Joint Work Session ~niith the PEC and the DRB Re: Draft Town Greg Hall Shops Master Plan Report. Action Requested of Council: Staff and consultants desire to receive input from Council and board members regarding the Draft Master Plan Report to date. Background Rationale: Morter Architects, in conjunction with RNL Design and Fleet Maintenance Consultants, was hired by TOV to perform a space needs analysis and prepare a master plan for the Town Shop's Facility. The process involved on-site interviews with employees at all levels and in~Jepth inspection/analysis of current facilities and operational practices. The study addresses projected growth over the next twenty years. ICey issues addressed by the study include storage, safety, flow of traffic, and operational efficiencies. The report now addresses the work space, safety and code violations of the Town Shop's Facility. Staff prior to formal adoption by the PEC and Council, would like an opportunity to hear comments and concerns, so they may be discussed and addressed. Staff Recommendation: Listen to presentation, bring up concerns, 1 comments, and suggestions which can be discussed and addressed in the final draft report, prior to formal adoption. 3:00 P.M. 6. Discussion Re: Draft report on Holiday Traffic Mitigation Plan. Greg Hall Action Requested of Council: Listen to the plan, comment, revise, approve. Backaround Rationale: Staff has been working with Vail Associates and the Transportation Advisory Committee to work out a plan to reduce traffic congestion during extreme peak traffic days. Staff Recommendation: Listen, comment, revise, and advise staff to proceed with the plan to the public. 3:15 P.M. 7. Discussion Re: Revised Parking Proposal. Mike Rose Action Requested of Council: Review revised parking proposal aimed at decreasing winter traffic and increasing evening restaurant and retail business. Backaround Rationale: In response to community concerns discussed at the 10/5/93 Regular Evening Meeting, a new proposal has been developed. The new recommendation would restore 90- minutes of free parking in the Vail Village and Lionshead structures and extend free evening parking in the structures to three hours upon entry between 6:00 P.M. and 9:00 P. M. daily. It is estimated the plan for extended free evening parking will create a shortfall of $46,000.00 in parking structure revenues. The new proposal also calls for unrestricted free parking at Ford Park before 8:00 A.M. or after 1:00 P.M. daily. Between 8:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M., parking would be free for riders of two or more, or an $8.00 fee would be charged for non~arpool vehicles. The plan also calls for improving the town's free bus system by increasing peak service on outlying routes. Please see copy of the attached related press releases. Staff Recommendation: Approve revised proposed plan. 3:30 P.M. 8. Budget Wrap-Up. Steve Thompson 9. Information Update. 10. Council Reports. 1 i. Other. 12. Adjournment.

The facility currently houses Streets and Roads, Fleet Maintenance, Parks, Carpentry, Electrical, Administration and much of the Transportation Divisions. The Public Works Transportation Complex has been serving the Town of Vail since its construction in 1979, based on a programming study ® completed in 1976. The existing facilities were planned fora 10 to 15 year horizon, ® which has elapsed. The purpose of this study was to determine the current and future needs of the department, and develop a master plan to meet the identified needs for the next 10 to 20 years. 1 METIiOI)OI,OG~' The study was completed in several phases. First, the existing Administration and Maintenance Buildings were analyzed with regard to adequacy of the architecture, structure, mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems. Beaudin Ganze Consulting Engineers assisted in the evaluations. A site tour and series of interviews followed to determine current and future space needs. Normal operations were viewed to assess the adequacy and/or deficiencies of the existing facilities in meeting current needs. A space needs program and design criteria were developed from the data collected, and reviewed with members of the department. The second phase of the project was analysis of the site opportunities and constraints, followed by alternative master plan studies and development of the recommended master plan included in this report. Most of the work was accomplished during an "On-Site Design Session" held at the Public Works/Transportation Complex July 12- 15, 1993. The Design Team spent four days brainstorming, designing, drawing and refuting master plan concepts, with daily reviews with Town of Vail employees at all levels. Public Works department heads, supervisors, mechanics, equipment operators, bus drivers, etc. provided input on the plans, as did members of other departments including Police, Fire and Community Development. Subsequent review comments by the Public Works Department have further refined the program and plan. 1 IEX>[S'T~1G C®1VI9ITI®l~S The Vail Public Works/Transportation Department currently operates from several sites within the town. Most facilities are located at the Public Works Complex north of Interstate I-70 between the east and main Vail interchanges. Some Transportation offices and bus operations (driver changes, etc.) are located at the Vail Transportation Center south of I-70 just east of the main Vail interchange. The Old Town shop (former location of the Public Works operations) is used for storage of electrical supplies, light poles, street signs, fire equipment, trailers and other equipment/material. ® This study focuses on the expansion and improvement of the main facility. While the ® Transportation Center will continue to be used as a satellite facility for bus operations, it is anticipated the Old Town Shop site will be needed for future expansion of the Vail Wastewater Department and will not be available for use by Public Works on a long term basis. The proposed program and master plan consolidates the activities from the Old Town Shop to the main Public Works Complex. The Town of Vail owns approximately 17 acres of land at the Public Works Complex, and leases an adjacent parcel on the west for snow storage. Currently, the utilized area of the site is approximately 7.7 acres; 6.5 acres consumed by buildings, parking and . circulation, while 1.2 acres at the west side of the site begin the snow melt area. There are currently three main buildings (Administration, Maintenance/Bus Barn, and Bus Wash) plus numerous small storage buildings and trailers. Parking and circulation generally occur along the south side of the site. The north side of the site is used for materials storage, staging, the Police Impound Lot and CDL training course. The Town of Vail has grown and changed significantly since Public Works moved to its current location, and the site and facilities are in need of improvements to operate efficiently. Safety regulations regarding shop and working environments, fuel types and storage, etc. have also become stricter. Divisions such as Parks continue to expand as the Town of Vail creates more parks and increases planting areas, as does the complexity of the snow plowing operation as the town becomes denser. Following are some of the existing deficiencies which should be corrected. 