West Vail, CO 81657 ' I,ear Pam: T'hank you for rneePirag wit3a Pcaul Gottlzelf and rnyself last rnonth. p belive that it was productive to have all of the interested parties together to discuss this issue. 1 was ntost irrzpressed with everyorae frorrt The T'own of Vaal and their eagerizess to help with the problem of delivery truck parkang on Gore Creek I)live. I would like to surnrreari,ze sorrce of the atems discussed in the rneeting so thcat otheps frorra the T'owrz can be irzfonned cas to the concerns of the affected parties. It is the feelings of both T'he I odge at Vaal and the Lodge I'rorrtenade Shop Orvners that the burden of delivery parking has beera borrze solely by these two parties for long enough. ` T'rucks hcave been parking ora the south side of Gore Creek Drive for over eight years while deliverzrcg to other mercharats and restarsrccnts in the village. We belaeve that at is time to address this issue cand look for other solutaons to the pilrking of delivery trucks in thas area. T'he trucks parked along Gore Creek Drive affect the shop owners in several ways. T7ie shop owners suffer an negcative economac irnpact an that their shops are not visible for a . large portion of the dcay while trucks are parked in front of their shops. N'hale this riaay seerri to be an ideal time for trucks to rnctke delaveries to the other shops in town, this fs a prirrce tirrze for shoppers thaP spend a sigraifacant amount of rreoney while shopping rather tharz skiing. Frorrt ca retail standpoint, a signifacarat amount of all shoppers coryae into a store because they see the shop arad what it has to offer whale walking by. T7ae I,odge Prornenade Shops do raot enjoy the sarne benefit of thas wcalk up traffic as other shops in town due to the parking o,f trucks directly irz front of thear shops. dt should be poirtted out thag alrreost all of these trucks are not making deliveraes to the shops on the I,odge Prornenade. Many of these trucks are either food and liquor trucks making deliveries to t3ae restaurants or trucks rnakirtg delaveries to other shops irz town. ~ ORIENT-EXPRE55 HOTElS The Lodge at Vail, 174 East Gore Creek Drive, Vail, Colorado 81657, USA Telephone (970) 476-5011 Facsimile (970) 476-7425 , ~ The Lodge at Vail suffers a negative economic impact due to different reasons. As Concierge and Front Desk Manager of The Lodge at Vail for many years I can not count the number of times that I was told by a guest upon departure that they would never return to the Lodge due to the noise and exhaust from trucks on Gore Creek Drive, It is my opinion that we loose a minimum of two guests per week that will never return to The Lodge due to this problem. ~ ~ Town of Vail code dictates that Trucks are not permitted before 9: 00 am. In all of my eight years at the Lodge this policy has never been strictly enforced by the iown of Vail. I have called numerous times to report violators and have always been assured that the Town would enforce the delivery time policy. Complaints would always stop for a few days, however, as enforcement would begin to lapse the complaints would begin a'gain as the trucks would return to make early deliveries; many times as early as 4:00 am. The problem of truck noise is compounded by otner factors such as the need of ihe Town of Vail to remove snow. We all know that the snow must be removed, however, due to the trucks parking along Gore Creek Drive early in the morning the snow plowsi must start on Gore Creek Drive first so that this area is clear before the trucks begin arriving. ~ It is the opinion of The Lodge at Vail and the Lodge Promenade shop owners that both parties have suffered a substantial economic burden for long enough. We would like to propose that the Town of Vail find another area for delivery tnccks to park. ~ These two parties have suffered for eight years with delivery trucks parked directly in front of a building that they are not delivering to. We would suggest some type of a rotating system, either daily, monthly, or semi-annually, that more fairly distributes the burden of delivery trucks. Trucks could be r'otated from one side of Gore Creek Drive to the other as well as from the,West end to the East end. We believe that this burden should be shared among all shop owners in .town an'd are not asking to be exempt from this burden in the future, but rather ask that this problem be distributed more equitably. ~ In our meeting it was stated by one Town of Vail official that there is no support for a central delivery plan or any other delivery system. It is our belief that if all merchants in the Town of Vail must suffer the same conditions that the Promenade Shop lOwners have had to endure for the last eight years perhaps there would be some support for a eentral delivery system. This very well may lead to a constructive dialogue that will result in a better system that will benefit the entire ToWn. ~ Best regards, i AW ; I Charley Viola ~ Manager of Owner Serviees ~ . I I ~ I ~ . , ~ tl PARKffNG gN THE VIg,LAGE C0RE In the late 1970's the Town began to realize that uncontrolled parking and driving in the Village Core was becoming a problem. From 1980 to 1990 various systems were developed to regulate the traffic, such as Check Point Charlie and control gates. At the same time the Town went through a tremendous growth period which not only increased the need for the business owners and delivery drivers to access the village, but made the systems we developed to control the traffic contradictory to the needs of the community. Once again, in 1993, the Town resolved to remove traffic from Bridge Street by eliminating two loading zones (Bridge