VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
EVENING MEETING
TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1996
7:30 P.M. IN TOV COUNCIL CHAMBERS
EXPANDED AGENDA
7:30 P.M. 1. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
7:35 P.M. 2. Appoint 2 Art In Public Places Members.
7:45 P.M. 3. Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1996, first reading of an Ordinance Amending
Dominic Mauriello Title 18 Zoning, Sections 18.04.035 (Definition of Brew Pub) and 18.28.040
L. (Conditional Use for a Brew Pub in a CSC Zone District); Providing for
the Revision to Production Limits, Area Used for Brewing and Bottling, and
Limitations on Sales for Off-site Consumption Provided in the Vail Municipal
Code.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve/Deny/Modify Ordinance
No.14, Series of 1996, on first reading.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The applicant is requesting a Zoning Code
amendment to modify the definition and the conditional use criteria for a
brew pub. See the attached PEC memo for more details.
The Planning and Environmentaf Commission reviewed the proposal on
June 10, 1996 and recommended approval of the amendment
(unanimously). There was discussion of possible impacts due to odor and
loading and delivery demands. The applicant stated that because the.
brewing will still occur during the same hours, the odor impacts will remain
the same at the Hubcap. The applicant stated that owner of the Crossroads
commercial property will be requiring an odor filtration system prior to any
major expansion in brewing operations. The applicant also stated that the
- loading and delivery demands will be reduced due to the fact that the
- distributor will require fewer trips to pick up beer. If the Hubcap is able to
produce more quantity of beer, they can more fully load a truck and
therefore not require additional visits.
These concerns are valid for such an operation, however, the conditional
use permitting process will allow the PEC to evaluate the impacts at specific
locations in Vail. The conditional use permit for the Hubcap is subject to
numerous conditions to ensure compatibiiity with other uses in the zone
district. Presently, the CSC zone district is the only district which allows a
brew pub.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance
No. 14, Series of 1996, on first reading.
8:15 P.M. 4. 1st Quarter Financial Report and Ordinance No. 15, Series of 1996, first
Steve Thompson reading of an ordinance making supplemental appropriations from the Town
e# `Jail Gener Fand, Parkin5 Structurc Funu, f ieavj/ ECji.iipi i-ieflt FuiIc), and
Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund, and Capital Projects Fund of the 1996
budget and the financial plan for the Town of Vail, Colorado; and authorizing
the expenditures of said appropriations as set forth herein; and setting forth
details in regard thereto.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve/modify/deny Ordinance No.
15, Series of 1996, on frrst reading.
1
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The supplemental appropriation is necessary
to cover additional expenditures beyond the 1996 budget appropriation.
The Town normally does a supplemental in the spring and at year end to
cover anticipated expenditures.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance No. 15, Series of 1996
on first reading.
8:45 P.M. 5. Ordinance No 13, Series of 1996, second reading of an 1996, an Ordinance
Dominic Mauriello Amending Title 16 Signs, Chapters 16.12 (Administrative Procedure),
16.20.010 (Designated), 16.20 (Sign Categories), and 16.22 (Sign
Categories for CC3 Zone District and ABD Zone District); Providing for the
Reorganization and Clarification of the Sign Regulations of the Vail
Municipal Code.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve/modify/deny Ordinance
No.13, Series of 1996 on second reading.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Over the years, the Sign Code has been
amended and zoning districts have been added to the Zoning Code, which
have not been reflected in the Sign Code. This has created some
inconsistencies within the Sign Code. In order to correct these
inconsistencies and create a Sign Code which is easier to read and
understand, staff is proposing to reorganize the code. The amendments
and reorganization are accomplished with minor changes to the substance
of specific sign regulations or definitions.
The proposed changes include:
1. Addition of zoning districts not currently reflected in the Sign Code
by the creation of a table which shows all of the zoning districts and
which signs are allowed in each district.
2. Changes were made to specific sign categories, in order to be
consistent with recent changes to the Sign Code that were approved
by Town Council on April 2, 1996. The changes include revising
language that required Design Review Board approval for signs over
_ 5 sq. ft. in size, in order to allow staff approval.
3. Amendment of the regulations for Temporary Site Development
Signs to allow for a development sign on all residential properties
under construction. This was proposed based on a request by Bill
Anderson and on the fact that the way the regulations currently read,
a single family or two-family house in an SDD is allowed a sign, but
houses in other zones are not. Staff believes the policy should treat
like uses the same no matter what district they are located in. A
letter from Bill Anderson regarding site development signs is
included in the packet. The proposed temporary site development
sign would be limited to 6 sq.ft. in size and the information on the
sign would be limited to the project name, project address, the
display of permits, and a site depiction/rendering.
The Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed the proposal on May
20, 1996 and recommended approval (unanimously). The PEC amended
the requlations for a Temporary Site Development Sign to allovv a site
depiction or rendering. There was discussion among the members of the
PEC about the information allowed on a commercial sign of this nature. The
proposal leaves intact the ability of commercial or multiple family
developments to display the names of real estate agents, contractors,
architects, and developers in addition to that information allowed on a sign
for a single family, two-family, or three-family development.
A copy of the proposed changes are attached. Items that are stricken are
being removed from the ordinance and text that is shaded indicates new text
being added or zoning districts being added that are not presently part of the
code.

