Westhaven Bridge and Skier Bridge Improvements
Request for Change to Approved Plans (DRB Number: DRB050330)
Dear Bill,
The Cascade Village Metro District (CVMD) would like to move forward with the improvements to the
Skier Bridge as we initially indicated last May. Subsequent to that initial request, certain issues prevented
the project from moving forward, but these issues are now resolved and we would like to move forward
with tbe improvements this spring and summer. In addition, the CVMD would also like to propose some
minor additional improvements to the Westhaven Bridge.
The proposed changes for both bridges are described with narratives, drawings and other relevant
information in the attachments to the enclosed DRB - Change to Approved Plans Application. We would
also like the DRB approval to be extended to cover construction to be completed by Thanksgiving of this
year.
We have also attached a check for $20 and. supporting information. We request that this application be
considered by the DRB at their February 20' meeting.
If you have any questions, please give me a call. Thank you for your help.

Pronosed Chanees to the Skier Bridee:
In an effort to reduce the cost of the improvements to this bridge, a value engineering effort was
undertaken with the contractor. This value engineering initiative identified a couple of proposed changes
as listed below. None of these changes will affect the appearance of the bridge as originally approved by
t}e DRB. The changes are:
1. Use BT42 prestressed concrete beams to straddle the existing double-tee girder. The original concept
would have called for the removal of the existing double-tee and installation of steel girders (See attached
drawings showing the proposed changes and the originally approved concept).
2. In lieu of a precast concrete fagade, provide a steel fuss. The steel truss would have natural stone
applied to both sides as originally intended. The appearance of the frnished fagade would remain as
originally approved by the DRB (See attached drawings)
3. The elevation of the bridge deck would be raised approximately 12 inches above the existing deck
elevation and the trail on both sides would require some localized regarding (See attached drawing of
Trail Grading). This regarding has been designed in accordance Town standards
4. The CVMD would like to add lighting across the bridge. The lighting would be recessed into both
sides of the facade and would include light fixtures similar to those used on the Westhaven Bridge, but
would be somewhat smaller due to space limitations. A drawing of the proposed fixture is attached.

Subiect: RE: FtE: Cascade bridge changes
Chad,
Yes, we have been coordinating with Vail Resorts and the bridge is desiged to the same criteria as the Lionhead
Bridge, i.e. 3 feet of compacted snow (150 psf total snow load) plus the snow cat. At Vail Resorfs request, we
have used the Pisten Bully 100 criteria for the design. This is one of their smaller cats and the one they plan to
use to groom the trail.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks

Pronosed chanses to the Westhaven Bridse
1. The addition of a short wall at the Northwest comer of the bridge to better protect the
public from a drop off on the far side of the bridge wing wall. The proposed wall would be
anchored to the wingwall and would extend from the pilaster at the end of the bridge, 10 feet and
be 3'-9" high. The wall would be constructed of reinforced concrete and would confomt visually
with the concept used on the bridge, i.e. the wall would have a similar limestone cap and natural
river rock veneer applied to its surfaces (See attached drawing WB-1).
2. The CVMD would like to replace the steel and timber railing on top of the bridge walls
with an all steel railing. The timber weathers relatively quickly and a steel replacement will be
more durable and provide a better appearance will maintaining the same degree of safety. The
CVMD would like to replace the existing 4" x 6" timber with a 4" diameter steel rail which
would result in a similar appearance to the railing on top ofthe new facades, as approved by the
DRB. If a round steel pipe is not deemed acceptable by the Town, the CVMD proposes a
rectangular steel tube. As part ofthe proposed change, a capstone would also be placed on top of
both interior walls (see attached drawing WB-2).

1. Provide a grading plan for the bike path.
2. Is the loading rating of the bridge still at HS-20 with the value engineering change of keeping the existing
double-tee?
3. Submit construction documents and a public way permit application prior to start of construction.
Please respond to the above listed items by no later than Monday, June 11, 2007, If you have any question

Yes, we have been coordinating with Vail Resorts and the bridge is desiged to the same criteria as the Lionhead
Bridge, i.e. 3 feet of compacted snow (150 psf total snow load) plus the snow cat. At Vail Resods requesL we
have used the Pisten Bully 100 criteria for the design. This is one of their smaller cats and the one they plan to
use to groom the trail.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Cascade Village Bridge lmprovements - Updated Hydraulic Study Exhibit
I spoke with Tom about the inconsistency in the exhibit for the Skier Bridge that accompanied the
hydraulic study. We have modified the exhibit to reflect the proposed configuration at the abutment. This
configuration will require that the abutment be completely replaced rather than extending the existing
abutments as was originally intended. The proposed configuralion involves no permanent encroachment
into the 100-year floodplain at the Skier Bridge. Since the overall exhibit is lo a small scale, we have also
attached larger scale partial plans at each abutment. Please use these exhibits to replace the exhibit thal
was originally included. The exhibits should now be consistent with the hydraulic study.
As I mentioned in our phone conversation, l'll put four stakes, two adjacent to each abutment, at the
Wesihaven Bridge that represent the outer width of the proposed improvements. At the Skier Bridge, l'll
put four stakes that represent where the front face of the new abutmenVwingwall corner$ will be located.
Thanks.

Request for Chaurge to Approved Plans
Dear Bill.
In response to your email of 6/4/07, we have the following responses:
l. Provide a grading plan for the bike path.
Response: A typical section, proposed profiles and proposed grading for
both ends ofthe bridge are attached.
2. Is the load rating of the bridge still at HS-20 with the value engineering
change of keeping the existing double-tee?
Response: Yes, the load rating of the proposed bridge is greater than HS 20,
without the wintertime snow loading. The existing double-tee will remain in
place but will only support existing utilities, it won't take any other live
load.
3. Submit construction documents and a public way permit application prior to
the starl of construction.
Response: Construction documents and a public way permit application will
be submitted prior to the start of construction.

Proposed Bridge Improvements
Submittal to:
Town of Vail
Planning and Environmental Commission
1. Westhaven Drive Bridge Improvements:
A. General
The proposed improvements for this bridge include constructing an arched, stone faced
faqade on the upstream side of the bridge. A 6-foot wide sidewalk and a similar stone
faced fagade are also proposed on the downstream side of the bridge.
B. Upstream Side of the Bridge
Modifications to the existing foundations on the upstream side to accommodate the new
fagade will be minimal. Some disturbance within the floodplain will be necessary during
construction at both abufinents but at the end of construction, the ground will be restored
to its current condition.
The center pier on the upstream side will have to be extended by approximately two to
three feet to support the new faEade. The pier extension will be in the same orientation as
the existing pier. The pier cap will be lowered 12 inches to accept the proposed fagade.
Some temporary disturbance will also be necessary for construction but will be restored
to its current condition at completion of the pier modifications.
C. Downstream Side of the Bridee
Modifications to the existing foundations on the downstream side of the bridge to
accommodate the new sidewalk and fagade will also be required. The abutment for the
sidewalk structure and the fagade on the south side of Gore Creek will be located behind
the existing wingwall and be founded on small diameter "micropiles". There will be no
temporary or permanent impacts within the 1O0-year floodplain at this location.
The center pier on the downstream side of the bridge will need to be extended
approximately nine feet in order to support the proposed sidewalk and fagade. The pier
extension will be in the same orientation as the existing pier. The pier cap will be
lowered 12 inches to accept the proposed fagade. Some temporary disturbance will also
be necessary to construct the footing and stem for the pier extension. The disturbed area
will be returned to its original condition at the end of the pier construction.
The widening of the abutment for the sidewalk and faEade on the north side of Gore
Creek will require a minor amount of construction within the 100-year floodplain
(approximately 30 square feet). This encroachment is behind the plane of the abutment face. A temporary disturbance within the floodplain will be necessary during
F:\2005\P05 I l6 - Cascade Village\corespondence\PEC Summary revl.doc
construction. The disturbed area will be returned to its orieinal condition at the
completion of the abutment modifications.
D. Low Chord
The existing low chord elevation (underside of the superstructure) will be maintained for
the entire width of both spans. The bottom of the center pier cap extension will be
lowered 12 inches. The pier cap is 4 inches wider than the pier stem on both sides. This
slightly wider cap will extend 12 inches below the 100-year water surface elevation.
E. Summarv
The only permanent encroachments on the 100-year floodplain will be at the center pier
and north pier of the bridge. The hydraulic analysis for the proposed modifications
indicates that the modifications will not affect the 100-vear water surface elevation.
2. Skier/Pedestrian Bridge
A. General
The existing skier/pedestrian bridge will have its superstructure completely replaced.
The total width of the bridge will be increased from approximately 1l feet to 2l feet.
The bridge is a single span structure without any pier in Gore Creek. The existing
abutments are both located outside ofthe 100-year floodplain.
B. Abutment Modifications
Both abutments will be left in place and will be extended on both the upstream and
downstream sides. New wingwalls will also be constructed at all four corners of the
bridge. These modifications will be located outside of the 100-year floodplain.
Temporary disturbance within the floodplain will be necessary during construction but
the disturbed areas will be restored to their original condition at the completion of the
abutment modifi cations.
C.Low Chord
The Iow chord (underside of the superstructure) will remain at its existing elevation.
D. Summary
No permanent disturbance within the 100-year floodplain will occur as a result of the
proposed improvements.

Re: Cascade Metro District Bridge Improvements - 100 Yr. Floodplain Analysis
Date: 612l/05
The Town of Vail Public Works Department has reviewed the Cascade Metro District Bridge
Improvements 100 Yr. Floodplain Analysis completed by Alpine Engineering and frnd thai
based on Alpine's analysis the 100 Yr. Floodplain will not be substantially impacted due to the
Westhaven Drive Bridge and Westhaven Skier Bridge Improvements. Alpine's floodplain
analysis shows no increase in the Base Flood Elevations @FE's) as a result of the final
configuration of the improvements and only negligible velocity increases.
Due to the nature of this construction being adjacent and within the existing 100 year floodplain,
staff recommends that a pre-construction and post construction detailed survey is prepared in
order to ensure that no additional grade changes occur within the floodplain other than what is
currently proposed and analyzed by Alpine Engineering's floodplain study, and that all
temporarily disturbed areas due to construction are brought back to existing conditions. Any
changes to the current design plans will be required to undergo a revised floodplain study.
In addition it should be noted that the developer/contractor shall obtain the proper
approvaVpermits from the Army Core of Engineers and the Division of Wildlife.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Cascade Village Metropolitan District (CVMD) is proposing improvements to two
(2) existing bridges in Cascade Village, Vail, Colorado. The proposed improvements
will be made to the Westhaven Drive bridge structure and the skier/pedeshian bridge
south of Liftside Hotel. Each stucture spans Gore Creek and are located in Section 12,
Township 5 South, Range 82 West of the 6tr Principal Meridian.
II. DESIGN CRITERIA
The U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS Version 3.1.3 computer program was used
to calculate water surface profi.les for the existing and proposed conditions. The program
was nrn for subcritical flows. The Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS (V3.1.3)
program was used in conjunction with the HEC-2 input data to plot profiles and cross-
sections. Manning's "n" values of 0.04 and 0.08 were used for channel and overbank
calculations respectively. The hydraulic analysis for this study were based on
unobstructed flow. Cross-sections for the study areas at the Westhaven bridge and the
skier/ped bridge were provided by AJpine Engineering, Inc. The North American
Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD) was used as the referenced vertical datum.

PROPOSED IMPRO11EMENTS
1. WESTHAVENBRIDGE
The existing Westhaven bridge structure will be widened approximately 8,
(feet) on the west side of the existing bridge to accommodate a pedestrian
sidewalk. The proposed improvement will require a widening of the
existing north abutnent as well as the center bridge pier. A
stone veaeer will be added to the sidewalls of the existing bridge. Based
on the current stuctural design, the north abuhnent will be extended
approximately 8' (feet) to the west. Installation of this abutment will
occur within the existing floodplain. The width of the south abubnent will
not change. A bearing seat will be installed south of the existing
wingwall. The center bridge pier will be extended approximately 8' (feet)
to the west and 15" (inches) to the east. This work will occur within Gore
Creek.
Skier/Pedestrian Bridge
Proposed improvements to the existing skier/pedestrian bridge will include
widening the bridge approximately 5' (feet) on the east and west sides of
the bridge. The existing abutments will be widened approximately 5'
(feet) and new wingwalls will be added. Per the crment design, these
permanent improvements will occur outside the existing floodplain.

IV. HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS
1. Westhaven Drive Bridse
The Westhaven Drive bridge structure is located upstream of Buffehr
Creek and downstream ofRed Sandstone Creek. Per the "Flood Insurance
Study, Eagle County, Colorado, and Incorporated Areas,. the 100 year
peak discharge will be 2,620 cfs(Table I - Summary of Dscharges).
Further, the re,port indicates that the section immediately above the
Westhaven Drive (Section T/Figure 62P) has a cross sectional area and
mean velocity of 251 - SF and 10.4 fps respectively. For purposes of our
analysis, we have interpolated a floW of Q/100 : 2610.4 cfs.
Based on our analysis and the current structural design, we see no
appreciable change in the water surface profile at the Westhaven Drive
bridge. In order to effect the proposed improveme,nts, construction
activity will be required within the existing floodplain and Gore Creelg but
the permanent additions to the Westhaven Drive bridge wiil have
negligible effects.
SkierlPedestrian Bridge
The proposed improvements to the skier/pedestrian bridge will require
construction activity within the existing floodplain and Gore Creek, but
the permanent improvements will be located outside of the floodplain.
The improvements will have no appreciable impacts to the floodplain

Cascade Village Metropolitan District Capital Improvements
Bridge Improvements - Wetlands Study
On May 4,2005 I made site visits to both the Westhaven Drive Bridge and the Skier/Pedestrian
Bridge, located approximately r/a mile upsffeam from the Westhaven Bridge (See attached
location plans). This site visit was conducted jointly with Steven Banks from LONCO, Inc. the
prime consultant on the project. The purpose of the site visit was to review the areas adjacent to
each bridge to determine if any. wetlands were present. The results of the wetlands survey will be
used to support the US Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Permit application and for other
submittals to govemment authorities.
My inspection of the Westhaven Bridge site revealed that there were no wetlands present in the
vicinity of this bridge.
My inspection.of the Skier/Pedestrian Bridge site revealed an area of wetlands on the northem
bank of Gore Creek, centered about 40 feet west of the bridge and well beyond the Iimits of any
proposed improvements. I delineated this area of wetlands and it was surveyed and is depicted
on the attached sketch. The closest this area of wetlands comes to the existing bridge is
approximately 25 feet. Based on the proposed improvements, no wetlands will be impacted.
However, proposed activities will occur within the limits of Gore Creek, which are Waters of the
U.S., and will require prior acquisition of a Section 404 permit.

May 27,2005
Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer
Town of Vail
1309 Elkhorn Drive
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Tom,
We are writing to express our serious concerns regarding the
possibility of the addition of a pedestrian lane to the south side of
the bridge on Westhaven Drive over Gore Creek. We believe that
the new pedestrian lane should be installed on the north side of
the bridge for both safety and aesthetic reasons.
We live fulltime at 1415N Westhaven Drive, which is the
first house on the south as you cross the bridge entering Glenlyon
subdivision.
It is our observation that, for both safety and aesthetic
reasons, the pedestrian walkway will be most effective if nlaced
on the north side of the bridge, the side on which the
Coldstream and Park Meadows Condominiums are located.
SAFETY CONCERNS:
Living on the stream and immediately at the bridge, fulltime, has
afforded us the opportunity, unlike anyone else, to watch
pedestrians on a regular basis as they travel to and from both
Coldstream and Park Meadows. Their scattered traffic pattems
have always been a safety concem from our vantage point.
Frankly, we are amazed that a serious personal injury has not
occurred since very few vehicles travel at the 25mph speed limit
along a road witL{ limit€d vision. In the summertime, many small
children, walking, or on scooters, etc, often accompany groups
with baby strollers and/or dogs, etc. In the wintertime, skiers
carrying equipment emerge from both Coldstream and Park
Meadows in large groups on their way to Chairlift 20. These
groups generally scatter all over the street looking for direction to
the Gore Valley Trail. This presents a real possibility of personal
injury as fast moving cars and truc.ks unexpectedly encounter such
groups.
LOGICAL SOLUTION:
Keeping the pedestrian flow on the north side of the street where
the pedestrians originate would be the safer choice. Installation of
a short sidewalk outside the entrance to Coldstream leading to a
pedestrian walkway across the bridge would concentrate people on
the north and out of the middle of the street. Groups visually seek
direction across the bridge, so such an affangement would keep
them from fanning out all over the street, as we see now. A
painted crosswalk on the street at the northeastem end of the
bridge could then lead them over to Gore Valley Trail and on their
way. Placing the new walkway on the south would continue to
encourage pedestrians from Coldstream and Park Meadows to
spread randomly around on the street as they seek a way
across the bridge.
AESTHETIC CONCERNS
Other than the safety issue, which is undoubtedly the most
important, we, as permanent, fulltime homeowners know that
placing the pedestrian lane on the north will more fully protect the
beauty of our properfy. We are proud to call Vail our fulltime
home and have worked diligently to maintain our grounds for our
benefit as well as for that of our neighbors and visitors. At this
point, as we have outlined in the section above on SAFETY
CONCERNS, pedestrians from Park Meadows and Coldstream
generally walk in groups down the middle of the street. If the new
pedestrian walkway is installed on the south, these same groups
will practically be led directly into our yard. Placing the new
walkway on the north will not infringe on any private
homeowner's private property as it will impact us on the south.
Placing the new pedestrian wallrway on the north side of the
bridge will protect both the pedestrians and our property.
CONCLUSION
In making your decision whether to place the bridge walkway on
the north or the south, please consider the safety issues we have
pointed out as well as the aesthetic ones. We know that
improvements such as this walkway require much study. We
know that the well-being of the stream, trees and boulders, as well
as utility placement and land lines are considerations, but placing
the new pedestrian lane on the north side of the bridge is
clearly the better choice for the well-being of the locals and the
visitors to this area. We will appreciate your support!
Sincerelv.