2 Site Issues Improve site security and lighting Upgrade existing fuel tanks to meet regulations Organize and protect materials and implements stored outside Improve vehicular circulation to avoid disruption of traffic flow by cueing Improve site access -under and onto highway Building Issues Improve ventilation and lighting in work areas Provide adequate space for offices, shops, crew areas and storage Provide designated space for large crew and safety meetings Expand bus facilities (garage, work bays, fueling) to accommodate longer buses Health and Safety Issues Improve the Welding Shop -increase size and ventilation Upgrade Fleet Maintenance pit to meet regulations Upgrade waste oil and hazardous material handling to meet regulations Improve separation between shops and office/crew areas -noise and ventilation Mechanical and Electrical Issues Upgrade the Administration Building Heating Correct code violations in the main electrical services Correct code deficiencies in the maintenance shops Operational Issues Provide common loading dock and staging area for deliveries Provide sufficient space for efficient operation -maintenance areas, storage Consolidate manager and engineer offices in the Administration Building Consolidate bus driver areas with the bus barn 3 SPACE li1EEDS The programming phase of this study identified a need for additional space at the Public Works/Transportation Complex. The net increase required is approximately 2.5 acres, including activities consolidated from the Old Town Shop. Shop/Maintenance areas and enclosed storage make up the greatest percentage of increase, totaling approximately 48,000 square feet of space. Additional office and administrative ® support areas account for 4500 square feet required over the next ten years. The total additional building area required is approximately 52,000 square feet. Covered storage and parking areas also need to be enlarged by 11,500 square feet. This is caused mostly by the need to increase efficiency and reduce wear on equipment, vehicles and materials left exposed to the harsh weather season after season. Very little of the increase is caused by growth in equipment or vehicle inventories. To provide access to covered parking and storage areas, reduce congestion on the south side of the Maintenance Building and maintain a safe, organized traffic flow, the area dedicated to site circulation must also increase significantly. The justification for space increases are easy to see by observing daily operations. It is difficult to check and service buses in the garage because there is only about three feet between the back of one bus and the front of the next. Space at the end of maintenance bays in the Fleet and Streets shops is utilized for equipment storage, welding and equipment repair, tool cribs and locker areas, reducing the depth available for parking and servicing large vehicles. The carpentry shop equipment is all on wheels because there is not enough space to leave equipment set up for operation. Time consuming trips to purchase supplies are common because a lack of wood storage space. The electrical division currently stores most of its materials and does some of its work at the Old Town Shop due to lack of space in the Maintenance Building. A summary of the Public Works/Transportation program is included on the next two pages. Existing and proposed future areas are identified for each division and space type 4 TOW1~T OF 'NAIL SPACE NEEDS PROGRAM PUBLIC VJORI:S FACILITY MASTER PLAI~r J~ Ezistinr. I I Pro>'ram SD3CP.

To provide additional area for buildings, parking and storage, it is proposed to enlarge the usable site area from 7.7 acres to 10.2 acres, a net increase of 2.5 acres. The berm and landscape screening on the south edge of the site will be retained. All expansion will occur by pushing into the hillside north of the existing facilities. The north edge of the usable site area is moved from 25 to 100 feet north behind the Maintenance/Bus Barn Building, averaging approximately 60 feet. A combination of storage buildings and retaining walls will line the north site edge, with some regrading required beyond the retaining structures. Site sections are included showing the proposed reconfiguration of the north site edge. A civil engineering review is currently being completed to look at the regrading issues in greater detail. Within the expanded site, additions are proposed on the west side of the Administrative Building and on the east, north and west sides of the Maintenance/Bus Barn Building. The existing fuel islands, tank farms and bus wash facilities are to be removed and replaced with new facilities on the east side of the bus barn. The expansion to the north of the existing shops provides additional shop and maintenance areas, and additional depth in the bus garage will accommodate longer buses. Most of the proposed development will not be visible beyond the site boundaries. The Maintenance/Bus Barn Building addition and new covered parking and storage areas will be hidden by the existing building. The addition to the Administrative Building may be visible from the east, and the proposed employee house at the east end of the site will probably be visible over the berm. The greenhouse, nursery, covered cinder storage and construction debris staging will be somewhat visible beyond the west end of the Maintenance Building. While some changes will be visible on the sight during various construction phases, no objectionable long term visual impacts are expects from the proposed site development. In addition to providing improved facilities for Public Works/Transportation operations, the master plan provides additional and/or enhanced amenities for the Town of Vail. The following services will being accommodated on the expanded site: Cinder recycling Christmas tree chipping and recycling as landscape mulch Improved oil/water separation and hazardous waste handling Alternative fuels facilities for town vehicles Enhanced landscaping along the existing south berm Affordable employee housing units 7 K~G__~.~ t'crA't, r.oW /pr..~„ rv.,.~ fHvt+::,u 1!rin7wN ~ N` c!' ~ .~4 c i ~i1S-; alt<' ~,w^~~''y-A, ,i `l~7'it r°.~"" Y •'~'o X91 ~j. _ Ma g ~ D l i ~L l ' tjAy ~ t i~ ~ ~ I^ '„s"`r.

The phasing is required to keep the site operational and due to funding constraints. Expansion of the site to the north must be accomplished first to provide space for the other site improvements. Other development can occur based on the priority of space needs and available funding. Construction of the covered parking and storage areas along the north edge of the space will provide space for staging during renovation and expansion of the shops facilities. The Bus Barn expansion needs to precede purchase of longer buses, and replacement of the fueling facilities and tank farm is linked to government regulations and expiration of the Town of Vail's current fuel supply contract. The expansion and renovation of the Administrative Building can occur whenever funding is available, as can development of employee parking and housing. A proposed phasing plan follows with a respective conceptual cost estimate for budgeting. Phase I -Site Expansion and Site Utility Un_ grades A. Retaining Walls and Excavation B.

Sitework The following budget costs were estimated for each project phase from the master plan and conceptual building plans developed at the on-site. The project development costs are estimated in 1993 dollars and will need to be adjusted based on the timing of each project and future rates .of inflation in construction costs. Funding of just over $2,000,000 has been earmarked for essential maintenance projects at the Public Works/Transportation Complex and Old Town Shop through 1997. Funding by the Town of Vail may be augmented by grants from the Federal Transit Administration. FTA funding of approximately $3,000,000 will be requested for improvements to the transportation facilities, fleet maintenance facilities and related site work required by their expansions. 1 Phase I Site Expansion and Site Utility Upgrades $1,752,000 Phase II North Buildings and Covered Storage 1,349,200 Phase III Maintenance Building Expansion and Remodel 2,547,000 Phase IV Transportation Expansion and Remodel 1,280,300 Phase V Administration Remodel, Expansion and Parking 698,300 Phase VI Employee Housing 184.000 TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET $7,810,800 14 1 r ~ ~ECE~VE® OCT ~ ~ wAE~~i tNG N®TICE K~c.a~ Workshop ®n C~®6VGESTI®N MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS: ~eflning the Eramevvork Redlsson Piotel ®enorer S®uth 7007 Sa Cllnton Street Greenwood 19111age Quest ®t 8=25 at Arapahoe Road, Exlt ~ 97, then s®uth on Cllnton 9~ tulle) Wedn ay, ®ct®ber 20, 9893 e ~ ~eMe You (or a member of your organization) are cordially invited to attend a worlvng meeting sponsored by the Colorado ®epartment of Transportation, the ®enver Fegional Council of Governments, and the pikes peak Area Council of Governments on the topic of Congestion management Systems.

