Planning & Environmental Commission held a public hearing on the major amendment

District; and
WHEREAS., all notices as required by the Town of Vail Municipal Code have been sent to

EMPLOYEE HOUSING GENERATION ANALYSIS
The staff analysis below indicates a recommended figure which was used in determining the employee housing
needs of the Antlers Condominiums. The applicant is proposing to provide deed-restricted housing for 90% of the
new employees generated by the redevelopment. A summary of the Employee Housing Generation Analysis is as
follows:
Staff Recommended Ranee Calculations:
The staff believes that the Antlers Condominiums will create a need for 9.6 (10) additional employees. Of the
additional employees, at least 2.8 (3) employees (30%) will need to be provided deed-restricted housing by the
developers.
a) Multi-Family Dwelling Units =24 units @,(.4/unit) = 9.60 employees
Total = 9.60 employees
(X 0.30 multiplier) = 2.88 new employees
Depending upon the size of the employee housing unit provided, it is possible to have up to two
employees per bedroom. For example, a two-bedroom unit in the size range of 450 - 900 square feet,
is possible of accommodating three to four employees. These figures are consistent with the
requirements for the Type III employee housing units outlined in the Municipal Code.
PROS & CONS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
Pros
- The upgrading of an existing outdated building in Lionshead
- The implementation of the recommended streetscape improvements
- The mitigation of directly related off-site impacts
- An increase in the supply of deed-restricted housing in Lionshead
- The elimination of a surface parking lot
Cons
- No new accommodation units are being proposed
- All of the required parking is not being provided
- The opportunity for redevelopment is not being fully capitalized upon
- More improvements could be implemented to the existing building

Antlers Redevelopment
Open Space and Recreational Plan
Open Space:
The proposed Antlers redevelopment should not have any impact on open space per se.
The entire site coverage of the new structure is currently an unattractive, surface parking
lot.
For over twenty years the Antlers has maintained the Town of Vail tract located just east
of the property. Trees and sod were planted in the early seventies. A sprinkler system
was installed shortly after that. All lawn care and plant maintenance has been at the
Antlers' expense. Likewise, the lawn and flower beds adjacent to the bike path just south
of the building have been planted and maintained by the Antlers. Much of that is also on
public property. The Condominium Association would be happy to make a commitment
to continue this practice in the future.
Recreation Plan:
Since 1992 the Antlers has had an ongoing agreement with the Vail Recreation District.
The Antlers provides housing at no charge to the District whenever there is a need;
whether for camp coaches, tournament referees, special events or job applicants. In
exchange for this, the Antlers guests and owners enjoy free access to some of the
District's facilities such as the Lionshead tennis courts, public skating at Dobson Ice
Arena and the Nature Center.
There are some limits to availability on both sides, but in-Owpast seven years the Antlers
has provided 745 nights of complimentary lodging under this program. The retail value of
that lodging has been $105,320. This is a classic case of a "win-win", public/private
partnership. By using excess capacity at little or no cost to the Rec. District, the Antlers
has been able to promote a free benefit for its guests. Those visitors have enjoyed and
utilized recreation amenities that they otherwise may not have, adding to their overall Vail
experience.
680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (970) 476-2471 FAx (970) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net
The Rec. District has been able to save significant funds that they can presumably put
back into programs and infrastructure, which in turn provides a better experience for
everyone. The Antlers has committed significant time, energy and money into the
promotion of this program, and has no intentions of letting it drop.
Although entertainment and education may not fall under the strict definition of
"recreation", we think that they too, are an integral part of the Vail experience for both
guests and residents. The 745 nights of complimentary housing provided to the
Recreation District pale in comparison to the cumulative amount given to a plethora of
other organizations in the Vail Valley. These include, but are not limited to:
Echo Ranch
Vail Tomorrow
Trout Unlimited
Vail Symposium
Bravo! Colorado
Ducks Unlimited
Vail Arts Festival
Special Olympics
Vail Jazz Foundation
Jimmy Huega Center
The Resource Center
Vail Valley Foundation
Vail Recreation District
Better Business Bureau
Vail Community Theatre
Drug Free Eagle County
Vail / Eagle Valley Rotary
Vail Valley Tourism Bureau
Colorado Children's Chorale
Vail International Dance Festival
Lift Your Spirits in the Vail Valley
Lionshead Merchants Association
Eagle Valley Friends of the Dance
Eagle Valley Family Assistance Fund
Vail Valley Business/Education Alliance
While it may not be possible to make everlasting firm commitments to each of these
programs, the Antlers has a distinguished twenty-six year history of .ongoing community
involvement. This is not going to change, although the additional units associated with
the proposed redevelopment will help allow that support to grow even more in the future.
ANTLER~ AT ~klL
September 14, 1998
: The proposed redevelopment of the Antlers Condominiums has become known as
"Antlers 2000". Its sole purpose is to bring our property up to the standard's of the-
coming century, both in terms of the aesthetics that Vail deserves and the
functionality that our visitors expect. A summary of the project includes:
Demolish the existing parking structure (this includes the entry foyer, lobby,
some offices and all meeting facilities)
Rebuild the parking structure with 106 underground spaces
Construct an attractive motor court with 8 short term parking spaces for arrival-,
drop-off, van pick-up, etc.
Construct all new lobby/reception area, offices and conference facilities
Construct 24 new condominiums (for sale) with a mixture of two, three
and four bedrooms
Construct 7 units of employee housing (for rent)
Replace all siding and railings on the existing building to match the exterior
of the new construction
Install fire suppression sprinklers throughout the existing building, as well as
the new construction
Like much of Lionshead, the Antlers was built in 1972 by developers looking to make
a quick buck. Attention to quality and detail is generally absent in both the
architecture, as well as the building infrastructure. While it may be possible to assess
the ownership over time for all of the essential improvements, most likely those
assessments would turn out to be "band-aids" for the worst elements of the property,
without significant enhancements being made. They would most likely take place
piecemeal over time, and would certainly not effect meaningful strides toward the
implementation of the Lionshead masterplan.
As one example of this, without the complete redevelopment plan, the Condominium
Association needs to spend $500,000 on the parking structure just to extend its
useful life 10 - 15 more years. This would be a substantial commitment from the
owners, with absolutely no visual or functional improvement to the property. By
comparison, Antlers 2000 will result in virtually all of the parking going underground,
yielding much improved aesthetics for the entire neighborhood.
Another example of the benefit associated with larger redevelopment is the ability to
incorporate a meaningful number of employee housing units into the project. This
just won't happen without the sales of additional units to subsidize their cost.
680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (970) 476-2471 FAx (970) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net
Our hope is to start construction in the spring of 1999. In order to do that we must
begin the Town of Vail entitlement process now. We have been prepared to submit-
our application for some time, but have been waiting for completion of the Lionshead
masterplan. We regret that we must begin the process now, under the Special
Development District guidelines; but sincerely hope that our project will meet all of
the eventual criteria of the masterplan. We would like nothing better than to convert
our application from an SDD to one of "conforming use" if and when the completed
masterplan will accommodate it.
There are currently 70 individually owned condominiums in the Antlers. The
redevelopment would increase that number to 94. There will also be seven new
employee housing units on site. Other than those two changes, the nature and uses
of the property will be identical to today's. The common areas will obviously be much
improved, which we expect to help increase our short-term rental business.
The anticipated construction schedule has parking lot demolition in late April, 1999.
The building will be closed to rentals for seven months. By next December we
expect to have the parking lot completed, as well as the new lobby and offices. The
superstructure of the new condominiums will be complete and hopefully under roof.
That will enable us to re-open for hotel operations, although with the appropriate
forewarning to our guests that the property is still under construction. The new units,
the conference facilities and the employee housing will all be completed between -
December, 1999 and July, 2000. Landscaping and all final details will be completed
by September, 2000.
In addition to improving the property for our own self interest, we firmly believe that
there are a number of important community benefits associated with Antlers 2000.
These obviously include the improved appearance from every direction and the
creation of on-site employee housing. Less tangible, but perhaps even more
important is having someone to show the rest of Lionshead that large scale
redevelopment is in fact possible. Condominium associations make up eighty
percent of Lionshead. It is absolutely daunting to them to consider this type of
project. If we really hope to see significant improvements to Lionshead, it will help to
have someone set the example. We at the Antlers would like to be that example.

