MEMBERS PRESENT: Kent Rose, Mayor Tom Steinberg, Mayor Pro-Tem Jim Gibson Merv Lapin Robert Levine Peggy Osterfoss MEMBERS ABSENT: Lynn Fritzlen TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Ron Phillips, Town Manager Larry Eskwith, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer, Town Clerk The first item on the agenda was approval of the minutes of the December 4, 18, and 19, 1990, meetings, with a corrected spelling of Edward Mayne's name in the December 19, 1990, minutes. Tom Steinberg moved the approval of the three sets of minutes, seconded by Merv Lapin. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The second item on the agenda was Citizen Participation, of which there was none. Item No. 3 on the agenda was Ordinance No. 44, series of 1990, first reading, an ordinance requesting a Special Development District for the Sonnenalp redevelopment, located at 20 Vail Road; apart of Lot L, Block 5-E, Vail Village 1st Filing. Applicant: Sonnenalp Properties, Inc. -Johannes Faessler. Mayor Rose read the full title of the ordinance. Johannes Faessler stated that a letter had been written requesting the Town Council table this ordinance indefinitely. Mayor Rose stated the proposal was close to something the Council could approve, but the applicant should be willing to enter into negotiations with the Town to determine just what changes would meet a consensus of the Council. Instead of tabling this ordinance indefinitely, Merv Lapin suggested it be tabled until July 2, 1991, while the present council members are still on the board. Merv Lapin made a motion to table this ordinance until that time, which Tom Steinberg seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The fourth item on the agenda was Ordinance No. 36, Series of 1990, second reading, an ordinance repealing and reenacting Section 18.52.160, Parking Exemptions and repealing Section 18.52.180, variances of the Town of Vail Municipal Code and setting forth the details in regard thereto. Mayor Rose read the full title of the ordinance. Kristan Pritz asked to withdraw this ordinance and go back to the task force. There was no discussion by Council. Tom Steinberg made a motion to this effect, including a review on February 12, 1991, which motion was seconded by Rob Levine. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The next item to be discussed was Ordinance No. 42, Series of 1990, second reading, an ordinance repealing and reenacting Chapter 8.28 of the Municipal Code of the Town of Vail to expand, strengthen, and clarify code provisions relating to air pollution control, Applicant: Town of Uail, which title was read in full by Mayor Rose. Kristan Pritz proposed that a public discussion be held at the evening session on January 15, 1991, and that this ordinance be brought back for the next evening session on February 5, 1991. 'Rob Levine moved to approve this and Peggy Osterfoss seconded that motion. The motion was unanimously passed, 6- 0.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:22 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kent R. Rose, Mayor ATTEST: Pamela A. Brandmeyer, Town Clerk Minutes taken by Janet Cassady -2- MINUTES VAIL TOWN COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 15, 1991 7:30 P.M. A regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was held on Tuesday, January 15, 1991, at 7:30 P.M., in the Council Chambers of the Vail Municipal Building. MEMBERS PRESENT: Kent Rose, Mayor Jim Gibson Merv Lapin Robert Levine Peggy Osterfoss MEMBERS ABSENT: Lynn Fritzlen Tom Steinberg, Mayor Pro-Tem TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Ron Phillips, Town Manager Larry Eskwith, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer, Town Clerk The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation, of which there was none. Item No. 2 on the agenda was Ordinance No. 42, series of 1990, second reading, an ordinance repealing and reenacting Chapter 8.28 of the Municipal Code of the Town of Vail to expand, strengthen, and clarify code provisions relating to air pollution control. Applicant: Town of Vail. Mayor Rose read the full title of the ordinance. The staff requested this ordinance be tabled to the February 5, 1991, evening meeting. Peggy Osterfoss made a motion to table Ordinance No. 42, series of 1990, and Merv Lapin seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0. The third item on the agenda was to discuss the proposed changes to Ordinance 42 relating to fireplaces. Discussion of Council suggested revisions would follow. Susan Scanlan stated if the revised proposal reflected the consensus of Council opinion, additional topics needed to be discussed regarding rebate funds. Susan asked Gary Hall, a Public Service District Representative, to speak about gas conversion costs and availability and to answer any other questions that anyone present might have. Gary said the average conversion cost would be approximately $600 plus the price of a log set, which runs from $300-$400. Additional costs could be encountered if extra gas piping lines needed to be installed or for installation of a meter. He also stated that since natural gas lines run throughout the town, installing gas fireplaces in the majority of Vail homes wouldn't be a problem. He said they would work with the town to create a funding package of some sort to help encourage people to switch from wood-burning to gas- burning fireplaces and would try to prepare the package before the February 5, 1991, meeting. This package would include an education program that outlines the environmental and health problems associated with wood-burning. Susan stated the staff recommendations would include a complete inventory, suggest a three-year time period to require complete conversion or removal of wood-burning units, implementation of a rebate program and establishment of a fund base for that program to encourage early conversion, and provision of safe and proper - conversion permits. There were some special circumstances that would need to be considered, i.e., wood-burning in a commercial venture and wood-burning as a primary source of heat in a residence. Commercial circumstances would include Vail restaurants that have up-keep broilers, wood-burning pizza ovens, and similar devices, that create a financial income for the Town through sales tax revenues. Contributing to pollution would be auto emissions, wood-burning, and sand from the road. The issue is which creates more of a problem. The Staff said health impacts depend on each person's individual health and outlook. Visual problems due to brown haze are also a personal issue as well as a Town issue. Mayor Rose asked Susan one technical question regarding a memo about carbon monoxide buildup in Steamboat, i.e., what caused a buildup of carbon monoxide in the units with a gas log retrofit? Susan referred the question to Gary Hall. Gary said a properly fired gas burning appliance should not have carbon monoxide buildup. Susan said initial conversions might have been improperly drafted. Gerry Bonser, District Manager for Public Service, said that -1- the issue in Steamboat was prompted by down drafts. Wood combustion would produce more carbon monoxide than gas combustion. Chris Neuswanger, a resident of Vail, expressed numerous concerns, including cost of conversion, running new lines, fireplaces that are electrically heated, minimum charges when no use occurs, damper welding, enforcement, inspections, and education. Builder Pat Dauphinais stated the Town should ban new wood-burning fireplaces. Gas appliances are