Discussion Re: The Vail Environmental Quality Award Program. Russell Forest Caroline Fisher Action Requested of Council: Approve/deny/modify the Vail Environmental Quality Award Program. Backaround Rationale: The success of Vail as an internationally recognized ski resort is largely attributable to the outstanding natural resources and pristine environmental quality of the area. Ensuring the integrity of our natural resources requires proactive environmental action from government, businesses, and residents. Using environmentally friendly products, converting to gas fireplaces, recycling, planting trees, and conserving water and electricity are just a few steps that businesses and individuals can take to improve environmental quality. The purpose of the environmental quality award is to encourage businesses and residents to implement creative programs to protect the 1 environment. (Please see enclosed memo from Community Development to Vail Town Council dated February 22, 1993, for further information about the purpose, background, award criteria, and award procedure for the Vail Environmental Quality Award.) Staff Recommendation: Approve the Vail Environmental Quality Award Program. 02:20 P.M. 8. Discussion Re: Policy Alternatives for Protecting Community Forest Russell Forrest Resources. Jim Curnutte Todd Oppenheimer Action Reauested of Council: Review the three policy alternatives for protecting community forest resources and choose the most appropriate one or reject all three alternatives. Backaround Rationale: The Town has experienced five incidents recently where individuals have removed healthy trees without Town approval. The Town currently has a very restrictive regulation (Chapter 18.54.030) on vegetation removal that requires property owners to receive approval from the Design Review Board before any live vegetation is removed. (See enclosed memo from Community Development and Public Works dated January 28, 1993, for further information about the purpose, background, approach, evaluation of alternatives, and summary of policy alternatives for protecting community forest resources. Staff Recommendation: Staff has identified three broad alternative policies for managing forest resources in the community and evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of each. Staff recommends that a clear policy be developed that protects sensitive forest resources in the community while allowing property owners to reasonably care for vegetation on their property. 02:50 P.M. 9. Discussion Re: TOV/Telecommunications Management Corp. Cable Larry Eskwith Television Refranchising Consulting Services Agreement. Action Reauested of Council: Approve/deny/modify Agreement.

For nearly a decade, individuals, groups, organizations, schools and institutions throughout the valley have made use of the station for the purposes of expression, education, entertainment, information and the exchange of opinions and ideas. WCTV is broadcast continuously on cable channel 23, serving TCI basic cable subscribers in the upper Eagle Valley. The coverage area includes residents of Avon, Vail, Minturn, Eagle-Vail, Edwards, Arrowhead, Singletree and Beaver Creek. Funding WCTV is a non-profit organization and is funded by contributions from the Town of Avon, Town of Minturn and the Town of Vail; plus annual operating support by TCI Cablevision of the Rockies; individual memberships; foundations; and program sponsorships by Vail Valley businesses. The station's annual operating budget is $90,000. Staff, Internship and Volunteers WCTV employs an executive director and a part-time studio manager. More than 100 volunteers are used each year to help produce programming for the station. In addition, a student internship program has been created for area high school juniors and seniors. Volunteer Recruitment Each month, an hour-long television production workshop is held at the Channel 23 studios to recruit and train community producers.

