VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
WORK SESSION
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1999
2:00 P.M. AT TOV COUNCIL CHAMBERS
AGENDA
NOTE: Time of items are approximate, subject to change, and cannot be relied
upon to determine at what time Council will consider an item.
1. Buck Allen - 20 Year Anniversary. (5 mins.)
2. Planning and Environmental Commission representation on the
Dominic Mauriello Design Review Board. (30 mins.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The PEC, upon motion
(4-2), has recommended that the Town Council consider making
changes to the code removing the requirement for PEC
representation on the DRB. The reason given for the motion was
that the amount of time necessary to attend both the PEC
meetings and the DRB meetings was excessive and difficult for
working professionals to attend. Staff is seeking Town Council
direction as to whether or not to prepare an ordinance to make a
change to remove the PEC as a member of the DRB.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Chapter 4, Design Review Board,
of the Municipal Code, states that "The design review board shall
be composed of five (5) members. Four (4) members shall be
residents of the Town, appointed by the Town Council, and the
fifth member shall be a member of the Planning and
Environmental Commission of the Town."
Staff Recommendation: Staff believes it is beneficial for Town
Boards to have over lapping membership, so that each Board
understands the inter-relationship of the Boards and
Commissions. Staff believes that such a system would be.
beneficial also for the Town Council to have voting members
present at the PEC and DRB meetings for this reason. However,
staff understands the impacts of having volunteers in our
community committing significant blocks of time to board
meetings. The time commitments necessary for these Boards
impacts our ability to fill empty positions with qualified residents.
Staff recommends that an ordinance be drafted removing the
requirement for participation of the PEC on the DRB.
3. PEC/DRB Review. (15 mins.)
George Ruther
4. Berry Creek 5th Housing. (1 hr.)
Tom Moorhead
Andy Knudtsen ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Consider affordable
housing development parameters and policies and provide
direction to Council's representatives to the Eagle County
Recreation Authority.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In the course of negotiating the
intergovernmental agreement with the Eagle County School
District for joint planning of the Miller Ranch and Berry Creek 5th
property, the Eagle County Recreation Authority has moved
forward in a significant manner to develop a plan for the housing
component located on the Berry Creek 5th property. In it's present
configuration the housing component will be 16 acres. Attached is
memorandum prepared by Knudtsen & Company Consulting, LLC
and considered by the Eagle County Recreation Authority at its
meeting on February 12, 1999. At this time it is appropriate for
Town Council to review the housing proposal and advise its
representatives to the Eagle County Recreation Authority of its
position in regard to the present proposal.
5. Information Update. (10 mins.)
6. Council Reports. (10 mins.)

Mr. Josef Staufer
100 E Meadow Drive
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Mr. Staufer:
At the February 16`h Town Council meeting you inquired about the "staff" memo
regarding the proposed Vail Plaza Inn. As .1 recall, you specifically asked whom the staff
was that prepared the Vail Plaza Inn memorandum and how they reached their
recommendations. The staff most closely involved in the memo is the Town Planners
working for the Community Development Department. In addition, staff from Public
Works and the Fire Department is involved in all development review recommendations.
The application we received was for a major amendment to Special Development District
#6, Vail Village Inn. With a special development district, the applicant has the
opportunity to propose development standards that exceed the underlying zoning. The
process is unfortunately somewhat subjective with this type of application in that the
Council, PEC, and staff are evaluating the public benefits of the project versus the
impacts. In doing this, staff evaluates Council objectives and applicable master plan
goals and objectives.
In 1976, the Vail Town Council passed Ordinance No. 7, Series 1976, establishing
Special Development Districts No. 6, Vail Village Inn. When originally considering
deviations from the underlying zoning in 1976, the Town Council found that such
deviations were acceptable as the community was to realize a substantial increase in the
hotel bed base., An increase in short-term accommodations has been a long-standing
objective of our resort community.
In the staff memorandum for the Vail Plaza Inn numerous observations and issues were
raised. Heights of adjacent buildings, circulation, visual impacts, parking, employee.
housing, streetscape improvements, design and architectural quality (just to name a few
areas of concern) were analyzed. In the end staff did conclude the benefits outweighed
the costs given the Towns stated goals of encouraging redevelopment and increasing
warm beds.
The staff recommendation is simply a professional opinion and is communicated to
decision-makers for their consideration. The Town Council and the PEC evaluates
public input and the staff recommendation when making decisions. The Town's
RECYCLEDPAPER
development review team prepares the staff recommendation. The development review
team includes staff from the Fire Department, Police Department, Public Works, and
Community Development Departments.
I would like to invite you to meet with the project planner and myself at a time of your
convenience, so that we can review the proposal in detail and discuss the staff
recommendation. We are always open to improving our process and how We can better
serve the community. Please feel free to call me at 479-2146 to discuss a time to meet
to answer any questions you might have regarding the proposed Vail Plaza Inn SDD
amendment.
Mayor Ford also asked that I respond to your question regarding amplified sound in
residential neighborhoods. Amplified sound is regulated in the Town code under 5-1-7
(H). Gregg Morrison, Tom Moorhead, or I would be happy to meet with you to discuss
additional regulatory needs in this area and what your specific concerns are regarding
noise in residential areas. I have attached a copy of our noise regulations for your
review.
Once again, please don't hesitate to drop in and or call me if you have any questions
regarding development proposals in the future.
Thank your for your interest in the Vail Plaza Inn and we look forward to further
discussing this application with you.
Sincerely,
Russell Forrest
Director of Community Development.

