WNOFVAL I NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Date: May 1, 2018
Parcel #: 2101-122-26-004
Lot#: Village on Bighorn Creek, Filing 2, Lot H
Address: 4230 Spruce Way
Violation: Section 12-11-3 Design Approval
Linda and Kenneth Versman

Englewood, CO 80111
Dear Homeowner,
The property located at 4230 Spruce Way (Village on Bighorn Creek, Filing 2, Lot H) in the
Town of Vail, Colorado, appears to be in violation of Vail Town Code Section 12-11-3, Design
Approval. The Vail Town Code prohibits removal of vegetation and site preparation, within the
Town limits without prior design approval from the Town of Vail Design Review Board.
Specifically, it appears that the owners or occupants of 4220, 4230, 4240, and 4250 Spruce
Way have performed landscaping and stream work without a permit. We have reviewed the
Town of Vail permits and property files, and have found no permit for this work.
The dams created by the landscape work are leading to dramatic changes in reducing the water
supply to the downstream pond owned by Bighorn Mutual Sanitation and Recreation Co. at
4205 Columbine Drive. On April 27, 2018 the location was visited by Town of Vail Community
Development Department Staff, including the Planning and Environmental Divisions. Below are
photographs of the landscaping and stream work:

If you have obtained a permit for this work, please provide a copy of any approvals to the Town
of Vail. However, if you have not obtained Design Review Board approval, a permit will be
required. Failure to comply by obtaining a Design Review Board approval and to construct any
projects according to Town of Vail codes and approved plans could result in a citation and
summons to Municipal Court, which may result in criminal charges, a fine or both. However, we
would prefer to help you come into compliance with the Town's regulations and to avoid further
enforcement, if possible.
Please contact this office as soon as possible so this issue can be resolved quickly, without
further action being taken. I look forward to working with you to achieve compliance with the
Town Code.
Sincerely,
Justin Lightfield, Planner
