maintained would not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties or

Village 7th. (5 mins.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Uphold, overturn or modify
the PEC approval of the tunnel.
a
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The request is for a minor
amendment to the Gold Peak development plan to allow for the
construction of a tunnel under a race course. The tunnel would
improve skier access to Ski Club Vail, Pinos del Norte condos and
North Woods condos. Currently, skiers must cross the race
course on Ruder's Route. This crossing has the potential for skier
collisions. The tunnel would greatly reduce the potential for
collisions. The tunnel would be about 200' long, 20'8" wide and
10' high. The tunnel would be located under Ruder's Route ski
run, west of Gold Peak chair #6, at about the 8300' elevation.
The Municipal Code provides for staff approval of minor
amendments to development plans. Staff approved the request
on April 9, subject to the following conditions. Please see
attached staff letter.
1. A grading plan shall be approved by the Public Works
Department.
2. The design of the tunnel entrance and exit shall be
approved by the Design Review Board.
On April 12, the Planning and Environmental Commission
discussed the staff approval and did not call it up, thereby
approving the request.
Staff understands that the appellant's concerns are based on the
appearance of the tunnel. Please see attached appeals form.
The design of the tunnel is scheduled for review by the Design
Review Board on May 19th. The Municipal Code provides for
appeals of DRB decisions. This seems like the appropriate
avenue to address the appearance of the tunnel.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Council table this
item until the DRB has had the opportunity to review the proposal.
