AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE TOWN OF VAIL
COMMISSIONON SPECIAL EVENTS (CSE) AND GUIDELINES;
ESTABLISHING A COMMISSION FOR THE
PROCESS OF REVIEWING PROPOSED PUBLIC SPECIAL
EVENTS FOR THE TOWN OF VAIL; AND SETTING FORTH
DETAILS IN REGARD THERETO.
(30 MIN.)
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Two ordinances are being
presented with regard to the Commission on Special Events. One
is staff produced and deals with the skeletal construction of this
commission, thus allowing for operational policy to be formulated
with more latitude and as Council more clearly defines the
Commission's role. Staff has also included a second ordinance that
includes more specifics in regard to the special events manager
and policy objectives than is ordinarily included in these
organizational ordinances.
It has been Council's direction to move forward as expediently as
possible to formulate the conditions under which this Commission
will operate. Staff will be ready to make any modifications to the
ordinance between the work session and evening meeting on
Tuesday.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:
Approve or deny resolution #2
BACKGROUND RATIONALE:
The Booth Falls Homeowners Association is requesting that the Town of
Vail amend its hazard maps to show that approved mitigation exists for
the high severity rockfall hazard area that exists on this property . The
Association completed the construction of a rockfall mitigation wall in
November of 2001. This wall was designed to mitigate the high severity
rockfall hazard present on the site. An engineer and the Colorado
Geological Survey has concluded that the wall will effectively protect the
property from reasonably foreseeable rockfall hazards. On March 11tH
the Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed the request and
recommended approval of the mitigation with the condition that a qualified
engineer provide a recommendation prior to the Council hearing on what
annual maintenance should occur with the mitigation. A letter from the
Colorado Geological Survey was prepared to address this issue and is
included with the memo.
5.
Russ Forrest ITEM/TOPIC: Public improvements identified in the Lionshead Master
Plan. (1 hour)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:
Review list of public improvements identified in the Lionshead Master
Plan. Staff is requesting input on whether a conference facility should be
further explored on the North Day Lot and whether alternatives for the
transportation facility that was proposed on the North Day lot should be
developed.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE:
The purpose of this worksession is to review the public projects proposed
in the 1999 Lionshead Master Plan. In 2000, the Town adopted new
zoning for the Lionshead Area which provides incentives for private
developers to implement the plan on private property. The Town will need
to be prepared to move forward with public improvements now that Vail
Resorts has proposed their plan for implementing the Lionshead Master
Plan. In addition, staff needs to know whether to further explore a
conference facility on the North Day lot. Staff would like to review the
proposed public projects and the timing of those projects in relationship to
anticipated private development. Staff would recommend discussing the
financing at a follow-up meeting after Council has evaluated and provided
input on the public projects.

MEMORANDUM
TO; Vail Town Council
FROM: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager----r'
DATE: March 13, 2002
RE: STRATEGIC DISCUSSION -REVENUES
Introduction
As we have discussed on numerous occasions, the demands for municipal services are
exceeding the town's ability to fund them within our current revenue structure. The
purpose of this document is to frame the issue in order to help facilitate the Council's
discussion on Tuesday.
Historically, the Town of Vail, like most resort municipalities, has relied very heavily on
sales tax to fund the operation and capital requirements of the municipality. Other
significant TOV revenues include Real Estate Transfer Tax, state shared revenues,
interest income and property taxes. Property taxes currently provide approximately 7%
of the town's revenue collection. The attached graph shows actual revenue collections
for the fiscal year 2001.
Statement of Problem
Beginning in the early 1990's, the rate at which sales tax collections were growing
began decreasing. Appendix B is a chart showing sales for tax collections for the past
ten years. As seen in the graphs, sales tax grew steadily throughout the 1980's, but the
rate of growth began to decline in the early 1990s.
At the same time the growth of our principal revenue source was slowing, the cost for
providing these services continued to increase. Two factors, the labor shortage we
experienced in the 1990s and the wage rates set by down valley entities (e.g. Eagle
County) have driven up our labor costs faster than the growth of our principal revenue
sources. Also during this period services were expanded and new services were
added. These include frontage road maintenance, added park and path maintenance
as well as increased maintenance for the pedestrian and other guest areas. The
increased maintenance standards were added in the FY 2002 budget and were termed
"Vail Standards."
Policy Questions
In summary, the fundamental question that must be answered is; given the current
revenue and expenditure trends, does the town's current revenue system enable us to
provide services that support the resort community for the long term? If the answer to
that question is no, there are three basic strategic options that the Council could pursue
to deal with this issue. Addressing this problem could include one or more of these
solutions. The basic policy options include:
Reallocation of existing revenues
Collection of new revenues
• Continued reduction in costs and services
Reallocation of Existing Revenues.
Examples of actions in this area include the reallocation of the sales tax on a permanent
basis to provide additional revenue to fund operation and maintenance issues. In FY
2002 the Council reduced the amount of sales tax going to the capital project fund and
increased the amount going to the general fund. Obviously, this would decrease the
amount of money or funds available to support capital infrastructure. Another option for
reallocation of existing revenues is to expand the use of the Real Estate Transfer Tax
Fund. Specifically, these funds could be freed up to support capital related projects.
Essentially, this action would replace revenues lost by modifying the sales tax split.
Whether there would be a net increase in CPF funding would depend on the precise
levels of the transfer from RETT to the Capital Projects Fund.
Increased Revenues
Obviously, this issue is more controversial and politically volatile, depending on who is
to pay the additional costs. There are numerous options for raising new revenues. We
have researched these extensively over the years. For your information, I have
enclosed a document prepared in 1999 that explored in-depth potential new revenue
sources. Please note this document has not been updated since 1999. Some of the
potential options include:
• Increased property tax.
• Negotiation of on-mountain sales tax.
• Revenue sharing with the County.
• Increase the rate of the sales tax.
Reduce O~perating Costs.
The third alternative would be to reduce the operating expenses of the Town of Vail.
Because we've been dealing with this issue for several years now, we have been
continually minimizing operating costs. I believe that from your discussions with the
department directors, they believe that given the position reductions over the last
several years, that any additional reductions in operating expenses would result in a
decreased level of service. If this alternative is chosen, there would need to be specific
targeted reductions. Examples include (please note I am not proposing any of these):
targeted reductions in bus service, reduction in Library hours, increased turnaround
times for development review.
Obviously, I believe any reduction in service will severely undermine our competitive
situation with other resorts in general, and mountain resorts in particular. Therefore,
do not believe that this is an option that will sustain us for the long term. Also, this flies
directly in the face of upgraded service the Council has requested and funded, e.g., Vail
Standards.
Capital Needs
The town has had historically, and continues to have a great need for, capital projects.
For your information, I have attached the most current list of capital projects and RETT
capital projects. In addition I have enclosed a summary of our most current list for
Lionshead Public Improvements. The costs for Village Streetscape improvements are
listed in the memorandum from Greg Hall.
Conclusion
Like the previous memo on recreation, this memorandum is general. However, if you
need additional information over the weekend, please call me at home or on my cell
phone and I will be happy to provide it to you as quickly as possible.

FR: Bob McLaurin OOi~~t€3~''~.~

RE: Recommended Budget Adjustments
"An economic crisis for any organization means it is failing to serve its
marketplace. In some fundamental way, it is unable to serve its customers. And
if it is unable to serve its customers, it means it has failed to serve its own
internal people."
John Block
For several months -indeed -for several years, we have been discussing town
revenue trends and the impacts of these trends. During the preparation of the
1999-2000 biennial budget, the Gouncil agreed to adopt the 1999 budget on the
condition we address our larger financial problems in the spring and summer of
1999.
The required adjustment is approximately one million dollars. This amount can
come from increased revenues, reduced general fund expenditures, or a
combination of both. This is not an immediate problem. It is my
recommendation that this problem be addressed over atwo-year period in order
to minimize problems associated with these changes.
I am appreciative of the work done by the Senior Executive Team and the TOV
workforce. In addition to the work done by the Executive Team, dozens of
suggestions were submitted by individual TOV employees as well as by a
number of self selected teams. Many of the suggestions are included in the
Town Manager's formal recommendation outlined in this memorandum.
The Problem "
Flattening sales tax revenues and increasing general fund expenditures
jeopardize the Town of Vail's future financial well being. Expenditure increases
are being driven by increasing demand for municipal services from full and part
time residents, guests, as well as by tight labor markets. Furthermore, increasing
competition in other mountain resorts, as well as warm weather resorts (beaches,
golf resorts, cruise ships, etc.), places additional pressure on us to provide higher
caliber and expanded services.
Sales tax, our single largest revenue source, while growing,. is growing more .
slowly than the rate of inflation. Sales tax comprises more than 50% of all town
revenue.
Additionally, while revenue growth has slowed, we have been forced to expand
existing services and to add new ones. Programs such as expanded Internet
access at the Library, Free After Three ($300,000), the TOV Website ($40,000),
AIPP ($53,000), the affordable housing program ($300,000), and additional
maintenance of sidewalks and bike paths at the Main and West Vail
Roundabouts ($100,000) have added to the bottom line.
Objectives
The objective of our work is to ensure a sound financial future for the Town of
Vail. The recommendations are intended to reduce costs in areas and in ways
that impact customer service as little as possible.' The recommendations
attempt to focus our resources in the areas of guest services, technology and
infrastructure. We are striving to produce a government that works better and
costs less. Decisions must be sound regardless of the town's financial condition.
Finally, the recommended changes will not compromise the mission and strategic
intent of the town.
'It is understood there will be some changes in service levels, and in some selected cases,
reduction in services. For example increasing the transfer from the Capital Projects Fund (CPF)
to the General Fund (GF), would be a service reduction. All changes in service levels are to be
approved by the Town Council.

