BACKGROUND ON REQUEST In March of 1988, the Town of Vail approved Ordinance 6 of 1988 which amended the Ski Base/Recreation Zone District to allow the construction of the Children's Ski Center. The Children's Ski Center use was inserted as Section B - "Permitted Uses Within the Secondary Building" of the Ski Base/Recreation Zone District. This required a recodification of the following sections of the ordinance. As the result of a word processing error, several sections of the previously existing ordinance were deleted from the revised Ordinance No. 6. The Town of Vail, in recognizing this error, is requesting to replace these uses which were unintentionally deleted. These sections, which were deleted, read as follows in the Ski Base/Recreation District previous to March of 1988: Section 18.39.030 C. C 2. Before acting on multi-family dwelling units, the Planning Commission shall consider the following factors in regard thereto: a. Relationship and impacts of the use on development objectives of the Town.. b. Effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population, transportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation facilities, and other public facilities and public facilities needs.. c. Effect upon traffic, with particular reference to congestion, automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the streets and parking area. d. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is to be located, including the scale and bulk of the proposed use in relation to surround uses. 3. The Planning Commission shall make the findings set forth in 18.60.060 B. before permitting multi-family units within the main building. .... C D. The following uses shall be permitted outside the main building as shown on the approved development plan: 1. Ski trails, slopes and lifts 2. Snowmaking facilities 3. Bus and skier drop-off 4. Surface parking lots 5. Ski racing facilities 6. Public park, tennis and volleyball courts and playing fields 7. Water treatment and storage facilities 8. Mountain storage buildings 9. Ski school activities 10. Special community events 11. Food and beverage service In Ordinance No. 6 of 1988, these sections should have been included and should have been recodified to read Section 18.39.030 D.2,a.b.c.d., 3, and then followed by E., which describes the uses permitted outside the main building. The request is to amend Ordinance No. 6 of 1988 to reflect these inclusions. . II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommendation is for approval of the request. These sections of the ordinance were omitted by mistake. Their omission was not discussed or approved by .the Planning Commission or the Town Council, nor was it the intention of the staff or the Manning Commission or the Town Council to omit _ these sections e, This request is a correction to that ex~ro~ a.ra.d our recommendation is for approval.

A request for a side setback variance and a variance in order to cons Lodqe. Applicant: Robert Lazier ommon area on the Tivoli Betsy Rosolack explained the staff memo and said that the staff recommended approval. Jay Peterson, representing the applicant, stated that the applicant needed to build the stairway for safety purposes. When Bob Lazier built the six units to the west, the Building Department requested that he build a fire stairway on the east side of the building. Galen Aasland of John Perkins Architects showed a model of the stairway which included balconies. Jim Viele asked if the large evergreen to~the north of the stairway could be saved, and Galen answered that if the balconies are part of the construction, they would have to move the tree. Diana Donovan stated that she would rather see the tree remain and .eliminate the balconies. Diana moved to approve the request for setback and common area variances, stating the condition of strict or literal interpretation of the law but with the condition that the tree be left intact and the balconies be removed. Sid Schultz seconded the motion and the-vote was 7 to 0 in favor of the request. 2. Rick Pylman explained that in March the Planning Commission amended the Ski Base Recreation District to allow the Children's Center. During the process, the Town inadvertently left out section B which included the outdoor uses. Joe Macy, representing Vail Associates, stated that he approved of the amendment. Diana Donovan asked if Manor Vail's concerns had been taken care of. And Peter stated they had been and that when they realized there were no changes being made to the original ordinance, they were content.

