Avon/Beaver Creek Transit
1993 Revoew
Regional Bus system Breaks Records
With final numbers of 1993 just now coming together, the Town of Avon, which .
operates Avon/Beaver Creek Transit, proudly confirms it was a record breaking year.
"We experienced such astonishing growth in 1993," says A/BCT Director Harry
Taylor, "that we are scrambling to meet the demands of our new passengers. It's
definitely a problem we can't complain about."
Taylor said the total 1993 A/BCT ridership jumped 23% over 1992. The three
routes that charge a fare also had a ridership increase of 23%. Revenues for these
routes climbed 19%. The three routes charging a fare are the Edwards/Nail route via
Highway 6, the Leadville/Avon route and the Beaver CreekNail route via I-70. "Routes
within Avon and Beaver Creek do not charge a fare because the Avon Town Council
and Beaver Creek Resort Company pay 100% of the costs of those routes," Taylor
explained.
Avon/Beaver Creek Transit, the regional bus system serving Avon, Arrowhead,
Beaver Creek, Eagle-Vail, Edwards, Leadville, Minturn and Vail has been operated by
the Town of Avon since 1990. Every year Avon has managed the system, ridership has
increased steadily. But nothing like the records of 1993.
Operations Supervisor Greg Tracey says that several years of hard work are
starting to pay off. "For the past three years, we have conducted extensive research to
determine where to expand our service. With this information, we've made several
calculated improvements to the system that have provided amazing growth." Tracey
specifically mentioned the late-night service on the Edwards/Nail route via Highway 6.

"The service to that route used to stop at 10:30 p.m. Now it stops at 2:30 a.m. This extra
4 hours of service has accounted for such a ridership increase, that now about 25% of
the ridership for that route comes between 10 and 2 a.m." Tracy noted another reason
for the high ridership along this route is its service to many communities. The route
serves Avon, Arrowhead, Beaver Creek, Eagle-Vail, Edwards and Vail.
Marketing Specialist Teresa Albertson also noted some of the marketing efforts
that are affecting ridership. "In 1992 the ridership coming down from Leadville was
dropping significantly. We were even considering eliminating the route because of the
poor ridership support. But instead, we increased our marketing efforts which included
a push to area employers who buy bus tickets for their Leadville employees and
establishing a ticket outlet in Leadville at the Lake County Food Town. In 1993, the
ridership climbed so much that now we are considering increasing service to the
route."
Several administrative changes have also made a positive effect on the
ridership and revenues, according to Taylor. "Perhaps the most important factor
affecting our increased ridership is our consistancy and reliability we have
established. Our buses follow the scheduled times for stops much better than in the
years before the Town of Avon operatedthe system: This has developed a strong
reliability link with our passengers.
"We have also been painting all of our vehicles with the same color scheme to
bring some continuity to the system. When we were operating blue, brown and white
vehicles, passengers didn't realize they were all working in our system. Now, with
mostly white buses with a red stripe, passengers know the bus coming toward them is
one of ours. We only have a few brown buses left to repaint.
"We also installed fare boxes into all of our vehicles operating on the revenue
routes. These help speed uF the loading of passengers, which help keep the buses on
schedule. The boxes have also added a new level of security to our revenue.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development
DATE: January 18, 1994
SUBJECT: Schmetzko Rezoning
On February 22, 1993, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) voted 5-2
recommending approval of a rezoning request for the Schmetzko property. At that hearing,
the PEC also approved a minor subdivision and a wall height variance for this property. The
attached PEC memo and minutes from this hearing explain the request in more detail. Below,
staff has identified the significant issues that were discussed during the PEC review.
A. Description of Future Development.
Under the proposed LDMF zoning, the applicant is intending to construction nine
townhouses. Seven of these townhouses will be free market units and two of them will
be Restricted Type III Employee Housing units. The applicant has shown the layout of
this development on a site plan, which includes other key elements of the proposal,
such as, the driveway (not exceeding 8% slope), the fire truck turn around, the parking
layout, the preservation of the existing vegetation, as well as the proposed debris flow
catch basin. The site plan will be recorded at the County Clerk and Recorder's Office.
B. Hazards
The Town's hazard maps identify this site as being effected by rockfafl and debris flow.
The PEC said that if there was a way to document a design for a mitigation basin to
protect any future development, the request to rezone the property could be
supportable. The applicant hired Art Mears to design a mitigation catch basin, which is
shown on the site plan. A significant amount of the catch basin wall has been
incorporated into the rear foundation wall of the proposed development. The catch
basin will not only protect this development but will also protect many of the
surrounding properties.
C. Site Plan/Deed Restriction
Because the hazard mitigation is so critical to the development, the site plan has been
required as part of the rezoning to identify how the future development will be
protected. In addition to the site plan, there is a six page deed restriction which
provides detailed information about the future development. In addition to covering the
mitigation issue, the deed restriction also has stipulations regarding the:
1
1) permanently restricted employee housing, including size, location, and
timing of construction requirements;
2) hazard mitigation plan, requiring it to be completed and finished in a
manner that is sensitive to the neighborhood;
3) landscape plan, requiring one that is designed and planted in a way that
buffers the mitigation from the rest of the neighborhood;
4) distribution of GRFA, requiring that it will be allocated evenly among the
seven "free market" units and not be grouped together in a few "high
end" units; and
5) a requirement for annual cleaning of the hazard mitigation basin.
D. Neighborhood Response
There was a significant amount of neighborhood interest in the proposal. Some of it
was related to the proposed density, while most of it related to a potential sewer
easement on the site. At this time there is a private sewer line which crosses the site
which is not in an easement.
Some neighbors were concerned about the additional density; however, staff has
maintained that the surrounding densities in the area exceed what the applicant is
proposing and that this is a part of town which is appropriate for an LDMF level of
density and development. Please see page 5 in the PEC memo for additional
discussion about surrounding densities.
E. PEC Discussion
The PEC vote, 5-2, included two members who were opposed. One member was not
opposed to the concept or the density, but believed the project should have been an
SDD. Also, she believed additional guest parking should have been included in the
site plan. The other member voted against the project because she thought the height
of the wall required for the debris flow catch basin was too tall.
F. Conditions of Approval
The three conditions of approval which the PEC put on the project were:
1) that the applicant provide a drainage study;
2) that the applicant submit the plat, the deed restrictions and the site plan
following second reading of the rezoning request for the staff to have
recorded at the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's office (the applicant
shall pay for the recording fees); and
2
3) that the applicant provide additional landscaping as required by the DRB
at the time of the development.
Since the PEC hearing, the applicant has been working with the town engineer on the
drainage study. A significant amount of work has been done on this issue but some parts are
outstanding. Staff is recommending that the Town Council approve the rezoning request on
first reading with the understanding that the applicant complete the drainage study prior to any
DRB hearing for the project.
Please see the attached PEC memo, PEC minutes, neighborhood letters, site plan, and Art
Mears study regarding the hazards.

Parcel B: Tract A, Veil Heights Filing No. 1 according to the recorded plat thereof.
Applicant: Erich and Lily Schmetzko
Planner: Andy Knudtsen
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUESTS
Erich and Lily Schmetzko are requesting that the Town review three requests for'their property
located at 2239 Chamonix Lane. These include:
Rezoning the property from Primary/Secondary Residential to Low Density
Multiple Family Residential.
Replatting the two existing parcels to create one lot. This requires a minor
subdivision.
Creating a debris flow basin which requires a wall height variance.
1
The proposed LDMF zoning would allow 9 dwelling units, two of which the applicants are
proposing to permanently deed restrict as employee housing. The lot is currently vacant and
is located in both rockfall and debris flow hazard areas.
II. BACKGROUND
During work sessions on March 9, 1992, June 8, 1992, and July 13, 1992, the primary focus
of the PEC related to hazards. Specifically, the PEC requested information from the applicant
indicating the extent of the site needed for mitigation as well as any adjacent properties which
would be required to construct the hazard mitigation. This piece of information has been
provided at this time. Th"e PEC had expressed concern. that if extensive areas of the adjacent
properties were to be disturbed for mitigation, that an upzoning may not be appropriate. A
copy of the minutes from the July 13, 1992 meeting are provided at the end of this
memorandum. The summary of the comments made at that meeting was that if staff could.
find a way to document the design for the mitigation basin and the townhouse development,
then the request was generally supportable.
In April of 1992, Art Mears was. able to thoroughly evaluate the hazards. His report is
attached to this. memo and provides the information -which the PEC requested. Within the
report, Mears states that "rockfall mitigation will not be necessary at this building site"
because the "analysis using the CRSP model- indicated that rockfall will not reach the building
site." Regarding the debris, flow; hazard, .Art, Mears recommends that adequate mitigation can
be provided by a drainage basin, located completely on the Schmetzko, property. The
proposed design for the mitigation is attached to this memo.
Vegetation on this site is limited primarily to sagebrush and aspen, with the exception of two
large evergreen trees on the northeast corner of the site. The site rises above Chamonix
_ Lane: at approximately a 20-25% slope. To the west, most of the lots around this parcel are
developed.- To the east is the Pine Ridge Condominium complex. All of the land north of
Chamonix Lane is`zoned Primary/Secondary Residential and most of it has been developed in
excess of the density standards of Primary/Secondary zoning. Many of the lots have multi-
family housing on them.
In the early 1980s, the Town of Vail created a drainage channel across the Schmetzko
property. This was done immediately after a Severe debris flow event, during a spring when
debris flows;were occurring. frequently. The .Town acted in an emergency situation to try to
protect the. neighborhood. Mr. Schmetzko brought a lawsuit against the Town in an effort to
have his property restored to its original condition. -The Town and Mr, Schmetzko settled this
legal action and as part of the settlement, the Town agreed to restore the site to its original
grades. The Town regraded the site in early July of 1992 to fulfill its obligations to Mr.
Schmetzko.
In the past, several utility companies installed utility lines across the Schmetzko property. In
the same settlement, the utility companies understood that they would have to compensate
IVIr. Schmetzko for the use of his property. The utility companies decided that a simpler
solution was to relocate the utility lines off the property than to pay for the use of the land.
Staff understands that most of the lines have not been removed at this time.

III. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Some of the assumptions made for this site plan are that the building envelopes for the free
market units would be 24. ft. by 32 ft., or 768 square feet. The envelopes shown on the site
plan represent the first floor with a solid line and the second- and third floors with a dashed
line. The development of each townhouse would include atwo-car garage in the basement
and 2 stories of GRFA above that. The resulting 3-story townhouse shall conform to the 33-
foot height limitation in the LDMF zone district. The resulting GRFA would be approximately
1,628 square feet for each free market unit with 1,052 square feet in each of the 2 employee
housing units. The total GRFA would be approximately 13,500 square feet.
These numbers will be slightly reduced, after deducting the allowable GRFA credits. The
areas of overlapping stairs. and the first 25 square feet of an airlock would be deducted from
. GRFA calculafions. Garage area would not be counted either, and has not been included in
the numbers above. The approximate total GRFA of 13,500 is less than the 13,686.3 sq. ft.
allowed under-LDMF zoning but more than the 11,405 sq. ft. allowed under RC zoning. The
site :coverage proposed is approximately 6200 sq. ft., which is less than what is allowed by
RC zoning (12,201 sq. ft.) or LDMF zoning (17,081 sq. ft.).
With the proposed site plan, the applicant meets the parking standards. With this plan there
are 16 enclosed spaces and 10 exterior spaces. The parking requirement is.18 spaces. Six
. of the nine units will have .parking spaces available in front of the garages. Three units will
only#~ave the garage spaces. Per the Zohing Code, Residential Cluster zoning requires that
'one parking space per dwelling unit be enclosed. This proposal, as currently designed, would
meet this requirement. Under the requested LDMF zoning, there is not an enclosed parking
requirement.
Previously, staff was concerned about a.conceptual architectural design that included
.structured underground parking. Staff was concerned. that this was not financially feasible.
Staff does believe that the plan: for 2-car garages at the lowest level of each townhouse is
generally consistent with other development that is being built in the Town of Vail at this time
and is a reasonable expectation from the potential developer of this site.
Concerns from other departments in the Town have been addressed. None of the driveway
slopes exceed 8 percent. The Fire Department concerns have been addressed as a fire truck
turnaround has been located at the top of the driveway, which meets Town standards. The
Fire Department will require a fire hydrant to be located at the top of the driveway.
The applicant is proposing that two of the nine units on-site be restricted as employee housing
units, which is a positive benefit to the Town. The applicant and staff have discussed the
. timing of the construction of these employee units and have agreed that the units will be
constructed simultaneously with the rest of the development. Specific wording regarding the
timing is included in an agreement to be recorded as a deed restriction.

* Without complete survey information, staff estimated the lot size using the address map and
comparing the lots above to lots in the vicinity which staff had survey information on.
Primary Secondary zoning allows for two dwelling units per lot having a minimum of 15,000
sq. ft. On lots less than 15,000 sq. ft., one dwelling unit plus a restricted employee housing
unit are allowed if the EHU is approved by the DRB.
V. EVALUATION OF THE REZONING REG~UEST, .
Is the proposed zoning consistent with the Town of Vail Land Use Plan?
Staff would like to point out that the tables in the zoning analysis show that the nine units per
buildable acre proposed with the Low Density Multi-Family zoning falls within the range
allowed by the Land Use Plan, and is less than the density on most of the sites in the vicinity.
The Land Use Plan designates the parcel as Medium .Density Residential which allows 3-14
dwelling units per acre. This proposal would allow nine dwelling units per buildable acre and
does comply with the master plan.
Staff believes that the nine units requested under LDMF zoning would not appear out of
context with the neighborhood, given the densities of development on adjacent properties. All
5
of the sites in the vicinity are zoned Primary/Secondary Residential. However, they are legal
non-conforming in that they exceed the current density standards of the zoning code. Please
see Table 3 on the previous page to compare the approximate densities of the surrounding
property to the density proposed for the Schmetzko parcel. Considered alone, the nine units
appear to be a reasonable use of the site. However, considered with the mitigation, staff
believes that the development capacity of the site is fully maximized. Staff believes that this
level of density should be approved only with the guarantee that the detailed information (such
as finished topography and landscaping) will be incorporated into the development in the
future. Staff believes that this concern is addressed with the agreement that will be recorded
as a deed restriction.
Please note that part of the deed restriction requires that any amendment to the restriction be
aa~rovect by the Town. of Vail. Minor changes (shifts in building location up to 5 feet) may be
approved by the staff and DRB. Any change more significant than that will require PEC
review and approval. Staff believes thaf these requirements will allow some flexibility while
still maintaining the critical components of the deed restrictions in perpetuity.
.Four neighbors have expressed concern about the rezoning request. Letters from three of
them 'are attached at the end' of this memo. In conversation with these neighbors, staff has
emphasized that the character of-development along Garmisch Drive is much different than .
the character of development along Chamonix Lane. The developments along Chamonix
Lane are much denser. than the. proposed Schmetzko development. Staff would like to
reiterate the importance of the information shown in Table 3. It appears that the Schmetzko
development will be less dense and will be reasonably compatible with the properties
surrounding it.
VI. WALL HEIGHT VARIANCE
After Art Mears evaluated the rockfall and debris flow hazards for this property, he
recommended a dr-ainage basin to collect the debris flow. The basin will be located to the
north of the proposed nine..townhomes. A portion of the wall creating the basin will be
integrated into the foundations of the townhomes. Fill will be graded up around the wall, so
that a majority of it is not visible to surrounding properties. Immediately around the drain,
however, the grade will slope down and expose a total of 14 feet of wall. Per Section
18.58.020, walls are 'not to exceed 6 feet in height. A variance for the additional 8 feet of wall
is required. .
Criteria and Findinas
Upon review of Criteria and Findings, Section 18.62.060 of the Vail Municipal Code, the
Community Development Department recommends approval the requested variance based on
the following factors:
6
A. Consideration of Factors:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or
potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
The proposed mitigation basin will be created by a wall that is approximately 140 ft. long.
Some of this wall will be incorporated into the foundations of the townhouses. Portions that
extend' to either side of the townhouses will be set below grade so that only the top is visible.
To the neighbors east, south and west of the Schmetzko parcel, the upper 2 ft. of the wall will
be seen. As viewed from the north, the upper 6 ft. of the wall will be exposed. Thirty feet of
the wall will be located around the spillway and drainage area. It is this portion that must be
exposed to a greater degree to allow the basin to drain. For approximately 3 ft. of length, the
wall will be exposed at 14 ft. of height. This is the most extreme case and from this point, the
exposure of the wall tapers to 6 ft.
The architect is proposing five 6-8 foot spruce and nine 2" caliper aspen to be planted near
the wall within the basin. These will screen the wall where it is exposed, but will not reduce
the required capacity of the basin. Please see the attached landscape plan/site plan.
Staff believes that at the time of development, when drawings are completed that are more
specific than the site plan attached to this .memo, that additional landscaping should be
required. Staff believes that the landscaping shown` on the site plan is the minimum required
to meet Town standards. Staff's primary goal with the landscaping that is shown is to screen
the mitigation basin and wall height variance. We see a need for additional landscaping at the
entry and around the perimeter of the project to buffer it from neighbors.
Staff believes that given the nature of the mitigation solution, most of it is reasonably screened
from the neighbors. The one section with the greatest exposure will be screened with clusters
of trees. Staff believes that the architect has designed a solution that integrates a relatively
technical solution into the hillside and into the foundations of the adjacent townhomes and
protects surrounding properties and uses.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and
enforcement of a specifed'regulation is necessary to achieve
compatibility and.urnform~ty of treatment among. sites in the vicinity or to
attain the objectives of this #itle without grant of special privilege.
Staff, believes that relief from a strict application of the wall height regulation is warranted in
this case due to unique circumstances of the hazards affecting this parcel. According to this
.design, the. individual who develops this land will be protecting all of the surrounding
properties from this debris flow channel. Due to the fact that this parcel is located in the direct
line of this debris flow channel, we believe that a mitigation solution for this location is needed
and that the wall height variance that is required as a part of the mitigation is reasonable.
7
3. The effect of the. requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and
utilities, and public safety.
One concern staff has at this time regarding the design of the mitigation basin involves the
drainage culverts. Currently, the architect has designed the basin to be drained by five 12
inch diameter culverts. These culverts would drain the basin for rainstorms and snow melt.
These are.not intended to function during a debris flow, as the basin is intended to collect the
debris. After a debris flow event, the only way to clear the basin will be to manually excavate
the debris and haul it away. The culverts are sized based on a percentage of the 100 year
flood. However, at this time a drainage study has not been conducted. Staff is
recommending tbat,,the applicant provide the study prior to first reading of the rezoning at
Town Council. 7he`arehitect does not anticipate that the design will change significantly: The
study is intended to confirm.the estimate made by the architect with the current design. Staff
feels comfortable allowing the developer to address this drainage issue before the first reading
of the rezoning ordinance.
Staff believes that the proposed variance will not impact light, air, population, transportation,
traffic or utilities. We think it will have a positive impact on the public safety of the area.
B. The .Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings
before granting a variance:
1.. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in
the same district.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity. -
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified
regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title. '
b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zone.
c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners
of other properties in the same district.

