Vail, CO 81657
Dear Mike,
GPH Partners, Ltd. would like to again discuss the issues of
reducing density and substituting rental units as well as moving
existing GRFA to a different location in the redeveloped Golden Peak House. I would like to appear before the Town Council on
October 17, 1995.
The issue regazding the density reduction and substitution of
equivalerit rental units is essentially the same as was defeated
by the 3 to 3 vote in September. I will present additional
background information and quantify the living space; sleeping
accommodations and rental rates for tYle units in question.
Additiorially, I will provide the actual deed restriction
language.
In order to accommodate the owners of units 302 and 304, I have
~ zeduced the GRFA in my unit 403 by 109 sctuare feet This was
aecom lished b movin the nor h wall back to the south a
istance of 31-611. The area vacated north of this wa will be
use to a evlate the crowded conditions in the mechanical
equipment room and duct space. This new common space will be
structurally reduced to less t.han 5' in height as was already
being done in a portion of this area. I wish to transfer the
zesulting 109 squaze feet, together with the 3.1 square feet
reduced previously from my unit 401, to uni-ts 302 and 304. This
would involve enclosing a portion of t:heir balconies as
previously presented but would not involve transferring the
excess common into commercial to create new GRFA. Total GRFA for
the project would not exceed the 18,715 amount set forth in
Ordinance 28.

TO: Planning and Environmental Commission '
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: September 11, 1995
. SUBJECT: A request for a Major Amendment to SIaD #31, fhe Ciolden Peak House, to allow
for a modification to the approved density, located at 278 Hansen ltanch
Road/Lots A, B, and C, Block 2, `Iail Village 1 st Filing and a portion of Tract E,
Vail Village Sth Filing.
Applicant: CiPH Parlners, Ltd.
planner: Mike Mollica
1. BACKGROUND & II?ESCitIP7['ION OF THE RF0 EST
The establishment of Special Development I3istrict #31, the Ciolden Peak House, was approved
by the Town Council on November 2, 1993 (Ordinance No. 28, Series of 1993). This approval
set the development standards and requirements for the redevelopment of the Golden Peak
House. During the early spring of 1995, the Town issued a building permit for the demolition of
the original Golden Peak House and its subsequent redevelopment. The project is currently uader
construction and proceeding according to the approved plans.
The applicant is cunently proposing a Major Amendment to the approved Special Developrnent
District #31, and is requesting the following:
1. A modification to the approved density of the Golden Peak House = a request ta
eluninate two accommodation units.
2. A modification to the approved density of the Ciolden Peak House - a request to
convert 65.9 sq. ft. of common area to commercial floor area and to eliminate 3.1
sq. ft. of GRFA (both of which to be "transferred" to another area of the building);
and to increase the allowable GRFA of the project by an additiona143 sq. ft.
Dens6?v - Number of vnuts
The applicant is requesting to remove two accommodation units from the project. Because
accommodation units constitute 0.5 of a dwelling unit, a tota,l of oae dwelling unit is proposed to
be removed from the allowable density. The approved density for 4he Ciolden Peak House
includes fourteen dwelling units and two accommodation units, for a total of f fteen dwelling
units. Three of the dwelling units are approved to have lock-offs. As currently proposed, the
F:\everyonelpeclmernoylgpeakadd.911 1
41
eliminatian of two accommodation units. would reduce the ove:rall density of the project to a total
of fourteen dwelling units. Three of the dwelling units would c;ontinue to have approved lock-
offs. •
The applicant and the staff have discussed the Town's desire to have the two accommodation
units available in the short-term rental program at the Golden Peak House. To mitigate the loss
of the two accommodation units, the applicant is proposing the following:
. ? Accommodation Unit #310 (220 sq. ft. of GRFA) will no longer be considered a"stand-
alone" accommodation unit, as there will be an internal door connecting it with adjacent
, Unit #308, and therefore, Unit #310 will be considered a lock-off associated with dwelling
Unit #308. The applicant proposes to deed restrict this ilnck-off, requiring it to be
included in the short-term rental program, at coxnpatable maazket rates, at all times when
the lock-off is not occupied by the owner or his or her guests.
? The applicant proposes to eliminate accommodation Un:it #307 (288 sq. ft. of GRFA), and
incorporate this floor area into adjacent dwelling Unit #:303. To substitute for the
el imination of this accommodation unit, the applicant pmposes to deed restrict dwelling
Unit #304 (309 sq. ft. of GRFA), requiring it to be included in a short-term renta,l
program, at comparable market rates, at all times when this dwelling unit is not occupied
by the owner or his or her guests.
DensitY - GRFA
The applicant is proposing to enclose a portion of the exterior balconies of Units 302 and 304,
which arc located at the southeast corner of the building on the third floor. The request requires
thc addition of 54 sq. ft. of GRFA to be added to Unit 302 and 58 sq. ft. of GRFA to be added to
Unit 304, for a total of 112 sq. ft. of GRFA. This proposed balaony infill would bring this portion
of the south elevation out flush with the building line above (on -the fourth floor) ni below (on
the second floor). In order to obtain the 112 sq. ft. of GRFA nec;essary to accomplish tliis
balcony infill, thc applicant is proposing the following:
? Convcrt a storage closet (common area), located in the basement of the building, to commercial storage. This would "free-up" 13.4 sq. ft. of'GRFA.
? Convert a portion of a hallway (common area), located oin the first floor, to commercial
square footage. This would "free-up" 52.5 sq. .ft. of GRFA.
? Eliminate 3.1 square feet of GRFA (in Unit 401), located in the fourth floor, by shifting an
cxterior wall slightly.
? Request an additiona143 sq. ft. of GRFA.

?Ila MOAL D~VELOPMEN'H' DISTRICT REVIEVi' RITEltIA
The following are the nine Special I)evelopment District review criteria to be utilized by the
Planning and Environrnental Commissioa when evaluating Special Development I3istrict proposals
and/or amendments: A. DeSlgpll Co!(IIlpa'!$1b1I9Qy a97d SeH&31$li'i$y $9D the IFHIm@d18$e tEd?9'H9'ORIII@Il$,

orientaghouue
This review criteria is relevant to the applicant's request to add an additional 112
. sq. ft. of CpIZFA to. the third floor, as balcony enclosures for LTaits 302 and 304.
,4lthough:the staff acknowledges that Yhese balcony enclosures do not add significantly to the overall mass and bulk of the structure, the staff believes that the
enciosures wilt contribute to the mass of the building to a minor degree. We also
believe that the proposed enclosures detract from the architectural interest of the
building's south facade. The balcony enclosure would eliminate a portion of the
facade's undulation and would present a sheer four-story wall.
The staff believes that the request for additional GRFA ~n the request to expand
the two dwelling units is unwarranted, and overall we see no justification to
support the requests, nor do we see any positive benefits to the immediate
neighborhood as a result of the proposal.