8:55 P.M. 6. Resolution No. 12, Series of 1996, a resolution allocating the balance of the
Steve Thompson Town's sales tax refunding and improvement bonds, Series 19926.
Tom Moorhead .
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Adopt/modify/deny Resolution No.
12, Series of 1996.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In October, 1992, the Town issued bonds to
build the Police facility. The original projections were that the improvement
would require an expenditure of approximately $5.7 million and the resulting
bond issue was in that amount. The actual expenditure for the project was
$3,302,491. The resulting balance from the bond issue is $2,397,509.
In the last six months there has been an evaluation made as to whether it
would be advantageous to refinance this existing debt. In the course of that
examination it was determined that there has never been legislative action
taken by Town Council to allocate the balance of the 1992 proceeds. This
Resolution clearly sets forth the Council's intention to allocate the bond
proceeds to the 1993 street project and the 1996 Public Works remodel.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 12, Series of 1996.
9:10 P.M. 7. Resolution No. 13, Series of 1996, a resolution of commitment to the Vail
Bob McLaurin Tomorrow Process.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve Resolution No. 13, Series
of 1996.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Vail Tomorrow process is a collaborative
effort to develop a community strategic plan. This effort will help insure our
continued economic viability and will help build and foster our sense of
, community. This effort was initiated by the TOVNA Task Force and is being
coordinated through the Vail Tomorrow Coordinating Committee. As part
of this effort, the Coordinating Committee is asking for an endorsement from
many organizations in the community. The Coordinating Committee
believes it is important for the success of this effort that the major
organizations and agencies in the community commit to this effort up front.
_ This Resolution formalizes the Town's commitment to the Vail Tomorrow
_ Process.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 13, Series of 1996.

Town of Vail
Art in Public Places Board
75 Frontage Road
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Board Members;
I am writing this letter to express my interest in becoming one of the
two new board members to be appointed by the Vail Town Council to the Art
in Public Places Board.
Until the beginning of this year when I left The Vail Trail, I had spent
six years as the arts and entertainment editor of the newspaper, a position that
gave me a very good, and often in depth, understanding of the arts Vail. But
more important it provided me the chance to spend many hours with
individuals, who represented every aspect of the town, discussing the needs
and desires of the community in relation to expanding the arts through
public grants and programs.
As a board member I feel that my long-standing interest in and
involvement with the arts not only in Vail, but also in my previous places of
residence, New York, Washington, D.C. and Denver combined with my
public .relations and writing skills gleaned from years as a journalist and part-
time copy-writer would be tremendous assets. Since leaving The Vail Trail to
pursue my own independent writing and public relations projects, I greatly
miss the daily involvement with the community and wouTd relish the
chance to again become involved on a regular basis.
I look forward to answering questions from members of the board and
the Vail Town Council on Tuesday, July 2, and hope that my qualifications
and talents will be considered appropriate to be a member of the Art in Public
Places board.
Sincerely, ,
Trish Kiesewetter

ART IP1 PUBLIC PLACES COMMITTEE
TOWN OF VAI L ~
VA1L, C0.
Dear Art in Fublic Places Committ,ee;
I have spent the 1ast 6 pears residing in the Tawn af Vail as a
practicing artist. There is a dire need far local artist dispiap space to .
pramote (possibiy even just keep alive) the ART SPIRIT in local artists. r
Many local artists talk of moving ta a bett,er clirnate fvr exhibiting
their work. At least one has maved. Locai artists cannot afford to work here
while ex2ibiting eisewhere.
Lacai art galleries cannot help Mth this issue because they are forceci
ta respond t,o the reai estate market; they neeci to show works which are
priced in the thausands to meet their overhead costs. Obviously the cvst of `
these worYs makes them unavailable for purchase by the majoritp af local
art lovers. It is a"no win no win" situation for Ioral artists and local art lovers.
The Vail Vailey Arts Couneii has dane nothing to help this situataon.
Board members by thier deeds have even sbov+rn themseives tA be a most
embarrassing negatiee factor, humiiiating at least one local artist wYio txied
ta address trris issue in a positive manner. '
If I were not so involved witri the spart of skiing, I v,rould prabably be
"on my vvay ° to a more hospitabie art eommunity as v,rell.
I understand there is a passibiity that the Art in Public Piaces Committee can address this issue in a positive manner. I certainly hop-0, so.
The ne?d is there and the need is enarmous. Joa.n Norris knows the
contemporary situatian as weli as anyone. She is an unselfish advacate tor and great champion vf the LOCAL AItT SPIRIT. Please listen to rier a?nd lieed
her advice.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Respectfuilq,

decorations.
I look forward to working vvith Susan and Jeri again for other fes#ive
occasions and most definately, next holiday season.