MILLER RANCH-BERRY CREEK INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
1. PARTIES. The parties to this Miller Ranch-Berry Creek Intergovernmental
Agreement (Agreement) are the EAGLE COUNTY RECREATION AUTHORITY, a quasi-
municipal corporation of the State. of Colorado (Authority), and the EAGLE COUNTY
SCHOOL DISTRICT RE-50J, a public school district of the State of Colorado (District).
2. RECITALS AND PURPOSE. The Authority is the fee simple owner of a 105-acre
parcel of real property located in Eagle County, Colorado, commonly referred to as the Berry
Creek 5th Filing and which is depicted on the attached EXHIBIT A. The legal description of
the Authority's real property is set forth on the attached EXHIBIT B. The District is the fee
simple owner of the adjacent 109-acre parcel of real property located in Eagle County, Colorado,
commonly referred to as the Miller Ranch and which is depicted on the attached EXHIBIT A.
The legal description of the District's real property is attached as EXHIBIT C. As of the date of
this Agreement, the Authority has allowed a portion of the property to be utilized as an
equestrian center. The District has constructed Berry Creek Middle School on a portion of its
real property and is leasing other portions of its real property to Stevens Home Care, Inc., J.T.
Berga Company, Inc., and an existing residence to an employee of the District. The balance of
the parties' respective real property is undeveloped. Prior to the signing of this Agreement, the
parties determined that it was in their respective interests, and in the best interest of the public, to
engage in joint planning for their respective real property to ensure that the entire 214-acre parcel
(Property) is utilized in the most appropriate manner possible. Accordingly, through a joint
planning process with significant public input and involvement, the parties have developed the
Concept Plan which is attached to this Agreement as EXHIBIT D. The purpose of this
Agreement is to reflect the agreement of the parties that Miller Ranch and Berry Creek 5th Filing
will be planned as if the two parcels were one and in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this
Agreement, the parties covenant and agree to the terms and conditions set forth in the following
paragraphs.
3. JOINT PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT. The parties agree that the entire Property shall
be utilized by the respective parties in accordance with the designations set forth on the Concept
Plan attached to this Agreement as EXHIBIT D. In fulfillment of such agreement, the parties
agree as follows:
3.1 Conveyancing/Timing. The conveyancing referred to in Paragraphs 3.2 through
3.5 below shall be accomplished by general warranty deeds conveying fee simple title to
the respective parcels involved, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and subject
only to easements, restrictions and rights-of-way of record, if any, but not including
appurtenant water rights. Upon one party's request for a conveyance of the other party's
real property to the requesting party, the remaining conveyances referred to in this
paragraph 3 shall occur. The parties further agree that the timetable on which one party
develops the parcels which it now owns, or may own in the future, is independent of the
timetable on which the other party develops the parcels it now owns, or may own in the
future; provided, however, that the conveyance of any Parcel from one party to the other
party will trigger conveyances of all other parcels.
,a
3.2 School Facility. Upon the District's written request, the Authority agrees to
convey Parcel A to the District for construction of a school and related facilities. A
school facility may include a high school, or the development of a magnet school or other
type of learning center provided that the primary purpose of such facilities is to provide
education for the citizens of Eagle County on Parcel A. The District further agrees that if
it constructs a high school on the Property, it will be located on Parcel A.
3.3 Recreational. Upon the Authority's written request, the District agrees to convey
to the Authority that portion of Parcel 3 which is owned by the District to the Authority
for use for recreational facilities and activities as described in paragraph 7 below.
3.4 Housing. Upon the Authority's written request, the District agrees to convey to
the Authority that portion of Parcel 2 which is owned by the District for use for housing
as described in paragraph 7 below.
3.5 Open Space. Upon the Authority's wri tten request, the District agrees to convey
to the Authority Parcels 4 and 5 for open space and passive recreational activities.
Parcels 4 and 5 shall be maintained in a predominantly undeveloped condition.
Development on Parcels 4 and 5 shall be limited to trails, any bridges which may be
necessary for such trails, picnic facilities, restrooms and trailhead parking. The parties
further acknowledge and covenant that Cemetary Road is currently located on Parcel 5
and nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the future maintenance, upgrading or
expansion of this road.
4. EASEMENT AND RIGHT-OF-WAY. By that certain Conveyance of Easement
recorded on February 20, 1992 in the real property records of Eagle County Colorado in Book
573 at Page 262, the Authority conveyed a non-exclusive, perpetual easement across its property
to the June Creek Ranch Company. Thereafter, by Quit Claim Deed recorded as Reception No.
549209 on October 21, 1994 in Book 653 at Page 173, June Creek Ranch Company quit claimed
such easement to the District. Effective upon the execution of this Agreement, and the parties'
joint determination of the exact location and legal description of the easement, the Authority
agrees to execute and to deliver to the District for recording that certain Deed of Perpetual Non-
Exclusive Easement described on the attached EXHIBIT E. The District and the Authority
agree to construct a road on such easement to be known as the Miller Ranch Road, and to make
improvements to the intersection of the Miller Ranch Road and the Edwards Spur Road, pursuant
to the terms and cost sharing arrangements which will be contained in a separate agreement.
5. CONSULTATION WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. The parties
have been consulting with the appropriate officials of Eagle County, Colorado (County), the
Western Eagle County Metropolitan Recreation District (WECMRD), the Berry Creek
Metropolitan District, and the Edwards Metropolitan District regarding the parties' joint
development of the Property. The parties agree to continue with such consultations and agree to
cooperate with other governmental entities to ensure compliance with Colorado law and the
applicable rules, regulations and policies of such entities to the extent that such rules, regulations
and policies are applicable to the parties as political subdivisions of the State of Colorado.
6. BOUNDARY LINE CONFLICT. As shown on Exhibit A, the parties acknowledge
that there is a conflict between the Authority's easterly boundary line and the District's westerly
GICLIENTSIEVECSDIIGA-EAGLE CV REC & DISTRICT-FINAL OF 10.00C 2
boundary line which will be resolved at the time the District conveys portions of Parcels 2 and 3
to the Authority.
7. ACREAGE, USE AND OWNERSHIP. The Parties agree that their respective parcels
of real property which total approximately 214 acres will be subdivided into 13 separate parcels
as described below:
Parcel ADDrox. Acres Anticipated Use Present Ownershin Future Ownershin
A 25.0 School Facility Authority District
B 11.0 School Facility District District
C 12.0 Middle School District District
D 14.0 Housing District District
E 7.0 School Facility District District
F 8.0 Alternative Use District District
Road Public Road Auth./Dist. Eagle County
1 21.0 Multiple Use Authority Authority
2 16.0 Housing Auth./Dist. Authority
3 41.0 Recreational Use Auth./Dist. Authority
4 14.5 Open Space District Authority
5 22.5 Open Space District Authority
6 5.5 Multiple Use Authority Authority
Total 197.5
The acreage of individual parcels are approximate and subject to refinement during the formal
subdivision of the Property. The total acreage of individual parcels indicated above is 197.5
acres and the total acreage of the entire Property is 214 acres. This discrepancy is because
portions of the Property, such as areas of steep slope, are not included within individual parcels,
and further because the number of acres required for the Public Road depicted on EXHIBIT D
has not yet been determined.
The parties agree that, in the future, their respective needs may change and that, prior to
conveyancing the size and configuration of the above-described parcels may need to be adjusted.
In such event, and upon written request, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith concerning
such matters.
The parties further agree that with proper planning and design the anticipated uses of the
Property are compatible. The parties agree to consult with each other prior to the development of
any Parcel. The purpose of such consultation is to ensure site specific design and development is
responsive to existing and anticipated uses on surrounding Parcels. Anticipated uses provide a
general indication of the future use of each parcel. With the exception of use restrictions outlined
in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.5 above, nothing in this Agreement shall bind each party to the
anticipated uses outlined above and further described below:
G:\CLIENTS\E\ECSD\IGA-EAGLE CV REC d DISTRICT-FINAL OF 10.DOC 3
Multiole Use: Open space, recreation, equestrian center, utility facility or other use
consistent with the future needs of the Authority.

documents and to take any additional action necessary to carry out this Agreement.,
including, but not limited to, the following:
8.1 Design and cost sharing agreement for the construction of Miller Ranch Road,

SUBJECT: 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each of you for the outstanding job you did during the
recently completed World Alpine Ski Championships. This event has been deemed extremely
successful by the FIS (International Ski Federation), and the international media. Vail has set a
new standard for hosting world class athletic events.
This event could not have been successful without the effort of the Town of Vail. During the past
two weeks we took the concept of teamwork from an organizational perspective to a community
one. Our partnerships with the Vail Valley Foundation and the VRD, Vail Resorts and the business
community made this event seamless. In fact, these races were by far the most successful ski
event in the history of skiing in the United States.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your contributions towards making this event
successful.
In the spirit of recognizing effort and achievement we will be hosting a party on Friday, March 51h
to express our thanks and celebrate a job well done. This event will be held at the Dancing Bear
in West Vail from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Hors d'oeuvre and refreshments will be provided.
Once again, thanks for a job very well done and I look forward to seeing you on March 5'h

