considering their land as suitable for the cemetery
These onsite investigations revealed that of the nine sites iden
tified only three wereworthy of further study A brief descrip
tion of these nine sites and thefindings of the initial onsite
review is as follows
Site lot 14 Intermountain Subdivision
Description A privately owned 13 acre parcel located at the
top of the Intermountain Subdivision in West Vail at the end of
SnowberryDrive
Potential Suitability Poor poor access and limited flat area
FurtherStudy No
Site Ulbrich Property
Description A 47 acre privately owned tract of land located
to the west of the Vail Ridge Subdivision
Potential Suitability Poor very limited amount of flat land
Further Study No
Site Highland Meadows Parcel
Description An undeveloped portion of the Highland Meadows
Subdivision adjacent to Vermont Road and Meadow Brook Drive
Potential Suitability Poor multiple ownership known poor sub
surface soil conditions for cemetery
Further Study No1
Site Katsos Ranch Parcel
Description The eastern end of the 146 acre public property
purchased by the Town of Vail in 1977
Potential Suitability Good flat adequate access
Further Study Yes
Site Spraddle Creek
Description 27 acres privately owned locateddon the north
side of the main Vail Interchange
Potential Suitability Poor owner not interested in sitebeing
considered
Further Study No

Site Lionsridge Parcel
Description 26 undeveloped duplex lots held in one single
private ownership located on 13 acres south of Lions Ridge Loop
Potential SuitabilityGood good acess relatively flat
FurtherStudy Yes

Site Vail Das Schone
Description Anunplatted parcel of privately owned land located
between Vail Das Schone Shopping Center and the Brandess Building
Potential Suitability Poor commercial character of area very
high acquisition cost
r Further Study No
Site Potato Patch Parcel
Description An area ofForest Service land above the Potato
Patch Subdivision which is the site of two water storage tanks
Potential Suitability Poor limited usable area
Further Study No1
6
Site Timberfalls Parcel
Description A 75 acre parcel of privately owned land adjacent
to Nugget Lane in East Vail
Potential Suitability Good good access flat area
Further Study Yes
Based upon the preliminary analysis then three of these sites
were selected for further study Lionsridge Parcel Katsos Ranch
Parcel and Timberfalls Parcel In addition three of the four sites
previously identified within the Vail Land Use Plan were selected
for further study The fourth site the Mountain Bell Tract was
determined not to warrant further study due to size limitations
The large amount of this parcel which is occupied by the Mountain
Bell and preschool facilities results in very little usable space
for a cemetery Therefore a total of six sites were selectedto
be subjectto the next level of analysis These sites are depicted
upon the Location Map on the following page
SITEANALYSISSUITABILITY
In order to determine which of the six candidate sitesidentified
in the preliminary analysis was the most favorable for the cemetery
a list of design objectives was compiled The eleven design objec
t tives or criteria were as follows
1 The site must be of an adequate size and shape to accommodate
the cemetery
7
2 The site must be relativelyflat in order to allow site con
structionexcavation and to reduce maintenance costs
3 Soil conditions should be suitable for excavation Good quality
topsoil will be an asset
4 Geologic Hazards flood plain avalanche debris flow rockfall
should not constitute any constraint upon development of the site
that cannot be mitigated
5 Access to the site for both pedestrians and vehicles should
bereadilyavailable
6 The site should provide the abilityfor the parking of vehicles
7 Water and electrical service should be available Sewerservice
is not mandatory but preferred
8 The relationship to surrounding properties should be such that
potential conflicts are minimal
9 Expansion potential of the site is not mandatory but will be
an asset to the site
10 The aesthetic qualities of the site should be wellsuited to
the establishment of the site for cemetery usei
11 The acquisition cost of the site should be minimal
8
The size of the cemetery is one factor which is difficult to deter
mine in exact terms due to the large number of variables which will
dictate the utilization of the cemetery Issues such as the number
of burials per year the number of burials versus cremation the
number of burials currently located elsewhere which might be moved
to Vail in the future andthe number of nonpermanent residents
that might choose burial in Vail are difficult to estimate For
planning purposes it was assumed that an adequate site to serve
Vail s future needs should possess at least 5 acres of land suitable
for cemetery use
The next step in the planning process was to conduct a detailed
site analysis of the identified sites This entailed preparation
of base maps for each site a thorough review of the existing con
ditions upon each site and mapping of these existing conditions
Soils testing was also completed and on one site Katsos Ranch
a detailed analysis of the 100 Year Flood Plain was completed
A point scale was developed for use when comparing each site to
the identified eleven factors
Points Meanina
3 Positive impact strong correlation orno anti
cipated problems
2 Neutralslight impact moderate correlation or no
major problems
1 Potential negative impact weak correlation or
anticipated problems
0 Negative impact no correlation known problems
9
When points were applied to each factor for each site the highest
scoring sites represent the most suitable for a cemetery and the
lowest scoring sites represent the least suitable
The following section describes the generalcharacteristics of each
site the sites ability to meet each ofthe eleven identified
factors and the sites corresponding point total

