August 14,2006
A request for a final review of a floodplain modilication, pursuant to
Chapter 14-6, Grading Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow for grading
within the Gore Creek 10O-year floodplain, lo install public ulilities, located
on an unplatted parcel of land directly west of Wesl Foresl Road (a more
complete location description is available at the Town of Vail Department
of Community Development). (PEC06-0052)
Applicant: Eagle River Waler and Sanitation DistrictPlanner: Bill Glbson

SUMMARY
The applicant, Town of Vail, is requesting approval of a floodplain modification,
pursuant to Chapter 14-6, Grading Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow for
grading within the Gore Creek 100-year floodplain, to install public utilities,
located on an unplatted parcel of land directly west of West Forest Road and
setting forth details in regard thereto.
Based upon Staff's review ol the criteria in Section Vl of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presenled, the Community Development Deparlment
recommends that the Planning and Environmental Commission approves, with
conditions, the requested floodplain modification, subject to the findings noted in
Section Vll of this memorandum.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD), is requesting
approval of a floodplain modificalion request, pursuant lo Chapter 14-6, Grading
Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow for lhe stabilization of the Gore Creek
stream bank and modifications to the Town of Vail White Waler Park, in the Gore
Creek lloodplain, located at Tract l, Block 5E, Vail Village Filing 1, (generally
located east of the International Bridge on Willow Bridge Road). A vicinity map
has been attached for reference (Altachment A).
The applicant is proposing to install a 116 foot segment of new sanitary sewer
line to connect to existing lines. The installation of this new sewer line segment,
and an additional manhole, will increase the capacity of the ERWSD's sanitary
sewer service. This new sanitary sewer line will be located within lhe western
portion of the West Forest Road Right-of-Way (owned by the Town of Vail), a
small portion of 816 Wesl Forest Road (owned by Vail Resorts), and an unplalted
portion of the Gore Creek stream corridor (owned by the Town of Vail).
lt l.
tv.
V.
A 33 foot long portion of the proposed sanitary sewer line will be installed below
grade within the Gore Creek 1O0-year floodplain. Up 1o 800 sq. ft. of floodplain
area could be disturbed due to the construction of this new line. While a portion
ot this construclion is located within the 1O0-year floodplain, the proposed
construction disturbance area is not located within the current Gore Creek live
water channel. Since the Gore Creek water levels hislorically continue to
lowering into the fall months, lhe applicant does not anticipate this construction
will have any direct impact on live waters and no temporary diversion of the creek
will be necessary.
Once installation of the proposed sewer line has been completed, the applicant is
proposing lo restore the existing, natural topography and the native vegetation of
any disturbed areas. Therelore, there will be no permanent modification to the
Gore Creek 100-year floodplain. The applicant's request (Attachment B), the
proposed engineering drawings (Attachment C), and site photographs
(Atlachment D) have been attached for reference.
The Town of Vail Floodplain Coordinator has reviewed this proposal and
determined that it conforms with the technical requirements of the Vail Town
Code (Attachment H).
BACKGROUND
On August 1,2006, the Vail Town Council granted an easement to the Eagle
River Water and Sanitation District to allow for the construction of this project. A
descriplion of that easement has been attached for reference (Attachment E).

Regional Conditions for Revocations Specific to Certain Geographic Areas
e. Ee&s ln cotorado, nationwide permits No' 1,2,4,6.1,|,13-19,21-25' 28-31, 33.36, and 39.44
are revoked for activities in these regionally important aquatic resources'.. Fens are defined as wetlands
which are characterized by water logged spongy ground and contain (in all
or Dart) soils classified as histosols.;r minerai soils with a histic epipedon'. To determine whether this
;;ffi;;;G, the entire wettand must be o<amined for the presence of histosots or histic epipedons-
.Histosols have 40 centimeters (16 inches) or more of the upper 80 centimeters (32 inches) an organic soil
material (or less over bedrock). Organic soil material has an organic carbon content (by weight) of 12 to
1g percent, or more, oepending ori ihe ctay content ofthe soil. Histic epipedons have a 20 to 60
centimeter-thick (8-24 incnes)-organic soil horizon that is at or near the surface of a mineral soil' Histosols
and histic epipedons are wiOety tognizeO as organic soils formed by slow accumulation of plant debris in
waterlogged situations wher" ii ".nnit

ADOITTOML INFORMATION
2. The follorving provides addiuonal information regarding minimizaton of impacts and compliance with
o<isting general Conditions:
a. permittees are reminded of the existing General Condition No. 18 which prohibits the use of
unsuitable material Organic debris, building wastq asphalt, car bodies, and junk materials are not
suitable material. Also, General Condi[on No. 3 requhes aPpropriate erosion and sediment controts (i.e.
all fills must be properly stabilized to prwent ergsion and siltation into waters and wetlands). Streambed
materiaf or other small aggregate rhaterial placed alone for bank stabilization will not meet General
Condition No. 3.
b. permittees are encouraged to mitigate project impacts prior to or conc{nent with projec-t
construction. This issue continues to bi a concem and the Gorps prefers at this time to request that
nationwide permit notification submittals eryjlicitly address prior to or concunent mitigation orthe reasons
why mitigation cannot occrr prior to or concdnent with ptoject construction.

grading application. The permit should be accompianied by a letter from ERWSD stating that a
pre-construction and post construc{ion survey will be provided to the Town showing no change in finish
grade has occured and therefore there is no impact to the 100 n floodplain. All ACOE and DOW permib

RE: Vent Screen Wall
Dear Linn,
Per our discussion, the Town of Vail will not require the installation of a screen wall for the new
vent on the southwest corner of the Vail Wastewater Treatment Plant building, provided the vent
and associated equipment are painted with a neutral-colored paint.
Also, pursuant to previous Design Review Board conditions of approval for various
improvements to this building, all exposed wall vents and mechanical equipment must be
painted to match the adjacent exterior walls and all roof-top vents and mechanical equipment
must be painted a neutral-color.
lf you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly at (970) 479-
2173.

Subject: Vail Wastewater Treatment Plant Vent Screen
Dear Bill:
Thank you for meeting me on site to discuss the screening of the new vent on the
southwest corner of the roof at the Vail Wastewater Treatment Plant building. The Town
of Vail approved a screen around this new vent that was installed last week. It is the
District staff s opinion that the screen results in a greater visual impact than the vent
itself. The Eagle River Water & Sanitation District requests permission to remove the
screen and to mitigate the visual impact of the vent by the use of neutral-colored paint. In
addition, per your recommendation, I will be looking into painting the other venting
appurtenances on the roof.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our site and work through this visual impact issue
with us. If you need additional information, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
n

WATER QUALITY MONITORING PLAN
UTILIZING SAMPLING STATIONS
In order to meet more stringent regulatory requirements for monitoring the
public water supply, the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District is
developing a water quality-monitoring plan that incorporates the use of
sampling stations for the following reasons:
l. The use of dedicated stations provides for a more representative
sample of the water delivered to the public.
2. Sampling stations reduce the overall cost of collecting samples.
3. Allows the District to assess the impact that the distribution system
has on our water quality and meet Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) distribution monitoring requirements.
4. More effectively allows the District to meet new regulatory
requirements for Disinfectant and Disinfections By-Products (DDBP).
5. Identifies the presence of unintentional or intentionally introduced
contaminants.
6. Identifies other potential problems including microbial growth, cross-
connection and backflow, contamination during infrastructure repair,
and corrosion and aging infrasffucture.

Town of Vail

Vail, CO 81657
RE: DRB Application for ERWSD Parking Lot
Dear Bill:
As pcr our discussion earlier this week, enclosed is a DRB application to improve an
existing parking lot at the ERWSD plant. As you know, the location of the parking lot is
on the "Old Town Shops" site immediately rvest of the water ireatment plant. The
following summarizes the major aspects of this project.
Relationship to the Snowcat Bridse/Snowmaking Vault
The parking lot is essentially an extension of approved improvements cunently under
construction (snowcat bridge, snowmaking rntake structure, ctc.). The parking lot was
anticipated in the design of these improvements, i.e. the drainage plan for the vault
anticipated this impervious area, the parking lot drainage will be tied into the new
oil/sand separator, etc. Approved plans for these improvements currently under
construction are on file in your office. Lel ine know if you need additional copies relatcd
to the parking lot project.
Use ofLot
The District is no longer considering "public" use of this lot. As such, a conditional usc
permit is not necessary. The lot is considered an interim use until such time thc plant
expansion project begins. In lieu of leaving an Lrnsiglrtly gravel lot in place until the
expansion plan is implemented, the District would likr-- to improve the lot witlr paving,
lighting and landscaping. It is anticipated that ,ire lot rvould be used by District vehicles
and overflow parking for District employees.
Submittal Materials
The following material is provided rvith this application:

Post Off ce Box 2558 \^,n,^w.lraunassoc ates.com
Edwards, Colcrado 8 I 532
' Cul sheet of exterior lighting fixture
I believe the District submitted a DRB fee for the plant expansion and this application
was subsequently dropped. Unless we hear otherwise from you, we will assume that the
previously paid DRB fee will cover this application.
As this project is an extension ofthe previously approved plans for the bridge and vault, I
have not provided information relative to items previously addressed and approved, i.e.
driveway grade, stamped suryey, utility locates, etc. Let me know if you need this or
other information.
Development Standards
There is no significant change to the development standards for the property. The
following is a summary of relevant development statistics:
Lot area-2.023 acres, or 88,121 sq. ft.
Site Coverage - 32,880 sq. ft. or 37.3Yo
Other Impervious surfaces - 30,560, or 34.6Yo
Landscape Area - 25,489 sq. ft., or 28Yo
Setbacks - varies from 5' to 157'
Parkin g Lot Landscapins
The proposed parking lot is 10,771 square feet is size (this area does not include the
driveway or the paved area approved in conjunction with the vault and bridge). The
interior parking lot landscaping is I ,260 square feet, or 10.5%o of the paved area. A
minimum l0' landscaped buffer is provided on the north and west sides of the lot. The
parking lot abuts the plant on the east and as such there is no landscaped buffer on this
side. On the south side the sheambank will be heavily landscaped as a part of the
bridgeivault project. This landscaping, while not directly contiguous to the parking lot,
effectively provides a buffer on the south side ofthe lot.
Let me know if there is anything else you need to facilitate the DRB review ofthis
proposal. I greatly appreciate you getting us on the Board's agenda on the 15ft.
Sincerely,
Thomas A. Bram. AICP

FLOODLIGHTS:
'The beam spread ofa floodlight is defined as the angle, measured in degrees, between points on a candlepower distribution
curve which are l0% of the average maximum candlepower." The beams are defined by the National Electrical Association in
the chart below.
NEIIIATYPB BEAMSPREAD:
(in degrees)
I l0to 18
2 l8to29
3 29to46
4 46ta70
5 70to 100
6 l00to 130
7 I30 and up
For floodlights that are not a circular pattern: The NEMA numbers may indicate the 'H" horizontal rvidth and the "V" vertical
width of the beam. Example: 5H x lV - Type 5 Horizontal and Type I Vertical indicates that the beam is horizontally wide
[between 70 and 100 deg] and vertically narrow I benveen 10 and 18 degrees].
NOTE: ilAGNtL(X)D DOES NOT recommend the lflo of maximum beam thcory for guality cngircered la)'outs, tarhcr 50'lo of
maximum bcam should be used- Uniformity gives dre besr lighting results. alhough intensity should also be a consideration flO% of
maximum bcam candlepou,er is a perce*age recommended by drc llluminaaing Engiaccring Socicty-]

Subject: Boulder Slope Analysis and
Geotechnical Recommendations, Vail Road
Water Main Prolect, Vail, Colorado
Job Number 07-6514
Mr. Jim Boyd
Eagle River Water and Sanitation District
846 Forest Road
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Mr. Boyd,
As requested, Ground Engineering Consultants, Inc. (GROUND) performed slope
stability analysis for the proposed boulder slope to be constructed at the Gore Creek
waterline crossing adjacent to Beaver Dam Road and the Chapel Bridge for the Vail
Road Water Main project located in Vail, Colorado. This report presents the result of
the slope stability analysis, and provides geotechnical recommendations for the
proposed conslruction.
Proposed Gonstruction
GROUND was provided with Wall Detail Plan, Sheet No. Cl.4, prepared by Peak Land
Consuflants, lnc., dated September 14,2007, which also contained the proposed
grading for the boulder slope. Based on GROUND's recommendations, the plan
indicates that the proposed projec't will consist of the construction of a 1 (H) to 1 (V)
boulder slope for twelve (12) vertical feet, and a 2 (H) to 1 (V) slope for four (4) vertical
feet above the boulder slope, io match the existing top-of-slope. The proposed slope is
being constructed in conjunction with the installation of a 12-inch water main that
crosses Gore Creek. The proposed length of the boulder slope is approximately 15
feet.
Anticipated Subsurface Gonditiong
Based on our observations of the subsurface conditions exposed in the cut on the
opposite bank of Gore Creek, laboralory data of a sample of the on-site soil, and our
experience in the area, we anticipate that the on-site soil will typically consist of silty to
clayey sand, with gravels, cobbles, and occasional boulders. We understand that the

1O0-year event elevation associated with Gore Creek is appfoximately 8, 145 to 8,146
feet.
Slope Stabilitv Analvsis
Based on the limited available geotechnical data and the provided informalion, the
estimated soil parameters used in the slope stability analysis are summarized below.
The slope stability analysis soil paramelers should be verified during construction.

Global slope stability analysis was performed on a typical cross section of the boulder
slope, with a total slope height of approximately 16 feel. A groundwater elevation of
8,144 feet was used in the analysis, representing the maximum anticipated elevation of
seepage into the subsurface soils from a high water event. The Morgenstern-Price
Method was used in the limit equilibrium analysis. A minimum factor of safety of 1.5 for
global stability was used for the analysis The result of the global stability analysis is
presented in Figure 1.
Boulder Slope Recommendations
(1) B€sed on the provided information, available_ geotechnical data, necessary
assumptions, and result of the slope stability analysis, details of the boulder slope
including minimum toe embedment and filter fabric are presented in Figure 2.
(2) The existing underground utilities must be verified prior to the temporary slope
excavation.
(3) The boulder slope should be constructed to a minimum boulder base width of 5
feet, and minimum toe embedment of 1 foot. The toe protection should be
evaluated by the Hydraulic or Civil Engineer.

The temporary slope shall be constructed no steeper than a 1(H) to 1 (V) up to 16
feet high. Temporary excavations must comply with all OSHA Standards and
Regulations
Slope subgrade materials should be processed to at least 12 inches below the
bottom of the boulders, and compacted to al least 95 percent of the maximum
modified Proctor density (ASTM D-1557) at moisture contents within 2 percent of
the oplimum.
In the event that the bottom of slope excavation exposes loose, soft, or otherwise
deleterious material, the material should be removed and replaced with suitable
on-site soil.
(7) A layer of filter fabric (Mirafi 140N or equivalent) should be placed on the
excavation slope face prior to boulder placement to avoid loss of in-place
embankment soil. The filter fabric should be keyed into soils at 12 inches deep at
both the top and bottom of the boulder slope.
(8) Boulders 5 to 6 feet in diameter should be selected and placed in the lower 6 feet
of the slope. Boulders 2 to 4 feet in diameter should be placed in the upper 6 feet
of the slope. Where possible, boulder placement and construction should be
planned and executed to avoid damaging existing trees.
(9) Placement of boulders should not exceed a 1 (H) to 1 (V) slope, and construction
of the slope above the boulders should not exceed a 2 (H) to 1 (V) slope.
(10) The voids between the boulders should be filled with 8 to 12 inch diameter rip-rap,
with srnaller voids filled with seeded, on-site soil.
(11) The boulders should be carefully stacked with a mixture of various sizes to
minimize voids and provide maximum surface contact area between boulders.
(12) On-site slope backfill should be free from organic or deleterious material and have
a minimum friction angle of 38 degrees. lnternal friction angle of the slope backfill
material should be verified prior to slope construction.
(13) On-site slope backfill shall be placed in uniform loose lifts not exceeding 8 inches,
and compacted to at least g5 percent of the maximum modified Proctor density
(ASTM D-1557) at moisture contents within 2 percent of the optimum.
(14) The temporary slope and the surrounding areas must be kept dry at all times
during the construction to prevent water from affecting slope stability. In no case

shall surface runoff be allowed to enter lhe temporary slope area, or water be
allowed to pond around the slope.
(15) GROUND should be scheduled to periodically observe the slope excavation, and
slope construction, and periodically perform testing during the backfill placement.
Closure
Slope stability analysis and recommendations provided herein were developed based on
the provided information, limited available geotechnical data, and necessary
assumptions. Actual conditions exposed during construction may be anticipated to
differ, somewhal, from those described above. lf during construction, surface, soil,
bedrock, or groundwater conditions appear to be at variance with those described
above, GROUND should be advised at once, so that re-evaluation of the slope stability
and recommendations may be made in a timely manner.
This report was prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical
engineering practice in Eagle County areas of Colorado at the date of preparation.
GROUND makes no warranlies, either expressed or implied. as to the professional data,
design or recommendations contained herein. GROUND is not responsible for the
variations in the actual surface conditions, subsurface condilions. and grades at lhe site.
lf you have any questions, please contacl our office.

RE: Easement for Snow Makine Intake
Dear George:
As you are probably aware, Vail Resorts needs easements from the Torvn of Vail for the
snowcat access and for drainage and snowmaking intake improvements along Gore
Creek. While it is apparent that outstanding issues may prevent the Town from
considering granting an easement for the sno*'cat access road, VR is still in need ofan
easement in order to construct the new snowmaking vault and intake structure. Attached
you will find an easement agreement and exhibit depicting this easement.
The requested easement area is 1,404 square feet in size, within which will be located a
new concrete intake structure for the mountain's snowmaking system. This improvement
will replace an existing intake pipe located within Gore Creek. [n addition, storm sewer
improvements (including new sand/oil separators) will be installed. The storm pipe rvill
outlet within the proposed easement area. This pipe replaces an existing storm sewer
pipe (to be removed) in this same area. In order to better understand proposed
improvements and existing conditions, I have attached copies of approved plans for the
vault and irrtake structures.
The vault, lrridge and snowcat access road were previorrsly submitted as one project. As
we discussed this morning, due to delays related to the snowcat access, rve will likely be
separating the projects and submitting building permit applications for just the vault and
drainage improvements. As such, your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly
appreciated. Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide. Thank
you for your help, it is greatly appreciated.

RE: Snow Cat Bridge and Snow Making Intake Hydraulic Evaluation
Dear Tom:
Pursuant to our telephone discussions and email correspondence, please find enclosed the
final Gore Creek Floodplain Evaluation for the Glen Lyon Snow Cat Bridge and Vail
Mountain Snorvmaking Intake Area.
This report documents the results of our analysis of post-project floodplain impacts based
upon an as-built survey of Gore Creek channel cross-sections through the area affected
by the project. Based upon this hydraulic analysis, it is my opinion that the project was
constructed in a manner that rvill not result in adverse floodplain impacts or adverse
impacts to upstream, downstream or adjacent properties. It is my understanding that this
report meets the Town of Vail's floodplain related regulatory requirements for this
proj ect.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional
information.

GORE CREEK FLOODPLAIN EVALUATION
GLEN LYON SNOW CAT BRIDGE AND VAIL MOUNTAIN
SNOWMAKING INTAKE AREA
April 13,2005
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
During the summer and fall of 2004,Vail Associates, Inc. completed construction ofthe
Glen Lyon Snowcat Bridge which crosses Gore Creek about 250 feet upstream ofthe
confluence of Red Sandstone Creek in Vail. The construction work associated with this
project consisted of four major components: 1) removal of the existing snowmaking
diversion and pumphouse; 2) construction of the snow cat bridge; 3) construction of the
new snowmakiag intake and pumphouse; and 4) replacement of a stormwater oufall
structure. In addition, it was necessary to remove and relocate the USGS Gag-g Station
OSGS 09066:325 Gore Creek above Red Sandstone Creek at Vail, CO) because the data
recorder and telemetry equipment was housed in the purnphouse.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Town of Vail Plaiming and Environmental
Commission @EC) and section l2-21-l0B of the Vail Town Code, Hydrosphere
Resource Consultants, Inc. conducted an analysis ofpotential floodplain impacts
associated with the proposed project. (See letter dated May 27,2004 from Doug Laiho to
Gregg Barrie.) The Hydrosphere floodplain analysis evaluated the potential impacts of
the $now cat bridge, the snowmaking intake and the stormwater outfatl facilities but did
not specifically address potential impacts associated with relocation of the USGS gage
(USGS 09066325 Gore Creek above Red Sandstone Creek, at Vail, CO). The purpose of
this follow-up floodplain evaluation is to address potential floodplain impacts under
actual as-built conditions in the strea- reach affected by the project.
The prb-construction evaluation was based upon analysis of the proposed improvements
using the 1978 IJF,C-2 hydraulic model that was the basis for the tlen effective Flood
Insurance Study (dated November 2, 1982). This analysis indicated that onJy the
snowmaking intake facility and the stormwater outfall u'ould be located wifhin the 100-
year floodplain. Five new stream channel cross sections \4€re surveyed in this reach at
locations that would be impacted by new facilities in order to document the pre-
construction conditions. This information was used to evaluate the proposed
improvements and implement design modifications for the snowmaking intake to
demonstrate that there would be no be no net change in channsl geometry and therefore
no change in flood elevations or velocities. The storm sewer replacement was
docnmented as having no floodplain impact by producing no measurable deviation in the
channel geometry.

