TO OUR NEW EMPLOYEE HOUSING RESIDENTS Keystone has developed a housing program with affordability, comfort, and convenience in mind. Our goal is to make your housing part of an overall positive experience at Keystone. To achieve our goal, we need your help. As a resident, your contribution to our overall SENSE OF COMMUNITY is vital. This summary does not cover all the rules, and Keystone reserves the right to add, delete, or change Housing policies and procedures at any time without notice. We will gladly supply you with any specific information you may need regarding your stay with us. As a general rule, if a resident's actions are based on respect for others and respect for the property and environment, those actions will be not only acceptable but encouraged. Please take the time to review this book. Give us the opportunity to answer any questions or concerns you may have. WELCOME TO THE KEYSTONE EMPLOYEE HOUSING COMMUNITY! COMMUNITY LIVING Keystone Employee Housing is a shared living egperience, which makes your housing more affordable. Shared living is a great way to meet new people and make new friends, but we realize it can cause some problems. If you have a conflict with your roommate, let us know so we can help find a solution. b~ For a positive experience for every one, we need your support and cooperation to provide these rights: 1) Sleep without undue disturbance from noise, guests of a roommate, etc. 2) The egpectation that a roommate and/or other residents will respect one's personal belongings. 3) A clean environment in which to live. 4) Free access to one's room and facilities without pressure from a roommate or others. If you have any problems related to these rights, please come to the Housing office. 2 RESIDENT RESPONSIBILITY All the residents of a unit are responsible for what goes on within their unit. Residents are also responsible for the actions of their guests or visitors. Any damage or illegal activity that occurs in a unit for which a specific individual does not take responsibility will be considered the responsibility of all residents of that unit. RENTER'S INSURANCE As in any rental property, renter's insurance is recommended to protect your belongings against fire, flood, theft, etc. Keystone Employee Housing accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to your property. KEYSTONE EMPLOYEE HOUSING On-Property Housing: Sunriae, Sagebrush, and Tenderfoot Off Property Housing: Privately owned condominiums and homes located throughout Summit County and leased by Keystone. Please note that some differences in rules and regulations may exist depending on the type of housing. 3 MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS On-Property All maintenance problems must be reported as soon as possible. Residents may call the Housing Office at 468-4374 or drop by to report a problem. An emergency night crew can be reached after 3:30 p.m. by calling 389-1049, or by calling the resort operator. Off-Property Maintenance problems off property may require Housing Management to get in touch with the owner or property manager of that unit. These problems sometimes require longer repair time as Keystone may be required to obtain owner authorization. If a problem exists in the common areas, (e.g. hall lights out, elevators not working), contact the manager of the complex. If the area in which you live is not included in the following list, please call Housing for assistance.

PARKING Parking is in short supply at Keystone and throughout Summit County. To provide sufficient parking for those who need it, all vehicles belonging to residents and their guests must be registered with the Employee Housing office. To register your vehicle, you must bring your valid automobile registration and a valid government issue photo ID. Any vehicle not registered will be ticketed and possibly towed away at the owner's egpense. Once registered, you will receive a Keystone Housing Parking Pass.

If you do not move your vehicle Employee Housing may have no alternative but to tow it at your egpense. BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS Notice to Contact Any resident whose behavior violates Housing rules will either receive a warning or a"Notice to Contact" the Housing Office. Copies of all notices may be forwarded to supervisors so they are aware of their employees' behavior in Housing.

If illegal substances are found in any unit, all residents of that unit will be subject to eviction from Housing. Remember that the toleration of illegal behauior is considered by the Company to be equal to the behavior itself. Alcoholic Beverages The following is a list of guidelines pertaining to the use of alcohol in Employee Housing: 1. The legal drinking age in Colorado is 21. If you are 21 or older you may possess and consume alcoholic beverages in Employee Housing. Underage drinking is a violation of State law and will not be tolerated. 2.

Deductions, either over or under the correct amount, must be handled through the Housing office. 12 4. You are financially responsible for all damage that happens to your unit and must recognize that being away while the damage occurs does not relieve you from your portion of the responsibility. 5. All tenants are responsible for damage done to the common areas of their respective buildings. This is done to give every tenant a personal reason for reporting anyone seen vandalizing the property. 6. If you are a resident of Sagebrush Housing, the use of hot plates, propane stoves, or any other exposed heating appliance is absolutely forbidden. The use of these devices is against Colorado building and fire codes. Any of these heating or cooking devices found in your Sagebrush unit will be immediately confiscated.

