I The purpose of this report is to provide background information
I about development alternatives for a Town of Vail property known as the
Katsos Ranch. The Town's five--vear capital budgetino requirementII necessitates long-range planning. It is, therefore, appropriate to begin
I the decision-makinq process for the development, or non-development,
I of this property to enable department heads to plan accordingly.
I
Limi tati ons
I *.Oort does not assess the ent'ire spectrum of developmental
I alternatjves. There are scores of poss'ib'l e land uses which are unconsidered
I in this report. This report is a first step in the planning process; it
I assesses broad categories of land use to i'llustrate the kinds of activitiesI
which might be selected for the Katsos Property. In this sense, there are
I four 'land use alternatives:
I . No Development
. Passive Recreation (l'imited use)
I Active Recreatjon (intensive use)
. An Executive, Nine-Hole Golf CourseI

SECTION 1. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Katsos Ranch had been used for sheep qrazing prior to its
purchase b.y Vail Associates in the earl_v 1960's. Vai'l Assocjates had
planned to develop the property for housing; however, steep slopes and
a number of natural hazards precluded extensjve development on the sjte.
The preliminary land use plan finally submitted by Va'i1 Associates contained
the fol 'lowi ng major 'land uses:
20.0 acres for housing, parking, and tennis courts'
20.1 acres for the Beaver Pond Preserve.
106.0 acres outsjde the deve'l opable area because of steep slopes
and extensive natural hazards.
U6.l_ total acres
The property was purchased by the Town of Vail from Vail Associates, Inc.,
for $375,000 in July, 1977. The Town is now in the process of assessing
its possible uses, considering the small amount of developable land outside
of steep slopes and natural hazard areas.
The .|46-acre Katsos Ranch l'ies immediate'ly east of the Vail Golf
course- The property roughly resembles an elongated rectangle, ly'ing
south of, and paral] el to, Interstate 70. It is five times longer than
it is wide--approximately 1.25 miles lonq and one-quartgr of a mile widp
for most of jts )ength. Gore Creek traverses the property from east to

west. The southern third of the property is dominated by thickly-forested,
steep slopes 'in excess of 40 percent. Roughly a third of the property (the
northern part) lies jn the 1O0-year flood p1ain. Between these two constraint
zones is a thin strip of land, varying between 100-400 feet in width for
most of the 1.25 miles length of property. However, it also has some steep
flat area is occupied by a beaver pond. This beaver pond is
ecological unit in the Gore Valley, as described more fully
secti on.
ln 1974-75 when Vail Associates was preparing a development p'l an for
the Katsos Ranch, it retained consultants to assess avalanche hazards on
the Katsos Ranch. A report was prepared at that time* which identified
three major gul1ies, spaced somewhat evenly over the Katsos Property;
they are named (from east to west) ... Terray Gully, Gilkey Gully, and
Frontage Gu11y. See Exhibit No. l.
Ava'lanches and Mudflows
Zones des'ignated as "High Hazard" and "E{treme HJzard" cover approximate'ly
one-half to two-thirds of the western ha'lf of the property; simitarly,
hazard zones of this type cover approximately one-third to one-half of the
eastern half. A site near the bottom of the limestone cliffs above the

property has occasionally released wet flowing avalanches (The S'idewinder
Track). Additionally, there have been wet, dry, and powder avalanches in
the three maior gullies which flow into the property.
Alpine mudflows which involve the movement of rocks and assorted
debris down the steep slopes of mountainous areas have occurred in the
past in the Katsos'three gu] lies; estimated return flows and general
characteristics of the three gulties were described as follows
in the McDowell-Smith and Mears' report:
,'The Terray debris cone is very unstable and frequent large mudflows
should be expected. Typicaliy, they wi'l I not fl ow beyond the trees,
but depending upon the-water content and viscosity, Some may extend to
Gore Cieek. -Thb large mudflows on this cone are potentially
dangerous to life and property and they often exceed the size of the
Racquet Club mudflow."*

Detailed planning

Present Uses
should obviously incorporate the findings and
the McDowell-Smith and Mears report.
The major use of the Katsos property at the present tjme is one
of open space. The bike path is already constructed through the western
third of the property. It crosses Gore Creek over a bicycle bridge'
and ends short'ly thereafter. Bicyclists can continue on the Frontage
Road crossing under I-70 to the North Frontage Road toward the Booth
Creek Neighborhood. There 'is no bridge at the eastern end of the
property.
Parts of the l4th and lSth holes of the Vail Golf course were
/*ttvL
constructed on the western edge of the Katsos PropertVnVears ago. There
is an existing footpath, developeC by usage, for runners and bikers
which traverses the property. In the winter time, the Town of Vail
maintains a cross-country ski trai'l through the property.
The beaver pond serves as a visiting place for Nature Centre tours-
In the summer of 1977.- more than 120 peopte were escorted to the beaver
ponds on guided tours. 0bservers can walk very near the three beaver
'lodgesi therefore, they serve as an excellent teaching example. There are
usually about six beavers in this Katsos pond. The beaver lodges are
connected by channels--walled canals with mud walls carved out and
packed by the beavers to facilitate their rapid travels across the pond.
[uring winter, a lodge usually contains the parents, the two kits iust
born the previous spring, and the kits from the year before--al'l together

for protection against the coid, In the spring, when the next generation
is expected, the female stays in the main lodge; the rest of the family
moves to the auxiliary Iodges. Nature Centre Director Mrs. Jackie
Pyka estimated that approximately half of the beaver population in the
Gore Val'ley resides in the Katsos pond.
In summary, most of the'l and on the Katsos Property is unsuitable
for the placement of permanent structures because of the steep slopes'
snow ava'lanches, mud f'l ows, and floods. Similarly, activities should be
restricted during periods of high hazard risk--during and after periods
of heavy rain, and during the spring when the snow cover is beginning
to melt.