Dear Mr. Kossmel,
Wearewriting to express our concern regording the locotion of the proposed pedestrion lone on the
Westhoven Drive Bridge. We have o home ot the top of Westhoven Circle ond find thot the foot troff ic
emerging from Coldstream ond Pork Meodows spreads out in oll directions ond ot oll points ocross the rood,
makingitodangerous areoforpedestriansonddriversolike.Anyprojectthotwill keeppedestriansoutof
the middle of the rood is o good one, however, it seems thot keeping oll the traffic on the north side of ihe
road until the bridge hos been crossed would decreose the likelihood of an occident. The north side of the
rood would olso moke sense for o sideunlk oll the woy from Greenhill to the porking strucfure, ovoiding
pedestrians crossirg in front of troffic emerging from both of the Westhovqr Circle interseciions.
We request thst our comments be considered ond subrnitted with any opplicotions for this prgject.
Thonk you.

Mr. Tom Kassmel, Vail Town Engineer
Dear Mr. Kassmel:
My wife and I own a house in Glen Lyon at 1150 Westhaven Lane and were
recently advised that the Town is considering installing a pedestrian
pathway on the bridge on the east side of the bridge rather than on the
west side directly adjacent to the Cold Stream condominiums. lt seems
to us that most pedestrian traffic during the ski season will be coming
from the Cold Steam condominiums since that is where the bulk of the
density on the north side of the bridge is located. lt makes no sense
to us to have the pathway on the east side of the bridge rather than on
the west side. We have to drive over the bridge to get to Westhaven
Lane and to have skiers crossing the road after they cross the bridge
seems to be a safety risk. Further it may encourage Cold Stream
pedestrians to walk on the side of the road adjacent to Cold Stream
rather than using the pedestrian pathway thereby defeating the purpose
of the pathway. Since we can think of no benefit to having the
pedestrian bridge on the opposite side of the street, it seems to us
thal the Town should locate the pathway directly adjacent to Cold
Stream.
lwould appreciate your advice as to what you intend to recommend to the
Town on this matter and why. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely
Robert Rosen

Re: Cascade Metro District Bridge Improvements - 100 Yr. Floodplain Analysis
Date: 6/21105
The Town of Vail Public Works Dopartment has reviewed the Cascade Metro District Bridge
Improvements 100 Yr. Floodplain Analysis completed by Alpine Engineering and find that
based on Alpine's analysis the 100 Yr. Floodplain will not be substantially impacted due to the
Westhaven Drive Bridge and Westhaven Skier Bridge lmprovements. Alpine's floodplain
analysis shows no increase in the Base Flood Elevations @FE's) as a result of the final
configuration of the improvements and only negligible velocity increases,
Due to the nature of this construction being adjacent and within the existing 100 year floodplain,
staffrecommends that a pre-construction and post construction detailed survey is prepared in
order to ensure that no additional grade changes occur within the floodplain other than what is
currentlyproposed and analyzed by Alpine Engineering's floodplain study, and th_at all
temporarily disturbed areas due to construction are brought back to existing conditions. Any
changeb to the current desigrr plans will be required to undergo a revised floodplain study.
In addition it should be noted that the developer/contractor shall obtain the proper
approvaVpermits from the Army Core of Engineers and the Division of Wildlife.

RE: Cascade Village - Westhaven Bridge and Skier Bridge remodel
Dear Steve,
The Town of Vail Staff has preliminarily reviewed the design review application for the proposed remodel
of the Westhaven Bridge and Skier Bridge at Cascade Village. The following is a summary of the
comments from that review:
. Submit a demolition plan, structural design plans, utility plans, utility relocation plans, site plan,
grading plan, landscaping/tree prolection plan, erosion control plans, and all necessary details.
The structural design plans must be designed and slamped by a struclural professional engineer.
. Submit a structural analysis of the existing bridges to determine existing integrity and capacity for
additional loads.
. The Town of Vail will not maintain a pedestrian bridge with a width of 6 feet; therefore, a
maintenance agreement must be executed between the Cascade Village Metropolitan District
and the Town of Vail. However, the Town of Vail will maintain the pedestrian bridge if the width is
increased to at least 10 feet and/or the barrier is removed between the road and pedestrian path.
. A floodplain analysis is required for any construction disturbance within the 100 year floodplain
andior if the bridge widening occurs on the east side of the bridge. A minimum of 1 foot of
freeboard is required from the proposed low chord.
. Any grading within the 100 year floodplain will reguired Town of Vail Planning and Environmental
Commission review and approval.
. A wetlands delineation study is required, along with all necessary wetlands mitigation and Army
Corp of Engineers permits.
. A Town of Vail Storm Water Discharge Permit is required.
. A Town of Vail Revocable Right-of-Way permit is required.
. A State of Colorado Dewatering Permit is required.
. Coordination with the State of Colorado Division of Wildlife is required prior to construction.
. Any street disturbances (i.e. street cuts) must be coordinated with the Town of Vail Public Works
Department prior to June 15, 2005. Westhaven Drive will be reconstructed/repaved this summer,
and a s-year street disturbance moratorium will become effective once construction is completed.

traffic control plan, bikepath detour plan,.
5. Provide existing survey spot elevations that accurately reflect existing conditions within
the floodplain that will be used to match to for the post construction survey for both
bridges.
6. Provide engineers stamp on all necessary plans.
7. A dewatering permit should be applied for prior to Building permit submittal.
8. Approval from the ACOE, DOW shall be in hand prior to building permit approval.

and replaced with a section of 3" HMA over 6" Class 6 base course OR milled and
overlayed. In either case the seams shall be infrared.
2. Show limts of disturbance fence.
3. Provide note that all disturbed areas will be required to be revegetated with an approved
seed mix.
4. The longitudinal slope along the bridge is inadequate for drainage, please note on plans
where crowned bridge will drain.
5. Confirm with other utilities that additional conduit should not be run beneath bridge for
fufure use.
6. The Demo plan shows wrong linetype for existing water line.
Please sholv all trees driplines that are potentially affected by construcfion accurately.
(i.e. those trees on the southwest side that are behind the existing boulders to be
relocated, is this feasible without damageing the trees root system?, the tree at the SW
comer of the bridge will most likely need to be limbed to accommodate construction and
the pedestrian bridge, please note.)

Curb and gutter on the south side shall match into the proposed pan across coldstream
driveway. A fillet section and curb radias should be added to connection point. Needs to
be coordinated prior to Road Project concrete pour across Coldstream.
An inlet and outfall will be required on the south side of the bridge so storm drainage
does not cross the bridge, as there is no conveyance across the bridge.
The walk connection on the north side of the bridge will need to be coordiaated with the
proposed Town sidewalk project from the "ruins" to the bridge.
The proposed wing wall on the northwest side will impact an existing storm sewer pipe
and most likely the existing pine root system. Please note mitigation or re align. Show
grading in this area.
10. An arborist will should be retained to preserve the existing trees.
I L The light pole noted to be relocated by others will be required to be relocated by the
developer.
12. The Aspens proposed on the SE corner will be required to have a revocable ROW permit
and shall be placed not to impact future maintenance of the 30" CMP that was just
recently installed.
13. Note drainage for the ZYo cross slope on the ped bridge.
14. Show relocation ofutility pedestals.
Cascade Skier Plaza
l. Provide spot elevations along all match points, grade breaks and low points. (i.e.
concrete slab, Lift Ticket building, existing pavers, existing paved walk, manholes, inlet,
etc...)
2. Show slopes of proposed pavers, should be minimum lolo.

Proposed Bridge fmprovements
Submittal to:
Town of Vail
Planning and Environmental Commission
1. Westbaven Drive Bridge fmprovements:
A. General
The proposed improvements for this bridge include constructing an arched, stone faced
fagade on the upstream side of the bridge. A 6-foot wide sidewalk and a similar stone
faced fagade are also proposed on the downstream side of the bridge.
B. Upstream Side of the Bridge
Modifications to the existing foundations on tbe upstream side to accommodate the new
fagade will be minimal. Some disturbance within the floodplain will be necessary during
construction at both abutments but at the end of construction, the ground will be restored
to its current condition.
The center pier on the upstream side will have to be extended by approximately two to
tluee feet to support the new fagade. The pier extension will be in the same orientation as
the existing pier. The pier cap will be lowered 12 inches to accept the proposed fagade.
Some temporary disturbance will also be necessary for construction but will be restored
to its current condition at completion of the pier modifications.
C. Downstream Side of the Bridge
Modifications to the existing foundations on the downstream side of the bridge to
accommodate the new sidewalk and fagade will also be required. The abutment for the
sidewalk structure and the fagade on the south side of Gore Creek will be located behind
the existing wingwall and be founded on small diameter "micropiles". There will be no
temporary or permanent impacts within the 100-year floodplain at this location.
The center pier on the downstream side of the bridge will need to be extended
approximately nine feet in order to support the proposed sidewalk and fagade. The pier
extension will be in the same orientation as the existing pier. The pier cap will be
lowered 12 inches to accept the proposed fagade. Some temporary disturbance will also
be necessary to construct the footing and stem for the pier extension. The disturbed area
will be retumed to its original condition at the end of the pier construction.
The widening of the abutment for the sidewalk and fagade on the north side of Gore
Creek will require a minor amount of construction within the 100-year floodplain
(approximately 30 square feet). This encroachment is behind the plane of the abutment
face. A temporary disturbance within the floodplain will be necessary during
F12005\P05 I l6 - Cascade Village\conespondence\PEc Surunary revl.doc
construction. The disturbed area will be returned to its originat condition at the
cornpletion of the abutment modifications.
D. Low Chord
The existing low chord elevation (underside of the superstructure) will be maintained for
the entire width of borh spans. The bottom of the center pier cap extension will be
Iowered 12 inches. The pier cap is 4 inches wider than the pier stem on both sides. This
slighlly wider cap will extend 12 inches below the 100-year water surface elevation.
E. Summarv
The only pennanent encroachments on the 100-year floodplain will be at the center pier
and north pier of the bridge. The hydraulic analysis for the proposed modifications
indicates that the modifications will not affect the 100-vear water surface elevation.
2. Skier/Pedestrian Bridge
A. General
The existing skier/pedestrian bridge will have its superstructure completely replaced.
The total width of the bridge will be increased from approximately 1l feet to 21 feet.
The bridge is a single span structure without any pier in Gore Creek. The existing
abutments are both located outside ofthe 100-yearfloodplain.
B. Abutment Modifications
Both abutments will be left in place and will be extended on both the upstream and
downstream sides. New wingwalls will also be constructed at all four corners of the
bridge. These modifications will be located outside of the 100-year floodplain.
Temporary disturbance within the floodplain will be necessary during construction but
the disturbed areas will be restored to their original condition at the completion of the
abutment modifi cations.
C. Low Chord
The low chord (underside of the superstructure) will remain at its existing elevation.
D. Summarv
No permanent disturbance within the 100-year floodplain will occur as a result of the
proposed improvements.

Re: Cascade Metro District Bridge lmprovements - 100 Yr. Floodplain Analysis
Date: 6/21/05
The Town ofVail Public Works Departrnent has reviewed the Cascade Metro District Bridge
Improvements 100 Yr. Floodplain Analysis completed byAlpine Engineeriag and find that
based on Alpine's analysis the 100 Yr. Floodplain will not be substantially impacted duq to the
Westhaven Drive Bridge and Westhaven Skier Bridge Improvements. Alpine's floodplain
analysis shows no increase in the Base Flood Elevations @FE's) as a result of the final
configuration of the improvements and only negligible velocity increases.
Due to the nature of this construction being adjacent and within the existing 100 year floodplain,
staff recommends that a pre-construction and post construction detailed survey is prepared in
order to ensure that no additional grad,e changes occw within the floodplain other than what is
currently proposed and analyzed by Alpine Engineering's floodplain study, and that all
temporarily disturbed areas due to construction are brought back to existing conditions. Any
changes to the current desigrr plans will be required to undergo a revised floodplain sfudy.
In addition it should be noted that the developer/contractor shall obtain the proper
approval/permits from the Army Core of Engineers and the Division of Wildlife.

I. INTRODUCTION
The Cascade Village Metropolitan District (CVI\4D) is proposing improvements to two
(2) existing bridges in Cascade Village, Vail, Colorado. The proposed improve,ments
witl be made to the Westhaven Drive bridge skucture and the skier/pedestrian bridge
south of Liftside Hotel. Each sfucture spans Gore Creek and are located in Section 12,
Township 5 South, Range 82 West of the 66 Principat Meridian.
II. DESIGN CRITERIA
The U.S. Amry Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS Version 3.1.3 computer program was used
to calculate water surface profiles for the existing and proposed conditions. The program
was run for subcritical flows. The Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS (V3,1.3)
program was used in conjunction with the HEC-2 input data to plot profiles and cross-
sections. Manning's'in" values of 0.04 aad 0.08 wereused for channel and overbank
calculations respectively. The hydraulic analysis for this study were based on
unobstructed flow. Cross-secfions for the study areas at the Westlaven bridge and the
skier/ped bridge were provided by Alpine Engineering Inc. The North American
Vertical Datum of 1988 QI{AVD) was used as the referenced vertical datum.

UI. PROPOSED IMPROVEMBNTS
. 1. WEST&|VEN BRTDGE
The existing westhaven bridge structure will be widened approximately g'
(feet) on the west side of the existing bridge to accommodate a pedestrian
sidewalk. The propose.d improvement will require a widening of the
existing north abubnent as well as the center bridge pier. A
stone veneer will be added to the sidewalls of the existing bridge. Based
on the current stuctural design, the nortl abutrnent will be extended
approximately 8' (feet) to the west. lnstallation of this abutment will
occrn within the existing floodplain. The width of the south abutment will
not change. A bearing seat will be installed south of the existing
wingwall. The center bridge pier will be extended approximately 8' (feet)
to the west and 15- (inches) to the east. This work will occur within Gore
Creek.
2. Skier/Pedestrian Bridge
Proposed improve,t:rents to the existing skier/pedestian bridge will include
widening the bridge approximately 5' (feet) on the east and west sides of
the bridge. The existing abutments will be widened approximately 5'
(feet) and new wingwalls will be added. Per the current design, these
permanent improvernents will occur outside the existing floodplain.
C\A4D Floodplain Study
Iv. HYDRAI]LICANALYSF
1. Westhaven Drive Bridse
The Westhaven Drive bridge structr:re is located upstream of Buffehr
Creek and downstream of Red Sandstone Creek Psr the "Flood Insurance
Study, Eagle County, Colorado, and Incorporated Areas," the 100 year
peak discharge will be 2,620 cfs (Table I - Suurmary of Discharges).
Further, the report indicates that the section immediately above the
Westhaven Drive (Section T/Figure 62P) has a qross sectional area and
meau velocity of 251 - SF and 10.4 fps respectively. For pnrposes of our
analysis, we have interpolated a flow of Q/l 00 = 2610.4 cfs.
Based on our analysis and the current structural desiga, we see no
appreciable change in the water surface profile at the Westhaven Drive
bridge. In order to effect the proposed improvements, construction
acfivity will be roquired within the existing floodplain and Gore Creelg but
the permanent additions to the Westhaven Drive bridge will have
negligible effects.
Skier/Pedestrian Bridse
The proposed improvements to the skier/pedestrian bridge will require
construction activity within the existing floodplain and Gore Creelg but
the permanent improvernents will be located outside of the floodplain.
The improvements will have no appreciable impacts to the floodplain.

Cascade Village Metropolitan District Capital Improvements
Bridge Improvements - Wetlands Study
On May 4,2005 I made site visits to both the Westhaven Drive Bridge and the
Bridge, located approximately Vt mile upstream from the Westhaven Bridge (See
location plans). This site visit was conducted jointly with Steven Banks from LONCO,c. the
prime consultant on the project. The purpose of the site visit was to review the areas adj to
each bridge to determine if any wetlands were present. The results of the wetlands survey ill be
used to support the US Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Permit application and fl other
submittals to government authorities.
My inspection of the Westhaven Bridge site revealed that there were no wetlands present
vicinity of this bridge.
My inspection of the SkierlPedestrian Bridge site revealed an area of wetlands on the
bank of Gore Creek, centered about 40 feet west of rhe bridge and well beyond the limits any
proposed improvements. I delineated this area of wetlands and it was surveyed and is icted
on the attached sketch. The closest this area of wetlands comes to the existing bri 1S
approximately 25 feet. Based on the proposed improvements, no wetlands will be i
However, proposed activities will occur within the limits of Gore Creek, which are Waters
U.S., and will require prior acquisition of a Section 404 permit.

Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer
Town of Vail
1309 Elkhorn Drive
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Tom,
We are writing to express our serious concerns regarding the
possibility of the addition of a pedestrian lane to the south side of
the bridge on Westhaven Drive over Gore Creek. We believe that
the new pedestrian lane should be installed on the north side of
the bridge for both safety and aesthetic reasons.
We live fulltime at 1415N Westhaven Drive, which is the
first house on the south as you cross the bridge entering Glenlyon
subdivision.
It is our observation that, for both safety and aesthetic
reasons, the pedestrian wallwav will be most effective if placed
on the north side of the bridee, the side on which the
Coldstream and Park Meadows Condominiums are located.
SAFETY CONCERNS:
Living on the stream and immediately at the bridge, fulltime,
afforded us the opportunity, unlike anyone else, to watch
pedestrians on a regular basis as they travel to and from both
Coldstream and Park Meadows. Their scattered traffic
have always been a safety concern from our vantage point.
Frankly, we are amazed that a serious personal itjury has not
occurred since very few vehicles travel at the 25mph speed li
along a road with limited vision. In the summertime, many s
children, walking, or on scooters, etc, often accompany groups
with baby strollers and/or dogs, etc. In the wintertime, skiers
carrying equipment emerge from both Coldstream and Park
Meadows in large groups on their way to Chairlift 20. These
groups generally scatter all over the street looking for direction
the Gore Valley Trail. This presents a real possibility of perso
injury as fast moving cars and trucks unexpectedly encounter
groups.
LOGICAL SOLUTION:
Keeping the pedestrian flow on the north side of the street wher
the pedestrians originate would be the safer choice. Installationlof
a short sidewalk outside the entrance to Coldstream leading to
pedestrian walkway across the bridge would concentrate peoplelon
the north and out of the middle of the street. Groups visually sepk
direction across the bridge, so such an arrangement would keep
them from fanning out all over the street, as we see now. A
painted crosswalk on the street atthe northeastern end of the
bridge could then lead them over to Gore Valley Trail and on thpir
way. Placing the new walkway on the south would continue
encourage pedestrians from Coldstream and Park Meadows'to
spread randomly around on the street as they seek a way
across the bridge.
ll
ch
AESTHETIC CONCERNS
Other than the safety issue, which is undoubtedly the most
important, we, as permanent, fulltime homeowners know that
placing the pedestrian lane on the north will more fully protect the
beauty of our properfy. We are proud to call Vail our fulltime
home and have worked diligently to maintain our grounds for our
benefit as well as for that of our neighbors and visitors. At this
point, as we have outlined in the section above on SAFETY
CONCERNS, pedestrians from Park Meadows and Coldstream
generally walk in groups down the middle of the street. If the new
pedestrian walkway is installed on the south, these same groups
will practically be led directly into our yard. Placing the new
walkway on the north will not infringe on any private
homeowner's private properfy as it will impact us on the south.
Placing the new pedestrian walkway on the north side of the
bridge will protect both the pedestrians and our property.
CONCLUSION
In making your decision whether to place the bridge walkway on
the north or the south, please consider the safety issues we have
pointed out as well as the aesthetic ones. We know that
improvements such as this walkway require much study. We
know that the well-being of the stream, trees and boulders, as well
as utility placement and land lines are considerations, but placing
the new pedestrian lane on the north side of the bridge is
clearly the better choice for the well-being of the locals and the
visitors to this are&. We will appreciate your support!
Sincerely,
Clt*rq

Mr. Tom Kassmel, Vail Town Engineer
Dear Mr. Kassmel:
My wife and I own a house in Glen Lyon at 1150 Westhaven Lane and were
recently advised that the Town is considering installing a pedestrian
pathway on the bridge on ihe east side of the bridge rather than on the
west side directly adjacent to the Cold Stream condominiums. lt seems
to us that most pedestrian traffic during the ski season will be coming
from the Cold Steam condominiums since that is where the bulk of the
density on the north side of the bridge is located. lt makes no sense
to us to have the pathway on the east side of the bridge raiher than on
the west side. We have to drive over the bridge to get to Westhaven
Lane and to have skiers crossing the road after they cross the bridge
seems to be a safety risk. Further it may encourage Cold Stream
pedestrians to walk on the side of the road adjacent to Cold Stream
rather than using the pedestrian pathway thereby defeating the purpose
of the pathway. Since we can think of no benefit to having the
pedestrian bridge on the opposite side of the street, it seems to us
that the Town should locate the pathway directly adjacent to Cold
Stream.
I would appreciate your advice as to what you intend to recommend to the
Town on this maiter and why. Thank you for your conqideration.
Sincerely
Roberl Rosen

Cascade Village Bridge lmprovements - Updated Hydraulic Study Exhibit
I spoke with Tom about the inconsistency in the exhibitfor the Skier Bridge that accompanied the
hydraulic sludy. We have modified the exhibit to reflect the proposed configuration at the abutment. This
configuration will require that the abutment be completely replaced rather than extending the existing
abutments as was originally intended. The proposed configuration involves no permanent encroachment
into the 1O0-year floodplain at the Skier Bridge. Since the overall exhibit is to a small scale, we have also
attached larger scale partial plans at each abutmeni. Please use these exhibits to replace the exhibit that
was originally included. The exhibits should now be consistent with the hydraulic study.
As I mentioned in our phone conversation, l'll put four stakes, two adjacent to each abutment, at the
Westhaven Bridge that represent the outer width of the proposed improvements. At the Skier Bridge, l'll
put four stakes that represent where the front face of the new abutmenvwingwall corners will be located.
Thanks.

Proposed Bridge Improvements - Westhaven Drive Bridge and Skier Bridge
Request for Design Review Board Final Approval
Dear Bill,
We have attached herewith, the required documents for consideration for final approval by the Design
Review Board (DRB). We would appreciate being added to the DRB agenda for the August 3,2005
meeting.
In your letter of April 29,2005 and our subsequent meeting on May 20,2005, you indicated certain
information that would need to be submitted for DRB final approval and other information would be
required for final Town approval for this project.
We have attached an application for final Design Review Board consideration along with the required
information. With regard to the bullet items in your April 29ft letter, the following are our responses:
r We are hereby submitting demolition plans, structural design plans, utiliry relocation plans,
site plans and landscaping/tree protection plans.
. Thc existing bridges were constructed back in the 1960's and even after extensive attempts to
find original design plans, we have not been able to do so.
With regard to the Westhaven Drive Bridge, the existing structure is visually load rated by
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), in accordance with their standard procedure.
The proposed widenings of the abutments and center pier are designed to take the full load of
the new construction without adding to the loads on the existing substrucfure. The existing
superstructure will have only a minimal increase in loading caused by the application of the
thin veneer stone to the existing parapets.
The proposed facades are independent of the existing bridge superstructure. The proposed
structure for the sidewalk (precast concrete double tees) is also independent of the existing
superstructure.

DRENDAN J. KE IX PE,
gTANLEY F. Ko|AYASH|. rE.
With regard to the Skier Bridge, atthough it is not inspected by CDOT, we have inspecred the bridge
and found the existing superstructure and,substructure to be in good condition. The initial concept
was to widen both the existing substruture and superstructure. Since the conceptual submittal to the
DRB was made, discussions with the Town, Vail Resorts and the Cascade Metropolitan District
regarding funding and functional requirements for the bridge have caused the plan to change. We are
still proposing widening the abutments (as previously proposed) but we now propose completely
replacing the superstructure with a composite steel girder tlpe structure. The widened abutments have
been designed to take the additional superstructure loads.
The Cascade Village Metropolitan District has agreed to provide snow removal on the 6-foot wide
sidewalk for the Westhaven Drive Bridge. A maintenance agreement to this affect will be executed
with the Town.
A floodplain analysis was submitted to the Town for the proposed improvernents. There will be minor
permanent encroachments into the 100-year flood plain at the Westhaven Drive Bridge. The .
floodplain study has indicated there will be no significant impact on the 100-year floodplain. No
penrxrnent encroachments into the 100-year floodplain will occur at the Skier Bridge.
The floodplain analysis and grading was submitted to the Planning and Environmental Commission
and was approved, with some stipulations, at their June l'l ,2W5 meeting.
A wetlands delineation was performed by a qualified environmental consultant. No wetlands will be
affected by this work. This study, as well as additional supporting information will be submitted with
an apalication for a US Army Section 404 permit.
Other permits, including a Town of Vail Stormwater Discharge Permit, a Town of Vail Revocable
Right-of-Way Permit, a State of Colorado Dewatering Permit and an Eagle County grading permit will
be obtained in the near future.
o Coordination has taken place with the Colorado Division of Wildlife and their concerns will be
addressed in the conffact documents.
o No disturbance of the planned paving is anricipared.
We have attached the appropriate items either noted in your letter or as required by the DRB application. If

July 25r 1983
Mr. Andy Norris
Xansfield tinited
1.000 South Frontage Road west
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Andy,
I am \^rriting to provide you rJith a brief letter
proposal to prelnre a design and supervise construction for a skier return trail to your property at Cascade Village and the
Westin Hotel. As you know this traiL would be essentially an
egress trail and as currently conceived, would run frortt the
simba trail at the Lionts Head area on Vail Hountain to the
Westin llotel. This trail would be designed to provide high capa-city egreEs for skiers of novice ability leveL ancl above.
I enjoyed meeting with you last week and on Thursday the
21st had an opportunity to walk the Lower portion of the trail with Joe Hacey from Vail Associates. f have adequate information to prepare a proposal at this point.
Two individuals from Sno-engineering nould be involved in t,his project with you, I will serve as principle in charge of
the project and Duke HalI wiIl. work on-site with V. A. personnel to represent your interests in the project.
In order to prepare our work, we recommend that professional assistance in addition to Sno-engineering be provided in two key areas: I ) Soils and 2.) tegal Survey. For soils we recommend that Chen Associates be retained and provide a speciflc {rainage anil slope stability plan. Doe to the nature of the J.egally subdividled land in the area, we auggest that an aE-built legal sur?ey be prepared for the trail after construction to assist you in future marketing efforts for the property.
For the construction of t.his traiI, we see our work plan
involving the fol lowing elenents:
New Hampshire and Colorado Post Offce Bor 11536 Aspen. Colorado 8t612 (3O3) 925-66t5
nn$fiegunsE'.'t
l. Review topographic and survey napping for the site
2. SiEe reconnaissance vith Vail Personnel 3. Preliminary flagging of trail in fielcl 4. organize soil consulEant; field insPection 5. Final flagging 5. Preparation of report and plan of proposed trail
7. Construction supervision
8. Final as-built legal survey
In addition to this' there will be local and U.S. Forest
Service permit activity involved. As we now understand it, the
Town of Vail will require approval through the conditional use
permit process and the U.S. Forest service wi)-l require a de-
Eail.ed iite plan for construction within the Valt pernit area. At
this point I an unclear as to what Ievel of involvement you will
require of sno-engineering in this permitting procests and tine
and fees required for loca1 and Federal permitg are not includecl in the budget as outlined below.
Proiect Budqet
Due to the uncertainty of the scoPe of our involvernent
on the project, our budget is based upon an estinate of hours
required for work as outlined above and the budget is estimated
here as a top-set fee which vri1l not be exceeded without prior
permission of the client. For items I through I as outlined
above, the project budget is estimated at $71000 in professional
fees plus direct expenses. Direct expenses wilI include the cost
for travel and lodging, meals'. teleBhone, telegraph, postage,printing and publishing etc. Direct expenses will not exceed
$70 0.
Services above and beyond t,hose outlined above will be billed at our published hourly rates' and for the two key
personnel on the project' would be as follows: Bill Kane,prlnciple in charger $80 per hour; Duke tlall, project planner,
$40 per hour.
Project Schedule
Work will begin on the lay-out of the t.rail irnrnediately
upon receipt of the signed agreement. As we understand it, Joe
Macy and Paul Testwuide fron Vail will be stringing the t,rail this week anil Duke will be available as soon as they are ready for us to look at it and provide changes if necessary.
''ffi;qg,s I ;
Client Responsibilities
It wilI be the responsibility of Hansfield Limited to provide Sno-engineering with legal access to the property to be studied to be ensure that Sno-engineering can do its work in an
unhindered nanner. It will also be necessary foE lrtandfield Limited to provide Sno-engineering with clean, reproduceable
copies of, the topographic survey of the portion of the Glen tyon through which the trail will be built.
Authorization
If the work program as outlined and the budget are acceptable to you, please sign the original copy of this letter and return it to our Aspen address and save the copy for your fi les.
We appreciate your interest in Sno-engineering and we look forward to doing a good job for you on the Vail-Westin

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
Vatl Associates and Cascade Village Association propose the con-
struction of a ski way connecting Sinba below the lower face to
the Cascade Village project. The ski way is to be constructed at an average grade of 10 percent, thereby enabling beginner.skiers usage. The ski way will be approximately 30-40 feet in width and wiLl be gronmed and parrolled.
The ski way wi1-1 be located entirely on either U.S, Forest Service permit land held by Vail Associates or private lands (Tract K owned by Gore Creek Associates and Lot 39-A or,,ned by Andrew D. Norris).
The ski way will traverse in a westerly direction the lower and
northern-most. edge of Tract K, to a point where iL will connect wlth the Gore Creek bicycle path. It will continue along the path to the Cascade Village pedestrian bridge and from there al-ong
the bicycle path to the Westin Hotel. The ski way is being
engineered to aecowrodate rnachine snow roaki-ng.
There wi11.be no physfeatr sttucEures constructed in connection with this project. It will be designed in accordance with the
standards imposed by the U.S. Forest Service and Vail AssociaLes
and, accordingly, include sigFage, erosion conLrol , drainage, etc.required on such improvements.

Dear Ernie:
As a result of the numerous discussions with Vait Associates,- --O,tt * U.ft of Sno-Engineering, and Forest Service staff ,- I would
iit* io clarify Ehe-approac6 and objectives as rte see them for
the constructibn of the l^lestinrHo skiway. First, regardless
of the status of the ForesE Managenent Plan, agreepent between
if,"-io.* of Vail, Vail Associatei, and Cascade Village/Weslin
has been readied for the construction of the Westin-Ho trail
during 1983. As you are aware, the trail nay b9 constructed
on exlstine permii: land and private proPerty. I have described
i; to''-;t -iipott"ttee o.f having this- facility for the 1983/84
sealon.to aecbrunodate the guesi reguireinents of Westin's first
eomplete ski season. Based on Jp5 guest_rgom.s.and 852_oecuPancy'
W;;Lin projects a total af 42,000 potenli.l--skiers during the
ioittreoir:.o!, ".r"on. The Westin-Ho lrail will greatly_improve
the qualititive experience for a substantial number of VaiL
visitors.
A11- parties concerrred generally agree that a Westin-Ho-alignment
that uses a smal1 aruouit of non-peroj-t Forest Service land in
trtro locations is preferable Eo the initial design. Aecorditgly,
we have field staked this alignment and asked Sno-Engineering
to prepare an Environmental Assessment as to the impact of
the;prbposed trail on these lands-
I{e fully understand the Proeess.that i.he Forest Service is now
invol-ve-d with on the appiovaL of the proposed ManageBent.Plan.
We understand that no expansion of pennit for Vail Associates
oay be granted until the perioa gf p*.lic coumrent has been
cofrpletEd, on or about November 1, 1983. We understand that
g4dlr normal circpmstances, the Forest Service can;1ot pe:mit
.ott*tro.tion in its land until a permit has been issued. We
have proposed pursuing the preferred alignment under the
t
!{r. Ernie i{unn
Page 2
I^ugust 11, 1983
assrrnption Ehat Vail Associates will be granted the expanded
D;;iL on or about November 1 and that construction on Forest d 'Service lands would occur in November. If such construction
ro"fa-11ot be undertaken in 1983, the balance of the traiL would
be completed on non-Forest Service land to enable trail- operati-on
this winter with Lhe additional work on Forest Service land
completed in 1984.
No agreement exists for any other- inprovercents to ski terrain
in tf,e Cascade Village area. hTe have agreed to conplete.al
alisnment study for i Cascade Village chairlift just to determine
whefher it is ieasible geographically- trle do not think it
aDDroprlbte to csnslder-an-Environmei-rta1 Assessment of additional
tiiifi and/or lifL at this time. It is premature. Our experience
rtith Westin-Ho should provide some further data as to the
reguirements for future i.roprovements.
We stand ready to meet with representatives of the Forest
to furLher resolve our aPProach and Program at any ti^ue'
do not hesitate to contact me.

