- FACTS/REVELATIONS
CONCERNING
~l~n~ VAII. RECREATION DISTRICT'S PROPOSED PAR 3 GOLF COURSE
TO: VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
FR: EVIE NOTT
DA: JUNE 1, 1993
ARE YOU AWARE:
1. That the proposed course is actually a "pitch and putt" type course, not an executive
or regular Par 3 golf course? (Please see comment #1.)
2. That both the National Golf Foundation (N.G.F.) and the American Society of Golf
Course Architects' staff members, when contacted by me recently, stated that 13.8
acres is not sufficient to build a Par 3 golf course, much less adjunct facilities such as
a clubhouse, parking area(s), access road(s), etc.? (Please see Golf Course Design and
Construction Guidelines." I spoke with Jacquelin Freitas.) Available/usable acreage
is actually less as the VRD promised to not disturb existing Aspen stands and to
construct extensive b~~u.ing on the eastern boundaries of the r~,.~ect.
3. That the N.G.F., to their knowledge, has never been contacted by the VRD for Par 3
guidelines even after receiving Mr. Phelps' letter of 4!1/92, stating that corridor
widths, side by side golf hole widths, and other dimensions "are considerably less than
that recommended by the American Society of Golf Course Architects and the National
Golf Foundation?" The VRD Board member that I recently contacted (Gail Malloy)
was not aware there were N.G.F. Par 3 guidelines and asked me to send them to her,
as she had never seen them!
4. That the Army Corps of Engineers' response letter dated 3/16/93, after the conclusion
of the Public Notice comment period and signed by Grady McNure, Chief, Western
Colorado Regulatory Office, states that, "A majority of the comments from private
citizens were opposed to the devel.,ru.ent of your l,...;;ect at the proposed location?"
5. That a VRD letter sent 7/14/92, states, "The District has stated throughout the
planning process that it will proceed with the project if the majority of the community
supports it and conversely will abandon the course if that is the citizens' desire?"
(Please see enclosed document.)
_ 6. That the above mentioned Army Corps' letter states, "The only comments which we
received in support of your project were from residents of Bald Mountain Road," and,
"If the only public supporters for the project would withdraw their support for the
project with a western access point, you would need to decide if you will build the
course without any public support?"
7. That the VRD stated in a letter dated 2/12/93 to the Army Corps that they could not
gain access across private land to the western end of the parcel. The above mentioned
Army Corp letter states this is not true?
8. That the Army Corp letter dated 3/16/93, states, "We have a letter to you from a noted
golf course architect strongly recommending that you do not build the course on this
site because of the safety concerns of errant golf balls striking motorists on I-?0
traveling at high rates of speed?"
9. That the above mentioned letter states, "The T„~u of Vail's own land use plan states
that this site would not accommodate a Par 3 nine hole golf course because of
insufficient acreage. We are concerned that construction of this course may not be in
the public interest?" (Please see comment #2.)
10. That on March 14, 1993, the VRD issued a press release titled "Vail Recreation
District Indefinitely Tables Booth Falls Par 3 Golf Course Project" stating that, "A
letter from the Army Corps of Engineers was recently received outlining the options
on the Par 3 project, none of which are currently acceptable to the VRD Board of
Directors, therefore, the project is tabled indefinitely?" (Please see enclosed
document. )
11. That the Corps' letter states, "If the residents (of Bald Mountain Road) wish to enjoy
the economic benefits of the course then they will have to cope with the increased
traffic?" Is the VRD building this course for the economic benefit of its only
supporters, the residents of the Bald Mountain Road residential area? It would
appear that the main group of supporters of this r~~,;ect are those residents who think
they will benefit financially from this project by increased real estate values. This has
been acknowledged by one VRD Board member and a member of the VRD staff. Is
this in the general public's interest?
A Vail real estate firm mailed to all property owners in the Booth creek filings a copy
of a Vail Daily, article concerning the VRD board's decision to table indefinitely the
Par 3 golf course project along with the real estate agent's business card. She referred
all inquiries to VRD board members encouraging them to urge the board to reconsider
- their decision. It would appear that the primary supporters of this project are local
Booth Creek real estate oriented ~wuers, not the community as a whole. No
community-wide support for this project has been evident or demonstrated.
12. That the architect, Mr. Phelps, who resigned from ronsideration as a design finalist
for this project because the site is not large enough to design, construct, and operate
a safe golf facility" has designed over sixty (60) existing golf courses, including
Cordillera, and is one of Colorado's two members of the A.S.G.C.A-? It also should be
noted that Mr. Phelps has never had any litigation against him concerning golf course
design contrary to statements made by other individuals and that he is very familiar
with the site personally. He is also a member of the National Golf Foundation. Mr.
Phelps' considerable experience in golf course design speaks for itself. He also has
been the recipient of various awards for the courses he has designed. The architect
for the proposed Par 3 does not belong to either organization at present. He is the
primary designer of an unknown number of existing 18-hole courses at this writing.
The ram„ Yosed project's architect has been involved as an owner/developer with several
prominent 18-hole golf courses, including the Desert and Forest Highlands courses in
Arizona.
13. That the eastern most end of this parcel is almost entirely flooded with run-off water?
(Please see photographs.) How does the VRD intend to deal with this situation and
with the culvert outlet flooding this area? It would appear that the culvert's outlet
point would have to be relocated or redirected, a very expensive undertaking. If
modifications are necessary, it may have a negative impact on the hydrology of the
existing wetlands.
Regardless of your position on this matter, I respectfully suggest that you direct either the
VRD or Town of Vail staff to obtain pertinent, objective information including standards and
guidelines on design and construction of Par 3 golf course as they pertain to this particular
piece of land with its various constraints before signing any lease. I also would like to
suggest that a consultant be hired ~i..,~. either the American Society of Architects or the
National Golf Foundation to comment on all the safety issues involved. It is very important
to note that if the VRD designs a course eliminating any wetlands impact, therefore not
requiring an Army Corps' permit, the safety concerns expressed in the Corps' correspondence,
as well as other letters, will not be addressed except by you. Mr. McNure stated 6/1/93 that,
"Safety issues were issues that were not ever resolved to our satisfaction." They obviously
are still significant and valid and critical." Another appropriate option would be to withdraw
this parcel of land from lease consideration as its acreage is insufficient for a quality Par 3
golf course as stated in TOV's Land Use Plan and other documents previously mentioned.
J ~
- COMMENT #1:
In a recent telephone conversation with VR,D Board member Gail Malloy, I read her the
acreage figures of the N.G.F. and A.S.G.C.A. guidelines and her response was as stated.
Unfortunately, this is not the type of Par 3 course that has been represented to local
residents, public, and Council.
COMMENT #2:
Major contributors to TOV's Land Use Plan, adopted 11/18/86, include a Task Force, the
Town Council, the Planning and Environmental Commission, consultants including urban
planners, and Town staff. (Please see enclosed document.)