MEMORANDUM .
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: June 10, 1996
RE: A request to amend Section 18.04.035, the definition of Brew Pub, and
Section 18.28.040 (L) modifying the percentage of the product
manufactured for off-site consumption and the area used for brewing.
Applicant: Hubcap Brewery and Kitchen, represented by owner Lance
Lucey
Planner: Dominic Mauriello
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a Zoning Code amendment to modify the definition and the
conditional use criteria for a brew pub. A brew pub is an eating establishment which
includes the brewing of beer as an accessory use. The current definition limits the area
in a brew pub used for brewing and bottling to 25% of the total floor area. The amount
of beer produced is limited to 1,500 barrels a year (46,500 gallons). The conditional
use criteria limits sales for off-site consumption to 15% of the product manufactured.
The applicant is proposing to increase these limitations. The proposed definition would
limit the area in a brew pub used for brewing and bottling to 500k of the total floor
area. The amount of beer produced would be limited to 7,500 barre(s-a year (232,500
~ gallons). The conditional use criteria would limit sales for off-site coitsumption to 4510/o
of the product manufactured.
Attached is a copy of the proposed text changes and a copy of the applicant's request.
- 11. BACKGROUND
On August 21, 1990, the Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 27, Series of 1990,
allowing brew pubs as a use by right in the Commercial Senrice Center (CSC) zone
district and as a conditionai use for those brew pubs with sales for off-site consumption.
At that time, staff researched restrictions placed on brew pubs by other communities. It
was found that few communities placed restrictions on the size of such operations and
the brewing capacity beyond the normal zoning restrictions placed on any restaurant or
commercial establishment. The issues of concern in 1990 centered around the impacts
' to, and compatibility with, other uses in the CSC district. Specifically, issues relating to
1
odor, deliveries, and loading. Conditions were established in the code to ensure that
the use would comply with regulations regarding loading, delivery, and odor. Also, as a
matter of practice, conditions have been placed on the conditional use permit approvals
for the Hubcap Brewery which further ensures compatibility with other uses in the
district.
The limits adopted in 1990 were based on several factors. The production capacity
(1,500 barrels) was established based on the average 1990 production levels of brew
pubs across the nation and the fact that the owner of the Hubcap Brewery at that time
anticipated only producing 750 barrels a year. Brew pubs across the nation have
experienced an increase in demand for "micro-beers" and hence have expanded their
production levels of beer.
The limits placed on the area used for producing beer (25% of total area) was
established to ensure that the brewing operation remained accessory to the restaurant.
It was a limitation set at the time, due to our limited experience in Vail with such a use.
The staff believed a conservative approach was necessary.
The limitation placed on the amount of beer sold for off-site consumption (15%) was
based on the Town's desire to ensure that the use remained compatible with other uses
by limiting potential deliveries to and from the site. The applicant has indicated that by
increasing the brewing capacity, he can actually reduce loading and delivery demands.
Since the brewing capacity is so limited now, they can only dispense a small amount of
product at a time to outside venders. This requires that these venders make more trips
per week to pick up the beer. With a larger capacity brewing potential, venders can
pick-up more product in one trip and therefore reduce the overall number of trips per
week.
These proposed limitations comply with all State limitations placed on such uses. Staff
believes the proposed levels are appropriate to allow this use to be successful in Vail.
The existing levels do not reflect the market trends for such uses and therefore may
arbitrarily hinder the success of such an operation. Staff has done additional research
and found no such limitations in other municipalities. Staff believes the proposed limits
will allow the use to remain compatible with other uses in the district. There are
existing regulations within the code that ensure that odor, loading and delivery, noise,
and other similar impacts are mitigated and compatible throughout the Town.
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment to the definition and
conditional use criteria for brew pubs, finding that the change in the limitations to brew
pubs will continue to ensure compatibilty with other uses in the CSC district.

ATTACHIVIENT TO THE PETITION FORM FOR AMENDMENT TO TBE ZONING
ORDINANCE OR REQUEST FOR A CHANGE IN DISTRICT BOUNDAREES
Summary of the Proposed Revision of the Re ula ionc
Under the current conditioned uses of a Commercial Service Cemer a brewpub is allowed
with the following attached conditions.
1) The area used for brewing, including bottling and kegging, shall not exceed 25% of the
total floor area of the commercial space.
2) The brewery shall not produce more than one thousand five hundred barrels of beer or
a1e per year.
3) The total of wholesale sales and sales for off-site consumption do not exceed 15% of
the product manufactured by the brew pub on an annual basis.
ProposedCha ges 'n the Re ul ionc
That the above conditions be revised to a11ow the following:
1) The area used for brewing, including bottling and kegging, shall not exceed 500/o of the
total floor area of the commercial space.
2) The brewery shall not produce more than seven thousand five hundred barrels of beer
or ale per year.
3) The total of wholesale sales and sales for off-site consumprion do not exceed 45% of
the product manufactured by the brew pub on an annual basis.
Reasons for ReqyestUnder the current conditions the Brewing Company of Vail, Inc. is very limited in
. our growth potential. As you know, space in Vail is quite expensive. In order to produce
more beer we must increase our brewing area and we simply cannot afford to take on
more space and keep our brewing azea at 25%. This would mean we can only allocate 1
foot of every 4 feet we take on in expansion to brewing. Given the overhead costs
associated with space in Vail I would quickly drive this business into the ground under the
cunent restriction of not more than 25% of floor space being allocated to brewing.
The 'cunent cap of 1500 barrels per year completely restricts our ability to grow.
Our long term plan is to not only produce better beer, but more beer. The most
promising growth area for the Brewing Company of Vail, Inc. is on the beer side of the
business. 1500 banels is the minimum we can produce and service all our on-site
restaurant and bar business while operating an extremely modest off-site business. The
7500 barrel restriction I suggested was based on the fact that we can produce this level
without changing our brewing schedule, which cunently allows us to have a minimum
effect on neighboring businesses. Please keep in mind that the process that produces the
odor in beer making comes approximately three hours into the beer making procedure.
Cunent Brewing Schedule During Busy Season: One Brewer
6:00 p.m. lst Batch
10:00 P.M. 2nd Batch
Proposed Brewing Schedule During Busy Season: Two Brewers
.
6:00 p.m. lst Batch
7:00 p.m. 2nd Batch
8:00 p.m. 3rd Batch
9:00 P.M. 4th Batch
10:00 P.M. Sth Batch
Our on-site sales are capped by the physical boundaries of our space. It is possible
for us to sell only so much beer based on the size of the Hubcap. Our future is in off-site
sales. Currently we distribute on a very modest basis in Vail and neighboring areas. In my
three months here I have already had to tum down several offers from various distributors,
restaurants and bars to carry our beer based on the restriction of 15% off-site and
wholesale sales.

TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Town of Vail Open Space Board of Trustees
DATE: July 2, 1996
SUBJECT: Review Proposed Parcels for Open Space Designation
Staff: Russ Forrest & Tom Moorhead
1. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this worksession is to review the properties the Open Space Board of Trustees
approved for placing in a designated open space status as per Ordinance 13, Series of 1995.
The Open Space Board of Trustees met on June 13th and 17th to develop and decide on a list of
properties for designation. The Committee unanimously agreed to the properties identified in
Attachment A of the letter from the Board to the Town Council. The attached letter indicates the
unanimous support of the Board for placing these properties in a designated status. The
attachments to this memo include:
1) Letter from Open Space Board of Trustees & Attached list of properties.
2) Maps showing parcels.
3) Ordinance 13, Series of 1995 (This created the ballot language for the Charter
Amendment).
11. BACKGROUND:
A key next step in the Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan was to develop a means of
further protecting Town-owned open space that would go beyond zoning controls. An issue
raised during the development of the Plan was that currently, Town-owned open space parcels
can be rezoned or sold with the approval of the Vail Town Council.
On May 2, 1995, staff presented several alternatives to further protect Town-awned open space
such as Cozies Ranch or Bighorn Park. After reviewing the Town Council's comments from this
worksession, staff recommended creating a Charter Amendment that would create an Open
Space Board of Trustees and require a vote of the people before designated properties could be
sold, leased, or have the zoning changed to a non-open space zone district. The open space
Board of Trustees includes the Town Manager, one Town Council Member, and one Planning
and Environmental Commissioner. The Charter Amendment provides procedures for:
1) Designating parcels as open space; and
2) Removing parcels from a designated status.
This Charter Amendment as stated in, Ordinance 13, Series of 1995, was approved by the Vail
Voters with approximately 90% voting in favor of the amendment.

III. DESIGNATING PARCELS
Properties can be placed in a designated status if they meet specific criteria. Specific criteria for
placing parcels in a designated status include:
a) A parcel must be owned by the Town of Vail and be zoned Natural Area Preservation
(NAP), Outdoor Recreation (OR), or Agriculture Open Space (AOS).
b) A parcel includes environmentally sensitive lands (wetlands, riparian areas, critical
habitat identified by the Division of Wildlife or the National Heritage Program).
c) High natural hazard areas including the 100-year floodplain, red avalanche hazard
area, high rockfall hazard area, and high debris flow hazard areas.
d) Town parks that provide passive outdoor recreation opportunities.
* A parcel must meet criteria (a) and one of the following criteria (b-d)
Staff has recommended parcels for designation using these criteria. The Open Space Board of
Trustees reviewed the staff's recommendation and voted on designating 14 recommended
parcels as open space. The next step after the Board approves the list is for the Town Council to
pass an ordinance by a 3/4 margin of approval to place a property in a designated status.
IV DISPOSING OF A DESIGNATED PARCEL
The Charter Amendment requires the following before a parcel of land that is designated open
space can be sold, leased, or rezoned to any zone district other than the Natural Area
Preservation, Outdoor Recreation, or Agriculture Open Space:
1) Unanimous vote of the Open Space Board of Trustees,
2) A three quarters (3/4) vote from the Town Council to create a ballot issue to sell or
significantly change the use of a parcel designated as open space, and
3) An affirmative vote of registered voters in the Town of Vail at a general or special
election.

TOWN OF VAIL
1996
FIRST QUARTER
FINANCIAL
REPORT
Presented by Steve Thompson
Finance Director
a
MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
Town Manager
Department Heads
FROM: Steve Thompson
DATE: June 25, 1996
RE: First Quarter Financial Report - Highlights
Enclosed is the First Quarter Financial Report with estimates of revenues and expenditures as
compared to budget. The focus of the first quarter financial report is on revenue projection,
determining which projects will be completed, and supplemental appropriations.
REVENUES
Overall the Town's revenues are doing better than expected. Several of the Town's revenues
were budgeted in 1996 with no increase over 1995, including: sales tax, lift tax, and parking
revenues.
SALES TAX
Sales tax collections through April are $486,024, or 7.17% more than was budgeted. This
reflects the same dollar increase over actual collections in 1995. The first quarter report
- anticipates a 4.5% increase in sales tax for 1996. We need an additional $100,000, or 1.50% in
excess of budget for the balance of the year, to meet this projection. We shouldn't have a
problem in meeting that 1.50% if our summer sales tax growth nears our past 6 year average of
5.50%.
LIFT TAX
Lift Tax revenue for the 95-96 ski season was up 5.00°/4 from the 94-95 ski season. Therefore,
through April, lift tax revenue is up $66,000 or 4.50%, over last year's collections. Actually the
increase is 8.50%. At the beginning of the 95-96 ski season, Vai1 Associates began remitting lift
tax on the net sales price versus the gross sales price as they had done in the past. We anticipated
we would see up to a 4.00% decrease in lift tax due to this change
1
BUILDING REVENUES
It looks like 1996 could be the Town's biggest year for building revenues. Last year we collected
$613,322 in building revenues, with building valuation at $49.2 million. As of June 20, 1996,
building valuation is at $47.6 million. We have collected $413,309 in building revenue. We are
projecting building revenue to exceed the budget by approximately $180,000, bringing the total
for building revenues to $600,000, close to what was collected in 1995.
PARKING REVEN ES
If daily parking revenues and passes/debit cards collected in November and December of 1996 are
the same as 1995, revenue will exceed the budget by $205,500. Daily parking revenue collected
in the 95-96 ski season exceeded 94-95 collections by 10.00°/a. However, the car count was only
up 5.00'%, which means we are getting more per transaction in the 95-96 season.
EXPENDITURES
We are projecting expenditures to be on budget However we do anticipate some savings by
departments since 6.50 positions will not be filled in 1996.
A supplemental appropiiation of $1.4 million is required. The reason for the supplemental
appropriation and related amount is as follows :$1,034,051 unexpected expenditures; $2,925 use
of departmental savings; $292,434 expenditures that are appropriated and unspent in a prior year
(roll forwards); $60,609 pass through revenues or reimbursement for expenditures. Please see the
schedule of supplemental appropriations for the detail.
Unexpected Expenditures make up $1,034,051 of the supplemental appropriation which includes:
$746,134 for RETT and parking projects; $206,911 for the approved bonus program; $61,499 for
approved equity adjustments; $107,000 transfer to the housing fund for Vail Commons Building
- fees; $118,000 professional fees that were budgeted to be paid out of the Capital Projects Fund.
This report will be presented at the July 2 Town Council meeting. Please review before the
meeting to expedite the presentation.

