BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Please see the attached memorandum from the staff to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated December 11, 1995 and Exhibits A-F attached to that memorandum. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance No. 2, Series of 1996 as presented. 8:10 P.M. 4. An appeal to the Town Council, pursuant to Section 18.54.090 of the George Ruther Municipal Code, of the Design Review Board decision to deny the Oleson/Volinn duplex separation request for a proposed residence to be constructed on Lot 11, Resubdivision of Lot 7, Block 1, Vail Village 12th Filing/3275 Katsos Ranch Road. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Uphold/overturn/overturn with modifications the Design Review Board's decision to deny the OlesonNolinn duplex separation request. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On December 20, 1995, the applicant met with the Design Review Board to request a determination of significant site constraints and the opportunity to separate the duplex structure proposed for Lot 11, Block 1, Vail Village 12th Filing in accordance with Section 18.54.050(I) of the Municipal Code (see attachrnent 1). Upon review by the DRB, a motion was made to deny the applicant's request since the DRB could not find evidence of significant site constraints. The motion passed unanimously (4-0). A letter from the applicant dated December 29, 1995, appealing the DRB decision, has been attached (see attachment 2). In the applicant's letter, he refers to the intent of the Design Review Guidelines (Section 18.54.010) as a possible basis for overturning the DRB decision. A copy of Section 18.54.010 from the Municipal Code has bee attached for reference (see attachment 3). . STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Upon review of the applicant's separation request, staff recommends that the Town Council uphold the DRB decision of December 20, 1995, of denial. .In staff's opinion, the applicant has not demonstrated the existence of significant site constraints on the lot as required in Section 18.54.050(I) of the Municipal Code. 8:30 P.M. 5. An appeal of the Planning and Environmental Commission's (PEC) denial of Randy Stouder a request for a height variance to allow for a residence, currently under construction, to exceed the 33-foot height limitation for residential structures. The project is located at 1339 Westhaven Circle/Lot 23, Glen Lyon Subdivision (SDD #4). ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Uphold/modify/overturn the PEC's denial of the variance request. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The application is in the process of constructing a residence on Lot 23, Glen Lyon Subdivision. The Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) submitted by the applicant indicates that sections of three separate roof ridges were constructed at heights exceeding the 33-foot height restriction for residential structures. The ridges in question are labeled A, B and C, starting at the lowest of the ridges and going up to the highest. See the attached site plan and elevation drawings. According to the interpolated existing grades provided by Intermountain Engineering (based on the original topographic survey), and the ridge height figures provided by Eagle Valley Surveying (ILC), ridges A, B, and C were constructed a maximum of 8.4 inches above the 33-foot height limitation. The applicant requested that the PEC grant a height variarice to retain the roof ridges at the existing, constructed heights. The PEC unanimously denied the requested height variance by a vote of 4-0: They made the finding that granted the requested height variance would be a grant of special privilege to the applicant. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending denial of the applicant's request to overturn the PEC decision. 9:00 P.M. 6. Town Manager's Report. 9:05 P.M. 7. Adjournment.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Uphold, overturn, or overturn with modificationS the Design Review Board's decision to deny the OlesoNVolinn duplex separation request. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On December 20, 1995, the applicant met with the Design Review eoard to request a determination of significant site consiraints and the opportunity to separate the duplex structure proposed (or Lot 11, Biock t, Vail Viilage 121h Filing in accordance with Section 18.54.050(I) of [he Municipal Code (see attachment 1). Upon ceview by the DRB, a motion was made to deny the applicant's request since the DRB could not tind evidence of signitcant sile constraints. The motion passed unanimously (4-0). A letter (rom the applicant dated December 29, 1995, appealing the DRB decision, has been attached (see attachment 2). In the applicant's letter, he refers to the intent of the Design Review Guidelines (Section 18.54.010) as a possible basis for overturning the DRB decision. A copy of Section 18.54.010 irom the Municipal Code has been attached for reference (see attachment 3) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Upon r8view o( the applicant's seraration request, staff recommends that the Town Council uphoid the DRB decision of December 20, 1995, of deniat.

The purpose of this section is to ensure that duplex ~ and primary/secondary development be designed in a ; manner that creates an architecturally integrated i structure with unified site development. Dwelling i uniis and garages shall be designed within a single . ~ structure, excepf as set forth in 18.04.050 1,2 thereof, ! with the use of unified architectural and landscape deSign. A single structure sha11 have common roofs and building walls that create enclosed space substan- tiaily above grade. Unified architectural and land- scape design shall include, but not be limited to, the use of compatible building materials, architectural styie, scale, roof forms, massing, architectural details, sice grading and landscape materials and features. The presence of siQnificant site constraints mav_ pea-mit the phvsical separation of units and garaQes on a site. The deiermination of whether or not a lot has significant site constraints shall be made bv the dmign review board. Significant site constraints shall be defined as natural features of a lot such as stands o~ mature trees, natural drainagesLstream courses artd other natural water features rock outcroppings, wetlands other natural features, and existing struc- ~ ttTes that may create practical difficulties in the site pFanning and development of a lot. Slope may be com-sidered a Dhvsical site constraint that allows for . thc. separation of a QaraQe from a unit. It shall be_the armlicant's responsibility to request a determination from the design review board as to whether or not a sift has significant site constraints before final desiQn . w,ork on the proiect is oresented This determination sbt2ll be made at a conc.eptual review of the proposal b,~zsed on review of the site a detailed survey of the ' Iea (to include information as outlined in Section 1$_54.040 C,1 a.) and a preliminary site plan of the . gwsaposed structure(s). The duplex and primarv/secondary development_ n=y be designed to accommodate the development of dwe-11inQ units and QaraQes in more than one so=cture if the design review board determines that sipmificant site constraints exist on the lot. The use of u=afied architectural and landscape design as outlined im. Section 18.54.050 H,1. shall be required for the dL-velopmcnt.

On December 1, 1995 I met with George Ruther and reviewed the process of sub-dividing the site in accordance with section 18.12.050. This site complies with two of the three requirements to subdivide by having 202.72 linear feet of frontage and by easily holding two 80 foot wide squares within its boundaries. Although the site has over 45,000 square feet, preliminary calcu(ations show the buildable area at less than the 30,000 square feet required to subdivide. On December 20, 1995 we met with the Design Review Board to request a determination for site constraints and the opportunity to separate the two family residences zoned for lot 11 at 3275 Katsos Ranch Road in accordance with section 18.54.050 (I). Our request was denied noting that the slope was not extreme enough nor the existing grove of trees significant enough. Relativity aside, we understand the kind of precedent an approval would provide. We do not agree with the results based on the Intents established in the Vail Municipal Code under section 18.54A10. The objectives of design review shall be (paraphrased) as follows: A. Recognition of interdependence of welfare and aesthetics to benefit citizens and visitors. B. Development of property in harmony with desired character of town. C. Prevention of unnecessary destruction of natural landscape. D. Provision for a harmonious relationship between the residence with the immediate environment including natural landforms, native vegetation and existing and proposed developments. E. Protection of the neighboring property owners and provision of reasonable traffic, drainage, sound and sight buffers, and other similar effects. We can assume that the proposed residences will be designed and constructed in pursuit of the well-being of both citizens and visitors and with the appropriate appeal to fit within the immediate context of the Katsos Ranch Road as well as within the larger context of Vail (A). We can also assume through the design review process that the neighbors wi(I not be adversely affected by the product (E). Our appeal is based in the remaining three objectives which were significant factors in the development of the design concept. According to the records available from the community development office, the lot is significantly larger than all other lots on Katsos Ranch Road. (A list of the lot sizes are included in the attached information.) ATTACHMENT #2 . - . . . .M.., r . . _ . , . ' _ _ .v~._._..sa Taking into account the south-facing uphill slope, the design woutd naturally travel horizontally across the slope to minimize the number of floors moving up the slope. From the cul-de-sac the uphill duplex would appear inappropriate in scale to those at grade or stepping down the hillside to the south away from the road. The allowed GRFA for two dwellings on this site is 6867 square feet. Being larger than any other residence on Katsos Ranch Road, the massing for a duplex of this size would not be harmonious with the existing dwellings unless the new residences are separated. We would lilce to preserve the most mature trees located in the center of the site by building to the east and west of the trees. The central portion of the property also has the steepest change of grade between the road and both the property line and the setback line which are, respectively, 14 and 19 feet higher than the cul-de-sac. This slope encourages the street access locarions to be at the east and west ends of the site for economy and ease of construction. In response to the examples provided by the existing residences, the best location for the garages is immediately off of the street. To provide a driveway through the site to reach buildable area of less than 401/o slope on the west end as suggested at the concept design review would cause unnecessary destruction of the natural landscape. . We believe that in allowing for the separation of the two family residences, the town will be protecting an established and to date undisturbed grove of deciduous trees, undergrowth and previously fallen boulders as well as allowing the two new residences to be appropriately scaled to match the existing residences. The concept design presented is a sensitive and harmonious scheme that has been discussed with and encouraged by neighbors in hopes of preserving the views and limiting the site impact. If the site is granted a residential separation, we will design the two dwellings concurrently using a unified architectural and landscape vocabulary as described in the section 18.54.050 (n. We are content with the two residences allowed with one conditional Employee Housing Unit and are not seeking any additional residences or increased GRFA in the appeal. Although we understand that the Vail Municipal Code does not empower the Desigr? Review Board to grant a separation based on the established design review intents, we believe that this concept design is the most appropriate for the site and the neighborhood. T'hank you for reviewing our appeal. Please see the attached information as presented at the design review. We look focward to meeting with you and to working with the design review board on this project. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, - ~ tZ•z4•qs A rew James Abraham, Project Architect Victor Mark Donaldson Architects, P.C. ~ M54.010 Yntent. Vail is a town with a unique natural setting, internationally kmQ-wn for its natural beauty, alpine environment, and the camnpatibility of man-made structures with the environment. : • Tlsr-se characteristics have caused a significant number of visitors . to come to Vail with many visitors eventually becoming perma- - nema residents participating in community life. These factors constitute an important economic base for the tamsn, both for those who earn their living here and for those who _ vie-w the town as a precious physical possession. The town council frms3s that new development and redevelopment can have a substantial impact on the character of an area in which it is los:ated. Some harmful effects of one land use upon another can. beprevented through zoning, subdivision controls, and building cades_ Other aspects of development are more subtle and less . aamenable to exact 'rules put into operation without regard to sp=cific development proposals. Among these are the general foimi of the land before and after development, the spatial ~ re:ationships of structures and open spaces to land uses within the : I visinitv and the town, and the appearance of buildinQs and open I spaces as they contribute to the area as it is being developed and redeve3Eoped. In order to provide for the timely exercise of judgment in the public interest in the evaluation of the design of new development and redevelopment, the town council has =ated a design review board (DRB) and design criteria. Ttr-crefore, in order to preserve the natural beauty of the town ' and its settine, to protect the welfare of the community, to maintain the values created in the community, to protect and enilance land and property, for the promotion of healch, safety, aad gemeral \velfare in the community, and to attain the objectives ~ seY oula in this section; the improvement or alteration of open space, -exterior design of all new development, and all modifi- catioms to existing development shall be subject to desion review as specified in this chapter. It as the intent of these euidelines to leave as much design freedo,= as possible to the individual designer while at the same time rnaintaining the remarkable natural beauty of the area by creati=z structures which are desi2ned to complement both their ~ . individual sites and surroundings. Th= objectives of design review shall be as follow•s: A. Ta7 recognize the interdependence of the pubiic welfare and - aesahetics, and to provide a method by which this inter- dependence may continue to benefit its citizens and visitors; B_ Tm allow for the development of public and private property ubdch is in harmony with :he desired character of the town as degned by the guidelines herein provided; _ C. Tm prevent the unnecessary destruction or blighting of the namxral landscape; D. Tb~ ensure that the architectural design, location, configura- tiom materials, colors, and overall treatment of built-up and • og=n spaces have been designed sc that they relate harmo- riicmsly to the natural landforms and native vegetation, the , ta,m-n's overall appearance, with surrounding development anud with officially approved plans or guidelines, if any, for thv-- areas in which the structures are proposed to be located. E. TcDTrotect neighboring property owners and users by making sin-s- that reasonable provision has been made for such m2aters as pedestrian and vehicular traffic, surface water : . dr.ainage, sound and sight buffers, the preservation of light and air, and those aspects of desi2n not adequately covered by atlier regulations which may have substantial effects on neShboring ]and uses. .