Subject: Antlers 2000 / Design Considerations
Friends,
Like the Town of Vail, we desperately want to improve the aesthetics in our little corner
of Lionshead. Indeed, our initial motivation for the whole Antlers 2000 project was
simply to dress up the building.
We have wrestled with the desire to move as architecturally far away from our existing
building as possible (for obvious reasons), yet the hope that the end result would not
appear as two separate properties. We welcome the fact that whatever exterior finish
goes on the new structure (stucco & stone?) will be retrofitted over the existing building
as well. The prospect of ridding ourselves of T-111 forever is a joyous one we knew
you'd like that too.
In addition to the existing T-111, the rest of the current exterior is made up of exposed
aggregate. Since that cannot functionally be changed, our hope is to match its color
and incorporate the texture of the round rocks, albeit much larger, with a river rock
facade similar to that found on the new gondola building.
We realize that our proposed roof pitch is less than that suggested by the Lionshead
masterplan, but our intentions to make the new structure "fit" with the old one directed
us to match the existing 3/12 pitch. In response to initial feedback, we have now
incorporated dormers into the roof form in order to increase the interest and articulation.
680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (970) 476-2471 FAx (970) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net
s
Eliminating our parking lot "front door' is clearly a huge improvement, and we have tried
to incorporate the "entry gate" theme from the masterplan recommendations. As you
approach the building driving south on Lionshead Circle, the new structure will (happily)
almost completely hide the existing building behind it. However, since the existing
building is still about nine feet taller than the new construction, the skyline will not be
changed until you get quite close to the Antlers.
Initial reaction to our plans has been generally positive. However, there have been
some suggestions that we need to move even further away from any elements of the
existing building. We would then need to incorporate more changes to the older part in
order to make it all cohesive. While these goals are admirable, I beg you to consider
the difficulty in gaining the necessary consensus from a condominium association. I
certainly don't mean to suggest compromising our objectives in any way. However, I
hope you agree that significant improvement, while perhaps shy of perfection, is still far
better than the status quo.
Thanks very much for your time, we're looking forward to working with you through the
process and building a product that will be a huge improvement for us as well as for
Lionshead and the Town of Vail.

To: Town of Vail Staff, PEC, DRB and Town Council
From: Robert LeVine, General Manager
Date: 9/14/98
Subject: Antlers 2000 / Condominium Rentals
Friends,
Like the Town of Vail, we want to insure that any new condominiums will be actively
rented. While not sure how to guarantee that outcome, we are confident that we can effect
it. We think our history proves that.
Currently 69 out of the 70 Antlers units are actively rented. In the past twenty years there
have never been more than two units which were not in the rental program. Last year our
paying occupancy was 56% and total occupancy with owners, guests and comps was
61 Those numbers have been generally very steady, although increasing slightly over
the years. This has not happened by accident. We have taken several measures to
insure the rental of our condominiums, and plan to do the same with the new units.
Perhaps most important is the association's decision to set the condominium fees (fixed
costs) relatively high and the rental split relatively low. That split is currently 64% to the
owner and 36% to the association. Someone who doesn't rent their unit has only the high
fixed costs, but those who do rent see their fees offset with a higher percentage of the
rental income. This scenario tends to attract buyers who are generally interested in renting
their units from the outset. There has been discussion by our board of directors about
returning even more of the rental dollars to the owners, and increasing regular
assessments still further.
Almost every Antlers owner uses their unit during the course of the year. Many of them let
friends and family use it extensively. We encourage that use. Despite the fact that the
association gets no income from it, we recognize the utility of that usage and the important
role it plays in their total satisfaction as an owner. Doing otherwise might discourage their
willingness to rent their condominium the rest of the time.
680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (970) 476-2471 FAx (970) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net
Maintenance costs and housekeeping fees are extremely reasonable to those owners who
rent their units. We charge a maximum of $20 per hour for our maintenance staff time,
including modest electrical, plumbing.and.even some remodeling work. For housekeeping,
owners pay just a $29 check-out fee when they stay in their unit for a week. They get full
daily maid service at no charge. Similarly priced services are not offered to those who
don't participate in the rental program.
Something happened recently which demonstrates our association's commitment to a
strong rental program. You need to understand that the Antlers has a twenty day right-of-
first-refusal period during which any existing owner (or group of owners) can match the
terms and conditions of a bona fide offer and in effect "steal" a contract from a prospective
condominium buyer.
Last year someone contracted to buy an Antlers one-bedroom condominium for $230,000.
They made it clear that they did not intend to rent the unit. Within two weeks an LLC was
formed and twenty-four existing Antlers owners agreed to put in $10,000 each. Their
intent was to buy the unit just to keep it in the rental program. One of those owners then
agreed to buy the unit themselves and keep it as a rental. They ultimately did so, but the
LLC exists today and most of those owners are still prepared to act if necessary.
The projected price point on our new units is $425 per square foot. While this certainly
seems high, it's not too much more than the $368 price of the last Antlers sale. We think
that recent prices of six and eight hundred dollars per foot in Vail Village attract a clientele
not inclined to rent their units. While we expect the new Antlers units to be better quality
than the existing units, they will at least be in the same league; nicer than anything else in
"Lionshead, but not "trophy home" material.
Our understanding is that requiring someone to rent their unit gets onto very shaky legal
ground. We have been told that doing so would require us to register with the SEC and
sell these units as securities. If the Town of Vail can help us figure out a way to do it, we
would be more than happy to cooperate. However, short of that, we hope you understand
that we have the very same vested interest as the Town in keeping all of our
condominiums as "live beds". We will do everything we can to make sure that happens.

