Vail Valley Drive, Parcel E Vail Valley 7th Filing.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve or disapprove Ordinance No. 10,
Series of 1995 on first reading.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On April 4, the Town Council unanimously
approved changing the Vail Land Use Plan designation for this property from
"Open Space" to "Public Semi Public". This zone change request is the second
step, in a three-step process, tha4 could enable the District to apply for a.
conditional use permi4 to remodel the facility. This maimenance facility is currently
a legal non conforming use on property that is zoned iVatural Area Preservation
(NAP). The use of the site is non consistent with the zoning (the only permitted
use in NAP is nature preserve) and has existed on the site since 1966. The site
is used for storage of fuel, equipment, and various supplies used to maintain the
gotf course. If this amendment to the Land Use Plan is approved, the Town will
consider rezoning these properties, along uvith others, to further protect open
space and address conflicts between zoning and actual land use. On May 8, 1995
the Planning and Environmental Commission unanimously recommended that the
Tovun Council approve this zoning change.

Office of the Vail Town Clerk ~

Vail, Co. 81657
To whom it may concern:
My name is Joseph Palaszynski and I've been a resident of the Town of Vai 1 for
three years, residing at 1770 Alpine Drive Apt # 3. I have been a registered voter sinGe
moving to VaiL In my opinion, voting is the essence of being an American. I have, and
will, vote in any election held having Local, State andfor Federal importance.
I was born on February 12, 1970 and feet that being 25, I can very well represent
the vast majority of Vail's bar patrons who are also approximately the same age.
I work as an inside salesman at Northstar Lumber in Eagle-Vail. My supervisors
will have no problem letting me attend the monthly meetings. My joh enables me to
have a great deal of contact with the public, which I think can be very benefiGial to the
task at hand. The position offered has great public significance, especially when you're
living in a town that thrives on image, as Vail does. This is a very importaint position,
and one that cannot be taken lightly. I've been looking to be involved in the community
because I love Vai] and I am proud to call it my home.
I graduated with an Associates degree from the State University of New York at
Canton. In college I held the offices of President, Vice President, and Secretary for my
Praternity, Zeta Alpha Phi. Having been President and Vice President my duties also
included sitting on the Student Council Review Board when liquor rules were violated by
the other Fraternities and Sororities. Holding those offices also enabled me to be on the
other side, representing the Fraternity for our own violations. I l:now that the Town of
Vail is not a college or university and our local bars are not Fraternities or Sororities, but
the past experiences of sitting on a panel of that nature has given me an idea of the frame
of mind needed to correctly represent the Local Licensing Authority for the Town of
Vail.
I am very interested in this position and would be honored to be even considered
for this prestigious public appointment. Please consider this letter of interest because I.
want to make a difference in this great community I live in. If you have any questions
please call me at home: 476-5102, or at work from 8 a.in to 5 pm: 949-5250

Dear Council Members:
As a current member of the Local Licensing Authoriry for the Town of Vail, whose
term has expired, I am writing to inform you of my intent to reapply for another term.
In my past experiences on the board, I feel I have been an integral part of helping
make correct decisions regarding the distribution of alcohol within the Town of Vail.
When reviewing the options for possible board members, I hope that diversity of
experiences and walks of life are considered. My personal experience in the liquor
service industry allows me to employ current and common sense knowledge to issues
that are brought before the board. It should not be a negative that I am currently
working within the liquor service industry, rather a positive. There is a way the world
is supposed to work and then there is the way the world really works. With my
hands-on experience I have an opportuniry to lend to the decision making process,
"the way the world works" along with the understanding of how the world is supposed
to work. I enjoy being able to give something back to the communiry I have called
home for the past 12 years. I view this position as a non-political, but essential part of
maintaining the lifestyle desired by its citizens.
Thank you for considering me as a potential member of the Local Licensing
Authoriry for the Town of Vail. I look forward to interviewing with you on June 6, 1995.
Sincerely
.
.

TO: Planning and Enviconmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: May 22, 1994
RE: A request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the installation of an Automatic
Teller Machine to be located at the One Vail Place Building, located at 244 Wall
Street, a part of Block 5C, Vail Village First Filing.
Applicant: First Bank of Vail/Blanche C. Hill
Planner: Jim Curnutte Va DESCRIPTI9N OF THE FiEQIIEST.
First Bank of Vail has requested Conditional Use Permit approval to allow for the installation of
an automatic teller machine (ATM) to be located at the One Vail Place Building, 244 Wall Street,
a part of Block 5C, Vail Village First Filing. Staff has determined that an automatic teller machine
falls under the category of "Banks and Financial Institutions." This type of use is subject to PEC
Conditional Use Permit review and approval prior to being located on the "first floor or street
level" within the Commercial Core I(CCI) zone district. Banks and Financial Institutions are
permitted uses on all other levels of buildings within the CCI zone district. The applicant is proposing to locate the proposed automatic teller machine on the eastern side of
the One Vail Place Building, immediately adjacent to Wall Street. SpecifiCally, the machine will
replace a portion of one of the southeast facing display windows of the commercial space
currently occupied by Curtin-Hill Ltd. The ATM is proposed to be operational 24-hours per day.
As shown on the attached drawings, the ATM will occupy the left half of the display window. It
will be flush with the existing exterior building wall and therefore will not add any additional
commerciat square footage to the building. The stainless steel housing of the machine will be
faced with new wood paneling (not plywood, which is used now) and painted to match the
existing paneling color on the building. The existing flower planter, located directly below the
display window, will be removed to allow for convenient access to the ATM machine. This
landscaping is proposed to be replaced at other portions of the property in the form of 3 ft.
diameter wood planters and two 2 ft. diameter hanging baskets. `
The applicant has indicated that the mall pavers are currently in place under this planter,
therefore, when the planter is removed, these payers will be exposed and the street surfacing
material will be consistent with existing. The sides of the remaining flower planters on each side
of the display windowr will be finished to match the rest of the ptanter box. The applicant is
proposing to install a 1-1/2 sq. ft. white and green hanging sign directly above the machine. The
sign would match the First Bank logo. The sign would be suspended above the mall by a
hammered wrought iron bracket, attached to the building between the transom windows. Inside
the building, a portion of the display platform and the cash register counter will be modified to
allow for a new wood frame enclosure to be built around the ATM. The applicant has stated that
there will be no net loss of retail floor area as a result of the addition of the proposed automatic
teller machine.
1
.
Y
The owner, Blanche Hill, indicated that she has contacted the leaseholders in the building,
including Vail Associates (who occupy the southern portion of the building) to determine their
interest in having the ATM located within their leased space, however, none of these
leaseholders were interested. Since Mrs. Hill owns the Curtin-Hill Lid. commercial space, she is
able to place the machine within the floor area controlled by her. Additionally, the owner has
indicated that this particular display window produces a very small percentage of sales for the
business and is one of the few display windows on the building which may be reduced in size
without a detrimental effect on retail sales.
II. REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THIS REQUEST
The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by the Town of Vail Municipal
Code. In addition to the conditional use criteria, staff has included criteria from the zoning code,
the Vail Comprehensive Plan, and the Vail Village Design Considerations, as we believe this will
help the PEC in its evaluation of the request. '
A. THE TOWN OF VAIL MUNICIPAL CODE
The One Vail Place Building is located in the CCI zone district. According to Section
18.24.010 of the zoning code, the purpose of the CCI district is:
"to provide sites and to maintain the unique character of the Vail Village
commercial area, with its mixture of lodges and commercial establishments in a
predominantly pedestrian environment. The Commercial Core I district is intended
to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities appropriate to the
permitted types of buildings and uses. The district regulations in accordance with
the Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan and Design Considerations prescribe
site development standards that are intended to ensure the maintenance and
preservation of the tightly clustered arrangements of buildings fronting on
pedestrian ways and public green ways, and to ensure continuation of the building
scale and architectural qualities that distinguish the village."
Banks and Financial Institutions on the "first floor" or "street level" shall be permitted in
the CCI zone district subject to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit in accordance
with provisions of Chapter 18.60. For the PEC's reference, the Conditional Use Permit
purpose statement indicates that
"in order to provide the flexibility necessary to achieve the objectives of this title,
specified uses are permitted in certain districts subject to the granting of a
Conditional Use Permit. Because of their unusual or special characteristics,
conditional uses require review so that they may be located properly with respect
to the purposes of this title and with respect to their affects on surrounding
properties....Ihe.review.process.prescribed in.this_chapter is intended to assure
compatibiliry and harmonious development between conditional uses and
surrounding properties in the Town at large. Uses listed as conditional uses in the
various districts may be permitted subject to such conditions and limitations as the
Town may prescribe to insure that the location and operation of the conditional
uses will be in accordance with the development objectives of the Town and will
not be detrimental to other uses or properties. Where conditions cannot be
devised, to achieve these objectives, applications for conditional use permit.shall
be denied.°
.2
, .
B. !/AOL COMPREHEiVSIVE ~LAii9
Several elements of the Vail Comprehensive Plan indirectly address Banks and Financial
Institutions . The relevant elements and sections are listed below :
1, Vail Land Use Plan
1.1 Vail should cantinue to grow in a controlled
environment, maintaining a balance between
residential, commercial and recreational
uses to serve both the visitor and the
permanent resident.
2.1 The community should emphasize its role as
a destination resort while accommodating
. day visitors.
2.2 The ski area owner, the business community
and the town leaders should work together
closely to make existing facifities and the
town function more efficiently.
2.3 The ski area owner, the business community
and the town leaders should work together
to improve facilities for day skiers.
6.1 Services should keep pace with increased
growth.
6.3 ' Services should be adjusted to keep pace
with the needs of peaked periods.
2. Vail Village Master Plan
2.4 Objective: Encourage the development of a variety of
new commercial activities that are
compatible with existing land uses.
2.5 Objective: Encourage the continued upgrading,
renovation and maintenance of existing
lodging and commercial facilities to better
ser.ve the needs .of our guests.
30 !lail Village Design Considerations
A. Transparency
Pedestrian scale is created in many ways, but a major factor is the
openness, attractiveness, and generally public character of fhe ground
floor facade of adjacent buildings. Transparent store fronts are "people
~attracters:" Opaque or solid walls are more private, and imply "do not
approach."
3
On pedestrian oriented streets such as in the village, ground floor
commercial facades are proportionately more transparent than upper
~ floors. Upper floors are typically more residential, private and thus less
, open.
As a measure of transparency, the most characteristic and successful
ground floor facades range from 55% to 70% of the total length of the
commercial facade. Upper floors are often the converse, 30% to 45%
transparent.
B. Windows
In addition to the general degree of transparency, window details are.an
important source of pedestrian scale-giving elements.
III. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon review of Section 18.60 of the Municipal Code, the Community Development Department
recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit request to allow for an automatic teller
machine to be located at The One Vail Place Building, 244 Wall Street, a part of Block 5C, Vail
Village First Filing, based upon the following factors:
A. CONSIDERATION OF FACTORS:
1. Relationship and impact of the use on the development objectives of
the Town.
Staff believes that the proposed automatic teller machine, in the location
- proposed, has both positive and negative aspects. On the positive side,
staff believes that an automatic teller machine is very much needed in the
Village core. At this time, the nearest location of an automatic teller
machine is in the lobby of the First Bank of Vail Building, located on Vail
Rd. (directly west of the Sonnenalp Hotel). The proposed ATM is not only
convenient in relation to its location in the core, it is also immediately
adjacent to the Vail Associates ticket office, which is especially useful to
the public and Vail Associates; as well as other businesses in the Village.
Another positive aspect of this particular location for an ATM is that it is
set back approximately 10' from ihe more heavily traveled portion of the
. pedestrian mall, thereby allowing customers to wait in line to use the
machine without congesting pedestrian traffic flow to the ski mountain.
Staff is concerned, however, that during especially busy times of the ski
season the ATM, even as setback as it is, may cause congestion in
- pedestrian traffic flow.
As previously mentioned, staff is recommending approval of the proposed
ATM, however, we feel it is important to relay to the PEC our concerns
with regard to what we perceive are the negative aspects of the proposed
location.
4
q . .
The Vail Village Design Considerations strongly encourage transparent
store fronts along ground floor facades, as these "peop(e attracters" carry
out the goal of providing openness, attractiveness and a public character
to ground fioor facades. The addition of the ATM machine, in what is
currently a large display window, wili reduce the amount of transparency at
the One Vail Place Building.
An additional concern of staff has to do with the location of the proposed
ATM. Staff has conducted a site visit to the One Vail Place property and
believes that there are alternative locations within this building that would
appear to be more convenient, visible and functional. Additionally, the
western wall of the Curtin Hill Building, located directly to the east of the
One Vail Place Building, would appear to also have better opportunities for
an ATM location then the one chosen by the applicant. However, the ,
applicanYs representative has stated that the property owner has certain
constraints with regard to the location of the ATM and has explored all
options in the two buildings and has chosen the one under consideration
today as their preferred alternative.
Finally, staff is concerned that litter from discarded receipts from the ATM
may be a problem unless a trash receptical is located immediately
adjacent to the machine.
Although staff does have some reservations about the proposed ATM
location, we do not feel that the negative impacts are significant enough to
warrant the denial of this application.
2. The effect of 4he use on light and air, distribution of population,
Yransportation facilities, utilities, schools, parks and recreation
facilities, and other public facilities needs.
The proposed automatic teller machine will have little or no negative
impact on the items listed above.
3. Effect upon traffic vvith particular reference to congestion, automotive
and pedesfrian safety and convenience, 4raffic flow and confrol,
access, maneuverability, and removal of snow from the street ancl
parking areas.
The proposed automatic teller machine will have little or, no negative
impact on the items listed above.
4. Effect upon the character of the area in which the proposed use is Yo
be'locafed, including 4he scale and bulk of the proposed use in
relation to surrounding usese
As mentioned previously, staff believes that the proposed ATM has both
positive and negative effects on the character of the area in which it is
proposed to be located. However, after much consideration of the
5
:
application, staff believes that overall, the positive effects of providing an
automatic teller machine in a convenient location outweigh the negative
effects associated with ihe loss of a display window in this particular
building.
Initially, staff was concerned with the proposed loss of the flower
landscape planter, which is located directly below the display window.
- Although the amount of landscaping to be lost by this proposal is minimal
(5 sq. ft.), the property does not currently meet the minimum landscape
requirement in the .CCI zone district and any loss of existing landscaping
would be considered negatively. However, after further consideration,
' staff realized that due to the minimal width of the planter (approximately
9"), it did not serve to provide for_ year round landscaping and is only used
for flowers during the summer months. The owner has agreed to mitigate
the loss of approximately 5 sq. ft. of flower bed, by providing a
combination of flower pots and hanging baskets along the north and
northeast portions of the building (see attached site plan). Staff felt this
was an acceptable trade-off for the removal of the existing flower planter in
the focation of the proposed ATM machine.
B. FINDtNGS
The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findinas 6efore
. rc~anting a conditional use permit:
1. That the proposed location of the use is in accordance with the purposes
of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code and the purposes
of the district in which the site is located.
2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it
would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the pubtic
health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That.the proposed use would comply with each of the applicable
' provisions of the conditional use permit section of the zoning code.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommendation for this request is approval. Staff finds that the applicanYs request
complies with all of the above criteria and findings necessary for granting Conditional Use Permit
approval in the CC1 zone district, as wefl as the relevant elements of the Vail Commprehensive
plan. Staff's recommendation for appr.oval.includes.the following.conditions:
1. A reduced version of a"Streetscape Plan" trash container must be placed
next to the ATM.
2. The staff will monitor the use of the facility during next ski season and if
, congestion or trash are found to be a problem, the staff will "call up" this use for further evaluation, and possible permit revocation by the PEC.