River Run at Keystone is a master-planned mountain base resort development currently under construction. It is one of two base portals in the Keystone resort. In 1997, River Run won a Gold Nugget Grand Award, which honors the best community designs and plans in the Western United States and the Pacific Rim. The judges based their decision on authenticity, interest, heritage, character, attention to planning and design detail. Judges' comments included the statement: "The site plan for this resort provides outstanding connectivity and balance to all areas of the village. Excellent thought was given to pedestrian and vehicular circulation. The resort can continue to expand while remaining user friendly. Also important was the thought that went into planning the village design for year-round, all season enjoyment." • WHY TOUR RIVER RUN? HOW IS THIS TOUR RELEVENT TO L10NSHEAD? The purpose of our tour of River Run is to experience what an award-winning site plan looks like once constructed and how it feels to stand in the heart of it. It is an opportunity to experience what urban design principles mean in reality. The tour participants will have the chance to judge, each from his or her own experience of the place, whether or not River Run has a great.serrse of place and specific,&.ly, what works well and what elements are not as effective in creating a great place for pedestrians. We then can apply that experience to concepts being discussed in the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan process. WHAT SHOULD WE BE LOOKING FORJAT ON THE TOUR? - - - Some specific elements to observe and "try on for size" include: * Pedestrian flow from the arrival point(s) to the mountain do you have a natural sense of where to go? Are you "camed along", or is it confusing? * Views of the mountain from the arrival point(s) are you drawn in? * Street orientation to the mountain is there a connection between where you stand and the mountain above? * Building heights, setbacks and street width - how do those factors combine to create a"feel" from the pedestrian ways? * Size and configuration of public plazas are they inviting? * Pass throughs do they make you want to explore what is on the other side? * Signage is it informative but subtle? Page 1 of 2 What else strikes you about the place as you approach? As you depart? What sticks in your mind? Do yotr waftt to returir to that place? Why or why not? DON'T GET TOO DISTRACTED BY: * the architectural style ("Colorado heritage", aka mining, ranching and railroading) * the fact that River Run still is under construction * the fact that Intrawest had a"clean slate" for its site planning and construction-- and no gradient changes vs. our situation involving the redevelopment of an existing base - village with significant grade changes in Lionshead FINAL WORDS OF ADVICE FOR TOUR-GOERS: Relax ancl enjoy! Don't thitik about it too much. Instead, experience it. Try Riiver Run on for size, and gauge how it feels to you to be in that place. Focus on what elements you would like to see and not see in Lionshead in the years to come. That :s the reason for the tour.