Mr. Robert McLaurin, Manager

Vail, CO, 81657
Dear Mr. McLaurin,
Surely having the World Alpine Ski Championships in Vail is a magnificent event
that exhibits our town as a remarkable center of world wide skiing interest. The well
thought out planning, placing of highway signs and beautiful flags deserve accolades, and
apparently the town is ready for this fantastic global event.
Isn't it sad that when one approaches the East Vail (180) Exit the Pitkin Creek
Parking Lot greets our important participants and guests with a junk yard of dead and
abandoned vehicles that include several beat up VW's and other wrecks. The responsible
parties, The Colorado Department of Transportation and the U. S. Forest Service have
ignored this responsibility most of the time for years.
I am never surprised anymore that the Town of Vail authorities ignore their
responsibility of overseeing that no such junk yards are allowed within the town limits. I
really think that no one in Vail's government ever approaches from the east or surely they
would have noticed this acne on the face of Vail long ago. It does worry me that Vail is
becoming all "Show" on the surface, but is developing a junky infrastructure.
Since this has been long ignored by so many in responsible positions, all involved
should be ashamed. But I guess such things don't matter any more. Shame is a thing of the
past.
S~'tLcerely,
Robert E. Baker

Honorable William Owen, Governor,

Denver, Colorado
Dear Governor Owen,
First of all, congratulations on your election to the governorship of one of
the great places on this earth.
In the past, Governor Romer's DOT sometimes took care of the DOT
parking lot that is the problem in the enclosed letter.
It needs your attention since the DOT is responsible for its care since the
area is on the I-70 right of way corridor which the DOT has the responsibility to
take care of.
We need help. Better yet, we need a solution to this 16 year old problem. I
urge that this lot be shut down, and it will stop being used as a junk yard. This can
be done by merely extending a berm a few yards.
Since no one cares for or takes responsibility for this area, couldn't we
eliminate the problem ?
Any help will be appreciated. This is a solvable ecological mess.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Baker

Because many of the new resi-
dences are expected to be vacation
homes, it's not certain how many
new residents the development will
add to the year-round population.
Within the past five years, Avon
also has become the address of
Mountain Star, a gated community
with homes starting at $2.5 million.
It lies largely out of sight on the
north side of the valley - across the
valley from Beaver Creek and Bach-
elor Gulch, where homes range up to
$5.2 million.
"Until you find out, sometimes it's
hard to discern who is really
wealthy," said Gallegos, the high
school senior. "Until I found out, I
wouldn't have known that some peo-
ple live in a multimillion-dollar
house."
As far west as Gypsum, 40 miles
from Vail's ski runs, new homes
priced from $300,000 to $450,000 are
being built around a golf course -
one of 11 mostly private courses.
"When people think of Gypsum,
they don't usually think of a
$300.000 entry point." Wilhelm said.
"But $300,000 in Gypsum may turn
out to be a bargain."
Roads, schools and social services
have trouble keeping up.
'As growth migrates farther west
in the county, the impacts follow,
obviously," said Keith Montag, com-
munity development director for
Eagle County. "We're seeing lots of
congestion and traffic backed up on
the interstate at once-quiet towns
like Edwards and Eagle."

ers in the last decade, but some stu-
dents still attend classes in modular
units, spokeswoman Cindy
Ramunno said.
Three more new schools are to be
built in the western end of the coun-
ty by 2003, she said.
The boom is expected to continue,
given impetus by Vail's worldwide
exposure to a television audience of
500 million during the champi-
onships.

Dear Bob:
As you may know, officials from Park City and planners from the Utah State Olympic Public
Safety Command recently visited Vail to observe the World Alpine Ski Championships. Chief
Morrison and the staff of the Vail Police Department were particularly helpful in our efforts to
learn more about event management in preparation for the 2002 Winter Olympics. Your staff
went well beyond normal protocol in providing us assistance and information during a time when
they probably had far better things to do. I hope that you will forward this letter to the mayor and
city council so that they will know how much we appreciate the working relationships between
our communities.
While I am sure the WASC had its difficult moments, we all agreed that this event was extremely
well managed and well executed. We learned a great deal about the relationships between city
government, event organizers, the community and the participation of the federal government.
This information will be a valuable tool in our Olympic planning efforts.
Once again, on behalf of Park City and the Utah State Olympic Public Safety Command, we
appreci y ur ass nce.

5 LOCAL BUSINESSES RECEIVE GREEN STAR
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
(Vail)--Five local businesses are the first to receive certification from the local chapter of a
national recognition program that encourages and promotes environmental practices. The
Green Star program was launched locally last year by the Town of Vail and the Environmental
Committee for the 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships in response to a recommendation from
the Vail Tomorrow project.
Since then, the Chamber of Commerce, Vail Daily, Vail Valley Medical Center, Vail Resorts'
Eagle's Nest building at the top of the gondola, and the Town of Vail Community Development
Department have received full certification.
To quality, participants must complete 12 of 18 environmental standards outlined in the
program. Those practices include recycling, energy conservation and pollution prevention
techniques.
Patrick Hamel, project coordinator for the Town of Vail, says the businesses have been
working since the spring of 1998 to complete their certification. "These businesses have worked
hard to develop tangible goals that will serve our environment well," Hamel said.
For example, Vail Valley Medical Center gives lunch coupons to employees who carpool with
at least two others. The Vail Daily has added reusable plates, mugs and silverware to their staff
lunch room. In addition, the Vail Daily uses partially recycled paper for its publications.
The Town of Vail Community Development office has purchased two bicycles that are being

used in place of motor vehicles during site visits. Also, the department has replaced many
energy-consuming incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs.
The Chamber of Commerce now purchases business cards, envelopes and letterhead from
recycled material. And at Eagle's Nest, all anti-freeze from vehicles used to maintain the
building is now being recycled on-site and is used continually. In addition, all office paper at
Eagle's Nest contains recycled paper content.
Hamel says the five businesses will be evaluated annually for re-certification.
Organizations and businesses of any size throughout the Eagle Valley are eligible for
participation in the program. Hamel says the environmental practices not only protect the
environment, but businesses also discover a savings in the company's bottom line.
Currently, the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, Holy Cross Electric and Vail Nature Center are
preparing for certification.
Certification costs range from $25 for a one-person business to $100 for a business with 50 or
more employees. There also is a $25 annual recertification fee regardless of the size of the
business.
Created in 1990 by the Chamber of Commerce in Anchorage, Alaska, Green Star now has ten
chapters across the country. Vail's program represents the first of its kind in Colorado.
For more information about the program, contact Hamel at 479-2333.

