Thomas Moorhead, Town Attorney DATE: April 18, 1997 RE: Review of Sound Ordinance Attached is a copy of the Town of Vail Sound Ordinance which is Section 8.24.060 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. At this time I am requesting direction as to whether or not Council wishes to address specific changes in the ordinance. As a result of last summer's "sound season" there were citations issued to Pepi's and the Red Lion as a result of readings in excess of the permitted decibel levels. These matters were resolved in Municipal Court by deferred judgments. The specific recommendation that I have at this time is to include within the definition for "exterior amplification" any amplification which is interior but permitted to extend beyond the premise location due to open windows and doors. This appears to be a problem encountered from some establishments at the top of Bridge Street and Wall Street. Thank you.

The numbers used have been auditai. The auditcd financial ,taiemcnts will bc issucd sometimc in May. This report is meant to summarizc the results of the Town's financial condition. Thi, rerort also includet a summary of department savings; schedulc of requirccl suppiemcntal arpropriations for 1997; and an updated projcx:t schedule for the RETT and Capital Projects funds for 1997. The financial condition of the Town remains sirong at the end of 1996. Fund balances for the . Town, cndcd thc ycar g3.4 millicm in excess of our foreca;ts in the 1997 budget. The majority of this excess, $2.8 million, was from money not slient in the Capital & Reat Estate Transfer Tax Funds. The excess iu the Capital Projects fund has already been allocated for projec;ts in 1997. The General Fund cndcd the ycar with an cxcc,s fund balance of $535,691. The excess in the general fund was due to certain revenues excecding our forecasts, as wcll as savings from salarics and benefits. 1Reveananes Overall, all the Town's revenues excceded lhe 1996 budget by 7.45% and exceeded the 1995 revcnucs by 6.18'%. A, you may rccall, thc 1996 revenues were budgeted very conservatively. Thcrefore, the 7.45% is not asurprisc.

The excess revenues in the Capital Projecis fund wcre anticipated and were required to fund projects in 1997. Expenditures All of the Town's funds ended the ycar under their amendcd expenditure budgets. The fund with the . ' largest savings, $638,060 was the Gencral Fund. The largest contributor to the savings was salary and benefit savings, $309,193, of which bcnefit savings generated 51 % of those savings. A portion of the savings, $142,403, ccmlcs from unfinished projects budgeted in 1996. This has been rolled forward to 1997. See the litit of required supplemental appropriations for details. Departmcnis within the Town will be crcdited with S222,890 for saving money in their departments. Of that amount, $45,1 83 was gcncratcd by savings credited to denartments for permanent staff reductions in 1996. The savings credited to departments does not include savings from salaries and benefits or internal cliarges under budget. Therefore, departments are credited with savings on line items ihey ccmtrol. A cuprlemental apliropriation of `.n2,094,1 19 will bc required in 1997 to finish uncompleted rrojects from 1996 and to comnlete the work plan for the Real Estale Transfer Tax ( RETT) Fund in 1997. Of the $2 million supplemcntal appropriation, S1,846,700 is for the RETT fund. As you may recall, wc lefl Ihe 1997 RETT budgct incum}iIctc un nurliose because of the status of the Ford Park managcmcnt Plan.

McLaurin, Town Managel---- DATE: April 18, 1997 RE: Seibert Circle Project Since the recommendation of the AIPP Board on April 1st, we have been working to develop some agreements necessary to move this project forward. Specifically, we have met with Pete Seibert on several occasions, as well as property owners around Seibert Circle. We have also spoken to Jesus Morales, the artist recommended by the AIPP Board. As we have discussed previously, it is my recommendation that we bring Mr. Morales to Vail in order to meet with Mr. Seibert, the Council, and others who may be interested in moving this effort forward. The purpose of this meeting is for Mr. Morales to gain additional understanding of Town of Vail values and needs with respect to this art project. It will also provide an opportunity for us to explore additional designs by Mr. Morales for this area. If there is no agreement with respect to the appropriateness of the medium and this artist following this visit, we will. terminate this effort and/or approach and move in a different direction. The action requested of the Council is a motion to authorize the Town Manager to make the necessary arrangements to set up these meetings. RWM/aw RECYCLEDPAPER C~ .

The decision was based on research conducted by their hydrologist, who determined that snowpack melt and temperature conditions are similar to that of 1984, which you may recall caused problems with debris flow. The U.S. Forest Service feels strongly that this area will need to have a controlled burn sometime in the future. They will continue to monitor the conditions of the terrain and it is possible that it could take place next year or the year after. We respect their professional judgement on the decision not to burn this year and commend them for. that. Thank you for your letter expressing your concerns. We always encourage citizen participation in situations such as this. If we can be of any further assistance, please call. Sincerely, TOWN F VAIL Robert W. Armour Mayor RWA/aw ; • . . ~ ~ ' • : .

March 27, 1997. Mr. Bob Armour Mayor of Vail 75 S. Frontage Road ' Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mr. Armour: I enclose a copy of my letter to William A. Wood, District Ranger, regarding the pro- posed burn which affects the Booth Creek area where we have a residence (2425 Bald Mountain Road). I do not know the first thing about land erosion, burns, fires, etc. I do know that our residence is in a section where we had mudslides not too long ago. We were lucky to escape damage. In discussion with Tom Johnston of the Forest Service, he could not give me 100% assur- ance that something could go amiss in this project and damage could be done. Frankly9 I am not interested in having to go against either the Forest Service or the U.S. Government. I don't know the position of the town council on this project. I was not happy with the idea that notification was a letter placed under my door rather than by direct mail to my permanent residence. F would like to know the position of the Town Council on this project. I attended the meeting that you were at in New York City in which there were discussions about being responsive to second home owners. I would appreciate hearing from you the town's position on this project and in particular9 answers to my concerns. Sincerely, j72.

Box 190 - '.Minturn, Colorado 81645 RE: PROPOSED PRESCRIBED BURN in the BOOTH CREEK AREA (Sections 1-6 T.SS, R.SOW) Dear Mr. Wood: I spoke with Tom Johnston at the Forest Service office on April 24th concerning the proposed burn. He was kind enough to fill me in as to the plan and how it would affect my property on Bald Mountain Road. I appreciate very much the time he spent talking with me. I am most concerned about rhe possibility of land erosion and another mud- slide occurring. Obviously, the Forest Service would do everything in its power to assure the residence on Bald Mountain Road that this would not occur. Further, Mr. Jonnston told me that shculd there be any problem with landslides, or damage to our homes, provisions would be made for claims against the Forest: Service of U.S. Government. This idea is not very comforting to me as a resident who had to have his home boarded with plywood during the last mudslide. With the heavy snows that we had this winter and the early spring thaw, I have add.itional concerns. I wish to_be counted as a property ourner against this project. The only reason I did not communicate with you sooner was t.hat the le.tter dated February 5, 1997 was placed under my door and-not sent to me at my residence in New York.

