Rather than have any part of the building encroach onto highway right-of-way, we would prefer to sell a strip o£ lead to the Tawn of Vail so that all parts of the building would be on city property. We have no objections to extension of the frontage road paving to provide a bus parking lane, or construction of a sidewalk and supporting retaining wall south of the parking lane. When plans are firmed up, we will be glad to work with you on details of a land exchange. Very truly yours, L. C. BOWER CHIEF ENGINEER R. A.

Minger SUBJECT: Minutes of Meeting of $ June 1972 re: Bus Requirements for Vai! Transportation Terminal PRESENT: Continental Trailways, Denver, Colorado Mr . F I oyd Roberts James Ream and Associates Mr. James T . Ream DATE: 16 June X972 Mr. Floyd Roberts of Continental Trailways met with the architects to review the design for bus facilities at the Vail Transportation Terminal. The fallowing com- ments were made: 1 . Continents! Trailways has at present five scheduled trips to Denver and five to Grand Junction per day, operating buses that have a capacity of 46 passengers. During the ski season, one additions! trip to Aspen (each way) is added. On Fridays and Saturdays additional trips are ad- ded between Stapleton Airport and Vail . On 5aturc~ay, for example, ten sections depart from Stapleton Airport on a staggered schedule. This permits staggered unloading at Vail so that it can bE, anticipated that no more than two or three buses would be unloading at any one time. 2. The greatest anticipated accumulation of buses would be five to six with ten being an absolute maximum. Buses would unload at the term- inal, then be removed to a parking area to be out of the way of Further unloading operations. When parked, buses are normally left with motors idling to keep them warm for easy starting. An alternative would be an electric line to permit electrically heated dip sticks in the crank cases to keep the oil from thickening. Bus drivers are paid far waiting time and should remain close to their buses for security reasons. (Not part of meeting: The area immediately east of the project site, north of the Blue Cow and adjacent to the frontage,road should be considered for bus parking and turnaround in addition to the new location for the gas building .) 3. It would be desirable to have the bus parking area as close as possible to the slopes in order to facilitate skiers returning to the buses for stored articles, if this is Feasible. 4. It would be desirable to have a waiting area for bus drivers if this can be done without undue cost. Otherwise, drivers would probably use the bus terminal space for waiting. 5. A maximum seating capacity desired at the terminal for bus operations would be 40-45 seats. In inclement weather when trips are delayed, passengers could wait in the heated buses rather than to expand the terminal capacity for indoor wailing. .. Memorandum ' 16 June 1972 Page Two. 6. Seven feet of counter space is sufficient, plus a baggage well, 1$" from the floor and 35" - 40" wide, open on tap. 7. The baggage room should be provided adjacent to the ticket counter with wide doors opening out to the bus loading area. The doors should permit easy passage of a 32" wide baggage cart. 8. For light food service vending machines are not preferred. Preferable would be a concession food counter providing self-service operations. Concession operators would also handle clean-up in tlae terminal . If this concession is of good quality it would be a preferred food stop for through trips which now stop at the Antler's Cafe in Frisco. This type of operation can feed a bus load in 10 minutes or less with good design and management. Arrangements should be made to provide employees with a place to eat as well as passengers. 9. Space should be provided for taxi parking at curbside for shuttle opera- tions to the lodges . 10. Mr. Roberts suggested that buses with day skiers only unload at the covered bridge turn-around for close access to the slopes. Reloading for the home trip would take place at the terminal in the norma{ man- ner. This is similar to the present operation at Lyon's Head . 11 . Because the number of loading and unloading operations projected is not as high as had been previously thought, Continental recommends that we do not construct the top level of the parking structure to ac- cept the increased live loads of buses. We will, therefore, revise our structural loading criteria to accept only automobile and maintenance vehicle traffic. 12. The toilet facilities shown could be reduced in number as it is assumed that most bus passengers will wait until they reach their lodge and hotel accommodations to use toilet facilities. Toilet rooms should be planned for hose down maintenance. 13. Continental would recommend that study be given to locating toilets at the waiting room level, if possible, to discourage hold-ups. It was conceded, however, that the Vail market is not typical of most bus traffic and this might be less of a problem in this location. 14. The elevator is not considered necessary to adequate circulation. A broad stairway, not too steep in pifch, would be satisfactory. . 15. Continental will require graphic identification on the front of the building which will be designed by the architects and purchased by Continental Trailways. They also desire their awn electric meter, independent of other concessionaires. 16. It was pointed out that when the terminal is in operation, all con- cessions are accessible to the public . Some thought should be given to the provision for any necessary security measures which may be re- quired by concessions which are oat open for business during all hours the terminal will be open. r R a Memorandum 16 June 1972 Page Three. 17. It is possible that the taxi companies may want a dispatch office and drivers' reporting room. Western Union may also wish to lease space in the terminal . 18. It was suggested that a long distance telephone center may also be an appropriate auxiliary use for a portion of the building. Please review this summary and forward any corrections or qualifications to the writer within 10 days, or this memorandum will be assumed to be correct. mes T.Iteam, A.I.A. cc: Mr. Floyd Roberts, Continental Trailways Mr. Chuck Keyes, Ketchum, Konkel, Barrett, et al . • JAMES REAM AND ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS ARCHITECTURE AND INpUSTRIAL bESIGN • 243 KEARNY STREET • SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA 84108 • (415) 888-2616 • 16 June ] 972 Terrell J . Minger, Town Manager Town of Vail Box 631 Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Terry, I have had a telephone conversation this week with John Gannon of the Hyder Construction Company and Chuck Keyes of KKB.PIA, Structural Engineers, con- cerning the possible effects of an early start on the Vail Transportation Terminal . ' They have the following comments: 1 . The precast concrete contractor is the most affected by the time schedule. Prestress Concrete of Colorado reports that if they could cast through the winter when demands on their plant are l fighter, a savings of at least 5°l0 should result. Since these components are a major portion of the cast of the project (over $600,000}, this represents a very significant potential savings . 2. Because of the tight original time I imits for the project, we were required to use four precast twin-tees in each 27` bay due to the greater number of forms available for this size. With more time, we could use a 9' wide form requiring only three twin-tees per bay. Since only one form is avail- able, it would require 6 to 7 months to cast the needed pieces. This would require starting in the fall to be ready for spring erection. These tees would not be less expensive, but with l/4 fewer members to erect, time would be saved on the construction schedule plus an exact fit achieved with the 9' wide parking module employed in the design. 3. In many other areas, more time would avoid the necessity of overtime wage rates, payment of subsistance allowance to imported labor, and premium payments on rapid shipping methods. We are hoping that if it is possible to proceed with the project development in the near future, it may also be possible to get the work under contract well in advance of the spring building season. If this can be done, the poten- tial savings outlined above may help offset the normal annual increase in con- . struction costs. Best regards, r~ James T.

Minger Mayor John Dobson The Board of Trustees June 15, 1972 The Town of Vail P.O. Box 63l Vail - Colorado 81657 Gentlemen: I am writing on behalf of the Vail Homeowners Association to enquire into several matters. First, above ground wires: I have been promised several times, regardless of who has the franchise, that the wires will be buried. May T have a status report on this? The years are slipping by, four I believe, since I first tackled this problem. Second, two-family zoning: I was promised last December, in a homeowners meeting, by Mr. Slifer and Mr. Minger ( z believe) that a definition of a Boarding Hause would be forthcoming shortly. It is now June. Third, roads: while I strenuously object to road widening activities (as do most of the homeowners I have talked to) I do not object to road repairs snd resurfacing where it is needed, Dumping more fill on top does not seem to me to be a long range solution. Cement retaining walls seem a better approach. I would also like to recommend snow removal rathex than snow plowing, as we are loosing trees along the side of the road from plowing and a lot of sanding material is being dumped alongside the road choking vegetation. Snow removal might solve both of these problems. A sign on Beaver Dam Road at the bridge saying RESIDENTIAL AREA. - PRIVATE might aisa be a good idea. We are now victims of flower picking, litter clumping tourists. We don't need ar want them on Beaver Dam, k'orest, and Rock Ledge roads. Off the subject of homeowners, a suggestion on the valor of the water works at Booth Creek. Green is the wrong color. The tan color of the telephone microwave station blends in with the background much better on s year round basis, where green is really conspicuous during the winter. May I hear from you on the wires and the zoning. Thank you. Sincerely, VA ~ OMEO ASSOCIATION Ro r/ C. Brown Pre ident ec: Rodney E.

After having made a compre- hensive survey of the feasibility of such a service, I am of the opinion that a facility of this nature is greatly needed and would be an asset to Vail in that we would be able to provide a service which is now lacking and for which other business owners and man- agers must go to Denver, Grand Junction or elsewhere in order to satisfy their printing and reproduction needs. An exhaustive search far suitable office space has disclosed that the only available space in the town for such a facility is in the basement of the Mountain Ffaus. I am presently negotiating with the owner of the space involved, Unit 2, for the purchase of it; which consists of about 700 square feet and which is presently being used for storage. The purchase of this space is dependent upon proper zoning authorization for my proposed use: If such use is permitted, I will then undertake to satisfy all building code requirements for the proposed operations. The equipment for this facility will include a small (14x18) offset floor model press, a platemaker, small darkroom with a reproduction camera, table top folder, paper cutter, bench model paper drill, a light and layout table, a standard typewriter and a composition typing machine, a copier, and various accessory items of equipment. The operation of such a facility in the proposed location should not ~e objectionable in view of the fact that the above equipment could b:e operated and would fit into any general office setup where a large amount of duplicating work is done. The operating of this equipment, including the offset press, is clean and modern, and in no way like that of the old style letterpress print shop. Moreover, the only other facilities presently in the basement of the Mountain Naus are The Uealth Spa (now defunct), rest rooms, swimming pool and . saunas. Accordingly, there would be no interference with any sur- rounding facilities. With the above equipment we will be able to produce most of the pro- motional material which is required by the various lodges, restau- rants, shops, developers, realtors, and others in the Vail area. Boars! of Trustees ~3une 26, 1972 We will also be able to produce stationery, forms, cards, menus, and • all other in-house type printed matter, as well as providing instant printing and copy service. We will do any yr all layout and design as may be required or can work directly from camera-ready copy. Eventually, we will be able to do full four color process work on the premises. The proposed Tocation of our facility is presently zoned "Public Accommodations," and it is unclear whether a printing facility as described above would be included within such a definition. For this reason, I am asking your authorization far such an office under the present zoning. Your attention and kind consideration in this matter is greatly appreciated. i ncerelyC, 4 Louis M.

Town of Vail Vail, Colorado 8165 Gentlemen: With the deepest regret T~must offer my immediate resignation as a trustee of the Town of Vail. My reasoning: Tam distressed that in certain aspects of extreme significance to the community the proposed Home Rule Charter is un- reasonable, unjust and incomplete. As the charter is now written, T would be disqualified from holding office as a trustee, when and if the charter becomes effective. I have been placed in a most un- comfortable position if T speak out on facets of the charter that disturb me. ~y own conscience and the advice and support of many Vail citizens with whom T have discussed these matters compells me to bring my views re: the charter to the charte~c commission and to the electorate. T plan to ask the Charter Commission for-time to present my views at one of their regular meetings, Twill also speak out at the public hearings that are contemplated. Tn the meantime, I wi~.l be working in concert with a large body of Vail citizens who share my reservations about certain provisions of the charter, To reduce the possibility of being chaxged with leek of ob,~ectivity in this vita~_ area of local government it appears I must resign as a trustee. At the sme time T offer my thanks to the rooters who recent~.y elected me a trlltutEe. T shall always appreciate their expression of confi- dence in me.

Box 1208 Vail, Colorado 81657 August 2, 1972 Mayor John Dobson Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Mayor~Dobson: I request permission and permits to operate, horse drawn sleighs during the forthcoming 1972-73 winter season in the Town of Vail. Our preliminary plans are to provide sleigh service to and from the Home Stake project at Lions Ridge and Vail Village. The Lions Ridge project will include a Swedish type restaurant and 160 condominium units. Skiers residing in these condominiums will be on the M.A.P. package for approximately seven days. At least one or two of the days will include a sleigh ride and dinner in Vail Village or Lionshead. To further expand the sleigh service and put it on a profitable basis we will also offer package plan service from Vaal Village and Lionshead to the Swedish restaurant each evening. We would also like to operate between the Vail golf course and the Lions= head area. Research has shown that approximately 75~ of the skiers do not have any type of transportation during their stay here. we are aware of the free shuttle bus service offered by Vail Associates; however, we are trying to provide something unique for our guests. The success of last year's Russian Excursions proved that this type of service is what most ski vacationers want while vacationing here. We currently have in our possession nine teams of matched horses and two sleighs. We plan to expand our assets to twelve teams and five sleighs. Each sleigh will carry from 20 to 25 people using two teams of matched horses each. The sleighs will be brightly painted and have all the available safety features to insure a non-hazardous operation. Our total investment for a complete sleigh operation will amount to approximately $20,000 to $25,000. All the sleighs will have to be modified to include rubber tires and perhaps a hydraulic landing gear mechanism. Charles Gersbach has granted us permission to use the Anholtx property to winter the horses. We will ask the Town of Vail for permission to construct a temporary quanset but to house the 2 • horses this winter. Also, we would like permission to bring in and locate a house trailer near the quanset but for the sleigh drivers. I have personally selected a most capable man, Frank E. Melvin, to supervise the entire horse transportation project. Frank is 39 years old and has been a horseman for the last 35 years. He is currently selling his bar and liquor store in Bond, Colorado, to head up th].5 operation. Frank will personally hire only experienced horse men and train them himself as sleigh drivers. The training sessions will include alb. the do's and don't's of Vail Village. He will work closely with our local police depart- ment on all traffic safety. Also working with Frank will be three other capable men with years of experience. They are Edward Peterson, age 33, Larry Puryear, ~,ge 3~ and Art Wilson, age 65. I personally feel we have some of the finest horsemen in the country to head up one of the most unique operations at any ski area in the country. Since we will also be operating on Frontage Road during the evenings, you can rest assured that proger head and tail lights will be affixed on our sleighs. All horse manure in the core area will be our responsibility for immediate removal. As a final recap, we feel the sleigh service operation will enhance the Vail ski image and provide unique entertainment for our guests. Further, we are looking to the future to provide a complete summer program for Vail to include stage coaches, hay rides and western rodeos, etc. We urge your speedy approval of this request so that we may start our first phase within the next seven days. __ 'ncerely, ~~ _ obe~owlett dward Peterson Frank E .

Re: Parking Crowley Residence Gentlemen: As you can see from the enclosed plot, the front of this lot facing Beaver Dam Road is extremely steep and thereby making it most difficult to park three cars up on the lot without considerable excavation and cutting of trees, We therefore request that you allow us to park three cars off Beaver Dam Road as shown on the sketch. Since this has been done with several other houses in this area we feel that is a reason- able request. Thank u for your cons ideration. ,~- Coi~dial , `~22.(, ~~~~/ Ro ert W.

County Planning Commission Eagle County Courthouse Eagle, Colorado Gentlemen• ~n accordance with section 3.05.02 of the county subdivision regulations•1 the Town of Vail submits to the County_Planningg Commission its review of the preliminary plat entitled, "K.A.C. of Vail." The following points were raised: {1} Have the proper flood plains been defined on Gore Creek? • (1) 50 yr, starrn (2) l00 yr-storm (3) Design flood plain The proper location of the flood plain would have an effect up- on the required 30' setback for construction. (2) Will the existing ground cover remain ~.ntact along the stream bank? We believe that no burming should take place within the public easement adjacent to Gore Creek. (3} We have determined that the existing pond functions as a settling pond to remove po- tential siltation from excessive snow and rain runoff. To alter the present size of the pond would be to increase the probabil- ity of siltation in Gore Creek. • (~) Having reviewed the soil report, we are con- cerned that the present aquifiing function of subsoils will be disturbed, therefore, creating an adverse affect upon the migra-~ tion of ground water which supplies Gore Creek Because of the interference with ground water flows, it may have a polluting effect. (~) Reviewing the proposed drainage plan, we have '°' the following comments: (A} Provision should be made to trap run- . off from paved areas to-collect oil, ` grease, trash, and silt. (B) The drainage easements. are now 10' in width. The County Subdivision Requi- sition requires. a. miniFaum of 20 ` in • width. (C) That during and after construction, a landscaping plan be submitted so as to assure the minimal siltation of Core Creek and erosion of the sate. We recom- mend_.that a performance bond be re-~ . quired of the developer by the County to assure compliance with this stipula- tion. (6} Having reviewed the site plan the following com- ments are made: (A) The proposed parking along the County road requires that vehicles back into a heavy traffic area causing a clear and distinct hazard. (B} The configuration of on-site interior parking does not separate pedestrian and bike traffic, thus causing a danger from near--blind backing into a traffic right-of-way. The density of the pro- ject will generate heavy vehicular traf- fic that necessitates adequate pedestrian and bike separation which has not been defined on the plan. (C) The configuration of the parking creates danger to cars traveling along the pri- vate drive. A provision should be made to reduce traffic flow. (D) Enough space has not been provided for snow removal. Plowing onto public roads is not allowed. This could have an effect on the number of parking spaces available to the project residents, (E) ~n terms of fire control, insufficient access to each building is interferred with due to the configuration of the parking adjacent to each structure. n .. {7) In applying the Uniform Building Code, to the site plan we find that .the distance between structures is inadequate. The UEC requires l0' where as sep- aration of some structures is much less. This could have serious consequences ~Eor fire control. • C, t {8 )` In relating said project to the surrounding region, the following points should be considered: (A} We feel that the construction of this project is°~n obvious departure from the past and present use of this land, which may have an adverse effect upon property values in the area. We suggest that property owners in the district be contacted as to their views concern- ing the project. {B) The property contiguous to the project should be taken into account, regarding proposed roads,easements~and general land use. {9} In considering the recent statement by the Vail. Associates that limits. will be set on the number of skiers using the mountain, we feel that a balanced density should be sought in the valley which reflects the mountain capacity. We feel that this project only aggravates the current imbalance which is presently emerging in the valley. The Town of Vail regards the area in which "K.A.C. of Vail ". is located as coming under annexation within the next few years. It is the policy of the Town-Government to reduce densities rather than increase them. It is for this reason we would recommend that the area in East Vail be subject to, and compatible with the future plans of the Town of Vail. The very existence of this subdivision will create pressure upon already strained recreational facilities in the town for which no, or limited financial benefits will be realized. In conclusion we recommend that this preliminary plat not be approved subject to further study and conformance with the point raised herein. Sincerely, 1 Terrell J. Min g Town Manager TJM/cb ~~ ,.

Box 563 Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Dick: ~~~~ i C~u~t uc, .~` a ~~ i i Sm writing to you in regard to the Elimination of our open end garage in our house, ?Mill Creek Circle, which has recently been stopped by the Vail Building Commissioner. We are writing to you in hopes that a variance can be glade possible for the following reasons. 1. The original building covenants received and used by our architect, David Decker, made no mention of •maximum land living area ratio. . , 2. There will tae no added outside structure as the garage is • an integral part of the house with only l6 feet of wall space needed to enclose it. 8. The garage as constituted is an eyesoxe to the neighborhood and detracts from the value and beauty not only of the surround- itag homes but to the city of Vail. Wa feel the elimination of the garage and the completion of our total landscaping plan which is underway should make the. first house vn Mill Creek Circle one the city can be proud of, and should increase the value of the surrounding Yard and homes. . In the past. we have cooperated in every way possible -with the ' architectural hoard and trust that they will appreciate the necessity and enclose it. - ~ . It was suggested that tive ask the sentiment of the trustees before we apply for a variance.

C. DiMiceli Chief of Police RE: Ernst Lanese development On October 17 the site of the proposed .development was visited by Mr. Lanese and the Chief of Police. -The proposed driveway and parking area were described by Mr. Lanese. During the period of March 14-20, 1972, a traffic count was conducted at various locations in Vail. One location monitored traffic southbound an East Meadow Drive in the area of the Short Swing and the bridge. Total traffic at this point is shown be- low. It is felt that the figures for March 15, 15 and 18 are most accurate. Malfunctions and tampering with the equipment caused lowered counts. 3-14-72 592 3-15-72 769 3-15-72 1362 3-17-72 230 3-18-72 1519 3-19-72 485 3-20-72 516 A similar count was conducted at Vail Road and the South Frontage, far vehicles entering Vail. This count reveals that on March 16 and 18 traffic crossing the bridge was slightly less than twenty-five percent {25~) of all traffic entering the village. A projection of traffic in this area for Winter 72/73 is difficult to provide without additional research. A conser- vative projection of a fifteen percent (15~) increase is in line with the annual increase in skiing business, ;^ Board of Trustees 2 October 27, 1972 ~ . Traffic northbound, across the bridge, onto East Meadow Drive, has not been counted. •It appears to match the opposing traffic, which was counted. Hazards to through traffic, and the customers of Mr. Larese, are readily. apparent at this location. The proposed one way designation of the driveway cannot be effectively enforced. The driveway and parking area, blocked with two way traffic, will require customers to back into traffic to leave the area. ' Vehicles crossing the traffic lane to enter, or exit, the restaurant pose a potential hazard. While such crossing is not contemplated by Mr. Larese, it should realistically be expected to occur. The road design at this location, which includes a narrow bridge, sharp left corner, two parking lot driveways, and no pedestrian walkway, creates a critical traffic flow area. Accident frequency at this point is not unusual. The effect of the introduction of slow moving, turning traffic at this location is unknown except to recognize the creation of addi- tional potential hazards to through traffic. • MCD/Cls ~~ Ernst Lanese, Box 1522 P,Q,, VATL.

Brawntng District Ranger United States Forest Service M[nturn, Colorado B9 B45 Dear Ed: Thank you for the opportunity to co~-nment on Vai I Associates' Master Plan of the Vail Ski Complex, Both the Town Council ~-nd the Planning Commission have had the opportunity to see and review the plan. I will respond to your questions to tha sequence they were presented in your fetter of September 12, 1972. 1. The proposed optimum design-»day capacity aP 10,90 and the maximum skier--day capacity of 12,500 to 14,000. The Town oP Vail heartily endorses these self imposed maximums as a necessary and workable step to stabilize growth and speculation while continuing to provide a quality skiing experience. As you are keenly aware, the unprecedented growth presently occurring in the Gare Vaiiey neces- sitates the placing o€ carrying capacities on all our resources, be they recreation, water, sewer, parking or game. This summer, for example, our summer amenities oP golf and tennis were sorely over- ' taxed for the first time in Vaii's history. As a result, the Vait ' Planning Commission is currently studying the possibility oP lower- ing zonir:g building densities within the town. We Peet this is neces- sary if we are to avoid exceeding the summer and winter, carrying capacities of our valley. The establishment of an upper limit on the skier capacity of the mountain is the most logical and direct rr~eans of providing the balance between nature and man in Vail. The Figures appear to be quite realistic in terms of today's bed capacities and the town's ability to provide additional recreational amenities in the summer. 2. The public parking demand of 2, 980 cars, based on the design-day. I must take exception to the analysis of the parking situatton in the Town of Veil. The following issues and questions must be addressed if we are to solve our parking needs: rage ' Mr. Edward R. Browning Qctober 18, I972 a. Today Vait Village has a parking deficiency oP 400--500 cars iP we mereiy apply the present zoning ordinance, This makes no provision for the day skier. b. There is no mention oP the tremendous parking demand being generated by tie out-oP-town, l~r-wa[ley population. C. The Anthotz parking option watt enly be available Por this year and subsec~uentty wilt only serve new need generated by a lift out oP that area. d. The shuttle bus operation as it now exists is overrated. tt is not an alternative to providing more parking; it is only a means oP removing same parking fn dose proximity of the commercial cores. e. I disagree with Paragraph It, Subsection C, that projected parking demands watt exceed actual dayw today demand. This simply has not been our expert-- ence in the past and I don't se® the pattern changing Por the next 5 to i O years . ~'. There is no attempt to anatyxe the Impact oP Beaver Creek or Meadow Mountain on Vait's parkir~ needs. Surely Vait wilt remain as the central commercial center Por many years after these areas are brought on tine. g. There exist no short-term er~rgency sotuttons or plar~.s for the maximum-clay period. There must be some fi textbility to absorb the meuclmurrs-day skier. The town is presently devetoping a master plan Por the village which wilt focus on these crucial transportation needs. We are considering the development of structured parking, transportation terminal, increased intra-valley bus service, interc®ptor valley parking arxi a regional mass transit system. However, some oP the costs and solutions must be jointly shared by Vail Associates iP we are to make them work. It seems to me that we need to re-study and re-evaluate our parking and transportation n©eds tP we are to have a Vail Mountain Master Ptan~~~:~t works in the valley below. Mr. Eidward R, Browning . -~ October i 6, 1972 •., J 3. The ®xpressed policies of 8n out-roP-•valley l#tlt capacity oP twe hours and a maximum lift line policy of Pit°teen minutes. Both policies are to be applauded. Thsy are necessary and vital to the needs o~ a first-rate qualfty community and totally in harony with the proposed optimum skier capacity. In summary, the Town cf Vail appreGiat+~s your continued cc~cern anC! stands ready to work with the Forest Service and Vaft Associ€~tes toward the solution of our mutual parblems. I would hope to have more input on the parking and transportation problem as our town master plan develops. Sincerely, Terrell J.

