These stairways provide the only means of access to the two residential units below the Tyrolean Restaurant. The applicant is seeking approval to combine the two units into one dwelling unit.

Gore Creek, for example, has risen six inches in the past 24 hours, according to Public VVorks Director Larry Grafel. "We're strictly in a precautionary mode at this point," Grafel said. "But we're prepared to mobilize, if needed." The free sand material and empty sandbags are available for public distribution at three locations: Stephens Park in West Vail; the Vail Police Department parking lot (east side); and the parking lot at the exit 180 interchange in East Vail. Residents should bring a shovel and are asked to fill their owrn bags. In 1984 a series of mudslides caused extensive property damage to the West Vail, Booth Falls and Bald fVlountain areas in Vail. For more information about sandbags, condition reports or other flood related assistance, please call the Town of Vail Public Works Department at 479-2159 between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. For after hours assistance, call police dispatch at 479-2200. # # # Printed by Pam Brandmeyer 5/09/96 5:01pm From: Pam Brandmeyer To : Bob M n Subje JET CENTER CC: Anne Wright, Suzanne Silverthorn Honey Taylor, calling from the JET CENTER office in Gypsum (524-7700, Ex. 18) Galled to invite Council/staff to attend a barbecue/rally, and then the subsequent County Commissioner meetinq, in Eagle at the following times: Tuesday, May 14, 1996 12:30-2:00 P.M.

Frontage Rd. Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mr. NicLaurin: ' It is with great pleasure that I direct your attention to the article "A New Role for Vail" on page 84 of this May issue of HEMISPHERES, the inflight magazine of United Airlines. The only drawback to being the magazine's editor is that time restraints limit my own writing to perhaps one article a year. Given that discipline, you can imagine that I'm very particular about what the subject will be. In this case, Vail's cultural summer blooming combined with the allure of the Bolshoi Academy classes was too charming to pass up. I enjoyed visiting Vail and writing the story. My hope is that you will enjoy reading it and, of course, I welcome your comments. Just for your information, HEMISPHERES has a monthly circulation of 500,000, and readership of close to 2,000,000 high-income professionals who travel frequently. Sincerely, .