Removal and relocation of the gaging station was conducted under the direction of the
USGS and was not expected to result in any change in the configuration of the stream
channel. However, when the USGS replaced the gaging station, the rock weir that was
located below the old gage was partially removed and a new rock weir was placed in the
channel just upstream from the intake structure.
The post-construction evaluation of floodplain impacts associated with the project
focuses on the reach of Gore Creek located between the downstream side of the new
Snow Cat Bridge, upstream to the downstream side of the existing TOV recreation path
bridge. In order to fully evaluate the impact on flood characteristics upstream and
downstream ofthe impacted reach, a longer reach ofCreek located betweenjust
downstream ofthe Red Sandstone Creek confluence, upstream to 100 feet upstream of
the Forest Road bridge is described in this evaluation.
POST.CONSTRUCTION ANALYSIS
Following the completion of project construction, an as-constnrcted survey was
performed that included re-surveying the same five cross sections that were used for the
pre-construction floodplain impact analysis. The results of comparison of the pre- and
post-construction surveyed cross sections and photographs are summarized below.
Please refer to the attached map and table for the cross section locations discussed in this
narrative.
o Essentially no change in channel geometry at cross sections 144.01 located
downstream of the Snow Cat Bridge and formerly described as Section I and
145.02 located downstream of the TOV recreation path bridge and formerly
described as Section 5.
n Examination of before and after construction photographs of the area below
the bridge revealed that the cross section 144.015 had been modified by
removal of several large instream boulders. This effectively eliminated the
old weir as a hydraulic control.
o Cross section 144.02 located upstream of the Snow Cat Bridge and formerly
described as Section 2,had at unexpected increase in bank slope grade on the
right side only. Examination of before and after construction pictures
revealed that this grade increase was likely due to bridge construction related
fill and landscaping.
tr Cross section 144.03 located at the snow making intake and formerly
described as Section 3, revealed that the stream channel changes were
constructed essentially as designed.
tr Cross section 145.01 located at the storm sewer outfall and formerly described
as Section 4 showed a raise in the elevations of the Gore Creek flow line
Hydrosphere Resource Consultants, Inc., 1002 Walnut, Suite 200, Boulder, CO 80302

grade and in the right bank grade above the storm sewer outfall. Examination
ofbefore and after construction pictures revealed that a new Creek rock drop
structure had been constructed immediately dou.nstream of this cross section
and the presence ofadditional bank fill above the storm sewer outfall. The
rock drop structure now located just upstream of the snowmaking intake was
installed at the direction of the USGS in conjunction with the replacement of
the gaging station.
D Cross section 144.06 located at the gaging station rock drop structure and
formerly described as Section 6 was subsequently surveyed to define the
geometry of this new feature.
The variations from expected post-project conditions described above werejudged to be
minor, but warranted further investigation to evaluate potential hydraulic impacts. At the
request of the Town, a hydraulic study of this reach of Gore Creek was made in order to
determine more precisely the impact of the constructed project on flood levels and related
flood characteristics. The basis for this study was the flood insurance study currently
under for review for adoption by the Town and the associated HEC-RAS computer model
files provided by the Town.
HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS
After receiving the background FEMA files from their contractor Michael Baker Jr., Inc.
to go along with the computer files that had been earlier obtained from the Town of Vail,
we were able to complete the requested hydraulic evaluation. Table I presents the 100-
year flood elevations for the three hydraulic analyses, which were necessary to evaluate
the impact of the project on flooding. The first column of Table I presents the flood
elevations directly from the new FEMA model for their cross sections in this reach. The
second column presents the flood elevations computed for this same reach using the same
FEMA cross sections supplemented by the additional surveyed pre-construction cross
sections, in order to more accurately define the hydraulics in this reach. The third
column presents the flood elevations computed for this reach using the same FEMA cross
sections supplemented by the additional post-construction surveyed cross sections.
The following is a bulleted summary of the hydraulic results and the notable hydraulic
impacts to this reach resulting from construction of the project.
a The 100-year water surface elevations for before and after construction conditions
match (within 0.01') FEMA elevations at both ends of the evaluated reach.
Accordingly, no developed or developable property outside ofthis reach is subject
to more extensive flooding than before the construction took place.
tr Water surface changes within the construction impacted reach (at the few
locations where they can be compared) are small, the same or lower than the
FEMA elevations. contained within the main channel of Gore Creek and do not

Page 4
cause more extensive flooding of facilities along this fully developed reach of
Gore Creek.
The fill on the northeast side of the Snow Cat Bridge, which causes a flow
acceleration through the bridge, combined with removal of the weir at the former
USGS gage location results a localized and isolated 1.20' decrease in water
surface elevation. The fill probably also causes the minor 0.02' increase in
elevation at the snowmaking intake as head increases upstream sufficiently to
allow the water to pass the minor bridge constriction.
The new USGS rock weir causes alocalized and isolated upstream increase in
water surf,ace elevation of berw*een 0.1 1' and 0.37' that does not impact water
levels upstream ofthe TOV recreation path bridge.
Most of the differences in the elevations in this reach are due to the increased
precision of using more cross sections in the hydraulic analysis than are due to
actual changes in physical conditions representing before and after conditions.
Cross section 145 does not appear to represent any specific feature in this reach
and appears to have been selected on the basis of generally representing the
hydraulic conveyance. This same reach is now represented by seven cross
sections, all precisely representing hydraulic features in more completely
describing both before and after construction conditions and therefore render
cross section 145 obsolete. To include cross section 145 in the computations
without having precise knowledge of its relationship to the new, more closely
spaced cross sections would likely cause mathematical instability, which could
not be easily explained.
Any hydraulic change caused by the fill above the storm sewer is
indistinguishable from and probably negligible with respect to the USGS rock
weir change immediately downstream of this same location.
There is no increase in the quantity of floodwater.
Water velocities are increased a small amount in places along the construction
impacted reach, but do not create a measurably greater erosion threat than existed
previously along the fully rock armored channel and banks of this reach.
This reach of Gore Creek has essentially the same appearance and function in
both the pre-construction and post-construction conditions.

RE: Vail Resorts Snow Cat Bridge and Snowmaking Intake Construction
Dear Gregg:
Vail Resorts is preparing to construct a new bridge across Gore Creek and replace their
existing snowmaking intake located near the Vail Wastewater Treatment Plant, just
upstream from the confluence ofRed Sandstone Creek. This project has been reviewed
and approved by the Vail Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design
Revierv Board, contingent upon analysis of potential floodplain impacts and compliance
with section L2-21-lOE of the Vail Town Code. The purpose of this letter is to report the
resuits of our analysis of floodplain impacts and to document project design
modifrcations that have been adopted to prevent increases in the quantity, depth and/or
velocity of flood waters.
Pursuant to our telephone discussions, our assessment of potential floodplain impacts
involved an analysis of the proposed improvements using the 1978 HEC-2 hydraulic
model that is the basis for the currently effective Flood Insurance Study, dated November
2, 1982. In addition, we completed a site-specihc inspection and survey of stream
channel cross sections through the project area. This information was used to evaluate
the proposed improvements and implement design modifications to assure that there will
be no net change in channel geometry and therefore no change in flood elevations or
velocity.
The existing conditions information for the HEC-2 hydraulic model was obtained directly
from FEMA and consisted of an undated "green bar" hard copy of the inpuVoutput
summary of hydraulic calculations together with a copy of the work map of the area. We
reviewed this information and used it to reconstruct the HEC-2 hydraulic model for the
area where the proposed proj ect is located. The flood hydraulics for this area were based
on very simple geometrically defined channel cross sections, regulatory cross sections
18.92 and 18.93, located immediately upstream and downstream of the proposed
improvements.

The HEC-2 model did not include any stream channel cross sections located in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed bridge and the intake structure. For the cross sections
located upstream and downstream of the project area, a sub-critical flow assumption was
used for the hydraulic calculations. The repeated "critical depth" computations
diagnostic indicated that the mathematical model could not balance in the assumed sub-
critical flow regime so the model automatically defaulted to computation of the critical
depth for the assumed 10O-year flood flow rate at each cross section. The hydraulic
grade line (water surface elevation) for the 100-year flood through this reach is the result
ofconnecting the individual upstream and downstream point calculations ofcritical
depth. The water surface profile through this reach cantherefore only be considered
approximate.
Our site specific survey and inspection of this stream reach revealed the existence ofa
very geometric and constrained channel section with no 1O0-year overbanks and limited
opportunity to mitigate channel encroachments with conveyance improvements. The
approximate elevation of the hydraulic grade line of the 1O0-flood indicated by the model
for the area between the proposed bridge and the new intake was 8081 .7 feet, which
would be about 2 to 3 feet below the bike path to the south and about 15 feet below the
parking lot to the north of the creek. The site plan showing the proposed improvements
is attached to this letter as Exhibit l.
The Snow Cat Bridge abutments would be located at elevations of 8086 and 8087 to the
north and south of the creek respectively, which would be well above and outside of the
100-year floodplain and will have no impact on the regulatory floodplain. The proposed
new intake structure and the new storm sewer outfall, both on the north side of the creek,
would be located at least partially below the 100-year flood elevation and inside the
mapped floodplain. The remainder of this letter therefore addresses potential impacts
associated with these strucfures.
Exhibit 2 illustrates stream channel cross section geometry at the proposed intake
location under existing conditions and future conditions following construction. The new
water intake structure was originally proposed with rectangular encroachment into the
floodplain, beginning slightly below the normal water level as shown on Exhibit 2. Our
initial qualitative evaluation of this structure, based upon its impact on channel geometry,
concluded that it would result in an unacceptable floodplain encroachment. We therefore
recornmended modifications to the design of the intake that involved moving the
structure back into the streambank and changing the design to reduce the height of the
structure so that it more closely conforms to the slope of the existing bank.
The prqect engineers have accepted these recommendations and modified the design so
that the intake will not cause a significant deviation in the geometric bank line. The
shaded area on Exhibit 2 in front of the intake control gate represents a widening of the
bottom ofthe stream channel by about 4.5 feet and a deepening ofthe channel edge by
about 2.5 feet. The shaded area along the upper bank above the proposed intake structure
shows some additional flood conveyance capacity due to widening and deepening of the
channel below the 1O0-year flood level. The additional channel conveyance capacity
Hydrosphere Resource Consultants, Inc., 1002 walnut Street, Suite 200, Boulder, CO 80302
' Mr. Gregg Barri May 27,2004
represented by these modifications will more than offset the impacts associated with the
upper corner of the structure that extends about 2 feet above the existing bank. This
comer of the structure would be similar to the size of existing boulders that are found in
the stream and on the banks through this stream section.
The Exhibit 2 cross section demonstrates that with the modified intake desigrr, the
structure will not result in a significant geometric encroachment. In the absence of a
reliable, precise hydraulic model, approximate conveyance computations were made to
determine the change in the channel's ability to carry water at the intake cross section
under existing and proposed conditions. The results of this analysis are presented on the
attached conveyance curve (Exhibit 3). At the normal flow level the channel conveyance
would be increased by approximately lgYo; at the level of the top of the proposed intake
strucrure, conveyance would be increased by about l"/o; and at the 10O-year flood level,
conveyance would increase by about 7Yo. Since the channel conveyance is actually
increased, at least a small amount at all stream stages, the intake will have no significant
impact on the regulatory flood elevation or velocity.
Exhibit 4 illustrates the before and after stream channel cross section geometry for the
proposed location of the new storm sewer outfall. This cross section demonstrates that
there will be no measurable deviation in geometric bank line between the before and after
conditions, and therefore no impact on the regulatory flood elevation or velocity.
In conclusion, the results of our analysis of floodplain impacts indicates that, with the
project design modifications described above, the proposed bridge, intake facility and
storm sewer outfall structure will not result in any increases in the quantity, depth and/or
velocity of flood water. Therefore, the proposed project will not result in any measurable
change in the floodplain and will not adversely affect adjacent properties.

RE: Vail Mountain Snow Cat Bridge Construction and Snowmaking Intake
Reconstruction (Department of the Army Permit No. 7628)
Dear Mark:
Vail Resorts is preparing to construct a new bridge aqoss Gore Creek near the Vail
Wastewater Treatment Plant, just upstream from the confluence of Red Sandstone Creek.
The purpose of this new bridge is to provide more direct access ffom the Vail Shop Yard,
located at 863 S. Frontage Road, to the Vail Mountain Ski Area for snow cats and other
equipment used to operate and maintain the ski area. The project also involves the
removal and replacement of the water supply intake for Vail Mountain snowmaking and
installation of a pumphouse. The new snowmaking intake and pumphouse will be
located on north bank ofGore Creek, slightly upstream ofthe existing diversion facility.
On behalf of Vail Resorts, I would like to request your authorization to proceed with the
construction of this project under the applicable Nationwide Permits. This letter provides
the required notification and documentation for Nationwide Permit verification including
the purpose and need for this project, the manner in which the project will be carried out,
and the construction best management practices to be employed to minimize water
quality and riparian impacts.

Location of Project
The project is located in the Town of Vail approximately 330 feet downstream from the
Forest Road bridge across Gore Creek and 370 feet upstream from the mouth of Red
Sandstone Creek, as shown on the attached Location Map (Exhibit A).
USGS Quadrangle: Vail West, Colo., Section 7, Township 55, Range 80W
Latitude: 39' 38.463'N
Longitude: 106" 23.652' W
Purpose and Need for the Project
Vail Resorts owns and operates the Vail Mountain Ski Area located to the south of the
Town of Vail on National Forest System Land in the White River National Forest. The
Vail Shop Yard, located on the north side of the South Frontage Road at the intersection
of Forest Road, is the primary maintenance facility for snow cats and other equipment
used to operate and maintain the ski area. Historically, access from the Vail Shop Yard
to the ski area has followed Forest Road to reach the Lionshead base area and Vail
Mountain. The use of this access route has become a nuisance factor for the residential
area on Forest Road and has resulted in an increase in the cost ofroad maintenance.
In response to these concerns, and at the request of the Town of Vail, Vail Resorts agreed
to find a new access route for their maintenance equipment. The location of the proposed
new snow cat bridge and the alignment ofthe new access route were identified after
working with the Town of Vail to evaluate several alternative approaches. The proposed
new alignment is through a light industrial area, avoiding impacts to residential
neighborhoods. The Vail Town Council has directed Vail Resorts to pursue the
approvals necessary to construct the bridge and access road using the proposed
alignment, and the project has been approved by the Vail Planning and Environmental
Commission and the Desisn Review Board.
Hydrosphere Resource consultants, Inc., 1002 walnut, Suite 200, Boulder, CO 80302
Mr. Mark Gilfillan April 09, 2004
In conjunction with development of the snow cat bridge, the snowmaking water diversion
facility will be moved to the north side of Gore Creek, approximately 100 feet upstream
from the current location. The replacement of the diversion structure is needed to
provide space for construction of the bndge abutment on the south side of the river and to
correct operational problems with the existing diversion facility. In addition, the new
structure will include a pumping station needed to convey water from the Dowds
Junction snowmaking intake to the operating reservoir located on Vail Mountain. This
will eliminate the need for the Lionshead Pumping Station that is currently located in a
residential area.
The existing Gore Creek Snowmaking intake was constructed in 1983 under Department
of the Army Permit No. 7628. The water right for this structure permits the diversion of
a maximum of 603 acre-feet of water per year at a diversion rate of up to 4.5 cfs for
snowmaking purposes (Case No. 82CW328). The diversion structure consists of a 12
inch surface water intake pipe on the south bank of the creek, two rock weirs across the
creek located above and below the intake pipe, a wet well and two pumps. Under current
conditions, the flow of water through the intake and into the wet well is not sufficient to
maintain a diversion rate sreater than 3.0 cfs.
Description of Proposed Work
The proposed work consists of four major components: 1) removal of the existing
snowmaking diversion and pumphouse; 2) construction of the snow cat bridge; 3)
construction of the new snowmaking intake and pumphouse; and 4) construction of storm
drainage improvements. In addition, it will be necessary to remove and relocate the
existing USGS Gaging Station (USGS 09066325 Gore Creek abv Red Sandstone Creek
at Vail, CO). The sequence of work and construction best management practices to
minimize impacts to Gore Creek are summarized below. It is important to note that the
construction contractor may recommend modifications in the anticipated sequence of
work and construction approach. The contractor will not be permitted to implement any
modifications that would increase the impacts described in this letter without prior
authorization from the Corps ofEngineers. The locations ofthe proposed facilities are
shown on the attached site plan (Exhibit B).
1. The first step in the construction process will involve the removal of the existing
snowmaking intake, pumphouse and adjacent retaining walls along the bike path to
the east and west of the pumphouse. Silt fencing and erosion control logs will be
placed above the streambank, on the north side of the bike path, thoughout the area
of disturbance. Equipment access to and from the site will be routed along the bike
path from Cascade Village located to the west of the site. Prior to demolition and
removal of the pumphouse, all of the equipment associated with the USGS Gaging
Station will be removed and stored for installation in the new pumphouse. Removal
and relocation ofthe gaging station will be conducted under the direction ofthe
USGS.
Hydrosphere Resource Consultants, Inc., 1002 Walnut, Suite 200, Boulder, CO 80302
2.
Mr. Mark Gilfillan April09, 2004
5.
After removal of the gaging station, a large excavator, operating from the bike path
will be used to accomplish the removal of the pumphouse and retaining walls. The
intake pipe will be cut back into the streambank and covered with natural rock riprap.
The remaining buried portion of the intake pipe will be left in place and plugged with
concrete to be injected from the wet well side of the intake. The wet well will be left
in place and filled with rock, dirt and concrete.
A new storm drainage pipe will be installed in a trench crossing the bike path
adjacent to where the south abutment of the snow cat bridge will be located, and a
storm water outfall structure will be installed on the streambank above the normal
high water line. lnstallation of the storm drainage pipe and outfall structure will not
require any excavation in the stream below the normal high water line. Existing
riprap located along the stream will be left in place to prevent erosion ofthe bank
below the outfall.
The next step will be excavation and installation of the bridge abutments above the
north and south banks ofGore creek outside ofthe 100-year floodplain. The bridge
abutment on south will be located about 40 feet south of the edge of the stream and
the limit of the excavation will be outside the 100-year floodplain. The abutment on
the north will be located about 20 feet from the edge of the stream and the limit of
excavation will extend several feet into the 1O0-year floodplain. Silt fencing and
erosion control logs will be placed between the river and the abutment excavations to
intercept and filter runoff from the disturbed areas. Construction of the bridge
abutments will not require any removal of dredge material from or placement of fill
material within the normal high water channel of the stream. Construction of the
north and south bridge abutments will proceed concurrently over a period of
approximately 3O-days.
The next step in the process, which may proceed concurrently with number 3 above,
will be construction of the new intake facility. This will include the excavation and
installation of the wet well, pumphouse and intake on the north bank of the river. The
wet well and pumphouse are located entirely below grade at the edge of the existing
parking lot and will require extensive excavation to the north of Gore Creek, outside
of the 100 year flood plain. Construction of the pumphouse and wet well will not
require any excavation within the normal high water line of Gore Creek. Silt fencing
and erosion control logs will be placed between the river and the pumphouse
excavation to intercept and filter runoff from the disturbed areas.
The next step will be construction of the intake structure. During this phase of
construction, a Water Structure@ coffer dam will be placed immediately upstream of
the construction area. It will extend from the north bank of the river, diagonally
across the current to approximately the center of the river and then downstream past
the area to be excavated for installation of the precast concrete intake structure (as
shown on Exhibit B attached). The temporary Water Structure coffer dam will divert
stream flows away from the construction area to prevent the erosion and mobilization
J.
irt-

Mr. Mark Gilfillan April09, 2004
of sediment from the area where excavation will occur. The precast diversion intake
structure will then be installed and connected to the wet well with two 36" pipelines.
Material excavated from the streambank will be used to backfill around the diversion
structure and intake pipelines. The stream channel and bank in the area around the
intake will be restored to the approximate the existing contours and the bank will be
armored with riprap as shown on the attached site plan.
6. In conjunction with construction of the pumphouse and intake structure, it will be
necessary to replace the existing storm drainage line and outfall structure located
immediately upstream of the new snowmaking intake. The existing 12" storm
drainage pipe from the parking lot will be replaced with an 18" pipe and a 3,000
gallon sand and oil interceptor will be installed. The new outfall structure will be
installed at the same location as the existing outfall, which is at the edge of the
normal high water level.
7. The USGS Gaging station will be installed at a location 30' to 40' upstream of the
new snowmaking intake structure. The recorder will be located in pumphouse.
Construction of the proposed project is scheduled to begin in mid-May of 2004.
Depending upon streamflow conditions, construction of the snowmaking intake facility
will be initiated in mid-July, after spring runoff. It is estimated that the intake related
excavation and installation work will be completed within a period of about 3-weeks.
The entire project will be completed by the end of September of 2004, prior to the brown
trout spawning season in Gore Creek and the Eagle River.
Estimate of Quantity of Fill
The placement of fill material below the normal high water line Gore Creek will be
confined to the area at the new snowmaking intake and the adjacent storm drainage
outfall, as shown on the attached site plan (Exhibit B). The stream channel cross section
at the intake, shown on Exhibit C, illustrates the placement of the intake relative to the
configuration ofthe existing stream channel. The excavation for the intake will extend
along the north streambank of Gore Creek for about 18 feet. Approximately 83 cubic
yards of material will be excavated below the normal high water level. After installation
of the precast intake structure, cobble and clean fill material removed from the
streambank will be placed around the intake to approximately match the existing slope
and contour of the bank. Riprap will be placed around the intake structure to armor the
streambank and protect the intake during periods of high flow. The approximate volume
of fill material to be placed below the level of normal high water will consist of the
following: 1) the precast intake structure vault - 31 yds'; 2) cobble and clean fill - 48
yds3; and 3)12" to 18" riprap-4yds3.
Removal and replacement of the existing storm drainage outfall, located approximately
40' upstream of the intake structure, will require excavation of 4 yds'. The approximate
volume of fill material to be placed below the level of normal high water will consist of
the following: 1) the storm drain headwall - I yds'; and 2) cobble and riprap - 3 yds'.

Riparian lmpacts and Mitigation
Riparian conditions throughout the area where the proposed project is located, have been
impacted by stream channelization to accommodate the Bike Path to the south, the Bike
Path Bridge and Forest Road Bridge to the east, and the wastewater treatment plant
buildings and parking lot to the north (Exhibit B). There is a gas station located
immediately north of Gore Creek to the west of the proposed project. Gore Creek
through this area is flanked by very steep sloped banks and riprap shorelines on both
sides of the stream.
Along the north streambank there are spa.rse tvillows as shown on the attached
photograph of the area where the proposed snowmaking intake structure would be located
(Exhibit D). The north streambank has been heavily impacts by debris and runoff from
the adjacent parking lot. Consffuction of the intake structure will result in the removal of
the willows along approximately 25 feet of the streambank. Following construction, the
riprap material on the streambank will be replaced so as to restore the existing slope and
contour between the stream and the pumphouse.
The impacts to the riparian area along Gore Creek will be mitigated by post-construction
erosion control BMP's that will be implemented to prevent sand and other debris from
the parking areas and driveways from entering the creek. This will include the
installation of 2' wide by 6" vertical catch curb and gutter along the edge of the parking
lot from the new snow cat bridge to the wastewater treatment plant building. The new
curb and gutter will route drainage from the parking lot to a new storm water drain to be
installed to the east of the new snowmaking pump vault. Storm water runoff from the
barking lot will then be routed through the new sand and oil interceptor before being
discharged to Gore Creek. These improvements will be beneficial to the water quality in
Gore Creek and the riparian community through this area. They will also reduce the risk
of contamination entering the creek from the parking area located to the east of the Vail
Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Disposal Site for Excavated Material
The excavated material will be stockpiled in the parking lot to the north of the
pumphouse, well away from the river. The stockpiled material will be surrounded with
straw wattles and erosion control fencing, as needed to prevent sedimentation from
erosion of the stockpile. Some of the stockpiled material will be used for backfill around
the bridge abutments, wet well and pumphouse. The remaining material will be removed
from the site and disposed ofat an authorized upland location.