TOV TELEPHONE SYSTEM UPGRADE CAUSES VOICE-MAIL SERVICE DISRUPTION
(Vail)--If you've left a message on the Town of Vail's voice mail system lately--and you haven't had a
return call--try calling back again. The Town of Vail doesn't mean to ignore your call. Chances are, the
call wasn't received in the first place.
Due to installation of a voice-mail system upgrade earlier this week, all voice-mail messages that were
previously placed in the system were erased, unable to be converted to the new system. In addition, the
town's voice-mail system was inactive from about 4 p.m. yesterday evening until 10 a.m. this morning to
accommodate the upgrade.
The changes are Y2-K compliant and enable the town to add more menu options and much-needed
storage capacity.
The Town of Vail apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the temporary outage.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR FEBRUARY 16
Work Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas
--Eagle Observatory Grant Request Presentation
The Council heard from John McMain, a fifth grade teacher at Eagle Elementary School, who's
seeking to raise $160,000 to construct and operate an observatory to be used by educators and
students in grades K-12, as well as community members and organizations throughout the
region. As proposed, the facility would be built on school property in Eagle and would be
administered by the Eagle County School District. Although receptive to the concept,
Councilman Bob Armour said the proposal was more reflective of the school district's mission
than of the Town of Vail. McMain is scheduled to make a funding presentation to the Eagle
County School Board on April 28. Councilmembers said they preferred to wait until after the
April presentation before taking action on the request. McMain also was advised of the town's
annual grant process for nonprofit organizations. Those applications are typically processed
during the month of July as part of the annual budget process. For more information on the
Eagle Observatory proposal, contact McMain at 328-6981.
--Information Update
Councilmembers were invited to attend a March 5 luncheon with elected officials from Mammoth
Lakes, Calif. The Mammoth Lakes representatives are touring Vail and other resort towns in the
Central Rockies.
Also, Councilmembers were invited to attend a post-Vail 99 thank you party for Town of Vail
employees who contributed to the success of the World Alpine Ski Championships. The party is
from 5 to 7 p.m. March 5 at the Dancing Bear.
--Council Reports
Sybill Navas reported on a recent meeting of the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments
Water Quality/Quantity Board in which a presentation was made on the impact of magnesium
chloride as it relates to water quality. Although the report concluded magnesium chloride was
not a significant impact to water quality, Navas said the report was somewhat vague as to its
impact on air quality, soil and corrosion. Town Manager Bob McLaurin said the Colorado
Association of Ski Towns (CAST) is prepared to take an active role in determining if it will
recommend suspending use of the de-icer. Vail, Aspen and Frisco are preparing to send
samples of their products to the lab used by the Colorado Department of Transportation for
testing, McLaurin said. The work will be used to determine if any unauthorized substances
have been included in the product. Town of Vail street crews use the chemical sparingly,
according to McLaurin. It's applied to hills above 8 percent grade, the frontage roads and the
roundabouts, he said. However, if use of the chemical is suspended, the town would likely hear
(more)
~ow RECYCLEDPAPER
f
Add 1/TOV Council Highlights/2-16-99
more complaints about slick roads, he said. Through the efforts of CAST, Mayor Rob Ford and
Councilman Bob Armour said the town wants to move as quickly as possible to answer
questions about the effects of magnesium chloride in a rationale way without overreacting.
That's because other road treatments, such as salt and sand, have measurable negative
impacts on air and water quality. Sybill Navas suggested the NWCCOG Water Quality/Quantity
program partner with CAST to review'the analysis.
As a member of the Organizing Committee, Bob Armour said he represented the Town of Vail at
11 events during the World Alpine Ski Championships. He thanked the Council for allowing him
to represent them and expressed his enthusiasm for soliciting the event again in the future.
Michael Arnett said a coalition has been formed to work on the regional marketing district issue.
The group's first organizational meeting was held recently, with much work yet to be done.
--Other
Michael Arnett said he had accompanied Nina Timm of the town's housing division on a tour of
possible buy-down properties.
Bob Armour inquired if the international flags along the Frontage Road would be left up now that
the Championships have been concluded. Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer said the
flags would continue to be displayed (and replaced when necessary) through a partnership
between the town and the Vail Valley Foundation. Also, Armour described two bills in the state
legislature that may be of interest to the town. One is HB1035, which would contradict the
town's local jurisdiction over gun control laws, such as the assault weapons ban. The other is
HB1280 which would take away local control of vested property.
Sybill Navas reported that while on a trip to Florida, she encountered two people who said
they're using Vail's affordable housing regulations as a model for programs in Key West. Navas
also observed that the recent presence by the State Patrol during the World Alpine Ski
Championships has had a positive impact on slowing down traffic, which has reduced noise
along the 1-70 corridor through Vail. Also, Navas acknowledged a call from Paul Johnston, a
former councilman, who suggested the town ban semi-trucks from Vail Village. Johnston has
proposed creation of a distribution center in West Vail to help address the loading and delivery
problems in Vail Village. Navas said she believed the issue was worth pursuing.
Michael Arnett agreed that delivery trucks became an eyesore in the Village during the World
Alpine Ski Championships.
Ludwig Kurz suggested including the Beaver Creek Metropolitan District in discussions
regarding a possible distribution center. He noted that similar loading and delivery problems
have surfaced in Beaver Creek.
As a follow-up to an earlier discussion, Michael Jewett asked the town to continue to explore
office space options for councilmembers. Jewett has proposed the space be accessible 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. Also, Jewett inquired about the details of a small claims suit the
town has filed against a former employee for property damage. The former bus driver was
charged and convicted for leaving the scene of an accident in which a guard shack at Golden
Peak was destroyed. The repairs cost in excess of $4,500. In addition, saying he was
concerned about health issues and that salt and sand are better road treatments anyway, Jewett
made a motion to immediately discontinue the use of magnesium chloride in Vail and to send a
letter to the Colorado Department of Transportation asking it to do the same. Although all
Councilmembers expressed concern, the majority said a decision to suspend would be
(more)
Add 2/TOV Council Highlights/2-16-99
premature at this time, until more information becomes available. That's because alternative
treatments, salt and sand, are documented pollutants. The vote on Jewett's motion was 2-5
(Kurz, Navas, Armour, Arnett, Ford against). Also yesterday, Jewett asked the mayor to
consider allowing more time for public discussion rather than ending the discussion prematurely.
In preparation for the evening meeting discussion on community facilities, Ludwig Kurz
distributed an article that described how Beaver Creek's Village Center project has helped to
created new synergy within the village.
Kevin Foley expressed interest in learning more about a cost estimate for the installation of lights
along the Red Sandstone recreation path. Foley also inquired about the status of the lawsuits
brought against the town regarding the Common Ground affordable housing proposal.
According to Town Attorney Tom Moorhead, the town is presently preparing its response to the
plaintiffs' motion for summary judgement. The response will be filed by Feb. 26. In addition,
Foley inquired about a letter from attorney John Dunn regarding a procedural issue on the Vail
Plaza Hotel proposal. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead said all Council action will be properly
noticed. Lastly, Foley said a state law was being proposed that would eliminate sales tax on
prepared food in restaurants and grocery stores. Foley suggested finding out more about the
bill's impact, if any, on Vail's home rule status.
Evening Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Kurz, Navas
--Citizen Participation
The Council heard from Joe Staufer who made three points: 1) Congratulations to the Vail Valley
Foundation, Vail Associates, Town of Vail and the balance of the community for the tremendous
job with the World Alpine Ski Championships. The event will be good for the community for the
next 10 years. 2) Consider following up more formally with those who make a request or
suggestion to the Town Council under citizen participation. For example, Staufer says he never
heard back from the town after suggesting last fall that the town ban outdoor speakers in
residential neighborhoods. 3) Staufer, who sold his Vail Village Inn property in November, says
he's neither a partner, nor opponent, nor a proponent in the current Vail Plaza Hotel
development proposal. However, as the seller of the property, Staufer asked to receive an
explanation from the town staff as to how the Community Development Department found the
Vail Plaza Hotel proposal to be suitable to its surroundings. Mayor Rob Ford said Staufer would
receive a follow up from the town regarding both requests.
Next, Susan Mueller thanked everyone for their contributions to the success of the World Alpine
Ski Championships.
--Resolution to Extend the Holy Cross Energy Franchise Agreement
The Council voted 7-0 to approve a resolution extending the town's current franchise agreement
with Holy Cross Energy for 90 days while negotiations continue toward a new franchise
agreement. Town Manager Bob McLaurin said those negotiations include how the
undergrounding of utilities will be paid for and if the current three percent franchise fee should
remain the same. For more information, contact McLaurin at 479-2105.
--Community Facilities Program Draft Instructions
The Council voted 7-0 to advance a process for creation of a community facilities plan in
partnership with the Vail Recreation District. The approval yesterday included a list of specific
uses and sites that will be evaluated by three national design teams who'll be hired to creatively
match the list of community uses with appropriate sites. The study will be funded jointly by the
(more)
Add 31TOV Council Highlights/2-16-99
Town of Vail and the Vail Recreation District. Much of that work will be focused on adjoining
sites in Lionshead, known as the "community hub." The 4.3-acre area includes Dobson Arena,
the Vail Public Library and the Charter Bus lot east of the Lionshead parking structure. The
consultants will be asked to brainstorm creative uses of the space, so long as provisions are
made for a library and two sheets of ice somewhere within the town. In addition to the two
sheets of ice and the library, other community uses to be considered include: outdoor ice
skating rink; activity/entertainment space; snack bar/coffee house/deli; arts/crafts room;
community theater/auditorium/IMAX theater/dance floor; gymnastics facility; high tech multi-
media center, meeting rooms, learning center; skate park/skateboarding/in-line skates/BMX
bike; a pavilion/community room; and a swimming pool with a retractable cover. While
consultants will be asked to focus primarily on the community hub site in Lionshead, they'll be
asked to explore other sites for possible satellite facilities. Those sites include: the top deck of
the Lionshead parking structure; the south perimeter of the Lionshead parking structure; the
Main Vail Fire Station (assuming the fire station is relocated); the Old Town Shops; the Golf
Course Clubhouse; the Vail Racquet Club; and 9 of Vail's parks (ones containing 1 acre of
more). During public discussion, 20 citizens addressed the Council. Comments included
support for a second sheet of ice; support for expanded gymnastics facilities to accommodate a
waiting list of 240 children; a suggestion to expand the design process timetable for more
meaningful results; using restraint and discipline in narrowing the list of uses; support for a large,
indoor multi-use space for conferences and exhibition halls; a suggestion that the private sector
take responsibility to.build a conference center (since voters have defeated two proposals
previously); a suggestion to find a new use for the City Market daycare center; a request to keep
the proposals simple and community-based; support for a performing arts center; a suggestion
to use caution in trying to meet the needs of downvalley residents; support for family-centered
activities that would increase the vitality of Vail and attract others; support for a public gathering
place for open ice skating; involve kids in designing facilities meant for them; keep the concepts
realistic and down to earth; consider a phasing plan; take a creative look at the entire community
hub site; create better amenities for guests; and put as many uses underground as possible.
After summarizing Vail's community facilities ballot issue history over the years (four failures
since 1982), Mayor Rob Ford urged the community to come together to support what's best for
Vail in the future. He warned that the facilities won't be able to meet everyone's uses. Sybill
Navas, who helped spearhead the proposal, said the study should provide Vail with a master
plan for community facilities that can be phased in over time. She remained hopeful that some
of the smaller facilities, such as a swimming pool, could be built sooner rather than later. Bob
Armour raised concerns about trying to "shoehorn" too many uses onto the sites, while Ludwig
Kurz said the town should not rush toward an election until it had done its homework, including
researching the success and failure of mixed use facilities elsewhere across the country and in
Europe. Michael Arnett expressed interest in a parking needs assessment associated with the
study, a cost threshold and a plan for relocation of the charter bus lot. Michael Jewett
unsuccessfully lobbied for the study to be more specific in dictating immediate construction of a
second sheet of ice on the charter lot site. He also expressed hope that the community facilities
plan can be privately funded, due to the community's reluctance to approve public financing.
Kevin Foley expressed his appreciation for consistent themes from the audience, including an
emphasis on family and community. Foley said he hoped the study wouldn't get too outrageous
in its scope. He said he agreed with Arnett's concerns about a parking analysis and relocation
of the charter bus lot. In addition, Foley said he was pleased to see the town working together
with the VRD on the project. For more information on last night's meeting, contact Russell
Forrest in the Community Development Department at 479-2146.
--Berry Creek 5th Housing Discussion
Due to the length of the community facilities discussion, the Council voted 5-1 (Armour against)
to defer the Berry Creek 5th housing discussion to the March 2 meeting.