Greg Moffet Mike Mollica
Kevin Deighan George Ruther Dalton Williams Judy Rodriguez
Greg Amsden Public Hearing 2:00 p.m.
The meeting was called to order by Bob Armour at 2:15p.m.
1. A request for a conditional use permit to allow for an automatic teller machine to be
located at 244 Wall StreeUa part of Block 5C, Vail Village First Filing. Applicant: FirstBank of Vail/Blanche C. Hill
Planner: Jim Curnutte Jim Curnutte introduced the request to the PEC and gave an overview as to what is being
proposed. He also suggested that PEC review his memo regarding the Vail Land Use Plan, Vail
Village Master Plan and the Vail Village Design Considerations. He identified that staff believed
there were both positive and negative aspects of the proposed ATM. Jim stated that the loss of
. a display window in the location of the ATM was the most negative aspect with regard to the
application. Jim stated that he has questioned the applicant.about the proposed ATM location
and asked if more appropriate locations were considered.
Jim Curnutte stated that staff has recommended approval with two conditions. ,
1. A reduced version of a"Streetscape Plan" trash container must be placed
next to the ATM.
2. The staff will monitor the use of the facility during next ski season and if
congestion or trash are found to be a problem, the staff will "call-up" this
use for further evaluation, and possible permit revocation by the PEC..
Bob Amour presented a question regarding the on-site landscaping. Did the entire existing
planter below the-display window need to be-removed?.
Lee Neeley, project architect, thought congregating people might stumble over the planter. He
offered the information that Frivolous Sals has 3 additional hooks for hanging planters in lieu of a
fixed planter.
Bob Amour and Lee Neeley exchanged acknowledgment that there were existing pavers if the
planter was removed.
Joe Miller with FirstBank explained how this site was chosen. He said Mrs. Hill wanted this
location and Vail Associates thought it was a good location. Joe also thought it was a good 1
d
0
bar/restaurant night location. Joe suggested setting down guidelines as to what constitutes too
much congestion.
Bob Armour agreed with Joe about setting guidelines regarding congestion.
Joe didn't think more than 10 people at a time would be in line waiting for the ATM machine.
Teak Simonett, the applicant's representative, said that the owner chose the location to attract
more shoppers into that area. , Kevin Deighan had no critical comments, but thought it important that DRB think it esthetically .
appealing.
Bob Armour asked if there was any surface to write on while doing business at the ATM
machine?
Joe Miller said no, this was a cash only machine; no deposits.
Lee Neeley suggested installing a trash receptacle under and built into the ATM machine.
Greg Moffet preferred a hopper style trash receptacle. Staff policing of the trash issue is more
of a concern to him than the overcrowding.
Teak Simonett said people drop trash on the ground, whether or not receptacles are present.
She thought policing the area for trash should be enforced. She pointed out that her employees
perform a"disney sweep" (clean up) around the buildings about 3 times a day.
Greg Amsden prefers the hopper-type trash receptacle.
Dalton Williams doesn't think crowding will be a problem, but trash will be. Dalton suggested
perhaps a fine would be the incentive to keep the area policed. Dalton also suggested that this
be a call-up situation, should trash or congestion be a problem in the future.
Henry Pratt stated that he appreciated the clear drawings enclosed with the memo.
Bob Armour wanted to see the trash receptacle enclosed within the ATM machine.
Jim Curnutte suggested a slot receptacle or doors that open into the machine.
Lee Neeley said there is enough room in the wall for a waist high receptacle. Dalton VNilliams suggested programing the machine so that people had to press "yes" on the
ATM menu if a receipt is needed. Everyone agreed that ihis was a very good idea.
Bob Armour asked if a hanging sign was necessary to indicate the location of the machine.
Lee Neeley suggested a hanging sign would add more visibility to this location.
Mike Mollica was concerned about congestion in the area. He felt that 6-7 people would be foo
many; perhaps 3-4 might be ok.
Jim Curnutte suggested a call-up if too many people congregate at the machine. Jim did noY feel
a revocation of the permit was the right method to deal with the congestion issue unless there
wrere major problems. .
2
`
Kevin Deighan suggested contacting the alcohol control board and threaten to have their alcohoi ~
license suspended.
Jim Curnutte said George Ruther had addressed this issue with the Daily Grind and the Daily Grind was proceeding through the process to obtain the Conditional Use Permit. Jim also said
staff informs people of their errors, but does give them time to get the error corrected.
Bob Armour felt the Daily Grind was quite aware of the process, but was intentionally abusing the
conditional use permit. .
Mike Mollica requested an update on where the Daily Grind was in their applicaiion process.
George Ruther stated that they came back with an amended site plan, however, it was not
submitted in time for this meeting.
Bob Armour was angrythat there was no monitoring of liquor served on the deck.
Mike Mollica said it was our responsibility to report any liquor violation to the Liquor Board.
Dalton Williams agreed with Bob Armour. He doesn't see any improvement with any of the plans
they've brought before board. He also wants a cease and desist letter.
Greg Amsdem felt that the Daily Grind clearly tried to modify their plans for the Board's approval,
however, he doesn't want to prolong this item. ,
Greg Moffett said this was not the first time the issue has been tabled.

Greg Amsdem made a motion to table item 3 one last time. It was seconded by Bob Armour.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development
DA'fE: AAarch 27, 1995
SUBJEC'T: A request for a zone change from the Natural Area Preservation District to
the General Use District for the Vail Golf Course AAaintenance Facility
located at 1278 Vail Valley Drive/ Parcel E, Vail Vittage 7th Filing.
Applicanp• Vail Rec,raation District
Staff` Russell Forrest
Do PNTRODUC7@ORI
The Vail Recreafion District is requesting that the zoning designation for fhe Golf
Course Maintenance facility be changed from the fVatural Area F'reservation District Yo
the General Use DistricY. This is the second step, in a three-step process, that could
enable the District to apply fior a conditional use permiY to remodel the facility. This
maintenance facility is currenYly a legal non-conforming use on property that is zoned
Natural Area Preservation (NAP). The use of the site is not consistenY with the zoning
(the only permitted use in NAP is nature preserve) and has existed on the sifie since
1966. The site is used for the storage of fue1, equipment, and various supplies used to
maintain the golf course. The maintenance operation includes 25 seasonal and part-
time employees. The reason for this request includes the following:
1) VRD would like to make improvements to the existing building and
landscaping.
2) Existing underground storage tanks need to be replaced with above
- ground storage tanks because of new Environmental Protection ,4gency
and State regulations.
3) VRD wants to install a wash water recycling system to reuse water used
in cleaning equipment. -
The parcel is approximately 2.2 acres (95,832 sq. ft.) and encompasses a portion of the
golf course, Vail Valley Dride, and the existing golf course maintenance facility (See
attachment 9). The existing site coverage on fhe property is approximatety 4,538
square feet or nearly 5%. There is also a red avalanche hazard area on the south
portion of the property and a blue avalanche hazard directly south of the existing
building (See attachment 2). The Town of Vail owns the property, which was recently
,
acquired from the Forest Senrice in 1994. As part of the open space zoning changes
that Town staff is working on, this site was identified as needing to be rezoned to
General Use, which would allow for a maintenance facility as a conditional use.
This application will focus only on the criteria for changing the zoning on the site. If the
proposed zoning change is approved, then the.VRD could then apply for a conditional
use permit. In the General Use District, the PEC is given the responsibility of
determining the development standards for the property. This will be done as a third
step, as a conditional use permit which would consider site and landscape design
issues. Any improvements to the exterior of the facility, other than maintenance, would
require a conditional use permit that would involve determining the development
standards (listed below) for the site.
1111. EXPLANATION OF ZOIdI1dG CATEGORIES
The VRD is pro~~;;;r;y L., %A lange the zonirg from Natural Area Presen?ation to General
Use. The property's zoning identifies the uses permitted by right, and the conditional
uses. Attachment 3 identifies the permitted and conditional uses for each District. The
following is a brief description of the NAP and GU districts:
Natural Area Preservation District: This district is intended to protect sensitive
natural areas such as wetlands, riparian areas, wildlife habitat, and high hazard
areas. The only permitted use in. this district is nature preserve. Trails are
allowed as a conditional use. This is the most restrictive zone district in the
Town of Vail. General Use District: This district is intended to provide sites for public and
quasi-public uses. The general use district is intended to ensure that public
buildings and grounds and certain types of quasi-publie uses permitted in the
district are appropriately located and designed to meet the needs of residents
and visitors to Vail. The permitted uses include passive outdoor recreation and
pedestrian/bike paths. There are a wide variety of conditional uses for this
district,(e.g., hospitals, schools, maintenance facilities, parking structure). Since
there is such a variety of uses possible in the district, the PEC must determine
the development standards for each property zoned General Use. These
standards include:
A. Lot area and site dimensions;
B. Setbacks;
C. Building height;
D. Density control;
E. Site coverage;
F. Landscaping and site development; and
G. Parking and loading.
The Town code (18.36.050) states that development standards shall be
°
proposed by the applicant as part of a conditionaf use permit application. Site
specific development standards shall be determined by the Planning and
Environmental Commission during the review of the conditional use request.
oaee ~ ~ONtNG CHaNGE•
51) Os the existing zoning suiteble with the existing land use on the site and
adgacen4 Band uses?
The existing zoning is wo4 suitable for the existing site. The maintenance facility has
been located on the site since 9966. This property was annexed into the Town with a
number of other properties in 1982. These properties were Yhen zoned Greenbelt
. Natural Open Space (now cafled Natural Area Preservation). Staff believes Yhat a
maintenance facility is clearly not consistent with the purpose statement, permitted
uses, or conditional uses ofi the Natural Area Preservation District. The Golf Course
Maintenance Facility, as indicated by its name, provides for the maintenance of the
surrounding golf course. Due to its nature, this facility needs to be located in close
proximity to the golf course. If the facility is adequately designed, maintained and
screened, it should not negatively impact adjacent home owners.
2) OS the aB1'DendG~ent pPeVent9ng a c011\i@f19ent9 workable relationship wittt
8and uses consisteu~t wBth muraicipa8 objecteves?
The amendmenY does not prevent a convenient workable relationship with'land uses
consistent with municipal objectives. This is a legal non-conforming use which, in
staff's opinion, is important to maintain in this general area. improving summer
recreation and maintaining structures and facilities in good vuorking order are both
municipat.objectives stated in the Town of Vail Land Use Plan (on page 6).
3) Does the Pezoniwg prov6de for the growth of an orderly, viable cornrnunlty9
'fhis project will not negatively-or positively affect corrimuniYy growth. The rezoning will
allow the maintenance facility to make needed improvements to improve operations,
facility aesfhetics,.and to protect the environment.
'fhe Town has historically requested ihat redevelopment proposals involving a Special
Development District or the General Use District provide employee housing as a part of
the plan. Providing housing is a major goal of the Town in maintaining a viable
community. Staffi would ask that one Type 3 EHU be considered for the redevelopment
at the time a conditional use permit is applied for by the applicant.
4) 0s the change cons6s4en4 w04h the Land Use Plan?
This proposed amendment would be in concert with the Land Use Plan's goals. A goal
of the Land Use Plan (on page 6) is to protect the quality of the environment. A major
. reason fior the VRD's request is Yo make improvements to its fiuel storage which will
t
protect water quality and prevent soil contamination. The VRD aiso would like to create
a wash facility for vehicles and equipment that would recycle used water.
Another goal of the Plan states: "The quality of developmen# should be maintained and
upgraded whenever possible." Currently the VRD can only perform basic maintenance
on its' existing facility (as a nonconforming use) but cannot make significant
improvements. Also, several goals state that the Town should improve summer
recreational opportunities. The Golf Course maintenance facility is a critical element in
the operation of the Vail Golf Course which is a valuable recreational draw to the
community in the summer.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATIOId: Staff recommends that the zoning be changed for the Vail Golf Course maintenance
facility, from Natural Area Preservation to General Use. The Generaf Use zone district
would be consis?;.ILII tiie use of the site and allow the VRD to makE needed
improvements to the site, which would allow them to improve the aesthetics of the
facility and protect the environment through improved containment of fuel. To amend
the zoning for this property, the PEC is requested to make a recommendation to the
Town Council. The Council will then review the ordinance which would amend the zoning designation for this property.

ve;, v$ncy Dnve. . possible soil contamination from. underground tank leakage, a large reducfion

and possible run off from the wash water drain pi4, and improved landscape
from the addition of trees and shrubs. The only foreseeable negative impac4
would be caused by construction taking place in a residential neighborhood
from September 1995 until PVlarch 1996.