He appears to be an exceptional young man who should benefit greatly from the travel experience to Mt. Buller, Australia, this coming summer. Should there be any difficulties or questions in regard to the arrangements for this scholarship, please do not hesitate to call Karen Phillips, who is the coordinator for the Vail Valley Exchange (our local Sister Cities organization), at 845-2472, or in Fort Collins at (970) 416-1336. Additionally, the Council continues to be concerned about what further recommendations and/or acknowledgment Battle Mountain High School may be considering for two seniors who were previously nominated for the Vail Youth Recognition Award: Tyler Voliter and Kerry Donovan. _ Because these two outstanding young people did not the meet the criteria as previously set forth by the Vail Town Council, we felt some anguish about not being able to recognize them through the Town beyond a letter of appreciation and a nomination certificate. However, we remain hopeful that Battle Mountain High School and School District RESOJ will fmd an appropriate manner in which to recognize these extraordinary young people. We remain concerned that neither the Town nor Battle Mountain High School receive a"black eye" over the school's misunderstanding of this award's stated criteria. The purpose of this letter is not to place blame for the current situation, but rather to achieve equity for Tyler and Kerry. ou for your participation in this Ag ains earnestly interested in recognizing Youth in ~n~ on behalf of the Vail Town Cou~cil, il remd like to thank Y facultY and student recognition process.

Please see evening meeting briefs for more details. --PEC Review During a review of Monday's Planning and Environmental Commission meeting, the Council heard a brief update on the Lionshead Redevelopment Master planning process which was presented Monday during a joint meeting of the PEC and Design Review Board. In all, 173 ideas have been brainstormed by the public for improvement and/or changes to Lionshead. In early April, the ideas were presented at a public forum and published in the local newspapers for evaluation by the public. Preferences from more than 200 individuals were documented through the outreach. The information has now been categorized and is scheduled to be presented to the Town Council at the April 22 work session. There, the Council will be asked to review the materials and the Stage 3 alternatives analysis schedule and either forward the entire wish list items to the project team for more thorough evaluation or modify the list. In preparation for the meeting, Community Development Director Susan Connelly asked the Council to review a list of 20 items that appear to be of particular interest or concern to the public. For more information, contact Connelly at 479-2140. --Discussion of Locals Housing Purpose, Framework, Strategies and Priority Actions Senior Housing Policy Planner Andy Knudtsen presented an overview of proposed high, medium and low-priority actions for inclusion in the town's upcoming work program for locals housing. In presenting the list of 16 actions from which to choose, Knudtsen said he would return to the Council in another month to bring closure to the list. In the interim, he said the Council would hear a variety of other ideas regarding housing from the Vail Tomorrow process, Lionshead redevelopment process, the Eagle County housing policies, the Leadership Coalition and the annual TOV community survey. During discussion yesterday, the Council expressed interest in finding out how it might facilitate completion of "the Ruins" project near Cascade Village. "The Ruins" (more) RECYCLEDPAPER TOV Highlights/Add1 development project, approved by the town in 1995, requires the developer to build 17 employee housing units in addition to its market-rate condominiums. The Council also stressed the importance of maintaining the 198 rental housing units at Timber Ridge for the future. For more information, contact Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at 479-2440. --Information Update ' . Updates included: notification of a liquor license application for La Cantina; a report from the Colorado Geological Society regarding the Booth Falls rock fall is _ forthcoming; the annual TOV employee breakfast is April 17; Vail Tomorrow community conference is April 16 and 17. --Other At the suggestion of Kevin Foley, the Council agreed to place the parking-pay-in-lieu program on an upcoming council agenda for discussion. The discussion will include the program's purpose and how the policy is to be applied. Evening Session Briefs Council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Kurz, Navas --Citizen Participation There was no citizen participation. --Consent Agenda The Council voted 7-0 to approve the meeting minutes of March 4 and March 25 and an ordinance amending the Municipal Code to provide for the adoption of an annual elevator inspection fee. --Austria Haus Special Development District After hearing testimony from the applicant and nine other members of the audience, the Council voted 4-3 (Jewett, Johnston, Armour against) to deny second reading approval . of a Special Development District (SDD) for the Austria Haus. On March 25, the Council voted 5-2 (Ford and Armour against) to approve the redevelopment on first reading with seven conditions. Last night, Councilmembers Navas, Kurz and Foley said they thought those conditions would result in a smaller building. It didn't. In complying with the conditions, including one to require 16 additional parking spaces to be placed underground on-site, Gordon Pierce, representing the applicant (Sonnenalp Properties), said the building's GRFA (gross residential floor area) grew slightly, but didn't alter the overall size of the building from what was presented previously. Pierce spent most of his presentation emphasizing the appropriateness of his design in the context of the surrounding buildings. However, Councilman Rob Ford said it would be more appropriate to evaluate the proposal in the context of how it relates to the underlying zoning for the site. Never, he said, has the Town Council approved a building which departs so dramatically from the underlying zoning. The greatest historical departure, he said, has been a 33% increase in building size granted to the Vail Athletic Club, (more) , ~ . . TOV Council Highlights/Add2 whereas the Austria Haus proposes a 91 % increase. Ford said the town should "hold the line on overdevelopment." In voting against the motion to defeat the SDD, Councilman Michael Jewett said he was baffled by the turn of events. He said he felt the applicant had addressed the seven conditions required previously. And if other councilmembers had wanted the applicant to scale the project down, they should have been specific in making it a condition of approval. He said it wouldn't be fair to turn the project down since the applicant had met the conditions. Also last night, Mayor Bob Armour said he put the blame on himself for not facilitating clarification from the council . . at the beginning of his term regarding redevelopment limits ihat could be used as a - framework for staff. Most Councilmembers said they wanted to rework the SDD process so appficants wouldn't find themselves in a.position of denial on second reading. But Councilman Paul Johnston said SDDs are designed to give the Town Council latitude in decision-making. If the process is to be redesigned, Johnston suggested consideration of a moratorium on SDDs during the interim. The Austria Haus redevelopment proposal included 22 member-owned fractional fee club units with 21 lock-off units, plus 28 hotel rooms, an on-site manager's residence, and 4,649 square feet of new commercial retail space. For additional details, please contact George Ruther in the Community Development Department at 479-2145 or watch the gavel-to-gavel coverage of the meeting on Channel 5 Vail Valley Community Television. Call 949-5657 for a schedule listing. --Ordinance No. 8, Proof of Insurance The Council voted 7-0 on second reading to approve an ordinance establishing failure to provide a certificate of insurance as a municipal traffic offense. The ordinance allows violators to be cited in municipal court rather than county court. Municipal Judge Buck Allen and Vail Police Chief Greg Morrison had recommended the action. For more information, contact Town Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107. --GRFA (Gross Residential Floor Area) By a"vote of 6-1 (Jewett against), the Council directed staff to explore the impacts of having time limits for what has become known as "option 1" in the GRFA discussion: Keep GRFA, but allow for development of interior space in existing homes. The Council had directed staff to evaluate the existing GRFA system and determine if it is an appropriate tool for regulating mass and bulk when compared to other alternatives. Two other alternatives were evaluated. Option 2 would keep GRFA, but would not count basement space. Option 3 would eliminate GRFA. During public input last night, most of those who spoke encouraged the Council to select option 3, saying it would simplify the system without abuses in mass and bulk.