VII. SUBDIVISION REQUEST
At this time, the applicant meets all of the subdivision standards for a minor subdivision in the
LDMF zone district. These standards include lot area (10,000 sq. ft. of buildable area),
_ frontage (minimum 30 feet), and size (minimum 80' x 80'). The replatting process provides an
opportunity to document the resolution of the hazard mitigation issue and the employee
housing issue. The applicant could hypothetically develop the site as single family residences
without the debris flow basin since the Town code does not require mitigation for single family
or duplex construction. However, staff believes reauirina mitiaation. reaardless of
development tvp_e. is critical. This position is. based on the belief that a request for higher
densities should only be approved if mitigation is mandatory. .
The deed restriction covers more than the mitigation issue, including the following key points:
• the permanently restricted employee housing, including size, location, and timing of
construction requirements;
• the mitigation plan, requiring it to be completed and finished in a manner that is
sensitive to the neighborhood;
• a.landscape plan, specifically one that is designed and planted in a way that
buffers the mitigation from the rest of the neighborhood; and
• the distribution of GRFA, such that it will be allocated evenly among the 7 "free
market" units and not be grouped together in a few "high end" units.
In general, staff believes that the amount of work that has been invested in the site plan
design to date by both the applicant and Town staff, provides for a sensitively designed
development. The intent is that when the project is built it will be constructed per this plan.
VIII. CONCLUSION
Staff is recommending approval of all three requests. These include the rezoning, the wall
height variance, and -the minor subdivision. As a point of clarification, the Planning and
Environmental Commission is making a recommendation to Town Council regarding the
rezoning. The PEC is making a decision regarding the wall height variance that, if approved,
will be valid for two years from the date of the hearing. The PEC is the approving authority for
the minor subdivision which, if approved, would be effective immediately.
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning as, in our opinion, we believe it is consistent with
the Town of Vail Land Use Plan. We also believe that it will allow a development that is
compatible.with surrounding properties as long as it is in compliance with the site plan. The
site plan will be recorded. at the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's Office and the plat will be
deed restricted, requiring all future development to conform to this site plan. We believe that
it is very positive thaf the proposal involves two deed restricted employee housing units.
Staff recommends approval of the minor subdivision as it conforms to all applicable zoning
standards as well as approval of the wall height variance as it meets the criteria and findings
9
as discussed in the memo. Specifically, staff believes that Finding (B)(1) is met in that the
variance does not constitute a grant of special privilege as the hazard impacts to this property
create a unique situation. Finding (B)(2) is met in staff's opinion as the granting of the
variance is not detrimental to the public's health, safety or welfare. In fact, granting the
variance will increase the safety and welfare in the neighborhood, in staff's opinion. Finally,
Finding (B)(3j(b) is met in staff's opinion as the hazards constitute an extraordinary
circumstance applicable to this site that is not generally found on other properties in the same
zone district.
In conclusion, staff recommends approval of the requests with the conditions that:
1) the applicants provide staff with a drainage study, specifying the size and
number of culverts needed to adequately drain the debris flow basin prior to
first reading of the rezoning request.
2) the applicants submit the plat, the deed restrictions, and the site plan following
the..second reading of the rezoning request and the staff will submit this
information to the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder's Office .for recording. The
applicants shall pay for recording fees. '
3) the applicants provide additional landscaping as required by the DRB at time of
development.

Dalton Williams asked how many spaces were available in the east lot.
• Mike Mollica stated that if "We Recycle" was moved off-site, there would be
approximately 20 to 23 parking spaces available.
Chuck Crist moved to amend Jeff Bowen's motion to show that the east lot would be
for non-Police employees until it is shown that the Police need all of the spaces in the
lot.
A 4-3 vote resulted with Greg Amsden, Jeff Bowen, Gena Whitten and Chuck Crist
approving the request and Dalton Williams, Diana Donovan and Kathy Langenwalter
opposed.
Diana Donovan stated that she supports the direction of the project and the direction of
the motion, but felt that the parking was still inadequate.
Kathy Langenwalter agreed with Diana with regards to the parking issue.
Dalton Williams stated that since there was no applicant present with the authority to
accept the ten conditions, he could not support the project:- He also agreed with Diana
concerning the parking issue.
Kristan Pritz stated that this item would probably be called up at the March 2, 1993
Town Council evening meeting..

Andy Knudtsen made a presentation per the staff memo and stated that the staff
recommended approval of this request with two conditions: 1) that the applicant obtain
a revocable right-of-way permit, and 2) that the driveway be modified.
Chuck Crist motioned to approve this request for a site coverage variance with the two
conditions outlined. in the staff memo with Jeff Bowen and Gena Whitten seconding the
motion, with a unanimous 7-0 vote to approve this request.

Applicant: Erich Schmetzko
Planner: Andy Knudtsen
Andy Knudtsen made a presentation per the staff memo.
Greg Amsden asked what portion of the mitigation basin wall requires a variance.
Andy Knudtsen responded that 48 feet of the wall tapers from 6 feet to 14 feet in
height. The 14 feet section is only 3 feet in length.
Diana Donovan inquired how the maintenance of the drainage basin is being taken
care of.
Rick Rosen, the architect for this proposal, stated that they are open for suggestions
and that whatever is comfortable and workable would be considered. He suggested
that the drainage basin could be inspected annually and cleaned as needed and then
inquired whether this would be acceptable.
The PEC members generally agreed that Rick Rosen's suggestion was acceptable.
Wolfgang Lampe, an adjacent property owner who owns Lots 13 and 14, stated that a
previous request for an eight unit project in this neighborhood went before the PEC
and was denied. He stated that the density of the properties should remain
Primary/Secondary. He also said that property values will be down graded if this
request is approved.
Brian Lax (owner of a condominium on Lot 4) provided a letter from Cecil Spadafora
and stated that he had recently purchased this condominium and it was his concern
that property values would decrease as a result of this request being approved.
Fred Schmidt stated that he had installed the sewer line which runs through the
Schmetzko parcel. He also said that presently, there is no easement for the sewer
line. He feels that it is common practice that adjacent property owners should be given
Planning and Environmental Commission
February 22, 1993
easements.
Larry Eskwith stated the Town of Vail has been in litigation with Mr. Schmetzko. He
stated that they are dealing with aPrimary/Secondary subdivision and that the Water
and Sanitation District has the authority to require the easement. He also said that
due to the nature ,and size of the request, the Town is no# in the position to require the
easement.
Fred Schmidt stated that it is not fair for Mr. Schmetzko to deprive the sewage line
from the adjacent property owners.
Greg Amsden stated that this is an existing problem and that any time utilities are put
into private property it becomes a matter to resolve between the two private parties.
He also pointed out that the Schmetzkos are looking for a rezoning. The purpose of
this review was not to establish a sewer line easement.
Rick Rosen stated that Upper Eagle Valley is negotiating with the Schmetzko's counsel
to figure out a solution to this situation.
Larry Eskwith stated the power of eminent domain may have to be used by Upper
Eagle Va11ey in this matter.
Greg Amsden stated that with regard to a downward trend in property values, the type
of building proposed on this property wilt improve values. He also stated that if this
request is granted, traffic flow on this site will be less than that on adjacent lots
because the density will be less than on other sites.
Greg Amsden asked whether mitigation was required regardless of building activity.
Andy Knudtsen responded that mitigation was required only if building permits were
applied for and construction was completed.
Kathy Langenwalter then inquired whether the fire truck turnaround could be used for
parking.
Andy Knudtsen responded that the turnaround could not be used for parking.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that she feels strongly that two guest parking spaces need
to be provided. She also stated that five out of the nine units have no guest parking
available. She feels that at least twa guest parking spaces should be provided to
prevent people from parking in the turnaround or an the street.
Andy Knudtsen stated that this had been discussed previously and had been deleted
from the design, but that if the PEC feels the parking situation is a problem, then the
spaces could be added back into the design.