Name(s) of Any Endangered Species Present
Table 1 provides a list of the threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species that
occur or may occur in Eagle County and their status (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
2003). This list includes four listed endangered fishes that are found in the Colorado
River to the west of Eagle County.

There is no suitable habitat for any of these species at the site. The proposed relocation
of the snowmaking intake will not result in any changes in the amount of water diverted
or consumed for snowmaking, so there will be no impact on downstream habitat for the
endangered fishes.
Nationwide Permit Type Needed
The following Nationwide Permits are applicable to the proposed activities associated
with this project:
o Nationwide Permit No. 3. Maintenance - Replacement of the previously authorized
snowmaking diversion facility.
o Nationwide Permit No. 5. Scientific Measurement Devices - Removal and relocation
of the USGS streamflow gage.

RE: VR Snowcat Access/Snowmaking System Improvements
Dear Russ:
As you know, Vail Resort's efforts to construct a new bridge and snowcat access route
also includes improvements to Vail Mountain's snowmaking system (collectively
referred to as the Project). These improvements to the snormaking system include the
installation of a new water intake device, pumpivault and water lines. Further, a new
stormwater drain pipe will be constructed (this will replace an existing pipe in the same
location), and an existing snowmaking intake pipe currently located within Gore Creek
will be removed.
To date the Project has been approved by the Design Review Board. This DRB approval
involved review of the design of structures and site development, colors, materials and
landscaping for the entire project. The Planning and Environmental Commission also
reviewed the project relative to retaining walls associated with the snowcat accessway.
A portion of the intake structure and the stormwater drain pipe will be located within the
Gore Creek flood plain. lmprovements within the floodplain are regulated by town
ordinances. This letter outlines how the proposed project complies with applicable town
regul ations.
Hazard Regulations - Activities within Flood Plain
Improvements in the flood plain are regulated by Chapter 2I Hazard, Regulations.
Section 12-21-10 A. Develooment Restricted:
E. The Administrator may require anv applicant or person desirins to modify the
flood plain by fill, construction, channelization, grading, or other sirnilar changes,
to submit for review an environmental impact statement in accordance with

adiacent properties, or increase the quantity or velocitv offlood waters. (Ord.
16(1983) $ l:ord. 12(i978) S 4)
This section of the Hazard Regulations make three irnportant points. If a proj ect involves
modifications within the floodplain an envirorunental impact statement in accordance
with Chapter l2 shall be submitted. This statement is intended to establish whether or
not the work will adversely affect adjacent properties or increase the quantity or velocity
of flood waters.
The Project involves modification to the flood plain. As such, the provisions of Chapter
12 are to be used to evaluate and determine whether proposed improvetnents adversely
affect adjacent properties or increase the quantity or velocity of flood waters. It can
clearly be surmised from Section 12-21-10 that improvements within the flood plain that
do not adversely affect adjacent properties or increase the quantity or velocity of
floodwaters shall be permitted.
Chapter 12-Environmental Impact Report
Town regulations stipuiate that an environmental impact report be completed for any
project for which such a report is required by other town regulations (as is the case in this
situation), is required by state or federal regulation or for any project which may change
the environment with respect to fifteen different environmental considerations. Section
12-12-2 lists these fifteen considerations.
Chapter 12 also stipulates that certain projects may be deemed exempt from requirements
to submit an environmental impact report. Section 12-12-3 Exempt Projects states "an
environmental impact report shall not be required for the following projects":
A. Alteration, repair and maintenance of existing structures and site
improvements.
A phase of a project for which an environmental impact report previously was
submitted and reviewed covering the entire project, provided that the project
was approved and not subsequently altered.
A project which, on the basis of a preliminary environmental assessment
covering each ofthe factors prescribed in Section 12-12-2 ofthis Chapter is
found to have an insignificant impact on the environment. The preliminary
environmental assessment and the finding on environmental impact shall be
made by the Administrator. (Ord. 8(1973) S 16.300)
Based on Section 12-12-3, ifprojects are deenred exempt based on any ofthese three
provisions, an environmer.rtal impact report is not required.
B.
C.
The following section will demonstrate how The Project confomrs to the provisions of an
exempt project and as such an environmental irnpact report is not required.
Evaluation of Project
The project involves two improvements, or nrodifications within the flood plain. These
include the stormwater drain pipe and the intake structure for Vail Mountain's
snowmaking system. The evaluation of The Project's "exempt status" involves
consideration of two factors outlined in Section 12-12-3, paragraph A. pertaining to The
Project being repair and maintenance of existing improvements and paragraph C.
pertaining to findings of a preliminary impact statement.
Paraqraph A. - Alteration of Existing Improvement
The stormwater drain pipe replaces an existing stormwater pipe. The new pipe will be
located in the same location as the existing pipe. As such, this portion of The Project
involves the alteration, repair and maintenance of an existing structure and site
improvement. The new stormwater drain pipe is clearly exempt from requirements to
provide an environmental impact report.
Parasraph C. - Findinss of a preliminarv impact statement
This paragraph states that a project found to have an insignificant impact on the
environment based on a preliminary environmental assessment covering the fifteen
factors listed in Section 12-12-2 shall be exempt from requirements to provide an
environmental impact report. The following is an evaluation of The Project (including
both the stormwater drainage outfall and the intake structure) relative to these fifteen
considerations.
The provisions of Chapter 12 - Environmental Impact Report have been "prompted" by
the proposed activities with the flood plain. As such, the evaluation of tl.rese l5
considerations focuses only on those aspects of The Proj ect located with the flood plain.
A. Alters an ecological unit or land form, such as a ridgeline, saddle, draw, ravine,
hillside, cliff, slope, creek, marsh, watercourse, or other natural land form feature.
Response
The proposed improvements within the flood plain will alter the creek bank and in doing
so affect the creek and water course. An analysis of this condition has been completed by
Hydrosphere Resource Consultants (see attached letter dated May 21 .,2004. This
analysis concludes that the Project will not result in any increases in the quantity, depth
and /or velocity offlood water and that the proposed project will not result in any
rneasurable change in the flood plain and will not adversely affect adjacent properties.
D.
B. Directly or indirectly affects a wildlife habitat, feeding, or nesting ground.
Response
The proposed project is limited to the replacement of an existing stormwater
drainage outfall and the installation of a new water intake structure. This
structure is a concrete box that is located a short distance into the flood plain. The
proposed improvements will have no significant impact on the above
considerations.
C. Alters or removes native grasses, trees, shrubs, or other vegetative cover.
Response
The creek bank with The Project improvements are located is very sparsely
vegetated. The landscape plan proposed as an element of The Project will
establish far more new vegetation than what will be altered by The Project. The
Project has no significant impact to this consideration.
Affects the appearance or character ofa significant scenic area or resource, or
involves buildings or other structures that are of a size, bulk, or scale that would
be in marked contrast to natural or existing urban features.
Response
The proposed improvements are very limited in terms of their size. The
stormwater outfall is located approximately two vertical feet above the normal
water level of Gore Creek. The intake structure is located approximately two and
one half feet above the normal water level. The project is located on a creek bank
that has been altered in the past. The Project has no significant impact to this
consideration.
Potentially results in avalanche, landslide, siltation, settlement, flood, or other
land form change or hazard to health and safety.
Response
The report prepared by Hydrosphere (as referenced above) demonstrates that the
improvements will have no adverse impact on the flood plain. No other
considerations listed above are impacted by the proposed improvements.
Discharges toxic or thermally abnormal substances, or involves use of herbicides
or pesticides, or emits smoke, gas, steam, dust, or other particulate matter.
Response
E.
F.
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
G. Involves any process which results in odor that may be objectionabie or
damaging.
Response
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
H. Requires any waste treatment, cooling, or settlement pond, or requires
transportation of solid or liquid wastes to a treatment or disposal site.
Response
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
I. Discharges significant volumes of solid or liquid wastes.
Response
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
J. Has the potential to strain the capacity of existing or planned sewage disposal,
storm drainage, or other utility systems.
Response
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
K. Involves any process which generates noise that may be offensive or damaging.
Response
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
L. Either displaces significant numbers of people or results in a significant increase in
population.
ResDonse
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant irnpact on the considerations listed above.
M. Preempts a site with potential recreational or open space value.
Response
The elernents of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
N. Alters local traffrc patterns or causes a significant increase in traffic volume or
transit service needs.
Response
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
O. Is a part of a larger project which, at any future stage, may involve any of the
impacts listed in this Section. (Ord. 8(1973) $ 16.200)
Response
The Project is not a part of a larger project. This provision is not applicable.
Conclusion
Of the fifteen factors to be considered by a preliminary environmental report, only on is
relevant to the Project - the potential affect on the flood plain and water course. As
demonstrated by the Hydrosphere report, the Project will not result in any increases in the
quantity, depth and /or velocity of flood water. The proposed project will not result in
any measurable change in the flood plain and will not adversely affect adjacent
properties.
It is very evident that the elements of The Project located within the flood plain are
exempt from requirements to provide an environmental impact report. The stormwater
drain pipe is exempt because it involves the alteration of an existing improvement located
within the flood plain. Both the stormwater drain pipe and the intake structure, as
evidence by the preliminary environmental impact report above, will have an
insignificant impact on the environment.
Subject to this same finding being made by the zoning administrator, the Project is
"exempt" and no environmental impact report is required. Based on the above, the
improvements proposed within the flood plain can be approved administratively. We are
happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this matter. Your prompt
response to this letter would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

RE: Vail Resorts Snow Cat Bridge and Snolvmaking Intake Construction
Dear Gregg:
Vail Resorts is preparing to construct a new bridge across Gore Creek and replace their
existing snowmaking intake located near the Vail Wastewater Treatment Plant, just
upstream from the confluence ofRed Sandstone Creek. This project has been reviewed
and approved by the vail Plaming and Environmental commission and the Design
Review Board, contingent upon analysis of potential floodplain impacts and compliance
with section l2-21-I0E of the Vail Town Code. The purpose of this letter is to report the
resuits of our analysis of floodplain impacts and to document project design
modifications that have been adopted to prevent increases in the quantity, depth and/or
veiocity of flood waters.
Pursuant to our telephone discussions, our assessment of potential floodplain impacts
involved an analysis of the proposed improvements using the 1978 HEC-2 hydraulic
model that is the basis for the currently effective Flood Insurance Study, dated November
2, 1982. In addition, we completed a site-specific inspection and survey of stream
channel cross sections through the project area. This information was used to evaluate
the proposed improvements and implement design modihcations to assure that there will
be no net change in channel geometry and therefore no change in flood elevations or
velocity.
The existing conditions information lbr the HEC-2 hydraulic model was obtained directly
from FEMA and consisted of an undated "green bar" hard copy of the input/output
summary of hydraulic calculations together with a copy of the work map of the area. We
reviewed tlris information and used it to reconstruct the HEC-2 hydraulic rnodel for the
area where the proposed proj ect is located. The flood hydraulics for this area were based
on very simple geometrically defined channel cross sections, regulatory cross sections
18.92 and 18.93, located immediately upstream and downstrearn of the proposed
improvenrents.

The HEC-2 model did not include any stream channel cross sections iocated in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed bridge and the intake structure. For the cross sectlons
located upstream and downstream of the project area, a sub-critical flow assumption was
used for the hydraulic calculations. The repeated "critical depth" computations
diagnostic indicated that the mathematical model could not balance in the assumed sub-
critical flow regime so the model automatically defaulted to computation of the critical
depth for the assumed 1O0-year flood florv rate at each cross section. The hydraulic
grud. li.r" (water surface elevation) for the 100-year flood through this reach is the result
ifconnecting the individual upstream and downstream point calculations ofcritical
depth. The water surface profile through this reach can therefore only be considered
approxlmate.
Our site specihc survey and inspection of this stream reach revealed the existence ofa
very geometric and constrained channel section with no 1Oo-year overbanks and limited
oppolrrnity to mitigate charmel encroachments with conveyance improvements. The
"ppro*l.nut.
elevati,cn of the hydraulic grade line of the I 00-flood indicated by the model
foi the area between the proposed bridge and the new intake was 8081.7 feet, which
would be about 2 to 3 feet below the bike path to the south and about 15 feet below the
parking lot to the north of the creek. The site plan showing the proposed improvements
is attached to this letter as Exhibit 1.
The Snow Cat Bridge abutments would be located at elevations of 8086 and 8087 to the
north and south of the creek respectively, which would be well above and outside of the
1Oo-year floodplain and will have no impact on the regulatory floodplain. The proposed
new intake structure and the new storm sewer outfail, both or-r the north side of the creek,
rvould be located at least partially below the 10O-year flood elevation and inside the
mapped floodplain. The remainder of this letter therefore addresses poter.rtial impacts
associated with these structures.
Exhibit 2 iilustrates strearn chaunel cross section geometry at the proposed intake
location under existing conditions and future conditions following construction' The new
water intake structure was originally proposed with rectangular encroachment into the
floodplain, beginning slightly below the normal water level as shown on Exhibit 2. Our
initiai qualitative evaluation of this structure, based upon its impact on channel geometry,
concluded that it would result in an unacceptable floodplain encroachment' We therefore
recommended modifications to the design of the intake that involved moving the
structure back into the streambank and changing the design to reduce the height ofthe
structure so that it more closely confomrs to the slope of the existing bank.
The project engineers have accepted these recommendations and modified the design so
that ihe intake will not cause a signihcant deviation in the geometric bank line' The
shaded area on Exhibit 2 i1 frolt of the intake control gate represents a widening of the
bottom of the stream chamel by about 4.5 feet and a deepening of the channel edge by
about 2.5 feet. The shaded area along the upper bank above the proposed intake structure
shows some additional flood conveyance capacity due to widening and deepening of the
chamel below the 1Q0-year flood level. The additional channel conveyance capacity

represented by these morilifrcations will more than offset the impacts associated with the
upper comer of the structure that extends about 2 feet above the existing bank' This
comer of the structure would be similar to the size of existing boulders that are found in
the stream and on the banks through this stream section.
The Exhibit 2 cross section demonstrates that with the modified intake design, the
structure will not result in a significant geometric encroachment. In the absence of a
reliable, precise hydraulic model, approximate conveyance computations were made to
determinL the change in the channel's ability to carry water at the intake cross section
under existing and proposed conditions. The resuits ofthis analysis are presented on the
attached conveyance curve (Exhibit 3). At the normal flow level the channel conveyance
would be increased by approximately lgVo; at the level of the top of the proposed intake
structure, conveyance would be increased by about l%o; and at the 100-year flood level,
conveyance would increase by about 7To. Since the channel conveyance is actually
increased, at least a small amount at all stream stages, the intake will have no significant
impact on the regulatory flood elevation or velocity.
Exhibit 4 illustrates the before and after stream channel cross section geometry for the
proposed location of the new storm sewer outfall. This cross section dernonstrates that
there will be no measurable deviation in geometric bank line between the before and after
conditions, and therefore no irnpact on the regulatory flood elevation or velocity.
In conclusion, the results of our analysis of floodplain impacts indicates that, with the
project design modifications described above, the proposed bridge, intake facility and
Itor- s.*.r outfall structure will not result in any increases in the quantity, depth and/or
velocity of flood water. Therefore, the proposed project wili not result in any measurable
change in the floodplain and will not adversely affect adjacent properties.

RE: Modifications within Flood Plain/VR Snowmaking System
Dear Russ:
As you know, Vail Resort's snowcat access/snowmaking improvement project involves a
number of cornponents. Three aspects of the project involve activity and/or improvements
within the 100-year flood plain. These include the removal of an existing snowmaking water
intake pipe, the construction of a new water intake structure and the replacement of an existing
stormwater drain pipe.
Chapter 6 of the Town's Development Standards Handbook regulates "grading" within the flood
plain. This chapter of the Handbook requires submittal of an environmental impact report and
requires Planning Commission approval for any grading within the flood plain. This letter
provides a description of proposed modifications to the flood plain and an environmental report
addressing proposed rnodifi cations.
Description of Proposed Modifications
Tluee activities/modifications within the flood plain are proposed:
Existir.rg Snowmakine Intake Pipe
The snorvmaking system's existing intake pipe is located within Gore Creek. This pipe extends
above the creek bed from which point it extends underground to the pump vault on the south side
of Gore Creek. The exposed portion of pipe will be cut back to the creek bed and covered with
river rock. The remaining portion of pipe will be filled with concrete.
Replacernent of Existins Stormwater Drain Pipe
An existing 12" storm drain outfalls into the creek immediately west and south of the ERWSD

New Snorvmaking Intake Structure
The neu, intake structure is a concrete box approximately l0' rvide and 3' tall (as measured from
"normal water level". Two 36" pipes will extend (underground) fronr this box to the
snowmaking vault. The box is bencl.red into the south side of the creek bank. Low boulder wing
walls will be located at either side of the box. This grading into the creek bank will essentially
"lo1ver" the creek bed and in doing so rvill ailow the water to reac}t the intake. A temporary
coffer darn will be installed during construction in order to divert water away from the
construction site.
The bridge abutments, the snowmaking vault and other components of the project are located
outside of the flood plain. As such, these specific elements of the project are not addressed by
the environmental impact report.
Environmental Impact Repirrt
Irr lieu of utilizing Chapter 12-Environmental lmpact Reports of the Zoning Regulations, Chapter
6 ofthe Handbook stipulates the environmental considerations to be addressed for any proposed
grading within the flood plain. These include the following:
Vegetation
The creek bank in this area has been impacted over the years. Existing vegetation is sparse,
consisting primarily of willows and various weeds. The steep slope of the stream bank,
graveVcobble soil conditions and uncontrolled run-offfrom the adjoining parking iot have
limited the ability of vegetation to take hold along the bank.
The landscape plan (this plan has been approved by the Design Review Board), proposed for this
project includes additional plantings in this area. In addition, the curb and drainage
improvements to the parking area will route runoff from the parking lot away from the creek
bank.
Riparian Areas
Riparian conditions throughout the area ofthe entire project have been impacted by stream
channelization to accommodate the bike path (to the south), the bike path bridge, the parking lot
and the waste water plant. Riparian habitat immediately surrounding the proposed
improvements is not adversely impacted. The landscape plan (this plan has been approved by
the Design Review Board), proposed for this project includes additional plantings in this area. In
addition, the curb and drainage improvements to the parking area will route runoff from the
parking lot away from tl.re creek bank. Over time these measures will benefit the riparian
community.
Hydraulic Calculations
The proposed intprovements within the flood plain will alter the creek bank and in doing so
affect the creek and water course. An analysis of this condition has been completed by
Hydrosphere Resource Consultants (see attached letter dated May 27,2004. This analysis
concludes that neither the intake structure or the storm drain pipe will not result in any increases
in the quantity, depth and /or velocity of flood water and that the proposed project will not result
in any measurable change in the flood plain and will not adversely affect adjacent properties.
Other information provided with this application includes an application form, filing fee,
adjacent property owners list and envelopes, and design drawings. Please do not hesitate to
contact me with any questions you may have regarding this application.
Sincerely,

RE: Vail Resorts Snotv Cat Bridge aud Snownraking Lltake Construction
Dear Gregg:
Vail Resofls is prepar-ing to construct a tlerv bridge across Gore Creek and replace their
existing snotvmaking intake located near tile Vail Wasleu'ater Treatment Plant- jusL
upstreanr from the conflueuce ofRed Sandslone Creek. This project has beeri revierved
and approved by the Vail Plamring and Environmentai Conrtnission and the Design
Review Board, contingent upon analysis of potential floodplain impacts and cornpliance
with section I 2-21 - 1 0E of tbe Vail Torvn Code. The purpose of this letter is to reporl the
results ofour analysis of floodplain irnpacts and to docutnent project design
rnodificatiols that have beel adopted to prevent increases in the quantity, depth and/or
velocity of flood waters.
pursuant to our telephone discussrons: our assessnent ofpotential floodplain inrpacts
involved an analysis ofrlre proposed intprovenrents using the 1978 HEC-Z hydlaulic
r-podel that is the basis for the currently effective Flood insurance Study, dated November
2,1982. lrr additiop, we completed a site-specific inspectiorr and survey of streanr
cJrasnel cross sections througlr the projecl area. This infonlalion was used to evaluate
the proposed improvenrents and inrplenrenl design modifications to assurc thal tlrere rvill
be no net cltauge i1 clrannel geon'letry and therefore no changc in flood elevatiotis or
velocity.
The existing colditiols infonrration for the HEC-2 hydraulic lDodel was obtained dircctly
front FEMA and coDsisted of an undated "green bar" hard copy of the inpuUoutput
suplt'tary of hydraulic calculations together with a copy of tlrc work nrap of the area. We
revicwcd tlris inforrtration and used it to rccorrstruct tlre HEC-2 hydraulic nrodel for the
area u,here thc proposed projcct is locateci. Thc flood hydraulics for tlris arca rvere bascd

expansion of the waste water plant and new drinking water facility on Forest Road in Vail.
This letter documents the District's reqponse and position on th€ comments provided. It sirould
be noted that the Planning and Envimnmemtal Commission approved the project onQct,2ll,
2003. The PEC did oot place any special conditions or restictions on the prcject.

that ifyou havefrontage on a road you must improve thal section of roadwayfalls
slwrt ofthe "flel;us" test or the "reasonable relatiottship" ,est rcquired to show that
the requested improvments have a relatiowhip to the impacts of the proposed

Additionally, the PECfound no such requirement in its deliberutions on the project.
The District is lherefore not proposing to prwide such ofsite improvenents.
Il should be noted, thal the Amoco gas stalion located to theulest of the site was jwt
approwdfor a substantial upansion of its buslness by the PEC and the Townwithout
any requirementsfor such Frontage Road improvements,
3. Plans for rctaining wall needed.
TIze retainingwall in question nay fu ellminated as the adjacent landowner has

RE: VR Snorvcat Access and Snowmakins Vault
Dear George:
Enclosed you rvill find an application and submittal information for Vail Resort's
proposed snowcat access and snow making vault. As you are aware, a portion of this
project is located on land owned by the Torvn of Vail and the Council has authorized this
application to proceed through the review process. and the PEC has previousiy approved
conditional use applications for this project. The DRB has also completed a conceptual
review of this project.
Submittal material includes the following:
l. Engineered drawings of the bridge (a reduced set has been submitted, I will have
a full-sized version to you in the next few days)
2. Civil engineered drawings (grading, drainage, etc.)
3. Landscape plan for the new snowcat access road
4. Landscape plan for bridge and snowmaking vault
5. DRB application form
As you can imagine, this is not a typical project when it comes to responding to the DRB
submittal requirements. I would suggest that at some time in the next few days we meet
to revierv the application, at which time we can identify any additional information that
may be needed to facilitate the town's review of this application. Thank you in advance
for your assistance with this prqect.
Sincerelv.