In-Town, Shuttle (Vail Village-Lionshead) The town will continue to make use of a new scfieduling system for the in-town route to help riders more easily plan connections between the outlying and intown buses. In the past, buses have established frequency based on the positioning, or spacing, of other buses on the route. But a new system with designated departure times at each stop has been a popular improvement. Spring schedules for the in-town departures are posted throughout the Village to Lionshead route. Service will be provided every 20 minutes. (more) Spring TOV Bus/Add 2 The spring schedule will utilize 8 vehicles per day and 14 drivers. That compares to 23 buses and 37 drivers per day in the winter season. A summer schedule for service beginning June 2 will be available in early Niay. Bikes on Buses . Bike racks have again been installed on the front of the town's outlying vans and buses to accommodate two bikes per rack. Bikes will not be allowed on the in-town shuttles at any time. Spring bus schedules are available at the Vail Transportation Center and the Vail Municipal Building. For additional information on the spring bus schedule, call the town's 24-hour recorded information line at 328-8143.

At least until you receive a copy of the Town of Vail's new, easy-to-use community survey. The 10,000 surveys are being mailed this week for the tenth year; this time, with an emphasis on participation. Responses are used to shape future municipal priorities. This year-'s mail-back survey has been reworked into a new format for added _ convenience. It's shorter (four pages) and results will be tabulated by optical scanner for faster results. "We know it's the end of ski season and most folks are ready to leave town for a break," said Bob McLaurin, Vail town manager. "But, before you do, please take a moment to fill out the survey and return it to the town. This is our annual report card. It's important to hear from as many peopie as possible." In addition to satisfaction ratings for municipal services, the new survey asks respondents to comment on six topics which surfaced during the past year: (more) RECYCLEDPAPER " a + Community Survey/Add 1 • free parking in the structures from 3 p.m. to 7 a.m. • economic vitality in Vail Village and Lionshead • use of the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) • streamwalk expansiori • loading and delivery in the commercial core • citizen participation - The survey is being mailed to approximately 8,500 residents and business owners, plus another 1,500 randomly selected part-time residents. Respondents are asked to return the survey within 10 days. RRC Associates, a Boulder-based research firm, will tabulate the results. Results from past sui~veys have been used to: • fund improvements to the Main Vail and West Vail interchanges • appoint a full-time housing coordinator • establish a walk-in service counter for Community Development Department customers • streamline the town's development review process (now underway) • emphasize citizen involvement in community problem-solving "The survey has been an important tool in identifying new focus areas and in evaluating our customer service levels," McLaurin said. "We're holding a mirror up to - ourselves t9 find out if we're in synch with community expectations and needs." That's why participation is critical. McLaurin said the survey has been reworked tfiis year to encourage responses from every household and business. "With this simplified format, we're challenging everyone to take 10 minutes to help prioritize what's important." In the past, the annual survey return rate has averaged about 15 percent. This year the town is aiming for a response rate of 20 percent or higher.

(Vail)--With paid parking ending April 20, the Town of Vail will process end-of-season deposits through May 31. However, customers have only until April 20 to claim collateral used to exit the parking structures in lieu of cash. Parking Collateral Claims Due April 20 Hats, coats, mittens, gloves, goggles, skis, poles, compact discs, film and heaps of other valuables have been collected throughout the year from those who've exchanged collater.al for parking. To reclaim collateral used earlier in the season, property owners should-bring the cash they owe to the rriain parking booth iri Vail Village or Lionshead to be exchanged for the item they left of similar value. Transit manager Mike Rose says the town has about $1,500 worth of collateral items, including a license plate. "Many of these items are worth more than the parking debt owed," Rose said. "We want to encourage people to stop by and reclaim their property." He said the debts range from $3 to $14 and are the result of well-intentioned and oftentimes embarrassed users who didn't have the cash or check. (more) RECYCLEDPAPER TOV Parking/Add 1 "We recognize the need for credit card transactions and hope to be in the position to offer this service in the future as technology permits," Rose said. Until then, he said, a promissory note mechanism will be introduced beginning next season in place of the collateral program.. . Following the April 20 deadline, all unclaimed collateral will be sold to the public at the annual police auction. Parking Deposits Processed throaagh May 31 Parking deposits wil.l be processecJ by the town's Finance Department through May 31, either on-site or by mail. Value pass holders must carry forward any unused parking to the 1997-98 ski season, while gold-and blue-pass holders may exchange their passes for a$25 deposit. The pass deposit refunds of $50 or less will be processed immediately for customers who use the finance window on the lower level of the Municipal Building, 75 S. Frontage Rd. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. - Those using the mail-in rebate program should include their blue pass or gold pass plus a self-addressed stamped envelope with end-of-season return address.

We understand that one uf the purposcs of the Lionshead redevelopment process is to give both full and part time citizens the opportunity to express their opinions about a variety of proposals, If Kesponse 153 is passed at this time, it does not allow fur public inpue; in fact, it gives the dcvcloper the ribht to develop the property on his own terms. It is interesting ta note ehat there appears to be vcry lietle support for Rcsponsc No. 153. . Thc vote in favor of this proposal was Ywo.

