He noted that the Sandstone and Bighorn buses have both been highly successful; the Sandstone ~~ bus carried 2,687 people during December, and the Bighorn bus carried 4,108. He mentioned that many petitions, letters and comments have been received requesting that the service be extended until the end of the season, and he announced that the Council has agreed to the extension. Mr. Minger noted that the heavy use the municipal bus system has received indicates that free mass transit does work, but that the Town does need more equipment in the form of additional buses and perhaps a bus barn. Mr. Minger then mentioned that December was also a busy month for the parking structure; that the Town is beginning to recover the cost of the structure. Question was raised regarding why campers have been allowed to park on top of the structure. Mr, Minger explained that in the past campers have been required to park in the LionsHead west lot, but that this winter because of lack of use of the parking structure, they have been allowed to park there at a fee of $5.00 per night. Mr. Carl Oppenheim expressed hope that people not be allowed to live in the campers while parked in the structure. Mayor Dobson answered that there is no effective way to monitor that. Dick Elias asked whether or not electricity is being furnished to overnight campers in the structure. Mayor Dobson replied that it is nat. Mr. Elias then asked whether or not the Town has an ordinance to prohibit the parking of campers. The Town Attorney explained that there is an ordinance to prohibit the parking of campers on private property and that the ordinance also prohibits sleeping in campers except in the LionsHead west lot. The discussion then moved to the subject of towing. Mr. Minger explained that cars will be towed from public property first, then on request from private property as time allows. Council- man Staufer asked whether it is possible to deputize private towing concerns to help. Mr. Minger mentioned that it is possible but that local stations are not always willing to cooperate when needed, often tow the wrong car, or damage the car they taw. Mr. Elias then asked who is authorized to request that a car be towed from private property. Mr. Smith, Town Attorney, stated that anyone in charge of the property may authorize the towing {lessee, owner, manager, etc.) Questions were raised regarding dirt in the Transportation Centre stairwells and the exhaust level of the structure. Mr. Minger indicated that the stairwells will eventually be covered and will be cleaned up and that the exhaust fan system in the structure is now working, but that more fans may be necessary. ~ Question was asked regarding the progress on cable television service to the Bighorn area. dim Lamont, Director of Community Planning, stated that a local cable TV manager has just been hired by CTI in order to expedite the matter. He stated that Holy Cross Electric will soon hook up a CATV super trunk to the 11th, lath and 13th Filings.

Bert Naumann protested the smell emanating from the sewer plant and questioned the water quality after treatment.

He commented that if the resolution is approved, a telegram would be sent to Nancy Dick and the Committee chairman for the meeting of the House Local Government Committee to be held February 5, 1975 to indicate Vail`s support of the measure. Mr. Bob Parker asked whether the county was in favor of the bill. The town manager stated that last year when the bill was introduced in the Senate as Senate Bill ].156, the County Commissione~°s voted against it. The Mayor then tabled the matter until later in the. meeting so that citizens could study the contents of the resolution before the Council voted on it. With regard to the architect selection process for the Antholz cultural/recreational complex, the Mayor explained that a team consisting of our landscape architects, an acoustics consultant, solar energy consultant, staff and architectural firm would work together on the facility to be constructed onlhe property.