Kathy Langenwalter stated that this brings up her original concern that this project
should be a SDD. She said that this would be a guideline for what could be done in
the future.
Rick Rosen stated that it would not be a problem for the Schmetzkos to put two guest
parking spaces in and that Mark Donaldson could easily do it with a CAD system.
Diana Donovan then asked the PEC whether they warited two guest parking spaces to
be a part of the plan.
Dalton Williams stated that in June of 1992 the PEC decided that the two guest
parking spaces would not be required and it was his feeling that they should abide by
that decision.
Jeff Bowen stated that he was ambivalent about this issue.
Chuck Crist stated that he does not care whether parking is in or out.
Greg Amsden and Diana Donovan stated that they thought the two spaces could be
eliminated.
Diana Donovan concluded that the majority of the PEC is not concerned with the guest
parking issue.
Gena Whitten stated that she was against the idea of the retaining wall.
Rick Rosen stated that a catch basin will protect over sixty properties and 3,100 cubic
yards of debris flow could be caught by such a catch basin.
Andy Knudtsen stated that Mark Donaldson has bermed up the wall on the north, east
and south sides so that the wall is screened from view.
Larry Eskwith said that the Town of Vail requires mitigation for multifamily construction
in an effort to protect the public.
Dalton Williams made the motion for the PEC per the staff memo recommending
approval of the rezoning to Town Council, and making the approval of the minor
subdivision plat and wall height variance contingent on the rezoning becoming final.
Concerning the wal! height variance, he cited findings B1, 62, B3(a, b, c) on page eight
of the staff memo. He also cited the three conditions of approval on page 10 in the
staff memo and added that an annual cleaning be incorporated within the deed
restrictions.
Jeff Bowen seconded this motion with a 5-2 vote resulting. Jeff Bowen, Dalton
Williams, Diana Donovan, Chuck Crist and Greg Amsden approved this request with

Gena Whitten and Kathy Langenwalter opposing.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that she thought the proposal should have been an SDD
and that parking is still a concern to her.
Gena Whitten agreed with Kathy and added that she feels that the mitigation wall is
too much.
6. A request for a conditional use to allow for an outdoor dining deck for the Uptown Grill
Restaurant, located at 521 East Lionshead Circle/Lot 3, Block 1, Vail/Lionshead First
' Filing.
Applicant: Joel Fritz and Richard N. Brown
Planner: Tim Devlin
Tim Devlin made a presentation per the staff memo, and stated that the staff was
recommending approval of the request for a conditional use permit for the outdoor
dining deck with several conditions discussed in the memo.
Joe! Fritz stated that if the Bird of Paradise sculpture is moved 8 or 9 feet to the east,
that it would not impede pedestrian traffic. He stated that there was more than one
option available with regard to the Bird of Paradise's location.
Dalton Williams stated that it looks as though the Bird of Paradise should line up with
the Krismar wall. He said that the deck should be clearly delineated by flowers,
planters and evergreen trees to make it look attractive. He feels it makes more sense
not to fence off an already tight area.
Gena Whitten stated that she is still opposed fo this request because the function of
the espresso cart is different than that set forth in the ordinance addressing outdoor
dining decks. She added that the Town of Vail presently has no provisions for vending
carts and needs to address them specifically.
Kathy Langenwalter stated that the deck should maybe be placed in a more central
location so that the space feels more open and possibly placed so that the deck lines
up with elevator shaft.
Joel Fritz stated that he felt that large pots with permanent trees and seasonal foiiage
would look best to delineate the boundaries of the deck.
Kristan Pritz stated that the staff wants the deck to look and function like an outdoor
dining deck so that a .precedent for outdoor vending carts is not set.
Dalton Williams stated that the Uptown Grill is an unusual site and agreed that he does
not want to see a precedent set allowing for carts.

1 OBJECTIVES AND LIMITATIONS
This analysis of debris-flow and rockfall hazard and mitigation on the Schmetzko
property in West Vail was requested by Mr. Richard Rosen. The analysis has the
following objectives:
a. Analysis and quantification of rockfalls
b. Specification of rockfall mitigation;
c. Analysis and quantification of debris flow;
d. Specification of debris-flow mitigation; and
j e. Description of the risk from geologic hazards.
The report has the following limitations which should be understood by all those
planning and permitting development in this hazard area:
1
a. This site specific analysis may be appropriate for this site only and is
not necessarily applicable to other sites;
b. The dimensions .(depth, width, length) of the debris-flow mitigation
system proposed in this report must be maintained at all times in order
for the system to be effective; and
c. There exists some small probability that the design debris-flow
volume assumed in this study will be exceeded and the protection plan
proposed will not contain the entire flow.

~ ,
. ~ 2 ROCKFALL ANALYSIS AND ~lTIGATlON
2.1 ROCKFALL HAZARD
According to Town of Vai{ mapping, a' portion of the property is exposed to moderate
severity" rockfall hazard. This study analyzed potential rockfall hazard in detail so that
structural mitigation could be incorporated into design, if necessary.
The rockfall source area affecting the property and building site is located in and
directly below sandstone cliff outcroppings approximately 850 feet northwest and 350
feet above the proposed building site. A site investigation conducted on March 28
evaluated the following:,
a. Design rock size (found to be a 2-foot diameter rock);
b. Terrain profile; and
c. Surface roughness, hardness, and vegetation cover.
These factors ("a," ub," and "c") were used in the Colorado Rockfall Simulation
Program (CRSP) to compute rockfall velocity, bounce height, and travel distance. The
analysis using the CRSP mode! indicated that rockfall will not reach the building s'ste.
This conclusion could not be supported by site inspection of the proposed building
area because this area has undergone extensive earthwork modification since a debris
flow in May, 1984; earthwork removed field evidence of previous rockfall.
2.2 ROCKFALL MITIGATION
Rockfa)I mitigation will not be necessary at the building site. Although rockfall may
. reach the northern edge of the property during extreme conditions, any rock reaching
the property would stop in the debris-flow mitigation basin discussed in Section 3 of
this report.

