RE: Next Week's Work Session
As you know, I will not be at the 22 FQb meeting, and Z wanted
to provide eome input on two of the agenda items:
VAIL CdlmUNS ~
1. TOTAL ECONQMIC REDEVELdpMENT PRDJECT: The plan should not
only focus on the Vail Commons I,and but the entire commercial
area between the Brandess Buildiny to wendy's. Let's not
just build another "strip mall" but involve the other
developers there to create a"unique ngw',' architectu~T' ally
integrated Cammercialjresidential community with improvec1
tra f f ia f low,,parking, attracti.ve lighting, and retall
exciteme,nt -
2. BELOCATE THE HRANDESS HUILDING: While maybe difficult and
at first seeminqYy impossible, we should explore the
passibility Qf tearing down the Brandess Buflding, offering
improved space for those tenants in the new camplex, and
leavinq that eastern lot as park/open sgace 3and.
3. Nb FIRE STATIpN: WhiZe,:there is strong interest/r?eed in
putting a fire statian on vaiZ CQmmons, let's find a more
aApropriate A1est Vai1 lpGation, like by tihe gas atationg.
FirB station9 make poor-neighbars, and there are many other
- more important things to.add.:to this relatf.vely small pieae
of land, -
4. PRdVIDE BROAD MIX OF AFFORDABLB HQUSING: Since we have so
few other gaoc3 lacations, et s maximize the density ...BUT,..
at the same time maintaining,goafl quality and attracting
a gvod economic/demographic.mix of potential buyers/renters.
A large number of cheap cook`ie cutter units is a bad idea.
Let's offer a variety af sizes and prices far families,
singles, yaunq married:;and,;winter rentals, etc.
4
5. IMPROVED RETAIL OPPORTUNITY:;;A larger/imprQVed Safeway will
ba a major plus. But attracti:ng another major "anchar stare"
oould tip the balaace of local retail activity back'up valley
away from Avonf provic33ng the town and our residents with
increased economic.atability'anfl convenience.

fi. OTHER AGTIVITIES:
bAY CARg is a growing popular lacal need. Let's relocate,
expand, and improve the Mt Bell facility down ta Vail .
Commpna.
° PARAING shauld best be undergraund or in an attractive
structure to not only meet the cvmmon needs of all the
shdppers arid residents but as a potential PARfC N' RIDE
spat for dovan valley based Vail employees.
° SZSZLS: Can we add something there to create more life •
and interest; tttaybe an ice rink, theatre, bowling alley,
pool... -
GOALS i OHJ$CTIVSS ~
Last niqht's session was gQOd work;; but in retraspect, I think
we focused too much on being economic Czars. At most, TOV shauld
pravide some direction and opportunity, but shonld not get tao
mueh involved with specific business types. Let the market
resdlve that.
dn the balance of the items:
ENVIRONMENTo D. Z'd like to see a spec3fic five year plan
witri speci.fie gaa.ls including a commitment to completely
"reforest" the Vail floor, planting 10,000 trees a year
thraugh oombined effcrts of the town, other group$, and some
type of property owner.incentive.FINANCIAL PERFQRMANCE: Let's fpllow Merv's comments and start
Iooking/planning much longer term:_and explore what "no debt"
will mean to Vail's future..-

Vail Associates, Inc. February 17, 1994 Creators and Operators of Vail and Beaver Creeko Resorts
Dear Vail Valley business leader,
As you may have read in this past Friday's Vail Daily, we have a unique and immediate opportunity to
eBect summer air service via American Airlines into Eagle beginning as soon as June 16, 1994.
American has agreed to a 52-day summer flight season wluch would set the pace for years of continued air
capacity into Eagle year-around.
A group of concerned business leaders have gathered and are volunteering their time to solicit financial
commitment, in both hard and soft dollars, so that we have a unified ownership in the benefits of the air
service. A number of other communities, including Jackson Hole and several Caribbean Islands have
committed similarly to such ait programs. '
We must have letters of commitment for $700,000 by Wednesday, February 23 to assure flight service.
Rough estimates of pledges so far, following a ineeting held at the Westin Hotel yesterday, indicate that
we have over $200,000 verbally committed from various entities within the community.
Financial commitments work, simply; as, follows: A small, medium or large business is asked to commit
at a$5000, $10,000, or $20,000 level respectively. Only 10% of that pledge needs to be paid up-front
prior to the initiation of air service: If revenues derived exceed expenses, no payment will be due. If -
revenues fall short of eapenses, the community pays American Airlines the shortfall. American Airlines
has agreed to accept the risk of any shortfall beyond $630,000. We are optimistic that with proper,
aggressive and col(ective marketing by the community, that the potential down-side would be moderate.
A pledge form is attached and we wouid ask that you take serious note of the request and fax it back to us
at your very earliest convenience. We truly want to position the Eagle summer airlines program as a
community-based and collective effort. In that way we can ensure its success. If you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to phone any of us:

Re: Berry Creek Site
Dear Tom:
This will follow up on our recent telephone conversation concerning tying up the
"loose ends" with respect to the above-referenced matter.
I have enclosed duplicate originals of the following instruments:
1. Cetter of Intent Regarding Berry Creek Site dated January 5, 1994.
2. Ground Lease dated January 6, 1994.
3. Joint Use Agreement dated January 6, 1994.
If you would be kind enough to have Howard Gardner and the Authority's Secretary
execute both sets of these instruments and then forward them on to:
Dr. Mel Preusser
Eagle County School District RE-50J
P.O. Box 740
Eagle, Colorado 81631 ' Mel can obtain the necessary signatures and return one original set of documents
to you and retain one original set of documents at the District's Offices.
We agreed that, under paragraph 5 of the Letter of Intent, the District's Board
of Education has the authority to "not do the deal" if, in the Board's
discretion, fails to approve a completed feasibility study. In liglit of that,
we agreed that the Ground Lease should not be recorded until the following
occurred:
1. The District's Board of Education formally approved the feasibility study;
2.. We were able to insert a specific legal description of the approximately
11.5 acres of real property which are the subject of the Lease as Exhibit 6 to
the Ground Lease; and,
3. We were able to substitute a more specific Conceptual Site Plan as Exhibit
C to the Ground Lease.

January 5, 1994
Mr. Howard Gardner, Chairman
Eagle County Recreation Authority '
75 South Frontage Road
Vail, Colorado 81657
Re: Letter of Intent Regarding Berry Creek School Site
Dear Howard:
This is to advise you that this Letter of Intent was formally approved by the
Board of Education of Eagle County School District RE-50J (District) at its
regular monthly meeting on September 8, 1993. As you know, the terms of this
Letter were previously informally approved by the Eagle County Recreation
Authority (Authority) at its meeting on August 12, 1993 (and ratified by the Town
Council of the Town of Vail at its meeting on August 24, 1993). Subsequent to
these dates, the parties have reached other agreements which have been
incorporated into this letter. The Authority and the District have agreed as
follows:
1. RECITALS. The Authority is.the fee simple owner of a 105-acre parcel of
real property located in Eagle County, Colorado. Because of growth in the
District's student enrollment, the District is seeking to find a site on which
to construct a new elementary or middle school. The parties have reached concep-
tual agreement that construction of a new school on approximately 11.5 acres of
the westerly portion of the Authority's parcel would be to the mutual advantage
of both parties in that the Authority would be able to jointly use portions of
both the site and the school building without incurring out-of-pocket construc-
tion expenses and that, in consideration therefor, the District would be able to
1 ease the si te wi thout payment to the Authori ty except for the Di stri ct i ncurri ng
development expenses estimated to be approximately $755,170 for improvements
which are unique to the site, except for the District incurring additional
expenses estimated to be $1,200,000 to build a full-size gymnasium and a separate
public locker room with rest room facility access at this site, and except for
a nominal annual lease payment. Such development costs are set fo.rth on the
attached EXHIBIT A. Some portion of such expenses would be incurred by the
District at other school sites, however, the Authority will not incur these
expenses for its own purposes if the District builds at this site.
2. LEGAL DESCRIPTION. The legal description of the Authority's 105-acre parcel
is set forth on the attached EXHIBIT B. The approximate location of the 11.5-
acre parcel which is the subject of this Agreement (referred to in this Agreement
as the Berry Creek Site) is as shown on the Conceptual Site Plan which is
attached as EXHIBIT C.
3. ACREAGE, USE AND OWNERSHIP OF SITE. The parties anticipate and agree that
the 11.5 acres within the Berry Creek Site will be allocated into three Parcels,
A, B and C, as follows:
Mr. Howard Gardner
January 5, 1994
Page 2
Approx.
No. of
Parcel Acres Anticipated Use' Ownership
A 5.0 School building Leased by Authority to District
Appurtenant structures pursuant to a ground lease. The
Parking lots lease shall terminate at such time
as the District ceases to use
Parcel A as a public school.Z
B 5.0 Playing fields Leased by Authority to District
Athletic fields pursuant to a ground lease. The
Parking lots lease shall terminate at such time
as the District ceases to use the
adjacent Parcel A as a public
school.3
C 1.5 Roads Authority with the Authority
granting the District non-
exclusive easements for ingress
and egress to Parcels A and B.4
'The District understands and agrees that its use of the Berry Creek Site will
require the installation of appropriate fencing (at the District's expense) to
separate the Site from adjacent properties, including the railroad and pasture
land.
2The consideration for such lease will be part of the District's expenditure of
approximately $1,955,170 for improvements to the Berry Creek Site which are
unique to the Site, and for construction of a full-size gymnasium and a separate
public locker room with rest room facility access, all of which will be a direct
benefit to the Authority. The District agrees that it will maintain the
gymnasium, the locker room and the playing and athletic fields on Parcels A and
B during the term of the ground lease.
36ecause the District will be expending significant amounts to develop, operate
and maintain Parcel B to the mutual benefit of the Authority, the District and
the citizens of the area, the lease payment to the Authority shall be $1.00 per
year. The parties agree to engage-in good faith negotiations concerning specific
provisions of such ground lease.
4The parties acknowledge that Parcel C will be used for private roads providing
ingress and egress to the school building, etc. The Authority will retain owner-
ship of these roads which will be constructed at District expense. Initially,
these roads will be maintained at the District's expense. However, as the
remaining portions of the Authority's acreage are developed by the Authority or
others, the responsibility and expense for maintaining the roads shall be
reallocated between the District and the Authority (or other users or lessees)
based upon their respective uses.