With regard to GRFA, the applicant is requesting that 69 sq. ft. of floor area be
reorganized intcrnally, and that an additiona143 sq. ft. of "new" GRFA be added
to the building. Although the staff supports the concept of the internal
reorganization of common, GRFA and commercial spaces, we cannot support the
applicant's request to expand the "building envelope" beyond that which was
approved in 1993. Again, the staff believes that the applicant's request to enclose
a portion of the balconies of Units 302 and 304 to be beneficial to the unit owners
only, and can see no benefit to the community as a result of this proposal.
The staff is comfortable with the applicant's request to eliminate the two
accommodarion units from the project. VfJe believe that the applicant's proposal 40
substitute other units in the building (due to 4he ehmination of the two
' accommodation units) for inclusion in the short-term rental pro.gram of the Ciolden
Peak House, is a reasonable request.

C. Compliance with parking and loading requnrements as outlined in Chapter
18.52.
A change in use from common area to commercial square footage necessitates an
additional parking requirement. Because the Galden Peak House is located in the
Commercial Core I Zone District,'which does nok allow for the prnvision of on-site
parking, the developer will be required to pay into the Town's parking pay-in-lieu
fund. The applicant is aware of the fact that the conversion of common area to
commercial floor area will require a parking pay-in-lieu fee. As currently
proposed, 65.9 sq: ft. of common area would be converted to commercial. floor
area. This would require 0.2197 parking spaces. The current parking fee is
calculated at $15,660.00 per space, which equates to $3,440.50 which must be
paid into the Town's parking fund. Payment shall be required prior to the Town
completing a framing inspection on the project.
D. Conformity with the applicable elements of ttne Vail Comprehensive Plan, Town policies and Urban Design Plans.
The staff continues to believe that the overall redevelopment of the Golden Peak
House meets many of the goals, policies and objectives of the Town's adopted
Master Plans (Vail Village Master Plan, Vail Village Urban Design Guide Plan and
Streetscape Master Plan).
With regard to this Major SDD Amendment proposal, the staff believes that this
review criteria is generally not applicable due to the limited extent and scope of the
proposed amendments to the SDD.
E. Identification and mitigatiom of natural and/or geologic hazards that mffect
the property, on which the speceal development district is proposed.
There are no natural and/or geologic hazards, or floodplain that affect this
property. . ,
F. Site plan, building design arnd location and open space provisions designed to .
produce a functional development responsive i?md sensitHVe to natural
features, vegetation and oveu-all aesthetic qua?ity of the community.
The staff believes that this review criteria is not applicable to the applicant's
proposed Major SDD Amendment.
G. A circuladon system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing
on and off-site traffic circulatiorn.
The staff believes that this review criteria is not applicable to the applicant's

ffgffe 'B'AIFF RECOMMENDA'II'IONS
The staff views this Major SDI) Amendment request as having two separate and distinct
proposals. The staff is recommending appe°oval of the applicant's request to modify the densi4y
section of the SDD, with regard to the oveiall number of dwelling units. We support the
applicant's proposal to eliminate two accommodation units from the approved development plan,
and feel that the applicant's proposal to mitigate the loss of these hwo accommodation units to be
reasonable. Additionally, we find that this portioa of the request meets the SDD review criteria as
outlined in Section II of this memoraadum. .
The staff recommends deeuuall of the applicant's request to modify the density/GRFA portion of
the approved development plan. We do not believe that this portion of the request rneets the
SDD review criteria as outlined above. Specifically, we find that the request for additional CiRFA
is unwarranted and provides no public benefit. We are also opposed to the applicant's proposal
to x and the 1993 approved "building envelope" in any manner. The Goldea Peak House
redevelopment project was carefully reviewed, both by the staff and the public, during an.
approximatc two-year planning process. At this time, staff finds no justification to support the
proposed expansion of the building, nor can we support the request for any additional GRFA. F:*veryone\pec\memo9\gpeakydd91] 5

MEMORANDUM
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department .
DATE: October 17, 1995
SUBJECT: Appeal of a Design Review Board decision to deny an application to reroof the
Stevenson residence, using a metal roof, located at 4197 Lupine Drive/ Lot 4,
Block 1, Bighorn Subdivision, 1 st Addition.
Applicant: Mark and Maureen Stevenson, represented by Erich Hill
.
.
. . .
.
BACKGROUND
On October 4, 1995, the Design Review Board (DRB) denied a request for a reroof of the
Stevenson residence. The roof is currently cedar shakes and the applicant wishes to go to a
metal panel roof. The proposed roof is made of inetal panels that are folded and formed to give
the appearance of individual shingles. The proposed roof is a dull gray, similar in color to the
existing wood shakes.
The DRB denied the request because they believe that this material is not compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood. The Stevenson residence is located on the downhill side of Lupine
Drive and the roof is visible from the road.
The Design Guidelines allow metal roofs as an acceptable roof material. Section 18.54.050(C)6 /
states the rypes of roofing material allowed:
Roof surfacing materials shall be compatible with the site and surrounding buildings.
The predominarit roof materials utilizied shall be wood shakes and their use is strongly
encouraged. The use of inetal roofs is acceptable, however, in no instance will metal
roofs which reflect direct sunlight onto an adjacent, property be permitted. If inetal roofs
are used, they shall be surfaced with a low-gloss finish or capable of weathering to a dull
finish. Metal roofs shall generally have a standing seam in order to provide some relief to
the roof surface and be of a heavy gauge. Asphalt and fiberglass shingles shall be
permi#ed provided that they weigh no less than three hundred pounds. per roofing square
foot and are of a design and color to be compatible with the requirements of Section
18.50.050."
Due to concerns regarding the fire risk of wood shakes, the staff and the DRB has recognized
the need for changes to the Design Guidelines of the Zoning Code (Chapter 18.54) that removes
ttie emphasis of wood shakes as the prefered roofing material and increases the acceptance of
the more fire-retardant synthetic materials, such as metal and asphalt shingles.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Town Council overturn the DRB's dacision to deny this application,
and allow the Stevenson's to use the proposed metal panel rocif. Staff believes this is an
acceptable roof material and that it would be compatible with the neighborhood.

Applican4: Jeffrey & Eileen Shiffrin
Planner: Randy Stouder U. DESCR9PT@AR9 AF TiE REQUEST
The applicant is appealing the Planning and Environmental Commission's (PEC) decision
to deny a request for a density variance. According to Section 18.62.070 of the Zoning

Council within 30 days or no later than IVovember 7, 1995.
OB. RACKCROUFBD
On October 9, 1995 the PEC, upon reviewing the information and recommendations of
the Community Development Department and hearing a statement from the applicant,
unanimously denied the applicant's request for a density variance. Information regarding
the specifics of the applicant's request can be tound in the memorandum from
Communtiy Development to the PEC dated October 9, 1995.