Street and West Hanson Ranch Road). No new loading zones were created. A permit system was developed on a"need to use" basis. The only requirements for obtaining a permit was that you had to be delivering "large, heavy or bulky" items, during certain hours and from specific permit zones. Business owners were given special "merchant" permits seasonally to pazk in front of their businesses as long as they were out of the Core by 8:30 AM in the winter and 9:00 AM in the summer. This system, as with any system, has its good points and its flaws. The two most critical concerns from the Town's point of view were that, first, it placed Town employees in conflict with business owners and, secondly, removing the two loading zones didn't get rid of the vehicles. It only rnoved them to other over used zones. The permit zones in front of the Lodge Promenade and the Christiania were especially impacted. The businesses and residents in these areas were subjected to loud, noisy trucks, fumes and general congestion. Business entrances , were blocked, sometimes for hours. On Apri14, 1996, members from the Lodge asked the Town staff to review the current locations of the loading zones to find a more equitable area. A survey was sent to Village Core businesses and Lodge condominium owners, to determine the overall feelings and general opinion of this group. The results of this survey varied, as you might expect, from where the businesses were located and from their own perspective. For example, most condo owners felt parking and delivery zones should be far away, some business owners wanted to park in front of their stores, while other business owners wanted accessibility as Long as no one was allowed to park in front of their stores. Based on such a broad spectrum of responses, the Town staff put together several options and a recommendation. No suggestion offered will be a solution to all the concerns. The one alternative that comes closest to resolving most of the problems - the underground loading facility - is neither politically or financially a possibility at this time. This decision is extremely complex, and involves making a philosophical decision on the direction the Town will follow for the immediate future. . , PARKiNGJN-THE-y_II,I,AGIE CpRE I I BIZSIlNES~ 0-MINERS RESPON-SE ~ I ~ I Questionl I Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: j We need to keep Bridge Street free from vehicles to enhance the pedestrian entrance to the mountain. ~ I _24 Strongly agree I 4 Slightly agree -2_ Neither disagree nor agree --3- Slightly disagree I 4_ Strongly disagree i Don't know I Comments: .j 1.

Monthly - 6 months 4. No!! 5. There is no way this would work. Must put them in specific area, and keep them at these locations. k. General Comments: 1. Overall, I think the TOV staff have been better than years past. Some have understood logistical problems of A.S.E. with some items (skis, boots and poles) and been more patient. When we have come up Wall St. they haven't been as "nasty" as years past which I tha.nk you all for. We have tried to do those drops or pick-ups as fast as possible. 2. We have operated our store for 13 years at 122 East Nleadow Drive. Our merchandise includes heavy large objects, as well as smaller fragile articles. To park at the locations desil-nated north of the International Bridge to make our deliveries imposes a dangerous condition on merchandise, delivery personnel and pedestrians. We make every effort to deliver durinc, off peak times, and we appreciate the cooperation we have had from the police dept. over the years. We make every effort to provide our customers with a quality and interesting shopping experience while in our store. In order to do this we must have reasonable access to the store with our delivery vehicles. If access is lirnited beyond the present level we will be forced to consider moving from Vail down valley. Ta move the large amount of inerchandise that we must, a"central" dock away from our store is out of the question. 3. Two ideas which I feel should be looked at: 1) TOV lease or purchase small areas off of main streets to install pocket parking areas for loading and unloadin~ only - those areas could be metered and permit only access. These could be dispursed thruout the village so no one area is impacted. • ° 3 e. Lis~Q ~ puJ4 IF 0 TFI FET . ~ A 2) Tug and Cart System - where a more central loading/unload area is a tug drops off carts around the Village and either merchant can unload their own cart or pay a fee for unloading.

The delivery people are going to deliver no matter where, they may complain but they are in the business of selling and you have to go out of your way to make sales. The Village is missing the mark by allowing all these deliveries. The deliveries make it a modern place to visit which lacks a lot of chann because of the cars and traffic. People like to go to Europe not because it is modern, but because it has old world charm. If Vail can keep this kind of attraction for tourists then it will stay on top. Lets get rid of the trucks and a lot of the cars that have edged their way on the streets in the last few years. a W1IBO IUSH`iS 11Il1E VgLLAG1P~ ~ORE The staff at Check Point Charlie keep a log of all the vehicles that approach the booth. We break the vehicles down into seven categories based on their needs or use of the village access. ll. Cars - Small vehicles requesting a permit to run errands or drop off small parcels. 2. Dellaven-y 'II'raaclks - The larger vehicles specifically designed for delivery. 3. Deflaveiry ~ars - Smaller vehicles such as in #l. However, they deliver large, heavy or bulky items. 4.