MEMO
TO: Town Council
C.C. Bob McLaurin
FROM: Susan Connelly and Mike Mollica
DATE: July 2, 1996
RE: Proposed Work Plan for GRFA Analysis
As you know, Community Development Department staff proposes to contract for the services of
Tom Braun to undertake the background analysis of possible altematives to our current system of
regulation for mass and bulk of residences.
Outline of Work Plan for GRFA Analysis
I. Analysis of the evolurion to TOV's current GRFA system (July)
2. Analysis of alternative systems, utilizing NWCOG grant of 80 hours
(Secondary research) (July)
3. Case studies of targeted communities with characteristics similar to Vail (July)
4. Selection of several altemative systems to pursue for applicability to Vail
PEC recommendation and Council determination (August )
= two opportunities for public input at this stage
5. Application of selected alternative systems to Vail (AugusbSeptember)
6. Analysis of pros and cons of each, based on criteria (listed below) (Sept.)
7. Presentation of results of analysis and determination of next steps
PEC recommendation and Council determination (September)
= two opportunities for public input
8. Action, as determined by Council (October/November)
Tom Moorhead to draft ordinance
Criteria for the analysis of altematives and selection of possible modifications includes:
1. The effectiveness of the system in controlling bulk and mass,
2. The degree of invasiveness of the regulation of space within the exterior walls of a
home, and
3. The amount of staff time required to administer the system vs. other TOV
priorities.
Mike and Susan are working with Tom Braun to finalize a budget and schedule based on
this wark plan. Russ Forrest will serve as the Project Manager, coordinating with Tom on all
administrative and substantive aspects of the analysis, and coordinating the public input process
thorugh PEC and Council.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR JUNE 25
Work Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Kurz, Navas
--Northwest Colorado Council of Governments--QQ Committee Update
The Council received an overview of the Water Quality and Quantity Committee of the
Northwest Colorado Council of Govemments by agency members Monique Gilber#--arrd-=
Lane Wyatt. Formed in 1978, the QQ Committee monitors water development activities
and legislative initiatives which affect water quality or quantity throughout the counties
of Eagle, Grand, Pitkin and Summit. Although the QQ group has been extremely
productive in monitoring water issues in the state legislature over the past year, the
staffers said feedback from the membership is also indicating a desire to increase
water regulation consistency throughout the watershed from one jurisdiction to another
(such as stream setbacks). Wyatt said a plan to address the inconsistencies would be
fine tuned and presented at a meeting Aug. 7 in Kremmling. Council member Sybill
Navas, who serves as Vail's representative on the QQ Committee, said she would be
attending the upcoming meeting. For more information, contact Russell Forrest in-the
Community Development Department at 479-2146.
--Discussion re: Contribution Request Process/United Way Campaign
During a discussion on the type of process to be used for 1997 contribution requests
, from non-profits, the Council heard a concept that would utilize the local branch of the
soon-to-be-launched chapter of the United Way to serve as a clearinghouse for
distribution of funds earmarked by the town for health and human services. (In the 1996
budget, the Council awarded $18,500 for human services, while requests totaled
$69,625. In all, more than $100,000 was awarded in the categories of cultural,
economic, educational, environmental, health and human services and recreation, with
requests totaling $312,000 for 1996.) The United Way concept presented yesterday
would apply to health and human services requests, while contributions in other
categories would continue to be made by the Town Council. Reaction to the proposal
was mixed. While Council members expressed support for a United Way presence in
the valley, several members including Michael Jewett, Rob Ford and Bob Armour, said

