May 12, 1995 Page 1 of 1 ~S it~ •s~ ~~u-# a~ Vail Police Department 1995-96 Programs Advanced Police Officer Program The goal of the Advanced Police Officer Program is to recognize officers for their achievements, contributions, and experience. Moreover, it is hoped that the program will proyide for job enhancement and role enlargement for those police officers who have chosen to become career officers. The program creates a career path that is an alternative to promotion for officers who have.no.t sought promotion or have not been promoted. The career path is open and achievable by all patrol officers, and, once embarked upon, officers are not restricted from seeking promotion or reassignment. Officers must meet certain criteria including length of service, performance standards, training requirements, etc., in order to be admitted into the program. Incentives include cash "retention" awards, special scheduling considerations, special training, and a new badge. The levels in the program are Senior Patrol Officer for officers with six years of service and Master Police Officer for officers with 10 years of service.

WS 6.1(r . 4 s Lt" ~ r VAIL POLICE DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS DIVISION SPRING BRIEFING APRIL 23 - JUNE 1, 1995 With the short spring shoulder season comes some minor adjustments in what should be important to our division. Please keep the following information in mind while pursuing your duties. 1. Stay in contact with the patrol priority bulletin. Some things will be modified for spring. 2. Let's be cognizant of the fact that locals feeT that we "over do" our radar enforcement, especially stationary, during the "off season". Except for the target areas and times below,.please limit your radar work. 3. Selective radar enforcement on the frontage roads, West Gore Creek Drive, Forest Road, Bighorn Road and Chamonix Lane at the,following times: 0700-0900, 1130 - 1330, and 1630 - 1830. we will also have the radar trailer out through this spring. We will let you know when and where trailer follow-up is necessary. 4. As is the case each spring, vacations and training will erode patrol coverages. Because o€ this, it will be necessary to handle the call load with the resources that you have available to you. In other words, if you have only four officers on the overlap, "poopin' and snoopin may not be a good use of your time. 5. Given the plethora of construction throughout Vail, special vigilance should be given to these sites during periods of darkness. Last year, we took many theft reports from contractors who lost tools and material. Don't assume that the guy who is loading stuff into his truck is working a little OT! Also, be aware of any threats to citizen and guest safety that a construction site might offer. If you note any, please these concerns to Sgt. Sheely. 6. Burglaries of seasonally closed businesses are always a possibility this time of year. The combination of out of work seasonals and closed businesses is one we can't iqnore. Please spend some extra time "shakin' doors" on nights. (Good way to keep you awake, too.) 7. Bears! We will be presenting some roll-call training on handling bear calls in-the near future. In the meantime, be aware of bears on bear sighting calls, alarms, and vacation security checks. Be careful! 8. The preliminary results of the "Community Survey" show that citizens and business owners feel that we are doing a very good job. In order to 'stay on this "roll" during this off season, all of us should resolve to meet at least one Vail citizen or business owner (on a pleasant contact!) each day. Go out of your way to "look" friendly and approachable. Take the initiative to talk to people in positive contexts, i.e., helping people who look lost, taking and being in photos, droppinq in on local businesses for a chat; etc. We all have the power to make the department successful simply by how we treat people. A careless word, an indifferent attitude, can ruin a person's perception of us forever (and he'll talk to 10 other people, as well!). Be aware of body language that might put people off - that* stern "tunnel vision" look, fast paced walk and other indicators that you're too busy to be bothered. Be concerned with excellence in all aspects of your job! Thanks for your continued pursuit of the department's mission. Be safe! W 5•I(o,4S el,"#r Vail Police Department Action Team Progress 1994/95 "Mom, I'm mobile action team" (or Officers Time Recapture Team) - Goal: To identify obstacles and impediments that prevent officers from spending more tiine working in the field. - Secondary Goal: Identify what we want to accomplish with our new found time once it occurs. - Accomplishments: - Implemented an internal E-Mail system even before the town. - Heartily encouraged the development of the Town voice mail system. ' - Simplified some arrest and processing procedures. Other changes are in progress. - Have begun to work to streamline some reporting procedures. (false alarms, private security reports, etc.) - Cell phones in the cars are now more properly utilized. This results in officers not being called back to the police department as often. - Broadened and simplified our accident reporting guidelines. - Patrol priorities/seasonal briefings bulleti_ns. . Areas currently under study: - Alarm response policy. - Continued review of reporting procedures. - Improvements in communication of goals/direction from administration on how best to utilize unassigned time. - Better organization of resource materials. - Research "differential response strategies" . - More visible police car graphics. - Development of a parental notification procedure for juyenile contacts. Development of "incident review board" to review use of force, traffic accidents, on the job injuries, and other incidents that may be appropriate. Patrol Problem Solvinq Team: - Recently have begun to examine locations from which we receive frequent calls for service. If we can work with the responsible/reporting parties to identify and solve the r problem, we will have more time to pursue other activities. I-70 Closure Action Team: - Responding to the ever increasing numbers of East Vail residents who were being.stranded on I-70, we formed an action team to find ways to better inform the public and to move traffic when Vail Pass closes. This was seen as a temporary solution. - This summer we will open a dialogue with the Colorado State Patrol and the Colorado Department of Transportation to discuss a more permanent procedure. .

Since that time, all pumps, lubricants, and chemicals have tieen removed from the_property and the plant has stood vacate. On February 27, 1995, the water district received Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) review and approval of their request to change the Vail Land Use Plan designation of this property from Park to Low Densiry Residential. In reaching their recommendation for approval of the Land Use Plan change, the PEC considered and discussed the appropriateness of using the property as a park, the appropriateness of the proposed residential use of the property, the removal of all abandoned water related equipment on and off of the property, the dedication of golf course cart path and road easements on the proper4y, and where the proceeds from the sale of the property uvould be invested. On March 7, 1995 the Vail Town Council approved Resolution Rto. 5, Series of 1995 which . authorized the change to the Vail Land Use Plan from Park to Louv Density Residential. Resolution fVo. 5 contained five conditions which must be addressed by the applicant prior to the transfer of ownership of the property. ~ III. ZONING ANALYSIS ~ The following chart shows the relationship between the development standards of the existing General Use zoning on the property and the Primary/Secondary Residential Zone District being requested. Development Existing General Proposed Primary/Secondary Standards Use Zone District Zone District Lot Size: 0.45 acres or Same 19,602 sq. ft. Dwelling Units: Type III and IV EHU's; Number per Two dwelling units in a . lot to be determined by the PEC. Primary/Secondary structure and a Type II EHU. Allowed Uses: Examples include: public and private Single Family or Primary/Secondary; schools, public theaters, churches, and a Type II EHU. hospitals, public recreation facilities, etc. GRFA: To be determined by the PEC. 5,060 sq. ft., (includes two 425 sq. ft. credits) Setbacks: To be determined by the PEC. 20 feet frortt, 15 feet side and rear Site Coverage: To be determined by the PEC. 3,920 sq. ft., or 200% Landscaping: To be determined by the PEC. 11,761 sq.ft., or 60% required Building Height: To be determined by the PEC. 33 feet for a sloping roof. Lot Area and Site Dimensions: To be determined by the PEC. 15,000 sq. ft. of buildable area, 30 feet of minimum frontage, and must be capable of enclosing a square area (80 feet,on. each side) within its boundaries. IV. CRITERIA A?ND FINDINGS . The following criteria and findings shall be used in the evaluation of the zone change request: A. Suitability of the proposed zoning. As stated in the zoning code, the General Use Zone District "is intended to insure that public buildings and grounds and certain quasi-public uses perrnitted in the district are appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents and visitors to Vail, to harmonize with surrounding uses, and in the case of buildings and other structures, to insure adequate light, air, open space and other amenities appropriate to the permitted types of uses." The purpose statement contained in the Primary/Secondary Residential Zone District states that this district "is intended to provide sites for single family residential uses or two family residential uses in which one unit is a larger primary residence and the second unit is a smaller caretaker apartment, together with such public facilities as may 2 . ~ appropriately be located in the same disYrict. The two family Primary/Secondary Residential Zone District is intended to insure adequate light, air, privacy and open space for each dwelling unit, commensurate with single family and twro family occupancy, and to maintain the desirabte residential qualities of such sites by establishing appropriate site development standards." The PEC and Touvn Council's recent approval of the water districYs request to change the Land Use Plan designation of the property from Park to Low.Density Residential vuould support the applicanYs contention that the existing General Use zoning on the property is no longer suitable. The proposed Primary/Secondary zoning is consistent with the current Land Use Plan designation of the property. Additionally, Tract C meets, and exceeds the minimum lot area and site dimension . requirements necessary for primary/secondary zoned properties. As required in Section 18.13.050 of the Vail Municipal Code, the minimum site area shall be 15,000 square feet of buildable area, and each site shall have a minimum frontage of 30 feet. Each site must also be of a size and shape capable of enclosing a square area, 80 feet on each side, writhin its boundaries. B. Vs the amendment proposal presen46ng a conven6en4, workable relatBonship among lawd uses consistent wiYh municipal objectives? The staff feels that the proposed Primary/Secondary zoning designation would be consistent vuith adjacent land uses. The proposed use of Tract C, for either a single.family residence or a primary/secondary building, will be compatible with the character of the neighborhood in terms of density, scale, mass and bulk, and general site planning. C. Does the Pezoning proposal provide for the groanr4h of aet orderly and vsab9e community? Staff believes that the proposed rezoning would provide for the growth of an orderly and viable community. The applicant has indicated 4hat the proceeds #rom the sale of this property will be dedicated to the water districYs future capital _ improvements wi hin the Vail Valley. Specifically, the applicant believes 4hat all or most of the money will be used for the construction of a new one million gallon water tank in the East vail area. The new tank will not only improve fire flows in the East Vail area but will also provide a reservoir of water for other emergency situations, which require the expenditure of large amounts of water. D. Is the proposed rezoning consis4eni wiqh the !/ail Land Use Plan? Staff believes that the proposed rezoning is consistent vuith the Land Use Plan. As mentioned in the background section of this memorandum, the Land Use Plan was recently amended to change the plan designation of this property from Park to Low Density Residential. Primary/Secondary residential developrneng is considered to be an appropriate use within the Lovu Density Residential designation. The PEC, during the hearing on the Land Use Plan change, felt 4hat this tract is of a size and shape capable of accommodating a single family, duplex 3 . ` or primary/secondary structure and that the property appears to be the logicai western terminus of the adjacent Primary/Secondary zoned residential neighborhood. Additionally, the proposed rezoning would appear to carry out the following goal statements contained in the Vail Land Use Plan: 1.12 Vail should accommodate most of the additional growth in existing developed areas (infl. areas). 5.1 Additional residential growth should continue to occur primarily in existing, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high hazards do not exist. V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the requested rezoning of Tract C, Vail Village 7th Filing from the General Use Zone District to the Primary/Secondary Residential Zone District. Staff believes that the proposal meets the zone change criteria, as addressed in Section IV of this memorandum; and that the Primary/ Secondary Residential Zone District designation is the more appropriate zone district for the uses which are anticipated for the property. heveryone\pecvnemos\wavd.410 ~ 4 e b TOWN OF VA1L BOUNDARY , R.-o-W PER PLAr - VAIL VALLEY DFdI SDD~i? / IfVTERSTATE 70 / ........~....~..~.................~~'`~.....i..~...,~ C . .~,~v . . ~.~.~.....~...R, j , ......~..'~'Y~75~~~" 'g)`y~..........~..~ ` . ~ . ....................p..~.q.~/~.y../.q~................~- i •iYi:iiii~::i::ii:i:iii:•~~•~~•~ kLddl2E:,"~°~~! ~ ' 4 0 711:~" p a 6/ 6 O iiiiiiiiiiii iiriii • 11f iiiiii / ~ l,(.b'dQo~O ~O )Qy eb 0 p ° v`~~ 0O oogo ~ o~o o ~ 5,LV~ f o ~ 000 ~ o n Q q p2p~ q 0 o o ~o°,~, og 6 0 ~~ope dooog°°a°_ (~p0 OD D O/pg$O iiii iiiii O C!

A request for a conditional use to allow for a Type II Employee Housing Unit (EHU) to be located at 126 Forest Road/Lot 5, Block 7, Vail Village 1 st Filing. Applicant: Ron Byrne Planner: Lauren 1lUaterton Greg Amsden stated that the applicant requested that this proposal be tabled to the next meeting. Jeff Bowren made a motion to table this proposal to the next meeting, subject to Yhe length of the next PEC meeting agenda. This proposal may, at the PEC's discretion, be tabled to another meeting at a later date. Bob Armour seconded the motion. The vote to table this item was unanimously approved with a vote of 6-0. , 2. A request for a rezoning from General Use District to Primary/Secondary Residential District to allow for the development of a primary/secondary residence located at 967 Vail Valley DrivelTract C, Vail Village 7th Filing. Applicant: Pat Dauphinais for Vail Valley Consolidated UVater District Planner: Jim Curnutte Jim Curnutte presented the request to the PEC. Jim stated that the staff has the chronological history of this property dating back to 1932. There is a letter in the permanent files Yhat shouvs that the Vail Valley Consolidated Water District (VVCWD) asked the Town if they were interested in purchasing this property. At that time, the Town was not interested in this piece of property. The Vail Recreation District (VRD) can use the pumps located on the property, so VVCWD will give the pumps to the VRD. Staff feels that the applicant's proposal meets the criteria and findings stated in the memorandum and recommends approval of this request. Greg Amsden asked for public comment. Ann Repetti, a neighbor, stated that she was ok with this proposal to change the zoning to primary/secondary and that it would fit well with'the surrounding neighborhood. She stressed Pianning and Environmental Commission April 10, 1995 Minutes ~ ~ . that this would be the most appropriate change to this property and should not be used for ° anything else (i.e. no bus turn-around, no truck turn-around, no park, etc.). Bob Armour made a motion to approve the proposal request to rezone the property to Primary/Secondary as per the staff memorandum. Jeff Bowen seconded the motion. The request was unanimously approved with a vote of 6-0. 3. A request for a conditional use to allow for an outdoor dining deck for the Daily Grind located at 288 Bridge StreeULot B,. Block 5H, Vail Village 1 st Filing. Applicant: The Daily Grind Coffee House Planner: George Ruther. George Ruther made a presentation to PEC. The applicant is requesting a conditional use to place an outdoor dining patio to the west and in front of the Daily Grind, in the plaza area. Because of liquor laws, there is a requirement to separate the pedestrian way from the outdoor dining area when alcohol is to be served in the outdoor dining area. The applicant need: - . physically separate the pedestrian way from the outdoor dining area. The applicant propuses to place seven wood planters on the plaza site to separate the outdoor dining area from the pedestrian way. Staff reviewed the Town of Vail (TOV) Municipal Code, The Vail Village Comprehensive Plan, and the Vail Village Urban Design criteria. Staff has several concerns. The Vail Village Comprehensive Plan recommends placing outdooc dining areas when and where appropriate. George stated that staff believes there is a possible obstruction from the pedestrian area to access the Sunglass Hut. Also, staff doesn't like the placement of the temporary planter structures, and would like to have more permanent planters. The applicant is proposing to serve alcohol on the outdoor dining area. The outdoor dining deck may prohibit pedestrian access to the Sunglass Hut. Staff also has a concern about trash disposal for this area. Jim Hoza, the Public Works had placed a trash receptacle in the plaza area to help collect additional trash in this area. Since the applicant questioned why a TOV public trash receptacle is in this place and would like to see it removed. As of today, Jim Hoza was removing this trash receptacle. Staff believes that if this conditional use permit is approved that one of the conditions would be to place a trash receptacle on site. Another concern to staff is the type of materials to be used for the chairs and tables. The tables and chairs are made of plastic. Staff feels that wrought iron or wood tables and chairs would be more appropriate for the Vail Village. Staff is recommending denial of this request. Kaye Ferry; the applicant, stated that they used the planter material that the staff suggested. She suggested that they could use a chain to separate the outdoor dining area from the pedestrian way. She also stated that Curtin-Hill is using the same material for their tables and chairs as she is proposing and feels it is very confusing as to what is or is not acceptable and common around town. Greg Amsden asked if the Daily Grind has a lease for the space in front of the Sunglass Hut. Kaye Ferry stated that the lease includes the area from the Rucksack to the front of Max Alexander's (sunglass hut??) store. , Plannmg and Environmentel Commission April 10, 1995 Minutes 2 , I ~ I A PROPOSAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF i I'W v A L C" MUNZ~ VAIg.., ~OLORADO I ; .