a?sthetically inadequate. Class A fireplaces with a good gas log . burning device can be just as aesthetically pleasing as a wood burning fireplace. Charging for a fireplace with a set expiration would be inappropriate. Mayor Rose said we should halt the construction of all new wood-burning fireplaces and stoves within the Town of Vail. We should allow Class A Units to be properly installed within structures with retrofit gas burning log systems, We should try to establish a voluntary program and some educational types of things to get people to convert, and we should try voluntary conversion systems for a period of one year and then review. During that first year, we should find the funds to help people convert existing fireplaces up to one-half of the conversion or $500, whichever is less. He would like to see us work with the County on unincorporated areas on a similar proposal. Kristan Pritz restated the purpose of this meeting was to allow for public discussion and to bring this ordinance back on February 5, 1991, for the evening meeting. Item No. 4 on the agenda was Resolution No. 25, Series of 1990, a resolution declaring the need for a housing authority in the Town of Vail, Colorado. Kristan Pritz requested approval of the resolution. Larry Eskwith had been asked if there was a way to control bonding issues by the Housing Authority. He stated there was nothing in the statute. He suggested entering into an intergovernmental agreement with the authority to provide certain restrictions on what they can do, which is perfectly legitimate. Another option would be to place certain covenant restrictions on the property. Rob Levine approved the motion with a second by Merv Lapin. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0. The fifth item on the agenda was a letter to the Department of Wildlife concerning trapping in the Vail Valley. Blondie Vucich, President of the Eagle Humane Society, thanked the Council for addressing the issue. Her sole suggestion was that the letter be addressed to Perry Olson, the director of the Colorado Division of Wildlife in Denver, with a copy going to the Wildlife Commission and also a copy going to Bill Andree. Following discussion, Merv Lapin moved the Town send the letter to Perry Olson with copies to Bill Andree and the Wildlife Commission. This motion was seconded by Jim Gibson. There was no further discussion, a vote was taken, and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kent R.

WHEREAS the Town Council of the Town of Vail is of the opinion that the subdivider of land in each major residential subdivision or portion of a major subdivision which is intended for residential use shall allocate and convey sites and land areas for schools when such are reasonably necessary to serve the proposed subdivision and future residents thereof; NOW THEREFORE be it ordained by the Town Council of the Town of Vail, Colorado: Section 1. Title 17 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code is hereby amended by the addition of Chapter 17.17, School Site Dedications, to read as follows: 17.17.010 PURPOSE It is hereby declared to be the policy of the Town that whenever there is a major subdivision, which is subdivided for residential use or partial residential use, the owner of the land shall provide land for school needs generated by the proposed residential use. It is the purpose of this chapter to require the dedication of land or the payment of fees in lieu thereof or both to fulfill such needs. Section 17.17.020. School land dedication or cash in lieu thereof. The subdivider of land in each residential major subdivision or portion of the subdivision which is intended for residential use, shall allocate and convey sites in land areas for schools when such are reasonably necessary to serve the proposed subdivision and future residents thereof, by the application of the formulas set forth below: Single family and duplex or primary secondary. Number of units x .014495 = dedication requirement in acres. Multi-family. Number of units x .002676 = dedication requirement in acres. When land is dedicated for the purpose of -providing a school site, it shall be t~1at w~iich is useable by the eagle County School District for such purpose, and shall be maintained by the School District in a reasonable manner until developed. Said land shall be held by the Town of Vail for the School District until required by the School District. In the event that the School District dete~~mines subsequent to dedication that the dedicated school site is not reasonably necessary, the Town Council may, at the request of the School District, sell the land. When sites and land areas for schools are not reasonably necessary to serve the proposed subdivision and future residents thereof, the Town Council, with recommendations from the School District and other affected entities, shall require, in lieu of such conveyance of land, the payment in cash by the subdivider of a amount not to exceed the full market value of such sites and land areas for schools. The full market value shall mean the current market value of unimproved land. This value shall be set annually by the Town Council on an acre basis with recommendations from the School District. The same value per acre shall be used throughout the town. If the subdivider does not agree with the value per acre, the subdivider may submit the report by a qualified appraiser who is M.A.I. designated, which establishes a new value. The Town Council shall review the report and determine if the value is reasonable. Based upon their review, the Town Council will determine the value of such land. When money in lieu of land is required or when monies have been paid to the Town Council from the sale of such dedicated sites for schools, it shall be held by the Town Council for the acquisition of reasonably necessary sites for the construction of school facilities, for the construction of employee housing required by the school district, for the purchase of employee housing units for the school district, or for the development of such sites. If housing units are purchased, a deed restriction restricting their use to school district employee housing shall be required and ownership shall remain in the name of the School District. A subdivision school dedication shall apply only once to the same land area. Dedication shall not be required of re-subdivisions of the same land on a dedication that has previously been made. Section 2. If any part, section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance; and the Town Council hereby declares it would have passed this Ordinance, and each part, section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase thereof, regardless of the fact -2- that any one or more parts, sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid. Section 3. The Town Council hereby finds, determines, and declares that this Ordinance is necessary and proper for the health, safety, and welfare of the Town of Vail and the inhabitants hereof. Section 4. The repeal or the repeal and reenactment of any provision of the Uail Municipal Code as provided in this Ordinance shall not affect any right which has accrued, any duty imposed, any violation that occurred prior to the effective date hereof, any section commenced, nor any other action or proceedings as commenced under or by virtue of the provision repealed or repealed and reenacted. The repeal of any provision hereby shall not revive any provision or any ordinance previously repealed or superseded unless expressly stated herein. Section 5. Repealer.