Brandmeyer, Town Clerk -2- a TO; Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: November 28, 1988 '~ SUBJECT: A request to amend Chapter 18.71 of the Vail Municipal Zoning Code regarding additional 250 square feet of GRFA. Applicant: Town of Vail I. BACKGROUND Due to a recent appeal of a staff decision relating to the additional 250 square foot ordinance, the Planning Commission and Town Council have directed the staff to prepare revisions to this chapter of the zoning code. The recent controversy related to whether or not complete demolition and the subsequent building of a new house qualified for an additional 250 square feet of GRFA. The staff decision to deny the application was upheld by both the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council, but there was sentiment expressed toward revising the ordinance to allow such proposals to qualify for an additional 250 square feet. On October 25,` 1988, a joint meeting of the PEC/TC was ~~ held to discuss this ordinance. change.. The majority of - - PEC/TC members agreed. that. revisions to the ordinance ' ~ should be .made .to allow demolition/rebuild projects to h ..qualify for an_additional 250 square feet under Chapter _:18.71.,-.That.change (as .found in. revised 18.71.010 •' Purpose) is proposed as well as several other minor changes suggested by the-Town Attorney and other members "~, of the `PEC/TC. Larry Eskwith. felt that changes to the . - wording regarding individual dwelling units .were necessary to beyconsistent with-the definition section of. the zoning =' code and has .proposed rewording to refer to.single family . dwellings and dwelling units. Larry also felt that using the word,."building" rather than "structure" was more . ~ accurate in relation 'to the definition of 'building" as :. ._. ,~FQUn~1,.;Zx~;tk~R>_~®,n?.a°~:g codea,,..'~-.he.: ~rdna~ace: also would allow '~~ ~Ir. Chester go receive an additional 250 square feet due to proposed Section 18.71.050 allowing such proposals to now be approved under the revised ordinance. Finally, it was suggested that a multi-family project should be subject to additional landscaping and site reviews after a five year time period, and language to that effect has been proposed for 18.71.030 F. (p.4). II. EVALUATION OF CRITERIA FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE ZONING CODE A. Suitability of Existing Ordinance. 4 The 250 square foot ordinance has worked well for both the Town of Vail and the developers who have utilized it. The ordinance has certainly succeeded in addressing the very difficult issue of small GRFA additions which have no adverse impacts and provide significant building and site improvements in return. However, the issue of demolition/rebuild was never addressed in the ordinance and we feel that the issue now has received adequate discussion. We feel comfortable that demolition/rebuild should be allowed under the ordinance if, in return, the Town of Vail receives elimination of existing nonconformities - relating to uses and/or development standards as proposed in 18.71.020 C. The staff does not feel that it is a necessity to offer the 250 square feet of additional. GRFA in order to obtain the demolition/ rebuilds. We feel that this trend is only beginning in Vail and will continue in the. higher-end neighborhoods without the offering of an extra 250 square feet. However, in our opinion, the 250 square feet is a reasonable trade-off to receive conformities in other important .zoning standards such. as setbacks, height, site coverage, parking, landscaping, etc. - B. Is the amendment proposal presenting a convenient, workable relationship among land uses consistent with municipal ob-tectives? Indeed, the original 250 square foot ordinance was conceived to accomplish the objective of allowing small additions to existing houses. While allowing an additional 250 square .feet for a demo/rebuild project may confuse owners of .vacant, unbuilt properties as to why they don't benefit, the Town will achieve the benefits of conformance to other development standards in the single family and duplex zone districts. The proposed amendments are consistent with Land Use Plan Policy 1.3 which states, "The quality of development should be maintained and upgraded whenever possible." Also, Policy 5.1 appears to support allowing demo/ rebuilds: "Additional residential growth. should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist.' C. Does the an orderl vi proposal pr le communit side for the growth of We feel that there is no conflict between the revisions proposed and the growth of an orderly and viable community. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments to the 250 square foot ordinance (Chapter 18.71) of the zoning code. We feel comfortable with allowing demo/ rebuilds to qualify for additional 250 square feet as long as the Town receives the trade-off of the elimination of any nonconforming uses and/or development standards in the process. The staff also feels that the other minor changes to the ordinance serve to clarify and strengthen the ordinance in general. . One area :for. discussion. is to require a limited time :. period .after -demolition. to cc~nstruct_ the_ new: structure ox 1.ose_ .the, privilege, of- the. ac.diti9nal_ square footageo In other cords, is- it' _reasonable to -require the. new building . to be constructed within a year of when the building :permit is issued or .forfeit the additional 254 square feet (and the lot would revert back to regular zoning)? -. _.