Many of you have complimented the work of our consultant, MK Centennial Engineering, for its thorough research and realistic approach to the problems. We appreciate that feedback. We also want to personally thank and acknowledge participants such as Peter Franke and Ron Riley, who have offered concessions on behalf of their restaurants to explore doing business differently, such as cutting down on the number of deliveries they receive each week. We believe breakthroughs such as these are significant in our collective ability to make some headway on this issue. A final list of recommended short-term solutions will be presented to the Vail Town Council at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 25 in the Council Chambers. At that time, Council will be asked to approve or modify this list for immediate implementation. A list of the recommendations are attached. I hope you'll join us for this final discussion of short-term improvements Tuesday. If you're unable to attend, but have an opinion on the matter, feel free to fax your comments to me or the Vail Town Council at 479-2157. Or, call me at 479-2105. Following Tuesday's discussion, Centennial will begin its work on long-term solutions. We'll keep you posted on the next round of discussions. Thanks again for your continued participation. Sincerely, TOWN OF VAIL ~ Bob McLaurin Town Manager Enc. cc: Vail Town Council C~ RECYCLEDPAPER Vail Villaeo Loaditio & Delivery Recommended Short-term Solutions • Create an informational brochure of existing loading and delivery practices for all people who utilize the Vail Village - give Check Point Charlie personnel informational maps they can hand out to people directing them to the correct loading and delivery areas or the parking structure. The brochure will contain the overall guidelines for the policy decisions of the Town Council. Policy decisions that need to be decided are: Priorities - trucks or cars Officers role - inform, enforce Hours when Check Point Charlie should be maned Ticketing policy Agree to or modify the current loading & delivery policies Existing Policies: • See attached map for exact parking areas and times • There are no restrictions on how early trucks are permitted in the Village given they park in designated areas to load and unload • All traffic must be off of Bridge Street by 8:30am • All traffic, except courier services, must be off of Gore Creek Drive (between Willow Bridge Road and Bridge Street) by 11:30am • Courier Delivery Vehicles are permitted in Vail Village until 6pm - parked in designated areas • Garbage trucks are permitted in the Village between 7am and 9am • Check Point Charlie is manned from 8am until 5pm during the peak season • After 11:30 Large trucks (36' or more) are permitted to park on Willow _ Bridge Road and Gore Creek Drive north of P3&J until 12pm • Limited access at Hanson Ranch Road - barricade Hanson Ranch road at Vail Village Drive between the hours of 8-9am and 3-4pm to limit people from using Hanson Ranch r.oad as a skier drop-off and pick-up. This option will involve having a barricade placed across Hanson Ranch road - the barricade will not block the entrance to the roadway entirely, this will permit access to guests who are allowed to park in the P-3&J lot. The barricade will be clearly marked directing other traffic (skiers etc.) to the appropriate locations, Gold Peak skier drop-off or Check Point Charlie. There will need to be a Code Enforcement Officer or Code Security Officer available to police the area and direct those who are not permitted to park there to the correct locations.* "There may not be adequate personnel available for this task, and concerns have been raised about large back-ups of vehicles. Due to these concerns it is proposed that this solution be tested during a two week trial period before it is implemented for the entire ski season. • Use Variable Message Signs (VMS) at key locations directing skiers to the parking structures, and informing them where appropriate skier drop-offs are located. Additional - VMS signs to get the attention of out-of -town guests and direct them clearly to the appropriate parking locations. • Change the parking ticket structure. Have a ticketing structure that will penalize the repeat offender and not affect the guests of the Village. The first three parking tickets a person receives will be the standard $26, the fourth and all subsequent tickets will be $100 or more.** "*Town of Vail Council does have the authority to increase the parking fines in the Village. Additional solutions that will also be undertaken in the short-term: To begin immediately on a voluntary basis: •Work with individual restaurants that are not accepting early deliveries and try to work out a way for them to take early (prior to 11:30) deliveries and get the trucks out of the Village. . , ~ Recommend that all shops, distributors, and restaurants in the Village attempt to limit their weekend deliveries. • Have trucking companies to alter their routes into and out of Vail Village to more evenly distribute the truck traffic on the roadways into and out of the Village. • Work with garbage companies (BFI and Honeywagon) to reduce Vail Village pick-up times to between 8am-9am. Continue to talk to the Vail Village merchants, restaurants, and residences to enhance the existing system. • Talk to trucking companies and try to get trucks in and out of Vail Village as quickly as possible - this may mean changing routes slightly etc. • Encourage all Vail Village shops and restaurants to maintain enough storage for more than one days worth of deliveries. , ExiSting Vail Village DiStribution and Loading ZoneS LEGEND: x No Pazking Cars and Small Trucks (up to 18'.)

