Attached please find the response to "the T'rappe:, Run~Preliminary Plan Submittal . and Environmental Impact Report produced by the Save Open Space-Defend Davos . " group of West Vail. Our group represents the 109 petition signers living in West . Va~1 and the larger group of 739 signers calling for the Town of Vail to purchase the T.a.t,yers.Run parcel and dedicate it as open space. " . - ,Our group of concerned neighbors has attended two presentations made by the developer, participated in the walking tour of the site conducted by PEC .and has ' . ~ reviewed and discussed the preliminary 'plan 'and EIR for many hours. However, " ~ after this extensive consideration our position has not changed from when we first learned of the developer's plans. We do not want the Trappers.Run project ' developed.. Vde do not want any version of the project developed We do not want any homes developed on the site.. And regardless of whether this developer tries to '..move forward, we will oppose any future att:,...yt to develop the site: This area . ' must be open space and only open space: ~ , .The attached comments relating to the developers' plan should not be ~ ~ - - misint;,,Y.~ted. The concerns e,.~,.~ssed are not intended to be points for negotiation. They are instead intended to illustrate that the.extent of insurmountable - - t problems facing. any attempt to develop the Trappers Run area should stop any such eff.,. There is no acceptable access to the site. There is no acceptable nutigation. for wildlife impact. There is no acceptable number of trees to be cut. The only ` . acceptable option is open: space. - ~ ~ . Thy; visual, recreational and environmental benefits this area provides the Town and . . the entire valley are too compelling to give'serious consideration to-any other alternative. - ~Ve thank you for the opportunities you have given our group,to participate in the ~ process and most importantly, for listening to our concerns. Our. commitment to . see the Trappers Run~parcel purchased as open space arises fi~:u our conviction -that this treasure in the Towri's backyaid should never be tarnished. ` Thank you, ~ , _ : ~ , SAVE OPEh1 SPACE Drr~ND DAVOS . ~ ~ . ~ - " ~ Porter Wharton III ~ Bob Armour - Kenf Rose. ~ . cc: Planning and Environmental Commissioners and~Staff ' ~ ~ Vail Town Council ~ ' , ~ ~ ~ ~ ' - - - - ~ - , - , . - '~gapp~gs dun . ~~sp®ns~ t® ittal - . . ~ ~~eliminary al ~.mPa~t ~t.ep~rt - ~ - e~ ~pac~ ~~~en . ~ air ~ ®p _ ~ - - - ~ ~r 19 9 ~9~~ , ~ ~ - . .

The high proportion of seasonal homebuyers anticipated at Trappers-Run is not in keeping with the.West Vail neighborhood which is almost entirely full-time residents. 2. The.report seems to downplay the expected home size versus what is the maximum allowable. ~ ~ t 3. On what assumptions are Exhibits 1. and 2 based. How were these numbers chosen? 4. The rise in property taxes caused by this development is a major concern to the entire ' neighborhood. 5: The cost of Town of Vail services cited by the developer is fixed, but in reality these , costs will undoubtedly rise over the five- to- 10 year build-out period. This rise in costs is not acknowledged and factored in to the calculations. 6. Fire and police response time was not addressed. The roads are steep and north-facing and the proposed development itself is at the farthest point from existing services. VFD - , Chief states current response time to west'Vail is 20 minutes. . 7: The developer should provide proof that the Vail Fire Department approves of. the development's steep roads, switchbacks and cul-de-sacs. ~ . .8. The Public Service expenses seem low due to the north-facing slopes. 9. The Exhibit' 6. Town Income RETT figures are confusing., For example, year four. ® shows no units sold yet produces a,$30,000 gross RETT receipt to the town. ® 10. VEIe question the validity of the developer's sumiriary showing a net gain to the community of $32,000 per. yeaz. But even if this is true, with all of the negative impacts of this development, is $32,000 per year worth it ? 11. Exhibit 11 shows $3,627/unit/yr in tax revenue generation. The summary on page 12 _ shows $3,267/unit/yr. 12.On what aze all of the assumptions in this report based?~ . ' . >(Vo 'II'1<tAIFIFgC ><l~IiPAC'II' ~TUD~' . 1. On what ai~e these numbers based ?Overall, the numbers seem very low. The studies cited are old. There is no indication that the studies cited_have any relevance to mountain • communities. • 2. We counxed 623 cazs in a half hour looking only at the north side of the four -way stop. . This was anoff-season weekday. 3. The traffic consultan~ s study was done the day after Labor Day (one of the slowest days of the year) and apparently only looked at the. fora-way stop on the north side of the - highway. The enure interchange area will be impacted. 