The Tawn has order two new twin coach buses and will have a diesel bus to test during this spring. He noted further that there will eventually be a need to house twenty buses and that Vail Associates and the Town of Vail .are currently negotiating on possible sites for a bus barn.. The Municipal Building Authority, a special district created for the purpose of construction of buildings within the municipality, will be used as the financial vehicle to enable the construction to take place. The M.B.A, is a non-profit corporation. Mr. Minger stated that the construction is expected to begin by May, 1975. With regard to a business license tax, the Mayor commented that the Town of Vail has donated monies to the Vail Resort Association due to a lack of funds in that organization . for promotional purposes. An occupation tax placed on the various businesses in town is one method of setting aside monies for promotional use. Thy Mayor then asked business- men to take part in determining a method of accruing funds to assist the VRA. He stated that at this time the Town Council proposes that the matter be studied regarding the implementation of an occupational tax, but that the Council is not espousing this as the only solution to the problem. Mr. Dick Elias, lodge owner, questioned whether the proposed occupation tax referred to a tax on employees. The Mayor stated that the text of the proposed ordinance was misunder- stood and that it would not be imposed on employees. With regard to the fire damage of the Nu Gnu Nightclub, the town manager is required by the zoning ordinance to review the damage and report his findings to the Town Council. Mountain General Contractors was asked to estimate the extent of damage and since the amount is less than 50% of the building, the zoning ordinance allows that the restoration can be completed and the building restored to its original non-conforming use. Councilman Steinberg moved that the owner be allowed to restore the Nu Gnu to its original state . and that it be brought up to the Uniform Building Code standards in accordance with the town manager's memorandum to the Town Council; Councilwoman Klug seconded the motion; the vote was unanimous in favor; and the motion carried. With regard to a request from Pierce, Briner and Scott for a Conditional Use Permit for office space in Poor Richards, Gordan Pierce was present to explain that the firm has out- grown their present space and would like to occupy the 700 square feet in the Poor Richards building. The proposed office would occupy 13 - 14% of the building which would in turn increase the parking requirement by .47. The zoning administrator stated that the building is in a public accomo- dations zone. Jim Lamont stated that the Planning Commission voted 3:2 opposing the CU Permit with one ab~ntion, and the feeling of the commission is that it deplores a change of use in a PA zone. Dudley Abbott, Planning Commission member, commented that the change would not cause a precedent and that the maintenance of the building is poor; the granting of such a request would eliminate an eyesore. The staff favored the change with reservations, according to Jim Lamont. Minutes February 4, 1975 Page 3 Tt is the feeling of the staff that the Public Accommodation zone should be restudied and a decision made as to the effect of the transportation center on the PA zoning. The Mayor commented that the original intent of the building to be used as a dormitory is no longer valid aesthetically or economically. He stated that the Town Council has historically gone with the Planning Commission's recommendations, but feels that the zoning question must be restudied. He then asked for a joint meeting with the Planning Commission to study this matter. Councilwoman Klug commented that the present zoning in that area is no longer valid, but that a CU Permit should not be granted with the present zoning still in effect. The con- sensus of the councilmembers was to re-zone. Councilwoman Klug then moved to deny the request for a CU Permit on the property for the present and, additionally, to re-zone the property; Councilman Slevin seconded the motion; the vote was unanimous in favor; and the motion carried. The Mayor stated that a 'statement of policy' would be forthcoming in two to three weeks. With regard to the Voucher Lists for November, 1974, Councilman Steinberg moved to approve them; Councilman Slevin seconded the motion; the vote was unanimous in favor; and the motion carried. Returning to Resolution No. 2, urging passage of House Bill 1092, Bob Parker commented that he would hate to see the Council's stand on the matter develop a conflict between the Town of Vail and the County of Eagle. The town manager commented that the county commissioners are not specifically opposed individually to the plan, but that they did vote against House Bill 1156. Dudley Abbott remarked that the Town should 'touch base' with the county before going along with the resolution. The consensus of the Council was that this method of land use planning is the best proposal for, this area. Councilwoman Klug then moved to approve the resolution; Councilman Langmaid seconded the motion; the vote was unanimous in favor; and the motion carried. REPORTS FROM THE TOWN MANAGER . The town manager reported that the Town has hired a trans- portation planner under the auspices of a federal. grant to the Town for one year.. Allen Gerstenberger, the planner., has submitted proposals to UMTA for a mass transit grant, requesting monies for a transportation system between Radcliff, Minturn and Vail.. He has also applied for a grant of $250,000 for construction of an overpass connecting Sandstone 70 with Lionshead. Concerning progress of the cable television company, Jim Lamont noted that the 11th and 13th filings will be serviced in the near future. REPORTS FROM THE TOWN ATTORNEY With regard to Val d'Gore, Tnc. vs. Town of Vail lawsuit, the town attorney outlined the series of proceedings con- cerning the entire annexation process and commented on tho eight causes of action listed in the suit. The court decision is presently in the preliminary stages. Tom Grimshaw, annexation attorney in Denver, will be consulted • with regard to the case.