Delays affect travel time for both people and goods, making employees late for work and reducing the productivity and competitiveness of Colorado companies. Congestion increases air pollution and diminishes the overall quality of life. Consequently, it is important for the regions and the state to identify and implement cast-effective methods for alleviating congestion. The federal government, through the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), has provided the opportunity (and requirement) to develop and implement a statewide system for managing traffic congestion. The federal government defines a Congestion Management System (CMS) as °a systematic process that provides information on transportation system pertormance to decision-makers for selecting and implementing cost-effective strategies to manage new and existing facilities so that traffic congestion is alleviated and the mobility of persons and goods is enhanced." The Colorado Department of Transportation (COOT), the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), and the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments (PPACG) have been working cooperatively to interpret the federal directive and develop a CMS that is tailored to the characteristics and needs of the two regions and the state. An initial public workshop was conducted in April 9 993 to identify public expectations about CMS. Issues such as what the CMS was expected 4o do, how i4 was to relate to other planning and programming processes, what the specific elements or components that comprise the CMS should be, and how CMS should lead to implementation of strategies/actions/projects to alleviate traffic congestion were discussed. Since that workshop, the project team has been working to address the issues raised and identify the framework under which CMS would operate. The purpose of this second workshop is to present the proposed framework and solicit comments and reactions. Paamework Overview The framework of the CRS is fundamentally shaped by five guiding principles: o bong-term and short-term transportation decisions are made by the regional and statewide transportation planning processes, through adoption of regional and statewide transportation plans.and regional and statewide transportation improvement programs (TIPs). CMS provides information as well as recommendations to the regional and statewide transportation planning processes. o The principal objective for the CMS is the management of transportation facilities to alleviate traffic congestion. However, the CMS must recognize the implications of its 1 actions on other issue/activity areas (like air quality, for example), and identify and pursue synergistic approaches. • Congestion management activities have two different levels of focus. One level, referred to as the systems level, encompasses the entire primary transportation network and . provides broad information and strategic recommendations to the transportation planning processes. The second level, referred to as the corridor/subarea level, is where specific actions directed at specific problems are developed. • CMS will emphasize travel demand reduction and operational management actions that can reasonably and cost-effectively alleviate traffic congestion. • iSTEA requires that transportation plans and TIPs be updated ar revised on a frequent and recurring basis. The elements of CMS that provide input to these activities are expected to be similarly updated or revised on a comparable cycle. Svstem Level Activities At the system level, the CMS will provide support to the developmenUupdate of transportation plans and TIPs, and provide an on-going structure for the consideration of congestion management strategies/actions and their integration into the overall transportation planning processes. The system level CMS activities that support the development/update of transportation plans include: • Reporting the current and future extent of congestion on the system. System performance is proposed to be reported as lane miles of roadway with good/fair/poor operations based on volume-to-capacity ratio. Person miles of travel will also be tracked in potential fixed rail transiUHOV lane corridors. Consideration will be given to future use of travel speed as a performance measure. • Identifying where congestion is or will be most severe. This is ernisioned as a grouping (for example, the 10 most congested corridors), not a rank ordered list. The purpose is to assure that the transportation planning processes focus attention on the most needy corridors. • Developing system level congestion management strategy/action sets tailored to different levels of potential funding and identifying anticipated system benefits from each set. In other words, if $100 million over a 20-year period were directed towards congestion management actions, what would the most appropriate utilization of those resources be and what benefits would be expected? What if $200 million or $500 million were available? • Examining corridors on the basis of levels of congestion and potential effectiveness of management actions and recommending where management actions or capital investments might be most appropriate. This examination will be done with the understanding that all capital investment projects incorporated in transportation plans will w. 2 r p be accompanied by appropriate congestion management actions. It will also recognize that in many of the most heavily congested corridors, the transportation planning process may conclude that capital improvements cannot be implemented given social, ®nvironmental, and fiscal constraints, and that management actions will be the only possible response. The system level CMS activities that support the development of TIPs include: o Identifying where congestion problems are or will be most severe (prioritizing the problems). o Specifying the °regionalp or °statewide" congestion management programs that are recommended for funding consideration. o Recommending corridor/subarea congestion management actions for funding consideration, using specific corridor/subarea level studies as the basis. The system level CMS is also expected to provide the on-going structure for incorporating .congestion management strategies/actions within the overall transportation planning processes. l~ithin the ®enver region, this structure will be provided through the Mobility Management Plan (MMP). The ®enver MMP will reflect the most cost-effective package of congestion management strategies/actions for the level of resource allocation specified by the transportation planning process. It will recognize the capital investment decisions incorporated into the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and work to support them, and will also recognize the areas of congestion where the RTP did not recommend capital investments and will address congestion management requirements in those areas on a priority basis. The MMP will provide direction for corridor/subarea level congestion management studies, and will validate and, as appropriate, incorporate the results from such studies. Measured results from actual corridor/subarea level implementation will be brought into the MMP for dissemination and system level re-assessment. The MMP is expected to be revised on the same frequency as the RTP, which will allow periodic adjustmen4 based on revised resource allocations and evolving understanding of the costs and effectiveness of potential actions. Corridor/subarea Level Activities lf~hile the system level CMS will provide broad strategic direction to congestion management activities, the identification of specific congestion management actions to respond to specific problems IS best pUPSUed at a COrPldor or subarea I@vel. Such examinations may be appropriate in one of three different contexts: o Part of capital improvement project development. Most of the capital investment projects identified in transportation plans cannot be implemented without additional study, and these are typically done on a corridor/subarea basis. Identifying a management alternative, specifying management activities that should accompany the capital investment project, and evaluating staging options for the overall project are all appropriate congestion management considerations that must be incorporated in these studies. 