TO: Planning and EnvironmenYal Commission
FROAA: CommuniYy Development Department
DATE: RNay 6, 1995
SUBJECT: A request Yo change the Vail Land Use Plan fior 17 parcels of properfy throughout
. the Town of Vail (see Attachment #1, located at the end of 4his memorandum for
legal descriptions) -from their current Land Use Plan designations to the Open
Space and Public/Semi-Public designations.
Applicant: Town of Vail Planners: Jim Curnu4te and Russ ForresY
Oa 91YTR DUC7'IC)N AND DIESCRIPTIOFI OF TFiE PROPOSED LAND tJSE PL4N
ANIENDMENTS
The Community Development Department is proposing to change the Vail Land Use Plan
. , designations of 17 properYies throughout the Town of Vail (see ,4Ytachment #1). The reason for
proposing the changes is to address inconsistencies between the actual use of these parcels
and their current designation on the Land Use Plan map. Of the 17 properties identified by sYaff
as being in need of amendment, 10 are currently designated Low Density Residential (LDR), four
are designated Medium Density Residential (MDR), one property has a designation of both
Resort Accommodations and Senrice (RAS) and Transition Area (TA), one property has a designation of Transition Area (TA), and one property has a designation of Tourist Commercial
(TC). The staff is proposing to change the Land Use Plan designations of all of these
properties, wiYh the exception of one (the Vail Interfaith Chapel property), to the Open Space
(OS) designation.. The Vail Interfaith Chapel property is proposed to receive the Land Use Plan
designation of Public/Semi-Public (PSP). The Land Use Plan defines the seven land use
categories being discussed in Yhis memorandum as follows:
Low Density Residential (LDR) - this category includes single family detached homes and
two family dwelling units. Density of development within this category would typically not
exceed three struc4ures per buildable acre. ,41so within this category would be private
recreation facilities such as tennis courts, swimming pools and clubhouses for the use of
residents in the area. Institutional/public uses permitted would include churches, fire
stations and par6cs and open space related facilities.
Medium Densitv Residential (AADR) - the medium density residential category includes
housing which would typically be designed as attached uni4s with common walls.
Densities in Yhis category wrould range from three to fourteen dwelling units per buildable
acre. Additional types of uses in Yhis category would include private recreation facilities,
private parking facilities and institutional/public uses such as parks and open space,
churches and fire stations. °
Resort Accommoda4ions and Servic RA
accommodaYing the overnight and short ter~m v siYorr o~Yhincludes e a eaS Prlmary uses nc ude
hotels, lodges, service stations and parking structures (vuith densities up to tvuenty-five
dvuelling units or fifty accommodation units per buildable acre). These areas are oriented
toward vehicular access from I-70, with other support commercial and business services
included. Atso allowed in this category, would be institutional uses and various municipal
uses. Transition Area jTA1- the transition area designation applies to the area between
Lionshead and the Vail Village. "fhe activities and site design of this area is aimed at
encouraging pedestrian flow through the area and strengthening the connection between
the two commercial cores. Appropriate activities include hotets, lodging and other tourist
oriented residential units, ancillary retail and restaurant uses, museums,_areas of public
art, nature exhibits, gardens, pedestrian plazas, and oYher types of civic and culturally
orientated uses, and the adjacent properties to the north. This designation would include
the right-of-way of West Meadow Drive and the adjacent properties to the north.
Tourist Commercial (TCl - the tourist commercial designation is aimed at preserving
areas to accommodate commercial activities oriented toward the visitor to the area.
Activities which woutd be appropriate to this area include todges, retail businesses and
offices, restaurants and personal service establishments. A high density of development
is suitable for the area, with the emphasis on the pedestrian. Vehicular access would be
limited to emergency and service requirements.
Open Soace (OS) - passive recreation areas such as greenbelts, stream corridors and
drainageways are the types of areas in this category. Hillsides which were classified as
undevelopable due to high hazzards and slopes over 40% are also included within this
area. These hillside areas would still be allowed types of development permitted by
existing zoning, such as one unit per 35 acres, for areas in agricultural zoning. Also,
permitted in this area would be institutional/public uses.
Public/Semi-Public (PSPI - the public and semi-public category includes schools, post
office, water and sewer se.rvice and storage facilities, cemeteries, municipal facilities, and
other public institutions, which are located throughout the communiry to serve the needs
of residents.
The process being discussed at today's meeting does not involve the actual rezonina of any properties within the Town of Vail. Rather, staff wishes to focus the discussion on the Land Use
Plan designation chan,ges of the 17 properties identified on Attachment #1, and shown on the
accompanying maps. Staff believes that the current Land Use Plan designation of these
properties is not consistent witM the goals and policies of the Town, their actual use, and/or their
existing ioning, and are therefore requesting approval of the changes indicated in the right hand
column of Attachment #1. Staff requests that the PEC discuss the proposed Land Use Plan changes and make a
recommendation regarding this application to the Town Council for their consideration at a
regular evening meeting, (currently scheduled for May 16, 1995). Upon approval of a resolution
authorizing the Land Use Plan changes, staff will immediately schedule a worksession with the
PEC to discuss the proposed zone chan9es of approximately 60 properties throughout Town.
Thirteen of the 17 properties listed on Attachment #1 are owned by the Town of Vail. One of the
properties is owned by the Vail Religious Foundation and the remaining three are owned by Vail
Associates, Inc. Staff has received verbal authorization to proceed with the proposed Land Use
Plan changes from these property owners.

oue MACKGROUND
On August 22, 1994, staff received approval to amend the text of Chapter 18.38, Greenbeit and
iVatural Open Space District (GNOS) and Chapter 18.36, Public Use District (PUD), of the Vail
Municipal Code, and to create a new Chapter 18.33, Outdoor Recreation District (OR). The text
amendments to Yhe GRIOS and PUD zone districts, and the creation of the new OR zone district
were the iir step in atwo step process intended to insure that the uses allowed in these zone
districts are consistent with their purpose sYatements, and Yhat properties throughout Town,
especially those with open space characteristics, are located in the appropriate zone district. An
initial revieuu revealed Yhat approximately 60 properties (mostly Town owned properties) were in
need of rezoning.
It was always intended that immediately following the adoption of the above mentioned text
amendments, staff would analyze numerous properties throughout Town to determine whether or
not the characteris4ics of each warrant their rezoning into, or out of, the three zone districts
previously mentioned. Wowever, in conducting a detailed analysis of these properties, it was
discovered that many ofi the rezonings contemplated by staff would not comply with the currenY
Land Use Plan designations of the properties. It therefore became necessary to propose Land
Use Plan designa4ion changes on approximately 17 of the 60 properties being researched prior to
proceeding uvith the aforementioned rezonings.
As indicated on the aYtached chart, all of the 17 properties to be discussed today have Land Use
Plan designations that would allowr for varying degrees of residential development. Although
rnany of these properties could not be developed due to lack of access, extreme slopes, red
hazard avalanche, etc., some of Yhem (approximately 10) are readily developable. Staff was
concerned abou4 proceeding with a process Yo apply more restrictive Land Use Plan designations
to these proper4ies withouY prior Town Council authorization. Therefore, on April 91, 1995 and
April 18, 1995 worksessions were held with'the Town Council Yo discuss whether or not some of
the praperties on the list at that time, should be removed. The Town Council, after conducting
site visits to the proper4ies, removed tiaro properties, but kept the remainder on the list for PEC
review and recommendation.
o9la CRITERIA TO BE USED 9N ~VA~~~~tur THte PRa~EMAL
Page 61 of the Vail Land Use Plan identi9ies the amendrnent process which would be used to
change the Plan, and accompanying map. The Plan states that the amendmenY process shall be
used to insure the Plan's effectiveness, with. periodic updates to reflect currenY thinking and
changing market condi4ions. The process includes amendments which may be initiated in any of
the following three ways:
A. By the Community Development Department
B. By the PEC or Town Council
C. By the private sector
Proposed changes by any ofi the three above mentioned applicanYs requires demonstration as Yo
how coatd'stlons have ch~~ged sonce the Plan was adopted, how the Plan as in erroP, jLr how
the addatimn, delegion oP change 40 the PIan iS en ConCett with the Plan an general.
3
The Vail Land Use•Pian points out that the boundaries of the various land use categories
established on the plan map are general in nature and were not determined based on parcel-by- ,
parcel property boundaries. The Land Use Plan also points out that the constraint maps adopted
by the Town, which indicate geologic hazards, snow avalanche and floodplains, should also be
utilized in conjunction with the Vail Land Use Plan during the review of any development
proposal.
Staff has reviewed the 17 properties proposed for Land Use Plan designation changes and
compared them.to the above listed criteria.. We have grouped many of the proRerties into the
same category, upon determining that they have similar features as compared to the Land Use
Plan amendment criteria. The following list demonstrates how each of the properties meet the
criteria necessary for changing their current Land Use Plan designations:
1. How have conditions chanaed since the Plan was adoRted? Staff believes that with
regard to the following property, conditions have changed since the Plan was originally
adopted:
Reference #9.' The Land Use Plan designation of this property is Low Density
Residential. Staff believes that this was the correct designation of the property (at the
time that it was placed on the entire neighborhood) due to the fact that Lot 20A was a
developable lot. Since that time however, Lot 20A has been donated to the Town of Vail
for the purpose of preserving it as permanent open space. It is staff's intention to change
the Land Use Plan designation of this property to Open Space and then down zone the
property from Primary/Secondary Residential to an open space zoning designation.
Therefore, staff believes that conditions have changed since the original Land Use Ptan
designation of the lot was made.
2. How is the plan in error? - Staff believes that the following properties have current Land
Use Plan designations which were adopted in error, when considering the uses and/or
characteristics of a specific property that existed at the time each received iYs Land Use
Plan designation:
Reference #1. This tract of tand was recently acquired from Consolidated Oil and Gas
and is located in a high hazard rockfall zone and a red hazard snow avalanche zone. The
property has no access from a public road. Staff believes when the Land Use Plan Map
identified the entire neighborhood as.Medium Density. Residential they did not specifically
consider the site constraints associated with this particular property, and therefore this
parcel received a residential Land Use Plan designation in error. The property is currently
zoned Agricultural and Open Space. .
Reference #2. Similar to the parcel described in Reference #1 above, this unplatted
parcel of land has no access to a public road and is located in the high hazard debris flow
and rockfall zones, as well as the red hazard snow avalanche zone. The property is
currently zoned Agricultural and Open Space. Staff believes that it was an error to give
this specific property a Land Use Plan designation of Low Density Residential.
Reference #3. This is the stream bed, and associated floodplain area, of Pitkin Creek
. located between I-70 and Bighorn Road. It is also the site of the historic Circle K Ranch
house which is currently used as a bus shelter. The property is currentiy zoned
Agriculiural and Open Space. For these reasons staff believes that it was an error to
4
I
apply the AAedium Density ResidenYial Land Use Plan designation 4o the property.
Although there is a bus s4op building located on this property, it is not a concern to staff to
change the Land Use Plan designation of the property to Open Space since "public uses'
are allowed in the Open Space land use designation.
' Reference #4. Stream TracYs B and E, Vail Village 11 th Filing, were established on the
Final Plat for the purpose of providing for the uninterrupted flow of Booth Creek Yhrough
4his subdivision. Although the Land Use Plan designation of these tracts, as uvell as the
entire neighborhood, is Low Density Residential, it is an error 4o apply a Residential Land
Use designation to these specific tracts. -
Reference #5. This property is located in a high hazard rockfall zone and is currently
zoned Agricultural and Open Space. Staff believes that due to the shape of-this property,
it was intended to provide for an open space connection befiween the large open space
tract nor4h of the subdivision (Tract A) and the Vail Mtountain School property. Tract B
does not rneet the minimum lot frontage and dimensional requirements for a developable
lot in any zone district in the Town of Vail, and also does not meet the minimum IoY size
requirement of 35 acres in the P?gricultural and Open Space Zone District. For these
reasons staifi believes that the current Land Use Plan designation of Low Densi4y
Residential is in error.
Reference #6. This property is located in a high hazard debris avalanche zone, a
medium hazard rocEcfall zone and a snow avalanche influence zone. 14 is currenYly zoned
Primary/Secondary Residential and has a Land Use Plan designation of Low Density
Residential. AlYhough it appears that the southern half of fhis property is accurately
described in the Land Use Plan, (similar Yo the residential developrnent on either side),
staff believes that the upper portion of the lot should not have a residentiat Land Use Plan
designation and 4herefore the Land Use Plan map is in error.
Reference #7. AlYhough these properties have a current Land Use Plan designation of
Low Density Residential, they are all zoned Agricultural and Open space at this time.
These parcels are located in a medium hazard rockfall zone, high hazard debris
avalanche zone and a red snow avalanche zone. Their currenY zoning designation is
Agricultural and Open Space.
Reference #8. The Vail Land Use Plan includes this property in the Medium Densiiry
, Residential designation, however, this property has always been used as the site of the
Vail Interfaith Chapel. It's current zoning is Agricultural and Open Space: Staff believes
Yhat iY was an error to apply the Niedium Density Residential land use designaYion to the
property. Staff is recommending that a designation of Public-Semi/Public is more
appropriate, given iYs existing and historical uses.
References ~s10 #11 and #12. These tracts of land were established fior the purpose ofi
protecting the floodplain and riparian zones associated with Middle Creek. It is clear 4hat
the Land Use Plan categories, within which these properties are located, were not
intended to specifically designate these tracts as being available for residential and/or
commercial development. Therefore, staff believes thaY their current Land Use Plan
designations of Resort Accommodations and Service, Transition Area, and Medium
Density ResidenYial, were adopted in error. `
5 •
Reference #13. This tract of land is located immediately north of Gore Creek and
stretches east to west throughout much of the Lionshead area. It was estabiished for the
purpose of protecting the riparian zone of Gore Creek. Staff believes that the current
l.and Use Plan designation of Tourist Commercial, which is applied to the majority of the
Lionshead area, inadvertently included Tract B. We believe that the Land Use Plan is in
error with regard to the designation of this property and recommend that it be changed to
the Open Space designation.
3. FJow is the addition deletion or chanae to the Plan in concert with the Plan in
9eneral? - The staff believes that all of the recommended changes to the Land Use Plan
designations, of the parcels identified in this memorandum, will not be detrimental to the
Plan in general since they do not appear to be reflective of their actual use and/or existing
zoning. Additionally, the proposed changes would appear to carry out the following goal
statements contained in the Vail Land Use Plan:
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance
between residential, commercial and recreational uses to serve both the visitor
and the permanent resident.
1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural resources
should be protected as the Town grows. 1.6 Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case by case
basis. Limited development may be permitted for some low intensity uses in
areas that are not highly visible from the valley floor. New projects should be
carefully controlled and developed with sensitivity to the environment.
1.7 New subdivisions should not be permitted in high geologic hazard areas.
1.10 Development of town owned lands by the Town of Vail (other than parks and open
space), may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if development is for
public use.
1.13 Vail recognizes its stream tracts as being a desirable land feature as well as its potential for public use.
2.5 The community should improve non-skier recreational options to improve year-
round tourism.
2.7 The Town of Vail should improve the existing park and open space lands while
continuing to purchase open space.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION '
Staff recommends approval of the proposed changes to the Vail Land Use Plan designations of
the 17 properties identified in this memorandum. Staff believes that with regard to some of the
properties, conditions have changed since the Plan was originally adopted. With regard.to the
remaining properties, staff believes that their Land Use Plan designations were determined in
error originally. Staff also believes that all of the proposed Land Use Plan changes
recommended in this memorandum are in concert with the Land Use Plan in general.