Council Highlights/Add 1
they preferred to retain that decision-making responsibility as part of the political
process. Town Manager Bob McLaurin offered to gather some additional information to
help the Council make a decision on the issue at a future meeting. He'{I meet with
Eagle County representatives to learn more about health and human services needs
and current funding valleywide and gather more information on the United Way's
administrative costs. For more information, contact McLaurin at 479-2105.
--Information Update
The Council reviewed a schedule for the 1997-98 budget process. Key dates include:
submittal of a budget proposal by the town manager on Nov. 1; Council budget
workshops with departments on Nov. 5 and 12; first reading of the budget at a public
hearing on Nov. 19; and final approval on Dec. 3.
Next, Council members were informed that mining exploration operations are underway
on public land above Spraddle Creek, just outside the town's jurisdiction. The U.S.
Forest Service is monitoring the activities. For more information, call Bill Wood, Forest
Service, at 827-5715.
Town Manager Bob McLaurin said a reception was being held this week for the
candidates who have applied for executive director of the Eagle County Regional
Transportation Authority. The five finalists will be interviewed on Thursday.
--Council Reports
Bob Armour and Rob Ford reported on last week's Colorado Municipal League
conference in Vail. Armour received a warm response following his opening remarks at
the conference. After hearing the keynote address by the director of the National Civic
League, Ford said the upcoming Vail Tomorrow community action plan (to be launched
in mid-July) is at the forefront in the evolution of community governance.
Bob Armour also reported on a meeting of the Eagle Valley Leadership Coalition in
which State Rep. Jack Taylor presented a legislative update. Paul Johnston, who also
attended the meeting, said the group is determining what role it will play in the
affordable housing issue.
- The Trees for Vail planting was acknowledged as a success by Armour and the
Council. Ludwig Kurz announced a successful Beaver Creek Homes Tour, a fundraising project
for the Colorado Ski Museum.
Sybill Navas said she took a tour of Vail on her bicycle and suggested installing signs
to alert cyclists of the difficulties in maneuvering through the golf course area due to
construction. She also suggested placing a picnic table behind the library.

Council Highlights/Add 2
--Other
The Council voted 5-1 (Jewett against) to continue moving forward in a review of the
town's Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) standards. During an update yesterday,
Councilman Michael Jewett objected to a staff decision to hire former TOV planner Tom
Braun to begin gathering information for the project. Jewett raised the objection
because Braun, due to his vast knowledge of the issue, was contacted to perform the
work directly by the town. Braun's work will include evaluating potential alternatives to
the Town's existing zoning regulations that control the mass and bulk of residential
development. Jewett said he preferred a hiring process that involved a request for
proposal. In response, Town Manager Bob McLaurin said Braun's hiring was an
attempt to move quickly on the project in response to an earlier directive by the Town
Council. That directive was reaffirmed yesterday by a motion included in the 5 to 1
vote. The work will involve utilizing a grant from the Northwest Colorado Council of
Governments to compile an analysis of possible alternatives to GRFA used in other
communities and how they might work in Vail. Following the analysis, the information
will be brought to the public for extensive review. For more information, contact Town
Manager Bob McLaurin at 479-2105.
The Council voted 5-1 (Jewett against) to approve the 1995 audited financial
statements, as presented last week by Jerry McMahan of McMahan and Associates. In
voting against the motion to approve, Jewett said he had an outstanding question about
the audit relating to the $2 million default clause in the town's Vail Commons contract
with City Market. Jewett had wondered if the $2 million should be disclosed as a
liability. And since neither Town Attorney Tom Moorhead nor Jerry McMahan was
available to answer his question, Jewett said he was unable to support approval of the
audit.

