Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely yours, Connie Knight April 28, 2000 Vail Town Council 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 RE: Re-appointment to the Local Licensing Authority Dear Town Council Members: I would like to be considered for reappointment to the Local Licensing Authority. I have enjoyed my past term(s) and feel my continued contribution to the board and the Town of Vail will help enhance our community. Thank you so much for your consideration. Very truly yours, William F. Bishop Vail • Alpine , ss~' Garden Foundation May 19, 2000 Vail Town Council Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail; CO 81657 Dear Council Members: Thank .you. for your trust and financial support over the 15 year history of the Foundation and Gardens. I am writing this letter to let you know of my presentation to the Council on June 6th, and give you an overview of what .1 am asking, and why. For 15 years, Vail Alpine Garden Foundation (VAGF) has had. an exceptional partnership with the Town of Vail (TOV). In addition to providing us with an ongoing $1 per year lease, over the years TOV has contributed $120,460 in cash, plus, a considerable array of in-kind gifts and labor. With your financial and non-financial support we are transforming Betty Ford Alpine Gardens from a magnificent display garden into an alpine garden of international botanical and horticultural importance. VAGF's donors have contributed almost $ 2 million dollars; and our volunteers have contributed well over 60,000 hours in developing and maintaining this beautiful mountain treasure. The vast majority of our funds have been raised from individual donations. As you have approved earlier this year, we are in the planning process for the final phase of completing the Gardens in the area around the Schoolhouse and along Gore Creek. We have received an $ 80,000 Challenge Grant from the Gates Family Foundation towards this $ 431,000 project 231,000 of capital improvements and $ 200,000 in increase in our endowment). This challenge grant is a strong endorsement from a leading Colorado Foundation that in its 50 year history has only funded two other nonprofits in Vail.' The last three grant applications to other foundations that I have made have been rejected indicating a trend toward supporting other causes. My presentation will request $ 150,000 from RETT funds for the capital portion of this project. Therefore the proposed project funding would be: • Capital $.231,000 - $ 80,000 Gates Foundation, $150,000 TOV, $ 1,000 VAGF. • Endowment $ 200,000 - all from VAGF's summer 2000 endowment campaign. The additional $ 10,000 in projected endowment earnings will support garden maintenance. • Commitment by Entity: $ 80,000. Gates Foundation; $150,000 TOV; $201,000 VAGF.

Page two We believe this request is reasonable, beneficial to TOV and falls completely under the current RETT guidelines. I have outlined below the ways that the TOV's investment in the Gardens will be returned in the form of many different benefits. Intangible Benefits A World Class Amenity for Tourists and Locals Alike • This is a true public garden, there is no entrance fee and our contribution boxes produce a very modest revenue stream. • We estimate that 100,000 visitors come to the gardens each year. Next year we are budgeting for detailed surveys and more precise visitor tracking information. • Our workshops and lectures are free to the public. Our Gift Shop Volunteers keep the Schoolhouse Museum open. (In Y2000, the Schoolhouse will be open over 25 hours per week, more on holiday weekends.) • The Gardens are one of the few free attractions in Vail. A Nationally and Internationally Recognized Botanic'Garden • The Gardens'are known throughout the country via the national network of American Association of Botanic Gardens and Arboreta (AABGA) and via our close alliance with Denver Botanic Gardens. • With over 350 new species of Colorado and Rocky Mountain native alpine and sub-alpine plants in the new Alpine Rock Garden, our niche of growing plants at, p:,F or close to altitude, is second to none. • We are an accessible community and regional resource for horticultural information as well as an international resource for alpine botanic information. • In February 2001; we will be sending our botanist and her counterpart at~Deriver Botanic Gardens to the Chilean and Argentinean Andes to collect seed and study their alpine ecosystems. Similar trips to other alpine environments are`being researched such as Tibet and Asia's Central' Caucuses. These trips have been proven to elevate the plant knowledge and international recognition of sponsoring gardens. f • Our staff and volunteers' passion for promoting the garderis is unparalleled. Tangible Benefits VAGV's Marketing Plan to Promote the Gardens and/or produce Tax Revenue for TOV 1. Radio - We have contracted with Colorado Public Radio 'for: 20 spots `front a` range and 45 spots statewide announcing the opening of the Alpine Garden and the July 4th dedication by President and Mrs. Ford. Our cost: $ 4,500. We are negotiating with KNOW (the front range's largest talk radio station) for. four 60 second and eight 30 second ads on their 2 hour Saturday a.m gardening show. Our cost: $ 900. 2. TV - We are negotiating with Channel 7 for a "live remote" the * eek'of June. 19th Our cost: $ 1,000. We are pursuing live coverage of the'July 40' event.: ltipiiut.c urgeutetts ,Siluerla~pirae ® Printed M Recycled Paper Page three 3. Print - We have hired a consultant to obtain coverage in all prominent' statewide newspapers and magazines. Our cost $ 500. In addition, we pay over $ 1,500 for print advertising and bus signage. Journal articles announcing the Alpine Rock Garden are currently being published in the Colorado Chapter of American Rock Garden Society and the National Alpine Rock Garden Society. We are listed in numerous local, state, national and international periodicals including Fodor's and AAA Guide. Our membership newsletter reaches a national audience that is proven to attend programs and events. 4. Conferences - Last summer, we hosted the Western Regional AABGA Conference at-Manor Vail Lodge with over 50 attendees for 3 days. In association with Denver Botanic Gardens, we are actively planning the national AABGA conference in Denver, July, 2001. A major donor party as well as before/ after tours will visit Vail. I have been working with Frank Johnson on package deals. Due to the considerable attendance in Denver, we would expect well over 100 visitors to Vail for a minimum of 1 night. In addition, I am "a featured speaker at the 2nd Annual AABGA Small Garden Conference in Washington this August. I have already reserved the 41h Annual Small Gardens Conference for August 2002 to be held in Vail, expect over 130 attendees for 3 nights. 5. Tours and Weddings - We host an average of 20 weddings each year for an average of 75 people per wedding. We estimate that over 50% of weddings have a Vail reception and lodging for a minimum of 1 night. Tours * from around Colorado, and occasionally from much further, come to Vail specifically to visit the gardens then. dine in town and make other purchases. 6. Schoolhouse Museum and Gift Shop - Our volunteers are projecting sales . ` revenues at.$ 15/000 this year. 7. Website - We have had a website up and running for two years andwilhbe investing $ 10,000 over the next 12 months in `upgrades. 8. The new,,.5 acre Alpine Rock Garden (like the Alpine Display Garden by the entrance to the Amphitheater) will increase the risible blooming flora by. ole full month, extending the "color" from May to September. This will add' an added, marketable attraction to the shoulder season. I believe this is a win-win proposal and look forward to speaking with you on June 61h. In the meantime if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at- 476-0103 "x4 or 390-1365. Thank you for your consideration.' With regar r. Ry thard , Executive Director hipimus argenleus Silver Lupine ® Printed on Recycled Paper To: Vail Town Council From: Patrick Hamel, Environmental Health Officer Russ Forrest, Director of Community Development Kirby Wynn, U.S. Geological Survey Date: June 6, 2000 Subject: Review of the water quality study performed by the U.S.G.S on the Gore Creek Watershed and possible actions for the Town of Vail to consider to improve water quality. 1. PURPOSE: The purpose of the U.S.G.S. study was to evaluate the quality of the water and the health of the aquatic life in the Gore Creek Watershed. With the results of this study the Town will be able to better determine if regulatory action is needed to maintain or improve the quality of water in the watershed. 2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: To properly manage water resources in the Gore Creek Watershed, local organizations were interested in a better understanding of water quality and stream biology and their relation to land uses and natural factors in the watershed. In response to these concerns, the Town of Vail, the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Vail Associates and the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority created the Gore Creek Watershed Management Program in 1996. The goal of the program is to provide information for the management and protection of water quality and aquatic life in the watershed. In addition to the U.S.G.S. study done for the Gore Creek Watershed Management Program, the Town of Vail has been involved with the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments (NWCCOG) on a variety of water quality projects. The NWCCOG created a water quality management plan that the Town of Vail adopted as resolution #6 of 1996. The resolution states that the Town will use this water quality management plan as a planning guide to promote and encourage reasonable and prudent efforts at protecting and improving water quality in the Gore Creek Watershed. The Town has received grants from both the EPA and the USGS to complete a comprehensive analysis of water quality and aquatic life (see attachment A). Staff has also been working on guidelines that closely follow the NWCCOG recommendations (See attachment B). These guidelines would help increase erosion and sediment control measures at construction sites and would also help protect riparian vegetation with out unduly impacting private property rights. The Town does currently ask for storm water management and erosion control plans, but we do not have any standards set. 3. QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL: Does Council want staff to complete and implement improved water quality regulations that pertain to erosion and sediment control? Does Council want staff to work on additional water quality regulations to protect riparian areas that are outlined in the NWCCOG protection standards (See attachment C)? A 1 ,,,chw,[i ? l.~ Town of Vail Water Quality Protection Standards (Draft) I. Control of Erosion and Sedimentation A. Purpose and Applicability 1. Purpose: The goal of these requirements is to minimize the water quality impacts resulting from construction and other land disturbing activities. Siltation is often a cause of water quality impairment in waterbodies in Colorado. 2. Amlicability: The following requirements should apply to land disturbances within 100 feet of a waterbody and to all land development disturbing more than acre. (NOTE: Town of Vail must determine minimum disturbance size). 3. Exemption: Occasions may arise where these minimum standards are either in- appropriate or cannot be practically implemented. In these cases a variance should be considered. Written requests for each variance should be directed to the Town of Vail Community Development' Department. B. Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements 1. Minimize Erosion on the Site. a. Phase construction: Stage and schedule the timing of earth disturbing construction activities, such as clearing, grading, road construction, and utilities installation to minimize soil exposure. b. Properly install erosion and sediment control measures before site grading or other construction, to the greatest extent practicable. c. Soil Stabilization: Disturbed areas and soil stockpiles shall be stabilized or protected to effectively control erosion. These areas should be surface roughened, mulched, or seeded and mulched, or otherwise protected from erosive forces if they will remain exposed and inactive for periods longer than 14 days. This requirement also applies if soil is expected to be exposed during winter to minimize erosion from occurring during spring snowmelt. Disturbed areas should be mulched, or seeded and mulched within 7 days after final grade is reached, weather permitting. On slopes steeper than fifteen percent (15%), or within one hundred feet (100') of any waterbody, exposed soils shall be stabilized using appropriate techniques such as hydromulching, erosion control blankets, bonded fiber matrices or other equally protective measures. Grass or straw mulch should be crimped, tracked . or tacked in place to promote surface anchorin& d. Temporary and permanent revegetation: Disturbed areas that will not be built upon for one (1) year shall incorporate a temporary cover crop to promote soil stability. Areas exposed for two (2) or more years must be revegetated with a perennial, native grass mix (or other grass mixtures as r........mended by the local Natural Resources Conservation Service office). Within two (2) full growing seasons of project completion, vegetative site coverage shall have a perennial herbaceous component equal to or greater than seventy percent (70%) of the adjacent undisturbed areas. e. Cut and fill slopes: Where cut and fill cannot be avoided, slopes shall be designed for long term stability. Permanent vegetation should be used as the priority approach to stabilization of cut and fill areas where slopes are less than or equal to 3:1. On steeper cut and fill slopes, stabilization may be attained by utilizing a combination of retaining walls, rock walls, up slope runoff diversions, terracing, slope drains, soil nailing, mulch binders, erosion control blankets, vegetation or other measures appropriate for the specific situation. Retaining walls over four feet (4') in height or step retaining walls shall be designed by a qualified individual. Revegetation or other methods of soil stabilization of the steps is required. The soil surface of cut and fill slopes shall not remain exposed without an approved method of soil stabilization. f. Construction in or directly adjacent to any waterbody, such as culvert or bridge installation, shall require measures to protect water quality and channel stability. This requirement may include stream isolation through the use of coffer dams, complete containment of the stream in the area of the disturbance, stream crossing structures, or limitations on the dates when in-stream work can be performed. In all cases construction shall conform to applicable USACE Section 404 permitting requirements. g. Protect new or re-routed irrigation ditches, swales, receiving channels and streams from accelerated erosion until conveyance section has established vegetation and is stable under flows for which the feature was designed. The minimum recurrence frequency storm during active construction for channel stability design is 2-year event for the entire drainage area served by that flow conveyance feature. Diverting off-site flows around construction sites can effectively reduce the design flow. h. Protect culvert outlets from erosive flows by installing velocity reducers such as gravel dikes, level spreaders or similar measures. 2. Minimize sediment leaving the site. a. Manage stormwater runoff flows to minimize erosion and sediment transport off site. Divert concentrated flows away from disturbed slopes and minimize length and steepness of disturbed slopes or use drains. b. Minimize sediment and mud from leaving the construction site by protecting access routes by either immediate placement of street base or construction of mud pads. Mud pads shall be at least fifty feet (50') in length and comprised of angular rock and/or a wheel washing facility. c. Protect adjacent properties from sediment-laden runoff by using sediment fences, and sediment or silt traps or other appropriate control options. d. Storm sewer inlets shall be protected from entry of sediment-laden water. This may be accomplished by straw bales, supported silt fence structures, dumped rock or other barriers. e. Divert off site runoff around construction site when practical. 3. Detention and Treatment a. When the contributing drainage area, including off-site area (unless bypassed), is greater than five (5) acres, one or more sedimentation basin(s) shall be constricted to provide a total of 1800 cubic feet of basin volume for every acre contributing runoff into the basin. The outlet of the sediment basin should be designed to empty the storage volume in no less than 12 hours. The basin's length should be no less than twice the width; otherwise a baffle may be installed to minimize short-circuiting. If the discharge from the basin is passed through a filtration device (i.e. a vegetated field, forested area, or a constructed wetland) the basin volume requirements may be reduced. b. Where the contributing drainage area is less than five (5) acres, a specific engineered-design for sediment trapping facilities is not necessary. Silt traps may be used to detain and treat runoff if the contributing drainage area is less than five (5) acres. c. Sedimentation basins will be removed after successful revegetation of the site. Embankments to be left as permanent facilities shall have a capacity to safely pass the 100 year flood and meet any relevant dam and diversion requirements of the Colorado State Engineer's Office. 4. Construction De-Watering a. Construction de-watering activities will conform with the State's CDPS construction de-watering permit requirements including total suspended solids with a thirty (30) day average concentration of no more than 30 mg/l, a seven ('n day average of no more than 45 mg/l, and a daily maximum concentration of 60 mg/l. b. Discharges from construction de-watering operations shall be done in a manner that minimizes erosion and utilizes best management practices such as velocity reducers, sediment basins, straw bales or other measures. 5. Inspection and Maintenance of Erosion and Sediment Control Devices a. Insnection. The applicant or the applicants designated representative shall inspect all erosion and sediment control devices after any precipitation that creates runoff and make repairs. At a minimum, erosion and sediment control devices shall be inspected every 14 days. An inspection log shall be kept on-site for review by town inspectors until the project is complete and submitted to the governing entity upon request. b. Maintenance. Erosion and sediment control devices shall be maintained in a manner to support their effectiveness. Accumulated sediment should be periodically removed from sediment basins and traps; straw bale and silt fence barriers should be checked for undermining and bypass then repaired or expanded as needed, and mulched soils shall be re-mulched where mulch has been lost or damaged. C. SUBMITTAL REQUMEMENT (NOTE: The Town of Vail needs to come up with a description of situations that trigger the need for an erosion and sediment control plan. Smaller projects may not require all of the following submittal requirements. Triggers for erosion control plans used by other jurisdictions include: grading permit, any disturbance acre or larger, any development larger than a single family house, developments situated on slopes in excess of 15% or within 100 feet of a wetland or other water body. Summit County states prior to site plan approval or issuance of a building permit for development proposal.) 1. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. The erosion and sediment control plan shall be prepared by a qualified individual in accordance with sound environmental and engineering practices. (NOTE: The Town of Vail will need to establish their own criteria as to what a "qualified individual" is). This information may be included as part of a Stormwater Quality Control Plan, if required. A concise erosion and sediment control plan shall be submitted that addresses site specific issues and contains the following information: a. A site man showing locations of anv existing structures. waterbodies or hvdrologic features on the site, including intermittent water features, wetlands and the 100 year flood plain boundaries. b. Locations of existing and proposed drainage structures or natural drainage features on the land adjacent to the site and within a minimum of 100 feet of the site boundary line, including as examples: street gutters, storm sewers, drainage channels, other water conveyance structures, wetlands or other waterbodies receiving storm runoff from the site. c. Existing topographv at reasonable contour intervals, to provide necessary detail of the site. The map should extend a minimum of 100 feet beyond the property line and show the location of the property line. d. Proposed development plan and grading clan.

Permanent stabilization - a brief description of how the site will be stabilized after construction is completed. 1. Plan view drawings of all erosion and sediment control measures showing approximate locations and site drainage patterns. Text may be necessary to accompany and explain the drawings. Typical erosion control measures should be depicted using standard map symbols. (NOTE: symbols are shown in the Urban Drainage Manual). m. Detail drawings - for those measures that are not typical erosion control BMP's or require specific engineering design, such as sediment basin outlet works. n. Calculations - Any calculations made for determining rainfall, runoff, sizing any sediment basins, diversions, conveyance or detention/retention facilities. o. Si mature block for owner or legal agent acknowledging the review and acceptance of responsibility, and a signature and stamped statement by the qualified individual acknowledging responsibility for the preparation of the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. p.

The intent of these regulations is to minimize water quality and flooding impacts resulting from increased imperviousness and land use changes which have been shown to degrade water quality and alter natural hydrology. 2. Aoolicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: These regulations should apply to any commercial or industrial development, new subdivisions, new development within 100 feet of a waterbody, and to any other development creating 10,000 square feet or more of impervious surface area. 3. Exemotions. Occasions may arise where these minimum standards are either inappropriate or cannot be practically implemented. In these cases a variance to these criteria shall be considered. Written requests for each variance should be directed to the Town (County) Engineer. B, REQUIREMENTS FOR STORMWATER & URBAN RUNOFF 1. Avoid direct discharge to streams or other waterbodies - Stormwater runoff from project areas likely to contain pollutants shall be managed in a manner that provides for at least one of the following: a. Direct runoff to stable, vegetated areas capable of maintaining sheetflow for infiltration. Vegetated receiving areas should be resistant to erosion from a design storm of 0.5 inches in 24 hours. b. On-site treatment of stormwater by use of best management practices designed to detain (see #4. Detain and Treat Run-off below) or infiltrate the runoff and approved as part of the Stormwater Quality Control Plan prior to discharge to any natural waterbody, or c. Discharge to a stormwater conveyance structure, designed to accommodate the projected additional flows from the proposed project, with treatment by a regional or other stormwater treatment facility prior to discharge into any natural waterbody. 2. Minimize Directly-Connected Impervious Areas - The site design should minimize the extent of directly-connected impervious area (DCIA) by including the following requirements. a. Runoff from fifty percent (50%) of all developed impervious surfaces (rooftops, parking lots, sidewalks, etc.) shall drain over stable, vegetated pervious areas before reaching stormwater conveyance systems. b. When impervious surfaces drain onto grass buffer strips (or the equivalent) the maximum slope the grass buffer strips is five percent (5%) and the gradient should be uniform to- insure evenly distributed sheet flows. Check dams may be necessary to maintain 5% slopes. c. The recommended design width (w) for pervious vegetated buffer strips, the distance along the sheet flow direction, shall be the greater of the following: w 8.0 feet w 0.2 L Where L equals the length of the flow path of the sheet flow over the upstream impervious surface. Practices other than grass buffer strips can be used to minimize DCIA. For example, play areas, parks, ball fields, and landscape features. e. The requirement that fifty percent (50%) of the impervious area drain to vegetated pervious buffer strips may be reduced if the outflow from the vegetated pervious buffer strip is directed to other stormwater treatment methods. Examples of other potential techniques to be used in conjunction with vegetated pervious buffer strip are: infiltration devices, grass depressions, constructed wetlands, sand filters, dry ponds, etc. 3. Detain and Treat Runoff - Permanent stormwater detention facilities are required to be multipurpose facilities; that is facilities that not only detain flows to historic peak discharge rates, but which also provide water quality benefits. Such detention can be either "on-site" or "regional" in nature; however, detention must be provided concurrent with land development. Specific design criteria for detention facilities include: a. Detention facilities must ensure the post-development peak discharge rate does not exceed the pre-development peak discharge rate for the 2-year and 25-year return frequency, 24-hour duration storm. In determining runoff rates, the entire area contributing runoff must be considered, including any off- site contribution. Off-site contributions shall be determined using the fully developed potential, based upon existing zoning subject to these requirements, of the area draining into the detention facility. b. To minimize the threat of major property damage or loss of life all permanent stormwater detention facilities must demonstrate that there is a safe passage of the 100-year storm event without causing property damage. c. Channels downstream from the stormwater detention pond discharge shall be protected from increased channel scour, bank instability, and erosion and sedimentation from the 25- year return frequency, 24 hour design storm. d. Removal of pollutants shall be accomplished by sizing dry detention basins to incorporate a 40-hour emptying time for a design precipitation event of 0.5 inches in 24 hours, with no more than 50% of the stored water being released in 12 hours. If retention ponds ("wet ponds") are used then a 24 hour emptying time is required. For drainage from parking lots, vehicle maintenance facilities, or other areas with extensive vehicular use this practice may require the additional use of a sand and oil grease trap or similar practice (e.g., constructed wetland, extended detention with no initial release, etc.). To promote pollutant removal, detention basins length-to-width ratio should be not less than 2, with a ratio of 4 recommended where site constraints allow. A sedimentation "forebay" is recommended to promote long-term functioning of the structure. Access to both the forebay and pond by maintenance equipment is essential. e. On-site stormwater detention facilities require a written arrangement which ensures that the facility is regularly inspected to ensure it is functioning properly and to provide any necessary maintenance. f. All permanent stormwater detention basins shall be designed by a qualified individual. 