Re: Proposed SDD6 - Prado Amendment-
Faessler p„bJic 'Accommr,rjaLion ZonP rngtrict AZpdmenta
Dear Mayor Ford and Town Council members:
We object to the magnitude of the above amendments, as they are currently
proposed, because they adversely affect the established character of their
neighborhoods and Vail Village in general. We are in support and urge the
Town Council to approve reasonable improvements to Vail Village.
We are residential property owners in the Village Center Condominiums. We own
a condominium unit immediately adjacent to the new Sonnenalp Austria Haus. We
spoke out against the first proposal for the Austria Haus as it was
excessively large, being out of character with Vail Village, and not sensitive
to adjacent property owners. When we saw the results of the redesign, after
the Town council rejected the first proposal, we believed the project was
reasonable. We feel that the project is good, now that the building is
completed, and an improvement to the Village. We are particularly pleased
that no streamwalk was constructed. The stream bank, once it has been put
back in a natural condition, will return to its natural beauty for all to
enjoy-
We believe very strongly that new buildings should not be much taller than the
new Austria Haus and that setbacks from the stream tract and adjacent private
property should remain as they currently exist in the zoning code. We do not
favor allowing commercial uses that have street fronts in established
residential neighborhoods where currently no exterior commercial uses exist or
are allowed. We support commercial uses along street fronts where the
building is within grated pedestrian areas.

Probably the most important point to be made is our very strong feeling that
before the Town Council accepts proposals that one by one change the character
of Vail Village, that a new master plan be adopted. The new master plan
should give a long-range view and solve long-term problems, such as truck
loading and delivery, and be presented to property owners for our review and
comment.

To the Town of Vail
This is to inform you of the ongoing harassment we receive when we try to
delivery to the down town area. I am certain you do not want your visitors to
think that down town is for adults only. The business we try to run is Baby's
Away, We try very hard to please the visitors you say you want in Vail;
however when we try to deliver anywhere down town we are forced to listen
for up to 20 minutes about how we should run our business.
We try to arrange deliveries and pick ups to your schedule; some days that is
not always possible. We have been told to tell people to wake their babies up
and take the crib before 8:00am.Is this how you want your guests treated?
We have now been forced to tell people we can not give them what they
need because we are not allowed to delivery to them if they are down town.
On the occasions we have delivered we were given 15 minutes to carry
several items; including a full size wooden crib. We have noticed, however
that some companies seem to have no trouble parking on Bridge ST. even
after 11:OOam,Why? Last year we called everyone on the town council; our
calls were never returned. What do we need to do to right this wrong? We
have tried everything short of the media to fix this problem; can you please
help us work this out so we can keep Vail a family friendly place to visit?