MTNUTES REGULAR MEETING TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL FEBRUARY 1$, 1975 The regular meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Vail convened at 7:~0 P.M. on Tuesday, February 18, 1975, in the Council Chambers of the Vail Municipal Building. Mayor John Dobson and the following councilmembers were present: Josef Staufer John Donovan Kathleen Klug Thomas Steinberg Jim Slevin Joseph Langmaid . With regard to the Public Hearing called concerning the proposed accupational tax, Mayor Dobson explained the request by the Vail Resort Association for financial support needed for summer promotion. The Mayor stated that the problem is whether the citizens feel an effort should be made for summer promotion and if so what is the best and most acceptable way to finance such promotional activities. Mike Dawson, a VRA' representative, commented that there was a public hearing re- garding the need for more promotion and the general consensus was that there is a need for this kind of promotion, Warren K1ug, also of the VRA, remarked that due to the economy in general in this country there will be a difficult time this summer for resort areas. He stated that he would support any addition to a promotion fund since it would help all business- men. Bob Parker, of Vail Associates, Inc., noted that VA has aAalyzed the general. economic climate for the summer. Competition will be tougher and dollars harder to come by. Small business owners were present to oppose the amount discussed for the occupational tax, approximately $100. The Town Council policy has been that the tax dollar should go first to traditional services provided by the town. It is not the business of the Tawn to consider how the VRA spends the money, but rather the business of the members of the VRA. Charles Crowley, liquor store owner, commented that .t he suggested occupational tax is not equitable to small businesses if the same cost is charged each businessman. A percentage of the sales tax could be earmarked for promotion. Mr. Crowley proposed a ve.ndor's fee wherein a percentage of the sales tax goes back to the businessman. Another member of the audience commented that if they have to pay both an occupation tax and VRA membership then they will simply quit the VRA. CouncilW members Slevin, Langmaid and Steinberg were of the opinion that alternatives to the General Fund would be necessary as a source of promotional revenue funds. Councilman Staufer commented that the tax should be equitable and that everyone should share the costs, but that he is opposed to the business license option completely. One citizen commented businessmen and all citizens should be willing to accept a higher mill levy spread over the whole town. The general consensus was that {1) there should be summer promotion; (2} the cost of such promotion should be equitable; (3} the VRA should not be undermined; and {4} those who are getting a 'free ride' should be eliminated. Dick Elias, lodge owner, suggested tabling the matter and further considering the input from the meeting, plus studying comparative cities in Colorado. Minutes February 18, 1975 Page 2 • Mr. Parker commented that the promotional monies should come from bath the Town of Vail and the business community. With regard to imposing zoning on the newly annexed portion of Bighorn, Jim Lamont, Director of Community Development, explained the zoning procedure which requires that a public hearing take place so that the Town Council can act upon the Planning Commission's zoning recommendations. The zoning administrator outlined the present and proposed zoning far the second portion of the Bighorn area; annexed in December, 1974. The following parcels were under consideration for zoning: 1, Blocks 1, 2, 3 Bighorn Fifth Addition -. Unanimous recom-- mendation of the Planning Commission for Single Family Residen- tial. There was no opposition to SFR zoning. Councilman Donovan moved to approve the PC recommendation; Councilman Steinberg seconded the motion; the vote was unanimous in favor; and the motion carried. 2. Heather of Vail (Lots 6, 7 and 8 Heather of Vail Subdivision) Recommendation of the Planning Commission for Resident~.al Cluster. Mr. Dave Elmore, developer of the property, asked that what is presently built on the land be considered in conformity with the zoning so that no building will be non-conforming. He comrraented that it would be unfair of the Town to impose zoning that would make his buildings non-conforming, thus reducing value, and in the case of fire not allowing the owner to rebuild the existing building. Due to the necessity of imposing the Zoning at this meeting on first reading, the town manager suggested that the ordinance be passed as is with a legal provision regarding non- conforming use to be introduced on second reading. The zoning must be done to meet the legal requirement at this public hearing. The Mayor stated for the record that there could be no guarantee of a change of zoning but a further consideration of the matter. Councilman Donovan moved to approve the PC recommendation; Councilman Steinberg seconded the motion; the vote was unanimous in favor; and the motion carried. 3. Cedar Point Townhouses. Lots 1, 2, 3, 4 {Heather of Vail, Subdivision) - Planning Commission - for Residential Cluster • with a variance to allow four units. The developer has a building permit from the State of Colorado for four units, which permit has expired, and the building is pre-cut for 4 units. The developer has requested LDMF zoning. However, the LDMF zoning would allow two additional units to be built at some future date, with additional height. Councilman Steinberg moved to approve the Planning Commission's recommendation with consideration of a variance for one additional unit; Councilman Donovan seconded the motion; the vote was unanimous in favor; and the motion carried. 4. Vail Meadows, Second Filing - Recommendation of the Planning Commission for Agricultural zoning. Kent Rase, Director of Public Works, stated that he has reviewed the property on the county level to determine. environmental and land quality. He reported that there are 40% grades and parking problems, and that he cannot evaluate the impact on the environment for the construction of the road. As an alternative to the A classification, the owner would have the option of presenting an entire development plan for the parcel. Mr. Elmore, developer of the property, commented that according to the county plats he was led to believe that there was no problem with duplexes for that property. The soils report for the property was done • Minutes February 18, 1975 Page 3 by Ken Richards, a Vail, engineering firm. Mr. Elmore was of the opinion that the Planning Commission should not legislate . aesthetic values, and that the soils expert says that a home can be built on the land, The town manager commented that the reasons the land should not be built on include the environ- mental impacts of building a bridge, a road and parking lot. Kent Rose commented that the soils report did not address itself to the flood plain or the degree of slope. Jim Lamont remarked that there is still not enough environmental impact information to make the decision. The Mayor indicated the possibility of a special district type of zoning, as previously suggested. Mr. Elmore then stated that he would not have voted in favor of annexation if he had thought the property was going to be downzoned. Councilman Donovan moved to approve the Agricultural zoning for the land; Councilman Slevin seconded the motion; the vote was unanimous in favor; and the motion carried, 5. Vail Meadows, Inc. - Recommendation of the Planning Com- mission for Agricultural zoning, due to poor access and steep grade.

With regard to Vail Meadows Second Filing, the town manager stated that after discussion with Mr. Elmore, owner of the property, the staff recommended a change from Agricultural to Single Family Residential zoning. He further commented that an environmental impact report needs to be filed regarding the road to service the lots due to the possibility of the property being in a flood plain. The burden of proof is thus placed on the owner to show that a minimum environmental impact would occur with development. With regard to Vail Meadows, Inc., the zoning would remain Agricultural until such time as Mr. Elmore provides environmental impact reports to support his request for more density. The town manager then noted that the second reading of the ordinance should proceed with the following changes: Vail Meadows Second Filing zoned SFR instead of A, and the requirement of Environmental Impact Reports on the property. Mr. Ken Richards thanked the Council far their consideration in allowing some building on the Vail Meadows property.

He stated that he had requested that the town study the matter of obtaining remaining easements from VA nine months ago, and that nothing had been done in that regard. Mr. Amato outlined the history of the easement problem: Vail Associates initially filed plats for the area; the roads were not dedicated; VA then sold lots and granted easements to purchasers of lots; the Town of Vail formed and streets wore dedicated by VA to the Town; but that dedication did not include property and easements of private properties initially dedicated by VA to purchasers. Mr. Amato's position is that the Town is continuing to interfere with his easement rights, particularly when disallowing persons entry through Checkpoint Charley (gate on Bridge Street) to his liquor store. The town manager stated that the Town did have an attorney look into the matter and that an opinion was received on September 13, 1974, but that it was not a complete opinion . concerning pedestrianization of the village core area. Mr. Minger commented that he feels Mr. Amato is correctly stating his understanding of his rights and he accepts the responsibility to report the Town's findings within 90 - 120 days.