lir. Rob Robinson
Vail Recreation District
292 West Meadow Drive
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear tlr. Robinson:
I am writing to you in regard to the Vail Recreation
Districts proposed Par 3 Golf Course. We have concluded the
public co~aent period for the public notice that we issued on
this project. a majority of the comments from private citizens
were opposed to the development of your project at the proposed
location.
By letter dated February 17, 1993, you responded to the
comments on this project by the U.S. Environmental Protection
14gency and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Section
404(b)(i) Guidelines (40 CFR Part 230.10) state that, for
discharges into special aquatic sites (wetlands) that are not
water dependent, there is a rebuttable presumption that less
damaging practicable alternatives exist that do not involve a
discharge into special aquatic sites. We do not believe that any
of the information submitted thus far, including your February 17
letter, has rebutted this presumption.
You have not provided information that demonstrates that
other available properties do not exist that would support this
development within a short drive of Vail. We have identified two
practicable alternatives on-site that would be less damaging to
the aquatic environment. One alternative would be to locate the -
clubhouse and support facilities on the western end of the
parcel. According to your February 17, 1993 letter, you can not
gain access across private land to the western end of the parcel.
Our review of property boundary maps reveal that the parcel
boundaries abut Bald Mountain road in the western end of the
parcel, and that access across private land would not be
necessary. You further stated that the neighboring community
objected to access on the western end of the parcel because of
increased traffic on Bald Mountain Road. The only comments which
we received in support of your project were from residents of
5
a ¦
Bald Mountain Road. It these residents wish to enjoy the
economic benefits of the course then they say have to cope with
the increased traffic. Your project calls for only 24 parking
spaces which does not seem to create a s~ajor traffic problem on
the road.
If the only public supporters for the project would
withdraw their support for the project with a western access
point, you would need to decide if you will build the course
without any public support. We do not believe that conflicts
with your project supporters negates the practicability of using
the western end of the parcel for access and clubhouse
construction.
Another alternative which would not create a conflict with
your supporters is to avoid wetlands in construction of
facilities in the eastern end of the parcel. The clubhouse and
the parking can be located in the eastern of the parcel without
impacting wetlands. There is sufficient space between the two
wetlands and near the berm for Interstate 70 to construct these
facilities.
In our review of your permit application, we must also
complete a public interest review (33 CFR 320.4). One factor
in this public interest review is safety. Several of the
comments discussed the safety issue involved in building this
course on a narrow strip of land between the development and
Interstate 70 (I-70). We have a letter to you from a noted golf
course architect strongly recommending that you do not build the
_ course on this site because of the safety concerns of errant golf
balls striking motorists on I-70 traveling at high rates of
speed. The Town of Veil's own land use plan states that this
site would not accommodate a Par 3 nine hole golf course because
of insufficient acreage. We are concerned that construction of
this course may not be in the public interest, particularly in
the interest of motorists in the west bound lane of I-70. We
believe that you should provide better documentation supporting
your position that the safety of motorists on I-70 will not be
compromised. Statements from the State Department of Transpor-
tation and other agencies or organizations concerned with public
safety and golf course design would be useful.

~P
' If you can not provide information that the alternatives
_ listed above are not practicable, including off site
. alternatives, or answer our concerns on public safety,--are will
not be able to issue a permit for this project as proposed. You
should provide this information within 15 days of the date of
this letter or notify this off ice that you will be revising your
project to avoid wetlands completely.
If you decide not to respond to this request, please notify
this office as soon as possible so that we can continue to
process your application. If you have any additional questions,
please contact Mr. Michael Claffey of this office at (303) 243-
1199.

Having . ~ ;t aver 3 years soliciting public opinion towards the Par 3 pco}ed, resear+chiag

to table lad rnitely the t3ooth Falls Para golf course pt+aject
The project was introduced in August of 19139 ss sn a{tanative oarru for beginner and
• junior gdfers, seniors, and hotel aueats with time constraints; as wdl as W eliminate the
ove.w~., ~?ding at the 113-hde c6arnptonship Vail Golf Club.
In 11. ~ ~ ,her of that trnme year the first of over 20 public meetings were held to gather .
public input on the pro cct. Public support for the course eontrnued to ba overwhelming with over
SS uncolicrted letters o~ a r r . t for the projecx tiecxived by the Recreation District.
This confirmation of the public's desire for a local alternative to the Vail Coif Qub
prott?pted siz months of research towards financial feasibility of the plan at which tune it was
determined that the course could support itself and help to fund other VRD r.,.a.~.rris.
In ,taausry of 1992, the Vsil Town Coancil dir+xted Town manager Roo Phillips to sign an
a~ ~~mwt guaranteeing that the Town would subsegnenUyy lease the Booth Falls land tract to the
Vail R4..y....tion District. Despite nnmeroas attempts by YRD Board asembers. the lease was never
signed.
'Brat same month, Course Architect Dick Bailey presented a safety check and routing plan
to the Vail R.;....,~.tion District Bosrd of Diroc~tors and insured that a 94hde ~rtr 3 golf oarr'st could
be safely constrticted within the lava parcxil. At this point, the Recreation Dtstncx Board oaf
Directors decided to age..,..ively pursue the p%loct by hiring architects for the sestet house and
pursuing course plans.
As final plans were drawn for the course in tare Summer of 1992, and specifics were ironed
out with PF.C on August 10, one of the final steps was to work with the Army Corps of Fn ''seers
to acquire an individual permit. With the lease still unsigned, a few Vail citizens with 12th boor

the Recreation ~istrict had nxtivod prior encouragement from the Vail Town t,,atiaal to p. V ,,,,..d

NA770NAL GOLFfOUNQ4T/ON
Par 3, Executive and I1~odified Golf Courses
These are the most.commonly asked questions about shorter-length gaff courses:
Q. What is the difference between par-3, executive, and Cayman courses?
A Par-3 golf courses have only par three holes. If the bolts are approximately 100 yards
or less, it is ohcn railed a pitch and putt course. An executive course has a mix of par
three and par four holes. 'Challenge" course might be a better name since these
counts appeal to and aze played by many more .people than just executives. A
modified course, originally labeled a Cayman course, u played with a ball which cannot
- be hit as far as a regulation golf ball. Cayman courses are st~l found in Japan.
A true par-3 course would have a ppar of 27 for 9 bolts, and a par of 54 for 18. Aa executive
course would have a par of 29 to 33 for 9 bolts and from 58 to 66 for 18. Surveys of more
than 1,000 shorter ~~~...,es indicate a wide variation in yardages and range all the way from
S00 to 2,000 yards fora 9 hole course and from 1,000 to 4,500 yazds for an 18 hole coupe.
Q. How mach land is needed for each of these three types of courses?
A Shorter coupes vary greatly in size. Par-3 courses may ut~ize 20 to 50 acres #'or 18 -
Doles; depending on the length of the holes; exeaitive courses from ~S to 95 acres; and
a modified I8-hole course needs from 35 to 55 acres.
Q. What arc typical construction costs for shorter golf courses?
A. Typical or average construction costs for any type of golf course are practically mean-
ingless. This is because individual courses vary so much in .~.~ard to the nature of the
site, Ien~ of the holes, size of the features on the hobs, methods of construction, and
their ushness~:" Taday.par-3 courses might average Sa0,000 r bolt, modified
courses 555,000, occcutrvc courses 580,OOa and comKntional golf courses over
5200,000 per Doleeach -for actual construction only.
Q. When and where are shorter golf ~.,~...~es logical?
A Shorter courses can fit where not enough land or money is available to bind a co~en-
tional length course. They make sense where the targeted markci is not just traditional
golfers or, far whatever reason, the annual and/or urinal cost should be limited. Tbcy
can also be good second or third courses at public and resort golf fac~litics, and are
ideal for golf schools. In Europe many new dubs 5rst bu~1d what they call compact
courses. These arc for beginning golfers aad for members to start playing before the
main rnune is opened.
Q. Arc shorter golf courses well received by traditional golfers?
A Many avid golfers do not accept aaything other than what they coasidcr to be a
"regulation" golf eontsc and some even only want a'cbampionship" course. (National