Concemed parties are advised to attend the presentation to voice their positions regarding the proposed changes to the procedures. At the Town Council's work session on Tuesday, November 18, 1997, the consulting engi- neering firm, responsible for drafting proposed changes to the loading and delivery procedures, made their preliminary recommendations. See attachment 91. A newspaper account from the Vail Daily of the Town Council's reaction to the report is attached. See attachment #2. The draft recommendations were proposed by the consultant engineers after conducting five public meetings with the primary interest groups concerned with the truck loading and deliv- ery issue. The Homeowners Associahon panccipated in all but one of the meetings. Excerpts of inforniation provided at these meetings by the consultant engineers can be found in attachment #3. The information summarizes the present loading and delivery schedule as well as loading zones and traffic volume by type of vehicle as measured at Check Point Charlie. Also, included are suggestions based upon research conducted by the consulting engineering firm. Additional information was provided by the consultants that reported the findings of a ran- dom survey regarding the truck parking issue of consumers and from a community wide survey of residents and property owners. The surveys indicated that there was general satisfaction with the present condition. Concurrence with these levels of satisfaction was not generally echoed in the public meetings. The consulta.nts conducted a survey of noise leveis from various activities associated with truck deliveries. These activities produced noise level in a range from 57 to 74 decibels. The Town of Vail's noise control ordinance has a maximum limit of 65 decibels during the daytime and 55 decibels during the evening hours. At a recent meeting with the consulting en&ineer, the Homeowners Associations and repre- sentatives of condominium associations the followmg changes were recommended to be included in the winter operating procedures. These proposals were not included in the consulting engineers recommendations. The Homeowners Association will request that the Town Council to include the following points in the truck loading and delivery polices and procedures. 1. Allow only passenger cars and small trucks/vans, less than 19 feet in length, to park in loading zones adjacent to the Christiania Parking Lot, Riva Ridge North, Summers Lodge and the Internahonal Bridge. These areas are in residential zone districts lying outside the boundaries of Commercial Core I. Post Office Box 238 Vail, Colorado 81658 Telephone: (970) 827-5680 Message/FAX: (970) 827-5856 x A EVHA BOD/JFL: Vail Village Truck Loading Recommendations to the Town Council 11/21/1997 2. In order to reduce the burden on any one of the residential neighborhoods that surround Commercial Core One, equally disperse arrivmg and departing truck traffic on the three main CCI access routes, Vail Road, International Bridge Road, and Hanson Ranch Road/Gore Creek Drive. 3. Allow Class 5 and larger trucks access to make deliveries within CCI during regular delivery hours on Hanson Ranch Road in the area of Bridge Street. 4. Parking for Class 5 and larger truck making deliveries after regularly scheduled load- ing and delivery hours must occur from the Frontage Road adjacent to the Vail Village Trans- portation Center. No late deliveries from Class 5 or larger trucks can be staged from loading zones in surrounding residential neighborhoods on the periphery of CCI such as at the Mill Creek Court Building, Mountain Haus, Village Center, Swiss Haus or the Christiania Lodge. 5. Under special weather conditions CCI delivery hours can be extended. In special cir- cumstances late deliveries can be made by large trucks directly to the building in Commercial Core I receiving a shipment. 6. Vail Associates should be requested to make space available to large UPS delivery ve- hicles in the area South of the Lodge of Vail, during the holiday season. 7. During peak capacity days, locate traffic controlled personnel at Vail Valley Drive and Hanson Ranch Road to direct skier drop-off and pick-up traffic to the new Golden Peak Skier Drop-Off and Pick-Up Parking Lot. Additionally, increase enforcement of the prohibition against Skier Drop-Off and Pick-Up on Mill Creek Circle. 8. No parking areas should be established at the entrances to businesses where customer access is blocked or hindered during large iruck delivery. hours. 9. Increase enforcement. Due to personnel shortages and conflicts over salary levels, in- crease the level of enforcement in the affected area by infilling shortfalls in the numbers of re- quired Code Enforcement Officers (CSO) personnel with police officers during peak traffic hours. Summary: The short term recommendations made by the consulting engineers to the Town Council for the most part appear to be practical except for the recommendation to "bairicade" Hanson Ranch Road at Vail Valley Drive during peak traffic in the morning and afternoon. This proposal would require all East Village residential traffic to enter through Check Point Charlie. This m- crease in vehicular traffic would increase safety risks by commingling vehicular traffic during times of peak pedestrian circulation along the length of Gore Creek Drive in Commercial Core I. At the meetings held by the consulting engineers there was a consensus that the efficien- cies of the close-in/fast delivery scheme for the 1996-97 winter season initiated by the Homeown- ers Association reduced the duration of the loading and delivery time for large trucks. Further, it appears that with the cooperation from the bars and restaurants additional reductions can be achieved in the amount of time large trucks reyuire access to CCI. Please advise if there are additional proposals or concerns that should be presented to the Town Council. cc: Town of Vail Town Council 2 TOWN OF VAIL Office of the Town Manager ORLD CHAMINSHIPS P O 75 South Frontage Road vail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2105/Fax 970-479-2157 0 0 R A ' 0 TM MEMOR.ANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Robert W.

Box 96090 ~._.t Agriculture Washington, DC 20090-6090 File Code: 3400 Date: November 07, 1997 Honorable Robert W. Armour Mayor, Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Mayor Armour: Thank you for your letter of October 1997, to Chief Bcsbeck, expressing concern about the mountain pine beetle problem in the Vail area. I am responding on the Chief's behalf as Director of Forest Health Protection. The mountain pine beetle is a native insect that co-evolved with lodgepole pine. Acting in concert with fire, this beetle plays an important role in regenerating old, crowded lodgepole pine stands. These older stands dominate the lodgepole pine landscape in the Vail Valley Assessment Area, so beetle epidemics in these stands are inevitable. There have been many mountain pine beetle outbreaks in the forests in and around the White Mountain National Forest. During the last outbreak, the USDA Forest Service, Colorado State Forest Service, Summit and Eagle Counties, local communities, and private landowners cooperated in a large program aimed at reducing mountain pine beetle damage. This effort lasted from 1982 to 1985 when beetle populations collapsed. Unfortunately, a 1996 Forest Service analysis concluded that "...past management activities have not minimized losses to mountain pine beetle." We agree that mountain pine beetle epidemics can result in serious impacts to forest resources and eventually increase the risk of catastrophic wildfire. We will give serious consideration to funding an effective, integrated effort to deal with mountain pine beetle effects and forest conditions that are deemed undesirable. tn order to ensure a reasonable chance of success for such a costly program, a long-term, collaborative commitment by all parties is essential; this commitment must continue even after the current beetle outbreak subsides. Thanks again for your letter. We look forward to working with you in the future. Sincerely, ~ L,ANN M.