Subject: Antlers 2000 / Parking Requirements
Friends,
There are currently 70 parking spaces at the Antlers. With 69 condominiums, 2 employee
housing units and a staff of twenty on any given day, we rarely, if ever, run out of parking. We
estimate that more than half our guests arrive via shuttle service during the winter. That
number is far less during the summer, but still about 15 - 20%. More than half of our staff
carpool to work, and always has.
Occasionally during a summertime weekend we need to ask a couple of our employees to
park in the Lionshead Structure. During the winter it is never a problem. As a matter of fact,
we generally have so much excess capacity that there are quite a number of other "special
friends" who park at the Antlers regularly. These include two VVTCB employees, family
members and friends of our staff, several ex-owners who now own property down-valley and
more than a few past Antlers guests who sometimes drive up for the day. Not to mention the
number of locals who know that Rob doesn't know how to say "no".
We are totally confident that with an increase of 24 rental units and 7 units of employee
housing, along with a commensurate increase of 40 parking spots, we will have even more
excess parking capacity than we do currently. If necessary, we are prepared to tell some
number of the employees living on-site that they are not allowed to keep a car on property.
We currently have four employees living on-site. They own a total of two cars.

Vail Town Council (VTC) and Suzanne Silverthorne,
Again at the 6-15-99 VTC meeting Rob Ford and the rest of the town council ensured your continued intentional
deceptive information is not truthfully countered allowing only 3 minutes for public participant speakers. You know that
in 3 minutes I could not make you understand the problem you refuse and/or simply don't have the mental ability to
understand. What I was going to say is on file in the Sheriffs office, for I forwarded them a copy of exactly what I wasn't
allowed to say right after the meeting, I assume it is dated and timed on the fax. I am asking that the third Tuesday in
July the council give me 20 minutes as part of your agenda to speak uninterupted. Maybe longer depending on how long
it takes me to ensure your attention and counter VTC eastern european like outbursts, insisting I cannot speak because I
present the truth to your continued intentional deceptive information. This time cannot be held against me. Please
respond in writing to my address which Suzanne has and the sheriffs office.
Secondly, Suzanne you will not follow me out of the meeting and to the parking lot and not let me leave so you can
plead with me to have respect for you and to not include you in with the TOV well documented intentional deceptive
information that has gone out while you have been employed as the TOV Community Mis-Information Officer. You
accused me of sending you a rude letter. I sent you a truthful letter which apparently hit a nerve because I am right, you
are very much a part of the intentional deceptive information the TOV distributes on a constant and continual basis. You
also verbally abused me because I said I requested information that you did not send. You were right, you sent me some
information 4 years ago, but further requests for information I was directed to Holly, who never sent me information I
requested. As I said in the letter it was unedited and off the top of my head. Two things here, that letter would have never
gone out if the TOV had simply sent me the information I requested, but the TOV didn't, instead you sent me a waste of
paper letter addressing me to your website which did not have the information I requested, but it did have your continued
intentional deceptive misrepresentation about the TOV's environmental stance. And even with a second reply for
information, I still have not received it, and if I had as I told you, I would have corrected my not complete at the time of
faxing the letter recollection that it was not you who did not send information, it was the son of a bitch Holly who didn't
for about 2 years did not forward me information I requested. I am not apologizing here, had you sent me the requested
information that letter would have never gone out, but again your letter lacking my requested information proved once
again the TOV will not provide me requested information. And Suzanne for the record, as I told you in our private chat I
tried to get away from numerous times and was not allowed to by your continued harassment, I have as much respect for
you as you deserve, and as you inaccurately stated to me, you respect me, well no you don't and you haven't respected
me, your public or the environment for the 5-7 years you have with intentional deception misrepresented the TOV
environmental position. If you respected me or the environment, I wouldn't have to continue to humuliate myself
attending your meetings just to prove your continued intentional deception. Suzanne, as is documented at the Sheriffs
office, I was going to ask for your resignation, and I hope to on the third Tuesday in July I will be able to, and if I have to
I will get a restraining order to ensure you do not hold me against my will, keeping my car door open so I cannot leave,
so you can repeately state you present truthful information and that I have to have respect for you. Suzanne I don't
believe you, I don't think a jury will believe you, but you keep convincing yourself you are not part of this intentional
deceptive mis-information, but not on my time. I told you repeately to let me go, I would not spend my time talking to
you privately when I cannot talk to you in public. Still you would not let me go, you followed me to the parking lot and
at one point made me shake hands that we would work together. I said lets go shake on this in front of the camera, you
wouldn't. You had paper and a pen, I said give it to me in writing. You wouldn't. At that point, at the bottom of the steps
outside of the building, I pointed my finger at you and said I do not talk to Vail's politically correct one on one because I
have been made promises in the past that have never been delievered on. I went to my car and you followed me there and
held my car door open so I could not leave. Suzanne, I had expressed and continued to express I wanted to leave, and you
wouldn't let me. I did not want and should not have had to spent time hearing you plea to not include you in as you put it,
'what they've done', 'don't include me with them', continued intentional misrepresentation.
I am asking the Sheriff office to review the TOV tape from the black bulb in the municipal building ceiling, which will
show Suzanne following me out of the meeting twice, the first time to inform me that those weren't 2 police officers here
for me, they are firemen, and the second where I was verbally attacked in the hallway and potentially the camera in the
bulb goes outside, showing Suzanne and me near the steps, and the long time until Suzanne reentered the municipal
building, during which she was holding me against my will, holding my car door open so I could not leave, as she was
filling me with propaganda I with well documented TOV actions, could not buy into. I am asking the TOV not to destroy
these tapes and that the Sheriffs office view them and get a copy of them asap.
I want the Green Starless information I requested about 2 weeks ago, and the minimum 20 minutes I need to address the
council scheduled on the third Tuesday in July VTC meeting. Again this is not the best letter I have ever written, it is
unedited, because I spend entirely too much time standing up to your continual intentional deceptive misrepresentation.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR JUNE 15
Work Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Kurz
--Employee Recognition
The Council recognized John Ervin, a bus driver, for 15 years of service and Jack Owen, a
welder, for 10 years, respectively.
--Appeal of Planning and Environmental Commission Decision re: Approval of Temporary
Modular Classroom at Vail Mountain School
The Council voted 3-1 (Foley against) to uphold approval of a conditional use permit to allow for
a temporary modular classroom at Vail Mountain School to expire on July 1, 2000, with the
option to extend the approval to July 1, 2001, so long as school officials present the town with a
long-range master plan for the facility within the first year. Barb Schofield, a school
representative, told the Council yesterday that a long range planning process for the school is
underway. She noted the modular classroom expansion is necessary, in part, to meet the
demand caused by discontinuation of high school classes by the Charter School. Additional
conditions placed upon the approval include landscaping and exterior improvements, as well as
a notation that a request for an additional extension of the two-year approval will be denied. In
voting against the motion, Councilman Foley had previously offered support for a two-year
approval without the condition of a master plan. For more information, contact George Ruther in
the Community Development Department at 479-2145. Also yesterday, Councilman Bob
Armour raised a procedural question regarding the steps Council needs to "call-up" actions
taken by the Design Review Board and Planning and Environmental Commission. Town
Attorney Tom Moorhead has indicated a "call up" by Town Council is, in essence, an appeal,
which triggers the same notification as required by appeals from private property owners. The
Council agreed to continue the discussion at an upcoming work session.
--PEC Report
During a review of the most recent Planning and Environmental Commission meeting,
Councilmembers inquired about the status of an application to modify the Public
Accommodation Zone District, which will be scheduled for Council consideration in early to mid
July. Councilmembers also asked about the status of the Antlers redevelopment proposal.
During final review of the Antlers project Monday, the PEC issued a parking pay-in-lieu
requirement for 34 spaces, or a total of $610,000, based on the town's current parking
regulations under the Lionshead Master Plan. PEC members then suggested the Antlers

