Lee Sackna, legal representation for Viele Development, reiterated that the proposal was in
compliance with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. He further explained and
responded to the issued raised by the Montaneros owners.
Commissioner Cleveland indicated -that the application was in compliance with the Lionshead
Mixed Use - 1 zone district. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of on-site employee
housing and suggested that this application be required to meet its employee housing obligation
on-site.
Commissioner Jewitt expressed his support for the application as submitted given the proposed
conditions of approval. He indicated the need for public art as part of the proposal to mitigate
the impacts of development and to improve the pedestrian experience. He further emphasized
the need for the exterior colors to remain interesting and vibrant. He recommended that the
employee housing requirement must comply with the Town's housing policies. Mr. Jewitt
expressed his support for a Lionshead text amendment to amend the build to line to allow for a
completely covered parking structure.
Commissioner Kjesbo agreed with the findings expressed in the staff memorandum. He asked
that condition #5 be amended to strike the ability for Public Works to waive the traffic impact fee
and proposed that an additional fee be assessed for South Frontage Road improvements.
Commissioner Pierce had no additional comments.
Commissioner Bernhardt expressed his support for the application and reiterated the many of
the comments of the other Commission members.
Chairman Cahill shared his support for the application given its compliance with the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan. He shared his belief that additional contributions were needed for
the AIPP program. He suggested and forwarded his support for a master plan amendment to
the Vail Town Council for changes to the build to lines to create a better transition between
property lines.
David Viele responded to the input provided by the Commission. Mr. Viele was generally
supportive of the Commission's input.

CONDITIONS:
Bill Pierce noted his conflict of interest if discussions relate directly to Lionshead Inn and are not
a general discussion.
George Ruther presented an overview of the request and the staff memorandum.
Russ Forest presented an overview of the Staff's discussions with the Town Council at its June
2ND public hearing.
George Ruther discussed the economic impacts of hotels, fractional fees, etc. He distributed a
2003 memorandum addressing the issue. He reinforced the need for a diversity of lodging
types.
Bill Pierce recused himself when the discussion focused on identifying and regulating specific
properties with existing accommodation units.
Doug Cahill asked for clarification of the impacts of these amendments on voluntary dwelling
unit/fractional fee rental programs. George Ruther clarified how these programs are addressed.
Dominic Mauriello, representing Lionshead Inn, noted their general agreement with the staff
memorandum with some minor clarifications. He noted their support of addressing "live beds"
instead of "accommodation units." He noted concern that these discussions need to apply to all
projects in Lionshead. He also gave a brief summary of the type of redevelopment they will be
proposing. '
Dick Cleveland suggested not including a specific list of development projects with
accommodation units. Instead some "no net loss of accommodation units" language should be
added. The existing accommodation units should not be replaced with any other type of "live
bed", because "live beds" are not guaranteed to be rental units. He also recommended
maintaining the existing "live beds" and creating incentives for additional "live beds".
Bill Jewitt suggested eliminating all reference to "accommodation units" and only addressing
"live beds". He agreed that specific projects should not be referenced. He discussed the likely
use of fractional fee units and dwelling units during the off-season, when a pure accommodation
unit will be vacant. He recommended keeping flexibility in the Town Code. He recommended
"live beds" instead of "accommodation units." The concern isn't just having any guest in a bed,
but the type of guest in that bed.
Rollie Kjesbo recommends using the term "live beds" and more flexibility. He agreed with Dick
Cleveland's concern about guaranteeing rental of dwelling units.
George Ruther noted that if the intent of the LMU districts is for mixed use development or
accommodation rooms, then the Town needs to require mixed uses and require
accommodation uses. He recommended adding intent statements to the proposed text.

Dominic Mauriello noted his client's desire to have a specific policy for their property to provide
assurance as to their development requirements. He also wants this issue to move to a vote so
the development moratorium can be lifted.
Doug Cahill noted that the Town does not want to lose the short-term availability of some form
of units.