Golf Foundation records o~cr the past couple decades stem to support this.??ure has
only been modest growth in this type of facility. As of 1989 there were 779 executive
courses and ?2S par-3's). .
Q. Who plays on these types of coursu~? "
' A. These courses can appeal to a wide range of players They offer most of the advantages
of golf to people who mainly want a break or exape from the often tedious routine of
lift, mild exerase, being outdoors in the fresh air, the situation for en~oyablc
camaraderie, a personal or competitive challenge, and fun. Thee groups can include
young people, middle-aged people, seniors, beginning or occasional golfers, men and
women, the athletic or not so athle:tirally skilled, and the disabled as well as pro5aent
and experienced golfers.
- Q. Arc shorter golf courses becoming more popular
why don't you sec more of them?
A The shorter courses don't recxivt: the exposure on TV or in sports pages or golf
magazines given to tour and major championship sites Also, housing developers and
resorts seldom advertise and promote sborter courses. The American Modified Golf
Association continues to get ingw»es from all over this country and a number of other
countries about budding a modified course. There is morn new modified course activity
in Japan than anywhere else, apparently because of their lack of sites large enough to
accommodate traditional courses, high land costs, yet a strong interest in the game and
a robust national economy.
Q. Can you establish a certified handicap with scores from a sborter golf course?
A Any course 3,040 yards or more can offer a United States Golf Association competitive•
handicap using the USGA's Slope Rating System. Courses sborter than that ran use
the system, but the handicap is only good at that local course.
• Q. What are the benefits of shorter courses from the standpoint of a developer and a
player?
A The benefits for the developer and operator of a shorter course, compared to a
conventional-length course are: (Y they take less land (reducingg both initial total land
cost and future real estate taxes); 12) they arc less expensive to bind and (3) their an-
• nual maintenance budget will be lower. For playerx (A) Shorter courses put less em- •
phasic on the abiZi'ry to hit a long ball; (B) they can be played in a shorter time; (C)
they are easier to walk, if walking is desired. Marry developers/operators and golfers
appreciate the Iowcr fern made possible by lower tours: costs.
Q. If a developer bas enough Land to bind a regulation length course are there any
reasons that individual should think about budding an execttive course instead?
A If you want to develop land around the course for housing or other uses, an exeaitive
course would take less land. As implied about, if you planned to appeal to a market
based on as low golfing fees as tactical, an executive course would allow you to do this
better that with a corncntiona] length course. .
Q. What are the high range/low range dollar figures for binding these types of courses?
' A "Cost ranges' per se, may be of as little value as "average' eo5ts. par-3 course might
range from 515,000 per hole, for simple eonstniction in a pasture, to more than 560,000
per bole for an elaborate course in rugggged tenain_ Construction costs for excaitive
course holes can range from 550„000 to S100,000. Modified courses, because the bolts

' ~ ~ arc shorter and narro~vcr, can cost any~vhcre from 540,000 to 575,000. The lo~v for a
" conventional length course per hole today cot:id be 575,000, to a high of 5200,000 or
more. Many of the picturesque new courses recently built in the desert, mountains, or
' . next to water cost much more to construct than this high figure.
Q. Is it a good idea to offer golf cars at a short course?
A. For people with a disability or other medical problems, which limits their walking, all
courses should offer golf cars. On any type of golf course today, a number of golfers
will choose to ride and this can be a source of revenue to the course's operator. Golf
prs do some damage to the turf on a golf course, unless the cars arc kept on a path
and this slows down play.
Q. What is the status quo of modified or Cayman golf? How come you don't see more of
it?
A. Modified golf is continuing to be played and, az noted earlier, is beingg pushed in Japan.
Developing any type of golf course cosu a great deal. This involves 5nandal risk, par-
ticularly for abrand-new form of golf. Golfers in general are conservative, so many arc
reluctant to change except when they see star golfers making changes. Remember, that
a "different golf' n to a sense competing with a game that has had more than S00 years
to become established. So it may take modified golf at least a fraction of that time to
gain some popularity. The bulk of future players who use modified courses mad be
people who have riot played much golf. Rather than starting with a course for modified
golf only, it may be a safer hedge for a developer to build one that can be played as
either an executive golf course (vv~th a regulation golf ball) or a modified course (with
a modified ball). The very first modified course, on Grand Cayman Island, was
designed in this manner.
Q. Can you give me a brief history of bow shorter courses got started?
A. There is no record as to when and where the first shorter course was bunt in the
United States, but many date back to the 1920's with the advent of the first golf course
development boom.
The shortci coupe got its big boost in pularity right after World War II when golf itself
began attracting hundreds of thousands of new converts. Shorter working hours and in-
creasedincome prompted mariy~cople to try golf which offered healthful, mild outdoor ac-
tivity, the challenge of competition and satisfying social relationships in the stimulating at-
mosphere of the golf course. The nation's exlsvng golf courses -which had been too' few
to meet even the prewar demand for golf facilities -soon became cowded and new '
courses started to spring up all over the country.
Augusta National's well-publicized par-3 and the Palm Beach Par-3 were the first par-3
courses to receive much recognition. The late Ncw Englander turned Floridian, golf course
architect Bill Mitchell, furnished the name for the executive course. And Eagle Landing
Golf Club near Charleston, SC was the first 18-hole course designed exclusively for playing
modified golf. Cornish and Whitten's Tlie Golf Cotyse book offers some more background
on the subject of shorter golf courses.

• CITIZENS OF THE COMMUNITY
Tract 11 -bus Barn, Public Works
The Town of Vail bus barn and public works shops are located on a 11.3 acre
site north of I-70 in the vicinity of the golf course. There is no change
anticipated in this area and there appears to be sufficient room for expan-
sion of the facility. This site is a~potential candidate for the location
of a limited use. special event oriented heliport.
- Tract 12 - Ptarmigan Road Avalanche Chute
A 1.5 acre area has been designated as a safety area to accommodate poten-
tial avalanches. The site would remain as open space in the community.
Tract 13 - Fai n,?a,y Drive Avalanche Chutes
A 2.16 acre site to accommodate avalanche hazards has been dedicated to the
town along Fairway Drive in the Yail Village 10th Filing. This site pro-
vides a safety area and would remain as open space for the community.
Tract 14 - Ford Park
The Ford Park is the focus of outdoor summer recreation activities in the
community. It contains athletic fields for softball, soccer and lacrosse,
tennis courts, a picnic pavilion, barbeque grills, bike paths and a nature
center. A Master Plan was recently adopted for the park and an amphi-
theatre is currently under construction. During the past winter seasons,
the athletic fields of the upper bench of the park has served as a day use
parking area for skiers. The use of special WWII vintage landing mats have
been used to protect the turf from damage. There is no change, other than
on-going facility development for the park. Specifically, a community
indoor swimming pool has been proposed for the east end of the site.
Tract 15 - Golden Peak Athletic Field
This five acre athletic field accommodates soccer, rugby and lacrosse
activities during the summer. This athletic field is anticipated to con-
tinue to serve as a site for active recreation functions in the community.
Tract 16 - Vorlaufer Park, aka Roger Staub Park
- The small .5 acre open area is located off of Gore Creek Orive in Vail
Yillage serve as a passive pocket-park ad3acent to Gore Creek. This
passive area is landscaped and contains boulders for resting and provides a
_ pleasant relief from the dense built-up nature of the Yillage. It is
viewed as a positive attribute likely to continue to function as such.
Tract 17 - Mill Creek Stream Tract
This area extends from Hanson Ranch Road to Gore Creek Drive in back of the .
Red Lion Building. The tract serves as a drainageway and should De pre-
- served in its open state. Development along Bridge Street has turned their
back to the stream and rehabilitation and/or renovation in the area should
be encouraged to take advantage of this pleasant open area.