4. Permanent Revegetation - The requirements for permanent vegetation identified in Section I.B.(d) shall be applied following permanent revegetation standards are required: a. Revegetate landscape within 7 days after final grade is reached. Grass or straw mulch should be crimped, tracked or tacked in place to promote surface anchoring. b. On slopes steeper than fifteen percent (15%), or within one hundred feet (100') of any waterbody, exposed soils shall be stabilized using appropriate mulching techniques such as hydromulching, erosion control blankets, bonded fiber matrices or other equally protective measures.. c. Temporary measures for soil stability like mulch or silt fences shall be left in place until the vegetative cover has reached 70% of the disturbed area . B. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS [NOTE: add criteria describing when a stormwater quality control plan is required] 1. A site specific Stormwater Quality Control Plan (SQCP) must be submitted for review and approval. The SQCP should consist of a narrative report supported by exhibits, where necessary, and should be developed and submitted as an integral part of the site's drainage plan. The following information must be included within the SQCP, or identified in the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan or the drainage report: a. Name. address and telephone number of the applicant and the qualified individual preparing the report, if applicable; b. Proiect description briefly describing the nature and purpose of the development or redevelopment, the total area of the site, the area of disturbance involved, and project location including legal description; . c. Existina site conditions should be described including existing topography, vegetation, and drainage. If wetlands are present on the site they must be described according to the applicable Army Corps of Engineers delineation manual; d. A vicinity mar) indicating the general area and property lines; e. An exhibit or mar) of drainaae features and basin boundaries on the site. If the location of the SQCP BMPs are not indicated on the site drainage map than these BMPs should be shown here; f. Percentage of steer) slope areas must be calculated for the following conditions: Existing Site: areas greater than or equal to 15% areas greater than or equal to 30% Developed Area: percent greater than or equal to 15% w percent greater than or equal to 30%; g. Neiahborina areas must be described as to land use and existing pertinent features such as lakes, streams, structures, roads, etc.; h. A description of the stormwater auality manaaement olannina concept for the site. includina both structural and non-structural best manaaement practices; i. Hvdrolooic. hvdraulic and all other calculations used to size•and design drainage facilities and/or structural BMPs; and, j. Maintenance requirements for all proposed BMPs should be discussed including access, schedules, costs, and designation of a responsible party. 111. SLOPE LIMITATIONS A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Purpose. Disturbance and construction on steep slopes creates increased potential for slope failure, erosion, accelerated runoff, and subsequent water quality impacts. These requirements are intended to reduce those impacts. 2. Applicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: All development on slopes shall be in accordance with the following requirements: B. SLOPE REQUIREMENTS 1. Development is prohibited on slopes of thirty percent (30%) or greater. In situations where this limitation would prevent all reasonable use of the site, disturbance may be allowed but shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the area of the site equal to or greater than thirty percent (30%) slope. In addition, the following is required: a. A slope stability analysis by a registered professional engineer is required for proposed development features. b. Where steeper slopes are disturbed the activity shall be done in a manner that minimizes loss of existing vegetation. For example, it may be necessary to minimize the amount of fill for a road cut. IV. WATERBODY BUFFER SYSTEM A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Puroose. The intent of these regulations is to preserve riparian corridors to help protect the physical, chemical and biological integrity of waterbodies from adverse water quality and quantity impacts. Preservation of riparian corridors along waterbodies will help promote streambank stability and prevent increased stream temperature, accelerated loading of nutrients and sediments and other pollutants. Vegetation in the riparian corridor plays a critical role in the food chain for aquatic organisms. The purpose of the following requirements is to protect these functions of the riparian corridor. Current scientific research indicates that a "tiered approach" to waterbody buffers is more effective than a single setback. This approach provides more flexibility on the location and nature of disturbance in the riparian zone. 2. Avolicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: The following tiered approach to waterbody setbacks should apply to all activities that require development approvals. Where the development approval is for the "redevelopment" of an existing, nonconforming use, every effort should be made to provide for the restrictive inner buffer zone portion of the buffer system. [Note: The specific distance for the setbacks below may not work for all towns. These entities need to keep in mind that they will need to have a basis for the distances that they choose. Twenty-five feet (25') has been shown to be the absolute minimum effective "setback" and should still be part of the buffer system described below.] B. BUFFER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 1. Restrictive Inner Buffer. A setback of twenty five feet (25') [or the existing setback if greater, as is the case in Eagle County] measured horizontally from the typical and ordinary high water mark in average hydrologic years on each side of a waterbody or field delineated wetland is required. Earth or vegetation disturbance is restricted within this inner buffer zone. Irrigation and water diversion facilities, flood control structures, culverts, bridges and other reasonable and necessary structures requiring some disturbance within this setback may be permitted. The following items are examples of actions that are not allowed within the restrictive inner. buffer zone: a. Placement of material, including without limitation any soil, sand, gravel, mineral, aggregate, organic material, or snow plowed from roadways and parking areas; b. Construction, installation, or placement of any obstruction or the erection of a building or structure; c. Removal, excavation, or dredging of solid material, including without limitation any soil, sand, gravel, mineral, aggregate, or organic material; d. Removal of any existing live vegetation or conducting any activity which will cause any loss of vegetation, unless it involves the approved removal of noxious weeds, non-native species, dead or diseased trees; e. Lowering of the water level or water table by any means, including draining, ditching, trenching, impounding, pumping or comparable means; and, f. Disturbance of existing natural surface drainage characteristics, sedimentation patterns, flow patterns, or flood retention characteristics by any means including without limitation grading and alteration of existing topography. Measures taken to restore existing topography to improve drainage, flow patters, flood control, etc. must be approved. 2. Variable Outer Buffer Zone Earth and vegetation disturbance within this variable buffer may be limited where necessary to protect the integrity of the waterbody or special site specific features. For a specific site, this variable buffer may range from zero (0') to seventy- five feet (75') beyond the outer edge of the restrictive inner buffer zone described above (i.e. up to 125' beyond the high water mark of the waterbody during average hydrologic years or wetland boundary.) The width of this variable outer buffer zone may be undulating across a piece of property in order to in order to provide protection to site specific features. Site specific features that could trigger the need for either an outer buffer zone, equivalent mitigation, or a combination of outer buffer zone and mitigation include: a. Steep slopes draining into the waterbody or wetland; b. Highly erodable soils are present; c. Presence of unstable streambank conditions; d. The proposed use of the property presents a special hazard to water quality (e.g., storage or handling of hazardous or toxic materials); e. The area is needed to protect trees, shrubs, or other natural features that provide for streambank stability, habitat enhancement for aquatic environments, riparian area protection, or to maintain pre-development riparian plant or animal communities; f. The area provides habitat for plant, animal, or other wildlife species listed as threatened or endangered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service; g. The area provides habitat for plant, animal, or other wildlife species listed by the State of Colorado as rare, threatened, or 1 endangered, species of special concern, or species of undetermined status; h. The area is within the 100-year flood plain; i. The area is needed to prevent or minimize flood damage by preserving storm and flood water storage capacity; j. The area is needed to protect fish spawning, breeding, nursery and feeding grounds; or, k. The area is needed to preserve areas of special recreational, historical, archeological, scenic, or scientific interest. C. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS 1. Site plan submittal shall include delineation of all applicable buffer zones. These boundaries should also be shown on all clearing, grading and erosion control plans. Because the variable outer buffer zone is flexible and site specific, the applicant is expected to submit rationale for the size of this buffer zone and identify proposed mitigation measures to be used at the site. V. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Purpose. Hazardous materials stored or used in close proximity to waterbodies create a potential threat to fish and other aquatic life. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the likelihood of detrimental impacts to the waters and aquatic life from the storage and use of hazardous materials. 2. Aoolicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: The following regulations should apply to all non-residential facilities. B. REQUIREMENTS FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS STORAGE AND USE 1. Compliance with Regulations. At a minimum, all hazardous materials shall be stored and used in compliance with applicable state and federal hazardous materials regulations. 2. Storage Near Waterbodies Restricted. The storage of hazardous materials within 100 horizontal feet of any waterbody is restricted. When no practical alternative exists, site specific BMPs must be utilized to minimize potential adverse water quality impacts. Sand and salt for road traction, while not hazardous materials, shall not be stored within 100 horizontal feet of any waterbody unless there is no practicable alternative, in which case suitable site-specific BMPs must be utilized. Y 3. Spill Prevention. Measures shall be designed and implemented to prevent spilled fuels, lubricants or other hazardous materials from entering a waterbody, including ground water, during construction or operation of a equipment and/or facility. If a spill occurs it should be cleaned up immediately and disposed of properly. 4. Machine maintenance. Routine field maintenance of vehicles or mobile machinery shall not be performed within 100 feet of any. waterbody. Emergency maintenance can be conducted-until the-, vehicle or machinery can be moved. Routine equipment maintenance should be performed in a designated area and measures-such as drip pans used to contain petroleum products. 5. Fuel storage areas. Containment measures shall be provided for all fuel storage areas to prevent release to any watetody. Inventory management or leak detection systems may be required. 