Dear Bem- and Theresa.
This letter is in response to your letter of February 7. 1999 requesting clarification of our
loading and delivery policies in the Village Core area.
Attached is a cope of the regulations pertaining to delivery in the Village Core. These
regulations were adopted by the Town Council after a 6 month public process that
involved professional traffic management consultants, community meetings and public
hearings before Council. These regulations were actually drafted by a focus group
comprised of Village merchants. lodging managers. VillaL>e homeowners. restaurant
managers and the managers of numerous delivery companies. The process resulted in
general consensus that required give and take by all im-olved but balanced the needs of
the merchants. the lodging community. restaurants. delivery companies and our
pedestrian guests. All parties agreed that strict enforcement was required to be fair to
everyone involved. Please refer to the matrix of the attached policies. Tile only vehicles
allowed on Bridge St. after 5:30 am are vans delivering people and luggage to the lodges
located there. No other delivery vehicles are allowed on Bridge St after 5:30 am.
Delivery parking in close proximity to the Village Core is available by permit until
11:30am on Gore Creek Dr. and Hanson Ranch Road, and after 11:30 am on Hanson
Ranch Road and near the International Bridge. Permits and a two wheeled dolly (for
heavier loads) can be obtained at Check Point Charlie.
It is always possible for any delivery vehicle to park fairly close to the Village Core and a

THE CENSORED IN VAIL NEWS
IS THE PUBLIC WELCOME ON VA RUN NATIONAL FOREST PUBLIC LAND SKI AREA (NFLPSA)
Vail and Beaver Creek are to national forests as Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon are to national parks. If
the company that operates national park concessions admits its clientele is the worlds wealthiest, I don't think
America would allow them to operate public lands. The same should be true for national forests.The public is
on the verge of extinction of being welcomed in the NFPLSA VANR operates. The NFS and Mr. Gerald
Ford have refused to ensure the standards our NFPLSA operate by are upgraded to present day necessary
standards, therefore it is up to us, because if we don't save our NFPLSA from public extinction, who will?
TO OPERATE 4 NFPLSA ADAM ARON RECEIVES
a yearly $560,000 salary, a guaranteed $250,000 bonus, stocks and options, life and disability insurance, a
home worth about $1.5 million and up to $250,000 in relocation expenses and I assume insurance and a
retirement plan. Did we buy Adam a $1.5 million home in, I believe, a private neighborhood? I've asked
Adam, but he doesn't answer questions. Seems like alot of compensation to operate 4 NFPLSA. I'm not sure
it is in the best public interests to have a man who can't afford to buy a home on a $810,000 yearly salary,
running public lands. Plus all the above doesn't include his office, travel, secretary, assistants, general
expense account, etc.
SHORTLY AFTER TAKING OFFICE ADAM PROVED
his word is not worthy of believing. In 12-96 Adam told ski industry executives, "We have a 50% expansion
in the next 36 months months. 2,000 more acres in skiable terrain." Brochures claimed 2,200 acre expansion.
The NFS who approved 885 acres said, 'I don't know where they're getting that from". Only recently did
VRNA, after I spent years asking them about it, illogic it out, something like VA got 885 acres within 2,200
acres. My question is, was it just for this expansion figure, or is that how VANR has always reported skiable
acerage?
VA/VR PRINTS THEY OWN OUR NFPLSA
For some time now Adam and Andy at a minimum refuse to back up printing, VA owners and operators of
Vail and BC Mountains which was later changed to VR, owners and operators of Vail, BC, Breckenridge
and Keystone Mountains. If I believe correctly, VRNA has the privilege to own the permit to operate our
NFPLSA. It seems being allowed for years to act like VA owns our NFPLSA, VANR has actually come to
i believe it, but last time I checked although Leon has put up a hotel within a NFPLSA, the American public
still ownes these properties that have replaced Boardwalk and Park Place on Leon's personalized monopoly
board.
SHOULD NFPLSA PERMIT HOLDERS BE ALLOWED VA'S PRIVATE EMPHASIS
When the permit holders of NFPLSA are also real estate developers who develop private parking, exclusive
residences and clubs, our NFPLSA are being operated in the conflict of interest of who VANR wants to sell
i and resell exclusive real estate to and have within the doors of their private clubs. As VA advertised in a
national magazine something to the effect of, It is our goal to protect and preserve our beautiful natural
setting, VA developed land they obtained within the boundaries of the NFPLSA they have the permit to
operate, to house a private club. VA could have legally protected this land from development, preserving the
NFPLSA, providing substance to their apparently misleading promise. The NFS had advance warning this
was being planned, but refused to set standards saying the operators of NFPLSA cannot operate private
clubs, private anything. This is one of the things Bill Wood of the Minturn NFS told me I will have to get
Congress to enact laws to prevent, because Bill and the NFS refuses to update the standards operators of
NFPLSA have to operate by, but would Jack Kemp be voting as a responsible citizen or a VA private club
member?
I
BC, A NFPLSA TOPS THE ROBB REPORT, A MAGAZINE FOR LUXURY LIFESTYLE
In June 98 The Robb Report, a for the luxury lifestyle magazine, rated BC NFPLSA, the # 1 skiing
destination. Tony O'Rourke, executive director of the BC Resort Company stated, "This is significant
because these are our constituents that read this magazine. We'd rather be in a lifestyle magazine than the ski
trade magazines." He thinks the ranking is because of its image as a lifestyle resort rather than simply a ski
resort. A lifestyle of billionaires serviced by slave laborers, developed by NFPLSA permit holders. Vail got
bronze. VA with NFS permission closed BC to the public for a day, for a private birthday party for a now
convicted embezzler.
GROOMING FOR FRIENDS
Thanks Warren Miller for verifying common rumor knowledge VA grooms for friends of management and
ownership. After Frank Wells, a Walt Disney executive death Warren wrote, "And we skied together again
in Vail on Saturday and Sunday. We shared our freedom together on his favorite run, Blue Ox, a run that we
both somehow knew Vail management would have groomed on Friday night just for Frank and me to ski
on.". Even after this was printed the NFS refused to upgrade the standards NFPLSA operators operate by,
stating grooming will be done on a predetermined schedule to eliminate favors for friends. Again something
congress will have to enact laws for, but figure the odds when I have witnessed a run groomed for Jack Kemp
midday. And witnessed means, from the first of many sirens in the 1.5 hours 2 snowcats worked, to meeting
with Jack in liftline announcing 'now it is time to' go to this run, to when I assume his wife announced 'isn't
this beautiful' to I watched them ski, realizing they didn't get this groomed because they can turn them.
VR'S PRIVATE CLUB MEMBERS NEED AND GET DISCOUNTED SEASON PASSES
VR operates Breckenridge and Keystone NFPLSA for $200 an unrestricted ski pass, but VaiUBC NFPLSA
is $1425, unless you are a VA private club member, then your unrestricted pass is $850, lower than a
merchant restricted pass. Paul Witt, VR spokesperson told me private club members paid $26,000+ for a
pass because they paid $25,000 to join the club, plus dues, etc. Paul I suggest a trip to sea level to get some
oxygen to your brain. Members paid $25,000, alot of money to us, fractions of cents to them, to ensure that
when skiing a NFPLSA they can take a break in a private $5 million building, guaranteeing they do not have
to sit next to you or me, or the rest of the public. Paul insisted VA didn't give members a discount, the club
bought passes from VA then offered members a discount. Isn't it true the club operators who gave this
discount are either VA or VR. Again something congress will have to enact laws to prevent, but again where
is Jack's vote.
ON MOUNTAIN ADVERTISING
The NFS and I have been through this many times. The final outcome is when VA hangs up advertising in
direct violation to their permit to operate NFPLSA, if VA put it there then VA wants it there, and if I don't
like it I don't have to be sold a ski pass. Now I'll just inquire publically about it here. VA has hung equivalent
ads that I have gotten taken off the mountain so again NFS, is the Chevy Astro ad hung on a race course, the
Carlsberg Dog House banner and the 7 flags displaying major WASC 99 sponsors hanging at mid Vail legal
or not. I'm also wondering, if I'm on NFPLSA and am looking at a grooming report hanging on a tree, not in a
building where VA can display any advertising, and I am constantly subject to All Sport advertising, is that
ok, to me that's advertising on NFPLSA. I've suggested to VA if VA can't afford to make copies without
outside advertising funding, maybe VA shouldn't be producing these environmentally irresponsible sheets
everyday.
SHOULD NFPLSA OPERATORS OPERATE THE LANDS AS THE PUBLIC WISHES
Our NFPLSA operators and self professed community leaders, Adam Aron and Andy Daly, etc have refused
to concede to the public not wanting further expansion on wilderness areas at this time. I've read category 3
opposition was bigger than anything the NFS or local government has ever seen. The opposition so great, and
VANR's arrogance so VANR, that it prompted someone(s) to illogically set off the largest eco terrism act
on U.S. soil in our backyard. As I told the investigators, my only responsibility in this action is I haven't
displaced the men whose arrogance is responsible for it, because without VANR dictatorship this community
would not have been subject to terrorism and the now necessary security costs. I am asking Adam and Andy
to have an independent source take those polls VANR loves so much, and if the public does not want their
public lands developed, then as the men with the privilege to have the permit to operate NFPLSA, you will
concede to the owner of these lands, the publics wishes, and if you won't then, because of your dictatorship
and the above highlights of your abuse of the operation of NFPLSA, Adam Arrogance and Andy Dictator,
once again I am asking for the resignation of all top level VA management and ownership from further abuse
of public lands.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING ISSUES PROBED IN COUNTYWIDE SURVEY;
DOOR-TO-DOOR DISTRIBUTION SET FOR FEB. 26-28
(Vail)--A comprehensive housing survey will be randomly distributed to about 4,000
households throughout Eagle County next week as local governments look to gain a better
understanding of the region's affordable housing needs and possible solutions.
The surveys will be hung on every third door of local households throughout Gypsum, Eagle,
Avon, Eagle-Vail, Minturn, Red Cliff and Vail, as well as Edwards, Beaver Creek and other
unincorporated areas of Eagle County. Local jurisdictions from throughout the county are
participating in the study, with the Town of Vail serving as the lead agency.
Distribution will occur Feb. 26-28. Responses are due March 10.
In addition to the household survey, housing researchers will be gathering feedback from
employers as well as those who commute here from outside Eagle County.
Results from all three surveys will be used to update a countywide housing needs assessment
from 1990, according to Andy Knudtsen, project manager for the Town of Vail. The 1990 study
played a key role in creating public-private partnerships that were used to develop the Eagle
Bend apartments in Avon and the Lake Creek apartments in Edwards, Knudtsen said. "While
the 1990 study has been valuable, we're finding the need to update this research as the
demographics within the valley have changed- significantly," he said. "Also, we want to
understand the overall impact when housing costs increase faster than wages, which has been