3 ,T 'p • "Management Only" corridor. In congested locations where the transportation planning ' process has determined that capital investments will not be pursued, corridor/subarea level studies will be needed to identify the specific "management only" strategies to be pursued. • Prior to capital investment. Transportation plans reflect capital improvements over a 20- year horizon. However, capital projects in some severely congested corridors may not be implementable for a long period of time. Corridor/subarea level congestion management studies may be pursued to identify management actions to be implemented in the interim. Your Input We solicit your reactions to and comments on this framework, and ask for your input specifically on the following issues: • Does this framework provide a reasonable basis for incorporating considerations of traffic congestion into the transportation planning processes? • Will the CMS products add "value" to the transportation planning processes? • Does the framework provide adequate assurance that travel demand reduction and operational management actions will be considered in the transportation planning processes? 4 ee e4 T®1~1®F ~AdL 75 South Frontage Road fail, Colorado 81657 303-479-2100 FAX 303-479-2157 ~®R IAflRflE®BAT~ I~~~~A~E ®~®ber ~ 3, 9 993 Contact: IVlike Rose 479-2978 Suzanne Silverthorn 479-2995 ~®l1NCl~ ~®NSY®~BS REi/ISE® ~ARICING PR®P®SA~ T® ACC®AAflA®®ATE ~®MNIUNITY C®NCERNS (Vail)--Next Tuesday (10-99}, the Vail Town Council will consider a revised parking proposal aimed at decreasing winter traffic and increasing evening restaurant and retail business. The discussion is scheduled for 3 p.m. in the Town Council Chambers. The latest proposal strives to accommodate community concerns outlined at a public hearing on Oct. 5. The new recommendation, as proposed by the town's Transportation Committee, restores 90-minutes of free parking in the Vail Village and Lionshead structures, and extends free evening parking in the structures to three hours upon entry between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. daily. The previous proposal would have shortened free day parking to 45 minutes, with a $9 fee up to 90 minutes. The plan for extended free evening parking will create an estimated shortfall of $46,000 in parking structure revenues, according to Finance Director Steve Thompson. But merchants who attended the Oct. 5 public hearing say the town can make up the deficit with higher sales tax revenues generated by an increase in evening retail bus~~ess as a result of the change. (more) REVISED PARKING PROPOSAL ADD 1 The new proposal also calls for unrestricted free parking at Ford Park before 8 a.m. or after 1 p.m. daily. Between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., parking would be free for riders of two or more, or an $8 fee would be charged for non-carpool vehicles. Ford Park holds about 250 parking spaces and primarily serves area workers. The plan also calls for improving the town's free bus system by increasing peak service on outlying routes. "The Transportation Committee is interested in trying these approaches for the next year," said Transportation Manager Mike Rose. "But if we're not successful in reducing congestion or increasing bus ridership, we'll have to come up with something else for 1995." For more information, contact Rose at 479-2178. # # # i~ , r~ _ ll ~ lFOR IRflME®I a,TE RELE~aSE October 11, 1993 Contact: Mike Rose 479-2178 Jody Doster 479-2174 lfVII~YER SUS SYSTEM PROMISES IPJCREASE® SERVICE. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS (Vail)--The Town of Vail's 1994 winter bus system promises to offer more stops, more drivers and more convenience than ever. The winter schedule will begin November 20--or earlier-- depending on the opening of Vail Mountain, said Transportation Manager Mike Rose. Transit Operations Coordinator Jody Doster and his staff have attempted to improve the winter schedule to make it more consistent and convenient for workers getting to and from their jobs, Rose said. Those refinements will provide increased service throughout the day on most outlying routes. Specifically, the 1lVest Vail South route will include continuous service every 20 minutes from 6 a.m. to 8:50 p.m. Last year, service was reduced to 40 minute intervals during mid-day. The V1/est Vail North route also will be simplified with continuous service every 15 minutes from 6 a.m. to 8:45 p.m. Last year, service was cut to 30 minutes during mid-day. One stop is being added to the ln/est Vail South eastbound route at the Cascade Crossing addition. Otherwise, routes will remain unchanged with service every 20 minutes during peak hours and 40 minute intervals during - evening hours. The East Vail Express route will increase to 10 minute intervals during rt~~h hours, up from 15 minute intervals last year. Peak hours are from 75 SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD VAIL, COLORADO 81657 (more) TELEPHONE 303-479-2100 WINTER BUS SYSTEM ADD 1 8 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Two stops are being added to the Golf Course route this year, with frequency remaining at 30 minute intervals. The new stops are at Hanson Ranch Road for outbound service and Vorlaufer for inbound service. The Sandstone route will remain unchanged with service every 20 minutes from 6:10 a.m. to 2:10 p.m. The in-town shuttle between Vail Village and Lionshead will maintain the same service as before with a frequency of every 7 to 10 minutes, Doster said. In all, 68 drivers will be needed to implement the increased service this year, up from 61 . drivers last season. "Our goal is to make it easier for locals and guests to get to and from their jobs and other activities without tying up peak hours of service," said Doster. °We're offering more frequent service all day long to encourage the use of transit rather than the automobile." Some 30,000 route maps are being printed and will be available for distribution early next month, Doster said. New additions to the 1994 winter map include a listing of useful information with tips ranging from lost and found inquiries to boarding procedures. The map also will include.a summer bus schedule. Riders this season can expect to participate in several surveys to help shape improvements for the following year, Doster said. The town's free bus system serves 3.2 million riders annually.

The bottom line consensus is that we can best solve pollution, parking and congestion problems by improvins the bus system. The Citizens for Transportation group is working hard to support the ballot tax for raising $3 million annually for Eagle County buses and network of bike and pedestrian paths. As I understand it, approximately 20% of the taxes collected will be from locals and 80°/0 from guests. In the first year, $600,000 will be allocated to the bus systems with $90,000 going to, reimburse Vail for it's down valley routes. Perhaps this $90,000 will help off-set the potential loss of parking revenues if and when you ease up on the parking fees. A crack down on the "parking turns" may reduce some of the short term parking and may encourage locals to use the bus rather than be caught for payment after the first free parking period (whether it is 1.5 hrs. or 2 hrs.) I support extending free parking at night (which will not adversely affect traffic), and believe the proposal for $1.00 short term parking is worth researching, although my informal polling results are opposed at a rate of 2 to 1. These are tough issues, but not as central to solving the problem as improving and expanding tl~e bus service. I applaud you for working to increase the current frequency of pick-ups to 10 minute intervals. I hope you will be able to add routes, as well. Thank you for your attention to my and other citizen concerns. Sincerely, Beth Slifer EWS:wp RE~ESVE® OCR ~ 2 199 . P.O. BOX 850 517 AIRPORT ROAD, NORTH RAMP EAGLE COUNTY EAGLE.