4. IRRIGATION WATER. The Authority agrees to furn"ish necessary treated or
untreated water to the District for those portions of Parcel B which require
i rri gati on at no cost to the Authori ty and as 1 ong as the Authori ty does not need
such water for its own purposes. The District acknowledges that it may in the
future be required to buy treated water or rent or buy water rights to untreated
water for such purposes.
5. FEASIBILITY STUDY/PERIODIC REPORTS. The District's Board has formally
approved initiation of a comprehensive and detailed study to determine the
feasibility of construction of a new school on the Berry Creek Site. The
District will make periodic reports to the Authority's Board of Directors on the
progress and status of such feasibility study at critical stages of such study.
The purpose of such reports shall be to update the Authority's directors on the
District's plans, to hear the concerns of the Authority's directors, if any, and
to ensure that the District's plans are compatible with the purposes of this
Agreement. In this regard, it is the intention of the District to develop
specific conceptual plans concerning the type and size of the school to be

Mr. Merv Lapin
Councilman - Town of Vail

Vail, CO 81657
Dear Merv,
I just want to let you and the council know how appreciative
I am of the new evening parking rules that were adopted this
year. The additional free hours now available if you enter
the structures after 6:00 PM is absolutely a terrific idea.
My experience with my friends and house guests is that this
new rule has encouraged more business to remain in Vail and
not go down valley.
I know you miss the funds lost for adopting these new hours,
but I definitely feel it is worth it. The slow down in
business throughout the Vail valley this year highlights how
competitive the tourist ski business has become. The
toughest competitor for our restaurants is just 10 miles
down the road - Avon and Beaver Creek.
I am very pleased to see the council give a break to the
locals and }ourists alike. I would appreciate your
circulating this letter to your fellow council members.
Cordi y,
Rob Ford

Dear Council Members,
For the past two years I have enjoyed the opportunity to serve the Town cf
Vail's interests by serving on the Board of Directors for Channei 5. It has been
enlightening and a valuable learning experience for me, and, I hope, productive
for the Town.
I now find myself, however, involved in many other personal interests, and
feel it would serve the Town's interests if someone with more time and new ideas
and enthusiasm could step in at this time. I have notified Frian Hall and told
him of my decision to resign from the Board of Directors effective immediately.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to serve on this Board. I look forward
serving the Town in new and challenging assignments as they accur.

FROM: Booth Creek Local Improvement District Homeowners
RE: "Vail Trail" article of January 14, 1994 discussing the "East Vail Berm Suit."
Dear Members of the Vail Town Council:
While most of you have probably seen the article in the Vail Trail on January 14, 1994, I am
enclosing an extra copy for those of you that have not. I am also enclosing a copy of the financial
information that was provided to us by the Town of Vail in the meeting last summer. The
purpose of this letter is to further comment on the context of the article.
Dr. Steinberg's comment that the "value of our homes was almost zero" prior the construction
of the berm is simply not true. Additionally, we submit that the Town of Vail "created" the
hazard zone with the instant result that all property values in the neighborhood dropped.
Perhaps the Town should have been concerned about the rock fall hazard before allowing the
subdivision to be developed.
In reference to the "favorable" interest rates the Town was able to procure for its citizens, the
Town of Vail only agreed to refinance the bonds at the current lower rate after pressure from
the homeowners. We shou{d be grateful to get a rate that any person who walks into a bank could
have obtained? One would hope that the Town would attempt to get the lowest rate possible for
its citizens as a matter of course.
As regards the Town's "reluctant" undertaking of the construction project, let it be known that
the homeowners in the district were willing to manage the construction ourselves but were
prohibited from the task by the Town of Vail.
As citizens and taxpayers of the Town of Vail, we felt it important that the berm be constructed
for the safety of our homes and families and to restore our property values. We accepted a bid
for this project, with a 15% cost overrun provision. No one is disputing that we pay that
amount. That we should gratefully pay an additional 32% just because our houses are now worth
more (along with all Eagte County real estate) was not part of the contract. Nor was it our
agreement that we should pay for the Town's mismanagement. If govemment makes mistakes or
errors in judgement, engages non-performing contractors, commits to the unreasonable and
unnecessary expenditures of funds, then such costs are borne by all taxpayers, not a select few.
Had there been any communication from the Town of Vail Management to the homeowners in the
district informing us of the problems with the project and the rapidly accruing interest, we
believe that alternative forms of financing and payment could have been worked out. We were -
not given that option.
Sincerely yours,
Booth Creek Local Improvement District Homeowners._

COLORADO DISCRETIOIVARI( AVIATIOfV ~
GRi4NT CYCLE REVISED
In recent correspondence to airports and aviation, facilities in the State, Colorado Aeronautical Board(CA6)
. chairman, Mike Rock cited the limitations imposed by Amendment I, as well as falling revenues from jet fuel
sales taxes, as the primary causes for re-scheduling of Colorado Discretionary Aviation Grant (CDAG) hearings
from mid-February to early October 1994.
Mr. Rock indicated that the delay in the opening of the new Denver International Airport has also brought about
tess-than-anticipated increases in jet fuel tax revenues. Additionally, the decline in international crude oil prices
from above $20.00 a barrel to under $15.00 are expected to be reflected in future jet fuel sales tax contributions, ,
which are based. on the cost to the consumer at the pump. . Another vital consideration coloring the CAB's decision to delay the awarding of funds is an attempt to bring
the grant cycles into sync with the limited construction season in Colorado. Airport projects not ready for construction by early summer are unlikely to be completed within the season. This leads to an increasing
number of incomplete projects which remain from previous CDAG cycles. Some projects nearly two. years old
look to the coming summer for completion.
, The amended grant award schedule hopes to bring a larger single pool of available resources to the grant hearings, while allowing airports to plan for maximum utilization of funding during limited construction periods.