Add 1/Housing Survey
the trend for the past 10 years."
Through the survey, residents will be asked specifically about housing affordability, location
preferences and the demand for particular types of housing, such as duplexes, condominiums,
townhomes and modular homes, for example. The household survey also will be used to
assess current housing policies and regulations, such as resale price caps through deed
restrictions, as well as proposed policies that include commercial linkage and inclusionary
zoning. Commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning would require affordable housing to be
provided at the time of development. One applies to commercial development, the other to
residential.
The employer survey will probe needs and impacts, as well as employers' willingness to
participate in employee assistance programs such as master leasing of rental units, providing
mortgage guarantees or subsidies, constructing employee housing, or assisting employees in
other ways. In addition, employers will be asked to evaluate a list of proposed housing policies
that include incentives such as density bonuses and development fee waivers for development
of employee housing.
Commuters will be interviewed on the regional bus routes from Leadville, where they'll be
asked to share their housing and transportation preferences.
Town planners from Gypsum, Eagle, Avon, Minturn, Vail and Eagle County have assisted in
development of the three-prong survey. David Carter, Eagle County's housing coordinator, says
the study has been designed to probe pertinent issues from one end of the county to the other.
"We're hoping to continue that widespread participation with a high percentage of return rates
from those who receive the survey," Carter said. Results will not only guide the future direction
of public policy throughout the region, but also the level of participation by the private sector,
according to Carter "It's important that the data we obtain be as comprehensive and complete

r
Add 2/Housing Survey
as possible so that local decision makers will have an accurate understanding of the need and a
clearer vision for solutions," he said. "Therefore, if you receive a survey, or you're asked to fill
one out, we encourage you to participate to ensure the accuracy of our random sample."
Results from all three surveys will be available in late April.
Because the study will provide the ability to isolate results by jurisdiction, local governments
throughout Eagle County have been eager to endorse the effort and the associated benefits,
according to Carter. Those tangibles include
• quantify the demand for different types of affordable housing
• gain a better understanding of the relative importance and severity of the housing needs
in each jurisdiction and throughout the county
• gage the level of public support for potential policies
• facilitate the private sector's development of affordable community housing by providing
market data that can be used to appropriately design and finance residential projects
• plan for future housing impacts connected with anticipated commercial growth
• facilitate the development of affordable housing by providing market data that can be
used to appropriately design projects (affordable rent/mortgage levels, bedroom mix, unit
type, amenities, location)
• provide information on demand needed to obtain project financing
• lay groundwork for joint participation with regional adoption of standards and policies
recommended by the study
• provide a reliable, unbiased source of information for elected officials and staff to use
when evaluating private sector proposals
• provide local demographic and commuter data to support various other planning-related
projects including transportation/transit, day care, recycling, schools, parks/recreation,
etc.
The $22,000 study is being funded by the Town of Vail, Eagle County, Town of Eagle and Vail
Associates. Those entities have contracted with Melanie Rees, a Boulder-based housing
consultant, who has conducted similar assessments in Gunnison-Crested Butte, Telluride,
Aspen and in Ketchum-Sun Valley, Idaho.