Brandmeyer, Town Clerk -3- - RESOLUTION NO. 9 Series of 1991 A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE STEPHENS PARK MASTER PLAN FOR THE TOWN OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF KINNICKINICK ROAD AND SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD WEST; AND SETTING FORTH DETAILS IN REGARD THERETO. WHEREAS, the Land Use Plan of the Town of Vail designates this land, commonly known as Stephens Park, as a Park use; and WHEREAS, public input from the community, Vail Recreation District, Planning and Environmental Commission and Town Council has been incorporated into the plan in order to develop a park that will be attractive and used by the public; and WHEREAS, the Town Council wishes to develop Stephens Park and has allocated park development funds for this parcel in the 1991 budget. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO: That the Master Plan design by EDAW, Inc., dated January 1991 is adopted as the Master Plan to guide the development of Stephens Park. INTRODUCED, READ, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this day of , 1991. Kent R. Rose, Mayor ATTEST: Pamela A. Brandmeyer, Town Clerk TO: Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: February 11, 1991 RE: A request for a review and recommendation to Town Council regarding adoption of the Stephens Park Master Plan; site is located at the southeast corner of South Frontage Road West and Kinnickinick Road. Applicant: Town of Vail I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Stephens Park is made up of three distinct parts. One is on the north side of Gore Creek, the second is on the south side of the creek closer to the Intermountain neighborhood, and the third is on the west side of Kinnickinick Road. The Town plans to develop Stephens Park in two phases. Generally, the north side of the park will be done in Phase I and the south side will be done in Phase II. Items that will be built in Phase I include the multi-purpose field (including the irrigation and the grass), the parking lot, all of the grading in the park, the pedestrian bridge, the paved walkway around the parking lot and picnic shelter, and all the underground utilities to serve the restrooms and irrigation systems. Phase II will include all of the plantings in the park, the gravel trails and the play structure. The area of the park west of Kinnickinick Road is not planned to be developed at this time. This area may be used for a future fire station. The budget of the park is approximately $300,000, half of which will be spent in Phase I, and the other half in Phase II. A copy of the plan is attached to this memo. The parts of the design that are hand drawn represent the items that have been suggested at DRB, PEC and Town Council work sessions. II. BACKGROUND The Town of Vail has hired EDAW of Ft. Collins to design the Master Plan and produce construction documents. On January 9, 1991 Town staff and the consultant met with neighborhood residents to find out what they wanted to have included in the park design. After the plan was drawn up, the staff and the consultant took it back to the neighborhood and presented it to them. Though the second meeting had a smaller attendance, those present said they liked the design. 1 I/ The Design Review Board (DRB) approved the Master Plan on January 30, 1991. The two conditions of approval the DRB put on :the project include: that more trails be added to the plan to create a looped system and that all lighting be shielded so that the light sources will not be visible from the interstate or adjacent residences. These conditions have been included in the plan at this time. III. PEC CONCERNS A. During the work session on this item on January 28, 1991, the PEC requested that staff look into several issues. The first area of concern dealt with the trail system. Since the work session, Town staff has added a fork in the trail near the Kinnickinick Road/Frontage Road intersection.' This will enable pedestrians to either walk directly to the intersection or walk on a path in the park for as long as possible until they reach the automobile bridge over Gore Creek. The length of the looped trail around the multi-purpose field has been established at .20 of a mile. The suggestion for a par course, with stations along the trail for various exercises, was considered by staff but is not included in the plan. Staff believes that the cost of this system would be better spent on other park facilities which the neighborhood specifically requested during the first meeting. Staff believes that the neighborhood would rather see volleyball courts, a basketball court or a horseshoe pit included in the budget before money is allocated for a par course. B. Another concern dealt with the bike path. During the discussion with PEC, staff and the commission agreed that the constraints outside of the park regarding the construction of a bike path from Donovan Park through Dowd Junction should determine the alignment through the park. Once problems associated with properties on either side of Stephen's Park are resolved, the bike path can be taken through the park along any of three different alignments. For example, if the Town can work with Streamside and other individual property owners and build a path along the creek, the path can then be continued through Stephens Park along the creek. However, if negotiations with those parties are not successful, the Town may build the path along the Frontage Road. In that case, the path would continue along the Frontage Road by Stephen's Park. A third option would be to bench the path into the hillside along the Frontage Road. This path would be detached from the road itself but would not meander through the park. Notes have been added to the Master Plan 2 ' outlining these three options so that in the future, any of them can be used. C. At this time staff is continuing to work with Holy Cross Electric regarding undergrounding the existing overhead electric utility lines. If Holy Cross is willing to do the undergrounding, the staff will need to go back to Town Council for an additional fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) for the budget. Undergrounding will require a specialized transformer to take electricity from the underground lines and for the restroom and lighting system in the park. D. The last issue the PEC discussed involved parking. The plan which the PEC has already seen showed a parking lot of 15 spaces. Since the work session, staff has looked into several options to provide more spaces. The one area which works the best, costs the least, and impacts the park design the least is to expand the width of the driveway from the Frontage Road to the parking lot and provide three parallel spaces. By adding three more spaces, the total comes to 18. Other areas staff looked into were east of the lot, west of Kinnickinick, and on the Frontage Road. Expanding the lot to the east would have reduced the size of the multi-purpose field and eliminated an existing 14' spruce from a focal planting area. Without this tree, the visual focus for people arriving at the park would be the restrooms. The alternative of expanding the shoulder on the Frontage Road for parallel parking there was not acceptable to the Highway Department. A third area where parking could be provided is the unused area west of Kinnickinick. However, because this area may be used for other purposes in the future, installing a lot only to have it removed later is not a good use of the park budget. Staff has discussed the parking issue with a representative