Re: Forest ground on the South side of Ptarmigan Road
Members of Ceuncil:
Once again we have a situation of good people doing their job, but not being
aware of previous promises. VVe have gone through this several times in the past.
1. Vail Associates. In 1968 we had a large selection of sites as we were the 14th ;
home to build in the goI# course area. lAle selected our site next to 4he forest on Vail
Associates (the sellers) verbal presentation to us that it would remain forest ground
and undeveloped. In 1976 after management changes (Mr. Peterson became the
President of Vail Associates) they tried to get the ground for development. After much
citizen input the Forest Service turned it down and said it would remain open. VVe felt
the matter vuas settled.
2. Forest service. New people were in charge and about 10 years ago the Lodge at
Vail wanted to trade for this ground along with some other parcels for development. tn
a January 12. 1984 letter Mr. Slifer, the Mayor of Vail, wrote Yhe Forest Service
protesting the development ideas and emphasizing the importance the community put
on open lands. After much input and meetings the Town of !lail said it would take
steps to insure it wrould remain open space. Once again we felt the matter was settled.
3. Town of Vail. Last winter we received a letter saying the Town of Vail was going to
repave Ptarmigan Road along with drainage improvements. No mention was made of
water and sewer changes. A few weeks ago I checked the construction drawings and
was shoclced to see the Tovun had new water and sewer taps for development both
VVest of our house and next to the avalanche area to the East where the town had
promised Mr. and Mrs. Davis that there weu!d be no development.
Since that time I understand the sewer lines and stub outs have been deleted
from the wrorkinq drawings, and I appreciate this being done. To finalize this issue
once and for all we strongly support the ground being designated and zoned open
space -preferably with a covenant to insure this.
Thank you,
~

Town Council
Town of Vail
75 S. Frontage Road
Vail, CO 81657
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the Town of Vail ("the Town") for
the year ended December 31, 1994, we considered its internal control structure in order to determine
our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not
to provide assurance on the internal control structure. However, we noted certain matters that we
are presenting for your review to strengthen the accounting and reporting controls of the Town.
The Town's internai control structure consists of policies and procedures established by management
to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial data are recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported consistent with the assertions embodied in the financial statements. In
establishing those policies and procedures, management assesses their expected benefits and related
costs. Because of the inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities may
nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any assessment of the internai control
structure to future periods is subject to the risk that policies or procedures may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Police Druq Purchase Cash Account
Due to the confidentiality required in the Police department, it maintains a bank account outside the
control structure of the finance department. We recommend the Town consider adding the bank
account to the general ledger for 1995.
Debit Card Procedures
Our review of the internal controls over the debit card transactions at the Transportation Center
revealed that there are no reconciliations made between the number of credits put on cards and the
amount of cash received. We recommend the Town investigate the feasibility of tracking the number
of credits entered onto the cards for the purpose of tightening the controls over these transactions.

We have audited the accompanying general-purpose financial statements and the combining and individual
' fund and account group financial statements of the Town of Vail, Colorado, for the year ended December
31, 1994 as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of the Town of Vail, Colorado. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
1 statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards
~ require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
overall general-purpose financial,statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
, basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the general-purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
' respects, the financial position of the Town of Vail, Colorado, as of December 31, 1994, and the results
of its operations and cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the combining and individual fund and
' account group financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of each of the individual funds and account groups of the Town of Vail, Colorado as of December
31, 1994 and the results of operations of such funds and the cash flows of individual proprietary fund types
for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
' Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general-purpose financial statements
taken as a whole and on the combining and individual fund and account group financial, statements. The
' accompanying financial information listed as supporting schedules in the table of contents is presented
for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements of the Town of
Vail, Colorado. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
general-purpose, combining and individual fund and account group financial statements and, in our opinion,
is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the financial statements of each of the respective
individual funds and account groups taken as a whole.

' Town of Vail, Colorado
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 1994
' 1. Sumenary of Significant Accounting Policies
' The financial statements of the Town of Vail (the "Town") have been prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. The
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for
, establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The more significant
of the governmenYs account policies are described below.
A. Reporting En4iQy
~ The Town was incorporated in 1972, under the provisions of Article XX of the Colorado
Constitution and Municipal Home Rule Act of 1971. The Town operates under a Council-
~ Manager form of government. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the
financial statements of the reporting entity include those of the Town (the primary government)
and its component units. The component unit discussed below is included in the Town's
reporting entity because of the significance of its operational or financial relationships with the
' Town.
Discretely PPesented Componen4 Uni4
~ The component unit column includes the financial data of the Town's component unit, the
Eagle County Recreational Authority. The financial data is reported in a separate column to
emphasize that it is legally separate from the Town. The governing body of the component
' unit is not appointed by the Town.
The Eagle County Recreational Authority, (the "Authority") was formed on October 15, 1991 to
' establish an independent governmental entiry to purchase, manage and develop a parcel of
land located in Eagle County. The primary use of the land shall be for open space and
recreation.
~ The Authority was formed by the following governmental entities:
Participation %
' Town of Vail 60% °
Town of Avon g%
Eagle County 11% ~ Arrowhead Metropolitan District 5% Beaver Creek Metropolitan District 5%
Berry Creek Metropolitan District 6.5%
~ Eagle-Vail Metropolitan District 6.5%
Each participant of the Authoriry has appointed one voting member to the Authority's Board of
Directors. All actions of the Board of Directors require majority approval by the Board of
, Directors representing two-thirds (2/3) of the interest in the Authoritjr.
The Authority assesses each participant based upon its percentage for maintenance,
operations and capital costs based upon the Authority's annual budget. Any deficiency will be
~ assessed to the participants based upon their respective participation percentage.

(Continued)
' DiscPetely PPesen4ed CoPnpoeaent Unit (cont.)
The Authority's primary transaction to date was to purchase a parcel of land from the Town for
~ $2,555,000 and enter into an installment loan agreement with the Town for 40% of the
purchase price. The loan is payable in semiannual installments with interest of 4.5% to 6.1
Annual total debt service requirements of the Authority approximate $90,000. -
' If a participant withdraws from the Authority, the member shall lose all right, title and interest in
the Authority. All contributions made to the Authority shall remain with the Authority and will
~ not be refunded to the withdrawing participant. Any withdrawing participants' participation
percentage not acquired by another participant will be acquired by the Town.
Upon the sale of the above parcel of land and any other property of the Authority, the net
~ proceeds will be distributed to the participants based upon their respective participation
percentage.
~ The financial statements of the Authority can be obtained from the Town's administration
offices.
~ 04her Enti@ies
The Town does not exercise oversight responsibility over any other entity, nor is the Town a
~ component unit of any other governmental entity.
B. Func9 Accounging
The government uses funds and account groups to report on its financial position and the
results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to
aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain government functions
~ or activities.
A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. An account
group, on the other hand, is a financial reporting device designed to provide accountability for
, certain assets and liabilities that are not recorded in the funds because they do not directly
affect net expendable available financial resources.
~ Funds are classified into three categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary. Each
category, in turn, is divided into separate "fund types."
~ Governmental funds are used to account for all or most of a government's general activities,
including the collection and disbursement of earmarked monies (special revenue funds), and
the servicing of general long-term debt (debt seniice funds).
' The General Fund is used to account for all activities of the general government not accounted
for in some other fund.
' Proprietary funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector,
where the determination of net income is necessary or useful to sound financial administration.
Goods or services from such activities can be provided either to outside parties (enterprise
' funds) or to other departments or agencies primarily within the government (internal service funds).

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Continued)
' B. Fund Accoun4ing (cont.)
Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held on behalf of outside parties. When these
~ assets are held under the terms of a formal trust agreement, as a pension trust fund, a
nonexpendable trust fund is used. The term "nonexpendable" refers to whether or not the
government is under an obligation to maintain the trust principal. Agency funds generally are
' used to account for assets that the government holds on behalf of others as their agent.
C. Basis og Accoun4ing
' The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its
measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial
, resources measurement focus. With this focus, only current assets and current liabilities
generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present
increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and
other financing uses) in net current assets.
' All proprietary funds, nonexpendable trust funds and pension trust funds are accounted for on
a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets
' 'and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance
sheet. Fund equity (i.e., net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and retained
earning components. Proprietary fund-type operating statements present increases (e.g.,
, revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by all governmental fund types, expendable
trust funds and agency funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are
~ recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when tliey become both measurable and
available). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and
"available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to
, pay liabilities of the current period. The government considers property taxes as available if
they are collected within 60 days after year end. A one-year availability period is used for
revenue recognition for all other governmental fund revenues. Expenditures are recorded
when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal and interest on general long-term debt are
~ recorded as fund liabilities when due or when amounts have been accumulated in the debt
service fund for payments to be made early in the following year.
~ Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, franchise taxes, special
assessments, licenses, interest revenue and charges for services. Sales taxes are collected
by the Town and are recognized as revenue when collected by the vendors. Fines and
~ permits revenues are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not measurable
until received in cash.
The accrual basis of accounting is utilized by proprietary fund types and nonexpendable trust
~ funds. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at
the time liabilities are incurred.
~ The government reports deferred revenue on its combined balance sheet. Deferred revenues
arise when a potential revenue does not meet both the "measurable" and "available" criteria for
recognition in the current period. In subsequent periods, when both revenue recognition
, criteria are met, or when the government has a legal claim to the resources, the liability for
deferred revenue is removed from the combined balance sheet and revenue is recognized.

(Continued)
, D. Encuenbrances
, Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for
the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable
appropriation, is nat employed by the Town because it is considered unnecessary to assure
effective budgetary control or to facilitate effective cash planning and control. _
' E. Equity Bn Pooled Cash and Investments
, Cash and investments includes amounts in demand deposits as well as investments.
Investments are stated at cost or amortized cost, except for investments in the Pension Trust
~ Fund which are reported at market value.
F. Indentory
' {nventory is valued at iower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory in
the Internal Service Fund - Heavy Equipment Fund consists of expendable supplies held for
consumption.
~ G. Advance 4o Other Fund
1 Noncurrent portions of long-term interfund loan receivables are reported as an advance and
are offset equally by a fund balance reserve account which indicates that they do not constitute
expendable available financial resources and therefore are not available for appropriation.
H. Prepaid Iteens
1
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods beyond December 31, 1994,
' are recorded as prepaid items.
1. Restricted Assegs
~ Certain proceeds of bond issues, as well as certain resources set aside for their repayment,
are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is limited by the
applicable bond covenants.
J. Fixed Assets
~ General fixed assets are not capitalized in the funds used to acquire or construct them.
Instead, capital acquisition and construction are reflected as expenditures in governmental
funds, and the related assets are reported in the general fixed assets account group. All
purchased fixed assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at an
~estimated historical cost where no historical records exist. Donated fixed assets are valued at
their estimated fair market value on the date received.
~ The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend asset lives are not capitalized in the governmental funds. Improvements in
the proprietary funds are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the
' related fixed assets, as applicable.