Tract 7 -East of Booth Falls Road
7his area consists of three separate tracts of land which were dedicated to
the Town of Yail for open space as part of subdividing. Of the separate
tracts of land that have been dedicated, Tract C has little in .the way of
development constraints. Its location at the intersection of Katsos Ranch
Road and the east Frontage Rond has good proximity to roads and utilities.
There are other public and private recreation facilities in Booth Creek and
the site offers no apparent .unique visual or environmental benefits. This
is a possible site for disposit:ion by the town. However, it should be
noted that there has been no confirmation of covenants or deed restrictions
associated with the property. No alternate use has been identified -for
this site at this time.
Tract 8 - West of Booth Falls Road
This area is similar in formation to Tract 7 in that individual parcels of
land were dedicated to the Town of Yail as part of park and open space
requirements. Two of the parcels are within high environmental hazard
areas and are likely to remain as open space areas. The third parcel of
land in the subdivision has frontage along I-70 and back ups to the resi-
dential area along Bald Mountain Road. This parcel is attractive .for
development because of its visibility, access to the frontage road, rela-
tive large size (14 acres)~and only a portion of the property is within a
moderate environmental hazard area. There is, however, some questions as .
to the conversant restrictions on the property which may limit the.use to
open space. This tract has Deers discussed in the past as a possible loca-
tion for an executive par 3 goliF course, however it is not large enough to
accommodate such a use. A well planned 18-hole par 3 course requires 50 to
60 acres. A 9-hole par 3 course could possibly be accomplished on as lit-
tle as 20 acres, however this site is only 14 acres and therefore would not
l - accommodate "executive" type course very adequately.* While it is a possi-
ble candidate for some type of development, there are no current public
faeility needs which could be accommodated at this site.
1 Tract 9 - East of Sunburst Drive
7his site contains dust over 28 acres and is~located south of the Yail Golf
Course. The site is entirely within a high hazard area and is viewed as
designated open space for the community. Just to the south of Sunburst
Drive are several small parcels which are avalanche chutes, scheduled to
i remain as open space.
L Tract 10 - Vail Golf Course
The Yail Golf Course comprises dust over 94 acres of land along Gore Creek
- in the east-central part of the community. A portion of the course winds
through a residential area along Yail Valley Drive. No change is antici-
1 paled in the function and extent of the area.

Dear Mr. Claffey:
The Vail Recreation District Board of Directors discussed the
proposed Par 3 golf course at their board meeting last Wednesday,
April 14, 1993. They would like to know the possibility of
continuing with the wetlands permit process by eliminating the
clubhouse entirely from the plans. It is my understanding that by
eliminating the clubhouse, the designated wetlands will be avoided.
The Board is cognizant of the fact that other issues such as the
safety of the course must still be addressed, but they are
reluctant to spend anymore tax dollars on the safety issue until
they are confident that the project is doable without a clubhouse
facility.
If you will give me a call so we can discuss this latest proposal
in more detail, I will be most appreciative.
'nc ely,

Dear Editor,
Please heed this call! The time has come to just say'no to the proposed Booth Creek
Par 3 golfcourse. The issue has once again resurfaced despite environmental jeopardy.
Let us take this opportunity to turn over a new leaf in the Vail Valley by protecting
some of it's open space. In the past there has been little discretion given to the
viability of our developments. Those who wish to cherish the natural landscape are not
short-sighted. Future generations will be deprived if they are denied the right to enjoy
the wonders a wetland,~i~:~,.,.~ has to offer their senses.
The wetland which dwells where the proposed golfcourse would be is teeming with life
these days. This season the swollen runoff has envited Mallards, Seagulls, Warblers
and Western Tanager~'use the resources provided by this site. Some people have said
this spot has nothing to offer in its present state. They ought to look closer.
Why not nourish this piece of land and turn it into something everyone, not only
golfers, can enjoy? If we are compelled to do something here let's plant some native
species, pack down a small footpath and perhaps add a few interpretive displays to
convey some of Vail's unique natural wonders. This would be a wonderful way to
show our appreciation for this beautiful valley we call our home. Protecting the few
remaining open spaces surrounding us is the best thing we can do for future generations
of all lives regardless of their recreational, financial or even evolutionary background.
A par 3 golfcourse is neither an environmentally sound nor imaginative plan for the
Booth Creek meadow.
Thoughtfully,
Residents of the Vail Valley

Vail Police Department
Hotel Interdiction Program
Over the course of the last few years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of
thefts associated with hotel properties and employees . We often see the same employee listed as
a suspect in several cases. Many times this person has been employed by several properties in
Town. Without a confession from the guilty party or dramatic and unequivocal evidence, these
cases are extremely difficult to solve. There appears to be a trend among those associated with
this type of criminal activity to "job hop" either due to being fired or because they feel it is time to
move on before being caught. This activity lends itself to other properties hiring a person who
engages in this activity and thereby endangering their guests as well as their business.
Program Goals: Increase cooperation between hotel management and the Vail Police
Department in the areas of crime prevention and investigation of incidents.
Reduce the number of hotel room thefts and other crimes occurring on
hotel properties in Vail.
Increase the solvability factor for hotel room thefts overall.
Provide hotel management with an additional resource to use in
pre-employment screening.
Overview of the program:
The Hotel Interdiction Program's ultimate goal is to reduce hotel related crime in Vail.
Specifically targeted crimes would include room thefts, property (hotel) related crimes such as
internal thefts, vandalism, and car break-ins. In light of the nature of most of these crimes (rooms
thefts in particular), suspects normally include housekeeping, maintenance and other hotel
employees. A small percentage of these people are involved in criminal activity and often on
more than one property. Hotels have an obligation to their guests to screen prospective
employees as thoroughly as possible before hiring to prevent the hiring of a potential criminal.
This program will provide a valuable resource in their efforts to hire the best people for the job.
Pre -hiring phase:
An applicant will sign a waiver of release for local criminal record information at the time
of application. This will be forwarded to the Vail Police Department. We would perform a local
record check and inform the hotel (in writing) of any Vail Police Department arrests.
This process will create a potential psychological deterrent to those who are involved in
this type of criminal activity. Formal information sharing will alert properties to potential
problems and allow them to address those problems in a positive and preventative manner.
Post - hiring phase:
If the employee is hired by the participating hotel, he or she may then be sent to the Vail
Police Department for the second stage of the program. We will verify identification, run a
warrant check and produce an identification card with the employee's photograph and a
fingerprint. The card will identify the hotel for whom (s)he will work. This card then becomes
the property of the hotel. It will be worn or carried in accordance with policy established by the
participating property. It must be returned to the property upon termination of employment for
any reason.
In order to process the large number of employees, we will provide participating
properties with a schedule of available dates and times employees may obtain their identification
cards. The cost of the ID card production will be covered by the police department.
All information obtained by the police will be kept confidential. Only if this information is
used in an investigation will it become part of the normal police records system. This will be
explained to the employees when they sign a records release. By law, we can not provide
hotels or other non law enforcement entities with normal investigative information,
intelligence or other criminal justice information.
The identification card portion of the program is voluntary on the part of the property but
is strongly recommended as it is a valuable psychological deterrent to criminal activity and
as such is strongly recommended. Properties not participating in this part of the program
will provide us with a list of employees hired.
Information Sharing Network Component:
The Vail Police Department will provide properties with seminars and other resources as
available to develop employee pre-hiring screening programs and information exchange networks.
Colorado law provides properties with the freedom to exchange truthful, accurate and
nondiscriminatory information about previous employees. While the Vail Police Department
cannot provide legal advice, we strongly encourage properties to work with their respective legal
staffs to develop a strong information network among participating establishments. Without this
information, one cannot hope to come close to the goal of hiring the right person for the job.
The Hotel Interdiction Program has been developed as a joint cooperative effort involving
personnel from the Vail Police Department and representatives from local hotel properties. This
helps assure that we meet our goal, namely to provide the hotel and lodging industry with a
valuable service to use in the reduction and prevention of crime.

