Item No. 5 was an appeal of the March 6, 1991, Design Review Board decision to approve the Christiania Lodge remodel, 356 Hanson Ranch Road, Part of Lot D, Block 2, Vail Village 1st Filing. Applicant: Jack Morton Associates, Inc., represented by Peter Harris Rudy. Jill Kammerer gave a brief presentation of the project and stated that it had been unanimously approved by the Design Review Board. Peter Rudy presented the appeal. The first issue .of the appeal, that the application violates the Zoning Code of the Town of Vail, was addressed by Larry Eskwith. Larry stated that the proper forum to appeal this issue was the Planning Commission and that Council should consider only Design Review issues. The second issue in the appeal raised by Mr. Rudy was that the application failed to resolve serious parking problems in the neighborhood, relating to Tract P-3 and J. Jay Peterson, attorney for the Christiania Lodge, stated the site becomes less non-conforming through the combination of existing accommodation units into suites. The net result is a reduction in unit count from 14.5 to 9 1 r, dwelling units. Nine dwelling units is the maximum unit count allowable under zoning. A reduction in required parking results from a reduction in unit count. Under the redevelopment proposal reviewed by DRB, this non- conforming site will actually become less non-conforming following the expansion; traffic congestion and parking will be reduced. Jay stated the Christiania has also agreed, with the Design Review Board, to landscape any parking lots the Christiania may utilize once property ownership of Parcels P-3 and J is resolved. Larry Eskwith said determination of lot ownership is not within the Design Review Board's purview, and the Christiania's project expansion will not impact parking requirements, regardless of the ownership resolution. The final issue raised by Mr. Rudy dealt with a pending ordinance regarding the adoption of a view corridor down Hanson Ranch Road. Jay Peterson stated photographs of the encroachments into the proposed view ;corridor had been provided to the DRB for their review; the Board was satisfied the project did not encroach adversely. Larry Eskwith stated this view corridor has not yet been considered by the Town Council or passed by ordinance, and is not presently the law of the Town of Vail. Merv Lapin made a motion to uphold the Design Review Board's decision, which was seconded by Lynn Fritzlen. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Item No. 6 on the agenda was Ordinance No. 3, Series of 1991, first• reading, an ordinance amending Sections 8.10.020 and 8.10.030 of the" Municipal Code of the Town of Vail to provide for increased fees in the provision of fire protection services out of the Town limits; and setting forth details in regard thereto.Mayor Rose read the title in full. Larry Eskwith presented the ordinance to Council, stating the fees may be adjusted annually for inflation, and a provision was included allowing the Town of Vail to enter into contracts with property owners outside the Town limits. Upon questioning, Dick Duran stated the cost for an initial response for a structure fire outside the Town limits would be approximately $1700 per hour. Merv Lapin moved to approve Ordinance No. 3, Series of 1991, on the first reading. Peggy Osterfoss seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Item No. 7 on the agenda was Ordinance No. 4, Series of 1991, first reading, an ordinance enabling the Finance Director of the Town of Vail to declare sales taxes immediately due and payable, if he finds that the collection of the tax would be jeopardized by delay; and setting forth details in regard thereto. Mayor Rose read the title in full. Steve Barwick stated the purpose of the ordinance was to ensure the Town of Vail receives sales tax due when a business closing is imminent.

Peggy Osterfoss seconded the motion. A vote was taken, and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Item No. 10 on the agenda was Resolution No. 11, Series of 1991, a resolution opposing Senate Bill 91-220. Mayor Rose read the title in full. Larry Eskwith stated the Senate Bill amendment, if passed, would change 2 i the entire annexation package to resolve one issue existing between two municipalities, i.e. Thornton and Northglenn, and could negatively impact the Town's ability to annex lands in the future.

A vote was taken, and the motion passed 5- 1, with Lynn Fritzlen opposed. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Kent R. Rose, Mayor ATTEST: Pamela A. Brandmeyer, Town Clerk: Minutes taken by Martha Jensen 3 TO: MIL TOWN COUNCIL FROM: MERV Unfortunately I will not be with you during the "fun time" second reading of the Pay-In-Lieu ordinance to raise the fee to 08,000. I hope that this ordinance passes. I would like to address the main argument given by opponents to the increase when Council failed to pass this legislation )two years ago. The claim was made that the 08,000 fee would inhibit new construction and upgrades. I would like to refute that argument with some figures. 1 parking space would be required for 300 sq. feet of addition cost of addition - 085 to 0100 per sq. feet means a cost of 0:?5, 500 to 030,000 add the 08,000 parking fee to the cast means a total cost for the 300 s q. feet of $33,500 to $38,000 rent charged for the space would be between 050 to 080 per sq. foot, therefore, the addition would generate revenue of from 015,000 to 024,000 conclusion: the space would be paid for in from 1.4 years to 2.53 years. Normally, a good real estate project is paid for in from 7 to 10 years. R pay back of 2.53 years is outstanding! Good 1 uck.