Brandmeyer, Town Clerk -6- w TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: November 28, 1988 SUBJECT: Amendment to the Ford Park Master Plan APPLICANT: Vail Metropolitan Recreation District Board and Vail Town Council I. REQUEST The Vail Metropolitan Recreation District Board and Vail Town Council are jointly proposing an amendment to the Ford Park Master Plan. The amendment concerns the northeast area of Ford Park. Presently, the Master Plan indicates that this area should be developed for the aquatic facility with associated parking. All three softball fields would remain on the park. The existing 6 tennis courts on site would be removed to allow for the pool. When the plan was originally developed in 1984-85, the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District intended to establish Golden Peak as the tennis center for the community. For this reason, the Board had informally agreed to the removal of 6 tennis courts at Ford Park. Due to changes at Golden Peak, the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District Board would like to relocate as many of their courts on public land as possible to ensure that they will be available to the public in the future. The applicants have developed a two-phase proposal for the northeast corner of the park. Phase One would allow for the 6 existing courts to remain on site. Two new tennis courts would be added to the east of the existing courts in the area of .the snow dump. Two more courts would be located to the south of the existing western courts. These courts would be sunken and would serve as exhibition courts. A small tennis pro shop would also be located to the south of the existing courts. Parking would remain as is, with the east lot having approximately 145 spaces plus the existing west parking lot. The Vail Metropolitan Recreation District would like to locate the additional four courts on Ford Park this upcoming summer. Phase Two of the amendment calls for locating the indoor amusement pool and the outdoor recreational pool on the eastern softball field. Two softball fields would remain in the Master Plan given this design. Anew parking lot (117_c~3rs) is proposed to the west of the pool area. Total ,~ parking would equal 262 spaces. The bus turn-around would be located on the northeast corner of the pool building. A landscaped buffer would be located on the south side of the pool area to avoid conflicts with the Gerald R. Ford Amphi- theatre. II. BACKGROUND OF THE REQUEST The Vail Metropolitan Recreation District and Vail Town Council believe that this approach to the master planning for Ford Park makes better use of the existing amenities on site. It was felt that it was inappropriate to remove six existing courts from the park with the hope of rebuilding them somewhere else in the community. The Phase One plan allows for the existing courts to remain on site. The two boards also feel it is appropriate to locate public facilities on public land in order to avoid the pressures of private development. The VMRD also feels that 10 courts will be functional for tournaments and tennis camps. The aquatic facility has been scaled back to include the amusement pool, outdoor 50 meter recreational pool and support services. The deep pool has been removed from the proposal. The amusement pool requires an enclosure of approximately 24,000 square feet. Support space is equivalent to 9,000 square feet. The outdoor recreation pool is 50 meters by 70 feet wide and varies from 4 to 7 feet in depth. Hot tubs and a tot pool are also proposed. The two boards believe that the pool facility and tennis are very compatible activities. The dining areas and locker rooms have the potential to be jointly used by softball players, tennis players, and swimmers. III. PUBLIC INPUT In February 1986, the Vail Town Council appointed a Swimming Task Force to study the issue of building a municipal .swimming pool in Vail. A first-phase report was forthcoming in August of 1986. The Task Force concluded that a swimming pool was a valuable and desirable community asset. In particular, the Task Force recommended a multi- pool concept that would provide indoor and outdoor aquatic experience for training, competition and recreation uses. Emphasis was placed on designing a facility that could serve local residents and visitors. A second phase of research was commissioned which investigated the financial feasibility of the aquatic center, the level of community support for such a center, and the experience of other communities in developing recreational pools. The Task Force completed this report r in June of 1987. This planning process involved approximately four public meetings as well as many Task Force meetings. The Eagle County Recreation Action Plan also provided data from the Upper Eagle Valley survey and public meetings that indicated a swimming pool complex was a desired public improvement. The plan states, "A large indoor swimming pool appears to be the most sought-after public facility in Eagle County." (Eagle County Recreation Action Plan, p. 21) In addition, the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District sponsored a meeting on September 21, 1988 to specifically discuss the aquatic facility and the amendment to the Master Plan. There were over 40 members of the community at the meeting. General support was expressed for the aquatic facility. Several softball players who attended the meeting expressed their concern that before the eastern softball field is lost, the Town should ensure that new fields are provided down valley. On November 17, 1988, representatives from the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District and Town Council had an informal meeting with people involved with sports and activities who may be affected by the amendment plan. Representatives from the softball, tennis, swimming, the alpine garden, and amphitheatre/Nail Valley Foundation were invited to attend this meeting. There was. general support for the amendment and strong support for the idea of working diligently on a down-valley softball field complex. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Ford Park Master Plan. We believe that it is wise to utilize the existing 6 tennis courts at Ford Park and augment them in the future by adding an additional 4 courts.... It is also a positive idea to combine tennis and swimming on the northeast portion of the park. The utilization of both facilities will increase due to the close proximity of the two uses. The Vail Metropolitan Recreation District and Vail Town Council have expressed a strong commitment to work on the proposal to locate a softball field complex down valley. The Eagle County Recreation Task Force has determined that the softball complex is their primary issue. A Recreation Task Force meeting was held on November 18th. At this meeting, it was decided that 3 sites would be studied in detail for their potential to serve as a softball complex for the upper Eagle Valley. In addition, the Task Force hopes to schedule a public meeting in January 1989 in Avon. The meeting would serve as a public forum for Eagle County Commissioners to hear public comment on the issue of the softball field complex. Staff believes that the Ford Park Master Plan amendment provides a workable relationship among the various recreational and cultural activities at Ford Park. Although the Master Plan drawings are only conceptual, staff believes that both swimming and tennis can be located on the northeast portion of the park in a way that will still allow for much needed parking and adequate buffer space among the various uses. Staff believes that a substantial buffer between the amphitheatre is very important. We believe this design consideration can be fully addressed when the final design drawings are completed for the pool if it is approved by the public. We feel strongly that it is good planning to locate as many of the tennis courts as possible on public land to ensure that they will be available for. the community in the long term. A 10 court complex also solves the existing problem of running tennis camps and tournaments at a variety of valley locations. For these reasons, we recommend approval of the request to amend the Plan. Once the Planning Commission has reviewed this request, the proposal will be presented to the Town Council in the form of a resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 44 Series of 1988 A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE FORD PARK MASTER PAN WHEREAS, the Vail Town Council and Vail Metropolitan Recreation District believe that the amendments to the Ford Park Master Plan provide for a more effective way to develop Ford Park for the benefit of the Vail community; and WHEREAS, the Vail Town Council and Vail Metropolitan Recreation District are of the opinion that the Phase I amendment to utilize the on-site tennis courts with a provision to add an additional four courts and the Phase II amendment to locate the aquatic .facility on the eastern softball field are in accordance with effective park design and recreational needs of the community and efficient expenditure of public funds for park improvements; and WHEREAS, the amendments to the Ford Park Master Plan provide for recreational uses, access, and enjoyment of Ford Park by citizens-and guests of Vail; and WHEREAS, it is important to the success of the community to make every effort to maximize the use of the Town of Vail's recreational facilities and resources. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN EOUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Vail Town .Council hereby adopts the. Phase I and Phase II amendments to the Ford Park Master Plan as drawn by THK Associates, September 21, 1988. APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS DAY OF , 1988. Kent R. Rose, Mayor ATTEST: Pamela A. Brandmeyer, Town Clerk T0: Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: December 6, 1988 SUBJECT: A request for a sign variance for the Safeway market Applicant: Safeway Stores, Inc. I. THE REQUEST The Safeway Stores are requesting variances from the sign code with regard to the allowed number of signs and the amount of square footage permitted for signage. Safeway would like to add the word, "Marketplace" under the word, "Safeway." At present, the Safeway building has 3 signs. One sign is the "Safeway" sign of 19 square feet and two are logos of 32 square feet each for a total existing square footage of 83 square feet. Safeway proposes to remove one logo of 32 square feet with the addition of "Marketplace" of 19 ~ square feet, .thereby reducing the total square footage by 13 square feet to a total of 70 square feet and reducing the number of signs from 3 to 2. In June of 1985, Safeway replaced a rooftop sign with the present "Safeway" wall sign. The application for the new wall sign contained a statement from the Town staff to the effect that the two remaining logos would require a variance approval or must be removed by December 31, 1985. Before the end of 1985, this area of the Town was de- annexed and was re-annexed on January 28, 1986. At present, the number of signs and amount of square footage are nonconforming. In January of 1991, the signage must conform to the Town of Vail sign code, or a variance must be obtained. II. FINDINGS AND STAFF RESPONSES Before the Board acts on a variance application, the applicant must prove physical hardship and the Board must find that, A. There are special circumstances or conditions applying to the land, buildings, topography, vegetation, sign structures or other matters on adjacent lots or within the adjacent right-of- way which would substantially restrict the effectiveness of the sign in question; provided, however, that such special circumstances or conditions are unique to the particular business or enterprises to which the applicant desires to draw attention and do not apply generally to all businesses or enterprises. Staff Response The staff feels that the size and location of the Safeway building are special conditions. The staff does feel that when the