Councilwoman Klug commented that noise abate- ment problems can be handled at the Liquor License: Hearing to follow this meeting. The town attorney agreed that the noise problem could be addressed at that-time under the provisions of the "desires of the neighborhood". The zoning administrator commented that the Town Council can place any provisions they deem necessary on a variance according to the zoning ordinance. Mr. Peterson disagreed stating that such requirements should only be made that relate to parking or traffic, and that noise control was "totally unrelated" to the proposed variance. The Mayor agreed with the attorney, commenting that the liquor license aspect should be dealt with separately from the variance. Councilman Langmaid then withdrew his second to the motion; the Mayor seconded the motion to grant the variance.

We would appreciate the opportunity to meet and discuss these matters with you. _ The Fire Study accurately states the situation in Lion',s Ridge. The water system is in very good condition except for its dependence upon electricity. The I.S.Q. analysis reflects this also -- allocating a class 6 rating upon . ,inclusion to the Vail Fire Protection District and the installation of an interconnection. Lion's Ridge has budgeted monies sufficient to install the X23,000 inter- connection, and is ready to proceed pending approval from the Vail. Water and Sanitation District. Also-the District is ready and willing to do everything within its power to perpetuate annexation to the Town of Vail and Vail Recreation District. As we have indicated previously, we await your direction. We believe that inclusion, and the accompanying revenue would be beneficial to the Vail Fire Protection District. We believe the interconnection of water systems would also be of benefit to the Vail Water and Sanitation District as a backup supply in event of emergency. Now that the Reports and Analyses are in, we are anxious to proceed. We hope to meet with you soon. Sincerely, LIQN'S GE W DISTRICT r-- ' ` ~ , S J~ awes P.

Mayor John Dobson and the following Council members were present: Josef Staufer . John Donovan •~~ Kathy Klug Joseph Langmaid Jim Slevin The following members of the Board of Directors of the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District were present: Ted Kindel Dick Peterson Chairman Joseph Langmaid and the following members of the Bo~.rd of~.~Directors of the Vail Fire Protection District were present: Ted Kindel Larry Burdick Gerry Hoyt Chairman Larry Burdick and the following members of the Board of Directors of'the Vail Water and Sanitation District were present: Dick Elias Josef Staufer Gerry Hoyt Ted Kindel Also present were: Bob Manzanares, Administrative Assistant Kent Rose, Town Engineer Mr. Manzanares explained the letter submitted by the Lions Ridge area to the Council and the special districts, expressing a desire to be considered for annexation to the Town and inclus~.on within each of the districts.. He also explained that the ISO has indicated in writing that the Lions Ridge area is qualified to receive a 6 insurance rating if it joins the Vail Fire Protection District. Mr. Manzanares also stated that the purpose of the special joint meeting is to establish a palicy for all future annexations and inclusions. Mayor Dobson stated that past policy has been to conduct simul- . taneous inclusions were possible but that such has not always been possible regarding the Water & Sanitation District because of technical problems. Councilman Langmaid stated that his under- standing of the inclusion policy has been that areas must first annex to the Town of Vail before being considered for inclusion within the special districts in order to avoid having areas join~the districts in order to receive those services without • . ,annexing to the Town in order to receive those controls. Mr, Rose outlined an the Town map those areas which the Town staff feels could be considered far annexation at this time, including: the Mc,Allaster property, Lions Ridge, the~Valley, 3 50-acre parcels on the South side of Interstate 70, and the area West of Lions Ridge down to the Safeway store. He felt that annexing gust the Lions Ridge area would leave a small •contiguous boundary, making the annexation of the Western por- tion of the Clore Valley more time consuming -- requiring more elections. Mr. Kindel stated that he had heard of a developer • in the Vail dos Schone area ~vho has promised his purchasers that he is holding a strip of land large enough to prevent the .Town from annexing that area. It was the feeling of both the Council and Mr. Rose that it is not possible to block an annex- . ation in such a manner. Bill ~Yilto, an East Vail resident, expressed the wish that the Town work on consolidating the fire, water and recreation ser- vices in the East Vail area before moving West to annex additional territory. " ' Mr. Kindel voiced the Recreation District's hopes to include the entire Gore Valley within its boundaries in order to take advan- tags of an, additional tax base. Mayor Dobson asked what incen- five there was for an area to join the Rec. District. Mr. Kindel ' explained the District's tentative plan to increase the rate differential for recreation passes (golf and tennis). The Mayor was concerned that a valley-wide recreation district would be spread too thin. Mr. Kindel stated that there was no room. in the valley for a second golf course, but that more tennis courts could be built and that possibly the Rec. District could control stream quality in the valley .f or better fishing. Councilwoman Klug was concerned that a greater rate differential would prohibit the employees from buying passes. Mr. Peterson explained that there would be no distinction between a property owner and a resident of an area as far as ability to buy a recreation pass ' was concerned; the rate would be the same as long as a person lived within the District boundaries. Councilman Donovan added . that there is also an alternate facility available now with the development of Grouse Mountain. Mr. Kindel added that the Recre- ation District should be treated somewhat independently of the , Town and the other special districts. He felt that there would be no loss of leverage by the Town if the Rec. District included the whole valley, as there might be if one of the other districts included the whole valley. Mr.,Elias stated that limiting the special districts' boundaries to those of the Town would limit the ability of the districts to offer their services, and he favored keeping the districts separ- ate from the Town" Mr. Kindel further mentioned the possibility of extending the Recreation District as far as Minturn, thereby lowering the pass prices for the whole area, but he agreed that • the District would have to research whether or not Minturn has ' a large enough tax base. Mayor Dobson stated-that it may be a desirable thing for the Recreation District to include the whole valley, but mentioned that the other special districts are needed as leverage to induce areas to annex to the Town. Mr. Ka.ndel noted that inclusions to the Fire District might be limited because of the need to keep the insurance rating at 6 and that areas which might imperil that rating would not be desirable. Mr. Donovan added that the fire insurance rating is dependent upon the water storage and facilities of an area. Mr. Burdick . stated that it has been the policy of the Water and Sanitation Distract to require areas requesting inclusion within the District to annex to the Town and to the other districts as well. ~:; Mr. Langmaid explained the Bighorn Water District's desire to consolidate with the Vail Water & Sanitation District and agreed • with Mr. Wilto that the Town should concentrate on bringing the • * Bighorn area of the Town into the special distracts. The Mayor. returned to the question of the Recreation District . ` He asked how much ,additional revenue the District could expect if it included the entire valley. Mr. Bernstein stated that the District is now receiving around $90,000 in tax revenue and that if it included the whole valley, it would receive an addi- tional $50,000 approximately. Mayor Dobson then asked if the District expected its resident pass rates to change very much. Mr. Kindel, stated that the Board had not yet discussed future • pass rates. ' Mr. Manzanares returned to the question of annexing the Lions Ridge area. He stated that the area meets all the requirements set forth for inclusion into all the special districts and for annexation to the Town and that the Town needs to respond to the area's request. Mayor Dobson stated that of all the require- ments are met, then the Town must encourage Lions Ridge to petition for annexation and for inclusion into the special dis- tricts. hir. Langmaid stated that the Fire District would accept •,i the .Lions Ridge area as long as it annexed to the Town simultan- eously. Mr. Hoyt stressed the need to effect the whale annexa- tion-inclusion package simultaneously. He stated that people petitioning for annexation to the Tawn expect to receive all • municapal~services, such as fire and water. Mr. Burdick, speak- - ing for the Water & Sanitation District, stated that Lions Ridge's only technical problem regarding inclusion within has district is the lack of an interconnection between their district and the Town's. He also stated that the interconnection could be taken care of and the area included within the Vail Water & Sara. Dist. soon. Mr. Langmaid suggested having a Town annexation election for Lions Ridge first, then the special district elections. Mayor Dobson felt that would be too unwieldy and suggested that perhaps the special district concept was outdated as far as Vail is con- cerned. He felt that the special district functions should be proper municipal functions and suggested discussing the possible dissolution of the districts. Mr. Kindel agreed and suggested setting up another joint meeting in June to discuss the idea. •+ At that point Mayor Dobson polled the regarding the annexation of the Lions The feeling was unanimously in favor pursue the annexation and subsequent was instructed to notify Lions Ridge Boards' approval.