The team was selected by Telluride Housing Authority over a rnanber of other very conpetent tearm to design, finance and construct Telluride's first najor enployee developamt, 34 tmits in Phase I. Since that decision, the Telluride ~ Housing Authority Board has been nothing but delighted with their work. Ted's design solutions show sensitivity to all rmjor areas of concern. The interior plans are clean and efficient and the exterior shows greater sensi- tivity to the historical nature of Telluride than just about any other developnent of ccnparable size in this town. Ted`s ability to catrrnmicate ~ ideas to our review boards and town cot,ulcil and to hear their concerns has been flawless. John°s financial expertise has been invaluable to the Authority both in the financing of the project and in the budgetary reccnmendations for its opera- tion. His creative approach to financing has resulted in calls frcm other ski ~ towns wondering how to rnake it all work for then. We are confident that we received the best financing rate available for Phase I umder the canditions. Shaw Construction, with Steve Meyer and Tim Hild leading their team was able to camplete construction of the project on a very short schedule and a within a tight budget. The value engineering services provided by Shaw during design ~ have proven invaluable during the design phases. The project was ccnpleted on tinie and on budget and Telluride Housing Authori- ty has retained the team for Phase II, which is 52 more similar imits to be canpleted in 1991. The team has not only done their job ccnVetently and professionally, but has rc-ade the process ftua. In short, they receive my ~ highest recomiendation.

You are, of course, one of the "thoughtful, committed citizens1° Margaret Mead spoke ofe Thanks so much. , ~ S' cerel , ~ Kay ~arke Philip and e entire Housing staff and board , ~ ~ ~ In the early 1980's, when the Savings and Loan Associations were the only employee . housing mortgage outlet, I convinced the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority to obtain . FannielVlae approval for mortgaging all of our employee housing units. Without this, employees had to put 30 percent down and were charged a minimum of three points, generally a sum beyond their reach. (With FannielVlaes, they need only three percent down). Although the process took several years, we did finally obtain approval and had the honor of being the first in the country to get it. Since then, many cities have followed our lead. • Following our success with FannielVlae, FreddielVlac also gave us approval for mortgages. And now, the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority has asked me to pursue FHA and VA approvals for our employee units. These will allow more liberal underwriting increasing the likelihood that people with credit problems or uneven employment histories can obtain a ~ mortgage. In the 20 years I have been doing mortgages in Aspen, Telluride, and Steamboat Springs, I have processed over 100 employee loans. They generally are more time-consuming than the average loan and require more creativity and skillful problem-solving. However, despite low ~ down payments, histories of multiple jobs, and youthful applicants' requiring parental co- signatures, my staff and I have managed to close most of them. Because we have covered just about every hard-to-place employee situation and we enjoy working with employees to obtain housing, I believe that we can offer you the best and most imaginative service. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ • ~ ~ ~ • • • • • ABCD AWARD The Housing Office of Aspen/P6tkin County acknow/edges Dee Dee O9 rgoen of Aspen Mount~~~ ortgage on this 20th day of May9 19949 for efforts Abave and Beyond the Cal/ of uty in acquirirrg Fanrrie Mae and Freddie Mac Loan Approvals for deed restricted affordable housing . ~l David J.

These revenues could be "seed money" for numerous addi4ional affordable housing projects. ~ A second supermarkefi vvould create a competitive environment for both stores. As competitors, both would be more responsive to Vail customers . and visitors. A world-class resort like Vail desenres vvorld-class supermarkets. This proposal is the firsf step 4o Vail having firs4-class grocery sfiores on an ongoing basis. o This proposal was designed fo creatively respond directly to the crifieria originally advanced by the Town - i.e., provide quality affordable housing in a proposal that creates secondary community benefits that will "ripple fihrough" !/ail with minimum fnancial subsidy from the Town. o This proposal comes from a lean and agile development 4eam, v?rherein the residential developer is already a Vail area resident and the commercial developer will operate the supermarket.

Notice that the entire roof of the supermarket is mitigated for use as extension of the residential portion of the project. V1Jhen looking at the supermarket parking lot, notice that one entry point runs to the lower level of the parking structure, and one 4o the upper level. This design enabled us to eliminafe ramps befiween the tevels (which will be connected by e(eva#ors and stairs for pedestrians), a desirable achievement since ramps consume much space with no contribution to number of vehicles parked. Finally, study the spacing and relationships of the residential units. VNe believe this design, dvith its lowr density and maximization of open space, reflects a very livable residential deve(opment. Followin the site lan ' g p illustration are four ground level views of various elevations of the project. The first, labeled Vievv #1, is from the center of the supermarket parking lot cenfiral green area, towards the front of the store. If you refer back to the site plan, you'll see a small v?rhite arrow in that loca4ion. That is the vantage point of view #1. The others are similarly rabeled on the sifie plan. View #2 illustrates the -rear ofi the s4ore nearest the frontage road, with the residential buildings flowing • over and onto 4hat roof. A v?rater structure soffens the transition. View #3 is fooking norfh from the footpath in the center of the residential development. View #4 is looking northeast from the front of one ofi the employee housing units a4op the northuvest corner ofi the supermarket roof. ~ i • • ~ i fp ~ y~ ~ ~,r. ~ _ °.;w`'r d ~ ~J~ F ~ 4 r~.: ~ .a ¢ 'ti: .;+~r~~ ~w rv- ^n n ~ f - . . . ~ ` . ~ I. ti.. . • /f IE,I~ ~ ~ ~ ~ - • K s . fT1" . _ ~ . .Fr T ~ E rt , - ~ NA . , tTT rrr' ~ nT ~ ~ .

VVe have been questioned regarding the potenfiial "ripple effect" generated with our proposal. VVe believe 4his feature of our proposal vvas no4 apparent because vve concentrated in that proposal on fhe residenfiial portion of the project, because that's the mos4 important part. However, we hope to illustrate today that 4he "ripple effect" resulting from our proposal is more powerful, more flexible and of longer fierm benefifi 4o the entire Todun of Vail than redevelopment of a couple of neighboring parcels is ever likely to be. The Ci4y Market Proposal is the only proposal which contemplates 4vvo supermarkets in Vail. Thus, i4 is the only proposal under which the Town of Vail vvould cotlect sales tax revenues from two supermarkets. VVe sugges4 that this • increased sales tax revenue, when.combined with the land rents offered in fhis proposal, creates greater 4ofal annual cash flow to the Tovvn of Vail than o4her proposals are likely to do. . This enhanced cash flow s4ream would enable the Towrn of Vail 4o se4 aside a portion ofi the annual receipfs for "seed money" to initiate subsequenf affordable housing projects, either vvithin or vuithout the tovun's boundaries (just as has been done wi4h 4his projec4, although with perhaps less expensive land, since the 4own need no4 alwrays loca4e such projects on the las4 remaining large, vacant and commercially zoned (hence, very expensive) parcel vvithin the town limits), or alternatively, to address residents concerns about traffic congestion, or reservation of open space, or any o4her priority the town wished to establish. These addi4ional cash receipts could be used in modest amounts, as received, or could be pledged to secure subsfantial borrowings for large projects. Either way, over the 49 year term of fihis proposal, this additional cash flow would provide to 4he town a fiar more povverFul and flexible "ripple effect" than could the redevelopment of one or fvvo nearby properties. As dispenser of 4his additional revenue, fhe 4own woutd refain confrol over where the #unds were spent, the types ofi projecfs initiated and the frequency ofi such programs. An advan4age of this revenue source is 4hat it cos4s Vail residents so 1it41e. Almosf every communify which enjoys a supermarkefi taxes part or all of fiha4 14 ~ store's sales. Thus, regardless of where Vail's residents are shopping, 4hey are paying sales taxes. However, when the money is spent elsewhere, ano4her towrn ge4s the 4ax revenue for ifs purposes. Ours is simply a plan 4o retum par4 of the - sales taz revenues now paid by Vail residents to 4heir own tovdn. Finally, sales tax receipts from supermarkets are a stable and reliable source of revenue for municipalities, because the grocery industry is historically so recession resisfant. Without fail, the gross sales revenues, and therefore the sales tax receip4s, of supermarkets fluctuate less through the ups and downs of business cycles fhan do the receipfs of other industries. This reflects the super- market's role in providing basic necessities - folks need food, cleaning supplies, health and beaufy items and other personal care i4ems in good times and bad 4imes, and while 4hey may select less expensive ifems during a recession, they s4ill eat and clean 4heir houses and use toothpaste and deodorant. The reliability of this revenue source would enable the town to plan years in advance how the fiunds might be used for a"ripple efiFec4" anyvvhere in the 4odvn's limits. The benefiits to the todvn of year after year of increased sales tax revenues, invested according fio the todvn's priorities, are potentially far greater than the benefits available from the redevelopmen4 ofi a few parcels adjacent fio !lail Commons. The reasons vvhy you can rely on our asserfion that two supermarket operators generate more sales tax revenue 4han one are easily understood, and ~ are summarized as follow: A. There are logical reasons vvhy 4his would be so, and vve'll discuss each in turn. 1. Substantial supermarket business °leaks" foday from Vail fio stores in other communities each vveek. Additional supermarket capacity in Vail will reduce this markefi "leakage." 2: Sales which cou9d occur in Vail supermarkets are lost when the store here is too busy fo adequately handle all of the business available. 3. The lack of a local competitor means the single store in any town is less competitive and aggressive in capturing new sales volume than are stores wi4h direct competitors, and many ofi those potential new sales do not occur. 4. A new corripetitor, like City fiAarkef, would no4 enter a marlce4 area if the only sales available had 4o be 4aken auvay frorn the competition. 1'here rnus4 be signifcant uncaptured sales potential in the community to justify such a move. B. In addition 4o the logical reasons, the facts also supporf our argumen4. ~ The at4ached Exhibit A illustrates fhafi in fown after town, addition of nevv grocery square foofiage resul4ed in increased sales 4ax collec4ions frorn supermarkets. 15 Some of fihese are situafions where an old store was expanded or replaced and ~ some illusfirate a new s4ore entering the marketplace. Additional store capacity always means addi4ional 4axes collected. And in Vail's case, vuhere another supermarket would have entered the market long ago if not barred by the high Vail real estafe prices, 4he, amount of uncaptured superrmarket sales is unusually high. VVe offer the fiollowing additional information: A. As the operator ofi the Avon and Glenwood Springs City Market stores, we knov?r much about the volume of grocery business from !/ail which leaks to stores outside Vail each vveek. Our marke4 study indicates fhat, on average through the year, over 40% of the supermarket sales potential in Vail °leaks" ou4 of tovvn. 1/Ve periodically survey customers a4 the Avon store, which surveys frequently indicate where those customers live. These indicate 4o us tha4, on average 4hrough the seasons, over $200,000 of grocery business at the Avon store comes #rom Vail each monfh. In addition, vvhile we haven't 4ried to account for them, Vail residents are not uncommon a4 the Glenwood Springs City iVlarket store. 1/Ve're confdent 4hat Safeway could, if fhey chose, confirm the same at their Glenwood Springs sfore. The question is fhus nof whether grocery sales leak from Vail, buf instead, how much of thaf could be retained in Vail if Vail had sufficien4 supermarket capacify. B. When a s4ore enjoys more business 4han i4 can comfor#ably handle, such as happens in Vail during busy seasons, it misses making sales because i4 doesn'4 have sufficien4 holding capacity and.shelves are at times empty, and because no one s4ore provides all of the brands and product variefy thaf many customers want. In addition, stores with long check out lines, congested parking lots and harried employees make shopping an unpleasant experience that , customers avoid. One needs not be a marlcefing consultant to understand 4ha4 customers with a negative attitude spend less than they would othervvise. C. Sfiores wifh lots of business and little competition have little incentive to - compefie vigorously fior the business fhey miss gefting. Thus, 4here is reduced incentive to broaden product lines, add departments, examine pricing, even keep the facility in good shape and make the shopping experience as pleasanf as possible. This is the second °ripple effecY' for the Town of Vail - fhat finro stores directly competing one with the other dvill both be sharper, better maintained and be4ter managed, fihan any store would be wifh no direc4 competitor. The quality of the shopping experience is especially important to visitors, vvho view Vail as a world-class resort, and vvho are unable to find a supermarket in todvn to match fihat s4andard. The City Market proposal is thus an opportunity for Vail 40 progress from one 20 year old store to two rmodern and up-fo-date stores. '16 D. Finally, few business persons would believe that City Market vvould pian a ~ 4veelve million dollar invesfiment in a community where the oniy opportunity for sales was to fake 4hem from the competition. That vdould be a very risky proposi4ion, and it is not the case here. 1/Ve expect tha4 a New City AAarket v?rill in fact take some sales firom Safeway. It will also stop a l04 of the leakage ofi sales ou4 ofi tovvn, and if will cap4ure in-4ovvn sates that no store gets today, by offering more product choices, more pricing choices and more departments in the store. The store proposed fior the Vail Commons is larger and nevver than the Avon Ci4y fVlarket s4ore, and is custom designed for the Vail markefi. The sum 4ofal of these fac4ors vvill, when added to the sales vvhich Safeway vuill retain, represent an increase in supermarket sales over what any one s4ore, even an expanded one, can genera4e. Our Vail market study indicates that the new City Market as proposed, fogether vvi4h the exis4ing Safevvay store (i.e., two supermarkets at once), vvill when open in 1997, generafe annual sales ofi $10,000,000 more than the Safeway alone will generate. That, however, is probably an unlikely scenario. Wha4 is more likely is that, in response to the nevu City Markef store, Safeway will also renovate and improve fiheir store as well by 1997. That's the benefit of having a competitor in tovvn. And the end resul4 should be rnoce than a ten million dollar per year sales increase, because 4hen Vail would have two moderri ~ and compe4itive stores. If the sales increase from having fiwo supermarkets is $10,000,000 per year, the increase in sales taxes collected by the Town of Vail will be $400,000 peP yeaP. The town could capture par4 of 4his by allovving an expansion and enlargement of the existing sfore, and no4 allowing a competitor to enter the marketplace. Our marke4 sfiudy indicates that the resul4ing sales volume increase would then be about $5,000,000 per year (whether the sole new store was a Safeway or a Ci4y Nlarkefi), uvith an increase of about $200,000 in sales tax collec4ions. We find 4his reasonable, since, vvith only one store in town, even if remodeled/expanded, it uvill sfiill be swamped with business during busy periods, it vvill offer less variety in products, in brands and in types of service, and it uvill have only half of the shelf holding power of fwo stores. In surnmary, we believe there is very good evidence, both anecdotal and empirical, that fiwo supermarkets in todvn-vvill generate higher supermarket sales in Vail fhan can one store, and fherefore higher sales tax revenues. Our analysis esfiirnates this increase in tax receipfis to be $200,000 every year, before increases in inflation, which even at low inflation rates will accumulate 40 substantial additional increases over the 49 year term of fihis lease. 14 is also before the effect of population grodvth, which while lov?r today, may also amount 17 ~ to a significant percentage over the 49 year 4erm. In short, the City Marke4 proposal enables the Town of Vail to capture revenue sfireams that no single- superrnarket proposal can match, and the tovvn can then use this revenue for whatever "ripple effecf" i4 chooses. T'he original City fl/larket proposal reflected annual land ren4s to the 1"own . ofi Vail of $180,520 fior the fiirst year, increasing to $230,520 by year eight. tn addition, vve projecfied 4haf the new store will generate $750,000 per year of sales fiax revenue, for 4ofal annual revenue fio the 4own of jusf under one million dollars per year. This is, ofi course, before percentage rents due if sales of the store grovv 4o the $24,000,000 per year level. To make 4his revenue stream comparable 4o the revenues of the other proposals, please remember 4hat 4his is the only proposal with-4wo supermarkets, and that the tovvn can accept this proposal knowing fhat i4 will still collec4 some sates taxes from the Safevvay store, vvhich 4axes vve estimate to be at least another $200,000 per year. fl. CHAMONBX CURB CUT: 1/Ve deliberately omifted any curb cuts to Chamonix Lane, to eliminafe trafific impacts on fihat residenfial area. If the town decides thaf one or two cufs are desirable, we can easily accomplish this goal withou4 adding costs 40 the ! project and without creating "cut 4hrough" access to the firontage road, and we are perfecfily vvilling to do so. M. PARK6NG LOT SCREEN91VG TO CHe4f1AOh11X: Additional screening of the top level parking area from Charrionix Lane is certainly possible, dvith eifher denser/taller landscaping, or with an architectural facade. Additional landscape screening could occur with no significan4 impac4 • on the projecfi's economics, especially if we used denser plantings that would grovv fialler over time. Alternatively, architec4ural screening could occur vvithout disrup4ing the project's economics, so long as this added cost, along wi4h other changes the towm may request, are nofi cumulatively prohibitively expensive. ~Vo EAST-WEST PEDESTRIAN COIVIVECT909VS: Because the east-west connections in this plan involve elevation changes wri4h elevators and stairs, 4hese connections may not be fully apparen4 in our first submission, and Mark Donaldson will review them in his portion of this presen4ation. 18 ~ CI8 lI Arl/"!RC`ETg I!\Ce VAOL COMMONS DEVELOPMGNT PROPOJ9'0L .