. Deer D*n and Andy,
As a result of Harry Framptonrs and my meeting with
Andy on June 10, we believe we are in a position to finallze a Joint position regarding both the lTestin Ho egress trail (the Trail), and Vail Associates construction access to our
Gore Creek punp house (the Pump House) site this summer.
Our understanding of tbe issues, and resolutions
agreed upon, are as follows:
Egresp Trail (Itestin Ho):
- Vail Assoclates agrees to proceed with the design,con$truction and operation of the Trail on the following basis:
1) Installation and operation of the Tral1'this year is not to be construed in any fashion as a conmitment on the part of VA to such operatlon in perpetuity, but is rather a trial operation, to be
revlewed and assessed on a year-to-year basis by both parties.
2) InstaLlation and operation of the Trail is not in in any way a. commitment on the part of VA to the future construction and nperation of the proposed Westin chairlift. However, VA
a.grees actively to pursue the feasibitity and viabllity of this lift within the framework of its Vail Mountain master planning process to be
completed not later than the end of the L984 calendar year. \

3) Installation and operation of .the Trail 1s not - in any q'ay a commitment by VA to extend its
snowmaking system to cover the Trail'
However, eventua] snovrmaking coverage will be
included in the trail design, and the need
for installation of snowmaking can be dlscussed
between the parties at the close of each operating
seasorr. (See Item 7, below). Capital and operating ' costs for any snowmaking system would be met
by l{estin/Cascade VilIage.
4) The technicaL design of the Trail is to be contracted
for and paid for'by lfestin/Cascade VilLage with a qualified lndependent ski area design firm, working
.. closely with VA planning personnel.
.5) The construction of the Trail- will be accomplished
by VA personnel under contract to 1{estin/
Cascadb Village on a tlme and materials pLus ten
percent basis.
6) The entire cost of autumn make-ready, winter operation
and sprlng closing of the Trai1, reasonable cost
estlmates for whieh are to be provided by VA ' prior to comrnencement of construction of the Trail,
are to be met by lVestin/Cascade Vi1lage, or the
Cascade Yillage Assoeiation, whichever entity/entities ls appropriate, by contract with VA'
?) A decision as to whether the ltestin IIo trail is to
contlnue in operation each successive year, is to
be made by the parties involved on a date each
spring prlor to the closing of Vail Mountain,
but not later than [Iay 1of the year in question.
Gore Creek Pumphouse.
- Ifestin/Cascad.e Village (W/CV) agree to provide VA
with the necessary temporary (surnmer of 1983) construction
easements, and permanent installation and maintenance
easements for the Gore Creek Pumphouse, Snowmaking Pipelines . and electric utiLity access on the foLlowing basis:
1) VA agrees to thq foregoing terms for the development
a.nd operatlon of the.Westin Ho trail.
Z) VA provides W/CV rvith definitive data on the location,
nature and extent of facilities involved in the
permanent installation of the Pumphouse.

BESSRIPTI0N 0F PR0P0SE-D USE
The request is to construct the I'Jestin-Ho ski trail from the lower face of the run
ea'lled Simba Run to the bicycle path east of the tlestin Hotel, The trail is
proposed to use Vail Associates ski-permitted land and land within Special
0evelopment District 4. The land which is permitted for skiing above SDD4 is
not in the Town's boundaries, and the conditional use permit ls required for
the portion of the trail within SDD4.
CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
llpon-review of Section 18.60, the Department of Connnunity Development recommends
approval of the conditional use permit based upon the following factors:
9olsiderat,iorl of Fa.ctors:
Relatl-o.-nship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Tonn.
Cascade Vil'lage ls slowly but sure'ly evolving as the third major "village" in
the Gore Valley. It is, of course, their desire to also be the fourth major
ski base serving Vail Mountain. This is imperative, they feel, to the success
of the l{estin Hotel. Congruent with this is the continuing efforts to locate
a chairlift connecting the mountain to the Village, Vail Associates has now
agreed "actively to pursue the feasibility and viability of this lift within
the framework of its Vail Mountain master planping process to be completed not later than the end of the .|984 calendar year."I
The ski trail is consistent w'ith the development objectives of the Town in that it connects Vail Mountain with the third major village and, in doing so, distributes
slcier population more evenly, thus'slight'ly reducing congestion in the existing
ar€as. Moreover' the planning staff agrees that skier connections from the Cascade/
ldestin complex are a necessity to the long range development of that area, as
long as negative impacts are not created in the process.

The deqree of use of this trail is somewhat of a quest'ion mark. Its intention
toi ttre time being is to be more or less of a service to the Cascade Village residents
and guests. It is doubtful that others would drive to the Cascade structure,
take-tte bus back to Lionshead or the Vil'lage, and then ski down to Cascade at
iiie-enC of the day. However, this could occur on the busiesi days of tlre ygar
when both parking structures are full. The limitjng factor is the availability
of parking at Cascade Vi'llage, which is quite ljmited at this stage. All in ali,
no negative congest'ion impacts should result at thjs stage.

The trail is being professionally engineered and designed by Sno Eng'ineering and
Vail Associates, and should not be a blight to the environment. Every'effort

FINDINGS
The Oepartment of Conrnun'ity Development recommends that the conditional use permit
be approved based on the following findings:
That the proposed locatjon of the use js in accord with the purposes of this
srdinance and the purposes of the district in which the site is located.
That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would
be operated or maintained would not be detrimenta'l to the public health, safety,
or lYelfare or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
That the proposed use wou'ld comply with each of the applicable provisions of
this ordinance.
STAFF REC$fiEI{OATIONS
The Department of Connrunity Development iecommends approval of the conditional
use permit for the llestin-Ho ski trail. }'le endorse the concept of connecting
Vail Mountain to Cascade Village via this proposal and be1ieve negative impacts will be avoided. The fo1lowing condition applies; All disturbed land located
within TOV boundaries be suitably re-vegetated.
FOOTNOTE:
It should be noted that there have been extensive discussions in recent weeks
hetween Andy Norris, Vail Associates, the Forest Service and the planning staff
regarding both the compficated jurisdictional requirements of this trai'l and its
opiimum location and alignment. The trai'l will 9o northwesterly off of the lower
face of Slmba Run (the furthest west trail of Vail Mountain's north side). Vail
Associates endorses the trail and is willing to construct it (they've already
begun construction on land located within their permitted area) this surrner and fall. Complications have arisen in that "optimum" alignment of the trail involves
using sma1l portions of non-permitted (for skiing) U.S. Forest Service Jand and
T0V-owned land zoned Agricultural and Open Space.
The area where the trail wou'ld cross currently non-permitted Forest Service land is proposed for skiing use'in the Forest Service's proposed Management Plan, now
under a 90 day public review process. Even if everything went smooth'ly and the
tlanagernent Plan were approved at the earliest date, the approval for use of that
land for skiing would not be unti'l November. Furthermore, the Town Council has
not discussed the use of TOV land for the ski trail.

ANALYSIS OT ALIGN}IENTS
I
Alignnent A Presents, by far, the best skiing alignrnents. llhis
route mitigates cross-s1opes, visual impacts, and
grade severity. ft gives an average slope of 10 to
12t that could accornmodate beginner leveI skiers and its alignnrent gives ts p€rrrrdn€nt ski r+ay that
would interact well with future traiL alignments
of f Vail i{ountain through the Hoorers freadow.
Alignment B The modification of the first switchback along the
new V.A. snowmaking alignment would present a 30 -35t slope face that woufd preelude it frorn being a
beginner route, the extension of switchback IV
would place the alignment in an area of severe cross slopes resulting in drarnatic visual inpacts resulting from the cut banks.
Alignnent C Although sirnilar to alignment B in the modification
of the first switchback, this route would avoid severe cross slopes. Ilowever, where al ignrnent
meets and foflows parallel to USFS boundary at
Glen Lyon lot *39, there $ould result a 40 to 501
length face of slope to 50t.
Alignnent D This alignnent lr/ould mitigate cross*slopes but would impact the bike path and give a less than desirable slope gradient along thg path to the bridge crossing core Creek. Due to the inodification of the first switchback at the po$rerline, this alignment would not give a
beginner rs route to the V;estin.

Dear Dick,
I am writing to provide you with a sumnary of our con-
clusiens and recommendatibns for construction of the WeEtin-Ho
tiiif'at vailr Colorado. As you know, sno-engineering was -retained as an independent consultant by MansfieLd Linited to
evaluate, design and supervise construction of a ski route from
ihe Simba trail on Vail lloLrntain to the Cascade Village and
Westin Hotel cornPlex.
The design phase for this work is conplete with recom-
mended nodificatibnJ to the trail alignrnent by Chen and Asso-
ciates. These nodifications wiIl allow us to avoid geologic
hizarda on the site. These nodifications have been incorporated
in a revised trail alignment that wifl be subnitted with the

' ntreiDrDtrn nF DDnDntFn ttcE : I. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED USE
r N The main feature of the uses requested with this application ls the lhs' ':proposed chairlift. The base of the lift would be located dlrectly east ]]|itr * of the future Terrace [.|ing expansion and would proceed up Uail Mountain r*-' . r.. $.r-, to deposit skiers on Simba Run. The lift would cross Gore Creek and
i4<mris t!'i^E\ continue over three residential lots in the GIen Lyon Subdlvision.
Related to the ski lift is a development of a transit center designed to
iLr*\'\ +acconnodate both Town of Vail buses and private shuttle vans. This transit way lncludes the development of new bus shelters as well as a
revised entry into the Cascade Village development. Related to the bus shelters is the future development of a small expansion of the Cascade
Club that wi'l 'l accormodate a lap pool
CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon review of Section 18.60, the Community Development Department
recomnends approval of the conditiona'l use permit based upon the
following factors:
A. Consideration of Factors
II.
The planning and development of Cascade Village has
ongoing process for the past nine years. Fron the

beginning, the
--rrlroviding guest aEcornnodations, conference. faeilities, an
educational center and support retail. hlhile a ski ljft was not
inc'l uded in the original mastor plan proposals, it has been under
discussion for the past several years. It is felt that the

thi s
meet the requirements of al 1 the previous'ly approved development
within Cascade Village. ldhi'le there is no additional parking
proposed in conjunction with the ski 'l ift, staff feels that new
skiers using this lift to access Vail Mountain can be accommodated
through the shuttle systems as wel1 as through a'l imited amount of parking provided in the existing structure on a space-available basis. l,lh'ile the lift is open to the public, the transit facility is intended to accormodate the majority of the usersl
access to the lift. For those persons who drive to the lift, a
l imited number of parking spaces may be available in the existing structure. This panking will be accorrnodated on the third level of the structure wh'ich containfllf This third level is
designed to provide parking for the uses within the CMC Building,
the Cascade C1ub, and the yet to be developed retai'l space within
the Terrace and P'l aza wings. The majority of the parking demand
generated by these uses will be in the even'ing hours. This
contnasts wel 1 with the day skien which obviously creates a
parking demand during the daylight hours. Provided the parking facility honors the uses for which the structure was designed, it is felt that a limited number of day sk'iers can be accommodated on
the third 'l evel on an "as available" basis.
A ski'l ift is a natural element of a destjnation resort community
such as Vail and felt to be very much in character with the
Cascade Village area. One significant jssue is w'ith respect to
the area in which the lift crosses over residentia'l'lots in the
Glen Lyon Subdivision. Three lots are directly affected by this lift by either the location of lift tovrers or by the lift passing
above the property. An analysis of lots 38, 43 and 44 of the Glen
Lyon Subdivision has been comp'leted by Morter Architects and is
included for your information. This analysis assesses the impacts
on each of these lots with respect to the'l ift alignment and how it wjll affect the buildabi'lity of each of these'lots. t{hile the
degree of impact varies, there is no question that the'l ift will affect these lots. It is important to note that a chairlift
easement wil'l be required prior to beginning construction for all
areas below the alignment of the cha'ir. These easements would be
required from property owners affected by the cha'irlift route as well as the Town of Vail where the lift passes over the Gore Creek
stream tract and Town right-of-ways. Easements on the residential lots would have to be obtained from their owners. This has
created a situation where the owners most affected by the
alignment of this lift wil'l have a direct say as to the granting of these easements. For this reason, we are regarding the .impaits
on these residentia'l lots to be, for the most part, a cjvil matter
between the property owners and the developers of the lift.

DIV : OPEMTIONS DMSION
DATE : OCTOBER 19i 1982
RE I CASCADE VILI-AGE LIFT PROPOSAL
Ttre foll-owing represents the Operations Division's sumrary
conclusion regarding the preposal- by Caseade Village that an
aceess lift and egress trailCs) be built from Cascade Village to and from our existing permit area,
Detailed elements of our study are attached for your
information and eval-uation. Ttris includes various correspon-
dence from Andrew Norrls, Jack Marshall, et al .
Overview
Cescade Village, primarily in the person of Andrew Norris,
have been promoti-ng the desirability of such a facility for
several years. On the other hand, although Norris seems co represent otherwise in his memo to Koelbel , Vail Assoeiates has
never advocated or supported the concept, but has simply agreed to consider ic in a good-neighborly and comuunity-issue sort of $ay. In 1980-81 Jim Clarke and I did some overalL scoping of the project and thereby confirmed its feasibil-ity in general terus, but never put totether specifie recommendations on ic,
In his l-etter of August 24, 1981, Jack Marshall put a halt to further active consideration of the issue, until it
was resurrected by the ttissues" nemo from Lhe Town of Vail
and your subsequent initiative.
Problem Statement
As we see it, the issue boil-s dor'.rn to the foLlowing
questions:
1. Does the projeet truly represent a couununity benefit,or does it primarily benefit one corporation or group?
2. Does the project represent a substantial number of incremental skiers? What would their effect be on VaiL's overall eapacity? What is our most logical-
and cost effective response to this increment?

Harry Il, Frampton, III

3. !'lhat are the short and uedir-m term operational effects
on Vail Assoeiates, and would their effeeEs be primarlLy
positive or negative?
4. If the project proved desirable, what would Lhe
and how would they be met?
5. Are there alternative, operationally-effeetive solutions
to Cascade Villagers ski access problem?
6. What problems would the Cascade Village precedent present,
vis a-vis requests for access lifts from other parts of
Eown?
Operations Division ResPonse
We would answer the questions above as follows:
A. Consrunity Prolect or Not
As we see it, it. is not, for the following reasons:
1. The Cascade Village lift does not function as
a major out of Valley terminal , because:
- Cascade Village's bed capacity at buildouL is roughly 1600 persons.
- Except for spaces for these Persons' cttg project will offer only an additionaL 40
to 45 parking spaces for the publtc. This
equates to approximately l-00 more-Persons.
This means only 1700 persons would consti-
tute the lifc's maximr:m potential clientele.
- It has been suggested by the Towa of Vail that other skiers living in IrIesL Vail would
utilize Cascade Vil-lage as thei-r ouL of valley choice. But with limited parking and a steep,
Longish walk from the bus stoP on the frontage
road to the proposed lift, this seems unlikely
to us. tJe think they'L1 stay on rhe bus or in
their ear, and enjoy the short wal-k to the
Lionshead lifts, slopes, and restaurant from
the bus drop-offs or the Lionshead parking
structure.
- Since the Cascade Village lift would only
be an access l-ift not a skiing lifc this gives
skiers still- anoLher reason to continue t.o

coats be,

- Even if more persons coul-d be persuaded to stop aL Cascade Vill-age, limited area for lift Lines and mill around space at the
proposed base terminal woul-d create another deterrent for the tilest Vail skier.
2. The Cescade Village ltft would not facilitate
any additional downhill skiing for the tr'lest Vail coumunity.
The so called tr'Iestin Ho trail would only serve as a marginally skiabLe egress route.

B. IncremenEal Skiers and Their Effect
Although Caseade Vil"Lage's bed capacity at buildout is rated at approxirnateLy 1600 persons, the actual number of skiers whose presence Cascade Village could iupact (skiers
renting into rentable beds) is far l-ess.
Norris I s letter of October 11 gives us a basis for
'cou4ruting skier inpacLs, as follows: (The Larson/Macy

outline for you the Forest Servj.ce planning process which would be followed
should we receive an application.
First, any propo,sal f-o-r a-l.ift outside an existing permit area would have to
go through a Land Allocation process. This requires an Environnental. fnpact '
Staternent (EIS). To use Beaver Creek as an exanple, the Meadow Mountain EIS
was a land allocation docunent.
Second, should the land allocation process(EIS) allocate the land for ski dev-
elopment, a site specific Environrnental Analysis (EAJ would be required. Again,
to use Beaver Creek as an example; the Beaver Creek EAR l'ras the site specific

Gold Peak Redeve'lopment and Cascade Village Skj Lift
I.GOLD PEAK
A. My first reaction to any proposal for Gold Peak would be that anything
that would 'improve the landscaping would be great. There are virtua'l1y
no landscaped areas at the Go'ld Peak facllities presently (including
the bus turnarourid);
B, I dgn't know why they'd reduce the curve, it will reduce parking and
doesn't seem to be sharper than many other curves we have,
C. Zone district should be changed to Public Use District to reflect nore
accurately the uses currently there and also to allow employee housing . units for V.A. employees working at or out of Gold Peak. (No free
nnrket units);
D. Should close off Cha'let Road and add an exhibition tennis court;
E. It wou'ld be nice to better identify and delineate the Vail Trail
out of Gold Peak;
F. Parking area shou:ld be phys'ically separated from the street rather
than the current paving right up to the edge of the street;
G. Should look at providing adequate parking for al'l uses at Gold Peak.
II. CASCADE VILLAGE
A. My fee'ling is that a lift out of Glen Lyon rrpuld not be beneficial
to the Town of Vail. I think that by add'ing the liftwe wou'ld really
see Cascade/Glen Lyon (and possib'ly othens in close proximity--Streamsideo for instance) segregated from the rest of the ,Torn. I think that.€roviding
i good shuttle service between Cascade and LionsheadlVillage would
be probably a better idea. I think it's important to get prople over into the Village and Lionshead and on their way to the ski area seems to be the best way. If the lift is designed to minimiz€ congestion
and auto traffic, I think a shuttle bus, if properly schdduled, could
be a so'lution. Ssneone shou1d'look at the cost of ilroviding shuttle
service vs,a Iift.
B. If the lift were put in, there would have to be some provision for parking or restrictions put on I ift use, The parking at Gascade is not_based upon access to the skj area, I can envision locals using
the lift frequently if there are n0 restrictions on use of the lift or on parkin{.