MEDIA ADVISORY November 19, 1997 Contact: Suzanne Silverthorn, 479-2115 Community tnformation Office VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR NOVEMBER 18 Work Session Briefs Council Members Present: Armour, Ford, Jewett, Johnston Kurz, Navas --Joint Work Session with County Commissioners During an hour-long joint meeting between Councilmembers and County Commissioners Johnnette Phillips and Bud Gates, topics included: gravel pits, Adam's Rib, Vail Valley Centre, regional marketing, land use regulations, inclusionary zoning (affordable housing), Berry Creek Fifth, and the distribution of property taxes. In particular, participants discussed the future of the Berry Creek Fifth property. At one point Councilman Michael Jewett asked the Commissioners if they'd be interested in selling the county's ownership percentage to the Town of Vail. Phillips said yes, while Gates (who has advocated open space/recreational uses for the property) said it would depend on the intent of the land's use. As for inclusionary zoning, both Gates and Phillips said they had concerns about the legality of such legislation due to private development rights under state law. That prompted a challenge from Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners Association. Lamont said the Commissioners should get a legal opinion on the so-called "takings" matter rather than use the issue as a"screen to hide behind." Citing the region's social and morale responsibility, he also suggested creation of a housing trust fund that would pool money and land from the county, municipalities and other entities. --Loading & Delivery Update During an update on loading and delivery by representatives from the consulting firm Centennial Engineering, Councifinembers turned their frustration into optimism after hearing a pledge from Ron Riley to explore ways to reduce the number of deliveries his three establishments receive during the week. Riley said he favored "chipping away" at additional improvements, which includes the possibility of eliminating or modifying Saturday deliveries. Riley said the town should press hard for answers from those who insist upon Saturday deliveries. He also suggested requiring delivery drivers to add a second person to help speed up the time it takes to unload. Eartier, Councilmembers had expressed frustration with the apparent lack of give-and-take by those impacted by the problem. But Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners Association, said the recent meetings had been productive in opening up the dialogue for adjustments and modifications. Specifically, Lamont said his group favors keeping the delivery trucks out of the residential areas, along with improved enforcement by the town. Town Manager Bob McLaurin (more) C~ RECYCLEDPAPER H~ TOV Council Highlights/Add 1 spoke of the need to increase staffing at Checkpoint Charlie. At the same time, he expressed the town's difficulty in filling those positions. Councilman Ludwig Kurz noted increased satisfaction with the current management system within the past year. He said additional improvements would keep the issue moving in the right direction. Ultimately, Kurz said a final solution witl involve an infrastructure improvement. Michael Jewett suggested passage of a Council resotution (rather than an ordinance mandate) indicating a desire by the community to eliminate Saturday deliveries. The Council will revisit the issue at next Tuesday's work session when it will be asked to review, then modify or approve a list of recommended actions for the management of loading and delivery during the 1997-98 ski season. The consultanYs work will then shift to analysis of long-term solutions. For more information, contact Larry Grafel, public works/transportation director, at 479-2173. --1997 Interim Financial Report The Council reviewed an interim financial report presented by Steve Thompson, finance director. Thompson said the town continues to project a 5.5 percent increase in sales tax for 1997 over last year's collections. Through September, sales tax is 6.2 percent above the previous year. Thompson said the town will make its estimate if it averages an increase of 3.2 percent for the balance of the year. Also, Thompson said a supplementation appropriation of $323,916 will be needed before year's end to fund unanticipated expenditures, as well as other adjustments. The adjustments will leave an estimated $4.2 million in general fund balance. ThaYs about $400,000 more than the fund was estimated to be when the 1997 general fund budget was adopted. For additional information, contact Thompson at 479-2116. --Information Update After receiving congratulations from the Council on his promotion to senior planner, George Ruther briefed the Council regarding compliance issues associated with work underway by the Vail Alpine Gardens. To help expedite the organization's request to begin work on its final garden in Ford Park yet this fall, Ruther said the town agreed to issue a grading permit prior to approval of the final plan. Since then, Ruther said the organization has failed to comply with its previous agreements and commitments regarding construction of an ADA ramp within the gardens. Construction of the ramp now spills out into other lease areas, Ruther said, further complicating matters. Council members agreed that red tagging the project would be an appropriate action if the Foundation continues to be unresponsive to the previous commitments. Councilmembers asked to receive copies of all future correspondence on the matter. For more information, contact Ruther at 479-2145. Next, Councilmembers learned of scheduling adjustments offered by the Vail Recreation District that will provide enough soccer fields--in Vail--to accommodate three-fourths of the 3-on-3 Triple Crown Soccer Tournament players this summer. The tournament is being brought to Vail through sponsorship dollars provided by the town. The Council expressed its thanks to the VRD for its scheduling assistance. Councilmembers were asked to mark their calendars for the next "community mixer" scheduled for 5:15 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9 at the Dancing Bear. The event, sponsored by the Vail Tomorrow Building Community Team, is intended to informally increase communication--one-on- one--between Vail's elected officials and members of the.community.