Land rents from the commercial space commencing at $100,000 for the first year, with escalation beginning in the fiourfih year, reaching $150,000 per year by year 8. In addifiion, the supermarket would pay rents of 1/2% of supermarkef sales in excess of $24,000,000 in any one lease year. B. FBN~~~~~~ ~~SUES: 1. For a discussion of the relationship of proposed rents and sales prices, and the return to the Town, uve must separate the discussion betvveen the commercial and the residential portions of the project. For the commercial ~ portion, wre doubt tha4 the Town wishes 4o reduce the rentals proposed. For the residential por4ion, the only rental units are 12 employee housing units for supermarkef employees. These will have rents as lodv as economically possible, as an aid to attrac4ing employees to the supermarket. Adjustments to these renfials have no effiecfi on the return 4o the Tovvn. The remainder of the residential units are fior-sale units, and the land rents proposed are fio flow direcfily from the owners through the Homeowners Association and fio the Tovvn. These rents are so modes4 (befiween $110 and $150 per month, depending on unit value) fihat wre consider it unlikely that the Town wrould pursue reduction thereof. If the Town did seek reduc4ion of these rentals, 4hat reduction vvould directly reduce the return fo the Tovun on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The return to the Town is not affected by the sales price of the for-sale units. That sales price defermines the quality of those units. Reduction of that sales price would cause a reduction in the construc4ion cost ofi fhose units, achieved by reducing the quality o# the units. We do not recommend such reduc4ion. 22 2. Lease vs. Ovvnership of Land. Again, 4his topic is best explained if the residential and the commercial portions are discussed separately. a. IFor the residen#ial component, the advantage ofi the Town leasing the land is that the sales price to the purchaser is much more affordable, in #hat Vail's high land values are not included in the residential sales prices. The land ren4s proposed are far beneath the open marke4 rental value of the property used. In shorf, absent ovvnership by the Town and renfal af these modest rates, the purchase prices wrould not be affordable. For the commercial component of the project, the advantage ofi the Town leasing the land is fhat moneys ofherwise required for land purchase can be spenfi instead for the parking struc4ure and elevators, the additional building cos4 to place housing on the roof (nof the cost of thaf housing, bufi the cost to strengfhen/modify the building belovv) and.the day care center. Although the additional building cosfi has not been broken out separately, the parking structure and elevators and the day care center together represent abou4 $3,000,000 of 4he cost of this project. Thus, the land purchase moneys saved are used insfead fio concentrate the commercial development on one end, and to disguise and mitigate much of the impact of that development, freeing most of the surface ~ of the project for residential use. The advantage of the developer owning the land would likely be perhaps a 1/4% improvement in the even4ual mortgage rate. We calculate this to be less than $30,000 per year - certainly insignifcan4 compared to the benefits of the modest fown lease proposed. Allovvable uses of leased property are easily and frequenfly defined as one ofi 4he s4andard provisions in real property leases. In this case, the lease could state that the primary use of the commercial portion of the property would only be as a supermarket, vvi4h the ancillary uses cus4omarily found fiherein (bank, pharmacy, video, etc.), and fhat no more fhan ten percen4 of the commercial space could be used #or other retail and/or office uses. This leaves no opportuniYy for a discounf store at some future time. Similarly, the lease for the residenfial property portion could restrict the use 4hereof solely to residential use. 1/Vhere residen4ial and commercial uses are combined on the same property, the use described above for the commercial portion vvould simply be expanded fo also permit subleasing rooftop space for residential and day care uses, at the affordable rates specifed, dvhich would fhen flow directly 4hrough the Homeowners Associa4ion 40 the Todvn. 1/Ve do not plan to subdivide the parcel. V1le propose tha4 the en4ire projecfi be condominiumized. VVe propose fhat the condominium Homeovvners 23 ~ Associa4ion hold a master lease from the 4own, and collec2 "land" rents firom each condominium ovvner as described elsewhere in our proposal as associafion assessments, for fiorwarding fo the Town. Thus, the commercial space and parking structure would be one condominium unit, the 12 employee housing uni4s dvould be one condominium unit, and each for-sale residential unit would be one condominiurn unit. The homeowmers associafion master lease would be a 49 year lease for the entire property, allowing uses as discussed above, containing the provisions vvhich the Town of Vail's Senior Planner Andy Knudtsen described in his letter fo developers of February 21, 1995; specifically, (a) that the Tovvn vvill subordinate any interest in the improvements (not the land) to a lender, and (b) that the Tovvn will consenfi to suspend land lease payments in the event of foreclosure. 1/Ve have confirmed vvith legal counsel that there is no problem vvifh condominiumizing buildings located on leased land, and a letter from that counsel is attached. This is part of the reason why several condominium projects on leased land already exisf in the Tovdn of Vail. b. The true return to the Town of the City Market proposal is the combination ofi the ren4s described above, plus the sales taxes generated. VVe explained in Sec4ion I previously fha4 only a proposal which provides a secorud supermarket in Vail can generafie such sales fax revenue. VVe believe that a ~ second supermarket is unlikely, given the scarcity ofi land available and the need to mitigate the visual impacts of such a facility, if the benefit of land leased from the Town is not available. Thus, if the leased land makes the supermarke4 possible, and ifi the supermarket makes the sales tax revenue stream possible, then the leased land scenario appears to create the greatest return for the Tovvn. c. VVe plan to finance the commercial por4ion of the project from working capital. 1/Ve are likely to seek long 4erm #inancing on the commercial -condominium unit after the store is open. Subordination of any interesfi in the • improvements is importanf fio this plari, as is the Tovvn's offer to suspend land rents in the event ofi foreclosure. Subordinafiion of the Tovun's interest in the land is not essential. Cifiy Markef has confirmed with VVarner Development's construcfiion lender thaf Warner has unused a line ofi credi4 sufificienfi to fnance the consfiruction of the residential units on a phased schedute. The offer of the Town to subordina4e i4s interes4 in the improvements, and to suspend land rents in-the event of foreclosure, and the lease term of 49 years, are all importanf fo the long term , f nancing of the residen4ial unifis. d. Residenfial improvemen4s on leased land are not uncommon in and around Vail. See item e. below fior a contact to confirm the availability of 24 ~ fiinancing for such improvemen4s. VVe have again confrmed 4his availabilify for our own comfiort. e. The Kroger Co. shall finance the commercial portion of the project internally, as one of the 90 new superrnarkets they plan fior 1995 (all of which are initially internally fnanced). We refer you 4o the 1994 Kroger Co. annual report recently provided 4o Andy Knudtsen to illus4ra4e Kroger's capability to so perform. Kroger's inves4ment, according to the budgets discussed above, will approximate fwelve million dollars. These funds are available when City Market can demonstrate fio Kroger that vve have a completed contract and lease with the Tovvn of Vail fhat allowrs development of the supermarke4 vvith the investmen4 con4emplafed above. As surety, we offer to the Town a corporate guarantee from The Kroger Co. -for our performance under the developmen4 contract, vvith no financing contingency. For confirmation that long-term residential fnancing ofi units on leased land is available, vve refer you to James Brenner, President of First VUestern Niortgage Company in Eagle-Vail, telephone (303) 949-6060. f. A total invesfinent of $12,000,000 is acceptable for the supermarket con4emplated, and is 4hus easiest 40 obtain. That financing becomes more difficult if the negotia4ions with the Town result in significantly ~ more cost being added to the commercial portion of the project. Because it is not provided internally, the long-4erm financing fior the residential porfion is more difficult. Nonefiheless, we are comfortable 4hat i4 is available, and vve invite the Tovvn 4o review 4his subject vvith Nlr. Brenner. 3. VNe have no signi#icanf concerns regarding the deed restrictions. In fact, the 3% appreciafion limitation may at 4imes approximate marke4 value, in that, even though the units wrill over time likely fall farther and farther below open marke4 value fior similar units, the real value of these units will also fall as the remaining unused land lease term becomes shorter and shorter. In the final years of the land lease, the real market value ofi these units vvill be far belowr market value ofi units not on leased land. 4. This proposal contemplates use of no federal programs, and not tax credit programs. 5. Condominium Homeovvners Associa4ion opera4ing pro-forma is attached as Exhibi4 B, and 4ofals $131.50 per month per unit, including landscaping maintenance, snow removal, residenfial water and sewer charges, trash removal, common area repairs and establishmenf of resenves for future costs. 25 ~ 6. The development budget is provided in Section Rlo. 1 above. T'he oniy soft costs included are $350,000 for architects and engineers fiees, and . professional services such as attorneys to draft the condominium instruments, and $200,000 of legal fees and realtor commissions for sale of the residenfial units. It includes no developmen4 fees. Wamer Development's anticipated cons4ruction fnancing interest rate is prime, plus one percenf. C. So~~ PLANNuNG uSSuESo 1. Si4e sections are submitted herewith. 2.

