_ DATE: January 15, 1991
SUBJECT: Ordinance 42 - Discussion of Air Quality/Fireplace
Ordinance and the Proposed Revisions discussed during
First Reading of the Ordinance.
I. BACRGROUND ON lnr: ORDINANCE:
" On December 18, 1990, Ordinance 42 was presented to the
- Town Council for first reading. The principal components
. or changes to the existing ordinance as presented relate to
three major areas; new construction, restricted units and
combination of units. The major points for each are
outlined below:
A. ORIGINAL PROPOSAL
(1) In new construction there are two possibilities:
(a) One woodburning unit is allowed and may be either a
woodburning fireplace or a Colorado certified clean
burning unit. If a woodburning unit is installed,
up to three gas appliances may also be installed.
OR
(b) Up to three gas log fireplaces may be constructed.
The additional provision for up to three gas
appliances would also apply in this instance.
These provisions apply to all zone districts equitably with
no differentiation between low density zone districts and
higher density zone districts, except for those areas
specifically addressed; i.e. restricted units and
accommodation units.
• (2) A restricted unit, which. is any unit in a primary/
- - ~ - secondary, duplex, single family zone, or hillside
residential zone district which cannot be subdivided or
- sold separately, shall no longer be allowed to have any
~ , ~ - ~ woodburning units. The ordinance would allow one gas log
" - fireplace and up to two gas appliances per restricted
unit.
- (3) When units are remodeled; i.e. combined into one
- dwelling unit, all existing woodburning units except one
must be removed or made inaccessible. Three gas appliances
- ~ ~ are also allowed. The owner could also choose option lb.
• ~ The intent is to treat the combined units as one dwelling
unit.
B. REVISED PROPOSAL
On December 18, 1990, the Council reviewed the ordinance
and there was general consensus that the provisions of the
:ordinance were not progressive enough. Some members
favored prohibiting woodburning completely in new
construction. After discussion, the Council proposed a
compromise solution. The suggestions for changes to the
ordinance include the following:
(1) Allow only one woodburning fireplace or certified .
woodstove per unit in new construction, but assess a one
time fee of $10,000.00 to allow the installation of that
woodburning unit.
_ (2) The money raised from the $10,000.00 fee program would
- be used to fund a rebate program to encourage conversion of
existing woodburning units to gas.
(3) The rebate program would be developed whereby up to 30%
• to 40% of the cost of conversion would be refundable with a
ceiling of $1,000.00 or a possible rebate of $300.00 to
$400.00 per conversion.
(4) Sales tax collected from the sale of firewood within
the Town of Vail would be earmarked to help fund conversion
to gas.
. During the evening meeting on January 8, 1991, the Council
requested the staff to explore the logistics involved in
requiring a complete conversion of all woodburning
fireplaces within a specified time period.
(5) Consideration of a complete ban on woodburning in the
Town of Vail within a specified time period would require
conversion to gas or removal of wocdburning units if
conversion was not desired.
~ The staff recommendation for such a time period would be a
3 year period from the time a program to require the
conversion is developed.
II. FURTHER DISCUSSION:
- Before the language of Ordinance 42 is changed to reflect
• these changes, staff feels it is appropriate to allow for
. more public input on the changes to determine c~,u.uunity
direction on the issue. If the revised proposal reflects
the consensus of Council opinion the following additional
topics need to be discussed:
(a) Should the rebate funds created be available to those
~ conversions completed before the effective date of this
. ordinance?
Staff recommendation is to make the rebate funds available
for those conversions occurring after the effective date of
the ordinance.
y .
(b) Should equal consideration for rebate funds be given to
commercial vs. residential conversion?
Staff sees the commercial properties as those which are
_ rented on a short term or nightly basis and may have
.significantly more disposable income available than someone
diving full time in a home in Town. Staff suggests there
= may be some merit to a program which would place greater
emphasis on the residential conversion and provide
financial support to someone to whom conversion poses a
financial hardship.
