The DRB placed the following conditions on their approval: 1. That the free-standing be in compliance with the Town of Vail sign regulations and in compliance with the June 23, 1997, Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission sign variance approval. 2. That the applicant provide a stone base (stone to match the stone used in the Roundabout) on the sign posts. The stone base sha11 be a minimum of 2' tall. Pursuant to the sign variance approval granted by the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission on June 23, 1997, in part, "the free-standing sign is to be located in the landscaped area on the southeast corner of the applicant's property and that the maacimum height of the sign is 13' in height above grade and that the maximum sign area does not exceed 20 sq. ft." (see attached). According to the application materials you submitted, the eYisting free-standing sign etceeds the 20 sq. ft. malimum. According to my calculations, the esisting sign is approximately 25 sq. ft. in size. Additionally, the exterior sign is internally illuminated. Internal illumination of signs is not permitted by the Town of Vail Sign Code. Upon receiving this letter, please contact me at your earliest convenience, so we may discuss a solution to the existing sign situation. You can can reach me most easily by telephone at (970) 479-2145. I am confident we can work together to resolve the sign issues.

Box 2298 486 Forest Road Vail, Colorado 81657 5"' May 1998 Vail Town Council Town of Vail Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Lionshead Master Plan Revision Dear Council Members: I am a voting resident of Vail, with a home on Forest Road. As such, I have a strong interest in the decisions taken by the Town of Vail. Moreover, I have a good deal of confidence the Town resolves an overwhelming majority of issues in an appropriate manner. While home over recent months, I have watched with interest the process which appears to be evolving regarding the revision of the Master Plan for the Lionshead area. I have no doubt the village area needs to be re-thought in an effort to accommodate certain commercial and environmental changes with which we are confronted, and want to be clear I have few preconceptions as to the process as it relates to Lionshead village. The concomitant effort to alter the Plan in respect of the permissible use of adjoining residential and open space appears well out of bounds. I have not the slightest doubt Vail Resorts would like to see as much open space as possible available for real estate development: that is their objective and I understand their motivation. For the Town of Vail to respond to this wish would be quite another matter. To suggest, for instance, the Lionshead tennis courts and their environs should be developed is so obviously inappropriate it would seem not to require discussion. Arguments that this area is "too valuable" not to be developed truly verge on the unbelievable. The interests of real estate development organisations and planning firms are seldom coincident with the interests of tax paying, voting residents. If Vail, Colorado does not value natural and open space in it's core area, what town would do so? If a planned community such as Vail is successful as a result of a combination of factors, most certainly including its natural and open space, do we move to eliminate this open space when all have relied on the stability and integrity of community planning and process? Telephone +1-617-236-7607 Facsimile +1-617-236-7611 Let's not be naive in this process. To a"design consultant", any space not presently occupied represents a target of opportuniry. We above Lionshead have lived through some ill-advised efforts in recent years. Please recall the "professional" tennis team which captured the Lionshead tennis courts a few summers ago-an effort the only impact of which, before it collapsed of it's own weight, was to bring bright lights on summer nights and very loud amplified music. Beyond that, we have recently had to convince the Town (I hope) to put its foot on the notion of night skiing and sledding in Lionshead-more lights, more noise, all to little potential benefit. Obviously, the people who propose these ideas profit from them, but neither have to live with the results nor have their properry values impacted adversely. We are all aware there are limitations to the growth of leisure sports such as skiing. When these companies turn to real estate development to derive their growth, what is the sequence of events? What would be next after we put the condominiums on the tennis courts-the golf course? And there would be a next request, as the Town of Vail would be feeding a voracious beast, indeed. I, and others on Forest Road, am watching this process with interest. We cannot be present at all the relevant meetings, not to mention other instances, where these matters are addressed, and must rely on the integrity of Town process to protect our interests. Equally, we are aware the forces promoting change for profit reasons are working full time. Do not mistake our tolerance of this process as indifference to the conclusion.