In December, 1993, Albertsons opened a nevv 45,000 sq. ft. store in Durango, Colorado. Prior 4o that time, there vvere 2 Ci4y Market stores and one County Market in Durango. This nevv Albertsons thus added abou4 35% to the retail supermarkefi square fiootage in Durango. In 1992 (the year before Albertsons vvas builfi), Durango's 3% sales tax receipts from grocery sales was $909,324. In 1994 (the first full year after Albertsons opened), the sales 4ax receipts from grocery sales had increased 17% to $1,062,776. Sales for City iVlarkefi stores fell less 4han six percent when the Albertson's opened. Most of the Albertson's sales came from "leakage" of grocery business to Farming4on and other regional shopping areas that was now reduced by the presence of anofher store in the Durango metro area. 2. In 1991, City iViarkef replaced ifis aging 24,000 sq. ft. store in Delta, Colorado with a nevv 42,000 sq. ft. facility. Delta has one other small ~ independent supermarkefi. Detta's.3% sales tax receipts from grocery sales for 1990 (the last full year before the replacement store was built) were $248,927. In 1992 (the first fiull year affer the replacement store opened), the city's sales tax receipts from grocery sales vvere $299,351, an increase of 20%. The independently owned store is still in business. Mos4 of the sales increase at 4his new store came from business previously "leaking" to Montrose and Grand Junction, wrhich leakage was significantly reduced dvhen the larger s4ore's . selection and variety reduced the need to shop outside of Delta. 3. In January; 1994, Ci4y Market completed expansion of its existing store in Canon Cify fio 45,000 sq. ft. Compefitors consisted of a smaller Safeway and a small independen4 grocer. Bo4h remained in business. This expansion calcula4ed to a 16% increase in total supermarkefi square footage in Canon City. In 1992 (the las4 year befiore this expansion starfied), Canon City's 2% sales tax on grocery s4ore sales generafied receip4s of $398,717. In 1994, the fiirst full year after the expansion, the same receipts totaled $540,146, for an increase in receipts of 35%. These increased sales vvere largefy the result ofi reducing the previous "leakage" of grocery business from Canon City 4o Pueblo and Colorado Springs. The above fhree examples all illustra4e recenf Colorado projects where ~ relatively modest increases in total supermarket square footage in the 4owns mentioned genera4ed attractive increases in sales tax revenue collected by the municipality. VVe poinf out tha4 the increase in tofal supermarke4 square footage pcoposed fior Vail, wherein we propose to more than double fihe square footage now available, is a signifcantly larger increase than any of the above examples, and we can assert with certainty thaf it will similarly genera4e a significan4 increase in Vail's sales tax receipts from grocery stores. VVe also obsenre 4hat no other proposal for 4he Vail Comrnons would generate nearly the total increase in supermarket square fiootage as would the City Market proposal. ~ .

Caldwell Director, Real Estate City 1Vlarket, Inc. Post Office Box 729 Grand Junction, Colorado 81502 ~ Re: , Town of Vail - Request for Proposal Dear Mr. Caldwell: Thank you for meeting with me to discuss the Town of Vail's request for a proposal and City Market's response. As I understand it, the Town of Vail wishes to enter into a long-term lease for - the purpose of developing a parcel of land that provides at least 65 affordable housing units. I also understand City Market's proposal to not only include the 65 affordable housing units, but also the development of a grocery store with adjacent parking structure. Based on my understanding of City 1Vlarket's proposal, it would be my recommendation that the entire project be condominiumized under the Colorado Common Interest O~Nmership Act, section 38-33.3-101, gi C.R.S. I would like to specifically draw your attention to the fact that the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act permits what are known as leasehold common interest communities talcing the form of either a leasehold condominium or a leasehold planned community. Sge section 38-33.3-206, C.R.S., a copy of which is enclosed for your information. Accordingly, it is my opinion that the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act would allow for a condominium form of development that would include 65 affordable housing units and a grocery store with adjunct parking upon land owned by the Town of Vail and leased to City Market, or the appropriate development entity. Mr. John L. Caldwell Page 2 May 9, 1995 If you or any of the Town of Vail representatives would like to discuss this letter #'urther, please feel free to give me a call. Very truly yours, HOSKIIV, FARIlVA, ALI)RICH & KA1V1FF Professional Corporation FREDERICK G. ALDRICH FGA: sh Enclosure ~ 38-3303-206e I[.~~~eho?d coueamon nuntee°est conameanagiese (1) Any lease, the expiration or termination of which may terminate the common interest community or reduce its size, must be recorded. In a leasehold condominium or leasehold planned community, the declaration must contain the signature of each- lessor of any such lease in order for the provisions of this section to be effective. The declaration must state: (a) The recording data for the lease; (b) The date on which the lease is scheduled to expire; (c) A legally sufficient description of the real estate subject to the lease; (d) Any rights of the unit owners to redeem.the reversion and the manner whereby Yhose . rights may be exercised or state that they do not have those rights; (e) Any rights of the unit owners to remove any improvements within a reasonable time after the expiration or termination of the lease or state that they do not have those rights; and (f) Any rights of the unit owners to renew the lease and the conditions of any renevNal or state that they do not have those rights. (2) After the declaration for a leasehold condominium or leasehold planned communirry is recorded, neither the lessor nor the lessor's successor in interest may ternunate the leasehold interest of a unit owner who makes timely payment of a unit owner's share of the rent and ~ othervv,ise complies with all covenants which, if violated, would entitle the lessor to terminate the lease. A unit owner's leasehold interest in a condominium or planned community is not affected by failure of any other person to pay rent or fulfill any other covenant. (3) Acquisition of the leasehold interest of any unit owner by the owner of the reversion or remainder does not merge the leasehold and fee simple interests unless the leasehold interests of all unit owners subject to that reversion or remainder are acquired. (4) If the expiration or ternunation of a lease decreases the number of units in a common interest community, the allocated interests shall be reallocated in accordance with section 38-33.3-107 (1), as though those units had been taken by eminent domain. Reallocations shall be confirmed by an amendment to the declaration prepared, executed, and recorded by the . association. 3 Vai9 Coananons Proposal Eaaluation Criteria Ttae Gart Companaes 1.

We would appreciate you completing your answers to these questions and faxing them to me at 970/479-2452, by noon on 1VIay 12, 1995. Be sure to also include a full discussion of these issues in the hand-outs which you are preparing for your presentation, as the Council and Task Force will not be provided with this information prior to the hearing. 1. a. VUhat is the specific monetary relationship between proposed rents/sale prices and the return to the Town? In other words, if the Town Council requests that rents or sale prices be lowered, how will the proposed lease payments or purchase price be affected? b. The return to the Town for the property and the cost of the housing that will be provided are subject to negotiation. To aid in these negotiations and to equitably evaluate the various proposals under consideration, we ask that you provide a monetary estimate of how the proposed lease 1 Mr.1Vlark Donaldson ~ 1VIay 3, 1995 Page 2 payments/purchase price will be impacted if rents on all residential units are lowered by $50 per month and for-sale prices are reduced by $5,000 per unit. c. If this relationship is constant, please explain. 2. In an effort to understand the most beneficial land ownership scenario, for both you and the Town, we ask you to provide a description of the long-term financing for the project, under a variety of scenarios. After discussing the ownership issue with the Council in greater detail, three primary goals for the project have been identified: - a: To provide ff r 1 housing; b. To obtain a return on the original investment on the land; and c. To effectively maintain the residential component as Employee Housing in the future. The original goal of maintaining ownership and not subordinating the deed is still of general interest to some members of Council, but it is not as critical as the first three goals stated above. With the goal of advancing the project toward these three goals, please outline financing options described below: a. What potential advantages exist for you if the Town maintains ownership and establishes a lease payment structure? What are the advantages to you if the Town sells the land? Ho.w do you propose that future use of this land be controlled by the Town if certain uses, such as a discount retailer, are not desired by the Town? How do you propose that the lease be structured where multiple uses are on the same land (i.e. residential located above commercial)? If required by the type of financing proposed, how do you plan to subdivide the parcel and what are the specific lease terms and conditions proposed for each parcel? 2 Mr. 1Vlark Donaldson , May 3, 1995 Page 3 b. Which scenario, public or private ownership, provides the greatest return to the Town? c. Are you able to secure financing for improvements on leased land? How does the initial interest of the Town, regarding deed subordination, affect your ability to secure financing for the different components of the project? . d. Each team should be prepared to discuss how for-sale housing could work on leased land, and be prepared to explain alternatives if they can be shown to advance the three goals of the Council stated above. e. Which financial institutions do you plan to work with and what is the name of a person at each institution whom we can contact conceming their interest in providing financing for this project? What is the time line for acquiring firm financial commitments? How much is the development team bringing to the,project? f. In summary, please list each component of the project, the prefened financing structure, and the rank of these in order from those that are the easiest to finance to those that are the most difficult. 3. List any concerns the lender may have regarding the employee housing deed restrictions. These restrictions include requirements that the occupants be employees in Eagle County, that resale value be limited to a 3% annual increase, as well as other details that can be found in the deed restrictions. 4. Each developer should list the implications of their financing programs. Specifically, any federal financing programs, such as tax credits, should be described in detail. What is the renter profile that will be occupying these units under the requirements of federal programs? 5. Provide an updated operating proforma, which covers a minimum of 10 years. All assumptions including interest rates must be shown, even if internally financed. Particular detail should be provided on all fees that will be the obligation of 3 Mr. Mark Donaldson May 3, 1995 Page 4 commercial and residential tenants, including rents, common area maintenance fees, lease payments, etc. Any fees that will be charged by the developer/owner for property management must be specified. 6. Provide a detailed development budget separately listing all hard and soft project costs and providing information on construction financing. Be sure to include the proposed developer fees, as well as the type, source and rate of construction financing. We look forward to meeting with you on 1VIay 16 and 17. I will be calling you to set up specific times for the presentation and interview in the next few days. The Council, Task Force and community members are looking forward to seeing your proposal. If I can be of any assistance in the next couple of weeks, please give me a call.

Apri127, 1995 City Market c/o Victor Mark Donaldson, Architects . P.O. Box 5300 Avon, CO 81620 Dear Mark: As we informed you via letter, you have been selected as one of the four finalists for the Vail Commons development. We anticipate a two step interview on May 16 and 17. The interviews will consist of a 45 minute session with the Vail Town Council on the evening of May 16, 1995 when you will be given the opportunity to present an overview of your proposal to Council and the public and answer questions. The following day, May 17, 1995, we have scheduled a one hour session with Staff/Consultants/Designated Public Representatives. We will be in touch with you over the next several days to confirm schedules for these sessions. In the mean time, we wanted you to be aware of the types of questions that we will be focusing on at the upcoming interviews. There will be a series of questions that will be addressed to all teams, and selected questions that will be targeted toward each individual team based on our initial review of your specific proposal. You should be prepared to give an overview of your proposal using no more than 15 minutes of the allotted 45 minutes with the Town Council. Please plan to address the questions within the 15 minutes as well as provide summary materials in writing to further explain your responses. As summarized below and in the attachment, a number of questions relate to the specifics of your proposal and to the program that you propose. Some questions concem the site plan and some concern your program and estimated costs. In addition, there are some specific financial questions that have arisen, and we expect several additional financial questions to emerge following a work session that the Town Council has scheduled for next Tuesday,lViay, 2, 1995. We will be sending these to you immediately following their meeting. SD$e ]pBaA&&11EHHg llSSlAeso During the review of the original seven proposals, the Town Council made several general comments. The Council was interested in seeing additional underground parking provided, to the extent possible, and included in any revision to the proposed site plans. In general, the Council 1Vlark Donaldson April 27, 1995 Page 2 was interested in the ripple effect throughout the West Vail area. 1Vlore specifically, the Council was willing to consider limited automobile access off of Chamonuc for residential purposes only. IVo "cut through" traffic should be allowed in any amendment to your site plan. The Council also requested that applicants provide site sections at two critical points, one through the commercial portion and one through the residential portion. In addition to these comments that pertain to all of the remaining developers, specific comments regarding your site plan are provided below: a. Exceptional diversity of housing options, with different types of units well buffered from each other by parking and green space. b. Residential blocks are well sited for solar access to individual living units and the - creation of usable common open space. Long expanses of aligned building facades are avoided, creatirig a more interesting varied composition. c. The visibility from the Frontage Road of a large grocery store and its associated parking areas is minimized. d. The east-west pedestrian connections through the site could be stronger than what is shown. e. Good utilization of the grocery store roof for condos, private courtyards, and parking f. Good separation of commercial from residential traffic. g. No vehicular traffic is added to Chamonix. h. The Chamonix Lane frontage regains a pleasant residential character. The only element that breaks its continuity is the exposed grocery parking lot, which is a full level below Chamonix but which could benefit from better screening. i. Interior vehicular access may be too congested and need a Chamonix curb cut. j. Any potential to address the "ripple effect"? Selectnofi cCa-nteu-ea The Town has provided the selection criteria below to reiterate the importance of these in our selection process. . 1. Review and discussion of the proposed development plan(s), including project scale and land use interrelationships. Quality of site planning and treatment of parking and open space, and livability for residents and users of the commercial area. Imagination and creativity in land planning, as evidenced by plans for the Vail Commons site and in previous work, an ability to meet the quality , expectations of the town, and design as evidenced by previous projects will be evaluated. 1VYark Donaldson April 27, 1995 Page 3 2. The extent to which the proposal meets the community s needs for both housing and commercial uses. Site planning concepts will be evaluated on whether they address the identified community need and the long-term needs of the residents and shoppers. For exarriple, family units must be designed to be livable, with appropriate amenities and open spaces. Pedestrian/bicycle access through the site should be sensitive to the Vail Commons n to the larger needs of West Vail. These and other community benefits will be considered in the review process. 3. The potential of the plan as proposed to create a"ripple eff'ect" resulting in desirable development off-site, including improvements and/or the creation of affordable housing or commercial redevelopment in areas beyond the Vail Commons boundaries. Development on the Vail Commons represents an important opportunity for other actions in the larger West Vail area; your plans will be evaluated based on any contributions to West Vail, both on and off the site. 4. Discussion of approach to managing the proposed development. The Town seeks to ensure that residential development will remain affordable within the guidelines proposed. 5. Ability to ensure ongoing management of the proposed development and to maintain the development in an aesthetic manner, and to continue to house the targeted population will be evaluated. 6. Price and terms disclosed by the developer. The total offer to the Town of Vail, the structure of that offer, and the financial capability of the developer team to carry out the proposed site development will be carefully considered. The ability to secure financing, and to complete all negotiations withe the Town for the proposed development in a timely and expeditious manner, is important. 7. Quality and successful implementation of comparably sized developments. Affordable residential development experience and commercial development experience of a similar nature and at a similar scope will be viewed favorably, and the commitment to quality as evidenced by previous developments and their aesthetics will be considered. 8. Willingness to join in participatory process involving Town officials and staff, and neighborhood or community groups (as required). 0 1Vlark Donaldson April 27, 1995 . Page 4 Tnmnung . The Town is requesting that you provide responses to the concerns raised above, and in the attacbment, by noon on May 12, 1995. Please fax the information to me at 970/479-2452. The information will be used by the staff and consultants, but will not be provided to the Council in advance of the evening presentation on 1VIay 16, 1995.