As stated in the staff memorandum dated September 27, Ordinance No. 2 1 Series of 1996 1 1993, there are significant aspects of SDD No. 30 which are difficult to satiSfy through the imposition of the standards of the Public Accommodation Zone District. SDD No. 30 allows for greater flexibility in the development of the land than would be possible under the current zoning of the property. SDD No. 30 provides an appropriate development plan that maintains the unique character of this site and the surrounding area. Section 4. Development Plan A. The amended development plan far SDD No. 30 is approved and shall constitute the plan for development within the Special Development District.

The residence is located at 1339 Westhaven Circle/Lot 23, , Glen Lyon Subdivision (SDD#4). Applicant: Bill Anderson, representing Mr. & Mrs. Hovey Planner: Randy Stouder 1. DESCFi@PTGON OF THE REQUEST The applicant is in the process of constructing a residence on Lot 23, Glen Lyon Subdivision. The Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) submitted by the applicant indicates that sections of three separate roof ridges were constructed at heights exceeding the 33-foot height restriction for structures constructed in the Primary/Secondary Zone District. The ridges in question are labeled A, B and C; starting at the lowest of the ridges_and going up to the highest. See the attached site plan and elevation drawings. According to the interpolated existing grades provided by Intermountain Engineering (based on the original topographic survey), and the ridge height figures provided by Eagle Valley Surveying (ILC), ridges A, B and C were constructed 8.4 inches higher than the 33-foot height limitation. The applicant is requesting a variance to retain the roof ridges at the existing, constructed heights. Thus, 4he applicant is requesting a variance of 8.4 inches to the 33-foot height limitation. VV. CRBTERBA AND EIfVDINGS Upon review of the Criteria and Findings for variances, contained in Section 18.62.060 of the Vail Municipal Code, the Community Development Department recommends denial of the requested height variance based on the following factors: A. Consideration of Factors: 1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or po4ential uses and structures in the vicinity. The requested variance will have little or no impact on adjacent properties and structures. The portions of roof ridges that exceed 33 feet are very short and the height exceedances are small. All of the ridges are 8.4 inches over the 33-foot.limitation for a length of less than 5 lineal feet. 1 2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve " compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege The applicant's statement indicates that the height exceedances occurred . as a result of dimensional changes that were made in the floor structure and roof structure. These two structural changes increased the thickness of the floors and the height of the roof structure. Compensating changes could have been made to the interior floor to ceiling heights that would have alleviated the height problem with negligible impact to the interior . spaces. The floor to ceiling heights were not adjusted accordingly. Staff believes that approving the variance would be a grant of special privilege that coulci open the door to similar, after-the-fact requests. Staff . a - believes it is important to strictly enforce the 33-foot height limitation in order to maintain the integrity of the height regulation. 3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety. The requested variance will have'no effect on this criteria. B. The Planninq and Environmental Commission shall make the followingfindings before granting a variance: 1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same district. 2. That the granting af the variance will not be detrimental 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 following reasons: a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives, of this title. b. There are exreptions or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that do 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 owners of other properties in the same district. 2 1189. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the PEC deny the requested variance. Staff believes that granting the height variance would not be materially injurious to other properties in the vicinity or to the public health, safety and welfare. However, staff believes that the variance would be a grant of special privilege since there does not appear to be any unusual circumstances unique to the property, or the construction process, that would justify the request. Staff believes that the strict and literal interpretation of the height limitation is necessary to ensure that all residential construction in ihis zone district is subject to the same height restriction. If the PEC denies the requested variance, staff recommends that the height problem be remedied as follows: 1. The applicant shall submit a re-designed roof plan to the Design Review Board no later than January 22nd. The.roof plan shall propose a modified roof design that meets the 33-foot height limitation and is architecturally harmonious with the • F remainder of the structure. 2. An ILC shall be provided by the applicant, after the roof is re-framed, to confirm the height of the re-designed roof is at or below the 33-foot height limitation. 3 ~ +a 1--~r~~; ~-~r• r " . ~ y ( S f' 1 ly.l f'1> 11.7 ~~~15~TJ~ ~~.4L~yy~~~~s(Y.(`r • 1 • .1 ~ ! ~ ~•r~~7.A~ tj+4 { ~'t'Y' i f r.' ~4 ~=~S~(~~1I.9`f{~j~. r ~ ~ ~';js ~ ~ l,J-w , ~ ' ~ ` , 1 ' • i[+~j 1 - , ~ ~ ~ ,i.3 ~ ~~7 t • ~~~i!~~ ; 7 • , i ~ ; ~ t ~ ~ ' k ` , -t' ' ;1~ " 'i; r. -t . 1 L t~ ; ~ _ ~ _ 4 .~Y~~~: Sf 1,..

Glen Lyon Subdivision 1339 Westhaven Circle Vail, Colorado The variance requested is a height var:iance as it relates to the thirty-three ~ foot (33'-0") maximum building height for structures in a duplex zone district. The subject project is a.single family residence at 1339 Westhaven Circle, Glen Lyon Subdivision, SDD No. 4, Area C, Glen Lyon.Duplex Lots. The current Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) by Eagle Valley Surveying, Inc., Job No. 2242, dated 11-29=95, indicates minimal encroachment in three roof areas: (Also see attachments.) r A. 7" to 0" for a lineal distance of 4'-0" at the third floor, north bedroom north wall dormer. (8147,1 per ILC vs. interpolated 8113.5 per original topographical survey by Intermountain Engineering, Ltd., Project No. 94856S,.dated 11-4-94.) B. 7" to 0" for a lineal distance of 3'-0" at the third floor hip ridge, north bedroom. (8149.1 ILC vs. iterpolated 8115.5.) . C. 13" to 0" for a lineal distance of 5'-0" at the third floor highest roof ridge. (8150.6 ILC vs.:interpolated 8116.5..) Design Review Phase ridge line elevations were "best estimate" vertical dimen- sions prior to str.uctural engineering and construction phase detailing. The ridge elevations were related.to an enlar.ged, interpolated tapographical survey provided by Intermountain Engineering, Ltd. The third floor, north bedroom hip roof was incorporated into the design to bring the roof into compliance at',.DRB stage. • The applicant acknowledges the TL;C encroachment and has attempted to determine areas where the discrepancy occured. In addition to slight dimensional variances which may commonly occur during in-field construction, two areas of height in- crease have been determined: 1. Increase in depth of floor framing members/plywood subfloor to support radiant heating topping slab. (From 10" to 12 5/8".) This dimension applied to two floors results in a total increase of 5 1/4". 2. Increase in roof truss top chord vertical height per truss manufac-turer's shop drawings. This occurred during the construction phase and was required to maintain-typical fascia depth/detailing throughout the pro- ject. -(From-6 1/16" assumed 2x6 to 9-13/16".) This results in an in- crease of 3 3/4". The above two areas result in a total increase of 9"'to the height of the building. Page-.1 :of 2 e y The project is located in a Debris Flow Hazard Zone and the owner requested that appropriate mitigation measures be incorporated into the design> The design "tucks" the south facing, up-hill side of the residence and mitigation walls into the site to create as little site disturbance as possible and yet maintain the mitigation standards.of the consulting geologist and the views and natural light requests of the ownere Preserving the south portion of the site and saving as many trees as possible were requirements of the DRB at approval stages. Had potential minor dimensional increases been deemed to pose a problem, the lower level slab elevation could have been lowered a foot or so, thus lowering the total height of the structure as it relqtes to original natural grade. However, this most likely would have resulted in higher exposed mitigation walls on the south side of the structure and/or increased regrading on the up- f:ill side with resultant loss of trees. It is the applicant's wish to request.~a height variance in order to maintain the existing, DRB approved design integrity and detailing of the residence. We feel that maintaining the current aesthetics of the building out-weigh the minor encroachments. The encroachments were in no way intentional, nor do they benefit the owner or detract from neighboring propertiese APPLICATION ITEMS TO BE ADDRESSED: , 1. The subject project is a single family residence loca.ted in an area of large duplex residencese. The structure already presents less of- a visual impact than adjacent properties and the requested variance would not have detrimentaT affects on any existing or potential uses and structureso (See attached photose) 2. The granting of the variance would not constitute special priviledge, since similar residential issues and encroachments have previously been granted variances in.order to maintain the best interests of a particular project and adjacent areas. 3> and 4e The granting of the -variance will have no affect on light and air, distribution of population, transportation,•traffic facil- ities, utilities, public.safety and Vail's Comprehensive Plane , Page 2 of 2 PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION January 8, 1996 Minutes MEMBERS PRESENT: MEMBERS ABSENT: STAFF PRESENT: Greg Moffet Jeff Bowen Mike Mollica Greg Amsden Dalton Williams George Ruther Kevin Deighan - Randy Stouder 'Henry Pratt Lauren Waterton Judy Rodriguez Public Hearina 2:00 p.m. The meeting was called to order by Greg Moffet at 2:05 p.m. Dalton Williams and Jeff Bowen were absent. 1. A request for a Major SDD Amendment to allow for a 485 square foot addition to an existing condominium in the Gateway Building located at 12 Vail Road, Unit SNail Gateway Plaza Building. Applicant: Steve Riden representing Vail Apartments Inc. Planner: Randy Stouder Henry Pratt moved to table item No. 1, item No. 4 and item No. 5 until January 22, 1996. Greg Amsden seconded the motion. It passed unanimously by a vote of 4-0. 2. A request for a building height variance to allow for a residence currently under construction to exceed the height limit located at 1339 Westhaven Circle/Lot 23, Glen Lyon Subdivision (SDD #4). . Applicant: Bill Anderson representing Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hovey Planner: Randy Stouder Randy Stouder gave an overview of the proposal. He stated that staff had reviewed the variance criteria carefully and found that justification for granting the variance was lacking. According to the applicant, depth was added to the floors and to the roof structure during the construction process without compensating reductions in the height of the structure. Staff felt that the structural changes could have been compensated for by reducing floor to ceiling heights. This was not done. Randy stated that the variance request should be denied because staff finds that approval would be a grant of special privilege. Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes 7anuary 8, 1996 1 a a Bill Anderson from Beck and Associates referred to a situation in East Vail where a house was 3' over the height limit and was granted a height variance. He was on the PEC at the time. He stated that the surveyor made a mistake which resulted in the height increase. He felt that the mistake made on the Hovey residence was no different than the mistake made on the East Vail residence, both were honest mistakes. He stated that the Hovey's had nothing to gain from the mistake. Bill said that he had contacted the adjoining property owners. The adjacent owners did not have any problems with • granting a variance. They did not feel impacted by the additional height. Greg Moffet asked for public comment. No one came forward. . Henry Pratt said although the impact is negligible and the neighbors don't care, he feels handcuffed since the Findings are not met. Greg Amsden said for practical reasons that the variance should be granted, but based on Code, it would definitely be a grant of special privilege. He felt that he could not grant a variance based on a _review of the criteria and findings. . P Kevin Deighan said he agreed with Greg Amsden's comments. Greg Moffet asked if an ILC was performed after the foundation was poured. He also asked if this • mistake would have been caught by an ILC at that stage? Bill said no, that structural elements above the foundation had been changed and this caused the height increase. Dave Peel said they went from a 10" floor to 11 7/8". He also explained how the roof structure was modified slightly, resulting in additional height. Greg Moffet said that the height problem wras a self imposed hardship and the Board could not grant a variance. Bill Anderson mentioned that for on-site construction mistakes that the Board has granted variances in the past. Randy Stouder said the East Vail variance was for the Musyl home. That variance was granted because of a surveyor error. The surveyor used an improper benchmark. Staff recommended denial even though the entire roof of the structure would have had to be .taken off. The PEC did grant that variance. Henry Pratt asked if there had been any other height variances granted recently: Randy Stouder said that the Musyl variance was the only one he could recall in the two years he has been with the Town. Mike Mollica stated that each variance request has to stand on its own merits and should be judged individually. Mike Mollica also doesn't remember any other similar requests being granted. Bill Anderson stated that if this variance was granted that it would not set a precedent for more variance requests, at least not by him or his company. Beck and Associates has a long track history Planning and Environmental Commission Minutes 7anuary S, 1996 2 ! for being on target with heights and setbacks. We screwed up and made a mistake. He does not want to tear up the roof and destroy the architecYs design. He asked the Board to look at the request with some.common sense. No one has been adversely effected and no one has gained anything from the small height increase. Greg Amsden made a motion for denial of the variance request. Henry Pratt seconded the motion. It passed unanimously with a vote of 4-0. Mike Mollica added for the record that the applicant has 10 days to submit a written request for an appeal to Council. He also said that Council uses the same criteria and findings that the PEC uses. Bill Anderson stated that the Hoveys want to move in by March 1, 1996 and asked if he could get a TCO by posting a bond to guarantee that the height overage would be corrected. He did not feel that ' y the work could be completed prior to March 1. Mike Mollica said he would be comfortable with bonding. 3. A request f wall lieight variances and a driveway grade variance r the Koenig residence located at 79 Potato Patch Drive/L.ot 26, Vail Potato Patch Su ivision. Applicant: Er Johnson for Gary Koenig Planner: Geo e Ruther . George Ruther gave an overvi and quickly went throu the items the applicant changed since the December 11 th meeting. Public orks suggested a 2' ravel shoulder to be replaced with a guardrail since~the shoulder could not maint ' a safe slope t he street. Staff does not feel there would be any impacts if the variances are granted. taff does feel the driveway would have any negative impacts either. Staff has the greatest c ncern th item 2 of, the Criteria. The hardship is self imposed by the Contractor. Staff is recommendin e' I because of a grant of special.privilege. George then went over the conditions in the memorandu , should the PEC grant the request of the variances. Ray Coutash, owner of Beehive Constr tion a representing the Koenigs and Dowlings, owners. He requested the variance be granted b ed on the ndscape changes to save the trees. One other hardship shows the surveyor made mistake and i wasn't discovered until after the fact. This is the first time he heard about the guar rail. The utilities r where the guardrail is proposed and he would prefer plantings, rather than er /ting a guardrail. / - Greg Moffet asked for publi input. Henry Pratt said agai racticality should rule rather than the le er of the law. A lack of a shoulder is a serious issue for th own. The driveway can be remedied. Pro ' ing a variance wouldn't do anything for the walls. Th e has been an effort ta remedy the landscape. nry is not optimistic about the wall variance, how er. Greg Am en said preservation of trees is not justification for granting the ariance. There are some site res aints for the wall height variance. The driveway is a grant of specia rivilege.