Vail Employers, Business Owners:
Recognizing that resort employees are our greatest resource, the Town of Vail-Vail
Associates Community Task Force* has taken steps to improve upon our philosophy of
being "employers of choice" throughout the community.
As a small step, we've printed two hand-outs for distribution to employees throughout
Vail. One is a listing of useful phone numbers for employees to share with guests; the
other is a summary of the many employee benefits available to those who are willing to
make the financial sacrifice to live in such a great place. We hope you'll distribute
these resources to your employees. The phone numbers are laminated and have been
conveniently designed to be clipped to the ski pass your employees may already be
wearing.
Although these first actions are modest in scope, it is our hope that many more actions
will be launched in the future through your participation and support.
If you have other ideas that would enhance our role as employers of choice, please

Dear ,'vlessrs. Ford and McLaurin:
As a resident of The Vail Valley for the past seven years, I would like to share
some thoughts with you. Since our family's arrival, there has not been a single day go by
that I have not experienced the many blessings which those who live in other parts of the
country most possibly never know about. Our teenagers have spent years in both the
private and public school systems, our family has lived in both ends of the Valley, and we
have many friends in all segments of the Valley's population. Having lived in one of the
two largest cities in the United States for over forty years, I know personally of the many
real blessings which those of us who are lucky enough to live in this Valley share daily.
Sitting under the stars and that glorious full moon the other night at the Opening
Ceremonies for the World Championships, I was struck by a sense of appreciation and
serenity that I believe only a small segment of the World's population may ever
experience. I simply want to thank everyone who works so diligently every single day to
make this Valley the place that it is. With people in the Valley like Andy Daly and John
Garnsev, it simply doesn't get any better than this. I hope that those in this Valley who
find a "half empty cup" will allow themselves to seek one that is "half full." As we
continue to work toward making this Valley even better for everyone, I pray that everyone
will stop often in his or her daily routine and let the wonders of this Valley surround
them. Allow themselves to get involved in all of the areas available to them such as
volunteering for the Vail Valley Foundation. My experience working for this dedicated
group has been so worthwhile and a great deal of fun.
Thank you one and aIP
Yours truly,
Sharron Finch

Dear Honorable Ford:>
I am writing to let you know about a community service project about which we are very
excited. On February 25, a representative of The Weather Channel will come here to speak to
three classes at Berry Middle School about weather safety. The speaker, Tom Baker, will focus
on preparedness for severe winter weather, especially relevant for our area of course.
Mr. Baker, a teacher himself, will be distributing to students a *Family Disaster Plan*
which was produced by The Weather Channel to encourage families to discuss and make plans
for dealing with a weather-related emergency. Classes can qualify for a special certificate of
recognition from The Weather Channel if every member of the class turns in a completed form.
We think that by creating awareness of preparedness in the younger folks, the project
can be expected to help the entire community to prevent the weather-related accidents and
casualties that can happen here. We are pleased to be joining The Weather Channel in this
project which is based on Project SafeSide, a co-sponsored campaign of TWC and the American
Red Cross that has reached millions of people throughout the U.S. Please call me for further
information about this community awareness program.
Yours Trull

Town of Vail
Subject: Faessler proposal
The Faessler proposal to amend the Public Accommodation Zone
District is reported to be on the February 22, 1999, Planning and
Environmental Commission agenda.
I would like to register my strong opposition to this proposal. Our
neighborhood is currently residential in character and this would
totally destroy that character. Our street already has traffic
congestion from the delivery trucks and the (unlawful) unloading and
pick up of skiers. This would greatly increase the traffic on the street
on the street and add far more pedestrians to the already crowded
street.
We purchased our home with the understanding that the lodges in the
area would stay lodges and a change to making the area a shopping
district would certainly have a detrimental effect on the value of that
home. In addition I fail to see how taking what is currently lodge
space and converting it to stores will help with the need for more
accommodations. It would appear to me that this amendment would
allow lodges to convert rooms to stores further adding to the acute
problem of employee housing.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Town Council Member,
I have received a letter from the developers of the VVI site, requesting me to sign
a letter approving their plan for redevelopment. While much of what is said in the
letter is true, I am concerned that many people will sign it without knowing enough
about the developers' plans. The bulk and height of the plan is way out of proportion
to what should be built in Vail Village. I urge you to insist that the plan be scaled down
in harmony with the Village.
I am also very concerned about how the Town staff and PEC encouraged the
applicant to design a building which is way beyond established guide lines. The same
thing happened to the developers of the Austria House. The cost of building in Vail is
very high and adding design cost for a plan that cannot be used is very unfair. It would
seem that both the staff and PEC must be made to comply with the directions of the
Council.
.Sincerely,

Mr. Tom Moorhead, General Counsel
Town of Vail

Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Tom,
This regards TCI and its refusal to provide FM and therefore classical music on
FM to its audience, a service which it provided its Vail customers for the nearly
15 years l have lived here.
I have spoken and corresponded with the local manager of TCI, Mr. Fred Lutz, to
beseech him to provide Vail with a service which many of us enjoyed pursuant to
the earlier contracts with the Town of Vail. Mr. Lutz response was not only
hostile to me, he rudely noted that shareholder value was all he and TCI cared
about. Since we, who listen to classical music on FM were a minority, we had no
standing to make a request that would take up one of his "profitable" channels.
I beg to differ with Mr. Lutz. His company has a monopoly in this valley and as
such, in accordance with my understanding of the Sherman Antitrust Act, a
monopoly, today, must be regulated if it is allowed to exist. We who listen to
music on FM-and pay TCI a handsome sum--have as much right to enjoy our
desired cable product as anyone watching a television program.
In accordance with our conversation earlier this week, I have written to the board
at Bravo, Colorado, the entity which hosts our classical music concerts in the
summer, and have been assured that you will receive letters from them. A copy
of my letter to them is attached. I am also sending a modification of this letter to
each local newspaper in the hope they will publish it in "Letters to.the Editor",
thereby alerting other citizens in the valley. Hopefully that will provide additional
letters, as the group which listens to classical music in this valiey is quire iarge.
Finally, for the record, I am really tired of having to deal with TCI as a monopoly.
The TV picture which we receive in East Vail-though I generally only watch
news--is unsatisfactory. The fact that TCI has the lazy habit of running cable
across yards, above ground, is unsatisfactory and probably dangerous. To be
arbitrarily told that as a minority customer, I have no standing to make a request
for continuation of a service which has been available for 15 years is ludicrous
and obscene. And the generally arrogant attitude which Lutz and TCI have is
unacceptable. TCI, as a monopoly, clearly needs better regulatory enforcement
by the Town of Vail, or we citizens should be given a choice of other vendors. In
East Vail, because of the terrain and the TCI monopoly, we don't have another
choice. And that needs to be remedied.

underscore the need for TO to service all its customers.

MEMORANDUM
TO: PAULA CANEPA, BRAVO, COLORADO O Lj~
FROM: JEFF Bowen
SUBJECT: PRESSURING TCI TO AGAIN PROVIDING CLASSICAL FM IN VAIL
DATE: 18 FEBRUARY 1999
TCI has provided FM service on its cable for the 15 years we have lived here,
which has allowed us to enjoy classical music from WFMT in Chicago and KCFR
in Denver. There was also a very good jazz station which was available, the call
letters for which I have forgotten. TCI arbitrarily cut FM off last summer; the
excuse was they decided they could use the channel more profitably.
After several conversations and letters to Fred Lutz, the local manager, the
response to again receiving FM was negative and rather nasty. "Shareholder
value is all we care about."
After a conversation with Tom Moorhead, general counsel for the Town of Vail--
and a classical music listener--Tom suggested that the town has a bit of leverage
over TCI right now. He noted that if he could receive as many letters as possible,
within the next two weeks, it would help him negotiate on our and his behalf.
A group of letters from Bravo, its members and board would therefore be very
instrumental in getting classical FM back on our stereo systems. I am preparing
a letter to Tom, and I think I will send another letter to the editors of each paper,
in the hope that other members of the community will join in the effort.
Letters should go to: Mr. Thomas Moorhead, General Counsel, Town of Vail, 75
South Frontage Road West, Vail, Colorado 81657.