DATE: OcYober 9, 1995
SUBJECT: ,4 rec}uesY for a density variance to allow for the consttuction of additional GRFA
within an euisting primary/secondary residence, located at 3930 BooYh Falls
CourUUnit A, Lot 6, Block 2, Vail Village 12Yh Filing.
Applicant: Jeffrey & Eileen Shiffrin
Planner: Randy Stouder
oo BACKGROUN
The applicants converYed an area above their garage Yo habitable space (GFiFA) without design
review approval or a building permit. Staff became aware of the unpermitted construction after the
Fire Department responded to an alarm at the subject property. Construction was on-going when
the Fire Department arrived, and no building permit was in evidence. The Fire Department alerted
the Community Development Department of the unpermitted construction and the job was red-
tagged (stop work order issued) on July 26, 1995. ,4 letter was sent to the applicant requiring Yhat
the unpermitted GRFA be removed (copy attached). The applicant decided to request a density
variance in an attempY to gain approval to allow the GRFA to remain.
The allowable GRF,4 for the property is 4,700 sq.ft.. The approved plans indicate that 4,689 sq.fY.
of GRFA was approved. The applicant converted existing enclosed area above the garage,
labeled as "open to below^ space on the approved plans, to GRFA. The conversion adds 200 sq.fY.
of GRFA to the duplex, for a new GRFA total of 4,889 sq.ft. Thus, the applicant is Pequesting a
density variance Yo allow for an addi4ional 189 sq.f4. of GRFA on the pPOperty.
91. CRPTERtA ~P9D F06dDiP9('sS
Upon revieuv of the criteria and findings contained in 5ection 18.62.060 of the Vail Municipal Code,
the Community Devetopment Department recommends denial of the requested density variance
based upon the following factors: '
A. Consideration of Fa tnrs:
1• The PeIa$GoP9Sh1p Of the PeqUeS4ed HaPIaP1Ce QO 0$heP ekYS$9ng oP PO$EP8t9aB QJSes
and sgruCguPes in the vicini4y.
SYaff believes that the proposed density variance would set a negative precedent if
approved. Granting a density variance would reward the applicant for converting
"open to below" or vaulted space to GRFA by adding a floor: Also, variance
approval would reward the deceptive practice of initiating consteuction wiihouY the
appropriate Town approvals.
1
;
e
Aiso, in some cases owners are deliberately designing vaulted ceilings over such
areas as garages, pfanning ahead for unpermitted conversion to GRFA at a later
date. Staff believes that if such practices are errcouraged (by granting this
variance), that we coufd add significantly to the mass and bulk of structures
throughout Town.
2. The degree to which relief froen the strict and literal interpretatuon and
enforcement of a specified regulation is neciassary to achieve compatibility
and unifotmity of treatment aenong sites in tlhe vicinity or to attain the -
objectives of this title writhout grant of special privilege.
Staff finds that the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of the GRFA
regulations is extremely important to achieve coimpatibility and uniformiry of
treatment among various properties in Town. Granting the requested variance
would be a grant of special privilege, and would tend to encourage other
unpermitted conversions. This would not only be detrimental to the enforcement of
the Zoning Code, but it could also result in unsafe construction, built without the
normal inspections by TOV building officials to Ensure that building codes are
observed.
3. The effect of the requestecd variance on light and air, distributiom of population,
transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and ptnblic
safety.
Staff does not believe that the requested varianc;e would have any affect on the
above referenced criteria.
B. The Plannina and Environmentai Commission shall mak;e the following findinos before
grantina a variance: '
1. That the granting of the variance will not constituite a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties c{assified in .the same district.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrirnental to the public health, safety
or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the fotlowing reasons:
a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation
would result in practical difficulty or unnec:essary physicat hardship
inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circ:umstances or conditions
applicable to the same site of the variance that doe not apply generally to
other properties in the same zone.
c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the ovimers of other properties in the same district. .

000. STAFF RECOAAMENDAT9ANe
S4aff is recommending denaaB of the applicants' request for a density variance 4o allow #or the
construction of additional GRFA within an existing primary/secondary residence, located a4 3130
Booth Falls Court/Unit A, Lot 6, Block 2, Vai1 Village 12th Filing. Staff finds fhat the applicant's
requesY does not meet the variance criteria listed above, and specifically 4hat the strict and literal
interpre4ation and enforcernenf of the density regulations is necessary to avoid a grant of special
privilege, thaY could have significant ramifications 4o the community if the same.privilege is applied
to other properties throughout Town. Fur%hermore, staff finds that there is no special circumstance
or physical hardship Yhat applies to the subjecf property 4hat would warranY granting the requested . variance.
The applicant is hereby made aware that if the PEC denies the requested variance, that the
unpermitted GRFA will have to be removed within 14 days of the PEC decision. The applicant has
aIready been granted a perrmit to remove the GRFA in question, wi4h the stipulation tha4 a
registered contractor must pertorm the work.

Dear Planning Commissions
In support of this application for a Variance, stamped,
addressed envelopes for adjacent property.owners are
enclosedo
A. This is a request for a Variance from GRFA Density.
control (18e12e090) of the Two-Family Residential (R)
District zoning regulations (18e12)o There exists completely
internal, windowed space above our garage ("open space")
which we very much need to convert to bedroom space for our 5
month oId childo
Ale There is no relationship of the "requested variance to
other existing or potential uses and structures in the
vicinity," because we are merely trying to use preexisting
space.
A2. Strict or literal interpretation of the GRFA density
controls prevents our utilization of preexisting internal
housing which creates a situation which is 180 degrees
opposite from the stated purpose of the two-family
residential zonee
Application of the regulation causes practical difficulty and
hardship for our family because we need space for our new
• child.
There is no special privilege involved since granting the
requested variance has no effect on other property ownerso
Also, it is common knowledge that other sites in Vail include
similar finished space.
The topography of our site includes a steep S curve driveway
encompassing more that 50% of the sitee The adjacent site
home is also within 15 feet of our property. Thus, it was
impractical for the original contractor to build a house with
a lay out more appropriate to our family and new childe A
structure with one or two levels like others in the vicinity
would have obviated our present neecl for living spaceo
, .
r
, Y
A3. There is no effect on light and aix, distribution of
population, transportation, traffic fac:ilities, utilities,
and public safety. Since safety includes our own, having our
new born as close as possible to family living quarters is
important since she required supplement:al oxygen for her
first four months of life. It is likel~? that any respiratory
. illness will also result in her requiring oxygene
A4: Since I presume part of Vail's ComF>gehensive Plan is to
. prevent out migration, this variance urould help achieve that
goal.
B. Interior modification only.
C. Site plan included.
. D. No change to exterior structure is proposed. Internal
modification plans enclosed.
E. Permanent title on file with Town and Eagle County
F. Not applicable.
Finally, the project is presently 90$ aomplete! Having
finished interior projects twice in New Hampshire
homes(government approval not requisite), I was unaware of
Vail's requirement for approval to use interior space. This
is apparently a frequent problem in Vail. It has become
evident while researching our own situation that houses with
"illegal" space and projects without "piarmits" are
.widespread.
I believe it is very reasonable and fai:r for the planning
commission to approve our request.
Thank you for considering this application.
Sincerely,