Police Department
The two vacant police positions have been frozen .and will not be filled until such time
as we know the outcome of a grant request to fund two narcotics officers. At such time
as we know the status of the grant (June 1999), I will be prepared to address police
department staffing and organizational structure.' It is my expectation we can finalize
any changes in the Police Department by mid June. Any reductions in force can be
addressed through attrition and reorganization.
'Since 1995, staffing levels in the police department have been as follows:
5 CSO positions eliminated (1995), 2 uniformed police officers eliminated (1996),
uniformed police officer eliminiated in 1998.

Systems Mapping Impact
Positive Implications:
• Would generate additional funds for investment in Town infrastructure and services
• Quality of the built environment would be improved
• Quality of the guest experience would be improved
More people would choose to visit Vail
• Residents would also experience the same benefits without a reduction in the
quality of parks and trails.
Negative Implications
• A petition should be anticipated that would make this a ballot issue.
• It could be perceived that Vail was anti-open space if we did not continue to
aggressively improve parks, trails and complete the Open Lands Plan
implementation.
Mapping Conclusion: Overall net benefit. Has high control, low risk if it is a public
vote/moderate risk if it stays as a Council decision, and high benefit.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends pursing this revenue source.

Allocation of Sales Tax to the General Fund
(Exhibit B)
FUNDING IDEA: Change the allocation of sales tax so the general fund gets a greater.
percentage.
REVENUES GENERATED: This does not generate any new revenues, but this
reallocation provides $250,000 for daily operations and fewer dollars for capital
maintenance and projects.
BACKGROUND: The town is required to split the sales tax 50/50 between the General
and Capital Project Funds. The sales tax split is currently 55/45 between the General
and Capital Project Funds, the dollar difference equaling $1.7million. The Town
Council can change the split with a majority of votes in favor of the budget. However, if
all the internal service and proprietary funds were collapsed into the Capital Projects
Fund and charge backs for personnel and HEF charges were included at $2 million, the
split would be more than 50% going to the Capital Projects Fund.
POTENTIAL REVENUE USES: To fund any service provided by the General Fund and
to support critical objectives.
SYSTEMS MAPPING IMPACT
Who does it affect? Residents, investors, commercial interests
How Much? $250,000 or 3.6% of capital projects
Enabling Resource Built Environment, safety, feeling special
Value Driving Resource Arrival, Here
Risk/Benefit
Conclusion: High control, low risk, high benefit:
Pros: Council can take action without a vote by the public. The impact to capital is
minimal. Allocation can be changed in the future.
Cons: Over 20 years this equates to $5 million in capita! dollars. Five million today
could be used for needed projects.
STAFF RECOMENATION: Use this solution in the short run to solve revenue shortfall,
keeping in mind the town's current financial situation and local demands for upgrades
and general maintenance to current infrastructure. In 3 years determine permanent
funding.

Position Paper
TCI Surcharge
(Exhibit C)
FUNDING IDEA: Authorization of a monthly 50 cent pass-through on residential TCI
Cablevision bills in Vail, as well as a monthly 25 cent pass-through for Vail bulk
accounts to be earmarked specifically for technology.
REVENUES GENERATED: estimated $40,000 per year (quarterly payments)
BACKGROUND:
The "Public, Educational and Government Access Equipment Fund" is authorized in the
current franchise agreement between the Town of Vail and TCI Cablevision signed in
1995. Implementation would require a majority vote of the Vail Town Council. This
equipment fund is not subject to the Tabor Amendment. Use of the revenue, as spelled
out in the franchise agreement, is "solely for PEG access equipment and facilities.
PEG access equipment and facilities are defined to include, but not be limited to, data
communications terminal equipment as well as video equipment."
As of April 1999, there are approximately 4,500 TCI residential customers in the Town
of Vail and approximately 5,400 bulk-billing properties in the Town of Vail..
POTENTIAL REVENUE USES:
In our research, it seemed clear that the pass-throughs need to be very visible and
something the citizenry sees on a regular basis. Additionally, the costs should cover
current Town of Vail services rather than new initiatives and the services supported
should be very specific. Three services meet this criteria for earmarking. They are:
Town of Vail Homepage Internet Project
This project is managed through the MIS division of the Finance Department.
Development and expansion of an in-house Town of Vail web site provides an
opportunity for interactive community information and provides outreach to second
homeowners. The project is already in the TOV budget and is very visible to the
citizenry. Project costs include telecommunications, home page setup, ongoing
maintenance,' equipment replacement and personnel. An estimate of the annual cost
for this project is $30,000.
Vail Public Library Information and Research Project
The Library budgets $40,000 for electronic subscriptions and computer hardware to
provide high quality information services to residents, second homeowners and guests.
The electronic subscriptions received over the Internet are mediated by the library staff
to provide validated information services. Users both inside the library and outside the
library benefit from this service. With over 100,000 users a year, the {ibrary is a
community hub where the project can be well publicized.

Mapping Conclusion: Helps to reinforce Vail as a premier resort community by
positively impacting personal development opportunities, the
quality of family lifestyle and the quality of the resident
experience.
Shouldn't negatively impact cost of living.
Risk/Benefit High control, low risk; high benefit.
Conclusion:
Insights from TCI: When meeting with the general manager of TCI Cablevision of the
Rockies, we found that TCI rarely receives a complaint from a Vail Valley customer
regarding TCI annual rate increases. Those increases have averaged under 5 percent
over the last six years. He is comfortable with the town authorizing collection of this
equipment fund and will n-ot publicly :oppose it. He advises that our action be well-
publicized to show community benefit and that we implement the fund alongside TCI's~
annual rate increase in January.
Pros: Contributes to Vail's success as a premier resort community through
continuation of lifelong learning opportunities. B spreading the cost throughout the
TCI subscriber base, the impact is minimal, just $y6 per year per household. This is a
cost many second homeowners would share, as well. Also, it appears the fund can be
turned "on and off" at the discretion of the Vail Town Council. In the future, a portion of
the fund could be use for equipment requests from Channel 5 as well as the local
schools.
Cons: Could be considered as a "nickel and dime" tax by the Town of Vail, a
loophole.in the Tabor Amendment. There is a possibility that this "irritant" could force
some subscribers to move to a satellite dish, generating a loss of revenue for both TCI
and the town..

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Ask Vail Town Council to consider implementation of
equipment fund beginning January 2000 to be used for one or a combination of the
projects listed above.

authorized a similar equipment fund in a franchise agreement. Town Attorney has
favorably reviewed our assumptions on Tabor, implementation.

Increase the Holy Cross Franchise Fee
(Exhibit D)
FUNDING IDEAS: Creation of a Community Enhancement Fund by Holy Cross Energy
and an increase in the Holy Cross franchise fee from 3 to 4 percent.
REVENUES GENERATED: estimated $100,000 per year for Community Enhancement
Fund; plus another $100,000 with franchise fee increase from 3 percent to 4 percent. : , ~ .
(Current 3% franchise fee generates $318,000 annually).
BACKGROUND:
As stated in the proposed 20-year franchise agreement now under consideration by the
Vail Town Council, Holy Cross has voluntarily agreed to commit 1 percent of its prior
year's gross revenues to the Town of Vail on an annual basis through a donation to the
community enhancement fund. This new fund is in addition to the franchise fee of 3
percent of gross revenues collected from the sale of electricity to customers in Vail.
Also under consideration is an increase in the franchise fee from 3 percent to 4
percent. .
There are 7,900 Holy Cross Energy accounts in Vail; 15 percent are commercial; 85
percent are residential.
Franchise fees statewide span from a low of 2 percent to a high of 5 percent, according
to the Colorado Municipal League. Specifically,
101 communities charge 3 percent
10 communities charge 2 percent
6 communities charge 5 percent
2 communities charge 4 percent
1 community charges 3.5 -percent
. 1 community charges 4 2/3 percent
Approval of a franchise fee increase may be made solely by a majority of the Vail Town
Council and is not subject to the Tabor Amendment.
Over the past five years, Holy Cross customers have actually experienced a decrease
in their utility bills. Rates are down .6 percent for residential customers, 8.9 percent for
commercial accounts and 14.3 percent for street lighting. This is due to the ability to
buy kilowatt power on the open market.

Position Paper
Increase the Holy Cross Franchise Fee
(Exhibit D)
POTENTIAL REVENUE USES:
As written, the Community Enhancement.Fund is available to be utilized for the
following community purposes: "beautification projects, energy conservation projects,
equipment and technology upgrades for schools, scholarship funds, acquisition df open
space and/or park land and development thereof, sponsorship of special community
events, and undergrounding of overhead electric and other utility lines." It should be
noted that funding for this program is not a cost of doing business in Vail, but is a
voluntary contribution by the company. A customer pass-through fee will not be used
to generate these revenues.
Franchise fees from all utilities are currently added to the Town of Vail's general fund,
which is used for salaries, supplies and other day-to-day operations of the municipal
government. Any revenues generated by an increase in the franchise fee should also
be deposited into the town's general fund to offset increased operating expenses.
SYSTEMS MAPPING IMPACT (based on franchise increase only since Community
Enhancement Fund contribution will come from company's own resources and
will not be apass-through to customers):
Who does it affect? Residents, investors, commercial interests
How much? $8 average annual increase for residential customers;
$45 average annual increase for commercial
customers
Enabling Resource Expected cost of living
Value Driving Resource Community (Relative quality of resident experience)
Mapping Conclusion: The impact to expected cost of living will be minimal
and shouldn't negatively impact the systems cycle.
There will be a positive benefit to the resort and
community through the added quality of the resource
allocation to the Town of Vail budget.
Risk/Benefit
Conclusion: High control, low risk; moderate benefit

is aprivate-sector initiative approach that will produce community-wide and resort-wide
benefit. Franchise fee increase spreads the cost equitably throughout Vail, to include
second homeowners. The impact is minimal, just $8 annually for residential;.$45
annually for commercial.
Cons: Franchise fee increase could be considered as a "nickel and dime" tax by the
Town of Vail, a loophole in the Tabor Amendment. Also, with the Holy Cross
agreement for a new voluntary contribution already in place, some may say Holy Cross
has stepped up enough on its own without burdening the tax payers for additional
revenue.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Implementation of both funding ideas.

