NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL,
COLORADO, THAT:
Section l. Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1987, is hereby repealed and reenacted with
amendments to read as follows:
Section 1. Amendment Procedures Fulfilled, Planning Commission Report.
The approval procedures prescribed in Chapter 18.40 of the Vail Municipal Code have
been fulfilled, and the Town Council has received the report of the Planning and
Environmental Commission recommending approval of the proposed development plan for
Special Development District No. 16.
Section 2. Special Development District No. 16. _
Special Development District No. 16 (SDD 16) and the development plan therefore,
are hereby approved for the development of Phase III, The Valley, part of Parcel A,
Lion's Ridge Subdivision Filing No. 2, within the Town of Vail consisting of 3.6
acres.
Section 3. Purpose
Special Development District 16 is established to ensure comprehensive development
and use of an area that will be harmonious with the general character of the Town
of Vail. The development is regarded as complimentary to the Town by the Town
Council and meets all design standards as set forth in Section 18.40 of the
Municipal Code. As stated in the staff inemorandum dated June 8, 1987, there are
significant aspects of Special Development District 16 which are difficult to
satisfy through the imposition of the standards of the Residential Cluster zone
district. SDD 16 allows for greater flexibility in the development of the land
than would be possible under the current zoning of the property. In order to help
preserve the natural land scenic features of this site, building envelopes will be
established which designate the areas upon the site in which development will
occur. The establishment of these building envelopes will also permit the phasing
of the development to proceed according to each individual owner's ability to
construct a residence. SDD16 provides an appropriate development plan that
maintains the unique character of this site given the difficult site constraints
which must be addressed in the overall design of the project.

not any sale, service, or commodity is exempt from taxation under Section 3.40.180,

seller shall thereupon issue to the purchaser a receipt or certification, on forms
furnished by the Finance Department, showing the names of the seller and the
purchaser, the items purchased, the date, price, amount of tax paid, and a brief
statement of the claim of exemption. The purchaser thereafter may apply to the
Finance Director for a refund of such taxes, and it is then the duty of the Finance
Director to determine the question of exemption. The purchaser may request a
hearing pursuant to Section 3.40, and the final determination of the Finance
Director may either be appealed to the District Court pursuant to Section 3.40 or
the Department of Revenue pursuant to Section 3.40.
(f) The Town's sales tax shall not apply to the sale of tangible personal
property at retail or the furnishing of services if the transaction was previously

statutory or home rule municipality equal to or in excess of the sales tax required
to be paid pursuant to Section 3.40.140. A credit shall be granted against the
Town's sales tax with respect to such transaction equal in amount to the lawfully

materials, labor, and service, and the profit thereon, included in the price charged

Section 3.40.120 a tax at the rate of four percent (4%) of the amount of the sale,
to be computed in accordance with the schedules or systems set forth in the rules
and regulations prescribed therefor. Said schedules or systems shall be designed so
that no such tax is charged on any sale of twenty-four cents ($.24) or less.
(3) (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection (3),
retailers shall add the tax imposed, or the average equivalent thereof, to the sale
price or charge, showing such tax as a separate and distinct item, and when added,

the same manner as other debts.
(b) Any retailer selling malt, vinous, or spirituous liquors by the drink
may include in his sales price the tax levied under this Chapter 3.40, except that
no retailer shall advertise or hold out to the public in any manner, directly or
indirectly, that such tax is not included as a part of the sales price to the
consumer. The schedule referred to in subsection (2) of this Section shall be used
by such retailer in determining amounts to be included in such sales price. No such
retailer shall gain any benefit from the collection or payment of such tax, nor

-13-
each payment that portion of the total tax which the amount paid bears in relation
to the total purchase price.
(2) If the retailer transfers, sells, assigns, or otherwise disposes of an
account receivable, then he shall be deemed to have received the full balance of the
consideration for the original sale and shall be liable for the remittance of the
sales tax on the balance of the total sale price not previously reported, except
that such transfer, sale, assignment, or other disposition of an account receivable
by a retailer to a closely held subsidiary, as defined in Section 3.40.020 (28)(k),
shall not be deemed to require the retailer to pay the sales tax on the credit sale
represented by the account transferred prior to the time that the customer makes
payment on said account. ,
3.40.160. Bad Debt Charge-Offs. Taxes paid on gross taxable sales
represented by accounts found to be worthless and actually charged off for income
tax purposes may be credited upon a subsequent payment of the tax provided in this

compliance with the following conditions precedent: Applications for refund shall
be made within sixty (60) days after the purchase of the goods or services whereon