Box 2107 Grand Junction, CO 81502-2107 Dear John, This letter is in regards to several Town of Vail projects which involve CDOT right-of-waylproperty. The following is a breakdown of these issues: 1. Bald Mountain Underpass In a letter written to Ed Hill, November 18, 1992, the Town requested CDOT approval to. undertake several improvements to this area, based primarily on safety considerations. We did receive verbal approval, with the understanding that the Town of Vail would bear the expense and maintenance of these improvements. As of this date, no work has been done, and an update of our requests is in order. Initially, the Town was to abandon the current Bald Mountain bus stop and establish a new bus stop approximately 500 feet west of the underpass. Because of dangerous sight distance, road and traffic conditions, the Town still plans on " eliminating the Bald Mountain stop this winter, but will not establish a new stop as originally proposed. Town crews hope to enlarge the current eastbound bus stop located at the South Frontage Road and Aspen Lane, before the winter season is here. The elimination of the Bald Mountain bus stop results in pedestrians using the wooden walkway under the overpass. Approval was given to install snow guards on the I-70 overpass, at the Town's expense, We intend on installing the snow guards before winter season. We need to know if CDOT has any specifications available on snow guards. - LETTER TO JOHN SMITH October 11, 1993 Page 2 We would like to obtain CDOT approval to install several high pack lights to the underside of the overpass to improve the pedestrian and vehicular safety of the area. Installation and maintenance expenses will be the responsibility of the Town of Vail. Please provide the Town with any CDOT specifications regarding this type of illumination. 2. East Vail Parking Lot (EV Interchange) With the completion of the new East Vail Parking Lot, Town crews will eliminate parking at the "old" area and revegetate this area. In order to accomplish this, our crews will temporarily relocate the existing boulders to approximately 10' from the asphalt, to restrict vehicular access while the vegetation takes. No Parking signs will be installed. Motorists will be encouraged to use the new parking lot. The Town will maintain the lot this winter. Please inform us if there is any problems with this proposal. 3. East Vail Phone Booth We would like to complete the improvements scheduled to the EV phone booth area, located just north of the westbound ramps at the East Vail Interchange. The Town would like to place a 12 x 12 shelter at this site, which would incorporate the phone and additionally serve as a bus shelter for residents and a mini- information kiosk for travelers. The current gravel surface will be paved. It is our plan to provide lighting within the shelter for safety reasons. The only available electrical source in the area, however, is the CDOT street light. We would like to obtain your permission ~to obtain power from this street light to illuminate the inside of the shelter. 4. East Vail Irrigation Svstem The Town's desire is to convert - the manual valves to•automatic. The existing manual valves operate all of the overhead spray zones. New wires would have to be installed next to the existing mainline, along with new solenoids at each valve location. All sleeves crossing the roadways are sufficient to accommodate the new wiring. Electric controllers would have to be installed both north and south of the interchange. Upon your approval, we would like to connect these controllers to the CDOT street light. - ` LETTER TO MR. JOHN SMITH October 11, 1993 Page 3 As pointed out earlier, this letter provides you with an update of earlier requests and several new requests for approvals. The Town will install and maintain the improvements at our cost. We hope you agree with us, that these enhancements are needed and provide necessary pedestrian and vehicular safety protection. We look forward to receiving the requested information and necessary approvals. Your cooperation is appreciated, as time is running out to complete these projects this year. If you have any questions or desire additional information, please contact me directly at 479- 2160.

Frontage Rd, September 8, 1993 TO: TODD SCHOLL Fleet FR : Annie Fox cc: Mary Lawrence Safety Greg Hall Public Works Larry Grafel-- T.M. Susan Boyd/Lilian Circulation The Council has directed Greg and myself to come up with a plan for a library bookdrop outside the bus gates. There is no commitment to location and I believe Council would agree to a location staff thought most accessible. A book drop has received approval from Comm. Dev. on the Municipal Building site. Greg and I discussed the bookdrop and I gave him specs on what it would look like and weight carried. Logistics would be taking an empty bookdrop cart from the library aver to the bookdrop. The full bookdrop cart would then have to go to the library, where staff would empty the cart. Todd and I discussed options. I brought up to Todd the idea of a golf cart. He didn't think a golf cart would work. Greg brought up the idea of book bir:s, but from Sunday night 5:00 when the library closes to Monday 9:00 when it opens, there is 1001bs to 2001bs accumulation, (10 books weigh about 141bs, ave 1.4). On Labor Day when we were closed from Sunday night to Tues morning the accumulation was twice normal. We also discussed how a pickup could be modified to pick up materials from a book drop, and deliver them to the library. Todd indicated with the weight load (150-250 lbs) I was talking about, a tail gate lift should be part of the plan to avoid injuries. I am not sure how such a modification of a P.W. vehicle would affect it for other uses. . Greg was curious how other libraries handled the problem. For other libraries, they tend to have branch libraries and their own vans. The vans are used for service to senior citizens, prisons and other outreach services. Security and transfer of materials is a significant issue. Library staff must feel confident when asking the public to pay far a lost book or a large fine, that an item didn't slip through the cracks. People can be belligerent when they believe they have returned an item that records indicate has not been returned. Best defense is a confident staff. If a vehicle with a loader can be left at the library, staff will handle the book drop. If P.W. can spare no vehicles then unloading the bookdrop would be P.W. If P.W. has vehicles they use in the winter and not summer perhaps we could share responsibility. x A . C6~,c~e~l.

