Item/Topic: Discussion regarding noise in the Village Core issue. Tom Moorhead Action Reauested of Council: Provide comments and direction based on present ordinance and any requested changes to ordinance. Background Rationale: At Apri15, 1994 work session, the issue of too much noise in the Village Core was brought to the Council's attention. Staff was directed to review the various problem areas and develop a recommendation consistent with legal requirements. Staff Recommendation: Not applicable. 3:00 P.M. 2. Item/Topic: Discussion regarding AI Walker Seminar on May 26, 1994. Colleen McCarthy Action Reauested by Council: Share cost of presentation. The total cost for a full day seminar is $5000.00. We are asking the Council to allocate $1000.00 toward the cost of bringing Mr. Walker to town. Background Rationale: Mr. Walker is an experienced facilitator in bringing different boards/councils together to form a strong intergovernmental relationship. He also is superb in developing and fostering a good relationship between staff, the executive office, and the elected body. 3:20 P.M. 3. Item/Topic: Discussion of funding for the Vail Cemetery. Andy Knudtsen Steve Thompson Action Reauested of Council: Discuss funding options. Backaround Rationale: The Cemetery Master Plan was completed October 28, 1993. The design has been well received by the Planning and Environmental Commission, the Town Council, and the neighborhood. Staff has provided a copy of the cemetery report and the appendix showing a detailed breakdown of construction costs. Design and construction is anticipated to cost $660,270.00. Future expansions and maintenance of the cemetery will be funded by the sales of crypts, niches, and plots. Since the budget for construction of the cemetery would come from the capital fund, staff has attached the list of capital projects which have been funded at this time. Staff Recommendation: Staff believes that the design and master plan, if constructed, will provide a high quality memorial area for our community. Staff recommends that the cemetery be funded, per Council's direction./ 3:50 P.M. 4. Discussion regarding Cornice Building Housing. Jim Curnutte Item/Tooic: Worksession to allow the Town Council to review and consider the location of three permanently restricted employee housing units which were required in conjunction with the Town's recent approval of the establishment of SDD No. 32 (Cornice Building). The Cornice Building is located at 362 Vail Valley Drive and is a part of Tract B, Vail Village, Ist Filing. Applicant: David Smith, represented by Tom Braun, Jamar Associates Action Requested of Council: Subsequent to Council's discussion with the applicant regarding the three proposed employee housing unts, staff requests that the Council provide direction to the applicant regarding the acceptability of three employee housing units. t Backaround Rationale: On April 5, 1994, the Town Council approved Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1994, on second reading, providing for the establishment of SDD No. 32, Cornice Building, and adopting a development plan for SDD No. 32. The Council's approval included several requirements which were a part of the , approved development plan, including the provision of three off-site employee housing units. Acceptance of the employee housing units was required to be brought back to the Town Council for their review and approval at a regularly scheduled meeting prior to the issuance of a demolition/building permit for the Cornice Building redevelopment. The applicant has identified the location of three potential employee housing units which he proposes to permanently deed restrict to meet the requirements specrfied in Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1994.

(.r"~. , DATE: May 2, 1994 Reference is made to your letter dated April 28, 1494 tegardiug the Council Work session on "Noise in the Village Core". Uur experience at The Sonnenalg Resort is that the guest coanplaints {mainly fxota guests at the Austria and Swiss Haus) refer to noise created icy inwxicated pedestrians leaving the bars, night clubs and discos late at night or in the eazly morning hours. Obviously such distuxbanee could only be controlled by additional police presence. Regarding garbage collection and snow removal, only very accassionally have we received guest carnplair~ts.

NOISE AS A NUISANCE There is no question that a municipality can regulate or prohibit noises which may affect public health or welfare. Also, the police power comprehends the duty, within constitutional limitations, to protect the well being and tranquility of the community. Such regulations must be non- discriminatory and must promote the interests of the general public and not one or a few individuals. Any regulation of sound or noise must consider the constitutional issue of free speech. It must be reasonable as to time, place and manner of regulation; must advance a governmental interest other than the suppression of free speech; and must be "content neutral". The following factors are to be considered when regulating noise as a nuisance: 1. Volume 2. Location and Surroundings 3. Duration of the Noise 4. Time r v~ II. CONSTITIITIONAL REQUIREMENTS Any regulation that has the possibility of regulating expression protected by the First Amendment must meet the following four-part test. 1. Council must determine whether the expression is protected by the First Amendment (it must be a lawful activity and not be misleading); and 2. Council must ask whether the asserted governmental interest is substantial; and 3. It must be determined whether the regulation directly advances the governmental interest asserted; and 4. That the regulation must not be more extensive than is necessary to serve that interest. III. CONCLUSION An ordinance must be equal and uniform in its operation, and any distinction or discrimination between classes of citizens with regard to their right to maintain such nuisance must be founded upon some reasonable basis. Council cannot declare the place of business of a single individual to be a nuisance, in the absence of a general regulation applicable to all others of the same class. General authority to define and abate nuisances does not empower a municipality to declare that to be a nuisance which is not a nuisance in fact. Aesthetics is a substantial government interest that justifies the restrictions a noise ordinance imposes on free speech. "These aesthetic interests are both physiological and economic. The character of the environment affects the quality of life and the value of property in both residential and commercial areas." Citv Council vs. Taxpavers for Vincent (1984) 466 U.S. 789. The present ordinance in the Town of Vail regulating sound and noise meets these constitutional requirements on its face and as it has been applied and enforced. ti r MEMORANDIIM T0: Vail Town Council FROM: Tom Moorhead Town Attorney DATE: April~29, 1994 RE: NOISE/AMPLIFIED SOUND ORDINANCE Attached you will find Section 8.24.060, NOISE PROHIBITED, for your consideration prior to our worksession item concerning amplified sound and noise in the Commercial Core I and II districts.

How to be an effective ambassador to the community. 2. How to become a better elected official. 3. Staff/Elected Member Relationships. • What is the elected official's role? • What is the Town Manager's/Administrator's role? • How do I get the most out of my Director/Town Manager? 4. How to handle complaints effectively from the public. 5. How to maintain good board member and Town Manager/Administrative relations even in a crisis. 6. Which responsibilities are the Board/Council, and which are the Administrators/Managers. 7. Long range planning. 8. How to function more as a team. Gail Molloy, Colleen McCarthy and I had the opportunity to hear AI speak in San Jose this past fall. We were all three impressed not only by his knowledge of work\walker i - • Board/Staff relations, but also by how well he presents this knowledge. His combination of humor and knowledge make for an excellent seminar. AI will be speaking on May 26, 1994 as follows: 8:30 - 11:30 AM Team Leadership and Boardmanship 12:00 - 1:00 AM Luncheon Talk 2:00 - 4:00 PM The Challenge of Change 4:15-5:00 PM Motivational Conclusion The Board would like to invite you to join us for this unique professional development opportunity.

Speaking on behalf of Crown, your presentation was informative as well as entertaining. The stand-up routine on Monday night with the workshop on Tuesday was certainly the way to go with our group of 250 people. For years we have concentrated on entertaining our group with hypnotists, comedians, musical acts and other pure forms of entertainment. Although you could classify yourself as a comedian, the underlying customer service message really added some substance to the evenings/mornings entertainment. I have received nothing but rave reviews. I am sure we will continue with this type of agenda at future gatherings. It was a pleastue meeting you and participating in your performance.

Why do hundreds of businesses hire AI Walker each year to help them boost employee productivity? For the same reason organizations consistently choose him as their keynote speaker and seminar leader. They know he will not only meet their expectations, he'll beat their expectations, and inspire others to do the same. AI firmly believes in the human potential and commits himself to helping people become the very best they can be. His message is simple: professional excellence begins with personal excellence. AI's dedication to helping people pursue personal excellence has established him as one of the nation's top- rated experts in human resource development and professional speaking. With more than 15 years experience as a professional in sales, sales management and leadership training, AI has earned two of the highest designations in his industry: the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) from the National Speakers Association, and the Certified Sales Executive (CSE) from Sales and Marketing Ex- ecutives International. He has also received the Council of Peers Award of Excellence (C.P.A.E.) from the Na- tional Speakers Association. He shares this award with other well-known speakers, including Robert Henry, Jeanne Robertson, Doc Blakely, Joe Griffith, Art Linkletter, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Og Mandino, and Zig Ziglar. Without a doubt, when it comes to keynote speaking, conducting workshops and seminars, and business consulting, nobody does it better than AI Walker. ~1Na AI Walker & Associates, Inc. • P.O.