Operating Guidelines
Application /Criminal Records Check
The participating property /business will have a prospective employee sign a waiver and
release of criminal records form. The form will contain the following information:
1. Full, legal name of the applicant (including any middle and maiden name(s))
2. Date of birth
3. Social Security number
4. Driver's License (or other ID) number and state of issue
This form will be supplied by the property or business. The form will then be sent to the
Vail Police Department. When the property /business is engaged in hiring several
employees, we encourage you to send over the forms all at one time.
The Vail Police Department will conduct a record check on the individual(s) and reply to
the property /business in writing. Only Vail Police Department records will be released.
The use of any criminal records information in the hiring process is at the sole discretion
of the participating business /property.
Post Employment
Upon hiring an employee, or employees, the property /business will contact the Vail
Police Department to make arrangements for the ID card process. Depending upon the
number of employees to process, the police department may provide the service at the
police station or on the property.
The employee will be photographed and fingerprinted for an ID card related to the
program. The card will be laminated and contain:
The property or business name
Employee name
Photo of the employee
The Hotel Interdiction Program name and logo
s
The card becomes the property of the participating business or property. It will be issued
to the employee at the time of production. A list of employees obtaining an ID card will
be sent to the business /property.
Properties /businesses not participating in this phase of the program will provide the Vail
Police Department with updated lists of those employees they have hired.

Descrintian and Purpose of Course
Throughout utt,r r~e.tiom there appears to be nearly a universal p.egative sentiment about
"government." The operations of governments ape, at tb.e very least, misunderstood and,
rarely, are they Fully appreciated. While the visibility of ihls disenchantment is more
clearly seen at the state and national level, it is equally prevalent at the local level with
municipalities, counties, states, schools, and even single purpose special districts.
for the mast part, this general resants~aettt has pat bcem able to focus itself toward any
specific satvtion. Nevertheless, specific initiatives sometimes emerge from this cacophony
of boats, cackles and wails s.bout government such as Amendment ~1 which was recently
passed here in Colorado. More often than not, however, these initiatives froxa the public
simply limit the traditionaE use of money for mare money) as the iarimar'Y "cure" for
whate~-er are Lhe perceived "sicknesses" which seem to keep gove,rnmeuts from beeominlt
more effective, efficient and, canse~,uentially. trustworthy.
Wijii~„~nnev fnr the restrictive use of t) may he ngfE of the general eroblem to a mare
effective and efficient government. it is the remise ~l;' th,rs rou~~e that i,t, is tint ngces~~ri.ly
a maior Hart of Lhe solution.
The purpose of this course, then, is to eaamiae and consider new and changing concepts
about the purposes and functions of our various governments anal what tau be done in
order to recapture the public trust.
You mill lac challenged to consider how the "parts" of a particular govetnmer~t might be
rearranged. You will also bo asked to eaaminc the fundamental purpose of government as
that purpose relates to haw governments help meet the heeds of the public.
Masi irnpartantly, however, you wilt be asked to consider what effect these '
potential changes in the opere.tion +~f $uvernaiants could have on the
discipline and the profession aF public admislistration.
The challenge to the presenters as well as to the participants will be to imagine completely
novel altars~atives, pa~tteras, and arrangements in which governmental entities can mare
effectively and efficiently meet rho tiaods of their respective caustituents.
The emgb.asis will be on imagiaatian, innovation, and crestivity. Are we asking the right
questions? Aro we lvalGi,ag io the right places For the answers? Ca.n tlla "sulutiaus" bc• ute,do

Research Razor
1:'vcus
Essentially, eveluatiaa for the class will be based oa dne valor research paper. The
paper should esamiae the purpose of goverrimenL in general aad how the "parts"
can be rearranged to better meet tb~e needs of the public. The major focus of the
paper, however, should be an what cb.auges are going to be needed in the discipline
and professiost of public administration in the future if, indeed, goveratnent is
"reinvented." In short, tia.e "reiav+sntion" of government may also require the
"reinvetttivn" of the discipline and profession. of public administration.
The research paper should be divided inns Lwo ~aajor parts. The first part should
focus on how the general, overall thinking aad prs.ctice of public administration izx.
the future may have to change in order to positively impact the various levels of
government discussed in the class.
I.u the second part, you should select one of the topic areas and develop a mare in-
depth analysis of that level vt' government aad how potential changes will have a
particular impact on the profession aad discipline of public administration in that
area.
Writing ReQUirements
The research paper should be appropriately faatnoted with references utilized from
the individual readings, the primary textbooks, the presentations, and the general
classroom discussions. In particular, you are encouraged to use as authoritative
sources or for carnparative examples, information available in the two primary
textbooks aad the individual readings made available by the presenters.
The paper should be no less than 1,~4Q words. Tt will be evaluated based primarily on
the following three criteria:
TPC~nical 'W'riting, -Syntax, spelling, gunctuatian, footnotes, paragraphs,
arrangement on paper, etc.
Organization of Thvusht-Clarity, sequence of ideas, etc.
Substsnte - Cb,oice of words, iategrotion of reforeA~ces, critics! analysis, etc.
Substantiating Your Fremise -Defining your premise anal them supporting it
through authoritative sources, comparative esampies, and logically developed
arguments.
,due date for the Research Paucrs
Since the Lecture series is being offered so close to the end of the summer Sertiester, a grade
of inGOmpiccc (IW1 viii automatically be submitted when summer semester grades are due,
The paper will be due in my office by September 34. I will grade the papers with comments
and have them, returned to you by October 1g. Z will also submit grade Changes by that date.

Dear Council members
Soon, you members of the Town Council will decide wether
to put a ban on smoking in certain outdoor facilities,
privately owned businesses -etc. to save us all from getting
seconccd fiand cancer cancer and thereby save our lives.
y ~i
This indeed very comendable. But why stop there ? .
3 Let's pull out all the stops, do away with hypocrisy and
make an fionest move towards making our lives here in the
valley as sterile, sanitary and clinically save as possible.
w
t
How many lives have been destroyed by alcohol, just here , in
our neighborhoods alone ! So lets close down the suppliers
of all this alcohol related misery, the liquor stores and
bars. Lets make up some more rules so that my life will be
safer.
The 18 wheeler trucks spewing out diesel stink you can see from
the top of the mountains all up and down the valley,
• the fireplace smoke from our own fiomes, all which together,
in the big picture, will cause more harm then a few ciga-
r rettes smoked in some outdoor place or bar.
Those of us who spent a lifetime in some big city coping
F. with corporate regulations, bereaucratic clutches and the like,
and then were fortunate to escape to the relaxed atmosphere

Ms. Peggy Osterfoss
75 S. Frontage West
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Ms. Osterfoss,
Greetings on behalf of the Western Colorado Council of the Boy Scouts of America. As Eagle Scouts ourselves, we
are writing to make you aware of a very important need in our community.
Western Colorado Council serves the entire Western Slope of Colorado, including Vail and the Eagle Valley.
Participation in Scouting in our county is growing. Quality local programs require training and support for Volunteer Scouters
from the Council Professional Scout Executives. There are over 4000 youth served by the Council with 1400 adult leaders.
Three Professional Scout Executives provide the necessary training and support.
Scouting is in the forefront in the anti-drug campaign and in educating about child abuse and neglect. But more
importantly, we sincerely believe that Scouting offers the best program available to help young people become hard
working, responsible citizens. We need your help to continue creating the leaders of tomorrow.
A very large percentage of the Council budget comes from Sustaining memberships. This council does not have
support from large local industries as do many Scout councils. Furthermore, Eagle County does not have a United Way
program which is another standard source of revenue for most Scout councils.
Your contribution will enable us to support one of the oldest and best youth programs in our country. While a donation
of any size is greatly appreciated, a Century Member plaque will be awarded to donors of $100. Donors of $250 will be
awarded the Leadership plaque. A Patron plaque will be awarded $500 donors. Donors of $1000 will be awarded a Guardian
Plaque. There are also a number of very special needs you may wish to consider meeting at our summer camp facilities.
Donations are tax deductible.
Please make your donation payable to Western Colorado Council -BSA and send it in care of Kevin Lindahl in the
enclosed postage paid envelope to the address below.
We thank you for supporting the Boy Scouts of America.
Sincerely,