6. Waste Storage. Areas used for the collection and temporary storage of solid or liquid waste should be designed to prevent discharge of these materials in runoff from the site. Collection sites should be located away from the storm drainage system. Other BMPs such as covering the waste storage area, fencing the site, and constructing a perimeter dike to exclude runoff may also be necessary. VI. SNOW STORAGE A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Purpose. Snow removal often results in the accumulation of sand, oil and grease, metals, trash, pet wastes, and other pollutants found in urban stormwater. The purpose of these requirements is to promote responsible snow storage and management techniques to minimize the likelihood of these pollutants entering waterbodies. 2. Applicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: The following regulations should apply to all development. Single family residential units are exempt from these requirements if they are part of a subdivision which provides snow storage and removal. B. SNOW STORAGE REQUIREMENTS 1. An area equal in size to thirty percent (30%) of the area to be plowed shall be set aside for snow storage. Site specific analysis may also be used to determine snow storage requirements. [Note: This requirement is an existing standard for the towns of Vail and Silverthorne. A smaller percentage is appropriate for lower areas receiving less snow, e.g., Gypsum. We recommend that each jurisdiction adopting these regulations determine the appropriate area for snow storage in that area] 2. Designated snow storage area shall not be less than six feet wide. These areas shall be adjacent to the area from which the snow is to be removed when practical, shall not be included in any parking area required by the minimum parking requirements of the town/county and shall be contained in such a manner that runoff is directed through a detention or infiltration facility or other BMP that removes pollutants, including vegetated areas. 3. Designated plowed snow storage areas shall not be located in the restrictive inner buffer zone. (see Section IV, Waterbody Buffer System). Storage sites must be well drained. 4. In lieu of on-site snow storage, off-site snow storage may be approved if: (1) an appropriate off-site snow storage site is available; (2) arrangements for the off-site removal have been made in a manner assuring the continuation of such practice; (3) assurances of continued availability of such a storage site are made; and, (4) the alternative snow storage site provides adequate water quality protection through the use of appropriate snow storage treatment practices. 5. Design of snow storage treatment facilities for off-site snow storage facilities shall be in accordance with the following: a. Maintain existing peak flow rates for storms up to and including the 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event, in combination with a melt rate from the snow stock pile of 2 inches in 24 hours. b. Sites with favorable infiltration rates are encouraged. c. Minimize run-on by diverting runoff around stock piles if possible. d. Vegetate the storage areas with species appropriate to the site conditions. e. Discharges shall be nonerosive and/or measures shall taken to protect receiving channels. f. Good site access for trash removal and periodic maintenance. 6. Dumping snow plowed from roadways and parking areas into any waterbody is prohibited. C. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS 1. Snow removal and storage must be_identified for all development proposals. Plans for constructed facilities should be prepared by a qualified individual. 2. Off-site storage sites must submit proof of ownership or other legal arrangements for use of the area for snow storage. VII. WASTEWATER SYSTEM STANDARDS [Note: Municipalities and Counties also can regulate siting and extension of municipal and industrial wastewater projects under "1041" ( C.R.S. 24 - 65.1 - 101). If a local government has not chosen to regulate under 1041, these general water quality protection standards can apply to wastewater facilities serving any development.] A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Purpose. The purpose of the following requirements is to protect waterbodies from the detrimental affects of substandard, failing, and poorly operated or maintained individual sewage disposal systems and ensure that centralized wastewater treatment systems are meeting all pertinent regulations. 2. Aoolicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: Wastewater treatment facilities serving any development shall meet the following additional water quality protection standards. B. REQUIREMENTS FOR WASTEWATER SYSTEMS 1. Centralized Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Centralized wastewater treatment facilities shall be constructed, operated and maintained at all times in compliance with local, state and federal regulations. All development shall be connected to existing central sewer treatment system if the development is to be located with 400 feet of an existing collection pipe. 2. Individual Sewage Disposal Systems (ISDS) All ISDSs shall be designed, installed and operated properly at all times. a. Failure of an ISDS shall be deemed to have occurred if the leach field effluent rises to the ground surface, if the leaching pipes are full of solids, if groundwater monitoring data indicates that nutrients or fecal bacteria is elevated in the groundwater near the ISDS, .or if the facility is judged to be a nuisance by the County Environmental Health Department. b. Inspection and maintenance of these systems shall be performed by an approved contractor and a compliance report shall be provided at least annually by August 15 to the permit authority. c. Septic tanks shall be pumped at minimum once every five (5) years. d. ISDS design must be approved and permitted by the County Board of Health in accordance with the County ISDS regulations. e. New subdivisions utilizing ISDSs are required to have a contract in place with an approved contractor which outlines annual inspection and maintenance arrangements. VIII. WATER QUALITY PROTECTION STANDARDS APPLICABLE WITHIN WATERSHED DISTRICT OR SENSITIVE AREA OVERLAY DISTRICT A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Puroose. The purpose of this section is to provide additional water quality protection for municipal water supplies pursuant to Section 31- 15-707(1)(b)CRS or sensitive aquatic environments,. 2. Aoolicabilitv. NWCCOG Recommendation: These requirements shall apply to any activity with the potential to affect water quality proposed within a watershed district designated by a municipality pursuant to Section 31-15-707 (1) (b) C.R.S., or within a sensitive areas overlay designed to protect the aquatic environment. Delineation of the watershed protection district or sensitive area overlay district should be provided on maps. Adoption of these special protection districts should occur through the prescribed public process for a new zoning classification.. B. STANDARDS 1. Performance Guaranty. In addition to any other security that may be required, a performance guaranty letter of credit or other security in a form acceptable to the permit authority shall be posted before any permit is issued in an amount sufficient to cover the full cost of restoring or mitigating any negative impacts to the watershed or aquatic environment caused during construction. The security shall be released upon a finding by the permit authority that: (1) construction is completed; and, (2) the post-construction watershed or aquatic environment is restored to the same quality as pre-construction conditions. 2. Increase in Pollution Prohibited. All non-point and point sources of pollutants caused or associated with a regulated activity shall not result in any measurable increase in pollution, as measured at the point of compliance established by the permit authority, over the existing water quality in any waterbody affected by the activity. 3. Drainage Alterations. Any alteration to water drainage courses shall be prohibited which increase or decrease rates of stream flow, increases sediment deposition, causes erosion to stream banks, result in increases or decreases of temperature, or otherwise causes injury to the aquatic environment. Impervious areas are prohibited within seventy-five feet (75') of intermittent streams and one hundred feet (100') of perennial streams. 4. Timbering. Any timber harvesting, other than to clear trees for structures, roads or driveways, or to protect the health of the forest ecosystem, shall be prohibited. 5. Mining.

ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES [NOTE: If the model water quality standards are integrated into existing subdivision and/or zoning codes, enforcement will be carried out in accordance with those codes. Stand alone enforcement procedures like the following also may be adopted. This section is a list of potential tools, individual entities will develop their own specifics] 1. Violation. Should the permit authority discover any violation of any water quality protection standard, the permit authority shall cause to be attached a "notice of violation" to the property and attempt to deliver a copy of same to the owner or occupier of the property. If the violation is not remedied or an agreement has not been reached on a corrective action plan, the permit authority may revoke any development use permit or approval subject to the water quality protection standards. 2. Financial Guarantees. An irrevocable letter of credit or other financial guarantee deemed adequate by the permit authority may be required to be posted by the landowner or developer prior to issuance of occupancy permits to guarantee the success of measures needed to meet these water quality performance standards for two years from the date occupancy permits are issued. 3. Penalties. Any person engaging in any activity that is not in compliance with the water quality protection regulations may be enjoined by the permit authority from engaging in such activity and shall be subject to such other criminal or civil liability as may be prescribed by law, including payment of costs and reasonable attorneys fees. All remedies shall be cumulative. 4. Inspection. The Permit Authority may enter and inspect any property subject to these water quality standards at reasonable hours for the purpose of determining whether the activity is in violation- of the provisions of these regulations. 5. Exemptions. As with any design criteria, occasions may arise where the minimum standards are either inappropriate or cannot be practically implemented. In these cases a variance to these criteria shall be considered. Written requests for each variance should be directed to the Town (County) Engineer. ggtwqps2.sam LW 12/30/97 t Memorandum To: The Vail Town Council From: Joe Russell, Police Commander Date: May 31 2000 Re: Dismount zone survey for the Vail Village and Lionshead Background: In April the Vail Town Council asked the Vail Police Department to survey the Vail.

Survey Responses: 56 Positive. 12.7% Negative. 54.5% No Impact. 34.5% Accidents in the Vail Village and Lionshead,: We have no reported accident information regarding Bicycle, Skate Board, or inline skate accidents in the proposed dismount zones for Vail Village or Lionshead during 1999 or 2000. Dismount Zones in other cities. We have contacted the following areas to determine if they have dismount zones in their city: Denver, Ft. Collins, Durango, Boulder, Aspen. Denver has a dismount zone on the 16`h street mall. It is for Bikes, Skateboards, and Blades. The dismount zone is in effect Monday through Saturday. Denver has adopted special legislation that makes the 16`h street mall a dismount zone. They have then taken the bicycle laws and adapted them to apply to skate boards and roller blades. Ft. Collins has a municipal ordinance regarding dismount zones however their municipal ordinance has been challenged in the courts and has been ruled to be to over broad and lacking specific details. Durango has no dismount zone of any kind. Boulder has a dismount zone on the Pearl street mall, however they have not provided us with any information after numerous calls and requests for information. Aspen has a dismount zone in the down town mall. The mall bans bikes, skateboards, and inline skates. Aspen has signs posted on the end of the mall advising it is a pedestrian area. Aspen PD strives for voluntary compliance with their ordinance. They also advise that enforcement is not consistent and it is difficult to enforce. Current Laws. The 1977 Model traffic code and the newer 1995 Model traffic code give us very few options to legally regulate Bicyclists, skate boarders, and inline skaters. The Model Traffic code states that all bicyclists are required to obey the traffic laws and traffic control devices. Section 17 of the Model Traffic code regulates bicycle operations and their responsibilities. Section 21-5 of the Model Traffic code prohibits snowmobiles, skis, toboggans, coasters, skates, and similar devices from being on any Town of Vail Street. The Town of Vail Municipal ordinance 7-7-2 prohibits skate boarding, roller skating, roller blading, and bicycling in the Village and Lionshead parking garages except for the Police Department for official duties. If a dismount zone were to be adopted by the Town of Vail additional ordinances would need to be adopted to legally regulate a dismount zone by the Vail Police Department. Recommendations: A dismount zone in the Vail Village and Lionshead would increase safety. However there is an overwhelming feeling from the community that a dismount zone would not be supported in the Town of.Vail. Therefore the Vail Police Department would not recommend a dismount zone in the Vail Village and Lionshead. Attachments: A copy of the proposed dismount zone map of the Vail Village and Lionshead.