new sign is in place, it would actually be reducing existing signage and thus visibility. B. That special circumstances were not created the applicant or anyone in privy to the applicant. Staff Response• The Safeway store was deannexed and then reannexed to the Town of Vail. These circumstances were not created by the applicant. The store will be permitted 2 signs and 32 extra square feet until January 28, 1991 when the sign amortization will end, at which time .Safeway must apply for a sign variance or conform to the sign code. C. That the arantincr of the variance will be in general harmony with the purpose of this title, will not be materially detrimental to the persons residing or working in the vicinity, to adjacent property, to the neighborhood, or to the public welfare in general. Staff Response• The following section of the sign code relates to the harmony of the sign: Section 16.16.010 Harmonious with Town scale. Sign location, configuration, design, materials and colors should be harmonious with the majestic mountain setting and the alpine village scale of the Town. Section 16.16.020 Not dominating. The sign should not visually dominate the structure to which it belongs or call undue attention to itself. Section 16.16.140 Architectural Harmony The sign and its supporting structure should be in harmony architecturally with the surrounding structures. Staff feels that the sign change becomes more in harmony with the purposes of this title. D. The variance applied for does not depart from the provisions of this title any more than is required to identify the applicant's business or use. Staff Response• The amount of signage is being reduced substantially, and will identify the business adequately. Although the staff does feel the other logo should be removed, this will happen when the sign amortization ends. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends approval of the sign variance. We feel this request is a step in the right direction, making the Safeway store more easily identifiable, while at the same time reducing amount of signage and number of signs. At their meeting on November 30, the DRB recommended to the Town Council, approval of this request with a unanimous vote. r' OLORAD~ ~ VOL. 3, No. 6 A PUBLICATION OF CLUB 20 NOVEMBER /DECEMBER 1988 Was That A Great Tourist Season or What By David Anderson Chair Tourism Committee The summer of '88 was a great growing season in Colorado for the cash crop we call tourism. According to a "barometer" prepared by Don Merrion at the Colorado Tourism Board, tourism was up 8.6% in Colorado during the summer period, compared to 4.3% across the whole U.S. Even more importantly, tourist spending -gauged by lodging tax revenues and sales tax receipts - appears to match the increase in visitor numbers. Merrion estimates that 18.2 million visitors came to Colorado June through August 1988, compared to 16.8 million in 1.987. Around $316 million more was spent this summer, with approximately 2500 new .jobs created to serve the increased number of visitors. Important to state and local governments is the fact that an additional $15 million in taxes was collected. How did the Club 20 area do? Very well, thank you! Judging by increases in bed and lodging tax receipts in selected communities, the high achievers are: Steamboat (+ 69.9%); Breckenridge (+ 49.1 %); and Avon (+ 23.3%). Durango, Cor- tez, and Glenwood all showed gains of close to 12%, with communities like Montrose achieving about a 4% increase. Another side of the picture is representated in sales tax receipts for the summer, part of which are generated by tourist spending. Quite a variation was discovered: Winter Park and Steamboat posted gains of nearly 22%; Crested Butte 17%; gains in the 7% to 10% range were more typical. The bottom line of this all is: thank you to the 1988 visitors and to those people who helped make a good season happen, BUT NOBODY RELAX PLEASE! Competition between the states for tourists is fierce. In Colorado and on the West Slope we need to continue to improve our products, our hospi- tality, our promotion, and our mer- chandizing, if we are to continue to benefit financially from tourism. The Northwest and Southwest Travel Regions are now organized and are working towards this goal, but they will need a lot of support and assistance in doing the job. If you want to get more involved in tourism promotion and development, give Club 20 a call. for more details. :~ . HIGHWAYS by Dan Noble Club 20 Chairman Colorado's future highway needs -and how to pay for them -have been the central issues studied by the Governor's Transportation Roundtable over the past five months. As you probably know, I have been a member of the Statewide panel of the Roundtable. We com- pleted our work and sent a series of recommendations to the Highway Legislative Review Committee (HLRC). The HLRC, in turn, will prepare legislation to be presented to the next General Assembly. Just to put things in perspective, there are several things to keep in mind when wondering why we have fallen behind on our highway pro- gram -both new construction and repair and upkeep of existing roads. There has developed a practice, backed up by a philosphy that approves of taking highway funds "off the top" and diverting it to uses other than building roads. The fund- ing of inspections and the building of roads not on the state system are two examples that come to mind, and there are many others. This diversion has amounted to about $67 million in the last fiscal year.. Delays in the construction of I-70 through Glenwood Canyon have quadrupled - if not more -the cost of that project. There is upwards of $300 million that could have been used in a matching pro- gram that would have built or repaired some of the critical projects we now face. So much for what might have been. In order to start the catch up process in the out-state areas, our panel produced the following recommendations: 1) an additional 2 cents gas tax 2) a quarter cent sales tax 3) a doubling of the driver's license fee 