Mayor John Dobson and the following Council members were present: Josef Staufer John Donovan . Kathy Klug Joseph Langmaid Jim Slevin The following members of the Board of Directors of the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District were present: Ted Kindel Dick Peterson Chairman Joseph Langmaid and the following members of the Board of~.Directors of the Vail Fire Protection District were present: Ted Kindel Larry Burdick Gerry Hoyt Chairman Larry Burdick and the following members of the Board of Directors of the Vail Water and Sanitation District were present: Dick Elias • Josef, Staufer Gerry Hoyt Ted Kindel Also present were: Bob Manzanares, Administrative Assistant Kent Rose, Town Engineer Mr. Manzanares explained the letter submitted by the Lions Ridge area to the Council and the special districts, expressing a desire to be considered for annexation to the Town and inclusion within each of the districts. He also explained that the ISO has indicated in writing that the Laans Ridge area is qualified to receive a 6 insurance rating if it joins the Vail Fire Protection District. Mr. Manzanares also stated that the purpose of the special joint meeting is to establish a policy for all future annexations and inclusions. Mayor Dobson stated that past policy has been to conduct simul-- taneous inclusions were possible but that such has not always been possible regarding the Water & Sanitation District because of technical problems. Councilman Langmaid stated that his under-~ standing of the inclusion policy has been that areas must first annex to the Town of Vail before being considered for inclusion within the special districts in order to avoid having areas join the districts in order to receive those services without annexing to the Town in order to receive those controls. Mr. Rose outlined on the Town map those areas which the Town staff feels could be considered for annexation at this time, including: the McAllister property, Lions Ridge, the Valley, 3 5Q-acre parcels on the South side of Interstate 70, and the area West of Lions Ridge down to the Safeway store. He felt that annexing just the Lions Ridge area would leave a small contiguous boundary, making the annexation of the Western por- tion of the Gore Valley more time consuming - requiring more elections. Mr. Kindel stated that he had heard of a developer in the Vail dos Schone area who has promised his purchasers that he is holding a strip of land large enough to prevent the Town from annexing that area. It was the feeling of both the Council and Mr. Rose that it is not possible to black an annex- ation in such a manner. Bill Wilto, an East Vail resident, expressed the wish that the Town work on consolidating the fire, water and recreation ser- vices in the East Vail area before moving West to annex additional territory. • Mr. Kindel voiced the Recreation District's hopes to include the entire Gore Valley within its boundaries in order to take advan- tage of an additional tax base. Mayor Dobson asked what incen- five there was for an area to join the Rec. District. Mr. Kindel explained the District's tentative plan to increase the rate differential for recreation passes (golf and tennis). The Mayor was concerned that a valley-wide recreation district would be spread too thin. Mr. Kindel stated that there was no room in the valley for a second golf course, but that more tennis courts could be built and that possibly the Rec. District could control stream quality in the valley for better fishing. Councilwoman Klug was concerned that a greater rate differential would prohibit the employees from buying passes. Mr. Peterson explained that there would be no distinction between a property owner and a resident of an area as far as ability to buy a recreation pass was concerned; the rate would be the same as long as a person lived within the District boundaries. Councilman Donovan added that there is also an alternate facility available now with the development of Grouse Mountain. Mr. Kindel added that the Recre- ation District should be treated somewhat independently of the Town and the at her special districts. He felt that there would be no lass of leverage by the Town if the Rec. District included the whole valley, as there might be if one of the other districts included the whole valley. Mr. Elias stated that limiting the special districts' boundaries to those of the Tawn would limit the ability of the districts to offer their services, and he favored keeping the districts separ- ate from the Town. Mr. Kindel further mentioned the possibility of extending the Recreation District as far as Minturn, thereby lowering the pass prices for the whole area, but he agreed that the District would have to research whether or not Minturn has a large enough tax base. Mayor Dobson stated that it may be a desirable thing for the Recreation District to include the whole valley, but mentioned that the other special districts are needed as leverage to induce areas to annex to the Town. Mr. Kindel noted that inclusions to the Fire District might be limited because of the need to keep the insurance rating at 6 and that areas which might imperil that rating would not be desirable. Mr. Donovan added that the fire insurance rating is dependent upon the water storage and facilities of an area. Mr. Burdick stated that. it has been the policy of the Water and Sanitation District to require. areas requesting inclusion within the District to annex to the Town and to the other districts as well. Mr. Langmaid explained the Bighorn Water District's desire to consolidate with the Vail Water & Sanitation District and agreed with Mr. Wilto that the Town should concentrate on bringing the Bighorn area of the Town into the special districts. The Mayor returned to the question of the Recreation District. He asked how much additional revenue the District could expect if it included the entire valley. Mr. Bernstein stated that the District is now receiving around $90,000 in tax revenue and that if it included the whole valley, it would receive an addi~ tional X50,000 approximately. Mayor Dobson then asked if the District expected its resident pass rates to change very much. Mr. Kindel stated that the Board had not yet discussed future pass rates. Mr. Manzanares returned to the question of annexing the Lions Ridge area. He stated that the area meets all the requirements set forth for inclusion into all the special districts and far annexation to the Town and that the Town needs to respond to the area's request. Mayor Dobson stated that if all the require- ments are met, then the Town must encourage Lions Ridge to petition for annexation and for inclusion into the special dis- tricts:: Mr. Langmaid stated that the Fire District would accept the Lions Ridge area as long as it annexed to the Town simultan- eously. Mr. Hoyt stressed the need to effect the whole annexa- tion-inclusion package simultaneously. He stated that people petitioning for annexation to the Town expect to receive all municipal services, such as fire and water. Mr. Burdick, sp~ak- ing for the Water & Sanitation District, stated that Lions Ridge`s only technical problem regarding inclusion within his district is the lack of an interconnection between their district and the Town's. He also stated that the interconnection could be taken care of and the area included within the Vaal Water & Sari. Dist. soon. Mr. Langmaid suggested having a Town annexation election for Lions Ridge first, then the special district elections. Mayor Dobson felt that would be too unwieldy and suggested that perhaps the special district concept was outdated as far as Vail is con- cerned. He felt that the special district functions should be proper municipal functions and suggested discussing the possible dissolution of the districts. Mr. Kindel agreed and suggested setting up another joint meeting in June to discuss the idea. • At that point Mayor Dobson polled the regarding the annexation of the Lions The feeling was unanimously in savor pursue the annexation and subsequent was instructed to notify Lions Ridge Boards' approval.

