Re: Unapproved roofing material
Keeping junk(vehicle not moved in more than 30 days)
Rubble Storage
Dear Jane and Dennis:
One of the many functions of Code Enforcement is to provide for the enforcement of the Town of
Vail Municipal Codes.
It has come to our attention that the above-described property may be in violation of the Town of
Vail Municipal Codes as follows:
Reported Violation(s): You have a roofing material covering a large section of your
roof. You are storing a vehicle which may be considered a junk vehicle if it does
not run on its own power. You have tires and car parts being stored along the
stream bank.
Section 12-11-3 (DESIGN APPROVAL)of the Town Code states, in part,that:
A. Scope: No person shall commence removal of vegetation, site preparation, building
construction or demolition, dumping of material upon a site, sign erection, exterior
alteration or enlargement of an existing structure, paving, fencing or other
improvements of open space within the corporate limits of the Town unless design
approval has been granted as prescribed in this Chapter.
Section 5-1-3 (KEEPING JUNK)of the Town Code states, in part, that:
The storing or keeping by any person within the Town of any old articles or materials
which may be classified as junk, adjacent to or in close proximity to any public building,
public park or grounds, business buildings or residences without first providing fully
enclosed buildings for the storage of the same, shall be deemed a public nuisance. It is
specifically provided that trash, garbage and refuse and trash, garbage and refuse
containers, barrels and cans must be obscured from view and not accessible to
scavenging animals. It is further specifically provided that 'junk" as referred to in this
Chapter shall be expressly deemed to include, without limitation, any motor vehicle that
is incapable of operation under its own power. A motor vehicle shall be presumed
incapable of operation if it has remained in one location for a period in excess of thirty
(30)days. (Ord. 16(1968)§1: Ord. 15(1968)§1: Ord. 18(1966) §2(b))
Section 5-2-5 (RUBBLE STORAGE)of the Town Code states, in part, that:
Rubble need not be stored in refuse containers or refuse storage rooms, but shall not be
allowed to accumulate and shall be stored in such a manner as not to constitute or create
an unsanitary or unsightly condition or a health or fire hazard. (Ord. 4(1973)§4(b))
We are asking that you remove the unapproved roofing material (the plastic or rubber covering),
clean up the rubble located on your property (car parts, unstacked lumber) and provide proof that
the stored vehicle is currently capable of operating on its own power.
Please remedy this situation within 30 calendar days from receipt of this letter. Failure to do so
will result in a summons being issued. Because of recent events in your area (flood, access
problems) please contact me as soon as possible if more time is needed due to circumstances
beyond your control.
Your prompt attention regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated and will help assure that
Vail continues to be the desirable and pleasant resort community for which we all strive. Please
feel free to call me with any questions, comments or concerns you may have. My office phone
number is 970-477-3417.
Very Truly Yours,
David Rhoades, Code Enforcement Officer