SECTION 2. ALTIRNATIVE LAND USES
This sectjon of the report presents four alternative uses for
the Katsos Property to jllustrate the kinds of activitjes which might
take place on the property and the rnagnitude of the developntent impacts.
It has not been the purpose'in the selection of these illustrative uses
to preclude from future cons'ideration any other possibilities. The four
development alternatives include No Action, DeveloPment for Passive
Recreation. Development for Intensive Recreation, and an Executive
Nine-Hole Golf Course.
Alternative l: No Action
The No Action course s'imply means that the Town Government would
make no improvements 'in the property'
Activit.i es. The current activ'i t'i es on the site were summarized in
the previouS sect'ion: open space, hiking and running trails, and Nature
Centre tours to the beaver Pond.

Activities. Specifical ly, for purposes of this report,
the following facilities
devel opment
for Passive Recreation would incl.ude
Exhibit No. 2):
An asphalt-covered bike trail.
An improved, bark running track.
A.parcours variatjon with either one (or both) of thestations along the trail for designated calisthenics.
Cross-country ski i ng. trai 1 .
Picnic tables for walk-ins in the sunrner; and a specialwinter picnic area as a term'i nus for cross-country skiers.
An improved wa1 k-way (probably boards) in and around the beaver
pond with'interpretive signage.
Deve'lopment Impacts. Extending the bike trail all the way through
the property wili necessitate another bridge over Gore Creek at the
eastern end of the property. The propert.y on the other (north) side
of Gore Creek at the eastern end is I-70 Right-of-Way; there is no
Frontage Road on the south side of the interstate highway at this point.
Negotiat'ions with the Colorado Department of Highways would have to be
conducted to use their Right-of-l'lay for 400-500 feet of bike path to
connect wjth the South Frontage Road at the Bighorn Intersection.
Alternatively, two parceis of land immediately east of the Katsos
Property might be purchased to facilitate the hookup with the existing
cul-de-sac in Bighorn, and thereby avoid frontage road traffic altogether.
The ten-foot wide bikepath could also serve as an intermittent service/A-road for municipal vehicle\Water and sewer lines would not be extended

additional adjoining property at the eastern end of the Katsos Property
would greatly facilitate vehiculu" u...rr3A water line could be
extended from the Booth Creek Area underneath the Interstate and made
avai'l able to the recreation area. A sewer line already traverses the
property; several hookups could be made for pub'l ic restrooms. More
picnic tables could be developed; they would be accessjble by automobile.
A1 I of the impacts associated with the running path, bike path, and walk-
way around the beaver pond would be repeated under this alternative.

Alternative 4: An Executive Golf Course
The land is unsuitable for a nine-hole extension of the present golf
course. Actually, parts of the l4th and l5th holes were constructed on
the Katsos Property years ago. They utilize some of the limited amount of
flat land in the western th'i rd of the property. The western half of the
property has an extensive amount of land with 40 percent slopes--probably
in excess of B0 percent of the surface area. The land a'l ong the Creek js
the most level in this western half; it probably is w'ide enough to contajn
one fairway. However, going the other way would require traveling--not
playing--for almost a thousand yards, just to move through this narrow
s tretch.
Activities. As shown in Exhibit No. 4, there are approximately
40-45 acres of relatively flat
not covered by the beaver pond.

Development Impacts. constructjon of a golf course at the eastern
end of the property would involve a substantjal amount of earth mov'i ng.
The natural slope of the land is toward the Creek (to the north)'
usually golfers do not enioy playing most of their shots with uphill and
downhill ljes. Therefore, there would be a tendency to "level" the va1 1ey
floor for the fairways. However, the changes in the land form caused by
the alternate'l eveling and building-up assoc'iated with construction of a
go1 f course might cause sizeable changes 'in the flood p'l ain. Golf course
greens, for example, can act as dams under flooding cond'itjons; but when ?
they give way, downstream fl ooding cou'l d be worsened. Any golf course
plan should give special attention to the floodplain--both on site as well
as offsite (downstream), and should consider the protection of human
'l ife as wel'l as propertY val ues.
A golf course would require an underground irrigation system, and'
of course, a s.izeable amount of irri gation water during the summer. (W.Mrr\- ltDvtlww
Linking the ponding and water storage fac1lities both on the Katsos I l"/
Property and the King Arthur's Court Property should be studied to'insure
an adequate supply of water for all of the uses.
This initial assessment wou'ld seem to 'indicate that an Executive
Nine Hole Golf Course would be a stand-alone operation--located at the
eastern end of the Katsos Property with its own park'i ng area, club house'
and supporting facil ities'
Automobile access from the east does not exjst. Again, vehicula
access would be greatly facilitated by purchase of the two lots immed
east of the property (approximately eight acres).

SECTION 3. SUMMARY OF PLANNING CONSIDTRATIONS
This section of the
considerations in terms
report attempts to summarize major planning
of physical concerns, user groups., and costs.
Physi cal Considerations
. The Katsos Property is a vital part of the diminishing open
space system in the Gore Va1 ley.
. Most of the Katsos land is in a natural hazard zone--avalanche,
mudflow, and floodplain. Appropriate precautions are mandatory.
. Most of the Katsos land is covered with steep slopes and is
unsuitable for intensive use.
. There is a significant wildlife feature represented by the
beaver pond--worthy of preservation.
tbil4,cs'. The property can pl ay/a key role as a transportation corrjdorfor hikers, runners,/and cross-country skiers--part'icular'ly in
terms of linking Bighorn ihthe rest of the Gore Val1ey.
. Acquisition of the adjoining property to the east wou'ld greatly
enhance access necessary for the golf course and the intensive
recreation al ternati ves.
User Groups
This project has not attempted to measure the potential demand for
the various activities out'l ined under the several alternative developmen
That assessment might be appropriate to estab'lish priorities. But clear
there is a sizeable demand for all of the activities--cross-country
skiing, bicyling, running, picnicking, golfing, nature hikes, and organi
sports. Selection of a development alternative should consider the tota
requirements of these various user groups throughout the Gore Valley; an
then consider how development of the Katsos Property would fit in with t
overal I plan.