Assistant R/97bod3-1 lmin TOTAL P.04 Apr 17,1997 Vail Town Council Town of Vail Co. We are writing as representatives of Apollo Park Lodge, Apollo Park at Vail Condominium Association, the Tyrolean Inn, and the Tyrolean Condominium Association concerning the path which our guests and condominium owners use to assess the village and ski mountain. The path to our places is about 100 paces and is putposely not maintained, which is certainly not very guest friendly and not very considerate of the condominium owners. I)uring the winter, probably at least 400 people per day are using this path, and some of the guests have expressed complete indignation and bewilderment that the town of a world class resort would be so inconsiderate of their guests We think it is important not only to have convenient accommodations and places to eat for our guests and owners but also to have well-maintained and safe pathways for them to access various parts of the town. The path along Gore Creek from Vail Valley Drive to our places, in addition to being very treacherous for most of the winter, is very muddy in many places on the many sunny days we have during all months of the ski season. If the people do not want to use the path because of its condition the only alternative is to use the Blue Cow chute and also the Frontage Road for the Apollo people, certainly not a safe or desirable altemative. We do not think it is asking too much for the town to redo the walk for these hundred paces with a hard surface that could be easily maintained by a snow blower. We would like to see the path upgraded for easy maintenance before neact ski season. We understand that there are some people who want to keep the stream walk natural for the su.mmer and that with enough time and money an esthetic solution could be found which would keep a natural appearance and provide a surface which could be readily maintained for the safety and convenience of the many people who use the path in the winter. However, just as we might want to have a better appearance to Bridge Street, we wouldn't think of leaving it natural until a better surface is put in, we strongly feel the same way about this section of the stream path. The condition of the path in the winter is a significant disincentive for buests and owners - to use it in the evening and thus many may want to just eat dinner in their condo or drive down valley rather than eat in town These altemative choices to eating in the village would negatively impact the town's revenues from sales taxes. For you to have a better appreciation of the path in winter, enclosed are 7 pictures of the path taken in the late afternoon in early March, and are not atypical, but typical in the winter except right after a big snowfall. The pictures numbered from 1 to 6 are from the Apollo steps to Vail Valley road. Number 3 is the entrance to the Tyrolean restaurant. In number 3 and 4, the light is hanging out of the fixture; as shown in number 5 and 6, and the loose pictu.re looking upstream, the fixtures in the vicinity ofthe Comish are completely inoperative. We trust you will give this matter your attention and look forward to your response. Thank you, Peppi Langegger Sig Langegger President, Tyroleon Condominiu.m,.~ Manager, Tyrolean '.estaurant 400 E.

Those attending the "Create Vail Tomorrow" community conference on April 16 and 17 agreed to endorse the 40 actions after working through a list of recommendations forwarded to them by six teams. Those endorsements include a request to allocate a portion of the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) for the provision of affordable housing, and a recommendation to allow a combination of uses on the town-owned Donovan Park property. Specifically, Vail Tomorrow recommends open space preservation of the park's lower bench, construction of affordable housing on the middle bench and a combination of the two on the upper bench. A team recommendation to withhold approvals of Lionshead redevelopment construction until completion of infrastructure and carrying capacity studies along with other updates was modified at the conference. The group agreed to endorse a project schedule for the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan with an emphasis on citizen involvement and technical analysis. The agreements were reached during the second evening of the conference after a rigorous consensus-building discussion that has become a hallmark of the Vail Tomorrow project. The discussions were facilitated by Tweed Kezziah and Susan (more) P.O. Box 1015 - Vail. Colorado 81698 • 970-479-2451 - http://vail.netNail-Tomorrow Vail Tomorrow Action/Add 1 Watkins of Colorado Springs who have helped with the previous Vaii Tomorrow community sessions. "The conference participants did a tremendous job of working together to resolve some tough issues," said Watkins. "The strong work of the teams laid a great foundation for the decisions that were made." During the previous evening, the 125 conference participants heard a report from each of the teams detailing their recommendations, rationale, and plans for action and implementation. The actions endorsed by Vail Tomorrow are as follows: Affordable Housing Goal Area • Continue to use the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) for open space acquisition and improvement; a portion of it should also be considered for use for affordable housing. • Achieve a net gain in affordable housing in Vail for both seasonal and year-round employees from 38 percent to 62 percent living in Vail who work in Vail by the year 2010. • Initiate Inclusionary Zoning which includes the requirement that affordable housing be included in a development plan in order for the proposed development, redevelopment or special development district to receive governmental approvals. • Build seasonal units over both the Lionshead and the Village Parking Structures. Build employee housing on Town of Vail-owned Town Shops site at the west end of Lionshead between South f=rontage Road and Gore Creek. • Build seasonal housing on Vail Resorts, Inc.-owned sites such as that on South Frontage Road currently used for maintenance shops and the warehouse. • Build deed-restricted housing sirnilar to the Commons in Lionshead, perhaps on sites between seasonal units and the rest of Lionshead. • Establish a Housing Trust Fund, a permanent, regionally-supported source of funds to be used specifically and solely for the purpose of creating a net increase in the availability of affordable housing in the valley. • Initiate a program within Vail to offer significant incentives for property owners who contribute to solutions to the affordable housing problem. • Encourage the Town of Vail to use all measures available to it to maintain and increase existing employee hausing units. • Encourage the Town of Vail to require that Vail Resorts, Inc. set a goal of housing 62 percent of its own seasonal employees who are renters.