4) $5 million savings in the opera- tion of the Department of Highways These four items will produce $157 million in new annual revenues. Now before you criticize or applaud, let me emphasize this pro- posal is subject to change and undoubtedly will be. The proposed package we sent to HLRC simply opens up all areas for consideration. One possible variation would be to double the sales tax increase to a half cent, and drop the gas tax and driver's license proposals altogether. That would be the amount collected from automotive related sales. The State Legislature will look at everything. Despite my years in the State Senate, I am not ready to predict how the General Assembly will decide this issue. I do know it is a problem we cannot ignore. Whether it is driving on a road with no shoulders in western Colorado or stuck in rush hour traffic in the Denver Metro area we must recognize that good roads are absolutely necessary for the economic and social well being of our whole state. ~_ ~. A Final Story From The Fall Meeting ,~;' ~: , by Bob Moston ~ ~~ ~.' ~"~, District Engineer .~2 .. ~~~ ~'~, and East Vail, some work soon and more next spring. There is widening of Colo. 13 north of Craig, three old bridges near Kremmling to be replaced, and a guard rail replacement project. An overlay is planned on Colo. 91 from Leadville to Fremont Pass. Colorado River. The new one will be in the same spot, so pier work should start this fall and it is expected that the bridge will be out of use from February first to September first, although a bonus for early completion is to be part of the contract. At the Fall Meeting, we had even more talk about highways. To complete his highway com- mittee report, Stan Dodson called on Bob Moston, district engineer with the state highway department, to tell the present and future story of the roads of western Colorado. He listed 40 or more projects, ranging from Glenwood Canyon on the Interstate to little box stream crossings and repaving projects. In the I-70 route, the De Beque Canyon project has been scheduled for completion at the end of October but was "a little behind schedule," he admitted. Both eastbound and westbound lanes are open for traffic and a final mat will be laid in the spring. Glenwood Canyon is coming along "very well," and by 1990 everything should be under contract except for rest areas and a bit of work at the east end. Resurfacing is set for 1-70 west of Rifle and repair work between Eagle Moston detailed other resurfacing, widening and safety programs, including upgrading of many points on secondary roads. Six miles of Colorado Route 139 over Douglas Pass are underway, about 3~h being done this fall, the rest next year. Federal money has been available for this route as it is entirely within the public land. A question concerned slides on that mountain but he admitted not know- ing the answer - "It's the nature of the beast, I think" he said. Between Delta and Olathe two new lanes will be built, but the old road will serve for the time being as the southbound lane. Coming to bridges, he spoke of the study being made of the old bridge at Deita over the Gunnison River.. It's historic and a buyer is being sought, with replacement possible by 1991. At Grand Junction bids were recently opened for replacement of the northbound bridge over the A TRADITION WITH CLUB 20 MEMBERS _•~ a ~Q ~~.~ '~~ ~1Aal\: of Grand Junction 243-6790 755 HORIZION DRIVE In response to questions, Moston spoke of plans for improvement for U.S. 50 south of Fools Hill at a cost of $7 million, and of an overpass to allow tailings trucks from Grand Junction to cross U.S. 50 readily. Although the Aurora district is in charge, he understands that pass- ing lanes are planned on U.S. 40 on the south side of Berthoud Pass. Yes, the 6-cent gasoline tax for highway repair ends in July unless extended by the legislature, he remarked. Club 20 co-founder, L.W. "Lew" Parcell, celebrated his 100th birth- day on Sept. 17,1988 in Montrose. President Bill Cleary was on hand to present a Club 20 resolution of congratulations. 0 ~.~~..

Stonger says they expanded their marketing this spring beyond eastern Colorado to Los Angeles and Phoenix. Battlement Mesa was touted as a cool alternative to the summer heat. Stonger says the response was very strong, especially from Phoenix. BMI has just started advertis- ing in Dallas and Kansas City. New homes make up the bulk of the sales at Battlement Mesa. The occupancy rate for existing modular homes is 97%. There are 400 apartments available; 80% of those are full. "There are just a handful of the 100 single family homes for sale," Stonger notes. The construction of multifamily housing units is proving to be popular in other places besides Battlement Mesa. Between 1980 and 1986, multifamily units comprised 57.4% of the new construction in the tourism oriented counties of EAGLE, GRAND, GUNNISON, LA PLATA, PARK, PITKIN, ROUTT and SUMMIT. According to figures from the Colorado Association of Home Builders, 23,700 jobs in the state in 1987 were directly attributable to the construction of nearly 18,000 housing units. Employees on those jobs earned an estimated $570 million. CIVIC PRIDE - MONTROSE residents have shown their commitment to the construction $350,000 thattwas be ng sought for thenpho- ject. So far, $360,000 has been given. Mont- rose Assistant City Manager Giff Stoke said the majority of the remaining funds needed for the project are coming from a $2.6 million bond issue. Stoke says, "We got a AAA rating for our bond issue because of the fiscal strength of the town and favorable interest rate when the bonds were offered for sale in October." Twenty acres of land for the site were donated southeast of downtown. Stoke says users of the center will have an "unrestricted, incom- parable view of the San Juan Mountains." The 30,000 square foot facility will house recrea- tional and meal preparation programs for seniors, a performing arts area and meeting rooms. Stoke feels because the civic center will have multiple uses, it will not lose