(2) Upon receipt of an application, the Finance Director shall examine the
same with due speed and shall give notice to the applicant by order in writing of
his decision thereon. Aggrieved applicants, within thirty (30) days after such
decision is mailed to them, may petition the Finance Director for a hearing on the
claim in the manner provided in Section 3.40.270 and may either appeal to the
District Court in the manner provided in Section 3.40.280 or to the Department of

refund under this Chapter 3.40 shall not be assignable, and except as provided in
subsection (4) of this Section, such application for refund must be made by the same
person who purchased the goods or services and paid the tax thereon as shown in the
invoice of the sale thereof.

paid by another person, the purchaser, on a purchase made on behalf of the person
entitled to an exemption; (ii) a refund has not been granted to such purchaser; and
(iii) the person entitled to the exemption paid or reimbursed such purchaser for
such tax. The burden of proving that sales, services, and commodities on which tax

of proof as set forth in the rules and regulations prescribed therefor. No such
refund shall be made or credit allowed in an amount greater than the tax paid.

of this Section, except that the proceeds of any such claim for a refund shall first

against the claimant before allowance of such clai.m by the Finance Department, and
further except that if such excess payment of tax moneys in any period is discovered
as a result of an audit by the Finance Department, and deficiencies are discovered
and assessed against the Taxpayer as a result of such audit, then such excess monies
shall be first applied against any deficiencies outstanding to the date of the
assessment but shall not be applied to any future tax liabilities.
(6) If any person is convicted under the provisions of this Section, such
conviction shall be prima facie evidence that all refunds received by such person
during the current year were obtained unlawfully, and the Finance Director is
empowered to bring appropriate action for recovery of such refunds. A brief summary
statement of the above-described penalties shall be printed on each form for a
refund.
V. ENFORCEMENT _
3.40.200. Recovery of Taxes, Penalty and Interest.
(1) All sums of money paid by the purchaser to the retailer as taxes imposed
by this Chapter 3.40 shall be and remain public money, the property of the Town, in
the hands of such retailer, and he shall hold the same in trust for the sole use and
benefit of the Town until paid to the Finance Director, and for failure to so pay to
the Finance Director, such retailer shall be punished as provided herein.
(2) (a) If a person neglects or refuses to make a return in payment of the
sales tax or to pay any sales tax as required by this Chapter 3.40, then the Finance
-19-
Director shall make an estimate, based upon such information as may be available, of
the amount of taxes due for the period for which the Taxpayer is delinquent and
shall add thereto a penalty equal to the sum of fifteen dollars ($15) for such
failure or ten percent (10%) thereof and interest on such delinquent taxes at the
rate imposed under Section 3.40.230 plus one-half percent (112%) per month from the
date when due, not exceeding eighteen percent (18%) in the aggregate.
(b) Promptly thereafter, the Finance Director shall give to the
delinquent Taxpayer written notice of such estimated taxes, penalty, and interest,
which notice shall be sent by first-class mail directed to the last address of such
person on file with the Finance Department. Such estimate shall thereupon become a
notice of deficiency. Within thirty (30) days after the notice of deficiency is
mailed, the Taxpayer may petition the Finance Director for a hearing in the manner
provided in Section 3.40.270 and either may appeal the the District Court as
provided in Section 3.40.280 or to the Department of Revenue as provided in Section
3.40.290.
(3) (a) If any taxes, penalty, or interest imposed by this Chapter 3.40 and
shown due by returns filed by the Taxpayer or as shown by assessments duly made as
provided in this Section are not paid within five (5) days after the same are due,
then the Finance Director shall issue a notice, setting forth the name of the
Taxpayer, the amount of the tax, penalties and interest, the date of the accrual
thereof, and that the Town claims a first and prior lien therefor on the real and
tangible personal property of the Taxpayer except as to preexisting claims or liens
of a bona fide mortgagee, pledgee, judgement creditor, or purchaser whose rights
have attached prior to the filing of the notice as provided in this Section on
property of the Taxpayer, other than the goods, stock in trade, and business
fixtures of such Taxpayer.
(b) Said notice shall be on forms furnished by the Finance Department
and shall be verified by the Town Manager or by the Finance Director or any duly
qualified agent of the Town Manager or the Finance Director, whose duties are the
collection of such tax, and may filed in the office of the county clerk and recorder
in which the Taxpayer owns real or tangible personal property, and the filing of
such notice shall create a lien on such property in that county and constitute