The Town Council has considered the library an important amenity in our resort community and has supported continual expansion of its programs and services. As you might know, the library has branched into arenas which many libraries its size have not, such as video, compact discs, personal computers, lecture series, children's programs, computer assisted information tracking and much, much more. Many visitors have told stories of coming unexpectedly across the library and, to their surprise, spending many hours of their vacation taking advantage of the offerings there. We hope to continue improvement of these offerings which benefit guests and residents alike on a year round basis. It is always nice to receive positive feedback and I thank you again for taking the time to drop us a note. We hope you will visit our mountain community again soon. Sincerely, Rondall V.

Frontage Vail, CO 81657 RE: Westhaven Condominiums Dear Andy, As we previously discussed, there is growing concern with the current condition of the Westhaven property. After speaking with you on December 28, 1990, you indicated that at this time Vail Ventures is the owner of the Westhaven/Ruins property and that there were no plans for work on the project. Frank Freyer later indicated that the project was part of the reorganization plan for the bankruptcy procedures. At that time, Frank indicated that the Town would be supplied with a plan and explanation of the intended improvements to this project. At this time, I have not received any documentation or response to the Town's previous request. The Town is in agreement with neighboring property owners that some - action needs to be taken to clean up the property. Our department feels it would be in everyone's best interest if this were to take place in the near future. If demolition of the project is not possible at this time, the Town would suggest extensive landscaping that would screen the foundations from all possible viewing points. The Town is also interested in discussing the possibility of the site being used for affordable housing. Please contact me as soon as possible with your response to the Town's concerns. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Let's hope we can find a mutually acceptable solution.

The staff is waiting on any major concerns that should be addressed regarding the.plan, as brought up by these two boards. The consultant is currently working on the 1"=50' functional plans for the Frontage Road Improvements as outlined in the plan. The staff will take the functional plans in April to the Design Review Board for conceptual review, in regards to improvements being recommended in the plans. Revisions to these plans will be made and the plans and report will be taken to Planning Commission in April, for a work session and straw votes will be taken regarding specific issues in the plan (loading). The final revisions will be made to the report and plans and they will be brought to the Planning Commission for obtaining a recommendation for Council approval in May. The 1991 Citizen Survey will have numerous questions regarding improvements proposed in the Transportation Study. The results will be used as guides for the Council in adopting the plan and by the staff and Council in further prioritizing the implementation of the improvements. The plan then will be brought to the Council for final adoption in June. The implementation of the plan has and is taking place. Many of the recommendations regarding parking pricing and transit service have taken place. The plan recommends areas of implementation in 1-5 years, 5-10 years and 10-20 years. The improvements were recommended based on need, financing and ease of implementation. t ' MEMORANDUM TO RON PHILLIPS March 28, 1991 Page 2 Specific short term recommendations in which staff is anticipating implementing this year include: Bus System o Minor revision to East Vail route as recommended. o Implementation of the West Vail opposing loops if additional funds are allocated. o Begin conversations with UMTA on ways to fund implementation of the revised shuttle system. o Send out RFI to bus manufacturers to determine interest and financial commitments on developing experimental shuttle vehicles. o Monitor bus statistics and make any revisions to the plan as necessary. Loadina and Delivery o Change out parking and loading area signs as recommended. o Monitor effects of new loading areas, work closely with the CSO's on the effectiveness of enforcing the new areas. o In the resolution of the Christiania parking lot land ownership problem, negotiate the possible use of a building's Gore Creek Drive frontage level for use as a truck loading area. o Work closely with the Vail Village Streetscape Master Plan to ensure adequate areas for truck delivery parking are provided for. Bicycle/Pedestrians o Conduct the Vail Open Space Master Plan and Recreation . Path Feasibility Study to determine the practicality of an off-street bike path from East Vail to Dowd Junction. o Continue to work on the Dowd Junction Path with all - involved to see if a project can occur. o Work with the Highway Department to ensure any improvements to the Frontage Road include six (6) foot shoulders for bike lanes. o Continue to implement projects in the Rec Trails Master Plan. o Continue to request funding for sidewalk projects. o Work closely with the Vail Village Streetscape Master . Plan to ensure that further pedestrianism and reduction of vehicles in the Village area is enhanced through the improvements proposed. r MEMORANDUM TO RON PHILLIPS March 26, 1991 Page 3 Frontage Road Improvements o Work with Colorado Department of Highways to ensure that any improvements of the Frontage Road take into account improvements laid out in the Town's functional plans. o Work on obtaining funding for Frontage Road improvements from the State. o Make as a top priority, obtaining funds for the I-70 underpass near Simba Run. o Monitor traffic data and make any revisions to the plan as necessary. I-70 Improvements o Work with Colorado Department of Highways and FHWA on a test project of closing down the I-70 Main Vail ramps serving traffic to and from the east during peak periods .