Mamet, Associate Director Date: October 4, 1993 Re: Municipal Implications of the Gallagher Amendment Introduction The purpose of this memorandum is to analyze further Section 3 (1)(b) of Article X of the Colorado Constitution, the so-called Gallagher Amendment (Amendment 1 of 1982), and its relationship to TABOR (Amendment 1 of 1992) and municipal finances generally. Sources for this memorandum come from the Office of State Auditor, Colorado Public Expenditures Council, Legislative Council, the state Division of Local Government, and CML research data. Background-General In 1982, voters approved a legislatively referred constitutional amendment which made a number of property assessment and taxation procedural changes. Prior to 1982, some counties undervalued property in order to receive additional state funding for schools. The state's School Finance Act at that time used the amount of money raised per mill per pupil as a factor in state support. A cornerstone of Amendment 1 of 1982 was to strengthen equalization, and discourage undervaluation, through penalties on counties which failed to meet specific standards. Of special municipal interest is the provision governing the method used to assess residential property vis-a-vis all other property classifications. This is the so-called Gallagher Amendment, named after its prime author, Sen. Dennis Gallagher (D, Denver). A further discussion of this aspect of Amendment 1 of 1982 follows. Background-Gallagher Amendment Before 1982, all property within the state was assessed at 30% of actual value. Between 1958 and 1982, the ratio of assessed residential property to all statewide assessed property increased from 29% to 44%, and this prompted legislative action leading up to the 1982 proposal. The residential assessment rate was reduced to 21 and the rate for all other property was reduced to 29% in the amendment. In addition, and of prime importance to this memorandum's discussion, the measure stipulated that after real and personal property is reassessed, the statewide proportionate share between residential and non-residential valuations on an annual basis shall remain the same, regardless of market value changes. The proportions are adjusted for increases in new construction and the net change in natural resource production volumes. In order to maintain this balance, therefiore, the 1993 residential rate has been set at 12.86°l° for assessment purposes. Thus, the intent ofi the amendment was to stabilize the tax burden for residential real property owners. Each year since the measure has been in effect, the residential rate has fallen. 1n actual value terms, residential property has risen from 54% to 64% between 1983 and 1992, and non-residential values have declined from 46% to 36% of the total mix. Under Gallagher, residential property accounted for about 45% of the property taxes paid in 1992,' and all other property classes accounted for the 55% remaining. lfi the Gallagher amendment were not in effect, and residential property remained fixed at the 1983 initial rate of 21 residential homeowners would be paying nearly $229 million in additional property taxes. Conversely, all other property taxpayers would be paying that much less. To summarize, here is the circumstance under Gallagher today: 1. Residential property constitutes 64% of the actual value of property, but pays 45 of the property taxes. 2. Commercial, industrial, agricultural and other non-residential property represerit 36% of the actual value of property in the state, but pay 55% of the property taxes. Therefore, it is clear the goal of Gallagher-to stabilize property taxes for homeowners-is \ clearly being met. However, the other policy question-at what price?-is on center stage at the present time. Gallagher Meets TABOR Prior to the adoption of TABOR, local governments were able to increase mill levies to generate the same amount of revenues from the prior year. Many units of local government would periodically adjust mill levies as result, in large part to compensate for declining assessed valuations. 2 - ~~~~e~EO pCT~~~ IIJ.il2~ 1 t • Colorado Municipal L®agu® ~ ®~AN ~ 1660 Lincoln Street, Suite 2100 Denver, Colorado 80264-2101 Phone (303) 831-6411 FAX (303) 860-8175 To: iVlemkiers, General iViunicipal Issues Committee Frg~t.

Conclusion Should this meeting summary raise any questions, please feel free to contact me. Attachment Gallagher, it can be argued, exacerbates this declining assessed valuation problem in the way properties are assessed, as explained above. Under TABOR, there are two critical issues: 1. Local governments can't raise mill levies without a vote, even when the increase generates the same amount of revenue. 2. The Gallagher residential assessment ratio can't be increased without a statewide vote. i~iunicipal Finance Implications The combination of Gallagher and TABOR affect individual local governments in direct proportion to their share of residential property. As the residential rate continues to decrease, lower assessments in many areas will either result in less revenue, or an election request to increase the mill levy. Schools, for example, are anticipated to lose 550.1 million in funding from property taxi;; because of the current 12.86% residential rate under Gallagher. At the municipal level at least 144 of the 267 cities and towns (or 54% of the municipalities) will experience an assessed valuation decline between 1993 and 1994. Fourteen are in double digit figures. Fifty-five are between 5% and 10%, with the rest (75) below 5%. The municipality experiencing the largest decline, at 32.4%, is the Town of Parachute. The municipality experiencing the greatest increase, at 173.6%, is the Territorial Charter City of Black Hawk. If you assume a 1992 average municipal property tax mill levy of 8 mills, the direct revenue loss is at least 52,607,199. Overall, 37 counties will have assessed valuation increases, and 26 will post declines. Our analysis of assessed valuation data within cities and towns shows that between 1987 and 1991 there has been a gradual decline, and whether this continues into the future remains an open question. Several municipalities are holding mill levy increase elections this November. The municipal portion of the property tax, as a percentage levied by all units of local government, is 5 in 1992 (excluding Denver, which as a City and County constitutes 6% of the total). 3 Implications The interplay between Gallagher and TABOR is numerous, and has many implications, prime among them is future stable funding for the state's School Finance Act: Municipalities are not property tax dependent overall, but as the fiscal vise of TABOR continues to turn, cities and towns, especially those without a strong retail sales tax base, may look more towards this tax source in the future. Solutions to the emerging problem are politically difficult, and most will be subject to a statewide vote. Voters are unlikely to repeal outright a major homeowner tax break. It has been suggested that the residential rate be frozen at its current level. It has also been suggested that the Gallagher amendment be repealed and replaced with a homestead - exemption. - Last year, a proposal was floated by House Majority Leader Tim Foster to substantially modify Gallagher. Included in this proposal was a constitutional limitation on local government fees. Another idea is to authorize local governments to allow their mill levy to float in order to capture the same amount of revenue from the previous year. This is capturing some attention among school district interests. It is unclear a_t this point what direction, if any, the legislature's Interim Tax Policy Committee will go on this one. It will also be interesting to see how well local governments do this November in asking voters to increase milt levies, especially school districts, because of the Gallagher-TABOR interplay. Conclusion While it may be premature for the League to take a definitive position on this issue at the present time, it is hoped that the contents of this memorandum shed further light on the Gallagher-TABOR relationship and how this may affect municipal finance, now and in the future. , 4 HwLµOty ^n rwl t l0' IO~g7 T / I ~~t~~s t®: decide whether t® keep surplus tax rave f I , I pt~l~ ~ I; :Hy~JudltM1 Brimberg _ ;Douglas Bruce's Amendment 1. to grow the a wdl be more need [or yet And city ofbm l saytfiey don t exceed that asp o[ttmalslm Houlder enA'Je11rey A: Roberts - Governments are asking to keepeil pubhc impr ve ants ".said Bi'oom- expect td capture voters attenttoh ud Gland le d Greenwood Village can' I ~ Denser coal sees wman the money they collect from existing freld spokeswoman Roseann Doran, td the latter part f flu month ben rook a c se that th y e m tune with" ~ ` Proposals to "de-Hruce"' govern- to:es in cities where sales-laz collec- whose city ;is one o[ those trying to es- the electron will be close~ebAadd. vote ntlmehNRes dents I ell three i invent'budgets are on ~ the ballot in (ions have soared, where there's step- cape the strictures f the constitution Amendment ~1 added to'thlf Colors cities opposed Amendment 1 a~yesr . ~ ~ eight Iaetre-area ci6 , a d towns this pad-up residential development and al amendme t . ~ ~ do Constitution m last years election, ago, in B uld r by a resoundttig P'+ I:~ tall.: ~ where business development is antics- E cep(: for Amendment, 1 author .limtts annual g vernmerit~ spending' perce t ~ S t \,i: "''T6af mess ~votere °will decide gated And in most cases, they want to Bruce. whose n. ~s being used to ~inueases tq the Wlahod - ate plus a But officials in ench miles. es pur i whether to lift barriers on govern- keep it forever. ~ ~ cha tenze the ballot questions, or- growth factor" ' ~4 9 ~t ment.speriding imposed by taz rebel "The concern is that as we continue gamed opposttton', hasn't surfaced In asking to ape d taz revenues that '`_Plense see 7A%on 6G'~'~ Easy®~®rn~rg fire ~farnae~" ®~ar Vast apartment ~®rr~pBe~ By Scott Taylor ~ ~ ~4, n°IN 51an WMr ~ t 4'y ~ An early rooming blaze. drove dozens of Solar Vail residm6 from d ~ ~ dle'v aparmlents 76esday.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 October 5, 1993 Dear Mr. Grafel: As a homeowner in the Vail Ridge Subdivision I would like to share some of my co:,cerns regarding the proposed development of Trapper's Ridge. Gateway Development is proposing to enter the property via access from Arosa, Davos Trail and Cortina Lane. The streets in this neighborhood can not handle any more traffic, as we already experience many problems in the winter. The street I live on is down to a one lane road many times during heavy snowfall. There are also no sidewalks anywhere and I do not feel safe for our children walking to the busstop. Increasing traffic will just worsen the already dangerous situation. With Trapper's Ridge being; one of the last large undeveloped parcel in the Town of Vail, this property is being used heavily by hikers and bikers and is home .for much of our wildlife. Over the last few month we all have heard much critic on the Spraddle Creek Development. I am sure the proposed Development on Trapper's Ridge would impact the overall picture of our town even more since we would be loosing much of old-pine forest and the proposed density is much higher. I hope the Town of Vail can buy this property so that the guests and residence of our town can keep enjoying this beautiful parcel of land.