This log does not list which loading zones are utilized by the vehicles, how long they stayed in the zone nor the location(s) they delivered to. It, also, will not show how many vehicles use the permit zones (illegally) on the east end of the village near the Christiania. ~ i CHECK POINT CHARLIE STATISTICS JUNE 1995 - MAY 1996 Cars Delivery Delivery Construc.

PARKING IN THE VgILLAGE cCORE In the late 1970's the Town began to realize that uncontrolled parking and driving in the Village Core was becoming a problem. From 1980 to 1990 various systems were developed to regulate the traffic, such as Check Point Charlie and control gates. At the same time the Town went through a tremendous growth period which not only increased the need for the business owners and delivery drivers to access the village, but made the systems we developed to control the traffic contradictory to the needs of the community. Once again, in 1993, the Town resolved to remove traffic from Bridge Street by eliminating two loading zones (Bridge Street and WestHanson Ranch Road). No new loading zones were created. A permit system was developed on a"need to use" basis. The only requirements for obtaining a permit was that you had to be delivering "large, heavy or bulky" items, during certain hours and from specific permit zones. Business owners were given special "merchant" permits seasonally to park in front of their businesses as long as they were out of the Core by 8:30 AM in the winter and 9:00 AM in the summer. This system, as with any system, has its good points and its flaws. The two most critical concerns from the Town's point of view were that, first, it placed Town employees in conflict with business owners and, secondly, removing the two loading zones didn't get rid of the vehicles. It only moved them to other over used zones. The permit zones in front of the Lodge Promenade and the Christiania were especially impacted. The businesses and residents in these areas were subjected to loud, noisy trucks, fumes and general congestion. Business entrances . were blocked, sometimes for hours. On April 4, 1996, members from the Lodge asked the Town staff to review the current locations of the loading zones to find a more equitable area. A survey was sent to Village Core businesses and Lodge condominium owners, to determine the overall feelings and general opinion of this group. The results of this survey varied, as you might expect, from where the businesses were located and from their own perspective. For example, most condo owners felt parking and delivery zones should be far away, some business owners wanted to park in front of their stores, while other business owners wanted accessibility as Long as no one was allowed to park in front of their stores. Based on such a broad spectrum of responses, the Town staff put together several options and a recominendation. No suggestion offered will be a solution to all the concerns. The one alternative that comes closest to resolving most of the problems - the underground loading facility - is neither politically or financially a possibility at this time. This decision is extremely complex, and involves making a philosophical decision on the direction the Town will follow for the immediate future. - PAR1ULYGJN_T_HE_VILLAGEX9RE BSJSIlyESS_OWNERSRESPQN-SE QuestiQnl.

Comments: 1. Business owners should be allowed to -use it as before.to unload their cars in front of their respective stores - larger delivery vehicles and trucks should be relocated. . 2. A truck loading zone should be located next to the Vail Parking Structure in front of the Mountain Haus and the Vail Athletic Club. . 3. Should be better controlled - north side of street 4. All should be located to a central facility (all trucks should unload on Intemational Bridge) - no private vehicle parking 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Golden Peak should have been for loading facility. . 5. Eliminate completely . 6. Area outside Village with utilization of carts or dollies to take merchandise to destinations. Store owners in this area should continue to be allowed to drive their cars, into the area for purposes of unloading boxes quickly during specified times. 7. Permit zones should be very limited and use should be almost impossible to obtain - it's only a long block from the parking structure. . 8. Please change this - it is loud and polluting 9. Trucks etc. should never block a business more than 30 minutes! . 10. Move to area by International Bridge ' 11. Other side of the street 12. Use of zone at Willow Bridge 13.. Over by the bridge . Question! • Are there any other permit zones you would like to see relocated? If so which one? Where should it be relocated? Comments: 1. Mill Creek Zone _ . - • . . - 1 block East below parking lot The Permit zone in front of Mill Creek Court Building - the handicap zone should be switched with the permit zone - closer access for handicap/large trucks would be in front of parking lot - not local business, '3.