Costs
Development costs for various land use alternatives wi1'l vary
depending on a variety of factors. A golf course, for example, might
range between $25,000 to $40,000 per hole depending on the layout and
des'ign complexity. An asphalt-paved bike path costs about $9 per linear
foot. Reliable cost estimates require specifications for particular
activities at des'i gnated locations. This report on environmental
considerations has dealt with general categories of uses--but for
talking purposes some ballpark cost estimates might be hel pful ...
$ 7o,ooo -
$160,000 -
$470,000 -
$ 0 Alternative No. I -- No Action.
$100,000 Alternative No. 2 -- Passive Recreation.
$320,000 Alternative No. 3 -- Active Recreation.
$700,000 Alternative No. 4 -- Golf Course and andtrail system.
It.should
be re-emphasized that a Sleat deal of planning and engineering
will be required before meaningful cost estimates are available.
Hopefuly, this report wjll serve as a starting point in selecting a
'land use alternative for the Katsos Rancn.

Katsos Park, 1t will be an rtant link with the
continued develoPment ot a ev-w
ski route.
1. Description of the Proposed Aetion
The Town of Vail acquired 146 acres of un-
doveloped land in itre freart of the community in 1976 '
it i" referred to as the "Katsos Ranch Park'" The
=it" i" a beautiful , natural parcel containing a
U4"""" pond, large groves of aspens and pines ' over
a rnile of stream'irlntage, rvaterfalls, cliffs ' meadows
and numerous other natuial features of interest ' It
is the last remaining piece of undisturbed open spa'ce
rittt tt. Town. The purpose of the acquisition.was
io p"."u"ve the of"n'.p".u for passive and semi-active
recreation for a1i of ihe citizens and visitors of
Vail.
The Vail Town Council has determined that the
most appropriate use for the land is to maintain it
in i.ts natural state. Horvever, they also believe
ii extremely i-mportant to make this unlque parcel
available for Public enjoYment.
To open the Katsos Ranch Park for public- use 'we propos-e to .onstruct a 1t mile path for bikers 'hikers. and. cross is
iding- access . l". lh'
The proposed trail will be an asphalt surface'
LO feei-wide'and 7,29O feet long' It will require
one bridge across Gore Creek. The path will connect
,uitt un existing parh at the west end of the property'
and with residential streets at the east end' During
the winter, the cross country ski trail is maintained
with a ski mobile and track-setter by the Torvn'
3:tl.:l l3:l"t"n ApDlication27 December 1977Page 3
' The path will connect with the federally fundedbike path being constructed over Vail Pass. It isalso being designed in conjunction with hiking andski trails being designed by the United States ForestService in and around the Gore Val1ey. The developmentof this project will permit the expansion and up-grading of the existing ski trai-1.
Several other recreational activi-ties areplanned for the Katsos Ranch slte in addition to thepath. These will be developed over a period ofseveral years; they are being designed to complimentexisting parks. The construction of the path at thistime will not only permit greater public use of theKatsos property, but will permit the residents ofthe Bighorn neighborhood (eastern portion of thevalley) to bike safely to Gerald R. Iord Park, thesoccer fie1d, vo11eyba11 courts, tennis courts, andgolf course. In addition, it will serve as atransportation link for biking commuters during the
surnmer and skiing commuters during the ',vinter.
In keeping with the Town Council's overall goalsto maintain open space and protect the naturalenvironment, the bike/hike/ski path across Katsosis critical to minimizing the impact on the sensitiveenvironment while permitting public use. The pathwill concentrate activities on a paved surface,minimizing the potential problems of erosion anddestruction and of sensitive ecological areas d.ueto unrestrained foot traffic.
2. Description of the Environment
The 146 acre Katsos Ranch property roughtyresembles an elongated rectangle, lying south of,and parallel to, Interstate 70. It is five timeslonger than it is wide--approximately 1.25 mileslong and one-quarter of a mile wide for most of itslength. Gore Creek traverses the property from eastto west. The southern third of the property is
dominated by thickly-forested, steep slopes in excessof 4O percent. Roughly a third of the property
'f,Fn
Town of Va11
#t8:::.,ff ;"#'" APP'ication

(the northern part) lies in the 1OO-year flood. plain.Between these two constraint zones is a thin stiipof land, varying between 100-400 feet in width formost of the 1.25 miles length of property. However,it also has some steep slopes--portions of this thinstrip have 30 percent slopes.
There is a relativeLy flat area of approximately4O acres in the flood plain of the eastern- third ofthe property. It could be considered appropriatefor certain types of recreati.onal improvLments evenconsideri.ng the flood p1ain. However, approximatelyhalf (20 acres) of this relatively flat iiea isoccupied by beaver pond. This beaver pond is asignificant ecological unit in the Gore Valley.
Zones designated as "High Hazard', and "Extreme- Hazard" cover approximately one-half to two-thlrdsof the western half of the property; similarly,hazard zones of this type cover approximately- one-third to one-hal f of the eastern ha1f. A siienear the bottom of the li-mestone cliffs above theproperty has occaslonally released wet flowingavalanches (The Sidewinder Track). Add.itionaily,there have been wet, dry, and powder avalanches-inthe three major gullies which flow into the properry.
Alpine mudflows which involve the movement ofrocks and assorted debris down the steep slopes ofmountainous areas have occurred in the past in theKatsos' three gullies; estimated return flows andgeneral characteristics of the three gullies weredescribed as follows in the McDowerl-smith and lltears'report:
"The Terray debris cone is very unstable and.frequent mudflows should be expected. Typically,they will not flow beyond the trees, but depend_'ing upon the water content and viscosity, sbmemay extend to Gore Creek. The large mudflowson this cone are potentially dangerous to life
Terra

and property and they often exceed the sizeof the Racquet Club mudf1ow."*
20 Years for the Frontage Gully (westernmost)
"Mudflows on the Frontage cone will be smaller
and will cause less damage than those on theTerray cone, but the two chahnels flanking thecone indieate that a large area of the cone
may be affected by mudflows. It is unlikelythat life wi.11 be ende.ngered, but property
damage should be anticipated."'i.
50-100 Years for the Gilkey Gu1ly (middle one)
"The Gilkey debris cone is the least likely toflow of all the sites studied. Nevertheless,a mudflow i-n the prominent channel is very.possible and the large number of dead logsin the channel would cause considerable damageif transported by a mudf1ow."*
Present Uses
The major use of the Katsos property at thepresent time is one of open space. The bike pathis aLready constructed through the western thirdof the property adjacent to the Vail_ Golf Course. Itcrosses Gore Creek over a bicycle bri.dge, and endsshortly thereafter.
The report was quoting from work done by theGeoecology Division of DARI performed through MSC,fnc., Boulder, Colorado,
'G