4. There are appazent, discrepancies with the Felsburg Holt &Ullebig study. 5. The consultant's proposed solution of adding turn lanes would add to the confusion at the ® West Vail interchange. Also, source of funds for this project is not identified. Will the - developer pay for., or escrow a share to improve traffic flow per the Felsburg Holt & Ullebig study? 6. Our neighborhood strongly disagrees with the consultant's assertions that the proposed Arosa access would "...not impact the existing residences," and that, ..impacts to existing residences would be minor." These conclusions seem to indicate a complete lack of understanding and,sensitivity for our neighborhood. 7. On page four, an 8.8% grade is mentioned versus the 8.9% requested in the vaziance. 8. Driveways on Arosa aze a concern.. 2648 may be too steep, as proposed and 2668 would require a CDOT access pemut. ' 9. The number of cazetaker units cited seems low. Also, different consultant studies in this plan :use different numbers. - 10: The traffic study uses 29 residences in the proposed development versus the 30 units . identified elsewhere. 11. The opportunity cited on page four, .paragraph four to reduce a section of steep grade on existing Arosa Drive," is in reality only replacing one bad grade road with another having only a slightly better one. ~ ~ . . ~ 12. The standard traffic generation characteristics cited are not tied to Colorado or Vail._ What would the impacts be if they were? ~ . 13. Seasonal avoidance of Arosa due to road conditions is not taken into account in the ' ~ ~ ~ study.. 14. The consultant does not take into account the likelihood that seasonal homes will be rented out frequently; which in turn increases traffic counts. The consultant also needs to - identify and discuss the impact of 100% occupancy during peak winter times. - 15. There is no transit service to the proposed development. Skiers and children would have . - to .walk a mile on a shady, snowpacked road to catch a bus. That won't likely happen.. - 16. The.impact during development is not addressed. How many construction- related - vehicles will be in and out of the neighborhood? What types of vehicles will be used, - over what period? How will construction-related trash clean-up be addressed? What percent of construction vehicles will use Cortina Lane and Davos Trail.? 17. We do not agree that the increase in traffic will only be 3%. There could reasonable be 2+ ' cars per unit and 2+ cars per caretaker unit. If it is possible that impacts will be greater, will the town require the developer to escrow sufficient funds to pay for necessary road and intersection improvements. . 18. Due to the steep grades and non-experienced, non-residential drivers, accidents in the subdivision are likely. ~ - - ~ 19. If the developer now prefers Cortina Lane as the access for the subdivision, he should be required.to complete traffic study on dais alternative. The West Vail neighborhood feels ' this alternative is totally unacceptable. The roads were not designed for heavy use acid . weather problems exist with the steep grades on Cortina and the Arosa/Davos intersection:-Rental cars and inexpenenced drivers would make dangerous additions. . 20. There is mention of procedural traffic controls as a possible aid.in lessening any traffic ' problems but the controls are not defined nor what they cost. 21. Based on experience this past summer with construction traffic iri the West Vail neighborhood, there should be speed controls iri place for any construction. The developer has not considered safety issues.. - - - V. AgllB ~IIAL1<TY 1. Construction Impacts section notes that ,"(due to the) relatively short duration of the construction activities, the impact of the dust on the ambient air quality is likely to be minimal." This seems to be in contradiction with the build-out phase estimated at five to - . 10 years. 2. Impacts of construction will affect all of the West Vail neighborhood, especially if Cortina'Lane is used. 3. Traffic and Road Sanding on page 2. Much of the development's road system is north facing and shaded so a great amount of sanding will be necessary. 4. More detail is needed on mitigation and the watering plan. , ® ~ 5. Construction activity will pull mud onto Cortina Lane and .the north frontage road will ' result in dust and no provisions have been made for clean-up. ~ 6. Table 1.0 does not address-Valley air quality as the study is limited to:1.0 miles on subdivision roads. V)I. ~IA'll'E][~ ][Z]E:S®QJI[~CIES ~ - . -1`. What will the impact to Gore Creek and fishing in the area be from alteiing the flow of ' the stream? - 2. No matter how small the creek is;~it should not be filled in. - - 3. The developer should. identify how many trees will need to be cut due to all roadway cut and fill,- the locations of drainage swales, curb inlets, storm drain pipes, sedimentation ~ - ponds, water lines, sewer lines, storage tanks, etc., which are not shown on this plan. 4.. Can an increase in discharge fi~~, the creek be expected once development is completed? 