WORK SESSION

2:00 P.M. IN TOV COUNCIL CHAMBERS
EXPANDED AGENDA
2:00 P.M. 1. Site Visit: 274 Beaver Dam Road, Lot 20A, Part of Tract J, Block 7, Vail Valley, First
Russ Forrest Filing.
Action Requested of Council: Consider disposal of said property if a conservation
easement can be secured for the property.
Backaround Rationale: This is a Town owned parcel with covenant restrictions.
This parcel was identified in the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan as a parcel that
could be disposed of to generate revenues for other open lands purchases. There
are wetland plant species on a portion of the site, and it would be desirable to
place a conservation easement on the site to prevent development on that part of
the parcel.
Staff Recommendation: Dispose of property if a conservation easement can be
obtained on the parcel that would restrict development and a contract could be
secured that would preclude any additional GRFA being obtained as the result of
this purchase.
2:30 P.M. 2. Update re: Eagle Mine Clean-up.
Patricia Teik
Dick Parachini
Gene Taylor Action Requested of Council: Listen to update presented by Patricia Teik,
Russ Forrest representing the Eagle River Environmental Business Alliance. Dick Parachini
from the Colorado Department of Health and Gene Taylor of the U.S. EPA will also
provide and update on clean-up of the mine and future remediation actions.
Backaround Rationale: The Eagle Mine Superfund Site is a 235 acre abandoned
mining and milling facility located on the banks of the Eagle River near Minturn,
Colorado. The Eagle Mine area ore deposits (a large body of zinc and lead ore
along with some precious metals) were first mined in the 1870s. In the 1900s these
mines were consolidated by New Jersey Zinc Company, and in 1966 this company
merged with Gulf + Western which later became Paramount Communications. All
mining operations were abandoned in 1984. In 1986, the EPA placed the Eagle
Mine Site on the National Priority List (NPL), making it a designated Supertund
Site. Paramount is responsible for paying the cost of clean-up even though, after
the closure of the mine, the property was purchased by Battle MT Corp. The EPA
and the State entered into an agreement in 1986 which designated the Colorado
Department of Health (CDOH) as the "lead" agency for the Site clean-up. The
CDOH point of contact is Dick Parachini. Council has asked staff to monitor
clean-up on the Site which has been done through participation in EREBA and
direct communication with CDOH and EPA.
Staff Recommendation: Continue to encourage Paramount, CDOH, and EPA to
make adequate progress on the Remedial Action Plan (RAP).

3:55 P.M. 5. Presentation re: Installation of heated pavers at Gore Creek Promenade.
Larry Grafel
Action Requested of Council: Listen to presentation from staff an installation
costs. Give direction on whether to proceed with project.
Background Rationale: Staff was directed to investigate feasibility of installing
heated pavers in the Gore Creek Promenade are and ultimately in other key areas
of the Village. B&B Excavating is scheduled to repair the damaged paver sections
(warranty work) in the Promenade area later this month. If this area is to be
heated, we need to schedule this work to coincide with B&B's warranty work in
order to minimize disruption to business owners.
Staff Recommendation: Proceed 'rf priority of Council.