Nontechnical Summary
We statistically compared aquatic insect numbers in Gore Creek to other healthy streams
in the area and found that the aquatic community in Gore Creek flowing through Vail is
in a less healthy condition than the reference sites. Average numbers of "good", or
sensitive, insects that suggest a healthy stream are worse in 2005 than in 2004 in Gore
Creek (Figure 2). Results also show an increase in the "bad", or pollution tolerant,
insects, which include worms and midges, at Gore Creek sites below Black Gore Creek
(Figure 1). The amount of fine sediment in Gore Creek is also higher than in healthy
streams located within the Eagle's Nest Wilderness Area.
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to document results from continued monitoring of aquatic
habitat and biota in Gore Creek through the Town of Vail. This monitoring effort was
initiated due to concerns among local stakeholder groups regarding the potential impacts
to Gore Creek related to the construction and winter maintenance activities along
Interstate 70 at Vail Pass. Urbanization in Vail and sedimentation due to forest road
construction in several tributary watersheds is also of concern to stakeholders and the
White River National Forest. Black Gore Creek is the main receiving water for sediment
related to I-70; however it is a tributary to Gore Creek, which contains a Gold Medal .
Trout fishery.
This report discusses monitoring efforts completed on Gore Creek in 2004-2005. A
separate report was prepared addressing the existing condition of Black Gore Creek for
the TMDL. Amore thorough discussion of protocols, White River National Forest
regulations, reference sites, and background is given in a previous report on this effort in
2005 (Healy 2005).

Monitoring Methods
Site Selection -
All sites sampled in 2004 were repeated during 2005, and_ additional monitoring sites
were added on Gore Creek. Gore Creek site 7 was added because of its close proximity
to the confluence with Black Gore. Alower-gradient site was also added upstream of
Gore 3 (Gore 3b) to be used as an additional reference site. The Piney River watershed is
an ideal reference watershed for. Gore Creek. ,The underlying geology, elevation, aspect,
and gradient are similar between these two watersheds (Healy 2005). Table 1 lists all
reference and response sites sampled on the Piney River and Gore Creek.

Macroinvertebrate Metrics -
For monitoring impacts to stream habitats related to sediment, a suite of
macroinvertebrate metrics was selected. Metrics were evaluated for their usefulness for
monitoring by analyzing relationships between metric scores and substrate data collected
2of10
.USFS -Brian Healy
from the same sites distributed across the White River National Forest. Those metrics
that were most highly correlated with % fine sediment data were used to compare lower
Gore Creek with reference sites. This process is discussed in more detail in the draft
Black Gore Creek TMDL (Black Gore Creek TMDL Committee 2006).
Substrate Monitoring -
'Macroinvertebrate communities are known to respond to stream bottom conditions, as
well as other factors (e.g., temperature, water velocity, chemistry). Sediment can fill
interstitial spaces between stream bottom cobbles, reducing habitat availability for, some
interstitial-dwelling species. To evaluate the condition of physical habitat for
macroinvertebrates, stream substrate monitoring was conducted on most Gore Creek and
Piney River sites. Pebble counts were performed by the same crew at all sites during the
summer of 2005 to maintain consistency. However; after analyzing the data, and
comparing findings to observations made in the field, it appeared that the pebble counts
were biased towards larger particles (i.e., fines were underrepresented at all sites). This is
a common issue with this substrate monitoring protocol. Nevertheless, the data can be
used, with caution, if we assume that the bias was introduced at all sites (reference and
response}. During field season 2006, additional training will be provided for all crew
members by Forest Service hydrologists so that bias can be minimized for 2006
sampling.
Results and Discussion
Macroinvertebrate Monitoring -
Macroinvertebrate data were analyzed in several ways. Similar to Wynn et al. (2001), the
composition of macroinvertebrate communities was assessed by major insect order for
both 2004 and 2005 (Figure 1). In general, non-insects (worms) and midges (Diptera),
both tolerant groups to habitat impacts, comprised more of the community than sensitive
groups at Gore Creek sites (Gore sites 4 - 7) below Black Gore Creek.
The %EPT index was av'e'raged across reference sites (Piney and~Gore)~by stream~and
compared with an average score for all lower Gore Creek sites.for 2004 and 2005 to
evaluate trends (Figure 2). The %-EPT index is made up~of,the.proportionalabundance
of the total number of mayflies; stoneflies, and caddisflies, ,which are mostly sensitive to
excessive sediment. Generally, this index score would be expected to be lower at sites
where sediment or other stressors are excessive. From 2004 to 2005, it appeared that the
EPT index scores in the response sites declined, while Piney River and upper Gore
Creek reference sites remained the same, or increased slightly. This trend will continue
to be evaluated in the future.