As we have discussed, the Vail Host Program was very successful and the Task Force is preparing to implement this program again over Presidents Weekend. The Task Force is also working on a long term effort to help ensure the economic and social viability of the community. This effort will examine trends and work to define a vision for Vail's future. It will also recommend a number action plans to help implement the plan's desired outcomes. It is, in effect, a strategic plan for the community. We (the Mayor and I) will keep you advised on this status of this effort. Colorado Legislature The 60th Colorado General Assembly convened on January l Oth. The session will meet for the next 120 days and is scheduled to adjourn on May 8th. As always the legislators will be considering a number of bills that may affect the Town of Vail and other Colorado municipalities. The Colorado Municipal League will be representing our interest and lobbying against bills which would adversely affect local governments. Although there are many bills to be considered, key legislation include bills on Takings, Transportation, Finance and Rights of Way access. Sam Manet has summarized all the important legislation in the December CML Newsletter. I believe each of you received a copy last week. If you need additional copies, please let me lcnow. For your information I have attached copies of several bills as well as a copy of an analysis prepared by the City of Aspen. Z?~~ RECYCLED PAPER ~7 , Privatization of Federal Lands Last year, as part of the effort to balance the Federal Budget, the Congress included a proposal to sell parts of Forest Service lands currently leased to ski axea operators. As a response to this proposal, the Town of Vail in conjunction with the Colorado Association of Ski Towns (CAST) hired a Washington lobbyist to help defeat this measure. According to Liz Robbins, who is representing CAST, it appears that this issue is currently dead. Although Congress and the President have yet to agree on a budget for the fiscal year (which began Oct 1), Liz does not think there is any chance of this being included at the last minute. Indeed, several key backers have indicated a willingness to exclude this from any budget this year. However it is'very likely that this proposal will be back in the future. Because this proposal would raise revenue and appeals to the republic philosophy of smaller government, Liz expects that we will be facing this issue again, The Cast Executive Board will meet later this month to determine how CAST should proceed in the future. The Board will make a recommendation to the full membership at the March CAST meeting. Roundabout We have prepared some statistics on the performance of the roundabout (already at your seats). The analysis shows the new intersection has done well in reducing delays and traffic congestion for the past six months. The roundabout handled an estimated 15 percent more traffic during Christmas week 1995, the number of accidents (five) was below the average number of accidents (seven) at the site over the past three years. That compares to 275 other accidents throughout town during the fourth quarter of 1995. Although we're extremely optimistic about the roundabout's operation, we believe driver education remains a key component in the roundabout's continued success. f 1 YMEMORANDU1v1 DATE : December 19, 1995 THE CITY OF ASPEN TO: Mayor and Members of Council CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FROMa John Worcester, City Attorney RE: State "Takings°° Legislation Councilmember Richards has asked for my comments regarding 11takings" legislation in the state legislature this past session and the forthcoming 1996 legislative session. As you know, several "takings°° or t1private property rights1° bills have been defeated in Colorado over the last several years. It is likely that a number of proposed bills will be introduced in the legislature this coming yearo Attached hereto, for example, is a copy of a draft bill which will be carried by the President of the Senate, Sene Tom Norton (R, Greeley). I'm told this bill will have the support of a wide ranqe of groups including the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry, and the Colorado Realtors Association. The concept of requiring government to pay for private property taken for public use is not newe The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads, in part, as follows: 1°nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.10 The Bill of Rights found in the Colorado Constitution contains a similar guarantee (See Sec. II, Art. 15). Nevertheless, takings bills have been adopted in 19 states and the U.S. Congress has had similar legislation under consideration in the past several years. Some legislation has been the result of legitimate concerns regarding the rights of property ownerso Much of the legislation, however, is really anti-regulation legislation clothed in the fabric of private property rights. Because federal courts and the courts in Colorado have recognized and applied existing constitutional protections for private property owners, all takings legislation in our state should be viewed with skepticism as they will merely add onerous financial burdens on communities exercising their normal police power to regulate private property for public good. The general legallprinciple is that a regiixlation to avoid being considered a taking must satisfy two requirements: (1) it must "substantially advance legitimate state interests"; and (2) it must not deny an owner all "economically viable use of his land.°1 See, Actins v. Tiburon, 447 U.S. 255 (1980) (a U.S. Supreme Court Memorandum to Mayor and City Council December 19, 1995 - Page 2 ' case); and Baum v. CitY and County of Denver, 363 P.2d 688 (Colo. 1961) (a Colorado Supreme Court case). Traditionally, a broad range of governmental purposes constitute 10legitimate state interests" maintaining residential zoning, preserving land- marks, and protecting the environment. In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court in Nollan ve California Coastal Commission, 107 S.Ct. 3141, required that there be a very close fit or 1°nexus" between the means chosen by the state (i.e. the particular land use regula- tion selected) and the governmental obj ective being pursuedo Even a compelling state interest will be to no avail if the means chosen are not quite tailored to advance that interesto The latest addition to the takings equation is the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dolan v City of Tigard, 114 S.Ct. 2309 (1994). In this case the Supreme Court held that not only must there be an essential nexus between the means chosen by the state and the objective being pursued, but there must be "rough propor- tionality" between the means and objectivee In other words, "whether the degree of exactions demanded eee bear the required relationship to the projected impact of the oe. proposed develop- ment." This is the state of the law as enunciated by the courts in this area. It offers property owners the protection they need from arbitrary governmental action, yet allows the government to enact reasonable land use regulations pursuant to its traditional police powers. Any alteration of this carefully crafted balanc- ing of private property rights and governmental police powers by the state legislature is extremely dangerous. It is not hyperbo- le to suggest that legislative meddling could destroy the quality of life in communities throughout the state and bankrupt local and state governments. A quick analysis of Sen. Norton's pro- posed bill reveals a number of serious concerns. The bill°s summary provides the basis for the concerns. The bill requires local governments to support the existence of the essential nexus between the burden and a legitimate govern- ment interest and to show that the burden is roughly proportional to the property owner's proposed use of the property. This requirement alone will add an immense financial burden upon municipalities and encourage court challenges to most land use . regulations, and,regulations which might affect the value of private propertye Traditionally, the courts in Color2.do, as in all states, have held that there is a presumption of validity and regularity that attaches to and supports the official acts of public officials and, in the absence of clear evidence to the contrary, courts are to presume that official acts have been r Memorandum to Mayor and City Council December 19, 1995 Page 3 ' properly discharged. Citv of Colorado Sprincts v. District Court, 519 P.2d 325 (Colo. 1974)e The burden has always-been on the party challenging official action to overcome such presumptions of validity and regularity. Fedder v. McCurdv, 768 P.2d 711 (Colo. App. 1988). There are strong public policy considerations for these principles. The bill would alter these presumptions by shifting the burden upon municipalities to defend all of their actions in enacting land use regulations. The bill gives property owners the right to claim compensation for an devaluation of their property resulting from a violation of the act. Enforcement of this provision is through ar-bitrati.on and court proceedings. Every regulation that limits the use af property has some theoretical impact on the'value of property. If a municipality is unable to carry its burden of proof in showing an essential nexus and rough proportionality, it will be open to damage claims. Just defending such claims will be an administrative nightmare and very expensive in staff time and court resources. Property owners pay nothing to government for the gains they enjoy when their property benefits from land use regulation. This phenomenon is quite evident in our communitya Downzoning may have an initial negative impact on the value of land, but over a reasonably short period of time, the value of property increases at exponential rates. The question thus becomes, why should private property owners be compensated for any diminution in value of their property even though they may benefit in the long run. Should this bill, or one similar to it pass, municipalities will simply not be able to afford to take the risk of having to pay compensation to everyone who claims that their property values have been reduced. The social impact of this concern is immea- surable as social ills will simply go unchecked for fear that the enactment of responsible legislation will be too risky. The Norton bill is particularly onerous in this respect. Ini- tially., the bill refers to the "adoption" of new legislation; then it appears to cover the "adoption or enforcement" of anv regulation; then it mentions the "implementation" of any regula- tion. If the bill passes as written, the sanctions and procedur- . al requirements would apply to virtually every section of our ~municipal code which allegedly causes anyone's private property ~ values to be diminished! Does not our smoking ordinance affect the value of property? And how about our sign, fireplace, noise abatement, tree protection, and liquor licensing ordinances? Every time one of these ordinances was enforced, the City would . . r Memorandum to Mayor and City Council December 19, 1995 - Page 4 ' be open to a damage claim from the property owner claiming a diminution in the value of his or her property. There are legitimate concerns about the power of government to take private property without just compensation. However, placing at risk the police power regulations that make a complex and relatively compact society livable will impose incredible penalties on all who live in communities. Both the federal and state courts have developed the proper balancing tests to protect those property owners that have legitimate claims against over- reaching governmental regulations. Attached hereto is a generic resolution prepared by the Col.orado Niunicipal League for adoption by municipalities desiring to express their opposition to "takings11 legislation. Upon Coun- cil's direction I would be happy to tailor such a resolution for adoption by the Aspen City Council. If you have any questions regarding the above, please let me know.