. There is an existing footpath, developed by usage,for runners and bikers which traverses the property.
The beaver pond serves as a visiting place forNature Centre tours. In the summer of Ig77, morethan 120 people were escorted to the beaver ponds
on guided tours. Observers can walk very near thethree beaver lodges; therefore, they serve as anexcellent teaching example. There are usually aboutsix beavers in this Katsos pond.
In summary, most of the land on the KatsosProperty is uhsuitable for the placement of permanentstructures because of tbe steep slopes, snowavalanches, mudflows, and floods. Similarly, activitiesshould be restricted during periods of high hazatdri-sk--during and after periods of heavy rain, and
-during the spring when the snow cover is beginningto melt.
3. The Environmental Impact of the Proposed Action
An "Alternatives Use Analysis" for Katsos
Ranch Park was conducted by the Town staff incooperation with the John Ryan Company of Dehver,Colorado. A range of activities and their relatedimpacts were reviewed. These included alternativesranging from no development (or access) to theconstruction of an executive nine-ho1e golf course.Based on this study, it rvas determined that the mostappropriate use was 1ow intensity recreationalactiviti-es, particularly a bike/hiking and ski path;also recommended were a jogging trai1, nature trailsaround the Beaver Ponds, and picnic sites.
Primary physical consideration for determiningthat a bike/hike/ski path j.s the most logical
development at this time include:
a. The Katsos property is a vital partof the diminishing open-space systemin the Gore Vallev.

The following potential impacts have beenconsidered in the proposed project:
a. Disturbance to existing vegetation:
The development of a bike/hike/skipath will have some negative impactson existing vegetation. the 1B milepath will be approximately 10 feet wideon the average. It will be necessaryto remove some vegetation, both duringconstruction period and permanently.The location of the path has beenselected to minimize the damage to thevegetation and to avoid extremelysensitive areas that wouLd continueto be threatened by such development.
b. Disturbance to wildlife:
The proposed path will have no negativeimpacts on existing wi1dlife. The mostunique wiLdlife on the property are thesix beavers. Part of the intent on the

proposal is to reduce tbe potential
trattic adiacent to the Beaver Ponds
by concentrating it along the well-
deftned path; this will minimize the
potential problems resulting from
extensive usage of the Park.
There will be some adverse vi-sua1
lmpacts from the construction of an
asptratt path across what is presently
a totally undeveloped site. Ilowever,
due to terrain, it will be seen from
only a few locations on the Interstate
and therefore does not constitute a
problem.
During the construction period, there is
a potential for some silt run-off into
the creek. In addition, there will be
minlmal additional run-off from the
construction of an impervi-ous surface
on the site. Because it i-s a 1ong,
narrow strip of asphalt, rather than a
large concentrated area, there wi-1I be
negligible run-off problems ' There will
be no fertilizers or nutrients used in
landscaping the site and therefore
this will not be a problem.

The construction of a bike, hike,and ski path connecting the easternportion of the Valley with the Villagearea wi-11 result in a" reduction in thevehicle-mi1es in ttre VaffEll---Ttris pathhas the potential to be an i.mportanttransportation route, parti.cularly duringthe summer months (but also i.n the winter)This project will not involve theconstruetion of any parking lots on thesite; therefore, the net result of theproject should be positive in terms ofreducing vehicular traffic.
f. Decreased air quallty;
Based on the reduction of vehiculartraffic, the development of bike, hikeand ski path will have beneficial impacton the air quality in the Gore Va11ey.fhere will be no permanent structuresbuilt on the property; therefore, fire_places witl not be a consid.eration.
h. Increased noise to neighbors:
Twelve residents presently border theKatsos property. There will be infrequentj.ncrease in noise leveIs resulting fromthe construction of the path. (Asfnterstate ZO also borders the sameresi.dential neighborhood, any noiseresulting from use of Katsos will belnsignificant by comparison).
The cultural and social impacts are all consideredpositive from this project. The construction of theconnecting bike, foot, and ski link betiveen Bighornand the Village permits-even encourages_the use ofnon-motorized vehicles for transportation. It willalso encourage enjoyable physical activities bring_ing the citizens closer to ttre beautiful naturalsetting of the park.

Specific impacts resulting from the constructionwill include: some heavy equipment and vehiculartraffic on the slte; some additional run-off and siltin the stream; increased noj.se levels; and generallyunsightly constructlon activities. All of theseimpacts wilL be extremely short in their duration.Th_e project will be constructed during the summerof 1978. None of these impacts will eii.st afterthe completion of the project.
4. Illitigating measures :
As previously stated the negative environmentalimpacts resulting from the construction of the bikepath will be minimal . The primary impacts that musrbe addressed occur during the construction process.Thereafter, the project wiIl result in many-positlvebenefits to the community.
During construction, aI1 equipment will beconfined to a lO-foot corridor upon which the pathwill be located. There are a ferv points at whichsome cut and fi'l1 will be required. fn these areas,a slope of not greater than 30% will be developedand will be immediately seeded with natural grissesand protected with jute mesh. It may be necessaryto develop a settling pond if run-off and silt inthe Gore Creek appear to be problems. This decisionwill not be made until during the constructi.onprocess and the Town's environnental health officerdetermines that a problem exi-sts,
5. Unavoidable adverse environmental effects:
There are no environmental impacts which willhave a negative effect on the community that cannotbe avoided.

