2. A11 exchanges to be equal in va1ue.
3. To meet No. 2, cash equalization is authorized,but this cash equalization cannot be more than
257 of the value of the National Forest land tobe exchanged.
4. Ihe exchange must result in the consolidationof the National Forest Or.mership pattern.
I"le will not be able to appraise your offered land as you stated inyour letter until you select the land you are interested in aroundVai1. As stated above, the parcels to be exchanged must be equalin value. In order to determine. this, the appraised values forthe exchange lands must be estimated at the same time.
Your next step is to contact Ranger Ernie Nunn in Minturn (phone fp
827 -57 L5) and decide on what National Forest land you and Ernie /'
are mutually agreeable to exchanging. Erniers staff nill thenwrite an Environmental Assessment to detemine if the exchangeis in the public interest. On this determj.nation, the appraisalof the exchange lands can be started.

RE: Appralsal assignment on two parcels
of land zoned greenbelt
Dear Rich:
This week Pat Dodson forwarded a copy of the rightof way rnap for I-70 across Parcel H. ITe have inspected the landswhj-ch are not encumbered by the highway easement.
If you wiIl refer to the second paragraph of the appraisalcontract dated llarch 2, you will note that the appraisal isgoing to assume "that it is the position of the Town of VaiIthat this land which has been annexed and zoned greembelt andnatural open space district is environmentally sensitive andshould not be encroached upon by any man made structure". Onparcel II there are three excellent building sites which I amafraid an unbiased person would think could qulte properly bedeveloped. As raw land building sites, they would probablyseI1 for $150,O00 each. This assumes that the o1d right of wayfor US 6 can be used for access to the sites. It also assumesthat the land passes percolation tests.
On the Spraddle Creek Parcel-, I regret to say that thereare two magnificant building sites, which I suspect ean easilybe developed with water wel1s and leaching fields. Access tothem would be off of the Forest Service Road going up SpraddleCreek. These building sites would probably have a value of
$5OO,O0O each.
After analyzing the county''s zoning phitosophy, I betievethat the development of these parcels as outlined above wouldprobably be acceptable if the land were not already annexed tothe Town of Vail. As f see the appraisal problem, it rvoulclappear that a" prudent buyer purchasing the land from the ForestService would i-nitially eome to the Town of Vail and ask forzoning as outlined above. If this were declined and a lawsuitfiled, i-t appears to me that a court would rule in his favor.
I wanted to expose your office to this problem beforeproceeding further with this appraisal as I expect the valuesmentioned are much greater than we were all hoping. Perhapstaking percolati.on tests and revj,ewing the access question withlegal council are the next logical steps to be taken. I wouldbe happy to inspect the sites with you or your staff.
""/nu, Dodson

sut.:i'lr.RY
Any agency of a state or local go.,,ernrnent r.lishirrg to initiate a land e>:change
or to purchase llational Forest lands should contact the District Par{er acilirt-
istering the area vrhere the non-Federal, land is located. The District Rait'3er
vri11 provide infornation concerning authorities, reguiren;ents, and time
frames necessary for processing a land exchange or sale. If a prelininary
agrecment is reached, ihe Distrjct Ranger vril1 provice a Letter'-oi'-Inteni io
be signed by an authorized representative of the norr-Federal agency. Tine
requirernents fcr processing a land exchange or saie can often be reduced if
non-Federal parties provide a'll or part of the expenses involved in af,pi'aisal ,
land survey, mineral examination, cultural resource survey, yetlands anC flooc-
plains survey, and threatened and endan-oered species survey for the.affected
I ands.
Conversely, the Forest Se rvi ce may rii sh io pronrote tnanagciite rrt ef f i ci enc3'
through disposal of certain lands. l{hen it is appar^ent thet the lands to
be disposed of can be utilized by a sta"le or'l ocal governnent, l'easonable
efforts r'rill be made to see that ownersh'i p of the property is convcycd',-o
that governmental unit. Hor.rever, if these reasonable efforts fai l and dis-
posal of the property is still in the public jnterest, tile Forest 5r:rvice_na-v
dispose of the property to a private individual, corporation, or ccnpar:3i in
exchange for other lands that are valuab'l e for iiational Forest purpcses.
Subject to the availab'i lity of funding and manporter, it is.'uhe pollcy of
the Rocky I'iountain Region to respond to the needs of sta'Le; arrd iocal Ecv:rtr-
ments by selling and exchanging lands as allov;ed by curretrt'l avs. Tl're best
way to initiate land sales anC exchanges is through early contact t;itlt ihc
local Distrjct Rangers. These transacticns are tinre consuiring and costli'-to
both parties, but Jre often effect'i ve in promoting public jnterests both lccai ly
and nationa)1y.

Dear Rlch:
Thls ls Ln response to your Letter of March 17, 1982 concernlng The Nature
Conservaocy and Jon Mulford .
First, I apologlze for the approach that llas taken by l,lr. Mulford, and we
have taken steps to prevent this fron happenlng again. posslbly an
e:qplanation of the background to thls sttuatlon nlght help you understand
how thls came about. The Nature cooservancy has worked with the Forest
servl-ce for tn ny years to acqulre prlvate laods that appear desirable forpubllc ownership. The advantage The Nature conservancy has is that they
can purchase these lands wtren they are offerbd for sale, whlle the Forestservlce has to nalt untLl funds are appropriated. TNC can thus hold thesetracts untll the Forest service can purchase them. They also can offerflnanclal arrangenents more attractlve to the seller than the governmentcan. However, as of this year, there are very limited federal fundsavallable for land purchases; therefore, ThE-Tature Conservancy has
entered itrto the land exchange progran. rt $as at thts polnt that
communLcatlons broke down between the Forest service and Mr. Mulford,
ae he proceeded to use the same rrsellingtr technlques for Forest landsas he had used for private lande. Ilopefully, these problems have now
been resolved and for the lnrnedlate future Mr. ilulford, utro Ls undercontract to TNc, rnl1l not be working with National Forest land in EagJ.e
County.
rt ls rny htent to exchange or dLspose of lands not of National Forestcharacter 1n the near future. Thls rsill include land transferred fromthe Bureau of Land Managenent to the Forest servlce, lsolated tracts!and lands inconsistent wlth Natlonal Forest purposes.

Statement of need
At the present tiroe the Town of Vail does not own or offer any park areas that
could be used on an on-going basis for family acrivities such as baseba11, throwing
a ball around, frisbee, flying planes, kites, etc.. Every park that is presently
developed by the Town of ltail is meeting the need of organized events and is
scheduled to its maximum thereby eliminating the individual or family need for
drop-in recreation. This requested piece of property when properly developed will
help to balance the recreation facility needs within the Gore Valley. The overall
size for development can be determined by the people in the community, the Forest
Service and the Town of Vai1. We feel with that kind of cooperation and input we
can improve the quality of life in tbe valley.
il4
the quality of the Big Horn area. This parcel is a continuation of the Gore Creek
Carnpground which is basically the same use that is being proposed, plus it is also
a buffer area between private l-and and a camping area. At the Present tine there
are individuals that are using this piece of proPerty for over night canp sites
which is i11egal. The Forest Service who controles this area is unable to renove
these individuals unless 14 days notice has been given. If the ProPerty \tas
under a special use permit to the Tovm of Vail, than the Town of Vail laws would
apply and more strict controls could be placed and enforced on the agreed use of
this property. Development plans will be furnished after the Town of Vail and the
Forest Service agree on improvements.