5. The impact of significantly fewer trees on the run-off should be 'identified. V][Il. VIEGE'g'A'1C"IC~1~1 1. What is the definition of "large" trees? This seems to be something the developer wants left up to.his discretion. - ~ - - 2. The developer needs to identify exactly what will be used in the re-vegetation program: ® Anything, including weeds, would be acceptable..under the study as it now reads. One suggestion made by the consultant is bluegrass which is not native vegetation. 3. Is the total area of construction being considered by this study, including: excavation piles, forms, parking area for construction .equipment, OSHA excavation requirements, ' etc.? - 4. Exactly how many trees will be lost? We want an exact count. Representatives of our - group have counted 25~ green trees on the site. This study only says that trees and tall shrubs-should be avoided, "...whenever possible." This is not good enough: All trees ` taken out should be replaced with trees of equal-size. 5. Tiered road'cuts typically mean :the loss of more trees. The developer should quantify the impact and show actual construction limits required to meet OSHA safety regulations. 6. Several threatened and endangered species are noted as having the -possibility of living in. the area. The developer should determine whether they are~there or not. Did the developer's consultant visit the site or just-pull this report out of a file? - . 7. The developer needs to be iequired to show simulated road cuts and residential lots nunus - ~ the vegetation around the houses so the ;actual vegetation loss can be analyzed. S. The proposed open space within the subdivision is almost entirely unusable space - hillsides too steep for development, backfill areas, etc. 9'.

The Community Development Department is in the process of developing a Comprehensive Open Lands Plan for the Town of Vail. The primary purpose o.f this plan is to identify remaining open lands in Vail and determine if they have value for environmental protection, recreation, or trails. At the November 9th Town Council meeting, Town staff presented recommendations for protecting open land and improving trails. As part of the presentation on the trails portion of the plan, the pros and cons of the streamwalk were discussed. After considering both the pros and cons of the streamwalk the Vail Town Council decided to not include the streamwalk in the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. ~pc~ae~, , w cc~etc, ~z.. lUo r..~-n.~~ , ~?~~~.r~"d., If you have a y question regar ng this plan, please contact Russ Forr st at 479-2138.

Although daytime fees will remain unchanged from last year, the town will offer something new this season: expanded free evening parking to encourage shopping and dining. The experimental program will allow three hours of free parking for those entering the structures between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. daily. That's up from 90 minutes of free parking offered throughout the remainder of the day. Here's how it works: If you enter at 6:01 p.m., you'll have free parking until 9:01 p.m. Enter at 8 p.m.; park for free until 11 p.m. Or, enter at 8:59 p.m. and . receive free parking until 11:59 p.m. But, if you enter at 9:01 p.m. or after, the system will automatically revert back to the 90 minute schedule. . Also, if you enter between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., but remain beyond the three hour limit, you'll need to pay a minimum of ~3 to exit. (more) i Evening Parking/Add 1 The evening parking plan was created this year to accommodate concerns from restaurant owners and other merchants who said they were losing business to other areas because customers didn't want to pay to park. Although the new plan will create a shortfall in parking structure revenues, merchants who lobbied for ithe change say the town will recover the deficit through higher sales tax revenues. Transportation Manager Mike Rose said his staff will monitor the program closely this season to determine the plan's effectiveness. Because the parking structures are being operated as enterprise funds, they can be subsidized only up to 10 percent with other town revenues, Rose said. The parking fee schedule will continue through April 18, 1994. For additional questions about the program, contact Rose at 479-2178. # # # ,Evening.