As I understand it, your basic frustration seems to center around not being able to leave the Library with all the materials you wish. Perhaps it will help to clarify things if I take this opportunity to review our lending philosophy with you. The Vail Public Library is funded by municipal dollars and materials are Town of Vail property. You are welcome to use the materials inhouse at your leisure, but once you leave the library with Town of Vail property, a commitment to the community is required. We have different memberships to accommodate the diverse population that visit or come to stay in Vail. Not .all of these memberships require a Colorado Driver's License. Typically, we receive 15 to 20 requests for membership per day, which we verify. As part of our ongoing review and analysis of membership policy, we track computer records .of materials losses by borrower type. We find that most losses are traceable to "Newcomers", i.e. cardholders who have lived in the area less than six months. Because of the high replacement cost of the materials we lend the value of one video and two books easily reaches $75.00 our new card holders have a limit of three items. Additionally, the three item limit helps to leave on the shelves sufficient numbers of titles users want. For example, if three items are taken from the bartending, resume-writing, tenants rights or travel collection, there will still be materials on the shelf whereas a ten-item limit would eliminate some subject areas entirely. Perhaps you are not aware that the Vail Public Library is not your home library. As a Minturn resident, the tax dollars you give to support library service go to the Eagle Co. Library District which is completely separate from the Vail Library. The upcoming election in . November will have a bond issue on lower valley libraries. You might want to let people know how much you use the library and which services you would appreciate having at your home library. Please call if you have any additional questions. Si~n~fcerely, /V lvy't,iP Annie Fox Library Director cc: Lilian Osorio-Meyer, Memberships Larry Grafel- Acting Town Manager Vail Town Council September 29, 1993 ~~CEII/~D ~ : ~ i99~ Laura Robinson P.O. Box 1025. Minturn, CO 51645 Vail Town Council 75 S. Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 REe Vail Public Library To Whom It May Concern: I am writing because I believe that at least the following two policies of the Vail Public Library are unnecessary inconveniences: 1. requirement of lease or Eagle County Driver's license as proof of residence 2. requirement that a person must have his or her library card for more than six months before he or she is allowed to check out more than three books 1. A Colorado Driver's License and a legitimate local street address should be adequate for a library card. I moved to the Vail Valley 'in November, 1992. I attempted to get a Vail library card, but was denied because a Boulder driver's license and local Vail street address were not good enough. Because of my unique living situation, I do not have a lease. I eventually was able to replace my driver's license, and then I went back to get the card. I'm not sure what the Library's goal is by this requirement. I imagine that it is to prevent the transient population from getting library cards, thereby protecting the local taxpayers' money. If this is the case, I question its validity and effectiveness. I doubt that there is a larae number of people who want library cards who live here for less .than six months, and, even if they do, I think they deserve, and / or should have the right, to have one. P,n expiration date on the cards may be a more effective solution for whatever problem the library is trying to correct, or for whatever interest it is trying to protect. Has Vail Public Library forgotten that it is supposed to be a PYJBY,YC library? ' I . 2.. The requirement that a person have a card for more than six months before he or she is allowed to check out more than three books is absolutely ridiculous. When I finally received my card, I was under the impression I would be able to use it. Instead, I spent time finding research material for something I am working on a total of only seven books and was then informed that I could check out only three at a time. I was also informed that it ' would 1°be o.k. You only have three more weeks to go until you°ve had the card for six months.1° . I believe a public library should be for public use and should do what it can to be convenient and helpful to its patrons, while balancing the tax payers' interests at the same time. Ever since I came in contact with the Vail Public Library it has been nothing but an inflexible inconvenience. The people have been friendly and . the Library is beautiful, but what good are these assets if a person can't use the Library for its express purpose checking out books? Please give this matter your attention. Sincerely, Laura K. Robinson Vail Valley Resident cc: Annie Fox Director, Vail Public Library ~~~0. ~ uuF~QtG~' i our c~,,, h~ w ar o, ~l (~al~GGchu[c~fnr~t~,aGa~4;4 l~-Oct-93 U/~ Prom o Alauri ATottingham Rif o. ogle County solid Waste Proposal ~ A proposal currently.being considered by the Eagle County government will make serious changes in the current county .recycling programo The changes will not be.for the bettero %n facts the changes will be for the worse ,.ffiuch worsen ' This proposalo by an.independent companyo involves. building a facility in which PAL solid waste generated within the county will be deposited (by trash haulers) on a tipping flooro The waste will then be moved to ~ conveyor. belt from which applianceso batteries, aluminium cans and some corrugated cardboard will be removedm The remainder of the waste will be ground or pulverized into small bitso This smaller material will be either made into compost or landfigled depending on its compositiono The purpose of :this process i~ to primarily reduce the VOLtJPSE of materials going to the landf ill o . There are many undesirable attributes of this processo (1).l~o paper products will be retrieved or recycled ezcept. . uncomtaminated corrugated cardboardo The other paper products will be ground up with the ordinary trasho This includes: high grade office paper, magazines and newsprinto X11 of which are currently recycledo almost 3701 of the typical waste stream is papero . (2.) RTo glass will be removed or recycledo Glass containers are'. currently being recycled> Glass is 907 of the waste streamo (3) ~To plastics will removed ar recycledo Plastics are 7o2~s of the waste streamo Recycling drop-off points within the county will be removed and recycling will not ezist at this levelo (S) The recycling centers in Vail end Wolcott will be closede Recycling in the county will be virtually eliminated because it will conflict.with the above processo Composting is not recyclinge Composting, the major element of this proposal, is a valid procedure in treating solid waste which contain no major recyclable materials but is not appropriate as the sole method in dealing with a waste streamo A flow-control ordinance will have to be initiated at the county level to guarantee a sizable waste stream to generate tipping feeso These tipping fees are collected by the