Fax: 1-845-9135 RE: Archdiocese Pazish Site
Dear Ms. Osterfoss
This is to follow-up on a recent meeting with Bob McLaurin and Monsignor Dentici's contacts
to you about the mission of the Archdiocese relative to lower-cost employee housing in the Vail
area. This letter is to express the interest by the Catholic Archdiocese in working with you, the
Town of Vail and the shareholders in the Berry Creek Fifth Filing to determine the potential for:
. • A 10 to 15 acre site for a parish, K-8 school and related facilities and
• Evaluating the potential to develop and manage 50 to 70 units of low cost housing.
I helieve thut therc is a pote..tial for the r.eeds and interests of Lhe Archdiocese to c;,mplement
the public agenda at the Berry Creek Fifth Filing. For example, the Archdiocese could help
solve the site's infrastructure and access problems as well as respond to the community's ongoing
housing needs. The Archdiocese wants to own, and intends to pay - either in cash or in site
improvements, for the parish and school site.
Relative to the non-profit housing, in order to achieve the target rent rates, it would be necessary
for the land to be donated and to obtain additional development concessions. The Archdiocese
would bring its credibility, development and management expertise, and its non-profit financial
abilities to the development.
There is some urgency at the Archdiocese to pin down their new parish site, and we are
considering several possibilities. Therefore, we should move as quickly as possible if there is
any potential for a match between the Archdiocese and the Berry Creek parcel. Please let me
know if and how I can help. •

RE: Contribution Request Equaling $10,000.00 from 1994 RETT Funds •
Dear Helen:
In responding to your request for the 1994 contribution funding from the Vail Town Council, I found
this money had been designated as a pledge.
The Council wishes to clarify in writing the disposition of these funds. Payment shail be broKen into
two portions, as follows: '
1. $5,000.00 shall be tied to the design review process, e.g., the Council recagnizes the
substantial cost of design work and will contribute this money up front.
2. The second half of the contribution, $5,000.00, will be tied to the issuance of a building
. permit.
The Council is extremely supportive of your continuing efforts to beautify the Ford Park area and will
look forward to receiving further updates on your schedule for design work and construction as that
becomes available to you. .
In regard to your agreement with the Town of Vail, the Town Council has agreed that you should have
a Lease Agreement rather than a License. They have directed Tom Moorhead to prepare a lease for
your consideration.
Helen, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincer ly,

Many of you are aware that Congress passed new appeal regulations for decisions -
. concerning National Forest lands. These new regulations went into effect on
January 3, 1994. I am writing to make sure that each of you are familiar with
. the new regulations and some changes we are making to comply with them.
As in the past we will continue to send interested partiea scoping letters
early in the analysis procesa to determine issues for specific projects. These
isauea will help drive the analysis process.. Also comments will be accepted
anytime during the analysis process. When a Draft Environmental Assessment and
Draft Decision.Notice have been completed, individuals who provided comments
during scoping will be notified as well as a legal notice will be published in
a local newepaper. This notification will etart a thirty-day comment period
with copies of the draft documents available for your review. All comments
received during this comment period will be addressed and placed in an
Appendix to the Environmental Assessment. At the completion of this step a
decision may be made or the proposed action may be modified and a new comment
period will be initiated.
The signing of the decision document will start a 45-day appeal period.
Several changes have been made in the appeal process and when implementation of
a decision may occur. If a project receives no expression of interest during
the entire analysis process (from scoping to comment period) it may not be
appealed and may be implemented immediately when the decision is published in
the paper of record. If a project receives an expression of interest but no
appeal is filed on the decision within the close of the 45-day appeal period,
implementation may occur on, but not before, 5 business days from the close of
the period. If an appeal is filed, implementation may occur within 15 days
after disposition of the appeal unless the decision is remanded back to the
analyais process.
In order to appeal a decision, someone must have "standing". Standing is
defined by the Forest Service as participation in the project analysis by
either submitting a comment during.the comment period or "otherwise" expressing
interest in a project at any time prior to elose of the comment period.
~
This new process will increase the time involved to analyze and make a
decision. Therefore, the analysis procesa will begin much earlier than in.the
past in order that the best possible analysis can be completed and so projects
can be implemented in a timely.manner. So with that in mind many of you have
received in the past month requests for comments on aeveral propoaed timber
salea. Several additional requests will be sent to you in the next several
montha. Some of you may interpret these requeats as an increase in the amount of timber
sold on the Holy Cross District and White River National Forest based on the
number of requests you receive. I want to assure each and everyone of you that
this is not the aase. The volume of timber sold on this district and the
forest as a whole remains the eame as it has in the past. Some of the requests
you will receive wi1T be for timber sales scheduled for 1995, some for 1996,
and even some for 1997. But as mentioned before this new process requires
longer time periods for the analysis and the decision-making process. This new
process is designed to provide more interaction between.you as an interested
party and the Forest Service in designing acceptable projects to both.
I look forward_to your continued interest and participation in the
decision-making process on the Holy Cross Ranger District. If you have nay
questions feel free to give me a call.
Sincerely;
WILLIAM A. WOOD District Ranger

Work Session Briefs
--PEC/DRB Interviews
Candidates for vacancies on the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) and
Design Review Board (DRB) were interviewed with final selection announced at the
evening meeting.
--Memorial Plaque at Stephens Park
The council approved a proposal to install a plaque on a bench at Stephens Park in
memory of Elizabeth.Burks, the two-year-old who was killed in a car-pedestrian
accident on Sept. 11, 1993. The memorial was requested by members of Elizabeth's

For details, contact Dawn Melendez or Nora Murbach at 479-9500.
--Town of Vail Mission, Vision, Goals
The discussion was postponed to the evening session.
--Trappers Run
Also yesterday, the council authorized an independent review of the Trappers Run
Environmental Impact Report prepared by the project's developers, and staff
comments associated with the report. The review will require three types of
consultants: transportation, soils and environmental/land use. The studies will cost
between $9,000 and $15,000 collectively, and are expected to be completed within the
next 45 days. The Trappers Run project is a 48-acre parcel in the northwestern-most
portion of Vail. Gateway Development, Inc., of Englewood, is seeking the town's
permission to develop 30 lots on the property, which is zoned hillside residential.
Opponents of the project have presented a petition to the Town Council asking the
town to purchase the land as open space. For more information on the independent
review, contact Russell Forrest in the Community Development Office at 479-2138.