The best testimony to that is the many dealers who have asked to have you back again." David C. Lucy Executive Vice President Indiana Implement Dealers Association It's impossible to hear AI Walker give a speech and not get more excited about your own business and life. His delivery is as powerful as his message. He is outspoken, direct and humorous -but most of all, he's effective. Through his presentations, AI not only informs. He entertains. He inspires. He believes no keynote address is complete unless it does all three. "A World Fit to Live In" is an example of an inspirational, yet humorous speech that AI frequently delivers with the driving message that in order for us to have a world fit to live in, we must first have a self worth living with. Other suggested titles for this presentation include: • Maximizing Your Return on Self Effort • Listen Up • Pro Power • The Challenge of Change • Living and Working with Others -The Art of Getting Along Presentations like this one are the reason AI gets more than praise for his speaking ability. He gets asked back time and time again because he continues to inspire his audience even after the applause and laughter have faded away. See for yourself. Whatever the occasion - a business luncheon, an awards banquet or a commemorative program, AI will blend just the right amount of humor with a message custom-made for your group. ~M/~ AI Walker ~ Associates, Inc. • P.O.

Hannon Vice President Arvida Corporation As a businessman, AI is in touch with the challenges confronting businesses and the work force everyday. He zeros in on problems his clients face in such specific areas as sales and marketing performance and management development. Then he develops practical, hard-working solutions to those problems. In helping you solve your business problems, AI will share only the best ideas he's garnered from working with over 150 of the top organizations in the world. Consulting with businesses that range in size from as-few as 5 to as many as 500 employees, AI has developed several training programs that address specific needs for success in selling. Successful Selling Systems This in-depth sales training program will help your people understand the buying process and the transi- tionsevery sale must go through. It emphasizes the importance of setting both long-term and short-term sales objectives while stressing the control salespeople must have of their own work behavior. The program also addresses several key areas of Advocate SellingT"' such as prospecting, setting up ap- pointments, handling objections, time management, making the presentation, and closing the sale. Successful Selling Systems is ideally taught in 24 classroom hours that can be arranged to suit your time and geographic constraints, such as 6 four-hour consecutive weekly sessions, or 3 consecutive eight-hour sessions. Effective Sales Meetings Are Made, Not Born This program assists sales and marketing managers in designing their meetings so that they are better organized, more meaningful, thus more profitable. Sales managers will learn how to increase their con- fidence as the meeting leader, how to excite salespeople about attending sales meetings, how to inspire salespeople to participate in the meetings, and how to help salespeople improve their sales skills. AI will also share his proven "Rule of 3:' The Power of Professionalism in Sales Today's professional salesperson realizes that selling today is different from the way it was even 10 years ago. The real professionals in selling continually strive for excellence in skill and attitude development. This program uses a slide presentation and group participation to reveal methods and techniques that can help anyone increase their sales, whether a rookie or a seasoned sales veteran. Effective Customer Service Your company never has a second chance to make a good first impression, so it's important that your customers get a good impression the first time they contact you. This program, therefore, addresses four im- portant areas of customer service: product knowledge, the skills necessary to sell that product, handling complaints with confidence, and the human relations skills necessary to develop customer rapport. .Mla AI Walker & Associates, Inc: • P:O: Box-21877.1034 Briargate Circle • Columbia, S.C. 29221 • (803) 772-1982 • FAX (803) 772-5157 AI Walker: ~ 1~f! ~y.d ' `Al, a day fiNed with insight, knowledge, workshops and even a few laughs thrown in.

Rev. Benny Clark, President VAIL CEMETERX MASTER PLAN V STATEMENT OF PROJECT OBJECTIVES Overall Mission Statement To produce an implementable cemetery master plan that serves the varied needs of the greater Vail community now and into the future, that complements our natural surroundings, and that engenders community pride and involvement. Guiding Principles 1. That the cemetery plan shall be community-driven. The citizens of the Upper Eagle Valley should be involved not only in the design of the plan, but also in the development of the cemetery and in its ongoing maintenance. 2. That the cemetery plan shall be environmentally sound. Environmental factors, such as water resources and geological constraints, must be respected in the design and operation of the cemetery. 3. That the aesthetic character of the cemetery shall complement its natural surroundings. The cemetery should appear as natural as possible in the landscape and have a low visual impact on the neighborhood. 4. That an opportunity exists to use the cemetery to strengthen the sense of community and the public's awareness of the area's natural and cultural history. 5. That the products submitted be implementable and provide a model methodology for public involvement in other town-sponsored projects. Tasks of the Consulting Team 1. To design the cemetery: to develop concepts for its physical layout and aesthetic character that meet the needs and expectations of the valley's population, that blend with the natural site, and that assure proper functioning from the initial stage of development. To develop a workable management plan: to recommend an operating scenario that takes best advantage of existing public financial and human resources. 3. To produce a total master plan package: to demonstrate that the proposal responds to community needs and is a product of a thorough public process; to provide a permanent record of the design rationale; and to specify how it should be implemented, funded, and phased. Products 1. Master Plan: a conceptual design, in graphic and written form, for the cemetery's layout, composition, and character. 2. Alanagement Plan: written recommendations for the cemetery's organizational and managerial structure and a plan for its initial and ongoing operation. 3. Im plementation Plan: an outline of costs by recommended development phases, financing mechanisms; and steps required for implementation, including approval by the public.