Applicant: Ron Byrne Planner: Lauren Waterton V. DESCRIPT10N O~ THE PROPOSED l1SE In Sep4ember and December of 1992, the Town Council passed Ordinances 9 and 27, Series of 1992, to create a new Chapter 18.57 - Employee Housing, to provide for the addition of Employee Housing Units (EHUs) as permitted or conditional uses within certain zone districts within the Town of Vail. The definition in that.ordinance states: Section 18.04.105 "Employee Housing Unit (EHU) shall mean a dwelling unit which shall not be leased or rented for any period less than thirty (30) consecutive days, and shall be rented only to tenants who are full-time employees of Eagle County. EHUs shall be allowed in certain zone districts as set forth in Chapter 18 of this Code. Development standards for EHUs shall be as provided in Chapter 18.57 - Employee Housing. For the purposes of this Section, a full-time employee shall mean a person who works a minimum of an average of thirty (30) hours per week. There shall be five (5) categories of EHUs: Type I, Type 11, Type III, Type IV, and Type V. Provisions relating to each type of EHU are set forth in Chapter 18.57 - Employee Housing of this Code." In this praposal, the applicant is proposing to construct a Type II employee housing unit on a portion of the second level of a new primary/secondary residence. The employee housing unit uvill be approximately 450 square feet in size and will include one bedroom, one bathroom and a kitchen/living area.. One enclosed parking space will also be provided for the EHU. As described in more detail later in this memorandum, the applicant is proposing to utilize two "250 additions" in conjunction with the development of the employee housing unit. II.

"Since the area beneath this house and parking area exceeds a 30% slope, the site coverage allowance is reduced from 20% to 15%. Additionally, no more than 10% of the total site area (1,573 square feet) may be covered by driveways and surface parking. III. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS Upon review of Section 18.60 - Conditional Use Permits, the Community Development Department recommends approval of the conditional use permit based upon the following factors: A. Consideration of Factors: Before acting on a conditional use permit application, the Planning and Environmental Commission shall consider the factors with respect to the proposed use: 1. Relationshi a~ nd impact of the use on the development obiectives of the Town • When the Town Council adopted the Town of Vail Affordable Housing study on November 20, 1990, it recognized the need to increase the supply of housing. The Town encourages EHUs as a means of providing quality living conditions and expanding the supply of employee housing for 2 both year-round and seasonai local residents. The proposed unit will have a positive impact on the Town's housing needs. 2. The effect of the use on light and air, distribution of population iransportation facilities, utilities schools parks and recreation facilities and other public facilities needs. . Staff believes that there will be little impact from the proposed Type II EHU , on light, air, population, transportation, utilities, schools or parks. 3. Effect upon traffic with particular reference to conaestion automotive and , pedestrian safety and convenience traffic flow and control access maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street and parking areas. It is likely that there would be one additional vehicle associated with this residence. Staff feels that this would be an insignificant impact on the above-referenced criteria. 4.

Lot 5, Block 7, Vail Village First Filing This Office represents the owners of Lot 3A, Block 7, Vail Village, First Filing ("Lot 3A"). Our clients have become aware of the proposal for approval of an employee housing unit on the above property, and, while they do not object to the proposal for an employee housing unit on the property, they have concern regarding the orientation of the project and the expectations of future owners of the above property. The proposed construction seems to be oriented for an easterly view over Lot 3A, in a manner which presumes that the lower portion of Lot 3A will forever be vacant. The residence now located on the upper portion of Lot 3A is nearing the end of its useful life, and may be replaced in the near future. Because of access problems arising from the location of the upper portion of Rockledge Road on United States Forest Service property, it may be necessary that any new dwelling on Lot 3A be constructed on the lower portion of Lot 3A, in the view corridor of the proposed dwelling on Lot 5. Our clients, wish to emphasize that coristruction on Lot 5 should take into consideration the possibility of construction on the lower portion of Lot 3A, and, at a minimum, that the Town of Vail include this letter and a reference to the risk being assumed by the present construction with reference to absence of any view corridor. A preferred alternative, in order to protect future purchasers, would be the requirement that a notice be included in the public record. The owners of Lot 3A are not in a position to require that such a notice be created. However, the Town of Vail may desire to establish such notice as a condition of its approval of the proposed project. _ The consideration by the Planning and Environmental Commission of the foregoing concern is app ed.

At this point, we estimate the project to be two weeks behind schedule.

U.S. Forest Service Conference The U.S. Forest Service, in conjunction with CAST, will be hosting a conference on resort issues in Keystone on June 7-10, 1995 (information attached). I believe this conference wiil be of value to each of you. If you are interested in attending, please let Anne Wright know. Vail Improvement Process V1/e are continuing to work to improve and enhance the organizational effectiveness of the Towrn of Vail organization. This effort, commonly known as the Vait Improvement Process, involves a number of activities. Most recently, we have been working to develop and articulate the organizational values for the Town organization. As you may be aware, values are statements that describe that which an organization believes and for which it stands. They define the culture of an organization. Values influence how individuals within the organization interact with one another and with the external customers. Clearly defined, mutually shared and supported values are important because they help create a healthy organizational environment. They help foster trust, make organizational communication easier, and generally improve organizational effectiveness. VUe have been working on these issues for approximately six months. Last week we developed the final draft of our organizational values. I have attached a copy for your information. Although these value statements are not directly related to the Council or their policies, they are important because they will help us more effectively achieve the policy objectives of the Town of Vail. It is my intention to incorporate these values into performance appraisal instruments and to restructure the employee recognition program (employee of the year) around these organizational values. Finally, I believe as we begin measuring decisions and judging behavior in the context of our values, we will improve upon the three issues addressed in the BBC reporf. These include elimination of fear and building trust, improving systems for communication, and decision making. CAST Meetinq. CAST will be holding its May meeting in Glenwood Springs on May 19, 1995, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (see attached information). There will be a dinner on May 18th at 7:00 p.m. If you are interested in attending, please contact Anne VVright. Update on Buses As you are aware, Eagle County has contributed $28,000 to fund continuation of the Gypsum/Vail bus service. This amount will fund approximately 1/3 of the cost and keep this service running until July 10th. The County has requested the Town contribute to this service. Although no specific amount was requested, it is my recommendation that we meet the County's contribution. VUe estimate depreciation on the buses to be approximately $1,000 per month, per bus. You should also be aware we expect to receive a rebate of approximately $5,000 for the Leadville bus service which could be used for this purpose. At this point, I believe the actual total TOV expenditure would be approximately $20,000. Because we have not budgeted these funds, it woutd be necessary to take this money from the General Fund fund balance. Assuming this program is extended to 1996, this program would be treated like other TOV programs. In other words, funds for this program would need to come either from newr revenues or from an existing program. I believe this is extremely important in the development of a regional transportation system and would urge you to authorize the expenditure of these funds. R1IVM/aw C:\Townmgr.rpt • .

Please adjust your schedules accordingly, or contact Assistant Tovun Manager Pam Brandmeyer at 479-2113 for details of the meeting. The Council Highlights will resume May 24. WoP'k SeSS9oP9 BPBefs Council members present: Lapin, Osterfoss, Shearer, Strauch --PEC Report Following a staff report on the May 8 Planning & Environmental Commission meeting, the Council voted 3-0 (Osterfoss absent) to call-up PEC approval of a conditional use to allow a type 11 employee housing unit at 126 Forest Rd. The applicant, Ron Byrne, will be asked to uphold future provisions of the town's employee housing unit guidelines. The review will take place at the May 16 evening Council meeting, unless the applicant agrees to the provisions ahead of time. For more.information, contact Lauren Waterton in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. Also yesterday, the Council echoed concerns about access and parking issues raised during a preliminary review by the PEC of a proposal to amend the Ford Park Master Plan to allow for construction of an education center on town-owned land by the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens. Council members expressed an interest in resolving the access and parking concerns as soon as possible so the issues won't impact future fund raising efforts by the Vail Alpine Garden Foundation. If approved, the project is projected to be open for public use by the summer of 1997. For more information, contact Susan Connelly in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --DRB Report During a review of actions taken at the May 3 Design Revievv Board meeting, the Council voted 4-0 to call up DRB approval of an interior tenant finish and new storefront at the old Verbatim Bookstore location at the Crossroads Shopping Center, 141 E. (more) , ~ Council Highlights/Add 1 Meadow Dr. The Council will attempt to request additional exterior improvements at the shopping center when the matter is heard at the May 16 evening Council meeting. For more information, contact Randy Stouder in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. The Council also agreed to move forward with replacement of the Pulis/Golf Course Bridge after learning the project had been tabled to May 17 for review by the Design Review Board. Council members were hoping the Vail Recreation District (VRD) would help with the project in the form of aesthetic improvements. But Council members were told yesterday by town staff the VRD has not indicated a willingness to participate. As proposed by the town, the $500,000 project will widen the bridge to improve its function, with the ability to add aesthetic treatments later. Council members agreed to continue lobbying the VRD for participation. The project is funded by an 80-20 federal grant. Construction is scheduled for August. For more information, contact Public Works Director Larry Grafel at 479-2173. --Sign Discussion After viewing a slide presentation illustrating the proliferation of traffic signs throughout town, the Council endorsed a staff recommendation to evaluate the placement and necessity of each sign while attempting to balance the town's desire for equitable enforcement of parking and traffic regulations. The project could result in fewer signs; consolidation of information; and creation of attractive, and friendlier messages, according to Public Works Director Larry Grafel. He was asked to present some specific recommendations to the Council following a review of each area of town, beginning with the frontage roads. For more information, contact Grafel at 479-2173 --Discussion of Electrical Utility Undergrounding The Council endorsed continued efforts by the town to bury overhead utility lines throughout the community. Although an effort to create a special improvement district to bury utility lines in East Vail failed in 1992, the town has continued to look for other solutions. Public Works Director Larry Grafel told the Council yesterday the town has worked in partnership with Holy Cross Electric to create incentives for developers to bury lines as part of their construction projects. Also, the Council discussed the feasibility of burying utility lines in conjunction with TCI Cablevision's upcoming townwide installation of fiber.optic cable. Public Works Director Larry Grafel was asked to create a long-term plan for utility undergrounding to be discussed by the Council in July. For details, contact Grafel at 479-2173. --Animal Control Discussion The Council reviewed a modified version of an animal control ordinance which aims to strengthen existing regulations, but stops short of imposing a town-wide leash law. The measure, now under consideration for approval at the June 6 evening Council meeting, would allow dogs to be off-leash in neighborhoods so long as the animal remained under voice control and within 10 feet of the responsible person. However, (more) ~ ~ - q 1 , Council Highlights/Add 2 dogs engaged in training woutd be eXempt from the 10 feet rule, although Council members agreed the proposed exemption should undergo additional discussion. The measure would continue to impose mandatory leash law provisions in Vail Village, Lionshead, in parks and along recreation paths throughout town. At the suggestion of fiAayor Peggy Osterfoss, the revised ordinance will stress responsible pet ownership with a recommendation to maintain physical control (leashes) of dogs as endorsed by the Eagle County Humane Society. Once in place, members of the community would be encouraged to offer feedback on the new 10-foot regulations, Osterfoss said, especially in the area of enforcement. If unsuccessful, Osterfoss said, the Council would likely reconsider'a town-vuide leash law. The measure comes up for final approval on June 6. For more information, contact Bob Slagle at Eagle County Animal .