3 DEBRIS-FLOW ANALYSIS AND MITIGATION
. 3.1 DEBRIS-FLOW HAZARD
A debris flow occurred on the property during May, 1984. This flow spread laterally
over the property, transported large boulders and mud into buildings east of the
property, and caused moderate damage. Because debris flows may occur in the
future and constitute a hazard at this location, mitigation is required.
3.2 DEBRIS-FLOW CHARACTERISTICS AT SITE
Debris flows may result during times when the soil cover is saturated, internal soil
strength is small, and surface and subsurface runoff is high. (n 1984 the debris flow
resulted as a small debris avalanche occurred at approximately 8,800 feet elevation
on the east-facing slope in the canyon north of the property and deposited into the
stream channel. The stream was experiencing high snowmelt water runoff at the time,
combined with the debris avalanche, and produced a debris flow. The resulting debris
flow consisted of a mixture of water, mud, rocks, and organic material that descended
the stream channel and deposited on the alluvial ,fan upon which the buildings and
property are located. Rocks up to three feet in diameter were transported by the flow
onto. the private property. The flow transported some of the debris against the
buildings and deposited some debris on the alluvial fan above the building sites.
Debris flows of this magnitude appear to be rare events with relatively long return
periods at this site. No similar events have been reported since the early 1960's when
Vail was founded. Furthermore, inspection of aerial photography dated 1939, 1950,
1962, and 1974 indicates that flows have not occurred at least since the early part of
the 20th century; they probably have not occurred at this site for at feast 100 years.
Events of this magnitude may have a return period of.roughly one century (an annual
probability of 1 However, specification of a return period is speculative given the
available data base and the statistical interdependence of debris-flow and landslide
activity on steep slopes in the Vail area.
3.3 DEBRIS FLOW DYNAMICS
Debris flow dynamics must be calculated to design structural defense facilities and
prevent flows from reaching and damaging buildings. The important design _
parameters resulting from a dynamics analysis are: (a) flow thickness, (b) impact
pressure, (c) velocity, and (d) flow volume. The following assumptions and
procedures were used to compute these design parameters.
a. An initial release volume of 1000 m' (1,300yd') released as a debris
avalanche from the steep east-facing slope at approximately 9,000 feet
elevation similar to many releases observed in May, 1984.
3
D . b. The debris-flaw mass is assumed to stop at approximately the
8,000-foot elevation level, thus zero velocity was assumed for this
elevation. High-water discharge wilt, of course, continue to transport
and disperse debris below 8,000 feet.
j c. Flow velocity, flaw thickness, and mass distribution through time was
f computed by applying a stochastic flow model that simulates flow
distribution thrc~.~gh time, Additional details of the modeling procedure
are in Appendix A. This detail of debris-flow dynamics can be used by
the engineer in final design modifications of the defense system, if
required.
3.4 DEBRIS-FLOW MITIGATION .
Debris-flow mitigation will consist of three parts:
a. Designing adebris-flow impact surface on the uphill side of the
building or downhill side of the basin;
b. Providing sufficient storage volume for the flow; andy
c. Providing for water runoff during periods of normal high water runoff
and providing channelization from the deposited debris. mass.
Parts "a" and "b" are discussed in this report. Design details of the water
channelization must be provided as in standard storm runoff studies, are beyond the
• scope of this study, and probably cannot be specified without architectural design
details or final building layout. The debris flow basin and dam system are sketched in
Figures 1 and 2.
3.5 EFFECTIVENESS AND MAINTENANCE OF MITIGATION SYSTEM
In order to remain effective against debris flows of design magnitude,-the basin and
impact wall mitigation system must be maintained at the design size even if another
debris flow occurs and partially or completely fails the basin. The following must be
inspected each year, or after any debris flow:
a. Impact wall height a wall height of approximately 11 feet must be
maintained (Figure 2 A, B, and C};
b. Basin volume the basin storage volume (3,100 yd') must be
maintained (plan view shown in Figure 1, cross-section shown in Figure
2A);
4
, ` l
. c. Normal water-runoff channel the channel, designed to convey
normal stream water runoff (not debris flows), must be maintained at all -
times above, through, and below the basin/dam system.
The annual inspection must determine if conditions "a,' "b," and "c" are satisfied. If
they are not, the mitigation system may not be effective against a debris flow of
design magnitude.
Some small probability exists that flows of larger than design magnitude will occur. An
example of a Larger event occurred in Booth Creek during May, 1984. Such a large
debris flow appears to. be unlikely at this location because large volumes of
unconsolidated glacial deposits are not present on the valley walls above the site.
5
. 4 HAZARD T4 ADJACENT PROPERTY
The proposed debris-flow mitigation system wil( not increase the hazard to adjacent
public or private property. The dam/storage basin system proposed will, in fact reduce
the hazard to adjacent property if (a) the basin and channel are tied in properly to the
uphill terrain, (b) the wall and basin are built to the design standards specified, (c) the
design flow volume is not exceeded, and (d) the drainage channel is property located
and designed.
. 5 RESIDUAL HAZARD 1N AREA
The structural defense system proposed in this study is intended to protect buildings .
and persons who are in the building when the debris flow occurs. However, the
persons one wished to protect may be outside when the debris flow occurs and
therefore could be e;:posed to the hazard regardless of the mitigation system.
Although rockfall does not reach the buildings and does not require structural defense,
tolling rocks may constitute a hazard to persons within the debris basin or on the
slopes behind the property.
These residual risks are small and usually are discounted in planning residential
development. The Town of Vail has no hazard restrictions in residential areas where
buildings or other fixed facilities are planned. This small risk outside of buildings can
be reduced even further if residents are aware of the potential problem and take
normal precautions during periods likely to produce debris flow or rockfall. Self-
. education about debris flow, rockfall and other geologic hazard is recommended for
residents of this area.
A

APPENDIX A: Debris-flow dynamics
Debris flow dynamics were calculated through application of a 2-step procedure as
follows:
! a. STARTING AND STOPPING POSITIONS. The debris flow starting and
j stopping positions were determined from studies of valley geometry, locations
of previous source areas, and depositional features on the alluvial fans. No
I attempt was made to predict debris-flow stopping positions through dynamics
modeling.
b. DEBRIS FLOW DYNAll~f1CS. Debris-flow dynamics were computed
through application of a stochastic particle-dynamics model in which the
initial avalanche mass was represented as a large number of particles
accelerating down the slope into the debris-flow channel. The model
' was used to .represent the assumed release volume and further
simulates additional entrained material as the flow spread between lateral
. and longitudinal boundaries observed in tie field.
Approximately 90% of the flow volume (3,100 yd3)is found to pass the
design location (8,010 foot elevation), in a period of 9.2 seconds. This ~is .
considerably more than the release volume (1,300 yd~), and accounts for
entrainment of debris in the channel. A flow width of 66 feet (20m) is
assumed on the upper alluvial fan from field evidence. The peak flow
thickness is computed as 6.1 feet. Flow velocities of 22 to 28 feetlsec
were calculated at the 8,010 foot elevation level. The computed flow '
thickness, impact pressure, acid velocity at the 8,010-foot elevation are
shown on Figures 3, 4, and 5. Each of these flow parameters are shown
as a function of time since the beginning of the debris avalanche.

APPENDIX B: Design of Mitigation
Mitigation design consists of (a) specifying an impact wall height and strength to resist
impact, (b) specifying a debris basin volume., and (c) maintaining an open channel for
normal spring runoff. The procedures for calculating "a" and "b" are discussed in this
appendix.
a. IMPACT WALL. The height of the impact surface is determined by . .
adding the average of the three maximum flow thicknesses shown in
Fgure 3((6.1 + 4.1 + 3.3]/3 = 4.5 feet to the modified velocity head
Vz/4g, where velocity, V is the average velocity during these same three
time intervals. Thus the modified velocity head, from Fgure 4, is
calculated ((28 + 27 +22]/3)2/128.8 = 5.1 feet, and the impact wall height
is 4.5 + 5.1 = 9.6 feet. The impact loading on the wall is the average .
impact pressure (2550 + 2350 + 1600)/3 = 2i 70 psf over a height of 4.5
feet. This pressure decreases linearly to zero from the top of the flow at
4.5 feet until the top of the impact wall is reached at 9.6 feet. The
recommended wall height of 11 feet provides a "safety factor" of 1.4 feet.
The impact design parameters are shown in Fgure 2B. Depositional
loading will occur against the wall after the flow has stopped, but
depositional loads will be less than impact loads.
b. BASIN VOLUME. The debris storage basin can be any shape as
long as the volume of the dam can contain the design debris flow (3,100
yd3). A recommended .layout for this. basin is shown on Figure 1
however, a final shape can be modified in final landscaping plans. The .
basin must be designed so that water will drain freely through the basin
and down the channel. Maintenance must ensure that the basin does
not serve 2s a pond for standing water. We recommend that a site
inspection be conducted to ensure the basin serves the intended
purpose of protecting the, site. - ,
c.. DRAINAGE CHANNEL. A drainage channel must be maintained at
the eastern side of the property. The purpose of this channel will be to
convey normal spring runoff through the property, it is not intended to
convey debris flows. This channel must also convey water after a large
debris flow occurs, therefore an opening must be built into the wall that
will stop debris but allow water to floY~ into the channel. This channel
"spillway" must be blocked by horizontal pipes approximately 18" to 22"
apart that will enable passage of water and fine debris but not rocks.
These pipes must be designed to resist the impact loads specified in -