Bill Summary "Property Rights" (Note: This summary applies to this bil] as introduced . and does not necessarily reflect any amendments which may be suSsequently adopred.) Declares that the right to own and* use private property is fundamental, citing constitutional provisions and disapproving the placement of burdens on individual property owners to achieve general public purposes. Oeclares the issue a matter of statewide concern. Prohibits local governments from adopting laws or policies that burden the use of private property except when there is an established threat to the public health or safety or when: o there i s an essenti al nexus between the burden and a legitimate local government interest, and o the burden is roughly proportional to the property owner's proposed use of the property. Requires a local government to support the existence of the two conditions above by substantial evidence. Oefines the adoption or enforcement of any local law or requirement without meeting the required conditions as an action beyond the jurisdiction of the official taking such action. Gives property owners the right to claim compensation for any devaluation of their property resulting from violation of the act. Provides for enforcement through arbitration and court proceedings. Places the burden of proof on the local governmentai entity involved in any such enforcement action. - Allows a property owner to waive such relief, but requires that a waiver be written and recorded in the land records before it is enforceable against a subsequent owner of the property. 1 8e it enacted bythe Generai Assemb]y of the State of Color°ado: ' 2 SECTION 1.

A total of 50 exclusive spaces have been sold ranging from $30,000 to $45,000 a piece, while five shared spaces have been sold at $15,000 each. While Corbin said 180 additional sales are still needed to fund the structure, the project is already at a near break-even situation given the cost to contribute to a parking pay-in-lieu fund in the event the structure could not be built. Corbin said he was optimistic the pre-sates would provide the capital to build the parking structure concurrentiy with the rest of the redevelopment. He said the company will decide by mid-February if it will break ground on the project. Council members have said the parking structure is an important element of the redevelopment and have insisted if be built concurrently with the project. For more information, contact Jim Curnutte or Lauren Waterton in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --Community Development Overview During an overview of the Community Development Department and its priorities for 1996, Council members were introduced to the first phase of a reorganization designed to increase customer service and efficiency. Effective Jan. 2, a new customer service counter has been created to provide professional design review and permit assistance during the hours of 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Nionday through Friday. No appointments are necessary and a 24-hour turnaround is available for small-scale building permits and other minor approvals that do not require Public Works or Fire Department approval where the application submittal is complete. Other departmental improvements include creation of a housing division and a plan to improve the design review and development review processes this year.

Council Highlights/Add 1 fn a related discussion, several council members asked if any of the town's ordinances on trash, abandoned cars and nuisances needed to be strengthened to address some of the problems that were brought to the Council's attention in the Matterhorn area last year. Russell Forrest, senior environmental policy planner, said the ordinances appeared to be strong enough, although research is still underway in the area of dumpster enclosures. He said seven citations issued last year in the Matterhorn neighborhood are scheduled to be heard in municipal court later this week. --Alpine Garden Lease At the request of representatives from the Alpine Gardens, the Council agreed to delay action on the term of a proposed lease between the town and the Alpine Gardens for cperations at the town-owned Ford Park site until a management plan for the park is completed later in the year. Previously, Alpine Gardens representatives had pushed for a 49-year'lease, as opposed to a 10-year lease which is consistent with several other current Town of Vail leases. For additional details, contact Town Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107. --Information Update Paul Johnston indicated the Colorado Ski Museum was looking for someone on the Council to serve on its board of directors. Kevin Foley clarified a request from Eagle County for a contribution to assist with legal fees for the railroad abandonment project. Council members asked that a representative from the county meet with them to discuss the request in more detail. Foley also suggested discussing Vail's expectations for the regional transportation system at an upcoming Council retreat. --Council Reports Mike .lewett, an appointee to the Housing Authority, said he was interested in meeting with other members of the Council to explore housing ideas in preparation for the Feb. 27 Council retreat. Sybill Navas inquired about coordination of the 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships. Town Manager Bob McLaurin indicated he would ask the Vail Valley Foundation to provide an update. Paul Johnston outlined.a new version of the former Chuck Anderson Youth Award • which would include an experience in Vail's sister city, St. Moritz (Switzerland). Johnston also provided a brief update on a recent meeting of the Berry Creek Fifth Filing. He said action on a road easement to the Eagle County School District for access to Miller Ranch has been extended for six months. After hearing about poor sales by merchants in Vail Village, Sybill Navas suggested (more) a 4 Council Highlights/Add 2 creating a task force to study the issue and recommend action. Bob McLaurin said the issue is under discussion by members of the TOV-VA Community Task Force and would likely be part of a larger community discussion later in the year. --Other Bob McLaurin gave an update on the Jan. 5 closure of Vail Pass due to an avalanche. The Vail Dispatch Center received 4,500 phone calls that day; most of the calls were inquiries about road conditions. Volunteers assisted the dispatchers with the non- emergency calls and shelters for stranded travelers were activated. Bob Armour suggested adding more signs to direct travelers to the shelters. . o --Paul Johnston expressed a concern about the volume of delivery truck traffic on Hanson Ranch Road. Bob NtcLaurin said he was exploring options ranging from restricting hours of loading and delivery to creation of another Checkpoint Charlie. --At the request of Town Attorney Tom fVioorhead, 4he Council agreed to postpone consideration of the model traffic code at the Jan. 16 evening meeting until traffic studies have been completed by the town engineer. # # # UPCOMING COUNCOL MEET@NGS January 16 Work Session Vail Valley iVlarketing Board Overview Site Visit, Hovey Appeal of PEC Decision January 96 Evening Meeting Second Reading, Police and Fire Pension Plan Ordinance .

Our costs of bringing our customers many of their favorite cable networks has risen substantially, just as the network's costs of obtaining new and better programming has also gone up. In order to maintain our current variety of programming, as well as, keep pace with rising inflation, we will be making a one-time adjustment this year to reflect these higher costs. Accordingly, the new rate for expanded basic service will increase by $1.26, resulting in a new monthly price of $15.83. The charge for basic service is will be $9.60 an increase of $.57. Additionally, our equipment and installation charges are being updated to account for any changes that occurred during the previous year. We will be implementing the following adjustments to our rate structure. The hourly service charge for installations, additional outlets, etc. will increase $2.00, from $21.28 per hour to $23.28. The standard converter charge will increase $.20, from $1.23 to Y1.43. The addressable converter charge will increase $.30, from $2.28 to $2:58. The components utilized to calculate the revised service rates consist of only those external costs allowed under the Cable Act of 1992. TCI voluntarily used this approach to ensure that our adjustments reflected only actual business cost increases. P.O.

However, unless cable goes out, I'll be watching the meeting, as I have been for the past month, on Chanel5. I do think that visiting media should know the real reason why the electorate of Vail made the changes that they did. I've enclosed only 2 of the voluminous collection. of collaterals I have pertaining to the Vail Commons issue. In spite of very poor ACTIVE citizen participation, (most people openly said they were afraid of repercussions from Town agencies and the Council) there was considerable passive participation via petitions and in person requests to the Council to listen to the voices of the people. The predominating issue was the back room dealings that resulted in the previous Council making a decision for the Commons that the people dad not want nor endorsed. This led to an incumbent's failure to be re- elected, a Councilman "claiming" he couldn't find housing and resigns, and the Mayor hiding behind the skirts of a 2 year old as she tenders her resignation. The height of anogance was our duly elected legislative body claiming they made an Administrative decision and therefor WE THE PEOPI.E were deprived of the only vehicle in a democracy that expresses our opinions... the right to vote! I have spoken with RFP respondents on the project,and what happened here is not a pretty picture, with most of it shoved under the rug due to our lack of funding for legal help! On 1 U17/95 an article ran in the Detroit Free Press. We were sold cheap to Kroeger because they have plenty of money available for expansion plans! KKR(Kravits who did the LBO of Safeway) attempted to take over Kroeger, parent of City Market and King Soopers. Surely Kroeger must be laughing at how easy it was to "get even" and move into Safeway's turf in Vail! Did anyone do due diligence before giving away rhe candy store? I also enclosed a chronology of the Commons dealings which gives the background history for this "electorate" revolt. Not included are the sessions held with West Vail residents who told the Task Force "no supermarket" from day one. The Council had their own agenda, and some of it bordered on admitted conflict of interest.. . admitted at the 11 th hour, but nevertheless admitted. ? 0 This town has some very briaht business people who have chosen to move here. There are many residents who have sold property and been involved in affordable housing with municipalities. Were they contacted for a Task Force? Of course not, that would upset the plans because they might have come up with an affordable housing plan that didn't include a supermarket, but perhaps it would include another venue that would actually bring in sales revenue rather than divide what currently exists in a market where sales tax revenues are flat. The previous Vail Town Council represented themselves, not the people who elected them, and demacracy, being a governmenf of the geople, chose to have the people be represented by "the people", and not by a governing body that refused to listen or re- evaluate.. The Common Sense group are not stupid they know what went on, but did not have the financial resources to fight the system, and our local media are highly . a dependent upon advertising dollars from City Market, so the real stories never got out. That's the information the visiting media should be given. ` - CHRONOLOGY OF THE V.AIL COMMONS PARCEL ~ ; ...purchased in 1981 by Hud Wirth partnership: Vail Commons, Ltd. ...1989 actual value 1,724,710 Million by Eagle County Appraisal 8/05/89 ...1991 actual value reduced to 1.1 Million by Eagle County Appraisal 8/27/91 June 1991...Bob Kendall of Kelton, Garton & Kendall contacts parcel owner with offer from Loftus, Inc., a Boulder development company.

