sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared

Section (3} The repeal or the repeal and reenactment
of any provision of the Vail Municipal Code as provided in this

seeding as commenced under or by virtue of the provision repealed
or repealed and reenacted. The repeal of any provision hereby
shall not revive any provision or any ordinance previously re-
pealed or superseded unless expressly stated herein.

is necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare and
that this ordinance shall become effective as an emergency ordi-
nance in accordance with Section 4.11 of the Charter of the Tawn

ment of ice and snow overhang prohibitions only against the pro-
peaty owners;
(b~ Many properties are owned by persons or entities
that are not residents of or located in the Town of Vail;
{.c} Therefore, enforcement is difficult,and voluntary
compliance has been spotty and less than uniform;
(d} The heavy snows of this year have created a num-
ber of dangerous conditions as a result of ice and snow overhangs
and accumlations; and