change its application to a Special Development District which would provide the project the
ability to request a parking variance. During the Council update, Russell Forrest, Community
Development Director, said the current parking regulations have become a regulatory hurdle and
that efforts are underway to undertake a comprehensive parking demand study. Also yesterday,
the Council inquired about the Vail Recreation District's proposal to expand the locker rooms at
Dobson Arena. The item was tabled to allow time for completion of new drawings. For more
information on the PEC items, contact George Ruther in the Community Development
Department at 479-2145.
--Discussion of a New Housing Zone District and Potential Changes to Employee Housing .
Chapter
After a presentation outlining possible revisions to the town's employee housing regulations, as
well as a proposed new affordable housing zone district, the Council directed the town's
planning division to continue working on the concepts, noting that additional refinements are in
order. The proposed code revisions are meant to remove some of the barriers in developing
employee housing and to add incentives, such as increased site coverage and density credits.
The concept of a new housing zone district also was presented. As proposed, the new zone
district could be applied to existing projects, such as Vail Commons, as well as future housing
projects to ensure that once developed, they would remain as employee housing in perpetuity.
Also discussed yesterday was the possibility of additional enforcement measures the town could
take to require occupancy of all employee housing units townwide. The discussion prompted
comments from several citizens. Harry Gray, a contractor, called the proposed modifications a
step in the right direction, but suggested the need for additional incentives to "sweeten the deal."
Galen Aasland, a member of the Planning and Environmental Commission, said the town would
lose trust from its citizens if it went back to enforce EHU occupancy for units approved under the
old guidelines. Chuck Ogilby, a member of the Vail Tomorrow Affordable Housing Team,
commended the Council, and suggested consideration of additional community incentives, such
as a free ski pass for people who provide employee housing units. Longtime resident Diana
Donovan stressed the importance of understanding the long-term impacts of the proposed
modifications, particularly impacts to the town's infrastructure and carrying capacity caused by
the potential for increased density. Sally Jackle, a resident of the Matterhorn neighborhood, said
she supported code incentives as well as a requirement for developers to contribute through an
employee generation policy. Mayor Rob Ford called the discussion a preliminary first step in
which the town will be looking for additional input as the concepts are taken to the PEC for
review. For more information, contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community Development
Department at 479-2148.
--Information Update
The Council authorized $45,000 from capital projects savings to be used to tie-into a streetscape
improvement project in front of the Swiss House on East Meadow Drive. The project won't be
authorized unless it can be completed by July 2. Although Councilman Bob Armour said he
agreed the new project was worthwhile, he said the town shouldn't go looking to spend money,
given the town's current financial situation.
Announcements included:
• July 15 is the first night for paid parking at Ford Park during the Hot Summer Nights
concert.
• Jesus Morales, the Seibert Circle artist, will be making some final adjustments to the
plaza in July. The work will include modifications to the benches.

Add 2/TOV Council Highlights/6-15-99
• Dinner hosts are needed for the upcoming conference of the Society of American Travel
Writers.
• The Eagle County Housing Needs Assessment will be presented to staff members and
elected officials from throughout the county at 5:30 p.m. June 16 at the Singletree
Pavilion.
--Council Reports
Ludwig Kurz, who represents the Council on the Colorado Ski Museum Board of Directors, said
inductees into the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame would be announced soon. In addition, Kurz, who
represents the Council on the Eagle County Recreation Authority (Berry Creek Fifth), asked
Town Attorney Tom Moorhead to provide an update on the authority's activities. According to
Moorhead, entities who are looking to be bought-out by other interested entites should present
conditions for an exit strategy at the next meeting on July 9. Moorhead suggested the town staff
develop a proposal for presentation to Council regarding appropriate compensation for its share
of the property. Mayor Rob Ford expressed Council's interest in maintaining the housing and
recreation component on the land as outlined in the current intergovernmental agreement (IGA).
--Other
Councilman Bob Armour thanked Russell Forrest, Community Development Director, for his
hard work in coordinating the community facilities study, June 8-10. Armour also suggested the
town staff review its vesting powers given passage of House Bill 1280.
The Council voted 4-0 to authorize up to $32,000 from the town's fund balance to be added to a
$3,000 grant from the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments for a parking demand study
to be completed Sept. 1.
Evening Meeting Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Kurz
--Citizen Participation
In inviting citizens to address the Town Council, Mayor Rob Ford reviewed a decision made at
the Council's June 9 work session to establish a 3-minute time limit for each citizen's
appearance.
The Council then heard from Eileen Connors, an environmental activist, who criticized the town
for not being proactive enough on environmental issues. Connors expressed frustration with the
new time limit, noting that she'd prepared a 13-minute speech. After 3 minutes, Connors
complied with the Mayor's request to leave the podium.
Next, the Council heard from Barbara Duncan, who asked Council to reconsider its support for
housing and recreation uses on the Berry Creek Fifth Filing property. Instead, Duncan
suggested the land remain as open space.
--Community Survey Results
The town's 12th annual community survey results were presented by Chris Cares of RRC
Associates who conducted the research. Overall, Cares said the 1999 survey reflected no major
findings or surprises, with priorities and patterns remaining similar to last year. Like last year,
affordable housing overwhelmingly topped the list as the most important issue facing the town,
he said, followed by controlled growth/development concerns and open space/environment.
(more)
Add 3/TOV Council Highlights/6-15-99
Responsiveness ratings for the Town Council dipped slightly, while satisfaction levels of many of
the town's basic services improved. The town used a random telephone poll and an Intenet
survey for the first time this year. Cares said the Internet technique suggests new opportunities
to use the Internet for two-way communications about community issues and events. For a copy
of the results, contact the Town of Vail Community Information Office at 479-2115.
--Dick Duran Tribute
Mayor Rob Ford recognized Dick Duran for his 21 years of service to the Fire Department, 18 as
chief. Duran is retiring at the end of the month.
--False Fire Alarm Ordinance
The Council voted 4-0 on first reading to approve a new false fire alarm ordinance, which is
aimed at reducing the number of false alarms in Vail by 30 percent. The ordinance enables the
Fire Department to cite repeat offenders to Municipal Court, where penalties could range from a
fine of up to $999 and/or incarceration of up to 180 days in jail. Currently, the department uses a
six-month process to work with property owners. Fire Marshal Mike McGee has said the
process is tedious and ineffective in bringing about a quick remedy. During discussion,
Councilman Bob Armour, a longtime proponent of a false alarm ordinance, said that while he
supported the move, he continued to question whether the legislation has the teeth it needs to
remedy the problem. Last December, Councilmembers reviewed statistics that showed 2,823
false alarms at 303 properties in Vail within a two-and-a-half year period. For more information,
contact Chief Dick Duran at 479-2252.
--Resolution Adopting the Eagle County Annual Fire Protection Plan and the Intergovernmental
Mutual Aid Agreement
The Council voted 4-0 to approve a countywide fire protection plan and an intergovernmental
mutual aid agreement. The agreements are developed annually to address wildfire protection
issues. For more information, contact Fire Chief Dick Duran at 479-2252.
--Glen Lyon Office Building Major Amendment to Special Development District
The Council voted 4-0 to approve second reading of an ordinance approving a major
amendment to the Glen Lyon Office Building Special Development District. The project includes
construction of a new 37,000 sq. ft. office building; 127 spaces of underground parking; a 3,000
sq. ft. addition to the current building; plus two employee housing units. The Council had
previously placed a condition on approval to save some mature trees on the east end of the site.
Earlier in the day during the work session, several citizens had asked Council to increase the
number of employee housing units within the development beyond the two units that had been
approved on first reading. For more information, contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community
Development Department at 479-2148.
--Update on Community Facilities Plan
Russell Forrest, Community Development director, gave an update on next steps in the
community facilities process. He said the work of the three design teams would be on display in
the atrium of the Vail Public Library from June 17-July 6. Comment sheets will be posted
alongside the three concepts for community feedback. Also, handouts describing the three
proposals will be available for public distribution beginning June 21 and information will be
posted on the town's website (ci.vail.co.us) beginning June 22. Community feedback will be
used to help in determining which of the many facilities ideas will be pursued in greater detail, as
well as narrowing the field of design teams from three to one. The Vail Town Council and Vail