. (c) Will rebate funds, if available, be distributed on a
first come first serve basis or some other criteria?
Staff recommendation would be to support a first come first
serve program to provide incentive for expedient
conversion.
A. GAS CONVERSION COSTS & AVAILABILITY
Information provided by Gary Hall of the Public Service
. Company indicates that the average cost of conversion from
woodburning fireplaces to gas is approximately $600.00.
The price for conversion can range from $400 to $1,200
depending on the amount of gas piping which has to be
installed and whether or not additional meters need to be
set. He indicated the log sets cost approximately $300 to
$400 each.
When questioned about the availability of natural gas to
properties in Vail he related that gas lines are provided
in all of the streets in the Town of Vail and as a result
conversion could occur on all properties. There will be
some additional reinforcing of scme of the lines occurring
- this summer. He indicated that Public Service would be
able to handle the loads created by a complete conversion
- to gas of all existing woodburning units.
B. OTHER COMMUNITY CONVERSION PROGR.z1MS
A review of preliminary research done for. the development
of the fireplace ordinance indicates that there are no
other communities which have required complete conversion
~ of all woodburning fireplaces and woodstoves. Staff has
included copies of that preliminary research for your
review.
. _ Staff has had further contact with Steamboat Springs to
elucidate the parameters of their current conversion
- program. In Steamboat Springs, single family and duplex
residences are exempt from the requirements for conversion.
Single family and duplex properties are still permitted to
have one woodburning fireplace per unit. Multi-family
properties are no longer permitted to have open burning
fireplaces. The Steamboat staff has some question as to
whether this is a legally defensible position.
In multi-family projects, fireplaces and non-conforming
woodstoves must be changed out to a Colorado Phase I of II
woodstove or insert, converted to natural gas or rendered _
inoperable by welding the damper shut. The recommendation
from their staff would be to prohibit the retrofiting of
existing stoves and requiring change out to non-catalytic
_ Phase II stoves. This would remove to a certain extent the
operator error and problems created by low maintenance of
the catalytic units.
The conversion is based upon a registration program for all
" solid fuel units. The registration program has not been "
completely successful due in part to being a mail-in
registration program accomplishing only a 75$ participation
rate, nor has there been any enforcement of the
requirement. .
They have experienced some problem with the buildup of
carbon monoxide in the units when fireplaces have been
. - converted to gas logs and recommend that the gas burning
" appliances be used instead. The use of the gas appliances
where fireplaces had previously been used have shown up to
. a 40% decrease in electric bills where electricity is the
primary heat source. Mike Zopf, t.~e Steamboat contact,
indicated that the gas appliances have been well received
. by the local real estate and prope~y management
companies. .
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The staff at this time would request that Council consider
public input and direct staff on desired changes to the
ordinance prior to a formal second reading of the
ordinance. The staff feels this is necessary to insure
that the decisions made and the policy developed is
progressive and proactive. This approach will best serve
the needs of the community now and into the future.
If Council wants staff to develop a program to require
. complete conversion of all woodburning. units in Town it
would involve a number of steps.
. (1) A complete inventory of all woodburning units in Town
would need to be completed. To be most effective this
would require a door to door inventory of all units and
in staff's opinion would require approximately six months.
(2) Staff would suggest a three year time period to require
complete conversion or removal of woodburning units. At
this time a suggested deadline for conversion would be June
" 1, 1994.
_ (3) Staff would suggest the implementation of a rebate
program to encourage early conversion of woodburning units
in a program similar to that which was implemented in
- Telluride.
1st year conversion: 50$ rebate
2nd year conversion: 25$ rebate
3rd year conversion: 10$ rebate
In this instance a ceiling limit should also be placed for
the total allowable cost which the Town would consider for
rebate. In a plan similar to that proposed during the fee
per fireplace discussion, staff would suggest a $1,000
limit.
(4) Since permits would be required to insure safe and
proper conversions, the progress of the program could be
tracked via plumbing inspections. As in the original
- - proposal, staff recommends that building permit fees be
waived for conversion.