Stone, Clerk October 12, 1972 Mr. Ted Poliac Chairman oP the Board Eagle County School District Re50.1 Vail, Colorado 87857 Dear Ted: As you already are aware, Dr. Richard Taylor, Dtrector of Field Services for the Colorado Department of Education, met, at my request, with a group of parents from the Vail area. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss grcwvth~related school problems in the eastern portion of the county. Cut of this meeting evolved the concept of estate-conducted study of the public and private educa- • tional programs and facilities within the District. I am aware that the present school board and staFF have been under a great deal of pressure and stress as well as befng often placed in compromising and awkward positions as s result of the unprecendented ggowth at this end of the county. It is the hope of the Town Council that potential polarization and fragmentation of diFferent parent or citizen groups can be avoided or at least minimized. Yt seems to us that a logicz~l first step should be a prafesstonally- adminlstered survey of our educational needs and priorities. We are confident that such a study would be acceptable to all concerned parties. Hopefully, it would serve as the catalyst necessary to br€ng all segments of the county together in a united rote of enhancing the quality of education in Eagle County. Dr. Taylor felt that not only was such a study feasible and warranted, but that it could be completed by the end of Noven~er, He also stated that outro~pocket costs to the ©istrict would not exceed $7,000. . ~ Page 2 " , Mr' : Ted Potiac October 12, 1972 The Vail Town Council has therefore asked me to respectt~ily request that such a survey or study be authorised and requested by the school board at the earliest possible date. As in the past, we stand ready and willing to support and encourage any efforts to increase the quality and dimension of education in the District. Tf i can be of any further mssistance regarding this matter, please don't hesitate to colt on me. ~ inaere ly, Terrell J.

As you know, there are always surprises, but I feel this is about 75~ or more of the possible construction. In almost all cases, the architect for each project was contacted to determine a reasonable valuation, and the status of -l~he project. CORE AND VILLAGE AREA Snowbird - A lodge, condominium complex adjacent to new bank in a P.A. zone. Owner - Kaiser Morcus; architect - Bob Engelke; valua- tion $850,000. Working drawings are complete and prestress is being manufactured, Village Centre - Twenty-eight Iarge condominiums across from Gross-- Roads, located in CCII zone. Owner - Fred Hibberd, Jr.; architect and builder - Hibberd Construction Company; valuation - $1,200,040. Working drawings are complete and excavation for building completed In 1972. Most subscontracts for this building have already been awarded. Three Willow Place - Seventeen condominium units located on Willow Circle in an H.D.M.F, zone. Owner - Nancy Rich; architect - Gordon Pierce; valuation - $400,000. Working drawings comple~Fe and have been submitted to .I .C.B.0. for plan check and to the building depart- ment for a permit.

Ri] together there are about 50 townhouse units planned. The area is zoned M.E, and two architects are working on-these projects: Gordon Pierce and Stockwell. The estimated valuation is $1,500.,000 and there are some preliminary drawings complei~e. RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION I think we can estimate that approximately 15 single family and duplex residences will be constructed in 1.973 at~an average cost of approximately $75,000 or a total of $],125,000. DEMOLITION There are several buildings (existing) for sale which will be subject to demolition to make way for new construction. Most of these are still in the rumor stage with nothing firm, to my knowledge. The sites in question are in H.D,M,F. and P,A, zones. u .~" . , DOCKET DEFENDANT VAxL MUNTCZ~'AL COURT November 1972 35 Charles Baribeau ~. Betty Baribeau ' 36 Tim A., Stone 39 Thomas` A.

In the cases where some materials have been orde-red, the estimate would be higher. Land purchase costs for these projects- varies from approximately $5.00 per square foot to as high as $8.00 per square foot. .~' MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES/PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 3, 1972 A special meeting of the Board of Trustees for the Town of Vail and the Vail Planning Commission was held pursuant to call and notice at the hour of 7:30 p. m. January 3, 1972, at the Vail Municipal. Building.' The following members of the Board of Trustees were present, con- stituting aquorum: Mayor John Dobson Trustee Clayton Freeman Trustee Dick Bailey Trustee Dr. Thomas Steinberg Trustee John Donovan The following members of the. Vail Planning Commission were present, constituting a quorum; ~--,.~ John Dobson John Donovan Dave Gorsuch Rod Slifer, Chairman Bob Clark Other persons present at this meeting were: Terrell J . Minger, Town Manager Larry Robinson, Town Attorney The meeting was called to order by Mayor John Dobson, and the Planning Commission and the Board of Trustees discussed the proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. Chuck Ogilby appeared on behalf of Apollo Development Co. and advised the Board that provisions of proposed amendments would satisfy his needs and that a variance would, therefore, not be necessary. The Board agreed to provide Apollo Park with a memorandum indicating a building permit would be issued on the basis of revised parking require- ments at such time as the other requirements for a building permit had been met . Robert Nott, Vail Associates' Vice President ~of Real Estate stated that proposed parking requirements were possibly too stringent for the larger condominiums . David (Skip) Behrhorst appeared for Shareholders' Recreation Programs, Inc. , He referred to plans for the Shareholders project and pointed out the areas in v~b~ ich parking variances had been requested, a total of 16. The recommendation of the Planning Commission was to approve place- ment on the southeast side of the building of ten spaces on road to Lions Head Gondola and to deny the six places on the loop road adjacent to the „. applicant's property. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p. m. .f T wn lark ~~~~ ~ nn `-~ <?~ ~ „ v MINUTES REGULAR MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES JANUARY 4, 1972 A regular meeting of the Board of Trustees for the Tawn of Vail was held pursuant to call and notice at the hour of 7:30 p, m, , Tuesday, the 4th day of January, 1972, in the Council Chambers of the Vail Municipal Offices . The following trustees, constituting a quorum, were present: Mayor John Dobson Trustee John Donovan Trustee Dr. Thomas Steinberg Trustee Dick Bailey Trustee Clay Freeman ~ ~. Also present at this meeting were: Terry Minger, Town Manager Larry Robinson, Town Attorney Mike Di Miceli, Police Chief Pete Burnett, Street Superintendent The meeting was called to order by Mayor Dobson. The first matter on the agenda was adoption of a Resolution by the Board creating a Town of Vail Library Fund , The trustees read this resolution, were palled as to whether they understood it, which they all did; the resolution was explained to the audience; Trustee Bailey motioned for adoption of this Resolution, Trustee Freeman seconded, and the Resolution was adopted by unanimous vote . An amendment to the dog ordinance was discussed , Mayor Dobson asked Mr. Burnett what problems he saw with the existing ordinance, which states that the dog must be in direct control of its master. Mr. Burnett said that the dog catcher was not able to determine whether the dog was in direct control, that the dogs were being tied up creating traffic and pedestrian problems plus attraction of other dogs, dog fights, etc. He also cited the garbage problem and the dog litter itself as reasons for tightening up the ordinance, Police Chief Di Miceli was asked what he felt were the problems, and he stated most of the same reasons that Mr, Burnett had presented as the worst problems, plus the fact that a lot of the dogs that were brought to work and tied in front of the employee's place of work were causing problems by having their lines cross in front of other stores, and generally being a nuisance. Mayor Dobson then asked the store owners of Vail if they felt there were a problem; if so, what was it? Mast of the shop owners felt there were not a problem in the Tawn, and that the dog catcher should concentrate on the problem dogs in the Town (those causing fights, running in packs, etc.) rather than implementing the leash law in the core. r,, Chris Moser of the Colorado Game Fish and Parks stated that there was a tremendous problem outside the core relating to dogs running in packs a ~ r ~ ,. and attacking wild life. He would like to set up a county-Wide ieash law, or at least some way of controlling dogs from running at large . Several have been shot, which he noted, is condoned by law if a dog is seen to be attacking wild life. The trustees then were polled as to whether they felt there were a problem. The consensus was that the existing dog ordinance should be more strictly enforced, the licensing of alt dogs should be enforced; and until such time as more people of the Town feel the dogs constitute a real problem, the existing dog ordinance will stay as is. The amendment creating a ieash law in the commercial cores was defeated . Furnishing "visiting dogs" with temporary licenses was also discussed and tabled. AN ORDINANCE FOR THE REGULATION OF TRAFFIC BY THE TOWN OF VAI L CO LORADO FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING A SYSTEM OF TRAFFIC REGU I~,TIONS CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW AND GENERALLY CONFORMING TO SIMI LAR REGU L.ATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND THE NATION; ADOPTING BY REFERENCE TFE 1971 EDITION OF THE "MODEL TRAFFIC CODE FOR COLORADO MUNICIPALITIES;" REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT THEREWITH; AND PRO- VIDING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION THEREOF, was read for the first time by the Board. Police Chief Di Miceli explained that there were hardly any changes in this ordinances from the 1970 edition. This ordinance will be read again and voted on at the meeting held February 1 , 1972 . Other matters brought up at the Town Meeting were: that the Town and the various districts should give consideration to prices for children's recreation programs, such as ice skating; that the shop owners would like to have the sales tax vendors' fees explained to them {Mayor Dobson suggested that the Board study this , then have a meeting at a later date); and that the grading around the Post Office and the Municipal Building was dangerous . (It was explained that this whole area is being worked on at present . ) There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:50 p. m. Town Cl ~~~~ nn • MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND PLANMNG COMMISSION JANUARY 17, 1972 Those present were: Board of "~frustees Mayor John Dobson Gerry White Tom Steinberg Clay Freeman Planning Commission Chairman Rod Slifer Dave Gorsuch Bob Clarke John Dobson Also: Larry Robinson The meeting convened at 4:15 p, m, Jim Cunningham, representing the Architectural Control Board, gave a presentation on the proposed expansion of the Lodge. Mr. Cunningham explained that although the developers are conforming to the Zoning Ordinance as regards building materials, floor area ratio and other zoning requirements, the Archi- tectural Control Board feels that the expansion would result in an over- development of the site. However, Mr. Cunningham expressed the opinion that the parking requirement might be utilized to curtail this expansion. He pointed out that they would need 227 parking spaces just for the condominiums and if the Forest Service granted them the on-street variance they desire, they would sti11 have only 197 spaces. r The Board and Planning Commission then discussed the ramifications of this project and it was pointed out that the past history of the Lodge in regards to its sale by Vail Associates might create some problems, However, Cdr. Steinberg pointed out that if the Town does intend to support the concept of an aesthetically pleasing community,. now should be the time to take a stand, even if it means going to court, There was unanimous agreement on this proposal. Mayor Dobson then showed the Board the blueprint for Peter Seibert Circle at Golden Peak, the Town's contribution to the 10th Anniversary honoring of Mr. Seibert. The cost of the project, exclusive of the metal statue, will be approximately $5,000,00. Walter Lawson of Charles Gathers Associates of Denver gave a slide presentation of French and Italian ski resorts, painting out the inno- vations that they have achieved in the field of mountain recreation; development.