REo Unauthorized construction at the Shiffren ltesidence, 3130
Booth Fa11s Court/Lot 60 Block 2, Vail Villaqe 12th F'il.inq
Dear Mr, and Mrs. Shiffren:
This letter is intended to document the discussions which- took
place during my meeting with Ilene on Monday., July 24, 1995 and my
phone conversation with Jef£ on August 2, 1995, as well as to
outline the process which must be followed to resolve the above
ref erenced building and zoning code violations.
On Monday, July 25, 1995 Ilene informed me that the Vail Fire
Department had responded to an alarm at your house and discovered
construction activity occuring without beZefit of the proper
permits (ie. building, electrical, etc.). The following day a Stop
work Notice (red tag) was posted at your residence by Chuck
Feldmann (vail Building Inspector). Ilene said that when she
called the Town offices Chuck explained that before.applying for a
permit she should meet with one. of the Town Planners. Upon
explaining the extent of the construction.work to me, I told Ilene
that since no exterior changes were made, or proposed to be made,
to the residence, Design Review Board approval was not necessary.
However, I did point out that the work definitely required the
proper permits and inspections.
I told Ilene that another issue relating to the construction was
confirmation that sufficient gross residential floor area (GRFA) is
available to allow her to do the expansion. I reviewed the.file
for the property and discovered that there was onl approximately
11 square feet of GRFA remaining on the lote I then informed Ilene
that the unauthorized additional floor area would have to be
retftoved.
I also,pointed out to Ilene that the Town had receatly dealt with
this issue vahen the general contractor dvho built the house (Johney
Mueiler) "added the same room(s) to the building and was stopped at
~ ~ R£CYCLED PAPER

~
Mr. and Mrs. Jeff and Ilene Shiffrin Page 2
the framinq inspection stage. Mr. Mueller was required to remove
the floor (or a substantial portion of tlhe floor) in order to open
the space up to the garage below.
_ Ilene asked what options would be available. to remedy the. si.tuation
short of removinq.the illegally construc:ted improvement5. I told
her that the house was too new to qualify for the "250" addtion but
that she could remove GRFA from some othear portion of the'property
to compensate for the new area added above the garage. I also
• pointed out that it was highly unlikely t:hat a GRFA variance.would
be approved since the criteria for qrantxxiq a density variance did
not appear to be met in this instance.
On Auqus t 2, 1995, I spoke wi th Jef f on the telephone. I explained
that the purpose of my phone call was to obtain your mailinq
address so that I could send you written instructions on.the steps
which must be taken to reso.lve the vio:lation. Jeff also asked
about the possibility of &-variance. Ipointed that although you
have a right. to apply, the criteria for gz-anting a variance did not
seem to be satisfied in this case. I a].so told Jeff that I felt
that the violation needed to be corrected immediately, even if he
intends to apply for a variance and that T would confirm this with
the Town Attorney, which I have, prior t(D this letter beinq sent.
Although the building and zoning code violations occuring at your
residence are subject to fines of up to $1,000.00 per day and/or 90
days in jail for each day the violation c.ontinues, the Department
of Community Development staff has decided to postpone issuinq you
a citation provided the followinq steps are immediately taked to
resolve this matter:
1. Apply for a buildinQ Permit - A complete building.permit
. application must b.e submit,ted.. The permit would allow
you to proceed with the remo-val of the unauthorized improvements. The permi [ request must be received by the
Town within 10 days of receipt of this certified letter.
2. work must be performed bv a registered contractor - All
demolition activity must be performed by a contractor who
is registered (licensed) to wo=-}c in the Town of Vai-1.
3. Completion of work - The area above the garage must be
returned the its original condition within 14 days after
you receive an approved Town of Vail building permit.
As previously mentioned, the Town is wil:ling to postpone issuing
you a citation for your building and zoninq code violations in
order to allow you to correct the prolblem. We are however,
proceeding with enforcement action agai.ast the contractor who
performed the wozk. If you fail to requevt a buildinq permit, or
3

will have no choice but to issue you a citation to appear in

Jeffrey S. Shiffrin
October 16, 1995
Town of Vail Council
Dear Council Member:
In support of our application for a GRFA variance and this appeal to Town
Council, please consider the following comments and rebuttal.
1. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION The area in question is not yet "habitable space°°. Had I been fully aware of
the unusual regulations in Vail, construction would not have been started
and it is not likely we would have purchased this house. We did not seek
°'design revievv approval or a building permit,°° because I had done sirriilar
projects in Rlevv Hampshire vvhere regulations simply state you must
follow applicable building codes. I am sorry for this reversed approach.
II. CRITERIA AfVD FIfVDIiVGS
I do not believe that approval will set °'negative precedent.°"Denial
perpetuates negative precedent because it unfairly infringes on our needs
for adequate living space as our family has grown. This is contrary to TOV
goals and the purpose of the zoning ordinances. I think it an unsuitable
and possibly risky designation to label such home use as "illegal.°" Internal
space has no effect on "mass and bulk of structures throughout Town."
Strict and literal interpretation of an outdated or deleterious regulation
is poor policy. If a specific. regulation creates results contrary to the principal goals of zoning ordinance, strict interpretation leads to unfair
treatment. llUhile enforcement may achieve the appearance of uniformity
and compatibility; the facts suggest otherwise. I have not found one '
person in Vail who is not aware of °'illegal" space. fVo one outside of Vail
can even believe such regulations exist. A tour of ongoing construction in
todvn makes one question the contention of "cornpatibility and uniformity
of treatment among various properties in Tovvn."
Granting this variance will also not constitute special privilege since the
need for living space for our child is uniquely our own. This particularfy
true since she required supplemental oxygen for her first four months and
now again during a respiratory infection. The optimal and safest situation
vvill be a room in close proximity to family living quarters.
e
;
r
It is hard to imagine someone building "unsafe construction" for their ovvn
use. This partly explains my ignorance of the requirement for a permit to
complete internal vvork. Ignorance is a vveak excuse, so again I apologize
and have thanked the planners and PEC for their understanding.
In sunnmary;
1. A variance is requested as the best method to work within the system.
It will not set °'negative precedent" but rather helps achieve laudable
goals such as encouraging families to live in Vail and recognizing the
benefit of equitable versus literal interpretation of regulations. ,4pproval
will not constitute special privilege. It wilf demonstrate the
appropriateness of interpreting specific regulations in the context of
overall zoning premises.
2. Approval will not be °'detrimental to the public health, safety or
vvelfare, or materially injurious to properties or irriprovements in the
vicinity." It is more likely that denial yvill be detrimental to our child's
health, safety or welfare and will be a major stress to my family.
3. The variance is warranted for the following reasons:
Strict interpretation does result in a practical difficulty and unnecessary
hardship. Namely the lack of a bedroom for my child.
I do not know if other properties or ovuners in the district have "unusable
space" or if they have children with oxygen requirements or who need
. sleeping quarters. If so, I hope they would receive variance approval. It
can not be that zoning ordinances were written to keep people from having
adequate living space.
Finally, if you disagree vvith my assertions concerning variance approval .
please consider an alternative approach. I now understand that after
°'five" years we can apply for an additional 250 sq. feet of GRFA. Since the
TOV is not in the famify planning business such a tirne restriction seems
arbitrary and unfair. How can space be illegal now, but legal tomorrow or
next week or in two years? It would therefore be reasonable to grant a
"250" approval °°early°' for the reasons above and thus satisfy our needs.
This space is very important to us, or I'd have given up long ago.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey S. Shiffrin