Box 567 Palmer lake, Colorado 80133 {719)481-2003 FAX (719)481-4013 } March 18, 1991 Honorable Roy Romer Governor, State of Colorado State Capitol Building Denver, CO 80203 Re: Larne Water Conservation Reservoir For Colorado Dear Governor Romer: In Jim Scherer's December 7th speech to the Metropolitan Denver Water Authority (enclosed), he promised that EPA will help Colorado find a large water storage alternative for the vetoed Two Forks Dam. EPA knows that Colorado needs a dedicated conservation reservoir that is large enough to hold several years of wet year surplus for use during severe multi-year drought cycles. Small reservoirs are more useful for seasonal instead of cyclical fluctuations. Unfortunately, Colorado does not have an organized water planning process to evaluate state water issues, such as large reservoirs. Our company was formed in 1982 by a group of retired Bureau of Reclamation executive engineers, who spent lifetimes planning large water conservation projects for Western states. Since joining our company, these experts have not been inhibited by old water rights and institutional constraints in their objective search for Colorado's optimal large reservoir project. As a result of their experience and freedom, Colorado's Union Park Water Conservation Project was conceived. From our .continuing analysis of Union Park, we have no doubt that this ongoing project has environmental and economic advantages that are unprecedented in the water development world. . Union Park's million acre-feet of off-river storage on the Gunnison side of the Continental Divide will help Colorado solve its four most critical water problems: 1) it will protect the West and East slope's environment and economy during the inevitable multi-year droughts; 2) it will concurrently satisfy Metro Denver's 50 year growth needs for about half the safe yield cost of Two Forks; 3) it will also help correct Colorado's severely unbalanced water usage between its wetter, untapped Gunnison Basin and its over-depleted Upper Colorado Basin; and 4) it will save some of Colorado's unused river compact entitlements from being permanently lost by default to California's water crisis and growing political clout. In short, Union Park's multiple benefits far outweigh the impact of inundating a remote, sage-covered bowl that can be the world's most efficient conservation reservoir. March 22, 1991 AURORA DECISION IMPR.OVF?S COLORADO WA-rrtc FUTURE Dear Editor: The March 15th Crested Butte Chronicle quotes Tom~Griswold, Aurora utility director, as saying: "Both projects (Aurora's Collegiate and Arapahoe County's Union Park) are subject to the same legal and environmental impediments. Both are widely opposed on the Western Slope. I don't think you can differen- tiate between them." That statement is incorrect, self-serving and potentially damaging to Colorado's water future. Griswold is the expert that mislead Aurora into wasting $2 million on a Gunnison diversion concept that was never technically feasible. Aurora's political leaders wisely halted the travesty with their March 7th decision to drop the Collegiate project. Collegiate was environmentally and operationally flawed because it would divert continuously to East Slope storage (Two Forks), where the water could not be managed to protect the Gunnison's water based way of life. The project was also not politically feasible, because it would destroy a state fish hatchery and one of Colorado's most scenic tourist routes. Griswold could salvage his credibility and help Colorado if he would accept the fact that Uniori Park is a totally unprecedented concept with state-wide environmental benefits when fully understood. Union Park's large, off-river Gunnison reservoir will assure more water in Gunnison rivers, when needed, than ever before. An average 6% of the Gunnison's wasted flood flows will also be efficiently used for Metro Denver, instead California growth. The safe yield cost for Metro Denver water users will be half that of Two Forks. Much of Union Park's large drought cycle storage will be dedicated to added environmental and economic protection of Gunnison water interests: The Collegiate project has been an unfortunate drag on Colorado's water future, because it has clouded public understanding of Union Park's large reservoir benefits for both slopes. Aurora leaders can quickly repair the damage and improve Colorado's water future by joining all Coloradoans in support of ` the world's finest water conservation project. d.~st Dave Miller P.O. Box 567 Palmer Lake, CO (719) 481-2003 Union Park's unique site and concept are truly invaluable assets for all of Colorado. Although farsighted Arapahoe County is currently carrying the entire development load, there are many good reasons why the project should be supported by the state and all Colorado citizens. With an early statewide consensus, Union Park could be completed in 10 years. It could also be totally funded in less time, if Colorado would temporarily lease half of its wasted Gunnison entitlements to water-short California. Your personal initiatives to get Colorado moving in the competitive Western water arena will be greatly appreciated by all Coloradoans. We will be honored to provide briefings and free technical assistance for a state/EPA evaluation of Colorado's large reservoir options. Please advise, and thank you for your consideration.