Despite overwhelming public opinion to the contrary, the Vail Town Council passed a motion to procEed with the development of a supermarket complex on the 6.6 acres of land known as The Vail Commons and owned by the people of Vail. The motion set in place the legal proceedure for the Town to sign a contract . a with City Market, Inc. whos parent company, Kroeger Corp. from Ohio, is on an expansion program to fight competition, Safeway, Inc. being a main target. The citizens of Vail want affordable housing on the property, which is the last large tract of land within the town. Their objection is to a second supermarket in a town that has only 28% of its population as permanent homeowners; and to being blackmailed by the Town saying that affordable housing can only be obtained by having a supermarket subsidize the housing. One look at their RFP package tells us they had no intention of seeking out other venues that would add to the already flat sales ta7c. Instead they are setting in motion a plan that divides available sales tax revenues from supermarket purchases. A world reknown awazd winning affordable housing architect, and a prize winning affordable housing developer of homes in the Central Rockies, never made it to the final selection. How odd that Vail turns down some of the best? . In response to these "back room" dealings, a group of concerned citizens organized a"Common Sense For The Commons Committee". To date they have given 700 signatures to the Council from property owners, and more than the required 434 registered voter signatures necessary in order to place the issue on the 1Vovember ballot. The Council has turned a deaf ear since June 27th when they made their decison to start the engines and run over the advice of their appointed Citizens Task Force and the opinions of Vail residents. The supermarket has been bulldozed through by what that legislative group termed an Administrative decision denying the people their right to vote on the issue. The Vail Town Council now has new faces that the citizens hoge will listen when concerns are raised. Democracy came back to life with the election of representatives who hopefully won't vote in their own best interests! mediaJwps ' • The Uq~ - Jc.¢iu CUY 12. 1996 22 7VAM xvwn-or VOYl S1ateS a111105t- $250,000 for special events s~ ¶ moved to Auguat's Summer- councilwoman Judy Yoder. e~e~09000 co1~LJ1d fest if council so d6sir.ea.

McLaurin Pamela A. Brandmeyer FROM: R. Thomas Moorhead, Town Attorney DATE: January 15, 1996 RE: Town of Vail Speed Limits in Business Districts and Residence Districts On January 15th, I met with Chief Greg Morrison, Larry Grafel and Greg Hall to discuss speed limits within the Town of Vail in business districts and residence districts. This was as a result of Town Council's inquiry of the 15 mph speed limits upon first reading of the ordinance to adopt the Model Traffic Code. That matter was tabled and referred to staff for consideration and additional information to be presented to Council. Section 1101 of the Model Traffic Code establishes the following speeds to be lawful: (a) 20 mph on narrow, winding mountain highways or on blind curves; (b) 25 mph in any business district; (c) 30 mph in any residence district... The topic of the discussion concerned the Town of Vail speed limits. Most of the Town is presently controlled by a 15 mph speed limit. Whether this speed limit is unduly restrictive or is reasonably related to special considerations will be addressed by the Town of Vail Public Works and Police Department. The discussion will attempt to arrive at a decision which will take into consideration the factors of enforcement and traffic engineering. This will require traffic studies and surveys in those areas where a 15 mph speed limit may be appropriate. The objective will be to justify the 15 mph speed limit by traffic study and survey and the existence of special hazards. A target date of August 1, 1996 has been selected which will provide adequate time for the completion of traffic studies. The traffic studies in the opinion of Greg Hall are best performed in the late spring and early summer when the roadways are more likely to be clear and dry. Please feel free to contact any of us for additional information in regard to this project. Thanks.

An analysis of the project's first six months shows some positive results; however, town officials say driver education remains a key component in the roundabout's continued success. "V1/e're delighted the project is beginning to prove itself on its own merits," said Bob McLaurin, town manager. "Those who use the intersection will ultimately determine its success based on their ability to maneuver through it." The roundabout has carried about 2.5 million cars since construction was completedin October, according to estimates compiled by Greg Hall, town engineer. Hall's figures atso include traffic count comparisons for the just-completed holiday season in which the intersection saw about 15 percent more vehicles per hour at peak periods compared to the 1994-95 holiday. Also, skier numbers were up two percent in December 1995. But more importantly, Hall says, is the lack of back ups at the intersection compared to previous years. "That's the big difference we've seen, so far," Hall said. "The waiting time to enter the intersection has been nearly eliminated even (more) RECYCLEDPAPER f Roundabout/Add 1 during our heaviest traffic periods." The north side roundabout carried a high of 1,819 vehicles per hour during the afternoon peak on Dec. 28, compared to 1,557 cars per hour recorded on Dec. 29 the previous year. The south side carried 3,284 per hour during afternoon peak, compared to 2,898 vehicles per hour the previous year. The roundabout is designed to carry up to 5,000 vehicles per hour. With traffic flowing smoothly at the roundabout during the holidays, the town was able to experiment with several new programs, McLaurin said. For example, an express van was added to shuttle passengers from Lionshead to the Covered Bridge, and from Golden Peak to Lionshead via the Frontage Road. "This is something we've always wanted to try during our afternoon rush, but the Frontage Road was always clogged in years past," said McLaurin. Outlying buses also were running more efficiently as a result of the roundabout, he said. In addition, traffic exiting the Village parking structure was directed west through the roundabout rather fhan eastbound on the Frontage Road to the East Vail Interchange and traffic from the Lionshead parking structure was directed east to help relieve the West Vail Interchange. Also, emergency vehicles found quick access through the roundabout during the holiday period. In previous years, it was more efficient to relocate emergency vehicles away from the Main Vail intersection, McLaurin said. With the roundabout handling traffic on its own, the holidays also offered an opportunity to provide an emphasis on traffic control operations elsewhere at Golden Peak and East Lionshead Circle. However, overall traffic control operations have been (more) r 6 RoundaboudAdd 2 reduced by five seasonal community safety officer positions this season as a result of the roundabout, a savings of about $50,000. The success of the roundabout was also a topic of favorable discussion during guest surveys and focus groups conducted by Vail Associates, Inc. over .the holidays, McLaurin said: Accidents, another measure of the intersection's efficiency, have declined since completion of the project and are now running slightly below the average number of accidents at the site over the past three years, Hall said. During the construction months of July, August and September of 1995, a total of 10 accident reports were filed with police, half of which were caused by the ongoing construction. The three-year average for this period is four accidents at the intersection. There were only five post-construction accidents reported from October through December,* including a vehicle whose windshield was damaged from the effects of a snowplow on the I-70 overpass. That compares to an annual average of seven accidents at this location during October, iVovember and December from 1992 to 1994. The three-year average for irijury accidents from July to December is two. To date, there has been one injury accident reported at the roundabout. This occurred when a construction flagger received minor injuries during a hit and run accident. Hall is reviewing each of the accident reports to look for trends or possible adjustments needed to tvveak the intersection. "Driver education continues to be the key," Hall said. Failure to yield and approaching the intersection too fast have been the cause of most of the accidents, Hall said. Several other mishaps occurred when (more) S Roundabout/Add 3 vehicles stopped after entering the circle; another occurred when a driver within the circle put the car in reverse and attempted to back up. "With multi-lane entries, it's important to use caution and drive defensively," said Hall. "Not only should you look to your left, but once you proceed, you need to be aware of what's happening on your right, as well. Then, once inside, dnn't stop. Keep moving until you exit." Weather, also, will likely play a contributing factor in the accident rate, as it does elsewhere in town, Hall said. In addition to the five post-construction accidents at the roundabout, Vail Police took reports on 275 other accidents throughout town during the fourth quarter of 1995. Since October, police have issued one citation for failure to yield in the roundabout, while three warnings have been written--one for following too closely and two for failure to yield. Police Chief Greg Morrison says his department will continue to educate drivers to help with the transition, including distribution of a brochure on how to drive the roundabout. The brochures also have been given to lodges, rental car companies, local visitor centers and other businesses. Free copies are available by calling the town's Community Information Office at 479-2115. Vail's $2.2 million roundabout is one of only 11 other modern roundabouts in the U.S. and the first modern roundabout interchange in this country. Leif Ourston, of Ourston and Associates of Santa Barbara, Calif., who designed the project, predicts an explosion of roundabouts across the country due to Vail's success in reducing congestion at a major interchange. (more) e 6 Roundabout/Add 4 Funding for Vail's project was developed through a partnership between the town, Vail Associates, Inc. and the Colorado Department of Transportation. The ski company has contributed $500,000 to help build the project, while the Department of Transportation has given $200,000 for signs and striping. # # # *Accidents recorded in January 1996 will be used in a three year comparison running January through June. The average number of accidents during this period for the past three years is 18 with four injury accidents. i nc vH 1 L I KA 1 L 97094901 gg P_ 2 ~ ~ A r 'x C • ~ry~L~I~CC.~, ~C"~ D . Q .

The USFS is currently reviewing this action and has prepared a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Category III EIS is intended to identify and analyze the environmental consequences of this proposed action and alternative actions so that an informed decision can be made by the Forest Supervisor. A critical component of this action is the Town of VailNail Associates Agreement to manage peak periods. This program involves a task force made up of representatives from the Town of Vail, Vail Associates, and the community. This task force will implement programs to manage skier days in a way that reduces pressure on Town . infrastructure during peak skier days and increases skier numbers during traditionally slow times of the season.

This memo will provide some background information to assist the Council in formulating a position on the issue and deciding on the level of involvement it desires. On December l, 1995 the UP and SP Railroads made a joint application to the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) for merger of the two companies and abandonment of the line from Gypsum to the Kansas border. The ICC process includes several deadlines to submit information for consideration by the ICC. January 16, 1996 was the deadline to submit a notice to participate to the ICC. This was done for the TOV through the legal council hired by Eagle County. The next important deadline is March 29, 1996 at which time all comments, protests, and requests for conditions from participating parties are due. 1 The ICC has several options in ruling on the UP/SP application. The word from the "Railroad industry experts" is that the merger will probably be approved. Individual parties opposing the application have voiced concern on topics such as national defense, reduction in competition, increased highway traffic and loss of jobs and businesses. The Council can oppose the merger and abandonment for any specific reasons, oppose only the abandonment for any specific reasons, or request that specific conditions be placed on the approval. The merger and abandonment are a 4.5 billion dollar deal for the UP Railroad. The are obviously concerned about organized opposition delaying or stopping it. They have stated a willingness to deal on the R.O.W., track or both. The $12 million price for the whole line (track and land) has been described as "bargain basement" by the Railroad. However, the $4.6 million value place on the Leadville to Gypsum line is only 1/1Oth of one percent of UPs whole deal. There have been several public meetings organized by State Parks, CDOT and the counties effected by the application. The general consensus that has come out of those public meetings is that the rail corridor must be preserved. The three options, in order of preference, for use of the corridor are 1) retain the current use and rail traffic on the line, 2) find a short-line freight, commuter rail or excursion (scenic) rail operator to take over the line, and 3) initiate "rail banking" on the line and create a recreational trail on the property. Each of these options merit consideration in formulating a position on the issue to present to the ICC. Neither the Eagle County Commissioners or the new Regional Transportation Authority have formed an official position on the issue. James Johnson has stated a desire to create a commuter rail line from Leadville to Gypsum. The creation of a recreational trail does fit into Eagle Counties masterplan for recreational trails and would connect to the TOV via Dowd Junction. The use of the corridor for something other than a railroad would require an agreement by the ICC and the Railroad to "rail banking". This is a technique, created within the National Trails System Act, that permanently postpones the reversionary clauses attached the R.O.W. For rail banking to occur an agency or organization must assume legal responsibility and compensate the Railroad for the property. The Town of Vail has been named in the Notice to Participate submitted by Fritze Kahn, the legal council hired by Eagle and Lake Counties to oversee the ICC proceedings. The towns of Eagle, Minturn, Gypsum and Red Cliff were also named in the notice. The Town of Avon has retained their own council but have committed to cooperating with other organizations. George Roussos will be asking for a financial commitment from the Town of Vail to participate in the process. The dollar amount of that requested commitment has not been stated at this time. Town staff has prepared the following list of questions that the Council may want to ask of George Roussos and/or the Eagle County Commissioners. 1. Our understanding of the ICC process is that they do not look favorably upon requests for conditions that are not supported by concrete plans for alternate uses of a rail corridor. What is the process that Eagle County will follow, from start to finish, in preparing a position to take before the ICC? How do you proposed to achieve a consensus among our group of participating organizations? 2. Part of the UP/SP application included a request to exempt the Leadville to Gypsum line from the normal abandonment process. If this were approved the corridor could go away in a little as 60 days. Has Fritze Kahn prepared an opposition statement to the exemption request? What are the deadlines for that submittal to occur? 3. It is safe to assume that any alternate use of the rail corridor whether it is a commuter rail, a recreation path or something else would need to analyzed through a market study of some sort. Has Eagle County given any thought to the preparation of a market study(s) and do you have any idea of what the associated costs may be? F.Y.I. Suminit County has researched the benefits derived from their recreational path system. In 1991, the 85,112 users of the recreation path system in Summit County expended over $4.3 million, generating over $158,000 in sales tax revenue. 4. Currently, Fritze Kahn has submitted information to the ICC in behalf of seven counties and municipalities. How are you proposing to divide the cost of those attorney fees among the seven? What other costs do you coming out of this process? What is the total amount of funds that Eagle County will be seeking?