This site had earlier been identified as the best location for the cemetery after evaluation of 18 possibilities within the Town limits (see Appendix J, site selection study, 1990). _ ' The purpose of the management study, conducted by the L.F. Sloane Consulting Group, a New York-based specialist in cemetery management and operations, was (1) to assess community needs for burial spaces based on current and anticipated demographic characteristics, (2) to recommend to the Council the most viable management entity to operate the cemetery, (3) to project operating costs and recommend funding mechanisms, and (4) to outline an operating methodology and recommend steps for its implementation. The physical master plan was developed by Alpine International, a landscape architecture firm in Vail, in conjunction with Harley Ellington Pierce Yee, a Southfield, Michigan architecture and planning firm specializing in cemetery design. The purpose of the master plan was (1) to develop a design program for the cemetery, including functional elements and burial options; (2) to propose and test altematives for the location of the cemetery within the site and to develop general guidelines for its overall design character, based on public input, neighborhood concerns, and site conditions; (3) to suggest a phasing plan that would match site capacity with an appropriate mix of burial inventory over the long term; and (4) to estimate initial capital costs for construction: B. METHODOLOGY: THE PLANNING/DESIGN PROCESS The project was approached in several sequential steps: 1. Preliminary Investigation During the first phase of work, initial contacts were made with interested community groups and neighborhoods, and work sessions were held with Town staff, the Cemetery Task Force, and the Eagle Gore Cemetery District commissioners. Also, site conditions were inventoried, demographic patterns in the Valley assessed, and a geological reconnaissance commissioned. In its first work session with the Vail Town Council (October 6, 1992), the consulting team discussed the range of management options and reaffirmed the Council's preference for the Donovan Park site. 2. Conceptual Planning The second, or conceptual, phase of work began with a community workshop on October 27, 1992. At this half-day meeting and in intensive work sessions during the following two days, the consulting team and Town staff reviewed site constraints and program alternatives, heard neighborhood concerns, reviewed and evaluated management options; assessed their implications for physical layout and cemetery capacity, and developed several conceptual site plan alternatives. These conceptual alternatives were reviewed at another public work session on October 28, 1992, and a preferred layout was identified, which was then refined by the design team and presented to community groups, the Cemetery Task Force, and Town boards. VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN 2 2. Conceptual Planning , (cont'd) During the same period, other mountain communities and Denver-area cemeteries were contacted for more information on operational policies, pricing, management structure, requests for space from out-of-towners and methods for accommodating winter-time burials. (See Appendix K for detailed responses.) 3. Master Plan The third phase of the work program was the refinement of a. physical master plan and a set of .management ' recommendations for review and approval by Town Council, DRB and PEC. This report summarizes the design elements of the master plan and the conclusions of the management consultant. Also in this phase of work, meetings were held by planners and Cemetery District Commissioners with Eagle County and Town of Vail officials and staff to consider a variety of options for funding the cemetery's development. On August 30, 1993, the Vail Town Council reviewed the development budget outlined in Section VI and endorsed a plan to place a mill levy assessment proposal on the November 2, 1993, tax election ballot required by state Amendment 1. The following week, the Eagle County Commissioners passed a resolution to include the item on the county ballot. C. COMMUMTY INVOLVEMENT AND PUBLIC INPUT Community input, particularly from adjacent neighborhoods, has been actively solicited throughout the planning process. In addtion to the initial community workshop that launched the conceptual design phase, there have been numerous public hearings and meetings with neighbors and task force members. These meetings and their outcomes are briefly outlined below. A list of public comments and concerns and letters received during the current cemetery work is included in Appendix B, and minutes of Cemetery Task Force Meetings is included in Appendix C. February 11, 1992: Vail Town Council decided that land purchased with RET"I' funds could be used for a cemetery. October 6, 1992; Vail Town Council work session reaffirmed site selection and discussed management options. October 27-28 1992: A public workshop discussed site constraints, neighborhood concerns, and conceptual design alternatives. November 5, 1992: Cemetery Task Force reviewed and endorsed the preferred conceptual site plan. November 10, 1992: Vail Religious Foundation endorsed the site plan and noted that, eveh as the preference for cremation is growing, in-ground burial must remain an option given certain religious groups' beliefs and burial practices. November 30, 1992: The Cemetery Task Force met with Larry Sloane to discuss in detail the various alternatives for managing the new cemetery. It was generally agreed that management by the existing Cemetery District was the most attractive option. December 3, 1992: A site walk was conducted with neighbors in the vicinity of the cemetery site to illustrate in the field where the primary elements will be located. Neighbors expressed general relief that the siting and conceptual layout would have less visual impact on their properties than they anticipated. VAIL CEMETERY ~ MASTER PLAN 3 December 14-15, 1992: A joint work session of the Design Review Boazd (DRB) and the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) was held, followed by a Town Council work session to review the conceptual plan. In each of these sessions, the plan was well received, with the proviso that there be heavy screening from neighborhoods and that grave headstones be low and unobtrusive. March 10, 1993: The Cemetery Task Force met to discuss refinements in the management plan and development of a policy on residency requirements. Comments on the physical design continued to be very positive. March 31, 1993: The Cemetery Task Force recommended adoption of a residency requirement that would offer in-ground and crypt burial only to past and present residents of the Upper Eagle Valley (see full text of resolution in Appendix C) and would establish athree-tiered pricing structure for all other burial options (cremation niches and other memorials). May 10, 1993: At a second PEC work session, there was general consensus to approve requests for a conditional use permit and a paving variance to allow a gravel access road. The master plan and management report were also informally endorsed. August 6, 1993: Meeting with the Cemetery District Commissioners to discuss funding options. August 31, 1993: Presentation to Vail Town Council by staff, consultants and Cemetery District Commissioners regarding the fall ballot issue. Vail Town Council unanimously supported the project and the proposal to put the issue on the fall ballot using the cost estimates presented. September 7, 1993: Eagle County Commissioners pass a resolution putting the proposal on the ballot. September 27, 1993: PEC approved conditional use and paving variances. November 8, 1993 PEC recommends approval of Master Plan. December 7, 1993 Cemetery Master Plan receives final approval by the Vail Town Council. VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN 4 II. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. MANAGEMENT The management consultant has concluded that legal and capital formation issues make operation by the Eagle Gore Cemetery District the best option for management of a cemetery in the Town of Vail. ('fhe' Sloane report is summarized in Section III and included in full as Appendix D.) The advantages of this approach are that the District has taxing power to provide capital funding, it is already operating the cemetery in Minturn, and both the District and the County endorse the approach. Prior to development of the cemetery, a management contract between the Town of Vail and the Cemetery District must be concluded to outline long-term land use and operating policies, funding mechanisms and pricing policies, and design guidelines. The Town of Vail, not the District, would retain title to the cemetery property. The Eagle Gore Cemetery District was formed in 1947 as the Minturn Cemetery District (see documents, Appendix O). It is governed by three cemetery district commissioners appointed by the Eagle County Commissioners for terms of from two to six years. Renamed in 1992 to reflect the commissioners' desire to serve the entire upper Eagle Valley, it is one of two cemetery districts in Eagle County. Its boundaries were drawn to coincide with those of Eagle County School District 11-, which no longer exists (Fig. 1). As drawn, the district encompasses the entire town of Vail and portions of the town of Minturn and the community of Eagle-Vail. The town of Avon is within the Eagle Cemetery District, not the Eagle Gore Cemetery District. B. OPERATIONAL POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS ~ 1. Residency Requirements The Cemetery Task Force has recommended that inground burial plots, crypts, and~entombments shall only be sold to those who have resided or owned property in the Upper Eagle Valley for a minimum of three years, their- relatives, and individuals who die here without other burial options. Niches for cremation remains and other types of memorials may be sold to anyone without residency requirements (Appendix C.) 2. Pricing The Task Force has recommended athree-tiered pricing structure, applying to "in-district" residents, other ' Upper Eagle Valley residents living outside the district boundaries, and non-residents who wish to be buried in Vail. Fee schedules are to be established by the Cemetery District Commissioners (Appendix C). The Task Force recommended that "outside the districC boundaries" would include residents from Wolcott to Vail and Minturn to Redcliff. At a later Task Force meeting on September 29, 1993; it was suggested . that this tier could be more easily defined as the residents within Eagle County. This definition may be refined by the Cemetery District and the Town of Vail after the management agreement is finalized. 3. Sales ' All,sales are to be made on an as-needed basis, and only two spaces may be sold to any one individual. 4. Endowment Fund An endowment fund is to be established for the future expansion and improvement of the two cemeteries. Not less than 25% of the revenues from the sales of lots, crypts, niches and cenotaphs;' is to be set aside for the fund. In addition, an annual maintenance fee is recommended to be assessed on all unused spaces. 5. Operations The District and the Town shall mutually establish policies relating to hours and days of activity, record keeping, conditions of purchase of burial spaces, and other operational questions. 6. Name for the Cemetery The District and the Town, in counsel with the Vail Religious Foundation and the Donovan Family, shall agree on a name for the cemetery. The park shall continue to be called Donovan Park,: and the Donovan family has requested that the cemetery include the family name. Until further discussions are held, the site shall be referred to as the Vail Cemetery at Donovan Park. ~ VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN 5 C. DESIGN GUIDELINES 1. Siting and Layout _ The preferred design concept places the cemetery in and near the tree line at the upper edge of the meadow on the upper bench to minimize its visual impact. Crypts and niches will be contained' in retaining walls that ascend into the trees, while burial plots will be arranged on flatter ground below the tree line and along the entry road. The entry road will be a visually unobtrusive gravel track with acorn-around at its upper end and parking, when needed, on a reinforced grassy shoulder. Slone steps and ramped walking paths will make memorial and burial areas accessible to all. The estimated 100-year build-out of the cemetery will use approximately 2 acres. (Donovan Pazk's upper bench measures 39 acres, and the meadow area is approximately 9.5 acres.) Development outside this area is not anticipated and the master plan shows the remaining area of the upper bench as Pazk Open Space'. An amendment to the master plan would be required in order to expand the cemetery onto the Pazk Open Space' area. 2. Mix of Inventory Demographic statistics indicate that the local population is more homogeneous, better educated, higher in income, and has fewer children and elderly than the averages for the state and the country as a whole. This suggests a lower local mortality rate, a greater tendency to choose cremation over burial, and a lower inclination to purchase cemetery spaces in advance of need. While the master plan offers a full mix of burial options, the number of in-ground burial sites is more limited in quantity than would be the case in a traditional cemetery. 3. Design Character The design concept for the cemetery emphasizes natural forms and stone as the primary material. To minimize the visibility of the cemetery, there are to be no buildings and no night lighting on the site, and extensive tree planting will be undertaken to screen it from the adjacent neighborhoods. Burial markers, limited in size and form, are to be natural boulders with applied or engraved inscriptions. (See Section IV.F. for more detail on design guidelines.) D. PHASING AND INITIAL CAPITAL COSTS Development costs for the initial phase of cemetery construction, not including contingencies, design or engineering, are estimated at approximately $470,000. (See Section VI for a summary cost breakdown and Appendix F for a complete cost estimate.) The initial phase of development includes many elements, such as overlot grading, utility work, the entry road and gateway monuments, and landscape screening, that will not recur in subsequent phases. Inventory initially developed for this phase is expected to satisfy the need for burial spaces in the first 10-15 year period. E. IMPLEMENTATION Immediate steps are to prepare a ballot proposal for the November, 1993, Amendment 1 tax election, to proceed with detailed design and engineering of the cemetery, and to conclude a management agreement between the Town of Vail and the Eagle Gore Cemetery District. Additional recommendations for action are listed in Section VII.