Collection of Additional Mill Levy
(Exhibit E)
FUNDING IDEA: Collection of an additional one-half mill levy.
REVENUES GENERATED: This would generate approximately $250,000 in additional
sales tax.
BACKGROUND:
This $250,000 would offset the increased costs associated with the new fire station.
Given the timing of the marketing election, we are not recommending this action at this
time.
This is one way to fund the additional operational costs for the new station. My
recommendation is the Council impose an Yz mill in June 2000. This will coincide with
the expanded fire service and will provide the $250,000 necessary to fund this costs.
POTENTIAL REVENUE USES: To fund staffing and maintenance of new fire station.

Free After 6pm Parking
(Exhibit F)
FUNDING IDEA: Change Free-After-Three to Free-After-Six, thus generating $300,000
in revenue.
REVENUES GENERATED: $300,000 in parking revenue.
BACKGROUND: The Town of Vail currently controls four parking lots within the
commercial areas of the town:
Ford Park 250 spaces
Soccer Field 65 Spaces
Viiiage Parking Structure 1250 Spaces
Lionshead Parking Structure 1200 Spaces
As demand for parking increased, the town built the 850 space Village Structure in
1976 and built the Lionshead structure in 1981. During the 80's, the town used army
surplus landing mats at Ford Park, providing approximately 500 spaces. In 1990, the
town expanded the Village Structure by 400 spaces. Paid parking existed in the
Town of Vail even prior to the 1976 construction. Vail Associates has charged for
parking at various locations since the very early days.
As the demand increased for the limited number of spaces, a method to control this
demand was to charge for parking. The cost of providing this managed parking
increases the need to continue to charge for parking at ever-increasing rates. The
revenue stream still does not offset the full cost to operate and provide for the parking
structures.
Various parking programs have evolved over the years to manage the parking demand.
These include:
The rate structure itself
1 1/2 hour free parking period
Free summer parking
Free after 3
Free after 6
Ford Park and Soccer Field free winter parking
Paid Ford Park summer special event parking

Increase County Sales Tax Rebate
(Exhibit G)
FUNDING IDEA: Increase the amount of revenue the town receives from the county.
REVENUES GENERATED: This would generate approximately $100,000 to $900,000
in additional revenue.
BACKGROUND: The Town receives 15% of the county's 1 % sales tax collected in the
town. This amounts to $500,000 (the county collects $3.5 million in sales tax off the 1%
in Vail). If the town collected another 25% from the county, it would generate an
additional $900,000. The town also gets a share of the county's road and bridge mill
levy, which in 1998 was reduced by the county, costing the town $96,000 in lost
revenue. The county also gets $100,000 of sales tax from on-mountain sales, whereas
the town gets no sales tax from on-mountain sales to offset infrastructure (bus, parking
structures, etc.) impacts.
POTENTIAL REVENUE USES: To fund any service or infrastructure improvements to
attract and keep guests in our community.

reimbursement to the Town of Vail? Also, will other municipalities follow suit, thus
causing broader implications?

On Mountain Sales Assessment
(Exhibit H)
FUNDING IDEA: Collection of an on-mountain sales assessment.
REVENUES GENERATED: This would generate approximately $500,000 in additional
sales tax. - -
BACKGROUND:
There are currently seven restaurants and significant retail/skier services spaces on
Vail Mountain. Additionally, Vail Resorts offers tubing, biking, snowmobiling at
Adventure Ridge and a free gondola after 4:00 p.m. All transactions on Vail Mountain
pay a 4-'h% sales tax. Three percent goes the State of Colorado, 1 % goes to the
Eagle County General Fund and'/z% funds the ECO Transportation System. Vail
Resorts also pays. afee-in-lieu of taxes to the federal government for the use of USFS
land. Finally all lift tickets are subject to a 4% Town of Vail lift tax which generates
approximately $2 million annually.
We believe that on-mountain activities do impact Town of Vail services and
infrastructure and an assessment on these economic activities should be collected to
offset the additional costs.
The Town has no legal authority to impose a TOV sales tax outside the corporate
limits. Any attempt to annex the mountain would be opposed by Vail Resorts as well as
the Forest Service. Another alternative for formally addressing this issue is to pass
federal legislation that would authorize the TOV to collect on-mountain fees. This is a
long-term approach and would be very difficult in that it would be opposed by the
National Ski Areas Association and other permit holders on National Forest lands.'
We have approached Vail Resorts about obtaining some revenue from the on mountain
transactions. They are concerned our fiscal situation could adversely affect the guest
experience. We are currently negotiating with Vail Resorts for a voluntary contribution
for on mountain transactions. If voluntary compliance fails, we will need to assess our
options for dealing with the matter.
'There are examples of US Forest lands under permit being annexed. Snowmass
Village and Winter Park have ski areas in their corporate boundaries and collect sales
tax for on-mountain transactions. Taos Ski Village, a municipal corporation, also
collects sales tax on-mountain transactions. The Beaver Creek Resort Company
assesses 4.5% "mountain assessment" on mountain sales, food, and beverage.

Subject: Review of the Lionshead Master Plan
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this worksession is to review the public improvements outlined in
the Lionshead Master Plan. A critical issue related to public improvements is
whether the Town Council wants to further explore evaluating a conference
facility on the North Day Parking Lot. This site was designated for a
transportation center in the Lionshead Master Plan. If it is used for a conference
facility further work will need to occur to develop alternative plans for loading and
delivery, skier drop-off, and shuttle traffic.
The Town Council has already reviewed a memo from August 7, 2001 that
reviews the public improvements outlines in the Lionshead Master Plan. That
memo is again attached for your reference. At the end of that memo is a scoring
sheet which may help you determine what you believe are the most critical public
improvements.
Staff would next recommend discussing financing options and creating a policy
for build to lines at the April 2"d work session. It is recommended that the
Council may also want to have an evening meeting on April 2"d to allow for public
input on public improvements, conference facility, and financing and then give
staff formal direction on these issues. After this input is received on April 2"d, the.
Town could begin developing a draft development improvement agreement with
Vail Resorts.

2.1
DISCUSSION ISSUES FOR MARCH 18tH
Public Improvements
The Lionshead Master Plan outlines over $60 million in public improvements.
Assumptions are made in the plan regarding cost sharing for public
improvements. For example the Town has already obtained funding from the
Marriott and Antlers to help with road improvements outline in the plan. The
public improvements and their estimated costs include:
Total
North Day Lot
Frontage Road
East Lionshead Portal
East Lionshead Circle
Pedestrian Streetscape
West Lionshead Circle
Parking
Park in Lionshead
Total
Total
$15 mil
$15 mil
$3 mil
$1 mil
$9 mil
$1.5 mil
$15 mil
$.79 mil (RETT)
$60.3 m
Staff believes the most critical public improvements that must be developed with
private redevelopment of Lionshead include:
• .Frontage Road (will be required by CDOT)
• East Lionshead Portal (includes loading & delivery on the west side of
LH parking structure)
• Additional loading and delivery & skier drop off capacity(North Day or
an alternative)
• New Lionshead Park
• Streetscape (heated pavers)
The Lionshead Master Plan -does state that 500 new parking spaces are needed
with redevelopment of Lionshead. Staff strongly recommends convening the
parking task force to develop a long range parking solution for the Town of Vail.
The public parking issue needs to be resolved before significant new
development occurs in Lionshead.
2.2 Conference Facility
Vail Resorts is proposing to provide the Town with a parcel of land currently
known as the North Day Lot for the purpose of building a conference facility. The
facility they are proposing would have a 20,000 sq. ft. ball room, smaller break
out space, and the potential opportunity to have an additional 20,000 square foot
ball room. In addition, this space would have loading and delivery facilities and
250 parking spaces. The potential economic benefits of this facility based on
market analysis from the Vail Center include $1.5 million in additional sales tax,
$20- $25 million in additional spending, and 60,000-90,000 in additional room
nights. It is unknown what the capital costs are for a North Day lot conference
facility. The Vail Center project was stopped before further work could be done
on operational costs. However, the market analysis projects that it could be a
break-even operation if operated aggressively. However, It would be more
conservative to plan on an operational deficit. The only major difference between
a conference facility on the Charter Bus Lot and the North Day lot is that the
North Day lot would require 250 structured parking spaces.
The North Day lot was identified in the Lionshead Master Plan as a transportation
facility which would help alleviate existing circulation conflicts at the East
Lionshead portal between, pedestrians, skier drop-off, shuttle buses, loading and
delivery, and the in-town bus. This transportation facility is intended to provide a
new entrance into the Lionshead retail area. Potential alternatives maybe
available to address these circulation challenges. However, the location of a
conference facility on this site would require further investigation to determine
how these circulation issues would be resolved.
The major questions related to this issue are:
1) Does the Town Council want staff to further investigate the feasibility of a
conference facility.
2) If the answer to the first question is yes- does the Town Council want to
compare the feasibility of a conference facility on the North Day lot to the
Charter Bus lot or potentially integrating the facility into a hotel property that
may be redeveloped in the future?
3. NEXT STEPS
The following steps need to occur in the next four to five weeks.
While discussions are moving forward on Lionshead, it is recommended
that the parking committee reconvenes and develops a recommendation
for a long term parking solution. It will be critical to know whether
additional parking should be developed at the proposed employee
parking structure at the Holy Cross site, on the Frontage Rd., or the
Lionshead parking structure.
2. Review public improvements outlined in the Lionshead Master Plan and
provide staff with input on priorities for public improvements.
3. Review public financing alternatives and provide direction to staff on
which financing tool(s) are most attractive.
4. Staff in cooperation with Vail Resorts and other private developers would
like to develop a draft cost sharing proposal for the Vail Town Council to
consider. A council member or two may want to participate in these
discussions.
5. A follow-up meeting(s) will be needed between Vail Resorts and the Town
Council to finalize a cost sharing agreement so that the Town has a clear
understanding of what the private sector is paying for and what public
funding is needed.

