RE: Parcels 2 and 3, Vail Village West 2nd Filing
Dear Theresa:
In regards to your letter dated October 20, 1993, regarding the Aldrete property located on
Lots 2 and 3, Vail Village West 2nd Filing, I have the following responses.
1. Wetlands
The Town of Vail does not map wetlands nor do we have an approved mapping
system of the wetlands within the Town. Because the parcel is adjacent lo the creek,
it is possible that wetlands may be present. The owner may need to have a consultant
map these wetlands and the review would be completed by the Army Corps of
Engineers. While the Town of Vail does not review wetlands, we will require that there
be a sign-off from the Corps regarding the wetlands should they be suspected on the
sile.
2. Reoradinq
The regrading of a lot is a site specific issue. Topography, wetlands and setbacks
would be considered during the review of an item such as this. Also, the height of the
building would be based on the original topography of the site, not the proposed
grading elevations. lf the height were based on the new topography, it would allow a
person lo build up a lot, and therefore, build a house much higher than originally
possible. The staff has required that the original topography be used for all other
projects which have requested regrading.
3. Access
The Town of Vail does not control the South Frontage Road. An access permit would
need to be approved by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) in order to
gain access to Lot 2 without crossing Lot 3. The Town of Vail does not have the ability
to approve such a request and it should be coordinated with CDOT.

4. Setbacks
The requested bike path easement will not impact the setbacks. The setbacks are 20
feet from the side of the property where access is taken and 15 feet on both sides and
rear. There is also a 50 loot creek setback from the centerline of the creek. The one
hundred year floodplain should also be considered when developing a site plan as it
may be more restrictive than the creek setback in some areas.
5. Floodplain
The floodplain is shown on the topographic survey which was completed by Eagle
Valley Engineering and Surveying. The Town of Vail has one on file, but a stamped
copy can be obtained from the surveyor. We would only be able to release a copy and
it may be to your benefit to have a stamped copy directly from the surveyor.
6. Sewer Seruice
Please contact Upper Eagle Valley regarding their requirements on the removal of
septic tanks and sewer hook-up. The Town of Vail does not control the sewer system.
I believe that Upper Eagle Valley will require you to remove the septic tank.
Should you have any questions please contact me al479-2138 as I will be out of the office
October 29th through November 6th. In my absence, you can speak with Mike Mollica
regarding this issue.