CEMETERY MASTER PLAN ~ 7 III. SUMMARY OF THE MANAGEMENT REPORT A management study was conducted by Larry Sloane, a New York State consultant to the funeral industry. His conclusions are based on census data; meetings with Town of Vail and Cemetery District officials; interviews with local funeral homes, religious leaders, the Town of Vail attorney and the Town's Finance Director, and input from the Cemetery Task Force. Summarized below, the full Sloane report is included as Appendix D. A. DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EAGLE VALLEY AREA Census records from 1990 indicate that the population of Eagle County is 17,998 people, growing at just over 3% per year. In the upper (eastern) portion of Eagle County in particulaz, the population is dominated by baby boomers in the 18 to 44 age group (58.4%) and averages ,fewer children, smaller families and households, significantly fewer older residents (only 4.1% compared with 12.8% nationwide), and higher income and education levels than the state or the nation as a whole. The 1990 Census counted Vail's permanent population at 3,716. The County's mortality rate is a very low 3.7 per 1,000 population per year, about half the rate for Colorado as a whole. In 1992, 49 residents of Eagle County died. (Data on Vail resident deaths specifically and where they are buried is not available.) This demographic profile has several implications for the capacity and character of the new cemetery in Vail. First, the number of burials, at least in the initial phase, is expected to be quite low, perhaps as few as two or three per year. Second, higher income and education levels correlate with a higher than average tendency to choose .,.~«,ation rather than burial. This trend will likely increase, thus probably extending the active life of the new cemetery by reducing the amount of land consumed by burial plots. Third, the inclination to purchase cemetery space in advance of need is unusual in persons under 45. Finally, with more varied and non-traditional family situations, there is a growing demand for individualized choices and a trend away from family plots. Certain factors complicate the projection of need for cemetery space in Vail. On the one hand, it is unclear how many among Vail's younger population will choose to make Vail a permanent home and eventually to be buried here. On the other hand, an increasing number of middle-aged and early retired people are purchasing part-time homes in the Vail area with the intention of making it a permanent home in the future. This trend could increase the demand for cemetery space. Although it is difficult to make any firm projections from these statistics about the future need for cemetery space, some tentative conclusions can be drawn. Firstly, given the low mortality rates, the capacity of the upper bench site is far beyond the probable level of need over the next 50 to 100 yeazs. Therefore, the actual area needed for a cemetery is a small portion of the total area. Secondly, anon-conventional cemetery, with less space dedicated to in-ground burial and more to cremation remains, conforms to trends associated with Vail's younger, more highly educated population. Thirdly, because accurate projections of population growth and cemetery usage are not possible, the cemetery should be designed so that the inventory of spaces can be developed in smaller phases that respond to the demand and range of options needed by the evolving local population., VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN e 8 B. MANAGEMENT ALTERNATIVES The advantages and disadvantages of four alternative ownership and/or management possibilities were studied: the Town of Vail, anot-for-profit organization, a private for-profit ~r~.ator, and the Cemetery District or other special district. The criteria against which each one was rated included (1) access to a source of capital to implement phase one of the cemetery development; (2) present staff-ing that would be available to satisfy operating needs; (3) the likelihood that management will have along-term commitment to operating the cemetery and along-term ability to continue to support it financially; (4) the amount of control that the Town of Vail would be able to exercise over ' land use, design character, and .,r;,.ational issues; and other legal limitations or issues. Table 1 summarizes the evaluation cf each management option on the basis of these five issues. Manaeement By Town For-Profit Non-Profit District Criterion: _ Capital Funding 5 10 5 5 Operating Capability 10 ~ 5 5 10 Long-term Commitment 10 3 5 10 Town Control 10 5 5 8 Legal Issues 5 10 10 10 40 33 30 43 Table 1: Evaluation of Management Alternatives (Sloane Report) The study concluded that the best alternative is to contract with the Eagle Gore Cemetery District (known, until 1992, as the Minturn Cemetery District) to operate the cemetery. Advantages of this approach are several. Perhaps most important, the District has taxing power, through a special mill levy, to provide the needed capital funding for the initial phase of development. Also, as there is already a functioning Cemetery District Commission which operates the Riverview Cemetery in Mintttrn, cost savings may be possible with a single management entity. The County has endorsed this option, and the three cemetery district commissioners (of whom two are presently from Vail) are amenable. The Town of Vail is already funding the Cemetery District through a mill levy, and, although Vail residents will incur the additional expense of a special one-time mill levy assessment to finance both the cemetery's construction and an expansion of the Minturn cemetery, this funding source will be of more direct benefit to the Town's taxpayers if the District were also responsible for the new Vail cemetery. Such an assessment will require an affirmative vote by taxpayers as a result of Amendment 1. To asstue the effectiveness of this approach, the Town of Vail will need to reach agreement with the Cemetery District on professionalization of services, design guidelines, and operating policies before proceeding with construction. A management contract between the two entities would ensure that the Town retains tide to the land and that the District, not the Town, would provide operating funds through an annual mill levy. The contract would also establish an endowment fund for future cemetery construction with monies coming from sales revenues; give district commissioners the power to set fee schedules per the Town's management agreement; and give both the District and the Town a role in establishing other operating policies. The District should agree to develop the Vail cemetery in accordance with the site master plan as approved by the Vail Town Council. - VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN 9 C. PRICING The retail prices suggested in Table 2 reflect the three-tiered pricing structure recommended by the Cemetery Task Force (see Appendix C). Those who have been residents of the Cemetery District for at least three consecutive years pay the lowest fees, while Upper Eagle Valley residents pay slightly higher fees and non-residents pay the highest fees. The recommended prices are higher than in other mountain towns (see Appendix K). In response to the Task Force's desire to limit the likelihood that non-residents will choose the Vail cemetery, prices for burial spaces have also been set higher than prices for comparable services in the Denver metropolitan azea. Annual increases in these prices would be set by the Cemetery District Commission and could be tied to increases in the Consumer Price Index. District Community Non-Resident Resident Resident Burial Spaces and Memorials Columbarium niches all levels $ 800.00 $ 960.00 $1,200.00 In-ground lots per space 2,000.00 2,400.00 n/a Garden crypt 3,600.00 4,000.00 n/a Selected "growing memorials" 500.00 500.00 500.00 Service and Inscription Fees Inscription on niche 300.00 300.00 300.00 Inscription on crypt 300.00 300.00 n/a Entombment fee 300.00 325.00 n/a Inurnment fee 100.00 125.00 150.00 Recording in Vail Cemetery records 100.00 120.00 200.00 only In records and name plaque on 300.00 360.00 400.00 memorial Table 2: Suggested Retail Pricing for the Vail Cemetery (Sloane Report) As an example, the total cost to a district resident for burial of cremation remains in a columbarian niche would be: columbarian niche $ 800 inscription on niche front 300 inurnment fee 100 $1200 To provide a district resident with an in-ground burial would cost: burial plot $2000 entombment fee 300 $2300 In all cases, the mortician's services, caskets, urns and gravestones would be additional costs. VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN to D. FISCAL ISSUES Fiscal considerations are, first, the cost of capital development and the source of funds for construction; and, second, the costs of annual operations and the means to cover them. The estimated cost to develop the initial phase of the cemetery is based on the design character and the types of burial inventory described in the conceptual master plan in Section IV; development costs and the means to fund them are discussed in Section VI. Annual operating costs and revenues for the Vail cemetery alone were estimated by the management consultant based in part on the type of inventory and the low-maintenance character of the proposed cemetery, as well as the suggested Pricing structure and projected sales of spaces. Projected sales for the first five yews are 2 to 3 burial plots, 2 to 3 crypts, and 5 to 6 niches per year, for an average of 15 units per year and a total of 45 to 50 spaces sold (but not necessarily used) in the five-year period. In addition to revenues from these sales in the first five years, there would also be fees for inscriptions, entombments, inurnments and other memorializations when spaces are used or remains scattered in the cemetery. Based on these sales and use projections, annual „YO.4ting income in the first five years would be in the range of $20,000 to $22,000 per year (using only the lowest tier of the pricing structure) or $106,000 for the five-year period. The Sloane report assumed a contribution to an endowment fund equal to 25% of the sales of plots, crypts and niches, to be used for perpetual care of the facility. After that contribution, net operating revenues would still exceed operating expenses by almost $40,000 after the first five years of operation (Table 3). The cumulative surplus would be adequate to cover the cost of developing additional burial inventory (lots, crypts, and niches) in later phases. All needed infrastructure will have been developed in the initial phase; future capital expenditures will be required only for additional burial spaces. Income 1993 1994 1995 1996 -1997 Revenues $20,700 $21,500 $21,100 $22,900 $19,900 Less 25% (3,600) (3,800) (3,975) (4,200) (3,675) endowment Net Revenues $17,100 $17,700 $17,125 $18,700 $16,225 Operating (8,500) (8,925) (9,375) (9,850) (10,250) Expenses* Net Surplus $ 8,600 $ 8,775 $ 7,750 $ 8,850 $ 5,925 (L.oss) Cumulative $8,600 $17,375 $25,125 $33,975 $39,900 Surplus ' *Projected at inflation rate of 5%. Assumes part-time administration of the Vail Cemetery only. See full Sloane report, page 11, Appendix K, for cost assumptions. Table 3: Five-Year Operating Pro Forma (Sloane Report) Typically, an endowment fund such as the Sloane report has recommended is set aside as a perpetual care or maintenance fund, while the surplus referred to above accumulates to cover future capital improvements. However, Amendment 1 allows the establishment of separate funds only for future expansion, not for long-term maintenance. Consequently, County officials have recommended that all fees from sales and services be held in the endowment fund to suYY.,.~ future expansion and that an ongoing mill levy assessment be used to cover annual operating expenses for Eagle Gore Cemetery District Combined annual operating costs for the District are outlined in Table 4. The funding plan, including the mill levy assessment for ongoing maintenance, is shown in Table 9.

THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PLAN DESCRTPTI(1N OF THE SITF. The site selected by the Vail Town Council for the municipal cemetery is a portion of the Donovan Park site known as the "Upper Bench." The entire Donovan Park site measures approximately ~ 1 acres. Of these, 12 acres are located on the lower bench and 39 are on the upper bench. The land was purchased by the Town in 1980 using Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) funds, which are earmarked for the purchase of open space. At the time of its purchase, it was designated by Council Resolution as John F. Donovan Park. The upper bench is zoned Agricultural and Open Space. By a 1988 Council ordinance, cemeteries were added as a conditional use. Cemeteries were further defined by Council as a form of open space, consistent with RETT policies, in an executive session on February 11, 1992.- Only about ?acres of the total 39 acre upper bench will be needed for the cemetery's burial and memorial spaces. Adjacent land uses are predominantly residential single-family, with several small lodges in the area north of the site. The site is flanked to the west and south by the Matterhorn neighborhood and to the east by the Glen Lyon neighborhood. Uphill, to the southeast, the property shares a boundary with the White River National Forest. A ;ingie unpaved town road (Matterhorn Drivel crosses the upper bench below the cemetery site. .=j master plan for Donovan Park completed in 1985 by THK Associates, Donver, located the most intensive r creational development on the lower bench and retained the upper bench largely in a natural state for passive rcreauonal uses such as hiking and sledding. Both the park .master plan and the Vail Land Use Plan completed a year later indicated a potential cemetery site on the upper bench.

DESIGN-DETERMINING FACTORS ' 1. Site Analysis: Physical Conditions and Constraints The upper bench cemetery site is an undeveloped parcel of vacant land. The highest part of the property is a hillside that slopes steeply [o grades as high as 45% and is covered with a dense forest of aspen mixed with some larger pines. There is a distinct lower tree line, below which grades are more gentle. The open meadow below the forest, once an agricultural field, is now vegetated in grasses, wildflowers and weeds. (See site photographs, Figs. 3-6 and diagram, Fig. 7.) An abandoned irrigation ditch traverses the meadow from the northeast to the southwest. The land jt:~t above and below the unpaved road. is the only part of the property with slope gradients under IO%. Geologically, the site is a valley side bench that parallels Gore Creek, the channel of which is considerably below the lowest part of the cemetery parcel. The bench was formed by three coalescing debris fans, a stream terrace, and colluvial material falling from slopes above the site. While the debris fans are not considered a hazard to the cemetery development (see Appendix IT1, design must take into account the moderate to heavy surface drainage from slopes above the site. Soils are dense and deep on the flatter portions and are interspersed with numerous boulders. Silty and granular, they are generally favorable for the excavation and grading proposed. Because the site is on a northerly facing slope, snow accumulation is typically heavy, but there is no evidence of avalanche hazard. 2. Visual Analysis: Aesthetic Opportunities The meadow is~a landscape feature of great integrity and is highly visible not only from neighboring properties but also from a distance. Designers and residents felt the plan should honor the meadow rather than consume it. Landforms other than the steeper slopes above the site are relatively subtle. The spaces between the debris fans read as small hollows sheltered on their uphill side by the forest. At the western end of the site, one such hollow offers superb views back to the town, which became a key motive in siting the cemetery. In the proposed conceptual grading plan, the fans themselves are to be exaggerated slightly to become landform motifs and screens between the cemetery and neighbors to the west. The lower tree line provides the other primary aesthetic influence on the site. There is a magnetism in that edge which tends to attract and organize design elements on the site. The tree line also frames and controls views into the site from the east and west ends. The greatest diversity of landform and vegetation on the site converges in a small zone that extends from the meadow edge to higher elevations within the forest. (On Fig. 7, this area is labelled "special forest environment" and is outlined with a dashed line. The cross section in Fig. 9 illustrates its diversity.) In this space, mature conifers are mixed with aspen, and a prominent bank creates a small draw leading uphill. Planners chose this location for the cemetery site because it can be partially screened from view and because it offers the greatest opportunity for diverse and memorable human experience. It also offers some potential for screening meditative spaces along the upper pathways from the noise of the interstate.

Fig. 9 ' C. THE MASTER PLAN • The Vail cemetery is planned as a meditative and meaningful series of spaces at and above the forest edge (see master plan, Fig. 8 and perspective sketch, Fig. 10). It will be accessed by a gravel two-track entry road which turns off Matterhorn Drive at its low point just west of the curve. Entry features there and at the arrival point beyond will punctuate a sequence of experiences designed to lead visitors into an area with strong spiritual character. The entry road, though only gravel tracks through native grasses, will be stabilized so cars in a funeral cortege can park off to the side (see Fig. 11 and 12). The road can be plowed in winter on an as-needed basis. The cemetery will offer a full range of burial alternatives: in-ground burial, above-ground crypts, niches and scattering grounds for cremation remains, and a variety of possibilities for memorializing those buried elsewhere. (See Figs. 13-1.8). This variety will facilitate wintertime burials. Crypts and niches will be integrated into slope retaining walls and accessed by compacted gravel and stone pathways accessible to all. Amore informal dirt path will continue farther up the hill to a small meditation space hidden in the forest and sheltered from the noise of the highway (see Fig. 19). Shutter fronts for crypts and niches will be flame-finished, rosy-gray granite, and conventional shutter systems will be modified to be compatible with the cemetery's intended rustic character. MemorialiTadon will be understated. Cast bronze plaques on memorial boulders will be offered to remember those not buried here (see Figs. 20 and 21). Others may wish w plant trees as living memorials. Headstones for graves will be low, gray to rosy-gray granite boulders limited in dimension which can be inscribed or on which a bronze plaque can be placed (see Fig. 22). Very light to white marbles and granites are to be avoided. Sandstones, though native, aze not as durable for monuments and therefore are not recommended. VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN 19 C. THE MASTER PLAN (cont'd) Maintenance requirements will be minimized by the selection of durable stone as a design motif in walls and pavements and by the exclusive use of native plant materials. Suggested paving materials are random flagstone on sand in meditation areas and near crypt walls, and crushed granite or gravel pathways elsewhere, adequately compacted to allow wheelchair access. Railings and gateways are to be hand-wrought iron. Steps will be large flagstone slabs laid informally. The only substantial landscaping anticipated other than grass seeding is the reforestation of buffer zones at the east and west ends to screen neighbors. Overall, the character of the cemetery will be overwhelmingly organic, indigenous, and quietly beautiful. It is also anticipated that the cemetery pathways and spaces will provide some limited opportunities for quiet recreation and that memorial markers together will provide a social and natural history of the Gore Valley community that may be of interest to visitors.