Subject Discussion on Lionshead Public Improvements
1. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this worksession- is to review the public projects proposed in the
1999 Lionshead Master Plan. The Lionshead Master Plan area extends from
Dobson Ice Rink to the Old Town Shops (See attachment A). Staff would like to
review the proposed public projects and the timing of those projects in
relationship to anticipated private development. Financing sources are reviewed
at the end of this memo but staff would recommend discussing the financing at a
follow-up meeting after Council has evaluated and provided input on public
projects. Specifically staff would like to request that Council:
• Review the problem statement and objectives. Concurrence with these
objectives is critical to moving forward in discussing public and private
improvements in Lionshead. It should be noted that there was and still
appears to be broad support for the implementation of the Lionshead Master
Plan.
• Provide staff with input on the critical public projects to implement. Staff has
provided a score sheet to rank the various projects on a scale of 1 - 5 with
five being the highest priority during or after the worksession. Staff would
.then synthesize that input and summarize the high priority actions and review
the specifics of financing options at the next available worksession.
2: LIONSHEAD MASTER PLAN PROBLEM STATEMENT AND OBJECTIVES
2.1. Lionshead Redevelopment Problem/Opportunity Statement:
Lionshead lacks the charm, character, appeal and vibrancy expected
of a world-class resort. It lacks a sense of arrival and sense of place.
Pedestrian flow through the mall can be confusing and disconnected.
The architecture lacks a unique identity or reference to Vai!'s historical
antecedents or its alpine environment.
Many of the buildings are physically aging and functionally under-
utilized, resulting in negative impacts to property values, private
profits, and public revenues. Potential hospitality, retail and
recreational uses, and community amenities are unmet or unrealized.
It would be short-sighted to ignore these conditions and do nothing.
The opportunity exists for the public and private sectors to act
collaboratively to renew and revitalize this important component of our
community.
2.2 Lionshead Redevelopment Policy Objectives:
Objective 1. RENEWAL AND REDEVELOPMENT
Lionshead can and should be renewed and redeveloped to become a warmer,
more vibrant environment for guests and residents. Lionshead needs an
appealing and coherent identity, a sense of place, a personality, a purpose, and
an improved aesthetic character.
Objective 2. VITALITY AND AMENITIES
We must seize the opportunity to enhance guest experience and community
interaction through expanded and additional activities and amenities such as
performing arts venues, conference facilities, ice rinks, streetscape, parks and
other recreational improvements.
Objective 3. STRONGER ECONOMIC BASE THROUGH INCREASED "LIVE
BEDS"
In order to enhance the vitality and viability of Vail, renewal and redevelopment in
Lionshead must promote improved occupancy rates (i.e., "live beds" or "warm
pillows") and the creation of additional bed base through new lodging product.
Objective 4. IMPROVED ACCESS AND CIRCULATION
The flow of pedestrian, vehicular, bicycle and mass transit traffic must be
improved within and through Lionshead.
Objective 5. IMPROVED INFRASTRUCTURE
The infrastructure of Lionshead, including streets, walkways, transportation
systems, parking, utilities, loading and delivery systems, snow removal and
storage, and other public and private services must be upgraded to meet the
capacities and service standards required to support redevelopment and
revitalization efforts and to meet the expectations of our guests and residents.
Objective 6. CREATIVE FINANCING FOR ENHANCED PRIVATE PROFITS
AND PUBLIC REVENUES
Redevelopment in Lionshead must be undertaken in a financially creative, but
feasible, manner so that adequate capital may be raised from all possible
sources to fund desired private and public improvements.

North Day Lot/Transit Center
LIONSHEAD PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
Attached is Chapter Nine from the Lionshead Master Plan which reviews the
complete list of projects (See Attachment B). The following is a list of high
priority projects described in the Master Plan. In 2000, the Town adopted new
zoning for the Lionshead Area which provides incentives for private developers to
implement the plan on private property. The following is a description of the
public improvements that were approved in the Master Plan that are intended to
be built as private redevelopment occurs. Many private property owners have
engaged designers to evaluate opportunities but significant redevelopment most
likely will not occur until the core site or Gondola building is redeveloped. The
Town will need to be prepared to move forward with public improvements at the
time the Gondola building moves forward with applying for building permits.
North Day Lot/Transit Center
Issue/Challenge: There are four modes of traffic currently at the east Lionshead
Circle entrance: pedestrian, skier drop-off, loading and delivery, and hotel shuttle
van drop-off. This creates an unsafe situation and an unattractive guest entrance
to the Lionshead retail area. Pedestrians currently have to negotiate through
through delivery trucks and cars to cross from the parking structure to the
Lionshead retail area.
Solution/Timing: The Master Plan recommends relocating the loading and
delivery uses and the skier drop off (cars and vans) to the North Day Lot. This
was a critical action in the Lionshead Master Plan that is to occur with the
development of the Gondola building. The development of this transit center
would also trigger acceleration and deceleration. lanes on the Frontage Rd. The
North Day lot is owned by Vail Resorts. The cost for this improvement is
estimated at $15 million without land cost. One of the other primary reasons for
creating a transit center on the north day lot is to create. a major new point of
entry into the pedestrian/retail core.
~,. ~ „

3.2 East Lionshead Pedestrian Portal:
Issue/Challenge: By moving loading and delivery and skier drop off to the north
day lot, a safer more attractive pedestrian crossing can be made across East
Lionshead Circle.
Solution/Timing: Implement the Lionshead streetscape plan for the East
Lionshead pedestrian portal. This needs to be done both in conjunction with
redevelopment at Vail 21 and with the Gondola site. In addition aback-up or
supporting loading and delivery facility is possible on the west end of the
Lionshead Parking Structure. If the development of a new transit facility on the
north day lot is not possible in the required timeframe, then a relatively
inexpensive loading and delivery facility on the west end of the parking structure
would be possible. A trade-off to consider with this location for loading and
delivery is that the Vail Center contemplated putting the skatepark on the west
end of the parking structure. Total cost for the portal is approximately $3 million
(this does not include a loading and delivery area on the west end of the parking
structure).
East Lionshead Circle SE corner of parking structure
3.3 East Lionshead Circle
Issue/Challenge: The Lionshead Master Plan identifies the need to improve the
streetscape along East Lionshead Circle and to connect to the West Meadow
Drive streetscape program to facilitate a smooth and pleasant pedestrian
connection between the two villages.
Solution: The estimated cost for improved streetscape and landscape between
the East Lionshead Portal and Dobson was approximately $1 million. The Plan
also proposed a retail frontage along the south side of the Lionshead Parking
4
Structure. It was contemplated that this land could be provide to a developer that
would create 1St floor retail development. This area has also been identified for
use by the Vail Center for youth recreational programs.

East Lionshead Circle-south of the Lionshead Parking Structure
3.4 Frontage Rd Improvements
Issue/Challenge: The Lionshead Master Plan transportation analysis assumed
that with complete build out of Lionshead there could be 589 additional dwelling
units and 93,000 net square feet of commercial uses. This could generate an
additional 160 trips into Lionshead during AM hours and 340 trips during PM
hours.
Solution/Timing: Additional trips are mitigated by the transportation facility on the
North Day lot and acceleration and deceleration lanes on the Frontage Road. In
addition, the Plan calls for landscaping along the Frontage road and landscaped
medians. Since the plan was adopted, the Town has discussed parallel parking
that would need to be designed. Total cost is $15 million. Payment for the
Frontage Road was assumed to come from the Town, private development, and
the Colorado Department of Transportation. The Marriott and the antlers have
.committed to the cost of Frontage Rd. improvements based on their estimated
trip generation. The total cost to the Town could be as low as $5 million if CDOT
and private development provided 66% of the-funds to pay for the improvements.

3.5 Pedestrian Mall streetscape Improvements
Issue: The first objective of the Lionshead Master Plan states "Lionshead can
and should be renewed and redeveloped to become a warmer, more vibrant
environment for guests and residents. Lionshead needs an appealing and
coherent identity, a sense of place, a personality, a purpose, and an improved
aesthetic character. "
Improving the streetscape and having property owners construct to the build to
line will create an exciting retai{ environment, which wiH be critical to the success
of Lionshead Redevelopment.
Solution: The plan calls for the development of 91,000 square feet of new
streetscape and landscape. The estimated cost for this improvement includes
the cost of heated pavers. However, further discussions are needed to
determine if from an environmental standpoint the area should be entirely
heated. This work should be done in conjunction with adjacent redevelopment.
The total cost is approximately $9 million. The Plan does assume that private
developers would significantly off set
this cost. This contribution could be ~ ~ ' r ~ ,~.,., ~~ ~_

The cost is approximately $1.5 million for this project. However, the plan
contemplates that 100% of this cost would be met by private developers.
3.7 Parking
The Lionshead Master Plan recognizes the need for additional parking in
Lionshead and Vail as a whole. Two sites were identified for additional parking.
First the Plan suggests an additional deck on the Lionshead Parking Structure.
This has a cost of $14.5 million. Second, the plan recommends was creating
additional public parking in West Lionshead in conjunction with Vail Resorts
development of either the-West Day lot or the Holy Cross Site. Additional
discussions are occurring with the parking task force on a short term and long
term set of solutions for addressing parking demand.
3.8 Gore Creek Improvements/Passive Recreation Area
There was interest in the plan for creating recreational opportunities within the
streetscape plan and enhancing Gore Creek. One specific idea was to improve
the wetland area across Gore Creek from the Born Free Lift. This area has been
improved since the completion of the plan by closing social trails, weed
abatement, and planting wetland species. There is a Lionshead Park in the
proposed RETT Budget for 2004 for approximately $790,000..
4. SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL FUNDING OPTIONS
After the Town Council determines the highest priority public projects to implement in
Lionshead it then is important to evaluate the various financing options. Staff will review
each option in greater detail at the next available worksession. The following table
provides a summary of the various funding options.