The purpose of the program will be to enforce the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A17.1-1 Safety Codes for elevators, escalators, dumbwaiters and moving walks. (The Denver Regional Council of Governments has been operating a similar program for over ten years and found it to be a cost-effective alternative for their local governments.) After analyzing the need, costs and safety value of the program the NWCCOG Board decided that regional sponsorship is appropriate and the program will be a . valuable service to our membership. NWCCOG has recently hired William (Billy) Hulse as Elevator Inspector. We are ready to begin service and ask you to review this document and have it signed by the proper authority if you would like to start this service in your jurisdiction. NWCCOG agrees to provide an inspector to conduct elevator and - escalator safety inspections in 'your community for the term from February 1, 1993 to December 31, 1993. We will provide you with an annual programmatic and fiscal report. NWCCOG is responsible for verifying the credentials of the inspector and the inspector shall be an employee of NWCCOG. NWCCOG is responsible for all accounting aspects of the program including billing $150.00 /year to building owners for the required two inspections/year and issuing certificates once/year. You have adopted or will adopt the current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators in the form of a local ordinance. Eagle County: Avon, Basalt, Eagle, Gypsum, Minturn, Red Cliff, Vail, ' Grand County: Fraser, Granby, Grand Lake, Hot Sulphur Springs, Kremmling, Winter Park, 'Jackson County: Walden, ' Pitkin County: Aspen, Snowmass Village, ' Routt County: Hayden, Oak Creek, Steamboat Springs, Yampa, 'Summit County: Blue River, Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco, Montezuma, Silverthorne Elevator Inspection Program Letter of Agreement Page 2 You agree to assist the inspector while they work in your jurisdiction and to specify the level and type of authority to be assumed by the inspector while working in your jurisdiction. You may appoint one representative to serve on the Region XII Elevator Inspection Program Advisory Committee which establishes operating rules and oversees the program. NWCCOG assumes no liability for any costs, damages, claims or other acticn~ that may be brought by third parties against any municipality or county for any occurrence or injury arising out of the operation of any elevator. Scheduling of the inspector occurs following receipt of this signed agreement. Please sign below and return to me at your earliest convenience in order to become a participant in the elevator inspection program. Please keep a copy for your files. We welcome your participation in the Elevator Inspection Program and look forward to working with you this year. Si cerely, . i da Venturoni, Co-Executive Director D~tfe ' Northwest Colorado Council of Governments ' Approved, Signature Date Title Town of Vail c.c. Building Inspector Y- ~ TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development DATE: February 22, 1993 SUBJECT: The Vail Environmental Quality Award Staff: Russell Forrest & Caroline Fischer Purpose: The purpose of the Vail Environmental Quality Award Program is to recognize lodges, businesses, and residents for outstanding actions or programs that protect the environment and promote sustainable development. This award is intended to promote environmentally sound practices and encourage innovative environmental initiatives to protect our resort community. This award will be used in helping to market Vail as an environmentally friendly community. Vail businesses could also use this award to promote their environmentally friendly practices. The Town of Vail is also seeking businesses or individuals who would be interested in supporting the Environmental Quality Award program by donating prises, making monetary contributions to defray the cost of the award, or providing advertisement space or time. Businesses and individuals who assist in the program will receive their name on a permanent plaque placed in the Vail Municipal Building, media recognition, and a Vail Environmental Quality Award certificate. Potential benefits of this award include: • promote environmental awareness; • encourage residents and businesses to implement creative programs to protect the environment; • make environmental protection a marketing tool for Vail and its businesses. Background: The success of Vail as an internationally recognized ski resort is largely attributable to the outstanding natural resources and pristine environmental quality of the area. Ensuring the integrity of our natural resources requires proactive environmental action from government, businesses, ~?nd residents. The Town of Vail is implementing programs and policies to protect sensitive natural habitat, reduce water pollution from runoff, and promote voluntary conversion to g;as fireplaces. However, government can only do so much to directly reduce pc~"iition and protect natural resources. Using environmentally friendly products, convert~c~; to gas fireplaces, recycling, planting trees, and conserving water and electricity are