Mayor Peggy Osterfoss Town Of Vail 75 South Frontage Road 1Nest Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Peggy: I learned that the "250" ordinance is coming up for discussion again at your work session on 16 Niay 1995. Unfortunatly, I will be on vacation, as many people are in May, and will not ge able to attend the meeting. I would hope that no action would be taken in May while so many people are out of town. I still feel very strongly that the 250 square feet should be left in place. I have had many property owners, all locals, approach me and say they, intend to utilize the 250 square fieet and hope it will remain available to them. I am very sorry I cannot attend the meeting on the 16th but you have heard my concerns which have not changed. If anything, based on input from locals in both East and VVest Vail, I fe21 more strongly it should be left in place just as it is. Thank you for your consideration. Best Regards, ~ Rod Slifer BKIDGE STREET AT VAIL VILLAGE OFFICE • 230 E3RIDGE STREET, VAIL, COLORADO 8IE57 • TELErHOrvE: (303) 476-2421 ~ FAx: (303) 476-2658 p Exclu.i~~e Aflili;uc ~ ~ IN7ERNp77()\AL ILEA1,7'1' . P.AAtI ` ' • ' ~~..f.` May 4, 1995 Dear Town Council Member, I am writing to voice my concern about your current discussions around the 11250 sq ft" rule. I feel strongly that the allowance ought to be left in place. I do understand that it has been abused. I think the solution is to monitor its application a Tittle more carefully...not to do away with it. With your current concern about keeping local families in the Town of Vail...I don't see how you can take away a vehicle that allows them to expand their homes a bit to support growing families or lifestyles that need more room. I think the locals who do live in the Town of Vail will view this as a very negative and unfriendly act from the Town , Council. However, I, like you, am,tired of watching the wealthy take advantage of the "rules". I'm all for the Council/PEC/Design Review saying NO when advantage is being sought instead of always bartering. I believe that developers and individuals come to the Town asking for twice what they actually want/need knowing that in the negotiations they have a good chance of ending up with what they want. I think the Town is being "outfoxed" over and over again. I do not believe that the intention of the 250 sq ft allowance was ever that it be used only for employee housing. I think your . interpretation of that is a resul•t of today's politically correct stance on employee housing. Limiting it only to employee housing would, I believe, do little to help the local families. I doubt that you'd see people rushing out to build employee housing apartments. Again, I support the 250 sq ft allowance and, wish to see stronger enforcement to do away with abuses. Ginny Culp cil x C ~ C(f(.t~u-cL,L Bq UL April 11, 1995 ~(,~g.c~'?vu~~ Dear Chief Hughey: I am writing this letter to inform you of the exemplary job one of your officers performed. On Saturday, March 25th, myself, my husband, and our two children were involved in a roll over accident in Eagle County. Our vehicle rolled completely over, crushing the roof of the car and of course breaking all of the windows out. If you can remember, this was an extremely snowy evening. The lack of windows Ieft our children, age 10 months and 3 years, cold and wet from the incoming snow. I quickly removed the baby from his car seat and brought him in to the front seat with me. My husband took our older boy from his car seat and brought him in to the front seat with him. This took about three minutes to do as no one was injured or had lost consciousness. As soon as we retrieved the kids, I looked up to see an officer standing at my passenger side door, it was Officer Michael Bulkeley. Officer Bulkeley immediately put our children's car seats in his vehicle and provided us with warm dry blankets as ours were of course wet and muddy. He helped us get our children in to. his car where it was warm and dry. He assisted my husband in looking for things that had flown from the car. Officer Bulkeley called for help for my family in terms of another officer and I believe the ambulance. He stayed with my family, made sure we were taken care of, and even went so far as to offer to help us find a place to stay, as all of the hotels in the area were full. He helped us transport our luggage into the ambulance and the deputy's car so that it could be safe from the snow or anyone rummaging through our car before the wrecker could arrive. This all seems like something any officer might do if they were in charge of an accident. The reason I find his service so outstanding is that Offcer Bulkeley was not on duty at the time. He was on his way home after having already served a full day, (which I am sure, due to the condztions of the day, was much longer than an eight hour day with regular breaks and lunch hour!). He was there immediately following the accident, as if he were a guardian angel, and certainly took excellent care of ine and my family. His caring and professional handling of the situation brought calm to a very terrifying event. I hope you will recognize him for the job that he performed. We will never forget what he did for our family. We are truly lucky to have been spared any injury, and very lucky to have been under his care. We have thought of him often since the accident, our families are also thanlcful he was near by. Please send our thanks on to him. , ;Respectfully,-' 7y ~ Stacy, Mi , Christopher and Parker Poore , ~ . ~~v ~ ' / `•z ~ v i ~ C~~~ . l ?-z~-• _ , . ~ IJ TL~ fami17 of ; / GY~K--- acknowjed~es wit~ ~sraterul ' O eppreeiation t" lind exPreseion of yoQr avmpath~ United States Foreat White River P.O.

Osterfoss Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Peggy, Thank you for your May 2, 1995 letter indicating a desire to continue wi.th a land exchange implementing the Land Ownership Adjustment Plan recently approved by the Town and the WYiite River National Forest. I am pleased to see the progress that has been accomplished to date by our staffs. The next action to accomplish is the creation and signing of an "Agreement to Initiate an Exchange". This Agreement is a non-binding document required by our regulations. It will serve to document the lands involved in the exchange as well as the actions to be taken by both the.Town and the Forest Service through the exchange processing.procedure. I have directed the staff of the Holy Cross Ranger District to immediately begin the preparation of this document in cooperation with the Town. After the signing of this document, we will quickly move forward in having the land segregated from mineral entry (filing of mining claims), getting the parcels appraised and surveyed, title insurance and beginning the public involvement efforts of the Environmental Analysis process. We will use your November, 1995 date as a target for the signing of a binding "Exchange Agreement". Please continue to work directly with the staff of the Holy Cross Ranger District throughout the process, and as always, feel free to call me at.any time. • Sincerely, 0 VETO J.

It follows the conference between Vail Associates and the Forest Service, a number of weeks ago, which concluded that a partnership, therefore a team, was the framework to best achieve strategic and social goals. What I would like to offer in this brief inemorandum are some observations and thoughts for an even broader partnership that includes all Vail stakeholders and challenge each of you and your respective organizations to remove politics, private agendas, a fixation with short term wealth and profits, and thereby devise, as the strategic objective for the partnership, a well thought long range set of goals for what I will call "total" Vail. What is "total" Vail? In my mind it is a well-rounded complete community that has a defined and implemented vision of its future and offers a way of life to ,every resident and business that is challenging, safe and rewarding. That is a strong order. But that is the -nature of vision, and certainly pragmatism tempers--and must temper--idealism and abstract vision. Yet a community without vision begins its death watch, and that should be a wake-up call for Vail. How does a long range stakeholder partnership begin? You have started it well. Perhaps the next step is to institute a well orchestrated symposium or "town meeting" of participants from every venue, including a group of average John or Jane Does, inquiring sYStematically about what the vision of Vail's future should be. This can build on what has excellently begun with your partnership, . the TOV questionnaires and neighborhood meetings, and a good prioritization of the elements of the vision. A symposium of this nature begins real communication within the community, which, in my observation, has been absent. And real communication is the key to implementing long range planning. Everyone in Vail, it seems, loves to talk, but few of us have learned that listening is the most important part of communication. Learning results from it, and that must be an objective of the symposium. ~ The second ob jective is to institute a framework for a partnership among all relevant entities, so the ultimate partnership is among the stakeholders of Vail, not just a narrowly focused partnership between two major employers. This is important, for all business and political entities must buy into the master partnership if a pragmatic social economy is to exist in Vail. Next, the symposium must forge a basis and commitment that each entity will make strategic decisions, if they effect others, only after consulting with, and thereby learning the capabilities--and needs--of the other stakeholders. This will be the hardest culture change for your partnership, for it is a basic statement of trust, which has often been absent over the past 30 years. There is an excellent recent example of why open consultation must be part of any partnership: The extension of the ski season by one week, this last year, without consulting other stakeholders, shot Vail's marketing effort, for at least one group of guests, in the proverbial foot: A group of Brits. who were stranded at a bus stop in East Vail that week, will never come here again. Their comment? "Other ski areas we visit do a greatly better job of coordinating their services." Now, what is the social and perhaps most important issue that needs to be cansidered at the symposium? A strategic plan for the stakeholder partnership to create a long term viable community in Vail. That includes real employee housing, culture, good and convenient education, true job security, open space, growth control and criteria, public transportation that works regionally, aesthetics, protection of the environment and a few other notable things. Is this a random list or are some more important than others? For me it is a random list: all have equal weight, for all- must be instituted and managed with great energy. Why? Because they must balance and control my observation that Vail , has-too great an obsession with short term wealth, and a cataract about its long term future. The early concept for primarily commercial development of the Commons site comes to mind in that regard. Why is this last paragraph important? There is related component which must be considered for our future. Vail must continue to exhibit a pragmatic vision on how to continually provide excellent service to its customers. That is probably beyond the direct scope of the symposium, but is the other side of the dichotomy for the future of Vail--customers are essentially where every paychec'k r comes from and that must be an economic and social focus. How is this done? Simply: by the creation and pragmatic management of a community which has a sufficient number of happy, motivated, job secure, permanent citizens. Happy, secure employees simply offer better customer service. Should employees therefore be stakeholders in the partnership? Most current business management treatises think so. And lip service doesn't count. So the final objective for the symposium might be to consider the criteria for a balance between the needs of the customer and the needs of the community. That is probably the most important vision we need f.o f.ake into fhe next century. It allows us to create and implement a partnership with every stakeholder. Implement, of oourse, is fhe active Faord. For tivith oommunity and sacial issues, it has been our historic downfall. q A i ' Lfl`V,~ r o < n Av~ ~ 1995 d : ~ Northwesg Colorado Citizens Meeting on Growth .

Coordination A growth management plan could also be considered a growth coordination strategy. Since growth pressures don't stop at jurisdictional boundaries, successful growth management is usually only feasible through a cooperative inter jurisdictional effort. 2. Planning Growth management systems build upon a solid planning foundation. Good planning helps make growth management plans that are: more iealistic; implemented by reasonable means; likely to be supported by the community; and legally supportable as a legitimate use of police power regulation. 3. Consistency Consistency and coordination of policies are fundamental to successful growth management. The goals and policies of the jurisdictions managing growth together must be internally consistent and coordinated with the growth management strategy. 4. Concurrency The concept of concurrency requires that the infrastructure, public services and facilities necessary to maintain the communiry's service level standards be available simultaneous with development impacts or by a specific time. 5. Conservation Interest in conserving or protecting open space, important natural and cultural resources and agricultural land is often a part of the community's motivation for managing growth. Conservation is often more feasible and effective as a part of a growth management plan since it can provide more effective tools to suppon conservation efforts. 6. Urlban Forrri Economic, environmental and social costs are often directly related to development patterns. Strategies that control urban form can create more compact, clearly defined urban areas. These use infrastructure and resources more efficiently and reduce the cost of providing and maintaining urban services. Clearly defined areas also help maintain a sense of community.

At$aIlimabRe Hou~~iimg Recently adopted growth management plans have been a friend to attainable housing. They incorporate strategies that create a diversity of housing opportunities and a variety of residential densities and housing types that various income levels within the community can afford. 8. Econoffiic DeveRopment Growth management plans should include economic development strategies. These can be used to: stimulate development during slow economic times; provide incentives to encourage the type of development needed to balance the community's growth; and direct development to locations where it is needed and desirable. 9o TiffiIlng Several growth management strategies control the timing, rate and/or the sequence in which growth occurs. The most common methods include: Phasing of capital improvements and community facilities; Quota Systems; and the use of Tiers or a system of growth boundaries. 10e S,ustagnable Development Communities should develop in a way that ensures its perpetuation on a social, economic, , and environmental basis. Not only must we respect the limits of the environment in which the community is located, but we need to maintain it in a healthy state. Since there is no such thing as "sustainable growth" in a world of finite resources, the community can not base its long term economic viably upon continued new growth. Instead the community should focus upon wiser development. , We have a choice about our future: We need to choose wisely. We need to make decisions now that tivill enable us to pass on the community and its environment in a state that earns us the title -"Good Ancestors. " Prepared By Ed Del Duca for Northwest Colorado Council of Governmenu 9 Typical Objectives of Growth Management Systems 1. Optimization of public investment in infrastructure, public facilities and services . through more predictable and efficient development patterns and more effective phasing to meet current and future needs. Keeping the cost to provide public services and taxes as low as possible. 2. Ynter jurisdictional consistency - using mutually defined desired results to facilitate better coordination of policies and regulations to implement the mutual goals of affected jurisdictions. 3. Usang a deliberate, comprehensive and coordinated process to establish and accomplish community goals which are based on varied perspectives and strong citizen participation. Raising the level of planning with increased rationality, comprehensiveness and responsiveness. 4. Addressing root causes of problems and solving inter-related problems simultaneously, efficiently and effectively. Rather than addressing symptoms in a piece-meal manner. Avoiding the creation of future problems which will need to be addressed. 5. I'rotecting the interest's of the community and it's quality of life. Allowing new development at a reasonable pace without eroding the level and reliability of services, reducing availabiliry of facilities or exceeding infrastructure capabilities. 6. Creating a more liveable community with development patterns that are more compact, efficient, and convenient. Defining urban form and improving development design with closer functional relationship to infrastructure and transportation. 7. Balancing growth and environmental protection through wiser use of limited resources, placing greater emphasis on the quality of natural and created environments and integrating development with narural processes and local ecosystems. 8. Creating whole communities with an adequate and diverse supply of attainable housing, that is reasonably balanced with employment opportunities. ' 9. Protecting rural economies and complete ecosystems. Protecting the support services need for agricultural operation. Conserving open space, environmentally sensitive areas, wildlife habitat and important forest and agricultural lands. 10. Providing positive economic stimulation where and when it is necessary and moving the communicy towards lonQ term economic and environmental sustainability with less reliance . upon new growth for continued prosperity. Prepared By Ed Del Duca for Norrhwest Colorado Council of Governmenu 10 (Growth Managernent Tools . A variety of growth management tools and techniques have been developed by states, regions and local governments throughout the country to guide the type, intensity, location, timing, rate and quality of growth and make regulations more equitable. Used in various combinations and building upon traditional land use tools, they create a comprehensive growth management system custom designed to met the needs of a particular area. Typically inter jurisdictional cooperation is needed to. affectively coordinate growth. Some of the more commonly used techniques and tools used to implement growth management concepts or which are used as a part of growth management strategies are briefly described in this section. They include: 1. Adequate Public Facilities Ordinances (APFOs) 2. Urban Growth Boundaries or Urban Limit Lines 3. Tiers 4. Urban Form 5. Transfer Development Rights (TDRs) 6. Quota Systems or Annual Permit Limits 7. Three Mile Plans / Annexation 8. Rural Area Land Protection Strategies and Techniques 9. Utility Service Areas . 10. HB 1041 Powers 11. Bonus and Incentive Zoning 12. Attainable and Affordable Housing 13. Intergovernmental Agreements 14. Exactions and Impact Fees 15. Interim Control Measures 16. Temporary 1Vloratoria These and other traditional land use planning tools used in association with or to support growth management planning are described in "Growth Management and overview of growth coordination strategies" available from the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments 1-303-468-0295 x 105 . Prepared By Ed Del Duca for Northwest Colorado Council of Governments Several ideas expressed were: 1) the'three key issues should be considered as a tripod, all three legs being necessary to support the complete structure; 2) infrastructure is necessary in all three areas; 3) physical and cultural impediments to the desired future should be identified; and 4) each zown in the Courity is unique and the plan should celebrate and build on that uniqueness. In.keeping with the last idea stated, upon completion of the Countywide Comprehensive Plan, each municipality was asked to do a similar plan of their own to demonstrate their vision of the future for their specific area. As stated, each individual city, • town and neighborhood within Clear Creek County has unique characteristics and visions, and what is a top priority in one area may not hold true for another. As a result, Silver Plume, Georgetown, Empire, Dumont -Lawson -Downieville, Alice/St. Mary's, Idaho Springs, Floyd Hill, Upper Bear and Mt. Evans have a1.1 submitted comprehensive plans for what they would like to envision as the future for their area. The challenge was to find a better, more constructive way to influence the future of our community. Z'his work is only a beginning. Our hope is zhat this vision will be modified, elaborated upon and become a cornerstone for action so that a constructive future vision becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. 13 ~~EN OOD SPRINGS PL / Y N,/ r ~~DAd E. • A report from the Community Develooment Department ' Questions or camments7 Citv of Glenwood Sorinas.