CEMETERY MASTER PLAN 28 D. DEVELOPMENT COMPONENTS OF THE I1~IITIAL PHASE It is recommended that the tasks below be completed in order to open the cemetery. Infrastructure 1. Unpaved access road and turnazound 2. All earthwork required to grade the road, establish burial terraces, build the screening berm to the south and west of the turnazound, and lay out the basic pathway system. 3. Water line 4. Electrical line 5. Surface drainage features, if any are needed beyond those that are integral to the construction of burial vaults, crypts, and niches. 6. Meadow revegetation . 7. Tree planting, particularly conifers at the roadway entry, forest edge, and along the south and west edges of the site to screen the Matterhorn neighborhood. 8. Irrigation system Cemetery Elements 1. Key public spaces at the arrival area, next to the turnaround, and, above it, a small ceremony space. 2. Special features at the roadway entry and the arrival area. 3. Placement of boulders for retaining walls needed in this phase. 4. Handrails and wrought iron fencing where required by code on retaining walls: 5. Stone paving, stone steps, and gravel pathways shown in Phase I. 6. 20 crypts (all of those projected for Phase n - 7. 50 niches (half of the number anticipated in Phase I) 8. All the projected burial plots for the first fifty years (phases 1-3), of which approximately 30 are to include concrete burial vaults. 9. Ten monument boulders for the mounting of cenotaphs and other memorials. 10. Benches other than those that are memorials to individuals. 11. Planting areas of shrubs and native groundcovers around rock walls and monuments. 12. Subsurface drainage system associated with crypts, niches and vaults. VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN - 29 E. CAPACITY AND PHASING Table 4 outlines burial inventory by phase. Development has been divided into six roughly equal phases, each of about fifteen years duration. Expansion beyond the limits of these phases is not anticipated. The numbers in each column indicate the estimated physical capacity of the site as shown for each phase on the master plan drawing (Fig. 8). In-ground burial places represent about one-fourth of the combined total of plots, crypts and niches. It is not necessary to build all Phase 1 inventory at the outset in order to open the cemetery, although there aze certain physical and economic efficiencies in building niches, crypts and vaults in lazger blocks of at least 20. Table S: Burial Inventory Projections by Phase per Master Plan Design INVENTORY PHASE 1 PHASE 2-3 PHASE 4-6 TOTAL CONSULTANT'S 10-15 YEARS (15-50 (50-100 (100 ESTIMATE OF YEARS) YEARS) YEARS) DEMAND IN-GROUND BURIAL 126 0 131 257° 180° PLOTS' CRYPTS 28 32 62 122 120 NICHES 118 189 294 601 600 TOTAL BURIAL 272 221 487 980 900 SPACES2 ' More in-ground burials are possible if a decision were made to utilize other open space above and below the cemetery access road. Double-depth burial plots could also be sold if desired. z Because cenotaphs and other forms of memorialization for those already dead, buried elsewhere, or cremated and scattered are virtually' unlimited in number, they are not included in these estimates of inventory. ' ' Sloane's estimate of demand for various types of burial spaces over the 100 year active life of the Vail cemetery are based on a straight-line projection of about 15 burial places per year, compared with the Vail areas present death rate, which averages 3 to 4 deaths per year. a The cemetery site, as designed, accommodated more burial plots than the management consultant's estimate. The additional plots would not be developed unless needed. VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN 30 V. CAPITAL COSTS A. ~ FIRST PHASE DEVELOPMEI~IT As outlined in the previous section, most of the infrastructure needed over the life of the cemetery, including roads, grading, irrigation and utilities, as well as major buffer landscaping, is to be installed in the initial phase of development However, not all of the projected Phase 1 burial inventory needs to be.built at the outset. These projections assume that all of the crypts needed in the first phase (20) and half the niches (50 of 100 in Phase 1) will be constructed at the beginning. It also assumes that all the burial plots needed for the first fifty years of the cemetery will be prepared during initial development. A need for at least 90 burial plots was estimated for phases 1-3, but the site can accommodate up to 125 in these phases. In the initial phase, 30 contiguous burial plots would be constructed with concrete vaults. ' The table below summarizes anticipated costs for the initial phase of development, including all items thought necessary to open the cemetery. A detailed cost estimate is included as Appendix F. To some extent, it would be possible to scale back the number of burial spaces and other cemetery components if it were thought necessary to reduce the costs of the initial opening phase. However, it may not be possible to cover substantial deferred capital costs for subsequent phases out of operating revenues.

Table 6: Summary of Estimated Initial Capital Costs If the Vail cemetery is not built until 1995, an inflation factor of 5% per year should be added, bringing the total to $660,270. VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN 31 B. COSTS OF SUBSEQUENT PHASES It is the intent that subsequent phases of expansion at the cemetery would be undertaken as demand warrants and that additional burial inventory would be paid for by accumulated revenues from sales. The costs of improvements that are not duectiy paid for by sales, such as additional stone retaining walls that do not contain crypts or niches, are difficult to estimate because the higher portions of the site will complicate construction. Table 7 summarizes the estimated costs and retail value (in present dollars) of projected inventory beyond the initial phase of development.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE MINTURN CEMETERY If the Vail cemetery is to be operated by the Eagle Gore Cemetery District, then the ballot proposal for funding its construction will also include monies for the needed expansion and improvement of Riverview Cemetery in Minttun. Cemetery Commissioners estimate the following costs will be incurred to improve an adjacent 2.5 acre parcel that the Town of Minturn plans to dedicate to the existing cemetery. Please see Table 8 for a cost estimate for the hiinturn Cemetery. The Cemetery District may also wish to secure management control and possibly ownership of the old cemetery referred to as the Intermountain property. The additional cost would be minimal. D. FUNDING OF INITIAL DEVELOPMENT COSTS A funding plan to provide for both the improvements at Minttrm's Riverview Cemetery and the construction of the new Vail cemetery has been prepared by the Cemetery District commission with assistance from the Town of Vail Finance Director. It asstunes that all needed improvements at Riverview will be done in 1994, and that construction of the Vail cemetery will be deferred until 1995, although design and engineering drawings would be completed in 1994. . The plan proposes to fund both the capital improvements and ongoing ..Y:,.ating expenses through a p.„r;,.~,r tax mill levy. The gross tax revenue required is estimated at $476,725 in 1994 and 1995, and just under $50,000 per year thereafter for District operating costs. As shown in Table 9, the estimated r,.„r;,,~~ tax per $100,000 market value would be $15.60 in each of the first two years and $1.64 annually thereafter.