SUBJECT: Town Manager's Report
Main Vail Revegetation Project
The cut slope at the main Vail exit has been revegetated by Vail Associates. This project was
completed last week. The slope was revegetated using a hydra seed mix and was done by the staff
at Vail Associates. It will be next spring before we see the results of this effort.
Wildflower Plantina
Several weeks ago Tom Steinberg suggested we contact a wildflower seed grower from Alamosa
about obtaining seed to revegetate construction areas, particularly along the Frontage Roads and
at Dowd Junction. Todd Oppenheimer has spoken to Dean Swift from Alamosa regarding this
project. Mr. Swift grows and sells wildflower seeds. The straw is a byproduct of a seed operation.
Mr. Swift indicated this would not be effective to use this product for roadside revegetation. He
stated the straw contains only a minimum amount of seed that cannot be removed during his
harvesting operation. Because there are stems from various wildflower plants and not grass
material, it would also be ineffective as erosion control along these areas. We are currently
exploring whether to actually plant wildflowers in the areas we have been discussing.
World Cup Update
We will be hosting a World Cup skiing event IVovember 16-19, 1995. In early season training, we
hosted approximately 120 skiers; this year we believe there will be approximately 210. The U.S.
team will arrive November 4th and the foreign competitors start training on the 9th. It appears we
will have competitors from between 16 and 21 countries represented.
Pulis Bridge Update
The Department of Transportation opened bids last week on the Pulis Bridge project, with five
contractors bidding. The apparent low bidder was Dukels Construction from Steamboat Spring,
with a bid of $428,000. The engineer's estimate for this project was $473,000. The project is
estimated to start on April 8, 1996, and to be completed by IVlay 30, 1996.
RECYCLED PAPER
f7
b .
The majority of the funds for this project are coming from the Department of Transportation. The
Town of Vail will contribute approximately $150,000 towa.rd this project.
Gas Line Construction
Last week at the Council meeting there were several comments made regarding the work by Public
Service Company on the gas line in the vicinity of the Seibert Circle area. We have looked into this
matter and have the following information for you. Public Service had to do this work at this time
because neither Serrano's nor the Golden Peak House had gas service. Service was cut off in the
spring due to the construction of the Golden Peak House project. Public Service will be back to get
in the permanent patch prior to winter. We will continue to work with Public Service in order to
minimize the impacts of this work on the village merchants. Besides restoring gas service to these
properties, Public Service Company also took the opportunity of raising original gas lines from 9 ft.
to the current approved 36".
Firefighters/Peace Officer Comparison
During the budget session last week, several Council members asked about the responsibilities and
pay associated with firefighter positions and peace officer positions. The Human Resources
Department is currently working on an internal equity study which will address this question. This
study will conclude the middle of December. We will then make a complete report to the Council
on all issues regarding external and internal equity with respect to compensation.
Railroad Right-Of-Way Update
This week I spoke to David Steele, who is the President of Southern Pacific Real Estate. Mr. Steele
provided the following information regarding the right-of-way abandonment. He indicated that on
or before December 1, 1996, the request for merger between Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
Railroads will be submitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) for their approval. They
also intend to submit with the merger request the request to vacate the right-of-way from Dotsero to Canon City. Mr. Steele indicated the right-of-way varied in width between 50 and 200 ft. He also
indicated that there were a variety of ownership patterns, including grants from the U.S. Congress,
fee simple ownerships, and easements. Finally, he stated it was the intention of the railroad to
remove rails, ties, and ballast.
I indicated there was a great deal of interest in Eagle County that this right-of-way remain in public
ownership. I also indicated that we were unsure at this time whether it would be a bike path or there
would be an effort made to provide commuter service up and down the valley. Mr. Steele said I
should stay in contact with him and he will keep us advised as this process proceeds. Please note
there will be a meeting on October 25, 1996, in Edwards to discuss this matter. This meeting is
being sponsored by the Eagle County Commissioners. Larry Grafel and I plan to attend this
meeting and will advise you of its outcome.

Dear Mr. Lindholm:
I have completed discussion with both the Town Council of Vail and the Eagle Va11ey Recreation
District Board of Directors concerning the possible sale of the Fifth Filing parcel in Edwards,
Colorado.
The concept you and I discussed contemplated the sale of the 110-115 acres on the condition that
all of the parcel would be utilized for equestrian uses, polo fields, parking lot doubling as park and
ride site and would be permanently preserved as natural habitat, "open space" through dedication
of an appropriate conservation easement. The currently approved sketch plan by Eagle County
contemplates 91 units of employee housing on a parcel to be designated in the final plat. An
alternate parcel of land capable of accommodating employee housing would be supplied at a new
location by the purchaser of the Fifth Filing.
Both the Vail Council and the Recreation District Board agreed unanimously to pursue discussion
and negotiation of a sale that would accomplish the above outlined concept. I understand that you
are desirous of a short due diligence opportunity to evaluate the possibility of complying with such
requirements.
RECYCLED PAPER
Please advise me at your earliest convenience when we might hear from you regarding your intention
to pursue discussion and/or purchase negotitations. Thank you for your interest in adding such a
valuable facility ot the Vail Valley.
Sincerely,
4R. AIL