take to require occupancy of all employee housing units townwide. The discussion prompted
comments from several citizens. Harry Gray, a contractor, called the proposed modifications a
step in the right direction, but suggested the need for additional incentives to "sweeten the deal."
Galen Aasland, a member of the Planning and Environmental Commission, said the town would
lose trust from its citizens if it went back to enforce EHU occupancy for units approved under the
old guidelines. Chuck Ogilby, a member of the Vail Tomorrow Affordable Housing Team,
commended the Council, and suggested consideration of additional community incentives, such
as a free ski pass for people who provide employee housing units. Longtime resident Diana
Donovan stressed the importance of understanding the long-term impacts of the proposed
modifications, particularly impacts to the town's infrastructure and carrying capacity caused by
the potential for increased density. Sally Jackle, a resident of the Matterhorn neighborhood, said
she supported code incentives as well as a requirement for developers to contribute through an
employee generation policy. Mayor Rob Ford called the discussion a preliminary first step in
which the town will be looking for additional input as the concepts are taken to the PEC for -
review. For more information, contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community Development
Department at 479-2148.-
--information Update
The Council authorized $45,000 from capital projects savings to be used to tie-into a streetscape
improvement project in front of the Swiss House on East Meadow Drive. The project won't be
authorized unless it can be completed by July 2. Although Councilman Bob Armour said he
agreed the new project was worthwhile, he said the town shouldn't go looking to spend money,
given the town's current financial situation.
Announcements included:
• July 15 is the first night for paid parking at Ford Park during the Hot Summer Nights
concert.
• Jesus Morales, the Seibert Circle artist, will be making some final adjustments to the
plaza in July. The work will include modifications to the benches.

--Council Reports
Ludwig Kurz, who represents the Council on the Colorado Ski Museum Board of Directors, said
inductees into the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame would be announced soon. In addition,- Kurz, who
represents the Council on the Eagle County Recreation Authority (Berry Creek Fifth)., asked
Town Attorney Tom Moorhead to provide an update on the authority's activities. According to
Moorhead, entities who are looking to be bought-out by other interested entites should present
conditions for an exit strategy at the next meeting on July 9. Moorhead suggested the town staff
develop a proposal for presentation to Council regarding appropriate compensation for its share
of the property. Mayor Rob Ford expressed Council's interest in maintaining the housing and
.recreation component on the land as outlined in the current intergovernmental agreement (IGA).
--Other
Councilman Bob Armour thanked Russell Forrest, Community Development Director, for his
hard work in coordinating the community facilities study, June 8-10. Armour also suggested the
town staff review its vesting powers given passage of House Bill 1280.
The Council voted 4-0 to authorize up to $32,000 from the town's fund balance to be added to a
$3,000 grant from the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments for a parking demand study
to be completed Sept. 1.
Evening Meeting Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Kurz
--Citizen Participation
In inviting citizens to address the Town Council, Mayor Rob Ford reviewed a decision made at
the Council's June 9 work session to establish a 3-minute time limit for each citizen's
appearance.
The Council then heard from Eileen Connors, an environmental activist, who criticized the town
for not being proactive enough on environmental issues. Connors expressed frustration with the
new time limit, noting that she'd prepared a 13-minute speech. After 3 minutes, Connors
complied with the Mayor's request to leave the podium.
Next, the Council heard from Barbara Duncan, who asked Council to reconsider its support for
housing and recreation uses on the Berry Creek Fifth Filing property. Instead, Duncan
suggested the land remain as open space.
--Community Survey Results
The town's 12th annual community survey results were presented by Chris Cares of RRC
Associates.who conducted the research. Overall, Cares said the 1999 survey reflected no major
findings or surprises, with priorities and patterns remaining similar to last year. Like last year,
affordable housing overwhelmingly topped the list as the most important issue facing the town,
he said, followed by controlled growth/development concerns and open space/environment.

Responsiveness ratings for the Town Council dipped slightly, while satisfaction levels of many of
the town's basic services improved. The town used a random telephone poll and an Intenet
survey for the first time this year. Cares said the Internet technique suggests new opportunities
to use the Internet for two-way communications about community issues and events. For a copy