December 31, 1994
(Continued)
' J. Fiued Assets (cont.)
' Public domain ("infrastructure") general fixed assets consisting of roads, bridges, curbs and
gutters, streets and sidewalks, drainage systems and lighting systems are not capitalized, as
these assets are immovable and of value only to the government.
' Assets in the General Fixed Assets Account Group are not depreciated. Depreciation of
buildings, equipment and vehicles in the proprietary fund types is computed using the straight-
line method.
, K. Interfiund 7ransactions
' Quasi-external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses.
Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initial{y made
from it that are properly applicable to ariother fund, are recorded as expend itu res/expen ses in
the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expend itu res/expenses in the fund that is
' reimbursed.
All other interfund transactions, except quasi-external transactions and reimbursements, are
, reported as transfers. Nonrecurring or nonroutine permanent transfers of equity are reported
as residual equity transfers. All other interfund transfers are reported as operating transfers.
L. Compensatec8 Absences
~ Vested or accumulated vacation leave that is expected to be liquidated with expendable
available financial resources is reported as an expenditure and a fund liability of the
' governmental fund that will pay it. Vacation pay is accrued in proprietary funds and reported
as a fund liability. Amounts of vested or accumulated vacation leave that are not expected to
be liquidated with expendable available financial resources are reported in the General Long-
~ Term Debt Account Group. No expenditure is reported for these amounts. No liability is
recorded for nonvesting accumulating rights to receive sick pay benefits.
M. Long-7erm Obligations ~ Long-term debt is recognized as a liability of a governmental fund when due, or when
resources have been accumulated in the Debt Senrice Fund for payment early in the following
' year. For other long-term obligations, only that portion expected to be financed from
expendable available financial resources is reported as a fund liability of a governmental fund.
The remaining portion of such obligations is reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account
Group. Long-term liabilities expected to be financed from proprietary fund operations are
accounted for in those funds.
M. Fund Equi4y
~ Contributed capital is recorded in proprietary funds that have received capital grants or "
contributions from developers, customers or other funds. Reserves represent those portions of
' fund equity not appropriable for expenditure or legally segregated for a specific future use.
Designated fund balances represent tentative plans for future use of financial resources.

, O. MemorancBum Only - Total Columns
, Total columns on the general-purpose financial statements are captioned "memorandum only"
to indicate that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns
do not present financial position, results of operations or changes in financial position in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Neither are such data comparable to
1 a consolidation. Intertund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation of this data.
P. CoPnpaPaQiee DaQa
' Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented in the accompanying financial
statements in order to provide an understanding of changes in the governmenYs financial
~ positions and operations. However, comparative data have not been presented in all
statements because their inclusion would make certain statements unduly complex and difficult
to understand.
~ Q. DefePPed Peopeuty Taxes
All property taxes become due and payable in the year following that in which they are levied
' at which time they are recognized as revenues. Property taxes are recorded as receivable and
deferred revenue in the year they are levied.
R. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
' An annual budget and appropriation ordinance is adopted by the Town Council in accordance
with the Town's Home Rule Charter.

' The Town's investments, with the exception of the Town of Vail Employee's Pension Trust
Fund and the Deferred Compensation Plan investments, are invested primarily in government
obligations. The Pension Trust Fund and Deferred Compensation Plan investments are held in
~ U.S. government obligations, commercial stocks and bonds, and limited partnerships whose
market values fluctuate as market conditions change. The limited partnerships may invest in
derivatives.
~ GASB Technical Bulletin fVo. 94-1 defines derivatives as "contracts whose value depends on,
or derives from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, or index." At December 31,
1994, the Town held the following investments in its investment pool that may be considered
~ derivatives under this definition:
% of
~ Book Market Investment
Value Value Pool
Government National Mortgage
~ Association (GIVMA) Certificates $ 79,029 75,546 .7%
Small Business Association (SBA) Poo1s 606,491 606,491 5.0%
Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM) 322,436 322,436 3.0%
, The Town recognizes that investment risks can result from credit risk, market risk, and legal
risk. The Town seeks to minimize these risks by investing in seasoned SBA pools and ARMs
~ that are backed by the U.S. Government.
The Town's intent in investing in these instruments is to achieve long-term rates of return with
the decreased volatility of fixed rate, short-term instruments.

' The receivables of the various funds of the Town are primarily due from other governments
and the Town's component unit. Management believes that the credit risk related to the
receivables is minimal.
~ 2. Budgets
The Town follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial ~ statements.
(1) For the 1994 budget prior to August 25, the County Assessor was to have sent to the
' Town a certified assessed valuation of all taxable property within the Town's
boundaries.
,
(2) Prior to the end.of the fiscal year, the Town Manager submitted to the Town Council a
, budget and accompanying message.
(3) For the 1994 budget, prior to December 15, 1993, the Town computed and certified to
~ the County Commissioners a rate of levy that derived the necessary property taxes as
computed in the proposed budget.
(4) After a required publication of "fVotice of Proposed BudgeY" the Town adopted the
' proposed budget and an appropriating resolution which legally appropriates
expenditures for the upcoming year.
' (5) After adoption of the budget resolution, the Town may make the following changes: (a)
supplemental appropriations to the extent of revenues in excess of those estimated in
the budget; (b) emergency appropriations; and (c) reduction of appropriations for
' which originally estimated revenues are insufficient:
Taxes levied in one year are collected in the succeeding year. Thus taxes certified in 1993
were collected in 1994 and taxes certified in 1994 will be collected in 1995. Taxes are due on
' January 1st in the year of collection; howrever, they may be paid in either one installment (no
later than April 30th) or two equal installments (not later than February 28th and June 15th)
without interest or penalty. Taxes which are not paid within the prescribed time bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month until paid. Unpaid amounts and the accrued interest
thereon become delinquent on June 16th.

, A. Authorization gor Deposits and Investments
Pursuant to its charter, the Town has adopted, by ordinance, an investment policy governing
' the types of institutions and investments with which it may deposit funds and transact
business. Under this policy, the Town may invest in federally insured banks, debt obligations
of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, governmental mutual funds and
pobls, and repurchase agreements subject to policy requirements.
' The Town also accounts for the operations of the EmPloYees' Pension Plans which are
administered by select employees acting as trustees who are governed by a trust agreement.
, The trust agreement gives the trustees considerable latitude with investment alternatives. As a
result, all pension investments are considered legal under the trust agreement.
, B. Deposits and Inves4men4s '
The Town maintains a cash and investment pool in which all funds participate except the
. Deferred Compensation Plan. Each fund's position of this pool is displayed on the combined
, balance sheet as "Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments." In addition, several of the Town's
funds may include investments held separately that are restricted for various purposes.

At year end, the carrying value of the Town's deposits was $1,321,189 and the bank
t balance was $1,630,467. Of the bank balance $397,000 was covered by Federal
Depository Insurance and $1,233,467 was covered by pooled collateral held in a trust
by third-party banks in the name of the banks where the deposits are beld in
1 accordance with the Colorado Public Depository Act. The Colorado Public Deposit
Protection Act (PDPA) requires that all units of local government deposit cash in
eligible public depositories; eligibility is determined by state regulators. Amounts on
~ deposit in excess of federal insurance levels must be collateralized. The eligible
collateral is determined by the PDPA. PDPA allows the institution to create a single
collateral pool for all public funds. The pool is to be maintained by another institution
' held in trust for all the uninsured public deposits as a group. The market value of the
collateral must be at least equal to the aggregate uninsured deposits.
2. Ineestmen4s
' The Governmental Accounting Standards Board has determined three levels of credit
risk that apply to the governmenYs investments:
' (1) Insured or registered, with securities held by the Town, Employee's Pension
Trust Fund or its agent in the Town's or Employee Pension Trust Fund's name.
' (2) Uninsured or unregistered, with securities held by the counterparty's trust
department or agent in the Town's or Employee's Pension Trust Fund's name.

i E. Special Assessment Bonds (cont.)
~ The bonds are payable solely from monies to be collected by the Town from a special
assessment against assessable property in the district specifically benefited by the
improvements.
I Redemption on the bonds is at the option of the Town. However, if on any interest payment
date there exists in the Bond Funds sufficient funds derived from special assessments
exceeding six months interest on the bonds outstanding, the Town is obligated to exercise its
~ option to redeem bonds to the extent possible.
The Town is required to bill the owners who did not pay their assessments in full. Failure by
~ an owner to pay the installment.within 30 days causes the entire principal and interest to be
immediately due and payable.
The Town is required to annually certify, not sooner than the first day of October in each year,
~ such delinquent assessments to the Treasurer of Eagle County, who is required to collect in
the same manner as delinquent general taxes levied upon the property.
' Because the bonds are to be paid completely from assessments and the amount of principal
redeemed per year varies, it is impractical to determine the debt service to maturityon an
annual basis.
1 F. 92evenue Developonen4 Bonds
Pursuant to the County and Municipality Development Revenue Bond Act, the Town has
' authorized and issued various bond issues. As required by the Act, the bonds and interest
shall be payable solely from the revenues derived from the facilities and shall never constitute

date of employment or the effective date of the plans, January 1, 1983, whichever is later.
The plans provide for contributions to be made by the Town of 12.6% of regular compensation
' for the first year of employment and 17.6% thereafter. For employees hired after April 1, 1986,
the Town's contribution is 11.15% of regular compensation for the first year, and 16.15%

r 12. Pension Plans (cont.) '
Employees have the option to make voluntary contributions of 10% of their compensation. In
~ the event of continued long-term disability of an employee, the Town's disability insurance will
continue to make contributions for the employee through age 60 at the rate on the date of
disability. _
r For employees hired before July 1, 1986, vesting of the Town's contributions to the employees
is 77.5% after the first year of employment with an additional vesting of 7.5% per year through
~ the fourth year, when vesting is 100%. For employees hired after June 30, 1986, vesting of
the Town's contributions to the employees is 20% after the first year of employment with
additional vesting of 20% per year through the fifth year, when vesting is 100%. If an
~ employee dies, becomes disabled, or attains the age of 60, their entire interest in the plans
becomes vested; and normal retirement age is 60 with early retirement at age 50 and four
years of senrice.
~ In 1991, the Town established a defined contribution pension plan for seasonal employees who
work for the Town longer than 6 weeks. Seasonal employees who work for the Town less than
6 weeks are covered under Social Security only. Seasonal employees are required to
' contribute 6% of regular compensation to the plan and the Town contributes 1.5%. Seasonal
employees are 100% vested after their first contribution.
The annual pension cost is the Town's contributions less forfeitures from the prior year. The
' plans' assets at December 31, 1994 of $15,409,793 are stated at market value. All earnings,
losses, expenses and changes in the fair market value of the trust fund will be apportioned at
least annually among the participants in proportion to each participanYs current share of the
1 Trust Investment Fund. The Town has no liability for unfunded future vested employee
benefits.
The trustees and administrators of the plans are the Retirement Boards. The Retirement
~ Boards determine how the plans' assets are to be invested in adherence to an adopted
investment policy statement.
~ The total amount of the employees current year covered payroll was $7,317,725, and the
current year payroll for all employees was $7,955,239.
13. Degerred Compensation Plan
The Town offers its employees a deferired compensation plan created in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all Town employees, permits them
~ to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation plan is not
available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with
those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property, or rights are (until paid
or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property and rights of the
Town (without being restricted to the provisions of benefits under the plan), subject only to the
~ claims of the Town's general creditors. ParticipanYs rights under the plan are equal to those of
general creditors of the Town in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred
account for each participant.

~ 13. DefePeed Compensa4ion Plan (conQ.)
The Town has no liability for losses under the plan but does have the duty of due care that
~ would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The Town believes that it is unlikely that it
will use the assets to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the future.
' The total assets of the deferred compensation plan were $1,237,824 at December 31, 1994.
14. Cagegeria PBan
~ The Town offers a cafeteria compensation plan organized under IRS Section 125 that includes
the following benefits: medical disability, accident and/or term like insurance, and health
expense reimbursement. No cost to the Town is recognized as the plan is a salary reduction
~ plan. '
95. Eenployee Health Insurance Fund
~ The Town has established a"Shared Fund - Minimum Premium" health insurance plan, to
provide medical benefits to eligible employees. Premiums are determined at the beginning of
, each plan year and are charged to individual funds when paid.
The Town has established a$725,793 reserve for future claims in the event that the claims
exceed the premiums charged to other funds of the Town.
~ The maximum liability in any policy year is the total of the premium and claims incurred
charged. If the total premiums and claims incurred in a policy year to the insurer are in excess
~ of claims paid, excluding a stop loss of claims over $50,000 per person, a refund is due to the
Town. The plan establishes a maximum funding cost of $866,970 for the present number of
Town employees for the 1994 policy period.
~ 96. Defici4 Retainecl Earnings
The Enterprise Fund - Parking Structure Fund had a deficit retained earnings af December 31,
~ 1994 of $1,073,513.
97. Cornenitmen4s and Contingencies
~ A. Legal Claims
Booth Creek Local Improvement District: This District was established by the Town to finance
' the. construction of improvements within the District. Legal action has been brought by
individuals who are located within the District for the purpose of reducing the amount of the
special assessments which were levied to partially pay for the improvements. It is the Town's
~ position that its legal case is strong and it will vigorously contest this legal action.
Other matters: During the normal course of business, the Town incurs claims and other
~ assertions against it from various agencies and individuals. Management of the Town and
their legal representatives feel none of these claims or assertions, except as noted in the
preceding paragraph, are significant enough that they would materially affect the fairness of
the presentation of the financial statements at December 31, 1994.