(more) Vail Tomorrow ActionlAdd 3 Regional Cooperation Goai Area • Create a venue to begin discussions of the issues and the opportunities related to regional cooperation. Issues that have been identified for resolution are: consolidation of emergency/other municipal services; regional marketing funding; regional housing trust funding; Berry Creek Fifth Filing; government interaction .(i.e. Regional Cooperation Coalition/Council of Governments); , . transportation/trails; and open space/environment. World Class Resort Goal Area • Initiate a Lodging Upgrade Initiative to include: a letter to property owners from the Town of Vai1, Vail Associates, Board of Realtors, Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau, etc. urging renovation; survey guests to determine lodging problems and priorities in upgrade programs; develop community standards for acceptable rental lodging; provide hotels and management companies with tools . to encourage renovation; and, as a last resort, remove substandard units or management companies from eligibility for sale through central reservation. • Support current Guest Service Training program (Turn it Up). Youth Goal Area • Resolve issues that surround participation at the aquatic facility in Avon. • Establish a County-wide Youth Task Force, directed by youth. • Pursue development of some facilities and activities identified through a survey of youth administered in area schools, such as a Water Fun Park and/or Imax facility and Under 21 Ciub, perhaps in concert with proposals from other Vail Tomorrow teams (Community Center). • Co,nduct an annual review of local education through an education summit.. • Create community dialogue tn respond to youth ideas and facilitate communication of them to the decision makers. • Promote growth of a healthy and constructive youth culture. Additional Agreement Reached • Vail Tomorrow believes that open space and affordable housing are both important to the Vail community, and that one should not be pursued at the exclusion of the other. With endorsement in hand, teams now will begin working with specific implementing organizations to turn the ideas into action. "This is the critical step that will distinguish Vail Tomorrow from similar initiatives in other communities," said Tweed Kezziah. (more) a e Vail Tomorrow Action/Add 4 "Vail's strong commitment to action will make the difference between this process and others that end up with just another report on the shelf." The teams were formed in fVovember to work on the prioritized goal areas of - Affordable Housing, Building Community, Natural & Built Environment and Regional Cooperation. Also, teams have recently been activated in the goal areas of Youth and VVorld Class Resort. The Vail Tomorrow process has also adopted the remaining goal areas: Growth Management; Economic Diversity; Family; Cultural and Educational; and Safety and Security. A fourth community conference will be scheduled this fall to provide a progress report on implementation of the current actions and to discuss next steps on these remaining goal areas. The visioning and action planning project began last July and has involved more than 1,000 people, including full-time residents, part-time residents, business owners, and others who have shared their ideas in the Vail Tomorrow process. Involvement activities have included community roundtable discussions, local and second - homeowner surveys, community conferences and-team work on recommending actions. To date, that involvement has been used to define Vail's values, establish the 11 goals, identify the four critical goals for immediate action, brainstorm 600-plus actions in the 11 goal areas, form four self-directed work teams and endorse 38 actions for implementation. Anyone who cares about the future of Vail is encouraged to help with the project-- especially now. Volunteers are needed to join the teams' work to get their endorsed actions adopted by area implementing organizations and agencies and to join the (more) Vail Tomorrow Action/Add 5 ongoing work of Vail Tomorrow.

Wells, an adjacent property owner, we hereby appeal to the Vail Town Council the April 14, 1997 decision of the Town of i/ail Planrumg and Enviroiunenta] Com.nnuission ("PEC") regarding the approval of LQdge Prvperties, Inc.'s Request for a Minor Subdivision to the Lodge Tower Parcel. Un behalf of 1Virs. Wells, vve objeet on the grounds of ldck of notice as adjacent praperly owner to the FEC hearing pursuant to Vail Municipal Code § 17.20.030(B), which refers to Vai1 Municipal Code § 17.16.130. We fiarther object on the basis that the attached dociament entitled, Declaraiian pP Land AIloeation, and other relevant miscellaiieous pages, were never presented by the applieant to the "Town Planner (or the PEC) for an accurate historical perspec4ive and analysis of the proposed subdivisaon. Therefore, the planner's evaluation of the request and recommendation to the PEC that the requested subdivision be apgroved was based on an inaccurate and incomplete record, apparcntly not found by the planner in the "Y'own's records. It is our position that the approved subdivision may adversely affect adjacent propezty and Vail, generally, by increasing the current and fitivre develppmcnt nights on the remaining Lodgc at Vail property. BWdEpErodEnCE 6'l1tA . 10SO 171ti Si. The I)eclarativn of Land. ?,11ocation, dated Ju1y 10, 1972, is bath relevant and important to unders#anding the history of the Lodge a4 Vail property and for the S°"E ~ 50~ requiredl zoning approvals obtained for the construction of the Lodge Tower in the DEnvFS, CO 80265 early 1.970s. The Declaration of l.and Allocation legally idenfified and determined 303-685-4800 the "building site" for the I.odge Tower as the entire 3.44 acre-parcel of the Lodgc at Vail property and not merely the building envelope af the Ladge Tower as fAx 3W.685-4869 suggested by the applicant. Vdithout this designation of a larger building site, therc JCFXK_I326M ~ APR-21-1997 15:37 JCFKK P.03i11 Members of the totnrn Counsel Page 2 Apxi124, 1997 would not have been the requisite amount of square footage in the "building site" for zoning approval of the proposed building as restricted by the GRFA ratio at that time. Our understanding uf this document and the Tawn's apprava? of the Ladge Tower based thereon is that the Town and the l.odge at \/ail acknowledged that the entire parcel, as designated, was then completely "built out" in texans of the densi4y permitted at that time. Indeed, 4his occurred juct prior to the adoption, of a new zoning am.endment whicb decreased the allowed GRFA ratio (i.e., allowable density) significantly. To our knowledge, no subdivision of the Lodge Tower building envelupe vtras pursued or approved when the building was condominiumized in October af 1.973. Tt is our position that no subdivision would have been approved or should now be approved because the Decla.ration of Land Allocaiion defines the building site as the larger parc;el and bec:duuse any proposed subdavision would not be in compliance with the 7'own's zoning ordinanecs at the time or today. Alternatively, on behalf of Mrs. Wells, we request that the Towaz Council voie at its work ' session/executive meeting to be held toffiorrow at noon to appeal the PEC's approval of the requested subdivision pursuant to i/ai1 Municipal Code § 17.20.030(D), which refers to iTail M[unicipal Code § 17_16_190_ As further support for the appeal and reconsideration of the PEC's approval of the ~ requested subdivision, wc refer the Town Council, the PEC, andlor the zoning administrator to Vail 1Vluxaicipal Cvde § 17.04A20(E)(4), which provides that the zonang adZninistrator, PEC and/or councal (whichever is appficable) may vdithdraw any approval of a plan or plat or require certain carrective measures lo be taken follovvgng a determination that information pravided by the subd'tvider, or by anyone on his behalf, upon which a decision was based is false or inaccurate. Agsin, on belalf of Mrs. We11s, we reitcrate that we appeal the F'EC's appmval af the requested subdivision of the Lodge Tower parc;el and/pr request the Town Council to vote to appeal the decnsion of the PFC within the ten days mandated by the '1'own Code. ]G~'KK-I S~yl-1 RPR-21-1997 15:37 JCFKK P.04i11 I 1l/lzmbers of the town Counsel 1'age 3 Apri121, 1997 VV'e would appreciate being informed of the outcome of the Town Councii's vote and when the appeal hearing as set so that we may make a fuller presentafion of our abjections at that time.