--Dick Duran Tribute
Mayor Rob Ford recognized Dick Duran for his 21 years of service to the Fire Department, 18 as
chief. Duran is retiring at the end of the month.
--False Fire Alarm Ordinance
The Council voted 4-0 on first reading to approve a new false fire alarm ordinance, which is
aimed at reducing the number of false alarms in Vail by 30 percent. The ordinance enables the
Fire Department to cite repeat offenders to Municipal Court, where penalties could range from a
fine of up to $999 and/or incarceration of up to 180 days in jail. Currently, the department uses a
six-month process to work with property owners. Fire Marshal Mike McGee has said the
process is tedious and ineffective in bringing about a quick remedy. During discussion,
Councilman Bob Armour, a longtime proponent of a false alarm ordinance, said that while he
supported the move, he continued to question whether the legislation has the teeth it needs to
remedy the problem. Last December, Councilmembers reviewed statistics that showed 2,823
false alarms at 303 properties in Vail within a two-and-a-half year period. For more information,
contact Chief Dick Duran at 479-2252.
--Resolution Adopting the Eagle County Annual Fire Protection Plan and the Intergovernmental
Mutual Aid Agreement
The Council voted 4-0 to approve a countywide fire protection plan and an intergovernmental
mutual aid agreement. The agreements are developed annually to address wildfire protection
issues. For more information, contact Fire Chief Dick Duran at 479-2252.
--Glen Lyon Office Building Major Amendment to Special Development District
The Council voted 4-0 to approve second reading of an ordinance approving a major
amendment to the Glen Lyon Office Building Special Development District. The project includes
construction of a new 37,000 sq. ft. office building; 127 spaces of underground parking; a 3,000
sq. ft. addition to the current building; plus two employee housing units. The Council had
previously placed a condition on approval to save some mature trees on the east end of the site.
Earlier in the day during the work session, several citizens had asked Council to increase the
number of employee housing units within the development beyond the two units that had been
approved on first reading. For more information, contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community
Development Department at 479-2148.
--Update on Community Facilities Plan
Russell Forrest, Community Development director, gave an update on next steps in the
community facilities process. He said the work of the three design teams would be on display in
the atrium of the Vail Public Library from June 17-July 6. Comment sheets will be posted
alongside the three concepts for community feedback. Also, handouts describing the three
proposals will be available for public distribution beginning June 21 and information will be
posted on the town's website (ci.vail.co.us) beginning June 22. Community feedback will be
used to help in determining which of the many facilities ideas will be pursued in greater detail, as
well as narrowing the field of design teams from three to one. The Vail Town Council and Vail

PAID CLOSE-IN PARKING OPTION RETURNS TO FORD PARK
(Vail)--Ford Park users will continue to have the option to park free or pay a minimal fee for
close-in parking during 39 peak days this summer beginning June 15. The $5 special event
parking at the Ford Park and soccer field parking lots was introduced a year ago to help ease
parking and traffic congestion around the park and to improve pedestrian safety.
The Vail Village parking structure will remain free this summer with 10-minute bus service to
the park during special events. Pedestrian paths also are in place, providing 10-minute access
to the park for those who prefer to walk from the structure. In addition, Ford Park drop-off lanes
for private vehicles will be accessible from the South Frontage Rd. during peak days.
Attendants will be on-site to-manage the drop-off spaces and to assist users with a maximum
10-minute unloading time.
Promotion of multiple access points to the park is one of several initiatives sponsored by the
Ford Park Management Committee. The group, with representation from the Town of Vail, Vail
Valley Foundation, Vail Recreation District, Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival and Vail Alpine
Garden Foundation, has seen the number of special events at the town-owned park double in
the last two years. As a result, the Committee has been working year-round to coordinate

schedules and activities, says Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer. "Ford Park is a
community treasure that gets an amazing amount of use each summer from locals and guests
alike," she said. "With the addition of WestFest this year as well as other new programming, it's
all the more critical that we.coordinate schedules to make sure we don't overextend the park's
capacity."
The close-in paid parking program will be offered on a first-come first-served basis during the
39 peak days, including the Hot Summer Nights concert series on Tuesdays. Last year, the free
concert series was exempt from the paid parking program, which prompted several user groups
to raise fairness concerns. "This year, our criteria for paid parking has been based upon
multiple venues and consistent hours and treatment for all user groups," said Brandmeyer.
"We're applying those standards to all our users in an equitable fashion."
The parking program will again be managed'by Mountain Valet, a private company, under a
contract with the town. Variable message signs will be used to alert event-goers of the paid
parking option. Close-in parking fees will be collected from 4 to 7 p.m. on most peak days, with
the exception of July 4 and Sept. 4-6 when paid parking will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Ford
Park lot has 200 close-in parking spaces, while the soccer field lot has 57-spaces. Free parking
will continue to be offered at the lots during non-peak days.
The Ford Park Management Committee and the Vail Town Council have each embraced the
summer program and are asking for the public's help in implementing the plan, Brandmeyer
said. "We know the addition of the Tuesday night concert series will be a disappointment for
some people," she said. "But we've all come to realize that providing equal accessibility to all
park venues is our highest priority. Users will continue to have a variety of options and choices
about how they access the park."
Ford Park is Vail's largest recreational facility at 39 acres. It contains the Betty Ford Alpine

AFFORDABLE HOUSING CONTINUES TO TOP LIST OF CONCERNS, WHILE
MUNICIPAL SERVICE RATINGS INCREASE IN VAIL COMMUNITY SURVEY
(Vail)--For the second year in a row, affordable housing has overwhelmingly topped the list as
the most important issue facing the Town of Vail, according to respondents to the town's annual
community survey. Results also show an increase in satisfaction levels of many of the town's
basic services.
Key findings of the 23-question survey were presented to the Vail Town Council this evening
(6-15) by Chris Cares, principal of RRC Associates, a Boulder-based research firm which has
conducted the annual survey for the past seven years.
When asked to identify the two biggest issues facing the town, approximately 40 percent of the
1999 survey respondents listed affordable housing as the top concern. The second most
identified issue is controlled growth/development with 23 percent, followed by open
space/environment with 6 percent.
The 1999 results closely resemble last years' findings when 34 percent listed affordable
housing as the top concern, followed by controlled growth/development with 12 percent and
open space/environment with 10 percent.
For the first time in the survey's 12-year history, the town used a random telephone poll and an
Internet survey to evaluate town services and citizen priorities. Results are based on opinions of
more than 600 residents, second homeowners and business owners with a margin of error of

plus or minus 4 percent. The survey was conducted during the months of March and April.
Previous surveys have relied on a mail-back technique, which has shown declining response
rates.
In summarizing the 1999 survey, RRC Associates has compared results with the previous
year. The findings are as follows:
Services provided by Fire, Police and Transit received the highest department ratings, while
the Community Development Department and Animal Control Services received the most
improved ratings from a year ago. Also showing improvement were the responsiveness ratings
for the Art In Public Places Board, the Design Review Board and the town staff.
The Vail Town Council received slightly lower marks than in 1998, while pricing of parking was
the most negatively rated category overall with a rating of 2.8 out of a possible 5.0.
In addition, 65 percent of respondents offered support for involvement by the town to improve
the community's economic vitality, down from a support level of 76 percent last year. Expanded
summer marketing was listed as the single most important action, followed by improvement of
Vail's retail quality and increased lodging occupancy.
There remains a general concern with a lack of "sense of community," although results are
largely unchanged from last year. While 20 percent of the respondents noted improvement, 38
percent said it has gotten worse. Another 39 percent said it has stayed the same.
Continued growth in access to the Internet was documented by the survey, with 73 percent of
the survey respondents indicating such access, up from 64 percent the year before. While the
number of responses on the Internet version of the survey was relatively low with 56 participants,
results of the Internet survey closely paralleled responses from the telephone version. This,
according to researchers, suggests new opportunities to use the Internet for communications
about community issues and events.

Add 2/TOV Community Survey Results
Other survey findings show:
• Part-time residents tend to give higher satisfaction ratings for town services than
full-time residents.
• Full-time residents identified affordable housing as a top priority, while part-time
residents were especially likely to identify growth issues as their greatest concern.
• Most respondents said they are satisfied with the levels of attention being given to
_ town services.
• 25 percent of the respondents said the Vail Town Council's responsiveness is
"getting better", while most said responsiveness has "stayed the same" over the
past year.