The Donovan Park Parcel is well suited for a cemetery for the fol
lowing reasons
1 The site contains enough usable landto meet the needs of the
Vail community for many many years The site is large enough to
provide ample bufferingto surrounding land uses
1 2 The physical characteristics of the site are excellent The
siteis relatively flat and possesses very goodsoil characteristics
for excavation
3 All utilities are currently available to the siteaccess is
readily available andthe site is currently ownedby the Town of
Vail The cost of utilizing this site will be minimal
4 The site is aestheticallypleasing

The following issues and alternatives regarding design
management and financingfor the purpose of this report assumes
that Donovan Park is thepreferred location These issues still
exist with any other siteor location
DESIGN
The cemetery Committee and theTown Council have discussed
conceptual designstyle The desire of both groups is to
maintain the natural features and plantings of the chosen
site to the greatestextent possible Cemetery design and
improvements would be of a very lowkey nature The
specificdesign needs regarding interior roads gravesite
access footpaths etc are all issues that will needtobe
addressed and are somewhat dependent upon other design and
management issues
Monumentation
Monumentation may be limited to no markers flush markers
or upright monuments Thecurrent position of the Cemetery
Committee is to restrict monumentation to flush markers
This decision will somewhat impact landscaping and
maintenance design and operations1Parkincr
Parking for the Donovan Park site would be best
accommodated by the widening and paving of the existing
Matterhorn Loop Road Utilization of the existing road for
parking is in harmony with the concept of a lowkeydevelopmentscenarioforthissiteAdefinedparking area
could be developed to focus the entrance to the cemetery
On Site Services
I The decision to allow or to have the ability to perform
y graveside burial services is an option that will require
designing substantial physical accessways to each
gravesite This issue is a management decision which is
important to be determined prior to final design
Another option that is available is to construct a platform
concrete brickpavers gravel etc near the entrance to
the cemetery in a very accessible location upon which a
temporary structure tent or awning could be erected for
specific services A small permanent memorial structure to
serve this purpose is also an option to be considered
Creating a central location for these memorial services
does eliminate the need for extensive accessways to be
designed into the cemetery site plan
19
Cremains and Memorials
Again this is a combination of design and managementdecisionsbutanoptionthathasbeendiscussedamong the
committee is reserving a portion of the site as a cremains
andor memorial area At the Donovan Park site this could
consist of a primitive pathway through the aspen grovewhereurnsmaybeplacedorsmallmarkersforrepresentingbelovedburiedelsewherecouldbeinstalledThispathwaycouldcontainbenchesandotherpleasantaestheticdesignfeatures
DESIGN RELATED ISSUES
Winter burials
Although not really a design issue the design andmanagementissuesareintertwinedandrequirecoordinated
planning Research has indicated that winter burials are
possible in this region Although access to and preciselocationofspecificsitesisverydifficultmanycommunitiesBreckenridgeasanexampleallowwinter
burialsin a limited area close to an access road
Families or those with presold plots may wish to wait
until Spring for internment This allows a greater choice
in plot location Mortuaries may handle storagerequirementsuntilspringinternment
Plot sales
Plots may be sold in two ways
1 plots including lots which consist of a grouping of
ten plots may be sold in advance Utilization of this
method of plot sales while allowing reservedplots and
family groupings may create a scattered developmentpattern
2 plots are sold on an as need basis with no reserved
plots or family groupings allowed While this may not be
the desired choice of families or of certain individualsitdoesallowacoordinatedphasedevelopmentofthe
cemetery site
The decision on whether winter burials are allowed or not maydependuponthisissue
Vaults
Many cemeteries require the use of concrete vaults to
prevent soil subsidence The use of vaults also allows the
distance between graves to be minimized Cemeteries may or
may not allow a gravesite to be utilized in attackedmannerietwovaultstoasite
20
There is also a precast vault system that is available in
cemetery construction This method of construction
requires that the entire site be graded concrete vaults
would be installed removable lids would be installed and
topsoil would be placed over the vaults and revegetated
This method minimizes excavation and opening and closing
costs during operational use of the cemeteries existence
It does however greatly increase upfront development
costs
Religious and special interest croups
Research of other cemeteries has indicated that it is not
uncommon for specific areas of a cemetery to be reserved
for members of certain religious or special interest
groups ie Catholics veterans masons etc This may or
may not include a pauper section in the cemetery Again
this is a management decision that does affect other
decisions such as winter burial and preselling of sites
Zoning
Cemeteries are allowed as a conditional use in the
Agricultural andOpen Space zone district Donovan Park
the preferred site is zoned Agricultural and Open Space so
aconditional use permit would be required A second and
third alternative site as designated in the site selection
report are currently zoned for residential use and in
order to accommodate a cemeteryrequire rezoning to
Agricultural and Open Space zone districtand a conditional
use permit
II MANAGEMENT