much money. Stoke says, "A civic center is not a into a lib ary.' You do not bui doa I b ary t mmake money. You build it for the benefit of the com- munity." Anticipated completion date is February of 1980. PABCO - A year and a half ago, in April of 1987, the Pabco insulation plant in FRUITA once again the arglest employer'in Fputatat million in o the Grand Valley a on~omy. P$a t share of the~nsulahonnand fireproof ng material ast~year. Pabco addedthe firep~ppblry in the in 1984. The product, among other thingsa s i More Western Slope Signals used in refineries, pulp mills, the aluminum industry, in restaurants for grease ducts and for black box recorders in airplanes. About 80% of Pabco's business is in insula- tion. Pabco manufctures the insulation out of calcium silicate. The product is used primarily in large industrial projects where high tempera- tures are present like oil refineries and mines. The Pabco plant was built in Fruita in 1977, says MacKendrick, to serve the oil shale indus- try. The plant was reduced to a skeleton crew of about 12 in 1985 after the bottom fell out of the oil market nationwide. Louisiana Pacific decided that, instead of operating the Fruita plant and a similar facility in Louisiana at half capacity, they would shut one down and con- centrate on making the other more cost effec- tive. MacKendrick says, "The slowdown was a blessing in disguise. As a result of that deci- sion, we have learned ways of making our pro- duct better and more cheaply than the com- petition." MacKendrick says the bulk of Pabco's business used to be in new construc- tion. Now they are capturing a greater share of the "replacement market." That's where a customer is replacing old insulation and may not need a large amount, but there are a lot more customers. MacKendrick feels the market will continue to improve. "In Fruita we are located close to many potential customers and a long way from major competitors." Pabco was sold last year by Louisiana Pacific, becoming part of Fiber- board, the company that originally built the plant in 1977. PUMPING GAS -The oil shale bust proved to be an opportunity for Barrett Resources. They have an ambitious gas drilling program going on in the PARACHUTE area. According to the vice president of Barrett, Frank Keller, 50 wells have been drilled since 1984. Only one of those wells has been dry. Keller says the head of the company, Bill Barrett, had his eye on the Parachute-Rifle area for the last 30 years as a potential drilling site. "The oil shale bust opened the door for us," claims Keller. It was not until the oil shale companies slowed down operations after 1982, that Barrett was able to lease the property to drill. The Parachute field, now comprising 50,000 acres, is producing approximately 25 million cubic feet of gas a day. Keller says the expected life of the field is 25 years. Barrett Resources, using subcontractors from the Western Slope, built a 70-mile, $4.5 million pipeline and com- pressor to collect the gas. The pipeline hooks into the Questar line to serve Barrett's three largest customers. A new wildcat well is set to be drilled November 28th. Why is Barrett drilling when the price of gas is dissuading other companies from putting in more wells? Keller says they have negotiated several sales contracts that give them a favorable price. He says, "Our company, which is small, can pro- duce natural gas in a more cost effective manner." John Anderson of the Petroleum Information Corporation in Denver says that Barrett is the largest new gas drilling project on the Western Slope. He reports that Conoco presently has 28 wells in the Douglas Creek area. Bonneville Fuels is drilling near Rulison and Amaco has some wells near Duranogo. Wyoming and Colorado combined account for 60% of all the gas production in the Rocky Mountain region. A $1 million office building is being built in RANGELY by the Western Gas Supply Com- pany. The facility, which will house offices and vehicle maintenance, is located on the west edge of Rangely. REVITALIZE -Four communities in western Colorado have been selected to participate in the Colorado Rural Revitalization Program. SILVERTON, PAONIA, OLATHE and OAK CREEK have sent representatives for leader- ship training in Grand Junction. The $2.2 million program is financed mainly with a grant from the Kellogg Foundation. The program is a cooperative effort between the State Depart- ment of Local Affairs, Colorado State Univer- sity and Univeristy of Colorado. Local Affairs spokesman, Tim Sarmo, says the leadership training is a new component in the rural redevelopment effort. "It is believed that the training will have a beneficial carryover effect in the communities as those who have been trained utilize and teach others the assessment and problem solving techniques they have learned." Sarmo says each town will be given technical assistance as needed from the par- ticipating institutions to focus on their situation and accomplish the agreed upon goals. Twenty communities with less than five thousand residents were selected to par- ticipate in the three year program. The Revitalization Program is flexible and tailored to each locale and their needs, states Sarmo. SHARP! -This summer, the nine week ASPEN MUSIC FESTIVAL attracted about 1,000 students for their workshops and classes and audience of about 100,000 for the con- certs. Of the audience total, approximately 70,000 were in the tent, says spokeswoman for the Festival Association, Debbie Ayers. The rest heard the concerts from the lawn surrounding the tent. Ayers remarks that they are glad that big name musicians will take time in their schedule to come and play in Aspen. She emphasized, "The box office does not determine the festival schedule. Our emphasis is on education and focusing on new music." Ayers doubts that the Festival will grow much larger. "We want to maintain our quality," states Ayers. Audience surveys indicate that 57% of the concert goers are over 50 years old. The audience is affluent with 36% mak- ing an income of over $100,000 a year: The audience is educated, too ... 