Ques_tion -S If you support building a Loading Facility, who do you think should pay for it? -8- Private funds to build and operate (expenses would then be incurred by the private business who use the facility ) 7 Public funds to build and operate (expenses would then be paid for through increased taxes) 7 Public funds collected through a special assessment or bond Comments: 1. None of the above is acceptable. It should be that both vendors and private businesses along with TOV pay for such facility at no tax increase. 2. No!!! ' 3. Don't want to pay for it 4. Whichever gets the job done most efficiently and quic&ly 5. Suggestion - support electrical car transportation for those deliveries that constitute upper Bridge Street delivery. Maybe you need to observe Zermatt Systems (Switzerland). Instead of approving a displaced parking structure - maybe this should have been the sight for the loading facility? Makes Tmwan sense 6. No new taxes Question_2 To prevent specific locations within the Village core from being impacted more than others, Y should permit zones be rotated on a regular basis? _9 Strongly support rotating permit zones _5_ Slightly support rotating permit zones -8_ Don't know -3_ Slightly would not support A0 Strongly would not support Comments: 1. If we know where they are we pay rent based on traffic patterns. Start moving them and I may commit to high ticket rent and then find a loading zone moved in front of ine. 2. _ Only if Truck Loading Facility can't be built 3. Let's not confuse the issue by changing it! ~ Q-utstionlQ If you supported rotating of the permit zones, how often should they be changed? _2- Daily --5- Weekly -4- Monthly -A- Seasonally -1_ Yearly Comments: 1. Just adds to confusion 2. Bad idea! 3. Monthly - 6 months 4. No!! 5. There is no way this would work. Must put them in specific area, and keep them at these locations. ~ 1 General Comments: 1. Overall, I think the TOV staffhave been better than years past. Some have understood logistical problems of A.S.E. with some items (skis, boots and poles) and been more patient. When we have come up Wall St. they haven't been as "nasty" as years past which I thank you all for. We have tried to do those drops or pick-ups as fast as possible. 2. We have operated our store for 13 years at 122 East Meadow Dri ve. Our merchandise includes heaw large objects, as well as smaller fragile articles. To park at the locations designated north of the International Bridge to make our deliveries imposes a dangerous condition on merchandise, delivery personnel and pedestrians. We make every efFort to deliver during off peak times, and we appreciate the cooperation we have had from the police dept. over the years. We make every effort to provide our customers with a quality and interesting shopping experience while in our store. In order to do this we must have reasonable access to the store with our delivery vehicles. , If access is limited beyond the present level we will be forced to consider moving from Vail down valley. To move the large amount of inerchandise that we must, a"central" dock away from our store is out of the question. 3. Two ideas which I feel should be looked at: , 1) TOV lease or purchase small azeas off of main streets to install pocket parking areas for loading and unloading only - those areas could be metered and permit only access. These could be dispursed thruout the village so no one area is impacted. • 0 ~ o. ~ FET I . F`1 . A 2) Tua and Cart System - where a more central loading/unload area is a tug drops off carts around the Village and either merchant can unload their own cart or pay a fee for unloading.

The delivery people are going to deliver no matter where, they may complain but they are in the business of selling and you have to go out of your way to make sales. The Village is missing the mark by allowing all these deliveries. The deliveries make it a modern place to visit which lacks a lot of charm because of the cars and traffic. People like to go to Europe not because it is modern, but because it has old world charm. If Vail can keep this kind of attraction for tourists then it will stay on top. Lets get rid of the trucks and a lot of the cars that have edged their way on the streets in the last few years. . , WHO U5~~ ~ILLAGE (~ORE The staff at Check Point Charlie keep a log of all the vehicles that approach the booth. We break the vehicles down into seven categories based on their needs or use of the village access. fl. Cars - Small vehicles requesting a permit to run errands or drop off small parcels. 2. Delnvea-y 'II'runclks - The larger vehicles specifically designed for delivery. 3. Deflgvery ~airs - Smaller vehicles such as in #1. However, they deliver large, heavy or bulky items. 4. Constranctnon - Service or construction vehicles working in and around the village. 5. T.O.V. - Town vehicles for maintenance, landscaping or snowplowing. 6. Taxn's - Commerical taaci's dropping off fares. 7. Ogllner - Any other vehicle going to Check Point Charlie asking for information, directions or assistance. This log does not list which loading zones are utilized by the vehicles, how long they stayed in the zone nor the location(s) they delivered to. It, also, will not show how many vehicles use the permit zones (illegally) on the east end of the village near the Christiania.

McLaurin, Town Manager DATE: June 7, 1996 RE: 1996 Goals and Critical Strategies Attached to this memo are a series of goals and critical strategies which (hopefully), reflects the Council's policy directions. These issues were generated at the Council's retreat held earlier this year. At the retreat the Council identified a number of specific issues and topics that you wish to address. We took each of these "issue areas" and developed a series of goal statements. The text beneath the goal statement are "critical strategies." These strategies are more specific that the goal statement and reflect specific strategies and tactics to help accomplish the goal. Beneath the critical strategies section we have identified the specific action or task which, when accomplished, will help achieve the goal and the Council's policy directions. As we discussed at the retreat, once you have reviewed these goals and strategies and are satisfied with them, they will be formally adopted by Council resolution. Once they have become a formal statement of policy, they will be used as the basis for preparation of the 1996/1997 Town budget. The action items will form the foundation of the work program for the staff during this period as well. At the meeting on Tuesday we are asking that you review this work so far and make modifications and changes you deem appropriate. Following this meeting we will make the changes you have requested and bring this document back for another review. You will note, that there are still several areas we have not specifically identified (e.g. We are continuing to complete this section. Also, the leadership section is still extremely rough, and I wil attempt to prepare a second draft over the weekend. We look forward to discussing this item with you on Tuesday. .