SUBJECT: BACKGROUND ON THE EAGLE MINE CLEANUP AND CURRENT STATUS
Staff: Russell Forrest
BACKGROUND
The Eagle Mine Superfund Site is a 235 acre abandoned mining and milling facility located on the
banks of the Eagle river near Minturn, Colorado. The Eagle Mine area ore deposits (a large body of
zinc and lead ore along with some precious metals) were first mined in the 1870's. In the 1900's
these mines where consolidated by New Jersey Zinc Company and in 1966 this company merged
with Gulf + Western which later became Paramount Communications. All mining operations where
abandoned in 1984. In 1986, the EPA placed the Eagle Mine Site on the National Priority List (NPL)
making it a designated Superfund Site. Paramount is responsible for paying the cost of clean-up
even though after the closure of the mine, the property was purchased by Battle MT Corp. The EPA
and the State entered into a Memorandum of Understandting (MOA) in 1986 which designated the
Colorado Dept. of Health (CDH) as the "lead" agency for the Site cleanup. The State negotiated a
Consent Decree with Paramount and took-effect in May 1988. Cleanup activities under the Consent
Decree began in August 1988 and have continued every summer since then. The CDH point of
contact is Dick Parachini.
AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT
The Eagle River and Cross Creek are the major surface water affected by metals contaminations.
Residues from the mining operation were left in five "Roaster Piles," located along the Eagle River.
Most of the tailings have been moved to the Consolidated Tailings Pile (CTP). The CTP has
negatively impacted surface water, ground water, and the wetland at Maloit Park. The CTP is
approximately 1000 feet from the Minturn Middle School and 1500 feet from residences living ,
adjacent to Maloit Park. Contamination to the Eagle River from the mine was detected as far away
as Gypsum in 1990. The Eagle River is a major visual feature in Eagle County and is used as a
water supply in the area. It is also highly valued for its fishing, boating, and other recreational
opportunities.

ISSUES
Heavy metals contamination of the Eagle River and groundwater has been the primary environmental
concern. There has also been considerable concern over the potential air borne pollutants (e.g.
Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, and Particulates) blowing from the Tailings Pile toward the Middle School.
The following is a list of specific issues.
¦ Potential for contamination of the Minturn Drinking Water supply(Well has been moved )
¦ PCB contamination from transformers in the mine (no unacceptable risk).
¦ Health threat to school children and nearby residents from air, soil, and water contamination
(EPA and CDH have issued a statement that the health of children and residents are not at
risk)
¦ Contamination and loss of wetlands.
¦ Impact to game fish and other aquatic life (fish population starting to slowly increase).
¦ Progress on capping the CTP has been ongoing and is approximately 60% complete.
¦ Inadequate fencing around the site to prevent children from entering.
¦ Drawing down water levels in the mine may reduce contamination.
Concern that a flood could occur if a mine plug blew.
¦ The proposed Homestake II project, if implemented, could significantly hamper clean-up of
the Eagle River by reducing stream flow. ,
¦ Town of Gilman closed and buildings have asbestos in them.
¦ Reuse of the site is unclear and the Federal Government is unwilling to take it. (Eagle County
discussing future zoning of area)
STATUS
The EPA issued a Record of Decision in 1993 that mandates specific remediation actions at the
mine site. The State and Paramount signed a Consent Decree in 1988 that also mandated specific
remediation requirements and there is some discussion as to how the EPA will implement its
decision. However, under Federal Law (i.e, CERCLA, SARA) the EPA does have the right to
require specific remedial actions on a Superfund site since they are the agency ultimately
responsible for delisting the site. The EPA has not overturned the state Consent Decree but has
essentially added to it. The EPA Record of Decision (ROD) identifies required remediation actions
that will cost approximately $17.3 million over 10 years. The ROD also requires a more stringent
target for cleanup of the Eagle River. These remediation actions involve:
¦ Collecting and treating subsurface seepage from the mine,
¦ Monitoring contamination from the roaster piles,
¦ Capping, monitoring, and reducing groundwater contamination from the CTP,
¦ Remove contaminated soil from the Maloit Wetlands and revegetate,
¦ Expansion of Biological Monitoring.
Work activities completed under the State Consent Decree in 1993 include:
¦ Removal of ponded water from CTP,
¦ Placement of 14 acres of clear cap section,
¦ Construction of sludge disposal cell,
¦ Installation of a sludge dewatering system,
¦ Evaluating performance of CTP ground water extraction trenches,,
¦ Evaluating mine draw down tests.
r
t
•
Work activities to be undertaken in 1994 include:
~ Complete regrading of CTP,
¦ Placement of clear cap on settled areas,
¦ Complete sludge cell construction,
¦ Improve surface mine seepage collection system, `
¦ Continue revegetation activities. -