Figure 2. Trends in the average %EPT index for the Piney River and Gore
Creek reference streams, as well as Gore Creek through. Vail for 2004-2005.
The %EPT index is a good measwe of stream health; however it should not normally
stand alone. US EPA (1996) and Barbour el al. (1999) suggest using several metrics that
represent different aspects of a fully functioning aquatic community (e.g., diversity,
species richness, trophic function, etc.). An evaluation of 7 other metrics was also
performed to further elucidate the condition of the aquatic community in reference and
lower Gore Creek sites. Average metric scores were calculated for all reference sites and
for lower Gore Creek sites.
A statistical analysis of these 2 groups was performed using atwo-tailed T-test of the
means. This test determines whether the groups differ significantly, and provides a
measwe of the probability (p) that the result of the test is false. For all metrics, there
were significant differences between the reference and lower Gore Creek sites (Figwe 3).
The p-value was less than 0.0001 for all metrics (i.e., low probability the test result was
false).
All metrics show that the aquatic community in Gore Creek flowing through Vail is
in an impaired condition. Particularly interesting, is the lack of stonefly taxa in
lower Gore Creek in both 2004 and 2005. Stoneflies are particularly sensitive to
temperature, dissolved oxygen, and excessive sedimentation. Amore detailed
analysis of the differences between reference and response site biota seems
unnecessary given the obvious disparities between the two groups of sites shown by
macroinvertebrate metrics.

within the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area.
Substrate Composition Monitoring -
The results of pebble count data analysis are consistent with the results of analysis of
macroinvertebrate community data. There appears to be higher levels of particles < 6mm
(% fines) in the Gore Creek sites downstream of the confluence with Black Gore (Table
6of10
USFS -Brian Healy
2). The average %:fine sediment data for the reference sites was 6.2%, while.lower Gore
Creek sites.had an average o£ 13.5%.fines: To account for variability among reference
sites, the>White •River National Forest substrate analysis protocol was employed. ~: , ,,
Basically, the reference condition was calculated as 74% of the 85~' percentile of the. data.
This results in a conservative robust stream health threshold, which is at the low, or more
impaired, end of the reference data range. All response sites except Gore? (near Bighorn
Pazk) rated below robust (74% of reference) for % fine sediment.

Conclusions .. , - ,
The reach of Gore Creek flowing through:Vail has been. subjected to numerous,:.: ,
anthropogenic disturbances-overthe past 30+ years:. These disturbances are reflected in
both aquatic biota and substrate composition data collected from Gore Creek. While it is
difficult .to point to a single source of sediment or. other stressor as the cause for Gore
Creek'-s existing condition, a description of potential sediment sources in the watershed
was~reported in Laurie 2003, and summarized in Healy (2005): To affect the amount of
sediment being introduced to lower Gore Creek;.a~watershed-scale~approach must be
taken. Sediment source reduction activities aze being implemented or planned for several
chronic source azeas including along I-70 at Vail Pass, Vail Ski Area roads, and Red
Sandstone Creek road. Preliminary results (2004 - 2005) currently indicate a decreasing
trend in the average number of sensitive macroinvertebrates in Gore Creek flowing

through Vail, with an increasing trend in more pollution tolerant non-insects. Therefore,
it is essential to continue monitoring efforts, includmg proactively implementing an
adaptive watershed`management program, to improve and protect the future stream health
conditions of Gore Creek.
Recommendations
• Provide additional training for crews conducting substrate sampling to reduce bias
and error. . ~ _
. -
• Re-sample all streams for both macroinvertebrates and substrate.
• Install water temperature loggers in the Piney River, upper Gore Creek, and in
Gore Creek in Vail.
• Continue to plan and implement sediment source reduction projects with partners.