Ford Amphitheater o To solicit public input on parking and access issues in Ford Park. VVe need vour ideas and support ~ ' Back,ground Ford Park is home to summer programs of a number of cultural and recreational groups--neighborhood park, play and picnic areas; Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, the Vail Nature Center, Vail Valley Foundation concerts and Bravo! Colorado performances in the Ford Amphitheater, volleyball/ lacrosse/,soccer tournaments and league softball games on the athletic fields. These diverse groups produce heavy, and sometimes , conflicting usage of Ford Park facilities. Ford Park Mana ement Stucl . A Ford Park Management Study was initiated by the Town of Vail to study and present to the Tawn Council alternative plans to resolve problems arising from-this diverse use--most notably, increased traffic, limited parking for events, access to the Park for service wehicles, and access for handicapped and elderly visitors. A task force, inade up of Ford Park user groups and citizens representing neighborhood groups, has been meeting since January in an effort to resolve these problems. . Access is a particularly thorny issue for the Gardens because of our landlocked location in the iniddle of the- park. Many of our visitors are handicapped or elderly and have difficulty walking a distance. ~ Solutions to these problems exist, however, and we need your input to the Town to show that Ford Park can work for everyone. lFurfher clevelopment of Betty Foxd Alpine Gardens anci our Eclaacation Center has been paxt oii holci until these assues are resolwed. How the "Open House" Will Work You will have the opportunity to see alternative solutions developed so far by the task force--possible answers to parking problems, access routes into Ford Park, and policies that may govern Park usage. You can react to the,plans presented, offer new ideas, or choose "elements" of various alternatives that you like. These ideas and reactions will feed back to the task force and into recommendations made to the Town Council. The Open House format allows you to stop by the Ford Amphitheater at your convenience, see alterriative layouts, and write down coinments. Others who follow will see a11 previous comments and can react to them as well as offer new ideas. Please come with vour ideas and support for Betty Ford Alpine Gardens.

Post Office Box 2308 ' Silverthorne, Colorado 80498 ' 970 468-0295 ` FAX 970 468-1208 May 31, 1996 Dear NV1/CCOG County or Towrn Nlanagers, I recently received some comments concerning the revised Regional VVater Quality Management Plan (208 Plan) from Mr. Pifher, representing the City of Colorado - Springs (his letter is attached) after the 208 Plan was adopfied by the Board. I would like to offer some comments regarding Mr. Pifher's letter, and request your input in , regards to an appropriate NVVCCOG response to Mr. Pifher's letter. With regard to Mr. Pifher's first comment on Outstanding ln/aters designation for the Holy Cross Wilderness, the 208 Ptan recommendation is "investigation as to fihe appropriateness" of this designation. In order to assess whether "Outstanding VVaters" designation is appropriate, water quality data is needed. The Water Quality Control Division will be conducting basin water quality monitoring in our region for one year beginning the fall of 1996 and will nofi conduct basin monitoring in our region again until 2002. As Mr. Pifher points out, it may be inappropriate to use "Outstanding Water" designation to inteifere with the development of the Homestake rights,, but it could be appropriate at some future time. With regard to Mr. Pifher's first comment on page 2, my concern is that Mr. Pifher's proposed language only off.ers "appropriate consideration" to the impacts of water development activities., The language in the revised 208 Plan states " To ensure that water development activities do not have a significant adverse impact upon the region's water resources..." This language is significantly stronger with respect to ensuring more than jusi consideration, but also mitigation of impacts. The language drafted by Mr. Pifher as an alternative far section VI 2.4 is OK, although there is always the concern with regard to loosing "applicable permitting processes" through activities such as fhose that Colorado Springs was involved in with the legislature this spring. With respect to Mr. Pifher's comment regarding the " implication CVVCB seek water rights for dilution", our dischargers are meeting and exceeding permit requirements. We are looking at instream flow appropriations for maintaining the environment to a reasonable degree, which includes water quafity issues, such as temperature, salinity, etc. Eagle County: Avon, Basalt, Eagle, Gypsum; Minturn, Red Cliff, Vail, " Grand County: Fraser, Granby, Grand Lake, Hot Sulphur Springs, Kremmling, Winter Park, ' Jackson County: Walden, " Pitkin County: Aspen, Snowmass Village, " Rou4t Coun4y: Hayden, Oak Creek, Steamboat Springs, Yampa, ' Summit Counfy: Blue River, Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco, Montezuma, Silverthorne _ ~ NVi/CCOG Board iViay 31, 1996 Page 2. Mr. Pifher states that in Policy 3, the justification comes across as a bit harsh and somewhat misleading. This may be the case, although the infient is to encourage local land use regulations which minimize the water quality impacts of exercising private property rights on the community at large. fVir. Pifher's final comments deal with the impact (or lack fihereof) of Colorado Springs' development of the Homestake II project upon water quality in the Eagte River watershed. In poinfi of fact, the Homestake II hearing records indicate 4hat there could potentially be cumulative water quality impacts to the Eagle River vvatershed if this project as well as other potential projects are developed in the watershed. Mr. Pifher's statement concerning Colorado Springs' new water court filings and their potential enhancement of water quality is certainly a possibility, and should be considered in future water quality discussions concerning the Eagle River. One means of being able to address Mr. Pifher's comments is at the 1n/ater Quality Control Commission hearing in July, at which time vve could inform the Commission of agreement to changes in the 208 Plan. I need your response to iVir. Pifher's and my comments to present to the Water Quality Control Commission hearing on the adoption of the revised 208 Plan which is . scheduled for July 8, 1996.