Mr. Gary Arthur, President
Gateway Development, Inc.
2303 East Dartmouth Avenue
Englewood, CO 801 10
RE: Preliminary review of amended Trappers Run Subdivision appiication
Dear Gary: Thank you for your most recent amended Trappers Run preliminary subdivision application.
The Town of Vail Development Review Team has completed our initiai review and have
determined that your application is incomplete. In order for the planning staff to
adequately review the impacts of your proposed major subdivision, we request that you _
respond to the foifowing list of questions and comments. This letter identifies the lack of
response, or inadequate response, to the questions and comments raised in our previous
letter dated October 25, 1993 as weil as, requests additional information necessary to
review the amendments you have made to the subdivision since our last review. This
letter should not be construed to be a complete list of all staff comments related to the
project, but rather an identification of additional information necessary for staff to
adequately review your proposed preliminary subdivision application. .
- Attached to this letter are additionai review comments made by the Town of Vail Public
Works Department, Fire Department and Environmentai Health Department. We request
that you review and respond to each of the comments listed in these attachments.
Staff would recommend that you pay speciaf attention to completing your Environmental
Impact Report which currently does not contain information and analysis, in sufficient
, detail to enabfe the staff and Pianning and Environmental Commission (PEC) to assess the
environmental impacts of the proposed project. Deficiencies in the EIR or base data are
indicated in bold in order to differentiate them from other comments.
1. Perhaps the most significant deficiency of your application is the fact that
your Environmental Impact Report does not adequately address alternatives.
1
~ •
Various development atternatives must be evaluated throughout the
Environrrientai Impact Report which ultimately pravide a justification to
y praceed with the preferred alternative. An "a(ternative" section must be
' added to yaur EIR which exp(ores, in d::tail, thP impacts of alternative road
~ alignments to and within the subdivision, as well as different development
scenarios with regard to the number of the lots.
• 2. Another concern with yaur Environmental Impact Report is that it appears
that each of the studies prepared by your consu(tants were done
independently of each other and not cross-referenced throughout the
documc:nt. Many of the consu(tants do not appear to be aware of the
identified impacts, conclusions and suggested mitigatian measures contained .
in the other sections.of the report. An example of this would include the
fact that it is suggested that a substantial portion of the property be
dewatered through grading and piping yet possible impacts of this procedure
are not discussed in any other section of the report. Please provide a
statement from each consultant in their section which indicates that they.
have reviewed the entire Environmental Impact Report and are aware of the
effects af the proposed p~oject as a whole. Cross-references identifying the
impacts of suggested mitigation in other sections af the report should be
made wherever applicable. For examp(e, it would be appropriate for the
consultant doing the vegetation analysis to discuss impacts associated with
the proposed dewatering of the fandslide area.
3. As mentioned in the October 25, 1993 letter, it is necessary to provide a
' page numbering system throughout the document to allow reference to
. specific sections. Please number all pages in the Environmental fmPact
, . Report.
4. Staff has serious reservations concerning your decision to prohibit caretaker
units within the Trappers Run Subdivision. The Town encourages the
provision of affordable housing whenever and wherever possible. Your
. proposed deletion of caretaker units in the subdivision would permanently
preclude the opportunity for future lot owners to provide reasonably sized, -
. . affordable housing units to employees in the Vail Valley. If your decision to
propose the deletion of all caretaker units in Trappers Run is prompted by
your desire to reduce traffic impacts on Cortina Lane, staff would suggest
that you accomplish this by reducing your proposed number of lots rather
than the deletion of caretaker units.
5. At the November 8, 1993 PEC worksession, all seven PEC members
expressed concerns with the number of lots in your proposed project and
associated environmental impacts on the Trappers Run property. Each of the
members suggested a significant reduction in the number of lots you were
proposing on the property (30). It is staff's opinion that your proposal to
eliminate the provision of caretaker units on each of the thirty lots, does not
address the PEC's concerns since the road, retaining wall, and building
construction impacts are virtually unchanged. The most appropriate way to
. 2
}
i. .
i i
, address the PEC's concerns regarding density reduction is not through the
deletion of caretaker units but through a reduction in number of lots being
: proposed on this property, in order to decrease environmental impacts.
6. Staff recommends that the two plat restrictions you are proposing to place
: on the final plat he amended to eliminate plat restriction #2 and to amend
plat restriction #1 as follows:
1. The development of all lots within Trappers Run Subdivision
shall comply with Section 18.69.050 of the Vail Municipal
Code except that the maximum GRFA ailowed on each lot shall
be 4,781 square feet, however an additional 425 square feet
of GRFA shall be allowed if a caretaker unit is constructed.
7. As you are aware, the minimum lot area within the Hil(side Residentiaf zone
district is 21,780 square feet of contiguaus buildab(e area. It does not
appear that all of the lots in this subdivision meet the minimum contiguous
buildable area requirement. Please amend the Land Use Summary on the
Preliminary Plot Plan (sheet 2 of 9) to list the maximum contiguous buildab(e ,
area of each of the proposed lots. This chart must be certified by a licensed
surveyor.
8. As suggested by the PEC, staff, and the general public at the August 9,
1993 and November 8, 1993 worksessions, as well as in my letter to you
. dated October 25, 1993, the provision of useable open space within the
. subdivision is very important. Although you show five open space tracts
within this subdivision, staff believes that for various reasons (steep slopes,
lack of adequate access, etc.), these open space tracts are not in fact
useable to any great degree. by residents of the subdivision, their guests, or
the general public. 9. As previously requested and assuming you are still proposing building
envelopes, yaur preliminary plot p(an must be amended to show actual
_ building envelopes. No building envelope may be located closer than 20 feet
• from the lots front property line nor 15 feet from any other property line.
Please amend your design guidelines to state that all portions of proposed
structures must be located within building envelopes and delete the section
in your design guidelines which states that 80% of propased building
footprints shall be located within a 45 foot radius of a building envelope's
center point. The building envelopes must be staked on site for staff to .
review. This information will also allow you to provide estimated driveway
grades for the lots.
10. It appears that the BLM (now USFS) road easement across Lot 16 is not in
the actual location of the existing dirt road which extends from the end of
Cortina Lane to the west. Staff requests that you amend your Preliminary
Plot Plan to provide a new public access easement in the actual location of
3
• . ~ .
3
the existing dirt road.
- 11. As requested on Page 1 of the October 25, 1993 fetfer, please provide
detailed information of the proposed 150,000 gallon water storage tank. As
; current(y drawn an the Preliminary Utility Plan (sheet 4 of 5), your proposed
water tan{c is too wide to fiit within the 24 foot wide access ancl vsrater
easement focated along the nortilern portion of Lot 27. Please pravide a
letter from Upper Eagle Val(ey Consolidated Water and Sanitation Districts
stating that they have reviewed and approved your preliminary utility ptan.
12. The water resources section of your Environmenta! Impact Report states that
a copy ot the hydrologic ana(ysis and the detailed drainage plan has been included. However, we have not received a copy of these documents. .
P{ease provide a detailed drainage plan, hydraulic analysis and details related
. to al( proposed sediment ponds referred to in your Environmental Impact
Report.
13. P(ease provide Michael Claffey's (Army Corps of Engineers) written response
to Loren Hettinger's request for a decision regarding the Corps' need for a
404 permit related to the proposed subdivision plans. This letter should
include evidence that Mr. Claffey has been provided with and has reviewed a
copy of the construction drawings related to the project.
14. Please provide detailed drawings of the three storm filtration tanks as well as
the three bridges being proposed. Your Slope and Site Disturbance Plan
does not appear to accurate(y reflect the amount of site disturbance
associated with the installation of the three bridges or the water tank.-
15. P(ease describe to whom the 24 foot wide access and water easement along
the northern property line of Lot 27 will be dedicated on the final plat.
16. Your preliminary utility plan shows a number of storm water inlets which
appear to dump storm water directly onto individual lots, and not within
platted drainage easements. Please explain this situation. In addition, the
. storm drains crossing Lots 22 and 28 would also appear to direct storm
water onto US Forest Service and Colorado Department of Transportation.
property. Staff would discourage you from depositing storm water from
Trappers Road onto adjacent properties.
17. Your consulting engineering geologist suggests that buildings, roads and
other structural features may be built within the identified landslide area on
. the property and suggests that the hazard will be reduced 6y restabilizing the
landslide with appropriate grading, piping and dewatering. Please provide
construction details as to how the grading, piping and dewatering of the area
will be accomplished. It is likely that the proposed dewatering of a large
section of the Trappers Run property will have an effect on surrounding
vegetation. The impact of the proposed dewatering plan must be addressed
in the vegetation section of your environmental impact report as we(I as any
4
othcr section which may be impacted by the proposed dewatering plan.
18. Rather than providing detaifs of typica( road cross sections at various points
throughout the subdivision, staff needs to review actuai cross sections of the
road at all locations where one or more tiers of retaining walls are located.
The specific design and engineering, materials and associ3ted fandscaping for
the retaining walls musfi be specified. Additionally, pleasp amend your plan
to show retaining walls with a different symbol. Currentiy, the solid line
retaining wall symbol matches the property line symbol and are difficult to
easily differentiate. AI( proposed retaining walt locations on the Trappers
Run property must be staked on-site for staff review.
19. The disturbance associated with the 20 foot sewer line easement which runs
between Lots 3 and 4 and then heads east down the existing drainage way
to connect to Arosa Drive is not acceptable. As mentioned on previous
occasions, all utility lines within the subdivision should remain within the
proposed road right-of-way.
20. As mentioned previous4y, the Town does require the undergrounding of
overhead power lines whenever a property is developed or redeveloped.
Staff will be discussing the feasibility of undergrounding the overhead power
line located on Tract E with Holy Cross Electric and may require you to place
money in escrow at the t'ime of final plat to cover this cost or require that
you complete this work as a part of your construction of the subdivision
improvements. •
21. Staff feels that'the Trappers Circle intersection with Trappers Road is located
too close to the existing drainage way and requests that the connection with
Trappers Road be moved further to the south.
22. Please explain the purpose of the 30 foot wide access easements across the
southern portion of Lots 29 and 30 and the 50 foot access easement located
on Lot 1. What is the maximum grade of the driveway leading to lot 1?
Staff believes that the environmental impacts associated with the construc-
. tion of bridges and long winding driveways to access the building envelopes
on Lots 1, 29, and 30, are not acceptable. Staff would recommend that
these {ats be defeted as building sites.
23. On Page 5 of the traffic'report it is stated that this study does not attempt to
estimate construction generated traffic since this traffic is temporary and the
impact is generally less than the traffic impact of the permanent land use.
Staff disagrees with this statement and feels that construction generated
traffic, both within the Trappers Run property and the streets leading up to
• it, must be taken into consideration when determining traffic impacts on the
West Vail street system. In Table 2 on Page 8 of the traffic study, there is
reference to peak hour level of service a/a and blb. Although I am sure this
reference has meaning to a traffic consultant, please keep in mind that this
Environmental Impact Report is being reviewed by the Vail Planning and