(5) A fund base for the rebate program would need to be
established. Staff feels there is an inherent conflict
between the two proposals suggested by Council. If there
is going to be a complete ban on woodburning in the Town of
Vail by June of 1994, it does not seem appropriate to allow
for the additional construction of woodburning fireplaces
at this time. As a result there would be no conversion
fund created by the fee per fireplace idea. A possible
source of funds for the rebate program would be the real
estate transfer tax.
(6) An alternate idea to the rebate program is not to
provide financial incentives for conversion, but rather to
impose penalties for failing to do so. Staff feels that in
order to insure compliance with the conversion schedule
there would be a need to create a fee structure for fines
to be imposed for failing to convert. This should be a
significant penalty charged on a per day,' per week or per
month basis such that failure to convert could create a
_ financial hardship for those who do not convert by June 1,
1994.
(7) Staff feels that the terms of a conversion program
would by necessity apply to all woodburning units within
. the Town and careful consideration should be given to
allowing any variances. Staff recommendation would be not
to allow any variances and thereby require a complete,
across the board conversion.

B. Communities with ReQUlations in glace:
1. Castle Rock, Colorado
Elevation: 6,500 ft.
Population: 8,500 residents
Geography: Gently rolling area with a few
ridges, hills.
The City of Castle Rock has been determined to be
a part of the Denver metro area air shed although
they are located 25 miles south of the city.
Based on the air studies conducted in the metro
area and the support of several council members,
it was determined to take strong action to limit
the increased deterioration of the air quality in
- the Plum Creek Basin.
Effective December 31, 1989 the City of Castle
Rock prohibited the construction of any new solid
fuel burning devices. At present the ordinance
allows only for the installation of gas
appliances--no installation of any type of unit
which can be converted to solid fuel burning. The
ordinance does not allow for the installation of
"clean-burning" stoves, but does have a provision
which will allow for review of the Phase III stove
technology when it becomes available.
The limits were imposed when Castle Rock had
approximately 3500 units constructed of a possible
50,000 dwelling units.
The ordinance was devised as a result of the
visible particulate pollution. It was felt that
wood burning was a major cause of the pollution
and as a result was the only contributor dealt
with for reduction/control of the 'pollution
problem. Castle Rock does not currently sample
for PM10, but feels the state may run some
monitors in their area. At last report the city
is in compliance with state and federal air
quality limits.
2. Crested Butte, Colorado
Elevation: 8,888 ft.
Population: 1,000 full time residents %
Geography: Town located at the upper end of
the East River Valley. The valley
is very narrow and surrounded on 3
sides by mountains.
4
' Crested Butte was in a rather unique position
several year ago~to receive help with their air
quality situation from the Wood Heating Alliance.
In an effort to alleviate the visual effect on the
air in the Town of Crested Butte, an ordinance was
developed where by all solid fuel burning units
had to be replaced over a 3 year period with
either gas appliances, certified wood stoves or
fireplace inserts or removed altogether. Given
the 3 year compliance period, 95~ of those who
complied did so within the last 30 days of the
time frame. According to Bill Cranke, 25~ of the
units are still not in compliance.
A cooperative effort was made with the Wood
Heating Alliance to offer stoves and inserts at
wholesale prices. This still involved an
expenditure on the part of residents of $1000-
$2000 for the units. This created ill feeling on
the part of some residents, but prior to any
implementation of the program or ordinance, a
survey was done to gather a feel for people's
perception of the air quality problem. 86$ of
those surveyed felt there was a problem and were
willing to do something about it.
The decision to implement the ordinance was based
on past TSP (total suspended particulate)
violations, but no additional studies had been
completed to determine source apportionment of
contributing sources of particulates. PM10
monitoring is ongoing with Crested Butte currently
being in compliance with state and federal
emission standards. A reduction in the visibility
problem has been achieved and an approximate
reduction of 80-90~ in emissions.