~ B. FecBeraB Func9s
Funds received from Federal grants and programs are subject to audit and disallowance on
ineligible costs. Management of the Town feels any potential questioned or disallowed costs
. would not materially affect the faimess of the presentation of the financial statements at
December 31, 1994.
' C. ResortFees
The Town collects a resort fee from the operator of the ski lifts within the Vail Ski Area. The
' resort fees collected in the year ended December 31, 1994 by the General Fund and the
Special Revenue Fund - Capital Projects Fund was approximately $994,568 in each fund. The
resort fee.collected is 4% of lift ticket sales.
1 D. Arbitrage Reba4e
The proceeds and the interest earned on the proceeds from the 1989 and 19926 Sales Tax
I Revenue Bonds and the 1992A General Obligation Bonds are subject to the assessment of an
arbitrage penalty if certain conditions are met.
, Investment of bond resenres and bond proceeds at net interest rates in excess of the net
interest rate being paid on the bonds may cause the Town to be subject to an arbitrage
penalty on the difference between the net interest earned and net interest paid. This arbitrage
penalty would be payable to the U.S. Treasury on the five-year anniversary date of the bonds.
' There is no arbitrage liability due at December 31, 1994.
E. Construction Commitrnents
~ At December 31, 1994, the Town had approximately $138,000 of outstanding construction
commitments. ,
~ 18. Vail 12ecreation Dis4rict Rflanagemen4 Agreement
The Town on January 24, 1989 transferred management and the related revenue and
' operation costs of operations of all recreational services of the Town to the Vail Metropolitan
Recreation District (the "District"). The agreement includes a license for the District to use the
recreational facilities owned by.the Town; the District is to pay all operating costs of the
' facilities. The agreement also provides that the Town will transfer for use during the lease
term, all personal property and vehicles, and that the District is to maintain this equipment.
The Town is responsible for the debt service on the facilities. The Town agreed to contribute
to fhe District a sum of $543,243 for 1994.
~ On May 3, 1994, the voters of the Vail Recreation District (the "DistricY") approved a mill lev
Y
increase for the District to be used for operations. The Town of Vail will reduce its mill levy by
~ the same amount and will discontinue its contributions for management costs which were
$543,260 for the year ended December 31, 1994. These changes will become effective for the
year beginning January 1, 1995.

' 19. '6'aboP Amenc9men4 -Revenue ancl Spending L.imitation Aenendment
In November 1992, Colorado voters amended Article X of the Colorado Constitution by adding
' Section 20, commonly known as the Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR). TABOR contains
revenue, spending, tax and debt limitations which apply to the State of Colorado and local
governments. TABOR requires, with certain exceptions, advance voter approval for any new
1 tax, tax rate increase, mill levy above 4hat for the prior year, extension of any expiring tax, or
tax policy change directly causing a net tax revenue gain to any local govemment:
Except for refinancing bonded debt at a lower interest rate or adding new employees to
' existing pension plans, TABOR requires advance voter approval for the creation of any
multiple-fiscal year debt or other financial obligation unless adequate present cash resenres
are pledged inevocably and held for payments in all future fiscal years.
' TABOR also requires local governments to establish emergency reserves to be used for
declared emergencies only. Emergencies, as defined by TABOR, exclude economic
' conditions, revenue shortfalls, or salary or fringe benefit increases. These reseroes are
required to be 1% or more of fiscal year spending (excluding bonded debt service) for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, 2% or more for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1995 and 3% or more thereafter. The Town has reserved a portion of its December 31, 1994
~ year-end fund balance in tfie General Fund for emergencies as required under Tabor in the
amount of $500,000, which is the approximate required reserve at December 31, 1994.
' The initial base for local government spending and revenue limits is December 31, 1992 fiscal
year spending. Future spending and revenue limits are determined based on the prior year's
fiscal year spending adjusted for inflation in the prior calendar year plus annual local growth.
' Fiscal year spending is generally defined as expenditures and reserve increases with certain
exceptions. Revenue, if any, in excess of the fiscal year spending limit must be refunded in
the next fiscal year unless voters approve retention of such revenue.
' The Town's management believes it is in compliance with the financial provisions of TABOR.
However, TABOR is complex and subjeet to interpretation. Many of its provisions, including
the interpretation of how to calculate fiscal year.spending limits, will require judicial
~ interpretation.
On November 16, 1993, voters of the Town approved the collection and expenditure of all
revenues generated including reduction in debt service during 1993 and each subsequent year
~ (not including revenue generated from ad valorem property taxes) without any increase in such
tax rates and the expenditure of such revenues for debt service, municipal operations, and
capital projects, effective January 1, 1993. The remaining restrictions of the TABOR
~ Amendment apply, which are:
° Voter approval of all new taxes and tax rate increases;
° Voter approval for new or additional Town of Vail debt;
All ad valorem property tax rsstrictions remain in full force and effect;
^ IVo increase or imposition of a new real estate transfer tax; and,
All election requirements remain in effect.
~ 20. Prior Period Adjustment
~ The Internal Senrice Fund - Heavy Equipment Fund recorded a prior period adjustment during

~ Town Council
Town of Vail
Vail, Colorado
~
~ We have audited the general-purpose financial statements of Town of Vail (the "Town") as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated March 24, 1995.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government
~ Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that
we plan and pertorm the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general-purpose financial
statements are free of material misstatement.
~ In planning and performing our audit of the general-purpose financial statements of the Town for the year
ended December 31, 1994, we considered its internal control structure in order to determine our auditing
~ procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general-purpose financial statements and not
to provide assurance on the internal control structure.
The management of the Town is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure.
' In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the
expecfed benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives
of an internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance
' that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are
executed in accordance with managemenYs authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation
of general-purpose financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities may nevertheless
, occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject
to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the
effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate.

' For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal control structure policies and
procedures in the following categories:
o Budgets
' o Cash/Investments
o Revenue/Receivables
o Expend itu res/Acco u nts Payable
' o Payroll
o Property, Equipment, and Capital Expenditures
o Federal Program Expenditures
~ For all of the internal control categories listed above, we obtained an understanding of the design of
relevant policies and procedures and whether they have been placed in operation, and we assessed
control risk.
~ Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal
control structure that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute
, of Certified Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of
one or more of the internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that
errors and irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to the general-purpose financial
1 statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the
normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control
structure and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above.
, However, we noted certain matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we have
reported to the management of the Town in a separate letter dated March 24, 1995.
This report is intended for the information of the Council, management and appropriate State and Federal
~ agencies. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.

financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the Town's compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. However, the objective of our audit of the
general-purpose financial statements was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance with such
, provisions. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests indicate that, with respect to the items tested, the Town complied, in all material
respects, with the provisions referred to in the preceding paragraph. With respect to items not tested,
~ nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe the Town had not complied, in all material
respects, with those provisions.

E DENT AUDITOR S SINGLE AUDIT REPORT
ON THE INTERNAL CONTROL STRUGTURE USED

~
Town Council
' Town of Vail
Vail, Colorado
~ We have audited the general-purpose financial statements of Town of Vail (the "Town"), as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated March 24, 1995.
, We conducled our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Circular A-128, Audits of State and Local Govemments. Those standards and OMB Circular A-128
~ require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general-
purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement and about whether the Town complied with
laws and regulations, noncompliance with which would be material to a federal financial assistance
' program.
In planning and performing our audits for the year ended December 31, 1994, we considered the Town's
' internal control structure in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinions on the Town's general-purpose financial statements and to report on the internal control structure
in accordance with OMB Circular A-128. This report addresses our consideration of internal control
structure policies and procedures relevant to compliance with requirements applicable to federal financial ' assistance programs. V1/e have addressed policies and procedures relevant to our audit of the general-
purpose financial statements in a separate report dated iVlarch 24, 1995.
' The management of the Town is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure.
In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the
expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives
of an internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance
' that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions are
executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation
of general-purpose financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
' that federal financial assistance programs are managed in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations. Because of inherent limitations in any system of internal control structure, errors, irregularities
or instances of noncompliance may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any
~ evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and
procedures may deteriorate.

' For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal control structure policies and
procedures in the following categories:
Accounting Controls:
' o Revenue receivables
o Expenses/accounts payable , General Requirements:
' o Political activity
o Davis-Bacon Act
o Civil rights
o Cash management
' o Relocation assistance and real property management
o Federal financial reports (in formats required by the Colorado Housing Finance Town)
o Allowable costs/cost principles
' o Drug-free workplace
o Administration requirements
' Specific Requirements: o Types of services
o Matching, level of effort and/or earmarking ' o Special reporting requirements .
o Special tests and provisions
' For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we obtained an understanding of the design
of relevant policies and procedures and determined whether they have been placed in operation, and we
assessed control risk.
During the year ended December 31, 1994, the Town had no major federal financial assistance programs
and expended 90% of its total federal financial assistance under the following nonmajor federal financial
~ assistance program:
o Drug Seizure monies
' Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we pertormed tests of controls, as required by OMB
Circular A-128, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of internal control structure
policies and procedures that we have considered relevant to preventing or detecting material
noncompliance with general requirements that are applicable to the federal financial assistance program,
which is identified in the accompanying Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance. Our procedures were
less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on these internal control structure policies and
procedures. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

~
, Town Council
Town of Vail
~ Vail, Colorado
' .
' For the Drug Seizure monies, we performed no tests of controls to evaluate the effectiveness of the design
and operation of internal control structure policies and procedures that could be relevant to preventing or
detecting material noncompliance with political activity, civil rights, cash management, federal financial
reports, drug-free workplace, specific requirements, claims for advances and reimbursements, and
' amounts claimed or used for matching. We did not perform such tests because such requirements do not
apply to Drug Seizure monies.
' Our consideration of the internal control structure policies and procedures used in administering federal
financial assistance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the intemal control structure that might
be material weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
~ Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the
internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that noncompliance
with laws and regulations that would be material to a federal financial assistance program may occur and
not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of pertorming their assigned
' functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control structure and its operations that we consider
to be material weaknesses as defined above.
' However, we noted certain matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we have
reported to the management of the Town in a separate letter dated March 24, 1995.
' This report is intended solely for the use of the Town Council, management and appropriate State and

~ We have audited the general-purpose financial statements of Town of Vail (the "Town") as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated March 24, 1995. These
general-purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Town's management. Our responsibility
t is to express an opinion on these general-purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government
, Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general-purpose financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
' supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general-purpose financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
' basis for our opinion.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general-purpose financial statements
of the Town taken as a whole. The accompanying Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance is presented
' for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the general-purpose financial statements.
The information in that schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
general-purpose financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation

The Vail Alpine Garden

Vail, CO 81657
Re: Proposed Construction of Visitor's Center
Dear Helen:
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and Sammye for taking the time to meet with Susan
Connelly and me the other day to discuss the proposed Alpine Garden Visitor's Center. The purpose
of this letter is to confirm our understanding regarding this issue.
As we discussed the other day, Ford Park is the location for a number of diverse activities, including
recreation, the Gerald Ford Amphitheater, as well as the Betty Ford Alpine Garder.s. While many of '
the uses at Ford Park are compatible, there are also some which are not. Additionally, the demands
placed on the park by the various user groups and activities is continuing to increase.
In an effort to comprehensively deal with the continuing growth and pressure on Ford Park, the Town
of Vail intends to revisit the Ford Park Master Plan. We are currently seeking design professionals
to conduct this work for us. Funds have been budgeted in 1995 and we intend to comp:et2 this work
as quickly as possible.
It is not the Town's position to prohibit the Alpine Gardens from proceeding through the desio review
process for the proposed visitor's center. However, as we discussed, there is a possibility the revision
to the Ford Park Master Plan may impact your proposed visitors center. Specifically, the plan update
will review the parking (or lack thereof) at Ford Park. This issue and the potential vehicular intrusion
into Ford Park may affect your plans. It is not our intention to inhibit or impede your progress with
fund raising. It is important you understand our position so there will be no misunderstandings in
the future.
The Town of Vail has long supported and continues to support the Alpine Gardens. The Vail Town
Council recognizes the gardens are an amenity of world class significance and we will continue to
support them in the future. However, as the owner of the property, the Town must deal responsibly
with all the uses on this site and intends to try to do so through reconsideration of the Ford Park
Master Plan.
J

Once again, thank you for taking the time to meet with us and to work with us on this issue. Please
feel free to call me at 479-2105 if you have qzestions or need to discuss this in more detail.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF VAIL

MEASURE W91eLE TOV ~~EWS nA0N6TOR STREANIS AND TRIB4JTd4RIES
FOR SOGRRS O4F POSSBBLE FLOODl6VG, DEBRIS FLOW
(Vail)--Emergency responders from the Town of Vail are keeping a watchful eye on
area streams and tributaries for signs of potential flooding or mudslides. Also, free
sandbags are available for residents and businesses wanting to safeguard their
property. Town Manager Bob McLaurin says the action is strictly a precautionary
measure. "Our emergency response team has met and we're prepared to mobilize, if
needed," said iVicLaurin. In the.meantime, he says, crews are working daily to remove
debris from nearby streams to improve water flow. Saturation levels, snowmelt and
warming trends also are being monitored.
In 1984 a series of mudslides caused extensive property damage to the West Vail,
Booth Falls and Bald Mountain areas in Vail. McLaurin says officials aren't in a
position to predict what might happen this year. "1IVe don't want to overreact, but at the
same time, we're prepared to respond just in case," he said. An evacuation plan has
been updated, as well as a plan for the mobitization of heavy equipment, McLaurin
said. About 1,500 sandbags have also been filled and are ready for use by town crews

Sandbags/Add 1
in the event of an emergency.
In addition, free sand material and empty sandbags are available for public
distribution at three locations: Stephen's Park in West Vail; the Vail Municipal Building
(east side); and the parking lot at the exit 180 interchange in East Vail. Residents
should bring a shovel and are asked to fill their own bags.
For more information about sandbags, condition reports or other flood related
assistance, please call the Town of Vail Public Works Department at 479-2159
between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. For after hours assistance, call police dispatch at