To satisfy the Charter requirement a regular meeting was held on May 6, 1975, at 7:30 P.M. Only Ms. Klug attended the May 6th meeting since Messrs. Dobson, Langmaid, Slevin, and Staufer were away from Vail, being z understand in Ari2ona, Maui., London, . and Jamaica respectively. Mr. Donavan informed me on May 6th that he could not attend the meeting on account of personal bus- iness and Dr. Steinberg was likewise unable to attend. Even if Mr. Donovan and Dr. Steinberg had attended the May 6th meeting, a quorum would not have existed. At the meeting in addition to my regular duties I acted far the Town Manager since bath he and the Assistant Town Manager are also out of town and as Deputy Town Clerk. The meeting was called to order, Ms. Klug stated the reasons for the absence of the other council members, and T read Section ~.~ of the Charter, thereby indicating that the council ' could not conduct any business at the meeting due to the lack of a quorum of four members, and accordingly Ms. Klug adjourned the meeting to the date of the next regular meeting, May 20, 1975, at 7:30 P.M. Tt appears that four or more council. members will also be absent from the jurisdiction on May 20, 1975, such that business cannot be conducted in the meeting on that date. Nevertheless that meet- ing must be held. T will not attend the May 20th meeting as T will be in New York, New York, on that date on my vacation. Ms. Klug assured me that she will be in Vail and will attend the May 20th meeting, handling it similarly to the May 6th meeting in the event there is the lack of a quorum. Naturally, any other members r Town Council May 7, 3.975 Page 2 who are in town then should attend the May 20th meeting unless they have good cause which precludes their attendance. ~~ four members were to be able to attend the meeting on May 20th, bus- iness can be conducted, though in the absence of three members those present might consider it appropriate to defer delicate matters to a subsequEnt meeting which would be attended by all or most of the members. The Town Clerk will attend the May 20th council meeting as will either James F. Lamont ar J. Robert Manzanares to operate the tape recorder. As far as I am aware the Town Manager will also attend that meeting. Copies hereof have been directed to each o f them . I realize that it is some trouble to a number of persons, both council members and administrative employees, to have to attend the May 20th council meeting when it appears that there will not be a quorum and hence business cannot be conducted, but this is necessary in order for the council to comply with Section 4.1 of t he Charter .