24. Please describe, in detail, the impacts on adjacent properties associated with
your proposed Cortina Lane improvements.
25. Your conceptual constructiori staging/phasing plan.must be amended to • include considerably more detail. Employee and constructian vehicle parking

Please provide a more complete construction staging/phasing plan.
26. Your conceptual revegetation plan must be amended to include considerably
more detail. Your plan must include specific numbers of each specie af plant
to be planted in the areas shown. Additionally, the revegetation plan must
include narrative describing the timing of the proposed revegetation
throughout the construction of the subdivision improvements. 27. Your design guidetines are incomplete, in staff's opinion, considering the size
and potential impacts of this proposed development. Staff would
recommend that you obtain a copy of the recently approved Spraddle Creek
Subdivision Design Guidelines. This document is a good example of design
guidelines prepared for a subdivision similar to the proposed Trappers Run
Subdivision. Other specific comments related to the design guidelines are as
follows: -
a. On Page 1, third paragraph - The phrase "quality oriented" is
rather subjective. Staff would suggest that this be removed.
Also in paragraph three, it is stated that only landscape
architects experienced in mountain design shall be allowed to
design the landscaping in Trappers Run. Staff recommends .
that you amend the sentence to state that experience in
. mountain design applies to architects as well as landscape
architects.
b. On Page 2, grading - Please amend the last sentence to
prohibit grading beyond building envelope lines, unless it is for
landscaping purposes. Utifities - first sentence, change the
word "will" to "shall". In the last sentence of the first para-
~ graph state that landscaping around meters is required rather
' than encouraged. Please add a sentence which encourages .
meters to be located on the structure rather than independently sited. Driveways - for the sake of consistency throughout
town, staff would recommend that the wording in this section
be changed to comply with the requirements enforced through-
out the Town as a whole. Please add a paragraph to this

section which de ;cribes the fact that on steep slopes, garages
are encouraged to be Iocated as ciase to the raad as possibie,
thereby eliminating long winding driveways.

reduce visual impacis on certain lots in the subdivision. This
area should be expanded to d?tErmine maxirnum building
height lirnitations on each lot in the subdivision. Foundations -

design and construction techniques in mountain communities. .
e. On Rage 6, object - Please amend the last sentence which
states that there shafl be little or no fandscaping in undisturbed
areas. While areas outside of building envelopes should remain
. undisturbed, it is possible that it will be necessary to plant
additional vegetation directly outside of building envelopes in
order to screen or enhance the appearance of structures that
are constructed within the building envelope. Landscaping

the completeness of your environmental impact report.
Future scheduling of the Trappers Run preliminary plan will be determined at such time as
you have made your application complete. The staff will require 30 days to review the
completed submittal.
If you should have any questions or comments concerning the information in this letter,
please feel free to contact me directly at 479-2138. If necessary, the staff will be -
available to go over these comments with you and your consultant team.

MEMORANDUM
T0: Jim Curnutte
FROM: Greg Ha11
DATE: January 7, 1994 RE: Review of Trappers Run Submittal of December 22, 1-993
I was concerned the Trappers Run developer took the Town's review
of the Gpplication for completeness and assumed these WeY'2 tre
review comments for their submittal.
The following items asked for in my memo dated November 2, 1993
were not submitted with this application:
1) Detailed traffic calculations for West Vail 4-Way.
2) Copy of hydraulic report with back up calculations.
3) Alternative analysis of retaining wall types.
4) Debris flow calculations.
I have the following comments on the environmental impact report:
Economic and Fiscal Impact Analvsis
1) The site is located in the northwest corner of the Town oT
Vail and not the northeast as stated.
2) Town of Vail revenue generation and impact assumptions.
a. Retail sales tax -$1000/unit equates to $25,000 being
spent/year on taxable goods.within the Town of Vail
limits. This appears a little high. The hotel staying
guests contribution to sales tax is much greater than the
single family homeowner.
. .
;
; Review of Trappers Run 12/22/93
; January 6, 1994 `
. Page 2
b. Ski Lift Ticket Tax -.The sales tax is 4% not 2%. The
report assumes 70 days/5 persons per unit skiing. This
is more than 50%,of ttae ski season the units' guests are
skiing. With 5 out oi 5.5 persons/unit average skiing.
VA statistics show less than 500 oi total guests to Vail
ski and that they only ski 4 days out of a 7 day stay.
If one were to buy a community pass for $875. You need
only need to ski 20 times to pay for the pass. This
section needs more work. If we use VA numbers or we have
many more people occupying the subdivision for a lot
longer time.
c. Transportation Center Receipts - this calculates to using
the structure 19 days of full price full day parking or
37 days of coupon full day parking or 150 hours of hourly
. parking. These numbers do not coincide with the proposed
skiing numbers. It also doesn't allow much time to spend
the $25,000 to arrive at the sales tax numbers. Since
parking revenues pay for parking operations maybe both
these figures should be removed from consideration.
d.. Real Estate Transfer Tax Calculations - there appears to
be $30,000 to much in year 4 for lot sales. This needs
to be adjusted. The $16, 000 total for years 5- 15 needs
to be stated as a yearly cost not a total as the first
four row's of costs are shown.
e. Revenue Generation Summary - should be revised to reflect
the true cost of and Real Estate Transfer Taxes lift
ticket taxes based on known data with Vail Associates and
Town of Vail. It would appear sales tax maybe up to $400
to high and ski lift ticket is $90 to high when
reductions are seen and higher rate applied. RETT is $66
. to high. The total would be more likely $3071 versus
$3627 as shown.
Town of Vail Service Expenditures and Impact Assumptions
It is rather peculiar, these consultants did not question any Town
staff on how their current budgets are broken down and how this
development might influence their cost to provide the necessary
services to th'e development.
1) The 1992 annual revenues and current revenues per unit should
read expenditures instead. Why was 1992 used versus 1993 or
1994 budgeted? - understates current costs.

; 2) Debt service assumes costs are influenced by growt.h. This is
' true, however, the debt service is paying off capital projects
which were influenced by growth, so I believe they need their
share costed. '
3) Public Works - a. The Town's street maintenance budget is not related to
new or old streets. Al1 costs associated with increased
> effort for older street is in the street capital budget.
Due to the remoteness of this project our average of
: $25,000/mile is more than adequate.
. b. Snow removal - the Town's current snow removal operations
are maxed out. The West Vail route is completely taxed
by the time we reach the end of the route being Vail
Ridge. To take on the additional mile of north facing
steep curvilinear roads will require the addition of two
operators to cover the streets 7 days a week from 7:00 am
- 12:00 am. It will also require the purchase of one
additional plow. The current town.shop complex does not
have the room to store this additional plow. In
addition, the effort required to increase th2 maintenance
of the one mile of existing ro.ad network now functioning
at a higher level of importance should be considered.
The report does not consider the increased maintenance
needed to correct any problems on the existing one mile
road due to heavy construction traffic loads. The cost
to the Town for snow removal for the one mile is:
2 Operators for 25 weeks .(25 X.40 X 2= 2000 hrs @$15 X 1.33) assume 40% is to

c. Building Maintenance - this cost includes street lighting
and street signs.
d. Other - this cost includes engineering who perform
subdivision submittals review, subdivision engineered

of all new home construction.
e. Parks - the.West Vail/Vail Ridge neighborhood has been
identified as a neighborhood completely lacking an
adequate neighborhood par}c system. This development will
only worsen the situation.
f. RETT - capital costs not considered. - These will be
affected due to requirement to construct new neighborhood
park and trail enhancements.
g. Street capital Is used to correct problems, however,
this dollar amount is only our preventative maintenance
costs. The Town did not budget for a major street repair
during 1992. Annualized cost to maintain streets:

Yearly costs 14 = $353/unit
Total cost years 1-25 $ 709,000 =$29,571/mi/yr
24 = $986/unit
4) Transportation - the report states no expansiori, largely fixed
costs. All Town of Vail routes are at capacity at peak times '
and for 1994 have added additional service. The Town has been
looking at providing bigger buses which is a major capital
investment to meet demand. The replacement of existing buses
comes from the Town's capital budget, which in 1992 there were
not any funded. The Town has also looked at providing smaller
feeder routes to those areas who are far from the existing
stops. Trapper's. Run homes which average '1112 miles to the
nearest stop would be prime candidates for the feeder route.
In the parking section it is stated most residents will use
the bus system.
5) Parking - states residents will likely use public transit.
The nearest bus stop is over 1 mile away and from the farthest
home 2 miles away. It is highly unlikely these residents will
walk those streets carrying skis for 12/2 - 2 miles. The
operation of the parking structure is covered by its revenues.
The bigger issue is the capital construction of spaces. Since
these residents will need spaces at Vail's structures during
peak times it maybe assumed additional spaces may need to be
built. The capital cost of spaces is:
Initial Construction $ 15,000
Annual Capital/year $ 90
Major Renovation year 15. $ 500.
Total Annual costs./ space of 25 years $ 710/unit
Number of spaces needed for growth $710/unit - dollars
do not overstate costs. 6) Fire - It is most li.kely this subdivision will require the
construction of a West Vail Fire Station especially with the
access 1 mile through the existing neighborhood versus the
. quicker 1/4 mile straight shot from North Frontage Road. The
new fire station costs for capital and additional operation do
not overstate costs. Obtain numbers from fire department.
Review of Trappers Run 12/22/93
January 6, 1994
Page 6
The summary states that taking the average costs overstate tYie true
costs and the marginal costs would be more accurate. It appears
the marginal costs are more accurate, but may not necessarily be
more conservative. The analyst never worked with staff on actual
costs and how they are broken out, or what is the long term costs,
instead we have a snapshot.of how the 1992 budget and revenues are
divided. Traffic Impact Study
, The twotraffic impact studies are quite different. The first
states tnree roadway connections were considered and the Cortina
Lane access was determined to be the less desirable. It results in
site generated traffic using existing residential streets;
approximately 50 homes would be impacted by increases in local
traffic. The existing road network contains excessive grades, poor
sight distarice and narrow cross sections. The second report states
the Cortina Lane access is the preferred alternative.
Approximately 40 homes will be impacted by increases in local
traffic. The extension of the North Frontage Road results in
' excessive grades to be constructed in the development.
. The second report determines which access is best based on least
~ environmental impacts, and visibility. The traffic engineer does
not use criteria such as safest, least traffic impacts,
. encouragement of transit use, impact to pedestrians and bicycle
users, and school children access to bus stops.
It will definitely need to be known how homes, and traffic impacts ,
. were determined. Many of the Structures along the route have more
than one dwelling unit. Impacts of increased traffic affects all
; who use the roadways. This is much more thari just those who abut
the route. The Town's bus stops and the school bus stops are at
North Frontage Road/Chamonix Road and Chamonix Road behind the
Vail Inn. The neighborhood is in close proximity to the West Vail
commercial areas. The Davos Trail is popular in both summer and
winter. These generate a significant amount of pedestrian traffic
along the neighborhood roadways. There is no pedestrian facilities
along the route.
;
i The popularity of the Davos Trail generates a great deal of bicycle
? traffic from April tlirough October. Again no facilities exist
! through the neighborhood. -
i
The change from 50 homes to 40 homes. from one report to the next is
disturbing. How were less impacted the second time?
,
'
i Review of Trappers Run 12/22/93 January 6, 1994
' P age 7
~The ability to say a grade of 8.8oon a straight of way is
excessive to a grade in excess of 120 on a tight curve is ok seems
odd. The fact of making 2 90° turns on grades in excess of 10 0
then able to continue up a winding grade in excess of 12% on a 20'
wide roadway is not good traffic planning. ,
The use of these roads by seasonal users and even more of concern
short term guests or visitors is putting unfamiliar drivers into a
very serious situation.
Was accident history of the neighborhood reviewed? Has the traffic
: consultant driven the road in winter?
The Town of Vail does have plans to improve the North Frontage
Road/Chamonix Road intersection. This was the,number 3 priority of
the Vail Master Transportation Plan adopted March of 1992. This
• will most likely occur within two years if financial partners can
be found.
The recommendation of Cortina Lane access over the North Frontage
Road extension, based purely on traffic engineering criteria is not
even a matter of consideration.
From a transit and school bus issue, the nearest stops average 1'/2
mile to up to 2 miles away on the preferred alternative. The North
Frontage Road alternative bus stops average 2/2 mile and maximum 11/4
mile. There must be a better alternative for both modes.
Trip generation numbers can be determined and reviewed once the
actual number and type of dwelling units are known. The biggest
issue is what rates are being used and based on what. Trip .
generation rates can be computed on dwelling units, persons, or
vehicles for weekdays or weekends average day or peak times.
The other item is the definition for recreational homes is as
follows on the ITE Trip Generatiuon book. Recreational homes are
usually located in a resort- containing local services and complete
recreation facilities. These dwellings are typically second homes
useci by the owner periodically or rented on a seasonal basis. The
trips for determination of trip rates measured were at the access
points to the resorts. Higher trips occurred within the resorts
for recreational purposes: The trip rate used by the report would
be the number o-f trips.at East Vail and Dowd Junction. Not the
trips through the neighborhood.
The worst case of trips on Saturday usirig dwelling units is.305.
The worst case on Saturday using persons is 449 trips. If employee
housing units are required these numbers go up.
i
( • . ' . '
~ Review of"Trappers Run 12/22/93
' January 6, 1994
. Page 8
The peak trips need to be considered the worst case as this is when
we have our worst situation and biggest impacts.
The capacity analysis of the 4-way stop assumes a capacity of 1800
vehicles per hour (vph) maximum. This is based on a split of
55/45. This does not really explain split. The highway capacity
manual states a split of 50/50 is that all approaches are evenly
loaded through the peak demGnd period. The text also stGtes lesser
capacities and more variable distribution of delay occurs where
demand is not evenly split among all the approaches. This capacity
is as follows:
Split VPH LOS C
50/50 1900 1200
55/45 1800 1140
. 60/40 ' 1700 1080
65/35 1600 1010 _
. 70/30 1500 960
Further LOS C volumes are.much less than the capacity. It"is very
disturbing how the traffic consultant stated we had LOS A for lnlest
Vail when even if we were evenly split, current volumes are at or
28% above LOS C volumes.
The analysis also does not consider any interference from-the'close
proximity of the I-70 ramps to the operation of this intersection.
The recommendation, the intersection is alright and no improvements
are required are inaccurate. The improvements put forward to widen
Cortina Lane are not possible to construct without impacting
existing drives already over current grade standards. The
improvements also. don't address the major deficiencies with this '
proposed access.
Air Quality
The report mentions road sanding as a generator of particulate
pollution, however, it is not part of Table 1. Road sanding has
' been found to be one of the larger pollutants in the mountain
communities. The report does not adjust the emission numbers, even
, though access to the site has increased by one mile. The Existing
roadways. will need greater maintenance effort as their class
function changes from local to collector streets and transit and
pedestrians use by the developments' residences is greatly
discouraged with the increased distance from bus stops and activity .
centers. The number of vehicle trips needs to correspond to the
correct trips from the traffic report and to an accurate total trip
length.
,
Review of Trappers Run 12/22/93
January 6, 1994
Page 9 .
The previous trip length hardly gets residences out of the
subdivision. The air quality report should discuss the impacts of
the two different access scenarios.
GJater Resources
The Town of Vail drainage criteria requires, storm sewers to be
designed for the 25 year flow. The report states a copy of the
hydrauiic analysis is attached. I cannot find this. It would seem
feasible to provide the bridge crossing with the old access and
remove the roadway out of the stream and both alternatives are
equal. There also exists the possibility to create.a sedimentation
pond/water feature if access from the North Frontage Road is
developed in conjunction to a pocket park.
Veaetation
When staff walked the site with the developer, there was
significant Columbine in the forest understory. It is -not mentioned as being on the site. What is the net loss or trees if
access is from the North Frontage Road and aligned next to the stream bed to miss tre%s. Is there an opportunity to develop a
pocket p:rk at the realigned Arosa Drive area in this scenario?
Does there exist any opportunity to create a usable pocket park to
be shared by the Vail Ridge neighborhood with the Cortina Lane
access alternative.
,
Development should exercise the Wildland Fire Design Guidelines
which call for fuel clearing around structures.
Developer should provide a standard for revegetation which we could
evaluate -now in determining how well the site will be restored.
Example and caliber or size of plant species per say 100 square
feet of disturbance.
Wetlands
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will make the determination. In
either alternative, the stream should be avoided, except for near
90° crossings.
Wildlife The current site acts as the buffer with the Vail Ridge
neighborhood as stated, the relatively dense forest habitat serves-
as a buffer between existing development and more open habitats.ori
the forest land. Wildlife activity within this site.is not
concentrated due to' close proximity to the sights, sounds and
smells of humans in close proximi.ty to the site.
Review of Trappers Run 12/22/93
January 6, 1994
Page 10
Human and especially, dog activity through the site greatly affects
the wildlife activity patterns. The construction of another
subdivision, similar to Vail Ridge with no buffer strip, pushes the
wildlife further to the west.
The comparison of wildlife habitat lost in the whole picture of
wildlife habitat is similar to each rain forest logger/farmer
comparing each of their properties to the greater whole. It is
small, but in aggregate quite devastating.. How much of the
remaining wildlife habitat is permanently protected irom any
. harmful development? If not, I don't think it should be counted.
It is also disturbing that Vail should not worry about wildlife
: nearby, and this is not something people expect when recreating in
this area.
The report states very clearly, without reducing the number of
, residential lots on Trapper's Run, it is difficult to maintain a
wildlife buffer zone. This is because the best lot sites are in
the area of any proposed buffer zone. The second fact of
developing the entire dense forest zone, doubly eliminates any
buffer caith the more open habitat of the forest lands, this is
partially mitigated by a ridge line above the site. The original
report states bear
problems exist on the south side of I-70. There has also been many
incidents of bears on the north, most particularly the residences
adjacent to the development. Would suggest any development of this
area require use of bear proof garbage'containers.
Preliminary Geotechnical Investicration
The first report, mentions construction of structures in the area
of the Iandslide is not recommended. No underground utilities
. which transport liquids should be constructed in the landslide
area. The report does not identify the rock outcrops at the end of
Cortina Lane, and the potential difficulty in constructing the
roadway through it. The report does not, recommend a maximum fill
slope or total fill.
No alternative analysis of retaining wall systems was performed.
It needs to be discussed regarding aesthetics, ease of
construction, amount of disturbance and costs. Retained earth
systems like-soil nailing or a Hilfaker System may be appropriate
on the north.facing cut slopes, where revegetation of the steep
slopes is possible with proper erosion control and revegetation
procedures.
Review of Trappers Run 12/22/93
January 6, 1994
Page 11 .
. The second report states the landslide area can support structures
with proper dewatering and engineered systems.
Is there any special construction techniques required to stabilize
the subgrade which averages more than 65 o passing the No. 200 sieve
while the roadways are under construction. Does the on site
material meet the specifications for suitable backfill with regard
to Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls? How will the top
soil on site be handled, stockpiled and reused during construction?
How do the two access alternatives compare in scope with regards to
geotechnical.analysis.?
Enqineerincr Geoloqic Hazard Study
The original report identifies the landslide area. It discusses
the use of specific geotechnical measures, such as ground
dewatering or removal of the slide soils and replacement with
engineered fill which could be implemented to improve the stability
of the ground. It then urges no high-value structure be built
within the landslide area.
The second report states the landslide area will be restabilized by .
dewatering so buildings may be built to an acceptable risk level.
The geologic report does not identify the rock out crop from
Cortina Lane. The report should also analyze the difference access
alternatives.
Rockfall and Debris Flow Analvsis
Which consultant has the final word with regard to rockfall hazard?
The original report supports the the'ory that the original road
design was poor due to the fact the roadway is in the ravine. It
also assumed the road could not be altered. The second report
shows, through use of large box culvert crossings, how the debris
flow can be mitigated. This technique may also be used for a
revised original road alignment.
The second report still does not calculate any hard numbers on the
extent or volume of debris expected. The report also looks at only
a debris flow originating high up in the incised ravine, however,
the geologic hazard report identifies tYiree landslide hazards just
to the north of the site. These areas if lubricated with moisture,
such as a heavy snow year, and/or intense rainstorms, if released,
in conjunction with spring runoff would cause a debris flow event.
Debris flow events are not similar to floods or avalanches in which
you have return periods.
Review of Trappers Run'12/22/93
January 6, 1994
Page 12
It is disturbing, the report mentions, no prio.r events have
occurred in the valley so the danger is not as great. Prior to the
1984 events in Vail, it was also possible to view those.areas which
flowed and state, no prior activity has occurred. Debris flow
potential is based on havin(4 the right topograpnic, geologic and
hydrologic cirQumstances at the right time to trigger an event.
Once the event occurs, it may never happen again as the material
_ wh?ch gave way is now no longer able to supply a possible second
event from exactly the same spot.
The second map shows the debris flow hazard as a single line, non-
colored as compared to an area as tr.e first map. The hazard should
be shown as the first map depicts. The report points out that the
stream even though crossed with wide spar box culvert bridges,-
results in fills 29-32 feet above the inverts of the stream.
The report discusses how the water quality report provides a
detailed discussion of the sites hydrology. None exists.
The report should mention seme device which may hold back large
embedded debris which could block the bridges, causing a danger off
damming, structural damage to the box culverts, and exper.sive clean
up. It may be best to provide a large grate to keep the largest
material from becoming lodged in the box. This allows the moisture '
and majority of debris to pass. What special measures are needed
to adequately design the roadway fill to sustain the pressures
caused by potential damming upstream of the boxes..
The report mentions no issue with the rock out crop at Cortina
Lane. Again the report should analyze the difference between the
Cortina Lane access with a revised North Frontage Road access.
Desian.Guidelines
- It would be appropriate that professional engineers licensed
architects and landscape architects work together to create the
. best designs.
1) Building envelopes - as written will be hard to enforce. Who
is the enforcer? How will the enforcement be carried out?
2) Driveway - as written violates Town of Vail ordinances.
Maximum grades of 8% are allowed.
,3) Retaining wall - as written violates Town of Vail ordinances.
Maximum height of 3' is allowed in front setback.
4) Trash housing - should also require use of bear proof trash
containers, once they are placed outdoors for pickup.