Sybill Navas asked if Councilmembers had read about the possibility of reintroducing the lynx to the area. Paul Johnston thanked Corbin Daugherty for his interest and presence at Council meetings throughout his candidacy. Bob Armour thanked Vail Associates and the Lionshead Merchants Association for sponsorship of last week's candidates forum. He also reminded Councilmembers of a reception for the new hospital director. --Town Manager's Report Town Manager Bob McLaurin updated the Council on the status of the process being used to enable the Vacation Channel to receive a channel position on the TCI Cablevision system (replacing the Animal Planet channel). The change will take place following a 30-day notification to subscribers. Evening Session Briefs Council Members Present: Armour, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Kurz, Navas --Citizen Participation Cathie Douglas, a resident on West Meadow Drive, asked for the addition and or replacement of stop signs, speed signs and no outlet signs along the road. Next, Mark Servantas asked for an update regarding a previous request to extend the 2 a.m. late night bus. Town Manager Bob McLaurin said cost estimates would be available within the next week for review. Servantas said the extra service was needed for employees who clean-up when the bars close at 2 a.m. Oftentimes, Servantas said he works until 2:45 a.m. Emily Kloser, who lives on Garmish in West Vail, asked for consideration of a bus stop at the intersection of Arosa and Chamonix Lane. She presented the Council with 25 petition signatures. Town Manager Bob McLaurin agreed to review the request, which had been denied previously due to the steepness of Chamonix Lane. Kloser pointed out that providing bus service along Lionsridge Loop is just as steep. --Town Manager's Report In his Town Manager's Report, Bob McLaurin noted the storm sewer work at Checkpoint Charlie had been wrapped up for the season.

As 21 year awners of a unit in Lifthause Lodge and an annual visitor to Vail, we believe the proposed design doeg littye to contribute to the goal of providing a visually attractive facal point for i.,ionshead. In particular, we are opposed to the height o# the proposed structure. It will be substantially higher than the surrounding structures and thus will detract from the unity and cohesiveness of the Lionshead Towri Center. By obstructing the views froYn Lifthouse and other structures, as well as failing to provide a visually integrating architectural elemerit, it will deiract from, nat enhance the Lionshead core. One of the design challenges in Lionshead iS the need for a unifying . cohesiveness - azchitecturally and visually. A retail/hotel cornplex that ignores this challenge, and ic? fact runs counter to it, will further impair the efforts over the years to make Lionshead an attractive, inviting center. It certainly wouldn't be allowed in Vail Village. The height controls in the Village are in fact one of the factors which contribute tp its charm, intimacy, and popularity. If Vait Associates is permitted to go ahead with the plan as proposed, then evety structure in Lionshead should be allowed to make any architectural changes and modifiications it wishes because there will be no unifying scheme. Thank you for the opportuniry to comment. Sincerely, Chris & Kelly XC : CdcU~u,Q, ~ LARSEN & KOVACEVICH, P.C. '4 Counselors at Law vlil'Y~.'~N'L • 953 S.

