Attn: Jeff Bellen
Dear Mr. Bellen:
Location: I-70 frontage road, Town of Vail
Re: Vacant land lease - parking
CDOT's Region 3 Office is requesting your approval of a vacant land lease agreement between the
Colorado Department of Transportation and the Town of Vail. The subject areas are located in the non -
travel lanes of the I-70 frontage road in the Town of Vail. This is a nominal lease, and the Town will not
charge for parking when the areas are utilized. The areas may only be utilized for a maximum of sixty
days per calendar year during the term of the lease.
The areas have been leased by the Town for overflow parking for the past fourteen years. Per the terms of
the lease, no parking shall be allowed in any area within the 1-70 clear zone. Additionally, no parking
shall be allowed in any area that lacks sufficient shoulder width to allow a parked vehicle to be located
completely out of any adjacent travel lane and which does not provide adequate protections to pedestrians
from moving vehicles.
The Region seeks your concurrence in granting this request and presents the following facts supporting
this request:
1. The right of way and specific property rights being retained are adequate under present day
standards for the facility involved;
2. Allowing this lease will not adversely affect the Federal -Aid facility or the traffic thereon;
3. This requested lease is on the National Highway System as adopted by FHWA on October 7,
1993;
I have attached a copy of the lease, an aerial depiction of the subject areas, and CatEx. Please let
me know if you need any additional information that may assist you.
Sincerely, FHWA Approval