5) Roofing - material of natural cedar shakes appears out of
character for wildland fire desi,gn guidelines.
6) Preservation of vegetation - requires all trees 4" in diameter
to be shown. Should we require the subdivision plan, prior to
approval to show ttie same?
7) Fire protection - Wildland Fire Design Guidelines should apply
to the subdivision.
Develcper should provide a standard for revegetation which we could
_ evaluate now in determining how well the site will be restored.
Example and caliber or size of plant species por say 100 square
feet of disturbance.
View Szudies/Computer Simulation -
The original views irom the Brandess Building appears to be the
wrong spot. This view should be the center line of tne westbound
lanes of I-70. The photo as is, uses the development in the
foreground as a-screen and it is not a view point many people have.
The westbound centerlane is a view poirt everyone has, and has less
foreground screening. It may be appropriate to zoom the shot from
I-70, as it is impossible to simulate the view as one drives down
I-70, but as one gets closer the. view will be greater. The
simulations, should compare the two different access alternatives
once refined and development density res.olved from the same view
points and those additional suggested by staff.
The Tins created for visual simulation show no grading disturbance
for the houses as shown.
Roadway P1ans
An extensive review was not performed as of this time it is clearly
not known what the final product will be. The public works
department does not support the access from Cortina Lane. The
Cortina access is not acceptable as proposed. If density accessing
Cortina is greatly reduced this my be an alternative.
The old North Frontage Road extension as previously shown, however,
is not .approvable either, but a modification which removes major
portions of the roadway out of the stream and uses the large
concrete box culverts to convey the stream would be acceptable.
Limited density access of Davos Trail with the use of large
concrete box culverts may also be acceptable. The original
discussions with the developer, discounted such an access point, ~
due to excessive fill, however, the current plan presents 32' of
fill over the creek.
Review of Trappers Run 12/22/93