MEETIl~G BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF VAI L FEBRUARY 1, 1972 A ar meetin of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vail was regul g convened at 7:45 p. m. , February 1, 1972, in the Council Room of the Vail Municipal Building . Mayor Jahn A . Dobson and the following trustees were present: C . P . Tod Anderson Richard Bailey John Donovan Clayton Freeman Dr . Thomas I . Steinberg Albert G . White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Larry Robinson, Town Attorney The meeting was called to order by the Mayor and the first order of business was the consideration of an ordinance initiating the Home Rule process. Terrell Minger, the Town Manager, explained the procedure for those not familiar with it. Mr. Minger noted that home rule can be initiated in one of two ways: either by petition of 5% of the citizenry or by an ordinance. Following this initial step, there is a progression of actions established by the State Municipal Home Rule Act of 1971 that must be followed, including the election of a Charter Commission, the writing of the Charter and the town vote an the Charter. it was acknowledged by Mr. Minger that a strict timetable has to be followed, but that if all goes well home rule could be achieved by the first part of August, which would make Vail the first city in Colorado to become a Home Ruie city under the new law. Bob Clarke asked what would be the advantage of home rule. Mr. Minger replied that the key advantage was flexibility. Some of the things which would be possible are: 1, the creation of new tax sources; 2 , the adoption of our own pension program; 3, the transference of funds between departments, if necessary; 4, the raising of the debt limitation; `T~ ` 5. the increasing of the Town Budget without the permission of the State ` Division of Local Government; 6, the establishment of our own time limitation far the repayment of bonds; 7. the creation of our own form and structure of government; 8. the determination of our own procedures for action. An additional advantage given by Mr. Minger was that in court, a home rule city is presumed to have the right to legislate its own concerns; an example of this would be the court's attitude if asked to determine the status of street closing . Following this explanation, Mayor Dobson asked if there were any other questions . He noted that the Board was already on record as favoring the proposal. The Board was polled and each Board member stated that he had read and understood the proposal. The vote was then taken an Ordinance No. l (Series of 1972}; its approval was unanimous. The next order of business presented by Mayor Dobson was the parking space recommendations of the Planning Commission. Bob Clarke explained that the commission was considering new parking requirements of: Sq. Ft. Spaces 0--600 i 601-1000 1 t/4 1001-1300 1 l/2 1300-above 2 These new requirements would be applicable in zones MF, HDMF, PA, CCI, CCII, CSC, HS. Mayor Dobson called for comments from the floor and a discussion fol- lowed, Bob Nott asked if more development was possible in CCI, to which the Mayor responded that there were rumors to that effect. Mr. Nott agreed that it was a good idea to provide for the possibility of re- development; however, he wondered what this did to the concept of keeping this area free of vehicles , It was suggested that to date this effort had failed. Mr. Nott suggested that some studies and surveys be made before attempting to solve the parking problem. The Mayor reminded everyone that it was necessary to move quickly on these recommendations . He suggested that Larry Robinson and Terry Minger proceed with an ordinance while continuing to cooperate with any studies being made. Sharon Brown questioned whether these figures applied only to new structures; also, whether they applied to additions, The Mayor replied that they applied only to new structures but that additions would have to conform. Hans Weibel wanted to know if rental agencies could fill up lodge parking lots; he said this was being done and that it caused congestion. The Mayor referred this question to the Town Attorney who was of the opinion that the matter did not come under the parking law but rather would require an amendment. The Mayor questioned if this could be done outside of CCI and CCII. Town Attorney Robinson granted it could be legally done outside these areas in some cases; the law does not delineate how parking spaces are to be used. Trustee Donovan sug- gested that the problem would take care of itself; if a business can rent many spaces and not turn away customers, then we have made a mistake in our calculations . Trustee White agreed with this position and added that it might be a mistake to be too specific on the matter of space-use. However, Trustee Steinberg felt that many owners did not care if their tenants had the use of the parking or not. The Mayor suggested that we be more specific that the spaces are to be available to customers. Trustee Anderson asked the dimensions of a space; the Town Manager stated that they were l0' x 20' , except indoor parking where they can be 9' because there is not a snow problem. Ted Kindel wanted to know if there ~couid be, under this proposal, expansion of restaurants but not apartments . The Mayor answered that this would be the effect in CCI only. This effect was being tolerated because it was felt that the desired use of CCI was different from the desired use of CCII. ~~'fVlayEar. ~Q:obson then requested that there be an ordinance to consider on this issue at the next n-e eti ng , The next order of business, the Model Traffic Code, was explained by Town Attorney Robinson who stated that the first reading had been held a month ago and that the only issue remaining was its approval . However , as some of the Board members had not read the Code, this matter was postponed until later in the meeting. In the matter of the final acceptance of the Municipal Building, Mr. Robinson informed the Board that we must publish a notice of our intent to make a final payment so that we can make sure everyone has been paid or at least exonerate ourselves of the responsibility. The tentative date for payment has been set as February 23. Stanley Bernstein, Director of Administrative Services, added that $10,000 remains to be paid on the building. During the -2 - discussion of what work remains to be done, the major question was the west access road to the complex . The Town Manager said it would have to be changed at the town's expanse as, even though it was an architectural error, our building department did not detect the error. Trustee Bailey asked how much should be retained to take care of any work remaining. Mr. Bernstein felt that at least $2,000 should be kept. Mr. Minger volunteered that he and the Town Attarney wouid meet with Mr. Carver, the architect, and ascertain what is to be done. The Mayor ended the discussion on this matter with the statement that the determination of the amount would be left with the staff and the date set as February 23. Merv Lapin then took the floor to being everyone up to date on what Eagle County Trash Removal is doing. They have purchased $135,000. worth of trucks and warehouse space. Dumping is now done every day in order to avoid fires. They also have been working toward maximum containerization. Another innovation is their computerized billing system. The rate at which to bill different types of establishments and residences has been a problem; unfortunately, they don't know exactly how to change the somewhat inequitable system now in operation. The only rate changes they anticipate in the future would be those charged to restaurants . Mr. Lapin then stated that he was anxious for plastic bags to be used. White their failure to decompose could be a point against them, in reality the dump is always burning, thereby eliminating this objection. This state- ment engendered a discussion of the poor maintenance of the dump by the county and possible actions the town could take in this regard. The Mayor suggested that Mr. Lapin frame a letter outlining what he would like the county to do. Mr, Lapin's final point was that he would like a franchise from the city. The Mayor suggested that he present a proposal and the Board would be glad to discuss it. Also, they should look into the problems just raised . The Town Attorney, Larry Robinson, reported on the sales tax vendors', fee issue. In reviewing the issue he Hated that when a vendor collects the state sales tax, he is allowed to keep 3 1/3% as a fee for his services as collector; however, the State Department of Revenue is of the opinion that a fee for collecting a local sales tax is presumed not to be allowed unless specifically provided for by ordinance. The ordinances of the Town of Vail do not so provide. However, as the town does not directly collect its tax, we were not aware until the State Auditors discovered it, that some retail firms in town were withholding a fee for the local taxes. The questions both from the floor and the Board revealed the extent of confusion existing on this matter. However, it was eventually established that the purpose of the amendment previously passed was not to retro- actively assess a new tax, but to clarify the intent not to allow a fee , Those who had assumed that as it was not specified they could be entitled to a fee were in error; therefore, they are now being asked by t he State to pay the funds previously withheld. The effect on the Town will be that they will receive revenues to which entitled that they had not received previously. It was brought up by Trustee Anderson that it was not the Town which had initiated the action in this case, but the State; therefore, perhaps the discussion should just be dropped . Ted Kindel asked the amount of money involved; the Town Manager estimated that it was $8,000 or $l0, 000. Trustee Andersen asked what action the Board was now being asked to take. The answers of the Town Manager and the Town Attorney were, in effect, that the action had already been taken in the clarifying amendment; that the State asked what was intended in the future and when the answer was "no fee" they took that as the past intent also. The only recourse for those who disagree wouid be to take the State to court. It was reiterated that this was not a matter of taking money earned but of paying over tax already collected. Thus, an unfair windfall to a small minority of retailers would be prevented. The discussion ended with the statement by the Mayor that it is foolish not to keep the matter at the State level; ail the Town can do is try to explain. -3- • u • e The Town Attorney then reported that the School District had signed the lease on the school room in the Municipal Complex. The Mayor asked for his recommendation in regard to this agreement. The only problem Mr. Robinson felt could be anticipated was that the School District might want to renew the lease next year while the Town had viewed the matter as temporary. The Board might want to consider this. Trustee Anderson asked if the Town charged for the use of the room, The Town Manager replied that the School District pays $l00 monthly; the room is available free of charge to other groups in town if composed of Vail taxpayers. After the Mayor inquired if anyone needed more information, Trustee Donovan moved to approve the agreement, Trustee White seconded and the motion was unanimously passed. The discussion then returned to the Model Traffic Code, Mr. Anderson wanted to know if the effect of the motorcycle portion was to prohibit these vehicles in the core of the village, The Police Chief replied that the situation would be basically the same as last summer; however, this code clarified the posting. Mr. Anderson had a further question regarding noise limitations to which the Police Chief replied that this adoption would not change the other parts of ordinances already in effect. After polling each member as to whether he had read and understood the Code, the Mayor called for a vote and the Code was unanimously accepted . The Town Manager, Mr. Minger, then took the floor to explain the pos- sibility of an affiliation with University of Colorado to establish the Vail Institute. Some possibilities for the Institute which have been discussed include asix-week program bringing students in urban design, architecture, community development and so forth to Vail, There also exists the pos- sibility of the University constructing a physical facility and of employing a full-time director at Vaii. He stressed that it was important that the University not be working on its awn, but instead be open to the active participation of the local citizens . The benefits to the Town could be those of a second industry and also of extra planning services, etc, However, it is important to remember that there are no committments or decisions made as yet . The Town Manager next reported on the possibility of attaining planning services to come up with a total design review package, a policy for growth and land development. Moreover, Nor. Minger stressed the necessity for compiling a philosophical document that would allow us to initiate actions rather than just react to events , Qther places are too big to do this but Vail could still do it successfully. We have our own people who can make large contributions to this; but we also need some expertise from outside planning firms. He added that this document needs to be done soon and although it would have no legal validity, it would have an impact on devel- opers . The Mayor reacted to this by saying it tied in with a proposed Vail Associates economic study of the impact of Vail on the county and state. The Mayor then suggested Mr. Minger pursue this idea and bring in some names and ideas of what services are available at a later meeting. Mr. Minger then reported on the progress of the Library. Despite some problems in furniture arrival and personnel, Mr. Minger felt that the library should be operational within the next month, He also noted that l , 500 to 2 , 000 books have been donated thus far , Mr. Donovan inquired into the status of the electrical study, The Town Manager reported that the members of the study group would like to make a proposal before the board . Mr . Donovan suggested this be put on the agenda for a later meeting . -4- .~ ~ ,` As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p, m. THE BOARD THEN CONVENED AS THE LOCAL LIQUOR LICENSING ~' AUTHORITY. Mr. Robinson, the Town Attorney, reported that the District Court has ordered the Authority to issue a license to Nottingham-Rumford Enter- prises . The condition should be put into the approval that the premises be completed in accordance with the architectural design. The Mayor inquired what action this required . The Town Attorney stated that some- one needed to make a motion that we ~ sign this decision. Dr . Steinberg made the motion and it was unanimously approved. As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:35 p. m. Town e ~~G i lh 1 t -5- • MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF VAI L FEBRUARY 8, 1972 A special meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vaii was formally convened at 2:~5 p. m. , February 8, 1972, in the Board Roam in the Town Offices . Mayor John A. Dobson and the following trustees were present: C. P. Tod Anderson Richard Bailey Dr. Thomas I. Steinberg Albert G . White `~~ u 1 • Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Larry Robinson, Town Attorney Andy Gerard, County Judge Tam Scott, Executive Director, Eagle Piney Association Michi Blake, Administrative Assistant, Eagle Piney Association While awaiting the arrival of Mr. Scott, Mr. Minger, the Town Manager, explained, in regard to the Manor Vail Corporation annexation, that Rio Grande only had an option on the property. If the question were not resolved by April 1, they would be withdrawing from the proposition. As Mr. Scott arrived at this juncture, this topic was postponed until later in the meeting . Mr. Scott began his presentation by stating that 1/4 of the monies of Eagle Piney came from private individuals donating to Trout, Unlimited. Since October 1, the Eagle Piney group has raised approximately $15,000. Trustee Bailey asked for arun-down of their efforts to date. Mr. Scott replied that 50% of their money had gone for salaries . Another $2 , 000 to $3, 000 has gone to Summit Films to keep them from bankruptcy. Their arrangement to sell their film has not worked out; eventually, Eagle Piney could be forced to assume the debt for this film of approximately $25,000. In addition, there are expenses for the mailings sent out by Eagle Piney. Michi Blake stated that they have spent $l , 500 for mailing thus far . Trustee Bailey asked with what groups and individuals they were meeting. Mostly conserva- tion groups in Denver and on the Western Slope was the reply. It was further acknowledged that these groups probably will not provide financial support. Mr. Scott went on to say that much of the support given was in the nature of assistance in the preparation of legislative action, particularly a constitutional amendment to be presented that would protect the water rights of the Western Slope. At this point, Judge Gerard arrived; the discussion with Eagle Piney was discontinued, to be taken up later in the meeting . Mayor Dobson opened the conversation by stating that the Board would like to discuss the possibility of moving the County Court from Minturn to Vail; they would like to have the Judge's estimate of the chances for this move. The Judge stated that this move could be made; the County Commissioners did not figure greatly in the decision on location; but, that the people of Minturn might protest. Earlier when the Court was moved, they had petitioned to have it return. However, the Judge felt that Vail was the place to have the court because the police and the Deputy District Attorney are here . He stressed that this move could not be accomplished overnight. Larry Robinsan, the Tawn Attorney, interjected that the judicial administrator for the courts was in our favor. He suggested that the Board make an appointment with this administrator for the Supreme Court. In the matter of the days the Court would sit in Vail, it was first ,~• determined that there were no fixed days in Eagle. Rather, the Judge was there mast of the time and tried to schedule things so they were convenient for the officers , Mr. Robinson suggested that if there were na conflict, Tuesday would be good for us as most of our difficulties arise over the week- end. The Judge affirmed that his schedule was easily changed; Monday afternoon or Tuesday afternoon would be fine for him. Mr. Robinson added the thought that conceivably, if the people of Minturn feel very strongly, Court could still be held there every other week. Further discussion brought out the points that there would be a fixed day every week for arraignments; that a trial, if necessary, would be held in Vail; and that the Judge would also be the Municipal Judge, There was some discussion of court procedures, the main point of interest being that, at present, the secretaries in the Police Office act as clerk of the court. The Judge asked if we could work his clerk into the Municipal Court if the County Court moved , That having a permanent and experienced clerk would add something to the system was acknowledged by Mr, Robinson. The Judge added that he had found it much too hard to operate without a clerk, In the matter of a room to be used, the library was suggested until school is over for the year, when the court can be moved to the actual court-~ room. Mr. Minger, the Town Manager, added that they were hoping the school could find another room for next year. Judge Gerard inquired if we • kept records of our Municipal Court; also, if we would find this necessary when we go Home Rule , Mr . Minger, recognizing that this would be neces- sary, sa~it3 we were fortunate in this regard as we now have a complete recording system far the Courtroom. Mayor Dobson suggested we discuss compensation. The Judge stated that he would ask $175,00 to $200.00 a month to come up here at least ahalf-- day aweek or more if it were necessary to accomplish the work, If we employed his clerk for the Municipal Court, that would cost another $25.00 to $35.00 a month. Of course, the option was still there for us to use a police clerk. However, the Mayor, Town Manager and Town Attorney were all of the opinion that it would be better to employ his clerk. The Mayor then inquired if the County would be expected to pay the Town rent for the room used. Judge Gerard informed the Board that they would have to if we decided to ask for rent for the time the room was used as County Court. Mayor Dobson then stated that the Board would have to discuss this option and also determine a method of allocating the time for County and Munici- pal Courts . Judge Gerard was asked when he could begin the Municipal Court duties. He responded that he could begin immediately. Mayor Dobson thanked the Judge for coming and stated that after the Board has made a decision, they will be in touch with him. After the Judge had left, Trustee Steinberg stated that the savings in time for the police and Town Attorney would make up the expense. Mayor Dobson noted that we had not discussed mileage . Trustee White suggested that we pay him l0 cents a mile or approximately $6.00 a trip. Trustee Anderson moved that we hire Judge Gerard at the salary outlined. Mayor Dobson indicated this would be $175.00 plus mileage, In regard to Francis Brofos, technically he would need to be reappointed following the election in April. Mr. Minger suggested the matter be put to him in the light that the situation is changing, Home Ruie will require more time of a judge, we would like to have the County Court here and consequently it makes sense for us to hire Judge Gerard as Municipal Judge. Trustee Anderson inquired to whom a judge was technically responsible. The Town Manager stated the responsi- bility was to the Board of Trustees . Although the Mayor was interested in finding out from the Police Chief exactly what the situation has been in regard to the Municipal Court, the Town Manager voiced the opinion that he would like the decision to come from the Board. Mayor Dobson then proposed they present the matter to Judge Brofos in the manner suggested by the Town --2- -„ .' ' Manager and also prepare an honorary for him. Trustee White seconded the motion made earlier. The effective date was decided to be March 1, if possible, as this would be both fair and give time for turning over records, etc. The Mayor put the motion to terminate Judge Brofos as of March l and hire Judge Gerard to a vote; its approval was unanimous. It was decided a resolution would be framed thanking Judge Brofos which would be presented at the next meeting . The Town Manager, Mr. Minger, then mentioned the fact that a landscaping group was here that he would like to hire. They had some slides and pictures to show the Board . Trustee White inquired what he would tike to have done . Mr. Minger said he would like to replace the playground with equipment both in better shape and more imaginative. He was also interested in landscaping around the pond and installing bicycle racks. In the past, we have basically done most of this work ourselves . This group would like to make a start in Colorado and so would be willing to give the Town a special rate. The Board agreed to see the slides after the meeting . Returning to the discussion of the Antholz situation with which the meeting began, the Town Manager stated that it was essential that the property be in the town before summer. Rio Grarde is nervous about the strip of property owned by Vail Associates and fear they will have no access to the village. They want a letter guaranteeing them access to the Town. The method by which this access would be guaranteed them is up to the • Bcard. If the case were extreme, we could condemn the land. Mr. Robinson, the Town Attorney, recalled that the type of bridge and access was a matter of dispute. There was some disagreement as to what had been the decision on this matter; however, Trustee Anderson suggested we specify pedestrian bridge at least at first and then we can compromise on this point if necessary. Mayor Dobson suggested we tell them that we will let them in somewhere but cannot specify how or where until the matter is approved by the Planning Commission and the Board of Trustees. Care will need to be exercised in this matter so as not to influence other annexa- tions. Mr. Minger emphasized that this did not change the requirement for them to agree to the seven points previously discussed with them. Trustee White suggested that we would need a road to this property for police and fire whether it were open or not. It was proposed by the Mayor that a letter be prepared; however, Mr. Minger preferred to call Mr. Tarter and inform him that if they met the restrictions they would be given access but there would be no guarantee as yet as to where. However, the frontage road alone would not be considered access. Mayor Dobson requested that a follow-up letter be sent in that case. This course of action was agreed to by the Board , Mr. Minger then provided the point of information that the Pulls property wants to annex to the Town and is going to go before the Planning Commis- sion. He plans no commercial development. It was also reported by Mr. Minger that he had met with George Thurston of Holy Cross Electric and that they would like to present their study to the Board of Trustees and Electric Study Committee. It was agreed to hear this report at the next public meeting, February l5, 1972. Mr. Minger provided some further information regarding the possible agree- ment with the University of Colorado. They will sponsor a Vail institute starting this summer; it will be an eight--week graduate level program with a full--time director. They will also cosponsor the symposium. It is pos- sible that they will be able to offer other courses after their second year of operation. Mr. Minger noted that his report was only informational; the University will be coming before a Board meeting in the near future. • . " ~: In regard to the propcs ed parking structure, Mr. Minger and Trustee Bailey wilt be meeting with George Beardsley and reporting back to the Board. Trustee Anderson asked how we would pay for the structure. The Town Manager replied that operating costs would be covered by charging to park. The rest would come out of the sales tax. Trustee Anderson objected to using too large a portion of sales tax revenues to build the structure; he requested some estimates on this matter which the Town Manager agreed to bring before the Board. An additional point of information was that the State is going to pay up to $21,000 for afull-time county planner for Eagle County. Trustee White asked if the Board was going to meet with the County Commissioners. The Town Manager agreed this was a good idea. The order of business returned to the proposed Eagle Piney donation. It was agreed to give them $1,000 a month for five months and to specify that it should be used for the secretary's salary or some comparable item. Mr. Scott returned to the meeting and was informed of this decision. Trustee Steinberg requested, in connection with the contribution from the Town, that they receive a monthly voucher for paying secretarial expense. Mr. Scott agreed to provide this and also asked if the Board were getting enough information from them. Mr. Minger stated that he had all of the back-up information if it were needed, As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:15. . ~~ Town le k 1h • -4- .~ . -~ MINUTES REGULAR MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF VAI L • FEBRUARY i5, 1972 A regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vaii was convened at 7:45 p. m. , February 15, 1972, in the Council Roam of the Vail Municipal Building . Mayor John A . Dobson and the following trustees were present: C. P. Tod Anderson Richard Bailey John Donovan Dr. Thomas I. Steinberg Albert G . White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Larry Robinson, Town Attorney Dan Schler, Director of Urban Studies, University of Colorado Denver Center George Thurston, Manager, Holy Cross Electric The meeting was opened by Mayor Dobson, and after a brief introduction by Mr, Minger, Mr. Schler began a presentation regarding Vail Institute, its proposed goats and organization. A central theme of this presentation was that the relationship with the community was hoped to be a cooperative one. In terms of organization, the program will be administered by the Center for Urban Affairs of Colorado University. Gene Kaprowski, who will serve as director of the Vaii Institute, was introduced and spoke briefly, Jim Lamont added that this summer there would probably be about i50 students. At the end of the 8-week course, a specialist degree will be awarded. Mr. Nuzum, another member of this group, made the sugges- tion that, as there is no history of Vail as a new town or of how it evolved from Vail Associates, this would be an area their students could study. The Mayor added to the foregoing that the group would be housed and hold most of their sessions in the Lion's Head area. Also, this institute does not involve a financial involvement of the Town. One question asked of the . group was whether they would be involved in specific problems of the Town. The general response was that such interest on the part of students is likely. The Mayor then introduced George Thurston of Holy Crass Electric who prefaced his group's remarks with an explanation of the delay in presenting a franchise proposal. Mr. Parkinson, the attorney far the group, stated that two important aspects of any franchise agreement were the franchise tax and the length of time of the agreement. An exception to the latter was that at the end of ten years and every five years thereafter, the Town does have the legal privilege of ending the agreement. An additional item of inter- est in Vail is the provision of underground equipment. Mr. Parkinson then stated that Holy Crass Electric would like a l5-year agreement. In reg~.rd to the franchise tax, the Public Utilities Commission has set a pattern of not allowing more than a 3% tax; due to unique factors in this case and if both the Town and the company would agree to it, the PUC might be willing to allow 5% or mare . Holy Cross was also wilting to agree to put all existing above-ground equipment underground within 1972 if an agreement was soon reached, in the matter of extension of the lines, if the area served had tittle density, these sines would be aboveground; a formula would be worked out that would require Holy Cross to put these lines underground when a certain density level was reached . 1 • • r~ ~J 5 Mayor Dobson asked what basic power sources they were now using and when other sources would be available, The new source their wholesale supplier is trying to develop is the Hayden Plant. There has been some controversy over the location and environmental effect of this plant, but Mr. Thurston felt that it should be ready at least by the summer of 1973. After this new facility is completed, the old source would still be retained. Mayor Dobson inquired whether the franchise agreement would mention the dates for completion of the new source. Mr. Thurston felt they would not be adverse to it if they could get a guarantee from their wholesale. supplier, An additional topic of interest was whether the franchise agree- ment could require that areas outside of Vail bury their lines . The legal opinion given was that this could not be written into the franchise between Vail and Holy Cross. Trustee Anderson asked what was the formula to determine when the lines were to be buried. This is a matter that would be determined in further meetings with the Electric Study Committee. Trustee Donovan asked why they wanted a l5-year contract when the Town could revoke it after ZO years . The reasoning is that after IO years it would still require a positive step for the Town to take this action. Mr. Hills of the Vail Trail suggested that it would seem to be a wise step to begin putting wires underground in advance of growth in some areas. The Public Utilities Commission would probably frown on such action on the basis of its requirement that there be as equitable an apportionment of costs among all members as possible. The costs of going underground in areas of little population would be borne by users in other areas , Mr. Clark asked who paid the franchise tax. This is ultimately borne by the consumer and paid out of the general operating budget of Holy Cross. The Town could, if it so desired, impose a surcharge on utility bills. Trustee Steinberg inquired what percentage of sales in Eagle County come from the Gore Valley; this figure is roughly 70%. He then asked if the franchise were granted would it be possible to have another service person in Vail. It appeared this request could be accommodated . The Board was then provided with the information that it would cost approximately $200,000, to place underground the wires that had not yet been done in Vail. Mayor Dobson then asked if the Board wanted the matter, as presented to the meeting, considered by the Electric Study Commission; there was unanimous agree- ment an this course of action. The proposal should be submitted in writing. Further suggestions were made that this group be given an idea of the amount that would be generated by the 5% tax and that they could consider the ques- tion of whether a surcharge should be imposed by the Town. The next item of business was a proposed ordinance amending Ordinance No. 7 (Series of 1969), Article III, Section 3 (a) as follows: (a) The minimum number of qff-street spaces required of every new or substantially reconstructed building shall be as follows; ZONE Residential District Multi-family District High Density Multi-family District Public Accommodations District Commercial Core District Commercial Core II°District Commercial Service Center District Heavy Service District PARKING REQUIREMENT 2 spaces pen dwelling unit l-1/2 spaces per dwelling unit Floor Area: O to 600 sq, ft. 601 to 1000 sq , ft . 1001 to 1300 sq , ft . 1301 and more sq , ft . i space l-1/4 spaces 1-1/2 spaces 2 spaces -2 - The Mayor commented that although we are going to do a study of parking problems, it was felt a firm answer was needed at this time for those with building projects pending. Mr. Robinson noted that as this proposal was an amendment, we would need to publish notice of its proposal before it could be formally adapted. Mayor Dobson asked for a motion to the effect that this be published; Trustee White made this motion; Trustee Anderson seconded and the motion was unanimously passed. The minutes from past regular and special meetings held on July l2, 1971; September 7, 1971; September i5, 1971; October i2, 1971; November 2, 1971; November 23, 1971; December 1, 1971; December 7, 1971, December 2l, 1971; January 3, 1972; January 4, 1972; February 1, 1972; and February 8, 1972; had been previously sent to the Trustees. The Trustees, having read these minutes, made one correction; Trustee Bailey was present at the September 7 meeting, although not listed in the minutes as sent. Trustee Anderson made the motion that these minutes be approved as corrected; Trustee Bailey seconded; passage was unanimous. Trustee Bailey moved that the Voucher Lists from September, 1971, to January, 1972, inclusive, having been previously sent to the Trustees and read by them, be approved as prepared. This motion was unanimously passed. Mr . Elias then brought before the Board the fact that some citizens have been meeting to discuss a common problem of people parking on private property. The question was to what extent the Town can be of service to them in solving this problem. Mayor Dobson suggested they meet with the Board and the Town Administrat ion at some later date to discuss this. Mr. Elias agreed and said his group would work through the Town Manager. As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:25 p, m. ~' ~ ~ r~°I To~erk / lh • -3-- C, ~ ~ '++w MINUTES JOINT MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF NAIL AND E30ARb OF DIRECTORS/NAIL METR~POLTTAN RECREATIQN DISTRICT MARCH 7, 1972 A joint meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vail and the Board of Directors of the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District was convened at 7:~5 p. m., March 7, 1972, in the Council Room of the Vail .Municipal Building. Mayor John A . Dobson and the following Trustees were present: C. P. Tod Anderson Richard Bailey John Donovan Clayton Frees~ian Dr. Thomas I , Steinberg Gerry White Chairman Rod Slifer and the following Recreation District Directors were present; Francis Brofas C. .E, .Ted Kindel Jerry Muth Gerry White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Lawrence Robinson, Town Attorney Bob Clark, Planning Commission Member Mr. Slifer opened the meeting with the announcement that Mr. Bill Wright has been selected as tennis pro for the forthcoming season. He then turned to the topic of the proposed 1972 rates for golf and tennis. Important points to be noted were: 1 , the season pass rate for property taxpayers will be lower than the regular rate; 2. the golf rates reflect a 20% increase over last year, the tennis rates will remain virtually the same; 3. the pro must screen any child- ren who want to play golf, It was pointed out that in order to qualify for the taxpayer rate it is not necessary to live in Vail, only to pay property taxes, Director White made the motion this schedule be adopted.; Director Kindel seconded the motion and passage was unanimous, As there was na further business, the Recreation Board meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.~m~ Mayor Dobson opened the Board of Trustees meeting with a request for Mr. Slifer, as Chairman of the Planning Commission, to sum up the discussions they have had with the representatives of the Antholz property (Leaven-Marion Vail, Manor Vail Plan). Chairman Slifer explained- that the changes between the plan they are currently proposing and- an earlier plan include: 1 . a decrease in the area zoned HS; 2, a decrease in the area zoned CCII; 3. the addition of an agricultural zone; and 4, a restudy of the Vail Valley Drive area. In this form, the Planning Commission recommends the plan. lVth, Knox of the Vail Trail asked what solution had been reached to the problem of the proposed bridge over Gore Creek. Chairman Slifer replied that it was .proposed to be an over- sized single-lane, one-way vehicular bridge with a separate pedestrian walk-way. It would be automatically converted to pedestrian-only after five years from the annexation; after three years, with the consent of the developers; or automatically after 400 units (2 hotel rooms equal one unit) have been sold. In addition, na service vehicles would be allowed at any time to use the bridge, In terms of the construction of the bridge, its design would be subject to approval by the Town. Mr. Lang maid inquired whether the road behind the existing Manor Vail is public or private. Mr. Minger indicated that it has been dedicated to the Town of Vail by Vail Associates but that the Town has not yet signed the agreement. Vail Associates has retained afive--foot strip but no problems are here anticipated. Vail Associates is concerned., however, with the direction of the traffic. Mr.. \ ~~ ~. t Kindel inquired if the developer has agreed to work with the Planning Com- mission on the direction of.traffic; also, if the Police anc~ Fire Departments had indicated their preference in the matter. Mr. Slifer indicated that the discussions had not yet progressed that far. It was indicated that this was only a preliminary hearing. A petition will be filed for annexation along with the proper documents and public notice given of the proposed annexation. Then, at the meeting on March 21 , the proposal will be given formal consideration and a vote taken. Chairman Slifer mentioned that there is a parcel of property to the west of the Antholz property that will probably annex at the same time. He indicated that Leaveli--Manor Vail is thinking about 700 units, or about 3,000 people. Mr. Amato, representing this property contributed that as the northern bound- ary is the service road and there is also a loop road these will together handle most of the traffic. It was asked why the road through Manor Vail was neces- sary at all. The essence of the response given by both Chairman Slifer and Mr. Amato was that ~it would be too much of a disadvantage to try to begin a development of this size without direct access to the Town. The beginning period would also be the time when the traffic volume would be the lowest. Chairman Slifer indicated they had Looked at other possible locations for the bridge but none were feasible . Mayor Dobson asked Mr. Amato if he agreed with the outline of meetings given. He indicated his agreement and also that they would prefer that the road run from west to east. Mr. Amato was also asked if they planned any building for the summer. He said they would do some; either in the HDMF" along the north side of the creek or in the PA or HDMF above CCII. A representative of Manor Vail stated that they would ask for certain reimburse- ments and improvements to be built after the bridge was installed and the street realigned . He wanted to know who would be responsible for payment in that case . The Mayor responded that necessary road improvements would seem to be the responsibility of the Town. Mr. Amato contributed that they considered any ex- penses for connection or realignment with the existing road to be the developer's expense. Perhaps this should be covered in the annexation agreement. Mayor Dobson concluded this discussion with the statement that they would like to have any objections as soon, as possible and preferably on paper. The next item of business was the consideration of a rezoning proposal for -Lots G, H, I, Second Filing Vail Village. Mr. Clark conducted this discussion. The proposal is to change PA to HDMF or MF. Mr. Donovan indicated that the . opinion of the Planning Commission is divided on this issue. The area is sur- rounded on three sides by PA zoning. He suggested that offices would be allowed above the Bank with the present zoning rather than condominiums. A represen- tative of the Bank noted that they were proposing condominiums in order to defray some of the expenses and that these units would be closely held in order to be available for future Bank expansion. Trustee Donovan noted that they could achieve the same thing if they built offices . It was indicated that they would build this summer if approval were granted. Mayor Dobson asked Mr. Clark to explain the second proposed building for these Lots. It would be pure condominiums, not more than three stories high. The area backs up on MF zoning, and with the Bank built on the front of the parcel, it would not have street access. Mr. Engelke, the architect for the proposed project, explained that they would construct a unit designed in such a manner that the bedrooms could be rented. The building would be administered from the Sitzmark. The construction, if allowed, would begin a year from this summer. Mayor Dobson restated the issue as one of the basic desires of the . community. The original intent was to encourage lodge use- in the central areas of the village. The question now is if that is still the desired usage. He empha- sized that the question is one of use, not form of ownership. If the bedrooms to be rented could be guaranteed in their use as lodge rooms, there would be no problem. Trustee Donovan made the suggestion that an alternative use could be a professional area. A decision will be reached at some future date. --2 - :. , } =;i° The next matter of business was the amendment to the parking ordinance pre- viously published, Ordinance No. 3 (Series of 1970. As there was no further discussion, the Trustees were polled as to whether they had read and under-~ stood the ordinance. Each of them stated that he had. A vote was taken and the ordinance unanimously passed, Mayor Dobson opened the question of a house numbering system in Vail.. Suc>7 a system could be of great help to the Police and Fire Departments. It would not be necessary to list the numbers in the phone book. Mr. Lang maid com- mented that the Fire Chief has already divides! the town for this purpose, The Police Chief contributed that they have already devised a system for the use of their Department , Mr . Minger , the Town Manager, suggested that an ordinance would be required to affect the system. It would probably consist of a stake between the building and the road, rather than a number on the building . From the comments made, it appeared that this would be beneficial to -many people . The Mayor asked George Knox of the Vail Trail to run an article in the paper and see if there is any response . A list of potential judges, clerks and ~:Iternates for the April 4 election had .been submitted to the Trustees . Mr. Donovan moved this list be accepted; Mr, Steinberg seconded and the motion was unanimously passed. The reports of the Town Manager were the next order of !easiness, He first proposed that a date be set for the open house for the Municipal Building, Library and Fire Station. After some discussion this was set for Monday evening, March 20, From 7:30 to 9:30 p, m. A member of the audience inquired who owned the alley between the Rucksack and the Red Lion. There was some speculation that it was Vail Associates with easements given to the adjoining property owners . The Mayor asked the Town Attorney to determine the ownership, The Town Manager next suggested that they acknowledge receipt of a letter from Holy Cross Electric outlining their proposed franchise but that no meeting be scheduled until after the election.. This course of action was agreed upon. Mr. Minger had brought with him the landscaping plan for the Municipal Building, We will do most of the work ourselves and the I='ost Office will hopefully pay for its portion of the work. In the matter of a street name change for Wall Street, it was suggested that the people who object to the current name suggest possible other names . The Town Manager then reported on a study made of the parking situation in Vail. We would need an additional 755 spaces if every building in the Commercial Core met the parking requirement, A full report on this mat- ter will be presented in about 10 days. Mr, Knox stated that it was his under- standing that construction was to begin on the lot where the Bus Terminal cur- rently stands . The Town Manager confirmed this report and indicated that they have begun to look for an alternative location, Trustee Steinberg suggested that a study be n-iade of the feasibility of curb-side pick-up of trash, A1sa, that it be considered whether a bag, either plastic or paper, be required. As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p, m. _ ~ Tow CI r lh u -3 _ r r 1 ~J MINUTES JOINT MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF' THE TOWN OF VAI L AND THE VAIL PINNING COMMISSION MARCH l3, 1972 A joint meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Tawn of Vail and the Vail Planning Commission was convened at 2:15 p. m. , March l3, 1972, in the Conference Roam of the Vail Municipal Building. Mayor John A. Dobson and the following members of the Board of Trustees were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan Dr. Thomas I. Steinberg Gerry White .~ Chairman Rod Slifer and the following members of the Planning Commission were present: John A . Dobson John Donovan Also present was: Larry Robinson, Town Attorney A discussion was held regarding the proposed re~-zoning of Lots G, H, and I, second filing, Vail Village . The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that the zoning be changed from PA to MF. This would allow a density of .7v to i. It would require that the Bank apply for a conditional use permit, since banking is not a use by right. Public notice will be given as soon as possible and the matter will be brought up for Board of Trustees approval as soon as possible. As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 3:15 p. m. To ~Cl' k /~ ,t lh • MINUTES SPECIA L MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF VAI L MARCH 20, 1972 A special meeting of the Board of Trustees with the Board of Directors of the Vail Resort Association was convened at 2;15 p, m. , March 20, 1972, in the Conference Room of the Vail Municipal Building,. Mayor John A. Dobson and the following Trustees were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan Clay Freeman Also present were: Dr. Thomas Steinberg Gerry White Terrell Minger, Town Manager Charles Gersbach, President of the VRA Dale McCall, Executive Director of the VRA Members of the Board of Directors of the VRA Mr. Gersbach noted that the meeting had been rEquested far informational purposes; as a beginning, it was felt his ,group needed information on the possible parking structure, conference center and transportation terminal. Mr. McCall added that it seemed feasible that all three could be done together; also, that it was his understanding that some preliminary work had been done. Mr. Minger stated that a committee., composed of Trustee Bailey representing the Board of Trustees, various architects and engineers, and himself had been formed. This group is preparing a feasibility study. The mast difficult variable to define is the need for parking spaces . Either too few or too many spaces would .create problems. They are frying to write the report in such a way that its validity does not stand or fall on the correctness of any one piece of information. They are looking at alternate sites, especially in terms of their cost and distance. They must allow for the possibility of interceptor lots further down the valley in the future and also for the possibility of a mass transit system, In terms of cost, the projection is for about $2,000 a parking space. A final portion of the study looks at possible projects that could be done in conjunction with the parking, structure. The least expensive of these, and the most logical, would be a transportation terminal. It might also be possible to have a facility i'or selling lift tickets in the structure. In terms of tinning, a portion of the facility could be constructed by October if we move quickly, In determining who should pay for the facility, it appears that it wi11 be impossible for the parking to be free of charge. A fee of $1 .50 to $2.00 a day would cover 1/2 of the debt service and the operating and maintenance costs. The rest of the debt service would have to come out of tax monies. Vail Associates could make an arrangement for day-skier parking. In regard to a conven- tion center, the first question ~is whether the Town desires such a facility. Questions from the group brought out the points that; 1 . it appears that 1 , 200 spaces can be justified as the proper number if there are no additions to the lifts and no increase in core densities; 2 , Vail Associates owns the current parking lot but the Town has along-term lease on the property. If the new structure were built on the site, the Town would need to own it in fee simple, If the Forest Service requirement is for free parking, Vail Associates could have spaces in a new structure, but they would have to pay for them in some manner; on open-ticket basis, for example. A representative of Vail Associ- ates noted that some sort of adjustment would have to be made; perhaps if they sold the land to the Town, the responsibility for parking provision would be transferred, An additional point of note was that in order to accomplish any construction this summer, a complete decision would need to be reached by the end of May, A fourth point was that the actual issue of whether to .. build the structure would not be on the ballot, but the bonds to be sold would be on the ballot and provide an indirect public vote on the core issue . Approximately 50% of the cost would be funded through bond issues . The payments and debt service on these bonds would not cause a hardship to the Town (requiring approximately 25% of sales tax revenue . a year) unless the Town undertook other major projects . It was suggested that perhaps a larger transportation system would be of more benefit to the entire town; however, the main direction of thought seemed to be that the need for a parking structure could not be alleviated by such a system. Mr. McCall returned the discussion to the idea of a convention center. It was his hope that the possibility of its combination with the parking .. structure project would not be lost. Mr. Minger acknowledged that its inclusion might be logical; however, ~in economic terms, both projects could not be undertaken at once. The undertaking could be perhaps done in stages over a period of time. As a point of inforr-nation, Mr. Minger noted that the Town is considering applying to the Department of Transportation for a grant to develop a mode of transporting people from intercept lots to the center of Town. Also, as the Bus Depot is going to be required to move from its present location, a tentative new site has been selected at the east end of the parcel where the Municipal Complex is located . Mr. Gersbach then turned the discussion to three additional items of interest to them; the Vail Institute, the development of additional recrea- tional facilities and the regional economic impact study of Vaii. In regard to the Vail Institute, Mr. Minger indicated that his article in the March 17 Vail Trail covered most of the areas the University of Colorado has indicated an interest in. If the community felt other areas should be treated, it is likely they would be amenable to suggestions. The Vail Symposium will probably be keynoted by Stuart Udall. Tentatively, its focus will be on land-use philosophy and water issues . The lristitute will run for eight weeks beginning the last week in June; the Symposium will be the first week in August. The economic impact study has not yet been started . A representative from Vail Associates contributed that everyone is looking for the proper vehicle to conduct the study. It has been suggested that a Regional Planning Com- mission could fulfill this role. Mr. Minger added that this would be a group. • not to supersede the County but to focus exclusively as an advisory group on particular problem areas. In regard to summer activities, Mr. McCall suggested that a horse .opera-- tion, atrap and skeet shooting facility, a rod and gun club and an outdoor amphithea'.ter far meetings (rather than theatrical productions) are all desir- able. His group is encouraging programs in hiking, back-packing, etc. But, for other things, they will need some help. One suggestion has been for hiking trails around the Village. Gerry White, who is also a member of the Recreation District Board, contributed that they are going to stock Gore Creek this summer. He suggested that the VRA do some groundwork on the projects that have been suggested . On the matter of horses , the cooperation of Vail Associates would be needed as they have the Forest Service permit on possible grazing areas. The topic of the type of information service needed was then brought up. The Rotary Club is trying to put up an informational sign, but that could not take the place of a staffed center. The representatives of the VRA indicated that they had considered moving both the administrative and informational functions into the same facility; perhaps this could be accom- plished in conjunction with a convention center/parking structure. There was some disagreement with this plan; the suggestion `was that they con- tinue to use the present site only with better staffing. This person could -2-- ~,,, .. .~ .~ perhaps do secretarial work either for the Town or the VRA while manning the center . Mr . Gersbach suggested that Mr . McCall and Mr. Minger discuss making use of the present facility. Some final points were: 1 . the Town will be redoing the play lot this summer, as well as the parking structure if it is decided upon; 2 , the Town is concerned about the general problem of pedestrian traffic and has been building pedestrian lanes when streets are widened . As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at ~:00 p. m.