Initial corrnents on
A. Go'ld Peak
It v,oqld be mtlch easier to corment if I know the concept and scope of the project. Some very genera'l cornents:
1. Eliminate constant access/egress between the parking lot and Vail Va11ey
Drive on the north side of the main bay. of tennis courts. Do sorre land-, scaping hetween the road and parking lot in this area.
2. Improve with pavers and landscaping the bus drrop off area similar to
East Lionshead.
3. Reduce the extent of the curve in the road.
4. Encourage after-ski bar facility similar to Aspen Highlands.
5. Provide for a spectator tennis court-decision must be made on how many
spectators to accormodate.
6. Provide for better tennis pro shop and new locker room facilities.
7. t'lo trade-off of swirming poo'l for condos, The swirming pool should
be a municipal -project and upzoning for condos degradates zoning and 'land use po'l icies we'ye already sworn by.
8. hlou"ld not be opposed to retail in this area.
9. I lm sure VA wishes to provide a good dea'l of of,fice space here--our
rew par*ing requirenents should be strictly followed.
'10. Height should not be more than 3.1/Z stories.
B, Cascade Village Lift
'The_basicandcrritica'l question is: ili]l this lift be open to the general public creating a fourth base area for vail? I feel that since the son was not designed for this, that it should not be. The uses jn the $DD are based . upon provjding cormercial and convention facilities, etc. for the residents an!_guests of the SDD. If we allow the general public to use this lift, there will be tremendous parking and traffic congestion problems. i think 14e have q very welll planned sDD in this area, and that comblicating it (i,e. where do we create a huge new.parking Iot and'lirt ticket facili[y) with a fourth base area is unwaffanted.
I
The next question is: If the lift js for resjdents and guests of SDD4 only,. is it a feasible proposal? The cost o:f constructing such an extensive'l ift
ray be prohibitive if it 'is restricted to "private use, "
l,lj'l'l there be a new ski trai'l coming down to SDD4 accompanying the lift? I
unuld think this is advisab'le.

This eonservative number multiplied by a
aeeson equals 108,080 skiers. For the purpose
discussion, we are assuming that all of these
new, or increnental , skiers,
Vail Mountain last year served 1,127,000
an average of 7,772 skLers per day (divided by
8,862 skiers per day.
Assuuing zero gror^rth from the 198L-82 level of

L,235,000 skiers annuall-yr or 8,82L skiers per day (divided by 1-40), at Cascade Village buildout, still well within the 1979-80 levels. Customer researeh in that year did not identify any serious customer dissatisfaction with lift lines or skier densities.
Clearly, there would be gradually increasing lift line iupaets generaced as Cascade Village beds come on line, possibly exceeding 1979-80 impacLs because of the Villagets proximity Lo LionsHead.* Hourever, improved
valLey skier distribution could mirigate these impacts.If other Vail growth pushed skier vol-umes past the
1979-80 levels, our assumption is that Vail Associates
would probabLy have to respond with some manner of
additional lift capacity. At that time, a Cascade Village lift might be one of the options eonsidered.
C. Effects on OperaEions
The major effects on Vail Operations can be sr:mnarized
as foLlords:
L. The Cascade Village l-ift and egress trail would
necessitate the addition of 1ift, ski patrol,
Lickets, and host/hostess personnel, facilities
and coverage.*
2.. It would require expanding our faeil-ities and
coverage in the snowmaking, trail grooming and
avalanche control areas.
3. It would create serious problems rahenever lift

4. It would create inmedf-ate serious lift line problems at Chalr Nine during peak hours and periods. Thl-s
woul-d al-most eertainly necessitate increasing capacity (tripling) of Chair Nine to avoid a major bottl-eneek.
5. It would create an increase in out of area/elosed area skiing in potentialLy dangerous slope and snow zones.
6. It wouLd create the need for major traiL corstruction to al-low skier fl-ow frou the Mid-VaiL area across Lions
Way to Gheetah Catwalk and the Cascade VilLage egress trail (Westin t{o ! ) .
7. Ic would necessitate a mAjor administrative task to obtain the necessary governmental approvals; Town of
Vail- Conditional Use Permit, Vail USFS Perrnit Amendment,Vail Area Borrndary Amendment, Environmental Assessment,
etc -
By contrast, absorbing Cascade Village skiers through our existLng out of vaLley facilities would create none of the
probLems/expansions required above, other than aeceptabLe lift line impacts on Chair Eight, Chair Nine and the GondoLa.
D. Cost Lmpacts and Finance Sources
Joe l"Iacy's meno addresses operating and capital cost impacts. He does not address sources
Norrisrs letter of February 2nd seems Lo represenf a
coqmitment on Cascade Vil-lage's part to "fund...the improvementstt, and our interpretation of this would be the trail , lift and any base area faciLities required.
Whether Norris would also fund any Vail Mountain facil"ities
expansion necessitated by the project (i.e. sno!'makLng, radios,
snowmobil-es, lift capacity expansion, etc.) has not been determined, but seems unlikely. Nor has Norris ever direetly suggested subsidizing tlur increased operating costs. In our opinion sources of funding are currently not an issue, unless the project is feasible and needed. Nothing that we have seen to dlte-indicates this is-E needed project,-although it apparently is ieasible.
E. Al-ternative Solutions
Looked at from the broadest operational point of view,the mosL effective solution to handling Cascade VilLages I
incremenLal skiers would be to deliver them during the
morning access period to a point shere enceas lift eapaeity exists. On Vail Mor:ntain, this is the Chair One and Sixteen
base area.
Memorandum
Harry tl. Frampton, IIl
Page six
Durf-ng the afLernoon egriess phase, the most effectlve solutlon is to ski theu direct co Caseade Vll-lage. TtrLs
could be provided by the proposed LLons Tlay - Cheetah 1ink,
and the Westin IIo egrese trail-.
Ideally, then, Cascade Village skiers d.uring peak
periods shouLd 6e bussed directly from the Weetin, past
Lionshead, to the Vail Road/Forest Road corner west of the
Lodge at Vail during the peak morning lift-l-oading hours (8:30 to 11:00) .
During egress hours (2:30 Eo 4:00) buses could perform
an "express" or direct pickup aE the Lionshead West bus stop for those Cascade Village skiers who did not care to utilize the $Iesfin Ho trail.
During non-peak periods Cascade Vil-Lage skiers couLd
be bussed to and from the west Li.onshead bus stop for normal-
access to Lionshead 1ifts, shops and restaurants.
F. Potential Precedent
The Cascade Village proposal is by no means the first
such proposed expansion. Matterhorn Village and VaiL das
Schone vanted a lift and trail system out of Matterhorn Village. Northwoods wanEed additional- lift capacity out of Golden Peak, and was provided an egress trail (Taco
Catwalk). Various lift/trail configurations have been
proposed to serve the East Vail, Fall Ridge bed concentrations.
Tlrere has also been a proposaL for a funicular linking
North Lionshead and Potato Patch, and Arrorohead has proposed
various schemes tying Arrowhead l-ifts to the Beaver Creek l-ift system. Interestingly enough, at least three of these proposals have involved Andy Norris, one way ot another.
ALI- of this creates concern in our minds whether, if we
accepted this proposal , we would seL a precedent making f-t difficult to turn away ocher similar approaches, should they materialize.
G. Susmary Conclusion and Recomnendations
To su.mnarize, we believe the Cascade Village lift proposal creates more problems than it solves. On the other hand, we believe the Westin Ho trail and the Lions !ilay - Cheeuah link are viable projects at Teasonable cost, assuming cost subsidy fronn Westin/Cascade.

We recormend the following
:.. Vail Associates forrnally defer a decision on the
Cascade Vil-lage request for an access lift, citing
our prineipal concerns and 1oglc, untLL a real need
has been demonstraced. The Town of Vail should be ' invol-ved, in advance, before this coumunicatlon is
made.
2. Vail Associates agree to pursue the trail poxtion of the project, assuming all necesaary governmental
permissions are obtained, and direct cost subsidy by
lIestin/Cascade is provided.
3. VaiL Associates obtain some manner of cost subsidy
agreenent for the added operatlonal cost entailed
by the operation of the Westin Ho trail
4. Vail- Associates recormend a bus transport alternaCive (as above) Eo Town of Vail and Westin/Caseade. One
el-ement of this alternative might be investigating
the potential for a Beaver Creek bus stop at Cascade
Vi1lage.
5. Vail Associates address the roedir:m and Long term
implieations of the Westin-generated incremental skiers through its Vail Mountain master plan revision
and five year planning process, with arrnual- factual
inpuL from Cascade Village.

Some skiers 'rau1d go to Beaver Creek - perhaps 20-30%,L.y. st(]ers l,iou td be new to the Vai'l market, some would to Vail any\'ray, and these would not add to the existinq
.l nus, the actual inrpact of the C-V. skier days on Vail-be somewhat less than the above numbers indicate. :..
-o
o Lifts: Present priorities are to replace chairs 3, 6, and 11 jn
that order, Triplizing lift 8 and the simba lift are not scheduled until 1987 as.major development projects. Triplizing chair 7 is scheduled in 1986 as a major development project 6utside the
5_ Vear_plan. Gondola replacement is on the brrject waiting iist for 1985' Reprioritiaation would be necessary Lo accommodite the C.V; lift.
0 Trails: The only new trail work in the area is lg acres jn
Lionshead on the outside of the 5 year plan 1ist. Repriorit.iza-tion of trail work would be required to'acconmodate the c.v. lift
impacts.
o Other costs vrhich we wou'l d have to bear associated with the project
. would have to be included in the reprioritized 5 year plan.
Concl usion:
A. A decision on whether to build the lift shou'ld be deferred to allow us to accurately assess the increased skier demand generated by the project.
Demand has not been firmly established and ma!.not approich critiial levels for several years. In the interim, a iurface'bus system can fulfi'l'l the lateral transit needs effectively.
Pre-Decision Actjon Steps:
1. l'Jorris to provide vail Associates with detailed occupancy data on the project on an annudl basis.
2. Noris and vA_I to work together on planning for a lift alignment and terminat location comiatibl" rlin ine-froi"i,-priuate lind-ind upper terminal constraints previously ment.ioned.

vTLLAGE, uo,..rQur*
9uilding the cv lift wjthout addressing the above issues will result 'in the over'loading-of the Lionshead pod and generate a ripple effect on Chairs 2, 7, & 9 at a minimum.
c' unfortunately. the bus system from cv to L'ionshead and vail village will have to be improved irrespective of whether the lift is buiit or not, .The lift wou'l d reduce the impact on the bus system in the
mo^rning but due to the difficulty of reaching westin.tt-o! or the top of the lift for downloading at the end of the day, we anticipate ' that many skiers will use the bus to get home. ihe proposed'lift is not the nritigant to traffic pollution that it appbars to be.
D. Pub'lic use of this lif!.-would be minimal due to the limited amount gf pltfing - perhaps-40"skiers maximum. Thus the lift would primar.ily benefitd Cascade Village guests and property owners.

There were three alternatives considered in detail:
Al-ternacive 1 - this t'no acEion" alcernative would have naintained conditions

Vail }lountain to Cascade Village'
Al-ternatlve 2 - the selecced alternative described above'
Alternative 3 - thts alternaCive would defer approval of an egress trail until
maater planning was cnmpleted for National Forest Sysfem lands now being
eonsidered for ski area expansion in the Whife River Land and Resource
Management Plan.
I have cletermined thar this irccion would not significantly affect the quality
of tlre human environmenq. Therefore, an environmental impact statement ls not
I
needed. . I
Project inplementation may take pLace after Forest Service lpproval of the
1984 Vail llountain Summer 0perating Plan and after rnitigating nreasures are in

Re: I,lesti n Hotel Ski Trai I 0ear Andy:
This is to confirm that on August 22, 1983 the Town of Vail,s
Plannlng and Environmental Commisslon approved Alternatives A
and B for the l,lestin Hotel ski trail. Further, the PEC recom-
mended to the Toryn Council that they allow the use of Town of VaiI property for the trail so that the maximum alignment could be achieved.
The following day the Tswn Counci'l , in their work session, agreed with the PEC and verbally granted the right to construct the trail on TOV land. The Council felt thai Alternatives A and
B were both feasib'le, and gave their approval to both alternatives.
Jhey lad some concerns regarding liability wh'ich are now being

Dear Dan ancl endY:
l@ want very much to work out an agreenent as outlined
in Danrs last letter' concerninE an egress trail to the
Westin. Although we do have sorm changes and rnodifications
that are not minorr I believe rte can reach an agreeftentr as
$e rtant to be cooperative and supportive of a joint effort
that will. help both parties. Accordingly, we are comnitted
to try to work out the aruange$ents during .fune to finalize
plans for an egress traiL.
gob Parker is on vacation at the present tine and wil.l
not be back until approxJ.mately the first of June. As soon
--as Bob retutrng, we wil]. prePare a dletailed response to Danr$
letter. Once we have sent you our letterr tile can then get
togetlrer within a week to ten days to finalize an arrangeftent
that will allor'v us to move fomard dur:ing July' Augtust and
September witb the construction.
AddLtionally, it is our plan to embark upon a neltt
long-range pJ.an for VaiL Mountain that wiLl include looking
at China Bowl, Mushroom BowL, the tlestin lift, etc. As you
know, one of the reasons Vail has always been a successfuL
rnprrntain has been our comprehensive approach to long-range planning. rn the past we have not included a LLft to the
titestin, but we are wilLing to evaluate the Westin ].ift on a
coryrehensive basis. Irowevetr' we want to carefully point
out that this evaluation in no way is a comnitrnent on our part to allow conEtruction of a lift. We anticipate this
pLanni.ng proeess wilt take sornewhere in the vieinity of nine
months inn ttris will give you an opportunity to obsErve the
Sestin operation through a complete ski season.

Dear Andy
Vail Associates, Inc-, has asked me to eonrnunic€te to you our findings regarding your proposal. for an aececs Lift
ar:ld egress trail to and froo your Cascade Village/l.leetin
Hotel development. Attaehed you wilt find backup material relating to our concl-usions. Yoi-r should al-so be arnrare that we have met with Town of Vail officials, and corresponded with the Fsrest Service regarding your proposal.
l.Ie have not, ho\,rever, reviewed this matter with the Vail Associates Board, and have no idea how the proposal might be judged by them.
Our conclusions may be sunrnarized as foLlows:
I) . Skier Impacts on Vail Mourttain
At least for the next three to five years, l,re
do not anticipate skier impacts from the Cv/i"ltt project will present. serious or unmitigable problems for Vail Mountain operations.
In a longer time frame however, we believe an
acceas lift, associated with certain other nehr or
expanded facilities, might be desirable from both a mountain and a cormunity operations point of view.
An egress trail to Cascade Village from Moore's Meadows may be both feasible and desirable in the near term, assuming approoriate approvals may be obtained.

T.n general terms, \te conclude both lifc and
trail- projects are physically feasible. There are
howevei, some mejor issues that would have uo be
addressed before eonfirming the project's feasibil-ity
in detai}:
- Geol-ogical- conditions
- Adequacy of proposed 1owef, terminal site
- Lift alignment vis-a-vis private Property in Cascade Village
Terrain constraints to safe lift evacuation
SuitabiLity of proposed upper. terminal site.- Snow cover on egress route.
.3)Financial Feasibilit
4)
Vail Associates would not initiate either the
1ift, the traiL, or the required facility expansions
associated with them, on ics o\dr! account as a
resulf of the Projeeted impacts of CV/WH' Therefore.
we conclude that the finaneing of any Part or al1
of the project wouLd have to be the entire responsibiliry
of CV/Ifil. Should the project be built, operational"
costs for the reguired expansion would also have
to be paid by CV/I,IH over an agreed-upon time sPan.
Our estimate of the cilital costs of the project are in the $2,250,000 ran_ge. - Annual- __bpeiating costs are projeeted to be in the $180,000
range
lhe financial feasibility of the project,
therefore, comes dor,qn to CV/lflI's interest in, and
cormitrrent to, financing the project.

As you can see from tbe attached corresPondence,
there may be sone substantial- barriers to a
successful short-term accoaplishment of the
necessary Federal approvals for a lifr facility on

ANALYSIS OF LOTS 38, 43 & 44
GLEN LYOII SUBDIVISION
VAIL, COLORADO
The follouling is an anaiysis of residential Lots 39,43, and 44 of the Glen Lyon subdivision in Vail, colorado. None of the three iots is currently de-veioped. A new ski lift is proposed to provide direct access to Vail Noun-tain for the residents.and guests of the Glen Lyon subdivision and wili pass over portions of the three lots. The impacts oi ttre new'l ift on these three lots is discussed herein. The attached plan and section drawings iliustrate the physical relationships.
All three lots have been staked to locate property corners and the proposed ski lift easements. On-site analysis of ali three-lots, and aOjoining ur"ur,was conducted. Additional resources for this study include: ierial photo survey infornat'i on; data from the eng.ineers who have designed the proposed ski lift; Gien Lyon covenants, -Zoning, and Design controli; and governing agencies, including the Town of vail-and the upier Eagle vitiey iater ani Sanitation Districts.(
GENERAL COMIIENTS REGARDING ALL THREE LOTS
PRIVACY
PROXIM]TY
The privacy of the outdoor )iving spaces of a home can certain-ly be affected by having a skj lift passing overhead. However,
we view the negative effect as being minimal , if jndeed the lif.u will only be operating during the winter months, when decks and terraces are se'l dom used.
l^le have taken as objective a look as possible at the pros and
cons of having a ski l'ift passing over a portion of one's lot.
The potential negatives include: noise; litter; loss of priva-cy; loss of vierv. Howevsr, we have found that in a ski resort
such as Vail, the psychological and phys'ical advantages of sucn close proximity to a ski lift outvreigh the negative effects.Real estate values in Vail support this opin.ion. Lots in close proximity to ski lifts consistently have higher values than si-milar lots which are not in such proximity- l.le are awane of no instance where a sk'i lift easement has caused a reduction in the value of a lot.