Dear hir. Fostcr:
I have reviewed the site plan and cross sections dated 77/92 of the proposed Schmetzko
debris-flow defense in West Vail and offer the following s~ggcstions and comments. As
noted on page 11 of nay April, 1992 report, the mitibation design must consist of three pans:
(a) dcsia~ of an impact ~va11 11 feet high, (b) design of a basin to contain 3,100}'d' of thud,
water, rock, and debris, and (c) design of a drainage channel for~.vater runoff.
(a) L~2PACT WALL. Your drawings show an impact wall 11-feet high, as I recommended,
although a portion of this surface is the sloping bed of the basLt. This differs from the
vertical surface 1 proposed in my report. I recommend increasing the height from 11 to 13
feet because the energy of the flow will not he dissipated as quickly ~~'ith the sloping surface
and debris climbing heights will be siiphtly g,reatcr. The impact surface, both vertical and
sloping, must bc. stable against the loads shoo-n in Figure 2 (IJ) of my report. The constant
load (~,170psf) acts over the lower ~.5 ft and then decreases to zero at 9.6 feet. The 12-foot
height provides a ''freeboard" of ?.4 feet abo~•e this level. Safety factors have nac been
included in the loads I provided but are somctirocs added b}• the structural engineer during the
final dcsiln process. I recommend that safety factor`.; ate of a magnitude consistent. with
factors used in desigp of earthen structures exposed w d}'n~-~ruic loads of other types
(earthquakes, etc.). _
(b) BASIN VOLUME. The required basin volume is 3,1t)U yd', calculated below a
horir,vntal plane that intersects the impact Fall 2.4 feet below the top (1 additional foot of
freeboard has been added, as discussed in (a]). 1 have not calculated this storage volume
from your drawings, but you are responsible for ensuring that this storage volume exists. .
(c) DRAINAGE CI-~AT.'NEL. A drainage chWwcl is an essential part of the total mitigatio~i
dcsiln system. Debris flows are rare events at this lvc:tion, but srowr;relt runoff may
produce substantial water runoff during many ycaxs, even during years with no debris flows.
Water hunt the upper channel must, therefore, be come}•ed thrvu~h the debris basin and
safely thrrntgh the property at all times, including non-Jcbr;s flow years of lugh water runoff.
The water drainage channel must be designed thrUUgh usual open-~hanncl hydraulics
procedures, Qivcn a design ~vatcr flood discharge (i.e., the 10(.)--year flood or whatever
standard is used at Vail must be assumed in c~-rlatlatiorts). 'I"he flowing water must not eradc

. the basin structure, become pondcd i.n the basin, or inadvcrtcntly diverted to another direction
where it may damage downstream facilities or piopcrty. Furthetznore, the debris basal must -
~:eti~er became a pond unless this is desired. If this is desired, the lower basin wall must be
designed in accordance with State of Colorado standards for design of dams anti spillways. If
a pond is not desired, the normal flood runoff must tit all times he conveyed through the
basin. The alignment of the drainage channel is not important as long as drainage conditions
are satisfied. I did not specif}~ a surface drainage swalc on the ~~cst side of the property as
indicated on }'our site plan. I believe this was specified by Michael Hazard. '
After a debris flow occurs and solid material is trapped in the basin, the normal water-runoff
channe( ma}' be obscured or blocked by debris. The debris (rocks, rnud, ctC.) will not flow
nut of the basin by itself. When :hannel blockage occurs water will become temporarily
ponded in the b~ssin and may rise to a height that is greater than the debris. Z'h.is is why a
spillwa}~ opening gust be providcJ in the darn wall t~ convey ~vatcr to the lower drainage
channel. 'T'his spillway must b:, designed to convey the water flood discharEe that may
immediately fellow the debris flow anti collects on top of the debris in the basin. Once
again, a 1 t)t.)-year fioocl c1:'srharge ma}' be appropriate in Vail. I believe the driveway you
show in your plans will convey this water, however, final design must ensure that the
conveyance structure to the driveway/floot3 channel never becomes blocked. If it does
bccotnc blocked the entire basin nta}' overtop and fail suddenly, creating widespread damage
below the dam.
Engineering dcsi,~r for flood runoff is an important part of the f nal design process and is
separate from work I ha~•e nor-,tpleted for Mr. Schmctzko. The work I have done simply
c.alculatcs and quantifies the dynaritics, forces, and niitigaNon of the debris flow, riot the
flood. ,'1 safe design must consider both parts of rise hyurolog~c event.
I hope these comments ha~•e been of some help to }'ou. Please contact me if you have any
questions.

Being an adjacent Neighbor to the Property in question, I more

I herewith ask the City Council to please advise me immediately
in writing to my St. Louis Address above of any and all tleetings

definitely adversely affect my Vacation Home.
Again I wish to emphasize that I am totally opposed to Re-Zoning

RE: 1) Application to Rezone Sch:netzco Property Generally Located

As the owners of record of Unit 15-A, 2308 Garmisch Townhouses, we
wish to go on record as vigorously opposir_g the Schmetzco applica-
tior. by reaso^. that, when we purchased the property in 1975, we
were of the opinion that the zo^irg status of all the properties i::
the area would be upheld for the indefir_ite future except by the
uTar.i:no•us consent of all the, affected owners. Approval of the
Schmetzco applicatio_^. will downgrade the area, ir_ view of its
proposed irate*_zded use, and in troduce a populatiol ar_d vehicular
Ge.^.sity that the area cannot tolerate, It will, also, co^tribute
to a f~:rther reduction. of sorrow :ding property values which already
have suffered enough deterioration ir. recent years.
We also urge the granting of an easeme;.t for the purpose of rerout-
ing the cor~r::o_^. sewer line froT the 2308 Garmisch Townhouses around
the SchTetzco property ir_ order ±o correct a builder's oversight of
long stardirg. It is completely indefensible to permit an i::divid-
ual to ':old the current owners accountable for so:^ethi__^.g that they
had ro part it whatsoever and that they had every reason to believe
was accomplished in accordance with normally accepted buildi^g ar_d
legal practices in effect at the ti**.:e of construction. How many
home buyers and/or attorneys check ease::zer_t details at closing
time?
In all fairness, the Sch^~etzco application. for rezoning should _^.ot
be approved and the 2308 Garmisch Townhouses should be granted ar.
appropriate ease::ient around the Schmetzco property and be permitted
to relocate the controversial sewer line without suffering any
financial per_alty. We firmly believe that the authorities owe us
no less than that.
We apologize for the late input but, being absentee owners, we had

. Atn. Mr. Andrew Knudtsen
Town Planner Sep.6, 1992
Ref.: Proposed change of zoning for the SME TZKO Property in West-Vail
Dear Mr. Knudtsen,
Together with Birgit and Peter Lampe,I, Annemarie Lampe am owner of lot 13 and
14, Vail Das Schone.
Only through neigbors was I informed of the proposed change of zoning for the
above mentioned property, with which we share a common corner, from primary/
secondary to multifamily housing.
Since the time of annexation of West Vail it was decided that in the future it'
would be primary/secondary only in this peticular area.
Since then, all new constrctions were accordingly and new property owners were
confident that the appearance of the~area would be secured under this zoning
ordinance.
If a single owner for reasons of profit would be allowed to build 6 units on
a lot zoned for 2, it would set a very unfair precedent for more similiar
requests, putting real estate values in doubts.
The new construction of a multifamily unit in an area where for over 10 years
only primary/secondary homes were permitted would.certainly have a very negative
impact om the surrounding properties, considerably lowering their values.
I therefore strongly oppose any change of the actual zoning and request to be
informed about any further steps being taken in this matter.
P~2
Sincerely

Dear Representatives of the Town of Vail:
I am writing to let you know that my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our

with a bat along Gore Creek.
My concerns about the encounter though were ably answered by Bob Slagle of the
Summit County Animal Control Center in Avon. I understand that from time to
time, you must negotiate contracts with his office. I feel he rendered me a
valuable service and would continue to render valuable services to residents
and visitors to Summit County in the future.
Please call or write if you have any questions.

Dear Ms. Osterfoss:
The 1993 year was one of the most challenging years for me in my ten year Cable
Television career. Not only have we added new services to the area (Request I ,Request
2, Playboy and Action Pay Per View), We have complied with the new 1992 Cable Act
requirements on a timely basis. -
New services such as The STARZ Channel, and the SEGA Channel are scheduled to be
launched in the area this year along with the planned Fiber Optic Upgrade that will enable
us to be one of the first systems to enhance our capabilities with the onslaught of new
technology. This Mountain area is noted for its leadership in new services and high
' quality, we will continue to be a big part of this future.
As always, we continue to comply with all material terms and provisions of the franchise
agreements and are very proud of our increase in community effort including the U.S.
Forest Service, The Dare program, Toys for Tots, Muscular Dystrophy, Education
scholarships, Bravo, and Physical activity for our youth projects, just to name a few. I
hope to concentrate even more heavily on Education and Library projects in the coming
year.
As you know from speaking to me on earlier dates, we at TCI Cablevision of the Rockies,
Inc. feel proud of our service and I am especially excited about the local long term
employees. Feel free to contact me or my staff at any time when we can be of service or
aid to the town and our customers.