Dobson and the following Trustees were present: C. P. Tad Anderson Richard Bailey John Donavan Dr . Thomas I . Steinberg Gerry White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Lawrence Robinson, Town Attorney The meeting began with a report on the winter's skating program by . Jahn Carmody, the skating pro. The revenues have increased by 12a% over the 1971 season. Programs conducted have included: 1 . a ladies' morning every Tuesday; 2, braomball games; 3. the skating school for children which includes both figure skating and speed skating training and competition; 4. a junior hockey program, equipment for which has been provided by the Town; 5. a senior hockey group which meets each Sunday morning. Mr. Carmody had three prappsals for improvements next year: 1 , there could be additional lighting; 2, there could be a bigger rink; 3, they need more cover for protection from the sun. It was his hope that some day Vaii could have permanent, year- round facilities. Walter Bush, President of the Minnesota North Stars hockey team, addressed himself to the possibility of combining .skating facilities with a convention center and .made the suggestion that in the event a study were conducted, consultations should be made with groups. from his area experienced in the construction of ice-skating facilities . The next item of business was the consideration of the possible annexation of the Antholz-Manor Vail property to the Town of Vail. Mr. Minger read,. for public information, the supplemental agreement which would be signed along with the annexation agreement, if approved. One point on which clarification was needed was the location of the 2.5 acres within the area zoned A that will remain with the developer. This is the area behind Build- ing E of the current Manor Vail. There was a further question in regard to the bus traffic which was proposed to be continued after the bridge was converted to pedestrian-only. The Mayor contributed that there would be agate at either end to insure that only buses were allowed and also to regulate these buses . The conversion to pedestrian-only on the part of the Town would be optional; otherwise, the present Board would be tying the hands of a future Board . Mr. Slifer, as Chairman of the Planning Com- mission, gave the recommendation of this group to the. proposal. It is important to annex this area as otherwise the Town has no control over the development, There were some questions as to the ability of the core area to handle the traffic and also as to the ability of the present force to adequate- ly police the area. The Mayor indicated that it is not expected to be a major thoroughfare. In-regard to the many questions of the necessity of any vehicu- lar bridge, Mr. ~ mates representing Manor Vail Co. reiterated that they felt it necessary to insure the financial success of the development. They had reached the conclusion that if they were not allowed to have; the bridge, they would not annex and would sell .the property. ~ ~ ' Mr. Slifer, in response to a question ,regardi'ng possible county zoning con= trot, stated that this is only in the idea stage and the time lag before its • • implementation, if accomplished, would allow a developer to build to as high a density as he wanted in the area. Also, any idea that a Town has controls in a cohtiguous area .i:s erroneous. An area surrounded by a Town can be unilaterally annexed, but that requires atime-span of three years. A point of infors~nation is that Manor Vail Co, is the land developer and has never intended to build every building. Mr. Minger added to the discussion of possible county zoning that it would be at least a year away and, even if implemented, would not be of a detailed nature to fit the needs of the Town. The County also does not have building, sign, density con- trols, etc. They likewise are not in a position to provide the water, san- itation or fire services. It is a Town policy to annex to ail of the special districts at the time of annexation to the Town. The Mayor added., in response to a question, that the Town is considering the entire question of pedestrian traffic and the new needs in the area under consideration, if the annexation were effected, would receive this same attention. It was inquired if an engineering study had been made of the bridge. A representative of Manor Vaii Co. indicated that they anticipated that the bridge would cost $70,000; $40,000 of which would be for the structural aspects and the remainder for the architectural design. The bridge would be fifty feet long . They intend to keep the drainage pattern undisturbed; if it were disturbed, they would correct it. There was some concern as to the number of trees that would be removed. Trustee Donovan contributed that every tree removed must be replaced. Mr. Amato added that the trees enhance the value of the property; Logically, they will save as many as pos- sible. Mr. Gersbach of Manor Vail Co. also indicated that they were going to attempt replantings . Mr. Amato, in defense of their proposal, contributed. that Vail Associates had originally planned the road and that it was shown in the documents relating to the sale of the present Manor Vail units.. Several individuals expressed the opinion that the bridge was undesirable as they had come to Vail to escape traffic. Mr. Gersbach suggested that they look at the time- frame. The bridge would only be open to vehicles in the early years of the development when the traffic would be the least. Also, it was clarified that the direction of the one-way bridge had not yet been determined. Although this decision rests with the Trustees and the developers, the Mayor indicated there could be a public rre eting . Additional informational points were that public parking will be provided under the zoning requirements for CCII; that an alternate site for the bridge was not feasible due to the amount of land that would be lost and the greater costs involved. As there were no further comments , a brief recess was called at 9:20. The meeting reconvened at 9:30. Trustee Donovan moved that ORDINANCE NO. 4 (Series of 1972}, AN ORDINANCE ANNEXING TO THE TOWN OF VAI L CERTAIN TERRITORY SITUATED IN THE NORTHEAST QUARTER OF' SECTION 8, TOWNSHIP 5 SOUTH, RANGE 80 WEST OF' THE 6TH PRIN- CIPALMERiD~I,oIV, COUNTY OF EAGLE, STATE OF COLORADO;.AND SETTING FORTH DETAILS i N RELATION THERETO , be adopted . Trustee Anderson seconded the motion. Trustee Steinberg stated that in the nine. months the Board has been working on this annexation they have changed a great many things from the original plan submitted, a fact that is being over- looked. He would prefer that the bridge were not built, but would accept it rather than lose the entire thing . The Trustees were polled as to whether they had read and understood the ordinance; each stated that he had. The Vote. was taken and passage was unanimous . A motion was made that the Board accept the supplementary agreement as an appendix to the ordinance. Passage of this motion was unanimous: The next matter to be considered was a proposal to annex to the Town the property known as the Pulls property. , Mr. Slifer indicated that the Planning Commission finds the proposal a feasible master plan and recommends it to the Board for passage. Trustee Bailey :inquired if the golf course parking .F -2 - x~ • • ,~ ; that will be lost can be recovered. Trustee Donovan indicated that a land trade had been discussed for the future. Mr. Minger indicated that the areas mooned A will be dedicated to the Town of Vail over a three year period. As there were no further comments or questions, Trustee Donovan moved they adopt ORDINANCE NO. 5 (Series of 1972), AN ORDINANCE ANNEXING TO THE TOWN OF VAIL CERTAIN TER- RITORY SITUATED IN THE NORTH HALF OF THE NORTH HALF OF' SECTION 9, AND PART OF THE NORTHWEST QUARTER OF SECTION 10, TOWNSHIP 5 SOUTH, RANGE 80 WEST OF THE 6TH PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, COUNTY OF EAGLE, STATE OF COLORADO; AND SET- TING FORTH DETAILS IN RELATION THERETQ. Trustee Steinberg seconded the motion. The Trustees were polled as to whether they had read and understood the ordinance; each responded that he had. A vote was taken and passage was unanimous. The next matter of business was the appointment of judges and clerks far the Home Rule election on April 18. The following list had been prepared: Judges: Heather Slifer Mauri Nottingham Bob Clark Clerks: Lois Bernstein Marge Almond Alternate Judges: John Gray Virginia Crowley Nancy Kindel Alternate Clerks: Marvel Barnes Mary Susan McLaughlin Trustee Bailey moved that this list be accepted; passage was unanimous, The minutes of the February 15 and March 7 meetings had been previously sent to the Trustees . Trustee Donovan moved they be approved; Trustee White seconded; passage was unanimous. Trustee Donovan moved they approve ORDINANCE NO. 6 (Series of 1.972), A SUPPLEMENTAL ORDINANCE AUTHORISING THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS BY THE TOWN OF VAI L IN EXCESS OF THE TOWN BUDGET FOR 1972, AND DECLARING AND DEFINING THE EMERGENCY OF SUCH APPROPRIATION. Trustee White seconded. Passage was unanimous. As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:50 p. m.

Mayor John A . Dobson and the following trustees wire present: Richard Bailey John Donovan Thomas Steinberg Gerry White Also present were; Terrell Minger, Town Manager Stanley Bernstein, Finance Director Sharon Hobart, Administrative Assistant Rod Slifer, Chairman, Vail Planning Commission Gage Davis, Planner George Beardsley, Planner Manny Neff, Planner James Ream, Architect Richard Roti, Traffic Design Consultant Charles Keyes, Structural Engineer The meeting began with a presentation by Mr. Davis and Mr. Neff of their initial findings and recommendations on the parking structure. Basically, their report advised the passibility of a "staged" plan whereby parking areas located in different areas of the Town be con- structed over a 5-year period. Moreover, they recommended that the parking structure itself be built aver a period of time with the initial capacity being somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 cars, with capability of expansion to 1 ,200r James Ream gave a slide presentation of some af, his previous designs and works. He followed this with a presentation of some preliminary designs for Vail's parking structure . A discussion followed ccncerning the time element necessary for having the structure completed by Thanksgiving . It was agreed that planning must begin now in order to complete the job. Mr. Ream pointed out that they would need some type of temporary monetary commitment as Mr. Roti's work would all be done in these initial stages and the money would pay for all his input. Mayor Dobson made a motion that the Board :~.uthorize $'15, 000.00 payment to initiate this planning but this would be discontinued if the newly elected Board so desired . The motion was seconded and unanimously passed. As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:15 p, m. Tow C 1 r ~~ lh F ~~ :.,_ .~ .. -/ Ml NUTS JOINT MEETING VAI L PLANNING COMMISSION AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE TOWN OF VAIL APRIL 13, 1972 A joint meeting of the Planning Commission and Board of Trustees .was convened at 2:10 p. m. , April 13, 1972, in the Conference Room of the Vail Municipal Building. Chairman Rod Slifer and the following members of the Planning Commission were present: Robert Clark John Dobson John Donovan Dave Gorsuch Mayor John A . Dobson and the following Trustees were present: John Donovan Joseph I-angmaid C. E . Ted Kindel Josef 5taufer Gerry Whit Terrell J. Minger, Town Manager, was also present. Chairman Slifer indicated that the first order of business was a presentation of the Vail Associates' plan for annexation and zoning of the Booth Creek area. Mr. Nott of Vail Associates clarified that this property can only be annexed after the area known as the 11th Filing is annexed. Their preliminary plan is to request that the area be zoned single-family residential and multi-family with a FAR not to exceed .4 to 1 . Several maps which had been prepared were explained to the Commission and Board . Some of the points of information were: 1 , the 57 single-family sites will be 1/3 to 1J2 acre; 2. the 160 multiple units will range from a 45-unit facility to a 20-unit facility; 3. the multiple units are viewed as being, in .part, apartment buildings that will hopefully provide employee housing; VA would be willing to commit themselves to this formally; A~. they are trying to place the buildings in such a way that the meadow area will be open; 5. stables and riding facilities will be provided and the present stable area relocated; 6, the stable would probably be offered to someone on a long-term lease who would build the facility and pay no rent until his capital costs were recovered; 7. Vail Associates would build the tennis courts for public use and possibily offer them to the Town at a later date; 8. restrictive covenants would be used to maintain architectural con- trol; 9. exterior materials permissable would be limited; 10, the natural setting would be required to be preserved as far as possible with regard to trees, rock outcroppings, etc. In the matter of what, if any, open space would be dedicated to the "f-awn, Mr. Nott indicated that the tract along Booth Creek would be dedicated, the steep portions could be dedicated; Vail Associates would retain control of the meadow by the stable location but the disposition 'of the other meadows was not yet decided . Mayor Dobson noted that i~efore the Town cauid accept a dedication of land it was necessary to be able to foresee a public use for the area, a policy of accepting ,land only in order to save taxes for.the owner would not be desirable. Mention was also made that VA might dedicate the stream tract in the 11th Filing while :retaining tracts,D and F'. Chairman Slifer summarized that the general agreement seemed to be that the plan as a whale was very good. The one area that might need re-study is the MF zone on the western end of the property and the trafFic problem, it might generate. it was emphasized that ail plans would need approval t ~ .. of the Fire Chief, for example, before `,they could be effected. The Board requested they be given a copy of the plat and zoning maps. The next step for VA is to begin to submit the formal papers for annexation; at this paint, the only action the Planning Commission could take would be to give them, a letter stating that they approve of the plan in a preliminary form. The next item on the agenda was the request far rezoning of lots G, H, T, Vail Village, Second Filing . Mr . Minger stated that after numerous dis- cussions, he and the Town Attorney would prefer that the area remain PA, the Bank be given a variance for their condominiums, and Mr. Marcus be assured that the interpretation of PA zoning would allow a "managed condo- minium." The reason for this change of opinion was that such a decision would avoid the difficulties in terms of precedent that a change to HDMF would create. Mr. White disagreed with this rationale, stating that a precedent would still be set of allowing the use, which eventually meant the same thing. Further discussion emphasized that the defining char- acteristic was use rather than ownership and that the original intent had been lodge usage . Mayor Dobson phrased the question at this time as one of whether this usage with its high densities was still the usage desired. In his opinion, it is not. He granted that there is no means available to" the Town to insure that a "managed condominium" remains a hotel in use. Some further discussion insurd as to the precedent_setting implications of a change to HDMF. Mr. Minger was asked why he felt he could justify a change to MF instead. The response was that in such acase atrade-off was apparent; the community would gain a lower density for the change in zoning . Mr. Morcus indicated that a density allowable of .7~ to 1 would eliminate his project. One alternative he saw as open to him would be to go to-court over the interpretation of PA zoning . Trustee Donovan suggested they get the opinion of a legal expert on zoning . Trustee Kindel added that it would still be necessary to decide what was des.irgd and insure that the ordinance reflected this desire. It had been suggested that a variance be granted to the Bank; howerrer, it was pointed out that this would be' a variance for condominiums; thus, Mr. Morcus could then ask for the same variance. It was objected that this, need not necessarily-occur as the Bank could be required to hold the density below that allowable in MF, Further discussion revealed that although there was disagreement as to what the major problem was in the particular case at' hand, there was general agreement that the precedent-setting character of any action was a major concern. Mr. Minger phrased the needed action as he saw it as: 1 . the need to decide what the ordinance should say; 2 , the need to find out through expert legal opinion what it does say; and 3, the reconciliation of 1 , and 2 . This process could be completed in approximately i Q days with concerted effort. Mayor Dobson emphasized that in all discussion it must be remembered that the problems of the Bank and Mr . Morcus are different; the Bank will not have "managed condominiums." Mr. Gorsuch moved that we retain an expert and get a legal interpretation; Mr. Clark seconded this motion. Before a vote was taken, a representative of the Bank explained that they had considered, commercial space above the Bank rather than condominiums; however, as a practical matter rather than a legal one, there would not be enough parking spaces . The -vote on the previous motion was unanimous. Returning to the particular problem at hand., Mr. Minger stated that a reason would be needed for a change in the zoning and economic reasons were not sufficient. Mr. Morcus inquired what the reaction would be if he requested a change to MF zoning.. Trustee White responded that that would put the area more in line with its surroundings. Mr. Morcus suggested he could lease land from the Bank to figure into the FAR.. Mayor Dobson stated that this had bean done once before and he would never favor such an action. At this puncture both the representatives of the Bank and Mr. Morcus, having completed their presentations, left the meeting . Page 2 .v ~ ~ ~ Trustee White stated his opinion that if tie Commission were to change the zoning to HDMF, the PA zone might as welt be eliminated. Trustee Kindel suggested that the PA and HDMF zones be combined with the addition of a requirement for public recreation facilities and a lobby area. Chairman Slifer stated his opinion that HDMF is too permissive a zone as are some aspects of PA such as the ailovvance for office space. He could agree with combining the two zones 'and allowing MF to become the zone for apartments. Trustee White, referring the problem back to the question- of original intent, indicated that his understanding was that they were trying to generate higher occupancy which could support shops and restaurants. Condominiums would not generate this business and hence Vail would be a mare sterile resort. Trustee Staufer agreed with this position that the condominium renter spends less money in the Town than the person who rents only a room. Mayor Dobson disagreed to the extent that the question for him is whether we are dense enough already. In addition, he thought it an interesting paint that at present lodgings are built without amenities; a requirement for these facilities might contribute noticeably to the Town. Mr. Minger summarized that the "proposal thus far was to combine PA and HDMF, taking the best of each and adding the requirement of recreatiohal amenities . In terms of the specific problem at hand, a solution was suggested that the area in which the Bank will be constructed be re-zoned MF, with a recommendation for granting a condi- tional use permit to accommodate the Bank usage. The area in which Mr. Morcus proposes to build will be left RA and it was the Planning Com- mission's and Board of Trustee's opinion that the project as presented by Mr. Morcus was permissible under the present PA zone. Additional business at this meeting included: 1 . that some move should be made to try to lessen the density on the VA property next to Manor Vail that is currently HDMF: 2. that the height of buildings should be controlled by the FAR, if buildings are becoming too tall, perhaps the FAR is too high; 3. that a small meeting room in a lodge to serve guests of that lodge should be exempted from the per-seat parking requirement; 4. that there has been no final decision on the parking structure, the money allocated was far pre- liminary studies; 5. that at a future meeting a decision must be reached on the Holy Cross Electric franchise proposal; 6, that an information session for the benefit of new members will be held in the near future, As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5;fl0 p. m, • lh t -'~i~i Town to Page 3 ~~ .~ _.. MINUTES REGULAR MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TQWN OF VAI L APRIL 18 , 1972 A regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vail was convened at 7:A~0 p. m. , April 18, 1972, in the Council .Room of the Vail Municipal Building . Mayor John Dobson and the following Trustees were present: John ^onovan C. E . Ted Kindel Joseph Lang maid Josef Staufer Gerry White Also present were; Terrell Minger, Town Manager Lawrence Robinson, Town Attorney The Board first convened as the Local Liquor Licensing Authority. The Gore Valley Restaurant Associates, Inc. , purchaser of the Blue Cow, was requesting the transfer of the present license from the Avanti Corp, to their organization. Mr. McLaughlin, their attorney, presented letters of recommendation for each of the officers of this corporation; he saw the issue as one of character, given that the premises are already licensed . Mr. Robinson noted that they had complied with the other requirements of licensing. He asked if any citizens had come to protest; there were none. Trustee Donovan asked if the restaurant would have access other than through the main parking lot. Mr. McLaughlin indicated they would have access through Vail Associates' property on the side of the lot. He also stated that Mrs. Staufer and Mrs. Langegger had resigned from the positions they held in connection with the Lord Gore Restaurant. After reading through the documents submitted, all members indicated they had no further questions. Trustee Donovan moved they approve the transfer of license; Trustee Lang maid seconded; approval was unanimous. The Local Liquor Licensing Authority was adjourned at 7';50 p. m. The y meeting was re~-convened as the Board of Trustees at 7:50 p. m. The first item of business was i±he consideration of the minutes of the March 13, March 20, and March 21 meetings. Trustee Donovan moved these be approved; Trustee White seconded; approval was unanimous . A RESOLUTION APPOINTING OFFICIALS FOR THE ADMIMSTRATION OF THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE TOWN OF VAIL was next submitted to the Board. Terrell J. Minger was named Clerk, Recorder, and Treasurer; Roland Gerard, Municipal Judge; Lawrence B. Robinson, Town Attorney; Stanley F. Bernstein, Finance Director and Director of Administrative Ser- vices; Michael DiMiceli, Marshall; and Linda R. Hall, Deputy Clerk. The only change was Mr,' Gerard as Judge. He had been approached to perfarrin this duty due to the fact that conducting court on Saturday, the only day Judge Brofos could be present, created many time conflicts; it was also felt that having a person from outside the community has many advantages; and, also, there is a possibility of having same of the county court proceedings here as Judge Gerard is also a County Judge. Judge Gerard will receive a salary of $175.00 per month; the salary in the past has been $100..00 per month. His clerk from the County Court will maintain the retards and t ol- lect fines and fees. As there were no further questions, Trustee White moved they approve the resolution; Trustee Staufer seconded; approval was unanimous . w. The Eagle County School District Re 50J had sent a letter requesting the renewal of their lease for facilities in the Municipal Building. They indicated they would have their own facilities completed by the Fali of 1973. Trustee White asked what alternatives were open for housing these students. Trustee Kindel indicated that these were: 1 . to move the Minturn fifth and sixth grades to Redciiff and the Vail students to Minturn, an alternative with obvious disadvantages; 2. to convert the loft of the in-bed facility a~ the Vaii Clinic; the disadvantage being that the cost would be in the neighborhood of $15,000 to $20,000. Trustee Kindel stated fur- ther that he did think that the school district should pay, more for the use of the Municipal Building. Mr. Minger agreed that the rent should at least pay for the wear and tear on the building. Trustee Kindel moved that the lease be effected far the 1972-73 school year at a rental of $200 per rnanth and, further, that the request be made for more caordina.tian between the teachers and the Town Manager. Trustee .Donovan seconded; passage was unanimous . As a point of information, Mr. Robinson noted that-the decision to re-gone the property on which the Bank of Vail has proposed tb build to MF will require a public hearing. As the next. meeting of the Board of Trustees will be on May 16, a considerable length of time will lapse before this hearing requirement can be met. He proposed that, subject to any objec- tion raised at the hearing, the Board give the Bank tentative acknnwledge~- . meat of the decision. Mayor Dobson stated that he did not anticipate that any problems would arise but, of course, there could be no commitment . until the hearing has taken place, The Board thus agreed to give tentative acknowledgement of the decision , A request had been received to became an honorary citizen of Vail from Col. Erwin Kach. Trustee Donovan moved that his request be granted; Trustee Staufer seconded; passage was unanimous . Mr. Minger reported that the Public Service Company and Mountain Bell are willing to do the house numbering oi; Vail for us. Mountain Beil has volunteered to provide and install the numbers at their expense. The system has been designed to cover the entire valley. Trustee Do~iavaninquired if an individual could install his, own number; Nlr. Minger stated this could be done as long as it met certain standards of visibility. The number could be either on the. house or on a stake in front of the property; the, decision would be reached in con- junction with the owner involved. A further point of information was that the owner can choose not to have his street number listed in the directory; Moun-~ tain Bell has indicated that they will honor the owners' wishes in this matter. Trustee Kindel moved that the Board approve the installation of numbers with the location and type to be subject to approval by Mr. Minger, the Police Chief and the Fire Chief. Trustee White seconded; approval was unanimous. Trustee Staufer brought up the subject of the VRA Information Center; specifi- cally, the VRA would like to request that the Town consider staffing the Center. Mayor Dobson suggested that, as the need is not pressing, a meeting between the VRA and the Board be held around the first of June. Mr. Minger indicated. he would like to draw up a proposal to be considered at the next meeting. Mr. Ogilby of Trout Unlimited requested that his group be given $300 of the $500 budgeted for them in order that they may sponsor tree planting in the valley on April 30. Mayor Dobson indicated he would advise the Town Manager to issue a check far this amount. Mr. Ogilby next stated that he was upset by the -fact that a Town vehicle had been in the stream in the tract land near the Vorlaufer. Mr. Minger said he found it justified because: 1 . the stream damage was minimal; 2, the action was necessary to fortify the bridge and keep it from reaching a dangerous state due to erosion. Mr. Ogilby felt, however, that it was up to the Town to set an example. Mr. Minger disagreed; he felt that the Town does set a good example. Trustee White suggested there be an ordinance prohibiting taking a machine into the stream without a permit. Mayor Dobson requested that Mr. Minger discuss the matter with groups involved and draft an ordinance.