BUILDABILITY

hi sh of
The height of the chairs. varies as they pass over Lot 44,roughly 23 to 38 feet in height. Because they are 23 feet at.a portion of the buildabli area, the potenlial for tois Privacy within the home exists.
Relocation of the sewer easement to the west, nearer the river would provide a larger, more ievel bujldable area on the lot.
For the reasons discussed in the pRIvACy paragraph above, and the placement of the support tower within 3 feet or lhe ruiioaore area, views from the structure can be affected.
ffe.ly]ldability of Lot 44 is significanily affected by the chairlift easernent. Lot 44 is very steep in an east-w6si'0i"".-tion.-.The normar, most efficient way to'deverop iucn i-site is 'i n a linear fashion, arong the contours in a noi-tn-iorir.,-oir".-
ljon: .An existing sewer easement aiready significantiy reduces rne bur rdable area, but would allorv a north-south development,along the site's contours. The chairlift easement iuis-in" .e-maining buildable area by more than half, and forces u ror" ""-pensive east-west development, up and down the hill. The resul_tant 4'100 (approximately) square feet'of buildable site would yield a building of roughly 3,250 square feet of 6RFA. ltris is 790 square feet less thin the 4,040 square feet GnrR permitted by zoning, or a reduction of 20 percent. Assuming a sites *ur-gin-of $70.00 per square foot, ti.ris represents a ioss.in vaiue qf $00,900.00 based on saleable square feet. A 4,040 tfrir"foot GRFA structure typically requ'ires a buildable u"ea'oi ut least 5,100 square feet.
The shape of the buildable area; the amount and direction of the slope; and the reduced size of the buildable u"eu, ai'l .or-b'ine to add cost to the construction of the structure- iompared to deve'lo!'ii'!'T-more conventional site, the increased coiis ot developjng this site could include: aUditionat desr:gn-ioiis ot
11:000 - $5'000; additional excavation and foundation coiis ot $25,000 - $35,000; and the possible inclusion of a smali-trvArau-lic elevator, at a cost of $22,000 - S25,000. Tne range ot these costs totals $50,000 - $66,000.
The amount of vertical circulation dictated by this buildable area makes for a less efficient plan, and definitely limits the potential sales and rental markets for the project. -

Costs for sewer relocation could run as high as S20,000, but
would increase the buildable area of the lot by 2,400 square feet (approximately), thereby offsett'ing the 2,400 square feet lost under the ski 'l ift and air space easements. Development
would st'ill occur along the east/west axis, but the increased
area to the west is more level , more buildable and the more
desirable portion of the lot on which to build.
By seeking a garage setback variance from the Town of Vail
and/or site access through Lot 45 to minirnize steep site ac-
cess, the buildability can be enhanced
As mentioned in the "BUILDABILITY" paragraph on the previous
page, the inclusion of an elevator could mitiqate the amount of siope on the site.
Limiting the use of the ski l'ift to the winter (ski) season
minirnizes the impact on the privacy of outdoor living spaces.

Secondly, I talked to Peter about the letter of credit, and he also feeLs comfortable with letting you open the lift as long as we have an understanding that you wil-J- subnit the bid for the construction of the Town of vail bus stop and the letter of credit to cover construction costs by December 14r 19gT.Please remember to also include the condition that .ilf a building permit for the entire transit rnall is not released bv the Town of Vait to the applicant by July 1, l_999, the Town oi Vail-rray use the money to construct the bus stop per the original approved plan.tl
Attached to this letter is a memo from Ken Hughey which gives you a breakdown of the cost for the traffic controller at Cascade Vi11a9e. At this time, our understanding is that the traffic controller would begin on Friday, NovembEr zzth and work up to January 6, 19BB for a cost of gLrgso. ff at that time, it is determined that the person should continue, the additional cost would be approximately gzrz0o, I would appreciate l-t if you would pay the Town the glrgso by December 14th.
The traffic controllerrs name is Eric Dossett. He may be reached at the vail Fire Department, 476-2200. t{is supervisor is Kathy Rotb (4?E-S6?1). He will begin training on riiaay.His work hours will be Z:3o AIVI - l_o:oo AM and A:60 pU - a:-:o ptt
Wednesday through gunday.
As far as other concerns related to the rift, safe pedestri-an access to the lift frorn the Westin and transit mal1 and a barrier between the Terrace wing construction site and the l_ift area,must be in place before the lift opens. All DRB requirements need to be rnet by Decenber 14, l_9g7.

Ttre ownerrs intent ls t? complete the transit nall per the original approved pJ.an in the spring of 1989. This-will require that the colorado Highway Departnent negotiati.ons proceed and that an agreement is reached on the Frontage Road improvements,
II. CRITERTA AND FTNDINGS
upon review of section 19.60, the courmunity Deveroprnent Department reconmends approval of the conditional irse pemit based upon the following factor:
Rgr?liolghip and irnpact of the use on developn*nt objectiv".of the Town.
-* t-r" r""* definitely prefer to see the compLete transit mall constructed. at this time. rt is fert that the transit mall and a left turn lane off the Frontage Road are absolutely necessar-y to the successfur filnctioning of the lift and traffic circulation through the project. Ilowever,it wourd be difficult for the appricant tb c6nsiruct the transit nalr $rithout, at the salnl tirne, buJ.lding the Frontage Road irnprovements due to the inter-connectednesi of the two project areas. rt is unfortunate that negotiations with the colorado state ttighway Department have rui into difficulties,As a result. the To',m staff has tried to work krith the de-'eloper to arri.ve- 3t a temporary transit nral1 design that wilr functi-on as well as possibre-for this wintei rgBz-BB.
rn general , the_ proposed. pran wirr function better than what nor exists on the site. For this reason, the staff feels that it i-s necessary to state that the aeveiopn""i "uj""ii""r of the Tovn are ng! uy this propgsal , but in iro way are Lhe development objectives uet as rulty as they couti-6e through the final plan.
Consideration of Factors.
The effect of the use of li t and air, eistribution of at].0n rtation facil es, u es ools recreat on lac es and other c lac tie
The new ski lift will create a demand for improved traffic cj-rculation through Cascade ViLlage. Transi-t matl improvements are absolutely critical to ensuring-that the lift and generar traffic patterns through cascade virrig"will function well. rt wourd be short ligrrtea io not allow for this interin plan, as the end resurt wourd be that no iruprovements would be made this year.
I
As hras stated in the previous memo, the expansion of the shuttle drop-off area for Town of Vail buses and the large drop-off.area for private shuttles are improvenents that vill facilitate public transportation access to the lift.
staff feels that it is very important that the Town of Vail have a separate bus drop-off area that would be protected.from private cars and shuttles dropping skiers otr to alrow for easy public access on the Town of VaiL bus systen.
lrhe new traffic circl-e Ls of a considerabLe size (approx LLor in diameter) and shoul-d be able to handle the shuittE wan drop-off traffic. The bus drop-off area is proposed to be separated from the remainder of the traffic by steet bollards and appropriate signage. At this time, pubfi; works must stirl approve the_ final design of this drop-off area, but lt Ls felt that a sorution can be reached. rir aarcrition, tne rock nedian and reduced dimensions of the road will funnel traffic into the appropriate 1anes.

and ar areas,
Althoug! this solution is not ideal , it does improve upon what exists on the site. The enlarged turn-aroirnd (ae-siqned it, !lt: originaL proposal) witl provide an adequate area for shqttle vans to drop off skiers. The restricted Town bus drop-off area should help alreviate conflicts with private vehicles. Generally, staffrs opinion is that the proposal is an improvement over wtrat is on site. our desire is to see the final transi.t nalJ_ plan as previously approved be sonstructed next spring.

At the suggestLon of Ron Phlllips, Town Haqager of Vail, I an vriting you t,o seek your assletance in resolving a problen regardLng the expaneion of the South Frontage Road to faciLitate acc,ess to Ueethaven Driye. _The expansion is approprlate in order to provlde accelerat,lon/deceleration lanes to accomodate the lncreased traffic aecessing the new Cascade Vtllage chalrlift.
The road lnprovenent,e will be funded by the Caec,ade ViJ.lage Metropolltan lJtstrlct nhtc,h was formed 1n 1985. It is also reeponelble for funding the cogt of the lift as weLl ae its operatlng expeoses.
The South Froatage Road ie subJect to severe physical problens a ahort dtstaace to either dlrectloa of the Westhaven LlrLve Lntersectton. To the eaat, 420 linear feet a naJor fill tnpacting Gore Cresk begine. To the $est, 450 llnear feet a sinllar fill condttion occura oo private property. Conseguently ve are generally reatrlcted,to any expaosion of the south Fronuage Road that is eore than 400 feet fron the iatereection.
. After gtgd{ by the Distrlctrs eaglaeers aad the Towa of yail,
it ras concluded that the best solution to acconodate the physical restrictlons rdas to treet the design standards of 35 n.p.h. As the posted epeed at t.he l{esthaves lntersection Ls currently 45 n.p.h.1 the deelgn saa subJecL to a reduction Ln the epeed ltntt.
The Tonn council passed a reeolutton supportiog the reduction on July 1, 1986 (.opy attached). The reductioo seened approprlate in vlers of the close proxinlty of the tleslhaven Drive iallrslction to erleting 35 n.p.h. and 25 n.p.h. linits and the cootiaued increaee of traffic volune along the south Frontage Road. at this tine eaet bound traffi,c ls poeted at 35 m.p.h. 2/lO of a nile to the east of the lntersectLon and 25 n.p.h;3/10 of a nile to the east of the lnterEect,ion. For uestbound traffic, the speed is posted at 35 n.p.h. one (l) nlles to the east of the intersectioa.
Further review of the design iadicates that tt may rbe poosible to acco[modate the turning lane lengthe at a 40 n.g.h. standard.However, ue can not oeet the etandards for the tapir (shoulders,
any Bpeed above 35 n.p.h.

ANALYSIS OF LOTS 38, 43 & 44
GLEN LYON SUBDIVISION
VAIL, COLORADO
The foilowing is an anaiysis of residential Lots 38,43, and 44 of the Glen
Lyon Subdivision'in Vail, Colorado. None of the three lots is currentiy de-
veloped. A new ski lift is proposed to prov'ide direct access to Vail Mcun-
ta'i n for the residents and guests of the Glen Lyon subdivision and will pass
over portions of the three lots. The impacts of the new l'ift on these three lots'is discussed herein. The attached plan and section drawinqs iliustrate
the physical relationships.
All three lots have been staked to locate property corners and the proposed
ski lift easements. 0n-site ana]ysis of all three lots, and adjoining areas'
was conducted. Additionai resources for this study include: aeri a'l photo
survey information; data from the engineers who have designed the proposed
ski lift; Glen Lyon Covenants, Zoning, and Design Controls; and governing
agencies, inciuding the Town of Vail and the Upper Eagle Valley Water and
Sanitation Districts.
6ENERAL COMMENTS REGARDING ALL THREE LOTS
PRIVACY
PROXIMITY
The privacy of the outdoor living spaces of a home can certain-
ly be affected by having a ski Iift passing overhead. However,
we view the negative effect as being minimal' if indeed the tift
will only be operating during the winter months, when decks and
terraces are seldom used.
We have taken as objective a look as possible at the pros and
cons of having a ski lift passing over a portion of one's lot.
The potential negat'ives inc'lude; nojse; litter; loss of pri va-
cy; loss of view. However, we have found that in a ski resort
such as Vail, the psychological and physical advantages of such
close proximity to a ski lift outweigh the negative effects.
Real estate values in Vail support this opinion. Lots in close
proximity to ski lifts consistently have higher values than s'i -
milar lots whi ch are not in such proximity. We are aware of no
instance where a ski lift easement has caused a reduction in the
value of a lot.
LOT 38
ACCESS Access to the lot is not affected.
DECEMBER 3, 1985
ANALYSIS OF LOTS 38, 43 & 44
GLEN LYON SUBDIVISIOIi
YAIJL -I-
LOT 38
PRiVACY The chairs wjll be roughly 30 feet high as they pass over Lot 38,
and should provide minimal views, if any, into the home. Lot 38 is quite large and long, and this minor problem can be mitigated.
ViEWS Lot 38 enjoys a range of view of more than 1800. Views are affec-
ted only m'inima1ly. -
BUILDABILITY The effect on the bujldabjlity of Lot 38 is negligible.
MITI GATI NG
MEASURES Because of the length of the lot in the north/south direction,
the home can be located far enough to the south to effectively
minimize any negative impacts of the ski lift.
Limitin"o the use of the ski l'i ft to the w'i nter (ski) season minj-
mizes the impact on the pr.ivacy of outdoor living spaces.
LOT 43
ACCESS While the frontage onto Westhaven Circle is reduced by the chajr-
lift easement, adequate access to the site remains.
PRIVACY The chairs will be relatively high (approximately 30 feet) as
they pass over Lot 43, and should present no problems regarding
privacy withjn the home.
VIEl.lS Because the chairs will be relatively high as they pass over Lot
43, vievrs from the home will be minimally impacted' if at all.
BUILDABILITY Because of an existing uti'l ity easement and a large spruce tree,
the most logical development area of Lot 43 is the northern por-
tion. The chairlift easement crosses the southern port'ion' and
has little impact on the actual bui'ldable area of the site.
MITIGATING
MEASURES Limitinq the use of the ski |'ift to the winter (sk'i) season mini-
njzes the impact on the privacy of outdoor living spaces.
LOT 44
ACCTSS tJhile the frontage onto liesthaven Circle js reduced by the chair-
lift easement, adequate access to the site remains-

placement of the support tower within 3 feet of the buildable
area, views from the structure can be affected.
BUILDABILITY The buildability of Lot 44 is s'ignificantly affected by the chairl'ift easement. Lot 44 is very steep in an east-west direc-tion. The normal , most efficient way to develop such a site is
in a linear fashion, aiong the contours in a north-south direc-tion. An existing sewer easement aiready significantly reduces
the buildable area, but would allow a north-south development,
along the site's contours. The chairlift easement cuts the re-
maining buildable area by more than half, and forces a more ex-
pensive east-west deveiopment, up and down the hill' The resul-
tant 4,I00 (approximately) square feet of, blrildable site would
yield a building of roughly 3,250 square feet of GRFA. This is
790 square feet'less than the 4,040 square feet GRFA permitted
by zon'i ng' or a reduction of 20 percent. Assuming a sales mar-
gin of $70.00 per square foot, this represents a loss in value
of $60,800-00 based on saleable square feet. A 4,040 square
foot GRFA structure typ'icaliy requires a buildable area of at
least 5,100 square feet.
The shape of the bujldable area; the amount and direction of
the slope; and the reduced size of the buildable area, all com-
bine to add cost to the construction of the structure. Compared
to deve)offig-'-E-more conventional site, the increased costs of
developing this site could include: additional design costs of
$3,000 - $5,000; additional excavation and foundation costs of
$25,000 - $35,000; and the possible inclusion of a small hydrau-lic elevator, at a cost of $22,000 - $25,000. The range of
these costs totals $50,000 - $66,000.
The amount of vertical circulation dictated by this buildable
area makes for a less efficient pian, and definitely limits the
potential sales and rental markets for the project.
The height of the chairs varies as they pass over Lot 44, from
rough'ly 23 to 38 feet in height. Because they are 23 feet high at a portion of the buildable area, the potential for loss of
Privacy within the home exists.
For the reasons discussed in the PRIVACY paragraph above, and the
Reiocation of the sewer easement to the west' nearer the ri ver
would provide a larger, nore level bui'ldab'le area on the lot.

Costs for sewer relocat'ion could run as high as 520,000, but
would increase the buildable area of the lot by 2,400 square
feet (approximateiy), thereby offsetting the 2,400 square feet
lost under the sk'i l.ift and air space easements. Development
would still occur aiong the east/west axis, but the increased
area to the west is nrore level , more buildable and the more
desirable portion of the lot on which to build.
By seeking a garage setback variance from the Town of Vail
andlor site access through Lot 45 to minimize steep site ac-
cess, the buildability can be enhanced.
As mentioned in the "BUILDABILITY" paragraph on the previous
page, the inclusion of an elevator could mitigate the amount
of slope on the site.
Lim'iting the use of the ski lift to the winter (ski) season
minimizes the jmpact on the privacy of outdoor living spaces.