Please respond to the above address with dates which are available to one member of your council or board as requested. Thank you for your cooperation. Very truly yours, LARSEN & KOVACEVICH, P.C. ill E. Kovacevich ~ ~ E THE CASE FOR CREATING EAGLE COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS Eagle County is one of Colorado's and the nation's faster growing counties. Its estimated population at the beginning of 1996 was 29,400 - up 34 percent since 1990 and 121 percent since 1980. More than 85 percent of these residents live along or near the I-70 corridor between Vail and Gypsum. More than 90 percent of the county's growth has been in this corridor. The Eagie County government, seven town governments, and several special districts provide services to these residents. As the I-70 corridor population has increased over the last two decades, so has the interdependence of these communities. We live in one town or unincorporated community, work in a second, and shop in a third. Many of our problems - ar]"ordable housing, transportation, economic opportunity, environmental quality - are common to most or a11 jurisdictions in the region. Some oz these problems cannot be solved town by town. Most should be addressed more efficiently and effectively on a regional basis. In recent years, we have had one notable success in addressing a problem regionally - the passage of a sales tax increase to fund a regional transportation authority. On a smaller scale, multi-jurisdictional support for a regional tourism mGrketing program in the non-ski months has demonstrated the value or regional cooperation. The successful regional transportation initiative was spawned by a group of public and private sector leaders who have met regularly to explore solutions to regional problems under the aegis of the Eagle Valley Leadership Coalition. While this is a qood forum for creating public-private partnerships in support of regional solutions, it has neither the structure nor the authority to negotiate intergovernmental agreements needed to implement many of these solutions. And our most recent success was bringing together our leaders to begin discussion of housing. But we need a more formal arena to resolve our regional problems. In other parts oi the state and nation, local and county governments have created an association of governments to facilitate discussion among interdependent jurisdictions and to provide a forum for negotiation of aqreements. There is a multi-county organization in this ~ part of the state that encourages such dialogue on issues that cross county lines. At present, we have no association of governments to perform these functions on regional issues or special concerns to j,ust Eagle County residents. The Eagle County Leadership Coalition and Vail Tomorrow " Regional Cooperation Committee call on all general and special purpose governments in the region to officially endorse the rebirth of an "Association of Governments" that will actively seek regional solutions to regional problems. As a first step toward this end, the Coalition and Vail Tomorrow will convene a special meeting of elected officials from all governmental entities to form a Valley Association of Governments and to designate a spokesperson to present to the public those issues the group wisnes to tackle iirst. If most or all governments endorse the recreation of an Association of Governments, the Coalition and Vail Tomorrow stand ready to support this initiative in any way our elected officials wish. It is our purpose to provide a safe rorum for reaching consensus on difficult issues. It is critical to continue the dialogue, to deliberate, to compromise and to reach consensus on how to proceed on the issues selected. The Coalition and Vail Tomorrow will host a meeting at tne Avon Library where each government is represented by one electe.d ofricial and an alternate in December or January. Please RSVP to the Jill E. Kovacevich at 476-8711 or fax your response to Jill at 476-8672 as to your availability. The agenda will begin with what issues can we agree on that are conducive to regional solutions, such as regional fire protection, emergency commur_ications, pine beetles, mail service. If you have other agenda items please advise by return iax. Thank you for your support. XG - PECEIVED NO. V ~9q Engineering Department Eagle Counry~ u lai~? (970) 328-8760 P.O.