from the Vail Recreation District (VRD) and has an understanding that the field, if included in the contract between the Town and the VRD, would only be used for practice. This means that at most there would be fifteen to twenty players at a time practicing. Large parking demands occur when there are two teams with twice that number of players. By , controlling the scheduling of the field staff believes the parking demands can be kept low. Staff researched parking requirements for neighborhood parks and found that national standards recommend providing 5 spaces for the first two acres and 1 3 additional space for each additional acre. As the park is just under 13 acres, the demand, based on these standards, would be 16 spaces. This standard assumes 13' acres of useable park area. As some of Stephens Park is very steep and not useable, a 16 car lot would exceed the typical demand. Staff believes that expanding the lot to 18 spaces will meet the demand most of the time. Staff acknowledges that there may be a need for more- than eighteen spaces at certain times; however, the need for parking and the provision of park area must be balanced, and staff believes that it is generally better to provide more park space instead of more parking. IV. NATURAL HAZARDS The most important concern to the Planning and Environmental Commission was the potential impact of hazards on the park. In a site specific hazard study by Arthur Mears, revised hazard areas show that the play structure is planned to be built in an area that has been designated as moderate debris flow. No other improved part of the park is located in a hazard area. Staff talked to Art Mears since the PEC work session to understand the characteristics of moderate debris flow hazard better. This area will be impacted by debris flow only when the high hazard corridor is full. Most of the time the debris will travel down the high hazard corridor into Gore Creek. In the event that overflows will come into the moderate area, it will be made up of small rocks and water. Mears described this substance as "soupy," with relatively fine elements. At worst case, it may get as deep as one foot. The debris flow will travel at approximately walking speed. Mears' letter of February 8, 1991 states the debris flow hazard will be eliminated from the playground area by building a three foot high berm around it. This mitigation shall be incorporated into the park design. Regarding the other hazards on the site (rock fall, sever debris flow, and avalanche), Mears' report states that because there are no park facilities which concentrate human activity in the high hazard debris flow, mitigation is not recommended (see Section 3.1). The report continues to say that the proposed park facilities do not justify structural rock fall mitigation to protect facilities or activities located beyond the revised rock fall hazard boundary. There are no facilities within the rock fall hazard (see Section 2.6). Concerning avalanche, Mears states that warning 4 signs, posted on either end of the snow slide area, will be sufficient mitigation measures (see letter dated February 8, 1991) . V. COORDINATION WITH OTHER TOWN OF VAIL MASTER PLANS This area is designated for park use in the Land Use Plan. The Recreation Trails Master Plan shows an on-street bicycle trail by Stephens Park. The Stephens Park Master Plan, as mentioned earlier, can accommodate any of three different alignments. The on-street alignment, which is recommended by the Trails Master Plan, is one of these. Staff believes that the proposed master plan is in conformance with the Land Use Plan as well as the Recreation Trails Plan. VI. CONCLUSION Staff recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission recommend approval of the Stephens Park Master Plan to Town Council. Staff believes that the design meets the neighborhood's expectations and that the design has taken into account a wide range of needs including the VRD. The project is also compatible with Town master plans, specifically the Recreation Trails Master Plan and Land Use Plan.

Applicant: Town of Vail I. BACKGROUND For the preparation of the Stephen's Park Master Plan, Town staff hired Art Mears to thoroughly analyze the hazards on the site. The boundaries, as Mears states in his report, "are somewhat different than those shown on the debris flow maps prepared for the Town of Vail in 1984. The differences result from analysis of a detailed topography which was unavailable at the time of the 1984 study." Not only has detailed topography been established to determine the exact location of the hazards, but more sophisticated computer models and simulations have been developed since 1984 that provide more accurate information to map hazards. The changes from the existing Town maps are shown on the attached maps and as described as follows: Rockfall: The area has been changed from south of the interstate and north of Gore Creek to the south side of Gore Creek, parallel to the southeastern boundary of the park. Debris Flow: This hazard has not changed significantly, but has been identified more specifically. It is in the same general area as the 1984 study. Snow Avalanche: Avalanche mapping for the Town of Vail has not been done west of the Vail Village area, as the avalanche potential decreases as the valley opens to the west. In the detailed hazard analysis of the property, however, Mears did find an avalanche hazard and has mapped it. This is in the same general vicinity of the rockfall area. Art Mears' report is attached to this memo. The report provides a detailed analysis of the hazards. 1 II. PROCESS Sections 18.69.030, 18.69.031 and 18.69.052(H)3 of the Town of Vail Zoning Code set up a procedure which allows modifications to the master hazard plans for the Town. These modifications must be made by Town Council with a recommendation from the Planning and Environmental Commission. The sections of the code are listed below: Section 18.69.091: "The master hazard plans shall not be considered to be official hazard master plans of the town until and unless the Town Council adopts the same, by motion. No substantial modification of the master hazard plan shall be made unless it is first approved by the Town Council in a similar manner." Section 18.69.030: "The master hazard plans may be altered from time to time to conform with new information or existing conditions." Section 18.69.052(H)3: "If the applicant establishes at the hearing by clear convincing evidence that the information contained in the site-specific geologic investigation is reliable, the town council shall direct the community development department to keep a copy of said site-specific investigation on file in the community development department and available to the general public and shall further direct the community development department to notate the appropriate official map adopted by this ordinance so that it indicates that said site-specific investigation is on file with the community development department." III. CONCLUSION Staff recommends that the PEC recommend that the Town Council approve the proposed modifications to the rockfall, debris flow and avalanche hazard maps. The hazard study done to identify the hazards is based on more thorough information than the previous studies, as well as more sophisticated hazard simulation tools. Because of these factors, staff believes that the proposed hazard areas are more accurate than the existing maps show. 2 - ROCRFALL, DEBRIS FLOW, AND BNOW AvALAI~I~ab HAZARD ANALYSIB BT~~~.t'8 PARR, vAIL, COLORADO Prepared For -Xr.