notice thereof. After said notice has been filed, or concurrently therewith, or at
, any time when taxes due are unpaid, whether such notice shall have been filed or
not, the Finance Director may issue a warrant directed to any duly authorized
-20-
revenue collector, or the the sheriff of the county commanding him to levy upon,
seize, and sell sufficient of the real and personal property of the amount due
together with interest, penalties, and costs, as may be provided by law, subject to
valid pre-existing claims or liens.
(4) Such revenue collector or the sheriff shall forthwith levy upon
sufficient of the property of the Taxpayer or any property used by such Taxpayer in
conducting his retail business, except property made exempt from the tax lien
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.40.210(1)(b), and said property so levied
upon shall be sold in all respects with like effect and in the same manner as is
prescribed by law with respect to executions against property upon judgement of a
court of record, and the remedies of garnishment shall apply. The sheriff shall be
entitled to such fee in executing such warrants as are allowed by law for similar
services.
(5) Any lien for taxes as shown on the records of the county clerks and
recorders as provided in this Section, upon payment of all taxes, penalties, and
interest covered thereby shall be released by the Finance Director in the same
manner as mortgages and judgements are released.
(6) (a) The Finance Director may also treat any such taxes, penalties, or
interest due and unpaid as a debt due to the Town from the vendor. The return of
the Taxpayer or the assessment made by the Finance Director, as provided in this
Chapter 3.40 shall be prima facie proof of the amount due.
(b) To recover such taxes, penalties or interest due, the Finance
Director may bring an action in attachment, and a writ of attachment may be issued
to the sheriff. In any such proceedings, no bond shall be required of the Finance
Director, nor shall any sheriff require of the Finance Director an indemnifying bond
for executing the writ of attachment or writ of execution upon any judgement entered `
in such proceedings. The Finance Director may prosecute appeals in such cases
without the necessity of providing bond thereof. It is the duty of the Town
Attorney, when requested by the Finance Director, to commence action for the
recovery of taxes due under this Chapter 3.40, and this remedy shall be in addition
to all other existing remedies or remedies provided in this Chapter 3.40.
(7) In any action affecting the title to real estate or the ownership or
rights to possession of personal property, the Town may be made a party defendant
for the purpose of obtaining an adjudication or determination of its lien upon the
property involved therein. In any such action, service of summons upon the Finance
-21-
Director or any person of the office of the Finance Director shall be sufficient
service and shall be binding upon the Town.
(8) The Finance Director is authorized to waive, for good cause shown, any
penalty assessed as provided in this Chapter 3.40, and any interest imposed in
excess of the rate determined pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section shall be
deemed a penalty.
(9) If a Taxpayer pays for any tax imposed pursuant to this Chapter 3.40 by
check for which there are insufficient funds to cover such check, then the Finance
Director may assess a penalty against such Taxpayer as follows: (i) fifteen dollars
($15.00) for the first violation; (ii) thirty dollars ($30.00) for the second
violation; and seventy-five dollars ($75.00) for each additional violation. If a
penalty of thirty-five dollars ($35.00) or more has been assessed against a Taxpayer
by the Finance Director, then the Finance Director may require such Taxpayer to pay
all tax payments, whether due or to be due in the future, by certified funds,
cashier's check or cash. The penalty imposed by this Section 3.40.260(9) is in
addition to all other penalties imposed pursuant to this Chapter 3.40.
3.40.210. Tax Lien.
(1) (a) The sales tax imposed pursuant to Section 3.40.210 shall be a first
and prior lien upon the tangible personal property and business fixtures of or used
by any retailer under lease, title retaining contract, or other contract
arrangement, excepting stock of goods sold or for sale in the other liens or claims
of whatsoever kind or nature.
(b) Any retailer who sells out his business or stock of goods, or quits
business, shall be required to make out the return as provided in this Chapter 3.40,
within ten (10) days after the date he sold his business or stock of goods, or quit
business, and his successor in business shall be required to withhold sufficient
purchase money to cover the amount of said taxes due and unpaid until such time as
the former owner produces a receipt from the Finance Director showing that the taxes
have been paid or a certificate that no taxes are due.
(c) If the purchaser of a business or stock of goods fails to withhold
the purchase money as provided in paragraph (b) of subsection (1) and the taxes are
due and unpaid after the ten (10) day period allowed, he, as well as the vendor,
shall be personally liable for the payment of the taxes unpaid by the former owner.