Tax Increment Tif is not a new tax. It generates revenue based on projected
Financing (TIF) increases in property values and sales tax. Instead of new
incremental property or sales tax going to other taxing entities
(county, schools) they would go to pay for improvements in the
district. The other taxing entities still make the same amount of
revenue that they did prior to the formation of a district. There are

The coined cliche of how people end up never leaving Vail is "I came far the

Slifer.Smith and Frampton. Working in Real Estate I expanded my horizons in Vail and

Art in Public Places Board:
1 am writing in response to the Public Notice given that the Town of Vail is seeking individuals to serve on the
Art in Public Places Board. My husband and I moved to Vail over a year ago, after he accepted a position
with Vail Resorts. Since moving here, 1 have been looking for ways to get more involved with Vail's Art
Community. Currently 1 organize the art classes for Scully's in Eagle-Vail. I have also volunteered at the
Vilar Center. However, I am looking for something more challenging. I believe my skills and quaycations
would be an asset to your Board.
I received my BA in Fine Arts from the University of Louisville and have been exhibiting my work since 1986.
My background includes directing anot-profit arts organization. As Executive Director for ARTSWATCH 1
enjoyed interacting with the community while 1 enhanced my writing, logistic, and promotioNPR skills. While
working with ARTSWATCH I organized 12 visual art exhibitions; implemented The. ear X-tact'/ARTSWATCH
Monday Music Series (international, national, regional, and local musicians) in which over 40 musical
performances were presented; oversaw the sponsorship and promotion of 3 theater productions; and.
implemented an installatioNpertormance series.
I also have over 6 years of diverse experience in the conventioNtradeshow industry. I have worked over 100
conventions/tradeshows nationwide for Convention Channel, Inc. As Operations Manager, I provided logistic
support and supervised the operations of the Convention News Service, averaging 35 conventions per year.
I have over 3 years experience managing Convention Channel's commercial production suite. As manager, I
was responsible for the production of over 1000 television commercials. (also played a significant role in
developing the production suite, hiring personnel, and scheduling.
In addition, I have 3 years of gallery/cafe ownership and operation. 1 have experience volunteering and
working with volunteers at the Afro-German Tea Room (providing inner-city youths with scholarships to the
Urban Montessori School), Actors Theater of Louisville, the Louisville Visual Art Association, and the Vilar
Center. Through these hands-on and managerial roles I have developed excellent skills in project
coordination, logistical planning, public relations, pnxluct/event promotion, and customer service. Having a
background working in the arts and the business worlds has given me a unique skill set to facilitate a
dialogue between the two qualifying me to set on a board such as the Art in Public Places Board.
I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your needs and my quaycations. I can be reached at my
home 479-2984, work 845-7650, or e{nail t ordon tach.com. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: Re-appointment to Art in Public Places
Dear Council Members,

the Seibert Circle Design Competition and Selection process as well as involvement in creating The Town of Vail Art in

To Whom it May Concern:
After teaching Ski School at Nit Bachelor for four years, I decided I needed to
fulfiil.m}~ dream. and. work at the biggest ski resort in North. America,
This led me to call. Vail :Resorts to ask for a job. I3uririg this phone call; I began
to get concrete reasons why ~'ai~ Valley is the best aki resort in North America. IJy ~e
end of the phone I was employed as a Children's Ski sChocil riStruct4r, my h6trsng needs
were taken care of, and I was put into ~sition tc> explore endless opportumty.
In addition to teaching Ski School; i worked at the Bully Ranch. This experience
allowed me tQ get an entire overview of what tourists and. locals experience in Vail. On
~ slopes anal ot~, prrdfessional customer service is of most importance.
The coined cliche of how people end up never Irving Vail is "I came for the
winter and stayed for the summer". Seeing the beauty of Vail year round I began to
investigate a way to live and work in the Valley year round. My next employer was
Slifer Smith and Frampton. Working in Real Estate I expanded my horizons in Vail and
area.. I w m people who wanted to move here and become part of
the community and my desire to do the same grew. When talking with them, we shared
the same feeling of the magic that exists in the valley, as well as the pride and health of
Llae as Im 199 d ~ at Pitkin ~a~c and have called Vail my home
ever s"mce. '~V"i'~h a base established I could see itbat ~Tai~I was a growing, thriving
community that needed young people to take charge and contribute to its development.
My nextpursuit was to own a business in the Vaii Valley. I looked at several
ercist~g ~s`n~ amd unto Ong my own. My attempts were ill fated, but not
e~atbr~l,~ 136Jitia ~~~ ~ a bit of luck, I foand myself in the right place at the
right rime. 'The PlatzTl was for sale and two of my friends who worked for Ski Patrol also
~eaced my dneann. l three young men wee contacted one other and purchased the
Platz'l. With great momentum, I gave mY two week notice and became the full-time
manager of the Platz'l. When I took over the Platz'1, it was in the Red and I had to work
extremely hard to bring it back too what it is now A great place far tourist to enjoy a
locally brewed beer with fantastic customer service.
l~verylhing that brought ire t®1fl~e Vail Valley...customer service etc. and kept
me here, I was now giving back. After one year of being a business owner in the Vail
Valley, I feel like I am truly a contributor to the community. I have employees who are
getting to enjoy the valley, just as I did and that is an incredibly satisfying feeling. The
town council has also been of great help to me, as it is with their insight and support that
my dream has come true.
Just r1dy, I saw an ad in the paper for the town council planning committee. I
wvas eager to apply.. I feel that being on the committee allows me to share my desire to
make Vail an even }meter pleas tv vacation and live. I believe strongly in Veil's growth
and I believe that I can contribute to its potential. I welcome the opportunity to serve on

Town Clerk
Town of Vail
Vail, Colorado
RE: Volunteer Positions
Dear Ms. Donaldson,
I enjoyed meeting with you briefly on Monday morning to discuss the positions available
on the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Board. Both boards serve
important purposes for the town, and I would be interested in serving on either of them.
My husband and I first moved to Vail in 1990 when we purchased our home on Potato
Patch. Although we lived here on a part-time basis from 1990 until 1997, we have considered
Vail our home from the outset and have been registered voters in Vail since 1990. I was able to
retire from the full-time practice of law in January, 1997 and have been a full time resident of Vail
since then.
We have all seen tremendous growth in the Town since 1990, and I have been extremely
interested in following the pattern of the development of our community. I believe that active
participation on the PEC and DRB are critical to insuring that we can continue the vision for Vail
of a community committed reasoned growth while sustaining the environment and maintaining the
quality of life that makes living in Vail such a wonderful experience.
By way of background, I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois having graduated from
Loyola University of Chicago with a bachelor of science degree in psychology in .1971. I spent
several years after college working as a research associate at the American Hospital Association,
while raising my son. I then attended Northwestern University School of Law, and graduated
with a J.D. in 1978.
I practiced law full-time in Chicago from 1978 until 1990, and in Denver and Chicago
from 1990 until 1997. I spent the first five years of my career with the law firm of Rooks, Pitts,
Ms. Lorelei Donaldson
March 13, 2002
Page 2
and Poust, one of the oldest law firms in Illinois.. I then moved to Freeborn and Peters, where I
was a general partner until my retirement in 1997. I served as Senior Counsel to the firm from the
Denver office until that office was closed in 1999.
My legal practice consisted of general litigation with an emphasis in contract and
employment matters. I have acted as trial and appeal counsel in both federal and state courts, as
well as before administrative agencies handling employment matters. In addition to my litigation
practice, I routinely advised clients with respect to compliance with discrimination Iaws, wage and
hour issues and workforce reduction matters. I have considerable experience with statutory
interpretation. I have also been involved in drafting rules and regulations for the Illinois Housing
Development Authority and I represented its Chairman in litigation before the Illinois Supreme
Court on the issue of the limits of its authority. As a partner in a 100+ lawyer firm, I served on
numerous committees involved in the management of the firm.
Personally, I have been involved in numerous home remodel and construction projects
which involved interaction with design review boards and other agencies. In Vail, we undertook
our first remodel project in 1990 with the addition of interior space to create a master suite.
Later, we added a study and new deck. Both of these projects required approvals from the Town
of Vail. Currently, we are working to combine the two sides of our duplex into a single family
dwelling and have received initial approval from the staff of the town for this work. Thus, I am
aware of Vail's building and zoning requirements such as set backs, square footage limitations,
rock fall areas and related matters.
I pride myself on attention to detail and thoroughness. Although I do not have an
architectural background or direct experience with town planning, I am a quick study and will
bring enthusiasm and a willingness to work to the town boards.
I look forward to discussing my qualifications with the Town Council. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
ar G ey Roge