McLaurin, Town Manager Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Bob: Just wanted to drop you a short note and let you know the outcome of the meeting held yesterday between our county commissioners and Doug Aden, the newly appointed Transportation Commissioner for our District. Doug Aden arrived with Bob Moston and other CDOT employees that deal with Eagle County. The meeting was an opportunity for the Board to meet the new commissioner, for Bob Moston to update the Board on the currently approved State-wide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), and to hear the Board's concerns relating to transportation issues. I believe that many of the issues which you would have raised at such a meeting were conveyed by both the Board and myself. Bob Moston highlighted the status of the projects currently identified in the bridge replacement program. The Highway 6 bridge replacement over the Eagle River in Gypsum will be advertised in January 1998. The Highway 6 bridge replacement over the Eagle River near milepost 156 is scheduled for construction in the year 2000. The Highway 131 bridge replacement over the Eagle River will likely involve a relocation and occur sometime between 2000 and 2002. Bob Moston went over the upcoming resurfacing projects in Eagle County. They include I-70 through Vail from the easterly end of this last year's project (milepost 168.7) to milepost 180. Additional guardrail placement is planned. This project is estimated to cost $6 million and will be advertised in January 1998. A chip seal project is planned for accomplishment in 1999 between Carbondale and Basalt on State Highway 82. Other Eagle County projects include $100,000 worth of preliminary engineering for a half-diamond interchange in Eagle-Vail; replacement of the building in the Edwards Rest Area (advertisement is planned for April 1998 and the rest area will be closed for the project duration); and pedestrian improvements estimated to cost $200,000 in the Edwards area scheduled for 2000. A ` The I-70 Mountain Corridor Major Investment Study was discussed at length and the fact that Eagle County is supportive of the study. Likely recommendations were discussed with particular emphasis on the need for a new interchange at the airport to minimize the impact of traffic on both the Towns of Gypsum and Eagle. Eagle County thanked CDOT for their contribution of $40,000 towards the interchange feasibility study. The importance of improvements to State Highway 6 from Squaw Creek Road (west of Edwards) all the way to Vail was emphasized including the need to accommodate pedestrian safety. The Board did stress the need for active involvement by the Transportation Commission to preserve the rail corridor from Leadville to Gypsum for rails and trails. It was noted that the Transportation Commission did submit to the legislature their list of the rail lines to be preserved in compliance with Senate Bill 37. Unfortunately the legislature only appropriated $1 million for that purpose and the estimated cost is significantly greater. Finally, Eagle County advised that they are seeking an amendment to the current STIP in the amount of $900,000 for the Corridor Investment Study on the recently acquired railroad right-of-way in the Roaring Fork Valley known as the Aspen Branch. Eagle County is part owner of that line. That essentially sums up the meeting. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (970) 328-8760.

At the outset, let me state that we are nat against Yhe princiwee of the redeveloQment of the Lionshead core. On the cantrary, consider that the area is in need of redevelopment and improvement. The removal of the gondola station alane reyuires a new plan for the area.

From the pl.ans we understand that the praposed. four blacks of condominiums wi12 present a footprxnt which is considerably larqer than that covered by the present buildings, and that the height of seven storaes will increase the total bulk of buildinqs in that area by a faGtor of more than two. In addition, the area of the plazas around the buildings will have been considerably reduced. This does not sound like adhezence to C]Obd tOWI1 planning princip].es to us.

McLaurin, Town Manager ~ DATE: November 25, 1997 RE: Town of Vail Municipal Code Books As you are aware, we have been recodifying the Town of Vail Municipal Code book. The old blue code books are out of date and have not been updated since this recodification process began. The new code books are currently being printed and will be available for you the 2nd week in December. If you need a copy of the Vail Municipal Code at any time between now and the arrival of the new code books please let me know and I will loan one to you. I apologize for the delay in getting these code books to you. However, this recodification effort was a monumental task that took over two years from start to finish.

(-?~•.ry or Matt at 476-1680 or ~ a: D ' ' Subject: ~ Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 19:54:02 -0600 From: "dhaynesmsn" <dhaynesmsn@email.msn.com> To: <ssilver@vail.net> We have owned property in Lionshead for three years. We spent the previous ten years skiing at various resorts trying to find the one that best suited us. A typical ski season would be one trip to Vail and two elsewhere. We always kept coming back to Vail and would always stay in Lionshead. We liked the proximity to the ski slopes and the atmosphere. We certainly share some of the concerns of the redevelopment initiative and feel that there are several areas that need significant improvement. I am not even concerned that it may cost additional funds for improvement of my property-I feel they will more than pay for themselves in the long run. I am concerned about major changes in building heights and density. 4lhile the changes in Beaver Creek are beautiful, they have succeeded in completely blocking any view of the mountains-you might as well be standing in New York City. The biggest asset that we have is that beautiful mountain range! Bigger is not necessarily better. I am a physician at a Columbia hospital and I tried to tell them the same thing two years ago-look at where it got them. I do applaud the approach and slow pace of this process. Lets not get to caught up with it however and destroy what we've got. Start witn a new skiier bridge and making major renovations to the Gondola building. Keep the height down to its current level. Add a couple of nice restaurants and a few upscale shops (Golden Bear, an art gallery, Finishing Touch). Work with architects to improve the facade of existing structures-especially the Sunbird. Finally, complete the stream walk to the Village. Perhaps the major reason that we kept coming to Vai1 was the attitude of the resort personnel from shop keepers to bus drivers to mountain hosts and ski patrollers. This has noticeably declined over the past few years so maybe the first step should be addressing their concerns. Sincerely, Doug and Sandra Haynes 1 of 1 11/25/97 7:43 AM