A Joint LTpper Blue nriaster Plan Committee has been formed and charged with the imposing task of reviewing the existing master plans for the Upper Blue Basin and charting a course for the future. 'I'he Committee members represent the Breckenridge Town Council, Blue Itiver Town Board, Board of County Commissioners, Breckenridge Planning Commission and Upper Blue Planning Commission. Ivlore importantly, the committee represents the community - its residents (permanent, seasonal, 2nd home), landowners and businesses. PROCESS . As a first step in looking at the future of the basin and developing a land use plan, the committee has identified issues that are a concern. These issues have been derived from discussions by the committee over the past three months. Also identified are suggested vision/goals/policies that respond to the issues and form the basis for subbasin land use planning. The subbasin land use plans will provide more specific direction regarding character of development, density, provision of services and protection/enhancement of community assets and environmentallysensitive areas. Z'he committee has initially identified 14 subbasins which are listed on the next page. Public meetings to specifically discuss land use and related issues within these subbasins will begin on IVlarch 30 (7:00 p.m. at the Breckenridge Town Hall) with the Hoosier Pass and Blue River areas. The process will continue through the summer and early fal] until all the areas have been addressed to the satisfaction of the committee and the public. The committee wi]] complete its work by reviewing the cumulative unpacts of the plan aiid sending final recommendations to the towns and the county. . 16 COMMUNITY INPUT What is special about the Upper Blue Valley and what do we need to do to protect those special qualities? . The community's thoughts on this key question will set the stage for the committee's work on the subbasin plans. Defining the qualities and components that are crucial to . maintaining the special sense of community that make the Upper Blue unique is the focus of tonight's meeting. The committee will be asking for your input on these key questions tonight. You may also send your comments to the staff at the County or Town of Breckenridge. Names, phone numbers and addresses are listed on the next page. An second step in this plannina process is to get community input on the issues and vision/goals/policies that have been identified. The committee needs to know if the work done to date accurately reflects the community's concerns and ideas about the future. To help you think about the information in this document, you might want to start with the following questions: • Do the issues accurately reflect what you are concerned with? ' • Should the plan address a broader or narrower scope of community concerns? • Do the vision/goal/policy statements respond to the issues? • Do the vision/goal/policy statements reflect a direction that you think is appropriate? There will not be time tonight to go into the detailed contents of this document. Please take tune to scan this, focussing on your area of concern or reviewing the entire contents, and let us know what you think. The third step in the process will be the specific subbasin plans. The committee will start with the Hoosier Pass/Blue River area on March 30 (7:00 p.m. at the Breckenridge Town Hall). Public input on the specific land use and related issues for this area will be sought at that tune. Public meetings on the other subbasins will be held throughout the spring and summer. You may sign up to receive notice of these meetings tonight, or call the County Planning Department to put your name on our mailing list. We want your input. It will make a difterence!

Many citizen, government and non-profit groups were struggling with various ways to address these issues. There appeared to be some duplication of effort and a lack of communication between these groups. Citizens perceived, perhaps with some merit, that local government was planning and studying the issuesiprobiems to the extreme bui very liitie actual work had been done to implement programs or projects which would address such issues. Many government officials, business leaders, special interest organizations and citizens felt there were several major issues and/or problems brought on by growth pressures in the valley that most people would recognize. However, because of the lack of communication there was no broad- based acceptance of priority issues and possible ways to implement solutions. To that end, the YVEDC and other agencies/groups began to pursue ways to better communicate with local residents and the numerous local, state and federal government agencies involved in the Yampa Valley to address concerns from a broader, basin-wide perspective. The idea of the Yampa River Basin Partnership grew and efforts were made to start basin-wide cooperative communication, planning and project implementation. With the assistance of a grant from the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund, the Yampa River Basin Partnership organizers planned and held a two-day conference on December 5& 6, 1994 entitled "Shaping the Future of the Yampa River Basin: A Working Leadership Conference". The conference focused on bringine diverse interest groups together to learn about differing view points on the major issues facing the Yampa River Basin. The conference was very successful with over 260 neople in attendance representine business, environmental, aericuttural, sociaUeducationaUhuman resource organizations and many government agencies. Through facilitated small group discussions a consensus was reached on the top eight (8) basin-wide, priority issues. In addition, to this consensus on basin-wide priorities, conferees mandated that an organization or sub-organization beein work immediately to take concrete steps which would implement some solutions to the following priority issues: PO Box 775088- Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 (303) 879-2060 19 0 , . . o MANAGE GROVEITH, DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE a MAINTAIN AND BUILD A HEALTHY, DIVERSE ECONONTY BASED UPON RESPONSIBLE USE OF NATURAL RESOURCES o PROTECT AND ENHANCE AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS o PROTECT AND ENHANCE VdATER .QUALITY AND WATER RIGHTS o GENERATE INTERAGENCY AND INTERGROUP COLLABORATION • o PROTECT AND ENHANCE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE o PROTECT AND ENHANCE OUR NATURAL RESOURCES o REVIEW EXISTING REGULATIONS AND DETERIVTINE WAYS TO ACCOMPLISH DESIRED GOALS THROUGH INCENTIVES. On the second day of the conference, participants issued a mandate through facilitated small work groups as follows: CREATE A TASKFORCE/COMNIITTEE SOON TO ESTABLISH AN EMPOWERED, BASIN-VVIDE, DIVERSE, REPRESENTATIVE, NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION THAT HAS A MISSION STATEMENT AND SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES TO ACCOMPLISH THE PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED AT THE YAMPA RIVER BASIN PARTNERSHIP CONFERENCE HELD DECEMBER 5& 6, 1994 IN STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLORADO. THIS ORGANIZATION WILL HAVE FUNDING, STAFF AND MEET REGULARLY IN DIFFERENT FORUMS WITH PERIODIC EVALUATION OF ITS PROCESS AND ACTIVITIES. Participants at the conference stated a desire that something specific happen soon to implement solutions. Many indicated a need to meet as a laree conference in a year and perhaps as an annual event. Immediately followincy the conference closure, 42 individuals volunteered to be part of the above referenced task force which would meet a soon as possible to help formulate the organization and seek the appropriate resources for implementation. These individuals are scheduled to meet and begin the work with staff support provided by the Cities of Craig and Steamboat Springs. ~ We anticipate it will take several months for this volunteer tasl:force to complete their initial assignment to set up the organization that will be responsible for the Yampa River Basin Partnership activities. ~G' ~ Wendy B.Bord Yampa River Basin Partnership Co-Coordinator 20 4 . EAGLE RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN ' PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE PLAN The purpose of the Eagle River Management Plan is to outline actions that can be taken to protect and enhance the Eagle River watershed. The Eagle River Management Plan addresses the entire Eagle River watershed which includes the Eagle River, all csf its tributary streams and the headwater lakes and springs. The Eagle River Management Plan focuses on the protection and enhancement of water quantity and quality, wildlife habitat, recreation opportunities and land use impacts. , NEED FOR THE PLAN Although the watershed is a common bond and resource that all the towns and County share, a unified approach to protecting the watershed was lacking. This is plan is a first step towards establishing and promoting a proactive, local approach to watershed protection, placing the stewardship focus on local citizens and governments. THE PLA?NNING PROCESS The Eagle River Management Plan (ERMP) was initiated by local governments after protection of the Eagle River was identified as a top community concern through town and County master planning forums and surveys. Eagle County, Gypsum, Eagle, Avon, Minturn, Red Cliff, Vail, CDOW, BLM, NPS and USFS have worked together and with citizens to create this guidance document. IMPLEMENTATION This plan is intended to be a guide for local decision making and regulatory revision. Implementation will be carried out bv collective and individual effort on the part of local government, regional agencies and citizens. The plan includes an action plan for timely implementation of recommendations.' The level of commitment of each entity to implementation will vary but all participants in the plan are encouraged to carry on with the cooperative effort to achieve the plan purpose - improve and enhance the condition of the watershed. COMMON GOALS AND PRIORITY ISSUES OF THE EAGLE RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN The following outlines Goals of the Plan and Priority.lssues. The plan is organized into chapiers on each issue area. Many of the goals for each issue area are similar because the inherent connections between watershed issues. 21 v OriloCk}! flflounta9n Iffas$9$ute'S Economa~ ~~~ewal Program Tools and Training to pu4 sus4ainable development writhin every community's reach Economic Renewal offers written materials, introductory presentations, training seminars, and consultation to communities who wish to develop themselves while preserving community and environmental values. Economic Renewal (ER) is development that does not necessarily require community expansion. Fostering the wise and sustainable use of resources, it can be used for general economic development or development that emphasizes energy or food and agriculture. 9n$rroductory presen$ations offer the ideas and examples of collaborative decision making and sustainable development to town meetings, community leaders, and conferences through lecture and discussion. Traonung Seaninars: Through discussion and practice, citizens and professionals learn to make sustainable development happen in communities . using ER materials and decision-making process. Specifically, they learn to: • Mobilize a community, • Create a vision of a community's fiuture, • Expand a community's range of economic opportunities, and • Launch practical projects to strengthen the community's economy. Consultat6on and 4oBlow-up: RMI supports and advises communities interested in sustainable development. RMI also conducfs RIVII town meetings, meets individually with local leaders, and trouble-shoots problems. Publica4ions include a paper entitled, Paying for Growth, Prospering from Development; and books: Economic Renewa/ Guide, lntroduction to Economic Renewal, Community Energy Workbook, Food and Agriculture Workbook, Financing Economic Renewal Projects. The Guide and workbooks provide step- by-step instructions for assessing a town's unique conditions and developing practical projects for sustainable development. Techniqtae: RfVll's collaborative community process mobilizes people from all walks of life to participate in six town meetings that include visioning, economic inventory and analysis, project brainstorming, and project selection-a process that requires tvvo to fiour months. RMI's technique can be used for general economic development or development specific to energy or fiood and agriculture. Economic Renewal offers four ways to achieve more susPainab/e communities: plug the needless leak of money from the community, support existing business, encourage new local business, and recruit compatible new business. ER casebooks describe sustainable development success stories. 'ER emphasizes community needs.and values, rather than business recruitment at any cost. 23 . To keep the price reasonable, the ER toolkit is designed to be usable by citizens and leaders. For instance, the detailed Economic Renewal Gurde steers citizen facilitators and professionals through the ER process so that they can conduct it without necessarily calling on RMI for direct help. They can aiso attend an ER training seminar to learn the ER process in detail. To date, RMI has conducted twenty-two seminars for over 400 people from eight US states, two Canadian provinces, two Australian states, and Sweden. Combining ER services to increase effectiveness and save money: Working with locally- and regionally-based partners, RMI offers a mix of its services to selected communities. (Partners have been nonprofit groups and government agencies.) In one example, RMI visited the community three times. On the first, introductory visit, RMI met with key local leaders and presented ER at an open town meeting. RMI returned a month later to conduct -a two-day . training seminar for a team of local residents. On its third visit, RMI conducted the first three steps of the ER process in a 1 1/2-day community workshop. The trained team was then able to complete the process on its own. The partner helped impliment chosen projects: Who uses ER? Snowflake, Arizona is using ER training seminars and RMI consultation. to find local sustainable development projects because residents want to build from within and because they fear a nearby pulp mill may soon close. Colorado's Plateau Valley is using ER to build on existing strengths rather than buckle under to second-home development. A Wisconsin nonprofit -group provided an ER seminar to three towns on Lake Superior. A.spen, Colorado used ER for community energy planning. One ER Success Story: Alamosa. Colorado, town manager, Mike Hackett says that ER "really did help bring the town together" and "fired up the people." It resutted in dramatic revitalization of downtown, alternative crops and fish farmina, a community recreation program, a business needs analysis, concrete planning for a community/conference center, and a flood control program that saves $115,000 in insurance each year. Organization: Seeking market solutions to resource rroblems, Recky Mountain Institute develops and implements new ways for people to enhance their quality of life and save money. RMI demonstrates ways to strengthen businesses and local economies while protecting the environment. Its conservative economic approach appeals to diverse groups and bridges community disputes that have previously seemed intractable. A non-profit research and educational organization, RMI focuses on energy, water, transportation and land, building. and community development. RMI's 40 staff provide information and direct service to individuals, communities, governments, and corporations worldwide.

We must strive to make our communities places where all ftids and adults can fully develop tlieir human capaci6es - their minds and bocies. We should woric together to ensure that strung families and communities, as well as great educational opportunities, cultural . resouroes, goad jabs, adequate food, dothing and health cane are available for all of our citizens. Colorado communities must sustain and enhance the lives of families ard incviduals today and for ths fuhue. 2) We need to enhance the quality of our place. We must identify and emptaseze both the physical and the human elennents of our communi6es that are.irtportant to us. We must make our cortunuruties rtwne livable by keeping crime off our streets, making all our neighborhoods attrwtive, pmtecting odu nahual resouroes and cWetxating the magnificence of our setting. We also must cultivate an ethic of community, prsserving toums and neighbortioods where we kraw and care for each other, wheae we respsct cultural and ethnic cfiversity and the value of the environment, and where a child can grow up with a healthy body and healthy values. 3) At the local and reaional level, we should better coordnate qrowth alannina with the provision of services such as schools, water, infrasVucture and transaortation. A more cooperative effat belween govemments, communi6es and the private sector to make sure se?vices accomparry growth YAll guarantee the provision of seMces for new development, avad duplication and inefficient use of services, allow for the fairer allocation of the cost of development, acxount for rmn-fiscal costs of developrnent, help encourage urban in-fill and dscourage sprawl, and allow us to preserde cherished.areas we may not want to develop. Better coordnation locally and regionally vAll also make it easier to plan for the long-tertn, increase atizan patticipation and enhance our sense of community. 4) We need to eMand the omortuni6es - such as better jobs, education, housing and healtfi cara - that result from arowth, and help Coloradans take advantace of those ooaortunities. Economic developrnent can and should bring many benefits to Colorado. Clearly, affordable housing, imprdved education, better health and expanded job choices ought to be among the measurable results of grovuth in Colorado. Just as clearly, growfh should generate increased cultural and recreatiaial opportunities for Colorado citizens. To ths extent possible, smart growth must strengthen the identity of Colorado's civerse neighborhoods, communibes arzd regions. 41Ve must erripower local govemments to attract and help create °good' growth, and we must help Colorado residents - includng low and moder-ate income residents - rsceive the benefits resutting from growth. 5) We need to brovide the structures so that we can effectivelv make the decisions that need to be made within each communitv, reqion and the state. We must madce decisions as Iocally as it is possible for them to be effective. Therefore, we need to idenGfy mone ways to wpport rBgional and lacal priorities rvhile simultarxously assuring a positive response to the crucial statewide issues of air qaality, transporta6on, teleconrnunications, and water cuafiry. We nsed to foster collabaative and supportive rela6onships at every level of decisfon-making, by making govemmental sUuctures more flexible, reducing institutional barriers to cooperation arsd input, crgating mor+e opporninities for atizens to be involved, culGvating partnerships beivueen different govemments and the private and non-profit sectors, empowering grass-roots activism, and taking into account overiapping areas of commencial or ecological interests. 6) We must con6nuouslv reform our tax, revenue and regulatory frameworC. Without creating an unpredctable regulatory environment, we must constantly rethink our tax and reguiatcxy swcture. Fees, licenses, pe?mits, regulations such as zoning, taxes and tax revenue, should erxburage and empowrer - not impede - state, regional and local efforts to provide services, as well as manage resources and plan for infrasUucture, telecommunications and land use. We also must encourage non-regulatory approaches such as collaborative decisiorxnaking, facilitation and negotiation to foster cooperabon and dalogue among public, private sector and community groups regarcfing grovdth initiatives. 7) We need to protect enhance and promote the value of our public lands, our open soaces, our naNral resources, our wildife, our parks, our recreational ooDortunities and our historical facilities. We must take personal and community responsibility for ensuring that grouvth suppats and facilitates the protectior? and enharicement of Colorado's public assets. They enrich our lives.

