_ (6-1 Bishop opposed) an appeal of an administrative decision regarding
the applicant's proposal; finding that, -
"A private and public unstructured (surFace) off-street vehicle
parking is a different land use than private and public structured
(underground/enclosed) off-street vehicle parking."

development regulations prescribed in the Niunicipal Code, or a change
of non-conforming use must be approved by the Vail Town Council.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review report
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: At approximately 11:30 p.m. on
Wednesday, March 26, a large piece of the rock face above the Booth
Falls Condominiums broke off and fell into the valley below. Several
boulders from this rockfall hit units 14, 15, 16 at the Booth Falls
Condominiums. This area is identified in a High. Rockfall hazard area on
. the Town of Vail's geologic hazard maps. Through a special improvement district, a berm was constructed in 1990 which protects the
homes to the southeast of the Booth Fall Condominiums. The berm does
not protect the Booth Falls Condominiums because it could not be
extended further to the northwest because of a Wilderness Area
Boundary. The State Geological Survey has prepared a brief report on
the risk to the Booth Fall condominiums and provided several
suggestions on how to reduce the risk of property and bodily injury from
rock fall. This report will be presented to the Council at the May 6th
Council Meeting. Subsequent discussions will be needed with the
homeowners association, staff, and the Town Council to determine what,
if any, specific action can be taken to mitigate this hazard.