As a result of this revised, • site-specific analysis, hazard boundaries have been revised and •rockfall severity has been quantified through application of current methods, and potential snow avalanche hazard has been discussed. The enclosed report consists of two parts: a. Text, discussion, methodology, and recommendations; and b. The rockfall, debris-flow, and snow-avalanche map. Please contact me if you have any questions or desire additional consultation. S' cerely, ~;~;,~,,Q . ~ ~eatio Arthur I. Mears, P.E. Avalanche-control engineer Encl. Mmv Wmttnp • Amland~n • Arolancl?eCont,dE,,f~ i t. 1 OBJBCTIQES AHD LIKSTATIOHS r This analysis of rockfall, debris-flow, and snow-avalanche hazard at the proposed Steven's Park in west Vail vas requested by Mr. ' Todd Oppenheimer, Vail Park Superintendent. Specifically, the report objectives are: . a. Quantitative analysis of ~ockf.a~ velocities, bounce heights, travel distances, and hazard potential; b. Mapping and description of debr s- ow hazard areas; c. Mapping and description of know-avalanche hazard areas; and d. Discussion and. recommendation of mitigation 1 procedures, if necessary. The analysis presented in this report is based on seasonably foreseeable natural conditions expected to occur at return periods of 50-to-100 years (1-to-2 percent annual probabilities). Even _ larger (and less probable) rockfalls, debris flows, or snow avalanches are possible, however, because they are very rare they are not usually considered~~ land-planning applications. These extremely rare events, however, may affect areas beyond those shown , on Map 1. I Z ROCICFALL j ~.1 ROCKFALL SOURCE AREAS The rockfall source areas are located on a steep, west-facing slope extending approximately 250 feet vertically above Gore Creek (Map • 1). The slope consists of unconsolidated soil, occasional boulders and small bedrock outcroppings and will serve as an area of ( rockfall initiation and acceleration during unstable slope conditions. The slope was subdivided into several cells as shown in Figure 1, a profile of the rockfall slope. Each cell on the ~ slope was chosen to represent zones of similar inclination, ~ hardness, and roughness. Detailed field measurements of cell parameters were not obtained during the site inspection of January 7 and 8, 1991 because of the continuous snowcover on the site, ( however the vegetation cover was observed, and the parameter values ` used in analysis are similar to those found to be appropriate at other Vail sites of similar elevation and exposure. Slopes were , both measured in the field and computed from Map 1. f2 .2 ROCKFALL QUANTIFICATION (CRSP1 APPL~CATI0~1 Rockfall behavior was quantified by application of the Colorado • gockfall Simulation grogram (CRSP), a stochastic computer model that outputs a range of velocities, bounce heights, and stopping positions by randomly adjusting slope roughness at each impact 4 t point on the rockfall path, similar to conditions which would occur in a real rockfall event. Atypical model output for 10 rockfall • events is shown in Figure 2, however 100 rockfalls of both 3-foot . and 4-foot rocks were used in analysis. Stopping positions for 100 simulated 3-foot diameter rocks are shown in Figure 1; '4-foot diameter rocks are also shown for comparison. A 3 -foot diameter rock, however, is considered to be the design case, based on rocks found in the area during the field inspection. The complete analysis of 3-foot diameter, spherical rocks is given in Figures 3 through 6. 2.3 CONCLUSIONS ABOUT ROCKFALL HAZARD The probable distances of rockfall "runout" is best described in ' :terms of "exceedance probability." The analysis indicates that i only 10$ of the design 3-foot rockfall events are expected to pass the analysis point, which is located on the west bank of Gore Creek at X=380 feet. This means there exists a 10$ chance that the design rockfall event (a 3-foot rock) will roll past the analysis point. However, if a 4-foot diameter rock is used in analysis, there exists a 39$ chance that rocks will pass the analysis point (X=380 feet), and there exists a 10$ chance the 4-foot rock will roll past 420 feet. ' Field experience and observations in this area suggest that the 3- foot rock should be considered to be the .design case and the 10$ exceedance probability (located at X = 380 feet) is a reasonable { boundary for the rockfall hazard line. This rockfall boundary is;.~_~ shown on Map 1. Most of the 3-foot rocks will stop in Gore Creek~• .and even the extreme rockfall events will stop in what is proposed to be a "Natural Area" on the Vail Master Plan for the park. ! ~.4 ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ROCKFALL HAZARD BOUNDARIES r The rockfall hazard boundaries can easily be adjusted through application of the data derived in this study. For example, the accepted exceedance probability could be made more conservative (say 5$ or even i$) for 3-foot rocks, or a 4-foot rock could be used for the design size. These adjustments could be made by the r~~ Town of Vail, if an even greater level of protection than that recommended in this study is desired. ~.5 RO~rrALL MITIGATION Mitigation for a 3-foot diameter rock can be designed based on the analysis point data contained in Figure 4, if an exceedance . probability of 10$ is thought to present too great a hazard or if the area immediately west of the analysis point (rockfall hazard boundary) will be used for activities that concentrate human activity. According to Figure 4, a maximum bounce height of 2 feet . i is expected at the analysis point, therefore 3-foot rocks can be completely stopped by building a berm, or gabion-wall barrier 3.5- feet high (bounce height + rock radius) at the analysis point. J , ~ . 6 RECOMMEND~'ONS ~BOL1~R(~CR~ALL FiAZAR~ The activities planned in the proposed park facilities do not justify structural rockfall mitigation to protect facilities or activities located beyond the rockfall hazard boundary shown on Map 1. Therefore, the 3-foot diameter rock and the 10~ exceedance probability should constitute the design case, as previously discussed. However, development east, of the rockfall hazard Line should be avoided unless structural mitigation is used to reduce rockfall hazard. Such mitigation can be designed in accordance with future discussions with Town of Vail officials about land-use practices and r~,Y * erance in the park facility. As discussed- above, amore nserva approach is possible and can be applied if desired by Town of Vail officials. - 3 D$BItIB FLOW HABAR.D "High" and "Moderate" debris-flow boundaries are also shown on Map 1. These boundaries are somewhat different than those shown on ' debris-flow maps prepared for the Town of Vail in 1984. The differences result from analysis of the detailed topography (as`~ shown on Map 1) which was unavailable at the time of the 1984T4t; study. 