To date, I have not had the opportunity to fully read the draft plan. Instead, I have limited my review to those sections upon which I previously commented. See memorandum of February 9, 1996e I trust that there has not been any significant changes in other sections of which I should be awaree I would offer for your consideration, and possible discussion at the upcoming . Headwaters Forum meeting, the following additional commentsa First, though I believe that I may have overlooked this in my February 9 memo to you, the City of Colorado Springs could not, at this time, support Outstanding Waters designation for streams in the Holy Cross Wilderness (Eagle River Segment I) to the extent this would include stream segments associated with the Homestake Projecto As you know, the Project received an exemption from Congress at the time of the designation of the Wildernesse This exemption, as clearly indicated in the EIS for t}"ie si G j cC t-, uiiJwS i LiC rt v jeC l: I:o t7L'C3Ce6C1 3S 1f 1L WdS simpiy located on any other tract of Forest Service lando This was the - quid pro quo gor the cities agreeing not to oppose creation of the Wildernessa It would be inappropriate to now use the °1wilderness°° area designation as the basis for a water quality designation which would potentially interfere with the development of the very water rights which the cities have historically sought to protecto As you are aware, the cities have filed a new water court application which would seek to develop many of the Homestake rights at an alternate location outside wilderness boundarieso Hopefully, with the cooperation of the Headwaters Forum and others, the cities' rights can be perfected in an.environmentally sound and mutually beneficial mannere However, we must all acknowledge that this will talce some time. y Robert Ray May 10, 1996 Page 2 With reference to Volume I, Section 2.2 on page VI-26, I would renew my prior statement of concern. In addition, I offer for your consideration the following compromise language to replace the f irst sentence in this section. To ensure that in the review of water development activities, appropriate consideration is given to the impacts of.such development upon the increase . of pollutant concentrations at point source discharges, increasing salinity, and the aggravation of existing nonpoint source pollution problems. I think that the above replacement language highlights the concern which you have expressed, but does so in a less volatile manner. On a similar note, I would suggest replacement of the first paragraph in Section 2.4 (Volume I) with the following: In the context of applicable permitting processes, significant negative water quality impacts associated with water development activities should be mitigated. Such mitigation requirements should be consistent with federal, Y state, and local laws, as well as constitutional guaranteeso I think that the current version of the paragraph makes certain legal assumptions that may or may not, in the future, prove correct, and simply invites confrontation. I would also once again question whether Section 2.4 should carry the implication that the CWCB seek water rights for "dilution" purposes. With reference to Policy 3(Volume I), though I believe that the "Policy Objectives" are adequately stated, I think that -the first paragraph of the "Policy Justification" (Section 3.3, page VI-30) comes across as a bit harsh and somewhat misleading. I believe that I have previously commented on this section. By way of example, Colorado has not adopted a public trust doctrine, and hence to the extent water is considered a"natural resource," it may not always fall into the category of a"common" natural resource. In addition, though communities can certainly insist upon regulatory controls, at some point they may have to compensate the landowner. I would offer the following alternative language: The purpose of this policy is to ensure that a balance exists between the protection of water quality and land use and development, and to minimize the conflicts between the two. Individuals exercising their private property rights should not endanger the public health or o V Robert Ray May 10, 1996 Page 3 welfare, and should act in manner that is consistent with the protection of the natural resources of the areao Governmental entities, throuqh the implementation of appropriate statutes, ordinances, codes and rules can regulate development so as to achieve these goalso Finally, I would once again repeat the comments I previously fordaarded on Section 3.3e3 of the Eagle River Management Plane Based upon atechnical analysis we have performed, the development of the Homestake rights would not Cai1S° $;:V 5.1331J.i1.rc-i:?l: ?n.cre?S;: in tht1 Cc^.?'IC-E:P_t1"at-?O^ di P011tIL3i1t- s downstream to the detriment of other water userso This is especially true if the Eagle Mine Remediation Project is successfulo In point of fact, given our new water court filings, and the potential for releases to augment low flows, a project may enhance water qualityo Please feel free to call Kerry Sundeen should you have any questions on this pointa I anticipate that we should be able to resolve these remaining concernse Tell Barbara that she can take her vacation in July with the assurance that anything I might say before the WqCC would simply further truth, justice and the American Waye Very truly yours, ANDERSOAT, DUDE, PIFHER & LEBEL, P.C.