He stated that the four-1-one interstate and the frontage road east of the East Vail Interchange would be paved in early September. With regard to water quality, Mr. Prosence commented that the highway department is making a great effort to keep the water quality high -using jute mesh and retention ponds. Daily water samples are being taken above and below the project, and a hydrologist is working on it. Mr. Prosence also reported that the highway department is committed to build an 8 ft. wide bicycle path over Vail Pass.

In his opinion, the highway department would look at the project request more realistically if this were done. He also stated that the.federal~~° government regards this portion of the interstate complete and no further funds are available in the budget for work in the area. Both the town manager and Councilman Staufer were of the opinion that this section of the highway is not complete; Mr. Prosence said that this view could be taken to the Federal Highway Division far their review, but forthcoming funds this year are doubtful.

The area in question has been termed "moderate" and would require special conditions for building. Andy Norris, of Vail Associates, explained VA's plan concerning buildab]e sites. Modifications can be made to the site and structure to allow building and protect the buyer.

There has been a proposal to use the existing highway poles for lines but these could not be used. Hookup requests in Booth Creek were low {15~), and the ordinance had stated that the extension would rely on the feasability of such an extension. Access easements are still forthcoming from various utility companies. The above items have been responsible for the slowness of cable television's extension this summer, according to discussions between Jim Lament and Don Morris, area supervisor for the company in Salida. Carl Oppenheim, Booth Creek resident, asked for recourse and pressure to be put an the company and that- the town attorney should review the ordinance and determine what can be done to enforce it. He commented that he would like to see the town council use all options and exercise legal aspects of control. According to the ordinance, the completion of the system and the location of the character-generator are the two areas which have not been completed. The town manager stated that among the options of the citizens are the right to revoke the franchise or operate it ourselves, but he noted that until now there has not been citizen consensus on either point. TOWN ATTORNEY REPORTS With regard to ordinance no. 13, the attorney noted an amendment to Section 4 which should read "with respect to Vail Village Tenth Filing" for the purpose of separating that area from the Katsos property.