It was determined that by taking no action,the last important parcel of open-space in the Va11eywould not have any community use other than viewedfrom the fnterstate.
Constructing a bike route on the highwayfrontage road poses a number of safety and maintenanceproblems. It is also beli.eved that by providing anundesirable path, the interest in using the pathwould not be as great and therefore there would.have lltt1e impact on vehicle traffic. In addition,during the winter months, the frontage road pathwould not serve as a base for the cross country ski.trai1.
Constructing a wood chip running path acrossthe site would a11ow the public to use the property.This would have some different public benefits,.butwould be limited to a small group of the population.
Due to the unavailability of parking at either endof the lt mile long site, it could not serve as ageneral jogging track.
The alternative selected appears to offer thegreatest benefits for the least negative lmpactsto the community and the environment.

VAIL BIKE/HIKE/SKI TRAIL PROPOSAL
PROGRAM NARRATIVE
EXHIBIT NO, 2
Brief Description of this project;
The proposed project is the construction of 1*miles of paved btke/hike/ski path across \46 acreopen-space park owned by the Torvn of Vai1. The pathwill function during the winter as the base for inaintained cross country ski trail. A trail servesas the last major link between the bike and skitrails in the eastern portion of the Va11ey with theVillage and Golf Course neighborhoods. The bike pathwill be approximately lO-feet wide asphalt on gravelbase. The path will serve as the prlmary circulationcorridor providing access into the last largeremaining open-space in the VaIley. Within the park,it will provide for ped.estrian and bicycle use on thewell-defined path, thus minimizing negative impactsfrom hikers over the extremely sensiti-ve environment.The construction of the bike/pedestrian path willrequire one smal1 bridge to cross Gore Creek at theeastern end of the property.
Overhead electric power or telephone lines:
, There presently exists no over head porver ortelephone Iines on the property. The dev-elopmentof this project will involve no such 1ines.
Intended use of pro ect Area and or Faeilities:
The proposed facility will serve as atransportation corridor, a sight_seeing path, anaccess into a major Town park, a cross country skitrail, and hiking trai1. This trai-I will be animportant link connecting existing trails in eastVail with the rest of the Va11ey. The Katsos RanchPark is the primary open-space preserve in the Townof Vail. There is presently no access onto the sire1or is there parking tocated within walking distance.The_ development of the proposed bike/hike/6ki pathwill make the park available to the majority of tte

permanent resj-dents and visitors.
At present, only approxi.mately 2% of the
permanent population in the Va11ey ever enters the
Katsos Ranch Park; (a hiking and iogging trail traverses
the property and is used by lj-mited number of residents).
It is projected that at least 5O7o of the permanent
residents will consistently use the faci.lities in thepark once a bike/hike/ski path is developed. In addition'Vail hosts over 250,000 different tourlsts a year..
It is anticipated that 20,OOO to 40,000 differentvisitors to the Gore Val1ey w111 use Katsos Banch Park
during the year. This rvi1l be primarily a result
of the development of the bike/hike/ski path.
Location of the Property:
The Katsos Ranch Property is located in the Gore
Ya11ey, approximately 3 to 4b miles east of the main
Vail exit on I-70. (See Page ).
Size of Area to be Developed by this Pro;iep!:
The site is approximately 146 acres. The
proposed project rvould develop a 1* blke path
traversing the length of the property.
Distance to nearest similar Facility:
The proposed bike/hike/ski path would connectexisting paths at both the east and west ends of thepark. These paths have been developed and are belng
maintained by the publj-c. They are part of a va11ey-
wide chain connecting both ends of the Gore Valley.
They will also eventually connect with the bike path
developed over Vail Pass as a component of the I-70fnterstate project.

Degree Project will be used by non-residents:
Blking, hiking, and cross country skilng are
extremely popular sports with the non-residents who
visit Vail. The Katsos Ranch Park offers a number of
unique natural features as stated (including a
habitated beaver pond, cliffs, waterfalls, aspengroves, and natural grass meadows). Located only 3miles from the Vail Village area, the naturalcondition of this open-space park will be a popular
visiting area for visitors. As stated above, it isanticipated that in excess of 20,00o visitors per
year (non-residents) will visit the park.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this rePort is provide background information
about development alternatives for a Town of Vail property known as the
Katsos Ranch. The Town's fivs-yglr capital budgetinc requirement
necessitates long-range planning. It is, therefore, appropriate to begin
the decision-making process for the development, or non-deve'lopment'
of this property to enable department heads to plan accordingly.
Limi tations
This report does not assess the entire spectrum of developmental
alternatives. There are scores of possible land uses which are unconsidered
in this report. This report is a first step in the planning process; it
assesses broad categorjes of land use to il'lustrate the kinds of activities
which mjght be selected for the Katsos Property. In this sense' there are
four Iand'use alternatives:

SECTION T. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Katsos Ranch had been used for sheep grazing prior to its
purchase by Vail Associates in the early '1960's. Vail Associates had
planned to develop the property for housing; holever, steep slopes and
a number of natural hazards precluded extensive development on the site.
The prelirninary land use plan finally submitted by Vail Associates contained
the following major land uses:
20.0 qcres for housing, parking, and tennis courts.
2A.'l acres for the Beaver Pond Preserve.
106.0 acres outside the developable area because of steep slopes
and extensive natura'l hazards.
146.1 total acres
The property was purchased by the Town of Vail from Vai'l Associates, Inc.,
for $375,000 in July, 1977. The Town is now in the process of assessing
its possible uses, considering the small amount of developable land outside
of steep slopes and natural hazard areas.
Site Characteristics and Development Constraints
The 146-acre Katsos Ranch lies immediately east of the Vail Golf
Course. The property roughly resemb'l es an elongated rectangle, lying
soutir of, and parallel to, Interstate 70.' It is fjve times'l onger than
it is wide--approximately'l .25 miles long and one-quarter of a mile wide
for most of its length. Gore Creek traverses the property from east to