They expect to have approximately 8 to 25 people demonstrating in front of a few of our local fur shops. The organizer of this group is a person by the name of Dave Crawford. He lives in Netherland, Colorado and can be reached at 258-7126. I met with him this past week and discussed some of the details. surrounding the demonstration. Crawford told me most likely there will be only 8 to 10 people demonstrating in front of the fur shops. He identified the three shops as being Designer Fur, Affinity, and Hillis. The time of the demonstration will be between 1000 hours and 1700 hours. Crawford told me some of the group members will be wearing fur with what appears to be blood on the fur itself. The will also be carrying posters and handing out pamphlets. Crawford also met with Shelly Mello of Community Development. They reviewed the Town of Vail maps and Crawford was told of the various restrictions he needed to abide by in order to be considered a lawful assembly. Those instructions are as follows; at Designer Fur, located at Bridge and Gore, he must be six feet off the face of the building. At Affinity, located just across the covered bridge, he must not be on the steps and must remain in the street. At the Hillis location, on Gore Creek Dr., he must remain in the street, eight feet from the northeast corner of the building, and not be on the sidewalk. ' I discussed with Crawford the handing out of pamphlets. I told him . he could hand out pamphlets only if the people were willing to accept them. He was told he could not post the pamphlets on public or private property. The local fur shops involved have been notified and are aware of the concerns. They will call us if they have any problems on that particular day. I have also requested information from the CU , Police Department and the Boulder Police Department to see if they have had any contact with this particular group. As of this date, I have not received a response from them. Lt. Layman has asked that Officers Applegate and Stoney be available in plain clothes that day, so they can mingle-with the crowd in order to anticipate any problems that may occur. As more information develops, I will pass this along to you.

Any five (5) registered electors may commence referendum proceedings by filing with the Town Clerk an affidavit stating they will constitute the petitioners' committee and be responsible for circulating the petition and filing it in proper form stating their names and addresses and specifying the addresses to which all notices to the committee are to' be sent and setting out in full the proposed initiative ordinance or signing the ordinance sought to be reconsidered. . It is my understanding that you are considering a referendum~petition concerning the ordinances in regard to the Golden Peak House and the Vail Athletic Club. Those ordinances were adopted by the Council on November 2,1993. Therefore, the referendum petitions must be filed within thirty (30) days after that date to be reconsidered. The referendum petitions must be signed by registered electors of the Town equal in number J > I I ' Jim Lamont November 22, 1993 Page 2 to at least ten percent (10%} of the total number of electors registered to vote at the last regular municipal election. That number is 289. I Once the referendum petition has been finally determined to be sufficient, the Council shall properly reconsider the referred ordinance by voting its repeal. The repeal of any referred ordinance may be affected only by athree-fourths (3/4) majority vote of the entire Council. The Charter provides for the vote of the Town on a referred ordinance shall be held not less than thirty (30) days and not later than ninety (90) days from the date of the final Council vote thereon. It will be necessary to determine whether or not such an election can be conducted in light of the requirements of Amendment One. I hope this information is helpful to you. There are additional requirements concerning the circulation of the petitions, their form and content, and the affidavit of the circulator. These specific requirements will be discussed further at the time such petitions are issued. Very truly yours, y~~z,~ R.

Phone # ~ ~ 9-ago ~ IFax # So~7 ~ .~~~6 Fax # / 7 ~ ' a Mr. Jim Lamont Box 1387 Vail, Colorado 81658 Dear Jim: On November 23, 1993, you presented to the Town Clerk two documents titled, "Petitioners' Committee Affidavit." The documents fail to meet the requirements of Article V, Section 5.2 of the Charter of the Town of Vail. Until the requirements are met, the Town Clerk has no authority to issue the appropriate petition blanks to the petitioners' committee. It is required that the proceedings be commenced by the filing of an "affidavit." The documents that you submitted do not meet the requirements of an affidavit. It is also required that the documents state that the individuals identifying themselves will constitute the petitioners' committee. That language is not included within the documents filed. The documents filed did not include the ordinances sought to be reconsidered as required by Section 5.2. In the past, petitioners' committees have identified an individual and an address for receiving notices to the committee. Until documents meeting all of the requirements of the Charter are filed with the Town Clerk, she has no authority to issue the apppoppriate petition blanks. Yours truly, l~ ~ R.