TOWN OF VAIL TO COLLECT COMMUNITY SURVEY RESPONSES THROUGH MAY 15 (Vail)--If you received a Town of Vail community survey last month, there's still time to make yourself heard, so long as you do so in the next two wseks. Survey tabulators will continue to accept the annual survey through Friday, May 15. Anything returned after the May 15 cutoff will be excluded from the final tabulation. To date, more than 1,000 households have returned the survey. Those findings are being used to help shape decisions in the Common Ground public involvement process initiated by the Vail Town Council. That process will ultimately identify a dedicated funding source for affordable housing, and determine how to use the remaining available lands within the town's boundaries. In addition to a series of questions related to the Common Ground process, the four-page community survey asks respondents to evaluate the delivery of municipal services, as well as additional community needs and priorities. The 11 th annual survey was mailed in April to all households, property owners and businesses in Vail--about 11,000 in all. RRC Associates, a Boulder-based research firm, is tabu{ating the results and will make a presentation to the Vail Town Council at its June 16 evening meeting. For more information, or to request a survey if you didn't already receive one, please call the Town of Vail Community Information Office at 479-2115. # # # L~ RECYCLEDPAPBR &JIL Laama Zioniheacl PecleveL rrient Mailer Plan p aL,Jejign guidlehnei You are invited to attend a breakfast with the Town of Vail's Design Review Board, where the Lionshead master planning team wiil be presenting some concepts about future design guidelines for the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan area.

But when a large project has a time constraint, An Innovative I-225 Flyover the design/build concept becomes an attractive alternative reducing the total project time. CDOT's first large venture into design/build asked Under design/build, CDOT provides preliminary contractors for proposals on the northbound I-225 to plans and survey data (which are a minimum of twenty to westbound I-70 flyover structure in Aurora. Viewed as a thirty percent complete) to prospective contractors who are on success by all involved, the bridge has won awards for its a prequalified list. Projects are advertised for a longer period, designer DeLeuw Cather and for its builder, SEMA often six or seven weeks, instead of three weeks: this gives Construction, Inc. of Englewood. Built with parabolic prospective contractors and consultants time to build mutual haunches at the center piers, the bridge has graceful curves to understanding along with a design, and to plan and shop far soothe the visual separation; it blends the city on the west with materials to be used on the project. Contractors then turn in the plains on the east, instead of forming a barrier between lump sum bids with technical proposals for an entire project, them. Construction started in July 1996 and finished on time and CDOT's Technical Review Committee approves proposals and below its $5.1 million budget in August 1997. CDOT before the project is awarded to the lowest bidder. project engineers and contractor superintendents alike agreed "This process is still evolving," explains CDOT's that design/build helped speed the decision making process in Staff Bridge Engineer Steve Horton who helps guide the planning and assembling the five-span, post-tensioned concrete design/build concept.

Page 4 ' WASHINGTON UPDATE ~ by Jim Young Linton, Mields, Reisler & Cottone, Ltd. Taking advantage of a turn in the political winds, the House and Senate have both passed highway and transit reauthorization packages that include major increases for both the federal-aid highway and transit programs, far beyond the levels thought achievable only a month or two ago. Assuming budget hurdles are overcome, state and local transportation programs, including Colorado's, will get a lot more help from Washington than they could have expected if Congress had passed an ISTEA reauthorization last fall. That remains true regardless of which version, House or Senate, prevails in the conference version that is expected to go to the president for signing by May 1. House and Senate conferees will have a hard time ironing out all their differences in the few working days between the end of the spring break April 21 and the end of the month. But leaders nevertheless set May as the deadline, since that is when the temporary obligation authority of last year's interim highway bill expires. The key to the passage of the House and Senate bills was the pressure brought on the G.O.P. leadership in both bodies by governors, local public officials and key interest groups, to make sure that all the money collected in gas taxes and other transportation user fees is spent on the highway and transit trust fund programs. Budget Committee leaders John Kasich (R-Ohio) in the House and Pete Domenici (R-New Mexico) in the Senate both lost their battles to delay decisions on the ISTEA reauthorization until their new budget plan has been worked out in the FY 1999 budget resolution that is still under construction. Instead, they in effect have been told to produce spending levels in the forthcoming conferences that allow for the increases provided in the House and Senate bills. Only Domenici has drafted a budget yet. The FY 1998 budget resolution approved by the Senate just before its Easter recess includes several offsets to fund the highway bill, but veterans groups and agricultural interests whose programs would lose money are expected to fight these provisions. Next