CONTACT: Larry Eskwith 479-2107 June 14, 1993
STATEMENT REGARDING REPRESENTATION ON THE LODGE AT VAIL ISSUE
It is common when an attorney has worked for a government entity for a long time and then
goes on to private employment with a law firm that the law firm may represent clients in
connection with matters which the government attorney was previously involved. Town
Attorney, Larry Eskwith will soon be leaving the Town of Vail to join the law firm of Bailey,
Harting & Petersen. This firm presently represents The Lodge at Vail in litigation involving
the exchange of certain Forest Service land adjacent to the Lodge at Vail land with privately
owned land located within a National Wilderness Area. The Town has opposed this
exchange, and Larry has been involved with the matter on behalf of the Town for 6 or 7
years.
The Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct in Rule 1.11 deals specifically with the problems
caused by successive government and private employment. This rule attempts to strike a
balance between giving an unfair advantage to a private client by reason of access to
confidential government information about the client's governmental adversary obtainable
only through the lawyer's government service, with the right of a government attorney to be
able to transfer employment to and from government.
Government has a legitimate need to attract qualified lawyers, as well as to maintain high
ethical standards. In an attempt to balance these interests, the rule provides that no lawyer
in a firm with which that lawyer is associated may knowingly undertake or continue
representation in a matter in which he participated personally and substantially as a public
officer or employee unless:
1. "The disqualified lawyer is screened from any participation in the matter and is
apportioned no part of the fee therefrom;"
2. "Written notice is promptly given to the appropriate government agency to enable it
to ascertain compliance with the provisions of this rule."
The law firm Larry is going to be employed with after leaving the Town of Vail has two
offices; one in Denver, Colorado, and one in Vail, Colorado. Jim Bailey, the attorney handling
the Lodge at Vail matter, and Wendy Harting will be practicing almost exclusively at the
Denver office, and Jay Petersen and Larry will be working almost exclusively at the Vail
office. All files relating to the land trade litigation will be maintained in the Denver,
June 14, 1993
Page 2
Colorado office. Larry shall have no access to those files or to papers related to those files
at any time. Larry shall not participate in any discussions with other attorneys or staff
members concerning litigation strategy, progress, or negotiations. A copy of this policy in
writing shall be provided to the T„ W u of 'Vail at the appropriate time to comply with Rule
1.11. Further, Larry's compensation whiles at Bailey, Harring & Petersen shall in no way be
connected to fees generated by the Lodge litigation.

This memo summarizes the chronology of events pertaining to a deck and hot tub that were
constructed in May 1992 at the Kandell residence, 4259 Nugget Lane, in both side setbacks and
the Gore Creek setback without PEC or DRB approval, as well as without a building permit. Or.
Kandell owns the east half of the duplex, and Mr. Pat Dunahay owns the west half. Dr. Kandell
makes his primary residence in New York state, and the staff has tried to accommodate his
schedule so that he could represent himself at the PEC and DRB meetings on this matter.
Mav i 992
The Office of Community Development was requested to investigate the possible unauthorized
construction of a deck and hot tub by neighbors of Dr. Kandell. Subsequent investigation by
Town staff revealed that a deck and hot tub had indeed been constructed in both side setbacks
and the Gore Creek setback without PEC or DRB approval, as well as without a building permit.
Dr. Kandell was contacted and asked to submit a variance application (PEC) and a DRB
application so that his request could be reviewed; Dr. Kandell submitted both applications as
requested. to addition, Dr. Kandell also appealed to the PEC the staff interpretation of how to
measure the setback from a watercourse.
Julv 13. 1992
At this PEC meeting, the applicant appealed the staff interpretation of Section 18.58.30 -Setback
from Watercourse, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. The basis for the appeal was that the
applicant felt that the centerline of Gore Creek should be measured to the deepest part of the
channel, which is not necessarily the physical center of the creek. In determining the required
setback from a watercourse, the Community Development Department staff measures the setback
from the center of the creek. Four focal surveying companies each confirmed that they measure
the centerline of a creek the same way as Town staff.
The PEC discussed this matter at this meeting and agreed unanimously to support the staff
interpretation, 6-0.
December 14, 1992
At this PEC meeting, the applicant requested two side setback variances and a Gore Creek
1
setback variance to allow for the already constructed deck. Specifically, the deck encroaches 15 ~r'
feet into the side setback on the west and 12.5 feet into the side setback to the east; 7.5 feet is
the allowed encroachment for decks located within five feet above grade. In addition, the deck
encroaches 21 feet into the 50 foot Gore Creek setback, which is measured from the centerline of
Gore Creek; 10 feet is the allowed Gore Creek setback encroachment for decks within 5 feet
above grade. The new deck (approximately 364 square feet) was built as an expansion to the
existing deck (approximately 442 square feet), with a hot tub located on the new deck.
The applicant was present at this meeting and explained to the PEC that he did not know that
variances, DRB approval, or a building permit would be required for the deck expansion. He
explained that he felt his site was uniquely constrained by both the narrow configuration of the lot
and by the 50 foot setback requirement from Gore Creek. He also explained that the deck was
built larger than he had anticipated, and that: he was planning on removing the portions of the
deck which infringed on his neighbor's privacy.
!t should be noted that prior to this PEC meeting, the Town staff was contacted by both Mr. Pat
Dunahay, who owns the west half of the duplex, and by Mr. 8~ Mrs. McCue, who are Dr. Kandell's
neighbors to the east. Mr. Dunahay's letter to the Town (attached) states that he would not object
to the requested west side setback encroachhment as long as the deck was cut back to the privacy
wall in order to maintain his privacy. The M~cCue's stated to the Town staff that they would
withdraw their objection to the east side setback encroachment if Dr. Kandell would agree to plant
five (5) evergreen trees at least ten feet in Height between the deck and their property in order to
maintain their privacy. Subsequently, in the Community Development Department's memorandum
to the PEC, it was recommended that the slide setback variances be approved with the condition
that the trees be planted as requested by the McCue's. The staff recommended denial of the
Gore Creek setback request.
tt was the consensus of the PEC that the variance requests should be approved and denied per
the staff memo (the side setback encroachrnents were acceptable with conditions, and the Gore
Creek encroachment was not). The PEC stated that the landscaping to mitigate the east side
setback encroachment (towards the McCue residence) should be determined by the DRB. The
vote was 6-0 on this matter. Dr. Kandell expressed that this was acceptable and that he would
not appeal the PEC's decision.
Aaril 21. 1993
The DRB visited the Kandell residence during site visits, whereupon Mr. Dwight Kudel
represented Pat Dunahay in this matter. Mlr. Kudel explained to the DRB that Pat Dunahay was
requesting that the deck be cut back to the shared privacy wall in order to maintain privacy to the
Dunahay residence. Comments on-site by some of the DRB members included that the deck did
not appear to meet Building Code standards.
At the DRB meeting, at which Dr. Kandell could not attend in person due to his residence out of
state, a conference telephone call took place so that Dr. Kandell could represent himself. Dr.
Kandell stated that he did not wish to plant any trees to mitigate the visual impact of the deck,
and requested that the DRB review his application accordingly. Comments from the DRB
included that the trees should be planted.
The DRB approved, by a vote of 4 to 1, the design for the deck, hot tub, and the landscaping to
screen them, with the following conditions:
2
1,
1. That the deck be brought into conformance with the Uniform Building Code, subject to the
inspection and approval of the Town of Vail Building Department.
2. That the deck be cut back approximately 12'-8" to the existing privacy wall that is shared
between the Kandell and Dunahay residences (duplex structure). From this point on the
privacy wall on the west, the deck shall be cut back in a straight line to .the northeast
comer of the deck. (A sketch of this configuration is attached.)
3. That in no case may the deck exceed five (5) feet in height above existing grade,
measured from the existing grade to the top of the decking. (Community Development
staff has field verified the height of the deck at the privacy wall to be approximately 3 feet,
and at the northeast comer of the deck to be approximately 4'-6".)
4. That a minimum of five (5) evergreen trees 10 to 12 feet in height be planted between the
deck and the McCue's property directly to the east to mitigate the visual impact of the
deck. (Please see the attached sketch for approximate location of these trees.)
Further, the DRB and the PEC have required that ALL conditions of approval be
Implemented (or the entire deck removed) by Memorial Day (May 31),1993. Dr. Kandell has
been Informed by town staff that failure to do so will result In the Issuance of a citation by
the Town of Vatl for the construction of an Illegal and unapproved structure.
Dr. Kandell was sent a written copy of these conditions of DRB approval, at which time he elected
to appeal the DRB's decision to the Town Council.
Aril/Mav 1993
Community Development staff has had conversations with Pat Dunahay, Mr. and Mrs. McCue,
and Dr. Kandell regarding this matter. Both Mr. Dunahay and the McCue's are requesting that
the conditions of DRB approval be upheld by the Town Council; Dr. Kandell is requesting relief
from the landscaping requirement as an approved condition of the DRB. Dr. Kandell is also
requesting that a one month extension to the May 31, 1993 deadline for implementing the PEC
and DRB conditions (i.e. cutting back the deck and planting the trees) be granted by the Town
Council.
The Community Development staff Is recommending that the Town Council uphold the
DRB's decision regarding this matter, and that a two week extension be given to Implement
ALL of the conditions of approval (June 15, 1993). The staff feels that this two week
extension Is reasonable given the fact that the matter (s being appealed to Town Council
for final determination on June 1, 1993.