Interested citizens are encouraged to visit the open house , any time between 3:30 and 6:30 p.m. next V1/ednesday. Access assistance will be , provided through th'e tennis center. There, the work of a 12-member advisory committee, representing the park's user groups, neighbors and other interested residents, will be displayed for citizen reaction. The group has been meeting for the past six months to probe the challenges associated with the park's growing popularity and expanded use. The concepts address a number of difficult issues raised by the user groups and surrounding neighborhood, including: 0 Parking needs--both short-term and long-term--and preserving the possibility of meeting town parking needs in the park 0 Other means of access to the park to reduce parking problems 0 Improving barrier-free access to and uvithin the park for people with disabilities 0 A suitable location for a proposed Alpine Garden Education Center 0 fVlinimizing vehicles in the park (more) RECYCLED PAPER x l Ford Park Open House/Add 1 • State Highway Department requirements to provide acceleration/deceleration lanes at the Frontage Road entry to the park • A central point of contact for scheduling park activities • Coordinating park activities among the various users The new management plan will update the park's 14 year old master plan. Three preliminary concepts will be presented at the open house for citizen comment and ideas, said Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer. "The concepts include several possible locations for the Alpine Garden Educational Center, possible reconfiguration of the Vail Recreation District tennis facilities and softball fields, improved service access to park facilities, implementation of possible year-round parking remedies, and policies to limit vehicular access within the park," Brandmeyer said. At the direction of the Town Council, each of the draft concepts has incorporated the possibility for a future buried parking structure, Brandmeyer said. "IYs not necessarily an endorsement for locating a structure in the park," she said, "but as the town wrestles with future parking needs in Vail, it would be irresponsible of us not to at least preserve this option given that so few locations remain." During the summer months, adequate parking has already become a problem during peak periods, she said. Also, the town needs to ensure that other park decisions don't preclude a location for a future parking structure, should the community someday determine that Ford Park is the best tocation. The open house format will enable participants to review the alternative plans through a self-directed survey to be filled out at their own pace, according to Brandmeyer. "This allows the flexibility to spend as little or as much time on these (more) i 5 0 Ford Park Open House/Add 2 concepts as you need," she said. Committee members also will be on hand to answer questions. In addition, open house participants will be asked to react to a series of draft policy statements regarding the park's use and character, management, pedestrian access, and parking and vehicles. Ford Park, with 39 acres, has seen its patronage grow as it has accommodated an increasing range of facilities and uses, including a 1,200 seat amphitheater, the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, nature center, softball fields, bike and vualking paths, tennis courts, a playground, picnic pavilion and quiet natural areas. The park is considered to be among Vail's greatest assets and now attracts hundreds of thousands of people each year. The town has hired UVinston & Associates, a landscape architect and urban and environmental planning firm from Boulder to assist with creation of the management plan. Following the open house, the project's next steps will include incorporating public input into a composite "preferred" plan and presentation to the Town Council for approval or modification. For more information on how you can follow the project, either by attending the open house or in other ways, contact Todd Oppenheimer, the town's landscape/park superintendent at 479-2161. . # # # ` ~ ee e4 Mff OF VAIL AIA 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 FAX 970-479-2157 MED9A ADVS~~RY June 5, 1996 Contact: Suzanne Silverthorn, 479-2115 Community Information Office !lAIlL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLOGHTS FOR JUNE 4 Work Sessuon Braefs Council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Kurz, fVavas --Interviews for Liquor Board (Local Licensing Authority) Appointments VUith only two candidates re-applying for the two openings on the Liquor Board (and only one of them on hand for an interview), the Council moved quickly to the next agenda item. . Later, at the evening meeting, applicants Don VNhite and Connie Knight were reappointed to the board. , --Conceptual Discussion of Lionshead Redevelopment After reviewing a slide show presented by Vail Associates (VA) which captured numerous identity and redevelopment possibilities for the Lionshead commercial core area, the Council voted 7-0 to approve a request from VA to jointly fund a study or evaluation of the area. The Council authorized spending a portion of the town's Lionshead master plan budget, $80,000, to begin pursuing the study. As proposed by VA, the study would result in a report to the Town Council to be completed and presented prior to Sept. 30,1996, with specific recommendations or proposals regarding: 0 One or more public/private ventures designed to implement redevelopment in Lionshead 0 Development agreements or contracts between TOV and Vail Associates Real Estate Group and/or other third parties necessary to effect redevelopment 0 The creation of downtown development or urban renewal districts or authorities 0 Financing mechanisms, including tax increment financing, which might be utilized to fund or incent redevelopment 0 The drafting or adoption of new or revised