Bill,
Mike Bauer (ERWSD), Colorado Landscaping Co. and myself met with B&B and Alpine Engineering yesterday on
site to review the Frontage Road work from Forest Road to the west. This project is going to disturb and remove
a large portion of the existing landscaping and irrigation on the north side of our office. The irrigation system
being affected is what we need to use to irrigate the parking lot area. After observing the extent of the road
project and the impacts on the existing irrigation system and the new parking lot landscaping, I would like to ask
you for an extension of time to complete the parking lot landscaping. We are proposing to complete landscaping
afler the curb and gutter, bike path and utility work in the landscaped area is complete. The advantages of
postponing this work will allow it to be done only once, B&B will not have to try and work slowly around existing
inigation and new landscaping materials and we will be able lo follow the construction with our irrigation and
landscaping to have a complete project for all parties with out impacting each olher. ls this acceptable?
Also, have you had the opportunity to discuss the transplanting of the trees along the Frontage Road, if possible,
to the area on the south bank of the Gore Creek on the west side of the Gore Creek bridge on Forest Road? Bill
Kennedy notified me yesterday. Monday, they are planning to remove the trees this Thursday, 7/21.
Please let me know your thoughts on the above issues as soon as possible so arrangements can be made.
Thank you

RE:Vail Resorts Snowcat AccesVSnowmaking System lmprovements
Dear Tom,
As the original Vail Resorts Snowcat AccesVSnowmaking System Improvements have been revised to
now involve construction within the Gore Creek 100-year floodplain, the review process for this project
must now be revised as well. The Town of Vail Community Development and Public Works
Departments have reviewed and discussed your letter dated June 4,2004, which concluded that Vail
Resorts proposed snowmaking system improvements are exempt from the environmental impact report
submittal requirement of Chapter l2-2l,HazardRegulations, Vail Town Code. While the Town Staff
does not disagree with your assessment, this conclusion does not address the provisions of Section l4-6,
Grading Standards, Vail Town Code, which explicitly state that "No grading is permitted in the 1)0-year
Jlood plain without Planning and Environmental Commission approval. " Therefore, while the proposed
snorvmaking system improvements may not require the submittal of an environmental impact report, the
grading associated with this project does require the review and approval of the Planning and
Environmental Commission (PEC).
Therefore, a completed application for a "Floodplain Modification" must be submitted to the Town of
Vail for review and approval prior to the issuance of any permits allowing the construction of the
proposed snowmaking system. The next PEC application submittal deadline is Monday, June 14, 2004,
which will schedule this item to be reviewed by the PEC at its Monday, July 12, 2004, public hearing. In
an effort to expedite this review, if a complete application is submitted by 9:00 AM on Tuesday, June 8,
2004, this item will be scheduled for review at the PEC's lvlonday, June 28, 2004, public hearing. The
cut-offtime for distributing the required PEC public notices is tomorrow moming, so if this application is
received after 9:00AM iomorrow the Town Staff will have no option but to schedule this item for PEC
review on July 12, 2004. Additionally, verification of Army Corp of Engineers' approval for this project
must be submitted to the Town of Vail no less than one week prior to the scheduled review of this
application by the PEC.

As you are aware, there still remain several unresolved issues reiated to ttre proposed snowcat access
road. The most significant of those issues being that neither the restrictive covenants on the property nor
the Special Development District #4 (SDD #4) zoning currently permit the construction of the proposed
snowcat access road. The application recently submitted to amend SDD #4 is incomplete, therefore the
applicatioo must be amended to meet the application submittal requirements. A revised application mu$t
be submitted to the Town of Vail by no later than Noon, on Monday, June 14, 2004, for this application to
be revierved by the PEC at its July 12, 2004, public bearing. Prior to the final approval ofany amendment
to SDD *!4, the full compliance of this project with the covenants on Tract K, Glen Lyon Subdivision,
must be demonstrated.
Furthermore, should Vail Resort wish to construct this project in phases (i.e. the bddge and snowmaking
systems, then the snowcat access route) revised architecturaVengineering plans must be submitted to
clearly illustrate the construction associated with each phase. Please ensure that all proposed construction
is confined within the boundaries of the easements granted by the Town Council at its June 1,20A4,
public hearing.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly at (970) 479-2173.

SUMMARY
The applicant, Vail Resorts, represented by Braun Associates, is requesting approval of
a floodplain modification, pursuant to Chapter 14-6, Grading Standards, Vail Town
Code, to allow for snowmaking system improvements within the Gore Creek floodplain
located on an unplatted parcel adjacent to the Eagle River Water and Sanitation
facilities,646 West Forest Road. Based upon Staffs review of the criteria in Section Vll
of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the Community
Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental
Commission approve, with conditions, the requested floodplain modification, subject
to the findings noted in Section Vlll of this memorandum.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant is proposing to modify the Gore Creek floodplain to allow forthe construction
of improvements to Vail Resort's snowmaking infrastructure located adjacent to the Eagle
River Water and Sanitation facilities, 646 West Forest Road. A vicinity map has been

RE: Modifications within Flood Plain/VR Snowmaking System
Dear Russ:
As you know, Vail Resort's snowcat access/snowmaking improvement project involves a
number of components. Three aspects of the project involve activity and/or improvements
within the 100-year flood plain. These include the removal of an existing snowmaking watcr
intake pipe, the construction of a new water intake structure and the replacement of an existing
stormwater drain pipe.
Chapter 6 of the Town's Development Standards Handbook regulates "grading" within the flood
plain. This chapter of the Handbook requires submittal of an environmental impact report and
requires Planning Commission approval for any grading within the flood plain. This letter
provides a description of proposed modifications to the flood plain and an environmental report
addressing proposed modifi cations.
Description of Proposed Modifications
Three activities/modifications within the flood plain are proposed:
Existine Snowmakine Intake Pipe
The snowmaking system's existing intake pipe is located within Gore Creek. This pipe extends
above the creek bed from lvhich point it extends underground to the pump vault on the south side
of Gore Creek. The exposed portion of pipe will be cut back to the creek bed and covered with
river rock. The remaining portion of pipe will be frlled with concrete.
Replacement of Existins Stormwater Drain Pipe
An existing 12" storm drain outfalls into the creek immediately west and south of the ERWSD
treatment plant. This pipe will be replaced (in the same location) by a 12" pipe and an 18" pipe.
This improvement will also include a 3,000 gallon sand/oil interceptor. These pipes will daylight
from a new concrete headwall.

New Snowmaking lntake Structure
The new intake structure is a concrete box approximately 10' wide and 3' tall (as measured from
"normal water level". Two 36" pipes will extend (underground) from this box to the
snowrnaking vault. The box is benched into the south side of the creek bank. Low boulder wing
walls will be located at either side of the box. This grading into the creek bank will essentially
"lower" the creek bed and in doing so will allow the water to reach the intake. A temporary
coffer dam will be installed durine construction in order to divert water away from the
construction site.
The bridge abutments, the snowmaking vault and other components of the project are located
outside of the flood plain. As such, these specific elements of the project are not addressed by
the environmental impact report.
Environmen tal Impact Report
In lieu of utilizing Chapter l2-Environmental lmpact Reports of the Zoning Regulations, Chapter
6 ofthe Handbook stipulates the environmental considerations to be addressed for any proposed
grading within the flood plain. These include the following:
Vegetation
The creek bank in this area has been impacted over the years. Existing vegetation is sparse,
consisting primarily of willows and various weeds. The steep slope of the stream bank,
graveVcobble soil conditions and uncontrolled run-offfrom the adjoining parking lot have
limited the ability of vegetation to take hold along the bank.
The landscape plan (this plan has been approved by the Design Review Board), proposed for this
project includes additional plantings in this area. In addition, the curb and drainage
improvements to the parking area will route runoff from the parking lot away from the creek
bank.
channelization to accommodate the bike path (to the south), the bike path bridge, the parking lot
and the waste water plant. Riparian habilat immediately surrounding the proposed
improvements is not adversely impacted. The landscape plan (this plan has been approved by
the Design Review Board), proposed for this project includes additional plantings in this area. In
addition, the curb and drainage improvements to the parking area will route runoff from the
parking lot away from the creek bank. Over time these measures will benefit the riparian
community.
Hydraulic Calculations
The proposed improvements within the flood plain will alter the creek bank and in doing so
affect the creek and water course. Ar analvsis of this condition has been completed by
' Hydrosphere Resource Consultants (see attached letter dated May 27,2004. This analysis
concludes that neither the intake stucture or the storm drain pipe will not result in any increases
in the quantity, depth and /orvelocity of flood water and that the proposed project will not result
in any.measurable change in the flood plain and will not adversely affect adjacent properties.
Other information provided with this application includes an application form, filing fee,
adjacent property owners list and e,rirvelopes, and desip drawings. Please do not hesitate to
contact me with any questions you may have regarding this application.

RE: Varl Resorts Snow Cat Bridge and Snowmaking Intake Construction
Dear Gregg:
Vajl Resorts is pleparing to construct a new bridge across Gore Creek a:rd replace iheir
existilg snowmaking iltake iocated near the Vail Wastewater Treatment Plant, just
upstream frorn the confluence ofRed Sandstone Creek. This project has been reviewed
and approved by the Vail Plaruring and Environmental Comurission and tlle Design
Review Board, contingent upon analysis of potential floodplain in'rpacts and compliauce
witlr section 12-21-108 of the Vail Town Code. The purpose of this letter is to report the
results of our analysis of floodplain impacts and to document project design
rnodificatiols tirat ]rave beel adopted to prevent increases in the quantity, depth and/or
velocity of flood waters.
Pursua:tt to our telephone discussions, our assessnent ofpotential floodplain iurpacts
involved an analysis of the proposed improvements using tiie 1978 HEC-2 hydraulic
model that is the basis for the currently effective Flood lnsurance Study, dated November
2,1982. ln addition, we completed a site-specific inspection aud suwey of stream
citannel cross sections througlr the project area. This infonlation was used to evaluate
the proposed improveurents and implement design nlodifications to assure that there will
be no net change in charurel geometry and therefore no change in flood elevatiotrs or
velocity.
The existing conditions inforr.ration for the HEC-2 hydraulic model was obtained directly
fronr FEMA and consisted of an undated "green bar" |ard copy of the inpuVoutput
summary of hydrauiic calculations together witlr a copy of the work rnap of the area. We
revierved tlris infonration and used it to reconstruct the HEC-2 hydraulic model for the
area where tlie proposed project is located. The flood hydraulics for this area rvere based
on very sinrple geonretrically defined chamrel cross sectiolts, regulatory cross sectiotts
18.92 and 18.93, located irunrediately upslrealll and downstlealll of the proposed
inrprovemetrts.
I', 1lir. ',,'. 11..1 . | , r"rtl
Mr. Gregg Barri MaY 21,2044

The HEC-2 model did pot iuclude any stream channel cross sections located in the
inurediate vicinity of the proposed bridge and tire iulake structwe. For the cross sections
Iocated upstrealn and downstl'eanr of the project area, a sub-critical flow assulnption was
used for ihehydraulic calculations. The repeated "critical depth" cornputations
diagnostic indicated that the matbematical niodel could not balance in the assumed sub-
critical flow regime so the model automatically defaulted to cornputatiorr of tlie critical
depth for the assumed 10Q-year flood flow rate at each cross section. The irydraulic
grud" litt" (water surface elevatiol) for 1he 1Q0-year flood tluough this reach is the result
Jfconnecting the individual upstream and downstream point calculations ofcritical
depth. The water surface prcfile throug)r this reach can therefore only be considered
approxirnate.
Our site specific survey and inspection of this stream reach revealed the existence ofa
very geometric and corrstrained charinel section with no 10O-year overbaDks and limited
opportunity to mitigate channel errcroacbments with conveyance improvenrents. The
aiproxinrate elevatiop of the hydlaulic grade line of the 10g-flood indicated by the rnodel
for the area between the proposed bridge and tl-ie new intake was 8081 .7 feet, wirich
would be about 2 to 3 feet below tire bike patir to the south and about 15 feetbelow the
parkirig lot to the norllr of the creek. The site plan sirowing tlre proposed inrprovements
is attached to tiris letter as Exhibit 1.
The Snow Cat Bridge abutments would be located at elevations of 8086 and 8087 to the
lorth ald south of the creek respectively, which would be well above and outside of the
100-year floodplain and will have rio impact on the regulatory floodplain The proposed
new intake structure and the new stonn sewer outfall, both on the nortir side of the creek,
would be located at least pafiially below tb,e 1O0-year flood elevation and inside the
nrapped floodplain. The iemainder of this letter therefore addresses potential impacts
associated with these structures.
Exhibit 2 illustrates streanr citaruel cross section geometry at tire ploposed intake
locatiol ulder existing conditions and future conditions following construction. The new
water intake structure was originally ploposed with rectangular encroaclurent into the
floodplain, beginling slightly below ihe nonlal water level as shown on Exhibit 2- Our
irutiai gualitative evaluation of tlris structure, based upon its in-rpact on channel geometry,
concluied that it would result iq an uracceptable floodplain encroach-urettt. We therefore
recollmerlded nrodificatiolrs to the design of the intake that involved moving the
stmcture back ilto the streambalk and changing the design to reduce the height of the
structure so that it more closely confoms to tbe slope of the existing bank'
The project engineers have accepted these recomnrendalions and modified tlre design so
that ihe intake will not cause a significaut deviation irr the geometric bank lirle. The
shaded area on Exhibit 2 i1 flont of the intake control gate repres€nts a widening of the
4.5 feet and a deepening ofthe charmel edge by
about 2.5 feet. Tlie shaded area alotlg the upper bank above
slrows sonre additiona'l flooil colveyance capacity due to widening arrd deepening of the
channel below the 100-year llood level. The additional cl'rarlrel conveya.llce capacrty

represented by these modifications will rnore than offset the impacts associated with tlte
up1rr,
"or-rl.,
of the structure that extends about 2 feet above the existing bank. This
cotrer of the stlucture would be similar to tire size of existing boulders that are found in
the strear.n and on flre banks tiuougli this steam section.
The Exhibit 2 cross section demonstrates that with tlie nodified intake design, the
structure wiil not result in a significant geonretric encroach:nent. In the absence ofa
reliable, plecise hydraulic model, apirroximate conveyance cotlputations were made to
deteruine the change in the chanlel's ability to carry water at the intake cross section
ulder existing and proposed conditions. The results oftliis analysis are presented on the
attaclied conveyance curve (Exhibit 3). At the nomal flow Ievel the chamel conveyance
would be increased by approxirnately L9Yo, at the level of the top of the proposed intake
slruclule, conveyance would be increased by about 1o/o', and at the 1O0-year flood level,
corlveyance would increase by about 7%o. Since the chaturel col'Iveyance is actually
increased, at ieast a small an:iount at all strearn stages, the intake will have no significant
impact on the regulatory flood elevation or velocity.
Exhibit 4 illustrates the before and after stream charu:el cross section geonretry for the
proposed location of tl-re neu, storm sewer outfail. This cross section detnonstrates that
tlrere will be no measurable deviation in geornetric bank line between the before and after
conditions, and therefore no impact on 1he regulatory flood elevation or velocity.
ln conclusion, the r esults of our analysis of floodplain irlpacls indicates that, with the
project design modifications described above, the proposed bridge, intake facility aud
itor11r ,"*", outfall structure will not result in any increases in the quar.rtity, depth and/or
velocity of flood u,ater. Therefore, the pricposed project rvill not result in any tneasurable
change in the floodplain and will not adversely affect adjacent properlies.

RE: Modifications within Flood Plain/VR Snowmaking System
Dear Russ:
As you know, Vail Resort's snowcat access/snowmaking improvement project involves a
number of components. Three aspects of the project involve activity and/or improvemcnts
within the 10O-year flood plain. These include the removal of an existing snowmaking water
intake pipe, the construction of a new water intake structure and the replacement of an existing
stormwater drain pipe.
Chapter 6 of the Town's Development Standards Handbook regulates "grading" within the flood
plain. This chapter of the Handbook requires submittal of an environmental impact report and
requires Planning Commission approval for any grading within the flood plain. This letter
provides a description of proposed modifications to the flood plain and an environmental report
addressing proposed modifi cations.
Description of Proposed Modifications
Three activities/modifications within the flood plain are proposed:
Existine Snowmakine Intake Pipe
The snowmaking system's existing intake pipe is located within Gore Creek. This pipe extends
above the creek bed from which point it extends under-eTound to the pump vault on the south side
of Gore Creek. The exposed portion of pipe will be cut back to the creek bed and covered with
river rock. The remaining portion of pipe will be filled with concrete.
Replacement of Existins Stormwater Drain Pipe
An existing 12" storm drain outfalls into the creek immediately west and south of the ERWSD
treatment plant. This pipe rvill be replaced (in the same location) by a 12" pipe and an 18" pipe.
This improvement will also include a 3,000 gallon sand/oil interceptor. These pipes will daylight
from a new concrete headwall.

New Snowmaki[q Intake Structure
The new intake structure is a concrete box approximately 10' wide and 3' tall (as measured from
"normal water level". Two 36" pipes will extend (underground) from this box to the
snowmaking vault. The box is benched into the south side of the creek bank. Low boulder wing
walls will be located at either side of the box. This grading into the creek bank will essentially
"lower" the creek bed and in doing so will allow the water to reach the intake. A temporary
coffer dam will be installed during construction in order to divert water away from the
construction site.
The bridge abutments, the snowmaking vault and other components of the project are located
outside of the flood plain. As such, these specific elements of the project are not addressed by
the environmental impact report.
Environmental Impact Report
In lieu of utilizing Chapter l2-Environmental Impact Reports of the Zoning Regulations, Chapter
6 ofthe Handbook stipulates the environmental considerations to be addressed for any proposed
grading within the flood plain. These include the following:
Vegetation
The creek bank in this area has been impacted over the years. Existing vegetation is sparse,
consisting primarily of willows and various weeds. The steep slope of the stream bank,
graveVcobble soil conditions and uncontrolled run-offfrom the adjoining parking lot have
limited the ability of vegetation to take hold along the bank.
The landscape plan (this plan has been approved by the Desigrr Review Board), proposed for this
project includes additional plantings in this area. In addition, the curb and drainage
improvements to the parking area will route runoff from the parking lot away from the creek
bank.
Riparian Areas
Riparian conditions throughout the area of the entire project have been impacted by stream
channelization to accommodate the bike path (to the south), the bike path bridge, the parking lot
and the waste water plant. Riparian habitat immediately surrounding the proposed
improvements is not adversely impacted. The landscape plan (this plan has been approved by
the Desigrr Review Board), proposed for this project includes additional plantings in this area. Lr
addition, the curb and drainage improvements to the pmking area will route runofffrom the
parking lot away from the creek bank. Over time these measures will benefit the riparian
communitv.
Hvdraulic Calculations
The proposed improvements within the flood plain will alter the creek bank and in doing so
affect the creek and water course. An analysis of this condition has been completed by
Hydrosphere Resource Consultants (see attached letter dated May 27,2004. This analysis
concludes that neither the intake structure or the storm drain pipe will not result in any increases
in the quantity, depth and /or velocity of flood water and that the proposed project will not result
in an1, measurable change in the flood plain and will not adversely affect adjacent properties.
Other information provided with this application includes an application form, filing fee,
adjacent property owners list and envelopes, and desigrr drawings. Please do not hesitate to
contact me with any questions you may have regarding this application.
Sincerely,
Thomas A. Braun

RE: Vail Resorts Snow Cat Bridge and Snowmaking Intake Construction
Dear Gregg:
Vail Resorts is preparing to construct a new bridge across Gore Creek and replace their
exisling snowmaking intake located near the Vail Waslewater Treatlnent Plant, just
upstream frorn the conflueuce ofRed Sandstone Creek. This project has been reviewed
and approved by the Vail Plan:ring and Enviromrental Comtnission aud the Design
Review Board, contingent upon analysis of potential floodplain irnpacts and compliance
witir section 12-21-108 of the Vail Torvn Code. The purpose of this letter is to report tlie
results of our analysis of floodplain ilupacts aud to document project desigu
modifications that have been adopted to pr event increases in the quantity, deptli andior
velocity of flood waters.
Pursuant to our telephone discussions, our assessment of potentral floodplarn irnpacts
invoived an anaiysis of the proposed improvements using the 1978 HEC-2 hydraulic
model that is the basis for the currently effective Flood lnsurance Study, dated November
2, 1982. ln addition, we completed a site-specific ilspection and sun"ey of streanr
channel cross sections tluough the projecl area. Tliis infomration was used to evaluate
the proposed improvenrents and implement design modifications to assure that there will
be no net change in channcl geornetry and therefore no change in flood elevalions or
velocity.
Tlre existing conditions infomration for the HEC-2 hydraulic model was obtained directly
frorn FEMA and cousisted of an uudated "green bar" hard copy of the input/output
surnn'rary of hydraulic calculations together u'ith a copy of tire work rlap of the area. We
revierved tbis infonlation and used it to recoustruct the HEC-2 hydraulic nrodel for the
area where thc proposed projcct is located. The flood hydraulics for this arca were based
on very sinrple geonretrically defined chanr.rcl crcss sections, regulatory cross sectiolts
18.92 and 18.93, located imnrediately upstream and downstreanr ofthe proposcd
improvements.