Mr. Bob Armoair, Mayar '1'own ot 11ai1 75 South Froncase KoiLd i Vafl, CO 81657 _ YiA Facsimil~ I Dear Mr. Arrnour le is rrey hope that thes communication wilt enable us to clearly define aur practical and financial constraints for the Austraa Haus rcdevelopmenc project and, in respun=, to rewive a clear reaction front the Town Council so that we may either continue the pracess or abandon the project. As you are aware, we bave filed two new applications for the Austria I-Isus Club: ane for PA-'l eezoning and the Other for an adjusted SuU. In both cases, we have incurpuraLCd Chatigts t0 the previouS SDD request dn an aYtempt to Satisfy most of the criticisms of the project, while stil{ retaining the possbility of obtaining financing. A summary ot some of _ ehose chaaages follows: 1. Reducticm of the number of club units #'rom 22 4o 20. 2. Reduction of the number of floors from five to four. . 3. Reduc4ion of the height of the building to 48 feet maximwri. 4. Provisian of space for additional support for the hotcl rvoms. S, Design Uf an aenenity package to include an outdoor poal, excrcise rootn with sauna, loungc and bar, etc. . 6. Itedesign af the sizc of the loadin$ ramp and increase in landscaping on the wcs~t side of the building. Whereas 1 am sure that these changes veill noe quiet every critec ar criticism, ! believe thnt the changes rcpresenY the maximum reductian in the seope of the project tLai is financially fcasible fnr ouc (c?r any) finannciag source. As per the attached letter from our lender's represeniativc. Textron Financial Corparation (who has financed the majority of the existing Club proje6gs Rnd is the major lcnder in that business), I azn not sure that the new proposal will meet their collateral criterial. jJnfortunately, we will not have a defimtive ansvuer to Y.hat question utttil the Towm of Vail approves the projec4 and the compleee permittcd package is rcviewcd by Texcron's Ioan comsnitcee. 415 291 9623 P02 ; I Mayor Bob Armour April21, 1997 i Fage 2 ~ ~ Prior to last Tuesday, we were in the process of receiving a commitment from Textron for the necessary $27,500,000 to develop the previous project. That commitment did not consider the hotel rooms a,S collateral for arry part of that tinancing hocel rooms are a cash flow business, with a11 of thc 63ks of any business in seasonal resort area$. 't'he commercial space and the 22 club units were ttie only cv11ateral, with each unit representing abaut $1,200,000 af average collateral value. This ncw version vvi11 require J each ofthe ZO club uNts to represemt over $1,300,000 in average collateral value, and we are dramaticaUy changing and reducing the value of our four penthouse units. Textron has indicated that they will not accept an increase in our original projected sales prices for the club memberships, since these Prices already represent the highest in che industry by quite a bit. , We have an additional problem with the timing of this project at this point. 1'he closing date of our purchase agreemecrt wittt the Sonnenaip, which has been extended tw?o times ia the past, is July ZZnd. The seller has indicated that they will not grarrt another extension, , which means that we would need Town Gouncil approval a minimum of thirty days before I that datc. f We would appreciate direction from the Town Council with regards to the above mentioned issues. tf you wish for us to develop chis product in Vaii, please tell us which proCess (SDD or PA- l) you prefer. The club concept is expanding rapidly in resorc areas in the US and internationally to the benefit of the host communities, not only providing a new type of boutique hotel but also replacing a substantiaf amour(t of seasonal second home devclopment. We continue ita our firm belief that- the Austria Haus Club wifl be af tremendous vafue to Vail and will set the highest standard in the industry. ~ Thank you for your attention to this letter.

To my knowledga the Homeowners Association has not received a request nor has it offered to provide infonnation rsgarding the stream tract covenant agreement to any public o$icials at the Town of Vail. It is respecifully suggested that the resolution of this matter should be of sufficient importance to Town officials that they should obtain certified copies of the covenant fil- ings directly from archive officials at the Eagle County. 2. Rezoning and SDD Applications Controversy The developer of the Austria Haus has indicated to the Homeowners Association that they will submit a modified version of the Austcia Haus proposal as dual application one as a rezoning and another as a Special Development District. The Homeowners Association, because of the prece- dent setting and far reaclung consequences of the issues involved, does not object to the dual appli- cation filing. We believe it is the fairest method for the Town Council to heaz azguments as to the appropriateness of both zoning methods without jeopardizing the outcome of the review process, the redevelopment of the Austria Haus. We ask that the applicant not be interfered with in pursuing his dual application and that staff be direct not-to-remonstrate against the applicant for his submission of a dual application. It is our position that fair, honest and open debate over the merits of each appli- cation will give the Town Council the information needed to resolve tlie many outsta.nding issues as- sociated with the use of Special Development Districts. . It has come to our attention that Tawn Administrators are refusing to consider rezoning as a viable option to resolve density related issues associated with the Austria Haus proposal. It has been reported that they are representing that a rezoning would constitute spot zoning. Spot zoning is similar in standing to a zoning contract in that they both considered an illegal act because they are grants of special privilege that accrues to a specific property owner. The same criticisms have been raised by other legal authorities regarding the Town of Vail's application of Special Development Districts. The degree of discretionary power and latitude assumed by Town Administrators regazd- ing their role in shaping a Special Developrnent District suggests that they no longer posses the ob- jectivity necessary to judiciously evaluate the rezoning process as a viable alternative to SDD's. Rezoning is a standard legal zoning procedure that allows zoning standards to be adjusted according to changes in historic conditions and circumstances. The fmdings and approvals granted through the public review process are applicable to those properties that share similar circumstance Post Office Box 238 Vail, Colorado 81658 Telephone: (970) 827-5680 Message/FAX: (970) 827-5856 1 East Village Homeowners Associ970-827-5856 04/21/1997 08:54:08 PM Pa3 , .EVHA/Sonnenalp Austria Haus Issues 4/21/1997 ~ Page 2 and conditions in the same zone district. The purgose of the rezoning is to bring non-confoiming im- provements more into confonnance with present day requiremenYs. The benefits conferred by a re- zoning are made available to all property owners that share similar circumstance and conditions in the same zone district. Property owners cannot be enjoined by the municipal authority from the ex- ercise of the liberalized zoning standards provided that before exercising the benefit of the liberalized zoning standards the property owner executes an agreement to rezone. The municipal authority can confer the right to rezone upon several properties however, the act of rezoning can proceed on a case (site) by case (site) basis. There is a fundamental di$'erence between spot zoning and rezoning. Spot zoning is a spe- - ' cial privilege or onerous condition applied to a specific site and is prohibited by conduct of the gov- - ernment from being applied to all other properties sharing similar conditions and circumstance in the same underlying zone district. A rezoning is the confeiring of liberalized zoning standards upon ad- jacent properties that share similar conditions and circumstances in the same underlying zone district so that the benefits aze conferred upon and equally accrue to all adjacent property owners who are I eligible, at the initiation of each property ownels, for inclusion in the new zone district. It is requested that Town Administrators provide a clear, concise, balanced and objective re- port of the distinctions between rezoning, spot zoning and a Special Development District as they are each applied to upzoning one specific property and a series of adjacent sites in an established zone districrt. It is suggested that this report be due and available for review by the Town Council and public prior to the date for fmal approval of the dual applications submitted by the Sonnenalp Aus- tria Haus.