r
I Dear Mr: Duprey: ,
The Tovun of Vail thanks you for your continuing efforts to implement the ROD. Although the
~ Colorado Department of Health's Consent i?ecrP.e worlcplan continues to move forward, wo are
frustrated that the 3 party Conscm Decree has not been signed at this time.
r
We arc; cbncemed that a situation will arise that was similar to last year. Due to negotiations the i
conscrucion season ~uvas delayed until Au~,ust, there were several deliverable 'dates that were not
` met, and (some of the deliverables that weze rnct did not meet State compliance objectives. This
resulted ~n penalties that were imposed by the State (not possible under the current Consent
Decree] i~nd a mediation session with the Special Master to rLmcdv cnmpl ianre objectives.
The existing Consent Decree kas been proven to be insufficient in many azeas, as cvidcuced by
the ~aeed for the water tr.,«l,.xrent plant; the lack of sufficient actions to deal with the waste rock
piles audi ~c cnfure;,czncnt mechanisms. ~t'e think it is imperative that the additions proposed by
the 3 parry Consent Decree be implemented into the current Statement of Work.
i
In addition, a discharge of collected mine water into tkre Eagle River last SeptemhPr has disclosecE ~
another weakness with the current Consent Ikcree, .from both an enforcement and penalty
standpni~t,. and fig.:. an emergerrcti~ responsiveness pcnpective. The implcmcntation of a
complete' and concise emerger?cy response action and notification of the eomr~rrunity is important
£or tlrc safGtv.of cvcry'anc tk~at utilirx~ Lle; waters downscreazn, and needs io be incorpor~tcd into
Paramount's responsibilities. j
i
I
1'~ We very much atrr~,ciate your continuing efforts to implement the ROD and our concerns. ~
Sincerely;, -

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR MAY 3
Work Session Briefs
--Noise in the Village Core -
After hearing from Town Attorney Tom Moorhead and listening to public comment from
eight citizens (mostly restaurant and bar owners), members of the Town Council
expressed general satisfaction with the current ordinance regulating noise in the village
core. The existing permit application establishes a maximum noise level of 65 decibels
from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a reduction to 60 decibels from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. The
Council had considered strengthening the ordinance following a formal complaint by
Sheiks Gramshammer of Gastof Gramshammer. Many who spoke at the meeting said
the ordinance, if strictly enforced, would create a "ghost town" atmosphere within the
village core.. However, Dan Telleen of Karats jewelry, encouraged police to follow up
on all complaints, even if they are anonymous. Telleen said amplified sound from other
businesses makes it difficult for him to talk with his customers if he leaves his shop
door open. Of the other ordinances reviewed from municipalities across the state,
Town Attorney Moorhead indicated the Town of Vail ordinance is the most

make the outcome positive for everyone. For more information, contact Tom Moorhead
at 479-2107, or Police Chief Ken Hughey at 479-2210.
--AI Walker Seminar
The Council voted 6-0 (Peggy Osterfoss was out of the room) to deny a request from
the Vail Recreation District to help share the cost of a facilitator for a May 26
presentation. AI Walker's seminar fee is $5,000 for a full day seminar on board/staff
relations. The Rec District had asked fora $1,000 contribution.
--Vail Cemetery Funding
The Council agreed to take the Vail cemetery issue back to the voters in November.
This time, the question will be asked of Vail voters only. Last November, voters in the
Eagle Gore Cemetery District rejected a mill levy issue to fund construction of a
cemetery in Vail. The levy also would have expanded the Riverview Cemetery in
Minturn. Councilmembers yesterday considered funding the $660,000 construction
cost of the Vail project with capital improvements funds, but decided it would make
more sense to ask voters if they 'support the cemetery. If approved, the town may enter
into a contract with the Eagle Gore Cemetery District for maintenance and operations.