85% are col- lege graduates. About a fifth of the audience (22%) is from Colorado, the majority from the Front Range. California is home to another 22% of the audience, an increase from 15% in the last two Years. About 77% of the classical Festivals listeners have been to Aspen more than twice. MAKING HAY -Hay has replaced wheat as the number two money-making crop in the state of Colorado (corn is number one). Although there are no specific statistics avail- able, experts believe a lot of that hay is being grown on the Western Slope. Head of the STATE HAY AND FORAGE ASSOCIATION Doug DeCosta in Yampa says their non-profit group is growing in membership. He observes, 'The biggest hay growing areas in western Colorado are around Yampa, the Four Comers area and the San Luis Valley." The market for hay has been good. Spokesman for the Colo- rado Agricultural Department, Jim Miller, relates that $109.67 million in cash receipts were reported for the 1987 harvest. Alfalfa sold for an average of $60 a ton in 1987. This year, the price was $80 a ton. Almost five million tons of hay should be sold by year's end, an increase of more than half a million tons over 1987. Miller says that the number of acres planted in hay has stayed fairly constant since the '70's, but the yields have "increased dramatically." DeCosta says one of the goals of the association is to improve the product. He states, "There is more demand for top quality hay than there is top quality hay." A big problem facing the grower, says DeCosta, is destruction of the hay to weather once it is cut and baled. He estimates a third of a crop is usually lost when hay is unprotected. Japan bought over one million metric tons last year from the U.S., reports DeCosta. Korea has feeding trials undervvay for cattle. DeCosta says that alfalfa hay is performing well so far .. much better than rice straw. Miller feels the Pacific Rim market will grow if good quality timothy hay can be produced. Miller states, "There is an appalling lack of information about the state's second largest crop. The legislature no longer funds gather- ing of agricultural information on a county by county basis." A meeting of the State Hay and Forage Association is planned in Denver January 20 in conjunction with the Stock Show. Interested persons can contact DeCosta at 638-4535 to obtain the location or for more information on the Association. PACK APICKLE -For more than ten years, Ray Peru of FRUITA has been peddling his spices to roadside fruit stands and indepen- dent grocery stores on the Western Slope. Peru, under the label Gramp's Special blends pickling spices for the home canner. "We are in the process now," says Peru, "of redesign- ing our labels to include a UPC or Universal Price Code in anticipation of selling our pro- duct to chain stores. Without the UPC ," says Peru, "the larger stores will not market a pro- duct." While Peru will not release any infor- mation on his current volume from mail order sales and sale to produce stand owners, he notes that, if his product is accepted by a chain, his output would have to increase con- siderably. Besides the pickling seasonings, Peru and his family sell unblended spices and meat seasonings. The mixes are packaged at Gramp's Farm, a whimsical setting southeast of I-70 outside Fruita. He got into the meat seasonings market in an effort to make his business less seasonal. Peru is developing new products. Peru comments, "My market has increased every year, bolstered by pickle packers who favor a good flavored dill pickle. I'm one of those phantom industries on the Western Slope," jokes Peru. The presence of Gramp's Special in the marketplace could be more real than ever once the package redesign is finished. -by Linda Skinner r~ OUR FALL MEETING -Were You There r ,.~_ ,. _ - ~. - ~ ~ ~~~~ ~ ~ t I r ~ ~ JJ ,k, ~i r r~ a ,~ .mob } ,_~T f _ ~ _ 'i ~""~..~.

As President of CWb 20, t was invited to be a member of that council. The mission of this council is simple and ambitious. It is to assure the best prepared workforce in the country by 1995 as measured by the highest graduation rate and the lowest unemployment rate of any state. Among the objectives will be confi- dence on the part of employers that a high school diploma guarantees the graduate has mastered the basic skills. Generating an active interest in education within the business com- munity is not a new idea. Cooperation between local schools and local busi- ness has been talked. about for years - with varying degrees of success. A little over four years ago I was a member of the Governor's Task Force on Excellence 'in Education and one of the liveliest discussions centered on the complaint of a businessman who said he had no confidence that a high school graduate appying for a job could read, write, add and subtract. This new council, chaired by the Commissioner of Education, is saying: "You're right, Mr. Employer, and we need your help to do something about it." An exploratory meeting was held in Grand Junction recently at which some 20 businessemen and edu- cators listened to Bob Gholen, an IBM executive on loan to the State Depart- ment of Education, talk about the needs of business in terms of job applicants. He identified bio-medicine, high technology and software develop- ment as three major job areas that educators should have in mind as they teach. After a further presentation by Mont- rose Superintendent of Schools Bob Cito, explaining his guaranteed graduate program, the local group of businessmen decided to take it a step further and have a meeting to examine specific steps that can be taken by both the business community and the school district. If a program can be put in place and a record established, I look at it from the Club 20 point of view and see it spreading throughout our 22-county area. No one can argue with the goals and objectives. In fact, to disregard the joint needs of business and education in this changing world would simply be cheating our young people and ourselves.