Pase 2
The HEC-2 model did not include any stream channel cross seclions located in the
imrr1ediate vicinity of tlie proposed bridge and tlre intake structure. For the cross sections
located upstreatn and downstrearn of the project area, a sub-critical flow assutnption was
used for the hydraulic calculations. The repeated "critical depth" cornputations
diagnostic indicated tlrat the rrathematical rnodel couid not balalce in the assumed sub-
critical flow reginre so the model automatically defaulted to computation of tire critical
depth for tire aisunred 1O0-year flood flor,v rate at each cross sectiou The hydraulic
gr"d. li,.r" (water surface elevation) for the 100-year flood tluough this reach is the result
ffconnecting the individual upstream and downstream point calculations ofcritical
depth. The iater surface profil. through this reach cau therefore only be considered
approxiraate.
Our site specific survey and ir.rspection of this stream reach revealed tire existence of a
very geornetric and constrained chamrel section',r'ith no 10o-year overbanks and limited
opportur.rity to mitigate channel ettcroaclments with conveyance improvements' The
uppro*ilnut" elevation of the hydraulic grade line of tlre 100-flood indicated by the model
for the area betrveen the proposed bridge and the nerv intake was 8081-7 feet, whiclt
rvould be about 2 to 3 feet below the bike path to the south and about 15 feet beloq'the
parking lot to the north of the creek. The site plan showing the proposed iurprovements
is attacl.red to this letter as Exhibit 1.
The Snow Cat Bridge aburments would be iocated at elevatious of 8086 and 8087 to the
north and south of the creek respectively, whicir would be well above and outside of the
100-year floodplain and will have uo impact on the regulatory floodplain' The proposed
new intake structure and the ltew stolrlt sewer outfall, both on the nortl't side of tl-re creek,
would be locared at least partially below the 1O0-year flood elevatior.r and inside the
rnapped floodplain. The remaindel of this letter therefore addresses potential inrpacts
associated rvith these structures.
Exiribit 2 illustrates stream channel cross seclion geometry at the ploposed intake
location under existilg conditions and future condilions following construction. The new
water intake structure was originally proposed with rectangulat- encroachment into the
floodplain, beginning slightly below the nonlal water level as shou'n on Exhibit 2' our
initiai quaiitative evaluation of this structure, based upon its impact on channel geometrJ'
concluded that it would result ir.r an unacceptable floodplain encroaclulent. We therefbr-e
recommended modifications to the design of tbe intake thal involved moving tire
structure back into the streambank and changing the design to reduce the lreight of the
structure so that it nrore closely confonrrs to the slope ofthe existing bank.
Tlie project engineers have accepted tlrese recourttrendalions and modified the design so
that ihe iltake will uot cause a significant deviation in the geonletric bank line. The
shaded area 01 Exhibit 2 in front of the intake conlrol gatc represellts a widening of the
bottom ofthc strcalrr chantrel by about 4.5 fect a1d a deepening ofthe chanlrel edge by
about 2.5 fee1. The shaded area along the upper bank above thc proposed intake structure
shows somc additiorral flood conveyance capacity due to widening and deepcning of the
clrannel below the 100-year flood level. The additional clraruel conveyallce capacity

represented by tlrese modifications will more than offset the impacts associated with tlie
upper comer of tlte structule that extends about 2 feet above the existing bank. This
comer of the structure would be similar to the size of existing boulders that are found in
the stream and on tlie banks through tiri s strearn section.
The Exhibit 2 cross section demonstrates that with the modified intake design, the
structure will not result in a significant geometric encrcachment. In the absence of a
reliable, precise hydraulic model, approximate conveyance computations were made to
determine the change in the channel's ability to carry waler at the intake cross section
under existing and proposed conditions. The results ofthis analysis are presented on tire
attached conveyauce curve (Exhibit 3). At l"he normal flow level the channel conveyance
would be iucreased by approxirnately lgah; at the ievel of the top of the proposed intake
struclure, conveyance would be increased by about lYo; and at the 100-year flood level,
conveyance would increase by about 7%o. Since the channel conveyance is actually
increased, at least a small arrlount at ail strearr stages, the intake will have no significant
impact on the regulatory flood elevatiolt or velocity.
Exhibit 4 illustrates the before and after stream channel cross section geometry for the
proposed location of the r.rew stolrl'r sewer outfail. This cross section demonstrates that
there will be no measurable deviation in geometric bank line between the before and after
conditions, and therefore no irnpact on the regulatory flood elevatiot't or velocity.
[.r colciusion, tl.re results of our ana]ysis of floodplain impacts indicates that, with the
project design nodifications described above, the proposed bridge, intake facility and
stomt se\ver outfall structure will not result in any increases in the quantity, depth and/or
I'elocify of flood rvater. Therefore, the proposed project will not result in any measurable
change in the floodplain ar.rd ivill not adversely affect adjacent properlies.
Please feel flee to contact me at (303) 443-7839 or dlaiho@hydrosphere.com, if you have
any questions or need any additional ir.rfomration.

Community Development Department
March 8. 2004
A request for final review of a variance from Chapter 14-6, Grading Standards,
Vail Town Code, to allow for retaining walls in excess of six (6) feet in height,
located at Tract K, Glen Lyon Subdivision and Unplatted Parcels, a more
complete metes and bounds description is available at the Community
Development Department and setting forth details in regard thereto.
Applicant Vail Resorts Development, represented by Braun Associates
Planner: Bill Gibson

SUMMARY
The applicant, Vail Resort Development, is requesting a variance from Chapter
14-6, Grading Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow for retaining walls in excess
of six (6) feet in height, located at Tract K, Glen Lyon Subdivision and Unplatted
Parcels to facilitate the construction of a new snowcat access road generally
located south of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD) and Vail
Amoco sites (846 West Forest Road and 934 South Frontage Road) to the
Westin-Ho trail/catwalk.
Based upon Staffs review of the criteria in Section Vlll of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends approval, with conditions, of a variance to allow the conslruction
of retaining walls in excess of six (6) feet in height subject to the findings and
conditions noted in Section lX of this memorandum.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant is proposing to construct a new snowcat access road generally
located south of the ERWSD and Vail Amoco sites (846 West Forest Road and
934 South Frontage Road). This proposal will facilitate the re-routing of Vail
Resorts' winter mountain maintenance traffic from West Forest Road to this new
access road. This new access route will start from the western driveway of the
Vail Resorts maintenance facility, cross South Frontage Road and continue south
along the western ERWSD property line, bridge across Gore Creek, continue
southwest across Town of Vail owned Tract K. and connect to the Westin-Ho
trail/catwalk.
The proposed access road will be a 25-foot wide gravel road surface. Due to the
steepness of slopes on Tract K, the proposed access road will have finished
grades as steep as 16% and will require the construction of both cut and fill
retaining walls. At their tallest points, the cut walls will be approximately 14 feet
I
ilt.
in height and the fill walls will approximately 12 feet in height. These proposed
retaining wall heights exceed the 6-foot height maximum allowed by Chapter 14-
6, Vail Town Code. The applicant is proposing to construct both the cut and fill
retaining walls with a Keystone Retaining Wall System. Architectural plans and
material descriptions have been attached for reference (Attachment C).
Additionally, a Geotechnical Report for the proposal has also been attached for
reference (Attachment D).
BACKGROUND
On July 15, 2003,Vail Town Council granted Vail Resorts permission to
for the
snowcat access road which crosses Town of Vail property.
On December 8, 2003, the Planning and Environmental Commission approved a
Vail Resorts' application for Forest Place Subdivision located at 615 West Forest
Road. One of the Planning and Environmental Commission conditions of
approval was that Vail Resorts discontinue the use of West Forest Road as
the ski mountain.
The applicants' proposal was conceptually reviewed by the Design Review Board
at its November 3, 2003, February 4 and March 3, 2004 public hearings. The
snowcat access proposal was previously reviewed in association with a proposed
addition to the ERWSD facilities. The proposed construction of the ERWSD
addition has since been put on hold and the design review application withdrawn
by ERWSD. At its March 3,2A04, hearing the Design Review Board focused
solely on the snowcat access proposal. The Design Review Board discussed the
proposed access road design, retaining wall designs, bridge design, and
landscaping plan design; and at the conclusion of these discussions, the Design
Review Board was supportive of the applicant's proposal.

VIII. CR]TERIA AND FINDINGS
The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by Chapter 12-16,
Vail Town Code.
A. Consideration of Factors Reqardinq the Setback Variances:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or
potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
Staff does not believe the granting of this variance will have
significant negative impacts to existing or potential uses and
structures in the vicinity. Similar retaining walls have previously
been constructed in association with other access projects such
as the nearby pedestrian and skier bridges. Due to the steepness
of this site, the proposed additional retaining wall height
associated with this snowcat access road design will reduce the
amount of site disturbance to the hillside when compared to
designs using tiered walls in strict compliance with the wall height
req uirements.
Furthermore, the ERWSD has granted formal easements for
permanent access across its property between Vail Resort's
maintenance facilities and the proposed snowcat access road.
Additionally, Tract K is identified as "TOV Owned Lands/Open
Space Use" by the Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan
and no future development of the site is anticipated.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal
interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is
necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of
treatment among sites in the vicinity or to attain the
objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege.
Staff believes this proposed variance request involves "exceptions
or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
same sife of the vaiance that do not apply generally to other
properties in the same zone" as this proposal is associated with
the construction of an access road to the ski mountain and not the
construction of a residential or commercial development project.
Pursuant to Chapter 14-6, Vail Town Code, the proposed retaining
walls may not exceed six feet (6') in height unless the proposed
walls are located within a street right-of-way. Within a street right-
of-way, retaining wall heights may exceed six feet (6') in height
without a variance. Examples of retaining walls greater than six
feet (6') in height can be found throughout the Town of Vail's right-
of-ways. The proposed snowcat access road will be located on
Town of Vail owned property; however, it will not be located within
a designated street right-of-way, and will therefore require a
retaining wall height variance.
B.
The applicant has explored design alternatives with retaining walls
not exceeding six feet (6') in height. The applicant has
demonstrated that due to the steepness of Tract K, in some
locations along the snowcat access road a series of tiered six foot
walls may be feasible; however, the use of a series of walls
creates significantly more disturbance to the existing hillside than
single cut and fill wall. The applicant has also demonstrated that
in some locations along the snowcat access road, six foot tiered
retaining walls may require terracing the entire hillside to "catch
grade." Therefore, Staff believes the proposed additional retaining
wall height associated with this snowcat access road design will
reduce the amount of necessary site dislurbance when compared
to designs using tiered walls in strict compliance with the wall
height requirements.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air,
distribution of population, transportation and traffic facilities,
public facilities and utilities, and public safety.
Staff believes the proposed retaining wall height variance will not
have a significant negative impact on the light and air, distribution
of population, public facilities and utilities. Staff believes that the
proposed re-routing of Vail Resorts' snowcat access will have a
positive affect on transportation, traffic facilities, and public safety;
since Vail Resort's maintenance vehicle traffic will be no longer
occur on a public street (i.e. West Forest Road) through a
residential neighborhood.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems
applicable to the proposed variance
At its March 3, 2004, hearing the Design Review Board
conceptually.reviewed the snowcat access proposal. The Design
Review Board discussed the proposed access road design,
retaining wall designs, bridge design, and landscaping plan
design; and at the conclusion of these discussions, the Design
Review Board was supportive of the applicanf s proposal.
The Planninq and Environmental Commission shall make the followinq
findinqs before granting a variance:
1. That the granting of the variance will not
special privilege inconsistent with the
properties classified in the same district.
That the granting of the variance will not
public health, safety or welfare, or materially
or improvements in the vicinity.
That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following
reasons:
constitute a grant of
limitations on other
be detrimental to the
injurious to properties
2.
J.
tx.
a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the
specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or
unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the
objectives of this title.
b. There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that
do not apply generally to other properlies in the same
zone.
c. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified
regulation would deprive the applicant of privileges
enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same
district.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends approval, with
conditions, of a variance from Chapter 14-6, Grading Standards, Vail Town
Code, to allow for retaining walls in excess of six (6) feet in height, located at
Tract K, Glen Lyon Subdivision and Unplatted Parcels. Staffs recommendation
is based upon the review of the criteria in Section Vlll of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, subject to the following findings:
1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a granting of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in
the same district.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
3. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship
inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
4. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties in the same district.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this
variance request, the Community Development Department recommends the

DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
Vail Resorts is requesting that the Vail Town Council approve of an easement which will
allow the construction of a bridge that would support a water line. lt would also provid€

Bill Gibson
Vail Resorts Development is proposing to construct a new snowcat access road between the Vail
Resorts maintenance facility and Vail Mountain, generally located south of the Eagle River Water
and Sanitation District (ERWSD) and Vail Amoco sites (846 West Forest Road and 934 South
Frontage Road) to the Westin-Ho trail/catwalk. There are several legal procedures that must be
completed byVail Resorts Development before construction of this project can begin (i.e. Town of
Vail retaining wall variance approval, Town of Vail design review approval, conveyance of
easements, resolution of private covenant issues, etc.)
One of these required legal procedures is for Vail Resorts Development to acquire Town of Vail
approval of a variance for retiaining walls in excess of the height limits prescribed by the Town
Code. On March 8, 2004, the Planning and Environmental Commission granted approval of the
variance request, which was later "called-up" for review by the Town Council. This "call-up" was
scheduf ed for review by the Town Council on April 6,2004. On April 6,2004, the Town Council
tabled the "call-up" of the Planning and Environmental Commission decision to the April 20,2004,
Town Council evening meeting.
As this is only one of many required legal procedures Vail Resorts Development must complete,
should the Town Council choose to uphold the Planning and Environmental Commission's variance
approval, Vail Resorts Development will not be able to begin construction of this project until all
other required legal procedures have been finalized.

March 8, 2004
A request for final review of a variance from Chapter 14-6, Grading Standards,
Vail Town Code, to allow for retaining walls in excess of six (6) feet in height,
located at Tract K, Glen Lyon Subdivision and Unplatted Parcels, a more
complete metes and bounds description is available at the Community
Development Department and setting forth details in regard thereto.

SUMMARY
The applicant, Vail Resort Development, is requesting a variance from Chapter
14-6, Grading Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow for retaining walls in excess
of six (6) feet in height, located at Tract K, Glen Lyon Subdivision and Unplatted
Parcels to facilitate the construction of a new snowcat access road generally
located south of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD) and Vail
Amoco sites (846 West Forest Road and 934 South Frontage Road) to the
Westin-Ho trail/catwalk.
Based upon Staffs review of the criteria in Section Vlll of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends approval, with conditions, of a variance to allow the construction
of retaining walls in excess of six (6) feet in height subject to the findings and
conditions noted in Section lX of this memorandum.
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant is proposing to construct a new snowcat access road generally
located south of the ERWSD and Vail Amoco sites (846 West Forest Road and
934 South Frontage Road). This proposal will facilitate the re-routing of Vail
Resorts' winter mountain maintenance traffic from West Forest Road to this new
access road. This new access route will start from the western driveway of the
Vail Resorts maintenance facility, cross South Frontage Road and continue south
along the western ERWSD property line, bridge across Gore Creek, continue
southwest across Town of Vail owned Tract K. and connect to the Westin-Ho
trail/catwa lk.
The proposed access road will be a 2S-foot wide gravel road surface. Due to the
steepness of slopes on Tract K, the proposed access road will have finished
grades as steep as 16% and will require the construction of both cut and fill
retaining walls. At their tallest points, the cut walls will be approximately 14 feet

Design Review Board:
Action: The Design Review Board has NO review authority on a variance, but
must review any accompanying Design Review Board application.
Town Council:
Actions of Design Review Board or Planning and Environmental Commission
may be appealed to the Town Council or by the Town Council. Town Council
evaluates whether or not the Planning and Environmental Commission or Design
Review Board erred with approvals or denials and can uphold, uphold with
modifications, or overtum the board's decision.
Staff:
The staff is responsible for ensuring that all submittal requirements are provided
and plans conform to the technical requirements of the Zoning Regulations. The
staff also advises the applicant as to compliance with the design guidelines.
Staff provides a staff memorandum containing background on the property and
provides a staff evaluation of the project with respect to the required criteria and
findings, and a recommendation on approval, approval with conditions, or denial.
Staff also facilitates the review process.
APPLICABLE PLANN!NG DOCUMENTS
Staff believes that the following provisions of the Vail Town Code are relevant to
the review of this proposal:
V.
VIII. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
The review criteria for a request of this nature are established by Chapter 12-16,
Vail Town Code.
A. Consideration of Factors Reqardinq the Setback Variances:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or
potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
Staff does not believe the granting of this variance will have
significant negative impacts to existing or potential uses and
structures in the vicinity. Similar retaining walls have previously
been constructed in association with other access projects such
as the nearby pedestrian and skier bridges. Due to the steepnessof this site, the proposed additional retaining wall height
associated with this snowcat access road design will reduce the
amount of site disturbance to the hillside when compared to
designs using tiered walls in strict compliance with the wall height
requirements.
Furthermore, the ERWSD has granted formal easements for
permanent access across its property between Vail Resort's
maintenance facilities and the proposed snowcat access road.
Additionally, Tract K is identified as "TOV Owned Lands/Open
Space Use" by the Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan
and no future development of the site is anticipated.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict and literal
interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is
necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of
treatment among sites in the vicinity or to aftain the
objectives of this title without a grant of special privilege.
Staff believes this proposed variance request involves 'exceptions
or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
same sife of the vaiance that do not apply generally to other
properlies in the same zone" as this proposal is associated with
the construction of an access road to the ski mountain and not the
construction of a residential or commercial development project.
Pursuant to Chapter 14-6, Vail Town Code, the proposed retaining
walls may not exceed six feet (6') in height unless the proposed
walls are located within a street right-of-way. Within a street right-
of-way, retaining wall heights may exceed six feet (6') in height
without a variance. Examples of retaining walls greater than six
feet (6') in height can be found throughout the Town of Vail's right-
of-ways. The proposed snowcat access road will be located on
Town of Vail owned property; however, it will not be located within
a designated street right-of-way, and will therefore require a
retaining wall height variance.
lx.
b.
The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the
specified regulation would result in practical difficulty or
unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the
objectives of this title.
There are exceptions or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the same site of the variance that
do not apply generally to other properties in the same
zone.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends approval, with
conditions, of a variance from Chapter 14-6, Grading Standards, Vail Town
Code, to allow for retaining walls in excess of six (6) feet in height, located at
Tract K, Glen Lyon Subdivision and Unplatted Parcels. Staffs recommendation
is based upon the review of the criteria in Section Vlll of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, subject to the following findings:
1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a granting of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in
the same district.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
3. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship
inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
4. The strict interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation would
deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties in the same district.
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to approve this
variance request, the Community Development Department recommends the
following conditions:
1. This variance request approval shall be contingent upon the applicant
receiving Town of Vail design review approval of the associated design
review application.
Attachment: A
Response
The T own h as i dentified a goal of r emoving s nowcat access from WestForest
Road (i.e. Lionshead Master Plan). This new access road will result in the
removal of snowcats from West Forest Road.
2. Toposraphic Survev
Response
A topographic survey has been provided in the plan set.
3. All plans must also be submitted in 8.5" x I l" reduced format.
Response
Reduced plans will be provided prior to disnibution of the PEC packet.
4. Landscape Plan
Response
A landscape plan is included in the plan set.
5. Site Plan
. Show percent slope ofthe road and spot elevations as necessary along the centerline
ofthe road to accurately reflect grade.
. Show proposed surface drainage on and off-site.
e Show location of limits of disturbance fencins.
Response
Limits of disturbance is depicted on the site plan. Drainage improvernents are depicted
on the site plan. Arrows have been added indicating where water is being directed. The
site plan depicts 2' contours the entire length of the access way, we assume that this
should satisfy your request for spot elevations. Road grades are depicted on the profile of
the access way (see sheet 4)
6. Architectural Elevations
. All elevations of the proposed development drawn to scale and fully dimensioned.
The elevation drawings must show both existing and finished grades.
. Path profiles must be drawn at the same vertical and horizontal scale.
. All exterior materials and colors shall be specified on the elevations.
Review Criteria-Variance to 6'Retaining Wall Height
Before acting on a variance application, the Planning and Environmental Commission
shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested variance:
a. The relationship ofthe requested variance to other existing orpotential
uses and structures in the vicinitv.
Anplicant's Analvsis:
The proposed variance to wall height will provide a more sensitive design
solution for the site and in doing so provide an improved relationship to
surrounding uses and structures.
Given the existing grades ofthe hillside surrounding the access road, if
maximum 6' high walls were used it would require three terraced walls on
the cut side (upper) of the accessway and two terraced walls on the fill
side (lower) of the accessway. This design would be much more
impactive, both physically and visually on the hillside.
The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and
enforcement ofa specified regulation is necessary to achieve
compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or
to attain the objectives ofthis title without grant ofspecial privilege.
Applicant's Analysis:
The existing grade of the hillside and the width of the proposed snowcat
access road are the two factors most directly ilfluencing the height of the
proposed retaining walls. The width of the road has been minimized to the
extent feasible while still allowing for adequate drainage and safe passage.
The design of the walls has been done in order to balance the degree of cut
and frll slopes.
The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and
utilities, and public safety.
Applicant's Analvsis:
The proposed variance will have little, if any, affect on any of the above
criteria. The wall variance will, however, allow for a land use (the new
snowcat access) that will irnprove public safety by removing snowcat
traffic from West Forest Road.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report Presents the results ofa geoteclurical investigation and engineering geology study for the
forest road snowcat bypass for Vail Mountain, on behalf of Vail Resorts Development Company
ryRDC). VRDC's curent concept for the road is a cut and fill construction with unpaved finished
sutface, with cut and fill retaining walls as needed. In addition, a bridge will be constructed to cross
over Gore Creek. The purpose of the study is to provide preliminary recommendations regarding
engineering geology and potential geologic hazard conditions of the prope(y along with
recommendations for bridge foundations, abutments, retaining wall design parameters, identification
of potential wall types with a discussion of the applicability of each q,pe, and recommendations for
final roadway design.