The meeting was called to order at approximately 7:00 P.M. COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT:Ludwig Kurz, Mayor Sybil Navas, Pro Tern Chuck Ogilby Diana Donovan Greg Moffet Rod Slifer STAFF ABSENT: Kevin Foley STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney Pamela Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. There was no citizen participation. The second item on the agenda was the Consent Agenda. Rod Slifer moved to approve the March 7th and 21St, Town Council Meeting Minutes. Greg Moffet seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The third item on the agenda was the review of the draft Town of Vail position statement on the proposed White River National Forest Plan revisions. Over the past four months, the Town of Vail hosted a series of meetings to solicit input from the public, various agencies and town staff regarding the proposed revisions to the White River National Forest Plan. The draft position statement represents the final product of these meetings - a synopsis of the Town's position on numerous forest planning issues raised during Council's review process. Chuck Ogilby asked that the statement be added that the Council is in support of Bypass Flows. Moffet asked to go on record of not being in favor of keeping mountain bikes out of the wilderness areas. Diana Donovan asked for the policy of "roads closed unless posted open" be included. Council asked that the statement be included that TOV does not support land exchange with private parties. Greg Moffet asked that "areas adjacent to Vail" be deleted under the topic Timber Activities. Brent reminded Council that with regard to ski area expansion, this plan not only involves Vail Mountain but also Summit County. Sybill Navas said she would like to see the Matterhorn area remain the same. Moffet said he did not want to rule out areas for trail running and mountain biking. Council agreed to include the topic of ski area expansion in their individual letters to the Forest Service rather than incorporate a unanimous comment. Rod 1 May 2, 2000 Town Council Meeting Minutes Slifer said he would hate to see Summit County have the ability to expand their ski area in the future and Eagle County not have the same opportunity. Moffet said he was not comfortable supporting the idea of no ski area expansion. Council was in agreement of requesting a buffer zone to prevent ski-in, ski-out properties that owned private property up against the Forest Service Lands. Council asked the Forest Service to look at environmental sensitive areas in regard to logging. Council asked that the wording be changed from "immediate area" to read "the White River National Forest" under the heading, "Permit Fee Collection and Revenue Distribution." Donovan requested, as well as the rest. of Council, that the wording "wilderness area is valuable to Town of Vail" be written under the heading "Recommended Wilderness." Rod Slifer asked for the word-. "require" to replace the word "appreciate" under the heading "Vail North of 1-70." Diana Donovan requested that a new category be added to include habitat. Chuck Ogilby encouraged the Council not to get involved with the issue of snowmobile areas. Diana Donovan said TOV would get credibility if the subject were addressed. Ludwig Kurz agreed with Ogilby to not comment on issues regarding snowmobiles. Sybill Navas asked if designated snowmobile areas were addressed would the areas set aside for this use be maximized or minimized. Rod Slifer said Council does not know enough about designating motorized and non-motorized areas to take a stand on this issue. Donovan asked that the wording "roadless areas protected from logging" be added to the letter. Donovan added, separating the uses of cross-country and snowmobiles, support the general philosophy. Moffet moved to submit the Town of Vail position statement of the proposed White River National Forest Plan to the White River Nation Forest Supervisor with the revisions as discussed. Sybill Navas seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The fourth item on the agenda was the first reading of Ordinance 9, Series of 2000; an ordinance amending Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code with specific regard to off-street parking requirements for properties within Vail's commercial core areas and variance procedures for off-street parking and loading. During the summer of 1999, the Town hired the firm of Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig to conduct an in-depth analysis of parking generation in Vail's commercial core areas. The primary purpose of the study was to determine the influence of external factors (mixed uses, transit/pedestrian trips, hourly variations in business activity) on parking generation. Currently, the Town's parking regulations do not account for these factors and assess parking requirements strictly by land use type and square footage. Given the inability of many properties in Vail Village and Lionshead to provide on-site parking and the Town's $17,917 per space parking pay-in-lieu fee, staff realized a need to produce a more realistic assessment of parking generation in these areas. Greg Moffet moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance 9, Series of 2000. A vote was taken and the motion failed 3-3. Rod Slifer moved to revise the first motion and moved to approve the revised Draft A. Navas seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-1, with Diana Donovan opposing and requesting an intensive worksession with the Town Council to discuss Pay-in-Lieu before the next meeting. Navas said, given we are doing this with only 2 hours notice and knowing that staff will bring back the issue of "pay-in-Lieu" she would support Draft 2 May 2, 2000 Town Council Meeting Minutes • A. Donovan said she would not support either because both were premature. Jim Lamont said if the parking requirements are changed those spaces should be used for warehousing and loading. Johnathan Green, representing Vail Associates, said to get something on the table so that developers have a ratio to work with. The fifth item on the agenda was the Second reading of Ordinance No. 4, Series of 2000, an ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2000 and to enact Ordinance No. 4, "Series of 2000, adopting a revised approved development plan for Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn, Phase IV, to allow for the construction of the Vail Plaza Hotel; and setting forth details in regard thereto. On Monday, February- 28, 2000, the Planning & Environmental Commission held a public hearing on the requests for a major amendment to Special Development District No. 6, Vail Village Inn and for a conditional use permit to allow for the operation of a fractional fee club. The major amendment and conditional use permit requests are intended to allow for the construction of the Vail Plaza Hotel. Following an overview of the staff memorandum by the Town staff and testimony from the applicant and the public, the Commission deliberated upon and discussed the hotel proposal. Upon review of the relevant criteria, a motion was passed 4-1 (Bernhardt opposed) to recommend approval of the major amendment request to the Vail Town Council and a motion was passed 5-0 to approve the conditional use permit request. The Commission has recommended 21 conditions of approval. The recommended conditions and the specific findings of the Commission are contained in the staff memorandum dated February 28, 2000. On April 4, 2000, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance No. 4, Series of 2000, on first reading. In approving the ordinance the Council requested that additional language be added to the ordinance to further clarify the requirements and restrictions of the required employee housing. Specifically, Section 4 of the ordinance was amended and states that the 18 employee housing units include 38 employee beds totaling 9,618 square feet of GRFA. Section 5 was amended to include a condition prohibiting the resale of the Type III employee units and requires that the units be owned and operated by the hotel and that said ownership shall transfer with the warranty deed to the property. Moffet moved to approve second reading of Ordinance No. 4, Series 2000, with the following changes: Section 4, page 4, under the heading Density Units, strike the term "GRFA" and replace with "square feet of floor area". On page 8, Section 5, No. 24, to include the word "hotel" to "the deed to the (hotel) property;" and explain who is responsible for construction of certain areas surrounding the Vail Village Plaza Hotel. Navas seconded. John Dunn, the attorney representing Chuck Lipcon and other property owners at the Vail Gateway, stated for the record that they continue to oppose Ordinance No. 4. Jim Lamont thanked the Council for the inclusion of item No. 20. Tom Moorhead stated for the record that the notice that has been provided for Ordinance No. 4 is the same notice that Mr. Dunn and his client were asking for regarding Ordinance No. 1. A vote was taken and the motion passed, 5-1 with Donovan opposing. The sixth item on the agenda was the "Days of Remembrance" Proclamation. Moffet 3 May 2, 2000 Town Council Meeting Minutes v moved to adopt proclamation No. 3, Series 2000. The seventh item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report. Bob McLaurin informed the Council of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" class, being offered at the end of May. He urged Council members to attend; adding that this would be a great follow-up in regard to their Y2000 Leadership Summit meeting. Moffet moved to adjourn. Slifer seconded.

Rod Slifer moved to approve the April 4th and 18th Town Council Meeting Minutes. Donovan seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed 4-0. (Sybil) Navas arrived late and did not vote on this item.) The third item on the agenda was the first reading of the Model Traffic Code Ordinance No. 11, Series 2000. In 1978 the Town of Vail adopted the Model Traffic Code, 1977 edition for. the regulation of traffic within the Town of Vail. That Model Traffic Code was revised by the Colorado Department of Transportation in 1995. The Model Traffic Code intends to promote uniformity between the state's traffic laws and municipal traffic codes. The model traffic code establishes speed limits for both residential and commercial streets and roads. The model traffic code establishes speed limits of 25 mph in any business district and 30 mph in any residence district. In order to change the Town's speed limits from what the code establishes, it has been necessary to do site specific speed studies. The Town of Vail has conducted these studies and the results are reflected in Exhibit A, which is attached to the ordinance. Exhibit A recommends specific speed limits in our residential and business area. Slifer moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 11, Series 2000. Ogilby seconded.

Applicant: Town of Vail Planner: Brent Wilson On May 2, 2000, the Vail Town Council voted to approve Ordinance No. 9, Series of 2000 on first reading. The following is a synopsis of some administrative changes made to the ordinance since first reading: ¦ Section 1: 12-2-2 "DEFINITIONS" (oaae 1) -Additional language regarding the definition of "seating floor area" has been added for clarity. The definition of "gross floor area" has been deleted (the Town Council requested the continued use of the "net floor area" methodology for parking calculations). ¦ Section 2: 12-10-10 (oaoe 2) - The Town has historically applied a "mixed use" reduction in parking required for shared hotel/conference facilities. This standard has never been codified but has been applied consistently by staff, the PEC and Town Council over the past decade. The parking schedule for "hotels with conference facilities or meeting rooms" now reflects this historically applied reduction in required parking (from 1 space/165 sf to 1 space/330 sf) for associated meeting room space. • Section 5: 12-10-20 (oaae 4) - Additional language has been added to the criteria for special review (items A, B, C and D) for clarity.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this hearing is to review ten properties the Open Space Board of Trustees is unanimously recommending to the Town Council for consideration as designated open space. Attached are maps identifying the location of these ten properties. II. BACKGROUND The Open Space Board of Trustees met on May 2, 2000 to establish a list of properties for designation. After receiving public input, the Committee unanimously agreed to the properties identified in the attached Ordinance 12 in November of 1995 the Vail Voters approved a Charter Amendment, which created a process to designate open space uses. The margin of approval was 90% voting in favor of the amendment. This was a key next step in the Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan to create a process to go beyond zoning controls to protect Town-owned land with characteristics that make "open space" designation appropriate. An issue raised during the development of the Plan was that, Town-owned parcels can be rezoned or sold with the approval of the Vail Town Council. Section 13.11 of the Town Charter provides procedures for: 1) Designating parcels as open space; and 2) Removing parcels from a designated status. ' To date, 18 parcels and approximately 395 acres have been designated as open space. This includes 11.65 acres designated in 1999 and 384 acres designated in 1996. III. SUMMARY OF THE DESIGNATED OPEN SPACE PROCESS Qualifications for designation Characteristics of Designated Open Space. To qualify as designated open space, the designated parcel must be owned by the Town of Vail and zoned natural area preservation, outdoor recreation. or agriculture ooen space and be either: 1) Environmentally sensitive lands (wetlands, riparian areas, critical habitat identified by the Division of Wildlife, or the Natural Heritage Program); 2) High natural hazard areas including the 100-year flood plain, red avalanche hazard area, high rock fall hazard area, and high debris flow hazard area; or 3) Town of Vail parks that provide passive outdoor recreation opportunities. Steps to designate open space Step 1: Unanimous recommendation from the Open Space Board of Trustees concerning a parcel of land which meets the characteristics as set forth in these Charter (see above) Step 2: Town Council consideration of an ordinance to include such parcel as designated open space. Step 3: Approval by ordinance designating open space by the affirmative vote of three-fourths of the entire council for final passage. Steps to eliminate designation Step 1: Town council may consider the sale, lease, trade, alienation, partition, granting of an exclusive license or permit, use or zone change other than one of the open space zone districts identified in this Section of designated open space only upon receiving a unanimous recommendation of such action from the Open Space Board of Trustees. Step 2: The town council shall consider an ordinance referring such question of disposal of designated open space to the registered electors at a town election for their acceptance or rejection. The ordinance shall give the location of the land in question and the intended disposal thereof. Every such ordinance shall require the affirmative vote of three-fourths of the entire council for oassaae. Step 3: The vote of the town on proposed disposal of designated open space shall be held not less than thirty days and not later than ninety days from the date of the final council vote thereon. If no regular town election is to be held within the period prescribed in this subsection, the council shall provide for a special election; otherwise, the vote shall be held at the same time as such regular election, except that the council may at its discretion provide for a special election at an earlier date within the prescribed period. f IV. Recommended Parcels The ten properties identified in the attached Ordinance 12 meet the necessary criteria identified in Section 13.11 of the Town of Vail Charter and it is recommended that these properties be designated as open space. A map is provided to review the recommended parcels and which also identifies lands already in the open space designation. Based on available information, all ten properties are owned by the Town of Vail and have appropriate open space zoning. The total acreage of these properties is approximately 48.54 acres. As the Open Space Board of Trustees has unanimously approved these ten properties for . designation as open space. The Open Space Board of Trustees has found the ten properties considered for designation meet the criteria outlined in'Section III of this memorandum. The Vail Town Council must now consider an ordinance to place the suggested properties in such designated status. A 3/4 margin of approval is required for passage of this ordinance.