hEGLIVED JUN Z 1 1996
Date of Notice: June 5, 1996
NOTICE OF AN INCREASE IN THE X C~ C~rU~h-
GAS SALES AND TRANSPORTATION RATES OF
PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF COLORADO
1225 SEVENTEENTH STREET
DENVER, COLORADO 80202
You are hereby notified that Public Service Company of
Colorado (Public Service or Company) has filed with The Public
Utilities Commission of the State of Colorado (Commission),
certain changes in rates affecting all gas customers to become
effective July 6, 1996, unless suspended by the Commission.
The filing proposes two General Rate Schedule Adjustment
(GRSA) riders in Public Service's P.U.C. No. 6- Gas tariff.
The first GRSA rider, a positive 6.43 percent, will apply to all
customers receiving sales service under Public Service's
Residential General Service (Rate Schedule RG), Residential Gas
Outdoor Lighting (Rate Schedule RGL), Commercial Gas Service
(Rate Schedule CG), Commercial Gas Outdoor Lighting (Rate
Schedule CGL), Interruptible Industrial Gas Service (Rate
Schedule IG), Resale Service (Rate Schedule RS), Firm Gas
Transportation Service - sales portion only (Rate Schedule TF)
and Interruptible Gas Transportation Service - sales portion
only (Rate Schedule TI), but will not apply to the Service and
Facility Charge component of these rate schedules. The effect
of this GRSA is an overall increase in sales rates of 6.40
percent. The second GRSA rider, a positive 16.34 percent, will
apply to all customers receiving transportation service under
Public Service's Firm Gas Transportation Service (Rate Schedule
TF) and Interruptible Gas Transportation Service (Rate Schedule
TI), but will not apply to the Service and Facility Charge, Firm
Supply Reservation Charge, On-Peak Demand Charge, Backup Supply
Sales Charge, and Authorized Overrun Sales Charge components of
these rate schedules. The effect of this second GRSA is an
overall increase in transportation rates of 13.16 percent. The
total effect of this proposed filing on the Company's annual gas
revenues is an increase of $33,996,407 or 6.72 percent.
In the event these proposed changes in rates are suspended
and hearings are held, the GRSA riders proposed by Public
Service may go into effect November 3, 1996, unless further
suspended by the Commission. However, Public Service is
requesting in this filing that, rather than further suspension
of the effective date of the riders, the Commission allow them
to go into effect, subject to refund, pending the outcome of a
Commission hearing on this filing.
Public Service has incorporated into this filing all of
the adjustments approved by the Commission in its Decision No.
C93-1346 mailed October 27, 1993, and Decision No. C93-1469
mailed November 26, 1993, both of which were issued in Docket
No. 93S-001EG, the Company's last general rate case Phase I
(revenue requirements) proceeding. The Company has also
included certain adjustments in addition to those approved by
the Commission in that Phase I proceeding. These other
adjustments include: the Construction Work in Progress/Allowance
for Funds Used During Construction treatment agreed to in the
Revision to Supplemental Settlement Agreement approved by the
Commission effective January 17, 1995 in Docket No. 94A-679EG;
accrued costs, including a three year amortization of deferred
costs, resulting from the Company's adoption of the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 112 - Employers' Accounting
for Postemployment Benefits; and the pre-paid asset created as a
result of the Integrated Systems Solutions Corporation
contract.
The GRSA riders proposed in this proceeding are designed
to recover the requested revenue increase proportionally between
Public Service's sales and transportation rate classes on the
basis of base rate revenue, excluding the cost of gas. Public
Service does not propose to modify its existing rate structure
in this proceeding. On October 1, 1995, Public Service
implemented revised natural gas rates which reflected the
revenue increase allowed by the Commission in the said Docket
No. 935-001EG revenue requirements proceeding. These revised
natural gas rates were based on comprehensive cost allocation
and rate design principles resulting from Public Service's Phase
II (rate design) proceeding in Commission Docket No. 95I-394G.
Copies of the proposed and present rates, rules and
regulations as filed with the Commission are available for
examination and explanation at the Colorado Public Utilities
Commission, 1580 Logan Street, Office Level No. 2, Denver,
Colorado 80203. Customers that have questions concerning the
proposed filing may call Public Service at 1-800-772-7858, or in
the Denver area at 623-1234.
Anyone who desires may file written objection. The filing
of a written objection, by itself, will not allow you to
participate as a party in any proceeding on the proposed action.
If you wish to participate as a party in any proceeding
established in this matter, you must file written intervention
documents under applicable rules.
Anyone who desires to file written objection to the
proposed action shall file it with the Colorado Public Utilities
Commission, 1580 Logan Street, Office Level No. 2, Denver,
Colorado 80203. Customers that have questions concerning
requirements for filing written objection may call the
Commission at 894-2070, or 1-800-456-0858.
The Commission may hold hearings to determine what rates,
rules and regulations will be authorized. If hearings are held,
the Commission may suspend the proposed rates, rules or
regulations. The rates, rules and regulations ultimately
authorized may or may not be the same than those proposed and may
include rates higher or lower than those proposed or currently
in effect.
Anyone who desires to receive notice of any hearing shall
file a written request for notice with the Commission at the
above address.
If hearings are held, any member of the public may attend
and may make a statement under oath about the proposed rates,
rules or regulations, whether or not an objection or
intervention has been filed.

ATTENTION: Susan Connelly, Director
SUBJECT: Dust Abatement - Parking Lot & Driveway
2039 Chamonix Lane, West Vail
My property at 2019 Chamonix Lane immediately abutts subject property to
the East. In the Summer months, the wind frm the west usually picks up
at about 10:00 to 12:00 hrs. daily. This large parking lot and driveway
has never been paved and is extrenely dusty. As a result, one cannot
enjoy sitting on the porch or even work comfortably in the yard due to the
heavy dust cloud churned up by the constant traffic from approximately 12 -15
vehicles (cars and dirt bikes) owned by renters roaring through the parking
lot and up the steep incline of the driveway. In previous years, the driveway
was, at times, partially restricted by a chain and small sign stating
"USE FOR UNLOADING ONLY." For the last couple of years, this attempt to limit
the dust has not been observed which is causing clouds of dust to envelope
my property constantly all through the summer.
This multiple dwelling unit property is the only unit in the area that has
not been paved even though there has been a constant program of modifications.
I have conferred with the occupants and owners and have even volunteered to
pay a share of the expense of paving the parking lot and driveway. The
estimate to execute such a project is reportedly $5,000.00 and I have
volunteered to pay a share of $1,000.00. The four owners have not accepted
my offer since the dust does not bother them and the building is uphill
and to the north of the parking lot.
On June 26, 1996, I wrote to the Town of Vail, Department of Comnunity
Development on this unhealthy and unsightly situation, with copies to the
Town_Council. To my observation, no one from the Town of Vail ever came
_ out of their office to survey this unhealthy situation. I did receive a
two-page memo from some desk jockey, in answer to my complaint stating
. many excuses why the Town of Vail could not help correct this situation.
Perhaps, now that we have a few changes to the Town Council, some representative
will at least come out and observe the situation; preferably on a dry day.
If all I am to receive is another lengthy excuse as to why no action can be
taken, dan't bother. But, PLEASE at least evalualte this unsatisfactory
situation.

To All FaiYUly Ceiiler Pvleix?bers aitd Associal.e Meiribers:
1`?Iany months ago, the Family Ccntcr dccidcd to changc the rcgular mcmbciship
rneeting day frcim Monday to the second Tuesday of the month and the time from 5-
1:30 to 3:30 - 5. It was the hope of those members who made this change that the
agencies,/organizations you represent would be supportive enough of the Family.Center
to enaUle you to attena ineetuigs during work houts. It was also their hope that this
might reduce the number of evening commitments many of us have.
A few members have indicated that the time change has made it impossible for them to
attend the meetings, so ive arQ interesteci in exploring options which might suit more of
the members. `1%e recognize that we will never be able to select a day and time that
works for everyone, so our goal is to select one that suits the greatest number of
members. Based upon feedback vte have rzceived to date, we would like to hold the day
at the second Tuesday of the month, at least through the end of the year, and laok at a
possible lirrle diaiLge lltaL will suil iriore of llte iiieiribers uruxieciial.ely.

