Adjournment cuc~oawsE ~1 town of pail 7b south froetsge road vall, colo?ado 81657 (303) 479-2100 office of mayor January 17, 1991 Mr. Perry Olson, Director Colorado Division of Wildlife 6060 Broadway Denver, CO 80216 Dear Mr. Olson: 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 activities 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. Mr. Perry Olson January 17, 1991 Page 2 Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ren Hughey, Assistant Town Manager, at (303) 479-2210. Your support and cooperation is appreciated.

Rose, Mayor 75 S. Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mr. Rose: The Division of Wildlife is both sensitive to and cognisant of the controversy associated with trapping in Colorado. We also recognize that in certain locals high concentrations of recreationists can result in significant conflicts with other uses of public land. These however are not limited to trapping. They include a wide array of uses such as livestock grazing, wildlife photography, firearms/archery hunting, etc. The answer to these conflicts is not systematically closing the area to any one of these uses nor is the perceived problem limited to the Vail valley. The Division is interested in minimizing these conflicts and have found that dissemination of proper information and public education on both sides provides the best solution. In order to accomplish this, we must first define what the real problem is. Second, we should investigate all possible solutions. Then of course, implement those which result in the least impact to all parties involved. We would be most happy to work with you in this regard. Hopefully together we can minimize the conflicts without adversely effecting either side. Please contact Bilt Andree of our Division and set up a meeting to discuss the situation. If I can be of additional assistance please contact me. Sincerely ' Hal Burdick Assistant Regional Manager HB:cr cc: Konishi Andree DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Hamlet J.

During the discussion, Council requested that the legal description for the view corridor be written to accommodate the Christiania expansion. After first reading, staff met with Dan Corcoran, the surveyor for the project, to determine how to define a legal description based on a future addition. During the site visit, staff found that the roof ridges were not visible from the point of origin because the aspen tree leaves block the line of site from Frivolous Sals to the Christiania roof. As a result, staff will have to wait until fall to shoot the corridor when the roof lines are completely visible. Once that has been accomplished, staff will bring the ordinance back to Town Council for second reading. We anticipate that this will be in mid-October. 7-3v ~~L ~ i i 07/30/81 08:23 $`303 282 7788 KtJTAR ROCK DEN ~J UU2/UU3 _ _,.w i KCTTAK ROCS 8e CA14~p~ELL A PARZ1Vp!¢N76 INCL.UDDiO aw~~~ SAL COW~OY.I?'RON6 ARAN?A • ZROQ AIi'DD T(3WF.7j BATON ROUOL' 1OT 3t1+F3~.uc..~..i SlREeT R,OS ~?NG~b4 T+avr rowc nom, cotostnoo b..=.~~aza o~norca emr • vMAHw (30~ 29'7'-400 ne gAC$1MIL.E: C~~) 292.779q Wti5!lAt07~ON Julp 29, 1991 CIA ~r~~ECdPjI fir.