WASHINGTON UPDATE
by Marge Price-- Linton, Mields, Reisler & Cottone, Ltd.
The final U.S. DOT Fiscal Year 1994 Appropriations bill was enacted with significantly higher funding for highway and
transit trust fund programs and selected rail programs, but with less money for aviation and little or no~increases for many other
DOT programs. President Clinton signed the bill on October 27. It is now Public Law 103-122.
Priority designation for funding was given to Denver's ongoing I-70/I-25 "Mousetrap" interchange reconstruction and to
the 23rd Street Viaduct. As soon as USDOT confirms the amounts in each category of the final bill, Colorado Department of
Transportation should be notified of the amounts of funding available for the fiscal year which began October 1.
For highways, the final bill sets an obligation authority ("permission to spend") ceiling of $19.6 billion nationwide for the
current fiscal year.
The highways portion does not include a long list of earmarked project fundings. This could signal the end of a trend that
has generated increasing demand for such earmarks with each successive round of DOT appropriations. Most of the highway
projects in the Appropriations Committee version of the House bill were stripped from the measure on the House floor as a result of
a successful procedural challenge by leaders of the Public Works Committee. On the Senate side, Transportation Appropriations
Subcommittee chairman Frank Lautenberg (Dem-NJ), who dislikes the practice of demonstration project earmarks, barred any new
project provisions. This left the final bill with only $18.4 million in general fund appropriations for two projects in Texas and
Kentucky.
Possible Mid-Term Authorization Bill
The House Public Works subcommittee on Surface Transportation okayed H.R. 3276, a technical corrections bill that is free
of demonstration projects and other amendments that could draw complaints. Subcommittee chairman Nick Rahall (Dem-WV)
termed the bill a "no-fat" technical corrections bill, a "sugar-free ISTEA" (referring to the Intermodal' Surface Transportation
Efficiency Act of 1991). The proposal awaited full committee approval and floor action by the full House of Representatives.
Rahall and Public Works chairman Norman Mineta (Dem-CA) have promised that early next year the committee will take
up a bill to define the National Highway System. That bill will also be a vehicle for new project provisions, the kind that in the past
would have to wait for a new multi-year highway reauthorization or else receive funding through an earmark in the annual DOT
appropriations bill.
Most provisions in the technical corrections bill fix minor glitches in the 1991 ISTEA. One provision, however, would
extend by one year the October 1, 1993 deadline for states to adopt mandatory seat belt and motorcycle helmet laws before they
suffer the funding sanctions already incurred under terms of the 1991 law. Unless Congress acts to modify the 1STEA, states that .
began the present fiscal year without having adopted the required seat belt and helmet laws must be penalized in FY 1995, by
having 1.54 percent of that year's highway program apportionments transfen ed to their highway safety programs. The delay in the
technical corrections bill gives states one more year to adopt necessary legislation.
According to the Federal Highway Administration, 38 states failed to pass the required laws~by the October 1 deadline.
Six of them lack adequate safety belt laws; the remainder either have inadequate helmet laws or no helmet laws. Colorado is one of
three states without a helmet bill and is subject to the sanctions.
Other substantial provisions of the technical corrections bill increase the role of Indian governments in planning; make
Indian nations eligible for highway safety grants; and boost the federal share of transit grants for states with high percentages of
federally owned lands. This could be a real plus for Colorado.

SUBJECT: State Air Monitoring Results - October/November 1993
Enclosed is a summary of the ,air monitoring data collected in front
of tine Minturn Mi ddl e School by the State of Colcrado during the Faale
Mine remedial activities. These units were reactivated prior to the
beginning of the school session at the Minturn Middle School. This

Ten air monitoring samples during the October-November 1993 period
were invalidated because of operational problems. We have contacted
the maintenance operator and will correct these problems in the
future.
The air monitors in front of the school were deactivated for the
winter shutdown season the weekend of December 18. The December 1993
data will be forwarded to you upon receipt from the Department of
Health Lab. If you have questions about the air monitoring results,
please call me at 692-3396.

Transportation Manager
VAIL BUS SYSTEM CARRIES 3.1 MILLION PASSENGERS IN 1993,
(Vail)--The Town of Vail's free bus system carried 3.1 million passengers at an
average cost of 60 cents per rider in 1993. The year-end ridership figure is about
7,000 less than 1992 and continues a pattern of fluctuating growth for the 22 year old
transit system. Those fluctuations have ranged from 3 million riders in 1990, to a high
of 3.2 million riders in 1991. In 1992, the figure leveled off at 3.1 million.
The town spent about $1.9 million to run the system last year. Funding is derived
from the town's general fund. The transit budget for 1994 also is $1.9 million.
According to cost comparisons compiled by the town, the average cost per
passenger increased from 59 cents in 1992 to 60 cents last year, although the cost
per mile was reduced to $2.97 in 1993, compared to $3.01 in 1992.
The buses covered more miles in 1993 than in previous years, primarily because of
expanded service on the outlying routes. There were 632,741 miles logged in 1993;
622,809 in 1992; and 598,923 in 1991.
Expanded service last year also contributed to increased ridership on the East Vail
and West Vail routes. East Vail had 21 percent, or 73,809 more riders in 1993 than
(more)
1
Bus 1993/Add 1
the previous year. The increase in West Vail was 13 percent, or 59,172 more riders.
Ridership on the Sandstone route, however, was down 35%, or 62,055 riders from the
previous year.
Transportation officials don't know why the Sandstone route was down. "We've
been running that route at the same level--every 20 minutes--for the past few years,"
said Mike Rose, transportation manager. "Maybe our ridership has moved elsewhere,
or perhaps the private shuttles are picking up the difference. At this point, we really
can't be sure, so we'll continue to maintain our service levels on the route until we
determine otherwise."
Ridership on the intown shuttle experienced a slight decline with about 4 percent, or
77,687 fewer riders in 1993 than 1992.
The year also saw an increase in paratransit service from 10 riders in 1992 to 93
riders in 1993, and an experimental park and ride program at Dowd Junction which
netted 55 participants during the 10-day Christmas holiday period. Also, 1,064 bikes
were transported within the buses in 1993. Due to the demand, bike racks will be
installed this year on all buses which serve the outlying routes.
The Vail transit service is thought to be the largest free system in the nation.
The fleet consists of 35 operational vehicles and a paratransit van which is handicap
accessible. Of the 35 buses, three are equipped with lifts. The town currently
maintains a staff of 68 employees to handle the bus system during the winter season.

Ordinance No. 1, Series of 1994
MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: January 10, 1994
SUBJECT: A request to amend Section 18.69.050 -Special restrictions for developments
on lots where the average slope of the site beneath the proposed structure and
parking area is in excess of thirty percent in single family residential, two-family
residential, and two-family primary/secondary residential zones to allow
standards found in this section to apply to the Hillside Residential zone district.
Applicant: Town of Vail.
Planner: Andy Knudtsen
I. INTRODUCTION
Section 18.69.050 allows garages to.be located in the front setback, when the average slope
of the site beneath the proposed structure 'and parking area exceeds 30%. This flexibility is
limited to three zone districts:.single family, two-family, and two-family primary/secondary.
The staff is proposing to add Hillside Residential to this category.. Staff understands that the
purpose of this section of the code is to minimize site disturbance. By allowing garages in the
front setback, driveways that wind up steep hillsides can be avoided.
This section of the code was created in 1978 and has been amended in 1980, 1981 and
1982. Hillside Residential zoning was created in 1987. Staff believes that this section
pertaining to slope should be updated to include the Hillside Residential zone district.

III. RECOMMENDATION
The Hillside Residential zone district is one which staff believes should be included in this
section of the Zoning Code. Hillside Residential zoning has been applied to the Spraddle
Creek development,_as well as,_the proposed Trapper's Run development. These areas have
steep hillsides, Arid development in these areas should to be designed in ways to minimize
scarring. and site disturbance. Since. the goal of the section pertaining to sites exceeding 30%
into provide architects with more options to minimize impacts, staff believes that it should also
include the Hillside Residential zone district.

FR: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager
DA: January .14, 1994
RE: Town Manager Report for January 18, 1994, Regular Evening Meeting
This is a new agenda item which will be placed most of the agendas for regular evening Council
meetings. The purpose of this item is to update Council on organizational activities which
occurred the previous week and are not reported as specific agenda items. In most cases, these
items will be provided for your information and will not require decisions from Council.
Occasionally, there will be items which I bring to your attention which will ask for a decision or
direction from Council.
Eaale County Airport Tower
As you may have read in the papers this week, the Federal Aviation Administration has withdrawn
funding for a control tower at the Eagle County Airport. Eagle County feels this tower is very
important to the operation of the airport and is attempting to find funding to operate it through the
remainder of the ski season. Jack Lewis called last week and inquired as to whether TOV would
be interested in participating in the funding. He indicated that he was seeking funding sources
from Eagle County, the Town of Vail, the Town of Avon, Vail Associations, Inc. (VA), and the
Fixed Base Operator (FBO).
Although I do not have a specific request from Eagle County at this point in time, it is my feeling
the control tower is very important to the operation of the Eagle County Airport and feel, when
TOV receives a funding request, it should be given serious consideration.
Demonstration Projects
As you are aware, we recently met with CDOT and VA to discuss several demonstration projects.
At the direction of Harvey Atchison, Director of Transportation Development, we have forwarded
several letters requesting their participation in these projects. The fetters were faxed to CDOT
last Wednesday and they are in the process of reviewing them.
For your information, I have attached copies of the correspondence from Larry Grafel to CDOT.