3.0 SUBSURFACE GEOTECIINICAL II.IYESTIGATION
3.1 Subsurface Drilling Program
The drilling program was conducted during the weeks of October 13 and October 20,2003 by Golder
Associates Inc. (Golder) and the drilling subcontactor, Spectrum Exploration lncorporated. The
drilling progam consisted of drilling a total offive boreholes at the locations shown on Figure l, and
installing one piezometer and two inclinometers. The results of the drilling progam and iaboratory
tests were used to determine the physical characteristics ofthe subsurface materials at the site.
The boreholes were drilled using ODEX methods in the overburden soils to depths ranging between
25 and 50 feet, followed by 2.5-in. ID HQ core drilling into bedrock. Standard penefiation test (SPT)
samples lvere collected./attempted in the overburden, but the rocky subsurface conditions limited
testing and recovery. Contractom and others reviewing this work should note that this ODEX drilling
method allolvs penetration of maerials that would frequently cause refusal to auger rigs. SPT
blorvcounts in the ODEX borings may also be influenced by the ODEX method. Contractors are
urged to interpret data from these borings with caution.
ln general, the boreholes encountered gravelly colluvial soils or landslide deposits over sandstone,
siltstone, and shale of the Minturn Formation. Th.icknesses of colluvial soils and landslide deposits
that may excavate as soils are expected to be quite variable. The colluvial deposits are characterized
as compact to very dense silty sand and silty gravel, with cobbles and boulders. Landslide deposits
have the same charater as the colluvium, or may exist essentially as relatively intact bedrock. The
bedrock encountered below the colluvium in the boreholes was slightly to highly weathered,
exffemely weak to strong, tan to gray sandstone with some shale and limestone. Groundwater was
encountered near Gore Creek during drilling of boreholes SCB1 and SCB2 at 15 and 22 feet
respectiveiy. Groundwater was not encountered in the boreholes drilled on the slope along the
proposed road alignment. The borehole logs are presented in Appendix A, with the borehole
locations shown on Fisure I .
3.2 Laboratory Testing
Samples obtained from the field program were collected, tested, and analyzed for index properties
(Atterberg limits and grain size distribution), and shear strength at Golder's laboratory in Denver,

4.0 ENGINEERINGGEOLOGY
This section of the report describes observed engineering geologic conditions at the site that are
pertinent to site planning and development. Approximate locations of some features observed are
shown on Fisure l.
4.1 GeologicEnvironment
In'conjunction with the field reconnaissance, we reviewed available published information for the
area, including tbe U.S. Geological Survey's 2002 Geologic Map of the Vaii West euadraagle, Eagle
- County, Colorado (Scott, Lidke, Grunwald 2002). :
Most of the area is covered with overburden soils overlying Mintum Formation sedimentary bedrock
that dips approximately north-northwes! in a similar direction and grade as the grognd slope.
The study area is characterized by dip slope topography, with rhe slope dipping about 20 to
30 degrees to the northwest. The USGS geotogic map shows the slope covered with coliuvjum,
below an area which has been identifred as a quaternary landslide feature. Most likely this large
feature has not been active in a recent time frame- However, the slope within the area of interest also
has geomorphic features indicative of landslide activity. Some conditions may exist or could develop
which could result in localized stability concems, either naturally or as a result of site modifications
associated with development.
The thickness of colluvial soil and landslide deposits overlyilg bedrock appea$ to be variable. In
mary cases' landslide deposits may exist as relatively intact, but displaced bedrock.
4-2 SiteReconnaissance Observations
A field reconnaissance of the property was made on october 14, 2003. the following section
presents the results of field reconnaissance. In a few locations, specific conditions were noted during
the recomaissance that couid affect the proposed road alignment. These are summarized as foilows:
' lrnmediately above the existing pump house, which is at the approximate locationof.the proposed bridge, the srope was observed to b" hu,o-o"ky and showingevidence of several smaller lobes of localized slope movements. In addition, the

Earthwork and Grading
On-site soils are suitable for use as general fill, although select granular fills may be needed for some
construction. Some processing will be required to remove the larger material such that the soil can be
placed and worked in lifts.
The large cobbles and boulders, landslide deposits, and weathered bedrock il the on site soils may
result in difficult excavation. Contractors reviewing this report to evaluate excavation difficulty
should note that an ODEX drill rig was used, which will readily penetrate materials that usually cause
refusal to an auger rig, or be difficult to to excavate with conventional earthmoving equipment. The
SPT blowcounts may also not be indicative of excavation difficulty. Rock or difficult excavation
may be encountered at any depth along the snowcat road alignment. We tberefore recommend that
the roadway construction bid package contain at least an item for difficult or rock excavation. We are
available to assist Alpine Engineering wrlh quantity estimation of this item, and other aspects of the
bid package. However, it should be noted that any aftempt to estimate a quantity of difficult
excavation is only a rough estimate, and variations from this estimate should be anticipated.
:We recommend 2H:lV or flatter for all slopes. Surface water should be drained away from all
strucRres.
5,2 Slope Stability Evaluation
A preliminary global slope stability evaluation was performed for the snow cat road. Using the
available topographic information and tentative grading plans provided by Alpine Engineering, lnc.
the existing slope geometry was modeled using the SLIDE (Rocscience 2000) software. Surveyed
topographic hformation was not available for the complete slope, so some of the topographic
information generated by aerial survey was used to complement the data. Some engineering
judgment was needed to develop an overall slope geometry using the two data sets. The evaluation of
the existing slope was compared to an additional model which included the modifications required for
construction of the snow cat road. The results of the fwo analyses show that, construction
modifications to tbe slope do not result in a decrease of the overall slope stability and may improve

I VISE walls appear to be feasible for the fill side retaining walls. Near surface soils encountered in theI
borings are variable in consistency, but often very rocky. With processing it appears that they couJd
fI be used for MSE fill; they generally do not appear to be excessively plastic or to have high clayI
contents. The primary consideration will be excavation difficuity, and'processing as needed to
I remove oversized rocks from the MSE fills.!
i An internai drain system, at approximately the back of the lowest reinforcing layer (or the "heel" ofI' the wall) should be provided. This drain should consist ofat least a 4-inch slotted pipe embedded in
I clean gravel, fabric wrapped, and sloped to a suitable outfall. Wall design parameters areII r"commended as follows:
Friction Angle 34 degrees
Cohesion 0
Unit Weight 125 pcf
Ir The following criteria, which are independent of backfrll type, may also be utilized:
II . Minimum Reinforcement Lengtl: 0.7xTotal Wall Height;
il . Minimum Footing Depth: 18 inches;I
. Factor ofSafety for Sliding: 1.5;
. Factor of Safety for Ovemrrning: 2.0;
. Factor of Safety for Bearing Capacity: consider as part of global stability
analysis.
Additional criteria such as required geoslnthetic strength, interaction coefficients, and rna.rimum
I uertical spacing of reinforcing layers will be determined during lvall desip. Wall elevations (profiles
I
along the roadway) with reinforcement layout should be provided with the design, as well as
specifications for the wall construction.

5.4 Bridge Foundations and Related Geotechnical Issues
Foundations
The conditions encountered il the boreholes suggest that several altemate foundation systems may be
considered for structures on this site. Final selection of foundation type and design parameters will
depend on a number of factors, including:
. . Soil or rock conditions at tbe specific structure location;
. Elevations, geometry, and bridge hydraulics; and
. Performanceexpectations
In discussions with the bridge desiper, Ivlr. Bill Rose, a subconsultant to Brown and Caldwell, we
have jointly agreed that driven H-piles are appropriate for the north abutment foundation, and a
footing supported on an MSE wall is appropriate for the south abutrnent.
H-Piles. North Abutment
Steel H-piles, driven to substantial refusal ia the underlying bedrock may be designed for full axial
structural capacities (AASHTO recommends 9 ksi). Such a foundation would be highly scour
resistant, and could likely be desigred to provide good lateral restraint. A potential drawback to this
foundation type is that boulders in the overburden soil t)?es are likely to lead to early refusal, unless
the pile locations are pre-augered. Pre-augering and drive shoes are reconmended. Pile lengths of25
to 35 feet (vertically) would likely be requied ftased on current ground surface elevation) to
penetrate the bedrock surface and achieve fuIl capactiy. Driving criteria and capacites should be
confirmed by wave equation analysis. Wave equation analyses are also recommended to avoid
overstressing piles in hard driving.

portion of the MSE wall supporting the bridge footirg must be designed to accommodate the
significant surcharge loads applied by the footing. Elements of the this design will include higher
strength, closer spaced, and longer earth reinforcing elements; as well as more stringent compaction
criteria or select granular fill. Also, it should be recogrized that differential settlement is likely,
between the two abutments, since one involves deep foundation on rock, and the other does not.
Based on our experience, and anaiyses conducted on bther projects, we expect that I to 2 inches of
differential settlement are Possible.
We expect to provide a foliow-up proposal to VRDC to add desip of walls for the bike path and
abutment in this location to our design scope of work for this project.
Aooroach Fills
The discussion presented in Section 5.1 is applicable to the approach fills for the proposed bridge-
Special attention should be given to compaction of approach fills if the bridge does not also rest on
fill, but uses a foundation type bearing on bedrock. If project performance criteria includes smooth
transitions from apporoach fiils to the bridge structure for vehicular traffic, compaction of the
approach fi11 to 98 to 100% standard proctor maximum density to reduce settlement on the bridge
approach could be considered. However, if use of this road is limited to snow cats and snow rnobiles,
this is not necessary, in our opinion, as these vehicles only use the road and bridge when there is
substantive snow cover, which wouid most likely mask the affects of any minor differential
settlement.
5.5 Future Geotechnical Work
In accordance with Vail Resorts' direction, we are prepared to proceed with retaining wall design.
We are available as needed to meet with other designers regarding this report and the project.
euality assurance testing of filI soils, pavement materials, and concrete will be required. Qualifred
inspection of embankment construction, excavations, cuts, foundation installation, and retaining wall
c onstruction is also recommended.

Dear SirMadam;
My late husband and I purchasod the home on 616 Forest Road in 1968. At the time it was one of three
houses on the road, Lionshead did not exist, and wo loved the silearce and the serenity of the area.
There have been a lot of changes to the a.rea since then but the one constant is that my George and I
understood how important skiing is to Vail. When Vail Assooiates first wanted to use our road for snow
operations, my husband met with other neighbon to allow the use rather than take the company and Town
to court. He was a man of groat integrity and wanted to do what was best for the people in Vail.
Since thit time, West Forest Road has, at times, become a Panzer division of snow cats. But, we never
regretted our stand on the issue. We knew that Vail neodod the snow cats, As early rtsidents of this great
town we did our part.
Now, my understanding is that there's art enorrnous renaissance planned for Lionshead, and coupled with
the new shops, and buildings is a proposal to move the snow oat operatron away from our neighborhood
where very fcw if anypeople would see it - at no cost to the Town of Vail. I ask you to allow Vail
Resorts to proceed with rhis endeavor, if nothing clse, as a thank you to those of us on West Forest Road
who choose to live with the operation for the good of the commrurity.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir/Madam:
My name is Jim Cannon. My parents have owned the 616 Forest Road home for thirty-five years.
The purpose of this letter is to encourage you to moVe the Vail Mountain snow and mountain
operations away from West Forest Road.
West Forest road is a quirky neighborhood. lt is one of the oldest in Vail. People walk up and
down the road to ski or shop in Lionshead. There are kids playing in driveways and people skiing
down the road. And with the addition of four new single family homes and the new pedestrian
friendly ski bridge, the area surely will become even busier.
Unfortunately, Vail mountain operations also use this road for mountain access. l.have personally
witnessed snow cats passing people with skis on their shoulders, narrowly missing them. lt is not
the driver's of the snow cats fault, they are world class drivers, it is simply the nature of the street.
There are no turnouts. People come and go down the road either by car, foot or skis at odd times
making navigation around them by snow cats dicey. This year, attorney Art Abplanalp, asked Vail
Resorts to stop storing snow cats and dozens of snow mobiles on the road and the old tennis court
site. Obviously this area is not zoned for heavy equipment but it is hard to blame the drivers and
their supervisors who want to minimize driving through the neighborhood.
Fortunately, Vail Resorts is leading the effoft of removing Vail mountain operations from this
neighborlrood. The fact that they are going to pay for an entire new access up the mountain is
exemplary. lt is my hope that the Town Council is also supportive of their efforts. In this spirit, I
hope the Town of Vail grants Vail Resofts its new access route and thank you for supporting the
West Forest Road neighborhood. :

Dear Members:
As a resident of Forest Road and in advance of the Town Council
meeting on April 6h, I would like to voice my strong position in
support of the relocation of the Vail Resorts Snow-Cat Access from
West Forest Road.
In addition to the obvious adverse effects of the Snow'Cat Access
from West Forest Road such as the noise and the nuisance factor, the
physical safety of our residents should be of great concern- | oppose
this intrusion on our othenrise safe and serene neighborhood.
The termination of snow-cat use of West Forest Road to a new road
at a location where it can be seen by virtually no one would cerlainly
seem the obvious solution to this significant problem.
I would appreciate Your helP.

RE: Revised DRB Application/Snow Cat Access
Dear Bill.
As you know, during their March 3d meeting the DRB asked us to evaluate altematives to a
number ofaspects ofthe snow cat access project. These included the concrete color, landscaping
along Gore Creek adjacent to the proposed vault, guard rails, and the possibility of"artistic"
treatment on retaining walls. We have considered each of these items and will be prepared to
discuss them with the Board on the l7th.
Concrete is proposed to be colored a medium-dark brown. The bridge deck will be intregal
concrete (the color is "Kahlua-677"),by Davis Concrete. All other concrete will be stained to
match the "Kahlua".
A revised landscape plan dated 3/12/04 is attached. This plan reflects changes we discussed last
week and changes to the area adj acent to the vault. This plan would supercede a previously
submitted landscape plan dated 2/23/04.
Let me know if there is anything else you need. We look forward to obtaining our final DRB
approvals on Wednesday. Following DRB approval we will provide additional information
requested by Chad prior to construction and will also have the alignment staked (limits of
disturbance, etc.) as stipulated by our PEC condition ofapproval.

RE: Response to 2/17 Letter, re: snowcat access retaining wall height variance
Dear Bill,
Thank you for your letter of February I 7'h regarding the staff s review of the retaining wall
variance request. Enclosed you will find a revised set of plans. So you have a clear idea of our
response to your questions, below I have copied your letter verbatim and provided a response to
each issue you have raised.
l. Written Statements
o A "written description of the nature of the variance requested and the specific
regulation(s) involved, including an explanation ofwhy the variance is required and
why the strict or literal interpretation of the specifc regulation(s) would result in a
physical hardship or practical dfficulty. "
Response
The specific regulation involved is found on page 19 of the Development
Standards Handbook which limits the height of retaining walls to 6'. The
retaining wall is needed in order to construct a new snowcat access road to Vail
Mountain. Proposed wall heights vary along the length of the cut and fill walls
and are depicted on the wall elevations plans that have been provided under
separate cover. Given the existing grades ofthe hillside surrounding the access
road, if maximum 6' high walls were used it would require three terraced walls on
the cut side (upper) of the accessway and two terraced walls on the fill side
(lower) of the accessway. This design would be much more impactive, both
physically and visually on the hillside and present a practical difficulty.
. A written statement addressing: "d. Hov,the request complies with adopted Town of
Vail planning policies and development objectives. "

Response
The Town has identified a goal of removing snowcat access from West Forest
Road (i.e. Lionshead Master Plan). This new access road will result in the
removal of snowcats from West Forest Road.
2. Topoeranhic Survev
Response
A topographic survey has been provided in the plan set.
3. All plans must also be submitted in 8.5" x 11" reduced format.
Response
Reduced plans will be provided prior to distribution of the PEC packet.
4. Landscape Plan
Response
A landscape plan is included in the plan set.
5. Site Plan
. Show percent slope ofthe road and spot elevations as necessary along the centerline
ofthe road to accurately reflect grade.
o Show proposed surface drainage on and off-site.
o Show location of limits of disturbance fencing.
Response
Limits of disturbance is depicted on the site plan. Drainage improvements are depicted
on the site plan. Arows have been added indicating where water is being directed. The
site plan depicts 2' contours the entire length of the access way, we assume that this
should satisfy your request for spot elevations. Road grades are depicted on the profile of
the access way (see sheet 4)
6. Architectural Elevations
r All elevations of the proposed development drawn to scale and fully dimensioned.
The elevation drawings must show both existing and finished grades.
r Path profiles must be drawn at the same vertical and horizontal scale.
o All exterior materials and colors shall be specified on the elevations.
Response
Wall elevations are drawn to scale and with the same vertical and horizontal scale.
Profile information is provided on the elevations in order to provide dimension
information. The material proposed is Keystone Block. Color of the block will be
provided via material sample at the PEC meeting. It should be noted that we are current
evaluating an altemative wall material and should have a decision on this material in the
next few days. As you know, we are in the process of putting together a DRB application
for this project. If a change to wall material is made, it will be defined in our DRB
application.
Thanks Bill, I hope this takes care ofthe questions regarding this application.

Review Criteria-Variance to 6' Retaining Wall Ileight
Before acting on a variance application, the Planning and Environmental Commission
shall consider the following factors with respect to the requested variance:
a. The relationship ofthe requested variance to other existing or potential
uses and structures in the vicinity.
Applicant's Analvsis:
The proposed variance to wall height will provide a more sensitive design
solution for the site and in doing so provide an improved relationship to
surrounding uses and structures.
Given the existing grades ofthe hillside surrounding the access road, if
maximum 6' high walls were used it would require three terraced walls on
the cut side (upper) of the accessway and two terraced walls on the fill
side (lower) of the accessway. This design would be much more
impactive, both physically and visually on the hillside.
b. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and
enforcement ofa specified regulation is necessary to achieve
compatibility and uniformity of heatment among sites in the vicinity, or
to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege.
Applicant's Analvsis:
The existing grade of the hillside and the width of the proposed snowcat
access road are the two factors most directly influencing the height of the
proposed retaining walls. The width of the road has been minimized to the
extent feasible while still allowing for adequate drainage and safe passage.
The design ofthe walls has been done in order to balance the degree ofcut
and frll slopes.
c. The effect ofthe requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and
utilities, and public safety.
Applicant's Analvsis:
The proposed variance will have little, if any, affect on any of the above
criteria. The wall variance will, however, allow for a land use (the new
snowcat access) that will improve public safety by removing snowcat
traffic from West Forest Road.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a geotechnical investigation and engineering geology shrdy for the
forest road snowcat bypass for Vail Mountain, on behalf of Vail Resorts Development Company
(VRDC). VRDC's current concept for the road is a cut and fill construction with unpaved finished
surface, with cut and fill retaining walls as needed. In addition, a bridge will be constructed to cross
over Gore Creek. The purpose of the study is to provide preliminary recommendations regarding
engineering geology and potential geologic hazard conditions of the property along with
recommendations for bridge foundations, abutnents, retaining wall design parameters, identification
of potential wall types with a discussion of the applicability of each type, nd recommendations for
final roadway design.

2.0 PROJECT BACKGROIJND
2.1 Background
The site is located south of the town of Vail, to tlre west of Forest Road in Eagle County- Colorado.
The snowcat road, to be used by ski slope maintenance equipment, trends soufh over Gore Creek,
then tums to the southwest and gains elevation to interest an edsting forest road at an elevation
140 feet above Gore Creek. The road will require conskuction of a bridge where it crosses over Gore
Creek- Retaining walls will also be used to construct the road and potentially parts of the bridge
abutments.
22 Scope ofWork
The scope of work for the study included preliminary field reconnaissance, a subsurface drilling
investigation with installation of piezometers and inclinometers, laboratory testing, and a preliminary
report of geotechnical conditions including a working stability model of the slope. The purpose of the
report is to provide a preliminary evaluation of geologic and geotechnical conditions for planning of
the site layout and bridge design information.
23 Information from Previow Studies
Previous shrdies have been completed for the snow cat road bridge site by Koechlein Consulting
Engineers (see Section 7.0, References). This report recommended the snow cat bridge be
conskucted using either spread footings or piles for the foundation, and that furtber investigation of
the fill materials on the north side of Gore Creek be done. This previous study did not do any
subsurface investigation south of Gore Creek or provide any recornmendations otler than those
associated with bridge construction.

3.0 SUBSI]Rtr'ACE GEOTECIIMCAL II{YESTIGATION
3.1 Subsurface Drilling Program
The drilling program was conducted during the weeks of October 13 and October 20, 2003 by Golder
Associates hrc. (Golder) and the drilling subcontractor, Speckum Exploration Incorporated. The
drilling program consisted of drilling a total of five boreholes at the locations shown on Figure 1, and
installing one piezometer and two inclinometers. The results of the drilling program and laboratory
tests were used to determine tle physical characteristics ofthe subsurface materials at the site.
The boreholes were drilled using ODEX methods in the overburden soils to depths ranging between
25 and 50 fee! followed by 2.5-in. ID HQ core drilling into bedrock. Standard penetration test (SPT)
samples were collected./attempted in the overburden, but the rocky subsurface conditions limited
testing and recovery. Contractors and others reviewing this work should note that this ODEX drining
method allows penetration of maerials that would frequently cause refusal to auger rigs. SPT
blowcounts in the ODEX borings may also be influenced by the ODEX method. Contractors are
urged to interpret data from these borings with caution-
In general, the boreholes encountered gravelly colluvial soils or landslide deposits over sandstone,
siltstone, and shale of the Minturn Formation. Thicknesses of colluvial soils and landslide deposits
that may excavate as soils are expected to be quite variable. The colluvial deposits are characterized
as compact to very dense silty sand and silty gravel, with cobbles and boulders. Landslide deposits
have the same charater as the colluvium, or may exist essentially as relatively intact bedrock. The
bedrock encountered 6elow the colluviurn in the boreholes was slightly to highly weathered,
extremely weak to strong, tan to gray sandstone with some shale and limestone. Groundwater was
encountered near Gore Creek during drilling of boreholes SCBI and SCBZ at 15 and 22 feet
respectively. Groundwater was not encountered in the boreholes drilled on the slope along the
proposed road alignment. The borehole logs are presented in Appendix Ao with the borehole
locations shown on Fizure l.
Laboratory Testing
Samples obtained from the field program were collected, testeq
(Atterberg limits and gain size distribution), and shear strength
and analyzed for index properties
at Golder's laboratory in Denver,

Colorado in accordance with applicable ASTM standards. Selected samples were classified
according to ASTM D2487 based on the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).
The results of tle laboratory testing are presented in Appendix B. Index testing was performed on
samples of the colluvium overlying the bedrock. The insitu moisture content ranged fron 2.6% to
6.1Yo on the borings in the slope, with moisture contents up to l4.3Yo closer to Gore Creek in the
Bridge foundation investigation borings. The liquid limits ranged from 20 to 23 and the plastic index
ranged from 5 to I l. The material was measured to have a pH from 7.7 to 7.9, a resistivity from
5165.3 to 7215.0 ohm+m, and a soluble sulfate content from 0.001% to 0.002Yo.
A suite of direct shear tests was performed on samples of the colluvial silty gravel - silty sand
material. The results of the direct shear testing indicated a shear strength angle of 38 degrees with
low cohesion.

4.0 ENGIMERING GEOLOGY
This section of the report describes observed engineering geologic conditions at the site that are
Pertinent to site planaing and development. Approximate locations of some features observed are
shown on Figure l.
4.1 GeologicEnyironment
In conjunction with the field reconnaissance, we reviewed available published information for the
are4 including the U.S. Geological Survey's 2002 Geologic Map of the Vail West euadrangle, Eagle
County, Colorado (Scot! Lidke, Grunwald 2002).
Most of the area is covered with overburden soils overlying Mintum Formation sedimentary bedrock
that dips approximately north-northwesl in a similar direction and grade as the ground slope.
The study area is characterized by dip slope topography, with the slope dipping about 20 to
30 degrees to tle northwest' The USGS geologic map shows the slope covered with colluvium,
below an area which has been identified as a quatemary landslide feature. Most likely this large
feature has not been active in a recent time frame. However, the slope within the area of interest also
has geomorphic features indicative of landslide activity. Some conditions may exist or could develop
which could result in localized. stabilify concems, either naturally or as a result of site modifications
associated with development.
The thickness of colluvial soil and landslide deposits overlying bedrock appean to be variable. In
many cases, laldslide deposits may exist as relatively intact, but displaced bedrock.
Site Reconnaissance Observations
A field reconnaissance of the property was made on October 14, 2003. The following section
presents the results of field reconnaissance. In a few locations, specific conditions were noted during
the reconnaissance that could affect the proposed road alignment. These are summarized as follows:
r Tmmediately abovetre existing pump house, which is at the approximate locationof-the proposed bridge, the slope was observed to be hummocky and showing
evidence of several smaller lobes of localized slope movements. in addition, thi

December 2003 -6-033-2125
aspen growttr pattems suggest soil creep is also occurring between the existing
pump house and the existing forest road.
. The existing slope, where tJre snowcat road will steeply climb between the
proposed bridge and ttre existing forest road, was observed to have older large
landslide features. The tie in with the existing forest road appears to be located
on a bench formed by the top of a slump block, There is another horizontal
bench below this, where Borehole SCR-3 was drilled, which also appears to be
the top of another slump block. These appear to be part of the enechelon failure
block of the larger landslide feature mapped on the USGS maps. The exposed
soils and drilling suggests these failures occurred within the colluvial soils.
o The slope above the existing forest road is likely part of the older large slump
block complex, and is covered with mature trees. Exposures on the slope show
colluvial soils, possibly deposited through landslide movement judging by the
material's random orientation.