Your certified letter to Dr. lEtobert Kandell dated January 19,
1993, outlined several decisions of the Planning and Environ-
mental Commission concerning a deck with hot tub that was built
prior to application for setb,~ck variances and a building
permit.
I would like to know if tt,e conditions required prior to the
granting of side setback variances have been met or are being
addressed. Have plans for the modifications to the deck and
hot tub, as well as the appro~?ed landscape plan, been received
so that the pro~eet will be completed by May 31, 1993. I
would like to have the opportunity ~o review the landscaping
plan upor, receipt by you. Also, what are~your intentions if the
requirements are net met within the prescribed time limit?
The hot tub is now fully operational and being used on a daily
basis. This right was not part of any agreement which I
~..~as made aware of and T would like a copy of this permit
for my f ilea.

TO: The Vail Town Council
FROM: George Lamb, Chairman DRB
RE: Kandell Deck Appeal
Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend this evening's
Town Council meeting during which you are scheduled to hear the
applicant's appeal of our decision involving a deck, hot tub and
required landscaping at 4259 Nugget Lane.
The June 1, 1993 Community Development memo to you
summarizes the events pertaining this matter in great detail. You
will note from listed chronology that the first involvement of the
. DRB was on April 21, 1993, almost a year after the Community
Development became aware of a possible unauthorized construction
project.
The DRB went to the site prior to the April 21st meeting. A
reported representative of the western neighbor, Mr. Dunahay, was
present and offered conditions of approval. At the DRB the eastern
neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. McClue restated their conditions of
approval which were incorporated into the PEC approval of a setback
variance.
By the time this matter reached the DRB the basic parameters
of approval were clearly defined and our direction was one of
determining appropriate landscaping. Since the McClue consent
required five evergreen trees to be planted in the area between the
Kandell and McClue residences, and given that Dr. Kandell had
reportedly agree to this condition of the variance request, the DRB .
directive seemed preordained.
Dr. Kandell was granted a unique appearance at the April
21st DRB meeting via a conference call. Although the applicant was
unavailable for some thirty minutes past the prescribed time, I had
the opportunity to talk with him for some fifteen or twenty
minutes.
I recall the conversation as being somewhat one sided and
argumentive during which the conditions and reported past
understanding were challenged by Dr. Kandell. The applicant
eventually terminated the conversation.
Page Two
TOV Council
DR. Kandell Appeal
Given the duration of tine matter to that date, I felt it was
inappropriate to table the application any further. The application
was revised by the DRB to again incorporate the PEC recommendations
and the conditions of the PEC variance approval, and the
requirements of the western neighbor, Mr. Dunahay. A motion was
made accordingly and was passE:d.
Dr. Kandell has appeal the DRB decision in a timely manner;
however, it could be argued. that his complaint is with the
conditions of the PEC variance approval, and which appeal period
has expired.
In any event the neighbors, the PEC, the DRB, and most
importantly, the applicant needs this matter to be finalized now
versus any more delays.

above Subject matter. However, some emergencies in my medical practice

You have before you an outline of the history of this project. i would
first tike to go on record as stating my original error in building the deck
without prior approval and appropriate building permits. This was done
completely out of ignorance on my part with regard to the proper
procedure to be followed, As a favor tq me, a couple of my friends built
the deck in gratitude for my lending them my home for theft relatives' use
at various times.
Criginally, t had applied for a variance for a side setback. i was led to
believe by a town planner named Ji1! (who is no longer with the planning
Commission) that this was given routinely because of the nature of the
property. Bob McCue, who is my neighbor on the east side, stated he would
not object td same if t would plant "five ten-foot evergreen trees." The
DRB acquiesced to his exact wishes and stated same in their stipulation.
At the time, I had agreed with i~ob #o plant some trees, however, not the
specific size and type he requested, Subsequent to the meeting during
which the variance was considered, i was approached by someone who
stated he was $ personal friend of Bob MoCue's and was on the DRB. i
mention this only because 1 was disturbed by the fact that the DRB almost
verbatim gave Bob McCue wha# he was asking for. At the same meeting,
when th® mention of large evergreen trees was made, somebody on the PBC
stated that more shade by the Cre®k was surety not needed. Nis view was
tabled and the decision was left to the DRB,