Following is the cost breakdown for the development of Ellefson Park, (Arosa-Garmisch Park). By value engineering the design of several of the park elements and through detailed negotiations with the contractor the cost of the project has dropped from an original $861,000 to the approved budgeted amount of $601,000. The number includes a contingency of approximately $35,000. The Town Council will be asked to approve a construction contract with Partaan Construction, Inc for the amount of $467,542 at this evening regular session. I am looking forward to beginning construction on this project and to proving an amentity such as this for the West Vail North neighborhood. A detailed construction schedule from Partain Construction will be available next week. Please feel tree to contact me if you have any questions. Ellefson Park + 2497 Garmisch Drive Breakdown of Estimated Project Cost 6-Jun-00 Contract with Partain Construction, Inc. $467,542.00 Town of Vail Design and Proje6t Management cost $39,700.00 Town of Vail construction costs Playground allowance $50,000.00 Site furnishings $8,200.00 Utility relocation allowance $9,000.00 Subtotal $574,442.00 Construction contingency $26,558.00 Total Estimated Project cost $601,000.00 Thank you. 1 C~~ RECYCLEDPAPER r MEMORANDUM TO: Town Council FROM: Steve Thompson DATE: May 16, 2000 RE: First Interim Financial Report for FY ending 2000 Enclosed are the first interim financial report for 2000 and the schedule of proposed supplemental appropriations and revenue adjustments. With the ski season behind us, we now have an opportunity to compare revenues from one season to the next. Revenues: The good news for 2000 is the majority of revenues generated by tourism were up over 1999 actual for the first three to four months of 2000. As the chart below shows (see last column), year-to-date collections of sales tax, lift tax and parking revenues are all up over 1999. County sales tax and real estate transfer tax is up year-to-date 13% and 15%, respectively. Building revenues are running about 10.5% below 1999 year-to-date collections. We are investigating building revenues further to get a better estimate for the year. Because November and December of 1999 sales tax collections were 10% below the prior year, we missed many of the revenue forecasts for 1999. Consequently, the 2000 revenue budget is now overly optimistic because it is based on the 1999 revenue budget. This leaves us short across all funds in 2000 by approximately $418,000. To reflect this reality, we are adjusting the FY 2000 sales and lift tax budgets down by $648,000 and $110,000 respectively. The increase we need in sales and lift tax in 2000 .to make the revised 2000 budgets is 3.7% and 10.5%, respectively'. Otherwise, we would be looking for an increase of 8.2% in sales tax, and 16.9% in lift tax over 1999 actual to make the original budget. We are increasing the interest income budget in the Capital Projects Fund by $200,000. This will help to offset the majority of the Capital Project Fund sales tax shortfall of $292,000. We are also increasing the parking revenue budget by $140,000 to reflect better than expected collections in 2000. This adjustment in parking revenues assumes no change in parking policies for the 2000-2001-ski season. ' A 3.7% increase in sales tax for the year requires at least 4.5% increase in sales tax from May through October 2000 and a 3% increase in November-December 2000. The 4.5% could be achievable based on the maturity and number of 2000 summer events. Major Revenue Adjustments for 2000 Revised Proposed Budget Year-to-date Amount Revenue Proposed Estimated Percent Budgeted for Adjustment Revised Increase Increase FY 2000 (Shortfall) Budget Over Over or Increase 1999 1999 Actual Sales Tax - General Fund S 8,949,000 $ (356,000) $ 8,593,000 Sales Tax - Capital Projects Fund 6,751,000 (292,000) 6,459,000 Subtotal - Sales Tax 15,700,000 (648,000) 15,052,000 3.7% 2.9% Lift Tax 2,000,000 (110,000) 1,890,000 10.5% 13.7% Parking Revenue 1,623,086 140,000 1,763,000 9.2% 19.8% Interest Income- Capital Projects Fund 100,000 200,000 300,000 Total Revenues 1 $ 19,423,086 $ (418,000) $ 19,005,000 1 Expenditures: The schedule of proposed supplemental appropriations and budget revisions provides additional detail and justification. The supplemental amount of $2.1 million seems excessive in and of itself. However, please note that $1.9 million of the $2.1 million appropriation is directly reimbursed to cover costs. The balance of the supplemental appropriation of $188,025 is to fund additional costs needed for various programs. The net impact of the supplemental appropriations and revisions to revenue projections amounts to a use of fund balance of $558,51 lin the various funds. We may be able offset this deficit in 2000 by having expenditures coming in under budget as we have in past years. However, at this time it is to early too estimate this potential savings. `b The first reading of the supplemental appropriation will be on June 6.

Ludwig Kurz, Mayor ATTEST: Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FR: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager RE: Town Managers Report DT: June 6, 2000 Newspaper Boxes Eight of nine cabinet clusters have been installed in Vail Village as of May 19. The 9th cluster, in front of Lakota/Hubcap, will be installed after a concrete pad is poured. Shims have been added to the bottom of some cabinets to minimize the slope. We're now working to create a bottom trim that will cover the shims to improve the overall look. Also, Bob Brown of the Vail Daily is heading up a team to work on a solution to the Ore House location. Any solution will need to meet the town's newsrack siting criteria as attached. Cabinet clusters in Lionshead will be installed the week of July 17-21, which will complete the project. As you may recall, location assignments in each of the clusters have been determined via a lottery system, a solution developed and implemented by the publishers and distributors. The distributors also have agreed to a cost-recovery plan to help pay for the materials and construction of the cabinets. This project is an excellent example of problem-solving through partnership and collaboration and is serving as a model for other communities. I'd like to congratulate the internal team members who have worked hard through the years to establish buy-in and cooperation from the publishers and to sort out the details: Tom Moorhead, Todd Oppenheimer, George Ruther, Suzanne Silverthorn, Charlie Turnbull and Larry Pardee. Once complete, a .celebration is in order! Donovan Park Process The Donovan Park Development Process schedule has been revised. As you are aware, the Design Team presented a proposed draft plan to the Vail Town Council and the Vail Recreation District Board on Tuesday morning, May 23rd. The purpose of the presentation was to inform the Council and the Board of the current status of the design process and to receive input on the proposal. The Design Team received direction to keep a full-sized basketball court on the lower bench, to eliminate the through site bus lane and to relocate the west-end parking spaces to the main parking area on the site. The requested changes have been made to the plans. The Design Team also received direction from the Vail Recreation District Board that the Board would be studying the proposal at their upcoming retreat and the Board's direction would be forwarded at a future date. The retreat has been scheduled for June 8th & 9th The Design Team anticipates hearing direction back from the Board by no later than Monday, June 12tH The revised Donovan Park Development Process schedule is as follows: Design Team Meeting Tuesday, June 13th 10am - 12 noon Vail Town Council (Information Update) Tuesday, June 13th 2:00pm Design Team Meeting Monday, June 26th 1 pm - 2pm Vail Town Council/Vail Recreation District Board (Discuss final proposal, cost analysis, & operation/management plan) Tuesday, July 11th, 7:00pm Final DRB/PEC Meetings Not Yet Determined Questions regarding the Donovan Park Development Process should be directed to George Ruther, Chief of Planning, 479-2145. 06/13/00 WS - 2:00 P.M.

CONTROL OF EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Pumose. The goal of these requirements is to minimize the water quality impacts resulting from construction and other land disturbing activities. Siltation is often a cause of water quality impairment in waterbodies in Colorado. 2. Aoolicabilitv. NWCCOG Recommendation: The following requirements should apply to land disturbances within 100 feet of a waterbody and to all land development disturbing more than one-half (1/2) acre, with the exception of agricultural grading activities. 3. Exemption. Occasions may arise where these minimum standards are either inappropriate or cannot be practically implemented. In these cases a variance to these criteria shall be considered. Written requests for each variance should be directed to the Town (County) Engineer. B. EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL REQUIREMENTS 1. Minimize Erosion on the Site. a. Phase construction - Stage and schedule the timing of earth disturbing construction activities, such as clearing, grading, road construction, and utilities installation to minimize soil exposure. b. Install erosion and sediment control measures before site aradina or other construction, to the greatest extent practicable. c. Soil stabilization - Disturbed areas and soil stockpiles shall be stabilized or protected to effectively control erosion. These areas should be surface roughened, mulched, or seeded and mulched, or otherwise protected from erosive forces if they will remain exposed and inactive for periods longer than 14 days. This requirement also applies if soil is expected to be exposed during winter to minimize erosion from occurring during spring snow melt. Disturbed areas should be mulched, or seeded and mulched within 7 days after final grade is reached, weather permitting. On slopes steeper than fifteen percent (15%), or within one hundred feet (100') of any waterbody, exposed soils shall be , l t stabilized using appropriate techniques such as hydromulching, erosion control blankets, bonded fiber matrices or other equally protective measures. Grass or straw mulch should be crimped, tracked or tacked in place to promote surface anchoring. d. Temoorarv and permanent reveaetation - Disturbed areas that will not be built upon for one (1) year shall incorporate a temporary cover crop to promote soil stability: Areas exposed for two (2) or more years must be revegetated with a perennial, native grass mix (or other grass mixtures as recommended by the local Natural Resources Conservation Service office). Within two (2) full growing season of project completion, vegetative site coverage shall have a perennial herbaceous component equal to or greater than seventy percent (70%) of the adjacent undisturbed areas. [Note: There may be related landscaping requirements such as protection of trees. Irrigation requirements for revegetation may be limited by in-house use only well permits. Performance guarantees, if used, should include cost of revegetation] e. Cut and fill slopes Where cut and fill cannot be avoided, slopes shall be designed for long term stability. Permanent vegetation should be used as the priority approach to stabilization of cut and fill areas where slopes are less than or equal to 3:1. On steeper cut and fill slopes, stabilization may be attained by utilizing a combination of retaining walls, rock walls, up slope runoff diversions, terracing, slope drains, soil nailing, mulch binders, erosion control blankets, vegetation or other measures appropriate for the specific situation. Retaining walls over four feet (4') in height or step retaining walls shall be designed by a qualified individual. Revegetation or other methods soil stabilization of the steps is required. The soil surface of cut and fill slope shall not remain exposed without an approved method of soil stabilization. f. Construction in or directly adiacent to anv waterbodv, such as culvert or bridge in shall require measures to protect water quality and channel stability. This requirement may include stream isolation through the use of coffer dams, complete containment of the stream in the area of the disturbance, stream crossing structures, or limitations on the dates when in-stream work can be performed. In all cases construction shall conform to applicable USACE Section 404 permitting requirements. g. Protect new or re-routed irrigation ditches, swales, receivinq channels and streams from accelerated erosion until conveyance section has established vegetation and is stable under flows for which the feature was designed. The minimum recurrence frequency storm during active construction for channel stability design is the 2-year event for the entire drainage area served by that flow conveyance feature. Diverting off-site flows around construction sites can effectively reduce the design flow. h. Protect culvert outlets from erosive flows by installing velocity reducers such as gravel dikes, level spreaders or similar measures. 2. Minimize sediment leaving the site. a. Manaae stormwater runoff flows to minimize erosion and sediment transport off-site. Divert concentrated flows away from disturbed slopes and minimize length and steepness of disturbed slopes or use slope drains. b. Minimize sediment and mud from leaving the construction site by protecting access routes by either immediate placement of street base or construction of mud pads. Mud pads shall be at least fifty feet (50') in length and comprised of angular rock and/or a wheel washing facility. c. Protect adiacent orooerties from sediment laden runoff by using sediment fences, and sediment or silt traps or other appropriate control options. d. Storm sewer inlets shall be protected from entry of sediment- laden water. This may be accomplished by straw bales, supported silt fence structures, dumped rock or other barriers. e. Divert off-site runoff around construction site when practical. 