Town Clerk
Vail, Colorado
March 11, 2002
Dear Mrs. Donaldson
Please accept this letter as an official application for the position opening on the Vail
Planning and Environmental Commission.
I have been a resident of the Vail Valley for over three years and a resident of Vail for the
past two and a half years. I moved to Vail because, it has so much more to offer in regard
to it's diversity of people, restaurants, entertainment, cultural and civic amenities, as well
as it's general character and ambience as a mountain town. As great as Vail is as a town
and resort it hasn't reached it's full potential and that is my biggest reason for applying
for the PEC position.
I have been in the architecture and planning profession for over ten years, which gives me
keen insight into the problems faced by a growing community. Vail currently suffers
from an identity crisis. Vail is currently torn between its identity as a resort and its
identity of being a community. I feel both are equally important as Vail redefines itself in
anever-changing market place. The town's economic engine is tourism and the resort is
the cog that makes this engine run. I would like to see Vail become aworld-class
community that has aworld-class resort. The resort component is working and growing
just fine. However, "Community" requires a "common-unity" among a divers
demographic. Vail is currently stratifying its demographic by pushing out a major income
class of people down valley resulting in a lack ofyear-round, family /resident vitality.
Vail is great for the young person right out of school who wants to take some time off
and enjoy a skier lifestyle for a couple of years. Vail is also great for the person who has
made their fortune and has decided to enjoy life after their working career has come to a
close. However, it is more difficult for someone in my position (the young up and coming
professional) to live, work and make ends meet. It takes a special kind of person and
commitment to do this. You really pay for the life style that you have selected. I can
sympathize with the people who are starting families and move down valley to make their
dollar go a bit further. I, on the other hand have chosen to make Vail my home and I
know that with some persuasion Vail can offer "Community" and reverse the current
flight down valley.
The Planning and Environmental Commission offers me the vehicle in which to bring
"Community" back to Vail. I also feel that my situation provides a voice for the "young
up and coming" group of residents that have made the same choice. I feel Vail is at a
P.O Box 2773, Avon CO 81620 * Phone #970-477-0725
crossroads and is about to experience a renaissance. This renaissance will culminate on a
new vision and identity for Vail. It will be a fine balance between what it needs as a
resort and what it needs as a community. We are already starting to see this
transformation in the adaptive reuse of many existing properties in and around Vail. My
position as an architect and planner in the Vail Valley keeps my finger on the pulse of
proposed new development. I speak the language of the developer and architect and can
provide the voice that helps maintain the intent found in the Vail master plan and zoning
guidelines.
I would like the opportunity to help provide direction for the future vision that is Vail and
create the sense of "Community" that will be Vail's renaissance.
I have attached my resume, which outlines my education and some of my work
experience in the architecture and planning environments.
I would like to thank you for your time and consideration in review of this application.
Please contact me at 949-0257 if you should require any additional information of have

Vail, CO 81657
This letter represents my desire to apply for a position on the Planning and
Environmental Commission.
Having moved to Vail in the early seventies, I have had the opportunity to serve on
several TOV boards, including the DRB and most recently the AIPP. I have found these
associations most rewarding.
I sense that Vail has now reached a very important stage of its existence. We have grown
from being just a town, to a resort town. The world-class designation ranking, which we
have achieved in the past, is now met with very keen competition from within and outside
of Colorado. I firmly believe we have to carefully balance the needs of our community
with those of our guests.
I strongly believe that an environment needs to exist where we can re-energize our Town
through a cooperative consortium between our private and public sectors. Rather than
stifle one another, we must find creative solutions to the re-development challenges we
now face. I feel we need to go forward in a proactive, progressive manner in which we
clearly define goals as a Town ,and even more importantly as a Resort.
If appointed to the PEC, I would pledge a personal commitment to sympathetically
review the issues which are presented before the board, and work conscientiously
towards positive solutions.
Repeatedly submitted,

Ms. Donaldson,
I seek reappointment to the Planning and Environmental Commission. My, December 2001,
appointed to the PEC ends this month.
I first moved to Vail in 1982, where I lived for a year before attending the University of Denver
College of Law. After graduating, I practiced law for the Seattle law firm of Preston, Gates &
Ellis. I represented several cities and municipalities, including the City of Seattle, in land use and
environmental matters. By 1991, the 27 attorney firm I had originally joined had grown to over
250 attorneys. The cultural changes at the firm caused me to leave. From 1991 to 2000, I spent
my winters living in Vail Village. First above the Red Lion, then next door to the Christiania. 1n
2001, I bought one of the Gore Creek Rowhouse's and became a full time Vail resident. I have
many long time friends in Vail and plan on spending the rest of my Life here.
Since leaving the practice of law, I have established several companies and partnerships. I am on
the boards of several companies, two of which I chair. One of these companies, the 925 Pike
Street Building Company, is a real estate development company I co-founded in 1992. Among
its activities was the development of a restaurant night club in a run down warehouse district in
Seattle. I joined the board of the local business association and convinced the State of
Washington not to place major welfare facilities in the district. This is the only instance in which
the State of Washington has reversed its decision on where to locate a welfare facility. Today,
the district is one of Seattle's premier mixed-use neighborhoods, having undergone a renovation
similar to Denver's LODO.
Vail is one of the finest ski areas in the world. With so many significant projects being submitted
to the Town over the next couple of years, Vail can build a world class mountain community.
Like so many other Vail residents, I am eager to use my skills to help achieve this goal.
Sincerely,
t ~ ,~/

Attachment E Contains additional information
based on a PEC condifion of approval
MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Environmental Commission
FROM: Department of Community Development
DATE: March 11, 2002
SUBJECT: Request to modify the rockfall hazard maps to show approved mitigation for the
Booth Falls Townhomes located at 3094 Booth Falls CourtJLot 1, Block 2, Vail
Village 12th Filing.
Applicant: Booth Falls Condominium Association represented by Steve
Prawdzik
Staff: Russell Forrest
I. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The Booth Falls Homeowners Association is requesting that the Town of Vail amend its
hazard maps to show that approved mitigation exists for the high severity rockfall hazard
area that exists on this property (see attachment A). The Association completed the
construction of a rockfall mitigation wall in November of 2001. This wall was designed to
mitigate the high severity rockfall hazard present on the site. An engineer and the
Colorado Geological Survey has cohcluded that the wall will effectively protect the
property from reasonably foreseeable rockfall hazards (see Attachment C).
II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the mitigation constructed by the Booth Fall Homeowners
Association. Qualified expert input from an independent engineer and the Colorado
Geological Survey confirms that the wall was constructed to design and will be effective
protecting the property identified in attachment A from reasonably foreseeable rockfall
hazards without increasing the rockfall hazard on other private or public property. The
Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings:
• There is clear and convincing evidence that the information contained in the site-
specificgeologic investigation is reliable.
• Based on expert input the mitigation will help protect inhabitants and their property
from reasonably foreseeable Rockfall events.
• Based on reliable expert input there is no increase in the hazard to other property or
structures, or to public buildings, roads, streets, rights of way, easements, utilities or
facilities.
f: \eve ryo ne\russlm em os\rockm mem2
III. ROLES OF BOARDS
Town Council: To approve or deny mitigation status for the area shown in attachment A,
The Town Council would need to approve a resolution to amend the rockfall hazard map.
Planning and Environmental Commission: The role of the PEC is to make a
recommendation to the Town Council on whether to approve a mitigation for the Booth
Falls Townhomes based on the criteria mentioned below.
IV. BACKGROUND
The Booth Falls Townhomes are located in the Vail Village 12th Filing, which was platted
in the Town of Vail in 1972. The Town of Vail issued building permits for Units 1-3 on
March 27, 1973. Today, there are a total of 18 units in the complex. In 1984,
Schmueser and Associates Inc. prepared the Official Rockfall Hazard maps that were
adopted by the Town of Vail. These maps indicate that the Booth Falls Townhomes are
in a high severity rockfall hazard area along with development to the southeast of the
Townhomes.
In 1989 and 1990 after several rockfall incidents, a rockfall berm was created and
financed through a local improvement district in the boothfalls neighborhood. This berm
was not extended to the west to protect the Booth Falls Townhomes because of the
proximity of the Forest Service Wilderness Area Boundary.
On March 26, 1997, a 20' x 8' piece of the rock face broke off the rock band above the
Booth Falls Townhomes. Units 14, 15, 16 were impacted by several large rocks. The
largest rock went through the wall of Unit 14 and pushed a bed through the 1st floor and
into the basement area. On March 27, 1997, staff met a USFS team and Jonathon
White of the Colorado State Geological Survey to determine the risk of additional rockfall
incidents. Through further site investigation and an analysis done by the Colorado
Geological Survey, it was determined that the area was in a high rockfall hazard area
which means rockfall incidents is likely. It should also be noted that rockfall incidents can
occur at any time in the year. Rockfall incidents, unlike debris flow or snow avalanches,
are not limited to one season.
On May 6th, 1997 a Council worksession was held to review a report prepared by the
Colorado Geological Survey and to determine what should be done to mitigate the
hazard. Council directed staff to assist the Homeowners Association in determining a
cost for mitigation. On July 7th, 1997, another worksession was held with Council to
determine how this mitigation should be funded and the process for completing the
design and construction of the wall. It was decided that the homeowners would finance
the construction of the wall themselves. The Town committed up to $20,000.. to assist
with the design of the wall. Staff also prepared an Environmental Impact Report that
evaluated the impacts of the proposed mitigation.
An engineering company, AKS Engineering, was retained by the Homeowners
Association to design the wall. In 1998, Yenter Company and the Colorado Geological
Survey reviewed and approved the design. After receiving Town Council, PEC ,and DRB
approval the three walls were constructed in 2001 by Yenter Company. The following is
f:\everyone\russ\memos\rockmmem2 2
;+
TowNOF u~rL''
a sequence of events that resulted in the construction of the rockfall mitigation wall.
1) November 10th 1997: PEC reviewed and approved the Environmental Impact
Report for the rockfall mitigation wall.
2) December 9th 1997: Council reviewed and approved of proposed mitigation.
Since this project used Town of Vail land (which. the TOV acquired from the
USFS in 1997), the Town Council had to approve the use on Town of Vail land for
this mitigation.
3) December 17~", 1997: The DRB reviewed and approved the conceptual plans for
the walls.
4) 1998-2001:The Town approved a design in 1997 that involved two walls. Then in
1998 the Town approved a new design involving three walls that further improved
the effectiveness of the mitigation. This design came from Yenter Company
(Geotechnical construction and engineering firm). The DRB approval for the
1998 design Lapsed and was re-approved by the DRB on August 15, 2001.
5) August 21St 2002: Town Council approved of an easement on Town property to
allow for construction of the wall
The wall has now been constructed and the Homeowners are now requesting a hearing
with the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council to present
documentation from a qualified engineer and the State Geological Survey that the wall
was constructed in accordance. with the approved plans and to request a modification to
the Town hazard maps. If this request is made and approved by the Town Council, the
Homeowners Association property would still be identified in a rockfall hazard area, but
the maps would indicate that approved mitigation exists for the site and would refer to the
site specific report. It should be noted that 100% mitigation of a natural hazard is in most
cases, not possible. Please see Disclaimer of Liability in section 12-21-9 (Attachment
D).
V. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS FOR HAZARD MAP CHANGE
Specific criteria for amending the Master Hazard Plans are not provided in the code.
However, the purpose statement of 12-21 and provisions for providing mitigation for
development specified in section 12-21-15-C.1 do provide criteria for a decision to
amend the hazard master plan. The following are the recommended criteria for making
an amendment to the hazard plans:
• That the mitigation supports the purpose statement of section 12-21 which states in
part "The purpose of this Chapter is to help protect the inhabitants of the Town from
dangers relating to development of flood plains, avalanche paths, steep slopes and
geologically sensitive areas...."
Staff Response: Based on the review of the mitigation by qualified professionals the
mitigation will help protect the inhabitants of the Town from dangers relating to
f:\everyone\russ\memos\rockmmem2 3
geologically sensitive areas.
• That the corrective engineering or engineered construction or other mitigation or
alternations can be accomplished to reduce the danger to the public health and
safety to property to a reasonable level.
Staff Response: Based on the engineering design of the wall and the review of the
wall construction by qualified engineers, staff believes that the rockfall hazard is
reasonably mitigated. The Colorado Geological Survey concluded the wall will
provide a level of protection that is "in some respects, superior to the ditch and berm
configuration to the east."
• Such mitigation does not increase the hazard to other property or structures or to
public buildings, roads, streets, rights of way, easements, utilities or facilities.
Staff Response: Based on reliable engineering input the mitigation will not impact
other property or structures, or public buildings, roads, streets, rights of way,
easements, utilities or facilities.
• The applicant must establish by clear and convincing evidence that the information
contained in the site specific geological investigation is reliable.
Staff Response: The Colorado Geological Survey is the agency responsible for
identifying and helping to develop mitigation for geological hazards in the State of
Colorado. John White who provided direction on the design and who provided a
letter verifying the effectiveness of the mitigation is a Senior Project Engineer
Geologist with the Colorado Geologic Survey. He has over 20 years of experience
working in geological sensitive areas. Yenter Company was involved in hazard
mitigation in numerous project around the State including Glenwood Canyon. Staff
believes that the individuals involved in the design and construction of the mitigation
are experts in their field and have provided reliable information..