just a few steps that businesses and individuals can take to improve environmental quality. These actions protect the environment and they often make good economic sense. For instance, a local lodge which recently converted to gas fireplaces will save $12,000 annually on fuel. Award Criteria: Businesses and individuals will be considered for the award by demonstrating the successful completion of any one of the actions or projects in the categories of air quality, waste management, natural habitat protection, and resource conservation which are described below. A) Air Quality • Convert from wood burning fireplaces to gas burners, EPA phase II wood burning fireplaces, or EPA certified wood pellet stoves. • Use natural gas, solar energy, or electricity to power fleet or individual vehicles. B) Waste Management: • Significantly reduce waste output at home or in a business by generating less waste, reusing materials, and/or recycling. Applicants must demonstrate that they are: 1) producing less waste because they are using less wasteful products, 2) maximizing the reuse of products, and 3) have implemented an effective recycling program. • Replace toxic materials used in a business with more environmentally friendly products. • Develop for your business a program to purchase recycled office supplies as well as implement a recycling program. • Volunteer over 40 hours at We Recycle. C) Natural Habitat Protection • Donate sensitive habitat or its development rights in the Vail Valley to a protective land trust or a government agency willing to manage and protect the land. • Organize and lead a program to protect natural habitat (e.g. erosion control, litter pick-up, vegetation remediation, trail work). The applicant must receive authorization from the property owner or the governmental agency where the project will occur. - Volunteer over 40 hours of time to working on a natural habitat preservation program in Eagle County. D) Resource Conservation • Develop and implement an employee program to carpool, bike, walk, or take public transit to work. ~ , • Reduce energy or water usage by 20% over a 1 year period. The applicant must show a water or power bill to demonstrate savings and show that the use of the house or building had not changed significantly. • Design and build energy and water efficient homes or buildings in the Town of Vail. Other types of environmental programs will be considered (e.g. sponsoring environmental workshops/or symposiums, developing environmental education programs, providing assistance for environmental programs in the Vail Valley). However, it is recommended that applicants contact the Environmental Health office before initiating the project. To apply for an award, applicants must submit a letter to the Town of Vail, Environmental Health Office, Community Development Department with the following information: a. Name of individual or point of contact for a business, address, and phone number b. Description of the environmental project or program c. Benefits of the program Award Procedure: Applications will be reviewed by the Environmental Health Office. Those applications which meet the award criteria will be recommended for an award to the Planning and Environment Commission. Site visits may be required to verify the successful implementation of an environmental program or project. Each award will consist of a certificate to display at the recipients place of work, and recognition in the local media. Each year, all the environmental award recipients will be reviewed ~~~.~d the business and the individual having the best environmental program will receive the Vail Environmental Business/Individual of the Year Award. Staff is currently evaluating the following prizes for individuals: parking pass, ski pass, or recreation pass. Potential prizes for businesses include a parking pass, ski pass or $1000 off their annual business license fee. In addition, annual winners will receive a personal plaque, have their names added to a plaque displayed in the Town building, and receive media recognition at an awards ceremony. Staff is currently finding sponsors to provide prizes or monetary contributions to defray the cost of this award program. Public Service and Vail Associates have already expressed interest in supporting the Vail Environmental Quality Award. • DRAFT MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development and Public Works DATE: January 28, 1993 SUBJECT: Policy Alternatives for Protecting Community Forest Resources STAFF: Todd Oppenheimer, Russell Forrest, Jim Curnutte I. PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to outline alternative strategies to protect mature trees in the Town and provide property owners with a reasonable ability to care for vegetation without receiving Town approval. The primary objectives of this policy review are to evaluate approaches to: ¦ Protect mature trees on private and public property, ¦ Provide property owners with the freedom to maintain reasonable care of their trees without Town review, ¦ Protect trees during construction, and ¦ Strengthen and clarify Town policy on tree removal. II. BACKGROUND Trees provide an important source of habitat for