processor to operate the facilityo This operator is a private business operating for a prof it margins henceo recycling will not be accomplished because recycling is not profitable at this time and will not be for the forseeable future e ~1~ fln~-~Qflt~al a~di~~~ce a©~ld ~iase fay-~each~.ng consequences. Example, it is possible that no one map be permitted to take their own recyclables to Summit County. City Market, Safeway and Walmart map not. be able to collect and market their own cardboard as they are now doing. There is no argument that volumes of waste taken to the landf ill need to be reduced. It map be argued that grinding of undesirable waste is a ligitmate procedure but NOT before all possible recyclables are removed. It is a costly process but far environmental reasons, the citizens of Eagle County should be willing to pay the price. This proposal is under serious consideration and is being moved along rather quickly. To my knowledge, the general public is not pet aware of the proposal. x e : Cac~~-e- ~ G . - and da . Y If you're concerned about mobility, transportation or air quality, you need to know about ISTEA (the _ Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act)... and answers to questions like these: • What opportunities does ISTEA offer? • What issues does ISTEA raise? • How are my organization's interests affected? • Who are the key players in ISTEA decision-making and funding? The answers may surprise you, because regional planning for transportation, mobility and air quality isn't what it used to be--and the difference is like night and day.

Vail, CO 81657 Dear Commissioners: I have thought very carefully about my feelings regarding the possible development of Trappers Run. On the one hand, I have many ties to the Vail real estate community, and I strongly favor individual property owners' rights. On the other hand, I walk, bike and snowshoe frequently through the forest that would be destroyed, and I appreciate the Vail Ridge neighborhood, which I feel would be very negatively altered by this project. My conclusion is that neither respect for the real estate and development community nor a strong belief in property owners' rights are reasons to support this subdivision and development. Nor can they justify the major negative impacts this particular project would impose on our neighborhood, the town and especially the environment. Here's why: I respect Vail's real estate and development community because of its high standards. As we reach build-out, it's important to keep our standards higher than ever, and that doesn't mean simply building expensive houses. It also means not destroying the environment. Due to its steepness, its dense vegetation, and its location in critical wildlife migration corridors, it's always been obvious that the hillside property proposed for the Trappers Run subdivision is very difficult and sensitive from a development point of view. Otherwise, it would have been developed by now. Perhaps real estate prices finally have skyrocketed enough to make pursuing it potentially profitable. That doesn't mean it's a good idea. Just because these developers are willing to go to any lengths to make this work, that doesn't mean the rest of us should. They may be willing to fill in a creek; build houses and create 30-foot road cuts and 25-foot road fills in unstable soils; destroy numerous huge trees; intrude into and fence wildlife out of Forest Service land; and move wildlife fences in a way their own environmental report states "has the potential to interrupt some of the deer movements during the fall and spring/summer migrations." Just because for them all this effort is financially viable in today's market, that doesn't mean it's also worth the high price the community and environment are being asked to pay. Regarding the issue of property owners' rights, I think they end when they encroach upon those of the neighbors and general public. That is why the town has design controls, height limitations, landscape guidelines, leash laws and noise ordinances. In our opposition to this project, I and other members of the existing neighborhood are not trying to selfishly shut the door on the rest of the world, now that we're in. We are opposing someone who wants to intrude on us by doing something drastically different. We are opposing the moving of our road; years of sound and dust pollution; a tremendous ugly visual impact; loss of our neighborhood's only traffic-free walking path; destruction of one of the valley's most beautiful natural recreation areas; loss of many mature trees; and displacement of wildlife, including deer, bears, porcupines, bobcats and birds. P.O. Box 3069 Vail, Colorado 81658 3031476-3431 f Another impact this relatively high-priced subdivision would have on the existing local neighborhood would be a rise in property taxes. This could even drive out some long- time locals and exacerbate the affordable housing problem for people living and working in Mail. ~ therefore urge you to oppose the subdivision and any development whatsoever of Trappers Run, and to consider purchasing it as open space. Please don't sacrifice one of the valley's most beautiful forested hillsides and our neighborhood to the heavy impacts of this project. Thank you, . IVlaro Lorimer 2537 Arosa Drive P.O.

MAIL, COL( ~ U~~ 303-479-9214 October 13, 1993 ~tw' ~r Ms. Kristin Pritz Department of Community Development Town of Vail Vail, Colorado Dear Kristin, I am writing to express concerns and preferences about the removal of the bus stop at the end of my road, BALD MOUNTAIN RD> There are many of us who utilize the bus stop. I often see people standing at the bus stop and walking to the various homes and condos from the bus stop. There are several families who have school age children who use this bus stop. My own daughter who is 16 and lives with me part time often rides the bus. I have had to drive to the bus stop at the Mountain school to pick her up at night when the bus drivers in the past will not stop at Bald Mountain. It is too far ~to walk from the Mountain School and up the hill to Bald Mountain Rd. in our often sub-zero temperatures in the winter. It also'is not safe for young children to be crossing over the Aspen Lane on a curve where people drive faster than is safe. Many residents have purchased or rented here with the idea of the convenience of the bus. If this stop is removed there are many who will not use the bus because it is no longer convenient or safe. The town has a policy of encouraging bus ridership. I feel that removing this stop will have the opposite effect, by making riding the bus so inconvenience. Parents will not feel it is safe for their children to walk long distances or to cross Frontage Rd. at a dangerous point. As a former member of the planning commission, I realize there are some concerns about the safety of this stop. Rather than eliminated the stop, I think the town would be wise to address and correct the safety concerns. This would best serve the citizens who are paying for the bus service through their taxes. I understand there is no longer a Par 3 golf course planned, so it appears there should be adequate land and space to develop a safe turn around and bus stop. Sincerely ~ ~ ~ - Gena Whitten • ~ ~ S.