BIO-BUILDSfiI~ ~~~~AT6ONAL PROJECT ARE 1995 EN!/IRONIVIEIVTAL WINIVERS
(Vail)--VVinners of the first annual Niauri iVottingham Environmental Quality Award
were announced today by the Town of Vail. In the individual category, Jean Johnson
and her son Bill Johnson of Eagle took top honors by becoming the first local residents
to place land into the Eag.le County Land Conservancy for perpetuity. The top
business winner for 1995 is the Antlers at Vail, which convinced 69 of its 70 hotel
condominium unit owners to convert wood burning fireplaces to gas. In the third
category, classmates at Eagle Valley High School won the student award for creation of
a Bio-Building. The three groups will be recognized by the Vail Town Council
during an award ceremony at 7:30 p.m. June 6 in the Council Chambers.
~
In all, there were 22 citizen nominations for the iVottingham award, which is named
for the founder of the area's award-winning recycling program, VVe Recycle. The award
will be presented annually to recognize outstanding actions or programs that protect
the valley's environment.
~~en Space
In preserving 59 acres of family-owned land along Brush Creek near Eagle, Jean
Johnson has dedicated the award to her aunt, Elinor Allen, who died earlier this year.
(more)
Nottingham Award/Add 1
As co-owner of what was known as the Allen Brothers Ranch, Elinor wanted to leave
her share of the property in its natural state, Jean said. "So Bill and I had it partitioned
and through a two-step process we eventually finalized the conservation easement in
1993," Jean said. The easement is in two sections, a 35-acre parcel known as the
"Gyp Hills," which abuts the Terrace subdivision; and a 24-acre parcel across the road
known as the "wetlands." The upper parcel will be used as an open space wildlife
corridor. Plans for public fishing access at the wetlands are currently being developed
with the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Situated near the entrance to Adam's Rib, Jean
says the open space acreage could play an important role in the future of the Brush
Creek corridor. "In this case, there's one space that won't be built on no matter what,"
she said. Although Jean regrets that her side of the family didn't choose to restrict the
remaining portion of the Allen Brothers Ranch, she says she's proud she could fulfill
her aunt's wishes. Jean and Bill are lifelong residents of the area. Jean is a member
of the Eagle Town Board. Bill has been employed by the White River National Forest
for the past 20 years. Both have been involved in recent efforts to help reactivate the
Eagle County Land Conservancy.
Improved Air Quality
How do you get 69 of 70 condominium owners to spend $500 each to help cost-share
the conversion of their woodburning fireplaces to clean-burning gas? "It was relatively
painless," says Rob LeVine,, general manager of the Antlers at Vail, who spearheaded
the project on behalf of the hotel's board of directors. "We used an educational
campaign to talk about the impact of woodburning fireplaces on our air quality," LeVine
said. "And now that we've done it, most of our owners and guests wouldn't have it any
other way. They like the convenience of turning on a switch whenever they choose."
The 23-year-old property was the first lodge in Vail to launch a large-scale conversion
and has served as a catalyst in the conversion of more than 500 other units throughout
Vail. As a result, the town's air quality standards have improved dramatically since
1990.
Bio-Builcfing
Student designed, student built, student run! The new Bio-Building at Eagle Valley
High School is just that. The 50 x 50 sq. ft. building will feature hydroponics,
aquaculture, entomology and a fungi growing lab. The building is in the process of
being built and will be up and running by the fall of this year. Finance, shop and
science classes are all involved in the project. "We will be open for tours this fall," said
Eagle Valley High School student Julie Fritz. Fritz says tanks for the aquaculture floor
will include tilapia, trout and giant prans (freshwater shrimp).
Nominations were reviewed by a selection committee with representation from the
Town of Vail, Vail Associates, Vail Board of Realtors, Vail Recreation District, Vail
Valley Medical Center, Public Service Company and We Recycle. Awards were

Dear Merv:
Even though our team did not win, it was fun skiing with you during the Ford
Celebrity Cup. As we discussed on the chair lift, as the IVorthwoods condominium
representative for Vail Associates' proposed redevelopment of Golden Peak, I have
been concerned at the apparent lack of extended neighborhood planning on Vail
Associates part. My specific concerns include:
1. Vail Associates' failure to encourage safe wintertime pedestrian movement
from both the parldng garage and Vistabahn to the progosed new high-sgeed quad to be
located at Golden Peak, and to the west to the saccer field parking lot.
2. that no planning has apparently been made to take off-season gedestrians,
bikes and joggers from the Golden Peak redevelopment area safely to Ford Park and
the sxcer field.
3. that increased automobile usage will further negatively impact the residential
area around Golden Peak if a new high speed quad that "goes somewhere" is
constructed along with the only highly desirable slaer automobile drop-off area in the
valley. 4, that the relocation of the bus stop requiring passengers to walk through and
around the automobile slder drop off area will only reduce the desirability of skier families and children coming by bus.
5. that no apparent planning has been given to improving the traffic jam created
by the existence of both Sld Club Vail and DEdO in the Golden Peak area.

,.r. •
While I believe Vail Associates to be a highly responsible community member, I am
concerned by its apparent attitude, which until now has been that Vail Associates is not
responsible for pedestrian and automobile access to or from Golden Peak and is
similarly not responsible for the creation of additional automobile traffic due to the
construction of the high speed quad and s1Qer drop off area.
Very Ktrulyurs,
Howard H. Torgove

Post Office Box 975
Avon, CO 81620
Dear Buz:
I want to take this opportunity to update you on the status of the Dowd Junction Bike Path. As you
may be aware, the Town of Vail has been working with the Colorado Department of'I'ransportation
for the last few years to connect the bike path from Vail Pass through Dowd Junction. The project
is divided into two phases. The first involves design, acquisition of all right-of-way, and obtaining all
the necessary approvals, in order to move forward with construction of a bridge across the Eagle River
and a bridge over the Deer 1VTigration Crossing of I-70. This phase is currently under construction and
is estimated to be completed June of this year. The cost for this portion of the project is $1,100,000.00,
which has been fully funded.
Phase II of this project involves construction of the path from West Vail to Hwy 6. The cost for this
portion is estimated to be $750,000.00. Therefore the total project cost is $1,850,000.00. In addition to the grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation in the amount of $430,000.00 for phase
I, the Town of Vail has contributed $225,000.00. This does not include the staff time to research and
prepare the necessary grant applications. Eagle County has also agreed to contribute to this project
with a F'Y1995 contribution of $100,000.00 and consideration of additional funding in FY1996. This
leaves a shortfall of approximately $129,000.00
We would like to urge Town of Avon to join with the Town of Vail, Eagle County, and the Colorado
Department of Transportation in providing funding to complete this project.
Not only will this project improve the quality of life for the residents and locals of the entire valley,
it will also be a significant economic enhancement. It will enable visitors from Summit County to
bicycle from Summit County through Vail, Avon, and on to Glenwood Canyon. We believe that this
project has significant economic impacts for not only Vail and Eagle County, but Avon as well, and
hope you will be able to assist with funding of this project.
We look forward to hearing from you regarding this project.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF VAIL

Bob McLaurin
Vail Town Council
75 S. Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Bob:
As everyone in the Vail Valley is probably well aware, Aspen Limousine Service, Inc., d.b.a.
Vans to Vail, appears to have fallen upon some very difficult financial troubles. Their situation
is complicated at the very least, and may take some time to sort out. The purpose of this
correspondence is to update you with regard to the intentions of Colorado Mountain Express to
ensure comprehensive and continuous access to our resort community.
Colorado Mountain Express currently occupies approximately 65% of the Vail and Beaver Creek
ground transportation market. This past winter, we ran a fleet of 90 vehicles. We plan to
increase our fleet to approximately 150 vehicles by November 1995, in order to compensate for
the expected void in the VailBeaver Creek market and to support our proposed expansion plans
into the Roaring Fork Valley. Colorado Mountain Express is in sound financial condition and
will have no difficulty funding tliis growth. Furthermore, I plan to work closely and coordinate
efforts with Dan Booz, President of Vail Valley Taxi, Chip Debus, President of Airport
Transportation Service, and Brad Gent, owner of Dollar Rent-A-Car, and am confident that our
collective efforts will more than satisfy the void.
Over the past 30 days, N,%re have been in contact with all Wholesalers, both international and
domestic, who bring any significant amount of business to the Vail Valley. These discussions
have resulted in net pricing contracts applicable for the ensuing ski season. We have been
extremely fair with our net pricing, and this consideration has been appreciated by these
Wholesalers. %
P.O. BOX 580 o UA/L, COLO(ti4D0 87658 o PHONE 970.949.4227 TOLL FREE 800.525.6363 FAX 970.949.5032
As we increase our market position, we have no plan to alter our pricing strategies. We will
continue to offer high quality service at a fair price. This philosophy is evidenced by our current
off season local's rate, which we plan to continue through mid-June. We are well aware of the
value of a long term market position, and would never compromise this value for short term
profits.
Finally, as we continue to make front page news in the Aspen papers, and fortunately, somewhat
less frequently in the Vail papers, I can. assure you that there has been absolutely no wrong doing
by Colorado Mountain Express. We have a long competitive history with the owners of Aspen
Limousine Service, and these litigious assaults are not uncharacteristic of how they choose to
compete. Frankly, we expect several other legal attacks in the weeks to come. We will merely
address these actions one at a time. Though quite disruptive, we expect to prevail in all
instances.
We have provided quality service to the Vail Valley for the past 12 years, and greatly appreciate
this community's support. Should you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call at
949-4227, ext. 6501.
Sincerely,
Mark S. Walker President

RE: Cbloraclo River Compact Development Worbgroup Projections
Dear P4r . Lochhead :
CWCB's Workgroup reliance on 10 year old BUREC consumptive use data is
seriously misleading state water nolicy decisions.
The state's actual consunmtive use of Colorado River ComDact waters is
declining, instead of growing, as assumed by the Workgroup. This long-term
consuaption decline means Colorado is steadily losing its water future to dow-n
river states. The decline is the result of: 1) conversion of irrigated lanci
to urban use; 2) retirement of salty land in oider irrigated areas; 3) modern
conservation techniques such as surge irrigation, ditch lining, low-head
sprinklers, etc..
A better indicator of our declining Colorado rivex consumntion is
readily obtainable from 30 years of Colorado and U.S. Degartment of
Agriculture Census Reports on total irrigated acreage for each county. Thirtv
vears of county assessor data is even more accurate as a trend indicator.
:arners do not want to r)ay taxes on land that is no longer irrigated.
Data `rom local water user agency studies is seriously misleading for
s~atewdde water policy decisions. These agencies feel obligated to inflate
tneir irriaated acreage and consumptive needs, because of the fundamental
"LSe-it-or-lose-it" realities of Western water law.
Colorado's declining Colorado River Basin needs, coupled with the
- - - grow-ing, SoutY?- Platte -and- Arkansas -River --Basin denands-, are--vit-al * trends -that- - - - --rtu.st be recognized for responsible statewide -water development decisions.
Thank you for considering this serious state water policy niatter.

Re: Parking Structure Revenues,;:"Transactions -
Upon reading the information release of April 26 regarding
the parking structure revenue, et.c. I ielt a quick comment
was in order. I stronaly urge the Council to continue to
offer the three hours free parking in the evenings in the
winter between 6-10 P.M. It certainly is a difficult.,event
to measure, but I believe there are manY people who benefit
from this program. Many of our customers have mentioned
(with pleasure) the program to me. I believe more people
make use of it than we think. However, I believe, as I am
sure you do as well, that hezghtened awareness of the program
is necessary. I believe the program wi11 ultimayely be
successsul. Please, in your deliberations regarding the
increased debt service do not sacrifice this program. It may
increase parking dollars but decrease sales tax dollars else
where. Respectfully,
Michael D. )taughto

Dear Members of the Vail Town Council,
We understand that the Vail Town Council wi1l be determining the
level far Vail Valley Community Television CH5 on June 6, 1995.
Ia order for Vail Valley Community Television (CH5) to
continue to serve the Vail Valley all of the tQwn councils in
Vaa.1, Minturn, and Avon need to continue to dediCate.at least the
present l.evel of fundi.zig. We urge you to join with us, the Avon
Town Cauncil and give ful.l support to Vail Valley Community
Television (CH5). ,
CH5 has been an integzal part of'our community. They have.
fostered communication throughout the Vail Valley for 13 years.
In May 1995, Vail Valley Community Television was nominated as a
"Finalist" in the prestigious "HOMETOWN VIDEO FESTIVAL" for the
"Eagle VaJ.ley News Magazine" monthly series.
CHS provides programming that helps me be more inforcned about our
town and county government issues, and school dietriGt bflard
meetings. CH5 aleo offex rhows that keep me familiarized with
discussidns about open space, Bus3ness Edueation.Paxtnership, and
the roundabout. It is important that we continue to support our
Vail Valley Community TV statian which givee us pxograms such as
the "Vail Library Adventure Series," Eagle County Live," "Eagle
Valley News Maga2ine," and the "Vail Symposium."
We believe that it is cTitical that the community not only hae a
Public Access TV station that educates the residents about
critical ieeues in the Vail Valley, but aleo affords an
opportunity to voice their opinions and commentary on current
events. TnTe requeat that Vail Towri Council will vote on June 6, 1995 to
dedicate at least 2% of TCI's gross revenues ae yvu have done in

Dear nfiayor:
Last October, I signed F-xecutive Order D0007 94, "Enhancing the
Intergovernmental Partnership." The order is designed to improve
consultation with local governments concerning state rules and
regulations that impose requirements. In the order, I direct state rule-
making agencies to actively consult with local officials and to work to
address their concerns.
-A guidance document outlining how state agencies intend to implement
this order was developed. As you probably know, the Colorado
Municipal League and Colorado Counties Inc., Special District
Association, Colorado Association of School Boards, Colorado Office of
State Planning and Budgeting and various state agency personnel
assisted in its development. Enclosed you will find both the executive
order and the guidance document.
I hope this process will help to create a collaborative refationship with
local governments on the deyelopment of regulatory policy.