!l~IL TOWN COUNC9L FIIGIiLBGHTS FOR OCTOBER 90
1filork Sessuon Briefs
Council members present: Johnston, Lapin, Navas, Osterfoss, Strauch
--Budget Review/Municipal Court
During a review of the proposed budget for Municipal Court, the Council heard from
Judge Buck Allen of an increased need for court-appointed counsel and interpreters for
individuals who don't speak English. Allen said the county's changing demographics
have created the need for the increased services. In other matters, Council members
said they were pleased to hear that a large mix of cases were being handled in
municipal court rather than referred to the county court.
--Budget Review/Police Department
Retention of patrol officers dominated yesterday's discussion during the Police
Department presentation. Acting Police Chief Jeff Layman said the town's investment
to recruit and send officers through a 14-week basic training program is about $42,000
per person. Since 1984, the town has lost about five patrol officers a year. Layman
said the department will analyze the issue in an attempt to address the top factors
which have caused officers to leave the Vail PD. The department will also identify
factors which have caused other officers to stay in Vail. Layman said the data could
help develop a candidate profile to help predict applicants who are more likely to
remain with the Vail Police Department, which would maximize the town's training and
recruitment investment. Several Council members said they supported the concept of a
contract for the new officers and bringing new officers on board at higher salaries to
compete with Front Range police officer markets. The presentation also included
clarification regarding 911 emergency access via ce9auoao° phones. Dia1 911 as you
would on a regular phone, says Tom Collins, communications manager. However, the
line could be busy if someone else is using a cell phone to access the Vail Dispatch -
Center. If the line is busy, Gollins said, cellular users shoufd dial 1m919 which will
activate another "cell" provided by U-S VUest. Other issues discussed included: interest
by the Eagle County Sheriff's Office to contract with the town to provide dispatch

services once the Eagle-based Colorado State Patrol dispatch center is relocated to
Craig; the police confiscation fund, which provides fundirig for a drug enforcement
detective, will run out of money in 1997 and could cause slimination of the program;
although a 1993 work analysis indicated a need for five additional patrol officers, the
department hasn't increased its staffing since 1991 (Jan Strauch asked to see a 10
year staffing and budget analysis for the department); and Council members agreed to
lobby the Colorado State Patrol for an increase in staffing to adequately patrol I-70
between Vail Pass and Dowd Junction.
--Budget Review/Library
After hearing an overview from Library Director Annie Fax, the Council pledged to
review four issues next spring in anticipation of the 1997 budget. Those issues include:
the impact of the Avon Library on the Vail facility; the evolving role of technology and
Internet services; space requirements and demands; and alternatives involving a library
district. Fox said the Vail Library has been serving as many as 140,000 visitors per
year in a facility designed to accommodate about 60,000 users. The Vail Library is
funded through the town's general operating fund, while the Eagle County Libraries are
funded by a 2.75 mill levy assessed throughout the rema.inder of the county. --Budget Review/Administration ,
During a review of the Administrative Seryices budget praposal (finance, information
systems, risk management, human resources, town clerk;, community information), the
Council heard about plans to: improve the town's community outreach program; replace
the town's accounting computer software; explore increased revenue sources; and
create a cafeteria-style benefits program for employees.
--Budget Review/Fire Department
After viewing a humorous video exploring."Dave's Top 10 LisY' for the Vail Fire
Department, the Council reviewed statistical information showing various workload
indicators and the volume of response calls. With staffing levels unchanged from 1982,
Fire Chief Dick Duran said the safety of the departmenY:> personnel is being
compromised due to minimum sfaffing levels and the redluced availability of off-duty
personnel. In addition, service levels are threatened due to the frequency of multiple
alarms occurring at the same time, he said. Town Manager Bob McLaurin agreed with
Duran's staffing assessment and acknowledged the need for a West Vail fire station.
Additional firefighters will be needed to staff the station, un addition to the six student
firefighter positions planned for the West Vail fire station. The project is currently
budgeted in the 1997 capital improvements budget. Two locations are currently under
consideration. Also yesterday, the Council encouraged 1:he department to research a
method to recover some of its costs for emergency medical services. The department
spends nearly 26 percent of its operating budget, or about $313,000, on emergency
medical assistance in cooperation with the Eagle County Ambulance District.

Council Highlights/Add 2
--Budget Review/AIPP
After hearing from Kathy Langenwalter of the Art in Public Places Board, the Council
authorized a budget of $15,000 for 1996. The allocation includes $5,000 for a yet-to-
-be-named AIPP coordinator to help with grant writing and fund raising, plus $10,000 in
project and maintenance/repair funds. The program, once administered by the
Community Development Department, is being restructured in a way that will continue
AIPP's autonomy. Board members are appointed by the Town Council.
--Vertical Marketing/Celtic Festival VVrap-Up
The Council voted 5-0 to release $20,000 to Tom Britz of Vertical fVlarketing to help
cover Celtic Festival expenses, so long as the Special Events Commission
recommends approval of his request. Britz has submitted a$20,000 funding request
for 1996, but has asked to receive the funds in advance. Overall, the September Celtic
Festival was a success for a first-year event, drawing moderate crowds and
enthusiastic competitors, according to Britz. He said sales taxes should exceed
$60,000 this year and could grow to $200,000 to $250,000 in the festival's fourth or fifth
year. Frank Johnson and Bill Brice of the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau
were on hand to support the request from Britz, noting the Special Events Commission
may need to provide seed money for up to three years for events to become successful
on their "own. Britz said the evenYs second year should produce some major sponsors
to help offset expenses. According to a budget summary presented at yesterday's
meeting, the event lost about $17,000 this year, but is projected to earn nearly $38,000
next year. In that case, the festival would agree to return any seed money appropriated
by the Special Events Commission.
--Regional Transportation
The Council reviewed a regional transportation funding scenario presented by Public
Works/Transportation Director Larry Grafel. Under a situation in which the sales tax
issue, fails to win approval in iVovember and the Town of Vail contemplates operation of
the proposed regional system, the costs would include the following: $200,000 to cover
the remainder of 1996 service; $2 million in 1997, which includes $1 million in capital
costs; and $1.3 to $1.5 million per year for future years. Mayor Peggy Osterfoss, in
particular, had asked for the analysis in preparation for a presentation to the Vail
Village Nierchants Association at a 3 p.m. meeting this afternoon. The variable costs
would fund service to Leadville, Gypsum, Edwards, Highway 6, Beaver Creek to Vail,
and Beaver Creek parking lot to Vail.
--Budget Wrap-Up
The Council finalized contribution requests totaling $793,305 including a$7,500
maximum allocation to The Chamber of Commerce. Funding for the Trees for Vail
program, which had been previously eliminated within the Public Works Department
budget, will be restored through an allocation from recreational fees. An ordinance .
establishing the town's 1996 budget will be considered for first reading at the Oct. 17
evening meeting. Town Manager Bob McLaurin told Council members if revenues

. ~Council Highlights/Add 3
exceed expenditures during the winter, he'll bring a proposal to the Council for
consideration of the possibility of a pay adjustment for employees. Currently, the 1996
budget contains a salary freeze due to predictions of zero sales tax growth.
--Council Compensation The Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance increEiaing salaries from $200 per
month to $500 per month for Council members and from $500 per month to $1,000 per
month for the mayor to become effective in two years. Council members said the
increases are justified to cover weekly expenses such as day care and substitute
staffing. Also, a two year delay would provide equity for aII council members (otherwise
those elected in 1993 would receive a lower amount whilie those elected in 1995 would
receive the higher amount) and would respect the 1996 salary freeze for town
employees. Council salaries haven't been increased sinc,e 1981. Several members
say the adjustment will make it easier for community members to serve in public office.
The ordinance will be considered for first reading at the C)ct. 17 evening meeting.
--Other Using a gas line project on Bridge Street as a recent example, Jan Strauch asked that
communications be increased between the town and utilii:y companies to improve the
- coordination of construction projects.
,
--Vail Commons Petition Update
The Council agreed to hold a hearing at the Oct. 17 evening Town Council meeting to ;
receive testimony in determining if the Vail Commons petition request for master
planning is an administrative action (and thus, not subject to a public vote) or a
legislative action. Following the arguments, the Council will then be asked to render a
decision on the master planning ordinance proposed by the petitioners. The hearing
will begin at 6:30 p.m. and is expected to include testimony from Carol Curtis, legal
counsel for the Common Sense Committee, and Town Atl:orney Tom Moorhead, among
others. .