A master plan for the cemetery, proposed for the upper bench of Donovan Park, was
approved by the Council last December. The cemetery would provide up to 980
memorial spaces to be used over the next _100 years. For more information, contact
Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at 479-2138, or Finance
Director Steve Thompson at 479-2116. Also, for a copy of results from the November
election, contact Suzanne Silverthorn at 479-2115.
--Cornice Building Housing
The Council denied a request from developers of the Cornice Building to add an
employee housing unit to the site, noting the potential for additional parking and access
problems. The Special Development District project requires three permanently
restricted employee housing units to be located off-site, however. In proposing
locations for the three off-site units, the developers were told that two of the proposed
units were acceptable and that the third unit would be reviewed by Council after
receiving variances from the Planning & Environmental Commission. For more
information, contact Jim Curnutte in the Community Development Department at 479-
2138.
~--ABC. School
After hearing background on a 1992 decision by the Planning and Environmental'
Commission (PEC) requiring operators of the ABC School to pave the school's parking
lot by September 1995, the Council agreed to allow the school to return to the PEC to
request a new variance. A variance had been granted previously due to the possibility
of construction of a housing project on the nearby Mountain Bell site. That project has
since been eliminated. The school has indicated the $12,000 cost of the paving would
be a hardship. The ABC School and the adjacent Learning Tree school each lease
their facilities from the Town of Vail. For more information, contact Kristan Pritz in the
Community Development Department at 479-2138.
--Federal Assistance for New Buses
Mayor Peggy Ostertoss gave an update on the town's efforts to obtain federal
funding for 10 new buses to improve the Vail transit system. Osterfoss and Public
Works/Transportation Director Larry Grafel went to Washington, D.C., last week to
meet with members of the Colorado congressional delegation for assistance. The town
is requesting a $2 million federal appropriation to be matched locally by 20 percent, or
$500, 000.

--Fire Lanes
An ordinance was approved on second reading updating the town's fire lanes. For

--Tele-Communications, Inc./Liberty Media Corporation
The Council unanimously approved a resolution recognizing the reorganization of Tele-
communications, Inc., and Liberty Media Corporation. The resolution does not impact
the town's current cable franchise agreement with TCI. For more information, contact
Town Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107.
--Pedotto Rezoning Request
The Council, on a 5-2 first reading vote, approved an ordinance rezoning a tract from
primary/secondary residential to low density multi-family. The property is located at
2850 Kinnickinnick Road. In addition, the Council voted 4-3 to approve a minor
subdivision request for the property. The applicant, Juanita Pedotto, has proposed
construction of 19 dwelling units in 14 structures on 2.49 acres of land, including three
permanently deed restricted employee housing units. Neighborhood opponents said
they preferred larger, but fewer, structures on the property allowable by the current
zoning. For more information, contact Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development
Department at 479-2138.

TOWN OF VAIL SPONSORS CONSTRUCTION KICK-OFF MEETING
TO IMPROVE COORDINATION WITH BUILDERS
(Vail)--The Town of Vail will help launch the construction season again this year
through sponsorship of a "kick-off" meeting for contractors, architects and others
interested in Vail's construction process. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Tuesday (5-10) in the Council Chambers.
There, representatives from the town's building division, public works
department, fire department and others will be on hand to offer tips and other
guidelines to help avoid costly delays and other inconveniences.
Information on permits, inspections, fees and other regulations will be discussed,
including updates to the Uniform Building Code and conditions required by the
American Disabilities Act.
The kick-off program was introduced last season and has been well received,
said Kristan Pritz, Community Development Director.
"We had a decrease in problems on construction sites last year, which we think
may be attributed to the town staff taking steps to better inform contractors about
(more)
Construction Season/Add 1
TOV regulations," Pritz said. "We appreciate the building community's
cooperation."
Last year's meeting drew about 75 participants, Pritz said.
At the end of April, the town had issued 126 building permits, representing a
total valuation of 57.5 million, for 1994. That compares with 123 permits valued
at 59.9 million for the same period a year ago, according to Gary Murrain, the
town's chief building official.
"We're estimating building activity will be down about seven percent from last
year, due to the lack of large projects such as the Liftside Condominium project,"
Murrain said.
For more information on the kick-off meeting, contact the Community
Development Department at 479-2138.