REGa4RD9t~~ IMPLEIVIENI°AT10(V OF EXECU°TIVE
ORDER D0007 94
ENHANCING THE I(VTERGOVERNNIENTAL
PARTIVERSHIP
In an effort to create a true partnership betvveen state and local government,
Governor Romer signed Exeeutive Order D0007 ' 94 enhancing the
intergovernmental par4nership. The Executive Order requires state rulemaking
agencies fio consult with local governments prior to the issuance of any rules
that could be considered an unfunded mandate. The Executive Order is
directed onlv at state rulemaking agencies that promulqate rules which create
rnandates uaon local government. To ensure compliance, the Executive
Order directs state rulemaking agencies to provide documentation to the Office
of State Planning and Budgeting (OSPB) that consultation has occurred. J
In a cooperative effort, OSPB, local government representatives, and state
rulemaking agencies developed guidelines to improve the existing consultation
process befiween state rulemaking agencies and the affected local
governments and a documentation process that would meet the intenfi of the
Executive Order. Recognizing that each rulemaking agency's procedures vary,
these guidelines may not represent the only solution to this issue. 9t is also
noted 4hat there is currently a public review process outlined in 4he
administrative procedure act which allows for local government input in the
rulemaking process. The guidelines developed provide general
recomnnendations to rulemaking bodies and associated agencies for such
consultation efforts. The guidelines are not intended to preclude existing or
alfiernabve consultation procedures which are equally effective in implementing
the Executive Order. ,
1
.
RECOMMENDED CONSULTATION PROCEDURES
¦ Agency representatives will be available to meet regularly (quarterly or
as appropriate) with appropriate committees of the Colorado Municipal
League (CML), Colorado Counties, Inc (CCI), Special District
Association, and the Colorado Association of School Boards, and/or with
appropriate staff of these organizations to discuss upcoming or pending
rulemaking initiatives. The goal of such discussions is to identify, at an
- early stage, those rulemaking issues of particular interest to local
govemments so that those affected or interested can be involved in the
process of rulemaking formulation and/or anafysis of proposed rules. At
such meetings, the above organizations and the appropriate state
agency will determine which local govemments should be consulted with
respect to individual proposals or initiatives.
¦ Information regarding upcoming rulemaking initiatives should also be
distributed at an early stage through other means available to individual
agencies--e.g., informational newsletters, bulletins, on-line access
. systems, and/or meetings of formal or informal groups that include local
government participants.
¦ Copies of rulemaking notices, either with the proposal attached or with
information regarding where to obtain a copy of the full proposal, would
be sent, as appropriate, to the CML, CCI, Special District Association,
and the Colorado Association of School Boards. The rulemaking notice
would be sent on or before publication in the Colorado Register.
The specific nature of the consultation undertaken, orce notice of rulemaking
has been provided by steps such as the above, will vary widely depending on
the nature of the issue, the extent of local government interests, as well as the
extent of participation by other interested groups and individuals.
Agencies should attempt to fully implement section 24-3.5-101, C.R.S. which
provides that public participation in government produces better government.
Therefore, to promote as much public and local government participation as
possible, every state board and commission established by law is encouraged
to hold one or more of its regularly scheduled meetings outside the Denver
Metropolitan area each year, taking their budgetary constraints into account.
2
a
a
LLYOCIJfVIENTATBOIV PROCEDl1RES The Executive Order requires that sfate rulemaking agencies document the
fact that local governrnent input was considered prior to the fnal adoption of
the rule. To reiterate, this repuirement onlv applies to rules fihafi create
mandates upon local government.
The objection is fio dedelop the most efficient and least disruptive method of
accomplishing fihe above. VVith this in mind, OSPB is requesting the
following:
• CON1'ENT OF DOCUMENTATBOIV: A brief summary of the extent of
the consultation efforfis that occurred wifh representatives of the
affecfed local governments as vvell as the nature and disposition of
issued raised. The aqencv has the option to include this informafiion
either on the Statement of Basis and Purpose, the Requlafory Anatysis
(if prepared), or on a separate form which the individual aqencies can
develop. Since this information is specifically required by the
Executive Order, it is critical that agencie.s comply in one manner or
the other. Should the agency choose to provide this information on a
separate form, a copy of the Statement of Basis and Purpose and the
Regulatory Analysis (if prepared) are still required.
• T9MING OF SUBMITTAL: This documentation should only be
submitted once during the rule promulgation process; after final
adopfiion but before the effective date of the rule. The documentation
should be submitted to the agency's OSPB analyst.

Dear Paul:
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to meet with the Vail Town Council
last week. Although it appears the Vail Town Council is not inclined to place a sales tax on the ballot
for the construction of bike paths, they do strongly support the construction of an integrated
transportation system.
In fact, the Town has been at the forefront of the construction of the Dowd Junction bike path. In
addition to contributing $225,000 towards the construction of this project, the Town has contributed
significant staff time to research and prepare the necessary grant applications. We have also been
working with Eagle County to secure funding from the County to complete this project. We are also
working with the Town of Avon to attempt to secure some funding from them for this project.
The Vail Town Council recognizes that an integrated transportation system will not only improve the
quality of life for residents and locals in the Vail Valley, but they agree with you it will be a significant
economic enhancement.
Although the Council at this point will not as a Council support an additional sales tax for bike paths,
we will continue to work to provide a comprehensive, integrated transportation system. Thank you
for your time and work on this important project.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF VAIL

More on Loss of Open Space---- 5/30/95
I had the priviledge of attending a board meeting of the
Vail Valley Consolidated Water District the other day, the
purpose to ask the board to reconsider their decision to sell one
of their properties no longer needed to serve the modernized
operation.
They were extremely friendly and happy to have a taxpayer
1
and water customer attend their meeting. The members were most
courteous and helpful in explaining their actions with very sound
economic reasons for their plan. I was told that many hours went
into their study and research with.every conceivable interested
entity including the Town of Vail, the Rec District, and Ford
Park.
Simply stated, the sale of the water treatment plant land
at the.east end of the soccer field and between the 6th green and
the 7th tee on the Vail Golf course could.bring the Distrct more
than ONE MILLION dollars to reduce a portion of the District debt
and save consumers considerable interest. Their goal is to
eventually eliminate the debt and reduce the water costs to the
consumers in the valley. A most admirable goal as well as a
sound busine5s decision.
I, like most taxpayers like my costs reduced, and I give the
Board high praise for their efforts.
Now, I would like to explain why.it may not be in the best
interests of the community, and ask for your support in opposing
their effort.
There is really no difference between the Water District and
the Town Government. They are both elected by the citizens and
have a responsibility to the taxpayers and consumers. The
Water District would be setting an unwanted precedent in selling
taxpayer owned property to development, while the Town spends
millions of Dollars to acquire open space.
If you drive east from Manor Vail on Vail Valley Drive, you
will have a most pleasing view, as seen by many of our visitors
on their way to Ford Park, the Golf Course or the Soccer Field.
Can you imagine what a giant monstrosity would meet your eye if
the pattern of " tear downs" of recent years was replaced by a
$3 MILLION DOLLAR Chateau?
The lot in question could be a much greater community asset
for a future bridge ( already planned) for the growth needs of an
expanded Gold Peak and less congested traffic flow.situation in
that area. The bridge would access the frontage road east of the
Ford Park tennis courts and greatly benefit Ford Park
Amphitheater and soccer field.
Imagine if you will, a beautiful bridge approach similar to
thz International Bridge between Crossroads and the Lodge at
Vail.

considered that the project would have a potential impact to the flood plain of the
Eagle River. RECD has completed its environmental assessment and has made
a finding of no significant environmental impact.
RECD will not prepare an environmental impact statement for this proposed
action but will make no decision regarding this proposed action for the next
fifteen day period. Attached is a copy of the Combined Final iVotification and
Findinq of No Siqnificant Environmental Imqact.
If you have any comments regarding this determination or other questions,

COMBINED FINAL NOTIFICATION AND FINDING
OF NO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMEfVTAL IMPACT
The U.S. Department of Agriculture. Rural Economic and Community
Development (RECD), (formerly Farmers Home Administration) has received an
application for financial assistance from the Town of Minturn. The specific
elements of this proposed action are to construct improvements to the town's

RE: Dog Leash Ordinance
250 Ordinance
Dear Council Members:
Thank you for your consideration of the above referenced changes
to making life pleasant and livable in the Town of Vail.
The residents of Vail Intermountain Subdivision have been long
suffering from uncontrolled dogs; it has been better in recent
months, however, we still are subject to the lack of
consideration of some residents for their neighbors. It is ,
inexcusable that those who do control and maintain their animals
must put up with damage to their trees and gardens and clean dog
feces out of their yards deposited there by neighboring dogs.
We also are concerned for the safety of the dogs who do not
deserve to die just because their owners don't restrain them from
running in the streets. Dogs under "voice control" still run
through other peoples' yards and into the street
Concerning the 250 ordinance, we do not feel that it is
reasonable to deny that important square footage to the older
homes in the Vail Area just because there have been some abuses
of that rule in the reconstruction of a few properties. Those
who abuse the rule will probably figure out a way to take
advantage of it anyway, and in the meantime, those who really
need the space and perhaps can now afford additional square
footage that they could not afford during the pioneer years in
Vail, will be denied the additional living space that they were
not able to acquire during the brief window of time that this
ordinance was in effect.
We urge you to take our comments under advisement when reviewing
these issues and will appreciate your serious consideration of
them.

Honorable Peggy Osterfoss, Mayor
Town Council Members
Town of Vail
75 S. Frontage Road, West
Vail, Colorado 81657
RE : MEETING JiTNE 6TH
Dear Ms. Osterfoss,
This letter is to inform the Town Council of Vail tYiat the Town
of Gypsum will be unable to attend the June 6th meeting. The
Town Council of Gypsum are generally working and will be unable
to attend a meeting during the day. I will be on vacation._
I would like to take this opportunity at the direction of the
Gypsum Town Council to formally state the Town's opposition to a
1/2 cent sales increase for public transportation. Gypsum does
believe that public transportation is vital to the economy of
this valley, however, the Town is not convinced that the burden
of cost should be shifted to the down valTey communities. The
majority of the sales tax revenues in Eagle County are generated
from the Vai1/Avon/Beaver Creek area. A sales tax increase
obviously relies on the tourists from the various resort
communities to pay a substantial amount of the actual tax.
However, since Eagle and Gypsum do not typically draw large
numbers of tourists (there are some associated with the airport,
rafting, fishing, hunting, etc.), the sales tax increase would
directly effect the businesses and residents of our community.
The ques.tion then becomes, who is generating the need for the
transportation?. It is our view that it is the businesses =rom
the Vail-Beaver Creek area. Since these businesses have the
greatest opportunity to capitalize off of the tourist activity,
we feel a vast amount of the public transportation funds should
come from the parties that 1.) generate the need, and 2.)have the
greatest financial capability to fund the need.
Does this mean Gypsum is void of any responsibility of public
transportation? Absolutely not. The Town has pledged money, at
the request of the riders from Gypsum, to help keep the bus going
in 1995. The Town also anticipates allocating monies from our
general fund to support the bus in whatever financial capacity we
are able to each year. The Town does recognize that the bus
service is very convenient for many of our residents, and we will
continue to support them. However, we simply do not feel a
county wide sales tax increase is the answer.
There is also a lack of confidence from Gypsum that a sales tax
increase would even pass in 1995 when Eagle County will be
proposing another De-Brucing Amendment. The Town fully
anticipates supporting the County in its De-Brucing campaign.
Finally, the last item the Town Council wished me to address is
proceeds from a sales tax increase used for public transportation
should in no.way include funding bike paths. There are numerous
funding opportunities through TSTEA, GO COLORADO, as well
subdivision requirements that should fund bike paths. The Town
of Gypsum raised its own mill levy to build our bike path which
is currently under construction. We also obtained grants, and
Eagle County was very generous in helping us. Our residents are
under the impression that once-the path is constructed, the mill
levy will lower. For Gypsum to support anything different than
that would not be prudent.
Gypsum also believes that as devel,opments occur on Highway 6
between Gypsum and Eagle, it is part of the requirements of the
Town for the developers-to continue the bike path. Since the
Gypsum Town boundaries extend close to 4 miles from Eagle, the
Town is comfortable with the our bike path endeavors. The Gypsum
Master Plan has long range plans to support funding the path from
the Glenwood Springs Canyon to Gypsum. Because of the light
traffic on Highway 6 west o.f Gypsum, many bikers come from
Glenwood on weekends, eat lunch.in Gypsum, and then return.
While the argument is made that bike paths in Eagle County are an
alternative transportation method, it is only true for Eagle to
Gypsum, Edwards to Avon, or Eagle/Vail to Vail. It is not
realistic to believe residents will ride from Gypsum to Vail to
work.
In-summary, the Town of Gypsum is opposed to,a sales tax increase
for public transportation. The Town will continue to look each
year to parti.cipate from current budget allowances. Gypsum
opposes a county wide tax to subsidize bike paths. The Town
apologiz-es for being unable to attend the June 6th meeting.
Please feel free to share the contents of this letter with those
attending as Gypsum's official position. If you have any
questions or comments, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
Jeff Shroll, Town Manager