We must acknowledge the irnportance of Colorado's agriculture lands and communities to the state's economy, as well as the benefits that go beyond the primary purpose of fartns and ranches six;h as aesthetics, cultural contributions and wildife habitat The development of a sustainable agricultural economy should be given emphasis in state, regional and local growth strategies. 9) We need to orotect Colorado from pollution. The health of our atizens and au environment is vital to our high quality of life and our economic strength. Indvidual atizens, community gRxups, govemment and the private sector must collaborate to reduce and prevent pollution and protect and conserve our. natural resources, without disregardng local arcumstances or cisrespecting private property rights. 10) We need to continue to develop economicallv. INe nsed a business dimate that fasters quality jobs in stable or growing industries like telecommunications, prnmotes growth in areas that want it, and that allows us to withstand boom and bust cycles. Smart growth is good business: long-mnge planning can help strike a balarxe between Colorado's 'haves' and 'have-nots,' achieve economic dversity throughout the state and ensure a stable economy for many years into the future. 11) We must always be conscious of the nesd for sustainabiliiv. We must meet the economic, social and environmental demands of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their neads. We must also woric to mitigate the problems related to past actioru. 12) We need to foster a sustainable svstem of water mana4ement in terms of treatmenL storage and the regulation and detertnination of usaae. Water is the most important resource in Colorado, as it applies to growth and the environment We afso need to develop a conservation ethic as a state, within communi6es and as indviduals. 13) Smart vrowth must be an inclusive and coooerative pmcess. Direct atizen input at all levels of decision-making is crucial to viable growth management Education and information about all the costs and benefits of growth as well as the needs and values of dfferent communities around the state, must be available. We also must remember that the private and non-profit sectors can be very effective partners with govemment, and planning decisions should be made with as much input, support and collaboration as possible.. This is a cooperative venture, so we should share data and experiences, leam from each othws' mistakes and share in each others' successes. 14) We all must be conscious of our riqhts and resoonsibilities as indviduals. Planning dacisions always must honor and respect private property rights and the need for comperuation of ail indviduals, includng businesspeople, farmers and ranchers. At the same time, we all must take responsibility for the impacts our private actions and decisions have on other incOviduals, communities or shared resources. dd 4 e6AA TOU OF VAIL 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 303-479-21 DO FAX 303-479-2157 VAOL POLICE DEPAF3TnlIENT NEWS RELEASE Date of Release: May 11, 1995 .

Meadow Dr. _ Property Sto9en: Three 65 pound tanks filled vuith nitrous oxide. The cylindrical tanks are dark blue in color. IVitrous oxide is more commonly known as laughing gas. Synops'ss of Eden4s: On April 26, the Vail Police Department responded to Vail Valley Medical Center regarding a theft. The Vail Police Department was advised that unknown individual(s) removed three 65 pound tanks of nitrous oxide from the hospital between April 12 and April 19. Nitrous oxide is more commonly known as laughing gas and can be a health hazard. , According to reference materials on file with the Vail Fire Department, nitrous oxide delivered to the hospital will be colortess and have a slightly svueet taste and odor. Inhalation of high concen.trations of nitrous oxide will inhibit an adequate supply of oxygen to the lungs which will cause dizziness, deeper breathing due to air hunger, possible nausea and eventual unconsciousness. Overexposure to nitrous oxide is highly toxic and can be fatal. The gas is non combustible, but does support combustion since they are oxidizers.

Re: SPR0~~ ~~DATE BY T@iE !lASL POL9CE DEPAI3TIIAENT V1/ith the advent of spring, children, pedestrians and bicyclists are becoming more prevalent upon our bike paths and roadvuays. Therefore, the Vail Police Department reminds citizens and guests to help make our community a safer place by obeying the rules of the road and by paying particular attention to the posted speed limits upon our roadways. ' The Vail Police Department receives numerous complaints from citizens and guests regarding speeding cars in various neighborhoods throughout the Town of Vail. In an effort to respond to these complaints, the department will be initiating a program of education and active speed limit enforcement throughout the town. In 1994 the Police Department purchased a"SMART' radar trailer unit. The SNIART radar encourages voluntary speed limit compliance by providing drivers with immediate information of the posted speed limit in the area and the speed at which the vehicle is traveling. Through use of the SMART unit, the department is able to identify peak usage times and voluntary compliance levels with the posted speed limit. This information is used to determine if a more active speed limit enforcement approach is needed in a particular area. As a result of this research, the department will undergo active speed limit enforcement effective immediately in the following locations: Vl/est Gore Creek Drive; Forest Road; Chamonix Lane; Alpine Drive; Frontage Roads; and Bighorn Road. Peak enforcement may occur daily during the following times: 7 to 9 a.m.; 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.; and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. V1/ith a heightened sense of awareness and voluntary compliance, the Vail Police Department is attempting to make the roadways of Vail as safe as possible for citizens and guests. # # # - ~l r y,~ _ r~ ~ ~l ~ • .C..~: • .~x: ' = a[.ii t• COtTNTY , ° ~:r(.`:•~ t rl sv.+l R[JRAL RESORT REGIQN SYMPOSIUNi FaLLOW[JP The RRR is moving forward, from the issues you identified at the symposium, the RRR Steering Committee has formed 3 action groups to address housing, human services and resource restructuring.

Scenic values and quality of life are threatened, as are eco-systems that have no boundary between private and public land. Workers, tourism and ski area operators, public aQencies, environmentalists, second-home owners and develapers are often unable to resolve their differences. _ Real estate development, tourism and job creation are frequently 'perceived to be - at odds with environmental protection. Battling discord, mountain resort communities typically lack a common land use ethic to shape their future. Often, too, they lack the plannin= or collaborative skills to deal with rapid growth and development. To address these issues, The Pinchot Institute, the U.S. Forest Service-and the New York Times.Company's Snow Country Mac ,azine have created a major conference, June 7-10 at the modern Keystone Conference Center, just below the ' Continental Divide and a short cirive west from Denver.

Precipitation, temperature, soil moistvrp antl antecedent s8rearnfiow data as~e combinedwith . snowpaclc data to prepare runoff #orecasts:::Streamflow foreeasts are"coordinated by BVatural Resources Conservation Service;and IVational Weather Service hydr.ologists. This report. presents a comprehensive_picture of vvater supply conditions for areas dependent upon surtace .arunoff. It includes selected streamf6ow forecasts, summarized snowpack and precipitation data, . reservoir storage data, ancf narratives describing current conditions. Snowpack data are obtained by using a combination of manual afid automatec! SNOTEL measurement anethocfs. Manual. readings of snow depth and water equivalent are taken'at locations called snow courses on a monttoly or serni-rnonthly schedule during the wintei: In addition, snow water equivalent, precupitation,and temperature are iiionitored on a daily basis - and transmitted via meteor burst telernetry to central data collection facili4ies. Both monthly and daily data are used to project snowmelt runoff. Forecast uncertainty originates from two sources: (1) uncertainty of future hydrologic and climatic condit6ons, and (2) error in the forecasting procedure. To express the uncertainty in the most probable forecast, four additionai forecasts are provided. The actual streamftow can tie expected to exceed the most probable forecast 50% of the t6rme. Similarly, the actual streamflow volume can be expected to exceed the 90% forecast volume 90% of the tirne. The same is true for the 70%, 300/o, and 10% forecasts. GeneraBly, the 90% and 70% forecasts reflect drier than normal hydrologic and climatic conditions; the 30% and 10% forecasts reflect wetter than normal conditions. As the forecast season progresses, a greater portion of the futuPe hydrologic and climatic uncertainty will become known and the additional forecasts will move closer to the most probable forecast.

As a result, soil moisture has improved considerably at lower elevations, while the mountain snowpack has reached its highest percentage of the year. The additional moisture has improved the water supply outlook across the state. The majority of Colorado's streams and rivers are expected to produce near average to above average streamflows. These forecasts, coupled with good to excellent reservoir storage and good soil moisture,present the state with an excellent picture for summer water availability. What started out as a year with concerns about possible water shortages has developed into an optimistic outlook-thanks to abundant spring precipitation. SnowpaCk liRay.1 snow surveys confirm what many Coloradoans probably expected. Substantial increases were seen in the percentages in all basins of the state. April's storms increased the basinwide percentages by 18% in the North Platte Basin, to as much as 66% in the Arkansas Basin. As a result, the current percents of average range from 100% in the 1Vorth Platte Basin to 183% in the Arkansas Basin. The May 1 statewide snowpack has climbed to 141% of average, a considerable increase from last month's 105% of average. Basins with well above average snowpack include the Colorado at 132%; the San Juan, Animas, Dolores, and San liRiguel at 159%; the Gunnison at 161%; and the Rio Grande at 167%. The basins across northern Colorado, which have been plagued by low snowpack readings all season, will benefit the most from these wet storms. The South Platte Basin's snowpack has now increased to 122% of average, and the Yampa and White basins have increased to 120% of average. One contributing factor to these dramatic increases is that lower elevation sites, which normally experience decreases in snowpack due to melting during April, have received significant snowfall and now have extremely high percentages. This gattern is fairly consistent across most of the state. This year's April snowfall was dramatically different from a year ago, and the current statistics confirm the difference. The currenf statewide snowpack is now 160% of last year, and all basins, except the North Platte, are well ahead of last year's snowpack. Those basins which are reporting percents of last year which exceed 150% include the Gunnison, Colorado, Arkansas, Rio Grande, and the combined San Juan, Animas, Dolores, and San lUliguel. P%'eCD.p1tat10gI1 Precipitation tatals for April were impressive across nearly the entire state. Only the extreme southwestern corner of the state missed getting their average for the month. Basinwide totals exceeded 200% of average for the month in the South Platte and Arkansas basins. The Gunnsion Basin followed closely behind at 196% of average, and the Colorado, Rio Grande, and Yampa and "te basins reported nearly 170% of average totals for April. The lowest basinwide percentage occurred in the 5an Juan, Animas, Dolores, and San Miguel basins at only 88% of average for the month. April's precipitation increased the water year totals to the well above average mark across most of the state. T'hose basins now reporting water year totals that exceed 130% of average include the Gun,nison, South Platte, Arkansas, and iZio Grande. The only basin reporting a below average total for the water year is the Yampa, \1Vhite and IVorth Platte, which has accumulated 91% of its average. . Reservoir Storage Colorado's reservoir storage remains in good to excellent condition, at lOb% of average. However, the May 1 statistics show a decrease in storage of about 130,000 acre feet, as many reservoir operators adjust storage leveis in anticipation of spring runoff. Total volume in storage decreased in all basins except the South Platte, which increased by about 9,000 acre feet in April. The largest decrease was seen in the Gunnison Basin, where volumes decreased by nearly 76,000 acre feet. Basins reporting below average storage include the Colorado at 99%, the South Platte at 95%, and the lowest percentage is reported in the San Juan, Animas and Dolores basins at 85% of average. Although many reservoirs are below average, most should be able to fill this summer. StrearilflOW . As expected, the additional snowfall in April increased the forecasted runoff at all forecast points in Colorado. While only small improvements were seen in some locations, major increases are forecast in others. Forecasts increased the most along most smaller tributaries in the Rio Grande, Arkansas, and South Platte basins. Above average runoff is now forecast throughout the Gunnison, San Miguel, Dolores, Animas, San 7uan, Rio Grande and Arkansas basins. Near average flows are forecast throughout most of the South Platte, Colorado, White, and Yampa River basins. Below average runoff continues to be forecast across portions of northern Colorado. Those basins with some of the lowest forecasts include the North Platte, Laramie, Cache La Poudre, and headwater tributaries to the Colorado. For most streams along the Front Range, the additional precipitation received in April may make the difference between an extremely low runoff year and a near average year.

T'his is an increase of 39% of average since April 1. T'he additional snowpack was far less than any of the previous rnonths, but nevertheless, gt was a considerable amount for a period which normally does not significantly ancrease basinvvide accumulations. The Colorado Basin received its third consecutive month of above average precipitation. Totals for the water year are now 121 % of average. Although reservoir storage decreased by nearly 26,000 acre feet, it remains at 99% of average. Z'his is only 74% of the storage last year at this time; but the abundant snowpack should allow the reservoirs to fill to desired levels. Streamflow forecasts vary widely across the basin. The lowest forecasts occur throughout the smaller upstream tributaries, where flows are expected to be 80% to ' 85% of aderage. T'he outlook improves considerably in the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Riwer basins which cari expect more than 130% of average volumes. ~ - UPPER COLORADO RIVER BASIN - ~ Streamflow Forecasts - May 1, 1995 Drier Future Conditions Idetter Forecast Point Forecast Chance Of Ettceeding .