FOLL0WIiVG SUCCESSFUL SESSIONS IN AUGUST
(Vail)--The Town of Vail and Vail Associates will offer another community workshop next week
to help local businesses increase accessibility for individuals with disabilifiies. The free
accessibility forum, called "fViaking Sense of the Americans with Disabilities AcY" (ADA), will be
presented from 9 a.m. to noon Friday, Oct. 20, in the Vail Towrn Council Chambers. .
The class is being repeated due to continued interest from business owners and other senrice
providers throughout the valley. A workshop series in August drew about 50 participants,
including several business owners who have used the information to make modest
improvements to their establishments.
The workshop provides creative and cost-effectiv.e tips to improve access and _service for
individuals with disabilities. In many cases, the solutions are easy, cost effective and can benefit
many customers, including older patrons and children in strollers. Suggestions on barrier
removal, alternatives to barrier removal, signs, restrooms, parking and guest services will be
discussed. Also, each participant will receive an ADA implementation and resource manual.
The forum will be presented by Michelle Caster, the town's ADA coordinator and Judi
Anderson-Wright, coordina4or of resources for individuals with disabilities, at Vail Associates.
For more information, or 4o make a reservation for the free accessibility workshop, contact the
Tovvn of Vail at 479-2114.

Dear Piet:
The Vail Town Council at their work session on Tuesday, October 10, 1995, requested two days
from their John Dobson Ice Arena days available be allocated to the Vail Valley Foundation in
conjunction with ski racing events. Those two dates are as follows:
1995 Chevy Truck International Ski Festival, November 16, 1995
American Ski Classic, March 14, 1996 "
It is my understanding from a discussion with Kirk Hanson on Wednesday morning at our Special
Events Commission meeting that hard costs, i.e., put up and take down, for the arena are $1,500.00.
The Foundation has agreed to pay those hard costs associated with the two events.
Should you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF VAIL

Dear PeggY: ,
As I'm sure you are awaze, we are expecting a delegation from St. Moritz to amve in Vaiike
night of Wednesday, November 15, and depart on November 19, 1995.
There are a number of gatherings and events in which we hope you, as Mayor, will want to
participate.
To keep you up to date, a tentative itinerary for the group is enclosed. We have not yet
received a final list of individuals who are coming. Hanspeter has projected a group of 32
persons, including 8 journalists.
Of special importance is the Official St. Moritz Welcome, scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on
Thursday, November 16, in the Ivlountain Room at the Vail Athletic Club. Also, the St. Moritz
Reception, on Friday, November 17, at 6:00 p. m. in the Colorado Ski Museum. We plan to
hold a. "Sister City Conference" on' Saturday, November 18, in the Town of Avon Council
Chambers from approximately 1:15 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
You will note, from the schedule, that we are planning "dine-around" dinners on the evening
" of November 17, immediately following the reception at the Ski Museum. Several individuals
in the community have volunteered to host 4 to 6 St. Moritz guests in their homes on that
occasion. In order to complete our planning, we would like to know if you are interested in
servirg as host for one of these small groups. (We do have some funds in the budget for host
reimbursement at $30 per guest, if desired.)
IVaturally, you are invited to participate with the group at any time. Please give me a call to
let us know how much you would like, to be involved and whether or not we may expect you
to attend the "official" functions. N1y "VA" card is attached with conect phone/fax numbers.
We are in the process of developing the graphics package for Vail Valley Exchange and so have

Thank you for your letter regarding the Forest Service sale of the ski areas. I value your
opinion and I'm glad you took the time to write.
I agree that this fire sale would be a mistake and I share many of the same oppositions as
you. Enclosed is the letter that I wrote to Senator Murkowski and Representative Young.
I believe that it adequately represents my views on this proposal.