Building. The following Trustees were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan C . E . Ted Kindel Josef Staufer Gerry White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Stan Bernstein, Finance Director The First matter on the agenda was the selection of a Mayor Pro~-tem. Trustee ~~ Donovan moved that C.E. Ted Kindel serve i:n this capacity; Trustee Bailey seconded; selection was unanimous. The preliminary plans for a parking structure,. transportation terminal and ice arena were next considered: Mr. Klinger explained the basic estimates of needed parking and an outline of thinking to date on the matter; this information can be found in the study of the Municipals Parking Facility prepared by Beardsley, Davis Associates, Inc. Additional information noted included that: 1 . 90% of the sales tax revenue is generated by the guest; 2 , the 1 % sales tax earmarked for capital improvements generates approximately $250,000 per year; 3. the proposed ice arena could be used for other purposes such as conventions or other sporting events; 4. the current deficit in parking needs to be remedied before other, long-term methods of handling transportation requirements are considered; 5. if the project is undertaken, .a construction manager would be hired who would supervise the sub_contracting of large portions of the work; 6. the upper tier of the structure could be used for tennis courts in the summer, when the need for parking is less; 7. it would be possible in the future to build another level on top of the structure as now designed; 8. Section C, where the ice arena is now proposed, would not be built in the present construction season. 1 Mr. Ream, the proposed architect, added to this that the structure could be built in less verticle space than now exists between the frontage road and Gore Creek Drive. As shown in the model, several steps would be taken to insure that the structure would blend into its setting. In .regard to snow removal, Mr. Ream noted that they are considering (1) complete snow melting equipment built into the top deck of the structure, (2) snow melting, pits, or (3) portable snow melting machines. In terms of the number of spaces provided, there would be 760 spaces in Sections A & B with a total far the project of approximately 1100 to 1175, if no facilities such as the ice rink were constructed. There would be a gradually sloping ramp between levels; permission to encourage day skiers to enter from the frontage -road appears thus far assured . Mr. McCall of the VRA stated that his organization's second priority is a con- ference facility. He did not see using the proposed ice skating Facility as a practical alternative; nor did he think it would be attractive enough for the type of groups interested in Vail. Adding an additional level would be an inadequate solution as they want at least 20, 000 square feet for this Facility, preferably at ~1 the west end of the site. He saw a conference facility aS ,oraducing direct revenue for the town. Mr. Parker inquired what the square footage of the transportation terminal area was projected to be. Mr. Ream responded that the exact figure was still flexible; originally it had been set at 2,500 square feet, but the interest ~~~~ shown in the area might increase it, When informed that Continental Trailways had only asked far enough space to have 34 seats and a 24-foot counter; Mr Parker suggested that perhaps the community should have a voice in what the needs for this .service would be, He then asked why an ice arena had been included in the plans. Mr. Minger cautioned against assuming that the decision had already been made; however, in terms of the preliminary plans, it had been included as it was logical from an economic viewpoint as well as that of the recreational needs of the community. Mr. Parker next inquired if a bond issue would be of such a magnitude as to finance the entire project. Mr. Minger replied that the town-does not have the fiscal capability of financing the entire project at once. There followed a discussion of town priorities, In terms of the project being presented, it was emphasized that Section C was to be built later and was still very flexible as to what would be incorporated, Sections A and B, however, would need to be retained as parking if it were decided to try to make up the parking deficit. However, a structure built for parking could still be turned to other uses in the future. A suggestion was made that as there is a gap ;between the activities available in the winter and those for the summer, the construction of recreational facilities in the structure be directed toward summer facilities. It was emphasized that the proposed ice arena would be a year-round facility. Mr. McCall further explained why he felt a convention center was needed. Al- though there are currently facilities far up to 1 ,000 people, there are few meet- ing room facilities. Thus, there are often times when all meeting rooms are utilized but there are still empty beds in town. It was suggested that Blake Lynchf s report on convention facilities be reviewed at this time . The concern was expressed that an increase of parking might overtax the eapa-- city of Bridge Street to handle the occupants of these cars: Also, it was asked if free parking would be provided for residents . Trustee Donovan suggested that, granted parking was needed, it might be preferable to purchase land for ground level parking. Mr. Parker expanded the suggestion of ground-level park- ing by stating that at a later date these lots could be converted to open-space , Mr. Weibel questioned whether additional parking was needed at all; the intro- duction of a bus line next year might eliminate the need for employee parking. Trustee Donovan noted that if the construction is -not undertaken this summer, there will be no back-up parking but Golden Peak. Trustee Staufer moved that a study committee be appointed consisting of one Trustee, and one representative each from Vail Associates, the VRA, the transportation companies, and one member at large. He suggested there be no further action taken until this committee reported , Trustee Donovan seconded this motion. Before voting, Trustee White commented that, eliminating Section • C from consideration for the moment, A and Bare an urgent need. Otherwise, there will be 250 less parking spaces next winter. He did not think the structure would glut Bridge Street nor that a decision on A and B .precluded a convention center or the purchase of open space. Trustee Bailey endorsed this statement and added that in the 30 days prior to any bond election discussion could take place. Trustee Donovan remarked that, if after discussion the majority were not in favor, the bond election would be voted down. Mr. Ream stated that in order to have things ready for the contractors if the bond election passed, his firm would need to continue working on the plans, He also noted that construc- tion costs are increasing by approximately 10% per year, making a delay costly if the project were eventually undertaken. A third thing he pointed out was that there would be enough space in Unit C to construct a convention center, if that were the decision. As Trustee Staufer was not yet certain whether he wanted the mechanics of the election and the architectural planning to cease, he withdrew. the motion. Mr. Minger thought that Mr. Ream should be given some definite answer as to whether to continue work. Mr. Ream indicated that in order to finish the con- tract drawings, he would need to have the contract completed v~i,th the proviso that the work could be halted at any time. It would be a calculated risk to assume that the drawings should be completed rather than waiting for any changes sug- gested by the committee. The original planning appropriation had bean $15,000; Page 2 ~ ,.M . ,, Mr. R.eam's fees for work beyond that are an additional $16,000; he estimated that an additional $34,000 would be needed to complete everyEhing necessary before construction, Trustee Bailey moved that Mr. Ream be authorized to proceed on the drawings for Sections A & B until the bond election or until the Trustees or committee decide .otherwise. Trustees Bailey and White voted for this motion; Trustees Staufer and Donovan voted against. Mayor Pro--Lem Kindel suggested the matter be postponed and abstained from voting . A brief recess was called at 10;00 p, m. When the meeting reconvened at 10:06 p, m,, ORDINANCE NO. 7 (Series of 1972), AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING T'HE ZONING FOR. A PARCEL...

Mr. Slifer, Chairman of the Planning Commission, explained that after much discussion the decision had been made to change the =z"oning to MF as this would allow the bank as a conditional use while also lowering the allowable density, The recommendation of the Planning Commission is to make this change and also to grant the conditional use permit. The- Trustees were polled as to whether they had read and understood Ordinance No, 7; each indi-sated that he had. fihe vote was taken with Trustees Bailey, Donovan, Kindel, Staufer and White voting for; there were no votes against.

The recommendation of the Planning Commission was in favor of the annexation, As there were no questions, the Trustees were polled as to whether they had read and understood the ordinance; each responded that he had. The vote was taken with Trustees Bailey, Donovan, Staufer and White voting for; there were no votes against. Ordinance No. 9 was declared to be adopted effective 30 days after publication. It was next proposed that the Antholz annexation agreement be ratified by the new Board of Trustees, as the original agreement was signed just prior to the elec- tion . Also, as this area is now part of the Town, it is to the Town's advantage to accept the dedication from Vaii Associates of the roadway between the existing Manor Vail units, Trustee White moved the Board ratify the agreement, Trustee Bailey seconded; Trustees Donovan, Bailey and White voted For; Trustee Staufer voted against. The agreement was declared to be ratified. Trustee Donovan moved the Board accept the dedication of the roadway between the Manor Vail units; Trustee White seconded; approval was unanimous.

As there are now some probl"ems that need to be arbitrated, he suggested a committee of two Trustees and a lay citizen be appointed. Trustee ,~;- laonavan nominated Trustee Lang maid and Trustee Bailey nominated Mayor Dobson, c, ~~, These two nominations were agreed upon. Mayor Pro-tem Kindel added that if ~~ _, ~ any citizens are interested in serving on the committee to please notify the Town. ~~; ~' Mr. Elias contributed that Manor Vail has been negotiating with Cable TV and will make the results available to the Town. Mr. Weibel inquired about the widening of Forest Road; Mr. Minger indicated that the dirt currently exposed will be blacktopped and then the project will be completed , As a point of information, he stated that all town roads have a potential 50-foot roadway. Cribs had been built around three spruce trees affected by the widening and the opinion of the Forest Service is that they will survive . It was suggested that construction companies be required to erect fences along the green belt. Mr. Minger indicated this could. be required in the building cads. In response to a question regarding lighting of Core "Creek Drive in front of the Mountain Haus, it was indicated that the disposition of this matter hinged on the decision on the parking structure. Mr. Slifer reported that the tennis pro is ~n town and has opened his shop in the ski rental facility at Golden Peak. The assistant golf pro has also arrived. The parking tot at the golf course will be graveled this year. The food operation at the golf course has been awarded to Michi Blake, Vail Associates will operate the food service at Golden Peak. As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:45 p.m. Tow C erk /G lh • Page 4 - ~: ~, MINUTES S PECIA L ME ETI NG BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF VAIL MAY 22 , 1972 • r~ l~.J • A special meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vail was convened at 3:00 p. m. , May 22, 1972, in the.ConFerence Room o.f t}he :Vail Municipal Building. Mayor John A. Dobson and the Following Trustees were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan JoseF StauFer Gerry White Also present were: Terrell J . Minger, Stanley Bernstein, Dale McCall, VRA Hans Weibel Dick Elias Mlke l3lseniuS Town Manager Finance Director The First item on the agenda was a resolution of the VR.A Board which Mr. McCall summarized. The resolution basically states that the major concerns of the Board of the VRA are the present lack of parking, interim parking For this summer, iF the structure is built, and the necessity For adequate space being allocated for a conFerence center--information facility. Mr. McCall, supported by Mr. Elias, also expressed concern that insufFicient space had been allocated in the structure For a transportation ``germinal, as last year's figures indicated that, at one time, 200 people utilized the bus station, Mr McCall suggested that part of the Anthoiz property be leased as an interim parking site during construction. Mr. Elias commented that he would like to know what happens if the bond election fails, Mr, Bisenius pointed out how the present lot could increase its capacity by 3Q0 cars if angle parking, rather than head-on parking, was used. He suggested that iF he were to contract to run the lot, he wauid have 30 more feet than needed to accommodate 700 cars using aone-way traFFic route. Mr. We ibel stated that his concern was that the structure might not be cor-r~plsted by the fall. Trustee White questioned Mr. McCall as to whether he would prefer the structure or parking on the Anthoiz land, Mr. McCall stated that the structure was aes- thetically pleasing and he would prefer it. However, the interim situation is his worry. Mr. Bisenius noted that there are two other considerations, one being the number of cars per hour that can ga through the structure and secondly, the inefficiency of the lower level parking, The Board then convened in executive session and the question was raised as to whether or not to continue with the planning phase. Trustee Donovan stated that although he was confused as to when the parking structure should be done, he felt that planning should continue, Trustee Staufer stated that he felt the time element was too tight and he would like to explore alternative methods. The Mayor noted that a number of studies had been done previously, in addition tQ the Beardsley,Davis report. Trustee White then moved to have the architectural and planning team proceed with their work on the structure and the revised trans- portation terminal plans Fora $64,000 expenditure as agreed in their contract. Trustee Donovan seconded; the motion was unanimously passed. . ,.. , .:u" - F - - .:. i~ The discussion then extended to the proposed bond election. Mr. Minger noted that prior to calling an election, the Board should decide whether philosophically they agreed on the necessity of the structure. Trustees StauFer and Donovan expressed doubts in this regard. Trustee Bailey noted that whether it was decided to build the structure this year or next, it was necessary and that as time went on the proposed site would more and more appear to be the logical place. Trustee White then stated that he thought the major questions in the public's mind were where would there be parking this summer, iF it were to be built, and secand.ly, would it be finished in time. Mr. Minger not~:d that it was essential to have unanimous agreement on the Board prior to the election. Mayor Dobson thought that this was not true . Mr. Minger noted that there was a ~0-day requirement between a bond election notice and the election and if the eiection were to be held, it should be authorized soon. Trustee White moved that a bond eiection on the parking structure be authorized . The motion was seconded by Trustee Donovan and was unanimously passed. There being no Further business, the meeting adjourned. • lh ~1 LJ ' ,. /~ L Tow erk ~ ~:. Page 2 r~ ' Y ' - MINUTE'S REGULAR. MEETING BOARD OF' TRUSTEES FOR THE TOWN OF VAI:L JUNE 6, 1972 • A regular meetin of the Board of Trustees For the T n f g ow o Va~i was convened at 7:30 p. m. , June 6, 1972, in the Council Roam of the Vail Municipal Building. Mayor John A . Dobson and the Following Trustees were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan Joseph Lang maid Josef Staufer Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Larry Robinson, Town Attorney The Board First convened as the Local Liquor Licensing Authority to consider the application Fora 3-way license of Ichiban at Vaii, The Town Clerk, Mr, Minger, ~. indicated that ail information had been submitted and all fees paid. The Town Attorney indicated that the applicants had Fol.towed the applicable Colorado statutes; a Police Department report had also been submitted. No petitions against the applicants had been received. Mr. McLaughlin, attorney -For the applicants, noted that the standard- letters of recommendation had been submitted and were in the File. He Further mentioned that usually the only matter in question in a license transfer would be to establish the character of the applicants, ,However, as the plans for the type of restaurant were vague when the original license was granted to the Talisman, it had been decided to expand the hearing to delineate the plans for Ichiban. Gerald Kato was called as the first witness. Both he and Mr. John Murphy were. sworn in by Town Clerk Minger. Mr. Kato gave his occupation as a Free-lance designer and also he is employed by Jahn Kaemmer. He indicated that there were two small shareholders in the corporation, each of whom awns less than 10% aF the stock. He presented sketches of the restaurant which will be located in the Talisman Lodge; it will contain approximately 3,600 square Feet with a bar area of 600 square Feet seating 36-64 people, Both Chinese and Japanese appetizers will be available at the bar. The group has been working with Mr. Struble, the Town Building OFFicial, on their plans, Mr. Kato has been given a course in management training at the Ichiban Restaurant in Chicago; he will be managing the Food and Mr. Murphy the bar, Joyce Nakashima will be the assistant manager. None of the ofFicers of the corporation have any interest in any other liquor license in Colorado. As there were no Further questions of him, Mr, Kato stepped down. Mr. Murphy was called . He is presently a bartender at the Copper Bar and has been a resident For 3 1/2 years.. Mr. Murphy has worked in restaurants during college and summers and has been employed `at several establishments in Town including the Vail Village Inn and Pepi's. As there were na further questions of the witness, he was dismissed, Mr. McLaughlin concluded his presentation with a request that the license be transferred. Mayor Dobson asked v~hen the restaurant wilt open; this will be the first or secone! vsieek in November and it will stay open through the summers. Mr. Robinson recommended the transfer be approved. Trustee StauFer moved that a restaurant liquor license be granted to Ichiban at Vail; Trustee Bailey seconded, Trustee Donovan abstained from voting For techni- cal reasons. Trustee Langmiad was desirous of more information; hence, he -also abstained. Trustee StauFer withdrew his motion. The Board will have another meeting in the near Future to further consider the application. At 8:00 p. m. the meeting was convened as the Board of Trustees. J` ., . The First item on the agenda was the approval of the voucher Lists Far February and March, 1972. Items which were explained included: 1:. The $1 , 000 for legal Fees to Eagle--Piney was one installment of the $5,000 pledged to them; 2. $10,000 was given to the VRA for summer advertising. Trustee, Donovan moved the voucher lists be approved; Trustee Bailey seconded; approval was . unanimous. The minutes of May 16, '1972, were presented for approval. Trustee. Donovan moved they be approved; Trustee Bailey seconded; approval was unanimous. Mayor Dobson gave a report on structured ;parking, Mr, Ream, the proposed architect, has been requested to immediately cease all work on the project. An exact statement of his expenses to date is not yet available, The work has been halted because the time factor as well as the lack of overwhelming citizen approval make it too risky to go ahead with a bond election. Now the need is to look at the problem and discuss the needs. The Mayor suggested a series of public study meetings, each one addressed to a -part of the problem. He also noted that Vail Associates is aware that the Town expects a statement From them on their posi- tion on the, problem, Trustee Staufer suggested that a committee with represen- tatives of the various interest groups be appointed; however, the Mayor Felt that the Trustees should conduct the meetings as they will make the decision. The study meetings will be separate From the regular Board meetings, unless one of these meetings has a very short agenda, In any case, the study meetings will be publicized . The report an the Electric Franchise study noted that the preliminary proposals have been received and discussions will begin soon. A resolution honoring the resigning Municipal Judge, Francis F. Brofos, was read in Full and unanimously adopted. He was presented with a gift. Copies aF ORDINANCE NO. 10 (Series of 1972} AN .ORDINANCE ACCEPTTNG THE DEDICATION OF A PUBLIC RIGHT-OF'-WAY, THE SAME BEING A PORTION OF LOT A , BLOCK 1 , VAI L VI LLAGE, SEVENTH FI LING; THE DETERMI NATION OF THE PUBLIC NECESSITY FOR SAID RIGHT-OF-WAY; AND SETTING FORTH MATTERS AND DETAILS IN RELATION THERETO had been distributed. to the Trustees. The Town Attorney had been asked to prepare this ordinance following the vote of the Board to accept the dedication at its May 16 meeting. As there were no questions, Trustee Bailey moved the ordinance be adopted; Trustee Donovan seconded. Trustees Bailey, Donovan, Lang maid and StauFer were in favor; there were no votes against, The ordinance was adapted; effective 30 days following its publication. Mr, Minger reported that the Vail Symposium will be held on August 4 and 5; it will be entitled "Agenda for Tomorrow," and concentrate on regional growth problems, Stewart Udall will be the. keynote speaker and .others tentatively an the agenda include John McGuire, ChieF of the Forest Service; Christopher Wren, an editor for Newsweek Magazine; Desmond Muirhead, a .planner; Ian McHarg, an environmental planner; and Richard Lamm, a Colorado state representative. Some concern that the Level of the disuussions would be too general was expressed; how- ever, there will be question and answer periods and also small group sessions where speciFic questions can be asked. Mr. Minger presented some photographs of projects done by Bailey & Associates; a firm of landscape architects From Jonathan, Minnesota. He would tike Fnr them to undertake the tot lot behind Gondola 1 . The cost would be approximately $10,000. Some of the structures could perhaps be used in the winter. It was suggested that the lot be constructed at Golden Peak; however, there is no land available there, it was also Hated that its is Feasible For the old equipment to be moved to other areas. Another landscaping project he would like to undertake would be the construction of a soccer field and volley ball and horseshoe areas. The land is being given to the Town by Vail Associates. Ben Kruger noted that there will be same repair work necessary each spring due to the efFects of the ice for skating which will overlay the field. Trustee Langmaid inquired how long it would be before the field could„ ~: Page 2 .,fit r , r • be used; this would be 2 to 4 weeks . Seeding is not practical as the type which grows quickly will not remain in succeeding years . They have located approxi- mately an acre of sad that can be cut. Trustee Donovan moved that $7500 be approved For constructing the soccer field and also For landscaping the three new tennis courts owned by the Town. The money wouid come out of the general Fund or greenbelt fund, as it is not budgeted. Trustee Bailey seconded the motion; approval was unanimous. An additional point of information was that work on Seibert Circle has begun. It was reported that two girls have been hired to stafF the Information Booth seven days a week and do clerical work for the Town of Vail , They have been brieFed by the VRA and will be coordinating with this group. Currently the Information Booth is open From 8 to 5; these hours might be changed depending on the traffic, Mr. McCait commended the Town of the solution of the information booth problem, The discussion next turned to a possible 12 feet by 30 feet information sign. The cost wouid be $2,100. Reactions included: 1 . the suggested size is tao big; 2. the sign might have to include so many things that it would be illegible; 3, a handout or information map might be preferable, especially as a billboard seems uncharacteristic of Vail; 4, the Vail Trail could resu me publication of a simpli- fied map. It was suggested that a Frame be built and people can then react to it. Perhaps an attempt should be made to get permission to place a sign by the Four- way stop signs directing people to the information booth. Additional items of business included: 1 . the quarterly library report; 2', a request to contact the Highway Department regarding the inclusion of Vail on the turn-oFf sign on the new section of I-70 near Frisco; 3. a request that July 5 through 9 be proclaimed Tenth Mountain Division Week as they are having their 30th Reunion in Vail at that time; 4, a VRA request for a contribution of $300 for Fourth of July fireworks which wilt be set off by members of the volunteer fire department. Trustee Donovan moved that $300 be appropriated for Fireworks, passage was unanimous . Mr. Robinson reported that the Board of Trustees and the Town are being sued by three condominium associations in relation to the annexation of the Anthoiz property. They are making four difFerent claims, seeking damages of $50, 000 and an injunc- tion on the bridge construction. The history of the road dedication goes back to 1967. Ordinance No. 10, which was just adopted, tied up the last of the loose ends. It was brought up that people who are walking or bicycling along I~70 are being ticketed. Mr. McLaughlin, former Assistant D.A. , explained the legal basis For the prosecutions and also expressed the opinion that, as I-70 from Vail to Minturn is the only route, perhaps separate lanes For bicycles and pedestrians should be requested. Mayor Dobson requested Mr. Robinson to study the problem and make a recommendation for action, Mr. Minger noted that in connection with the Vail Pass I-~70, efforts are being made to assure that there will be bicycle access. Further points of information included: 1 , the studies and reports on the proposed Vail Pass I-70 are available in the Town office; 2, the bus station will probably remain in its current location Following the decision not to proceed with the parking structure this year. Merv Lapin suggested that Mr: Bertroch, the County Assessor, be invited to a meeting to explain the increase in assessments in the Vail area. One point which he wouid like to investigate is the extent to which assessments in other areas of the county were increased . The suggestion met with 'a Favorable response . Mr. Robinson contribut~:c! that the assessor had probably been instructed to increase the valuation; also the State Tax Commission has a new manual which will have great impact. However, theoretically, the mill levy should go down when this is done. Mr. Minger endorsed the idea but suggested that it should not be a Town project but rather a project of anon-aligned citizen group. As there was na Further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:45 p. m. Town C l rk lh Page 3 SPECIAL MEETING OF JUNE 12, 1972 FLOOR AREA RATIO - THREE WILLOW PLACE A special meeting was held at 2:00 p.m. on June 12, 1972 at the request of Mr. Fitzhugh Scott and Mrs. Nancy Rich. The following persons were present: Messrs. Gordan Fierce, Mayor Dobson, Larry Robinson, George Knox, Jr., Jim Viele, Ed Struble and Ms .. Rich and Diana Wygant. The primary purpose of the special meeting was to di5CU55 the apparent misunderstanding in the interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance by the of#ice of Fitzhugh Scott. Mr. Pierce stated that the entire problem of being in excess ofi the allowable F.A.R. is due to the fiact that his office interpreted the Zoning Ordinance to mean habitable floor space. However, even using their interpretation, the building is still in excess of the. allowable F.A.R. of 1:00:1.00. The basic areas of disagreement in interpretation were as follows: I. Town of Vail interpretation includes the following items which were not included by Mr. Scott: a. Measurement from either the center or the outside of the wall for gross area. Scott's ofifice measured from the inside of each wall and deducted for interior par- titions. This amounts to a difference of only about 400 square feet. b, They deducted ail areas for fireplace space. c. The Town included stairs (required) and exit balconies which were not included by Mr. Scott. d. The Town of Vail included office and storage areas in the ground floor level which was not included by Scott. Mr. Pierce and Mrs. Rich have asked that the Board of Trustees review the interpretation of the definition of "floor area" to determine if the intent was "habitable space" or "grass horizontal area" as the Town of Vail interprets. Scott's office also would like to plead:a hardship since the building was designed first under the 1.50:1.00 F.A.R.; was then redesigned and not passed by the Architectural Control Board; was redesigned a third time to pass Architectural Control and construction is now ready to begin. If the Town of Vail interpretation is used, all storage areas in the garage area, several closets, a wo~t~kroom, and the entire tap floor could be deducted and the building is still in excess of the allowable F.A.R. .~ ~ .- ' MINUTES SPECIAL ME E_ TING BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF VAI L JUNE `i'4, 1972 • A s eclat meetin of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vaii was convened P 9 at 2:15 p, m, , June 14, 1972, in the ConFerence. Room of the Vaii Munici-pal Building. Mayor John A . Dobson and the following Trustees were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan C.E. Ted Kindel Joseph Lang maid Josef Staufer Gerry White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Lawrence B. Robinson, Town Attorney Mayor Dobson inFormed the Board of Trustees of the background inFormation leading to the request for a clariFication of the definition of "Floor area" Found in the Zoning Ordinance, and the request by Mr. Fitzhugh Scott on behalF of Mrs . Nancy Rich For a floor area ratio variance . Mayor Dobson explained that the design for the proposed building at Three Willow Place started some time in 1970 and that plans were -First subE-nitted early in 1971. This First design had an F.A, R, of 1 .50:1..00 For which. Mr. Scott wanted a variance . This variance was denied on March 18, 1971. Mr . Scott then redesigned the building with an F.A.R.. of 1 .00:1 .QO which met the zoning requirement; however, the Architectural Control Board disapproved this design as it was not alpine in character. The building was redesigned a third time and plans were submitted and approved by Architectural Control in August 1971 and preliminary plans were submitted to the Building Department and I . C. B. Q, in February, 1972. Final plans for the third design (the one in question) were submitted to the Building Department on May 15, 1972. The contractar applied For a building permit on June 7, 1972, and was inFormed that there were problems with both setbacks and floor area ratio. Ryder Con- struction, the contractor, appeared For a preliminary hearing beFore the Board of Zoning, Appeals and Examiners on June 8.. They were informed that the Board could not grant an F.A.R. variance and that this could be done only by the Board of Trustees . Mr . Scott, Mrs . Rich and Gordon Pierce- then met with Mayor Dobson and Larry Robinson to discuss the problems and to seek solutions. Mayor Dobson then called a special meeting to determine the Facts. Calculations were presented by the Buitd€ng Department: which indicated that the F . A . R . was approximately 1 .45:1 , 00. Mr. Scott and Mr, Pierce then asked that the Board of Trustees be advised of the problem and that a clariFication be made of the deFinition of -Floor area. Scott's ofFice had calculated it with the interpretation of "habitable space."(See minutes of special meeting of June 12, 1972. ) AFter a brief discussion, Trustee White made a motion that the Board of Trustees accept the Building Department's interpretation and calculations for floor area ratio; that the building as designed be declared unacceptable under the Zoning Ordinance; and that a building permit be denied. The motion was seconded by Trustee Kindel and approved unanimously by fihe Board. The next item on the agenda was the necessity of determining conceptually how to proceed in solving the parking problem, Discussions with Vail Associates .have produced the inFormation that some additional: parking is being built at Lionshead but that there is no Further land available`From this source. Contact has been made with the owners of the Antholz property (Manor Vail Co.) and they are wilting • to lease or sell land but must be informed of a decision soon. An approximate Figure would be 3 million dollars for the entire property. This would be about 15 to 20 usable acres. Trustee Staufer presented some aerial photos and a letter suggested various alternative approaches. His opinion was that acquiring the land was more important than providing parking spaces. Trustee White concurred that buying land was in the best interests of the Town but that it will not solve the parking problems. Mayor Dobson cautioned that were parking provided in that area, the possibility exists that a major liFt complex might be constructed. It is debatable whether the taxpayers should pay fnr day-skier parking. In regard to Mr. Bisenius' calculations that 700 cars could be parked in the main lot, these figures are in error. In order to accommodate more than 400 to 450, it would be necessary to do away with the green mall and cut into the bank. Some parking for the Forthcoming winter :might be available in the area behind the Bank site. A discussion of whether the Antholz property is too f~;r away and whether running buses would soave the problem ensued. One suggest~ori was that the entire area south of Gore Creek would need to be blocked ofF; in this way the traffic congestion resulting from people taking a chance on finding a space would be avoided. Mayor Dobson suggested negotiations be opened with Manor Vail Co. 'For aone-year lease; that the. lease-term Figures and expenses neces- sary be determined. As an aside, it was noted that it is not desirable for indi- vidual board m= tubers to enter into negotiations . More detail on purchasing was desired by Trustee Bailey. Also, it might be possible to include an option to buy iF the arrangement were satisfactory. In view of the fact that Vail Associates might go ahead with sift developmentrf parking were available, Trustee Donovan suggested that a joint purchase be recommended. A Further question would be whether additional lifts and traits are of benefit to the Tawn. Trustee Donovan suggested: ~ . Kaiser Morcus be contacted about his lots; 2. Mr. Hibberd be contacted about the unused portions aF the area where the bus station was formerly located; 3. overnight parking by guests of the Mountain Haus, Wedel Inn, Poor Richards, etc. be eliminated, especially as many of these cars are rental vehicles; 4. if overnight parking must be provided, locate it in the Antholz property; and 5, negotiate 'far the acre owned by Mr. Miller next to the Antholz property. Mr. Manger suggested there are many problems being dealt with as one; there is the core area parking. problem; the out-~Iying area parking problem; the potential problem of another lift; the problem of providing green belts. In some ways, it is not a viable alternative to have peo- ple using the downtown area bused; the day--skier, for example, can be shuttled only to a certain point at which Vail becomes not worth the trouble. Trustee Staufer suggested that lodges be required to pay F.or spaces in the main parking lot; the remainder of the parking would be available on a twa-hour basis, except for spaces reserved for the day skier. The questions of how much of the main lot should be paid parking, what types of individuals should be encouraged to park where, were next discussed. From this discussion, it seemed even more apparent that the first public meeting should be devoted to a deFinition of the problem. Mr. Manger expanded this to mean that the problem is less factual than philosophical. The things to be done are: 1 , to get firm information from the Manor Vail Co. ; 2 , to consider the suggestions Mr. Donovan brought forward; 3. to set up a meeting and synthesize the figures. A fourth item proposed was to set up a meeting with Vail Associates. Deveiopmerits outside of the Town of Vaii must also be considered as it will be necessary to decide how access to the core will be provided for these people. It was noted that unless access were provided fringe and strip shopping areas are a likely result. Of course, perhaps it is not desirable for business in the core area to increase. Trustee White clarified that the proposals now being discussed are not designed to increase the number of cars in the core but rather to provide adequate parking 'For those already there. The discussion ended with a reiteration of the thought that apes space and buying land are different questions from that of parking, but that both could be accomplished if it were so decided. Such a move would not necessarily bring in more people but perhaps improve the quality of liFe 'for the current Vail population. The Board will be kept posted on any developments. Page 2 .~ • ".~ - -~ Mr. Minger distributed to the Board copies of a thank you letter from Francis Brofos a.nd also copies of Stewart Udaii's book, 1976: Agenda for Tomorrow. He reported that Mr. McGuire, head of the Forest Service, would hopefully make statements indicating the future policies of the Forest Service when he is in Vail for the Symposium, An additional matter on which the Board should be informed is a proposed bus line covering the valley and Minturn/Redciiff area. The application has been submitted to the PUC by Hans Weibel and Stu Brown and the hearing will be in Vail on June 23. The PUC has requested a statement from the Town. Trustee White contributed that once a license has been issued for a territory, the only way another can be acquired is to show that a need exists which is not being Fulfilled. Trustee White moved the.Board make a favorable statement; Trustee StauFer seconded; this was agreed upon, Mr. Minger suggested it was necessary to make a decision as to whether to proceed with the tat lot and landscaping project, He explained that the wood is treated to avoid splintering and decay and also that the eq~sipment currently at the site will be scattered about Town: Trustee Kindel inquired about the obstacle course currently located there; it could be moved to Golden Peak. Trustee White moved the project be undertaken with funds allocated of $10, 000; Trustee Bailey seconded; approval was unanimous. It was reported by Mr. Minger that he is in fie process of hiring an engineer. His duties and salary will be divided between the Town and the 3 special districts. He will be in charge of the public works, building and' sewer departments. Mr. In regard to landscaping, Seibert Circle will be done far in advance of the Tenth Mountain meeting. Additional projects Mr, Minger would like to undertake are the Manfred Schober Ptaza and the stream tract there; both of these are now Town property. However, he is hoping 'Far contributions from the people involved. The Trustees had some suggestions for areas that should be done . These included 1 . the alley between the Copper Bar and the Casino, the possibility exists that Vail Associates could force, as a result of a contractural agreement, Gramerus Associates to provide a heatr~d sidewalk in this alley; 2 , the bank behind the main parking lot; 3, the stream tract from the Blue Cow to Lionshead, Mr. Minger indicated that some work is planned 'for this along with the installation of two picnic aroas and possible bicycle and foot paths; 4, the stream tract Minger's question was whether the Board has any objections or feelings on the matter. Trustee Staufer asked i,f this man would replace Ken Richards. On day-to-day matters, totally; of course;- there will still be work to be done on contract. The Board was in favor of this idea, A second personnel matter is the hiring of an assistant for Mr, Bernstein, the finance director, Mr, Minger indicated this wou id be done . between the Red Lion and the Mill Creek court building; 5, the walk--way between the Tivoli and the Kindel residence, this could be asphalted and is wide enough to be plowed in the winter; 6. Poor Richards and the Short Swing; however, the only possible entity that could require them to landscape would be architectural control. Mr. Minger indicated that the Town is going to topsoil ai.i of the bad shoulders and seed them. As Mr. HoFfman has left, a man has been hired to ~' supervise the crew, who is in turn supervised b'y Mr. Burnett. Mr, Benway is doing the technical planning; however, Mr. Minger would talk to possible jab applicants. The Town has been in touch with Mr, Prosence, the Highway Depart- ment district engineer regarding the interstate scars . Mr . Minger reported that at Lionshead some of the developers are against the greenbelt and equipment is damaging it,. Mr. St ruble has -been instructed to require the developers to erect fences to protect the area. Amore long-term solution would be to amend the zoning ordinance to require a 25-Foot setback from the greenbelt. It was also suggested that those involved in Apollo Park be required to dig out the trees along the stream. Trustee Kindel inquired about posting Gore Creek for fly--fishing only. Trustee White reported that the Recreation District has ordered some signs as well as Trout Unlimited . Page 3 I ~ • _r J • ,~ ~ "~? ~~; ~, ~~ ~~ ~ h Mr. Minger reported that Andre would like to erect a chestnut and .ice cream stand, The architectural control committee has denied his request. Thus, he wants to put it on Town property. There was general agreement that it cannot be placed on Town property. In regard to the liquor license transfer for Ichiban, Mr. Minger explained that as it is only a transfer on a license the Town has been instructed to award there are no grounds on which to deny it. Trustee Bailey moved the license 'For Ichiban at Vaii be granted; Trustee Lang maid seconded, Trustees Staufer, Bailey and Lang maid voted for approval; Trustees Kindel and White abstained as they were absent at the presentation; and Trustee Donovan abstained for technical reasons. Trustee Donovan reported that he is thinking of meeting with George Thurston to ask him to bury the electric lines in advance of a decision an the franchise. There was some discussion of the political advisability of Mr. Donovan making the request; it was agreed that he should be very careFui to impress upon Mr. Thurston that he is not speaking as a Trustee. Trustee Lang maid inquired regarding the TV committee to which he and Mayor Dobson were appointed. Mr. Minger explained that the franchise requires review of the rates in about 6 months, At that time, many matters can be brought before Cable TV. Trustee White suggested that a notice be put in the paper stating that complaints can be sent to the committee. As there was no Further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:00 p. m.