ENVIRONIV~ENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A. PRELIMINARY GEOTECHMCAL STUDY In October 1992, Chen Northern conducted exploratory borings on the upper bench site, as well as various laboratory tests to evaluate the feasibility of the r...r.,sed cemetery development and to provide preliminary - recommendations for grading, drainage and foundation design of minor structures and pavement sections. They assessed both surficial soil deposits and subsurface conditions. They found topsoils 1 to 2 feet. in depth overlying subsoils of medium dense, silty to clayey sand and gravels interspersed with cobbles and boulders typical of alluvial and colluvial terraces. No free water was encountered in the borings, though subsoils were moist. Based on its reconnaissance, Chen identified several geologic conditions that could affect the project. The primary one is the existence of three debris fans in the project area resulting from high sediment concentration floods and recurring debris flows in the vicinity. Although no debris flows are known to have occtuTed in the project area, the three fans aze thought to be still active, and there is a risk that small and infrequent debris flows could occur. . Because of the relatively low risk, special mitigations aze not deemed necessary, and the project as y.~~,osed should not increase the debris flow hazard to other existing properties. Neither on-site observation nor regional rockfall hazard studies indicate that the site is exposed to rockfall hazards. Further, there was no field evidence of active or recently active landslides in the cemetery area. The proposed limited site disturbance and grading should not result in slope instability if properly engineered. Finally, while there is potential for moderately strong earthquake hazazd in the Vail azea. the proposed facilities should not be particularly susceptible to ground shaking, and earthquake resistant design would not be ayY..,~.:ate. In its October 30, 1992 geotechnical report, the consultants concluded. that "development of the cemetery should be feasible based on the geologic conditions and geotechnical considerations. The construction should be mainly within the open field below the upper, steep forested part of the property to limit slope stability impacts and grading requirements. With proper design and construction, it should be feasible to extend the development into the aspen forest area to a maximum slope grade of about 25%" (page 11). Design recommendations to mitigate potential problems included standards for unretained cuts and fills, spread footings, retaining walls, surface drainage and underdrain systems, pavements, and concrete vaults (pages 11-14). The complete text of Chen Northern's report is included as Appendix H. I3. WATER SUPPLY The cemetery property includes no deeded water rights. Although it would be possible to supply water from wells if permits could be obtained or to irrigate the grounds with non-potable water, discussions with the Upper Eagle Valley Water and Sanitation District suggest that the best alternative is to connect the facility to municipal water lines. Anon-potable water system would be considerably more costly because of the need to install separate lines. To reduce water usage, the landscape scheme will specify native, low-water plant species. VAIL CEMETERY MASTER PLAN - 35 C. OTHER ISSUES IDE1~ i iri~D AS POSSIBLE CONCERNS A preliminary environmental analysis was conducted in November 1992 by the Community Development Department staff to identify any sensitive environmental issues that might be associated with the development of a cemetery at Donovan Park. Using a series of questions designed to flag areas of higher risk, the study suggests that the risks of impacts are greatest in four areas: ecology (habitat disturbance); surface water (run-off and sedimentation); groundwater. and aesthetics (visual impacts). Assessing each of these, the study concludes that, based on the conceptual design plan, "no significant impact is anticipated from the development of a cemetery .at Donovan Park. With planned landscape enhancements, there may be a beneficial impact for wildlife habitat by increasing cover around the site. The only potential for environmental impact is from groundwater contamination. However, based on the [small] number of unde.~.~,tnd . burials projected for the site, the concentration and rate of discharge would be extremely low and would not pose a threat to drinking water." Staff does not foresee the need for further in-depth environmental analysis of the project. The complete text of the preliminary environmental review is included as Appendix I. D. ~1ITIGATION MEASURES To reduce the potential for negative impacts, the following measures are recommended in the design, construction, and operation of the cemetery: 1. Protect and retain existing trees and shrubs on the site to maintain habitat and ensure soil stability. 2. Use additional plantings of aspens and conifers as an edge to the upper park site in order to enhance habitat value. 3. Install groundwater monitoring stations between the cemetery and the two existing groundwater wells if the number of underground burials exceeds 500. (The plan projects only 180 in-ground burials in the first 100 years of the cemetery.) 4. Use native plants with low water requirements to minimize the need for watering and reduce potential impacts on groundwater. 5. Overlot grading should direct upslope surface runoff away from burial sites and vehicular circulation paths. J VAII. CEMETERY MASTER PLAN 36 VII. IMPLEMENTATION The following list is an outline of action steps that the consultant team recommends be taken by the Town of Vail _ Community Development Department in order to open the cemetery. (Please note, these are not necessarily in chronological order.) A. Public Aonroval Process 1. Gain final PEC a~,Y..,val of a conditional use permit for the cemetery on the Donovan Park site. 2. Gain final Town Council ayy.., gal of the master plan, the capital expenditure and financing plan, and the master plan's policq recommendations. 3. Agree on a name for the cemetery. 4. Make a presentation of the final master plan to the Eagle County Commissioners and the Town of Minturn. 5. Make other preparations as needed for the November tax election: public meetings, communications. I3. Management 1. Draft a contractual agreement for approval by the Vail Town Council and the Eagle Valley Cemetery District. 3. Plan a work session with the Eagle -Valley Cemetery Commissioners [o begin work on: a. recommendations for improvements in its manageriaUadministrative capability. b. a detailed managerial and operational methodology. c. identification of staffing needs. d. plan and budget for marketing and sale of plots, crypts, niches, and memorials. C. Design and Construction of First Phase 1. Establish a schedule and budget for production of design development and construction documents. 2. Commission additional survey information for the platting of burial sites. 3. Using the design development drawings, refine the cost estimate for first phase construction. 4. Refine the cost estimate for improvements at Minturn's Riverview Cemetery. 5. Conclude agreements with Upper Eagle Valley Water & Sanitation District and with Holy Cross Electric Association for utility services. 6. Finalize design guidelines and obtain their a~,Y,.,val by the District, Town, and Cemetery Task Force. 7.Optional: the Cemetery District may wish to consider construction in 1994 of some cemetery elements, such as an entry monument, signage and perhaps some memorial cenotaphs, in order to establish the cemetery as a sanctified place prior to its actual construction in 1995.

The area of disturbance will be roughly 88,400 SF, or just over 2 acres. Of this area, approximately 7,500 SF will be gravel road tracks or paths, 3,500 SF for flagstone paving and steps, and 1,000 SF for walls, leaving 77,400 SF in vegetation, of which just over 74,000 SF will be reseeded with native grasses. 2. An excess of fill over cut is required to create the berm at the west end for screening from the neighborhood and to develop a flatter turnaround area at the end of the entry road. 3. Rough grading for the entry road is included in the total figure for overiot rough grading. 4. The 3' wide cobble swale runs alongside the entry road where needed to direct slope run-off. 5. Itemized unit costs for niches and crypts follow in a separate estimate from HEPY. 6. Concrete burial vaults are optional and not required by Colorado state law. However, designers and Cemetery Task Force members recommend their use to prevent soil subsidence and to facilitate wintertime burials. The most efficient installation is 30 to 50 units at one time. . 7. These prices are for spruce and fir, field dug or nursery grown and installed. Lodgepole pine are approximately 20% less expensive. . 8. Quantities for aspen in all sizes assume that 50% are multi-stemmed. 9. All new trees, shrubs and planting beds will need irrigation, either drip or spray. A temporary system will be needed for all reseeded areas until the grasses become established. NOT INCLUDED IN COST ESTIMATE: Computer system and software Sales and marketing materials Election and bonding costs Fee for owners' representative, if any, during construction Site lighting (none anticipated) Tree transplanting (none anticipated) Subsurtace drainage system, in addition to elements already budgeted as part of the construction cost of crypts and niches (none anticipated) 09/14/93 J CEMETERY COST ESTIMATE ' DETAILS FOR UTILITIES ON SITE WATER 1. Irrigation with raw water requires water rights for Gore Creek. However, it is probable that the Vail Valley Conosolidated Water District already owns all available Gore Creek rights. Further, a separate system of lines and pumps would have to be installed at considerable expense and easements for such lines obtained from Gore Creek to the site. (Jerry Bender, UEVWD) 2. Irrigation with well water requires a separate state permit, which is not difficult for municipalities, but can be complicated.if there is already another existing source available. A large well (1000 gpm) could cost as much as $100,000; the proponents of the par 3 golf course proposed for East Vail found it cheaper to use municipal water. (Ernie Bender, VRD) 3. The costs to connect to the existing municipal system would include: $1000 Water tap fee (waived for municipalities) 4000 Installation of the water tap: excavation of pit, 4' manhole, backflow preventor, pressure reducing valve 2250 Trench and 3" line, estimated 320' from existing water main $7250 Total (less $1000 if tap fee is waived) ELECTRICAL SERVICE 1. The customer pays for and installs everything except the transformer. The $100 permit fee would be waived if service is in the Town of Vail's name. (Holy Cross Electric) 2. No night lighting is anticipated, but electricity is needed for the irrigation control panel and other possible maintenance and service functions. The minimum available is 60 amp, 1'20-240 V. secondary service from the nearest pole. Lines from the pole and inside the site would be underground. 3. The costs to install electrical service would include: $6500 500 linear feet of underground line from nearest pole to site: trench and compact ($5.00/LF), install 2" schedule 80 conduit and wire ($7-8.00/LF). 100 Electrical panel 1000-1500 Electrician's services to connect line to pole: meter, riser $8000 est.

