Discussion with Paragon Guides regarding Rock Climbing Jim Olson Action Requested of Council: Give Paragon Guides feedback as to whether the Town would be willing to let Paragon use Town property to give rock climbing instruction. Background Rationale: Paragon asked for the opportunity to discuss using some rock formations located on Town property for beginning instruction. We have been pursuing Jim Olson of Paragon Guides for since March to obtain his business license. No permission should be granted until the license is paid for. Also, any approval should be dependent upon an agreement that they will indemnify the Town. 2:20 2. Discussion of a Request to Change the Name of Kinnikinnick Bobi Salzman Road back to Lupine Street Action Requested of Council: Determine whether or not the street name should return to the name of Lupine Street. Background Rationale: Beginning in 1984, the Fire, Police and Community Development Departments along with the Post Office and Vail Valley Emergency Medical worked on coordinating actual addresses with those shown on the Town address maps. The purpose of the project was to clear up many of the confusing address problems in the Town to ensure that emergency calls could be handled immediately and effectively as well as to provide for efficient mail delivery. In the case of Lupine Street, the Fire Department was extremely anxious to change the name of Lupine for safety reasons, as there is a Lupine Street in both East and West Vail. They had had an emergency call concerning a choking infant who lived on Lupine. The Fire Department went first to East Vail instead of West Vail, and 10 important minutes passed. The second reason was that Kinnikinnick and Lupine are one street. Originally, Lupine in West Vail ended in a cul-de-sac. A few years ago, the cul-de-sac was removed and the two streets became one. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Council keep the name "Kinnikinnick Road" because of the two reasons listed. 2:40 3. Discussion of Vail Institute and Vail Valley Foundation Ron Phillips Merger Background Rationale: Seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) of the $15,000 committed by Council to the Institute was actually paid. Harry Frampton has asked if the Town would give the remaining $7,500 to the Foundation to help defray the costs of the Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg concert since the Foundation has taken full financial responsibility over from the Institute. Staff Recommendation: Divert the $7,500 to the Foundation to support the Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg concert. 2:50 4. Information Update Ron Phillips 2:55 5.

Vail, Colo. 81657 / C ' Dear Larry, I'm writing to inquire about possible limited use of some open space property within the Townof Vail. We are interested in some of the land on tract A of the Lionsridge subdivision between the Valley, and Lionsridge loop. We are specifically interested in limited use of the sandstone rock on the parcel for some bouldering and introductory rock climbing for beginners. I have enclosed some:_information on our program, now in its 17th summer season. !Ne would recommend the USFS as a reference for our climbing programs. Rick Jewel is now the Recreation Supervisor. As noted, the use would be very limited. [~IJe would iYi-clude the Town as an additional insured. Thank you for your attention to our request. ~ Regar s, ~ ti f l~.r~'\1 r p~v \ A~~o 0.

Beginning in the summer of 1984 the Police, Fire, Community Development Departments, Post Office and-Vail Valley Emergency Medical worked on coordinating actual addresses with those shown on the Town address maps, putting numbers on homes without numbers and eliminating duplication of names. The purpose of the project was to clear up many of the confusing address problems in the Town to insure that emergency calls could be handled immediately and effectively as well as to provide for efficient mail delivery. Police, Fire, and the hospital emergency crews had all had difficulty in finding locations due to address problems. In March of 1985, residents affected by address changes were notified by mail. After two readings, the Town Council passed Ordinance 7 of 1985 which documented the changes made to the address map. In the case of Lupine Street, the Fire Department was extremely anxious to change the name of Lupine for two reasons. The first reason was safety. They had had an emergency call concerning a choking infant who lived on Lupine. The Fire emergency vehicle went first to east Vail instead of west Vail. By the time it was realized that the call had come from west Vail, 10 important minutes had passed. This problem resulted as the Town had two streets named Lupine, one in east Vail and one in west Vail. The second area of concern was that Kinnikinnick and Lupine are one street. Originally, Lupine ended in a cul-de-sac. A few years ago, the cul-de-sac was removed and the two streets became one. If the Town had chosen to retain the name "Lupine" rather than "Kinnikinnick," there still would have remained the confusion over the two Lupines. To answer your question concerning one number for the three buildings of Meadow Creek, the policy has been one number for each single piece of property. Since Meadow Creek has many buildings on one piece of property, only one number is used. ~ If, after reading this explanation for the change, you would like to discuss this issue with the Town Council, I will help you arrange to be on the Council agenda. In addition, I am sorry that your address has been changed three times and caused you problems. It was difficult to make these changes, as we understand how inconvenient it can be for property owners when addresses are changed. During the project, we did try to make changes that we felt were truly necessary in order to minimize problems for the community. I do hope this answers your concerns. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 476-7000. Sincerely, . ~ . Betsy R~ olack Planning Technician Y' . ' , ^ ~ ~ . ~n ti a / . ~ .