Mayor John Dobson and the Following Trustees ware present: Richard Bailey, John Donovan C. E , Ted Kindel Joseph Lang maid Josef Staufer Gerry White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Lawrence Robinson, Town Attorney The Board first considered the voucher lists for April and May, 1972. Trustee Donovan noted that the salaries of the Trustees and Mayor had been increased. Trustee Bailey moved these voucher lists be approved; Trustee White seconded; the approval was unanimous. The Board convened as the Local Liquor Licensing Authority at 7:45 p. m. The first item on the agenda was the annual renewal of the 3.2 liquor license For A & D Enterprises. Mr. Robinson explained that 3.2 licenses are .renewed from the initial anniversary date of issuance rather than at the end of the year. He also reported that all the necessary forms had been submitted. Trustee Donovan moved that the license for A & D Enterprises be renewed; Trustee Kindel seconded; approval was unanimous . The transfer of a 3-way license from LaCave to Pistachio's was next on the agenda. The- license for the former is held by Cramerus, Inc. and will be transFerred to Julia Kaemmer. The supporting evidence for the transfer can be found in the documents relating to the issuance of a Former license to Mrs , Kaemmer. This matter is clpsely related to the third item on the agenda; the transfer of stock in Casino Vaii. One hundred percent of the stock in the business The meeting convened as the Board of Trustees at 7:55 p. m. Mr. Minger explained that Charlie Penwiii, Recreation Director, was attempting to arrange For .the use of the pool at the Ptarmigan Townhouses by the recreation program. Maria Minick, who conducted the Red Cross program last year, would be the instructor. Trustee Donovan asked about liability insurance if an accident occurred in transporting participants to and from the pool. Mr. Robinson responded that the Town has a liability policy covering employees, In any case, the program is designed so that participants meet at the pool. Miss Hobart emphasised that there is a town. policy is being transferred to Gary Kaemmer from Mrs. Kaemmer and Steve Ruder. Mr. Robinson explained that section 17 (C){2) of the state liquor code related to transfer of stock. The proper farms have been filed and Marvin Eller of the State Department of Revenue has indicated that their agency has up to ten days to approve a transFer of stock. It was recommended by Mr. Robinson that the transfer of license to Julia Kaemmer be approved subject to the approval of the transFer of stock in Casino Vail. Trustee Donovan moved the transfer of license be approved subject to the state ruling; Trustee Bailey seconded; approval was unanimous . In regard to acting on the stock transFer, this is basically a state matter. However, the Board could express approval or disapproval. Mr. Robinson recommended approval. Trustee Donovan moved that the Board's approval of the stock transfer from Julia Kaemmer to James Gary Kaemmer be expressed; Trustee White seconded; agreement was unanimous. The Local Liquor Licensing Authority adjourned at 7:55 p. m. 1 1 ~ ~'~ • 4 which covers any vehicle being used on town business. Trustee White moved they authorize the agreement for the use of the pool; Trustee Donovan seconded; approval was unanimous. Mr. Minger distributed copies of several letters regarding the proposed parking structure: a letter from the highway department stating that they had no objections to the encroachment on their right;-of-way; a suggestion that savings could be made on materials if they were produced in advance in the winter off-season; a letter from Mr. Ream to one Mrs. Ritchie who had voiced some concern in the Vail Trail regarding the structure; a memorandum an a conference with Continental Trailways regarding their requirements within the proposed structure. A letter had also been received from Charles Gersbach regarding the sale or lease pos- sibilities on the Antholz property, and quoting the cast of various alternatives (see attached}. Trustee Donovan inquired regarding the acre awned by Mr, Miller adjacent to the Antholz property. Mr. Minger indicated that Mr, Gersbach had approached Mr. Miller and was informed that he is going to develop this property himself and the chances of his desiring to se~;l the acre to the town were slight. Now that the dollar figures have been received on the Antholz propert~•, the Board can have more specific work sessions regarding alternative plans to solve the parking problem, Mr. Minger acknowledged that he had received a letter from Roger Brown, repre- . stinting the Vail Homeowners Association, delineating several suggestions and complaints. The .matter of a different color for the Booth Creek water tank has already been taken care of; it will be similar to the color of the telephone building. In addition, a $7,000 landscaping and replanting project has been. undertaken at the site which has met with the approval of Ed Browning of the Forest Service. In regard to the undergrounding of the electrical wires, it will be a Board deci- sion as to how to proceed. Mr. Minger noted that some amendments should be made to the zoning ordinance; however, as the Chairman has resigned, perhaps thti question of the new members should bti settled before undertaking the changes. The road widening Mr. Brown refers to has been done only in ct^itical areas and is now completed, The possibility of snow rermval he suggests has been studied; however, it would increase costs five times. Trustee White suggested that the Homeowner's Association be asked to provide off-street parking . Mr. Minger noted that in certain places this type of parking is impossible; also, .many indivi- duals have requested that the road in front of their residence be widened. A meeting with the Association was suggested; in this way, doubts about the preva- lence of the attitudes expressed by Mr. Brown could be tested, Trustee Lang maid requested that the dead trees on Beaver Dam Road be removed. Mr. Minger indicated that such a program is being undertaken. -~ As there was na further business, Trustee Bailey moved the meeting adjourn; Trustee White seconded; passage was unanimous. The meeting adjourned at 8:15 p. m. r Tow ~ e k / lh Page 2 r~ MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE TOWN OF VAI L JUNE 27, 1972 A special meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vail was convened at 7;40 p, m. , June 27, 1972, in the Council Room of the Vail Municipal Building. Mayor John A. Dobson and the following Trustees were present: John Donovan C , E . Ted Kindel Joseph Lang,maid Josef Staufer Gerry White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Lawrence Robinson, Town Attorney • ,; ~ ; • • The first item on the agenda was the proposed. annexation to the Town of the Booth Creek subdivision. Representatives of Vail Associates were invited to present their plans and make comments . Mr. Nott noted that currently the area contains only the stables and the Katzos ranch house. As it is not the intent to establish the zoning at this meeting, he suggested that there be one more review by the Planning Commission of the subdivision maps and zoning and then that this action be scheduled for the meeting of July 18. He empha- sized that they are not conditioning annexation on the acceptance of a certain zoning plan. The reaps of the area were displayed and explained. Trustee Langm~zid recalled there had been a question whether the Town should accept the dedication of high lands for which there was no use. Mr. Natt noted that this question did not come within the subject of this meeting, but rather in the discussions of the zoning. As there were no other questions, Trustee White moved they adopt ORDINANCE NO. 11 (.Series of 1972}, AN ORDINANCE ANNEXING TO THE TOWN OF VAIL CERTAIN TERRITORY SiTUATED IN THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 4, THE SOUTH HALF OF SECTION 3 AND THE NORTH HALF OF THE SOUTH- WEST QUARTER OF SECTION 2, TOWNSHIP 5 SOUTH, RANGE 80 WEST pF THE 6TH PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, EAGLE COUNTY, STATE OF COLORADO; DETERMINING THE ELIGIBILITY OF SAID TERRITORY FOR ANNEXATION TO THE TOWN OF VAIL AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE MUNICIPAL ANNEXATION ACT OF 1966; AND SETTING FORTH DETAILS IN RELATION THERETO. Trustee Staufer seconded the motion. Trustee KiFidel abstained from voting on the motion. Trustees Donovan, Lang maid, Staufer, and White voted in favor; there were no votes against; the ordinance was adopted, effective 80 days following publication. Mr. Nott requested the maps be recorded and linen also be executed. Mr. Robinson agreed. Next presented was a resolution making July 2 through 9 the Tenth Mountain Division Week in the Town of Vail. Trustee Donovan moved the resolution be approved; Trustee White seconded; approval was unanimous. A memorandum had been submitted by Mr. Louis M, Parker requesting a clarifi- cation of the zoning ordinance, Mr . Rob inson noted that under a public accommo- dations zone, professional, service, and business offices and studios are allowed. Mr. Parker's request is for a printing office, Mayor Dobson inquired iP such a use were acceptable to the owners of the Mountain Maus, the building in question. Mr. Parker responded that as far as he knew this was the case. Trustee White stated that it seemed a logical interpretation of business office to extend it to printing . Trustee Donovan moved that the Board take the position that the use proposed by Mr. Parker in this particular case is acceptable under the zoning ordinance. Approval was unanimous. .. ~ ~ a Mr, Jim Bowers and Mr. Tom Obermeyer, planners representing Mr. Brady and Mr. Clancy who now own the Pulls property, were in attendance to report to the Board. Mr. Obermeyer displayed the drawings that had been done. Trustee Donovan noted that a small jutting piece of land which had been men-- boned in connection with a land trade was not shown on the maps; however, it was shown on some of the maps. Mr. Bowers stated that they were having a great deal of difficulty with avalanche prediction on the site. They were also concerned with the potential flooding from Gore Creek. Mr. Bowers mentioned that they understood that much of the wooded area on the site was to be dedicated to the Town. Mr. Bowers explained the proposed access plans. The major road on the site will run east and west. Ne suggested that it was a good idea to direct the traffic to the frontage road, across the golf course, rather than through the residential subdivision to the west. This could be aided by closing one road to through traffic and making the other one-way. These actions would affect the golf course operations. Also, the road along the golf course would- need to be coordinated with their development. A third question was whether the golf course clubhouse operation, if expanded, should be coordinated with the develop- ment. Their group was desirous of a meeting with the- Board of Directors of the Recreation District. This meeting could be scheduled for Wednesday, the 28th at 2:30 p. m. Mr. Bowers added that they were also interested in discussing the possible landscaping of the present utility scars . Trustee Kindel suggested it would be helpful to have shown on the maps the location of the present east- west road as well as the proposed road. Mr. Minger contributed that the present road is on Recreation District property, In response to a question, Mr. Bowers noted that they had not considered the' question of a land trade, but he was sure they would be amenable to such a transaction. They will be presenting the Board with more specific and expanded plans in Late July or early August. As there was no further business, Trustee White moved the meeting be adjourned; Trustee Langmaid seconded; the motion was unanimously approved and the meeting adjourned at 8:30 p. m. ~• l Town erk lh C~ • Page 2 ~~ a .. MINUTES REGULAR MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF VAI L JULY 18, 1972 A regular meeting of the Board of Trustees for the Town of Vail was convened at 7:.45 p. m. , July i8, 1972, in the Council Room of the Vail .Municipal Building. Mayor John A . Dobson and the following Trustees were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan C.E.Ted Kindel Josef Staufer Gerry White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Lawrence Robinson, Town Attorney • • The meeting was First convened with the Board acting as the Local Liquar Licensing Authority. The Vaii-Eagle Valley Rotary Club has filed an application for a special events permit for serving 3,2% beer on August 12 from 1Q a, m, •to 5.p. m. as a Fund raising event for the Vail Clinic. Mr, Robinson reported that he had checked the statutes and the applicable conditions had been me't, Trustee Kindel moved the special events permit be approved; Trustee Donovan seconded; approval was unanimous. The meeting was convened as the Board oFTrustees at 7:50 p. m. The minutes of the meetings of May 22, June 6, 14, and 20 had been previously submitted to the Trustees. Each member indicated he had read and understood 'these minutes. Trustee Bailey moved •that all of the minutes be approved; Trustee Donovan seconded; approval was unanimous , Trustee White, Chairman of the Charter Commission, reported that 'the public hearing would be on Monday, the 24th of July. It is currently anticipated that the Finished document will be presented to the Trustees on August 1 . In that case, the election will be early in September. Trustee Donovan indicated that he would like 'to see more than one public hearing, Although every meeting of this group has been open 'to the public, 'the attendance has been poor. Trustee Donovan 'though't more formalized hearings were needed. Mr. Minger suggested that 'the scheduling of any Further meetings be 'tied to the response to 'the first meeting. It was painted out that meetings have also been held with the Trustees, the VRA, and 'the Rotary. Trustee Kindel inquired if only the election date would be decided by the Trustees. Chairman White acknowledged that this was the case although, of course, •the docu- ment will be open to discussion at 'that time. ,~~,, Mr. Minger reported that meetings are going to be held with representatives of Cable TV and that a study committee has been s"ormed to enter into negotiations on rates in the near Future. Mr, Knox inquired iF the original Franchise included a time table for expanding throughout the valley. Mr, Minger indicated that only , within the corporate limits of Vail are they required to extend their service. Mr, Elias mentioned that the lodging committee of the VRA heel met with some aF the ofFicers of Cable TV and worked out a temporary agreement on rates 'to condominiums. They would withdraw their request for^ arbi•tration,. However, the meetings will still be held . The next item. on the agenda was 'the appointment of a new member 'to 'the Board df Zoning Adjustment and the Board of Building Appeals. Mr. Mitch Hoyt has resigned and the Boards have recommended that Gerald Hoyt be appointed . Trustee .Donovan moved that Mr. Gerald Hoyt be appointed 'to the Board of Zoning Adjustment and the Board of Building Appeals. Trustee White seconded. Approval was unanimous. Next to be considered was arequest -For the vacation.of a portion of the main parking lot. Mr. McLaughlin was present to represent Ernst Larese. He explained that, in =1 . f ~~ essence, Vail Associates has given away something that they did not have. Subsequent to the parking cot cease to the Town, they gave Peter Cramerus an option to purchase part of 'that property. Mr. Larese now wants to buy the Cornice building From Mr. Cramerus and also a portion of the ,land under option, although the actual option covers three times as much land as he is proposing to buy. He proposes to open a pancake house on the site 'to be open 24 hours a day. This would not be part of a chain. The portion of the land that he proposes to buy is not part of the present paved parking .lot r~or is it part of the greenbelt. The additional land is needed, in part, •to meet the zoning ordinance parking require- ment. A survey and building plans were presented. Mr. McLaughlin noted `that they had taken aquit-claim deed to a six-food section along Gore Creek, Drive in order to provide access. Mayor Dobson stated that this is a complicated question which must be studied by the Town Attorney and the Planning Commission. Trustee Donovan inquired what would be achieved if, in fact, Mr. Cramerus purchased in Fee simple, subject to the 48 years remaining on the :lease. Mr. McLaughlin conceded that i'~ would not achieve a great deal. He noted that the option will extend beyond the lease , Mayor Dobson opened discussion on the amendment of the sign ord finance, a draft of which has been prepared by the staff and will be presented at a later date. It is essential that the Town review the ordinance and the methods of enforcement. The Sign Committee should set policy and the enforcement should perhaps rest with the Building Department. Study meetings on the ordinance should be held. Mrs . Steinberg, Chairman of the Sign Reivew Board, inquired when 'these would take place; no date has been set as yet but hopefully the first will be within. ten days. Mrs, Steinberg emphasized that the present condition is one in which the Board feels totally ineFFectual with violations continually increasing. Trustee Kindel inquired who in the Town administration is .responsible for insuring that the instructions of the Board are followed. Mr. Minger replied that it is his responsibility and his only excuse For any matters overlooked was that there have been a great many other problems. Mr. Robinson thought that, in legal terms, the biggest problem would be 'to -Force individuals to remove signs that have already , been erected. Mrs. Steinberg noted -that their largest problems are signs currently being erected . In regard to the resignations of •the Board which had been submitted, ,Trustee White moved that the resignations not be accepted; Trustee Bailey seconded this motion. In reply to a question From Mrs. Steinberg as to what their Function should be until a new ordinance is passed, Trustee Kindel suggested they compile a list of viola- tions and send out letters of violation so as to have a complete record , Mrs , Steinberg mentioned that there could be many violations. that members of the committee had not noticed . Mayor Dobson noted that they would appreciate citizen comments on the ordinance. The Board needs to know what people do not under- stand or what they do not approve of. Mr. Knox suggested •that the Vail Trai! will do something in order to facilitate this communication. Also, copies of the existing ordinance are available in the Town Office. It was suggested that the kiosk idea be revived. AFter some discussion of posker violations, Trustee Donovan made the motion that a 'town employee be instructed to remove all violating posters and that a letter be sent 'to •the person responsible inForming him that a second violation will result in prosecution, Mr. Robinson noted that a complaint had been prepared against La Pinata which might put the community on notice that the sign ordinance will be enForced, Mayor Dobson inquired if any posters had been given the approval of the. Sign R..eview Board. Mrs, Steinberg responded that outside posters are never approved. Mayor Dobson noted that the board had before 'them a motion to instruct the stafF to remove immed- iately any posters or handbills that do not bear •the approval of the sign committee and continue to do so. Trustee Staufer abstained. Trustees Kindel, Donovan, Bailey and White were in Favor and the motion carried . Mr. Minger presented the first municipal court report prepared since Judge Gerard has been in ofFice, A case o~F note was No. 22, which was •the first time •tha•t the municipal court has been used to enforce the building code. The board had no changes to request in the Format of the report. Page 2 J~ .~ . i The County has asked Mr. Minger to be chairman aF a selection committee to find afull-time county planner. This project is funded by the State Land Use Commission. An informational point was that the county commissioners have suspended the granting of any new subdivision plats in areas served by UEVS until it is in a position to handle the increased load. This action has largely been a result of Senate Bili 35 requirements . This bill also requires that the plans for any development within a certain radius of a municipality be submitted 'to that body. It also supercedes the town's. subdivision regulations in some instances. Pepi Langegger has submitted a request to be allowed to run ahorse-drawn wagon through town in connection with a summer food operation at the Blue Cow. This is prohibited by ordinance. Mr. Langegger contributed. that the vehicles wilt operate on the outskirts of 'the village unless individuals staying in the core make reservations. There would be no charge for riding in the wagon. It was agreed that the wagon would need a sign; he should submit an application 'to 'the sign committee. No business would be solicited by this vehicle. Mr. Elias had objections to the operation of the vehicle inside of 'the core. He was also concerned as to who would clean up after the horses and about the danger of the horses kicking people . Mayor Dobson noted that as things are now, the proposal is fine; but the hours must be limited to x:30 to 9:00 p. m. and the permission is revobable depending upon any problems which arise. Trustees Kindel, Donavan, White and Bailey approved of this permission on a trial basis . Trustee S'taufer abstained . • Ma or Dobson noted that the Town Manager has been instructed to have a policeman y on duty From 7 p. m. to 2 a. m. in 'the core area. it was reported that the Town is in the process of installing a ceiling to improve the acoustics in the council room. Trustee Kindel suggested that a member of 'the staff be appointed to walk around the Town each day looking For minor, bu't troublesome, situations. Some thought will be given to this suggestion. The status of the negotiations regarding the Antholz property was asked. It is still being studied. Mr . Elias inquired if the property has been duly annexed; it has been. He Further inquired if it were the responsibility of the Town to police the area. I't is within 'the Town's jurisdiction. Mr. Elias' specific problem was that the Summervail Workshop had erected a bridge which he considered unsafe. Mr. Dobson indicated that the Town would inspect this bridge to insure that it was either safe or taken down. Returning to the status of the property, there have been meetings with the Manor Vaii Co. and also with Vai 1 Associates in connection with the development of the Northeast Bowl . Hopefully, within the next 10 days the details of the situation will be available. Mayor Dobson confirmed that there will be public meetings on the subject. As there was no Fur'the.r business, Trustee Donovan moved 'the meeting be adjourned; approval was unanimous; 'the meeting adjourned at 9:25 p. m. r Tow C k lh t Page 3 ..~ MINUTES REGULAR MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF VAI L AUGUST 1 , 1972 • A regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vail was convened at 7;50 p. m. , August 1 , 1972, in the Council Room of the Vait Municipal Building. Mayor John A . Dobson and the following Trustees were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan Josef StauFer Gerry White Terrell J. Minger, Town Manager, was also present. Trustee Charles E. Kindel had submitted his resignation on July 19. The Board accepted it with deep regret. Trustee StaUfer nominated Tom Steinberg to Fill the vacancy, Trustee White seconded. Mayor Dobson indicated that Dr. Steinberg would be asked to Fill the unexpired term. The Home Rule Charter was submitted to the Trustees. The election was set ~` for September 12, 1972. Trustee White, Chairman of the Charter Commission, pointed out several changes: 1°. Section 3.7 had been changed to reflect the Fact that you cannot hold securities, only interest, in a partnership or firm. 2. In Section 10.4, only improving and extending of utilities will not require an election; the acquisition of utilities will be only with an election. 3. a Line of succession had been added 'to Section 13.6. 4. throughout the charter, "regular" has been substituted for "general" in regard to the elections conducted by the Town. The voucher list For June, 1972, had been submitted to the Trustees. Trustee Bailey moved approval; the list was unanimously approved. The minutes of the meeting of June 27 had been previously sent to the Trustees. Trustee Donovan moved they be approved; Trustee Staufer seconded; approval was unanimous. Mr. Robert Howlett presented a proposal for the licensing of horse-drawn sleighs 'For the 1972-73 season. His group would like to operate a scheduled sleigh service to a restaurant about one mile west of Vail. They would also service Lionshead. • Each sleigh would have a capacity of 25 people; they anticipate us ing 5 sleighs. They would like to be licensed to k~e the only such facility in Vail; or they would propose a limit of 8 sleighs in Town. Mr. Howlett Felt that the quality of any one operation would decline if there were an unlimited number of sleighs. Trustee StauFer pointed out that the horses would create a cleaning problem for the Town of Vail while the restaurant operation would pay no direct taxes 'to the Town. Mr. Howlett felt, however, that it could create indirect revenue because it would draw people to Vail. Mayor Dobson suggested that Mr. Howlett submit a written proposal outlining what they would like to do, what their experience has been, what routes would be 'taken, etc. When this has been received, the Board will study the proposal and conceivably decide at the next meeting. Mr. Minger reported on the status of the employee retirement plan. The Town is considering working with the Prudential Life Insurance Company. Mr. Minger also reported on the Eagle County Housing Report prepared by Jerry Brown and a proposal from Mr. Artie Wachter 'to conduct a summer soccer camp in Vail next year. In regard to 'the former, it is available to the public through the Eagle County ofFices. Trustee Donovan objected to one of the conclusions of the report; however, it was emphasized that these had been written by-the planner no't the Town. A final point was to urge the public to attend the Vail Symposium to be held on the coming weekend. ,,J . A joint meeting with the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Recreation .District was convened at 8:20 p.m. Chairman Rod Slifer and the following members of the Recreation District Board were present: C.E. Ted Kindel Jerry Muth Gerry White Mr. Slifer explained 'that the Recreation District is in a position to consider additional bond funding. They have no dollar figure as ye't, but would like to have a discussion of priorities. One possibility would be the expansion of the go1F club. An expanded facility. couid.prpvide storage 'for golf .car'ts (Which generate 50% of the revenue of the golF course a't present} as weld. as provide expanded restaurant facilities which would hopefully be used in the winter. ~ An approximate cost would be $100,000, exclusive. of kitchen and dinging room equipment. If leased, a condition of the lease could be. to install this equipment. A second project might be the installation of an automatic sprinkling system on the golf course plus the finishing of some of the unfinished areas. Such a sprinkling system would save both man-hours and water; the entire project contemplated would cost approximately $100,000. A third proposal would be to install 3 new tennis courts south of 'the present ~-court complex. This would cost approxi- mately $40,000. A bubble for 2 tennis courts For the winter would cost approxi-• mately $40,000. IF there was the bonding capacity, it was suggested that an ice rink be attempted. In order to build, it would be necessary to obtain 'the land at no cost. Mr. Nott of Vail Associates noted that his Firm would be amenable to discussions on the matter. Mr. Bernstein, the finance director, reported that discussions with 'the operators of 'the Broad moor skating Facility had produced the information that: 1 , costs of operation 18 hours a day, 12 months a year ran $100,000 exclusive of debt service; 2. a professional ice skating manager For promotional activities is needed; 3. a rink might be paying for itself within two to three years. Mr. White stated that he felt such a facility would 'Fill the needs of young ,people under 18, especially if a game room were included in the ice rink. Mr. Slifer explained 'tha't the mill levy is currently 4 mills. As 'the tax base has increased substantially and the tennis and golf operations are now paying for themselves, the financing becomes possible. Mr. Lapin felt the Recreation District should look For a private group willing to undertake the same projects. Also, he would prefer a 20% reduction in the mill levy. He suggested that 'the cost of storing the golf carts as projected was excessive; rather the District • should store them in warehouses in Wolcott for a much lower cost per cart. However, Mr. Slifer noted this would not solve the problem of needed summer storage. In regard to a suggestion that portions of the building be leased to a private individual to handle storage,, Mr. Slifer responded that, as the Recrea- tion District leases the property itselF, this might create some problems. Mr. Lapin suggested that the new proposed tennis courts be done by Vail Associates, as 'they are contemplating courts at Lionshead. However, .as the District already runs 9 courts in the area .proposed, it is logical For them to run an additional 3. At the same time, private facilities elsewhere are needed. The possibility of over-building seemed remote when i~t was considered that the present golf and tennis Facilities can handle 500 or 600 people while there are 8,000 beds. There was some discussion of whether i't would be economically feasible to install lights on the present tennis courts, and whether the adjoining property owners would object. A study will be made of the factors .surrounding such a step. Trustee Donovan inquired if fishing was a priority of the Recreation District. He . noted that the Town owns or controls 4 miles of stream tract. Although the use of this asset would not provide direct revenue, it would provide customer satisfaction. Trustee Donovan felt it could be developed far a very reasonable cost. Walking and bicycling paths could also be developed . In regard to the argument that it would be difficult to do anything in the stream until construction is finished, he felt that if this argument is used nothing will ever be done. Trustee White pointed out that both Trout Unlimited and the Fish and Game Department had vetoed such plans in the past as they disrupted the natural quality of the stream. Page 2 Trustee Donovan suggested that if the stream were going to be disrupted by construction, that would be a good time to also disrupt it for improvements. Mr. Parker criticized the plans set Forth by the Recreation Board on the grounds that each of them involved more paving and building rather than the enhancement of the natural environment of Vail. He also felt that most oF'the things proposed were not for 'the benefit of the guest, .but rather for local residents. He would object to a continuance of the present mill levy unless the projects being funded were For 'the beneFit of the guest. Mr. Parker also thoug!-t that the proposal 'for an ice rink needed more study to show it to be financially prof=itable; if 'this v~ re the case, why had not private individuals entered the field'to build such a facility. He wondered if the guest would use the faci.lity... Also, whether children using the facility for hockey camps, etc. , would bring 4n the sarr+e revenues as adult guests . His comments were countered by audience reaction to 'the eFfect that the environment and the paying guest are not synonyrrmous; also, that many of the individuals who use ice rinks spend heavily on tf~e activity, Mr, Bernstein contributed that the cost of an Olympic size rink including equipment would run from $200,000 to $800,000. The amount of the subsidy would perhaps be $50,000 the First year, with the debt service being paid out of operating Funds, Chairman Slifer noted that they would break down the daily records of the golf and 'tennis facilities to ascertain the proportion of 'touris'ts and residehts using them . in response to a question regarding the areas in which the Recreation District could operate, Mr, Minger explained that with 4 governmental entities operating, a high degree of coordination and division aF function was necessary. Tn the division of functions, Mr. Minger saw the Recreation District as engaging in projects more traditionally "recreational." It is more logical for the Town 'to undertake bike paths, for example, because they control the greenbelt and also have wider resources. Trustee StauFer noted, in response to Mr. Parker, that Vail is a community in addition to being a resort. He would tike to see tennis courts just for local residents as welt as mare courts for the tourist. Mayor Dobson noted that the facilities of the Town also serve those who live outside i'ts boundaries. I~ is apparent 'that someone must build summer amenities; although attempts have been made to convince developers to provide these 'things, there seems to be tittle interest among them. Mr. Penwill suggested that a gymnasium idea be considered which could serve both physical and cultural needs. Mr. Lapin urged that the Recreation District undertake projects different from the activities they already provide. He also suggested that it would be illegal to have a bond issue at this 'time . In regard to a June 20 directive to firms along the green bait to erect a fence to protect same, Mr. Minger noted that two of the projects appear to be acceptable without the Fence. In the future, Fences will be required as a matter of course; in these particular examples, the projects were too Far advanced to enforce the requirement. Chairman S1iFer noted that there will not be a decision on these matters in the near future and that there will be more discussion of the points raised . As 't;here was no Further business, the joint meeting adjourned at i0:00 p. m. '~ Town C er lh • Page 3 •~~ MINUTES REGULAR MEETING BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF VAI L AUGUST 15, 1972 A regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of 'the Town of Vail was convened at 7:A~5 p. m. , August 15, '1972, in the Council Room of 'the Vaii Municipal Building .