PLANNING • DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS • RESEARCH April 27, 1994 Ms. Kristan Pritz, Director - Department of Community Development Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Jim Curnutte Department of Community Devel.,r~~,ent Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 RE: Cornice Building Dear kristan and Jim: As you are aware, a condition of approval for the Cornice Building SDD requires the applicant to submit a plan outlining the manner ;<n which off-site employee rental units w;<ll be prov;<ded to replace the three existing rental units in the Cornice Building. This plan is to be submitted to the Town Council for their review and approval prior to the issuance of a building or demolition permit for the redevelopment of the building. As we discussed last week, I would request that this discussion be placed on the Town Council's Work Session agenda for May 3rd. The following summarizes the SDD condition of approval and describes the existing Cornice Building units and the off-site units that are proposed to satisfy this condition. The description of proposed off-site units outlines the type of umt proposed (i.e. Type I-V), an assessment of how each unit will comply with applicable review criteria, a schedule for when each unit would be made available, and additional review/approvals that would be required for each unit. Thank you for your time reviewing this material. Please do not hesitate to call with any questions . , you may have. I would be very happy to organize a site visit to each of these units prior to Tuesdays meeting. Sincerely, Thomas A. Braun, AICP Suite 204, Vail National Bank Building 108 South Frontage Road West • Vail, Colorado 81657 • (303) 476-7154 CORNICE BUILDING OFF-SITE UNIT PROPOSAL Cornice Building Condition of Approval Prior to the issuance of a demo/building permit for the redevelopment of the building, the applicant shall present a proposal for providing the three off-site units to the Town Council for their review and approval at a regularly scheduled meeting. The off-site units shall comply with the following: • Permanently restricted in accordance with the Town of Vail EHU Ordinance. • Comply with all applicable requirements of Town of Vail EHU Ordinance. • Each unit shall have a kitchen. • Units shall be located within the Town of Vail. • Units shall be located close to a Town of Vail bus route. • Units shall be rented at reasonable rates. - • Units shall be restricted and available for occupancy prior to the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy for-the Cornice Building. ' Existing Cornice Building Units The following summarizes the existing Cornice Building rental units: • The use of units is restricted to long term employee rental unti12005. • 3 studio units, each approximately 225 square feet. • No laundry facilities • No storage facilities. Proposed Off-site Units The following units are intended to satisfy requirements for two of the three required off-site units: 1) ~ Golf Course Unit Location: 1157 Vail Valley Drive Unit Type: Type II Unit Size: 300 square feet New/Existing: New unit Availability: Prior to issuance of T.C.O. for Cornice Building unit The applicant is scheduled to close on aTwo-Family/Duplex lot located on the Vail Golf Course in late Spring. Conceptual plans for a duplex residence were recently presented to the DRB. If this location is acceptable to the Town Council, applications will be made to add an ~EHU to~this site. This alternative would represent.a new unit added to Vail's housing stock and all applicable provisions of the EHU Ordinance would be satisfied. The unit is located approximately 1,000 feet from a Golf Course Route bus stop. Additional APnmv~ This unit would require review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the PEC and final DRB approval. 2) Cornice Building Unit Location: 362 Vail Valley Drive Unit Type: Type IV Unit Size: 300 square feet . New/Existing: New unit Availability: ~ Prior to issuance of T.C.O. for main unit in Cornice Building The Cornice Building received final DRB approval on Apri120th. The building approved by the DRB reflects essentially the same bulk and mass as the building arY~.,ved by the Town Council. The required reduction in GRFA to 2,000 was satisfied by reducing the size of the ground level and backfilling a portion of the ground floor of the.building. During the review of this SDD a wide variety of comments were expressed by the Council regarding whether employee units should be located on the Cornice Building site. It is our belief that utilizing a pornon of the ground floor for an employee housing unit is the most positive and efficient use of space. A revised ground level floor plan indicating a 300 square foot unit has been prepared. This alternative would represent a new unit added to Vail's housing stock and all applicable provisions of the EHU Ordinance would be satisfied. If approved, GRFA on this site would be as follows: Main Unit - 2,000 square feet "EHU - 344 squaze feet Total GRFA - 2,300 square feet ' This alternative includes 2,300 square feet of GRFA, 300 more than what was approved by the Council. The addition of this GRFA can be justified for a number of reasons. First, the 2,300 squaze feet is well below the 2,445 squaze feet the site is permitted by underlying zoning. Second, the additional square footage will not increase the bulk and mass of the building that was approved by the Council. Third, the additional square footage over _ 2,000 square feet would be used for a permanently restricted EHU. The addition of the EHU would technically require one additional parking space. As discussed during the review of the SDD, no more than two on-site spaces aze acceptable to the Council. In light of this, we would request that the on-site pazking requirement for the EHU be waived. As with the GRFA, there are a number of compelling reasons for this request. First, the pazking fund represents a viable alternative for satisfying this parking requirement. Second, the property is located adjacent to the Town parking structure. Third, the proximity of the Village and Town bus line reduces the tenant's dependence on a car. It is our belief that this alternative represents awin-win situation for the owner and the Town: • Anon-site EHU on this location has many advantages over an EHU located elsewhere in the'town and the addition of ~an on-site unit is consistent with comments made by some members of the Council regarding the Village bedbase and the desirability of rental units in this location. • The unit can be designed to provide all amenities required for a Type IV unit (laundry, storage). • The overall building design does not change from what was approved at first reading - a design that appeazed to be acceptable to the Town Council. • The additional GRFA is well below what is permitted by the property's underlying zoning. i • With the addition of an EHLJ, the property would still be in compliance with underlying zoning which permits up to 2 dwelling units. • The existing on-site rental units have functioned for a number of years with no on- site parking and the location of the Village Parking Structure provides a very viable alternative to on-site parking for the EHLJ. Additional Annrnva~ This unit would require an amendment to the approved Cornice Building SDD, approval to . utilize the Town's pay-in-lieu parking fund for the one additional parking space, and. a Conditional Use Permit for the EHL1. The following two units are proposed as alternatives for providing the third off-site unit. As described below, either of these units can satisfy the specific requirements that have been established for these replacement units and both represent dramatic improvements over the existing Cornice Building units. - - 3) Intermountain Unit Location: 2635 Larkspur Unit Type: I Unit Size: approximately 900 square feet New/Existing: Existing unit Availability: Prior to issuance of permit for Cornice Building This is an existing secondary unit of aPrimary/secondary residence in Intermountain. While the unit has been inexistence for many years, it has recently been remodeled. The unit is approximately one block from an Intermountain bus stop. Additional Approvals This unit would require review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the PEC. 4) East Vail Unit Location: 4030 East Frontage Road North Unit Type: Type II Unit Size: 350-400 square feet New/Existing: New unit Availability: Prior to issuance of T.C.O. for main unit in Cornice Building This unit would be created by remodeling existing space within an existing unit of a duplex structure. This space is currently unfinished. This alternative would represent a new unit added to Vail's housing stock and all applicable provisions of the EHU Ordinance would be satisfied. The unit is located approximately one quarter mile feet from an East Vail bus stop. . . Additional An r,I O~ vals This unit would require review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the PEC and DRB approval. I' Summary of Proposed Units • Each unit will be permanently restricted in accordance with the EHIJ ordinance. Current restrictions on the existing Cornice Building units expire in 2005. • Each unit is located within the Town of Vail. • Each is located proximate to a Town of Vail bus line. • Three of the four proposed units are new units that would be added to Vail's housing stock. The one unit that is not new has recently been remodeled. • Each of the units exceed the square footage of the existing Cornice Building-units.

I. March 9. 1987 -The Learning Tree Preschool located at 129 North Frontage Road received approval of .their request for a conditional use permit in order to construct an addition to their facility. The proposed addition was 560 square feet. The conditional use permit request received a 6-0 vote in favor of approval by the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC). II. June 11. 1990-The ABC School located at 149 North Frontage Road made a request to the PEC for an amendment to an existing conditional use permit in order to add 868 square feet to the daycare facility. As part of the conditional use amendment request, the applicants proposed to asphalt and stripe the parking area which would provide thirteen long-term spaces and five short-term spaces. The PEC approved the request 6-0 in favor. III. September 14. 1992 -The applicant, ABC School, located at 149 North Frontage Road, made a request to the PEC for a variance from the parking standards for paving to allow for a gravel parking lot. The applicant stated the hardship involved in this variance request is due to the estimated cost of $12,000.00 to pave the parking lot and the realization that the Town is considering this area as part of a proposed employee housing project in the near future. The applicant felt it would be practical to waive the paved parking requirement at the current time until the Town completes the employee housing project in this area and to determine the final outcome of its implications. In response to the applicant's request, the planning staff recommended approval to extend the conditional use permit for three years. However, the staff did not recommend approval of the applicant's variance request. The PEC motion to approve the extension of the conditional use permit was approved 4-0 in favor. The variance request received a unanimous 4-0 vote to deny the variance request. Per the September, 1992 approval, the paving would need to be completed by September, 1995. 1 SENT BY:EAGLE COUNTY ; 4-26-94 11:37 i 3033287207 3034~92157;~ 1/ 4 ~ • , • _ April 26, 1934 - 10:41 ~ !_AGLC COUNIY BI.pII~IVG ;r .

The town is seeking to hire a land negotiator on a one-year contract. Notices are being mailed this week to local land managers, real estate agents, planners and attorneys who might be interested in the project. "We're looking for someone who has the ability to acquire open space, to negotiate conservation or trail . easements, and who can help establish an effective property management system for ,the town," said Russell Forrest, the town's senior environmental planner. "Once hired, the consultant will be taking direction from the town manager," he said. The application deadline is May 27. Forrest said the town is hoping to hire the consultant by June. The open lands plan was approved by the Town Council~on March 1, 1994. The multi-year plan recommends 34 priority actions, including the protection of 12 (more) Open Lands/Add 1 properties identified as "sensitive natural areas." Protection methods would include establishment of conservation easements oracquisition. The estimated cost to complete the plan is $4.6 million, including $2 million for the first year. Funding for the open lands plan will come from,the town's one percent real estate transfer tax (RETT), which generates an average of $1.5 million per year, Forrest said. The town also will apply for state trail funds and the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund to supplement existing resources for open lands protection. Those interested in the land negotiator contract are asked to contact Forrest for qualification information, scope of services and application procedures. Forrest can be reached in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. # # # TOWN OF VAIL rownroF~~n, ~ COMMUNITY I11IF0 TION Please help us update our mailing list by completing the information below: ?