Their staff recommended requiring non-catalytic
stoves and cautions against problems related to
retrofitting or changing old units.
3. Breckenridge, Colorado
Elevation: 9,600 ft.
Population: 1,396 year round residents;
18,860 peak season population
Geography: A fairly narrow valley located east
of the 10 mile mountain range.
5
Although Breckenridge has not done extensive
monitoring or studying of their emissions picture, -
their Planning Commission and political entities
made the move to place limitations on the number
of solid fuel burning devices in their
jurisdiction. This was brought about by a desire
not to have the air quality problems seen in other
mountain communities. They took the steps to
initiate their present ordinance because of the
visual impacts created in other communities by the
development of large multi-family developments.
There is a significant potential for Breckenridge
to expand by the construction of large multi-
family developments. .
The response to the ordinance has been very
favorable and has received the support of the
elected officials. Although there is a variance
process incorporated into the ordinance, no
variances have been granted. The original
ordinance was drafted by the Planning Commission
and made more restrictive by the Town Council.
The original ordinance has been in place for over
5 years, but the current restrictions were imposed
as the result of revisions to the Development Code
in the summer of 1988.
' The ordinance permits one woodburning appliance
per dwelling unit for single family residential,
unless larger than 4,000 sq. ft. in which case
there may be 2. In duplex or townhouse
residential if units are 1,500 sq. ft. or larger
they may have one appliance per unit. If the
units are smaller than 1,500 sq. ft. of internal
heated floor area, they are not allowed a wood
burning appliance. The ordinance was based on
square footage as a means to set limits without
scientific basis. It was a fairly arbitrarily
drawn point of reference.
In multi-unit residential buildings, one
. woodburning appliance is allowed in the lobby area
if over 1,000 sq. ft. in site. No woodburning
appliances are allowed in dwelling units.
If development occurs which would wish to provide
additional fireplaces to those which are permitted
they may do so by the use of gas, electricity or
similar means.
6
` 4. Telluride, Colorado
Elevation: 8,745 ft.
Population: 1,300 year round residents.
Geography: Box canyon The city is located
in a valley surrounded on~4 sides
by mountains.
During the late summer/early fall of 1985, the
Town of Telluride initiated a registration program
for all solid fuel burning devices and issued
permits for the registered units. The ordinance
also called for the prohibition of construction of
new solid fuel burning devices unless they met
strict emissions standards and permitted only one
- per unit--no open burning fireplaces are permitted
unless they are located on restaurants, bars or
commercial lobbies.
The ordinance also incorporated a rebate program
over a 3 year period to encourage people to
install alternate forms of heat or to upgrade
their existing wood burners. All open fireplaces
in residential units had to be equipped with
fireplace inserts. The rebate program was funded
through the town's real estate transfer tax and
offered:
1st & 2nd year $750 for alternate form of heat
$200 for certified woodburning unit
3rd year $250 for alternate form of heat
$100 for certified woodburning unit
These actions were taken in Telluride based on the
supposition that Telluride would be in violation
of PM10 standards based on historical TSP data.
However, no professional air quality comprehensive
study was completed before the ordinance was
enacted. There was also a great deal of visual
evidence supporting the premise of an air quality
problem. The Town of Telluride continues to do
PM10 monitoring today and is currently in
compliance with state and federal standards.
The public was generally unhappy with the
ordinance and registration program when it was
initially introduced. There was one lawsuit
against the Town which was dismissed and talk of a
citizens initiative to change the parameters of
the ordinance, but it never got off the ground.
At this time, they have achieved compliance with a
solid fuel burning units.
7
5. Steamboat Springs, Colorado
Elevation: 6,700 ft.
Population: 6,300 people year round.
Geography: A wide valley with rolling
mountains on two sides.
In early 1987 the town of Steamboat Springs passed
an ordinance which required the registration of
all solid fuel burning devices within a 6 month
period of final passage of the ordinance. Reports
from the planning office and environmental health
office indicate that the registration program has
not been overly successful. The lack of success
is based on the mail-out type of registration they
conducted--not a great deal of return of surveys.