It was a determmation of a majority ~ of the Town Council members that the proposal was an extreme departure from the underlying zone district. Additionally, the use by Town Administrators of the Special Development District (SDD) as a means to allow extreme deviations from all zoning standards in the underlying zone district (Public Accommodations) was severely criticized. See the attached copy of Councilman Rob Ford's speech delivered at the public hearing. The developer is resubmitting the proposal in manner that will mazginally reduce the degree of deviations from the underlying zone districts. GRFA and number of units have been marginally reduced. The fifth floor has been removed and the height reduced to within the zoning limit of 48 feet. Recreation and other hotel amenities have been added. There is the strong possibility that the project will be submitted both as a rezoning to a hybrid zone district, Public Accommoda.tions/One (PA/1) and as an SDD. Strong pressure from Town Administrators is being brought to bear on Council members to retain the SDD. Administrators are fighting to keep the SDD in tact in order to maintain their dominance in the development review process over both the Town Council and appli- cant. With this dominance they will most likely use the Austria Haus as another precedent in their systematic dismantling the community's density control standards. Town Administrators are opposed to rezoning the Austria Haus site to PA/1 because a re- zoning restricts the precedents from a upzoning to a very limited geographic area. Development standards in a rezorung are based upon shared conditions on adjacent properties in the same zone district. Properly applied, a rezoning allows more liberal zoning standards to be phased in by mak- ~ ing them_available at the election of adjacent properties which share similaz conditions in the same zone district. The precedent setting impacts on the neighborhood and community is further limited i_ through rezoning because a site specific hybrid zone district is created &om a more universally ap- plied underlying zone district. There is ample legal precedent nationally to underwrite the validity of the rezorung process. Unlike the SDD, rezoning removes the appeazance of a conflict of interest - on the part of government offcials because the enforcement of universally applied zoning standards does not allow density increases to be granted as special privileges on a case by case basis in ex- change for the acquiescence by the developer to onerous special conditions and fmancial exactions . imposed by the government. During the Austria Haus public hearing there was criticism of Town Administrators for hav- ing not sought the guidance of the Town Council, as to the degree of deviation from zoning stan- dards that were acceptable, prior to the administrators entering into agreements with the developers. With encouragement, there is a strong likelihood that the Council will direct Town Administrators to reseazch methods to contain further the degree to which deviativns from the underlying zoning district can be granted under a Special Development District, Councilman Paul Johnston called for a moratorium on new SDD applications until additional restrictions can be addressed The Town Council responded favorably to the Homeowners Associations criticism that the SDD was being used to buy zoning density in exchange for creating deed restricted (employee) Post Office Box 238 Vail, Colorado 81658 Telephone: (970) 827-5680 Message/PAX: (970) 827-5856 _ . . _ . _ u~ ' East Village Homeowners Associ970--827-5856 04/21/1997 08:54:08 PM p,6 • EVHA/Sonnenalp Austria FIaus Issues: 4/20/1997 Page 2 ~ : housing and providing for streetscape improvements. Apart from the SDD issue, the Council di- rected Town Administrators to prepaze a proposal that would require deed restricted employee hous- ing to be universally app(ied to alt new commercial developments. The Association contmues to press for a similaz universa(ly applied provision that would require streetscape improvemerrts to be constructed on adjacent public right-of-way in conjunction with new commercial developrnent ; With these provisions in effect, there would be diminished incentive and less of a rational for Town Administrators to use Special Development Districts to benefit a select few developers under the banner of economic development through redevelopment. In the debate over fhe special privi- lege granted by SDD's, the Association advoc:ates that the benefit of economic development, if it is to - be derived through the manipulation of the zoning process, must be equally applied and shared by all similar classes of property owners. I . ' East Village Homeowners Associ970-827-5856 , 04/21/1997 08:54008 PM Pe7 ~ Speech Delivered by TOV Counci/man Rob Ford: Sonnenalp Austria Haus Public Hearing April 15, 1997 I would like to thantc Gordon for his excellent prescntation. As has been stated many times, his design for the Austria Haus eedeve(opment is exceptional. However, my concem with fhis development remains the overpowering mass and bulk of tfiis building in relation to its site. This building rernains at a 91% increase in rnass over what is allowed by the underlying zoning. Never in the history of Vail, has any previous Town Council, since our present zoning ordinance was adopted, approved a building which departs so dramatically &om the underlying zoning on the site. Approval of this project in its radical change in the future direction of Vail. A chan e to si ~eAt configuration will represent a g gnificant uPzoning of our village cores. Sitece our last discussion of this project just two weeks ago, I have been asked many times how our zoiung ordinance can be so ilaerantly disregarded. I would therefore like to take a minute to outline for everyone how . ttus project has received town staff approval tivhile bzistg su far out of corrapliance with our aoning ordinance. If . the average tpwn cipzen has to compJy with our zoning ordinance, why doesn'i this developer? 1'he tool being used hece iS called a speciul development district, SDD for short. In talking with a few individuals qvho wrote our origiata] zoning ordinance, the SDD was drafted ro correspond to the county zoning . Pr'°usion ea1led $ PUD, or planned unit development. Rottt of these provisions were included in the ordinance to deal with mutti buildings or muEa site developments. Eagle Vail and Singletree were PUDs. The Fa]lridge project with its surrou,nding town horttes, the Yorthwoods and the Va61 village Irm projecis are a11 original gDDs In fact these projects weee downzoned using the SDD. Such downzon;ng was a stated goal in the originai SDD ordinaace. The SDD allows fortremendous latitudes on the part of the develoger and the town to negotiate a11 aspects of the projects siae, configuration, and exactions paid, irrespective of all previous plans or zoning. The latitudes allowed are obviously tremendous and thus the SDD can easi]y hc abused. Several yzars ago the SDI) in practiee was adapted to app[y to the development of iadividual buildings. Maay successful projects using t}ris SI)D have been developed to date. Previousty the community and the Towu Council negotiated densiry increaczs and setback allovwances in order to make the projects financially and aesthetically feasible. 7'hese projects include the Clgistiania Lodge H,hich was granted a densiry increase of apptoximate(y 18%. The Golden Peak buildin& at the head ofBridge St., which was granted an increase of Zg% qnd, finally the Vai! rlth{etic Club which mereased by 33%_ However, a11 previous councils undcrstood the dangerous latiiudes of the SDD if strong consideration was not given to the underlying zoniuig on the site. Rod Slifer, Tom Stainberg, Merv L,aPin, and Kent Rose can verify that such consideraDon to the underl over the past 10 years. in the case of the Austria Haus rede e]oZ~~g is what kept this development tool in check z~g b~n severed resulteng is a building which is 91% larger ina~nasss~~ ~e derly ~gt o~g would~ allow. Beyieve it or not; tlvs is lega] under the SDD tool, but has not baeri done todate to this degree by any previous council. Again when we last considered this projeck a hos8 of business intzrests spoke ouY in favor of the project Proccedmg in its present form.