198s
The Terrace Wing is a 120 guestroo,n expansion to Westin Ilotel located in the Toi..n of Vai1, Colorado.schedule indicates cornmencement in the spring of 1986 in the fa11 of 1987.
,, The building is designed as a Type r fire resistive structure wi_th a ?'state of t.he artrt fire detection and prevent,ion systen. The fire alarm system can be activated rnanually ai pu11 box stations or autoBat j'cally by thermal and/or smoke detectors located throughout the building. As the building is fu1ly sprinklered, an alarrn sigial is also activated by any sprinkrer system lnitiarion, A11 fire a1arfr "ig"ur"will be instantaneously transmitted. and displayed on the multi-zoned anunciator panel in the adjoining Westin Hoiel fire conmand cent.er which is monitored by hotel personner 24 hours per day and is connect.ed directly to the Town of Vail Fire Department.
The portion of the Terrace Wing structure which is t.he nearesE to the chairlift site is a fire stairwell which extends to the fu11 height of the building. This stairwell is sprinklered and also has a crass r stand pipe system with fire hose connections. Due to its proximity ro the chairlift, the exterior of the stai-rwe11 wa11 will be fitted with an audible alarm to notlfy the chair lift opera tor of any fire alarm condit.ion.

Dear David:
Andy Norni s has asked me to outline the Town of Vail's history of involvement with the proposed Cascade Vjllage chairlift and the Town's position on the matter at this time with particular attent'i on to publjc access and parking matters. The points I
can speak to are as follows:
1. Cascade Village is within a specia'l development zone djstrjct requiring the
Town to approve any change of use or change of sjte plan within the
di strict.
The Town participated jn reviewing the design and approved the Westin Ho
skiway that was constructed in 1984.
Town staff contributed to the skier demand analysis for the Cascade Vi'l lage lift prepared by Sno Engineering jn 1984.
The Town was an active participant jn the design of the proposed South
Frontage Road improvements and Transjt Facility on Westhaven Drjve. l,le feel that Cascade Village developers have shown the ljft will reduce use of the Frontage Road and use of Town parking facjlities by al lowing Cascade
Village and Glen Lyon residents and guests to have jmmedjate access to the
nountai n.
It is not desirab] e from the viewpoint of the Town or developer to
establish Cascade Village as a day skier base area and jt is not designed or intended to operate as such. The zon'i ng is not suitable and the
appropri ate support facilities are not available. The base area has been
designed to accommodate only skiers accessing the ljft on foot, by private
shuttle buses and by the Town bus system.
The Cascade Village parking structure includes 27? spaces managed by the
Westin for guests and patrons of the Hotel and 149 spaces are available to
non-hotel patrons of Cascade Vi11age. Experience indicates that the major
demand for public parking at Cascade Village is in late afternoon (Cascade
Club) and evenings (CMC, Cascade Village Theatre, etc.). Cascade Village
developers have'i ndicated their intent to maximize occupancy at all tjmes
whi1e protecting parking for patrons of Cascade Village. The structure is to be operated on the same basis as the Town of Vajl parking structures
charging the same fees during winter months.
7- The Transit Faciiity will handle bus traffic more efficiently than what
presently exists and should reduce demand on the Town's parking and
transportation faci I i ties.
The Town Council approved the formation of the Cascade Vi'l lage Metropolitan 0jstrict and the required Service Plan. The approval jncluded the details of the ljft's design, road improvements, public facilities and lift
operations. The Town retains total review and approval authority over any
des'i gn modifications of the base area.
The property owners and residents of the Cascade Village Metropolitan Djstrict approved formatjon of the Distrjct on March 18 by a vote of 44 to
2.
The Town has been jnvolved in this process from the beginning and has reviewed and
modjfjed many aspects of the District Service Plan and base area design. We feel
the developers have demonstrated thjs wjll be a lift to serve a specjfic local area
and will not be attractive to or cater to day skiers.
Sincerely,
2.

Re: Cascade Parking Structure
Dear Andy:
office of communlty develoPmenl
Thanks for delivering the summary memorandum on the Cascade Village parking
structure. I appreciate the information as it allows me to better understand
how the structure wlll be allocated for the uses as well as its operation and
maintenance p1an. I have the following comments to offer:
1. The condominiumization of the various parking levels wil'l be required to
come through the Town's subdivision reguiations. Our concern here is to
assure the parking structure operates as a unified whole while still
a1lowing the division of ownership.
2. I disagree with your calculations which apply the I2-I/2% mixed use
credit by parking leve'l which results in spaces available for addit'i onal
development use. The multi-use reduction can be appl ied only to the
overall parking requirement tota'l for the project. As you'll recall, the
total parking requirement for the project with the rnulti-use credit
brought the total requirement to the number of spaces planned in the
master plan. Thus, there are no additional spaces which can be allocated
for future unp lanned uses.
0verall, it looks like a good plan that will work for the project and I look
forward to continui.ng to vJork with you on the remainder of the project.
5lncerely! -/

Re: Publjc Access Provision for Cascade Village Chair Lift
Dear Larry:
I would like to take this opportunity to briefiy explain the Community
Development Department's position regarding public parking provisions for
the proposed Cascade Vjllage ski lift. I'd like to preface my comments by
stating that the ljft is required to go through a conditional use permit
process at the Planning Commission level when jt is more specjfjcally
proposed. The approval given to allow an election for the creation of a
special impnovement djstrict as occurred last Tuesday is not the fjnal
approval by the Town of VaiI for the lift.
Cascade Village has been jn the planning process with the Town of Vail
since .1977. In .1979 a master development plan was adopted by the Town
Councjl as the guiding planning document for the entire area. The basjc
concept from the inception of the project was to cneate a self-contained
vi l lage providing high qual ity guest accommodations, conference facilities, an educatjonal center, support retail and a number of private
condominiums. Parking provisions have always been planned into a main
parking structure which has now been opened after a series of deiays.
41 though the ski |ift was not a part of the original master plan, it has
been under discussion for the last several years.
We view the chair lift as an amenity provided pnimarily for the resjdents
and guests of the Cascade Village, Glen Lyon and Matterhorn areas.
However, we feel strongly that the chairlift should have a strong public
access element in order to help alleviate congestion areas related to out of Valley ski 1ifts. }rle are confjdent that the plan as proposed wi1'l
provide that publjc access via publ ic and private mass transportation
systems, both existing and proposed, to serv'ice the l'ift.
As you are well aware, one of Vail,s strongest assets is its World wide
reputation as a community which is not dependent upon the private
automobile for transportation within our va1 Iey. Indeed, after the guest
arrives, he or she is predominantly dependent upon ejther public or private (and sometimes both) bus systems to get from his or her
accommodations to the lifts, shops, restaurants and other facjljtes. l{e feel that the Cascade Vi'l lage pnoject and chair lift are no exceptions to this rule, and we feel strongly that it would be a big mistake to
encourage the private automobile to enter into Cascade Vi1'l age for the
express purpose of riding the chair lift. The parking calculations for
the structure and Cascade Village were formulated upon the existing and
proposed uses in that project, and there is little to no opportunity on
the site to provide additional parking for skiers. Indeed, reworking of
the master development plan at this point might compromise the overall
workability of the master plan that we have developed over the past seven
years and one which we are comfortable with at the present tjme.
Finally, I can assure you that our staff has worked diiigently with Mr.
Norris on the proposed improvements relating to the cha'i r lift over the
past severa'l months, and we feel confjdent that we have a good plan before us. I would be more than happy to answer any further questions or talk
further with you about thjs matter at your leisure.

A Vail Mountain return ski trail named llestin Ho r.ra s constructed
and opened for the 1984/I985 ski season. Snow-making faci!ities were
added during the summer of 1985 which will enable the trail to operate for the entire ski season regardl,ess of natural snow conditions.
The cost to operate the l{estin Ho is funded by the Cascade Village
Association (r'CVAil). Vail Associates is responsible for maintenance,
operations, snon-making, and patrol from Sinba to the trailrs crossing
of Gore Creek. Fron that point to the vehicular bridge of Westhaven
Drive (approxinately 1500 linear feet), the trail is grooned and
naintained by CVA in accordance nith standards and procedures provided
by Vail Associates,
- Al.etrough no counting system vas in place during the Westin Hofs
inftial scason, infornal counts indicated usage of 5O to 150 skiers
dai1y. Because of inadequate snow cover at the lower end (especially
on the skiersr bridge) the trail r'ras closed March 30, 1985. With the
addition of snow-making the trail vill provide a quality experience
throughout the skj. season. As the quality inproves and knowledge of its
availability increases, significant increases j.n skier usage are
expected.
Planned Facility
The Cascade Village Lift will be a fixed grip triple chairlift
manufactured by Doppelnayr. The lift will be 4000 feet long and rise
1400 verticle feet. Its upper terminal will be at the western edge of
Simba, above Post Road. Skiers vil1 be able.to ski to Chair 9, the
Lionshead base area or Vail Village from the top of the chair. The
lift uill operate at 450 feet/ninute and have 508 down loading
capacity.

Cascade Village Public Access Plan

The lower terninal will be located on a pave d plaza adjacent to
thi Terrace Wing of the hlestin Hotel. The total area of the plaza is
approxinately 10r300 square feet. Access to the lift terninal fron
the Westin Ho vill be by stairway and ramp fron the east. The
assembly and naze area for the lift will be covered dfiring uinter
operations with Itplastic snour rnats.
Skier Demand 'Summary
The analysis of demand by skiers for the Cascade Village facility
has been divided into three 1eve1s: (l) Prinary-Pedestrj-an access
(2) Secondary-Private shuttle service and (3) Tertiary-Town of Vail
public bus service. Each sou.rce of demand includes an average winter
occupancy based upon actual experience according to the type of use
and an estinate of "participationil in skiing by the occupants. The
participation level is highest for hotel usage (802) and time share
residents (7OZ) and lowest for hone occupants (3OZ) and enployees
(2oz)
A factor has been applied to each level of deurand to adjust for
skiers using other base facilities. For Pr j.mary Demand the factor
is 152,. for Secondary it is 407, and, for Tertiary it is l5Z. The
Tertiary factor is low because it relates largely to employees who
typi_cally store their ski equipment near their place of work.
The demand analysis predicts an average of nearly l3O0 skiers
for all categories per day in L986/1987. The demand increases to
1600 per day in 1987/1988 largely because of the additional guest
rooms at the Westin Hotel. Thereafter demand increases at about 5Z
per year based upon the continued build out of the Cascade Village
pro5Lct. Using standards developed by Vail Associates' a peak day
nould increase daily demand by about 252 or a.pproxinately 300 skiers.
Public Access
-Tt-Tffiojected
that approximately 4a7" of the skiers using
Cascade Village facilities will access it by foot (902 of the
the
residents/guests of Cascade Village are within 1OO0 linear feet of the
lift and trail terni.nus). To accomodate these users, a fu11y serviced
ski and boot storage shop will be constructed within Building trCrt.
Skiers will be abLe to store equipment for a few minutea or for the
entire season. This facility will enable residents and hotel Suests to avoid long dtstance rralking with ski boots and skis. Ski service
nll1 also be provided.
Cascade Village Public Access Plan

The rernaining skier denand will access the lift by sone forn of
bu$ either private shuttle, Beaver Creek Transit, or Town of Vail-. To
aciomodate these vehicles, a najor expansion of the inrersection of
the South Frontage Road and Westhaven Drive will be constructed. Left

Dear I'tr . Norris:
We have conpiled Ehe acconpanying Cash Flow Forecasts (the ttForecaststt) for the proposed cascacle v:.:-t"g. Metropoli-tan District (the "Districf,") for the years ending December 31, 19g6 through 2000 in accordance with standards established by the Aurerican Iisticure of Certified Public Accounlants.
The Forecasts are intended to be used by VaiL Ventures, Ltd., to demonstrate to municipal bond undenrriters, governing bodiesr' and oihers that the proposed District could have the financial caoabilitv to function as an independent enEity on a reasonable basis.
As described in the sunrmary of significant. Assumptions, vail ventures,Ltd., has elected to porlray the aciornpanying Forecasts based upon'" its expectations of a range of real estate 6u:_1dout rather than as a single rate of real estate buildout wi.thin t.he boundaries of the Distrilt.Accordingly, the accompanying Forecasts present the District's forecasted cash flow based upon two ranges (Range i and Range B) of real esEate buildout within rhe Disrrictts-boundaries. To the best of vai-r venrures,Ltd., knowledge and belief, the actual rate of real estate buildout within Ehe boundaries of the District is expected to be within the ranges shownl however, there can be no assurance th;t it w111 .
. The -accompanying Forecasts are limi_ted to presenting the Districtrs rorecasted cash flows based upon inforrnatj-on that is the representation of vail- ventures, Ltd., and did not include evaluation of the support for the k"y assumptlons (i.e., the rate of real estate buililout r.rithin the Dis-lrict's boundaries) underlying the Forecasts. }Je have not examined the .rorecasts and, accordingly, do nof express an opinion or any other form of assurance on them or on Ehe key assumptions underlying the Forecasts.Furthernore' t.here vrj.1l usuallv be differences betweei. forecasted and actual resulls because evenLs and circumstances frequencly do noE occur as expect.ed, and those differences mav be material .
t
(
Vail Vencures, Ltd., has elected to not presenE forecast.ed Balance sheets, and statements of Revenue, Expenciituies, and changes in Fund Balances for the District; consequenEly the Forecasts are not presented in conforralty with Generally Accepted Accounting pri-nciples for Governmentar Entities, as promulgated by the Amerj.can rnstiture of certi-fied public
Accountants.
l'le have no responsi.bility to update this report for events and circun-stances occurring after the date of this reDort.
Very truly yours,
Stanley F. Bernstej-n, Inc.

Re: Preliminary approval of the cascade ski Lift and rransit Mall, Design Review Board Meeting, l,Iay 20, Lggz
Dear Andy:
On May 20. L98'7, the Design Review Board gave preJ_irninary approval to the westhaven transit rnal1 and chairlift base facilities. The only major design concern that the board had with the project was the design or trre ticket building. rt was suqgested that the facade have rnore relief and detail . r would l-ike the following information to be submitted before the final Design Review Board meeting:
1. A site plan showing correct building tocations, the lift.location of the maze, retaining valls, and fences.
2. A landscape plan that shows the location for pavers,plantings, planters, J.ighting and any other i-ntormation related to the landscaping of the project.
3. D-esign information on the types of J_ighting used.throughout the project should be subrnittea.
4- Design details on the water feature should be subnitted..
5. Further inforrnation on the stair connecti.on detail between the transit mall and the ticket area should. be provided.
6. Design Review Board reguested infornration on the appearance of the fencing around the lift area and below the transit rnall.
7. A survey should be subrnitted for the area. The l_OO year flood plain should be indicated on the survey along iittr
the location of the chair lift column to ensure that the column is not located in this area.
8. f would also }ike some information on what the rsnownatrl
material looks 1ike.
9. The design for the bus shelter shourd be included. with the subnittal . It is ny understanding that the bus shelter wiLl be built when the transit rnall is constructed.
When the Planning Commission reviewed the conditional use pennit reguest for the lift, several conditions rrere attached to the approval . These conditions incLuded:
l-. The State Highway Department must approve the revised access pJ-an off of the South Frontage Road.
2. The applicant urust obtain a chairlift easement from the Town where the chairlift passes over Town of VaiI right-of-ways and stream tracts.
3. The applicant must demonstrate to the Town that easernents have been obtained from private property owners affected by the lift alignment.
4. The Forest Service must grant approvaL of this 1ift through their revj"ew of the Vail Mountain Expansion pLan.
5. rt is understood that the applicant wirl construct the bus shelters needed to service the transit facility and that the Town of Vait will maintain the Town of Vail bus shelter area.
It is my understanding that you are in the process of working with the state Highway Department on the acless plan off of ihe Frontage Road. In respect to No. 2, f will ask tom Braun what work we have completed on the easement from the Town of vair for the Lift. As far as r know, the staff has not received any information indicating that the property owners have approved easements for the lift as reguired through No. 3. ff you have subrnitted this information, please let rne know. No. 4 has already been taken care of. In respect to No. 5, I bel_ieve that you are already working with SLan to decide on what type of bus sheLter is appropriate for the transit facitity.
ff_ ygg, have any guestions about this never ending list of submittal inforrnation, please feel free to cal1 ie.

Re: Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for ttre Westin I{o lift ticket building
Dear Frank,s
I am writing this letter to confirrn the staff's position on when.our department would be able to issue a temporary certificate of occupancy for the westin Ho tickel Uuilding. As I explained over tlre phone, the staff is willing to issue the building perrrit for the ticket building with the understanding that a temporary certificate of occupancy will not be issued for the structure until the transit nall and Frontage Road irnprovements are completed.
The Planning Cornroission approval for the lift reguired that the transit mall and Frontage Road. improvements be completed so that the project would be able to trandle the additional traffic generated by the new ski lift. If it becomes apparent that it will be very difficult to complete these irnprovernents by the time that the lift will be ready for operation, it will-be necessary for you to return to the planning Commission with a reguest to arnend your original approval to allow the operation of the lift before the transit mall and Frontage Road improvements are actually completed. If an amendrnent is necessary to the approval , staff would suggest that you provide the Planning Cornrnission with a tirne table of vhen you plan to have the road inprovernents completed.
o
I5 V9" have any further questions about the staff position on the tenporary certificate of occupancy, please feel free to call me.