The Town of Vail will provide 61 percent of the $1 million 1996 annual budget; Vail Associates, 12 percent; Beaver Creek Resort Company, 21 percent; and the Town of Avon, six percent. Over its seven-year life, the WMB has produced almost $75 million in total sales with an investment of $4.5 million, or a return of $16.68 for every dollar spent, Boyle said. The marketing program for 1996 will target individuals, families and groups through an emphasis on direct mail, public relations, group sales and a front range campaign. As for long-range funding, Boyle said he hoped the 1998 marketing program would be funded by a permanent revenue source. One option favored by Boyle is creation of a special business district from the top of Vail Pass to Cordillera in which businesses would pay a license fee (similar to Vail's business license fee) to support summer marketing. However, the concept may be difFicult to gain legislative support from Eagle County and the state, he said. Another option is to reactivate the county's Economic Development Authority. Boyle is one of four WiVi6 members appointed by the Vail Town Council. The other Vail appointees are: John Garth, Barbara Black and Dean Liotta. There are a total of 8 board members. Frank Johnson, president of the Vail Valtey Tourism & Convention Bureau, which oversees the WIVIB efforts, also presented an update yesterday. PSey projects for 1996 include: merger of the central reservations system and development of a year-round flight program into the Eagle County Regional Airport, Johnson said. --Housing Background and Current Update of Status After reviewing an overview of the town's affordable housing initiatives, Councilman fVlike Jewett floated the concept of earmarking a portion of the town's Real Estate . Transfer Tax (RETT) for housing. The one percent tax, created in 1980, generates about $1.7 million annually and--by ordinance--has been used exclusively to purchase ~ ~more) ~ R CYCLED PAPER f, Council Highlights/Add 1 and maintain open space. Although Jewett, the Council's appointee on the Housing Authority, agreed the issue will be controversial, he said this might be the time to create momentum for action on housing. Following an analysis of the issue--including funding levels needed to complete the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan and funding projections for a stepped-up housing program--the Council will invite public comment on the concept through a series of community meetings. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead has indicated the RETT use has been and can be modified through passage of a Council ordinance rather than a townwide election. In the 1995 community survey, residents identified the most significant issues facing Vail: 1) open space protection; 2) affordable housing; 3) new development regulations to limit density; 4) traffic congestion; 5) air and water quality protection; and 6) water capacity and streamflow protection. The town has reached the halfway mark in implementation of its 1994 open lands plan, taking action on 26 of 51 parcels identified in the document. Also yesterday, the Council expressed.its interest in reactivating the Housing Authority and heard from Steve Stockmar, president of the Vail Village Merchants Association. Stockmar said he met with representatives from four other major constituent groups in Vail (Lionshead Merchants Association, Lodging Association, Vail Valley Restaurant Association, and Gallery Association) and all five organizations agree that housing is the single most important issue to be addressed in Vail. Stockmar said his members were supportive and interested in assisting the Council with its action plan through a public-private partnership. He also indicated he would talk about the RETT concept during a meeting of the Village Merc:hants at 3 p.m. today (1-17). In addition to Stockmar's supportive message on the housing issue, the Council heard from Mitchell Weiss of the Lodging Advisory Committee. Weiss said his group also wants to come to the table to help with the problem. Fie asked the Council to challenge itself by taking risks and "thinking outside the box." Town Manager Bob McLaurin complimented the business community for coming forward to pitch in and work together to improve the . housing situation. Also yesterday, there was a brief discussion about the vatues which .will drive the lottery criteria for the far-sale units at Vail Commons. A draft of the criteria will be presented to the Council in February with the lottery taking place in March. For additional details on yesterday's discussion, contact Andy Knudtsen, Vail senior housing policy coordinator, at 479-2440, or Michael Jewett at 479-1860. --Covered Bridge Building Walkway The Council voted 4-0 to allow East West Hospitality, developer of the Covered Bridge , Building, to proceed through the planning process to allow for the expansion of a private brick paver walkway at the southwest corner of the building onto Town of Vail land. --Information Update After reviewing a letter from the Vail Valley Foundation regarding sponsorship of mountain bike events in Vail during 1996, the Council said it endorsed such events, but agreed to discourage staging mountain bike events in 1996 due to the redevelopment of Golden Peak.

The organization, which represents 23 ski towns, is wrestling with two issues: hiring staff and how to address efforts to privatize ski areas on federal . lands. --0ther Sybill Navas inquired about the proposed "takings" legislation introduced by Sen. Tom Norton of Greeley. The Colorado Municipal League will lobby against the measure during the legislative session. --Site Visits The Council attended two site visits in preparation for appeals which were heard at the evening session. Eeenang Sessuon Braeffs Council members present: Foley, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Navas, Osterfoss --Citizen Participation Former Vail Town Councilman Tom Steinberg recognized Peggy Osterfoss for her years of service to the town. Ostertoss, the focmer mayor, has resigned from the Council effective Jan. 30, due to family demands. Last night was her last public meeting. Steinberg, who has served with all but one of Vail's mayors, said Ostertoss has been the best leader he's worked with. And, as a physician, he said, OsterFoss' decision to put her child before the towrn was the right choice. --Consent Agenda The Council voted 6-0 to approve the consent agenda which included: second reading of an ordinance amending the town's police and fire employees' pension plan; and resolutions designating Colorado Rlational Bank as a depository for the town's pension funds. --Major Amendment to the Vail Athletic Club Special Development District l"he Council voted 6-0 to approve on second reading a major amendment to the 1993 Vail Athletic Club Special Development, District. The modifications to the 1993 plan include creation of three additional accommodation units for a total of 55 AU's; creation of one additionai dwelling unit for a total of 4 DU's; a variety of exterior changes; and a reduction of required parking spaces from 9 to 4 as a result of decreased conference space.

Council Highlights/Add 3 --Design Review Board Appeal, 3275 Katsos Ranch Road The Council voted 4-2 (Navas, Johnston against) to uphold Design Review Board denial of a duplex separation request for a proposed residence to be constructed at 3275 Katsos Ranch Road. Counci9 members voting in support of the DRB decision said they were unable to identify a"significant site constraint" which would permit the separation. For details, contact George Ruther in the Community Development . Department at 479-2145. --Planning & Environmental Commission Appeal, 1339 Westhaven Circle Due to a 3-3 tie vote by the Council, PEC denial of a request for a height variance on the property will stand. The applicant had asked for the variance after it was datermined the residence, currently under construction, exceeds the 33-foot height limitation for residential structures. Three separate roof ridges were constructed a maximum of 8.4 inches above the 33-foot height limitation. Rather than allow an exception to the zoning code, Council members voting in support of the PEC denial (Osterfoss, Foley, Ford) suggested adjusting the 33-foot height rule rather than granting special privileges to applicants. However, the remaining Council members (Navas, Jewett, Johnston) disagreed, saying the Council should be more flexiblein considering variance requests.

CORTI'INLTING EFFOR'TS '8'O DEFEAT PROPOSAL,.S 'I'O SEL.L, FEDERAL SKI L,AiqDS As you know, last year the proposal to sell ski lands was includcd in the b9g budget bill. This bill is called a reconciliataon ball, and the process is u follows. First the Congress passes a budget resolution, which is a see of overall eax and spend'ang goals that the Congres,s wifl follow. These spendang goals may gequirc raising nnore fedecal revenue, as well as.speaading less money on federal progaanis. Changes to !'edetal progaams that result in less spending - like reducing funds spenti on Medicarc - or that raise tnore revenue - like raising taxes or . selling off publac ski lands are put in this Reconciiiation bill. Spend'eng less money direcely on roads, bridges, an.d housing programs, through appropriations bitls, is technically not a part of this process, but is still significant because some program changes are pue in appropriaeinns bil?s, even ehotagh doing so is technically against the nales of the House and Senate. Ylowever, anany such changes vvere enacted an appropriaeions bills this year, and several were vetQed by the President because of t}aese added-on program changes. As you have read in the paper, the WhiYe House and Coagress are still in negotiations over a budget for FY 96 to rcplace the Reconciliation/budget bill [hat was vetoed. A short term °continuing resolution" eo fund agencies whose appropriations bills were vetoed, vvas also. recenYly passed, ectab9ing the govcrnnnent to reopen. What vvill happen 4o these effortz is . cornpletely une9ear, but if thege is an agreetnent reached, such a replacement bill would offer an opporhanity to reconsider the proposed sale of ski lands. However, we don't see a serious etareat firorn thes possibility. We do see a threat froan another soue'ce. Despiee what does or doesn'e happen to the raegotiaedons over the vetoed FY 96 bill, Congress will continue this spring eo vurite a budget bill, and appropriations bills, foe FY 97 in order to put forward their program ideas and to eeduce federal spending. Fugthetmore, the authorizing committees (sueh as the Interior Committee which has jurisduction oder the ski sale issue) will continue to press faeward on polacy changes more reflective of a Republican philosophy. Gaven that efforts in Congress evill be made - and legislaeion marked up by commiftee and considered in the I-iouse and Senate floor, we be(ieve some legis9ation to sell public ski lands as dcry likely to reappear next year, for several reasons: :.iL riunnliNJ h~~U~iAltJ ~UU:i . J The most significant reasan is thaz the proponents = the ski resort opecators - seem to want ii and to intend to work tovvard some provision allowing for the privatization of sld lands, even if it is not the exact wording of the proposal passed by the House this past fall. While the discussions with resort operators have by and large been held by vazious affected town and city official, the reports we have gotten from some of you (and others in states other than Colorado) are that such a sale continues to be of interest tio many, even if not all, of the ski operators. _Given the continuing interest of at least some, if not most, of the resort operators, a. review of the location of some of the ski resocts matched to the jurisdiction of the leadership of most of the key committees and subcommittees reveals that most af the key Congressional leaders have such sld msorts in their districts. Therefor, we feel that even if only a few vocal operators push for ihis provision, it will come up again - and M again, the indications we havP is that some privatization plan would have the support of far more than just a few vocal operdtots. However, even a few operators can push the proposal, if they are situated °un the right Congressional districts. We remind you that reports we have received indicate a very suong interest in diis concept by operators in Alaska, Idaho, and Utah staes whose representatives or senators chair the committees or subcommittees of jurisdictioa. Another important reason for our belief is revenue. Although as drafted originally the ski saIe provision raised fairly little revenue, given the value of the lands in question, ic seems Iikely that with changes to the method of appraisal, and possibly the potential buyers (ie., not making the sale restricted to the current permit holder) ttiis provision could raise substantially more money. While changes of this sort might lose some support among the ski operators, there will be even stronger pressure to make these changes for revenue/deficit purposes. As we eaplained abave, the annual budget bill malces changes to programs in order to raise revenue. Selling public lands is one such potential change. Art additional reason is due to the nature of our success in defeating this proposaI in the fall. Because the proposal. put forward by the House was so extreme, and the quiet method used to enact it with virtually no warning was objectionable to many, our arguments focused on the lack of study and the extremeness of the proposal. We never were forced to argue strictty an the question of whether ski lands should be sald or not. Therefore, the question of whether the idea is fundamentally good or bad has nevcr really been debated. A final reason is philosophy. An azgument has already been made that such sales are in line with a Republican "privatization" plaiform, which holds that privaie businesses operate more efficiently than the federal government. Such land sales also appeal to many ia the western states who feel that the federal government owns too much land whlch could and should be productively managed and operated by local intezests. To summarize, when you have a proposal that is desired by significant elements of the Lu. 00 nci~ 10:ua rnn "cuc a44 iab~ LiL kUBislri5 ASSUCiA"T't,S 1m 009 . t bwsiaaess community wino are lecabeai un the distrccYs of and am persona4ly close to - the elected offacials with jurisdiction over the proposal, the proposat raises Ynoney, money is dcspera,tely bcing sought, and the proposal generally fits with many elements of the parry in power's phelosophy, you vvill see vyhy senior committee staff have told us to bee on this psmposal being revisitcd in 1996. 51"RATEGY: . Assuming ehen that this proposal dyill be reoottsidered, there are two approaches possible. One is to wait until it as introdauxd aaid then fight it. 'Ihis is cutaenly not the best strategy. Once a propossal has bceen fully developed, it has already bcen the topic of numerous meetings and . serategy sessaons by elected offcials, staff, and ehose pushing the proposal. iVluch negoi?aeion • a bas Yaken place, time has been. invested, positions have hardened, and thvse in opposition are - in a defensiee mode trying to usido work ehat has alr^eady beea done attid eo change positions that have aiTeady becn set.

Even more important, the other sade hass had unchallenged oppormneey to get tO Congressional leaders whu might mtherdvise. have been pcrsuadr.d to suppvrt mur position, had we reached thean in time. When yoia have strong reason to belicrre a proposal will arise, a far better and more c,ost cffective stratcgy is to proceed to vvork on it vvithout vvaitang for the other side to let you know the gane's in play. Given ehat a nuYnber of steps muse be taken eventually if this proposal is considertd, it is far better to begin lhem now. Thes not only puts you in a better pWition to prevail, it also giwes you the opportunety to work vvith the committee leadership to affect the shape of the proposal in such a way Yhae ie might be more palaeable to the ski eowtn communiey. Another c.ompelling reason for beginning wmrk on this nowr it must be remeanbered that. as we . said previously, -our most telliaig arguments last yecarr. were based on the fianny Congressional prttcess Yhat was ¢oilowed, and the ex4eemeness of the proposal; ra4her than the funciamen4a1 question of dvhethcr ski lands should bs sold if done in a less extreme wiay. Yast year, wre noted that the proposal as vvriteen raised anumber of unanswered queseaons about community eontrol, oommunity costs, development issaaes, etc.; tbat no one had studied the impac.-t on the affecee.d local comcnunities; that there had been no hearings; that rnost towns were not even awarc of the proposal until after it had already passed the 3-iouse c,ommittee; etc. Nune uf these argumenes went to the substance of the concept: should federal ska lands be sold to private oper-~awrs, and if so, under vahat terms and c;agndieioas? 'I'hese process based argutaicnts were effectiv~ against the pzovisiun Iast year, bul in a nevu session uf Congress, vvith a rewrieren bill and adequa¢e hearings, a good por¢ion of our initial suppore might change posataon - dlldln Op-Jj2Te$SIITP thPy m9u fMR1 d1PIP lMal nntnmilaitipe Accordingly, seveaal steps need co be initiat.ed now and devcloped further over the next few months to affect the outcome of this proposal in 1996. Uli 1U/ b0 nc,L la: uti rA.& ZUZ 544 1465 LI"L RUBBINS ASSUCIATES (¢1005 , 1 Grassroots: Developing relationships with, and gaining the active participation of, ski communities outside of Colorado will be critical to success. Therefore outreach to other towns should begin imrnediately, if this proposal is to be ulrimately defeated or significantly modified, it will be done on the basis of state and iocal mmnicipality concerns, not general environmental concems. To make this a more simple process that does not involve an intense amoum of work for any particulaz CAST member, we would suggcst divid'wg up a target list of other non-Colorado ski communities, and having each CAS'I' member (eather thc Mayor, the Town Managcr, or othcr appropriate ciesignee) each take an assignment. Once we are formally retained, we will work with you to develop a simple reportiug and ooordinating system, lo provide you with target - contacts, and to develop talking points and sample letters that can be used both in outreach anci in your target's communication with federal officials, . Expanding the A,rena av~ Raising tbe Controversy Level: VVhile broad, multi-state community opposition will be the most significant element of.a strategy, another important element zs to raise the profile of the issue so that it cannot be done quieliy. The rnore scru[iny and public discussiun a land sale proposal receives, the bettec for Yotu' purposes. Therefore the CAST members also neec,l to take assignments for attempting to raise the issue's pro6le through local press ooverage. Another important tactic woutd be rQ raise the concern of prominent members of the community, and if possible, interesting them in the effort. There are usually in a ski wmmunity midents (eii}ter full lime pr regular visilprS) who are politically prominent, who have done fundraising or campaign organizing, and who would be concemed about changes to the charac#er of the community in which they have made real estate investments. While this last task m.ust be undercaken gently, ;t would be helpfui if several such people were willing to get involved at least enough to agree to send a letter which coule} be drafted for them. Finatly, many elected officials (not ftom your delegation necessarily) visit ski communities in Colorado. They should be, where apprvpriate, approached. Again, once formally rerained we will work with you on draft op-ed pieces, . letters, etc. Makmg Your Case To Congress: The most basie and fundamental step which needs to begin soon is to communicate on this issue with your elecced officials, bodh ehrough letters and through meetings. Meetings should be scheduled for this recess period in the distcict, if possible. If any CAST member has officials coming to Washington this spring For any reason, meetings with the delegation should be held, or if diey are scheduled on other matters, this issue shoutd be made a part of the meeting. As above, we will pruvide draft lettErs and talking points. Developiag Yowr Case: Finally, CAST members need to seriously discuss, and work together (as weil as with us) to develop fully artieulated conceras about a proposal to sell ski lands. Many have dlready been developed, oT course, but they need to be individualized to fit the particular situation in each community. Por example, some ski communities may aiready be heavily developed. Some may have pristitae slope areas ihat are of concern. Some may have aspects of the stnpe arxi ~.iu' ou nt:.u io:Vi rtan Gud Jbb lyuJ 1..1[. 1tUlittliN5 AJSU~.lAl'ES IQ006 p r . e public land con~'aguration (such as hiling trails e1rough a potential new dedelopment) ehat are un'sque. Soane coYnantanities enay have paPticulae consamints in sewage treatmeait, or Clean Air Act transpoatation/parking constrairrts, that would r,ause concern with new development. We cannot develop these argurnents eviehout local input by the appropriate city management and/or plaranarng staff- . As part of this proms, membePS need eo keeg in the back of ¢heir rnind thhat completely defeating the pmposal may not prove possiblc. Wc habc to strong reason to beliedc compromiase would be requared, but we have enough experience to krwev that it is often the evee?tuW oaatecotgae. lbCPC$OYC, you need to consider ra+hat asspects evould anake the'sale of ski lands pa1atable, and w6ae conditions you would require in legislation in order tm sign off on a privratizaeioa scheme. Whule ehese fallback considerations should not be publicly revealed untal the right time, it is impOfl'tatit fo Statt fraatlitlg them fairly early. We have already indicated that we would look forward t,o continuing to work with CAST on this issue, and that our fee woutd be $4500 per anonth, with no expensses charged (other than travel to Colorado requested by you). As we endicated in 3eptember, ehis is a significant discount fi'orrt our usual ffee, bue is one we have tradieionally offered w anunicipal c?ients, partacularly Co9orado mianicipalities.

I had brought along a portable notebook computer to maintain contact with my off'ice at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center by way of a modem and an 800 phone connection. Unfortunately the computer died upon on arrival at Vail. Fortunately, a computer repa.ir shop directed me to the Vail Library as a place I could get access to the Internet. It was at the library that I met Susan Boyd, who was most helpful in providing me with the access I needed. While there I spoke with her concerning how the library was developing its access to the World Wide Web and the plans to provide multiple terminals for the library's patrons to use this resource. For a town of Vail's size to be able provide such a useful service is very impressive. She and her staff are to be commended for sezing the public ?ibra:y as w natnral plaee fo: such access to be mtide available and for developing such a resource. I also had a chance to show her how to access a few of NASA's web sites that are providing information about earth science and a variety of data both in an educational setting and for scientific use that are available for free. For example, daily updated on-line visualizations of the whole planet showing precipitation, temperature, clouds, and other geophysical parameters and archives of climate data going back ten years can be accessed over the web. 5he immediately saw the educational potential especially as Colorado has an environmentally aware public.

RECYCLEDPAPER The Town of Vail Youth Recognition Award is an award created in 1995 by the Vail Town Council to recognize and reward two outstanding students, one each from Battle Mountain High School and Vail Mountain School. The concept of the award is to provide these outstanding students with a chance to greatly broaden and enhance their educational processes by facilitating their participation in an "internship" type-experience in a resort community in another country and/or hemisphere. The students will be selected by the administration/faculty of each school and submitted to the Vail Town Council. The Town of Vail will then coordinate or facilitate the arrangements for the students to be accepted in an internship program in a Sister City community (St. Moritz, Switzerland) or a ski community involved in exchange programs with Vail (Australian Ski Resort). The award will be presented to the student during school award ceremonies in the spring of their junior year (l lth grade). Students should be appraised of their selection by February of that year so that arrangements for the summer experience can be approached from a realistic time line. The Town of Vail will provide funds for the students travel expenses and will be open to consider room and board expenses if that is required. Such an experience could cover a 6 to 10 week time frame. Vail Town Council will implement this experience through the Vail Valley Exchange program, Merv Lapin, President and Karen Phillips, Director. ~ Vait Mountain School December 30, 1995 Mr. Paul Johnston Vail Town Council 75 South Fruntage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Pau 1: We have conferred at length about the Town of Vail's wish to honor students. via some forin of recognition and perhaps participation in a work study program at one of Vail's sister cities. The criteria you offer for selection are sound, and I think we have an ideal candidate in Tag Hopkins. He has attended Vail. Mountain School since grade one and is currently a member of the junior class. He has received various honors over the years, but he can best be characterized as an unassuming, quiet, young man. Known for his citizenship, Tag's wish to serve has evolved into a leadership style. He currently serves on the student committee for volunteerism in the community. His ideas Lire good, he :C ;]`;e;'!;VP. 3fInP.making rnntact :'?t!h J:]r{Q11S nCLa:lIZ7t::ll`: ::lG~ Ii:ti • P . 70~~~~W-C~:C^L:^h i;°ll~,.',Ilt. A related anecdote that comes to mind took place during our most seve?-e snow storm this fiall when Vail Pass was closed overnight and places of refuge were soubht by the Salvation Army, the Vail Police Department, and the churches. Tag phoned me at home around 10:00 p.m. and aaked permission to open the school to stranded travelers, offering ro chaperone ancl serve as se.curity person for them through the night. The police did not have enough personnel to coordinate his ott~er on that occasion, and so Tag created a sign-up sheet fior students and staff inembcrs who w ill be willing to take three-hour shifts through the night, in the event of another such happeninc. Tag is an athlete and his participation is characterized by perseverence. He iins been in' Ski Club Vail for a number of years and they value his participation there. He has played on onr soccer team, serving as co-captain during the most recent varsity season. Tag is a diligent student. He is inquisitive, and his academic record reFlects a fine perfiormance in a full schedule of college preparatory courses during each term of seconclaiy school. Regardinc extra-curriculars, you may know that we have presented many drama productions known for their clever staging and technology. Tag has been the man behind the scene. He is selti-tau'iht in this recard and a very effective crew member. I know that the recognition you envisi.on insists that students nominated be of unquestionable integrity. I am confident that Tag meets this requirement also. His rnoral reasoning is well developed. I like that he questions rules and. laws that appear to him to. be unjust, but he does not view, standards as belng arbitrarily imposed and therefore something to set aside or circumvent. He has not been involved in incidences of breaking the law or disregarding regulations of the schooL I Utl:..vG lIC i1J -il-_ u.i ~tC . . For all the reasons mentioned above, I consider Taa to be a person worthy of your consideration for this honor. I believe he is a good citizen of our community and would represent Vail positively, if biven the opportunity. Thank you for creatinb a program of recognition for local high school students.