I. IMPORTANT CHECKPOINTS DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS:
A. All zoning and design approvals must be obtained before a building permit can
be released. The Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) addresses
variances to height, setbacks, site coverage and other zoning and subdivision
standards as well as condition use permits and special development districts.
The staff cannot approve variances to the zoning code. The Design Review
Board (DRB) looks at all exterior changes to buildings, grading and
landscaping. Minor exterior changes may be approved by the planning staff.
Fire and building will provide free plan check advice before you actually submit
your building plans. Please take advantage of this service.
B. Submitting for a building permit: -
7. Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board
conditions of approval must be addressed at this time. These
include employee housing agreements, hazard reports, revocable
right-of-way permits, etc.
2. A temporary construction parking, dumpster, material delivery, fencing
and staging plan is needed for most projects unless it is a minor permit..,
Any requests for over-sized vehicles in the public right-of-way should be
addressed in your staging plan and require a special construction
request which is approved by Planning, Public Works, Fire and Building.
3. Driveway Standards for two dwelling units or less:
Grades stated are maximum and not average:
•up to 8%, no heat required.
•8 to ~ 0°~°, Town Engineer approval required.
•10 to 12%, Town. Engineer approval and heat required.
4. The public way permit (street cut permit) for temporary access to
your building site must be approved before the Community
Development Department will be able to issue a building permit.
The public way permit will be attached to your building permit
application.
The public way permit must be approved by Public Works. A
construction traffic control plan is required with the public way permit in
most cases.
C. ~ Inspections
1. The first inspection will be for the project's temporary access and
drainage. This is important to allow safe access and drainage at the
building site and is intended to avoid impeding traffic and drainage on
the public way.
2. Foundation Inspection
The Town recommends that you check the feasibility of meeting
your driveway grades as indicated on the approved plans, location
of building and retaining walls. Many problems can be avoided in
the future by checking these items at this time.
3. Pre-framing
Before the Town can do a framing inspection, the Community
Development Department will need to review your Improvement
Location Certificate (ILC). The staff uses the ILC to check setbacks
and the height of the project: Staff asks that you allow 48 hours
for us to review the ILC.
4. Framing Inspection
The building inspectors will check general floor plans to make sure they
match the building permit plans at this time.
5. Driveway Rough Grade Inspection (prior to gravel and paving)
Public Works will be willing to come out to the site to check your
drainage, the-public way and driveway grade if you desire. This is
another check that can avoid problems at the time of Temporary
Certificate of Occupancy.
6. Pre-Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) - In order to get a
Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, all exterior finish work must
be completed (siding, paint, stucco). If the driveway is paved, the
Public Works Department will do a final grade check and drainage
for the site and road check.
For commercial, mixed use and certain residential projects, the Town
requires a Developer's Agreement and letter of credit or bond to insure ~
that paving, landscaping and other site improvements will be completed.
Please be sure to allow approximately two weeks for the Town Attorney,
Town Engineer and Town Planner to review bids and the developer's
agreement.
a
7. Final Certificate of Occupancy (CO)
A final site inspection will occur before the final Certificate of Occupancy
can be issued. The driveway, public way, site drainage and landscaping
will be reviewed at this time. -
MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Andy Knudtsen, Senior Planner,
Community Development Department
DATE: May 10, 1994
SUBJECT: Christmas tree lighting
Section 18.54.050 (J)3 discusses exemptions to the recently adopted lighting section of the
Zoning Code. Christmas Tree lights of a temporary nature were allowed in residential zone
districts between November 1st and April 15th of each year. Christmas tree lights in
commercial zone districts are allowed twelve months of the year. 1 hope this answers the
questions about Christmas tree lighting that were raised during the last worksession. If
anyone has further questions about this, please do not hesitate to give us a call at Community
Development.