5.0 GEOTECHMCAL RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 Earthwork and Grading
On-site soils are suitable for use as general fill, although select granular fills may be needed for some
construction. Some processing will be required to remove the larger material such that the soil can be
placed and worked in lifts.
The large cobbles and boulders, landslide deposits, and weathered bedrock in the on site soils may
result in difficult excavation. Conhactors reviewing this report to evaluate excavation difficulty
should note that an ODEX drill rig was used, which will readily penetrate materials that usually cause
refusal to an auger rig, or be difficult to to excavate with conventional earthmoving equipment. The
SPT blowcounts may also not be indicative of excavation difficulty. Rock or difficult excavation
may be encountered at any depth along the snowcat road alignment. We therefore recommend that
the roadway construction bid package contain at least an item for difficult or rock excavation. We are
available to assist Alpine Engineering with quantrty estimation of this item, and otler aspects of the
bid package. However, it should be noted that any attempt to estimate a quantity of diffcult
excavation is only a rough estimate, and variations from this estimate should be anticipated.
We recommend 2H:lV or flatter for all slopes. Surface water should be drained away from all
strucfures.
5.2 Slope Stability Evaluation
A preliminary global slope stability evaluation was performed for tle snow cat road. Using the
available topographic infonnation aod tentative grading plans provided by Alpine Engineering, Inc.
the existing slope geometry was modeled using the SLIDE (Rocscience 2000) software. Surveyed
topographic information was not available for the complete slope, so some of the topographic
information generated by aerial survey was used to complement the data. Some engineering
judgment was needed to develop an overall slope geometry using tle two data sets. The evaluation of
the existing slope was compared to an additional model which included the modifications required for
construction of the snow cat road. The results of the two analyses show that construction
modifications to the slope do not result in a decrease of the overall slope stability and may improve
Golder Associates
December 2003 033-2125
stability slightly. This comparison is ofvital interest to the projecl since the roadway and associated
retaining walls are sited in landslide terrain.
Vail Resorts and other consultants should understand that this evaluation of global stability is not in
keeping with more conseryative routine practice for roadway design, such as prescribed by AASHTO
and others. AASHTO generally recommends a global stability safety factor of 1.25 to 1.5.
Calculated global stability safety factors for this project using the approach outlined above, are likely
to be below 1.25 in some cases. We have employed this approach on other roadway projects with
performance expectations higher than for tlis snou/ cat road, and so we believe that this approach is
reasonable and viable.
The stability analyses are presented in Appendix D. More detailed global stability analyses will be
required with final desigr of the retaining walls.
5.3 Retaining Walls
General
Pro-ject retaining walls are likely to be either MSE walls for the fill side of the roadway, and soil nail
for the cut side. Either side likely will have a rock masonry veneer, similar to other recent Vail
Resorts projects. Given the steeply sloping ground conditions, our general recommendation is that
the road layout favor cut walls somewhat over fill walls, for two reasotrs:
' Providing adequate reinforcement lengtJr for larger fill side MSE walls may drive
the "heel" ofthe excavation so far into the hillside that the foundation ofthe.cut
side wall is undermined by the excavation for the fill side wall. We have
discussed this iszue with Alpine Engineering already, and they are aware of it.
r Adequately stabilized cuts generally perform better in this type of setting than the
larger fill walls.
Specific criteria for design of either type of wall are presented below.

MSE Walls
MSE walls appear to be feasible for the fill side retaining walls. Near surface soils encountered in the
borings are variable in consistency, but often very rocky. With processing it appears that they could
be used for MSE fill; they generally do not appear to be excessively plastic or to have high clay
contents. The primary consideration will be excavation difEculty, and processing as needed to
remove oversized rocks from the MSE fiIls.
An intemal drain system, at approximately the back of the lowest reinforcing layer (or the "heel" of
the wall) should be provided. This drain should consist ofat least a 4-inch slotted pipe embedded in
clean gravel, fabric wrapped, and sloped to a suitable outfall. Wall design parameters are
recommended as follows :
Friction Angle 34 degrees
Cohesion 0
UnitWeieht 125 pcf
The following criteria, which are independent of backfrll type, may also be utilized:
r Minimum Reinforcement Length: 0.7 x Total Wall Height;
o Minimum Footing Depth: 18 inches;
o Factorof SafetyforSliding: 1.5;
o Factor of Safety for Overturnng: 2.0;
o Factor of Safety for Bearing Capacity: consider as part of global stability
analysis.
Additional criteria such as requied geosynthetic shength, interaction coefficients, and maximum
vertical spacing of reinforcing layers will be determined during wall design. Wall elevations (profiles
along the roadway) with reinforcement layout should be provided with the design, as well as
specifications for the wall construction.

Soil Nail Walls
The cut walls for the proposed snowcat road are likely to be most economical if constructed as soil
nail walls. Soil nail walls can be constructed from the top down as excavation proceeds and do not
require additional excavation for placement of wall reinforcement members. However, given the
variable ground conditions ofthe landslide deposits encountered, attention to these ground conditions
rvill be required on the part of the designer to minimize construction difficulties.
Specifically, stand-up time for the excavations may not be very good, at least where boulders or
gravels are present with few or no fines in the soil matrix. The design and specifications must
provide guidance to contractors for bidding and constructing in such conditions. Slot berms or flash
coating of the excavation face may be required.
Similarly, drill hole stability may be poor, and cased holes may be required. As was the case in the
soil nail walls at Arrowhead in 2001, communication between drill holes and/or large grout takes are
likely. The design should consider either grout socks or other methods to manage grout takes, and the
specifications and contract documents should be developed with this possibility in mind, so that
contractors can bid on and build the wails with reasonable risk and direction.
The following soil nail desigr parameters are proposed for this project:
Friction Argle 32 degees
Cohesion 25 psf
Unit Weieht 120 pcf
Unit Ultimate Bond Stress 12 psi
The unit ultimate bond stress identified above is representative ofdense sand and silty sandisandy silt
(FHWA 1998). A unit ultimate bond stress of 12 pounds per square inch (psi) results in an ultimate
pullout resistance of greater than 2 kips per foot for a drillhole diameter of 6 inches, as rvould likely
be recommended as a minimum drillhole diameter for this project.
Soil Nail designs should incorporate permanent drainage to relieve hydrostatic pressures and provide
an outlet for groundwater conditions or seepage that may develop seasonally. Other design measures

for permanent soil nail walls outlined in the Federal Highway Administration's 'Manual for Desigrr
& Construction Monitoring of Soil Nail Walls" (FI{WA 1998) should be followed in the desip.
5.4 Bridge Foundations and Related Geotechnical Issues
Foundations
The conditions encountered in the boreholes suggest that several altemate foundation systems may be
considered for shucfures on this site. Final selection of foundation type and design parameters will
depend on a number of factors, including;
. o Soil or rock conditions at the specific structur€ location;
o Elevations, geometry, andbridge hydraulics; and
o PerformanceexDectations
In discussions with the bridge desigrer, Mr. Bill Rose, a subconsultant to Brown and Caldwell, we
have jointly agreed that driven H-piles are appropriate for the north abutnent foundation, and a
footing supported on an MSE wall is appropriate for the south abutnert.
H-Piles. North Abuhnent
Steel H-piles, driven to substantial refirsal in the underlying bedrock may be designed for firll axial
structural capacities (AASHTO recommends 9 ksi). Such a foundation would be highly scour
resistaa! and could likely be designed to provide good lateral restraint. A potential drawback to this
foundation type is that boulders in the overburden soil types are likely to lead to early refusal, unless
the pile locations are pre-augered. Pre-augering and drive shoes are recommended. Pile lengths of25
to 35 feet (vertically) would likely be required (based on current ground surface elevation) to
penetrate the bedrock surface and achieve full capactiy. Driving criteria and capacites should be
confinned by wave equation analysis. Wave equation analyses are also recommended to avoid
overstressing piles in hard driving.

Pile spacings of greater than 5 effective pile diameters are recorlmended to avoid group effects. If
closer spacings are necessary, we recommend a 75 percent capacity reduction for piles spaced at 3 to
5 diameters.
In discussions with Mr. Rose, we agreed that a row of battered piles would be preferable to resist the
lateral loads imposed on the abutnent by the 8% bridge grade, rather than relying on lateral reskaint
from vertical piles. This is due to the soft, orgarric ciay layer below the north abutnent; it is possible
that the likely low stoength of this layer would affect the lateral restraint ofthe piles by the overlying
soils. By using a combination of vertical and battered piles for this abutrnent, all pile loadhgs are
axial.
Footins. South Abutment
Footings are a viable option for support of a simple span bridge, especially if they can be located to
avoid scour issues. We also have experience in the desigr of MSE abutnents to support bridge
footings, and have discussed this approach to the south abutnent with Mr. Rose. Tentatively, we
agreed that this appears to be a viable and economical altemative to construction of this abutment.
We recommend allowable bearing pressures for the bridge footin of no greater than 4 ksl bearing on
the MSE fill. The near edge of the bridge footing should be at least one foot behind the back, or
inside edge of the retaining wall face. For a one foot thick facing block, this puts the edge of the
footing 2 feet from the front face of the wall. For thicker wall faces, a somewhat greater offset would
be indicated. We intend to coordinate this issue with Mr. Rose as MSE wall svstems are evaluated.
Abutnent retainine walle
MSE walls as discussed above may be applicable for bridge abutment retaining walls. Some
consideration will have to be given to the bottom elevation of the wall type, the resistance to scour,
and ttre design flood predicted elevation. If the abutments are located at a location such that scour is
not likely to be detrimental, a MSE wall system may provide the most economical abutrnent wall. If
the abutnents are to be placed at a location where there is a high risk of scour, a cantilevered deep
foundation wall type may provide better perfonnance.
In discussions with Mr. Rose, it appears that an MSE abutment, in combination with retaining wall
replacernents along the existing bike path in this area, will be a viable and economic altemative. The

portion of the MSE wall supporting the bridge footing must be desiped to accommodate the
sigrificant surcharge loads applied by the footing. Elements of the this design will include higher
strength, closer spaced, and longer earth reinforcing elements; as well as more stringent compaction
criteria or select granular fill. Also, it should be recognized that differential settlement is likely,
between the two abutrnents, since one involves deep foundation on rock, and the other does not.
Based on our experience, and analyses conducted on otier projects, we expect that I to 2 inches of
differential settlement are possible.
We expect to provide a follow-up proposal to VRDC to add design of walls for the bike path and
abutnent in this location to our design scope of work for this project.
Approach Fills
The discussion presented in Section 5.1 is applicable to the approach fills for the proposed bridge.
Special attention should be given to compaction of approach fills ifthe bridge does not also rest on
fill, but uses a foundation qrpe bearing on bedrock. If project performance criteria includes smooth
transitions from apporoach frlls to the bridge structure for vehicular trafEc, compaction of the
approach fill to 98 to 100% standard proctor maximum density to reduce settlement on the bridge
approach could be considered. However, if use of this road is limited to snow cats and snov/ mobiles,
this is not necessary, in our opinion, as thes€ vehicles only use the road and bridge when there is
substantive snow cover, which would most likely mask the affects of any minor differential
settlement.
Future Geotechnical Work
In accordance with Vail Resorts' direction, we are pr€pared to proceed witb retaining wall design.
We are available as needed to meet with other desigrrers regarding this report and the project.
Quality assurance testing of fill soils, pavement materials, and concrete will be required. Qualified
inspection of embankment construction, excavations, cuts, foundation installation, and retaining wall
construction is also recommended.

Easementg for Snowmrllnglsnowcat Access

D,{TE:
RE:

Ar you are probably aware, the proposcd snow cat acccss and snow making pump/rauit arc partiallylocatcd on land owncd by.,ttre riwl olvait. This past zuuuner the Town isrrrcrr granted approvat for
$cse-projecls to plroceed tlrough the Town's rcvierr pnrcess, Since that time both the pEC and the DRB(conditionally) have apprcved these prdects. It is assumed that the Towni Councit's final approval ofthese projccts would be douc via affio"al of easEments that would give vuil ne5o*s tlre right to access,construct and maintain these improvements.
tht|ll ate exhibits depiglng the two easenrent that are neoeEsary for tlre projecs to proceed. A briefdescription ofeach is as follows:
htake Structure
4o *" ap'proximately 1,400 square fca is size is needed in ordcr to accommodate the intake stucturc fqtle new snow making pump vault' Improvcments in this area atso include;;; stomr seu6 outlet (thisreda-ces.a1 existing pipe)' Thc case,rneqt r,rould allow Vail ResoJthe.igrtiio r"our. this area tocoostruct (in accordance urith approved plans) these improvornents and to access the atea for ongoingmainFnance.
Snowcat Accese
This easement area isjust under one acte in sizc and provides a corridor for the proposed snow cat aocessroad' The casement extendstom tle proposed bridg! behind the wats teatc,mlnt plant to the existingwestin Ho Trail easement The easement is of suffiIient width to accornrnodatr ths access road and arcasto be diehlbed (and subsequantly re-vegetaH) dr:riag consEgotion. This easemert wo'Id allow VailResortsthe right b access this area to cinstruc't the ttad, to usc the road for motmtarn access and toaccess the aea for ongoing rbad maintenancc,
Wttl the Council's "call'up'' of the PEC rctaining wall height varisncc scheduled for thc April 6th, itwould make sense to aonsidT th_9t. easement reiuesg at the same time. oiniourrv ir tn" counciloverturns ttre PEC dccision tlrc discussion of these easements would be a mute point. However, if thecounojl upholds the PEC decision, we woutd thcn "rt m. C"*"il ;;-oij;.;ftsc ea'emenr rcqu€srsand if amenable. dircct the Town Manager to work out nnut "rscrnrntl*g,r"g. ;th vail Resorts.
We alprcciate lorn help wi0r this msttet. Please do not hcsirate to contact me with any questions youmay havc.

Dear Sir/Madam:
My name is Jim Cannon. My parents have owned the 616 Forest Road home for thirty-five years.
The purpose of this letter is to encourage you to move the Vail Mountain snow and mountain
operations away from West Forest Road.
West Forest road is a quirky neighborhood. lt is one of the oldest in Vail. People walk up and
down the road to ski or shop in Lionshead. There are kids playing in driveways and people skiing
down the road. And with the addition of four new single family homes and the new pedestrian
friendly ski bridge, the area surely will become even busier.
Unfortunately. Vail mountain operations also use this road for mountain access. I have personally
witnessed snow'cats passing people with skis on their shoulders, narrowly missing them. lt is not
the driver's of the snow cats fault, they are world class drivers, it is simply the nature of the street.
There are no turnouts. People come and go down the road either by car, foot or skis at odd times
making navigation around them by snow cats dicey. This year, attorney Art Abplanalp, asked Vail
Resorts to stop storing snow cats and dozens of snow mobiles on the road and the old tennis court
site. Obviously this area is not zoned for heavy equipment but it is hard to blame the drivers and
their supervisors who want to minimize driving through the neighborhood.
Fortunately, Vail Resofts is leading the effort of removing Vail mountain operations from this
neighborlrood. The fact that they are going to pay fur an entire new access up the mountain is
exemplary. lt is my hope that the Town Council is also supportive of their efforts. In this spirit, I
hope the Town of Vail grants Vail Resorts its new access route and thank you for supporting the ,,t.
West Forest Road neighborhood.

Re: Application of Vail Associates ("VA") to the Town of Vail ("TOV") Planning and
Environmental Commission for retaining walls in Excess of six feet in Height on Tract K
Glen Lyon Subdivision ("Glen Lyon')
Gentlemen:
Westhaven Realty LLC ("Westhaven"), the owner of Lot39-2 in the Glen Lyon
Subdivision ("Glen Lyon"), is writing this letter in opposition to the application of VA to
oonstruct a retaining wall on Tract K of Glen Lyon. Westhaven purchased Lot 39-2 at
the end of January 2003 with the express intention of constructing a private residence for
its two members, my wife and me. We expect to become long term residents in Vail and
retire in the house we are constructing and were looking forward to the peaceful solitude
offered by a private residence with a restricted national forest at its back door.
While Westhaven received a notice of the application of VA to construct a non-
complying retaining wall, the notice was defective for several reasons. First, it did not
speciff the true purpose of the retaining wall - to allow VA to construct a trail for snow
cats to ffaverse Tract K. Second, the notice sent by TOV was not sent to all of the
interested parties in Tract K - all of the private property owners in Glen Lyon.
Lot 39-2 is directly adjacent to Tract K and my wife and I were extronely concemed that
Tract K would not be developed or used for any purpose that might interfere with the
tranquility of a private residence that was protected in the rear by a ski mountain with a
natural forest. As part of our acquisition, we made note of the following:
r Tract K was owned bv TOV.
o The use and operation of Tract K and various other Tracts within Glen Lyon
were govemed by Protective Covenants of Glen Lyon Subdivision Town of Vail
Eagle. Colorado ("Covenants") acknowledged April 4, 1978 and recorded the
same date in Book 268 at Page 698 of the records of Eagle County Colorado.
Section I .4 of the Covenant specifically limited the use of Tract K in a number of
ways including, but not limited to, "any private or public gatherings" or "any
other act by any person or persons (except as hereinafter expressly permitted),
which, in the judgment of ry1IgIjIly-SgI [Emphasis Added] or of the
appropriate officials of the Town of Vail, Colorado, may deface, alter, destroy or
damage the natural condition of the vegetation or the aesthetic value of the
natural environment quality of the Subject Tracts."
. Any amendment to the Covenants requires the written consent of "owners of
75Yo of the surface area of the privately-owned land included within the
boundaries of Glen Lyon ..."
o In order to change the use ofTracts J and H and the Stream Tract to allow the
construction and operation of a ski lift, an amendment to the Covenants was
made that was consented to by owners of 75o/o of the surface area of the
privately-owned land included within the boundaries of Glen Lyon.
Subsequent to the acquisition of Lot 39-2 and in connection with reviewing the actions of
VA in connection with the subject application, we became aware of a letter from VA
dated Septernber 11, 1996 to the "Glen Lyon Subdivision Property Owners ("1996
Letter") wherein it was requested that the Glen Lyon Property Owners consent to the use
of Tract K snowcat and snowmobile access through Tract K. In the 1996 Letter, VA
acknowledged that "Implementing this altemative requires your pafiicrpationby
amending the Glen Lyon Subdivision covenants."
This letter shall serve as notice to both TOV and VA that Westhaven, as a property owner
in Glen Lyon, believes the proposed use of Tract K by VA will deface, alter, destroy or
damage the natural condition of the vegetation or lhe aesthetic value of the natural
environment qualrty of Tract K. Such use would therefore clearly violate the provisions
ofthe Covenants.
If TOV and VA atternpt to violate the provisions of the Covenants by allowing any use of
Tract K not provided for in the Covenants, Westhaven and the other property owners in
Glen Lyon will suffer substantial damages. Westhaven believes that no further action
should be taken on behalf of the VA application until such time as VA has obtained a
duly authorized amendment to the Covenants allowing for a change of use of Tract K. In
this regard, it is requested that a detailed description ofthe application ofVA be sent to
all of the owners of the privately owned land in Glen Lyon. Westhaven would also
request that TOV delivers to Westhaven an address list for all of such owners so that
Westhaven and other property owners who may agree with Westhaven may communicate
with the Glen Lyon property owners.
There is already an existing snow cat trail that goes along Forest Road that is not subject
to any legal restrictions. We believe that most of the owners of the Forest Road houses
acquired their houses after VA commenced using Forest Road as a snow cat trail and had
knowledge that such use would have an impact on the use of their houses. While we have
a great deal of sympathy for the property owners on Forest Road who want to rid
themselves of the nuisance of snow cats driving adjacent to their property, we believe
that it is totally inappropriate for TOV to move such nuisance so that it will have to be
suffered by other property owners in a different section of the community who never
expected to be subject to such a nuisance and were never advised of such risk prior to
acquiring their properties. It is even more inappropriate for a govemmental body to allow
a private entity to use public land in contravention of legal restrictions and in a manner
likely to cause damage to the other property owners. There are other altemative routes
for the snow cat trails that do not have to traverse public land that are not restricted by
covenants. If the construction of such alternatives are more costly than the Tract K
altemative, that should not be a reason sufficient to consider using Tract K in violation of
the Covenants and in a manner that will move a nuisance from one residential area to
another one.
We would appreciate a response to this letter and reserve all of our rights to commence
action for damages and injunctive relief. We await your response.