Steps. During the recess, staff inembers met on preliminary compromises to whittle away the list of differences between the two bills, with the toughest issues put on hold until the members hold the formal House-Senate conference. Unless the leaders abandon their commitment, the final bill must include its own budget solution, raising the additional outlays to pay for the program increases. The House version requires some $26 billion over the next six years above what the spending ceilings of last year's balanced budget agreement would permit. Even if the legislators concoct a budget plan that manages to shoehorn the new law's funding into the old budget restrictions, look for Congress to amend it later this year, perhaps by August, once it figures out a means of using the extra billions of dollars in the Treasury produced by the booming economy. House-Senate Conference. Overall funding levels should not be a tough issue for the House-Senate conferees. The two bills are only about $3 billion apart over the six-year reauthorization period, although transit fares significantly better under the Senate provisions with highways funded higher under the House bill. Formulas and program structure pose major problems, although formula differences might prove relatively easy to resolve. Both bills make up a lot of the ground that donor states had sought, even if they fall short of the absolute 95 cents-on-the-dollar that the donor states have been seeking. Structural issues could be tough. Going strictly by the numbers, the most recent tables available show a nearly even split between House and Senate bills, with 26 states ending up with a larger share of the national highway program under the Senate bill, but with two of ~ those states, Colorado and Missouri, actually due to get more money under the House bill's slightly higher authorizations. The numbers in the House tables will change again somewhat after recalculation to include the addition of a few extra proj ects on the House floor and to account for a last-minute modification of minimum allocation rules. Other conference Issues include the House-Senate disagreement over the Senate-approved sanctions on states that do not adopt 0.08 percent blood alcohol limits far drunk driving. Also in dispute will be the Senate's seven-year extension Page S . . . continued next page. ~ , of gasohol tax exemptions that are currently due to expire in 2000. Also, look for changes in the lists of highway and transit project designations in the final bill. If the pattern of the past holds for this bill, the Senate, after insisting on excluding projects from its bill, will cave in and accept House- designated priority projects, in exchange for including some senatorial projects in the final list. ~~allt, 0~e Cangressionat bfas.propOIW . . . ~ fnr'C616 rad,6,: in ditscuW0ris, sfter' Ap~~ 20 Prepared by CDOT Office of Policy The Senate's S.1173 "ISTEA II" For Colorado, ISTEA II proposes an increase of 60 percent in overall highway program funding and a proportional share increase from 1.17 percent ~~j'% (under the prevlous Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act) to 1.275 percent. This translates into $321 million per year for Colorado versus $201 m/yr. received under ISTEA, for a$120 m/yr. increase. Transit ISTEA II authorizes $41.3 billion that represents an increase of 30 percent funding over ISTEA. In addition, Senatar Wayne Allard succeeded m including an amendment that would make Denver one of 34 cities that would qualify for "new" New Start project funding. Senator Allard was able to secure $2.35 billion for the new New Start program. ISTEA II's controversial amendments include: Lowering blood alcohol content (BAC) to .08 percent for driving drunk, instead of the current .10 percent and mcludes state sanctions if not adopted by October l, 2001, with five percent of all federal aid sanctioned (withheld) in the first year and 10 percent every year thereafter a state fails to comply by passing state legislation. Open Container Law, providing that no open alcoholic beverage containers are to be present in a vehicle by October l, 2002. States that do not comply with legislation would lose five percent in federal aid fundmg the first year and 10 percent each year thereafter. The House's "BESTEA" bill A flurry of House activity ensued following the swift passage of S.1173, as H.R. 2400, known as "BESTEA" moved out of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. BESTEA authorizes $218 billion total in program authorizations over the six year period from 1998 to 2003, with $9 billion reserved for demonstration projects, $8 billion for transit new starts and $3 billion for bus systems. The $218 billion is a hefty increase in program total authorization, up from previous ISTEA's $155 bilhon. For Colorado, BESTEA would mean a tremendous increase of 67.9 percent in overall highway rogram funding and a proportional share increase from 1.17 percent (under ISTEA) to 1.22 percent p for a total of $337,687,000 annually in authorizations. In addition, Colorado has succeeded in securmg funding to start or continue phased construction for several "high priority" projects. . The "high priority" highway projects listed by BESTEA are the following: "The Mousetrap" I-25/I-70 Interchange in Denver $12 million ' Powers Boulevard in eastern Colorado Springs $12 million This widening project is under construction running parallel to I-25 for 36 miles, with 16 already completed. Long term financing involves a partnership by Federal Highway Administration, the city, CDOT and private industry. Page 6 ~ C-470/I-70 Interchange reconstruction $ 6.25 million Phase 2 construction near