wildlife, reduce atmospheric C02 and the greenhouse effect, maintain soil stability, and significantly add to the character and aesthetics of the community. Trees are extremely important in giving winter and summer guests an impression that Vail has a natural character rather than being a "hard" built up resort. There also seems to be a consensus in the community that there needs to be a greater balance between development and environmental protection. The Town faces two challenges in protecting community forest resources: 1) preventing valuable trees from being removed by property owners without town approval and 2) direct or indirect damage to trees during construction. The Town has experienced five incidents recently where individuals have removed healthy trees without Town approval. The Town currently has a very restrictive regulation (chapter 18.54.030) on vegetation removal that requires property owners to receive approval from the Design Review Board before any live vegetation is removed. 1 i i . ~<>~.~~~:G~3:::.1'SX:.~~W' ::>~:>Ct~a ter:.~£3>~x4.f~31:1:.:~est rt;;.....r .::.:::.P...::::::::: .::::::::::::::::..:...:..:.::.:.0........AP.:.....:..............,.........::.:::::::::::::::::::::::.::::. :>:'``flf ve~ stet ``.n e . s t re ara <::::>::::A.::>:Na::::Personsl~ai ::~r~€ne~c~:::.r..ern~>cal ~o..:.........................__:.:::::.~>.:.:::::.::::.:..9::.:::::::;:::.::::::::;:.~:>:>::::~:::.:::. 9::::::::::::::::: P:::::.:.........:.,.............::....:...:.:::.:.................:......::::::::. ~ n urn ~ f ma erEal.:u ~1::::~::.5112 :<Sr n..e.r.~t?on ext~rtor.:~Iterat~or~::nrer~l~r ~rne~t::~rf:>~f'!::>:: >:.;;:.;exsstt : ::structure av?n fenc?n >:ar other ?m roverr~nts:af.::°:::::n:;s:.ace~nrtlhsn the t: {imiis°p.>> tom ~.:1~.:::.:::.0, 9....:::::::::::.:::.:::...P _ P::.:::::::::::.:::::.::.:::::::::::.: ~ n;: r r scrtlae~i::fn<afi~:>~h~::. ~r:><;~:~ie:< .»<:>at~e~T~vwfi:a~f:>Va?1::€?~?less.::~ies a ravel.: ~as..l~e~n: ant~l::a~...:: ~ ...........................................a~...................::.:... :::::13.:::.:: P.P.::::::: 9,.:..:::.::.::..:::.::.:R:..:::::..:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::.::::::::.~ 1 f: tariEl<riiaterlaf':Io ex~sti lari~sca > t arde:n~ :>and laridsca~ a>iairttenaf:?e~~h~ll~:t~e<> >~:addlt. on: o p: ~3,::0:.:::.::::::!~9::...::::.:::.:............... p.....................:..: ...::13 ?~~~~pl#r.~or~.:lh:~:;p~avt~:on.... Staff has identified the two primary problems with the current regulation. 1) It does not provide property owners with the ability to legally remove seedlings, diseased or infested trees, or any other type of live vegetation without DRB approval. 2) It does not adequately protect mature trees or sensitive natural areas such as the Gore Creek corridor. Current enforcement language only addresses tree removal during building construction and does not provide any clear remedies for improper tree removal. It also does not provide any mention of tree care education. Numerous trees are also lost because of construction activity either by heavy equipment directly damaging trees, compacting the soil, or encroachment around a tree that prevents percolation of water. The Town does have adequate regulations for protecting trees from construction impacts but they could be improved by creating minimum "setbacks" for trees. Town Building officials do currently check before issuing a certificate of occupancy that the landscape plan has been adhered to and could ensure that tree setbacks are enforced. III. APPROACH Staff feels that it is necessary to review the current regulation on vegetation removal because of its inadequacies, public interest in preserving trees, and the need to maintain Veil's natural character. Staff has developed three broad policy alternatives and has evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of each alternative. Although, this should not be considered an exhaustive list of advantages and disadvantages. The purpose of this approach is to layout a framework for decision-making and help gain consensus on a general concept for protecting community forest resources. The three alternatives that were evaluated include: A. Keep the current language in chapter 18.54 and try to educate the public on the value of preserving mature trees. B. Modify chapter 18.54.030 so that only trees on Town property are regulated by the Town. C. Modify chapter 18.54 to include minimum setback requirements for trees and create a supplemental regulation that would provide an arbor program for education, protect and care for mature trees, provide guidelines for property owners to care for trees without town approval, create a tree planting fund, and designate a Town Tree Care Manager. 2 IV EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES Alternative A: This alternative would maintain the current language in chapter 18.54 and would create an educational program to encourage property owners to properly care for mature trees. ? This alternative would require minimal staff time initially to implement compared to alternative C and could increase awareness of Town policy and encourage residents to protect mature trees. - Staff would still have to spend considerable time with property owners that cut mature trees to encourage them to replant. If people refuse to replant, then staff can have a citation issued which requires additional time and does not help mitigate the loss of a mature tree since staff can not require property owners to replant an equivalent number of trees. - Trees would continue to be lost from indirect impacts from construction. - Residents would still have to apply for DRB approval to remove vegetation, whether the tree is a seedling, diseased, or infested. Alternative B: This alternative would modify Chapter 18.54.030 so that only vegetation on public property would be regulated. Private property owners could remove even mature trees under this alternative without Town approval. ? Most communities do not regulate vegetation removal on private property. ? This would have the least impact on Town staff. However, this alternative may force the Town to invest in significant tree planting programs. - Would expect additional loss of mature trees, increased aesthetic impact, increased erosion, and sedimentation loading to Gore Creek. - Natural quality of Vail would be degraded and the impression of a built up "concrete" community may become more prevalent. Alternative C: Revise chapter 18.54 to identify specific setback requirements for trees to protect them from construction. To address non-construction related actions, alternative C would create a new supplementary tree regulation to: improve enforcement; create clear guidelines for tree removal and care without town approval; and identify a tree care manager to issue permits for tree removal and develop educational programs for tree care. ? Alternative C would give property owners greater freedom to remove seedlings , diseased, or infested trees without Town approval by providing clear guidelines for tree care. 3 ~ -1- Would improve service to residents by identifying a Tree Care manager to issue tree care/removal permits instead of applying to DRB for approval. Citizens could quickly receive an answer on tree removal from a tree care manager or arborist. Disagreements with the Tree Care Manager could be appealed to the Design and Review Board. Major alterations to the landscape would still require Design and Review Board approval. The Tree Care Manager would also be responsible for developing education and tree planting programs. (Todd Oppenheimer has agreed to take on this responsibility and Larry Grafel concurs.) ~f- Would improve protection of trees along Gore Creek that is essential for maintaining water quality, reducing erosion, and for minimizing flood damage. ? Would Improve monitoring and control of chemical tree applications for controlling pests or disease. -F Enforcement of improper tree removal would be enhanced and made clear to the public. Staff recommends that property owners that improperly cut trees be required to plant an equivalent size and number of trees or be required to pay a fee equivalent to the value of the lost trees that would go into a tree planting fund. ~f- Improve education on tree planting, removal, and general care. -I- The Town would be entitled to apply for a Tree City USA designation. This would include receiving a flag, an entrance sign, and other benefits. + This alternative would clarify and streamline the system for residents and provide greater flexibility for property owners. - Will add responsibilities to Public Works. However, Todd Oppenheimer agrees that these responsibilities are consistent with his job description. - This alternative may give the perception that government is imposing more restrictions and regulations on private property owners. V. SUMMARY Before spending considerable time to prepare a draft regulation, staff wanted to identify the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives to improve protection of mature trees and give property owners greater freedom to care for their trees. Alternatives A and B would not significantly improve protection of mature trees or address the concerns raised by the staff. Alternative B would be a major policy shift and allow property owners to remove even mature trees without Town approval. Alternative C would provide greater freedom for property owners to care for trees but provide greater protection for mature trees by improving education and enforcement. 4 ~ ~ ~ ~ TOWN OF VAIL/TELECOMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT CORP.

I did go to Nepal on vaction in the spring for a period of almost 6 weeks. This is the longest vacation I have taken since I returned from Vietnam 20+ years ago. I also had 4 weeks of Army reserve duty at the Pentagon, which is twice the usual amount of 2 weeks. I do not expect either of these to reoccur in the forseeable future. The reserve tour was a fluke and, especially with the cutbacks, I will be lucky to get 2 weeks. When I was here, I was consistently on time for meetings and site visits, sometimes being the only to do so. I also attended several extra meetings at which not all of my fellow commissioners were present. All in all, I feel that I have done a credible job on the commission and the attendance problems will not happen again. Thanks for the opportunity to explain.

While I fully support this effort in principle, I do not want to participate by giving money to this cause on a principle that I feel even stronger about. Over the last few years, the Sonnenalp has been "taken to the cleaners" consistently. If you add up all the cost that we had to incur over and above what should be reasonably expected to comply with very strict guidelines and procedures (which I fully support), the art in public places project plus many more should be more than adequately funded. I continue to be concerned and involved in many things that make this town better and strive for a place unequalled by any resort in the world. One important factor along the way is to have efficient, responsive, and competent government. We do not! The time will come when this is hopefully changed. At which time, you will find the Sonnenalp at the very forefront of supporting efforts such as the one at hand.

A review of the survey indicates the following unsatisfactory conditions: 1. There are two (2) encroachments on the southwestern boundary of the property. One appears to be an asphalt parking lot which encroaches apr~...~:mately 17.7' into the Vail Commons property. The other is a mini-bank, and I am unable to compute from the survey how much the mini-bank encroaches onto the property. 2. In addition to the encroachments, there is a water pipeline easement 15' in width which bisects the property approximately 1/3 of the way from the northeasterly boundary of the property. It is my understanding that there is an actual water pipeline in the easement at this time. 3. The acreage certified on the survey is 6.576 rather than 6.599 acres. I am writing this letter pursuant to paragraph 3 of the Addendum to the Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate entered into between the Town of Vail and Vail Commons, Ltd. I hope that a satisfactory solution to these problems can be worked out between the parties. Mr. Joseph Picciuca, CPA March 5, 1993 Page 2 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

Friedman P.O. Box 1110 Vail, CO 81658 Dear Ken: As you're aware, the Vail Town Council and Town of Vail staff have embarked on many new avenues recently in their continued goal of excellence. We are working hard to create a longterm vision for this community and our organization, and to provide top notch services which are responsive to needs and desires of residents and guests. As the Town of Vail is the community's organization, a major part of our improvement depends on continuous dialogue with residents, guests, and second home owners. We have instituted numerous avenues for public input over the past few years, including Speak Up meetings, community surveys, and Resident Input Cards. However, we will be taking the input process to a higher level in the next few months. The Town will be embarking on a comprehensive citizen survey process which will include written questionnaires sent to 8,000 residents, as well as focus groups and phone surveys conducted with individuals from all community sectors. The findings from this multi-faceted process will be used by the Town Council and all departments to guide decision making, budgetary priorities, and staff time emphasis. We plan to continue the focus groups, as well as the Speak Up meetings and Resident Input Cards, on a year around basis in an effort to stay up-to-date on your thoughts and concerns. Please loin us for one of two upcoming focus Groups, scheduled for Tuesday, March 16 at 7:00 P.M. and Wednesday. March 17 at 7:30 A.M. in the Community Development Department's conference room. Ten to twelve individuals from the community will take part in each session and participants will be encouraged to candidly share their thoughts about local issues. Nolan Rosell of Rosell, Remmen and Cares, an individual who has done a great deal of survey work with our community in the past, will lead the sessions. Town Council members will not be present in order to facilitate your openness about matters of concern; however, transcripts from the sessions, participant names excluded, will be shared with the Town Council and department heads following the sessions. Again, the success of our community deoends on the involvement of individuals from all local sectors. Please call Desiree Kochera at 479-2118 by 5:00 P.M., Friday, March 12, 1993, to let us know which focus arouq fits with your schedule. We thank you in advance for taking the time to be a cart of this important input process.

I have a fairly diverse background having provided assistance to c....,..,,anities in planning, economic development and at times engineering since 1971.

All but eight years of my experience has been working for communities in western Colorado. I was City Engineer for Cape May, N.J., Long Range Planner for Tempe AZ., and Planning Director for Gilbert, AZ. Attached is a representative list of the types of projects I have completed. I am enthusiastic about working with you and look forward to meeting you. Meanwhile, I will be picking up the 1993 projects where Barbara Keller Richard left off.
