As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at x.0:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, n Rodney E Slier, aybr ATTEST Colleen M. Kline, Tov~ Clerk C~a~ C~ Ron Todd - refer matter back to Town Attorney for preparation of an ordinance incorporating the following items as a precautionary measure. 1. Building may proceed but there would be a disclaimer acknowledging the concern that the Town has at this time for the area. The people • applying for building permits would be aware of this study that is ongoing and a hold harmless clause with an acceptance of responsibilit far damages occurring to their property or any of the other neighborin properties in the area that result by virtue of them beginning their construction. 2. Vde would enter into a program of very strict enforcement of our existing ordinances in a fair manner, including taking legal steps to ensure that the restrictive covenants that are attached to the properties specifically to the Highland Meadows filings one and two are enforced and abided by and 1 would point out specifically in those covenants the requirements as far as cut and fill design, building envelopes be strictly adhered to and that there be site specific soils tests on each site and it says in there that those soils tests must make a determination of depth of bed rock, etc. It has a list of restrictions which will require an on-site sails test for each of those lots and along that same line, that drilling of test soils on that property should occur in the building envelope under the footprint of the building so that the Town is presented with a very accurate representation of the sails conditions on each of those properties that are preceding the construction. • We should enter into very strict enforcement of our Town of Vail requirements which require that the foundations in those areas must be designed or at least endorsed through the stamping and endorsement signature by a licensed structural engineer. 3. That we enter into a vigorous program of ditch and culvert maintenance because it seems to me like from my observations today that a tremendous bulk of the problems were caused by drainage and specifically by the over stress that we have on drainage that was created by the breaking of the water line and so once the determination is made as to what the level of acceptance is of the roads and ditches and so on, whether we're responsible or whether the developer is responsible, those ditches and drainage culverts should be, we should have a very heavy duty maintenance program to get all of that drainage system in good shape. ~. Lastly, while Y do not feel that the Town of Vail should ultimately bear any of the financial costs for the repair of the excavation of the Bitetto property, Z do feel that it presents a very clear and present danger and 1 think that we have to take the lead at this time at least in researching what has to be done to stabilize that hillside because we certainly can't afford to wait another year or two while blame is established in the courts because of the rate at which that hillside is eroding. So then I propose that the Town Attorney undertake an ordinance that would include those specific items. The other things that were required as part of the restrictive covenants for Highland Meadows i and 2 in that engineering investigation would be definition of ground water conditions, definition of bed rock, slope stability conditions, and design parameters for foundations and subsurface drainage requirements. And that typically a a is part of the soils engineex report and ~ think.~t would be advantageous to those of you that are interested in building this year to have that testing all done simultaneously because there are cost savings to be realized by having that done in one shot. These items and the strict adherence of the ordinances and extra level of care, if you will, should apply to any new construction in Vail Village West Filings 1 and 2 and Highland Meadows 1 and 2. n L~ r' MINUTES VAIL TOWN COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY, JUNL 15, 1982 7:30 P.M.