Golden has a total proJ'ect cost closer to $8.5 million but this amount could provide a good start. New loop ramp s and acceleration/deceleration lanes would help prepare for traffic movements toward the eventual C-470 extension north to 6th Avenue in Golden. r S.H. 74/Jefferson County 73 interchange in Evergreen $ 6.25 million The proposed project results from community and county public hearings that chose from several options to recommend construction of a new bridge m front of Evergreen Lake dam. The intersection would be converted to a circular routed loop, adding an additional bridge. Truck route in Montrose $ 5.6 million I-225/Iliff Ave. interchange reconstruction in Aurora $ 5.5 million This amount could start phased construction of a$17 million flyover and loop ramp realignment. Broadway Viaduct in Denver $ 4 million I-25 truck climbing lane in Douglas County $ 3 million This proposed project would add an auxiliary climbing lane or lanes in the median along southbound I-25 from Lincoln Avenue to Castle Pines Parkway (4.1 rmles, much of it uphill). This is in addition to $9 million in federal funds already authorized. Stapleton Intermodal Transfer Facility in Denver $ 3 million The site is former Stapleton International Airport; a developer and Regional Transportation District (RTD) would upgrade current bus transit and parking facilities. This amount would start phased construction estimated to total $50 million. In Arvada, Wadsworth Blvd and Grandview Ave. rail and highway upgrade $ 1 million The amount could provide preliminary engineering and environmental work toward an eventual $15 million railroad separation project which would lower Wadsworth Blvd and carry railroad tracks and Grandview Ave. traffic above it. Transit In addition, the House bi11 includes four Colorado transit projects that would be eligible for Federal Transit Admimstration funding under "New Fixed Guideway" systems. The four projects are: Southwest (Denver Area) Light Rail Transit Southeast (Denver) Light Rail Transit (I-25 between Broadway and Lincoln Ave.) West Denver Light Rail Transit Corridor East Corridor - to Denver International Airport Will projects survive the Joint Senate/House conference ? All the above are tentative, part of the Joint conference discussions expected to occur following Congress' return from Easter recess April 20r''. Colorado Senator Wayne Allard has been selected to participate in the conference committee. Issues of debate for joint conference are expected to be the followmg: y $3 billion difference between the Senate and House bills. $93 billion to fund "High Priarity" projects inside OR outside the obligation limit. »The budget baseline mark to be used to determine the appropriations amount.

A S S O C 1 A T E S Research • Planning • Desiqn MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Vail Town Council and Interested Citizens and Staff FROM: Chris Cares, RRC Associates RE: An Update on Community Survey Results Date: 5/4/98 Attached is an updated set of tabies profiling some of the preliminary results from the Vail Community Survey. As of 5/1/98 we had received a total of 1,228 completed surveys and have processed 1, 156 forms. This includes 612 responses to the Town Resident Version of the survey, sent to all box holders and listed home addresses; 423 responses from Absentee Owners; and 121 responses to the "Down Valley" version of the survey. Surveys continue to arrive daily and while it is premature to draw absolute conclusions about the results, we wanted to give you an update so that you would have cunent information concerning emerging patterns in the responses. As noted in the past, we are careful to track the responses from each of the surveys separately in order to distinguish opinions from various "segments" of the community. This year this segmentation is especially important because the Down Valley survey, which was fielded for the first time this year, has elicited good response from a group that has not previously been represented. Our early review of results suggests that this segment has some different opinions concerning priorities and that this group also rates services and existing facilities somewhat differently. For example, on the block of questions that ask respondents to rank the importance of various community uses on T.O.V. owned land, the uses that involved recreation or families scored especially high with Down Valley residents (i.e. "family fun center," gymnastics, and another ice rink). On the other hand, both indoor and outdoor swimming pools were rated no higher by this group than by the Vail Residents and Absentee Owners. We will continue to track these responses separate from the surveys received from Residents and Absentee Owners. There are a number of questions on this year's survey that relate to topics being considered through the Common Ground process. These results have been shared previously as a part of the early Common Ground meetings and are now updated to reflect current results. The data continue ta show generai support for the emphasis on affordable housing by the Town Council. While there are some negative comments toward this focus, the prevailing attitude is that housing is the "biggest issue facing the Town" as measured through the first question on the Resident Version of the questionnaire. We will continue to update results as they are received and are anticipating finalizing the data summary and final report on this year's community survey by early June. 4940 Pearl East Circle • Suite 103 • Boulder, Colorado 80301 •(303) 449-6558 •(303) 449-6587 FAX TOti'VN OF VAIL COMMUNITY SURVEY Preliminary Results May 4, 1998 Prepared for: .