2.uest for a con i ti onal se permi t in order to constru t a ski lift at Cascade st aven ur ant: Va Ventures , Montane Corpora
Tom Braun stated that the specific request was for a ski lift at cascade Vill.age. He pointed out that the request was to be reviewed against conditjonal use criteria. Braun said that the joint review process through the Forest Service would address wildlife concerns and other state agency concerns. Any approval was contingent upon Forest Service approval. Braun said that if the request was approved and the lift constructed this summer,temporary modular accessory service structures would be necessary until conplete accessory services--tickets, etc.--could be built northlast of the 1ift, southeast of the transit plaza. The staff recommended approval with conditions per the memo.
Andy Norris of vail ventures said the timing of the project was important. The excavation for the Terrace was complete and the foundatjon would be in by the end of June. The Plaza foundation would be completed in the falI, steel'and building in by the spring of 1987. He stated that the financing for the Plaza
was tied to the lift. He stated that if the permit for the lifl is issued soon, the transit ma11, road improvements and delivery of the lift wou] d be completed as soon as possib'le, but the full lift may not be available until next year.
Larry warren of the Forest Service identified two issues: l) Adequacy of day skier parking. He said that the town staff had determined this was not a -
problem, that parking needs wene being met. z) htildlife- Elk and deer use this area. The Division of tdildlife had.concerns about the disp'l acement of the elk. VA, Division of l,lildlife and the Forest Service were trying to detennine
ways to mit'i gate the wildlife impacts. At this time the Forest Service has not issued a decision on the Mountain expansion plan.
warren stated that two conditions must apply to any approval: 'l ) no ski-down trails except the westjn Ho trail and z) only winter use of the lift. piper
asked about the impact area for w'i ldlife and was told the area extended 250 meters from the cascade village Build'i ng. Osterfoss stated that she was not willing to judge the wildlife impacts, but felt the benefits to the community
were that the lift would enhance the project and be a pos'i t'ive addjtjon to vail. The additional point of entry was a good idea and she liked the idea of a transit mall. Viele agreed with Peggy. Donovan liked the transjt mall after it was clarified that people would not have to cross the street to reach the lift- She felt some design for the entry was needed because the parking
structure now blocked the view of the Westin. Donovan felt it should be
remembered the elk study was done during a winter of heavy snow.
Joe Macy of VaiI Associates stated that the study of elk was good in that it
was done during a heavy winter snowfall. Patten stated that more specific

A request for a conditional use permit in order to construct a ski lift at Cascade Vi11age, 1300 Westhaven Drjve.Applicant: Vail Ventures, Ltd., Montane Corporation
A. Consideration of Factors
1. Fglalionship and impact of the use on development objectives of the Town
The planning and development of Cascade Village has been an
ongoing process.for the past nine years. From the beginning, the
basic concept of the project was to create a self contained village providing guest accommodations, conference facilities, an
educational center and support retail. tlhile a skj lift was not
included in the origina1 master plan proposa'l s, it has been under
djscussion for the past several years. It is felt that the
development of a ski 'l jft will contribute to the ongoing
development of Cascade Village as a self contained activity center. The addition of this'l ift is felt to be compatible with
the overall deve'l opment objectives of not only this SDD, but with
the Town as a whole,specifically in the area of rel ieving existing
congestion in other out-of-val 1ey lift portals.
+
I. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED USE
The main feature of the uses requested with this application is the proposed chairlift. The base of the lift would be located directly east of the future Terrace llling expansion and would proceed up Vail Mountain to deposit skiers on simba Run. The lift would cross Gore creek and . continue over three residential lots in the G'len Lyon Subdivision-
Related to the ski lift is a development of a transit center designed to
accommodate both Town of Vail buses and private shuttle vans- Thjs transit way'includes the development of new bus shelters as well as a ' 'revised'entry into 'the.Gascade-Vi11age development.. Related to the bus shelters is the future development of a small expansion of the Cascade
Club that wi1 I accommodate a 1ap pool .
II. CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
Upon neview of Section 18.60, the Community Development Department
recommends approval of the conditional use permit based upon the fol Iowing factors:
(
The development of a skj lift was included as an element of Va.i I
Associates' Master Plan for Vail Mountain. The Planning
Commjssion should be aware, however, that the Forest Service has
not 'issued a final decision on this Master Plan. The development of this lift is not possible without this Forest Service
approval . Nonetheless, the staff has accepted this application for the Planning Commission's review in anticipation of a decision
by the Forest Service in the very near future. l,rle have requested
the Forest Service to be present at Monday's meeting for a status
report.
2.The effect of the use on l iqht and air distribution of
ul ati on Eran s rtat on faci l i ti es utiIities. schoo s. parks
and recreat on Tac f es, and other pu acilities needs.
With respect to the above mentioned criteria, a key aspect of this proposal is the transit facility to be developed in conjunction
with the ski lift. In addjtion to expanding the shuttle drop-off
area for Town of Vail buses, the transit facility will provide a
considerable drop-off area for private shuttles. At the present
time there are over 70 private shuttles operating wjthjn the Town of Vail. It is felt that many of these shutt'l es will begin to utilize the Cascade Village drop-off point after the deve'l opment of the ski lift. Theoretically, this will lessen the congestion
found at the Lionshead, Vail TRC, and Golden Peak drop-off points.
Related to the lift are the support facilities such as ticket
sa1es, restrooms and rental lockers. blhile the development of
these facilities is planned, the timing of their construction is
dependent on when approvals are granted for the lift. If
approvals for the lift are received soon enough, construction of
the lift wi1'l begin thjs summer. This wou'l d necessitate the use
of a temporary structure to accommodate the above mentioned
services because time would not permit the construction of
permanent faci I ities.
Effect upon traffic with particular reference to congestion.
automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffjc flow and
control , access. maneuverabi I ity and removal of snow from the
street and parking areas.
Various Town departments have been involved jn reviewing the
design of the proposed transit center and entry revisions to
Cascade Vil1age. The result has been a design that is intended to
provide a safe and convenient flow of private vehicles,
pedestrians and buses. The layout of these a'l terations affect the
Frontage Road which'is a part of the State Department of Highways
system and wjll require their approval prior to construction.
There remain, however, a few design issues yet to be resolved with
respect to the vehicular circulation between the Frontage Road and
the rest of the Cascade Village SDD. These will be discussed at
the meeting on Monday in greater detail.

Cascade Lift - 6/9/86 -2'
Another jssue to be addressed with respect to this proposa'l is parking. The 42.l space parking structure on site was designed to
meet the reguirements of al 1 the previously approved development
within Cascade Vi11age. While there is no additional parking
proposed in conjunction with the ski lift, staff feels that new
skiers using this lift to access Vail Mountain can be accommodated
through the shuttle systems as wel 1 as through a limited amount of
parking prov'ided in the existing structure on a space-available
basi s. l^lhi l e the I i ft 'i s open to the publ i c, the transi t facility is intended to accorrnodate the majori ty of the users'
access to the ljft. For those persons who drive to the lift, a
ljmited number of parking spaces may be available in the existing structure. This parking wjll be accommodated on the third level of the structure which contains 149 spaces. This thind level is
designed to provide parking for the uses within the CMC Building,
the Cascade Club, and the yet to be developed retail space within
the Terrace and Plaza wings. The majority of the parking demand
generated by these uses will be in the evening hours. This
contrasts well with the day skier which obviously creates a
parking demand during the daylight hours. Provided the parking facility honors the uses for which the structure was designed, it is felt that a limited nunber of day skiers can be accommodated on
the third Ievel on an "as avaiIable" basis.
4.Effect upon the character of the in which the sed use is
to be I ocate ncludinq the sca in relation to surroundinq uses.
A ski lift is a natural element of a destination resort community
such as Vail and felt to be very much in character with the
Cascade Village area. One significant issue is with respect to
the area in which the lift crosses over residential lots in the
Glen Lyon Subdivision. Three lots are directly affected by this lift by either the location of lift towers or by the lift passing
above the property. An analysis of lots 38, 43 and 44 of the Glen
Lyon Subdivision has been completed by Morter Architects and is
iry.'l gded fo1 y-9.9,r infgrmation. This analys-i s assesses the impacts
on-:'each of theae lbts with respect to-the iltt atignment and how it-'will'affect the buildability of each of these lots. Whi'l e the
cidgree of_impact vaiies, there is no question that the lift will
affect these lots. It is imoortant to note that a chairlift
easement will be required prior to beginning construction for a'l l
areas below the alignment of the chajr. These easements would be
required from property owners affected by the cha'i r'l ift route as
well as the Town of Va'i I where the lift Dasses over the Gore Creek
stream tract and Town right-of-ways. Easements on the residential
lots would have to be obtained from their owners. This has
created a situation where the owners most affected by the
a1 ignment of this lift will have a direct say as to the granting
of these easements. For this reason, we are regarding the impacts
on these resident'i al lots to be, for the most part, a c'ivil matter
between the property owners and the developers of the lift.

I I I. FINDINGS
The community Development Department recommends that the conditional use permit be approved based on the following findings:
That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or mater.ial ly .i njur.ious to properties or 'improvements in the vicinity.
That the proposed use would comply with each of the applicable provisions of this ordjnance.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
staff recommends approval of the request with the understandjng that the following be complied with prior to the issuance of a buitding permit for constructi on of th is I i ft:
1. The state Highway Department must approve the revised access plan off of
South Frontage Road.
?. The applicant must obtain a chairlift easement from the Town of Vail
where the chair lift passes over Town of Vai1 right-of-ways and stream tracts.
3. The applicant must demonstrate to the Town that easements have been
obtained from private property owners affected by the lift al ignment.
4. The Forest Servjce must grant approval of this fift through their review of the Vail Mountain Expansion Plan.
5. It is understood that the app1 icant will construct the bus shelters
needed to service the transit facility and that the Town of Vail wilI
maintain the Town of Vail bus shelter area.
It should also be noted that the staff is still involved in reviewing the final details of the circulation system throughout this area. Minor
al terations could take place concerning the design of this faci 1ity. These will be highlighted during the presentations on Monday.

The follovring is an analysis of residential Lots 3g,43, and 44 of the Glen Lyon Subdivision in vaii, colorado. None of the thiee iots is currently de-veloped- A new ski lift is proposed to provide direct access to vait Niun-tain for the residents.and guests of the G1 en Lyon subdivision and wil1 pass over portions of the three lots. The impacts oi the new lift on these ti.rree lots is discussed herein. The attacheO btan and section drawings il'l ustrate the physicai relationships.

GENERAL COMI'IENTS REGARDING ALL THREE LOTS
PR I VACY
PROXIMITY
The privacy of the outdoor'l iving spaces of a home can certain-ly be affected by having a ski lift passing overhead. However,
we view the negat'ive effect as being minimil, if indeed the lif.u will- only be operat'ing during the wjnter months, when decks and terraces are seldom used.
We have taken as objective a look as possible at the pros and cons of having a ski lift passing over a portion of one's lot.
The potential-negatives include: noise; litter; loss of priva_cy; loss of vierv. However, we have found that jn a ski resort such as Vail, the psychological and physical advantages of such close proximity to a ski lift outvreigh the negative iffects.Real estate values in va'il support this opinion. Lots in close proximity to ski lifts consistently have higher values than si-milar lots which are not'in such proximity.- l.le are aware of no instance where a ski lift easement has caused a reduction in the vaiue of a lot.

ANALYSiS OF LOTS 38, 43 & 44
GLEN LYON SUBDIVISIOIi
PAGE -2-
LOT 38
PRIVACY The chairs wi1l be roughly 30 feet high as they pass over Lot 38,
and should provide minimal views, if any, into the home. Lot 38 is quite'large and long, and this minor problem can be mitigated.
VIEWS Lot 38 enjoys a range of view of more than 1800. Views are affec-
ted only minimai'ly.
BUiLDABILITY The effect on the buildability of Lot 38 is negligible.
MITI GATING
I'IEASURES Because of the length of the lot in the north/south direction,
the home can be located far enough to the south to effectively
minimize any negative impacts of the ski lift.
Limiting the use of the ski lift to the vrinter (ski) season minj-
mizes the impact on the privacy of outdoor living spaces.
LOT 43
ACCESS While the frontage onto Westhaven Circle is reduced by the chair-lift easement, adequate access to the site remains.
PRIVACY The chairs will be relative'ly hjgh (approximately 30 feet) as
they pass over Lot 43, and should present no problems regarding
privacy within the home.
VIEI,,S Because the chairs will be relatively high as they pass over Lot , 43, vievls from the home wil] be minimally impacted, if at all.
EUILDABILITY Because of an existing utility easement and a large spruce tree,
the most logical development area of Lot 43 is the northern por-tion. The chairlift easement crosses the southern portion, and
has little impact on the actual buildable area of the site.

BUILDABILITY
The height of the chairs varies as they pass over Lot 44, from roughly 23 to 38 feet in height- Because they are 23 feet high at a portion of the buildable area, the potential for loss of privacy within the home exjsts.
For the reasons discussed in the PRIVACY paragraph above, and the placement of the support tower withi n 3 feet of tne buildable area, views from the structure can be affected.
The buildab'iiity of Lot 44 is significantly affected by the chairlift easement. Lot 44 'is very steep in an east-west direc-tion. The normal, most efficient way to develop such a site is in a linear fashion, along the contours.in a north-south d.i rec-tion. An existing sewer easement aiready significantly reduces the buildable area, but would allow a north-iouth development.along the site's contours. The chairlift easement cuts ihe .e-maining buildable area by more than half, and forces a more ex-pensive east-west development, up and down the hill. The resul-tant 4,100 (approximately) square feet'of buildable site would yield a building of roughly 3,250 square feet of GRFA. This is
790 square feet less than the 4,040 square feet GRFA permitted
by zoning, or a reduction of 20 percent. Assuming a sales mar-gin of $70.00 per square foot, this represents a loss in value of 560,800.00 based on saleable square feet. A 4,040 square foot GRFA structure typ'ically requires a bujldable area'of at least 5,100 square feet.
The shape of the buildable area; the amount and direction of the slope; and the reduced size sf the buildable area, all com-bine to add cost to the construction of the structure. Compared to deve16ffi!'-E-more conventional site, the increased costs'of
develop'ing this site could include: additional design costs of
53,000 - $5,000; additional excavation and foundation costs of
$25,000 - $35,000; and the possible inclusion of a small hydrau-lic elevator, at a cost of 922,000 - 525,000. The range oi
these costs totals $50,000 - $66,000.
The amount of vertical circulation dictated by this buildable
area makes for a less effjcient plan, and definitely limits the potential sales and rental markets for the project.
Relocation of the sewer easement to the west, nearer the river
would provide a larger, more levei buildable area on the lor.

Costs for sewer relocation could run as high as 520,000, but
would increase the buildable area of the lot by 2,400 square feet (approximately), thereby offsetting the 2,400 square feet lost under the ski lift and air space easements. Development
would still occur along the east/west axis, but the increased
area to the west is more level , more buildable and the more
desirable portion of the lot on which to build.
By seeking a garage setback variance from the Town of Vail
and/or site access through Lot 45 to minimize steep site ac-
cess, the buildability can be enhanced.
As mentioned in the "BUILDABILITY" paragraph on the previous
page, the inclusion of an elevator could mitigate the amount of slope on the site.
Limiting the use of the ski lift to the winter (ski) season
minimizes the impact on the privacy of outdoor iiving spaces.

Re: Prelininary approvaL of the cascade ski Lift and Transit MaIl, Design Review Board Meeting, May 20, LggT
Dear Andy:
On May 20, L987, the Design Review Board gave prelirninary approval to the Westhaven transit maI1 and chairlift base facirities. The only rnajor design concern that the board had.with the project was the design or tne ticket building. rt was suggested that the facade have more relief and detail . r wourd.like the forlowing information to be submitted before the finar Design Review Board meeting:
1. I sitg pl-an showing correct building locat,ions, the lift,location of the maze, retaining walls, and fences.
2. A landscape plan that shows the location for pavers,plantings, planters, lighting and any other infornation related to the landscaping of the project.
3. Design inforrnation on the types of lighting used throughout the project should be subrnitted.
4- Design details on the water feature should be subrnitted.
5- Further infornation on the stair connection detair between the transit mall and the ticket area should be provided.
6. Design Review Board requested information on the appearance of the fencing around the lift area and below the transit rnall.
7. A survey should be submitted for the area. The LOO year flood plain should be indicated on the survey along witn
the location of the chair lift column to ensure that the column is not located in this area,
8. I woul-d also like some inforrnation on what the rsnowmatrr naterial looks like.
9. Tbe design for the bus sherter should be included wLth the subrnittal. It is my understanding that the bus shelter will be buitt when the transit naII is constructed.
When the Planning Commission reviewed the conditional, use permit request for the lift, several conditions were attached to the approval.. These conditions included:
1. The State Highway Department must approve the revised access plan off of the South Frontage Road.
2. The applicant must obtain a chairlift easement from the Town where the chairLift passes over Town of Vail_ right-of-ways and stream tracts.
3- The applicant must demonstrate to the Town that easements trave been obtained from private property owners affected by the lift alignment.
4. The Forest Service must grant approval of this lift through their review of the VaiI Mountain Expansion plan.
5. rt is understood that the applicant wilL construct the bus sheLters needed to service the transit facility and that the Town of Vail will maintain ttre Town of Vail bus shelter area.
f!.lr.my understanding that you are in ttre process of working with the state Highway DeparLment on the acless pran off of ihe Frontage Road. In respect to No. 2, I wiJ.I ask iom Braun what work we have cornpleted on the easenent fron the Town of vail for the 1ift. As far as r know, the staff has not recej.ved any infornation indicating that the property owners have approved. -
easements for the rift as required through No. 3. rf you trave submitted this inforrnation, please let rne know. No. 4 has already been taken care of. In respect to No. 5, I believe that you are already working with SLan to decide on what type of bus shelter is appropriate for the transit facility.