Memorial Weekend i pieced lines on the deck that conformed to the

at that time that i could cut back the deck to the hot tub tine so as not to
require the side setback valiance and subsequently eliminate the "need"
for trees to be planted. That is to say, i felt I would no longer have to
comply with Bob's wishes for trees since 1 was no longer infringing upon

u~ MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development
DATE: May 24, 1993
SUBJECT: A request for a conditional use permit to allow for the elimination of a
dwelling unit in order for the Vail Assoaates Real Estate office to
expand in the A 8~ D Building, located at 286 Bridge Street/Lots A - D,
Block 5A, Vail Village First Filing.
Applicant: Vail Associates/Jack Hunn
Planner: Mike Mollica
.....,,~:,:,::n
, , n. ..:......::......:..;:::.:,r:;:.;:.;:.;;::~.::,:,
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED REQUEST
Barry Florescue, owner of the A & D Building, is represented by Jack Hunn with Vail
Associates, Inc. and is requesting a conditional use permit to allow for the elimination of a
dwelling unit within the Commercial Core I zone district. The A 8~ D Building is located at the
southeast intersection of Bridge Street and Gore Creek Drive. Vail Associates Real Estate
currently operates a real estate office, of approximately 575 square feet in size, on the ground
floor of the A 8~ D Building. Vail Associates is now interested in expanding their existing real
estate office through the conversion of a second floor residential condominium. This
condominium consists of approximately 1,820 square feet, and is located on the second floor
immediately above the existing real estate office.
According to Section 18.24.040 Permitted and Conditional Uses -Second Floor "a conditional
use permit will be required in accordance with Chapter 18.60 for any use which eliminates any
existing dwelling or accommodation unit or any portion thereof." Real estate offices fall under
the category "professional offices, business offices and studios" and are considered permitted
uses on the second floor within the Commercial Core I zone district. Because the existing
area proposed to be converted to a professional office is currently a three bedroom
condominium, a conditional use permit is required.
II. ZONING ANALYSIS
The only development standard which would be effected by this request would be the parking
requirement. The differential in the parking requirement, for the conversion from residential to
professional office, would be an increase of 5.28 parking spaces. The residential parking
requirement is two parking spaces. The professional office parking requirement would be 7.28
parking spaces. Since properties located within the Commercial Core I zone district are not
allowed to provide on-site parking, the applicant will be required to pay into the parking fund.
Since the parking differential is 5.28 parking spaces x $8,000 per parking space, the payment
into the parking fund would be $42,240.

t'
III. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
The Commercial Core I zone district contains its own conditional use permit factors, which are
listed in Section 18.24.070 of the Municipal Code. Upon review of the Commercial Core I
conditional use permit factors, the Department of Community Development recommends
dental of the conditional use permit based upon the following criteria:
A. Effects of vehicular traffic on Commercial Core I district;
B. Reduction of vehicular traffic un Commercial Core I district;
C. Reduction of nonessential off-street parking;
D. Control of delivery, pick up, a.nd service vehicles;
E. Development of public spacers for use by pedestrians;
F. Continuance of the various commercial, residential and public uses in
Commercial Core 1 district so 'as to maintain the existing character of the area;
G. Control quality of construction, architectural design, and landscape design in the
Commercial Core I zone district so as to maintain the existing character of the
area.
It is the staff's position that the only criteria or factor which is applicable to the applicant's
request is Letter F above. The Commerciati Core I zone district is intended to be a mixed use,
commercial, residential and lodging zone district. The horizontal zoning established by the
zone district is set up to maintain these uses. It is the staff's opinion that the reduction of the
bed base in the Village does not further the purpose and goals of the Commercial Core I zone
district. Additionally, we believe that the following goals, objectives and policies, as listed in
the Vail Village Master Plan, are applicable to the applicant's request:
Goal #2: To foster a strong tourist industry and promote year-round economic
health.
Objective 2.3: Increase the number of residential units available for short-term
overnight accommodations.
Policv 2.3.1: The development of short-term accommodation units is strongly
encouraged. Residential units that are developed above existing density
levels are required to be designed or managed in a manner that makes
them available for short-term ovemight rental.

IV. REVIEW OF SIMILAR REQUESTS
In 1988, the PEC approved a conditional use permit request for the elimination of two dwelling
units in the Commercial Core I zone district (Mill Creek Court Building). This request involved
combining three dwelling units into one larger unit. The request was approved as it was
determined that the elimination of the two dwelling units would not upset the balance and mix
of land uses as the actual "bed base" of the units was not being reduced and the residential
use was maintained.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff is recommending denial of the requested conditional use permit to eliminate one
dwelling unit within the Commercial Core I zone district. Although the request has no impacts
on six of the seven review criteria, we believe that Criteria F would be impacted in a negative
fashion, and that the elimination of a dwelling unit in the Village Core does not further'the Vail
Village Master Plan goals and the purpose of the Commercial Core I zone district.
Should the PEC decide to approve this request, the staff would recommend two conditions of
approval. The first condition would be that the applicant be required to pay into the parking
fund the required amount as indicated in Section II of this memorandum. The second
condition of approval would be that the applicant meet all of the Fire Code requirements
necessary for the conversion from residential to commercial use.

Jeff Bowen made a motion to approve this request per the staff memo with Greg
Amsden seconding the motion. A unanimous 6-0 vote approved this request.
~3. A request for a conditional use to allow tee-pees to be used in conjunction with Vail
Associates summer programs to be located adjacent to the Base of Chair 8, Tracts B
and D, Lionshead 1st Filing.
Applicant: Vail Associates
Planner: Jim Curnutte
Jim Curnutte made a brief presentation per the staff memo and stated that staff was
recommending approval of this request and that no conditions were being attached to
this approval. He also stated that he had not been contacted by any of the adjacent
property owners concerning this regluest.
Kristan Pritz added that the approval would be for one year and that after that time the
Tee-pee Village would be relocated to the top of the Gondola.
Greg Amsden asked the applicant, 'Bob Matarese, about access to the pedestrian
bridge.
Bob Matarese responded that access would be available without needing to go through
the Tee-pee Village.
Kathy Langenwalter made a motion to approve this request per the staff memo with Bill
Anderson seconding the motion. A 5-0 vote approved this request with Allison Lassoe
abstaining due to her employment with Vail Associates.
4. A request for a conditional use permit to allow for the elimination of a dwelling unit in
order for the Vail Associates Real Estate office to expand in the A & D Building,
located at 286 Bridge Street/Lots A - D, Block 5A, Vail Village First Filing.
Applicant: Vail Associates
Planner: Mike Mollica
Mike Mollica made a presentation per the staff memo and stated that staff is
recommending denial of this request for a conditional use permit because staff
believes this proposal would be in conflict with the purpose section of the Commercial
Core I zone district and would be contrary to the relevant Vail Village Master Plan
goals, objectives and policies outlin~ad in the staff memo, particularly Goal #2.
Ken Wilson, the representative from Vail Associates, stated that he does not feel that
this project contradicts Goal #2 of the Vail Village Master Plan because he feels that
real estate offices contribute to touriism.
Greg Amsden stated that he was a~ncemed with this proposal because if it was
granted, it could set a precedent.

(
Diana Donovan stated that the PEC's main concern with this request was that the
conversion to a professional office could result in a "loss of life and excitement on
Bridge Street".
Greg Amsden made a motion to deny the request for a conditional use permit per the
staff's memo and also because this request could open up future problems at this site,
by allowing more GRFA to be added above the professional office (new third floor).
Bill Anderson seconded this motion. Kristan Peitz added, for clarification, that future
scenarios would have to be considered separately in respect to GRFA additions. Greg
Amsden withdrew his previous statement and a 4-1-1 vote denied this request with
Allison Lassoe abstaining due to her winter employment with Vail Associates and Jeff
Bowen opposing this vote.
Jeff Bowen stated that it was his opinion that reducing the bed base on Bridge Street
had merit because of the noise in this area.

three new goals for The Trust: accessible and
affordable health care, the strengthening
of families and human development.
The first funding initiatives to support the
attainment of these goals have been designed
by The Tnlst and disseminated throughout the
state. In 1992, The Trust allocated $4.9 million
over a five-year period to establish the
Colorado Healthy Communities Initiative,
which supports community-based, collaborative
problem-solving to address local health needs
throughout Colorado. 1n addition, The Trust
has joined with The Pew Health Professions
Commission to examine the education, licen-
sure and distribution of Colorado health care
professionals to meet the needs of the state's
citizens in the future.