master plans, zoning ordinances and design guidelines for Lionshead 0 The nature, scope, feasibility and type of venture concerning a proposed hotel and conference site in Lionshead on property owned by the Town of Vail Following the presentation, Town Nlanager Bob McLaurin called the concept an exciting and wonderful opportunity for the community. (more) RECYCLED PAPER ~7 i f, TOV Highlights/Add 1 --Town of Vail State of the Environment Report Russell Forrest, the town's senior environmental policy planner, presented an overview of the town's four environmental goals: sustainable land use regulation and economic development; ecosystem protection; environmental efficiency; and environmental management and compliance. Forrest then discussed project areas currently underway: air and water quality; implementation of the comprehensive open lands plan; the Mauri Nottingham Environmental Excellence Award; solid waste policy; the Partnership for Environmental Education and Programs (PEEP); the tree/vegetation ordinance; and bears and refuse. In response to a question by Council member Paul Johnston, Forrest said the Colorado Department of Transportation and Vail Associates are testing use of magnesium chloride on the roads to help reduce air particulate pollution, while the Town of Vail has already implemented a magnesium chloride program. Forrest also announced creation of an EarthFest event on June 22, presented by PEEP, which will combine the annual Trees for Vail activity, a speaker series from the Alpine Gardens and other fun-filled family activities at Ford Park. The Council members thanked Forrest for his proactive stance on environmental issues and for the organized and efficient manner in which he has pursued program implementation. For additional details, contact Forrest at 479-2146. --Information Update Town A/lanager Bob McLaurin reported that a facilitator had been selected to assist with the Vail Tomorrow strategic community action plan proposed by the Town of Vail-Vail Associates Community Task Force. After reviewing 13 proposals and interviewing five ° teams, a Task Force subgroup is recommending selection of KezziahWatkins of Colorado Springs to assist in facilitating a grassroots discussion of Vail's economic viability, cohesiveness and sense of community. The Council then voted 7-0 to approve initial funding of $40,000 from the town's $100,000 master planning and land use planning budgets for the facilitation contract. --After reviewing a memo from Dominic Mauriello in the Community Development Department regarding the allowance or prohibition of "adult" oriented businesses in Vail, the Council requested staff to draft an ordinance to clarify the town's regulations. For more information, contact Town Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107. Representing the Vail Public Library, Annie Fox (director) and Annie IUlurcay (children's librarian) gave a brief presentation on the summer reading program. The program will culminate with a special presentation at the Ford Amphitheater on July 15. Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer stated the public participation process for the West Vail interchange project was moving forward and encouraged council members to attend the upcoming meetings. Town Manager Bob McLaurin reported sales tax collections for April of $960,076, up 21 percent above the budget estimate and up 21 percent from 1995 collections. The town is now up 5.4 percent for the ski season and up 7 percent, year to date, in collections.

It was announced that Mark Mobley, a Vail firefighter, has been recognized as aCTUIV's volunteer of the week for organizing a golf tournament as a benefit for the Red Cliff Fire Department. --Council Reports Council member Sybill fVavas announced the town has been awarded 80 hours of grant review time from IVorthwest Colorado Council of Governments (iVWCCOG) to assist staff in studying the merits of Gross Residential Floor Area (which regulates mass and size of structures). The Council has committed to a review of this process and the grant revieuv time will accelerate the review by the Community Devetopment Department. Navas also mentioned she had observed interesting presentations by NVUCCOG relating to the management of the Upper Blue in the Breckenridge area, as well as a Steamboat Springs presentation on the preservation of open space. Council member Ludwig Kurz reported the Colorado Ski Museum will host a fundraiser on June 23 with the Beaver Creek Homes Tour. --Other Council member Michael Jewett requested the town catalogue and store all of its studies at the public library. Also, a discussion ensued regarding the awarding of a single carriage contract. It was pointed out that the process involved sending out request for proposals to prospective applicants, interviewing of three candidates, and previous notification over a year ago to carriage providers that the town would reduce the number of companies from two to one by May 31, 1996. In an effort to atlow all current contracts to be fulfilled, Town Manager Bob NicLaurin said he had sent extensions to the two previous providers allouving them both to operate through Labor Day of this year. After that, the exclusive contract will be awarded to Rocky Mountain Carriage Company. For additional details, contact Town Attorney Tom Nioorhead at 479-2107. Council member Kevin Foley indicated the Lionshead merchants are concerned with skateboarding in the mall. He said Chris Ryman from Vail Associates has stepped fonward to help coordinate a half-pipe/boarding area to accommodate the skateboarders. Kevin Foley and Town Attorney Tom Moorhead will be riding in the Courage Classic this weekend. Foley asked for support and contributions from anyone interested in assisting. Buddy Lazier's triumphant return to Vail was also discussed. Although a parade marshal for this year's Fourth of July parade has already been selected (Chad (more) ? L .