RE: Review of Yenter Companies Rockfall Mitigation Impact Barrier for Booth Falls
Condominiunrts.
Dear Mr. Forrest:
At your request in our phone discussion last month, the Colorado Geological Survey has
reviewed the inertial barrier wall for the Booth Falls Condominium complex constructed by
Yenter Companies. The CGS conducted a site investigation of the project on October 22, 2001.
Two geotea-tile-reinforced soil walls were completed at that time of our inspection so we did not
have au opportunity to observe the actual wall construction. While internal aspects of the wall
construction are unknown to us, it appears that the wail geometry conforms to the design as
submitted by Yenter Cotxtpanies. A design element that was missing at the time of our
inspection was the fence that Yenter proposed for the top of the wall. Mr. Barrett assured me
that the fence was still planned and would be installed as soon as the fence contractor was
available.
This system will provide a level of protection that is, in some aspects, superior to the
ditch and berm configuration for the properties to the east. Once the fence is installed at the top
of the wall, the wall construction will basically conform to the Yenter plan details and will leave
the wall geometry that conform to the recommendations this office felt was necessary for
effective rockfall mitigation of this site.
The only concern we have at this point is the revegetation of the cut slope behind the
barrier. If left in its current condition, runoff may cause erosion and minor slumping of soil into
the rock catchment area. The cut slope should be seeded and some type of erosion control
matting (ECM) or turf reinforcement matting (TRM) should be staked to the slope.

RE: Booth Falls Rockfall Mitigation Project Completion
Dear Mr. Forrest;
Yenter Companies has substantially completed the Booth Falis Rockfall
Mitigation Project.
Landform grading and barrier heights selected for this project meet
rockfall mitigation design criteria developed by the Colorado
Department of Transportation as presented in its computer program,
Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program (CRSP). Barrier design follows
full state barrier tests by CDOT and the Colorado Geological Survey..
This grading and barrier configuration will contain rocks conforming to
the maximum probable rock size as determined by the CGS and
probable velocities and trajectories as determined by CRSP
A 6 foot high fence has been placed on the tops of the barriers to
contain small rock fragments as an additional safety precaution. There
are no established design criteria for this fence, nor are there
guidelines on required strength and height.
Attached are As-Constructed cross sections for each of the three
barriers and a map showing their locations relative to property
boundaries. This project was constructed in substantial compliance
with the plans and specifications.
Sincerely,
GGGZ~~,
Albert C. Ruckman, P. E.

ditch and berm coztfiguration for the properties tv the east. Qnce the fence is installed at the top
of the wall, the wall construcrion will basically conform to the Venter plan details and will have
the wall geometry that conform to the recommendations this office felt was necessary for
ef~'ective rockfall mitigation of this site.
The only concern we have at this point is the revegetation of the cut slope behind the
barrier. If left in its current condition, runoff may cause erosion azzd minor slumping of soil into
the rock catchment area. T11ie cut slope should be seeded and some type of erosion control
matting (ECM) or turf reinforcement matting (TRM) should be staked to the slope.

Hazard Regulations
12-21-1: PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Chapter is to help protect the inhabitants of the Town from dangers relating to
development of flood plains, avalanche paths, steep slopes and geologically sensitive areas; to regulate the
use of land areas which may be subject to flooding and avalanche or which may be geologically sensitive;
and further to regulate development on steep slopes; to protect the economic and property values of the
Town, to protect the aesthetic and recreational values and natural resources of the Town, which are
sometimes associated with flood plains, avalanche areas and areas of geological sensitivity and slopes; to
minimize damage to public facilities and utilities and minimize the need for relief in cleanup operations; to
give notice to the public of certain areas within the Town where flood plains, avalanche areas and areas of
geologic sensitivity exist; and to promote the general public health, safety and welfare. (Ord. 5(1985) § 1:
Ord. 12(1978) § 4)
12-21-2: DEFINITIONS:
For the purposes of this Chapter, the words contained in this Section are defined as follows:
BLUE HAZARD AVALANCHE AREA: An area impacted by a snow producing a total static and dynamic
pressure less than six hundred (600) pounds per square foot on a flat surface normal to the flow and/or a
return interval in excess of twenty five (25) years.
FLOOD HAZARD ZONE: That area covered by the base flood. The base flood area is any numbered A, A0,
AH, or area of 100-year shallow flooding indicated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map, associated work maps,
and Flood Insurance Study. The flood hazard zone is also any area indicated as "flood plain" as defined by
the Gore Creek Flood Plain Information Report, 1975, as designated in Section 12-21-11 of this Chapter.
FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY: The official report provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
that includes flood profiles and water surface elevation of the base flood.
GEOLOGICALLY SENSITIVE AREA: An area within the Town of Vail which may be subject to rock falls, mud
flows, debris flows, debris avalanches, and unstable soil, slopes or rocks.
RED HAZARD AVALANCHE AREA: Any area impacted by a snow avalanche producing a total static and
dynamic pressure in excess of six hundred (600) pounds per square foot on a flat surface normal to the flow
and/or a return interval of less than twenty five (25) years.
SLOPE: "Slope" is as defined in Section 12-2-2 of this Title.
SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT: Any repair, reconstruction, or improvement of a structure, the cost of which
equals or exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the market value of the structure. Market value shall be determined
by a qualified assessor designated by the Administrator. The market value of a structure is determined either:
A. Before the improvement or repair is started; or
B. If the structure has been damaged and is being restored, before the damage occurred. For the
purposes of this definition "substantial improvement" is considered to occur when the first alteration of
any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of the building commences, whether or not that alteration
affects the external dimensions of the structure. The term does not, however, include any project for
improvement of a structure to comply with existing State or local health, sanitary, or safety code
specifications which are solely necessary to assure safe living conditions.
ZONE OF INFLUENCE: Any area in a potential avalanche hazard zone where detailed information is not
currently available but which may be impacted by said hazard. These zones of influence shall be designated
on the appropriate maps of the Administrator of the Town. (Ord. 5(1985) § 2: Ord. 16(1983) § 1: Ord.
f:\everyone\russ\memos\rockmmem2 9
12(1978) § 4)
12-21-3: MASTER HAZARD PLANS:
The Town Manager shall formulate and develop master hazard plans for the Town. Said hazard plans shall be
based on engineering studies and shall indicate the location of known flood plains, avalanche and geological
hazard zones of influence, known red and blue avalanche and geological hazard areas, and forty percent
(40%) slope areas. In addition, the plans may show any other information or data deemed to be desirable by
the Town Manager. Maximum citizen participation during the formulation of the master hazard plans as well
as other phases of the information implementation of the hazard studies and regulations, shall be
encouraged. The purpose of the master hazard plans is to identify and alleviate present and future problems
created by the construction of improvements in the hazard areas within the Town by means of presenting in
an orderly fashion the general data and information which are essential to the understanding of the
relationship between the hazards and improvements located within said areas. The master hazard plans may
be altered from time to time to conform with new information or existing conditions. (Ord. 12(1978) § 4)
12-21-4: APPROVAL OF MASTER PLANS:
The master hazard plans shall not be considered to be official hazard master plans of the Town until and
unless the Town Council adopts the same, by motion. No substantial modification of the master hazard plan
shall be made unless it is first approved by the Town Council in a similar manner. As soon as the master
hazard plans are adopted, or portions thereof are adopted, a copy of it shall be placed on file in the office of
the Town Clerk, where it may be inspected by any interested party during normal business hours. (Ord.
12(1978} § 4)
12-21-5: TOWN MANAGER ACCUMULATE INFORMATION:
The Town Manager, with the advice and approval of the Planning and Environmental Commission, shall
continue to study and accumulate information as to hazard areas. When additional information is available, it
shall be reviewed by the Planning and Environmental Commission and added to the master hazard plans.
(Ord. 12(1978) § 4)
12-21-6: SUPPLEMENTAL STUDIES BY APPLICANT:
If an application is made to build in an identified avalanche hazard zone of influence or modification to the
flood plain, the Administrator may require the applicant to conduct supplemental studies as specified in this
Chapter. The information submitted by the applicant following completion of said studies shall be viewed by
the Town staff and the Planning and Environmental Commission and may be added to the master hazard
plans. (Ord. 12(1978) § 4)
12-21-8: INTERPRETATION:
The provisions of this Chapter shall be deemed to be minimum requirements. Nothing herein shall impair the
obligations of or interfere with private agreements in excess of the minimum requirements. Where this
Chapter imposes a restriction different from that imposed by other applicable provisions of law, contract, or
deed, the more restrictive provision shall control. (Ord. 5(1985) § 3)
12-21-9: DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY:
This Chapter is based on scientific and engineering considerations which are continually being developed.
Compliance with the provisions herein cannot insure freedom from risk to life, safety or property. This Section
shall not create liability on the part of the Town or any officer or employee thereof for any damage that may
result from reliance on this Chapter, or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder. The designation
of certain areas as hazard areas or geologically sensitive areas pursuant to maps incorporated into this
Section does not imply in any way that areas not so designated are free from all risk to life, safety or property.