Present Uses
The major use of the Katsos property at the present time is one
of open space. The bike path is already constructed through the western
third of the property. It crosses Gore Creek over a bicycle bridge,
and ends shortly thereafter. Bicyclists can continue on the Frontage
Road crossing under I-70 to the North Frontage Road toward the Booth
Creek Neighborhood. There is no bridge at the eastern end of the
,.t.r.to.*r, J
Parts of the l4th and l5th holes of the Vail Golf course were
constructed on the western edge of the Katsos Property years ago. There
is an existing footpath, developed by usage, for runners and bikers
which traverses the property. In the winter time, the Town of Vail
maintains a cross-country ski trail through the property.
The.beaver pond serves as a visjting place for Nature Centre tours.
In the summer of 1977, more than 120 peop'l e llere escorted to the beaver
ponds on guided tours. Observers can walk very near the three beaver
Iodges; therefore, they serve as an excellent teaching example. There are
usua'l ly about six beavers in this Katsos pond. The beaver lodges are
connected by channels--walled canals with mud walls carved out and
packed by the beavers to facilitate their rapid travels across the

for protection against the cold. tn itre spring, when the next generation
f_is expectdd, the female stays jn the main lodge; the rest of the family
moves to the auxiliary lodges. Nature Centre Director Mrs. Jackie
Pyka estimated that approximately half of the beaver popu'lation in the
Gore Valley resides in the Katsos pond.
In sunnary, most of the land on the Katsos Property is unsuitab'le
for the placement of permanent structures because of the steep slopes,
snow avalaiiches, mud flows, ana ttool$sim'ilar1y, activities should be
restricted during periods of high hazard risk--during and after periods
of heavy rain, and during the spring when the snow cover is beginning
to melt.

SECTION 2. ALTERNAT;VE LAND USES
This section of the report presents four alternative uses for
the Katsos Property to illustrate the kinds of activ'ities which might
take place on the propert-v and the magnitude of the development impacts'
It has not been the purpose in the selection of these illustrative uses
to preclude from future consideration any other possibjlities. The four
development alternatives jnclude ... No Action, Development for Passive
Recreation, Development for Intensive Recreation, and an Executive
Nine-Hole Golf Course.
Alternative l: No Action
The No Action course simply means that the Town Government would
make no improvements in the property.
Activities. The current act'ivities on the site were summarized in
the previous section: open space, hiking and running trails, and Nature
Centre tours to the beaver Pond.
Development Impacts. Development impacts would be restricted to
increased usage by the present types of users. Access would continue
to be limited; and, therefore, impacts wou'ld be minimal .

Negotiations with the Colorado Oepartment of Highways would have to be
conducted to use their Right-of-Way for 400-500 feet of bike path to
connect with the South Frontage Road at the Bighorn Intersection.
Alternatively, two parcels of Iand imrnediately east of the Katsos
Property might be purchased to facilitate the hookup with the existing
cul-de-sac in Bighorn, and thereby avoid frontage road traffic altogether.
The ten-foot wide bikepath could also serve as an intermittent service
road for municipal vehic'l es. Water and sewer lines would not be extended

Alternative 4: An Executive Golf Course
The'land is unsuitable for a nine-hole extension of the preSent golf
course. Actua11y, parts of the 14th and l5th holes were constructed on
the Katsos Property years ago. They utilize some of the limited amount of
flat land in the western third of the property. The western half of the
property has an extens'ive amount of land with 40 percent slopes--probably
in excess of 80 percent of the surface area. The 'land along the creek is
the most level in this western half; it probably is wide enough to contain
one fairway. llowevelr, going the other way would require traveling--not

Dev.elopment Impacts. Construction of a golf course at the eastern
end of the property would involve a substantial amount of earth moving.
The natural slope of the land is toward the Creek (to the north).
Usually golf,ers do not enjoy playing most of their shots with uphil'l and
downhill lies. Therefore, there would be a tendency to "level" the va'l 1ey
floor for the fairways. However, the changes in the land form caused by
the alternate 1evel ing and building-up associated with constructjon of a
golf course might cause sizeable changes in the flood p'lain. Go'lf ccurse
greens, for examp'le, can act as dams under flooding condit'ions; but when.
they give way, downstream flooding could be worsened. Any golf course
plan should give specia1 attention to the floodplain--both on site as well
as offsite (downstream), and should consider the protection of human
Iife as well as property values.
.
A golf course would require an underground i,rrigation system, and,
of course, a sizeable amount of irrigatien water during the summer.
Linking the ponding and water storage facilitjes both on the Katsos
Property and the King Arthur's Court Property should be studied to insure
an adequate supply of water for al'l of the uses.
This initial assessment wou'ld seem to indicate that an Executive
Nine Hole Golf Course would be a stand-alone operation--located at the
easte'rn end of the Katsos Property with its own parking area, club house,
and supporting facilities.
Automobile access from the east does not exist. Again, vehicu'l ar
access would be greatly facilitated by purchase of the two lots inrnediately
east of the property (approximately eight acres)

. ltlost of the Katsos land is covered with steep slopes and isunsuitable for intensive use.
. There is a significant. wildlife feature represented by the
beaver pond--worthy of preservation.
. The property can play a key role as a transportation corridorfor hikers, runners, and cross-country skiers--particularly in
terms of linking Bighorn to the rest of the Gore Va11ey.

Costs
Development costs for various Iand use alternatives wil'l vary
depending on a variety of factors. A golf course, for example, might
range between $25,000 to $40,000 per hole depending on the layout and
design complexity. An asphalt-paved bike path costs about $9 per linear
foot. Reliable cost estjmates require specifications for particular
activities at designated locations. This report on environmental
considerations has dea'lt w'ith general categories of uses--but for

SECTION 1. EX]STING CONDITIONS
The Katsos Ranch had been used for sheep qrazing prior to its
pUrchase b.y Vail Associates'in the early'l 960's. Vail Assoc'iates