The first application was for athree--way license For the Wild Mountain Inn 'to be operated by Nelson-Fick, Inc. Stewart Brown represented the applicants. The Town Clerk had received all 'the inForma'tion necessary under state statutes. Petitions on behalf of the license were in the fife. The applicants had been Fingerprinted, but no report had _I~een received frori~ the FBI. No witnesses appeared against the application. Mr. Daniel Nelson, Mr. Daniel Fick, Mr. Willis Wright and Mr. Tom Holley were sworn in by the Town Clerk. Mr. Nelson, the president of Nelson-Fick, lnc. , testified that 'the proposed restaurant would seat 90 people in 'the dining area and 60 to 70 in the bar. There is a deck area of 3500 square Feet where they would also serve. They had compiled a statistical study, submitted as Exhibit A, which indicated 'the growth potential of the area and the need for more restaurant facilities. Mr. Fick, Vice-President and manager in t>1e firm, testified that he had had experi- ence in restaurant operations . iVlr. Wrl ght testified that additional restaurant facilities are very much needed in the Lionshead area; Mr. Holley noted that the inadequacies in food service in the area in the past year led him to the same conclusion. There were no questions of the witnesses. Mayor Dobson indicated that a copy of the decision will be sent to the petitioners by certified mail within 30 days . Mr. Douglas McLaughlin represented 'the second group of petitioners Fora 3-way liquor license, Hyperboles, Inc. Their proposed restaurant would be known as Purcell's, There were no witnesses against the petition. Mr. John Purcell, Mrs. Diana Donovan, Mrs. Diane Lazier, Mr. tarries Collins and Mr. James Swift were sworn in by the Town Clerk. Mr. Robinson indicated that all the necessary Forms had been submitted, the fees paid, and the applicants finger- printed, although no FBI report had been received. Mr. McLaughlin submi't'ted petitions on behaiF of the license. Mr. Purcell, president and manager, testified that he had operated his own restaurant in Arizona in 'I967; in Vail he had worked a't Eagle's Nest and the Ore House. The firm had a 20-year lease on the premises from Mr. Lazier. It was Mr. Pu^ceii's opinion that the density of the Lionshead area warrants this type of restaurant. The bar and restaurant operations com- bined would seat 1'15-110 people. Mrs. Donavan testified that she is an officer and stockholder in the corporation and would be doing the bookkeeping for the business . Mrs . Lazier contributed 'that she is an of Ficer and s'tockhoider and would be assisting in various aspects of the business whenever the need arose, Both Mrs. Donovan and Mrs. Lazier felt a definite need .exists for this restaurant. Mr, Collins 'testified that, from working in the Lionshead area, he had found the presa~ t services inadequate and, given the new building in the area, there was a definite need For a business of this type, Mr. Swift likewise testified 'to the need for the facility. The Board wilt reach a decision within 30 days. The next matter on the agenda was an application 'For a beer and wine license For Charles White. Johanna White had been listed as a co-licensee on 'the original application, but this will be amended to omit her as she is not a United States citizen. Mr. Robinson noted that, aside From this change, all 'the requirements have been met. Mr. Charles White, Mr. Bob Lazier and Mr. Mike Solloway were sworn in by the Town Glerk. Mr. McLaughlin sub- mitted petitions on behalF of the license. Mr. White noted that he is the manager of Mid-Vail. If the License is granted, his wiFe will supervise during the day and he will supervise at night. He Felt 'there was a need For the deli- catessen-type operation he is planning. Mr. Lazier, the owner of the building in which the facility will be located, testified that he felt there exists a definite need for this type of operation. Mr. Solloway testiFied to this need from the standpoint of having been both a resident and tourist in the Vaii area. A decision will be made within 30 days on this application . The owners of She Productions had made application for a patio expansion. Mr. McLaughlin noted that a request For a change of name to Leroi's Public House has been sent to Denver. The major question to be answered beFore permission can be given is whether the land upon which the patio is located is controlled by Vail Associates. Mr. Nott of Vail Associates and Mr. Rosenquist, the owner of the building, appeared to have different views of the matter. Mr. McLaughlin inquired iF the Board would be willing 'to make a favorable decision pending the results of a survey. The Board declined to take such action. Rather, -they will make a decision when the question of ownership is resolved. The Bully III restaurant had made application For an expansion to the pool and a patio area. However, as there was no representative of the Firm- in attendance, no action was taken . The Local Liquor Licensing Authority was adjourned and the Board of Trustees convened at 8:30 p. m. The minutes of the meeting of July 1 S having been previously sent to the Trustees, Trustee Donovan moved they be approved; Trustee Bailey seconded; approval was unanimous. Requests had been received to consider the zoning of the Booth Creek area previously annexed and 'also to plat a portion oi=` the land, the '12th Filing. Mr. Nott stated that although the allowable FAR For MF zoning is .75 'to 1 , they have agreed, in writing, to limit the density to .4 to 1 in those areas zoned MF. The area zoned "A" in the eastern portion of the property will be. dedicated to 'the town as will the areas along Booth Creek and 'the northern area zoned "A." One of the meadow areas will be restricted to recreational uses and will perhaps be dedicated in the future. An additional area of "A" in 'the southeastern portion of the property wilt contain the stables.. An open space corridor will run From this area to the public and Forest Service lands and will be dedicated to the town. The construction will be done by individuals and small contractors. The. Town will be charged with enforcing the .4 to ~ iimi'tation. There might be a 3-year building requirement on the single lots. Th.e architectural requirements will be different from those in the Village; they may be more restrictive. The parcel. is zoned 40% "A." Tennis courts would not be built immediately; there is sill a question of the extent of Recreation District involvement. There was some discussion of 'the eFFects of the interstate construction on the present rodeo grounds . It was noted that even after the present highway is moved, the old route will remain highway right of way and, if -used, would afFect the green space proposed . Trustee Staufer moved the proposed zoning be accepted; Trustee Steinberg seconded. Trustee White abstained and Trustees Bailey, Donovan, Lang maid, Staufer, and Steinberg voted in favor, Mayor Dobson inquired if Ordinance No. 12 had been read and understood. Each Trustee indicated that he had. Trustee Steinberg moved that Ordinance No. 12, AN ORDINANCE ESTAB-- LiSHING THE ZONING FOR A PARCEL OF LAND SITUATED IN THE SOUTH- EAST QUARTER OF THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF SECTION 4, THE SOUTH HALF OF SECTION 3, AND THE NORTH HALF OF THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF SECTION 2, TOWNSHIP 5 SOUTH, RANGE 80 WEST OF THE 6TH PRINCIPAL MERIDIAN, EAGLE COUNTY, STATE OF COLORADO, THE SAME BEING THE SUBJECT OF OR[Di NANCE NO, ELEVEN (1 1), (Series of 1972), ANNEXING SAID PROPERTY TO THE TOWN OF VAIL; AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP F'OR THE TOWN OF VAIL; AND SETTING FORTH DETAI LS'RELATING THERETO, be adopted; Trustee Staufer seconded. Trustee White abstained; Page 2 Trustees Bailey, Donovan, Langmaid, Staufer and Steinberg voted in favor; there were no votes against. The map of the 12th Filing was explained . Trustee Donovan moved that 'the plat of 'the 12Th Filing be accepted as presented; Trustee Staufer seconded. Trustee White abstained; Trustees Bailey, Donovan,; Lang maid, Staufer and Steinberg voted approval. A letter had been received -From the Eagle County Trash Removal Company requesting a franchise. Mr. Lapin of 'this company explained that he felt a franchise would be beneficial both to his company and, the town; the assets of the Former would be protected and the latter could obtain rate protection through this means. Mr. Lapin described in broad terms 'the response to a question-- Haire his Firm had prepared . He suggested that there was a standard form of franchise that could be used . Also, he would like to have an answer by the winter season. Mayor Dobson noted that the Board will try to have an answer by October 1 . Mr. Bob Howlett had submitted a letter regarding his proposed sleigh operation which was read in Full. There were some questions regarding the legality of stables and house trailers in the town limits? the Town Attorney will check on the First point; house 'trailers are allowed in 'the town but they cannot be used overnight. Mr. Howlett contributed that they had considered alternate locations for these operations. Trustee Steinberg noted that a metal building would not be allowed inside the Town limits. In response to a question as 'to the .base of their operations, Mr. Howlett noted that there would be a booking oFFice in the 'town. However, this office would pay no sales tax. Trustee Steinberg objected 'to supporting a service which would provide no revenues for the town. Mr. Howlett noted that the people staying in Homestake on a package plan would, through 'this service, spend a couple of evenings in 'the 'town. .However, Trustee Steinberg was thinking of 'the people who go the other way and spend a couple of evenings outside of the town. Mr. Howlett noted 'tha't 'they would like to see the number of horse permits in town lirriited but that is the next step after obtaining the original approval for their project. He also maintained 'tha't an operation of 'the type proposed would produce indirect revenue for the 'town. They have not yet received permission from 'the Highway Department to operate on the frontage roads. Mayor Dobson noted that they have not received any other applications for horse services for 'the coming winter. He asked Mr. Howie'tt if they had any routes planned as yet. They would try to circumvent the care area. Mr. Howlett would like to have warning signs and also sleigh stops. The clean-up problem would be handled by stopping the sleigh each time it became necessary. Mayor • Dobson suggested that proposed routes and stops be submitted as soon as possible. Upon receipt of this inFormation, a decision will be made. In regard to the appointment of a new member to the Planning Commission, Trustee Staufer nominated Jim Slevin and Hans Weibel. Trustee Donovan moved that Mr. Slevin be appointed; Trustee White seconded; approval was unanimous. Mr. Minger explained that monies had been budgeted 'toward a town employees pension plan. It was proposed that this plan be done through 'the Prudential Insurance Co. Full--time employees who have worked one year would be eligible. The Town would contribute 5% of the salary of the individual and the employee could match this amount . I f an employee should leave , it could be taken as his personal plan. The total cost to the Town wcuid be $15,000 per year. A life insurance benefit is included in the plan. Mr. Robinson Further explained 'that the plan would be fully vested after ~ years. Mayor Dobson suggested that the 'technical questions be discussed at a later date. He stated that he 'thought it would be helpful in attracting quality employees. Further points were that approximately 25 to 30 people would currently be eligible; the cost would be shared with 'the special districts. A meeting open to interested parties will be i held on 'this matter. A request had been received for a parking variance for the Crowley residence . The need for a variance arose because i't is normally not allowable to back into a thoroughfare. Trustee Donovan moved that a variance be granted; Trustee Langmaid seconded; approval was unanimous . Page 3 Y ~~ - • J Mr. Minger presented the annual financial report For 1971 prepared by Mr. Bernstein. This shows both how monies were allocated and how they were spent. Copies are available in the Town C~FFice. He also called attention.to the monthly court report. Mayor Dobson noted that a report will be made shortly on progress regarding district and county planning. As there was no Further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:55 p. m.