Cemetery Committee has recognized and must evaluate four
possible management scenarios
1 private
2 municipal
3 special district
4 municipalpublic trust
1 Private
This type ofmanagementoption was discussed in a 1978
proposal to the Vail Town Council Although this specific
proposal is no longer valid the basic conceptzemains the
same and a similar type of relationship could possibly be
negotiated with a private party
21
A management company or group would provide the following
1 form a corporation or partnership for development and
management of the cemetery
2 physically develop the site
3 construct maintenance facilities
4 provide management to operate and maintain the
cemetery
5 operate a counseling and sales office somewhere within
the community
The Town of Vail would be required to provide the
following
1 a suitable site
2 procure zoning and necessary permits
3 provide necessary utilities
Unless a very specific contract was written the Town of
Vail would have very little control over design operation
and cost of the cemetery
2 Municipal
Under this management option the Town of Vail would
develop own and operate the cemetery An administrator
would be required which may or may not be afulltime
position The Town of BreckenrigaiA1 4 th 47nstark
for record kee9 e the pub l i n mnrk5
ner bad1es mininmmainte ance which includes somelandscapingandsnowremtlInternmentsareprovieTby
privateexcav Sts hired by the parties involved
Many municipalities utilize a more active method of
management and seem to be fairly evenly split between
cemetery responsibilities Some city cemeteries are
managedbythe parks and recreations department some by
the public works depaLent These cemeteries have a
fulltime administrator and utilize municipal employees and
equipment for landscaping snow removal and excavation
requirements The fulltime administrator would handle
record keeping and plot sales and would run the daytoday
management of the cemeteries Research indicates that
municipal cemeteries generally operate at a loss andare
often supportedby general fund budgeting The following
set of tables is taken from a Colorado Municipal League
Report regarding municipal cemeteries These tables
contain information on financing and management issues and
provide great comparisons of different alternatives
available to municipal cemeteries
22
3 Special District
The Town of Vail lies within an existing cemetery district
The Minturn cemetery district was formed in the 194Os and
the boundaries as shown were consistent with 1940s School
District Area No 11 This area includes Vail Minturn a
small portion of eastern EagleVail and a great deal of
ranch and public land north of Vail The 1988 assessed
evaluation of the district is 329377180
The 1988 assessed evaluation of the Town of Vail is
295576510 which indicates that Vail represent 897of
the assessed Minturn cemetery district The currentmill
levy of the district is 025 which nets the districtt8234annuallyThecostper100000ofresidential
market value is 450
To increase the district budget to a revenue of 150000
annually a mill levy of 444 would need to be set This
mill levy increase would cost 8190 per 100000 of market
value residential property The district would of course
be responsible for maintaining the existing Minturn
cemetery as well as the development management and
maintenance of a new Vail cemetery
The Minturn Cemetery District is governed by a board of
three appointed by the county commissioners A seat on
this threemember board has a term of six years All seats
are currently held by Minturn residents Expiration dates
of those seats are 1990 1992 and 1994
The Town of Vail attorney has researched thelaws regarding
cemetery districts and from all indications it appears that
removal from a cemetery district is a difficult if not
impossible task In order to utilize the existing
cemetery district to develop a Vail cemetery it is assumed
that it would be necessary for a Vail interest to control
the cemetery district board This would require that
citizens interested in pursuing this concept be appointed
to the cemetery board as openings arise
4 MuniciualTrust Arrangement
This management option would operate similar to the
municipal cemetery in that the Town of Vail would own the
land and pay for the development costs However an
appointed boardor perhaps a group such as the Vail
Religious Foundation would operate the cemetery This
board would dictate the major design and management
decisions as well as handle daytoday operations The
Town Council would still have ultimate control over the
board and budget process yet would be one step removed
from the political aspects of the cemetery management
Further details regarding this type of operation would need
to be negotiated upon by the two groups that were a party
to this interest

these alternatives would require a vote of the generalelectorate

an alternative for startup financing
Donations from citizens of the crunityor other sources

COLORADO LAW
County Cemetary Districts CRS 3020801 thru 3020807
CRS 3020806 TAXATION The BOCC is authorized to levy
a tax not to exceed two 2 mills so certified to it by said
cemetary district against all taxable property within said cemetary
district which tax shall be collected by the county treasurer If
the district embraces the entire county the BOCC is authorized to
appropriate from the general fund money for this purpose and no
special tax shall be made
Colorado law addresses what the County can and cannot do in
establishing a district cemetery The statutes specifically lay
out the taxing structure and provide for a tax of no more than two
2 mills
Colorado Law is less specific with regards to what a town can
and cannot do with regards to establishing a cemetery The
statutes do not address the taxing structure but rather a special

address the taxing of the towns people