3.2 HZGH HAZARD DEBRIS-FLOW AREA The "high hazard" debris-flow area will be concentrated within and immediately below the 10-foot deep channel that enters the southeast corner of the property (Map 1). This channel will concentrate the high-energy and coarse-grained component of the debris flow. In general, areas exposed to high-hazard debris flow can experience severe structural damage and possible loss of life through impact and deposition of mud, rock, and debris. Although such high-energy events are rare, having never occurred here since Vail was founded in 1962 and probably not during this century, buildings and valuable fixed facilities should be avoided in this:. area. Present Vail plans include only an 8-foot gravel path and ani~~ "informal picnic area" in the high-hazard area. Because these areT not activities that concentrate human activity, mitigation is not ~$~w , recommended. t 3.2 MODERATE HAZARD DEBRIS-FLOW AREA The "moderate-hazard" debris-flow area extends laterally beyond the ~ high-hazard limits and will spread over much of the alluvial fan. The areas mapped as moderate-hazard debris .flow on Map 1 may be • reached when the main debris-flow channel discussed above is blocked and water, mud and fine-grained material is spilled laterally onto the fan surface. Moderate-hazard debris-flow areas can experience property damage through flooding, erosion and impact of muddy water, soil, rock, and debris. These relatively low- energy events will not be life-threatening, therefore, buildings and other fixed facilities can be located within moderate-hazard debris flow areas. Structural mitigation or site-specific design is required by the Town of Vail if debris impact can cause expensive damage or endanger persons. Present Vail plans call for • a "Play Area" within the moderate-hazard debris-flow area. Such areas are subject to intermittent, rather than continuous use (such as a building), therefore the probability of a flow reaching a person is very small. 3.3 GORE CREEK FLOODING DUE TO DEBRIS FjAWS Debris flows can cause blocking of Gore Creek and overland sheet flooding on the flat floodplain area located on the north side of Gore Creek. Details of water flooding and. related damage caused by such blockage are beyond the scope of this study but should be considered in hydraulic flood plain calculations and flood plain - - boundary delineations. • 3.4 DEBRIS-FLOW MITIGATION, Mitigation is required if the very small probability that a flow with a return period of about 100 years will reach a person who may I be in the area is unacceptable to the Town of Vail. Debris flows cannot be prevented or stopped in the channel, therefore two forms of mitigation are possible: a. Avoidance of the area for planned activities such as play areas, paths, picnic areas, or other facilities; or b® Construction of a 3-foot high berm or structural wall around the play area (open on downhill side). In general, parks and recreational activities are appropriate land uses for floodplain, debris flows and other similar hazard area because they do not concentrate activity similar to residential or commercial use. A final decision about whether mitigation alternative "a" or "b" is used depends on the level of risk accepted by the Town of Vail. i _ ~ 4 8NO1P AVAI+ANCHES f 1~ 4.1 DESCRIPTION OF AVA7~ANCHES i Small snow avalanches can release from the sparsely-vegetated rockfall slope discussed in Section 2 (Figure 1; Map 1). However, snow avalanches will be small and will not attain high velocities or large mass. The largest avalanches can release as dry .or wet slabs from approximately 200 feet vertically above Gore Creek. Part of the avalanche mass will stop on the proposed gravel path above Gore Creek, and the remainder will stop in. Gore Creek, (Map .1) . Avalanches will not extend across Gore Creek, even during design-avalanche conditions. ~ ~ Although avalanches will be small, they may present a hazard to persons using this area for recreational purposes. Avalanches could trap, bury, or kill persons who happen to be on the path as 1 snow and debris quickly accumulate to a depth of several feet at _ ~ this location. Furthermore, avalanches could push a person into Gore Creek. The probability of a person being on the bench just when an avalanche releases is small, however a skier-triggered avalanche~on the slope presents a greater level of potential hazard. Many slopes, such as the steep slope southeast of Gore Creek are tempting recreational sites, especially for telemark skiers who wish to test their skills on an uncontrolled slope beyond the ski-area boundary. This temptation may be especially ' great immediately after afresh, deep snow fall, the precise time when snowpack instability is greatest and skier-triggered or natural (spontaneous) avalanches are most likely. The hazard from snow avalanches will increase if this area is- developed and maintained by the Town of Vail during the avalanche season, a period which may extend from November into May during some years. This conclusion is simply based on the fact that an increased number of persons will be drawn into the area as a result of the park development. I ~ 2 SNOW-,~VB,LANCI~E MITIGAT~QZt Potential avalanche hazard can be reducer if the Town of Vail places avalanche-warning signs on the bench below the slope. Warning signs should be informative, describing that the slope is steep enough for avalanche activity, given proper snowpack conditions and that slides are often triggered by the victims. Activities on and below the slope must be avoided during avalanche warnings and advisories. ~ ' Re ort submitted by, .v7~ Q~ Arthur I. ears, P.E.

Natural Hazards Consultants ' 222 Eaat Gothic Ave. Gimniaon, Colorado 81230 303 -641.3236 February 8, 1991 Mr. Andrew Knudtsen Town Planner Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 RE: Debris-flow and snow-avalanche hazard, Steven's park. Dear Mre Knudtsen: In response to our conversation yesterday, I offer the following comments about the above-referenced hazards: Debris flow As you and Todd Oppenheimer specified in our meeting, hazard must be completely eliminated at the proposed play area. Elimination of the hazard can be accomplished by building a berm 3 feet high around the eastern and southern boundaries of the play area. The centerline of the berm is shown on the attached map by a dashed line. A walk can be located on top of the berm, if desired. This would divert the fluid-like, muddy flow (expected only once per century, approximately), around the play area into adjacent "natural" and "turf" areas. Snow avalanche The snow-avalanche area, identified and discussed in my January, 1991 report, cannot be classified as a "Red" or "Blue" hazard because such classifications have meaning only when applied to buildings or other fixed facilities that concentrate winter use. The avalanche slope in question is a "backcountry" avalanche slope which will be uncontrolled by ski-patrol personnel. Avalanche frequency will increase as a result of persons climbing or skiing onto the steep face and triggering an avalanche which could easily bury a person on the path at the base of the slope. Such activities will probably increase as a result of park development because the slope will be more easily accessed after the bridge is built and a trail will be located below it. I recommend placing avalanche warning signs at the base of the slope on both east and west sides. These signs should identify the slope as being avalanche-prone, indicate that it is not stabilized by ski-area personnel, and advise persons to stay off the slope. I believe warning signs will be sufficient mitigation measures. Please contact me if you have additional questions.