Dear Resource Center Supporters:
I hope that this is a peaceful season for you, and a season of enjoyment of our
beautiful community. Please join me in welcoming the new growth in community
projects for our Valley!
Many, many thanks to our wonderful volunteers who operate the crisis line, the
Buddies and CourtWatch programs, and who help us with our fundraising events,
regardless of their overflowing schedules. We sincerely appreciate your dedication.
The Buddies Program is doing well, and has been expanded to encompass the
entire Eagle Valley. Ellen Cochran is the coordinator of the program, and is
currently seeking caring adults to match with Junior Buddies. For more
information on how you can make a difference in a young person's life; call Ellen at
949-7086.
A community project coordinated by the Eagle County Department of Social
Services, the Family Mediation Program is seeking referrals. The trained
mediators team up to help adolescents and their families mediate specific issues. A
benefit of this program will be the role modeling of good communication skills, as
well as an opportunity for the volunteer mediators to learn a terrific new skill!
Take advantage of this valuable family service by calling Kathy Reed at 328-8840.
Before I close, I'd like to tell you of one more project The Resource Center is
involved in. It is a CourtWatch program designed to educate the people involved
in the Court process, as well as help TRC keep track of inconsistencies in cases
involving domestic abuse and sexual assault. There is also a victim advocacy
component to support the needs of victims while they manuever through the often
difficult legal system. If you would like to participate in this program, please
contact Dee through our office, at 949=7086.
Sincerely yours,
Cherie Palter

CABLEVISION VI, INC.

Vail, Colorado System
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
(a) Organization
Cablevision VI, Inc., d/b/a TCI Cablevision of the Rockies, Inc.
("TCI-Rockies") owns the assets of several cable television systems
within the states of Colorado, Missouri, and Iowa including those of
the cable television system located in Vail, Colorado. Cablevision
VI, Inc. is wholly owned by Heritage Investment, Inc., an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Tele-Communications, Inc..("TCI").
The books and records of TCI, including TCI-Rockies, are maintained
in a manner consistent with its financing and internal operating
needs. Within' such books and records, the operations of certain
systems (or groups of systems) are maintained separately in order to
internally evaluate the results of such operations. The
accompanying .balance sheet and statement of operations were
prepared, by necessity, using estimates and allocations for Vail and
several nearby communities. These financial statements are
restricted to the internal use of the Town of Vail, Colorado only.
Due to the aforementioned, the accompanying financial statements do
not purport to be indicative of the financial position and the .
results of operations that would be reported for the cable
television system in Vail, Colorado had its books and records been
maintained separate and apart from other cable television systems
owned by TCI-Rockies.
(b) Protierty and Eauinment
On the books of TCI-Rockies, property and equipment is stated at
cost. Construction costs of the cable television system, including
interest during construction and applicable overhead, are
capitalized.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis using estimated
useful lives of 5 to 15 years for the cable distribution system and
3 to 40 years for support equipment and buildings.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations, and renewals and
additions are capitalized. At the time of ordinary retirements,
sales, or other disposition of property, the original cost and cost
of removal of such property are charged to accumulated depreciation,
and salvage, if any., is credited thereto. Gains or losses are only
recognized in connection with the sale of properties in their
entirety.
(c) Franchise Costs
Franchise costs include the difference between the cost of acquiring
the cable television systems and amounts assigned to their tangible
assets as well as costs incurred in obtaining franchises. These
amounts are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

whereby such subsidiary's management provides administrative services and
has assumed managerial responsibility for certain cable television
systems' operations and construction. As compensation for these services,
TCI-Rockies was charged for certain overhead and administrative expenses
on a per subscriber basis. Charges. under such management agreement
relating to the cable television system located in Vail, Colorado in the

expenses in the accompanying financial statements.

another TCI subsidiary at TCI's cost. Charges for such programming
relating to the cable television system located in Vail, Colorado were
approximately $318,273 for year ended December 31, 1993 and are included
in operating expenses in the accompanying financial statements.

for operations and construction costs, net of allocated tax expense. TCI-

to TCI.
(3) Management Fees

TCI-Rockies is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of
TCI. The cable television system in Vail, Colorado is not directly
charged for its share of the consolidated tax liability recorded by TCI.

estimated using the statutory income tax rate of 35%.
(5) Commitments and rn?1rin~encies