The ordinance placed limitations on the number of
solid fuel burning devices allowed in residential
units. In single family, duplex and two family
homes one solid fuel burning advice is allowed per
dwelling unit. In multi-family buildings, there
is a limitation of one approved solid fuel burning
device allowed per building.
The ordinance also required the elimination of
non-conforming solid fuel burning devices in
existing dwelling units and specified time frames
for completion of this project. The non-
conforming.units had to be eliminated, but could
be replaced with approved solid fuel devices. The
ordinance also requires the elimination of solid
fuel burning devices which are non-conforming in
commercial buildings and permits the installation
of only one approved device per building after the
effective date of the ordinance.
The controls were imposed and developed as the
result of an air quality advisory committee. The
basis for the initial control measures was a
public perception that there was an air quality
problem. Steamboat Springs has historically
violated TSP limits and has recently-winter '89-
'90--violated PM10 limits. The committee in
Steamboat is reorganizing to address the issue of
number of units in multi-family buildings and also
the issue of retrofitting existing units. ,
Public response to control measures for future
construction has been great.

6. ~ Aspen", Colorado Y
Elevation: 7,928-ft.
Population: 12,000 year round permanent
residents.
Geography: Narrow valley with 10,000+ feet "
peaks on 3 sides of the valley.
The valley floor is approximately
1/2 mile wide in town.
" Aspen has been regulating solid fuel devices since
as early as 1973 when the Colorado Department of
Health recommended a moratorium against the
construction of fireplaces in condominiums and
lodges. The first law in 1977, allowed unlimited
woodstoves,and one fireplace for single family
dwellings. In multi-family developments the units
had to be over 3,500 sq. ft. to allow separate
fireplaces. This 1977 law also allowed for the
construction of only one fireplace in the lobby
for hotels and motels.
In 1983 the 1977 law was modified to require that
all stoves installed were certified units. In
1986, the law was further modified to allow the
installation of one fireplace or one certified
stove per multi-family building. The`most recent
revision to the ordinance applies to the metro'
area which encompasses most of Pitkin County." The"
current ordinance allows for the installation of~
one gas log fireplace with a provision for a
second device if it is a gas log fireplace or
certified stove. This provision is allowed per
building and prohibits the installation in
individual condos. The ordinance also allows for
the installation of an unlimited number of gas
appliances per building. As a part of this 1988
ordinance there was also a registration program
required which to date has registered 5,200 of
5,500 property owners. The metro area ordinance
no longer allows for the construction of wood
burning fireplaces unless they are equipped with
gas logs. This type of ordinance has been well
received by the general public as it relates to
new construction or individuals doing additional
work to units and does not require removal of
existing wood fireplaces as was initially
proposed.
9
.
s
Aspen is designated as a Group I PM10 area. In
other words, they have violated PM10 standards and
have been required to develop a local
implementation plan to bring the community within
PM10 limits. Aspen has based their ordinances
over the years on results of emissions inventories
and updates conducted in 1977,••1982 and 1987. The
ordinance developed in 1988 was the product of the
emissions inventory and some computer modeling
done by the Colorado Department of Health. Aspen
has done CMB sampling for the past 2~seasons in
conjunction with the State Health Department, but`
have no results to date. They did purchase
meteorological gear to enable them to predict high
pollution days and announce no burn alerts, but
equipment failure has prevented any alerts.
III. CURRENT VAIL ORDINANCE
A great deal of the research and studies which have been
conducted have been to allow for the well informed
development of an overall air quality plan. The plan would
address Vail's air quality on a long term basis and
encompass a number of different factors which contribute to
the overall air quality. In addition to the overall plan
the staff would like to recommend changes and revisions to
existing fireplace ordinances. These changes would address
some of the issues which have been raised related to
fireplaces and the current ordinances. The initial purpose
for the original fireplace ordinance and the purpose of the
proposed recommendations is to protect the air quality of
the valley and to reduce the amount of particulate pollution
introduced into the air. Each of these recommendations will
result in no net increase in the amount of particulate
pollution and may result in a decrease by eliminating some
particulate.