The Mayor stated that Mr. Brazeal of CTI, Inc. has assured him that the line extension would be complete by the new programming season. Equipment is in Vail with exception of the 'supertrunk'. In response to a question concerning the above ground cable on Beaver Dam Road, Mr. Lamont commented that the company will bury that cable this summer. Kent Rose, town engineer, commented that power companies have taken down their lines and will bury them when cable tv is ready to bury their cable. The poles will then be removed. Several citizens complained about the ca51e tv company and commented that in their opinion the company is in violation of the local franchise. The Mayor stated that he will. personally request that Mr. Wm. Brazeal attend the next council meeting, August 19, 1975, to discuss problems with the system. Other complaints concerned construction standards, opinion survey, and monthly meetings between the town manager and cable tv people as outlined in the franchise. Jim Lamont noted that line locations in all areas must be approved by the Town of Vail. Ms. Barbara Loken stated that she has spoken personally to Don Morris, area supervisor far CTI, Inc., who commented that he was unable to give a date for completion of the extensions. She stated that he had also admitted to the violation of the ordinance and franchise. Ms. Loken then asked that the company be removed. News reporter from the Vail Trail, Cindy Lamont, asked,;"When is the Town going to make cable television live up to its agreement?" The Mayor replied that the town has little choice in the matter but to wait. Ms. Lamont then asked if the town had considered taking over the franchise. The Mayor commented that there had been some considera- tion of that possibility. Councilman Staufer noted that the last time the Town of Vail informed the cable company that they were in violation of the franchise they turned off the television; he remarked that citizens should remember the result. Mike Loken, Booth Greek resident awaiting service, commented that a c1 ass action is needed against cable television and against the town council for misrepresentation, since the cable company is in violation of the franchise. The Mayor again asked that people wait until Mr. Brazeal comes to the next meeting. Minutes 5 August 1975 Page 3 Mr. Carl Oppenheim, Booth Creek resident and manager of Mountain Haus Condominium, asked that the town attorney research and prepare a report for the citizens as to their legal regress fom~the next regular meeting, August 19th. Councilman Donovan then noted for the record that the Town of Vail is allocating $2,000 to the Ski Museum project far completion of architectural drawings for the building. Councilman Donovan then remarked about the numerous complaints he has received concerning treatment of persons using the transportation center parking lot. He stated that the treatment of the guest is very poor and that the problem will be remedied within two days. There was a brief recess before the Public Hearing on Vail Today and Tomorrow. POBLIC HEARING - VAIL TODAY AND TOMORROW Mayor Dobson outlined .t he recent history of the decision to slaw down the Antholz planning process and re-evaluate the community's ~- goals in relation to our needs and economic abilities. We noted that several presentations would be made by the staff and design team to inform the public of the status of the design process. Town Manager Terry Minger commented that there are certain community values for which the town government should be responsible. He noted that the municipal government should be sound and follow a conservative fiscal role in its activities; it should continue to build an art and cultural tradition here; it should continue to serve the recre- ational needs of the guests; and finally, it should improve the business and economic conditions of the community especially in regard to the summer month activities. He remarked on the importance of an environmental ethic to protect and preserve our physical environment. Values translate into goals. The town manager then asked that the individual goals committees prepare a goal statement in the next 30 days. He emphasized the difference between needs and wants of the community. Craig Steinman, architect from Kump Associates, discussed the design status of the Antholz project and the limitations related to putting • all facilities on that site. The town manager stated that the entire concept should be looked at over the next 45 - 50 day period, with alternatives being studied and a report to the town council making the findings known to the public. He commented that public input is crucial to this re-evaluation. With regard to the fiscal and budgetary constraints which exist in the town, a Mr. Colgrove questioned the issuance of $S,000,OOO in industrial revenue bonds on September 2, 1975 and its relationship to the Rntholz project. He stated that he is against further taxation without repre- sentation. Mr. Minger explained that the Vail Associates Industrial Revenue Bond issuance is being underwritten by the Town of Vail with no financial obligation to the Town of Vail or its taxpayers, that the reason this is being done is to give VA the opportunity tv make im- provements on their recreational facilities on the mountain with no interest on these bands since it is done through the municipality. Mr. Minger emphasized that the Town is under no obligation for the monies, and that the procedure is allowed under state statute. Minutes 5 August 1975 Page 4 A member of the audience questioned the transportation problems which would have occurred if the civic/recreational center had been constructed on the Antholz property, and the negative aspect of .having such a struc- ture geographically separated from the hotels and lodges. The town manager stated that the Town of Vail can afford a $5 - 7 million dollar band issue and still service the debt over the next 5 year period. After that time, another $5 - 7 million could be financed. We noted that transportation and utilities were the major economic concerns in the operating casts of the Antholz property. According to Mr. Minger, choices of the community ranged from doing nothing, to a phased project, to a decentralized project. He remarked that the essential element would be to get the programs and activities going, and having the brick and mortar follow. He noted that the staff has checked the available land and resources available. He stated that the Antholz property is one of our most valuable uncommitted reY sources and that phasing the project and looking at alternatives to that parcel of land would have a low risk for the town. We remarked on the value of Site 24 with its location between the two village cares and its accessability on the bus route, Bab Royston, landscape planner with the firm of Royston, Hanamoto, Beck and Abey, then talked to the council concerning the Vail Plan concept and the visions of a well-planned community from its inception to the present. Christoper Jaffe, acoustics expert, commented on the need fora we11- planned program before details of structure are discussed. We discussed the multi-purpose use of a large arena, convention center, etc. David Kent, financial consultant on the arts, reported on the costs of operating such a facility - i.e., multi-use building as ice arena, convention center and arts & crafts facility - stating that the costs would be very high and the income low, Craig Steinman then briefly discussed alternative uses of both Site 24 and the Antholz property far a variety of activities and services. The Mayor then asked for community input and opinions. Dale McCa11 stated that in the future these-decisions should be made sooner in the planning process, and that economics rebated to the guest should be looked at more closely. Me remarked that the site next to the parking structure on the east side should be considered for something. We stated that there is a need for revenue producing amenities. The Mayor agreed that the core of the problem is determining our priorities. A member of the audience then commented that a convention center is a high priority and that the core areas should be utilized for that, with a recreational/cultural facility to go on Site 24. Rod Slifer, Chairman of the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District, briefly explained the capabilities of the Rec District and its service plan. We stated that the District has the facility to assit the Town financially in building an ice arena. Bob Parker commented that there isn't yet enough reliable information concerning those two projects and the financial implications involved, The Mayor then asked that the URA and the goals committee involved with the ice arena search for answers to the economic feasibility of such a project. Mr. Abbott asked whether those citizens who own property here but do not vote could be informed in the decision-making process. • Minutes 5 August 1975 Page 5 The Mayor then asked whether those present were in consensus regarding decentralization. The response was affirmative. Mr. McCall then commented that a multi-use facility is in conflict with a convention center due to a 2 to 5 year lead time needed to book conventions. Mr. Bud Benedict, lodge manager in Lionshead, emphasized a need fora convention facility. The Mayor then thanked the design team and the public for their input and asked that during the next 60 days alternatives be studied for a solution to our community's needs. As there was no further business, th m in s djourned at 11:15 pm. // Mayor` ATTEST: V~ Town C 1 er~ G~ C \~ • V`~, ~~ -: 3.. CL ~ ?C ~ ~ ~ ~ ,.~ +, C ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ++ ~ y y ~ y ~ 7 lam. ~ Gd d ~ ~ .

Two of the owners would like to add square footage to the lofts. Jay K. Peterson was present to represent Mrs. Cohen. The. Mayor stated that in work session that afternoon the council had decided to allow the addition of square footage to the interior, but they would want to consult with the P1:anning Commission to review the patio requests. It was their opinion that the Design Review Board also needs to look at the request. Mr. Peterson noted that the Design Review Board review would be a totally different process, separate from the Council's.

Any other parties wishing to be serv iced will be required to have 10 subscribers per 1,320 feet, with a cost of $2 per foot to extend the line to be paid by the subscribers. Ms. Barbara Loken stated that the Booth Creek residents were not told that service to their area was to be con- ditional, and in her opinion the Town Council did not inform the public.

Stan Bernstein explained the fiscal implications of servicing such a debt; he stated that it would be prudent to spread the burden of the cost over twenty M ,years.