SOOlB00 f~j H3Q }I~02~ gVVSClg 86LL Z8Z SOE$, 8i' ~ T8/OE/LO The Following will appear in the July 11-12, 1991 Wildlife Commission Minutes: Dr. Len Carpenter advised the Division recommends dealing with the trapping closures next year in the normal sequence of regulation consideration. Dr. Carpenter said if the Commission wishes differently, it can be brought back in September for consideration. Mr. Dwight Coppock, President of Colorado Trappers Association, urged the Commission to read DWM Bill Andree's report, specifically his concerns and recommendations. Mr. Coppock stated, Mr. Andree wanted to make sure the Commission is aware the Vail City Council & Eagle County Commissioners basically did not call for a public hearing on the trapping issue. They heard from one side & took action accordingly. Mr. Coppock advised he did attend one public meeting at the library the end of last November. The CTA took responsibility & participated in resolution of what it thought was the problem. Mr. Coppock said the cases that have come up are almost exclusively one individual. There are eight active trappers in the Vail area. There was one individual that had problems and was cited for trespassing on City of Vail property to attend his traps on national forest lands. Mr. Coppock said CTA volunteered to fulfill a part of the individuals sentence by getting him a decent education on trapping. CTA went with the individual and assisted him in removing traps, then gave him nine hours of on- line training. Mr. Coppock stated the primary groups involved is using this opportunity to advance their cause, which is to ban trapping in the Vail Valley as well as hunting. Mr. Coppock said the 500 foot zone would eliminate beaver trapping. Mr. Coppock indicated in every case the dogs were running at large and were in violation of the leash law. They were running in winter range for deer and elk. Mr. Coppock advised he has talked to Colorado Wool Growers and they are concerned about coyote lasses and losses due to the dogs running. Mr. Coppock stated another issue being brought up is the human safety issue which is a red herring. Mr. Coppock said there is no example of a human being hurt. Mr. Jim Hooks, CTA, advised he lives in Summit County and traps in Eagle County and has not had any trouble with catching dogs in traps. Mr. Hooks stated in incidents cited involve one beginning trapper. CTA has taken it upon itself to show this individual where to set his traps and how. Mr. Hooks advised he was at the public meeting in Vail and from the discussion does not believe its a safety issue. Mr. Hooks said the Vail Humane Society wants to ban trapping and hunting in the Vail Valley. Mr. Hooks said his concern was if something like this happens in Eagle County, it will happen in Summit County also. Mr. Hooks didn't feel it is a trapping, but rather a dog at large problem. Mr. Bob Slagle, Vail Animal Control Officer, stated the issue is mislabeled and misunderstood. It does not deal with hunting, it deals with proximity. Mr. Slagle said everyone needs to understand trapping leaves behind a silent means of taking and is not observed when in action. Mr. Slagle stated the town of Vail wants the Commission to scrutinize location. Mr. Slagle said there are a lot of people on the trails at different time of the year. Mr. Slagle advised the only place there are leash laws are on Eagles Nest and downtown Vail. Outside town limits, dogs must be under control. Mr. Slagle stated is not asking the Commission to eliminate anything, it is just asking the Commission to help with proximity by establishing a rule that no traps be set within 500 feet of an established road or trailway. Commissioner Swift asked what the definition of an established trial is. Mr. Slagle advised those trails that are commonly used and identified at a trailhead. Mr. Slagle said Vail is not looking for something that is a blanket. Commissioner Hegberg asked if 15, 50 or 100 feet adequate distance? Mr. Slagle stated Vail has no problem with the footage _ _ 500 is not a magic number. Commissioner Swift asked what the definition of an established trail is. Mr. Slagle advised those trails that are commonly used and identified at a trailhead. Mr. Slagle said Vail is not looking for something that is a blanket. Commissioner Swift asked in issuing citations, what is the definition of a dog being under control. Mr. Slagle said if the dog is out of sight and hearing, it is out of control. If the owner calls the dog and it keeps roving, it is out of control. If the dog returns on call, it is under control. Chairman Cooper suggested there be signs on established trails warning people with dogs there are traps within so many feet of the trail. Mr. Slagle stated that would not be a problem but who would be responsible ,for the signs. Commissioner Cooper said that would have to be worked out. Ms. Blondie Vucich, President of Vail Valley Humane Society, advised Vail has no hidden agenda and has not set out to ban trapping or hunting. Ms. Vucich stated the town is looking at this as a safety issue but is not locked into the 500 feet. Chairman Cooper stated Eagle Co. is asking the Commission to impose a regulation with a buffer zone which would affect the whole state. Mr. Cooper said there is a need to be realistic about this and 500 feet is not realistic. Mr. Cooper asked Ms. Vucich what her reaction is to areas being identified where trapping is done. Ms. Vucich said it would definitely be helpful but feels the setback would be more beneficial. Mr. Dennis Bergstad stated he is not a trapper but spends upwards of 4-5 months in Eagle Co. Mr. Bergstad said he is running into significant problems with dogs chasing deer. Mr. Bergstad stated running 500 feet from a trail is not consistent with federal wilderness regulations. Mr. Bergstad advised the Commission needs to be very careful when it does any change in trapping regulations. Mr. Don Everett of Vail advised he is a bird hunter and has not had a problem with his dog and traps. Mr. Everett said he is only asking the Commission to take some action on the request from Vail asking for a setback. Chairman Cooper advised the Commission has two ways to go. It can ask Division staff for specific recommendations for the September meeting or defer action until it is handled in the regulation process next year. Commissioner Hegberg questioned how many acres would be impacted when a 500 foot setback was laid out on a map. Mr. Hegberg expressed a concern for the statewide implications, since the Division does not address issues city by city but statewide. Whatever the Commission does it affects _ statewide. Mr. Hegberg said anything the Commission adopts needs to be the result of formal recommendations of those county commissioners as a part of the process. Commissioner Hegberg felt the Division should continue to pursue some possible solutions and not act on the trapping issue in September, and particularly identify areas where there are problems with high traffic use on trails, as well as other municipalities where there are other issues. Commissioner Frank concurred with Mr. Hegberg in terms of September might be too quick. Ms. Frank feels the Commission should address this issue since it has requests from Eagle and Vail before it. Ms. Frank said she doesn't want to see it get tied up in the whole trapping issue because it is a separate issue. Ms. Frank said she feels the Commission should wait until it gets requests from other problem areas before them. Ms. Frank stated her request would be to work with the Vail Town Council and get formal resolutions and also from Eagle Co. Ms. Frank said the Commission is not looking at Eagle Co. generally but specifically needs to take the town of Vail and focus on the problems statewide. Ms. Frank stated she would like to see a couple things come out of the discussions with Vail Town Council and Eagle Co. Commissioners. Division staff should perhaps come back in Sept. or Nov. on what the buffer zone plan might look like. Ms. Frank _ felt there is some merit to posting and if Vail feels there is, there should be a financial commitment that should be included in the discussions. Ms. Frank said the signage concept is interesting and feels Dr. Carpenter should look at the pros and cons. Commissioner VanDenBerg stated what Ms. Frank said should be seen as a signal to county commissioners that the Commission probably will not be setting regulations involving the whole county but will deal with issue of close proximity around Vail. Chairman Cooper agreed the issue should be narrowed down to the problem that exists in Vail. Mr. Cooper suggested Dr. Carpenter work with the Vail people and look at the city very closely to see whether or not signs would be an alternative. The Division should involve trappers and town of Vail so all aspects are considered and it doesn't curtail trapping and considers forewarning for people using the trails. Mr. Cooper said he is opposed to making any blanket and regulation affecting the whole county or entire state. Commissioner Hegberg advised that the community that requests this needs to be responsible for animal damage in areas where trapping might be controlled. Mr. Slagle advised Vail is not asking for a ban. If you move the traps to a better location you are still going to control that animal. Commissioner Swift stated if town of Vail and Eagle Co. responds to the Commission, it would be a good idea they cover in the letter any responsibility they will take for damage. . It was moved by Ms. Frank and seconded by Mr. VanDenBerg to 'direct the Division to work with the town of Vail and County of Eagle to come up with a very narrow Vail specific plan that includes, but not limited to reasonable buffer zones, the city and/or county accept financial and other responsibility for any type of trapping that needs to be done and report to Commission in Sept. or Nov. meetings. . y j Roll call note: Chavez-yes; Eve-no; Frank-yes; Swift-yes; VanDenBerg-yes; Wright-absent; Cooper-yes; motion carried.