Department of Community Development
Town of Vail

RE: VR Snowcat Access/Snowmaking System lmprovements
Dear Russ:
As you know, Vail Resort's efforts to construct a new bridge and snowcat access route
also includes improvements to Vail Mountain's snowmaking system (collectively
referred to as the Prqect). These improvements to the snowmaking system inciude the
installation of a new water intake device, pump/vault and water lines. Further, a new
stormwater drain pipe will be constructed (this will replace an existing pipe in the same
location), and an existing snowmaking intake pipe currently located within Gore Creek
will be removed.
To date the Project has been approved by the Design Review Board. This DRB approval
involved review of the design of structures and site development, colors, materials and
Iandscaping for the entire project. The Planning and Environmental Commission also
reviewed the project relative to retaining walls associated with the snowcat accessway.
A portion of the intake structure and the stormwater drain pipe will be located within the
Gore Creek flood plain. lmprovements within the floodplain are regulated by town
ordinances. This letter outlines how the proposed project complies with applicable town
regulations.
Hazard Regulations - Activities within Flood Plain
Improvements in the flood plain are regulated by Chapter 2l Hazud Regulations.
Section 12-21-10 A. Development Restricted:
E. The Administrator may require anv applicant or person desirir.rs to modify the
flood plain by fill, construction, channelization, grading, or otirer similar changes,
to submit for review an environmental irnpact statenrent in accordance with

adjacent properties, or increase the quantity or velocity offlood waters. (Ord.
16(1983) $ 1: Ord. 12(1978) $ 4)
This section of the Hazard Regulations make three important points. lf a project involves
modifications within the floodplain an environmental impact statement in accordance
with Chapter l2 shall be submitted. This statement is intended to establish whether or
not the work will adversely affect adjacent properties or increase the quantity or velocity
of flood waters.
The Project involves modification to the flood plain. As such, the provisions of Chapter
12 areto be used to evaluate and determine whetherproposed improvements adversely
affect adjacent properties or increase the quantity or veiocity of flood waters. It can
clearly be surmised from Section 12-21-10 that improvements within the flood plain that
do not adversely affect adjacent properties or increase the quantity or velocity of
floodwaters shall be permitted.
Chapter 12-Environmental Impact Report
Town regulations stipulate that an environmental impact report be compieted for any
project for which such a report is required by other town regulations (as is the case in this
situation), is required by state or federal regulation or for any project which may change
the environment with respect to fifteen different environmental considerations. Section
12-12-2 lists these fifteen considerations.
Chapter 12 also stipulates that certain projects may be deemed exempt from requirements
to submit an environmental impact report. Section 12-12-3 Exernpt Projects states "an
environmental impact report shall not be required for the following projects":
Alteration, repair and maintenance of existing structures and site
improvements.
A phase of a project for which an environmental impact report previously was
submitted and reviewed covering the entire project, provided that the project
was approved and not subsequently altered.
A project which, on the basis of a preliminary environmental assessment
covering each of the factors prescribed in Section 12-12-2 of this Chapter is
found to have an insignifrcant impact on the environment. The preliminary
environmental assessrnent and the finding on environmental impact shall be
made by the Administrator. (Ord. 8(1973) S 1 6.300)
Based on Section 12-12-3, ifprojects are deemed exempt based on any ofthese three
provisions, an environmental impact report is not required.
A.
B.
C.
The following section will demonstrate how The Project confomrs to the provisions of an
exempt project and as such an environmeirtal impact report is not required.
Evaluation of Project
The project involves two improvements, or modifications within the flood plain. These
include the stormwater drain pipe and the intake structure for Vail Mountain's
snowmaking system. The evaluation of The Project's "exempt status" involves
consideration of two factors outlined in Section 12-12-3, paragraph A. pertaining to The
Project being repair and r.naintenance of existing improvements and paragraph C.
pertaining to findings of a preliminary impact statement.
Paragraph A. - Alteration of Existing Improvement
The stormwater drain pipe replaces an existing stormwater pipe. The new pipe wili be
located in the same location as the existing pipe. As such, this portion of The Project
involves the alteration, repair and naintenance of an existing structure and site
improvement. The new stormwater drain pipe is clearly exempt from requirements to
provide an environnrental impact report.
Parasraph C. - Findinss of a preliminarv impact statement
This paragraph states that a project found to have an insignificant impact on the
environment based on a preliminary environmental assessment covering the fifteen
factors listed in Section 12-12-2 shall be exempt from requirements to provide an
environmental impact report. The following is an evaluation of The Project (including
both the stormwater drainaee outfall and the intake structure) relative to these fifteen
considerations.
The provisions of Chapter 12 - Environmental Lnpact Report have been "prompted" by
the proposed activities with the flood plain. As such, the evaiuation of these 15
considerations focuses only on those aspects ofThe Project located with the flood plain.
A. Alters an ecologicai unit or land form, such as a ridgeline, saddle, draw, ravine,
hillside, cliff, slope, creek, marsh, watercourse, or other natural land form feature.
Response
The proposed improvements within the flood plain will alter the creek bank and in doing
so affect the creek and water course. An analysis of this condition has been completed by
Hydrosphere Resource Consultants (see attacired letter dated May 27,2004. This
analysis concludes that the Project will r.rot result in any increases in the quantity, depth
and /or velocity of flood water and tl.rat the proposed project will not result in any
measurable cl.range in the flood plain and will not adversely affect adjacent properties.
B. Directly or indirectly affects a wildlife irabitat, feeding, or nesting ground.
Response
The proposed project is limited to the replacement of an existing stormwater
drainage outfall and the installation of a new water intake structure. This
structure is a concrete box that is located a short distance into the flood plain. The
proposed improvements will have no significant impact on the above
considerations.
C. Alters or removes native grasses, trees, shrubs, or other vegetative cover.
Response
The creek bank with The Project improvements are located is very sparsely
vegetated. The landscape plan proposed as an element of The Project will
establish far more new vegetation than what will be altered by The Project. The
Project has no sigaificant impact to this consideration.
D. Affects the appearance or character of a signihcant scenic area or resource, or
involves buildings or other structures that are ofa size, bulk, or scale that would
be in marked contrast to natural or existing urban features.
Response
The proposed improvements are very limited in terms of their size. The
stormwater outfall is located approximately two vertical feet above the normal
water level of Gore Creek. The intake structure is located approximately two and
one half feet above the normal water level. The proj ect is located on a creek bank
that has been altered in the past. The Project has no significant impact to this
consideration.
E. Potentially results in avalanche, landslide, siltation, settlement, flood, or other
land form change or hazard to health and safety.
Response
The report prepared by Hydrosphere (as referenced above) demonshates that the
improvements will have no adverse impact on the flood plain. No other
considerations listed above are impacted by the proposed improvements.
F. Discharges toxic or thennally abnormal substances, or involves use of herbicides
or pesticides, or emits smoke, gas, steam, dust, or other particulate matter.
Response
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
G. Involves any process which results in odor that may be objectionable or
damaging.
ResDonse
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
H. Requires any waste treatment, cooling, or settlement pond, or requires
transportation of solid or liquid wastes to a treatment or disposal site.
Response
The elements of The Project located within tbe flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
I. Discharges significant volumes of solid or liquid wastes.
Response
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
J. Has the potential to strain the capacity of existing or planned sewage disposal,
storm drainage, or other utility systems.
ResDonse
The eiements of The Project located within the flood plain wili not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
K. Involves any process which generates noise that may be offensive or damaging.
Response
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
L. Either displaces significant numbers of people or results in a significant increase in
population.
Response
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
M. Preempts a site with potential recreational or open space value.
Response
The elernents of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
sigrificant impact on the considerations listed above.
N. Alters local traffic patterns oI causes a significant increase in traffrc volume or
transit service needs.
Response
The elements of The Project located within the flood plain will not have any
significant impact on the considerations listed above.
O. Is a part of a larger project which, at any future stage, may invoive any of the
impacts listed in this Section. (Ord. 8(1973) $ 16.200)
ResDonse
The Project is not a part of a larger project. This provision is not applicable.
Conclusion
Of the fifteen factors to be considered by a preliminary environmental report, only on is
relevant to the Project - the potential affect on the flood plain and water course. As
demonstrated by the Hydrosphere report, the Project will not result in any increases in the
quantity, depth and /or velocity of flood water. The proposed project will not result in
any measurable change in the flood plain and will not adversely affect adjacent
properties.
It is very evident that the elements of The Project located within the flood plain are
exempt from requirements to provide an environmental impact report. The stormwater
drain pipe is exempt because it involves the alteration of an existing improvement located
within the flood plain. Both the stormwater drain pipe and the intake strucfure, as
evidence by the preliminary environmental impact report above, will have an
insignificant impact on the environment.
Subject to tiris same finding being made by the zoning administrator, the Project is
"exempt" and no environmental impact report is required. Based on the above, the
improvements proposed withiri the flood plain can be approved administratively. We are
happy to answer any questions you may have regarding this matter. Your prompt
response to this letter would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,-,---\ o' \)A^\-

RE: Vail Resorts Snow Cat Bridge aud Snowmaking Intake Constructjon
Dear Gregg:
Vail Resorts is preparing to construct a new br-idge across Gore Creek and replace their
existing snowmaking intake located near the Vail Wastewater Treatment Plant, just
upstrean frorn the confluence ofRed Sandstone Creek. This project has been reviewed
and approved by the Vail Plaruring and Environmental Con-rmission and the Design
Review Board, contingent upon analysis of potential floodplain irnpacts and compliance
with sectior.r 12-2 1 -108 of the Vail Torvn Code. The purpose of this letter is to report the
results of our anaiysis of floodplain impacts and to docutnent project design
rnodifications ti-rat have been adopted to prevent increases in the quantity, deptlr and./or
velocity of flood waters.
Pursuant to our telephone discussions, our assessment ofpoteutial floodplain impacts
involved an anaiysis of the proposed improvements using the 1978 HEC-2 hydraulic
model that is the basis for the cunently effective Flood insurance Study, dated November
2, 1982. ln addition, we compieted a site-specific inspection and survey of strearn
channel cross sections tirrough the project area. This information was used to evaluate
the proposed improvements and implernent design modifications to assure that there will
be no net change in charurel geometry and therefore no change in flood elevations or
velocity.
The existing conditions infomration for the HEC-2 hydraulic model was obtained directly
frol-r FEMA and consisted of an undated "greett bar" hard copy of the inpuUoutput
surrurary othydraulic calculatiolrs together with a copy of the work nrap of the area. We
revierved tlris infon.nation and used it to recoustruct the HEC-2 hydraulic nrodel for the
area where the proposed project is located. The flood hydraulics for this area were based
on very sinrple georr,etrically defined channel cross sections, regulatory cross sectiotls
18.92 and I8.93, located immediately ullstrearn and downstreanl of tlle proposed
imoroveruetrts.
Mr. Gregg Barrr May 21,2004
Page2
The HEC-2 model did,not include any stream channel cross sectious located in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed tiioge and the intake structure. For the cross sections
located upstream and dowustreanr of the project area, a sub-critical flow assutrption was
used for the hydraulic calculations. Tlie repeated "critical depth" cornputations
diagnostic indicated that the rnatirematical model could not balarrce in the assumed sub-
criiical flow regime so the model autoniatically defaulted to computation of tlie critical
depth for the assumed 10O-year flood flow rate at each cross section Tlre hydraulic
grud" Iin. (water surface elevation) for the 1QO-year flood through this reach is the resuit
Jf "on
recting the individual upstream and downstream point calculations of critical
depth. The iater surface proil" througlr this Ieach can therefore only be considered
approximate.
our site specific survey and inspection of this stream reach revealed the existence ofa
very geometric and constrained chanr-rel section with Do 10o-year overbanks and limited
opportlrnity to mitigate chamel etrcroaclunents with conveyance improvements' The
approxin-r*e elevation of the hydlaulic grade iine of the 100-flood indicated by the model
for the area between the proposed bridge and the new intake was 8081 .7 feet, whicir
rvould be about 2 to 3 feet bllow tlie bike path to tire soutl.r aDd about 15 feet below the
parking lot to the north of the creek. The site plan showing the proposed irnprovements
is attached to this letter as Exhibit I .
The Snow Cat Bridge abutments would be located at elevations of 8086 and 8087 to the
norlh and south of the creek respectively, which would be well above and outside of the
100-year floodplain and will have uo impact on the regulatory floodplain- Tl.re proposed
new intake structure and the new stonl server outfall, both on the north side of the creek'
would be located at least par-tially below the 1O0-year flood elevation and inside the
rnapped floodplain. The iemair.rder of this letter therefore addresses potential impacts
associated with these structures '
Exiribit 2 illustrates stream chamel cross section geometry at the proposed intake
iocation under existing conditions and future conditions following construction' The new
water- intake structure was originaily proposed with rectangular encroachment into the
floodplain, begiruring sliglitly below ihe nonlal water level as showtt on Exhibit 2' Our
initiai qualitative evaluatiori of this structure, based upotr its iilpact on chaturel geometry,
colcluied that it would result i1 an unacceptable floodplail encroaclunent' We therefore
recommended nrodifications to the desigrl oithe intake that involved moving the
structure back into the streambank and changing the design to reduce the height of the
structure so that it more closely confonrrs 1o the slope of the existing bank.
The project eltgilteers have accepted these recontnrendations and n.rodified the design so
that ihe intake will not cause a significant deviatioll in the geonretric bank line. The
shaded area ol.l Exhibit 2 in front of tl-re intake control gate represents a widening of the
bottont of the streaur channel by about 4.5 feet and a deellening of the cliamel edge by
about 2.5 feet. The shaded area along the upper bank above the proposed intake structure
shows sonre addrtional flood conveyance capacity due to rvidening and deepcning ofthe
channel below the 100-year flood level. The additional cha]xlel conveyance capactty

represented by tliese modifications will more than offset tlre irnpacts associated with the
uppercorneroftlrestructuretl:atextendsabout2feetabovetheexistingbank. This
comer of the structure would be sirnilar to the size of existing boulders that are found in
the stream and on the banks through this strearn section.
The Exhibit 2 cross section dernonstrates that with the modified intake design, the
structure will not result in a significant geometric encroachment. In the absence of a
reliable, precise hydraulic model, approximate conveyance computatiotls were made to
determine the change in the chanriel's ability to carry water at the intake cross section
under existing and proposed conditions. The results ofthis analysis are presented on the
attached conveya.nce curve (Exhibit 3). At the nomral flow level the channel conveyance
would be increased by approximately l9%; at the level of the top of the proposed intake
structure, conveyance would be increased by about lYo; and at the 1O0-year flood level,
conveyance would increase by about 7Yo. Since the channel conveyance is actually
increased, at ieast a small amount at all stream stages, the intake will luve no significant
impact on the regulatory flood elevation or velocity,
Exhibit 4 illustrates the before and after stream channel cross section geometry for the
proposed location of the new stoml sewer outfall. This cross section demonstrates tirat
there will be no measurable deviation in georretric bank line between the before and after
conditions, and therefore no impact on the regulatory flood elevation or velocity.
In conciusion, the results of our analysis of floodplain impacts indicates that, with the
project design modifrcations described above, the proposed bridge, intake facility and
stoml sewer outfall structure will not result in any increases in the quautity, depth and/or
velocily of flood water. Therefore, the proposed project will not result in any measurable
change in the floodplain and will not adversely affect adjacentproperties.

Edwards, CO 81632
I. Introduction
'4- Sumrnaty of Proposal
Vail Resorts, Inc., in cooperation with Eagle River Water and Sanitation District @RWSD), is
proposing a new snowcat access route to Vail Mountain from their maintenance facility in
Lionshead The proposed route runs across the ERWSD site, over Gore Creek via a new
bridge, and up the hillside to the Cascade Way trail. This relocation of the snowcat access route
is being proposed as part of the redevelopment of the Tennis Court site located on West Forest
Road. Both projects, the Tennis Court site redevelopment and the pr<posed snowcat access
route and bridge, are proposed to begin construction in the spring of 2004. The proposed
bridge and access route are located on Town of Vail tand as well as ERWSD land. The Town
Council authorized Vail Resorts to proceed through the development rer-iew process inJuly of
this year to esablish this proposed snowcat access route.
!-ail Resors, Inc. - Snowcat Access
Braun Associates, Inc.
To facilitate the rerouting of the snowcats a conditiond use permit application for a
snorrcat access route and bddge in the Outdoor Recteation zone district and Special
Development Disttict #4 (Cascade Village) has been submitted. A Design Review
application will be submitted upon PEC approval of the use.
B. KeyElemen* ofthe Prcposal
Key elements of the plan indude:
. Improvement of vehicular circulation and reduction of conflicts with snowcats
oo West Forest Road
o New sno\ycat route that eliminates impacts to the Fotest Road neiglbots
. lmplements goals of the Lionshead Redwelopment Master Plan by telocating
access toute
C.ReuiewPmcess
The Outdoor Recreation zone district aod SDD #4 allow ski runs, lifu, tows and related
accessory facilities (i.e., grooming access) subiect to the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit
(CLIP). The PEC has 6nal rcview authority on a CUP. Towo Council mustgive 6nd approval
for the use of Town propefty.

II.Description of the Proiect
A. Baclrground
For more than 30 years Vail Resorts has been maintaining and storing snowcats and
snou'mobiles at their facility h Lionshead. In order for snowcats to be propedy maintained
they must travel to and from the Vail Resorts maintenance facility in Lionshead. Snowcats and
snorvmobiles currendy travel on West Forest Road to Vail N{ountain and the ski slopes. In the
last 10 years, Vail Resorts has de'r'eloped more on-mounain facilities to store and maintain
snowcats which has reduced thc amount of snowcat travel on West Forest Road. llou'ever.
more significant maintenance of snowcats must still occur on the Lionshead site.
Vail Resorts and the Town of Vail have recognized the desire of the residents on West Forest
Road to have a new mountain access route estabiishcd to remove snowcats from this residential
Ltez.

Braun Associates, Inc.
B. Ptoposed Access Route
The proposed snowcat mountain access route takes snowcats direcdy across South Frontage
Road onto the westem portion of the erpanded Eagle River Watcr & Sanitation District site.
ERWSD is proposing to grant Vail Resorts a 25' easement from its drivervay-cut on South
Iirontage Road to the rear property line along Gore Creek. 'l'he route then crosses Gore Creek
via a proposed bridge to the f'own property on the south side of Gore Cteek. The bridge also
crosses over the Town of Vail recreation path with a 1a' (min) clearance. The route then
proceeds up the hillside
^t ^n ^'verage
grade of 16% until it reaches the existing Cascade Way
trail. An easement is proposed be cstablished on Town land to allow this proposed access
route. Refer to the plan on page 5 which shows the proposed route.

Bridge Location
C. Trail/Bridge Design
As explained above, the proposed route includes the construction of a new bridge and snowcat
trail benched into the hillside. The trail cut will occur on a hillside where there has been
excessive beetle kill of trees and therefore will have little impact on rrnture vegetation. The trail
will be maintained as a dirt/gravel road with access limited to sno'wcat use only. In the summer
months a g te Lt the top and bottom will prevent vehicular access.
The bridge is designed as a single span structure with supporting abutments on either end of the
bridge. All bridge supports or located outside of the 100-year flood plain. The structure is
proposed to be a similar design to the West Forest Road bridge recendy reconstructed by the
Town.
D.Construction Schedule
The construction of the bridge and grading of the trail is proposed to occur in the
Spring/Summer of 2004. Completion of the bridge and trail is anticipated by November of
2004.

III. Conditional Use Permit Criteria
Belorv is the criteria used bv the staff and the Planning and Enr,'ironmental Comrnission w-hen
revierving a request for a Conditional Use Permit. Each criterion has been addressed and we find that
the proposal fully complies with each.
A. Re/ationship and impact o-f tbe u.re on deuelopment objatiaet of the fown.
Our Anal).sis:
Relocating the access route for snorvcats from West Forest Road to a more d]ect route
has been a goal of the To',vn for many years. 'l'hc Lionshead Rede'i'elopment Nl2ster
Plan includes discussion of relocating that access to the atea being proposed. The
proposed access route will reduce conflicts rvith pedestrians and vehicles and teduce
disturbance to a more densel,v developed resident-ial area. The proposed route is
consistent rvith the Torvn's development obiectives.
Tbe efet o1 the ase on light and air, dittibution oJ'popu/ation, trantpoftationfatilitiet utilities,
schools, parks and rereation fadlities, and other pablic fad/ities needs.
Our Analysis:
The proposed snovcat access route and bridge are being developed in confunction with
the expansion of the rvastervater and water treatment plant on the Eagle River \yater &
Sanitation District site. The plans for the District site rvere developed to accommodate
both the utility facilities and the snorvcat access. Based on the nature of the uses being
proposed and the lirnited scope of this project, it v'ill have little, if anv, impact on these
criteria-
Efect upon trffic aitb patticular refercnn to congestion, automotiae and pedestian saJery and
conuenientv, trafic fow and tvnlrol, atcer, maneurcrabilit1, and remoua/ of tnowfmn tbe $rvel and
parking areas.
Our Analysis:
The proposed relocation of the snowcat access route v-ill improve pedestrian and
vehicular safety afld improve the traffrc florv and congestion on West Forest Road.
Currendy sflo$,'cats travel across the South Frontage Road and then along West Forest
Road, v-hich creates conflicts with pedestrians and othet haffic on that road. The nerv
location will isolate sno$'cats on a dedicated route and thetefote significantly reduce
vehicular conflicts.
B.
(,-
Vail Rcsons, Inc. - Snowcat Access
Braun .\ssociatcs, lnc-
As pat of the expansion of the ERWSD's plant, access to the site is being modified and
improved. There ate currendy two curb-cuts along the South Ftontage Road for the
existing Old Town Shops. Access to the site will be modified to one curb-cut to comply
with CDOT requirements, thus creating mote safe and efflcient access.
D. Efect npon the character of the area in uhicb tbe pmplred lse h to be located, inchding tbe vah and
bulk of tbe pnposed use in rctation to snmunding uset.
Our Analysis:
\,(/hile the proposal does not invoh'e the construction of any buildings, there srill be
visual impacts to the community. The proposed access route will include the cut and fill
of an access way on a steep billside. The impacts of this access way will be mitigrted by
re-r'egetating disturb areas. The impacts to the environment are also reduced by the fact
that the hillside today is littered rvith trees killed by beedes.
Overall the character of the area will be improved by moving snowcats from a
residential area to an isolated hillside rvithout nearby residential uses.

IV. Land Use Plan/Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Goals
Below is a list of Goals from the Vail Land Use Plan that ate applicable to the proposed snowcat access
route. The proposed conditional use permit request is consistent with these goals as the ptoposal is
responding to the needs of the community.
Land Use Plan
l. Genetal Growth,/Development
1.1 Vail should continue to grow in a controlled environment, maintaining a balance
betrveen residential, commercial and recreational uses to sen'e both t}le visitor and the
permanent resident.
1.2 The quality of the environment including air, rvater and other natural resources should
be protected as the Torvn grows.
1.10 Development of Torvn orvned lands by the To'*'n of Vail (odrer than parks and open
space) may be permitted where no high hazards exist, if such development is for public
use.
1.11 Town owned lands shall not be sold to a private entity, long term leased to a private
entity or converted to a private use rvithout a public hearing process.
Skier/Tourist Concems
The ski area owner, the business community and the Town leaders should work
together closely to make existing facilities and the Tovrn function more effectively'

THE PINNED SYSTTIVI
S tructurffil FemSrurss
Po s it iye &t[e t:lrsn i c ut Curu itcc|lorr
Keystone's patented pin system provides dcpendable strength
where it's needed most. High strength fiberglass pins providc
built-in alignment for thc Century Wall System and ensures
that each unit is securely interlocked within thc wall face. L.t
addition, this unique pinned system allows for a mechanical
connection with gcogrid soil reinforcement, securing its
placement between units and allowing {br proper lsnsjen
of the geogrid.
Produrl De-rigru
The Century Wall urit design provides important features
needed but not always found in a segmental retaining wal.l. The
center core area of Crntury Wall provides an open cell in which
unit drainage fill is placed adding weight, facial stability and
additional interlock for each wall module. This gravel fill
provides a critical function as a drainage filter which helps
alleviatc hydrostatic pressure and assists in locking the geogrid
within the wall face.
Ils ndo m LI n it Pl uc em e nt
Century Walli random face appearance provides thc look of
hand laid stone with the design and construction advantages
found in a segmental retaining wall. Three f'a.cing elements
8" in height, with varying widths fiom 7" to 18" each
randomly placed within the wall, give Century Wall the
character of a natural sltxrc wall. All Century Wall units are
12" deep providing the stability required for construcring
taller wall structures.