The plan as proposed, does have utilities carrying liquids within
' the landslide area. The plan as proposed has storm sewers dumping
out onto lots and U.S. Forest Service property with out the proper
drainage easements. How will erosion be handled at these points?
How are flows picked up docan below?
,
The face of retaining walls and guardrail must be 2' behind the
flowline of the gutter. A 5' tier on cut wells allows a very small
plantable area. What is the tier.width for fill walls?
The plan shows no disturbance on adjacent properties. It is
unlikely to construct walls right at the property line without
working in front of them. They do show grading on Lot 13 Block B
Vail Ridge. Do they have permission?
The project still heavily disrupts the stream with the construction
of the sewer line connection. what is the total square footage of wall and what is tne square
footage per various wall heights?
Where are the construction staging areas? How will access to the
forest lands be maintained during construction?
As was stated before, the improvement to Cortina Lane are almost
impossible and does not address the, most severe sections.
The TIN's as developed do not adequately show grading disturbances
of the building envelopes and driveways.
As was stated before, the revegetation plan needs to present some
standards fbr material per known area. "
Trappers Circle grades do not start at 8% at station 0+00 as this
is centerline of Trappers Road. The cross slope of Trappers Road
should be 2 0 .
The forest access needs to be separate from the access to Lot 27.
It needs to not feel like one is using someones driveway. People
won't use the access if it does.
The second submittal access which raises the North Frontage Road if
revised to keep out the stream may reach a better result. If the
. point of raising the North Frontage Road was further to the east
this would reduce the grade. The road can be realigned to stay out
of the stream except ;for crossings.of the stream of which there
would exist similar to the current plan, but with less fill above
the creek.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jim Curnutte
FROM: Todd Oppenheimer
DATE: January 4, 1994 .
RE: Comments on Trappers Run 1st Supplemeri to E.I.R. dated December 14,
1993.
i have review the supplemental Trappers Run submittai and have the following comments.
The most significant comments relate to the visual sirnulaticns and the revegefation pian.
Please ca11 me if you have any questions.
: 1.. There are some inconsistencies in the wildlife supplement written by Lesiie
: Malville. In two places she references the total proiect of 47 acres as no longer
available to deer and elk but in the conciusion uses only the. 6.6 acres of ha;d
surfaced area as unavailable. The noise visual and activity-related disturbar.;es
will probably make at least the entire 47 acres unavailable to deer and elk. This
- report should stress that boir.,t,
2. Design Guidelines. An additionai sentences to the last paragraph of the
introduction that stresses a tearn approach between the Architect and landscape
Architect would be b?neficial. Having both professions invo{ved from the beginning
of the design process will help ensure that the structures are successfully
integrated with the site.
, 3. Design Guidelines, Preservation of vegetation. I would like to see two adci~ior•al
' ~points covered. First, existing vegetation, including trees, understory and
' groundcover should be dug and transpianted wherever possible. This technique, .
~ if properly done, greatly improves the overall revegetation of the site. Second,
' Page 2
JC - Trappers Run

specifici plans for protection of existing vegetation to remain should be inciuded
with the site plan submittal.. This way staff can evaluate the plans to determine if
: it is feasible to save the vegetation identified.
. 4. Question. Are construction related items such as erosion protection, construction
fencing and trash re.moval, sufficiently covered in the Town of Vail design
guidelines or should they be included in the Trappers Run guidelines as well?
5. Simulated View Four from Cortina Lane confains several errors that must be
corrected in order to properly assess the visual impacts of the project. There are
as follows:
~ a). The structure, building envelope and disturbed areas for lots 20, 21 and 23
and possibiy portions of 25 and 24 would be visible in the photograph.
b). The utility easement disturbance between lots 21, 22 and 23 would be
visible in the photograph.
c). The stand of evergreen trees shown at the intersections of Trappers Circle
. and Trappers Road will not remain. Utility Plan (sheet 4 of 5) shows an
. "STM Filtration Tank system and associated piping to tie installed at that
location. The second tier of wall as well as fhe roadway would be visible
when the trees are removed.
d). The evergreen trees drawn in over the top of the house on ?ot 29 do not
exist. The disturbed area in this location extends from Trappers Circle
almost tb the stream. There are no evergreens on the camera side of the
stream. If yau look ciosely at the evergreens in the existing view all you
. see are tree trunks in.the shadows. Much more of the road, disturbed
areas and walls would be visible in this location.
6. The parking spaces for forest access included in the original plan have been
omitted in this submittal. Severaf spaces should be located in the vicinity of lots
26 and 28.
7. The piants indicated on the revegetation plan are appropriate. The appiicant
needs to submit detailed landscape and irrigation plans showing plant locations
and quantities as weli as the irrigation system. A statement regarding
maintenance responsibility should also be included. Specific seed mixes,
application rates and muiching techniques should also be included.

. MEMORA.NDUM TO: JIPZ CURr'UTTE, DEPARTMENT OF COTa•NNITY DEVELOPMENT
FROM: MICHAEL riCGEE, FIRE MARSHAL
DATE DE CEMBER 27, 1993
RE: TRAPPER'S RliN PROPOSP.L
. We received another submittal for,the proposed Trapper's Run
project, dated 12/22/93. We have reviewed the submittal and have
the followir.g comments:
Exhibit 9 of the Supplement to the Environmental Impact
Report, titled Town oF Vail Service Impact Assumptions, has a
statement under impacts to the Fire Department, that "no new
equipment or systems are required." THIS ASSUMPTION IS FALSE.
. h'e have identified no less than 10 impacts: The impacts are.
1. Zve anticipate an increase in the number and frequency of both
fire and medical calls to the West Vail area as a resulL of the
increased density, both during const'ruction and after occupancy.
2. We anti*cipate and increase in both the actual number and in
the potential, threat of wildland fires due to construction and
habitation, especially given the terrain, natural ground cover.,
slope, and the fact that the project is on L'he south facing slope.
3. Average response time to calls throughout the Town of Vail
. will increase due to increased vehicular traffic, impact on the
Saesto Vail interchange, and the amount of:time required for an
engine to respond to Trapper's Run from the main Vail fire station
and the time required to respond to other calls within the Villaqe
and Lionshead from'West Vail. 4.. According to a recent analysis conducted by Merrick &
Associates for Upper Eagle Consolidated Water and Sanitation
District, the water system in the Vail area, especially on Cortina
Lane, is currently inadequate to meet existing fire flow demands.
Any additional demands on the water system must be addressed and
improvements to the existing system should be made prior to any
'additional demands being made on the water system.
TRAPPER'5 RUN
. PAGE 2 .
~ 5. The Insurance Services Office/Commercial Risk Services (ISO)
sets forth classifications for municipalities that directly affect
insurance rates. ISO criteria require all points within the city
to be within a certain distance of a fire station. West Vail does
not currently meet those criteria. Deficiency points are assigned
on a pro-rata basis for the percentage oi the city that is not
within the specified distance from a fire station.
Development of Trapper's Run will increasa the percent of the
city not within the ISO's.specified:distance of a fire station,
will result in more deficiency points, and a subsequent reduction
in Vail's classification which may result in an increase in
insurance rates for the properties throughout Vai1.
6. It is reasonable to assume.that as.with any new subdivision,
there will be some increase in the number of calls.for service to
that area. Trapper's Run lies at the most remote west end of the
north side of the valley and will require more travel time for fire
apparatus to respond to and return from calls in that area..
~
While the on-duty fire crew is tied up with even a false alarm
in the Trapper's Run subdivision, they are not available to respond
to other, perhaps more critical, calls in the rest of Town. This
reduction in the engine company's availability for response to the
rest of Vail is aggravated by the longer response times.
7. The proposed access to the subdivision is*via Cortina Lane.
Cortina Lane,was not, designed to handle any significant increase in
traffic volume or imposed loads such as would result from heavy
construction equipment, fire trucks, moving vans, and other heavy
vehicles.
Fire Department access will require we trayel up Chamonix
. Lane, to Davos Trail, through multiple intersections, none of which
: were intended or designed for heavy vehicle loads or high traffic
either.
8. Cortina Larie was built under County standards in the 1960's
and was designed for light.duty local traffic only.. It does not
meet current minimum design standards but is an existing non-
conforming situation, servicing about 12 homes.
9. Under the proposed design, Cortina Lane would be expected to
provide access to 42 homes: The proposed design includes an
' adverse mix of minimums and maximums. The road is designed to the '
; maximum road grade, minimum width, and insufficient turning radius,
~ and the cul-de-sacs within the proj ect do not allow a fire truck to
? turn around without making at least a three point turn. 1 .