This council maybe guilty of giving false signals to our staff and the community lfiat we wam preparEd to make a radical departure from the stand of previous councils and support massive upzoning of our village cores. For th" I apologize. Vtany of us are new at our jobs here and have faz less experience in SDD development than the applicant. Maary of the new members recently elected to this council, myself inctuded, have never been invoived u+ith an SDD from start to finish before. However, I cun't state how imporf.ant it is for tfus council to support past councils and to hold the line on such upzoning.

While it may seem that vve would be unaffected by, and therefore not particularly interested in the outcome, I want you to know how irnportant the precedent- setting nature of approval vvould have been. VVe heartily support the udea of another successfui Sonnenalp Austraahaus. But re-develop and over-develop are terribly different. Over development runs the risk of destroying the character of Vail Village and turning avvay the people to whorn it needs to appeal- "kiHing the goose that 1aid the goBden egg°°. Apparentiy the Council now has a choice between ara SDD or re- zonBng $o gran$ approval so that the applicant may proceed with a worthy project. (I assume the Fasslers could not accept a building wh6ch simply compVies with aVl current zoning regulations??) I would hope that you will favorably consider the rezoning option and not the SDD. If "re-zoning°" is properly applied- un(ike "spot-zonirag°`_ it would affect only neighboring properties, which in this case would be Motantain hdaus and the i/ail Athletic Club. An SDD would dismanfi@e density controls provirJed by zoning anc9 grant a special privalege to $he developer which is unavailable to the average ci$uzen.

Vail, CO 81659 Dear Peter: As you are aware, the Town of Vail has been working to reconstruct the Seibert Circle area of Vail Village. The Town's originai intention included the reconstruction of the plaza to serve as a public gathering place, and installation of public art. Finally, this project was to be a tribute to you and your vision of Vail. Following a public competition, the AIPP Board selected Jesus Bautista Moroles for this work and on April 1st recommended this artist to the Town Council. Subsequent to the selection decision, you and several other members of the community expressed grave concerns regarding the appropriateness of this medium (red granite), and the style of Mr. Nloroles' work. During our discussions you expressed the desire to explore the feasibility of using another artist, whose work would be more representational for this art piece. The purpose of this letter is to outline the procedures which would be used should we move forward with another artist and/or approach. If we abandon the AIPP sanctioned approach, a new effort would be treated similarly to privately sponsored art work proposed for a publicly owned site. The submittal requirements are as follows: 1) A written description of the proposal including background information on the artist and details on the specific proposed artwork (material, color, media, dimensions and supporting structure.) 2) A photograph, model, or drawing of the proposed artwork. 3) Any conditions of the gift. 4) A site plan addressing landscaping, seating, lighting and signage. 5) iyaintenance requirements for the artwork. The proposal will be revievued by appropriate TOV departments to determine impact on public safety, vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow, and on operational functions of the Town (snow removal, street maintenance, traffic control, etc.) Once it has been determined the proposed art does not adversely impact public safety or impede Touvn operations, the proposal will be forwarded to the AIPP Board for their review. Following the AIPP review, the proposal is fonivarded to the Vail Town Council for a final decision. R6CYCLEDPAPER As we discussed at Ms. Hill's home, we are making arrangements to bring Mr. Moroles to Vail to meet with you, the Town Council and others interested in this project. The purpose of these meetings will be to provide you and others an opportunity to visit with Mr. Moroles and for Mr. Moroles to gain a better understanding of our community's values and desires. This visit will also provide an opportunity to determine if Mr. Moroles can (and is willing) to develap other designs that will be acceptable to you, the Village Merchants and property owners, the Vail Town Council and others interested in , this effort. If it is determined this collaboration is not possible, the Town will formafly terminate this approach to the project. It is my understanding you have coniacted severaf artists to prepare sketches for an art piece in this area. If, following the meetings with Mr. Moroles, we terminate this effort, the Council, following the procedures outlined previously would consider one of the proposals being prepared by these artists. As we have discussed, we would hope to have these proposals within ninety days. This would allow this effort to proceed in order to be completed by the World Alpine Ski Championships. Peter, I am personally committed to working with you and others to complete a project at Seibert Circle. To that extent, I will make available all data which may be pertinent in pursuing more representational designs. I am also available to meet with you and others you designate to complete this effort. However, I cannot at this time commit any funding for this effort. Additional funding must be appropriated by the Council. I hope this gives you some indication of the procedures which would be employed to develop a design and make a decisian to move forward on this effort. It is important to understand that we must work together in order to bring this project to fruition. It is also important to understand that while the Council hopes to develop this project in a manner that is acceptable to you and others interested in this project, the final decision on the, design of this area and selection of the art piece rests solely with the Council. Thank you for your time. Please feel free to give me a call at 479-2105 if you have questions or need additional information, or wish to discuss this matter in more detail. Sincerely, Robert W.