The 146-acre Katsos Ranch lies immediately east of the Vail Golf
Course. The property roughly resembles an e'l ongated rectangle, lying
south of, and paral'l e'l to, Interstate 70. It'is five times longer than
it is w'ide--approximate'ly 1.25 miles 'l ong and one-quarter of a mile wide
for most of jts length, Gore Creek traverses the property from east to
3
west. The southern third of the property is dominated by thickly-forested,
steep slopes in excess of 40 percent. Roughly a third of the property (the
nbrthern part) lies in the .|O0-year flood plain. Between these two constraint
zones is a thin strip of land, varying between .|00-400 feet in width for
most of the 1.25 miles length of property. However, it also has some steep
slopes--portions of this thin strip have 30 percent slopes.
There is a relatively f1 at area of approximately 40 acres in the
fllood plainofthe eastern third of the property. It could be considered
appropriate for certain types of recreational improvements even considering
the flood p1ain, However, approximately half (20 acres) of this relatively
flat area is occup'ied by a beaver pond. This beaver pond is a significant
ecological unit in the Gore Va1ley, as described more fully in the next
sect'i on.
In 1974-75 when Vail Associates was preparing a development plan for
the Katsos Ranch, it retained consultants to assess aval anche hazards on
the Katsos Ranch. A report was prepared at that time* which identified
three major gullies, spaced somewhat evenly over the Katsos Property;
they are named (from east to west) ... Terray Gu11y, Gilkey Gully, and
Frontage Gully. See Exhibit No. l.
Avalanches and Mudflows
Zones designated as "High Hazard" and "Extreme Hazard" cover approximately
one-half to two-thirds of the western half of the property; similarly,
hazard zones of this type cover approximately one-third to one-half of the
eastern half. A site near the bottom of the limestone cliffs above the

property has occasionally re'l eased wet flowing avalanches (The Sidewinder
Track). Additionally, there have been wet, dry, and powder avalanches in
the three major gullies which flow into the property.
Alpine mudflows which involve the movement of rocks and assorted
debris down the steep slopes of mountainous areas have occurred in the
past in the Katsos'three gullies; estimated return flows and general
characteristics of the three gullies were described as follows
in the McDowell-Smith and Mears' report:

* The report was quoting from work done by the Geoecology Division of
DARI performed through MSC, Inc., Boulder, Colorado.
Detailed planning should obviously incorporate the findings and
recormendations of the McDowell-Smith and Mears report.
Present Uses
The major use of the Katsos property at the present time is one
of open space. The bike path is already constructed through the western
third of the property. It crosses Gore Creek over a bicycle bridge,
and ends shortly thereafter. Bicyclists can continue on the Frontage
Road crossing under I-70 to the North Frontage Road toward the Booth
Creek Neighborhood. There is no bridge at the eastern end of the
property.
' Parts of the l4th and l5th holes of the Vail Golf course were
constructed on the western edge of the Katsos Property years ago' There
is an existing footpath, developed by usage, for runners and bikers
which traverses the property. In the winter time, the Town of Vail
maintains a cross-country ski trail through the property.
The beaver pond serves as a visiting place for Nature Centre tours.
In the surnmer of 1977, more than 120 people were escortbd to the beaver
ponds on guided tours. 0bservers can walk very near the three beaver
lodges; therefore, they serve as an excellent teach'ing example. There are
usual'ly about six beavers in this Katsos pond. The beaver lodges are
connected by channels--walled canals with mud walls carved out and
packed by the beavers to facilitate their rap'id travels across the pond.
During winter, a lodge usua'l )y contains the parents, the t$ro kits iust
born the previous spring, and the kits from the year before--all together
for protection against the cold. In the spring, when the next generation
is expected, the female stays in the main 'lodge; the rest of the family
moves to the auxjfiary 'lodges. Nature Centre Director l'lrs. Jackie
Pyka estimated that approximately half of the beaver population in the
Gore Valley resides in the Katsos pond.
***
In surmary, most of the land on the Katsos Property is unsuitable
for the pidcement of pennanent structures because of the steep slopes,
snow avalanches,,:mud flows, and floods. Similarly' activities shou'ld be
restrjcted during periods of high hazard risk--during and after peiiods
of heavy rain, and during the spring when the snow cover is beginning
I
to melt.
SECTION 2. ALTERNATIVE LAND USES
This section of the report presents four alternative uses for
the Katsos Property to illustrate the kinds of activities which might
take place on the property and the magnitude of the development impacts.
It has not been the purpose in the select'ion of theseillustrat'i ve uses
to preclude from future consideration any other possibjlities. The four
development alternatives jnclude ... No Action, Development for Passjve
Recreation, Development for Intensjve Recreation, and an Executive
Nine-Hole Golf Course.
Alternative l: No Action
The No Action course simply means that the Town Government would
make no improvements in the property.
Activities. The current activities on the site were summarized in
the previous section: open space, hiking and running trails, and Nature
Centre tours to the beaver Pond.
Development Impacts. Development impacts would be restricted to
increased usage by the present types of users. Access would continue
to be limited; and, therefore, impacts would be minimal .
Alternative 2: Passive Recreation
Development for "passive recreatjon" means a very moderate set of
improvements. It is defjned as the opposite of intensive development
for recreation (the next alternative in this report).
Activities. Specifical ly, for purposes of this report, development
for Passive Recreation would include the following facilities (see
Exhibit No. 2):
. An asphalt-covered bike trail.
. An improved, bark running track.
. A parcours variation with either one (or both) of the above--stations a'l ong the trajl for designated calisthenics.
. Cross-country skiing. trail.
. Pjcnic tables for walk-ins in the summer; and a special
winter picnic area as a terminus for cross-country skiers.
. An improved walk-way (probably boards) in and around the beaver
pond with interpretive signage.
Deve'l opment Impacts. Extending the bike trail a'l I the way through
the property will necessitate another bridge over Gore Creek at the
eastern end of the property. The propert.y on the other (north) side
of Gore Creek at the eastern end is I-70 Right-of-Way; there is no
Frontage Road on the south side of the interstate highway at this point.
Negotiations with the Colorado Department of Highways would have to be
conducted to use their Right-of-Way for 400-500 feet of b'ike path to
connect with the South Frontage Road at the Bighorn Intersection.
Alternatjvely, two parceis of land immediately east of the Katsos
Property might be purchased to facilitate the hookup with the existing
cul-de-sac in Bighorn, and thereby avoid frontage road traffic a1 together.
The ten-foot wide b'ikepath could also serve as an intermittent serv.ice
road for municipal vehic'l es. Water and sewer lines would not be extended

into the property. Limited parking on the roadside north of Gore Creek
could be made available for the picnickers, walkers, and runners. However,
vehicular access by the public should not be allowed under this development
p'l an.