Mr. Harvey Atchison
Director of Transportation Development .
Colorado Department of Transportation

Denver, Colorado 80222
Dear Harvey:
Thank you far taking the time last week to discuss and excha;~ge
exciting and innovative new ideas with us. It was ref res:~ing to
see and hear that the Colorado Department of Transportation (COOT)
is looking to the future. As we discussed, we are forwarding two.
projects that we would like to have COOT consider for demonstration
or model programs.
We think the Town of Vail (TOV) is a great place for transportatio^
demonstration programs because of our recognition as a leader in
innovative solutions, our commitment to alternative modes of
transportation, and a realization that reducing dependence on the
automobile will improve our air quality. This commitment can be
seen in the pedestrian villages, our extensive, Gore valley free
bus system, elaborate bike and pedestrian path system, and two
centralized paid parking structures. Since the mid 70's we have
competed and received federal and state funds. Projects completed
with these funds include a shop facility, bus fleet, and numerous
bridges throughout town. We are currently testing natural gas
powered vehicles, soy bean additives to diesel fuel, have been
approached with an electric inductive drive bus prototype, and we
are eager to test other ideas and technologies as well.
We are somewhat selfish in our commitment in that it enhances the
experience for those who live and visit here, it makes an awful lot
of economic and common sense and it improves our environment.
We think our projects are feasible and appropriate for
demonstration purposes at the upcoming Western Association of
State Highway and Transportation Officials (WASHTO) meeting in June
at Vail.
Finally, the people who live and visit here are very supportive of
our leading-edge, innovative,and open approach to ideas and
technology. We have and will continue to create public/private
partnerships to pursue those ideas and technologies. We are a
world community and the programs that we have in place become
models for other national and international communities.
Your support of these projects is enthusiastically sought. Please
let us know when we may proceed with CDOT as partners at your
earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
LARRY GRAFEL
Director of Public Works and Transportation
PROPOSAL I
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT MODERN ROUNDABOUTS AT MAIN VAIL AND
WEST VAIL INTERCHANGES
Overview
We believe Modern Roundabout technology provides a viable
solution to current safety, congestion, geometric, and circulation
problems that we experience at the Main Vail interchange and four-
way stop, and at the West Vail interchange. Both of these
interchanges service I-70 and the state owned frontage roads that
serve as Vail's main traffic routes. We have done extensive
research and have hired an engineer to .begin the feasibility and
preliminary design work with the ultimate objective being to
construct these roundabouts, at each intersection, during the
summer of 1999.
These modern roundabouts are different from the common traffic
circle iri that they; increase safety; are low cost; small in size;
operate at slow speeds; entering traffic yields only to their left;
and have a Yiigh through capacity. The Maryland Department of
Transportation currently has adopted these as a preferred solution
at intersections before signalization. Long Beach, California has
installed one and there are several others that have been installed
throughout the country.
Project Cost
Since we believe so strongly in this roundabout solution and
also recognize that it has a lot of potential for application
within Colorado, we would like to invite CDOT to become partners
with us in developing and constructing this demonstration project
in Vail. Our preliminary. rough cost estimate to improve these two
interchange areas is $1 million. The Town of Vail has in it's
current capital budget $500,000 to be-used for this project. Our
proposal is to have CDOT finance the other half of the project and'
to provide approval. We think if this project is fast tracked we
could have one available by June 1994 to demonstrate. Our ability
to accomplish this would be heavily dependent upon the design,
review and approval processes that would be imposed by CDOT/others.
Conclusion
We are ready to move ahead on this and begin the CDOT
coordination with whomever you designate. We will 'forward
separately the information we have concerning the modern roundabout
for you and/or your staff review. Larry Grafel, The Director of
Public Works and Transportation and/or Greg Hall, the Town Engineer
are prepared to assist in making this project happen once approval
is obtained from CDOT.
PROPOSAL II
FINANCE, DESIGN, INSTALL, and TEST AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE
LOCATION (AVL) SYSTEM FOR THE VAIL TRANSIT SYSTEM
Overview of current system
The Town of Vail (TOV) operates the largest free bus system in
the United states and is the second largest bus system in the state
of Colorado with an annual ridership of 3.3 million passengers.
The system is divided into three sections, an intown shuttle, East
Vail, and West Vail. The intown shuttle services the
hotel/business district with connecting service to our two parking
structures which are owned by the TOV. The outlying routes serve
residential and commercial properties. There are 17 bus stops on
the intown route and 27 on the outlying system. The intown shuttle
is 3.5 miles, East Vail 15 miles, and West Vail 9 miles in
roundtrip mileage. In 1993 the system provided 61,670 hours of
service and traveled 632,741 miles
The fleet is comprised of 32 TMC and Orion buses ranging in
length from 35 to 37 feet, total seating capacity for the entire
fleet is 1018. Staff consists of a Transportation manager, an
Operations coordinator,.3 Supervisors, 12 full time and 40 seasonal
drivers. All maintenance is performed by the TOV fleet maintenance
division of Public Works.
Response to peak demands at various stops throughout the
system and overall coordination of the daily operations is being
done by two-way radio. The spacing of 10-12 buses on the intown
route depends on clear communication regarding interval, dwell and
route time, and location reports between the drivers and
supervisory staff. This breaks down frequently, causing
inefficiency on a high volume operation. The overall performance
of the system is degraded in capacity, efficiency and
effectiveness. This results in a system that is at capacity and at
times pushed over the edge.
The Future
The TOV has made a sizeable capital investment and commitment
to its rubber tired fleet to solve the transportation needs of the
community, this technology however is reaching its limit as it now
stands. New technologies have been studied in the past, elevated
tramway, fixed rail, people movers, to name a few. But with the
high expense of these systems and the limited space available to
deploy these systems, the town has moved to improve the existing
rubber tire system to its fullest. We have changed to perimeter
seating to accommodate larger loads while reducing dwell times, we
are currently developing bid documents to purchase low floor,
multi-door buses, and we have studied many vehicle tracking systems
to make our transportation system more efficient. Ultimately,
through small increments of change, we would like to build an
Intelligent Vehicle Network.
{
r ' ,
Our goal for the future is to incorporate various current any
evolving technologies to increase the quality of the bus system, s~
that people will want to use public transit rather than their car.
This goal makes both economic as well as environmental sense, Tre
TOV sees the implementation of a AVL demonstration as a logica_
next step to achieving our goal.
Vail AVL System Requirements
Locate Vehicles
Capability to provide staff real time real time, time, distance,
and location information so that fleet usage can be maximized..
Data needs to be recorded to provide productivity, efficiency, and
economic analysis. We envision using both the Global Positioning
System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology as
the key components for the AVL system. Modular, plug in-plug out
system configuration would be ideal.
Command, Control, and Communication (C3)
Capability to provide bus to bus and bus to command center
communication. Enhances supervisory control with real time
decision making as situations develop. Provide for a visual
display of entire route system with locations, time and distance
data. provide for control of future interactive bus stops that
would provide arrival times and other information to customers of
the system. A interconnected video camera and recording system
that allows us to take the high ground and see traffic, weather,
and crowd conditions as they develop.
Technology that is expandable and upgradable
Initially, the AVL system will be for transit, but in the future it
would include the police, fire, ambulance , public works, water and
sanitation, with ultimate expansion opportunities into the private
sector to include mountain operations, mountain rescue, etc. As
AVL technologies improve, the system would need to be capable of
those modular upgrades.
Maximize current ,communication equipment
The TOV currently owns a fairly extensive radio (Motorola) system.
Utilization of this system, if compatible, would reduce costs and
is highly desirable.
A complete and useable system
The AVL system must include all Hardware; software, training and
the vendor should exhibit the ability to service the system after
installation
Conclusion
This demonstration project would fit nicely into the
Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) test bed along the I-70
corridor. We think it is possible to develop private/public
involvement in this project although no money has been budgeted to
accomplish this. Our understanding is that there are Federal funds
available to support IVHS testing and that would be our preferred
source of funds. We have received a concept proposal from Motorola
that I will send separately. Although there are other vendors in
the AVL business, we currently utilize_Motorola as our backbone for
our existing communication system. I might add that Mr. Bob
Galvin, the CEO of Motorola is a part time resident of- Vail and
there may be some opportunity to explore that public/private
relationship.
The TOV points of contact for this proposal are Larry Grafel,
Director of Public Works and Transportation, and/or Mike Rose,
Transportation Manager.