Phillips Town Manager VAIL VALLEY CONSOLIDATED WATER DISTRICT By /L f 3 town ofi uaii 75 south frontage road vail, Colorado 81657 (303) 479-2107 office of town attorney February 11, 1991 Ms. Sylvia Blount Vail Resort Association 111 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Qear Sylvia: I just wanted to confirm in writing our telephone conversation of February 7, 1991, relating to information provided by the Vail Resort Association in the information booths. You asked whether it was appropriate for employees working at the Town of Vail Information Booths to give out information relating only to Vail Resort Association member lodges when someone asked for information relating to hotel reservations at the booth. As I stated in our conversation, it is my opinion that the contract between the Town of Vail and the Vail Resort Association, which retains the Association to operate the information booths as a contractor of the Town, provides that displays and information from all the Association members and all Town of Vail businesses shall be made available. The contract provides that the lessee shall generally be a clearinghouse for all such Vail information. After review of the language of the contract between the Town and URA, it is my opinion that rate information should be presented to guests from both member and non-member lodges and that non- member lodges and member lodges should be treated the same by the employees of the information booths in all respects. It is the intent of the agreement between the Association and the Town that N when employees of the Association are operating the information booths they should be distributing all tourist information made available to them by all Town of Vail businesses or lodges whether they be Association members are not and that information should be distributed in a nondiscriminatory fashion. Ms. Sylvia Blount Uail Resort Association Page 2 If you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter further, please don't hesitate to call. Very ruly yours, - Larry A. Eskwith Town Attorney LAE/jc xc: Town Council February 14, 1991 To All Property Owners in the Booth Falls Local Group and District Dear Property Owner: I am writing to update you on the status of the Booth Falls Rockfall Mitigation Berm. As you are presently aware, the berm which was constructed in the summer and fall of 1989 did not meet the compaction specifications of the engineer who designed the structure. Although the engineer has certified to us in writing about the berm is safe and is effective in stopping rocks at the present time, the engineer's concern is that because the compaction specifications have not been met there is a possibility that the berm will slowly sluff and thereafter lose its ability to work effectively to stop falling rocks. The Town of Vail has been sued by the contractor who built the berm for funds which we have refused to pay because of what we consider to be a substantial default in the contractor's performance. The Town has counterclaimed against the contractor and the legal action is ongoing. The Town now has a written commitment from the contractor to rebuild the berm in accordance with the compaction specifications of the engineer beginning as soon as possible at the beginning of the 1991 building season. The Town is hopeful that the berm can be rebuilt in the fashion required by the engineer prior to the 1991/1992 ski season. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please don't hesitate to give me a call. Very truly yours, Larry A. Eskwith , Town Attorney LAE/jc xc: Town Council Rondall U. Phillips , .

Firewood was priced at E 125 a cord (dry hardwood, cut to stove length, split and delivered). How do r ~ ' those two costs compare, in terms of the amount of heat you get for your money? We took that question to firewood specialist Ken Skog at the U.S. Forest Service's I ~ ~ Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin, who put together the following ' table. He explains that a gallon of oil contains 138,690 Btus of heat. Assume that you ' burn that oil in a furnace that is 82.5 percent effiaent. You wind up with 114,419 , . Btus of heat delivered into the home. One cord of high~uality hardwoods (oak, hick- ory, ash, beech, etc.) contains 26.6 million Btus. Assume that you bum it is a wood f stove with an effiaency rating of 70 percent to deliver 18.6 million Btus. In terms of effective heat delivered, that cord of wood is equivalent to 163 gallons of oil. With oil ~ , at E 1.20 a gallon, you would break even paying S 195 for a cord of dry hardwood. f The left-hand column of the table shows various prices for a gallon of oii.

Meadow Dr. Vale, CO 81657 Dear Councilman Lapin, Philip Berolzheimer, President of Duraflame, Inc., recently contacted me and informed me that your city council is considering a ban on the installation of wood-burning fireplaces in new construction in the greater Vale area. Before your council takes such a drastic measure we think they should be aware that there are other methods by which you can reduce the emissions from traditional fireplaces. Recent tests conducted by Shelton Research, Inc., a Colorado accredited emissions research facility, concluded that sawdust/wax firelogs produced 66% less particulate matter, 78% less carbon monoxide and almost 50% less opacity (smoke density) than an equivalent wood fire. Therefore, if communities which have difficulty controlling emissions from fireplaces were to advocate the use of firelogs rather than natural wood, those communities would experience significant reductions in the particulate matter and carbon monoxide emissions from fireplaces. Mr. Berolzhiemer also told me that you were interested in the heating efficiencies of natural wood, sawdust/wax firelogs and gas fireplaces. We do not have solid _ numbers on the heat output provided by a gas fireplace. However, I am sure you could obtain this information from your local gas company. To some extent the efficiency of each of these fuels will be dependent upon the appliance in which it is burned and the amount of air flow to the fire. The Shelton report which I mentioned above provides some information on the heating efficiency of natural wood and sawdust/wax firelogs. ft is interesting to note that firelogs generally produce the same heat output as an equivalent natural wood fire, and firelogs generate this equivalent heat output with half the mass of fuel required by an equivalent wood fire. This is because sawdust/wax firelogs have roughly twice the amount of fuel energy per pound than natural wood; indicating that firelogs are an extremely efficient fuel source for a fireplace. I have enclosed eight copies of an executive summary and a complete copy of the Shelton Research report for your review. I have also enclosed several copies of a brochure produced by my industry to help educate individuals concerned about the benefits of our products. I hope you find this information enlightening and useful in your discussions about the emissions of fireplaces.