This program is ' currently funded through the RETT Fund at $100,000 per year. f MEMORANDUM TO TOWN COUNCIL March 22, 1991 Page 2 5. Neighborhood Tree Planting Program This type of program has been successfully implemented in other communities. It could consist of a grant type program where individual homeowners or homeowner groups receive funding to plant trees on their property. Trees would be planted to Town of Vail specifications within a specified distance from a roadway. The homeowner would agree to water and maintain the trees. The quantity of trees that can be planted is, of course, dependent on the funding level. The typical costs to purchase, install and guarantee nursery grown trees are as follows: o Evergreen Tree (8'-10' tall) $400.00 each o Deciduous Shade Tree (22" caliper) $230.00 each o Aspen Tree (2" caliper) $110.00 each Trees, even native species, need supplemental water for at least the first few years following planting. This helps ensure that the tree gets off to a good start, is more disease resistant and maintains a healthier appearance. Watering requires either an automatic irrigation system or hand watering. There are costs associated with both. An automatic irrigation system has a higher capital cost but lower operating and maintenance costs. The opposite is true of hand watering. I believe that automatic irrigation systems are more economical and efficient than hand watering. Expansion of the Town's parks/open space/landscaping system will necessitate an increase in personnel, vehicles and equipment at certain points in time. All the planting opportunities discussed previously with the exception of the Neighborhood Tree Program would be an expansion of our system. I can elaborate on these costs if the Council desires.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 8165'i Dear Peggy, In response to your inquiry of earlier today, this is to confirm that I was correctly quoted in the Vail Tram, and Vail Daily and am ne longer working on the 2000 to i acre "Tannenbaum" land exchange. Mr. Tannenbaum ~.nstructed me to cease work on the proposal late last year, and as far as i am aware, neither Mr. Tannenbaum or anyone else has plans to revive the proposal. If I were ever involved again, I would certainly infoxtin and brief the Town...just as I did last spring when the debate began. Throughout the Tannenbaum debate, it was distressfng Por me to witness an attitude on behalf of at least some in the Vail c........unity that Mr. Tannenbaum, I, or someone i~ Colorado's cangr~assional delegation would attempt to secretively slip the legislation through without an opportunity for public comment and debate. Not only could we not survive in business that way, but based on aver 16 years of working in and around Capital Hill, it is my experience that major land transactions such as this IIeve~ get processed in a secretive manner. I can certainly attest that the II.S. House Ynter~.or Committee, where I worked far 10 years and where the Tannenbaum bill would have been jointly referred on the House aide, does not approve land related legislation without a formal hearing and markup. Further, I cannot conceive that Congressmen or Senators from any State would agre® to process legislation affecting their constituents in secret. So I would hope that if this exchange proposal proved anything, it is that the Congressional process is extremely open, and that Congressmen and senators are very sensitive to concerns of their constituents. I also hope that the Town feels xagovsek & Associates ~+as fair with you on this procedurally. One of my very first actions after finally assembling the land exchange proposal last winter was to brief Ran Phillips, fallawed by two sessions with the Town Council. Aftor those meetings I not only attempted to address the Town's concerns with the initial proposal, but also offered sot4e thoughts about •Spraddle Creek, the maintenance shed, and the larger Vail/Forest service boundary question. I did that because even though I disagreed with the Town on our particular exchange, I am 1420'l~inity Place • Yti01 Broadway + Deavet~ Colorado 80202 • ~96lJ. 14661'ennaplva"i6~ Ave N W. • Suite 950 • WasluuBEgn.

Finally, I grant to thpnk you for your kindness and the Council's hospitality, despite our disagreements, during What seamed like a neverending series of debates and press salvos last spring and fall. This was a very intriguing debate, with some fascinating policy issues...and I still cart't believe all the attention we gvt. However, I'm sure you're happy its all over, and so am Y. Even though I do land exchanges and other Federal lands matters for a living, it's nat fun to go against thw wishes oP local officials in a matter arhere .their posftior? is so obviously heartfelt.