Development Impacts. Major development impacts under this alternative
would include the construction of a road across the property and two new
bridges. A more extensive parking area would need to be developed--

probably at the eastern end of the Katsos Property. Acquisition of
addjtional adjoining property at the eastern end of the Katsos Property
would greatly facilitate vehicular access. A water ljne could be
extended from the Booth Creek Area underneath the Interstate and made
available to the recreation area. A sewer line already traverses the
property; several hookups could be made for public restrooms. More
picnic tables could be developed; they would be accessible by automobile.
All of the impacts associated with the running path, bike path, and walk- "
way around the beaver pond would be repeated under this alternatjve.
Alternative 4: An Executive Golf Course
The land is unsuitable for a nine-hole extension of the present golf
course. Actually, parts of the l4th and l5th holes were constructed on
the Katsos Property years ago. They utilize some of the limited amount of
flat land in the western third of the property. The western ha1 f of the
property has an extensive amount of land with 40 percent slopes--probably
in excess of 80 percent of the surface area. The land a1 ong the Creek is
the most level in this western half; it probably is wide enough to contain
one fairway. However, going the ot,her way would require traveling--not
playing--for almost a thousand yards, iust to move through this narrow
stretch.
Activities. As shown in Exhibit No. 4, there are approximately
40-45 acres of relatively flat
not covered by the beaver pond.

Development Impacts. construction of a golf course at the eastern
end of the property would involve a substantial amount of earth moving.
The natural slope of the land is toward the Creek (to tfre north)'
Usual]y golfers do not enjoy playing most of their shots w'i th uphill and
downhill lies. Therefore, there would be a tendency to "'level" the va1 1ey
floor for the fairways. However, the changes in the land form caused by
the alternate leveling and bu'i lding-up associated with construction of a
golf course might cause sjzeable changes jn the flood plain. Gol f course
greens, for example, can act as dams under flooding conditions; but when
they give way, downstream floodjng could be worsened. Any golf course
plan should give special attention to the floodplain--both on site as well
as offsite (downstream), and should consider the protection of human
life as well as property values.
A golf course would require an underground irrigation system, and,
of course, a sizeable amount of imigation water during the summer.
Linking the ponding and water storage facilities both on the Katsos
Property and the K'i ng Arthur's Court Property should be studied to'insure
an adequate supply of water for all of the uses.
This initial assessment would seem to indicate that an Executive
Nine Hole Golf Course would be a stand-alone operation--located at the
eastern end of the Katsos Property with its own parking area, club house'
and supporting faci'l ities.
Automobile access from the east does not exist. Again, vehicular
access would be greatly faci'litated by purchase of the two lots immed'i ately
east of the property (approx'imately eight acres).
Many of the activities associated with the previous alternat'i ves
to

could be compatible with the golf course--biking, running, etc. However'
congregations of people next to a golf course can be dangerous. Picnjc
tablesandathletic fields would probably be found to be incompatible

SECTION 3. SUMMARY OF PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
This section of the report attempts to summarize major planning
considerations in terms of physical concerns, user groups, and costs.
Physical Consi derations
The Katsos Property is a vital part of the diminishing open
space system in the Gore Vai ley.
Most of the Katsos land is in a natural hazard zone--avalanche,
mudflow, and floodp'l ain. Appropriate precautions are mandatory.
Most of the Katsos land is covered with steep slopes and is
unsuitable for intensive use.
There is a s'ignificant wildlife feature represented by the
beaver pond--worthy of preservat'ion.
The property can pl ay a key role as a transportation corridorfor hikers, runners, and cross-country skiers--particularly in
terms of linking Bighorn to the rest of the Gore Va'l'l ey.
Acquisition of the adjoining property to the east wou'l d great'ly
enhance access necessary for the golf course and the intensive
recreation al ternati ves.
User Groups
This project has not attempted to measure the potential demand for
the various activjties outljned under the several alternative developments.
That assessment might be appropriate to establish priorities. But clearly,
there is a sizeable demand for all of the activities--cross-country
skiing, bicyl ing, running, picnicking, golfing, nature hikes, and organized
sports. Selectjon of a development alternative should consider the total
requirements of these various user groups throughout the Gore Val 1ey; and
then consider how development of the Katsos Property would fit in with the
overall plan.
i8
Costs
Deve'lopment costs for various land use alternatives will vary
depending on a variety of factors. A golf course, for example, might
range between $25,000 to $40,000 per hole depending on the layout and
design complexity. An asphalt-paved bike path costs about $9 per linear
foot. Reliable cost estimates require specifications for particular
activities at designated locations. This report on environmental
considerations has dealt with general categories of uses--but for
talking purposes some ballpark cost estimates m'ight be helpful ,..
$ O Alternative No. I -- No Action. 1
$ 70,000 - $.|00,00b Alternative no. 2'-- Passive Recreation. - 'I '.' "

$470,000 - $700,000 Alternative No. 4 -- Golf Course and and
tra'i1 system.
It should be re-emphasized that a great deal of planning and engineering
wil'l be requiied before meaningful cost estimates are available.
Hopefuly, this repov:t will serve as a starting point in selecting a .-:.
land use alternative for the Katsos Ranch.

Action Reouested of Council: Approwdeny the request.
Backoround Rationale: Nervt Wheatley, local Vail resident, was
kilfed in an accident in 1992. His family and friends would like to
establish a memorial on the Katsos Ranch property. As Newt was
an avid ice climber, fie proposed location, which is adjacent to a
very popular climbing area, is of special importance. The group
intends to pay for all services which TOV may perform and also
establish an endowment for the long term maintenance. The
memorial would be located on an existing rock in the meadow
adjac€nt to the bike path. A red granite rock will be set on the
existing rock and a plaque would be attached to il Staff has
reviewed the application and feels that there would be no adverse
impacts on the area as a result of the installation.