Likewise, anyone who takes any stock of goods or business fixtures of or used by any
retailer under lease, title retaining contract, or other contract arrangement, by
-22-
purchase, foreclosure sale, or otherwise, takes the same subject to the lien for any
delinquent sales taxes owned by such retailer and shall be liable for the payment of
all delinquent sales taxes of such prior owner, not, however, exceeding the value of
property so taken or acquired.
(2) Whenever the business or property of any Taxpayer subject to this Chapter
3.40 shall be placed in receivership, bankruptcy, or assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or seized under distraint for property taxes, all taxes, penalties, and
interest imposed by this Chapter 3.40 and for which said retailer is in any way
liable under the terms of this Chapter 3.40 shall be a prior and preferred claim
against all the property of said Taxpayer, except as to preexisting claims or liens
of a bona fide mortgagee, pledgee, judgement creditor, or purchaser whose rights
shall have attached prior to the filing of the notice as provided in Section
3.40.200(3)(b) on the property of the Taxpayer, other than the goods, stock in
trade, and business fixtures of such Taxpayer. No sheriff, receiver, assignee, or
other officer shall sell the property of any person subject to this Chapter 3.40
under process or order of any court without first ascertaining from the Finance
Director the amount of any taxes due and payable under this Chapter 3.40, and if
there are any such taxes due, owing, or unpaid, it is the duty of such officer to
first pay the amount of said taxes out of the proceeds of said sale before making
payment of any moneys to any judgement creditor or other claims of whatsoever kind
or nature, except the costs of the proceedings and other preexisting claims or liens
as provided in this Section. For the purposes of this subsection (2), "Taxpayer"
includes "retailer".
3.40.220. Negligent or Intentional Tax Deficiency. If any part of the
deficiency in payment of the sales or use tax is due to negligence or intentional
disregard of authorized rules and regulations of the Town with knowledge thereof,
but without intent to defraud, there shall be added ten percent (10%) of the total
amount of the deficiency, and interest in such case shall be collected at the rate
imposed under Section 3.40.230 in addition to the interest provided by Section
3.40.240 on the amount of such deficiency from the time the return was due, from the
person required to file the return, which interest and addition shall become due and
payable ten (10) days after written notice and demand to such person by the Finance
Director. If any part of the deficiency is due to fraud with the intent to evade
the tax, then there shall be added one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of
the deficiency, and in such case, the whole amount of the tax unpaid, including the
-23-
additions, shall become due and payable ten (10) days after written notice and
demand by the Finance Director, and an additional three percent (3%) per month on
said amount shall be added from the date that the return was due until paid.
3.40.230. Interest Rate on Delinquent Taxes. When interest is required or
permitted to be charged under Sections 3.40.200(2), 3.40.220, 3.40.240(1), the
annual rate of interest shall be that rate of interest established by the State
commissioner of banking pursuant to Section 39-21-110.5 of the Colorado Revised
Statutes.
3.40.240. Interest on Underpayment, Overpayment, Nonpayment or Extensions of
Time for Payment of Tax.
(1) If any amount of sales or use tax is not paid on or before the last date
prescribed for payment, then interest on such amount at the rate imposed under
Section 3.40.230 shall be paid for the period from such last date to the date paid.
The last date prescribed for payment shall be determined without regard to any
extension of time for payment and shall be determined without regard to any notice
and demand for payment issued, by reason of jeopardy, prior to the last date
otherwise prescribed for such payment. In the case of a tax in which the last date
for payment shall be deemed to be the date that the liability for the tax arises,
and in no event shall such date be later than the date that notice and demand for
the tax is made by the Finance Director.
(2) Interest prescribed under this Section and Sections 3.40.200(2), 3.40.220
and 3.40.250 shall be paid upon notice and demand and shall be assessed, collected,
and paid in the same manner as the tax to which such interest is applicable.
(3) If any portion of a tax is satisfied by credit of an overpayment, then no
interest shall be imposed under this Section on the portion of the tax so satisfied
for any period during which, if the credit had not been made, interest would have
been allowed with respect to such overpayment.
(4) Interest prescribed under this Section and Sections 3.40.200(2), 3.40.220
and 3.40.250 on any sales tax may be assessed and collected at any time during the
period within which the tax to which such interest relates may be assessed and
collected.
3.40.250. Other Remedies. No provision of this Chapter 3.40 shall preclude
the Town from utilizing any other lawful penalties or other remedies applicable to
the collection of sales taxes.