3. Detention and Treatment. a. When the contributing drainage area, including off-site area (unless bypassed), is greater than five (5) acres, one or more sedimentation basin(s) shall be constructed to provide .a total of 1800 cubic feet of basin volume for every acre. contributing runoff into the basin. The outlet of the sediment basin should be designed to empty the storage volume in no less than 12 hours. The basin's length should be no less than twice the basin's width, otherwise a baffle may be installed to minimize short circuiting. If the discharge from the basin is passed through a filtration device (i.e. a vegetated field, forested area, or a constructed wetland) the basin volume requirements may be reduced. b. Where the contributing drainage area is less than five (5) acres, a specific engineered design for sediment trapping 1 • facilities is not necessary. Silt traps may be used to detain and treat runoff if the contributing drainage area is less than five (5) acres. c. Sedimentation basins will be removed after successful revegetation of the site. Embankments to be left as permanent facilities shall have a capacity to safely pass the 100 year flood and meet any relevant dam and diversion requirements of the Colorado State Engineer's Office (also see Stormwater and Runoff Requirements) 4. Construction De-Watering a. Construction de-watering activities will conform with the State's CDPS construction de-watering permit requirements including total suspended solids with a thirty (30) day average concentration of no more than 30 mg/I, a seven (7) day average of no more than 45 mg/I, and a daily maximum concentration of 60 mg/I. b. Discharges from construction de-watering operations shall be done in a manner which minimizes erosion and utilizes best management practices such as velocity reducers, sediment basins, straw bales or other measures. 5. Inspection and Maintenance of Erosion and Sediment Control Devices. a. Inspection. The-applicant or the applicants designated representative shall inspect all erosion and sediment control devices after any precipitation that creates runoff and make repairs. At a minimum, erosion and sediment control devices shall be inspected every 14 days. An inspection log shall be kept on-site for review by (city/county) inspectors until the project is complete and submitted to the governing entity upon request. [Note: The City of Golden and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) inspection log sheets are attached] b. Maintenance. Erosion and sediment control devices shall be maintained in a manner to support their effectiveness. Accumulated sediment should be periodically removed from sediment basins and traps; straw bale and silt fence barriers should be checked for undermining and bypass and repaired or expanded as needed; and mulched soils shall remulched where mulch has been lost or damaged. C. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENT [NOTE: add description of situations that trigger need for an erosion and sediment control plan. Smaller projects may not require all of the following submittal requirements. Triggers for erosion control plans used by other jurisdictions include: grading permit; any disturbance 1/2 acre or larger; any development larger than single family house; residential development of 3 units or more unless situated on slopes in excess of 15% or within 50-100' of a wetland or other water body. Gypsum suggests 1 to 5 acres. Summit County says prior to subdivision or site plan approval or issuance of building permit for development proposal. ] 1. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. The erosion and sediment control plan shall be prepared by a qualified individual in accordance with sound environmental and engineering practices. [Note: Individual towns and counties will need to establish their own criteria as to what a "qualified individual" is]. This information may be included as part of a Stormwater Quality Control Plan, if required. A concise erosion and sediment control plan shall be submitted that addresses site specific issues and contains the following information: a. A site mao showina locations of anv existina structures. waterbodies or hvdroloaic features on the site, including intermittent water features, wetlands and the 100 year flood plain boundaries. b. Locations of existina and proposed drainaae structures or natural drainaae features on the land adjacent to the site and within a minimum of 100 feet of the site boundary line, including as examples: street gutters, storm sewers, drainage channels, other water conveyance structures, wetlands or other waterbodies receiving storm runoff from the site. c.

In most cases the information required herein will meet state submittal requirements II. POST CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER & URBAN RUNOFF A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Purpose. The intent of these regulations is to minimize water quality and flooding impacts resulting from increased imperviousness and land use changes which have been shown to degrade water quality and alter natural hydrology. 2. Armlicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: These regulations should apply to any commercial or industrial development, new subdivisions, new development within 100 feet of a waterbody, and to any other development creating 10,000 square feet or more of impervious surface area. 3. Exemptions. Occasions may arise where these minimum standards are either inappropriate or cannot be practically implemented. In these cases a variance to these criteria shall be considered. Written requests for each variance should be directed to the Town (County) Engineer. B. REQUIREMENTS FOR STORMWATER & URBAN RUNOFF 1. Avoid direct discharge to streams or other waterbodies - Stormwater runoff from project areas likely to contain pollutants shall be managed in a manner that provides for at least one of the following: a. Direct runoff to stable, vegetated areas capable of maintaining sheetflow for infiltration. Vegetated receiving areas should be resistant to erosion from a design storm of 0.5 inches in 24 hours. b. On-site treatment of stormwater by use of best management practices designed to detain (see #4. Detain and Treat Run-off below) or infiltrate the runoff and approved as part of the Stormwater Quality Control Plan prior to discharge to any natural waterbody, or c. Discharge to a stormwater conveyance structure, designed to accommodate the projected additional flows from the proposed project, with treatment by a regional or other stormwater treatment facility prior to discharge into any natural waterbody. 2. Minimize Directly-Connected Impervious Areas - The site design should minimize the extent of directly-connected impervious area (DCIA) by including the following requirements. a. Runoff from fifty percent (50%) of all developed impervious surfaces (rooftops, parking lots, sidewalks, etc.) shall drain over stable, vegetated pervious areas before reaching stormwater conveyance systems. b. When impervious surfaces drain onto grass buffer strips (or the equivalent) the maximum slope the grass buffer strips is five percent (5%) and the gradient should be uniform to-insure evenly distributed sheet flows. Check dams may be necessary to maintain 5% slopes. c. The recommended design width (w) for pervious vegetated buffer strips, the distance along the sheet flow direction, shall be the greater of the following: w 8.0 feet w 0.2 L Where L equals the length of the flow path of the sheet flow over the upstream impervious surface. Practices other than grass buffer strips can be used to minimize DCIA. For example,.play areas, parks, ball fields, and landscape features. e. The requirement that fifty percent (50%) of the impervious area drain to vegetated pervious buffer strips may be reduced if the outflow from the vegetated pervious buffer strip is directed to other stormwater treatment methods. Examples of other potential techniques to be used in conjunction with vegetated pervious buffer strip are: infiltration devices, grass depressions, constructed wetlands, sand filters, dry ponds, etc. 3. Detain and Treat Runoff - Permanent stormwater detention facilities are required to be multipurpose facilities; that is facilities that not only detain flows to historic peak discharge rates, but which also provide water quality benefits. Such detention can be either "on-site" or "regional" in nature; however, detention must be provided concurrent with land development. Specific design criteria for detention facilities include: a. Detention facilities must ensure the post-development peak discharge rate does not exceed the pre-development peak discharge rate. for the 2-year and 25-year return frequency, 24-hour duration storm. In determining runoff rates, the entire area contributing runoff must be considered, including any off- site contribution. Off-site contributions shall be determined using the fully developed potential, based upon existing zoning subject to these requirements, of the area draining into the detention facility. b. To minimize the threat of major property damage or loss of life all permanent stormwater detention facilities must demonstrate that there is a safe passage of the 100-year storm event without causing property damage. c. Channels downstream from the stormwater detention pond discharge shall be protected from increased channel scour, bank instability, and erosion and sedimentation from the 25- year return frequency, 24 hour design storm. d. Removal of pollutants shall be accomplished by sizing dry detention basins to incorporate a 40-hour emptying time for a design precipitation event of 0.5 inches in 24 hours, with no more than 50% of the stored water being released in 12 hours. If retention ponds ("wet ponds") are used then a 24 hour emptying time is required. For drainage from parking lots, vehicle maintenance facilities, or other areas with extensive vehicular use this practice may require the additional use of a sand and oil grease trap or similar practice (e.g., constructed wetland, extended detention with no initial release, etc.). To promote pollutant removal, detention basins length-to-width ratio should be not less than 2, with a ratio of 4 recommended where site constraints allow. A sedimentation "forebay" is recommended to promote long-term functioning of the structure. Access to both the forebay and pond by maintenance equipment is essential. e. On-site stormwater detention facilities require a written arrangement which ensures that the facility is regularly inspected to ensure it is functioning properly and to provide any necessary maintenance. f. All permanent stormwater detention basins shall be designed by a qualified individual. 4. Permanent Revegetation - The requirements for permanent vegetation identified in Section I.B.(d) shall be applied following permanent revegetation standards are required: a. Revegetate landscape within 7 days after final grade is reached. Grass or straw mulch should be crimped, tracked or tacked in place to promote surface anchoring. b. On slopes steeper than fifteen percent (15%), or within one hundred feet (100') of any waterbody, exposed soils shall be stabilized using appropriate mulching techniques such as hydromulching, erosion control blankets, bonded fiber matrices or other equally protective measures.. c. Temporary measures for soil stability like mulch.or silt fences shall be left in place until the vegetative cover has reached 70% of the disturbed area. B. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS [NOTE: add criteria describing when a stormwater quality control plan is required] 1. A site specific Stormwater Quality Control Plan (SQCP) must be submitted for review and approval. The SQCP should consist of a narrative report supported by exhibits, where necessary, and should be developed and submitted as an integral part of the site's drainage plan. The following information must be included within the SQCP, or identified in the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan or the drainage report: a. Name. address and telephone number of the applicant and the qualified individual preparing the report, if applicable; b. Proiect description briefly describing the nature and purpose of the development or redevelopment, the total area of the site, the area of disturbance involved, and project location including legal description; c. Existina site conditions should be described including existing topography, vegetation, and drainage. If wetlands are present on the site they must be described according to the applicable Army Corps of Engineers delineation manual; d. A vicinitv mar) indicating the general area and property lines; e. An exhibit or mar) of drainaae features and basin boundaries on the site. If the location of the SQCP BMPs are not indicated on the site drainage map than these BMPs should be shown here; f. Percentaae of steer) slope areas must be calculated for the following conditions: Existing Site: areas greater than or equal to 15% areas greater than or equal to 30% Developed Area: percent greater than or equal to 15% percent greater than or equal to 30%; g. Neiahborina areas must be described as to land use and existing pertinent features such as lakes, streams, structures, roads, etc.; h. A description of the stormwater auality manaaement olannina concept for the site. includina both structural and non-structural best manaaement practices; i. Hvdroloaic, hvdraulic and all other calculations used to size-and design drainage facilities and/or structural BMPs; and, j. Maintenance requirements for all proposed BMPs should be discussed including access, schedules, costs, and designation of a responsible parry. III. SLOPE LIMITATIONS A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Pumose. Disturbance and construction on steep slopes creates increased potential for slope failure, erosion, accelerated runoff, and subsequent water quality impacts. These requirements are intended to reduce those impacts. 2. Apolicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: All development on slopes shall be in accordance with the following requirements: B. SLOPE REQUIREMENTS 1. Development is prohibited on slopes of thirty percent (30%) or greater. In situations where this limitation would prevent all reasonable use of the site, disturbance may be allowed but shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the area of the site equal to or greater than thirty percent (30%) slope. In addition, the following is required: a. A slope stability analysis by a registered professional engineer is required for proposed development features. b. Where steeper slopes are disturbed the activity shall be done in a manner that minimizes loss of existing vegetation. For example, it may be necessary to minimize the amount of fill for a road cut. IV. WATERBODY BUFFER SYSTEM A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Purpose. The intent of these regulations is to preserve riparian corridors to help protect the physical, chemical and biological integrity of waterbodies from adverse water quality and quantity impacts. Preservation of riparian corridors along waterbodies will help promote streambank stability and prevent increased stream temperature, accelerated loading of nutrients and sediments and other pollutants. Vegetation in the riparian corridor plays a critical role in the food chain for aquatic organisms. The purpose of the following requirements is to protect these functions of the riparian corridor. Current scientific research indicates that a "tiered approach" to waterbody buffers is more effective than a single setback. This approach provides more flexibility on the location and nature of disturbance in the riparian zone. 2. Applicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: The following tiered approach to waterbody setbacks should apply to all activities that require development approvals. Where the development approval is for the "redevelopment" of an existing, nonconforming use, every effort should be made to provide for the restrictive inner buffer zone portion of the buffer system. [Note: The specific distance for the setbacks below may not work for all towns. These entities need to keep in mind that they will need to have a basis for the distances that they choose. Twenty-five feet (25') has been shown to be the absolute minimum effective "setback" and should still be part of the buffer system described below.] B. BUFFER SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 1. Restrictive Inner Buffer. A setback of twenty five feet (25') [or the existing setback if greater, as is the case in Eagle County] measured horizontally from the typical and ordinary high water mark in average hydrologic years on each side of a waterbody or field delineated wetland is required. Earth or vegetation disturbance is restricted within this inner buffer zone. Irrigation and water diversion facilities, flood control structures, culverts, bridges and other reasonable and necessary structures requiring some disturbance within this setback may be permitted. The following items are examples of actions that are not allowed within the restrictive inner buffer zone: a. Placement of material, including without limitation any soil, sand, gravel, mineral, aggregate, organic material, or snow plowed from roadways and parking areas; b. Construction, installation, or placement of any obstruction or the erection of a building or structure; c. Removal, excavation, or dredging of solid material, including without limitation any soil, sand, gravel, mineral, aggregate, or organic material; d. Removal of any existing live vegetation or conducting any activity which will cause any loss of vegetation, unless it involves the approved removal of noxious weeds, non-native species, dead or diseased trees; e. Lowering of the water level or water table by any means, including draining, ditching, trenching, impounding, pumping or comparable means; and, f. Disturbance of existing natural surface drainage characteristics, sedimentation patterns, flow patterns, or flood retention characteristics by any means including without limitation grading and alteration of existing topography. Measures taken to restore existing topography to improve drainage, flow patters, flood control, etc. must be approved. 2. Variable Outer Buffer Zone Earth and vegetation disturbance within this variable buffer may be limited where necessary to protect the integrity of the waterbody or special site specific features. For a specific site, this variable buffer may range from zero (0') to seventy- five feet (75') beyond the outer edge of the restrictive inner buffer zone described above (i.e. up to 125' beyond the high water mark of the waterbody during average hydrologic years or wetland boundary.) The width of this variable outer buffer zone may be undulating across a piece of property in order to in order to provide protection to site specific features. Site specific features that could trigger the need for either an outer buffer zone, equivalent mitigation, or a combination of outer buffer zone and mitigation include: a. Steep slopes draining into the waterbody or wetland; b. Highly erodable soils are present; c. Presence of unstable streambank conditions; d. The proposed use of the property presents a special hazard to ' water quality (e.g., storage or handling of hazardous or toxic materials); e. The area is needed to protect trees, shrubs, or other natural features that provide for streambank stability, habitat enhancement for aquatic environments, riparian area protection, or to maintain pre-development riparian plant or animal communities; f. The area provides habitat for plant, animal, or other wildlife species listed as threatened or endangered by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service; g. The area provides habitat for plant, animal, or other wildlife species listed by the State of Colorado as rare, threatened, or endangered, species of special concern, or species of undetermined status; h. The area is within the 100-year flood plain; i. The area is needed to prevent or minimize flood damage by preserving storm and flood water storage capacity; j.

Because the variable outer buffer zone is flexible and site specific, the applicant is expected to submit rationale for the size of this buffer zone and identify proposed mitigation measures to be used at the site. V. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Purpose. Hazardous materials stored or used in close proximity to waterbodies create a potential threat to fish and other aquatic life. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the likelihood of detrimental impacts to the waters and aquatic life from the storage and use of hazardous materials. 2. Applicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: The following regulations should apply to all non-residential facilities. B. REQUIREMENTS FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS STORAGE AND USE 1. Compliance with Regulations. At a minimum, all hazardous materials shall be stored and used in compliance with applicable state and federal hazardous materials regulations. 2. Storage Near Waterbodies Restricted. The storage of hazardous materials within 100 horizontal feet of any waterbody is restricted. When no practical alternative exists, site specific BMPs must be utilized to minimize potential adverse water quality impacts. Sand and salt for road traction, while not hazardous materials, shall not be stored within 100 horizontal feet of any waterbody unless there is no practicable alternative, in which case suitable site-specific BMPs must be utilized. 3. Spill Prevention. Measures shall be designed and implemented to prevent spilled fuels, lubricants or other hazardous materials from entering a waterbody, including ground water, during construction or operation of a equipment and/or facility. If a spill occurs it should be cleaned up immediately and disposed of properly. 4. Machine maintenance. Routine field maintenance of vehicles or mobile machinery shall not be performed within 100 feet of any waterbody. Emergency maintenance can be conducted until the vehicle or machinery can be moved. Routine equipment maintenance should be performed in a designated area and measures such as drip pans used to contain petroleum products. 5. Fuel storage areas. Containment measures shall be provided for all fuel storage areas to prevent release to any waterbody. Inventory management or leak detection systems may be required. 6. Waste Storage. Areas used for the collection and temporary storage of solid or liquid waste should be designed to prevent discharge of these materials in runoff from the site. Collection sites should be located away from the storm drainage system. Other BMPs such as covering the waste storage area, fencing the site, and constructing a perimeter dike to exclude runoff may also be necessary. VI. SNOW STORAGE A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Purpose. Snow removal often results in the accumulation of sand, oil and grease, metals, trash, pet wastes, and other pollutants found in urban stormwater. The purpose of these requirements is to promote responsible snow storage and management techniques to minimize the likelihood of these pollutants entering waterbodies. 2. Aoolicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: The following regulations should apply to all development. Single family residential units are exempt from these requirements if they are part of a subdivision which provides snow storage and removal. B. SNOW STORAGE REQUIREMENTS 1. An area equal in size to thirty percent (30%) of the area to be plowed shall be set aside for snow storage. Site specific analysis may also be used to determine snow storage requirements. [Note: This requirement is an existing standard for the towns of Vail and Silverthorne. A smaller percentage is appropriate for lower areas receiving less snow, e.g., Gypsum. We recommend that each jurisdiction adopting these regulations determine the appropriate area for snow storage in that area] 2. Designated snow storage area shall not be less than six feet wide. These areas shall be adjacent to the area from which the snow is to be removed when practical, shall not be included in any parking area required by the minimum parking requirements of the town/county and shall be contained in such a manner that runoff is directed through a detention or infiltration facility or other BMP that removes pollutants, including vegetated areas. -6.,. 3. Designated plowed snow storage areas shall not be located in the restrictive inner buffer zone. (see Section IV, Waterbody Buffer System). Storage sites must be well drained. 4. In lieu of on-site snow storage, off-site snow storage may be approved if: (1) an appropriate off-site snow storage site is available; (2) arrangements for the off-site removal have been made in a manner assuring the continuation of such practice; (3) assurances of continued availability of such a storage site are made; and, (4) the alternative snow storage site provides adequate water quality protection through the use of appropriate snow storage treatment practices. 5. Design of snow storage treatment facilities for off-site snow storage facilities shall be in accordance with the following: a. Maintain existing peak flow rates for storms up to and including the 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event, in combination with a melt rate from the snow stock pile of 2 inches in 24 hours. b. Sites with favorable infiltration rates are encouraged. c. Minimize run-on by diverting runoff around stock piles if possible. d. Vegetate the storage areas with species appropriate to the site conditions. e. Discharges shall be nonerosive and/or measures shall taken to protect receiving channels. f. Good site access for trash removal and periodic maintenance. 6. Dumping snow plowed from roadways and parking areas into any waterbody is prohibited. C. SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS 1. Snow removal and storage must be identified for all development proposals. Plans for constructed facilities should be prepared by a qualified individual. 2. Off-site storage sites must submit proof of ownership or other legal arrangements for use of the area for snow storage. VII. WASTEWATER SYSTEM STANDARDS [Note: Municipalities and Counties also can regulate siting and extension of municipal and industrial wastewater projects under "1041" ( C.R.S. 24 - 65.1 - 101). If a local government has not chosen to regulate under 1041, these general water quality protection standards can apply to wastewater facilities serving any development.] A. PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY 1. Purcose. The purpose of the following requirements is to protect waterbodies from the detrimental affects of substandard, failing, and poorly operated or maintained individual sewage disposal systems and ensure that centralized wastewater treatment systems are meeting all pertinent regulations. 2. Aoolicability. NWCCOG Recommendation: Wastewater treatment facilities serving any development shall meet the following additional water quality protection standards. B. REQUIREMENTS FOR WASTEWATER SYSTEMS 1. Centralized Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Centralized wastewater treatment facilities shall be constructed, operated and maintained at all times in compliance with local, state and federal regulations. All development shall be connected to existing central sewer treatment system if the development is to be located with 400 feet of an existing collection pipe. 2. Individual Sewage Disposal Systems (ISDS) All ISDSs shall be designed, installed and operated properly at all times. a. Failure of an ISDS shall be deemed to have occurred if the leach field effluent rises to the ground surface, if the leaching pipes are full of solids, if groundwater monitoring data indicates that nutrients or fecal bacteria is elevated in the groundwater near the ISDS, or if the facility is judged to be a nuisance by the County Environmental Health Department. b. Inspection and maintenance of these systems shall be performed by an approved contractor and a compliance report shall be provided at least annually by August 15 to the permit authority. c. Septic tanks shall be pumped at minimum once every five (5) years. d. ISDS design must be approved and permitted by the County Board of Health in accordance with the County ISDS regulations. e. New subdivisions utilizing ISDSs are required to have a contract in place with an approved contractor which outlines annual inspection and maintenance arrangements. VIII.