TO: Vail Town Council Robert W. McLaurin FROM: Pamela A. Brandmeyer •_VI DATE: May 7, 1998 RE: Amphitheater Box Seats/Vilar Center for the Arts Baroque & Chamber Series Attached is the reservation form for those of you requesting use of the 1998 BRAVO! Concert Season tickets. Please fill out this form and return it to me no later than Tuesday, June 2, 1997. We have four box seats at the Amphitheater and 2 preferred seating cards for the Vilar Center for the Arts Chamber series. Please note the following: 1. Tickets for each event have been reserved for you based on this request sheet. I will make certain you have your tickets prior to the concert ...or directions as to where they may be picked up. Because I will "pool" tickets over to employees once you've made your selections...and because this program has become increasingly popular with employees, too...it is unlikely I will have tickets available once these initial choices are made. 2. Importantly, if you find you cannot keep a requested date, please let me know so I can offer the seat to other Council Members, provide to Town employees, or release back to the Amphitheater for sale. I have also attached a schedule for the 1998 Soiree Series along with an order form for tickets. These tickets may be purchased at your own expense through Bravo! Please call me at work, 479-2113, or at home, 949-1966, if last minutes changes occur. Thanks - and enj oy! ! ! !

Mr. Murrain had served as Chief Building Official and refused to accept a restructuring of his position to facilitate the counter service which has been successfully in effect at Community Development for more than two years. After his termination Mr. Murrain filed a lawsuit alleging breach of contract, age discrimination and disability discrimination based upon his alcoholism. The breach of contract claims were dismissed prior to trial which took place May 4, 5 and 6 in the Eagle County District Court before Judge Hart. After a three day trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Town of Vail on all issues. This successful result was only possible through the joint efforts of Bob McLaurin, Susan Connelly (who returned from Chicago to testify in this case), Mike Mollica, Russell Forrest, and John Power. I am available to answer any questions you might have in regard to this matter.

May 8, 1998 VIA TELECOPIER 303/866-2003 The Honorable Roy Romer Governor, State of Colorado Colarado State Capitol 200 E. Colfax Denver, CO 80203 Dear Governor Romer: It is with a sigh of relief that I have the opportunity to forward this letter to encourage you to sign House Bill 1200, a Bill for an Act Concerning the Creation of Local Marketing Districts. The Vail Town Council has been a proponent of this legislation from its inception, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to place this item on the election calendar for Eagle County in the fall of 1998. This bill is important for counties and municipalities other than just Eagle County in that it will allow the latitude to establish a local marketing district to raise revenue to support local tourism promotional efforts. Passage of this bill and your ultimate signature is important for several reasons: 1. In Vail we have had a history since the late 80s of regionalizing our marketing efforts through'a business license fee coupled with general fund dollazs. This arrangement also has involved the Beaver Creek Resort Company, the Town of Avon, and Vail Associates. While we have been fortunate to generate up to 1 million dollars a yeax, each year it becomes increasingly more difficult to go back to the funding entities and ask for the next year's allocation. Once and for all, this will allow Eagle County to hold a vote and evaluate whether an overall lodging taac for this special improvement district is appropriate. 2. As you are aware, business improvement districts already exist within municipalities or within counties. The ability to cross jurisdictional lines in a county such as ours makes this considerably more palatable to all parties of interest. 3. Through your signing of HB-1200, we will have the local initiative to move forward to create the petition for a ballot initiative and then to allow our voters ultimately to decide whether this district is formed. It provides the long-term funding mechanism, if the voters so decide, for which we have been struggling to get in place for the past ten years. It allows for local control and offers the opportunity to take more responsible charge of our future. Again, the Vail Town Council encourages you to sign HB-1200. We see this as a viable mechanism for creating long-term funding to promote the industry that sustains our county. Thank you for taking the time to consider this important initiative. Sincerely, - TO OF V Robert E. Ford Mayor REF/aw xc: Vail Town Council Robert W. McLaurin, Town Manager R. Thomas Moorhead, Town Attorney Pamela A. Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager Frank Johnson, Director Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau
