Re: 2883 Timber Creek Drive
Our File No.: T217-002
Dear Mr. Neubecker:
I am counsel for Timber Creek Lodges Condominium Association. Bryan Sperry has
asked me to contact you regarding an application for permit with the Design Review Board
regarding decks at the condominium and an appeal filed by Michael Gladkin.
I am aware that an appeal hearing has been set for Wednesday, August 21, 2019 at 3:00
p.m. It is also my understanding that the staff will provide information to the Design Review
Board at the next regularly scheduled meeting on July 17. The purpose of this letter is to provide
additional facts which were not included in the appeal letters from Balcomb and Green and Mr.
Gladkin.
The issue of the decks was the subject of a lawsuit filed by Mr. Gladkin in Eagle County
District Court. On February 1, 2019, the Court issued an Omnibus Order holding that the
Condominium Association had the authority to remove the decks and replace them with Juliet
balconies. Mr. Gladkin filed a Motion to Stay Execution of this Order which was denied by the
Court. Although Mr. Gladkin has appealed the Court's Order, the Condominium Association is
entitled to proceed with removal of the decks. I am enclosing copies of both of these orders for
your review.

This application was originally made in 2017 which was approved by the Design Review
Board. Mr. Gladkin did not protest the decision at that time. When Mr. Sperry submitted the
application on behalf of the Association last month, he used the same drawings and design as in
2017.
I would appreciate your submitting this information to the Design Review Board for their
next regularly scheduled meeting on July 17. If you have any questions, please feel free to call
me.

NOTICE OF APPEAL
Re: Appeal of Design Review Board Administrative Approval Muni. Code 12.2.3)
Application No.: DRB19-0234
Project Name: DiGregorio/Gladkin Decks
Date of Approval.- June 12, 2019
Dear Mr. Gennett,
I represent the Victoria A. Gladkin Revocable Trust ("Gladkin"), together with
Macrina DiGregorio and Cynthia Horvath (collectively "DiGregorio"), owners of units B10
and B5, respectively, of the Timber Creek Lodges Condominiums. This letter serves as
Gladkin's and DiGregorio's formal appeal of the recent administrative approval of
Application / Action Form DRB19-0234 (the "Application"), apparently submitted in their
name but without their involvement, participation, knowledge or consent, by an individual,
Bryan Sperry ("Sperry"), who may or may not be a duly authorized agent of their
Condominium Association (the "COA"). The Application was approved by the
administrative action of Chris Neubecker on June 12, 2019 (the "Decision").
This appeal is submitted pursuant to the Town of Vail Municipal Code sec. 12.2.3.
Relevant to this matter, the Municipal Code of the Town of Vail states as follows:
"[A]ppeals of any decision, determination or interpretation by any town
administrative official with regard to a design guideline shall be heard by the
design review board. "Code 12-3-3(B)(1).
My clients are seeking an appeal of the Decision to the Design Review Board,
consistent with the Code.

The Application, as it was submitted by the COA, specifically identifies my clients in

knowledge of any such application, nor were they consulted in advance of its submission in
their name. They have standing to appeal under the Code because the project was
submitted in their name, and because the Application lists them as the Property Owners.
They also have standing to appeal as "aggrieved or adversely affected" persons, being the
sole users and beneficiaries of the limited common element balconies that the Application
confesses they own.
"A written notice of appeal must be filed with the administrator or with the
department of community development rendezing the decision, determination or
interpretation within twenty (20) calendar days of the decision becoming final "
Code 12-3-3(B)(3).
The Decision was rendered June 12, 2019, and this written notice is submitted within
the 20 day window for appeals.
"Such notice hof appeal] shall be accompanied by the name and addresses
(person's mailing and propertys physical) of the appellant, applicant, property
owner, and adjacent property owners (the list of property owners within a
condominium project shall be satisfied by listing the addresses for the managing
agent or the board of directors of the condominium association) as well as
specific and articulate reasons for the appeal on forms provided by the town. "
Code 12-3-3(B)(3).
The addresses of the "Applicant," property owners, and a listing of the managing
agent for the board of directors of the COA are attached hereto in Exhibit A. I am informed
by Community Development Staff that there are no particular "forms" for filing an appeal
of DRB administrative approval. Specific reasons for the appeal are thus partially outlined
on a separate attachment in the form of a letter submitted by Michael Gladkin, (Exhibit B),
and partly outlined below as follows:
o The Application submitted is apparently a fraud; the Action Form
indicates it was submitted by Mr. Sperry on behalf of the identified
"Property Owners" without their knowledge or consent. The "Applicant"
ASPEN ( BASALT I GLENWOOD SPRINGS I LAMAR I BUENA VISTA
Letter to Gennett
WIC WATER LAW I REAL ESTATE I LITIGATION I BUSINESS ESTR 1053 July 1, 2019
Page 3 of 4
thus had no legal authority to have filed any such application on their
behalf, having no authority granted by the Application's own, identified,
Property Owners.
o The listed Property Owners do not consent to the relief requested by the
Application.
o The Property Owners do not agree to the proposed form of repair. Other
forms of repair exist that do not require removal of the log joists.
o The Application falsely identifies that the "Project Owners" have no
telephone numbers. Mr. Sperry has personal knowledge that both
Gladkin and DiGregorio have telephone numbers, and that they are
reachable through this law firm, which has represented them in ongoing
litigation concerning these balconies since 2017. Litigation between the
COA and my clients is presently in the Colorado Court of Appeals.
o Mr. Sperry is not a property owner at the COA, and upon information
and belief not a Director of the Board. Gladkin and DiGregorio are
unaware of any vote taken by the BOA authorizing Mr. Sperry to have
submitted this Application on behalf of the COA, or on behalf of Gladkin
and DiGregorio. The Application does not appear to have been submitted
in the name of the COA.
o The Application is supported by a document titled "Joint Property Owner
Written Approval Letter" signed by Kimberly Sperry (the "Letter"). Mrs.
Sperry identifies herself as the "President" on the Letter. Though she does
not identify what she is president of, presumably she means she is the
president of the COA. The COA does not appear to be the Applicant. Mrs.
Sperry is also not the Applicant; the applicant listed by the Action Form is
Bryan Sperry, in his individual capacity. The Letter is thus insufficient to
support the Application, being submitted by a person other than the
Applicant. See Code 12-11-4(C)(1)(1).
o The Letter provides space for joint property owners to initial the
document, to authorize changes and waive notifications. These spaces are
blank, because the Property Owners, Gladkin and DiGregorio, were
unaware of and were never consulted about the Letter. The Letter is
ASPEN ( BASALT I GLENWOOD SPRINGS ( LAMAR I BUENA VISTA
lateBALCOMB&GREEN Letter to Gennett
WATER LAW I REAL ESTATE I LITIGATION I BUSINESS ESTR 1953 July 1, 2019
Page 4 of 4
therefore additionally insufficient to support the Application because it is
not signed by the listed Property Owners, and because it was submitted
without their approval. See Code 12-11-4(C)(1)(1).
o Upon information and belief there was no pre -application conference held
in association with the Application. Code 12-11-4(A).
o Upon information and belief there was no conceptual design review
associated with the Application. Code 12-11-4(B).
o The materials submitted in support of the Application are not in
compliance with the requirements of the Code. See Code 12-11-4(C)(2);
see also Ex. B.
o The Application was never a proper candidate for Administrative
Approval, because it seeks to significantly change the existing planes of
the Building it affects. Administrative approval of the Application was
thus improper. See Code 12-11-3(A).
"The town council may set a reasonable fee for filing an appeal of an
administrative decision, determination or interpretation. The fee will be adopted
in a fee schedule which shall be maintained in the department of community
development. The fee shall be paid at the time the appeal is filed. "Code 12-3-
3(B)(6).
Community Development Office Manager Shelley Bellm confirmed in a telephone
call with this office that the Town of Vail has not set a reasonable fee for filing appeal of an
administrative decision. In reliance on that representation, no fee is submitted herewith.
For scheduling purposes, I will be out of town on a family vacation beginning
August 1 through the 16L''. On behalf of my clients, therefore, I request that a hearing on this
appeal be scheduled for some time after August 16, pursuant to Code 12-3-3(B)(3).

Re: Town of Vail Design Review# DRB19-0234 and Building Permit# B19-0250
Shelley and Chris,
I am writing this letter to inform you that I, Michael Gladkin, Owner in Trust of Timbercreek Lodges Unit
1310 under the Victoria A Gladkin Revocable Trust, was unaware of both Town of Vail applications
DRB19-0234, DRB17-0368 (prior application), and Building Permit application #B19-0250 (Multi -Family).
All three applications were submitted without my knowledge, consent, or approval.
We are contesting the legitimacy of these applications for multiple reasons primarily of which the HOA is
attempting to permanently remove our property without our consent. This is in ongoing litigation.
DRB19-0234 Non -conformances and Safety Issues (all applications omit the following information):
(a) The Survey/Site Plan is missing from the submittal. The Timbercreek Lodges Survey and Site
Plan includes elevation and plan views of the property buildings proposed to be modified. It
depicts the structural relationship of the deck beams to both the interior and exterior of the units.
Removal of the deck beams may cause structural issues with the building and requires
engineering review and structural analysis prior to removal.
- Town of Vail Submittal Requirement: 12-11-4, sec C, part(a): Survey: A topographic survey
representative of existing conditions..."
- Town of Vail Submittal Requirement: 12-11-4, sec C, part(d): Site Plan: "...the existing and
proposed layout of buildings and other structures including decks..."
(b) The LCE Deck log joist segments proposed to be removed are structural joists that span from the
end of the exterior LCE decks through the 2nd floor of the units and comprise the 2nd floor's
structural subfloor. The removal of these cantilevered beam segments may cause damage the
units by shifting of the interior/exterior walls and flooring throughout per the Associations
Engineering Opinion report in May of 2018. Further analysis is recommended.
- Town of Vail Submittal Requirement: 12-11-4, sec C, part (d): Site Plan: "...the existing and
proposed layout of buildings and other structures including decks, patios...."
- Town of Vail Submittal Requirement 12-11-4, sec C, part (g): Architectural Plans: "including
floor plans labeled and drawn in sufficient detail..."
(c) Removal of the LCE Decks and installing a railing will block the storm door and prevent human
egress from the 2nd floor master bedroom of the unit. This is a safety hazard. There is currently
no proposal from the HOA on how to address this matter in their submittal.
Building Permit Application #B19-0250 is incomplete and/or missing the following documents (as required
at minimum by the Town of Vail Residential Minimum Project Submittal Requirements):
- CO Engineer of Record (EOR) stamped Drawings and Calculations (every page)
- Title Page and Code Analysis
- EOR Structural Analysis/Calculations
- Floor Plans
- Framing Plans
- Elevations
- Cross Sections/Details
Due to the pending litigation and immense safety concern of proceeding without the proper engineering
structural analysis being completed by a licensed CO Engineer of Record, it is my request that no
Building Permit be considered or issued and no further construction work be performed by the HOA prior
to completion of the application, review, and approval by the Town of Vail Building Planning/Inspectors
(as the HOA has already removed the decking without our consent). I request that the Town of Vail inform
me directly should any further submittals occur as the HOA is not informing or providing us any
information in regards to this matter. The HOA has ignored multiple requests.
Respectfully,
Michael Gladkin

On May 3, 2017, at Mike Delain's request, I visited the property referenced above
to observe the south side upper level decks of Unit B5 & B10 and provide my
observations and opinions on the overall structural condition of the deck. The
opinions expressed in this report are based only on visual observation of the
condition of the structure on this date, without disturbing any integrity of the
residence. These opinions do not represent overall property review, structural
analysis, or compliance with applicable building code. The original construction
documents for the residence were not present at the time of my visit.
PERSONS PRESENT AT THE TIME OF VISIT:
Mike Delain, property management representative
PURPOSE AND SCOPE:
The purpose of this report is to evaluate and determine if the structural integrity
of the decks of the units mentioned above are at risk. We were also asked to
provide recommendations of the remedial work that should be done on the decks
where structural problems and or damage may have been observed.
BACKGROUND:
The properties are condominium units in a multi -unit development. These
particular units are end units that share one common wall. There were no plans
provided to me at the time of my visit. It was indicated to me by Mike that the
building may have been built in the early 1980's. It appears that the building was
constructed with a combination of cast in place concrete footings and foundation
walls located over a crawlspace with log walls, log beams and log joists.

.970.949.7100
Fm970.949.3377
At the time of my visit I observed that the south upper level exterior
cantilevered decks were approximately 13'-6" in width and extended 6'-6" from
the exterior log wall. The decks were accessed by a sliding door from the upper
south bedrooms. The deck structure appeared to be 2x6 treated decking that
were screwed into approximately twelve inch diameter cantilevered logs spaced
approximately twenty four inches apart. The cantilevered logs back -spanned into
the unit approximately 30'-0" and appeared to be part of the upper floor joists
structure. The railings on the three open sides of the deck were a series of log
newel posts with dimensional top and bottom rails and wood pickets. The decks
were partially covered by the gable roof above. In some areas the 2x decking
appeared to be warped and had become unattached to the log joists below. The
log joists appeared to have some type of flashing along the tops where the 2x
decking material was bearing. The log deck joists on Unit B5 appeared to have
many large cracks along the horizontal length and at the cut ends. The log deck
joists on Unit B10 appeared to also have many large cracks along the horizontal
length but those cracks appeared to have been filled in with some type of
chinking material. The cut ends also appeared to have some type of
waterproofing remedial work done on them. Most of the log joists on both units
appeared to have been weathered and rotted in areas. Upon sticking a one inch
knife into different locations along the sides and bottoms of some of the log joists,
I was able to insert it the full length with very little force indicating the logs have
been compromised of their structural integrity. Upon sticking a writing pen into
the top of the log joist where the decking was bearing, I was also able to insert it
two or more inches also with very little force.
CONCLUSIONS:
At this time I feel that the cantilevered log deck joists are rotted out in areas over
time and the cantilevered ends that support the upper decks should be replaced.
Without proper maintenance with snow removal, waterproofing and flashing on
the decks, water will eventually penetrate the cracks and other holes and
compromise the structural integrity of the logs. This rotting is evident being able
to penetrate the log joists with a knife and a writing pen with little force.

At this time it is hard to determine how much of the cantilevered log joists have
been compromised of their structure. I recommend that the decking and any type
of waterproofing and flashing should be removed to expose the log joists. At that
time we should be called to try and determine how much of the log has been
compromised and if they have any structural value left in them. We will then be
able to determine if any of the deck joists can be used or if they need to be
replaced entirely. If the decks need to be completely replaced we recommend
cutting the existing log joists back to the exterior wall then apply a ledger to the
exterior wall, provide new deck joists and a new beam with a support post at
each end that bear on cast in place concrete footing and piers.

On June 22, 2017, at Mike Delain's request, I visited the property referenced
above to observe the south side upper level decks of Unit B5 & B10 and provide
my observations and opinions on the overall structural condition of the existing
log deck joists. The opinions expressed in this report are based only on visual
observation of the condition of the structure on this date, without disturbing any

report is a follow up on an original observation report that was completed on May
5, 2017.
PERSONS PRESENT AT THE TIME OF VISIT:
Mike Delain, property management representative.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE:
The purpose of this report is to evaluate and determine if the existing log deck
joists of the above mentioned units have any structural integrity. We were also
asked to provide recommendations of the remedial work that should be done on
the decks where structural problems and or damage may have been observed.

Timber Creek Lodge, Unit 135 & 610, 2883 Timber Creek Drive, Vail, CO #0405-17
At the time of my visit I observed that the majority of the decking material
had been removed. The log deck joists had their tops planed down leaving a flat
surface for the decking to bear on and be attached. On each side of the flat
surface of the log deck joists there appeared to be a strip of aluminum flashing.
On the flat surface of the log joists there was some type of waterproofing
membrane between the flashing. On some of the logs the waterproofing
membrane was ripped and the log deck joists were exposed. In the areas that
the log deck joists were exposed I observed rot in the log, (see image 1). 1 was
able to remove the rot with my fingers with ease. I was also able to insert a six
inch metal spike through one of the logs by easily tapping it with a hammer. I also
noticed that one of the deck joists had been cut back and a scabbed on piece of
log had been attached to it. This scabbed on piece was being held up by a rope
at one end and the remaining to deck joists at the other end, (see image 2).

the log deck joists were exposed I observed rot in the log, (see image 1). 1 was
able to remove the rot with my fingers with ease. I was also able to insert a six
inch metal spike through one of the logs by easily tapping it with a hammer. I also
noticed that one of the deck joists had been cut back and a scabbed on piece of
log had been attached to it. This scabbed on piece was being held up by a rope
at one end and the remaining to deck joists at the other end, (see image 2).

CONCLUSIONS:
At this time I feel that the cantilevered log deck joists are rotted out and have
been compromised of their structural integrity. I feel that they are not safe and
should no longer be used structurally.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I recommend cutting the log deck joists back to the exterior log wall. Observation
of the cut end section should be taken to see if there are any signs of rot where
the log bears. If there are any signs of rot I should be called out to determine if
the logs can support the imposed loading of upper floor and roof systems. If there
are no signs of rot at the cut end section proper flashing and waterproofing
should be used to prevent any more damage to the log joists. Also as stated in or
previous report, if the owners want to replace the decks we recommend apply a
ledger to the existing exterior wall, provide new deck joists and a new beam with
a support post at each end that bear on cast in place concrete footing and piers.
If you would like to discuss this report, or if we can be of further service to you,
please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dougherty, Robert L. Rasmussen, Patricia A. Rasmussen, William A. Stellenwerf, Elena V.
Stellenwerf, David D. Donaldson, Leo James Marx, Laura Smock, Kimberly J. Sperry, and
Timbercreek A-4 LLC ("Reply"). Having considered the Motion, Response, and Reply, and
arguments of counsel, the Court enters the following Order.1
I. INTRODUCTION
Timber Creek Lodges Condominiums ("Timber Creek") is a condominium complex
located in Vail, Colorado. It comprises ten units and two buildings, Buildings A and B.
Building A has four units and Building B has six units. The Association is the unit owners'
association which governs Timber Creek. Petitioners Horvath and DiGregorio own Units B5 and
Gladkin owns Unit B10. This matter arises out of the deteriorating condition of certain log
beams (the `Beams") that provide structural support for the two upper level Limited Common
Element ("LCE") decks (the "Decks") allocated to Units B5 and B10. Mr. Gladkin initiated this
action on November 17, 2017, by the filing of the Petition for Declaratory Judgment (the
"Petition"). The Claims for Relief in the Petition and Counterclaims for Relief averred in the
1 This Order shall also resolve Petitioner's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment submitted November 20, 2018
and fully briefed, as well as Petitioner's Motion for a Determination of a Question of Law submitted December 21,
2018 and fully briefed.
Page 2 of 11
Association's First Amended Counterclaims submitted September 24, 2018 ("Counterclaims")
both seek declaratory relief pursuant to C.R.C.P. 57 and C.R.S. § 13-51-101.
The parties dispute the method by which to resolve the structural problems associated
with the deteriorating Decks. Gladkin's solution is to reconstruct new Decks to their original
dimensions of 6.35 feet deep by 13.50 feet wide on post and piers which then would sit on a
water line easement for the benefit of the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District. See Exhibit D
to Motion. The Board's position is to modify the dimensions of the Decks to that of a Juliet
balcony with dimensions of 16 inches deep by 13.50 feet wide.
The issues before the Court are whether the Association has the authority to modify the
dimensions of the Decks by the Amendment of the Condominium Map for Building B of Timber
Creek Lodges Condominiums to Change the Dimensions of the Upper Level LCE Decks for Units
B5 and BIO ("Amendment of the Condominium Map") and, if so, whether it did so properly and
in accordance with the law. See Exhibit H to Motion.
By the Motion, the Movants request the Court to enter an Order determining that: (1) the
Amendment of the Condominium Map was duly approved by the unit owners of the Association;
(2) the Amendment of the Condominium Map changes the dimensions of the upper level Decks
at Units B5 and B10; (3) the Association is authorized, pursuant to the duly approved
Amendment of the Condominium Map and amended Declaration and Condominium Map to
repair the Decks as Juliet balconies at the dimensions of 16 inches deep by 13.50 feet wide; (4)
the Petition is dismissed with prejudice; (5) the Association's counterclaims are dismissed with
prejudice; judgment enter against Mr. Gladkin, as Special Trustee for the Victoria A. Gladkin
Revocable Trust, for the Movants' reasonable attorney fees and costs; and (6) for such other
relief as the Court deems proper. Motion, at 21.

Il. STANDARD OF REVIEW2
Summary judgment under C.R.C.P 56(a) is appropriate "when the pleadings and
supporting documents clearly demonstrate that no issues of material fact exist and the moving
party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." A. C. Excavating v. Yaht Club H Homeowners
Assoc., Inc., 114 P.3d 862, 865 (Colo. 2005). Summary judgment is designed to avoid
unnecessary trials and is proper when no genuine issue exists as to any material fact and the
moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. C.R.C.P. 56; Terrell v. Walter E. Heller
& Co., 439 P.2d 989, 990-91 (Colo. 1968). To merit summary judgment, the facts must be clear
and undisputed. Morlan v. Durland Trust Co., 252 P.2d 98, 100 (Colo. 1952). A material fact is
a fact that will determine the outcome of a case. Peterson v. Halsted, 829 P.2d 373, 375 (Colo.
1992). A factual issue that is not material will not prevent the entry of summary judgment.
Svanidze v. Kirkendall, 169 P.3d 262, 264 (Colo. App. 2007). The movant bears the initial
burden of demonstrating the lack of a genuine issue of material fact.3 Schultz v. Wells, 13 P.3d
846, 848 (Colo. App. 2000). Once the movant demonstrates that there is an absence of a genuine
issue, the burden shifts to the nonmovant to show that an issue does exist. McCormick v. Union
Pac. Res. Co., 14 P.3d 346, 349 (Colo. 2000). In determining the existence of a genuine issue of
material fact, a court is to grant a non-moving party the benefit of all favorable inferences
reasonably drawn from the facts and is to resolve all doubts in favor of a non-moving party.
Jenkins v. Panama Canal Ry. Co., 208 P.3d 238, 241 (Colo. 2009). The nonmoving party "may
2 The Court addresses Petitioners' issues with regard to the Movants' submission of this Motion pursuant to
C.R.C.P. 56 in this Order infra.
3 In those situations in which the movant would not bear the burden of persuasion at trial, the movant's initial burden
of production may be satisfied by demonstrating an absence of evidence in the record supporting the nonmovant's
case. Cont'1 Airlines, 731 P.2d at 712, citing Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 325 (1986). In other words, if a
defendant moves for summary judgment, he may argue that the record contains no evidence on which a plaintiff
could prevail.

not rest upon the pleadings, but must present specific facts demonstrating the existence of
disputed facts." Snook v. Joyce Homes, Inc., 215 P.3d 1210, 1218 (Colo. App. 2009).
I11. ANALYSIS
The Court first addresses whether the Association has the authority to change or modify
the dimensions of the Decks. The Movants assert that the Association has such authority
pursuant to its governing documents and the Colorado Common Interest Community Act, C.R.S.
§ 38-33.3-101, et seq. ("CCIOA"). The Association is subject to CCIOA. Motion, at 10; see
Exhibit I to Motion, Timber Creek Lodges Condominiums Statement of Election to Accept the
Provisions of the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act. In support of their argument, the
Movants assert that the Association has the right to "repair the Decks as Juliet balconies"
pursuant to CCIOA which gives the Association the authority to "' [r]egulate the use,
maintenance, repair, replacement, and modification of common elements [emphasis added]."'
Motion, at 7; see C.R.S. § 38-33.3-302(1)(f). As noted by the Movants, a LCE is part of the
common elements by definition pursuant to the Declaration and CCIOA. Motion, at 7; see
Exhibit E to Motion, Declaration, Section 1(e); see also C.R.S. § 38-33.3-103(19). In addition,
the Beams are common elements in the Declaration. Motion, at 7; Exhibit E to Motion,
Declaration, Section 1(d)(2). The Movants note that the Decks are not included within the
definition of a "unit" under the Declaration. See id. The Movants posit that the First
Amendment to Condominium Declaration for Vail Intermountain swim and Tennis Club
Condominiums [Now Known as Timber Creek Lodges Condominiums] ("First Amendment to the
Declaration")4 provides that the Declaration and Map may be amended by a majority vote of the
unit owners of the Association, measured by one vote per unit. Motion, at 15; see Exhibit G to
4 The First Amendment to the Declaration was recorded at reception number 2008801243 on January 18, 2008 in the
records of the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder.
Page 5 of 11
Motion, First Amendment to the Declaration, page 2, para. 17(a). C.R.S. § 38-33.3-217(1)(a)(I)
provides, in pertinent part:
... that the declaration, including the plats and maps, may
be amended only by the affirmative vote or agreement of unit
owners of units to which more than fifty percent of the votes in the
association are allocated or any larger percentage, not to exceed
sixty-seven percent, that the declaration specifies.
Motion, at 15.
C.R.S. § 38-33.3(217)(4)(a) requires at least sixty-seven percent of the unit owners to approve a
"change in the boundaries of any unit or the allocated interests of a unit." Motion, at 15. The
Movants add that any amendment to the Declaration also requires approval by a majority of
"Eligible First Mortgagees." Motion, at 15; Exhibit G to Motion, First Amendment to the
Declaration, paras. 17(d)(i) and (ii). An Eligible First Mortgagee is defined by the First
Amendment to the Declaration as a First Mortgagee that provided the notice to the Association
as required by paragraph 17(d)(ii) of the First Amendment to the Declaration. Motion, at 15;
Exhibit G to Motion, First Amendment to the Declaration. No First Mortgagee provided the
required notice as confirmed by the affidavit of Kimberly Sperry, President of the Association.
Motion, at 15; Exhibit K; Affidavit of Kimberly Sperry, Para. 29. As such, there are no Eligible
First Mortgagees to be taken into account respect to approval of the Amendment of the
Condominium Map. Motion, at 15.
In response, Petitioners argue that the Amendment of the Condominium Map does not
give the Association the "legal right to remove" the Decks. Response, at 3-4. "Petitioners
dispute that anything other than a unanimous vote of the Unit Owners of Building B could
authorize the actual, physical destruction of common elements associated with Building B"
which Petitioners claim is "owned jointly and severally, in undivided interests, by the unit
owners of Building B" but do not proffer support for this argument. Response, at 3.
Page 6 of 11
Specifically, Petitioners argue that voting percentage is or should be based on a percentage of
square footage of units in Building B. Id. at 5, 8, and 10. The Movants reply that the First
Supplement to Condominium Declaration for Vail Intermountain Swim and Tennis Club
Condominiums (the "First Supplement") upon which they state Petitioners rely, does not address
voting requirements. Reply, at 7; Exhibit T attached to Motion, First Supplement. As discussed
supra, the First Amendment expressly provides that the Declaration and Condominium Map may
be amended by a majority vote of the unit owners of the Association, measured by one vote per
unit. As such, the Court finds Petitioners' argument with regard to voting percentage based on
square footage of units in Building B to be unsupported and without merit.
Petitioners also assert in the Response that "[n]othing in the Declaration, CCIOA, or
Colorado law, allows for an [a]ssociation.... to have the power to destroy those owners' real
property interests by a simple majority vote authorizing the recording of an inaccurate map." Id.
Petitioners misstate the issue. The issue is neither the "legal right to remove" the Decks nor the
Association's power to destroy real property interests of unit owners by a simple majority;
rather, in the matter before this Court, the issue is whether the Association has the authority to
"repair" or "modify" the Decks resulting in changed dimensions of such Decks. The Court finds
that pursuant to the Association's governing documents and CCIOA, as discussed supra, the
Association has such authority.
The Court next addresses the second issue of whether the Amendment of the
Condominium Map was properly approved and adopted by the unit owners. Petitioners concede
that "it is undisputed that the language of the Amendment of the Condominium Map voted on
purports" to "change[] the dimensions of the Decks on the [Condominium] Map for purposes of
the Declaration to 16 inches deep by 13.50 feet wide." Response, at 8. However, Petitioners
Page 7 of 11
assert that the "legal significance" of the vote is "highly disputed." Id. Petitioners then refer to
their Motion for a Determination of Question of Law, now ripe, and state that it "asks the Court
to confirm the legal impotency of the vote." Id.; see Petitioners' Motion for a Determination of a
Question of Law, at 5. The First Amendment to the Declaration provides the events necessary to
render an amendment effective which includes an approved writing, certificate by the
Association, and recording. See Exhibit G to Motion, First Amendment to the Declaration, para.
17. Accordingly, the Court evaluates whether such requirements have been satisfied by the
Board. As noted by the Movants, the Board presented the Amendment of the Condominium
Map to the owners at the Association's Annual Meeting on July 14, 2018. Motion, at 8; Exhibit
A to Motion, Affidavit of Bryan Sperry, para. 22. A Ballot for approval or disapproval of the
Amendment of the Condominium Map was provided to the unit owners at the Annual Meeting
("Ballot"). Motion, at 8; Exhibit A to Motion, Affidavit of Bryan Sperry, para. 22. The Ballot
provides for the notarized signature of the unit owner casting the vote for a particular unit.
Motion, at 11; Exhibit J to Motion, Ballot. The Board prepared a drawing for the unit owners'
reference titled Partial Improvement Survey Plat/Topographic Survey ("Reference Drawing") to
be attached to the Amendment of the Condominium Map, which shows the change in the depth
of the Decks at Units B5 and B10 to 16 inches. Motion, at 11; Exhibit A to Motion, Affidavit of
Bryan Sperry, para. 23; see Exhibit C to Motion, Affidavit of Kimberly Sperry, para. 13; see also
Exhibit K, Reference Drawing. The Movants state that a Notice of a special meeting of the
Association (the "Special Meeting"), along with the Amendment of the Condominium Map, the
Ballot, and the Reference Drawing, was mailed by Kimberly Sperry to the unit owners by
certified mail on August 16, 2018 ("Notice"). Motion, at 11; Exhibit C to Motion, Affidavit of
Kimberly Sperry, para. 14; Exhibit L to Motion, the Notice. The Board also provided a proxy
Page 8 of 11
("Proxy") to the unit owners authorizing the Board to accept a Ballot returned by mail or email
in lieu of personal acceptance of the unit owner casting the vote. Motion, at 11; Exhibit M to
Motion, Proxy. The Proxy was sent to each of the unit owners with the Notice. Motion, at 11;
Exhibit C to Motion, Affidavit of Kimberly Sperry, para. 17. At the Special Meeting, Ms. Sperry
reported that there were eight (8) votes in favor and two (2) against the Amendment of the
Condominium Map. Motion, at 13; Exhibit C to Motion, Affidavit of Kimberly Sperry, para. 23.
The votes were then certified by an independent third -party account firm, Haynie & Company,
Certified Public Accountants, on September 4, 2018 ("the Verification"). Motion, at 13; Exhibit
C to Motion, Affidavit of Kimberly Sperry, para. 26; see Exhibit P to Motion, Verification.
Pursuant to the Ballots and the Verification, eighty percent (80%) of all unit owners approved the
Amendment of the Condominium Map. Motion, at 13; Exhibit P to Motion, Verification; see
also Exhibit Q to Motion, Ballots. A Certification of the vote on the Amendment of the
Condominium Map was executed indicating that the Amendment of the Condominium Map was
approved by the unit owners of the Association as required by the First Amendment and CCIOA.
Motion, at 13-14; Exhibit C to Motion, Affidavit of Kimberly Sperry, para. 28; Exhibit O to
Motion, Affidavit of Patricia Rasmussen, para. 10; Exhibit S to Motion, Certification
(recorded).5
The Court determines that the requirements enumerated in the First Amendment to the
Declaration have been satisfied thereby rendering the adoption of the Amendment of the
Condominium Map effective.6
As a final matter, the Court addresses Petitioners' contention that the Motion was not
brought properly under C.R.C.P. 56. Petitioners contend that the Court may not enter summary

judgment because a claim has not been pled relating to the adoption of the Amendment of the
Condominium Map. Response, at 2. The Movants reply that no claim could have been pled by
the Association or any of the other Movants because the Amendment to the Condominium Map
had not occurred when the pleadings were filed. Reply, at 12. The Movants express their
willingness to amend the Counterclaims to conform to the changed circumstances regarding the
adoption of the Amendment to the Condominium Map. Id. at 13. The Movants maintain that
Petitioners are arguing form over substance. Id.
The Court accepts the Movants' willingness to amend the Counterclaims to conform to
the pleadings. The Court notes that the Petition initiating this action was filed on November 17,
2017. As such, and in the interest of ensuring an efficient and fair resolution of this already
protracted matter, the Court accepts the arguments proffered in the Motion and deems it
appropriate to grant the relief requested by the Movants.

litigation. This request is made pursuant to CRCP 62(b)(3)&(4). The Court has reviewed the motion, response, and reply.
The Court DENIES Plaintiffs request.
This Court issued an order February 1, 2019, granting Motion for Summary Judgment on behalf of the Association. In that
ruling the Court found that the Association had appropriately modified the declarations thereby authorizing the modification of
the unit decks as necessary. In this case the requested modification involves converting the deck to a "Juliet balcony." Mr.
Gladkin filed notice of appeal on February 19, 2019.
By virtue of the Courts February 1 order, the Association has the authority to modify the decks as necessary. This is the law
of the case. The Court DENIES the motion for stay of execution.