h„The Honorable Frank Murkowski c,,,,,,•,,,,,,
Chairman
Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
304 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20007
Dear Chairman Murkowski:.
In Congress' rush to reduce the deficit, it is considering
some bad ideas. Included among these is the proposed fire
sale of public lands underlying ski areas. I oppose the
attachment to the federal budget reconciliation bill that
would force the Forest Service to sell ski area leased public
lands to the private operators.
As a general rule, most ski areas in Colarado operate under a
land ownership pattern where the private sector owns the base
lands and the Forest Service owns the ski mountain. This
system has worked well to promote necessary base area
development and communities, but has at the same time assured
that the ski mountains will remain permanently available for
winter and summer recreation free of housing, private clubs,
convention centers or other intensive d.evelopments that are
inappropriate at higher elevations for both environmental and
aesthetic reasons. In short, the Forest Service has done a
good job of keeping the ski mountains available for public
recreational use and enjoyment, and I see no reason to disrupt
the relationship between the Forest Service and ski area
operators_built over many decades.
If the ski mountains are sold to the private sector, the
public would not be assured that the mountains would remain
ded.-cated and open to public recreation. Further,
privatization of the ski mountains could be accomplished by
closure of mountain facilities to the general public and their
becoming available only to dues-paying °club" members.
Privatization of ski mountains could also mean that they might
be closed to hunting, hiking, fishing and other recreation, or
be available..on a pay-only basis. In my opinion, these
possible consequences do not constitute acceptable uses of
what are now public lands.
I am also extremely concerned that if National Forest lands
are sold to the mountain . operators, it would be almost
~ impossible to establish a sale price which would ensure a fair
market value return to taxpayers. The language I have
•f
seen directs that the ski permits be appraised "based on the
continued use of the land as a ski area." Such an appraisal could
. result in lands being sold for $2,000-$3,000 per acre. If later
. subdivided and resold, the same land could return up to $2-3
million per acre (which is what prime "ski-in/ski-out° lots at the
base of Vail and Aspen now bring on the open market). There is no
doubt in my mind that taxpayers would lose tremendous value from
this arrangement.
I am also concerned t.hat the privatization of ski mountains would
make it very difficult for resort communities to manage growth,
provide adequate facilities and services, and maintain the quality .
of life that they have worked hard to achieve. Moreover, the
impacts on transportation systems, especially traffic along I-70,
air and water quality, and wildlife habitat could be very
significant. All of these need to be carefully considered before
ski area lands are placed in private ownership.
As a final note, it is important to remember that the current
system of special use permits and fee collections is a significant
revenue generator for the U.S. Treasury. In fiscal year 1994, the
Forest Service Region 2 office collected about $10 million from ski
area operators while spending less than $1 million administering
the programs.
In summary, I believe the proposal to sell National Forest ski
mountains to the ski area operators is not in the public interest.
The Forest Service has done an admirable job of working with the
ski industry to produce a vigorous and healthy ski industry in our
state, while at the same time protecting the mountair_ envir.onment
and sanctity of the public lands for public use. Ski area
operators have worked hard with the Forest Service to protect the
lands natural beauty and environmental integrity. I see no reason
to break up this successful partnership simply to enhance the
federal government's short term cash flow. Colorado's 1Vational
Fo.rest ski mountains are, national treasures which provide
recreation for more than 10 million'skiers annually. They should
remain in public hands.
Sincerely,
Roy om .

~~~SUM-TOm!lAOL EXPRESS SH@FTS TO PEAK SERi/ICE BEGINNIBVG IVO!!. 20
(Vail)--The Gypsum-to-Vail Express, connecting residents in Gypsum and Eagle to
their jobs and activities in Avon and Vail, will return to peak service beginning Nov. 20.
The service has been operating at non peak levels since the close of ski season in
April. VUinter routes and fees will remain unchanged from last season.
With the return of peak service on fVov. 20, a two-bus schedule will be maintained
through the end of ski season, April 14, 1996. The route will begin in Gypsum at 5:45
and 6:45 a.m. with stops in Eagle, Avon and Vail. Afternoon departures from Vail and
Avon will begin at 4:30 and 5:30 p.m.
The current non peak route, which runs through IVov. 19, begins at 6:45 a.m. in
Gypsum and departs from Vail at 4:30 p.m.
The commuter bus service was launched as an experimental program last IVovember
by the Eagle County Commissioners with operational assistance from the Town of Vail.
Since then, the daily service has transported about 13,500 passengers in its 11 months
of continuous operation. Fare box recovery is running between 15 and 17 percent.
A funding pledge of $45,000 from Eagle County and $40,000 from the Town of Vail

October 11, 1995 Dear QQ IVYember:
The Northwest Colorado Council of Governments' Water Quanrity and Quality Program (QQ) has had a busy year. Vde would like to take this opportunity to update you on recent QQ activity
and alert you to a staffing change in the program.
SBa, f ang Clsaosges
Due to membersiup interest in seeing the QQ program brought back in-house to improve
coordination with the NWCCOG VElater Quality Program, a change in the staffing of the program
will be taiCing place starting this month. The new program director is made up of a team of three
. people, two of whom have been involved in the QQ program in the past. The team, comprised of
Barbara Green, Lane Wyatt, and IVTonique Gilbert, will phase into the position over the next two months.
Bcarbara Greerr has served as a legal counsel for QQ for over ten years and has tremendous
experience and history with the program. Under this staffng arrangement, we will be able to
utilize Barbara's skills and creativity in policy development and other matters, in addition to

The Honorable Margaret A. Osterfoss
Mayor, Town of Vail
75 South Frontage Road
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Mayor Osterfoss e
The final Resources Committee proposal on budget
reconciliation included a provision that the Agriculture
Secretary propose the sale of 40 ski areas nationwide after five
years of consultation with state and local officialso Since that
time, Committee Chairman Don Young has suggested he might drop
this provision. A similar proposal was dropped from the Senate
budget reconciliation package.
I did not vote on this proposal due to a long-scheduled
meeting with the Chief of Staff of the Army concerning military
medical affairs in Colorado. Had I been there, I would have
voted against the privatization plan as being counterproductive
to deficit reductione The Forest Service presently puts $37
million into recreation activities in Colorado and gets $11
million back. Of that $11 million, $8 million comes from three
ski areas, which break even. It makes little sense to eliminate
those government activities which break even before cutting
spending on other recreational activities or finding ways of
making them more profitable.
The second half of the House Resources proposal included a
ski reform package that should provide a simpler fee schedule,
more revenue and an end to fees collected far downstream of
Forest Service resorts. Hopefully, this will stay in the final
budget reconc'iliation.

Dear Peggy and Council members:
Thank you for your input regarding a proposal to sell U.S.
Forest Service land to ski resorts. I wanted you to know that I
have received and reviewed your message.
. You have identified some important points, and I agree with
you. Currently, the Forest Service, ski areas and the local
communities have a stable relationship within Colorado. If.the
proposal to sell Forest Service land to the ski resorts remained
intact, it would have endangered the long-standing relationship
currently in place.
Furthermore, selling Forest Service land to ski resorts
would have been very short-sighted and not in the best interest
of the local communities. I have enclosed a copy of an article
that appeared in The Rockv Mountain News which echoes my
concerns.
, Again, thank you for taking the time to let me know your
concerns. I am committed to seeking the input of the people in
the state and appreciate your role in that process.
erely,
cott McInnis
Member of Congress .

Mayor Peggy Osterfoss
Town of Vail
75 S. Frontage Rd.
Vail, CO 81657 ~ Your Honorable Mayor Osterfoss, ~
As you know, Public Service Company will refund a total of $81 million to its natural gas customers this
fall as a result of lower then expected natural gas prices, settlements from its suppliers and unusual weather
during the past year. The purpose of this letter is to explain when those refunds will take place and to
estimate the impact they will have on the franchise fees and related sales taxes PSCo collects on behalf of
Vail. The first refund, which is a pass through of refunds PSCo received from its gas suppliers, will appear as a
credit on customer bills in mid-October. The second refund, which is the annual adjustment PSCo makes to
pass gas supply costs through to our customers on a dollar-for-dollar basis, will appear as a credit on
customer bills in late November.
In Addition to these refunds, PSCo has received regulatory approval to lower natural gas rates by
approximately $66 million in the coming year.
The refunds described above will reduce the franchise fees and sales taxes PSCo collects. For the balance of
1995, we wiil debit your franchise fee account by approximately $10,850.00. We will debit your
corresponding sales tax account by an estimated $37,590.00.
Because our customers will be paying approximately $66 million less for natural gas next year, you should
also anticipate a reduction in revenues from franchise fees and corresponding sales taxes for 1996. For
, calendar year 1996 we estimate the impact will be $2360.00 for franchise fees and $3380.00 for sales taxes.
We realize the lost revenue to Vail is not welcomed news. Nevertheless, PSCo and the Colorado Public
Utilities Commission believe it is the company's responsibility to pass any significant savings gained
because of declining natural gas costs on to our customers on a dollar-for-dollar basis. We hope you can
appreciate and support that position.
If you have any questions about the customer refunds or the estimated franchise fees, please call me at 970-
262-4001.
Sincerely
Paui A. Hage