(2) Within fifteen (15) days after filing a notice of appeal as provided in
this Section, the Taxpayer shall file with the District Court a surety bond in twice

-25-
the Court of Appeals of the State or after the time for such appeal has expired, the
funds deposited shall be, at the direction of the District Court, either retained by
the Finance Director and applied against the deficiency or returned in whole or part

of issuance of such writ. The Finance Director shall certify the record of his
proceedings to the District Court.

sales or use tax paid.
(3) The Taxpayer shall request the State hearing within thirty (30) days
after the Taxpayer's exhaustion of local remedies. The Taxpayer shall have no right
to such hearing if he has not exhausted local remedies, or if he fails to request
such hearing within the time period provided for in this subsection (3). For
purposes of this subsection (3), "exhaustion of local remedies" means:
(a) The Taxpayer has timely requested in writing a hearing before the
Finance Director, and the Finance Director has held such hearing and issued a final
decision thereon. Such hearing shall be informal, and no transcript, rules of
evidence or filing of briefs shall be required, but the Taxpayer may elect to submit
a brief, in which case the Finance Director may submit a brief. The Finance
Director shall hold such hearing and issue the final decision thereon within ninety
(90) days after the Finance Director's receipt of the Taxpayer's written request
therefor, except that the Town may extend such period if the delay in holding the
hearing or issuing the decision thereon was occasioned by the Taxpayer, but, in any
such event, the Finance Director shall hold such hearing and issue the decision
thereon within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Taxpayer's request in
writing therefor; or

RE: CHILDREN'S DOG SHOW
This is to let you know I am hosting a Children's Dog Show on
September 12 at 10:00 am by the Children's Fountain in Vail
Village.
There will be five categories for the children to enter.
There is no entry fee, and I am taking registrations at the r^ire
Station and on the day of the show. There will be ribbons awarded
to the contestants for first, second and third place in each
category. Tnere will also be "participant" ribbons for the rest
of the contestants and Milk Bones for all the dogs. I have two
volunteers who will be the judges.
I made posters advertising the show and distributed them
throughout the valley. I also made up several hundred flyers and -
gave them to the local schools and day care centers for the
cnildren to take home. I have given PSA's to KVMT, KRW, KZYR,
KEYQ, the Vail Trail, the Vail Daily and the ABC Times.
In addition to the shows activities, I have some displays
planned. I have free pet care information for both contestants
and spectators. I'm also having several posters emphasizing
responsible pet care and the joy of pet ownersliip. There will
also be a poster explaining the activities of Animal Control.
I am hoping that the show will give children and aciults the
chance to have fun with their dogs, while giving them the
opportunity to learn about pet ownership responsibility.
