Re: The Crown Castle Hub Site 241 East Meadow Drive, Vail, CO 81657
To whom it may concern,
The Town of Vail (the “Town”) has received a letter of intent (the “letter”) from the
President of Aspen Wireless Jim Selby, a sub-contractor for Crown Castle, to install additional
equipment at the above-referenced Hub Site (attached). The Town of Vail has discussed
certain outstanding issues with both Crown Castle and Aspen Wireless and hereby responds to
Mr. Selby’s letter as follows.
As we have previously discussed, the Town is concerned that work has been done at
the Hub Site without Town approval and in violation of the terms of the lease and the Town
Building Code. Please be advised this practice is not acceptable and will no longer be tolerated
by the Town. As such, the Town will be forced to seek all available legal remedies if such
practice continues.
Despite these repeated violations, the Town will issue a building permit on or about
December 3, 2014 to allow Aspen Wireless to complete the Verizon hub installation. The permit
is issued with the Town’s express understanding that an engineered solution to solve the Hub
Site exhaust and HVAC cooling issue on the mezzanine level and walkway corridor as
discussed in Mr. Selby’s letter will be fully installed and operational to the Town’s satisfaction as
soon as practical, but no later than June 1, 2015.
Because any proposed solution to the HVAC cooling issue will need to be approved by
the Town and will likely require Design Review Board approval, the Town will need to see the
proposed, engineered solution for the Town’s review and comment no later than February 1,
2015. In addition, as the owner of the subject real property, the Town will need to sign any
development review application which is ultimately submitted to Town’s relevant reviewing
agencies. As such, and in consideration that there may be a requirement to amend the current
Conditional Use Permit, a final application package shall be prepared and presented to the
Town no later than March 15, 2015.
A failure to meet any of the dates above will be considered a violation of the underlying
lease and the Town of Vail will take all necessary steps to protect its property. Please contact
me immediately if you have any questions about this, or anything else.
Very truly yours,
John King, Facilities Manager