This exceptional studendathlete's name is Dana Carlson. She has , distinguished herself in many areas, both in her school and her community. It is my hope that this letter can capture her involvement and impact in those venues. Dana is first and foremost a fine student. She takes the most rigorous curriculum available to her at Battle Mountain High School and achieves top grades. She does this while participating in athletics at the varsity level. Dana is a leader both in the classroom and on the court. Her fellow classmates and athletes look to her and respect her opinions. She is highly regarded by her teachers and especially by her coaches. Dana has also excelled in student activities. She has played major roles in school drarnatic productions and has participated on the speech and debate team. She has been published as a young author and has traveled to Mexico to study Spanish and improve her skills in the language. Given all these accomplishments, it may be difficult to comprehend that her greatest strength is not in any of these areas. Her greatest area of strength is in the area of service. Dana devotes herself to many service opportunities. At school, she is the student representative to the District Accountability Advisory Committee for the entire school district. She brings the student voice and perceptions to the committee. She also serves her fellow students as a bilingual tutor for monolingual Spanish-speakers. In the community, her service has many outlets. Dana has been a volunteer in a soup kitchen in Denver as well as at the local library, reading to children. Dana has consistently given of her time teaching in the Sunday school at her church as well as during vacation bible school. In her church, she is a member of the youth choir and youth group which also participates in outreach activities in the community. Dana Carlson is truly an exemplary model for all,students to attempt to emulate. She is a very caring and kind young woman who is well-liked by everyone. I know of no other person who would be more deserving of this newly-estabiished award. She has my utmost respect and unflagging support as well as my highest recommendation. Thank you for your kind attention to this letter. Sincerely,. r~~Vv Erik S. Fredell, Ed.D. "The Pride of Eastern Eagle County; In a Class by Ourselves" ~p`'TT)Le P.O.

Woodall - Assistant Principal Ms. Judy Caligiuri Mr. Robert Isbell - Athletic Director Guidance Counselors V ~ NOMINATION VAIL TOWN COUNCIL YOUTH RECOGNITION AWARD I would like to second Gerald Schmidt's nomiration of Dana Carlson for the 1995 TOV Youth Recognition Award. In my twenty yeara as a Vail resident and Battle Mountain High School teacher, I have had the opportunity to work closely with many of our young peopfe, and I believe that Dana is the type of person we want to honor. Since Mr. Schmidt has enumerated her many activities to you, I would like to focus on her personal qualities. I have known Dana for three years as her Spanish teacher and as her supervising teacher for International Studies in Spanish and Bilingual Teaching Assistant. She is an extremely hard working person who sets high goals for herself and usually achieves them. I have never heard her say that she can't do somethmg; rather, she chaVlenges herself, perseveres, asks questions, practices until she achieves her goal. It is my understanding that she would like to combine her interest in business and Spanish and prepare for a career in international business or media. Dana cares about others and is always willing to help others, even if it means giving up some of her own limited free time. She has played an integral part in establishing a bilingual teaching assistant program at Battie Mountain wtiich helps our staff work with our non-English speaking students. As a study partner in Advanced Placement Spanish, she chose one of our Mexican students, not only to improve her own Spanish but also to establish links to that group of students. She volunteers in the community and at her church, and can always be counted on to lend a helping hand with any school activity. She iSn't always in the spotlight and often performs tasks for which she gets little credit or thanks. Dana is a model of good behavior, perscmal responsibility and high moral character. I would trust her completely with anything. She is always -courteous and treats other people with respect and dignity. She is an clear and independent thinker, and she is not negatively influenced by others. She chooses her friends carefully and is loyal to them, yet is not afraid to disagree. She is keenly interested in other cultures and readily accepts diversity. Dana's disposition is cheertul, positive a.nd optimistic. She is just a joy to be around! She sprinkles her interests with enthusiasm, coupled with hard work. She animates and encourages her teammates, and she consoles them when they play at less than their optimum.

In addition to guaranteeing that these corporations won't have to pay for the privilege of permanently placing their equipment in local . taxpayer's streets, the bill forces local municipal taxpayers to subsidize this use of public property by narrowly limiting costs that municipalities may recover on their taxpayers' behalf. Backgrouand As major consumers of phone service, and on behalf of our residents and businesses, Colorado municipalities welcome competition in local telecommunications service. We believe that, in a competitive environment, municipal conditions on right -of-way access should be "competitively neutral" between service providers and should not constitute a barrier to entry" into the local market. These sensible concepts were what we and the industry began taiking about over a year ago, when the "right- of-way issue" was first raised. Unfortunately, as SB 96-10 illustrates, the focus of the issue has now veered sharply from its reasonable beginnings. ~ervnng tllne 5tate's ][nterest? Last session's HB 95-1335 illustrated the State's strong interest in fostering competition across Colorado in the provision of local phone service. This does not mean, .however, that the State's interest is automatically aligned with whatever US West's private corporate competitors may desire. Often corporate objectives have little or nothing to do with the State's interest in fostering competition. The industry's present goal of obtainirag rent-free use of ublic ro Loud protests that SB 96-10 really does somehow serve the St~ateSSn teres Pare unconv nc nbjec ~ee inescapable fact is that the corporations pushing SB 96-10 have flourished in Colorado and in other states where they have paid a fair rental for use of the public's right-of-way. Anecdotal examples of local government inconvenience to industry should not be indulged to rationalize the statewide roll-back of locai elected officials' authority that SB 96-10 proposes. , -OVER- ' Y 1 VVhy We Oppose This Bill • Rent-Free Use of Public PropeM., SB 96-10 terminates the traditional municipal authority to . charge a fair rental to private telecommunications corporations that permanently occupy a portion of the public's property with their equipment. This authority has existed for decades. For example, in 1893 the United States Supreme Court rejected the now familiar argument that such municipal assessments are actually "taxes", finding instead that the City of St. Louis: attempted to make [a telecommunications corporation] pay for appropriating to its own and sole use a part of the streets and public places of the City. It is seeldng to collect rent. Now, when there is this permanent and exclusive appropriation of a part. of the highway, is there in the nature of things anything to inhibit the public from exacting rental for the space thus occupiP,d? Obviously not. Suppose a municipality permits one to • occupy space in a public park, for the erection of a booth in which to sell fruit and other articles; who would question the right of the City to charge for the use of the ground thus . occupied, or call such charge a tax, or anything else except rental? City of St. Louis v Western Union Tel Co, 148 U. S. 92, 98-99 (1893). • A. Snecial Benefit for the Telecommunications Com anies Under SB 96-10 only telecommurucahons service providers are relieved of their rental obligation. Any other private person or company that wishes to occupy the public streets for private commercial purposes would still be obliged to pay for the privilege. • Ternunation of Existing Rental Obli ations Numerous cable companies, competitive-access providers and independent phone-service companies presently have franchises and other right-of- way use agreements with Colorado municipalities. Under these agreements, the companies pay a percentage of their gross revenues derived from activities within the jurisdiction as rent. SB 96-10 prohibits any assessment based upon a percentage of gross revenues. The bill thus proposes to immediately terminate payments to municipalities under these contracts. • Termination of "In-Kind" Assessments. Communities often zeceive non-monetary, or "in-ldnd", compensation from private companies that occupy their rights-of-way. These in-ldnd services, such as public T. V. channels and local communication networks, provide important benefits to the community and would often be prohibitively expensive for the municipality to purchase at market rates on behalf of taxpayers. SB 96-10 would immediately terminate in-lcind assessments . pursuant to existin~ agreements, and would prohibit such assessments in the future. Thus, communities would either have to pay the company's market price for these services or do without them. ~ Limited Cost-Recoverv The bill provides that municipalities may recover only certain costs associated with a telecommunication corporation's use of the public's streets. Of course, to the extent that these costs are not recovered, the bill effectively forces local taxpayers to subsidize the private corporation's use of public property for private purposes. It is possible to conceive of reasonable legis.lation concerning municipal right-of-way management that is rationally related to the State's interest in fostering local phone-service competition. SB 96-10 is not such a bill. We respectfully urge your opposition to this bill, as written. , • Schuss~ . c:-: ~ag. ~ targstmg warm° we ther -set ~ By Andrew Hood : • Daily Staff Writer - 66 his is ara adeal sataaation for a publie case No longer are ski areas trying to study taat showcases tae healtay advamtages of a steal skiers from each other: _Now they're going after the Walt Disney ski vacation versus tlae more sedentary beach.- and cruise set, offering incentives to . aaad comnxercaafl Y~asney Worla~ experiences. turn beach-combers into powder sruSrki industry officials are taking - Kristen Kopplin advantage of last week's mega-bliz- - Copper Mountain spokeswoman zard on the East Coast as a chance ~ ; d_ : - . • ~ • to get more skiers to vacation in Colorado.

We at NWCCOG want to be sure that our region makes good use of GOCO dollars so we took a look at how our region fared compared to the statewide tlisbursement of funds. Region XII's score card is listed below. We compared the total for each category to the state grant awards for that category to come up with a percentage of grants received in our region. As a region we cover 9% of Colorado's total land mass. The results demonstrate that we aren't up to speed on collecting our share of funds in the category of open space, probably in part due to the high matching fund requirement In the rest of the categories we've taken a good share of the available funds, faring best in the local government facilities category. _Scott Hobson of Summit County has the following advice regarding open space grants: • 1995 grants seemed to focus on long range projects. We may need to get a volunteer from the west slope on the GOCO volunteer grant review team. Summit County has submitted the name of a volunteer grant reviewer which we hope will put the west slope on more familiar terms with GOCO. • Open Space grants focus on natural areas, more so than areas that are intended to be turned into parks. • Open space and trails must be integrated into your overall land use plans. As you revise your land use plans, be sure to incorporate trails and open space. GOCO looks for criteria oropen space plans that are tied into a community's long range planning process. - NWCCOG's advice is io continue to watchfor grant application deadlines noted in each issue of this newsletter, and call those that have had success for advice (see below) when preparing your next GOCO grant application. NWCCOG's community development departrnent is more than happy to assist our smallest communities with GOCO applications as time permits.