TOV Environmental Health Specialist
TOV RECOMMENDS PINE BEETLE PREVENTIVE SPRAYING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY
NOW THROUGH MID-JULY
(Vail)--Although the mountain pine beetle appears to have won the battle on Forest Service
land, private property owners are being encouraged to fight back this season through use of a
preventive spray. According to Patrick Hamel, Vail's environmental health specialist, spraying
should be done in the next four weeks before the pine beetles emerge from their current batch of
host trees.
The chemical to use is called carbaryl (trade name Sevin) and should be applied by a licensed
sprayer, said Hamel. Its use should be limited to lodgepole pines six inches or larger in
diameter. Trees smaller than six inches are not commonly attacked by the pine beetle, Hamel
said. The pesticide is applied to the trunk of the live trees which are most susceptible to the pine
beetles. One application of chemical is usually good for two years of protection.
The chemical is toxic to fish, birds and other insects, especially bees, and should be handled
carefully and used only to protect high value landscape trees, Hamel said.
Trees which have turned orange-brown in color are already dead and pose no further danger
of infecting other trees, according to Hamel. Infested trees, however, need to be cut down and
covered with plastic, peeled of bark, or hauled off to a safe site before the beetles fly this
summer, he said.
The Town of Vail will continue to spray its high value trees in parks, along the streamtract and

on the grounds of its other municipal facilities. This activity will begin in the next two weeks
based on availability of the contractor. Most of the work will be done in the very early morning,
Hamel said.
The mountain pine beetle outbreak is approaching year three of a four-year cycle, which cause
the pines to lose their water supply, eventually killing them. More than 13,000 lodgepole pines
from East Vail to Eagle-Vail have been killed in the past two years.
As a result, full-scale forest protection is neither practical nor desired because of the risks,
Hamel said.

TOV, VRD SEEK PUBLIC COMMENT ON COMMUNITY FACILITIES CONCEPTS
PRIOR TO JULY 6 REVIEW
(Vail)--The Vail Town Council and the Board of Directors of the Vail Recreation District are
looking for the public's help in narrowing concepts for expansion of Vail's network of community
facilities. The two boards are scheduled to meet in joint session at 7 p.m. July 6 in the Vail Town
Council Chambers to review the work of three national teams who participated in a facilities
design competition sponsored by the two boards June 8-10.
The July 6 discussion will be used to begin determining which of the many facilities ideas will
be pursued in greater detail, as well as narrowing the field of design teams from three to one.
"We envision taking the best of what we like from all three concepts to begin creating a fourth
hybrid," said Russell Forrest, project manager and Community Development director. "One of
our most difficult decisions will be the selection of a final team to carry these ideas on to the next
level of detail." That's because all three teams have exhibited much creativity and ingenuity in
addressing many of the community's wish list items, Forrest said. "I'm sensing a high level of
interest and excitement from the community. Now's the time for people to speak up to let us
know more specifically about what they like, as well as what they don't like."
The design teams have created colorful illustrations and maps depicting various uses for the
charter bus lot site east of the Lionshead parking structure, as well as other town-owned lands,
(more)

plus initial financing ideas.
The concepts are on display in the atrium of the Vail Public Library from June 17 to July 6.
Comment sheets are posted alongside the three concepts for community feedback. In addition,
information packets will be available from the Community Development Department beginning
June 21. Also, the concepts are being posted on the Town of Vail Internet Website .
(http-.//ci.vail.co.us) beginning June 22, along with the opportunity to comment via e-mail.
In addition, a 90-minute video of the three design concepts will be aired on Channel 5 Vail
Valley Community Television throughout the month. For schedule information, call 949-5657.
Forrest says the two boards hope to be in a position to select a final design team by August.
The team will then focus on the preferred uses articulated by the community. It will also work
with a marketing firm which has been hired independently by the town and the Vail Recreation
District to research corporate sponsorship opportunities.
The three national design teams each have experience in designing both recreational and
cultural facilities. They are:
"Blue" Team
EDAW, Denver, Colo.
Zehren and Associates, Avon, Colo.
Hammel, Green and Abrahamson, Minneapolis, Minn.
This team proposes creation of an Alpine Adventure Center and a Vail Civic Events Center in
Lionshead, connected by a tramway link along West Meadow Drive to Vail Village. Components
include a youth center, adventure center, a 50,000 sq. ft. events center, indoor/outdoor
kayaking, a conference center, second sheet of ice, black box theater and a gymnastics facility,
among other amenities. Other uses also are proposed on sites outside the Lionshead area.
"Red" Team
Otis Architecture, Denver, Colo.
Sasaki Associates, Denver, Colo.
Design Workshop, Vail, Colo.
This team has suggested a concentration of "18-hour-a-day" uses at the hub site in Lionshead
that would be shared by community residents and visiting guests. These uses would include an
"adventure valley" to complement Vail's Adventure Ridge, a redesign of Dobson Arena to
improve acoustics and lighting for major performances, plus expansion of the library,
construction of a second sheet of ice, a gymnastics center, a youth center, public plaza, and a
community colonnade filled with classroom space, gallery space, artist studios and other flexible
(more)

community space. Uses proposed for outside the hub site include an indoor/outdoor community
pool, a small pavilion and a small platform or stage for impromptu performances and community
gatherings.
"Green" Team
IQ Magic, Santa Monica, Calif.
Orne & Associates, Denver, Colo.
Oz Architecture, Denver, Colo.
This team proposes creation of a new hub in Lionshead that would establish itself as a special
place that would address community, business and guest needs. Components at the community.
hub site would include improvements to Dobson Arena, a second ice sheet, gymnastics center
with gym and fitness facilities, youth facilities, a 500-seat Imax theater for community meetings,
stage events and a planetarium. Also proposed are creekside retail amenities that would
include such activities as a micro-brewery and cafes, bowling and billiards, eateries, a movie
cinema cluster, an experimental sports retail center, a hotel, and a conference and event center.
The team also proposes a long-range plan to create nature site facilities in the meadows near
Gore Creek. These ideas include expansion of the library, community meeting rooms, an
outdoor lake/ice rink, an interpretive riverwalk, a wetlands habitat area, relocation of the
Colorado Ski Museum, community college facilities and a community pool and spa.

