V June 21, 1995 Town Of Vail 75 S. Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Friend, It's time to mark your calendars for the 5th Annual Slifer, Smith & Frampton/Vail Associates Real Estate Western Hoedown for 6:00 Wednesday evening on July 19th at Garton's Saloon. As a preferred business, we would like to offer you the opportunity of sponsoring a corporate table at what has become one of Vail's most successful fund-raisers. Over the past four years, the Hoedown has raised over $80,000 for Eagle County libraries. Proceeds have funded a new computer networking program called PER- FAX-TION. This network allows our libraries to share resources and eliminate waste and duplication while enhancing service to the community. This year, we are offering a limited number of corporate table sponsorships at a price of $400.00 for an eight (8) person table. The tables will be decorated with a floral arrangement and name placard, thus ensuring visibility. We also have an auction, and need items to be donated. Education is key to a bright future for all. If you can help us raise money for Eagle County libraries, we would'surely appreciate your participation. Please call me at 476-1463 or Cookie Flaum at 845-8099 for more information. See you at the Hoedown. Sincerely, , ~t.~Y~'~~,~~ .

Robbi had met Ostertoss last July when a Vail delegation visited St. Moritz to begin expansion of the sister city relationship. ---1995 Community Survey Results Council members received a brief overview of the 1995 community survey results from Nolan Rosall of the research firm RRC Associates in Boulder. According to . respondents, the four most significant issues facing the town are: 1) open space . preservation; 2) affordable housing in Vail; 3) new development regulations; and 4) traffic congestion: The survey also shows considerable support for capacity improvements at the West Vail interchange and use of Real Estate Transfer Tax funds to be used for open space protection and bike/pedestrian path development. Overall, satisfaction ratings for departmental services are slightly higher than last year's survey, although neighborhood services ratings (street sweeping, trash, noise, etc.) are slightly below last year. Fire, police, municipal court, snow removal and bus service received the highest scores, while satisfaction levels were lowest for road maintenance, off- street parking and the overall parking fee pricing structure in the town's parking facilities. While the Town Council scored 3.0 on a satisfaction scale of 1 to 5(with 5 being the highest), some residents sensed a disconnection between themselves and the Town Council, Rosall said. The Council hopes to change that perception by improving the process of community involvement, one of four goals created by 4he, Council at a goal-setting session in fViay. For a copy of the survey summary, con4act Suzanne Silverthorn in the Community Information Office at 479-2115. (more) ' x Council Highlights/Add 1 --Vail Commons Discussion On a 4-2 vote (Strauch, Navas against), the Council directed staff to begin negotiations with City Market for a mixed use development on the 6.6-acre town-owned Vail Commons parcel in West Vail. Grand Junction-based City Market, in partnership with Warner Developmerits, Inc., and Mark Donaldson Architects, both of Avon, proposes 65 affordable residentiat housing units; a 60,000 sq. ft. commercial development consisting of a 55,000 sq. ft. City Market supermarket and 5,000 sq. ft. of retail; and a day care facility for 40 children, among other improvements. Yesterday's decision was made following review of traffic impacts and a market study by the town's retail consultant, Dan Guimond of BRW Inc. in Denver. Guimond concluded there are "sufficient sales outflows and opportunities to gain from sales competition to attract a competitive chain such as City Market to open a new store and compete with the existing Safeway store." The City Market proposal had been competing with two remaining plans--both of which contained an expanded Safeway component. That prompted the presence yesterday of Safeway Chief Executive Officer Steve Byrd, who offered to modify the store's initial proposal and provide higher quality aspects to mafch the City Market proposal. Byrd also warned of the risk to the community if two supermarkets are unable to successfully compete. In response, John Caldwell, a spokesman for City Market, said his company has been "careful, knowledgeable and responsible" in offering a proposal that is best suited for the community. Four of the six Council members agreed, emphasizing City Market's ability to come through with the best plan for quality and affordable housing--the project's initial focus. Also, the proposal provides benefits other developers weren't willing to give, Council members said. Those community benefits include: underground parking; allowing the town to maintain ownership of the property; higher quality construction budgets; the least - amount of traffic impacts; higher quality site planning; a superior design for the residential component of the site; the lowest developer fee; and the highest return to the town on its $3.2 million inve.stment. Community members of the Vail Commons Task Force expressed reservations about all three proposals, noting their desire for more housing and a concern for improvement of the entire West Vail corridor. Following yesterday's meeting, the next steps include negotiating a development agreement with City Market. Construction of the project could begin next spring. For more information, including the supermarket analysis, contact Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --Seibert Circle Redesign The Council reviewed and suggested improvements to a plan for the redesign of Seibert Circle. A water feature is planned and the possibility of heated pavers will be explored so a fountain could run year-round. The Council agreed to phase the project with completion of road and utility work this fall; the remainder will be completed in the spring of 1996. The town has budgeted $300,000 for the project. --Summit Stage Amy Ostrander, director of Summit Stage, gave a brief overview of the Summit County (more) d q Council Highlights/Add 2 transit system in preparafiion for the July 18 regional transportation meeting in Avon. Efforts to create a regional transit authority in this county are similar to the Summit Stage structure, which collects a one-half cent county sales tax to provide transit service throughout Summit County. Ostrander shared her insight regarding operations, decision-making and various equity issues associated with an 11-member transit board. For more information, contact Mike Rose, Vail transit manager, at 479-2178. --1995 First Quarter Financial Report Finance Director Steve Thompson presented the first quarter financial report. The report projects a zero percent increase in sales tax to show the impact of a flat year on the town's budget. This wrould create a sales tax revenue shortfall of $450,000. With lift tax revenue also projected to be dowrn this year, Thompson says the town may find the year with a shortfall in revenue. However, the shortfall may be absorbed_ by reduced insurance costs. For a copy of the report, or for more information, contacf Thompson at 479-2116. --Alpenrose Tea Deck Expansion The Council voted 6-0 (Lapin absent) to allow the Alpenrose Tea Room to proceed through the process to extend a portion of its deck on Town of Vail property. If the application is approved, the use of town property will require a revocable right-of-way permit. For more information, contact Town Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107. --Information Update The new carpeting in the iVlunicipal Building will be replaced in October at the manufacturer's expense due to problems associated with inferior carpet runs from the carpet manufacturer. After reviewing photos submitted by a iViatterhorn resident, the Council direcfed staff to address complaints about various code violations in the neighborhood. --PEC Report During a staff update on the recent Planning and Environmental Commission meeting, the Council wras briefed on Vail Valley iViedical Center's request to obtain a conditional use permit to park a mobile catheter lab/trailer at the Meadow Drive loading area. The hospital is now reviewing the possibility of relocating the trailer to another site within the hospital complex to address neighborhood concerns. The item should be coming back for review by the PEC in the next few weeks. For more information, contact Randy Stouder in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --RFP/Ford Amphitheater The Council voted 5-2 (Lapin, Steinberg against) to send out request for proposals for a management/master plan for Ford Park. Jan Strauch was appointed as the Council's representative on an advisory committee to assist with the RFP. The management plan is intended to address access, traffic, parking, park circulation and other issues (more) ~ ,i Council Highlights/Add 3 associated with the park's current and future use.