b. If the finding of the engineer or geologist performing the geologic investigation is that the site is a
geologically sensitive area, but that corrective engineering or engineered construction or other
mitigation or alterations can be accomplished to reduce the danger to the public health and safety or to
property to a reasonable level, and such mitigation does not increase the hazard to other property or
structures, or to public buildings, roads, streets, rights of way, easements, utilities or facilities, approval
of the development plan and/or the issuance of the building or grading permit shall be conditional and
contingent upon approval of plans for corrective engineering and engineered construction or other
litigation or alterations as set forth in this Title.
c. If the conclusion of the geologist or engineer performing the site-specific geologic investigation is
that the site cannot be developed for the structure or use proposed because the danger posed by the
geologically sensitive area cannot be reduced or mitigated to a reasonable level, the subdivision plan
or building permit or grading permit shall be denied.
2. For single-family, duplex, and primary/secondary dwellings, and "accessory uses" thereto as defined in
.Section 12-6C-4 of this Title:
a. If the conclusion of the engineer or the geologist performing the investigation is that the site can be
developed for the specific structure or use proposed without corrective engineering or engineered
construction or other mitigation or alterations, or that the site is a geologically sensitive area, but will
not increase the hazard to other property or structures or to public buildings, roads, streets, rights of
way, easements,- utilities or facilities, a grading permit or building permit may be issued.
b. If the finding of the engineer or geologist performing the site specific geologic investigation is that
the site is a geologically sensitive area, but that corrective engineering or engineered construction or

5) August 21 sc. 2002:. Town Council approved of an easement on Town property to
allow for construction of the wall
The wall has now been constructed and the Homeowners are now requesting a hearing
with the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Town Council to present.
documentation from a qualified engineer and the State Geological Survey that the wall
was constructed in accordance with the approved plans and to request a modification to
the Town hazard maps.. If this request is made and approved by the Town Council, the
Homeowners Association property would still be identified in a rockfall hazard area, but
the maps would indicate that approved mitigation exists for the site and would refer to the
site specific report. It should be noted that 100% mitigation of a natural hazard is in most
cases, not possible. Please see Disclaimer of Liability in section 12-21-9 (Attachment
D),
IV. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS FOR HAZARD PLAN CHANGE
Specific criteria for amending the Master Hazard Plans are not provided in the code.
However, the purpose statement of 12-21 and provisions for providing mitigation for
development specified in section 12-21-15-C.1 do provide criteria for a decision to
amend the hazard master plan. The following are the recommended criteria for making
an amendment to the hazard plans:
• That the corrective engineering or engineered construction or other mitigation or
alternations can be accomplished to reduce the danger to the public health and
safety to property to a reasonable level.
Staff Response: Based on the engineering design of the wall and the review of the
wall construction by qualified engineers, staff believes that the rockfall hazard is
reasonably mitigated.
• Such mitigation does not increase the hazard to other property or structures or to
public buildings, roads, streets, rights of way,. easements, utilities or facilities.
Staff Response: Based on reliable engineering input the mitigation will not impact
other property or structures, or public buildings, roads, streets, rights of way,
easements, utilities or facilities.
The applicant must establish by clear and convincing evidence that the information
contained in the site specific geological investigation is reliab e_ -
Staff Response: The Colorado Geological Survey is the agency responsible for
identifying and helping to develop mitigation for geological hazards in the State of
Colorado. John White who provided direction on the design and who provided a
letter verifying the effectiveness of the mitigation is a Senior Project Engineer
Geologist with the Colorado Geologic Survey. He has over 20 years of experience
working in geological sensitive areas. Yenter Company was involved in hazard
mitigation in numerous projearound the State including Glenwood Canyon. Staff
believes that the individuals i olved in the design and construction of the mitigation

and Director
The CGS was requested by you to provide some additional comments on the completed
roekfall mitigation at the Sooth Creek Condominiums in the Town of Vail. At your earlier
request, I inspected the roekfall mitigation structures on October 22, 2001after eonstniction was
completed last fall and sent comments to you in a letter dated November 9, 2001.
A question arose concerning any potential impacts to adjacent owners from the
construction of the inertial barrier walls designed for roekfall impact. ; Duting my site inspection
last fall I did mot note any way in which these structures would adversely impact adjacent
owners, except for a remote possibility to the access road to the Town water tank. There should
be sufficient room to stockpile the snow against the foot of the western wall if the water tank
road needs plowing for access during the winter.
Also the issue of maintenance and inspection of the structures was raised. The
mechanically stabilized earth izztpact walls are basically maintenance-free. One concern I raised
last fall was potential for sloughing or slumping of soil into the catchment zone from the bare cut
slopes. If not cleaned out, the soil accumulation could effectively reduce the wall height. The
cut slopes behind the walls (re-vegetated and stabilized as recommended) should be inspected
every spring or after a1:t unusually heavy precipitation event. The bazrier walls should also be
inspected after any roclcfall impacts. Crushed portions of the wall facing after impact should be
quickly repaired. Yenter Companies can provide guidance on recommended repair techniques
for the wall facing-
I
The only other type of failure of the system tha# could arise is a bearing failure of the`
native soils that the impact bamer wall is founded on. If tilting or sagging of portions of the';
flAR-12-2002 03:lOPf~ FR01~-Colorado Gaolo~ieal Survey 3036662461 7-014 P.003/003 F-609 ~ '
walls is observed, the homeowner's association should inform Yenter Companies and require
their staff to inspect the structure. Slight undulations along the length of the walls by differential
settlement will not effect the performance of the structures. While an unlikely scenario, adverse
tilting of the structures could be more problematic.
Inspection of the walls attd catchment zone behind should be part of a normal
maintenance item of the condominium grounds by the homeowners association. I do not believe
this action needs to be conducted by city staff unless distress of the wall parallel to the water tack
access road is observed, which could possibly affect the roadway. Again, I believe it is very

RE: Booth Falls Rockfall Mitigation Project Completion
Supp/ement to Netter dated October 25, 2001
Dear Mr. Forrest;
Yenter Companies has substantially completed the Booth Falls Rockfail
Mitigation Project.
Landform grading and barrier heights selected for this project meet rockfall
mitigation design criteria developed by the Colorado Department of
Transportation as presented in its computer program, Colorado Rockfall
Simulation Program (CRSP). Barrier design follows full scale barrier tests by
CDOT and the Colorado Geological Survey.
This grading and barrier configuration will contain rocks conforming to the
maximum probable rock size as determined by the CGS and probable
velocities and trajectories as determined by CRSP.
The construction of these wa//s for the purpose of rockfa//
mitigation has not increased the rockfa// hazard to adjacent
properties,
A 6 foot high fence has been placed on the tops of the barriers to contain
small rock fragments as an .additional safety precaution. There are no
established design criteria, for this fence, nor are there guidelines on required
strength and height.
Attached are As-Constructed cross sections for each of the three barriers and
a map showing their locations relative to property boundaries. This project
was constructed in substantial compliance with the plans and specifications.
Sincerely,
Albert C. Ruckman, P. E.