Dear Mr. Morton,
I am responding to your letter to Mayor Rob Ford regarding the offensive appearance of the
Lionshead Charter Bus Lot, and your suggestion to install a shielding fence. I appreciated your
comments and wanted to inform you that the Public Works Department intends on installing a
fence hopefully by mid August, if not sooner. We are currently investigating the type of fence to
be installed and anticipate a quick staff approval from the Community Development Department.
I agree that this will greatly help the situation until decisions regarding redevelopment of this area
materialize.
Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,

Dear Mayor Ford:
My wife and I were in Vail recently at our condominium in Phase III of the Lodge at Lionshead. For
sometime we have been concerned with the appearance of the east parking lot across from our
building.
We did send a letter of comment three or four years ago and received a nice note back saying that
improvements were under consideration and we should look to better days ahead. We Nvere
subsequently encouraged also by the major renovation of the Vail parking structure and surroundings.
However, things have only gotten worse. LaVon and I walked up to the lot and conditions up close are
even more appalling than they appear from our bedroom and kitchen windows.
RV's seem to be more or less permanently parked with engines that we can hear running at all hours.
Construction vehicles, busses of all kinds make up the rest, except for the new addition of metal
seating structures - we guess left over from the World Cup events. May we suggest that some of the
council members personally take a look at this mess. I have enclosed a picture of our view for
documentation. This unfortunately was taken three years ago when things, by comparison to today,
looked pretty good!
This is a situation that the people in Vail residential areas wouldn't put up with for a minute. One
suggestion for a quick improvement: put up a shielding fence. If the council really cares about
Lionshead, this is something that can be corrected quickly without all the political processes of
rezoning, etc. It might even make some of us more supportive and trusting with regard to the larger
discussions of Lionshead redevelopment.
Of course, the appearance of this lot is not just an offense to the Lodge at Lionshead residents;
everybody walking by gets an impression of an unsightly, noisy and disorganized area that detracts
from the pleasures of the Vail experience. I hope you can find the time to review this matter.
Sincerely
Dean O. Morton

NIENIOI~ANDUM
'POt Vail Village Merchants
FRONL• WMA Board of Directors
DATE JUNE 17, 1999
The Vail Village Merchants` Association has recently been discussing
the need to create a better shopping experience for the quests who
visit us both in winter and in summer. Many people feel that it
would be beneficial. for all of us to agree to have uniform hours of
operation during our busy times of the year. Based upon the number
of questions we receive from tourists regarding when shops are open
etc., there appears to be confusion and lack of confidence on their
part as to if and when they can find most shops open. To address this
issue now, particularly in regard to our current economic climate and
the competition from other areas, seems appropriate.
At our last meeting it was decided to fax out a questionnaire in the
hopes of obtaining your feelings on consistent hours of operation in
the Village. We will compile the results and then try to determine if
we can reach some agreement. In the meantime, we are strongly
urging some consistency on Friday nights to coincide with the Friday
night street parties that we are sponsoring in cooperation with the
Vail Valley Restaurant Association and the Town of Vail-
The attached schedule outlines the planned activities. On Friday
nights wed would like your help in snaking this effort a success.With
that in mind, we are attempting to get unanimous support from the
merchants and asldng that every one keep their business open until
9:40. We hope to create some energy in the Village as well as use this
as a test for future standardization of hours.

VAIL AWARDS VAIL COMMONS RESALE UNITS TO TOP TWO APPLICANTS
WITH RESERVE LIST DRAWING TO TAKE PLACE JUNE 22
(Vail)--With just two housing applicants making the top tier grouping for the two Vail Commons
resale units, the Town of Vail today (6-18) restructured its lottery process and moved forward
with one of two drawings. The first drawing, held at 5:15 pm today, determined which of the top
two applicants had first dibs on the units. At it turned out, Lisa Brandmeyer got to chose first,
selecting the unit at 2092 F Zermatt Lane at a sales price of $118,774.44. The other unit, at
2090 B Zermatt Lane, was selected by Kevin Latchford at a sales price of $117,741.53.
Both applicants have participated in previous housing lotteries in the tier 1 grouping.
A second drawing will be held at 4:30 p.m. on June 22 in the Town of Vail Community
Development Department to determine the reserve list drawing. The reserve list is used in the
event the top person elects to decline purchase of a unit.
Originally, the town had scheduled the full lottery to occur June 24.
Here are the tier standings, according to the number of points earned for work history and
longevity of residency in Vail and/or Eagle County, for the Vail Commons Resale Units (listed in
alphabetical order):

TOV URGES EXTRA ATTENTION WITH GARBAGE AND TRASH REMOVAL
TO AVOID DANGEROUS ENCOUNTERS WITH BEARS
(Vail)--It's bear season. As a result, the Town of Vail has joined the Colorado Division of
Wildlife in asking residents to be mindful of the presence of bears and the associated risks.
Most conflicts between bears and people are linked to the careless handling of food or
garbage, according to Vail Police Lt. Joe Russell. Since bears are attracted to garbage, it's
important to keep trash in a place that can't be accessed by bears, he said. "One of the best
and easiest ways to prevent animals from getting into garbage is to avoid putting the trash out
on the curb until the morning of collection."
Other tips include:
• Vacation property owners who frequent Vail on weekends should contact their
private hauler to make arrangements for Sunday pickups.
Never store garbage or pet food on porches.
• Keep barbeques and outdoor tables clean.
• Hang bird seed and hummingbird feeders on a wire between trees instead of on
your deck or porch.
• Bring all bird feeders in at night.
• If you encounter a bear near your home or a populated area, don't approach it.
Avoid surprise encounters. Always leave an escape route for the bear. Keep
calm and walk away while facing the bear. Do not run or make sudden
movements.
• If you see a bear that appears to be a threat to public safety, please call the Vail
Police Department at 479-2200.
Black bears may be active any time of the day, but are most often seen in the morning and
evening twilight, according to Russell. They're also very strong, curious and incredibly

intelligent. For example, when a bear gets hungry, it will revisit places where it has found a good
meal in the past, he said. "This is one of the reasons why it's important for residents and
businesses to make their garbage inaccessible to bears, and avoid opportunities for bears to
learn habits that may cost them their lives," he said.
The Colorado Division of Wildlife has enacted a nuisance bear policy which requires problem
bears to be killed after two or more incidents. To avoid such drastic consequences, Russell
urges residents to do their part to allow bears to co-exist.
The Town of Vail has been doing its part through the placement of commercial bear-proof
trash containers in Bighorn Park, Ford Park, Pirate Ship Park and Stephens Park. The sites
were selected based on the frequency of past bear activity.
For more information, contact Lt. Russell at 479-2329 or Bill Andree with the Colorado Division
of Wildlife at 926-4424.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR "DAY FOR DEER" AT DOWD JUNCTION
(Vail)--Volunteers are asked to gather this Wednesday (6-23) to help clean up the 1-70 deer
tunnel at the Dowd Junction recreation path. The "Day for Deer" activity, from 2 to 7 p.m., is
sponsored by the Eagle County Trails Committee, the Town of Vail and the Colorado State
Lottery. Work tools and refreshments will be provided on site.
The work will include clearing the migration tunnel of debris and planting willow trees in the
meadow on the Gore Creek side of the migration tunnel. The new trees, as recommended by a
state wildlife biologist, will provide shelter for migrating deer and will help screen the path from
the deers' view.
Volunteers are asked to meet at the work site and to bring work gloves, sunscreen and rain
gear.
Over time, the goal of the Eagle County Trails Committee is to meet the wildlife needs of the
area through plantings and other mitigation efforts, thus eliminating or limiting the seasonal
closure of the Dowd Junction recreation path during deer migration.