The staff recommendations are:
A. Include a provision to the existing ordinance to allow-
for the construction of 2 masonry fireplaces for the
• installation of gas logs in new residential dwelling
C units. If the fireplaces are constructed under this
~ provision of the ordinance, the owner will forfeit the
G,'- right to burn wood in either fireplace. This provision
would also allow for the installation of one gas ,
appliance.

Attn: Bill Andree
Dear Bill:
In light of three incidents in the fall of 1990 where wild
animal/leghold traps caught domesticated dogs, trapping in the Vail
Valley has become an issue of general public concern.
The public's concern stems from the fact that the Vail Valley is a
highly utilized year-round recreation area in a relatively
concentrated amount of physical space. The recreational activities
involved include, but are not limited to, hiking, climbing, snow
skiing, mountain biking, etc. These activites occur not only
within the limits of the Town of Vail, but extend onto nearby
Federal lands outside the jurisdiction of the Town. It is felt
that the current regulations on trapping are not in the best
interests of our citizens and guests in that the mixed use of
recreation and trapping are not compatible.
In an effort to be sensitive and fair to all involved parties, we
would like to suggest that current Division of Wildlife regulations
be modified. The proposed changes would provide for a ban on
trapping from ridgeline to ridgeline contiguous with the Town of
Vail town limits, but extending 1/2 mile east and west of the
current boundaries. We feel that this regulation would allow safe
recreation in the Vail Valley, yet allow those interested in
trapping to pursue their respective interests.
We urge prompt attention to the issue so as to allow the decision
to be reflected in upcoming revisions to printed materials as
released by the Division of Wildlife.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ken
Hughey, Assistant Town Manager, at (303) 479-2210.
Your support and cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF VAIL

RE: Letter of Intent to Apply for CDBG Housing Grant Funds
Dear John:
Please let this letter serve as notice of the Town of Vail's
intent to apply for CDBG housing grant funds for the development
of affordable housing within the Town of Vail.
~ In 1990 the Eagle County Affordable Housing Task Force and the
Northwest Colorado Council of Governments commissioned Rosall,
Remmen and Cares, Inc. of Boulder Colorado to prepare The Eagle
County Housing Needs Assessment report. The Town of Vail
contributed substantial funding toward the preparation of this
study.
. In preparing the report, Rosall, Remmen and Cares distributed a
_ survey to the different jurisdictions participating in the
report. The information gathered through this survey process
provided the base information for the Town of Vail Affordable
Housing Study. In November of 1990 the Vail Town Council adopted
the Town of Vail Affordable Housing Study.
Since that time the Town of Vail Community Development Department
and Town Council have been working toward implementing the
policies contained in the study. These efforts include revising
the pertinent sections of the Zoning Code and establishing an
entity to oversee the development of affordable housing within
the Town.
There are currently two parcels of land which have been
identified as appropriate for affordable housing development
within the Town. The Town already holds title to the majority of
the identified development sites. However, in one instance the
acquisition of contiguous property maybe necessary in order to
complete site assembly. In preliminary discussions with the
Community Development Department staff, the owner of this tract
of land has indicated a possible willingness to sell this parcel.
The Town is requesting $300,000.00 in CDBG housing funds in order
to complete this land assembly and/or to fund infrastructure
costs.
If the Town of Vail is successful in obtaining CDBG housing
funds, the funds will be used to benefit those individuals who
meet Eagle County's low to moderate income guidelines.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this Letter of
Intent to Apply for CDBG funds, please do not hesitate to contact
Jill Kammerer or Kristan Pritz at (303) 479-2138. Thank you for
your consideration.
Sincerely,
v- r
Rondall Phillips
Town Manager