(SRI) measured particulate matter emissions (PM), carbon monoxide emissions (CO), opacity, creosote accumulation and efficiency for two log sizes each from three manufacturers of sawdust-wax firelogs burned in an open fireplace. An additional six tests were run with cordwood of varying species and moisture content to provide a basis for comparison. The firelog brands were Northland, Duraflame, and Pine Mountain. Firelogs were equivalent to or better than wood in all measured parameters except heat output rate. Specifically, the firelogs had lower PM and CO emissions rates by about 66 and 78 percent respectively, had lower creosote accumulation per hour by about 66 percent, had lower opacity, and had comparable efficiency despite a lower burn rate. Opacity was measured continuously and never exceeded the limits of 20 and 40 percent in the Washington State woodburning emissions regulation. All these results are based on using the firelogs as their instructions specify -namely using one log at a time and starting it with a match in a room temperature fireplace. Measurement Methods The measurement methods for PM and CO are among those that have been approved by Oregon and Colorado for wood stove emissions testing. (SRI is a Colorado accredited laboratory.) Particulate matter was measured using the dilution tunnel method. Carbon monoxide was measured using a Horiba PIR-2000 NDIR analyzer sampling from the dilution tunnel. Efficiency was measured using room calorimetry. Emissions opacity was measured using a Wagner model 650 opacity meter located within 2 inches of the top of the stack. Creosote was measured directly by weighing the entire flue before and after burning fuel in the fireplace. Installation Our overall intent in the installation of the fireplace was to duplicate typical real-world conditions. Atypical medium size, zero clearance fireplace (without doors) was used. The fireplace opening was approximately 20 inches high; the hearth was 13 inches in depth and 30 inches wide in the front and 22 inches wide in the back. f Results Based on averages for all cold-to-cold firelog and wood tests, the firelogs were either cleaner than or comparable to the wood for all four emissions-related parameters - PM, CO, creosote, and opacity. A caucus of the Wood Heating Alliance 1101 Connecticut Ave. N.W., Suite 700, Washington, DC 20036, Phone 202 857-1181 Primed on Re . J Paper Emission rates are equal to emission factors times burn rates. The lower emission rates for the firelogs are y attributable partly to lower emission factors and mostly to lower burn rates. (The emission rate is equal to the product of the emission factor and the burn rate.) As indicated in Table 1, the average PM emission factor for the firelogs is slightly lower than that for wood, and the average CO emissions factor is significantly lower. However, the average burn rate for the firelogs was substantially lower than for wood and is the primary reason for he lower emission rates. Table 1. Cold-tacold Results Wood Firelogs Hiah Low Ava.

Although efficiencies for firelogs and wood were roughly comparable, the fact that the firelogs achieved a comparable efficiency at a much lower burn rate is significant; it is likely that the efficiency of wood when used at a similar (mass) burn rate would be significantly less than that of firelogs. The average heat output rate for the period from 30 minutes to 150 minutes was approximately the same for the firelogs and the wood. The similar average heat outputs for firelogs and wood in these tests is due to two compensating factors. The (mass) burn rate for the firelogs tended to be roughly half that of wood. However, the firelogs have roughly twice the amount of fuel energy per pound of log. With roughly comparable energy efficiencies, these factors compensate and result in approximately the same average heat output rate. Table 2. Creosote Results Creosote Fuel Time mass factor rate k~ hr ~ (g/k4) hr Total wood 45.52 33.9 8 .18 .24 Total firelog 43.18 87.6 7 .17 .08 The average creosote accumulation factor (grams of creosote per kilogram of fuel burned) from firelogs was comparable to the factor for wood in this series to within experimental uncertainty. Perhaps more important is the amount of creosote that accumulated per hour of fire. On a per hour basis, the firelogs resulted in less creosote than wood by 66 percent. 2 Opacity is the scientific measure of visible smoke. The average opacity over the measured phases never exceeded 2.9 percent for the firelogs; for the wood tests, a peak average opacity of 19.7 percent occurred for alight- up phase. The peak instantaneous opacity for the firelogs was about 10 percent; the corresponding number for the wood fires was 80 percent.. Dlscusslon ft is tempting to compare the firelog emission rates to existing standards for stoves. The major problem in comparing emissions of firelogs to state and federal stove standards is an incompatibility between the test cycle for stoves and the manufacturers' instructions for use of firelogs. Stoves are tested over ahot-to-hot cycle wherein the test starts when a fuel load is placed on a hot charcoal bed in a hot stove, and ends when the weight of fuel in the fire chamber returns to the original weight of the charcoal bed. The firelog instructions require that the fuel be placed in a room temperature fireplace and be lit with a match. This is a °cold" start. The most natural end to such a test is either when combustion stops or when the fireplace cools back down to room temperature. A cold-to-cold test cycle is more realistic because it includes the whole spectrum of burning phases which inevitable occurs in homes. Conclusions In this study a direct comparison of performance of firelogs to wood burned in the same open fireplace using the same cold-to-cold test cycle showed that firelogs were equivalent to or better than wood in all measured parameters except heat output rate. The tests were conducted at SRI's laboratory in Santa Fe, NM during August and September, 1988 by Doug Sorensen under the supervision of Jay Shelton. Copy of entire report available upon request.

TO: Town Council FROM: Art in Public Places Board DATE: February 19, 1991 RE: Request to place "Big Bull" sculpture on Gore Creek Promenade Applicant: John Cogswell On February 4, 1991 the Art in Public Places Board (AIPP) reviewed a request to place the sculpture "Big Bull" by Chris Navarro on Gore Creek Promenade in front of Cogswell Gallery for approximately six weeks. (See attached site plan and picture of sculpture.) Upon review of the piece, the Board discussed a number of items including whether or not it is appropriate for galleries to place pieces for sale on public property. The Board voted 5-0 to deny the request citing: 1) The scale of the piece is inappropriate for the site, and 2) that the antlers of piece pose a hazard and do not meet the AIPP safety requirements. In addition, they felt that there could be impacts on the paving system due to the weight of the piece. The board also recommended that we avoid placing pieces for sale on public property until further discussion has occurred with the Gallery Association. After staff notified the applicant of the AIPP decision, he revised the request to allow the piece to be sited at the proposed location for only two days. The Board was contacted by telephone for comment. Of the five who voted formally at the February 4th meeting, three of the members indicated that they felt that the placement of the piece would be inappropriate for any amount of time for the same reasons discussed under the original denial. The remaining members were unavailable for comment . Attached please find the AIPP Review Criteria and section of guidelines which deal with Temporary Artwork.