NEW TRASH REMOVAL
REGULATIONS IN VAIL
Anew wildlife protection ordinance, effective
August 2002, requires everyone to
responsibly store and secure their garbage
to reduce feeding opportunities for bears
and other animals. Key provisions of the
Town of Vail ordinance are as follows:
^ The new "dawn to dusk" provision
makes it a violation to place trash out
on days other than the scheduled
collection day. Garbage containers
are allowed to be placed for pick-up
between the hours of 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
on the day of service only.
^ Intentionally or unintentionally
providing food for wildlife is not
allowed; includes use/storage of pet
food, bird feeders and garbage.
^ Construction sites must have a
designated container for items edible
by wildlife. The container must be
emptied or removed each work day.
^ Violators could face fines of from
$100 to $999 and could be required to
install bearproof or wildlife resistant
containers to prevent future problems.
Most conflicts between bears and people are linked to careless handling of food or garbage. Bears
will eat almost anything including human food, garbage, hummingbird food, and pet food. Once
a bear has found the easily accessible food source, it may visit regularly. The Vail Police
Department offers these tips to help keep bears and other wildlife away:
^ Remove anything that could lure bears,
and keep those attractants safely out of a
bear's reach from March until late
November, when they return to hibernation.
^ Place all trash in bearproof locations or
containers. Place containers outside
only on the day of pickup and not the
night before. Clean your garbage
container with ammonia or bleach on a
regular basis to remove food smells.
^ Don't leave pet food outside or use
automatic pet feeders.
^ Take down, clean and put away all bird
feeders from April through late November.
^ Burn off all food residues and grease
from grills, .and store grills after each
use. Grills also should be regularly
cleaned with bleach.
^ Pleasant odors from your home
can attract bears. Keep all low-level
windows and doors closed securely
and lock all lever-handled doors and
sliding doors. Bears have been known to
walk into homes.
^ If you have a weekend residence, make
sure you take anything scented home
with you.
IF YOU ENCOUNTER A BEAR:
• Don't approach the bear
• Keep calm
• Keep your eyes on the bear, but
avoid direct eye contact
• Walk away facing the bear
• Leave the bear an escape route
• Do not run or make sudden
movements
• If you're attacked, fight back with
rocks, sticks or even your bare hands
• Teach children what to do if they
encounter a bear
^ Place only grass clippings and similar
items in compost piles, not meat, fruit
vegetables or other food items.
For additional information on bear safety
tips, go the Colorado Division of Wildlife
Web site at www.wildlife.state.co.us.

Re: May Sales Tax
On the reverse side please find the latest sales tax worksheet. I estimate I'll collect
another $30,000.00 in May sales tax to bring May collections to $444,031.00. If so, we
will be up 7.12% or $29,532.00 from budget and down 3.21% or $14,739.00 from May
2005.

REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS
June 30, 2006
Sales Tax
The strong ski season continues to boost year-to-date sales tax collections with revenue
through May expected to be $9.6 million, up $749,942 or 8.5% from last year.
The month of May, however, is expected to fall somewhat short of last year with revenue
of $444,031 down $14,739 or 3.21 % from May 2005. Most of the shortfall appears to be
in the LionsHead area.
Construction Permit Fee Revenue
Construction permit volume is significantly higher than last year with construction permit
fee revenue of $774,922 through June 28, 2006 compared with $556,934 for the same
period last year. This year's revenue includes $521,829 (67% of the total) from eight
large redevelopment projects -Forest Place, Front Door (The Lodge at Vail), Gore Creek
Place, Lodge Tower, One Willow Bridge, Sonnenalp, Vail Plaza Hotel, and Westhaven
Condos. Major redevelopment projects accounted for $255,456 (46% of total) at this
time last year. Construction permit fees include building, electrical, mechanical,
plumbing, and sprinkler permits.
Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT)
RETT collections of $2.6 million through June 29, 2006 are down $497,836 from last
year. Last year's collections included over $1 million of tax from major transactions
(over $10 million selling price) including: the Chateau; units at Crossroads; Vail
Mountain Lodge timeshares; Founders' Park Garage; and the Vail Marriott, which sold in
June 2005.