Mr. Bob McLaurin
Town Manager

75 S. Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657
Dear Mr. McLaurin:
There has been a tremendous amount of interest in rail
throughout the State of Colorado this past year. The Colorado
Department of Transportation in cooperation with many local
governments is currently undertaking a statewide passenger rail
feasibility study. This study is expected to be completed later
this year. I have enclosed a copy of a brochure which describes
that particular study in more depth.
The excitement of potential intercity rail service is growing
here in Colorado. Before the citizens of Colorado will invest in
passenger rail transportation, it is important to expose them to
passenger rail technology so that they can judge whether or not
they want to invest in passenger rail. Amtrak and the Danish rail
manufacturer, ABB, have developed a partnership to bring two 3 car
train sets to North America for a two year period whereby the
latest passenger rail technology can be demonstrated in those
states considering investing in passenger rail. The ABB train sets
consists of the IC3 technology, I have taken the liberty of
providing this information to you at the request of Tom Hines.
The State of Colorado Transportation Commission recently
authorized the Department of Tr.ansportation to enter into a
= contract with Amtrak for the demonstration project which is
estimated to cost $504,000. A cost sharing proposal was developed
. which allocated a$75,000 contribution from each corridor. The
five corridors over which a demonstration project is planned
include Grand Junction to Glenwood Springs/Carbondale, Craig to
Steamboat Springs, Glenwoood Springs to Avon/Minturn, Fort Collins
to Denver, and Denver to Pueblo. Attached you will find a copy of
the proposed schedule.
I am hoping that you will consider making a generous donation
to make this demonstration project a reality for the citizens of
Eagle County. Tax deductible donations may be made directly to
the.

ABB Traction
Two ABB Traction IC-3 Flexliners may be tested in revenue service
here in 1996-97. Extended demos are likely in California and else-
where. (To co-sponsor a demo, an agency should contact Amtrak
or ABB.) The IC-3 is a"high-tech," three-car, articulated (i.e., cars
permanently coupled), self-propelled, diesel train-set with good
_ ride quality even on mediocre track. Great acceleration and 100+
mph capability make it suitable for multi-stop and express runs.
IC-3's can run coupled together or to the electric IR-4, and can
couple/uncouple in seconds (even while moving). IC-3's domi=
nate Denmark's intercity service (above); run in Sweden, Israel and
Germany; and are coming to Spain and Belgium.

The great Colorado Passenger Rail Project of'96
With the assistance and leadership of CDOT; the communities, counties and
resorts along five rail corridors in Colorado are making exceptioaal
progress in raising the funding to demonstrate the new self-propelled,
light-weight and fast IC3 "Flexliner" -"The Form of the Future" .
A m t r a k will demonstrate two new I C 3 trains for service in the Western
United States. A m t r a k has invited the communities of Colarado to
participate in the demonstration of the new IC3 train for thirty days
within five corridors of the metropolitan and resort areas of the State.
On May 16th a group of elected representatives and private citizens from
from 1 , The Eagle Valley, and The Roaring Fork
V a 11 e Y, met in Glenwood Springs, with officials from Am t r a lc • C D O T
Front Range Rail, C o R A C. Club 20, C-A S T, The Asnen SkiingCo. and
the Western Slope Rail Association to develop an action plan for
' demonstration of the IC3 in Colorado.
The Great Colorado Pa nger Rail PrQ,iQC_ t of '96, has been allocated
a demonstration time in the late summer or early fall, but it must be
contracted for, by June 21st. The Western Slope Rail Association is
. working to secure private and corporate sponsorships to be used to
promote and underwrite the cost of the demonstration. Throughout the
State, people have spoken, at numerous meetings, for a solution to the ever
growing. highway congestion; and of their desire to preserve the quality of
life with a better environment. You now have an opportunity, to secure a
"Ouality of Travel" and a solution: Therefore, we invite you to make a
- substantial financial contribution to ensure a rail future for The Peogle
of Colorado. A suggested $1,000 contribution will sponsor a seat on the
train during the demonstration period; with appropriate recognition for the
sponsor. Your important participation is vital to the success of this project.

VAIL'S PULIS/GOLF COURSE BRIDGE IS NOW OPEN TO TRAFFIC
Vail's new Pulis/Golf Course bridge is now open to traffic at the intersection of South
Frontage Road and Vail Valley Drive. In April, the bridge was demolished to allow for ,
construction of a new, wider bridge. Although the bridge work has been completed,
road construction will continue between the bridge and Sunburst Drive on Vail Valley
Drive until the middle of July. Traffic delays could occur on that segment until the work
by B&B Construction is completed.
The $600,000 bridge project was funded by an 80-20 percent federal grant, with the
Town of Vail picking up $125,000. The project algo includes numerous aesthetic
improvements to serve as a gateway to the Golf Course. Dry weather enabled crews
from Duckles Construction of Steamboat Springs to complete the project on schedule
and with few problems--until yesterday. That's when a subcontractor hired to install
guard rails inadvertently punched through a U S West fiber optic cable.
For specific questions related to the construction, contact Greg Hall, town engineer, at
479-2160. .