Mayor John Dobson and •the Following Trustees were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan Joseph Langmaid JoseF StauFer Tom Steinberg Gerry White Also present were: Terrell J. Minger, Town Manager Larry Robinson, Town Attorney •: Discussion First centered on the question.of whether the town should contribute funds toward the construction of a school facility in the unFinished portion of the clinic. What portion of the cost the town should bear and who else should . contribute were also discussed, Mr. Minger noted that the monies would have to come out of the capital improvement Fund. There was general agreement that a contractual arrangement should be made if the money was donated. Trustee Steinberg moved that •the town bE committed to a maximum contribution of $6,000 conditioned on contributions From the Vail Clinic, Vail Associates and the County School Board on a negotiated basis and a use agreement with the clinic iF 'the space were to become available in the future. Trustee StauFer seconded the motion. Approval was unanimous. The Board next convened as the Local Liquor Licensing Authority. In regard. •to the application of the Bully III far an extension of the premises to a patio and pool area, Mr. Burke was asked how far the areas were from Gore Creek: Although he did no't have an exact figure, Mr. Burke indicated that there is a drive running between •the concret slab, which is already installed, and the bank of the creek. They would not be on the grass, sod, gravel or bank. There was general agree- ment to approve the extension providing it is on their own property. In regard to the request from LeRoi's Public House 'for an extension to a patio area, a map was shown which indicated that the patio is on the property owned by Mr. Rosenquist and not on Vail Associates' prnper~ty: Trustee Bailey moved •the application be approved; agreement was unanimous . In regard to pending applications for new licenses, a problem exists in that Mr. Lazier has not complied with the zoning requirement For parking. This compli- ance is contingent on the construction of a parking structure; until this is built , the buildings it is to serve cannot be occupied . There was some discussion of whether it is good policy to tie the issuing of liquor licenses to compliance with. zoning laws. Trustee White noted that the applicants should be warned •that even if the license is granted, it cannot be used until the parking is completed. Trustee Donovan suggested that denying the License would prevent the applicant from making a large investment in anticipation of its use. There was some question as 'to whether a person could re-apply before •two years iF the. license were denied. Mr. Robinson suggested that if the denial was on 'technical grounds only, this waiting period would not apply. Even iF the license were approved contingent on compliance with the zoning laws,'the state would .issue the License if the building were completed; it would be up to the town building inspector not •to allow occupancy of the building. Trustee White moved •that the license 'For Hyperboles, Inc. be approved subject •to mee'ting all aspects of •the zoning ordi- nance and building code; Trustee Steinberg seconded. Trustee Donavan abstained from voting; Trustees Bailey, Langmaid, StauFer, Steinberg, and White were in Favor; •the motion carried . ~~ t S A The application for Harvest Table encountered the same ctiFficulty as it is proposed to be Located in the same building owned by Mr. Lazier. Trustee White moved that the license 'For Charles Clifton White be approved subject 'to meeting ail aspects of the zoning ordinance and building code. Trustee Donovan abstained from voting; Trustees Bailey, Lang maid, Staufer, Steinberg and White were in Favor; the motion carried . In re and to the a lica'tion from Nelson-Fick, Inc. , Mr. Robinson noted that g pp he has asked Mr. Brown, their attorney, to show proof that one parking space is available For each ~ 000 feet of space in •the restaurant. No reply has as yet been received . It was noted that this parking must be within 300 Feet of the build- ing . If this parking were located in a public lot, a contract would ba needed which guaranteed them parking. After some discussion, Trustee Staufer moved that the license be approved contingent on compliance with the zoning laws and building code; Trustee Steinberg seconded. Trustee Donovan abstained from voting; Trustees Bailey, Lang maid, Staufer, Steinberg and White ware in favor; the motion carried . Each member of the board took note of the Fact that Toph's is changing ownership. Although the local authority must sign 'the form submitted, this signature appears 'to be only a recognition of what has been done . The meeting then convened as the Board of Trustees. The proposal from Mr. Howlett to operate a sleigh service was discussed.. The issue was posed as • whether the Board agrees conceptually with •the proposal; the' speciFics of routes, sanitary rules, etc. can be decided cater. Trustee'Staufer noted that he is against granting an exclusive permit. Trustee Donovan stated that he thought the permit should be for one year only. There was general agreement to give approval 'ta the concept of a sleigh operation. There was some discussion of whether a trash franchise would be desirable. Trustee Donovan asked that the staff draw up arc ordinance requiring container- ization of all garbage and determining the type of bag to be used . It was noted that a Mayor Pro Tem is needed. Trustee White nominated Trustee Donovan; the nomination was seconded and approval was unanimous . Trustee Lang maid noted that ~rhe new boxes installed by the electric company are in vio- lation of the zoning ordinance. Holy Cross will be approached on the matter. Another matter was that of the understaffing at the post office.. Information will be gathered on post office procedures and what the town can do in regard to 'the matter. Points of information included: 1 . 'the new building inspector will arrive on September 4; ~. the town is considering buying a Ginkelvan; 3. another meeting will be held with Cable TV in the. near future. Trustee Staufer brought up the question of controls on the employment agency in town; it was suggested that the •VRA address itself •to the subject. The Recreation District wa,ild like to begin construction of three new 'tennis courts contingent on the approval of the adjacent landowners . They plan to have a bond election later in the fall; at present, they would like the town 'to lean them the money to pay for the excavation and paving in anticipation of this bond issue. This would be $15,000 to $20,000. lVlr. Robinson suggested •than before any money is spent, the deed to the land from Vail .Associates should be obtained . As an aside, it was noted that 'the users of the. courts appear to be half residents and halF guests. Trustee White noted that the board. would work ~on ob'taining the deed. Trustee Steinberg suggested that Judge Gerard be invited to attend one of the meetings in 'the near future. An attempt will be made `to schedule this For the next meeting. A proposed list of judges and clerks for the Home Rule Charter election was presented and approved . As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned a~t 3:46 p. m. lh Page 2 q~ ,a~ ~ ~°' MINUTES SPECIA L.

Town of Vail and 'the Vail Planning Commission was convened at 10:30 a. m. , September 15, 1972, in the ConFerence Room of the Vail Municipal Building. Mayor John Dobson and the Following councilmen were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan Joseph L_angmaid Tom Steinberg • Chairman BoEa Clark and the Following members of the Planning Commission were present: Dave Gorsuch Jim Slevin Terrell J . Minger, Town Manager, was also present. The Mayor explained that 'the development plan for 'the Pulls property had been changed and that representatives of the planning group were present to explain the changes . A member of this group began his presentation with 'the statement that the reduction of densitties would affect adversiy 'the amount and quality of amenities 'that they could build. In the new plan 'the HDMF zones had been consolidated into one area with an F.A.R. of .75 to 1; 'the MF zone would have an F.A.R. of .5 to 1. A drawing of 'the i^ecrea~- tional facilities they propose was explained. In regard to the proposed amphitheater, it had not yet been determined who would own the Facility; the parking would be under the mall with additional parking gained through trade-oFFs with Facilities that were not in use at the same time. Although the proposed pool areas would not be private and for the use of only one building, it has not yet been determined whether they would supplement other facilities available in town. Trustee Donovan questioned whether they had reduced densities by including part of the land that Formerly was dedicated to the town in their calculations; the answer was afFirmative, 3 acres had been included, The population to be generated was estimated at 3000 in a little under 800 housing units. Mr. Minger noted that although the group was considering taking some of the green belt, they were building; amenities on this land. This could be valuable if an agreement were made that such amenities must be built. A representative of the group noted that commercial development would be of a type to support the area itself; shops, a restaurant, deli, etc. Another men-iber of the group interjected that 'the actual density would be lower than it appears because pools, etc. , are . included in the F.A.R. The convention Facility they are contemplating-would accommodate 700 to 300 people;tt would probably be handled by the hotel firm located in the area. The amphitheater would be for the summer only; an open-air Facility. Councilman Bailey stated that he would find i't necessary.to abstain from any vote or discussions on this particular matter as Slifer .and Company are agents For Vail Valley, Inc. ~ - . Mayor Dobson noted that the public hearing had been re-scheduled for October 17. As there were no further questions, at 'this juncture the planning. group left 'the meeting. Mr. Minger gave his view that i't was a very good idea to trade the open space far amenities built by 'the developer rather than the 'town. Mr. Slevin suggested that an attempt be made to lower the density by 1/3 while keeping these amenities. Mayor Dobson concurred 'Sha't 'the town cannot s_ •e i indefinitely provide amenities For developments. Councilman Donovan disagreed; he thought the expense of 'the amenities to 'the 'town would be worth i't iF the density could be lowered by 1500 or 1000 people. Mr. Minger noted that as the property is now zoned, the same density as proposed in the new plan is allowable, while the amenities have not been provided. Councilman Steinberg noted that X000 beds would probably exceed the number of additional skier beds needed . Mr. Clark noted that the developer would need amenities to sell his project. He suggested that they be allowed to keep portions of 'the .areas zoned "A," bu't 'that 'these areas remain "A" zoned, allowing 'the building of amenities only. Council- man Langmaid suggested that money be required in an escrow account that would guarantee the building of these Facilities. Mr. Slevin reiterated that, he thought it would be Financially possible for the developer to reduce the densities and still build the amenities . Mayor Dobson suggested that when a definitive maximum were set For skier capacity, much aF the reduction of planned density would occur automatically. Mr. Minger noted that a first step might be for Vail Associates to present their Mountain Master Plan to the group. Also, it might be appropriate to comment 'to the Forest Service on the desires of the town as related 'to developments on the mountain. Ernst Lanese had submitted a plan for parking at the Cornice Building. Problems existed in that the cars would have to back onto Gore Creek D .rive and also he did not have the required aisle width. Councilman Steinberg suggested that to avoid the danger of backing, he be encouraged to have fewer spaces and have a pull-through driveway. Mr. Minger suggested 'that this be considered at the meeting on Tuesday night. Additional items brought forward included: 1 . a check should be made that all restaurants have their air vents elevated; 2. the rule that all parking lots be paved should be more strictly enforced; 3 , four new planning commission members need to be appointed; 4, a problem with speeding exists on Beaver Dam Road which the police should undertake to handle; 5. members of 'the Council might be interested in protesting 'to the Cour~'ty Planning Commission the approval aF a KOA carr~pground near Dowd Junction with many safety ar~d other hazards . Mr . Minger noted that by law the town is entitled to com- ment on any proposed subdivision w ithin two miles of 'the town boundaries. The administrative s'tafF has set up a procedure for the review of all plats, There was general agreement that these reviews should be conducted and letters sent with the findings 'to the County Planning Commission. Perhaps proposals outside the two-mile radius could also be reviewed. Mr. Lamont added the point of information that the state now enforces the Uniform Build- ing Code and issues building permits. Mr. Clark suggested that a meeting be head with the variance board, especially 'to discuss the set-back variances that were granted in Lionshead. Mr. Minger noted that he has instructed 'the new building inspector not to take a ma't'ter to this board unless a real hardship, other than Financial, exists. A request for an F.A.R. variance had been received for the Williams residence. Mayor Dobson noted that the bulk is already in existence in the farm of a garage and that parking is available elsewhere. A decision on this matter can be reached at the Tuesday meeting .

Mayor John A. Dobson and the following councilmen were present: Richard Bailey Tom Steinberg Joseph Lang maid Gerry White Chairman Robert Clark and James Slevin of the Planning Commission were present. Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Stanley Bernstein, Finance Director Kent Rose, Town Engineer There was some discussion of the possibility of obtaining a Ginkelvan.. More speciFic discussions of cost, timing, etc. will be held later. Mr. Robert Royston, an architect, was present for the work session.. If his firm were selected to do a master plan, he would utilize the services of a specialized planning firm. After presenting his impressions of Vail, Mr. F~yston responded to questions 'From the group. He acknowledged that bike- ways along the stream might not be passible in the central and core areas of the village. Mayor Dobson noted that even a narrow Footpath would be desir- able. Mr. Royston suggested that, at least; trees could be planted in such a way as to make the main entrance to Vail more attractive. In regard to the proposition that areas be set aside for automobiles, .it was asked how such limits could be enForced. Mr. Royston was of the opinion that it would be more diFficult to convince the residents to use these areas than the visitor; the latter could be attracted to them by proper advertising. Also in regard to parking, Mr. Royston Felt that the present main parking lot would be the logical place for a structure; in addition, that a traffic study might reveal currently unperceived possibilities. A discussion of bicycle paths brought out that the possible cast might be appr.oximateiy $8,000 per mile. Mr. Minger stated that his goal was to master flan the entire town in terms of services, facilities, etc.; to discover what is desired, how much it wi~il cost, wf'~t new ordinances and- provisions are needed, what new sources of revenue such as a condominium tax ar an additional ohe, cent sales tax might be needed. Councilman White noted that he would like to see the town com- mitted to some projects this fall; bicycle and pedestrian paths, tree plantings, etc. Mr. Royston noted that it would be feasible to expect a completed plan within approximately 6 months aFter a decision has been made. Councilman White stated that he felt public work sessions should be held to discover what was desired in the plan. It was suggested that a presentation should be made to structure the meetings, but that, care should be taken in the type of presen- tation given. There was general agreement •that the development of a master plan should be undertaken. There was discussion of the desirability and feasibility of an increased sales tax; also of the possibility of obtaining monies and trees for replanting from the Highway Department. Mr. Royston noted that the cost to the Town, if his firm were hired for the job, would be reduced if a sharing arrangement could be worked out with the County. However, it was agreed that this might unduly delay the project. IF this sharing were not contemplated, the cost could-run between $2.5,000 and $0,000 to produce a good preliminary master plan. Typographical information, aerial photographs, as-built plans, etc. will be needed from the Town. N1r. Royston would also be wo~^king on the zoning ordinance in con3unction with the development of this plan.. He will present a formal pro- posa 1 within the next month . As there was no Further discussion, the meeting adjourned at.4:30 p. m.

Mayor John A. Dobson and the following councilmen were present: Richard Bailey Joseph Lang maid Thomas Steinberg Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Lawrence B . Robinson, Town Attorney • • • The meeting was first convened with the Council acting as the Local. Liquor Licensing Authority. Bridgewater Inn, Iris. had filed 'far a beer, wine and liquor license, the premises to be located in part of the Liensquare Lodge, Lot -1, Vail Lionshead, First Filing. Town Clerk Minger noted that the necessary information had been received and` the necessary Fees paid . Mr . Robinson noted that there were no negative findings repdrted by the police department. Some lette~^s had been received in favor of the application; no letters against the application had been received. The Mayor read the Colo- rado statutes applicable to the hearing. Mr. S. Douglas McLaughlin appeared representing the applicant. Hc~ presen'ted to the Council. three petitions in favor of the application. Mr. McLaughlin also asked 'the Council to take note of the previous licenses granted in the area and the testimony previously given as to the statistics of the area. Town Clerk Minger swore in Mr. William John Monsour, Mr. William James Cunningham, Mr. Warren E. Klug and Ms. Jane Madeleine Feller. Mr. Cunningham testified that he is a 50% owner in the restaurant corporation and also a general and limited partner in the firm which developer the property. The lodge in which the restaurant is proposed to be located has an overnight capacity of 400. Mr. Cunningham has no restaurant experience and will function basically as an investor in the corporation. There are 78 parking spaces above ground and 58 spaces under- ground at the location. The fact that some oF'the lodging Facilities near the premises will have no restaurant facility was cited as demonstrating the need for the facility. Mr. Cunningham is nat an officer of 'the carpora'tion; he is a member of the board. He is over 21 and has. never committed a felony. Mr. Monsour testified that he is a 25% owner and also the President and Treasurer of the Bridgewater Inn, Inc. He will be the manager of the proposed restaurant. He gave his experience in the restaurant business, including the fact that he has a degree in hotel. and restaurant management. They propose a 30-seat cocktail lounge and a 70-seat dining facility. It is hoped they can stay open 12 months a year. Mr. Monsour noted that the health inspector had reviewed their plans and suggested some changes, which will be made. He is aver 21 and has never committed a felony. Mr. Klug is the operations manager of the Lionsquare Lodge . He is a 25% stockholder and secretary of 'the corpor- ation. He is also a member of the Board of Directors. It was his opinion that, as there will be over 1700 beds in the Lionshead area, there is a demonstrated need for the restaurant. He is over 21 and has never committed a felony. Ms. Feller testified that she is a secretary and reservationist For Lionsquare Lodge. From her experience working in the area, she feels there is a need for the faci li'ty. As there were no further questions of 'the witnesses, Mr. McLaughlin asked that the license be granted to Bridgewater Inn, Inc. Mayor Dobson stated that the decision will be given in writing within 30 days and a certified copy will be mailed to the applicants . The Local Liquor Licensing Authority adjourned at 8:15 p. m. r~ a C~ ~J The meeting convened as the Town Council at 8:15 p. m, -The First item on the agenda was the ratification, as required by the Home Rule Charter, of the positions of Town Manager, Town Attorney and Municipal Judge and their incumbents, Mr. Minger, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Gerard. Councilman Steinberg moved that the positions be ratified; Councilman Bailey seconded; ratification was unanimous, The Town Manager next ratified certain town employees: Linda R. Hall, Tawn Clerk; Mike DiMiceli, Police Chief; Stanley F, Bernstein, Director of Finance and Administration; Kent Rose, Town Engineer; Jerry Aldrich, Chief Building OFFicial; Pete Burnett, Superintendent of Public Works; James Lamont, Administrative Assistant to the Town Manager. Mayor Dobson explained the proposed leasing of private property 'For parking facilities for the forthcoming winter. The Council was poised as to whether they had read and understood the ordinance; Councilman Lang maid answered that he had, Councilman Bailey answered that he had; Counciiman Steinberg answered that he had. Councilman Bailey moved that Ordinance No. 10 (Series of '1972) AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE TOWN OF VAI L TO LEASE CERTAIN PRIVATE PROPERTY WITHIN THE TOWN OF VAIL TO BE USED AS A MUNICIPAL PARKING FACILITY; DETERMINING THAT SAID REAL PROPERTY SHOULD BE EXEMPT FROM A L L AD VA LOREM REA L PROPERTY TAXES; AND SETTING FORTH MATTERS AND DETAILS IN REI~TION THERETO be published;.Councilman Steinberg seconded; approval was unanimous. An ordinance regarding the uniform building code was next considered. Mr. Aldrich explained that the term "Loft" is not defined in this code and the definition for "mezzaine" does not cover the case adequately. Thus, the purpose of the ordinance is to define "loft" and how it should be treated. Mayor Dobson indicated that he thought the ordinance should be studied before the second reading. The Council was polled as to whether 'thEy had read and understood the ordinance; Councilman Lang maid indicated that he had; Councilman Bailey indicated that he had; Councilman Steinberg indicated that he had. Councilman Lang maid inquired whether the provision 'For shaft ventilation only applied to new buildings; the re--construction required would make it difPicuit to enforce for already constructed buildings. However, a new health ordinance could remedy some of the existing problems, Council- man Steinberg moved that Ordinance No. 14 (Series of 1972) AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 6 (series of 1971) REFERRING TO THE UNI- FORM BUILDING CODE AND MAKING ADDITIONS THERETO; AND SETTING FORTH DETAi LS IN RELATION TO THE FORE.GgING be published; Council- man Langmaid seconded; approval, was unanimous, Mr. Minger explained that each year at this time 'the Town has a cash flaw problem and the need to borrow funds arises, lvlr. Robinson suggested that this could be adopted as an emergency ordinance; however, the Council was hesitant to use an emergency ordinance unless it were absolutely necessary. As the need was not that critical, it was agreed to treat the matter in a regular ordinance, Councilman Lang maid indicated that he had read and understood the ordinance; Counciiman Baiiey indicated that he had read and understood; Councilman Steinberg indicated that he had read and .understood . Councilman Bailey moved that Ordinance No. .15 {Series of 1972) AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING MUNICIPAL BORROWING OF -MONEY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $75, 000.00 TO SU~'P CEMENT THE GENERAL REVENUES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1972; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND TOWN MANAGER TO EXECUTE SHORT TERM NOTES TO EVIDENCE SUCH INDEBTEDNESS FOR MUNICIPAL PURPOSES; AND SETTING ,FORTH-MATTERS AND DETAILS IN RELATION THERETO be published; Councilman Steinberg seconded; pas~- sage was unanimous. Next on the agenda was consideration of a proposal to conduct a summer soccer and training camp in Vail. Mr. Wachter of the Rocky Mountain Soccer Associa- tion is proposing to hold his camp in Vaii in July or August. It would extend over athree-week period, on week-days only. He would arrange his own lodging and food Facilities. The Town would provide the soccer Field. Although Page 2 ry°` the Vail soccer team is in favor of the arrangement, there could be some problems with conflicting demands for the use of the Field. There was same discussion of whether the Town should charge for the use of the field. However, charging for the field might increase the currently low cost to the student. Mayor Dobson suggested that Mr. Minger negotiate with Mr. Wachter about details; a Firm decision will be made at the next meeting. A letter had been received From Eagle-Piney conFirming their request for $1 ,000 per month for the forthcoming year. As this had already been refer- red to the budgetary sessions, no action was needed. Mr. Minger reported that Vail Associates had agreed to spend $15,000 Far a study of 'the District Planning Area extending from the top of Vaii Pass to Woicot~t. It is possible that the general grant made by the Town of Vail to the County for planning purposes should be allocated 'to this more specific project. In the selection process For a County Planner, the field has -been narrowed to 5 individuals. The names of the individuals who have applied 'for a position on the Town Planning Commission were read. The selection will be made on October 17, with applications being accepted until October 10. Mr. Minger reported that Mr. Jay Peterson had been hired to codify the ordinances. All ordinances are being evaluated in light of the Home Rule Charter to determine whether they are necessary and desirable. In regard to the up-coming budget preparation, each department has been requested to submit a report on their goals and objectives , In this way, it can be ascertained that the goals are in agreement with one another. A process through which all proposed construction wilt be considered has been estab- lished. In this manner, it is hoped to provide better direction and control over development. Mr. Nott of Vaii Associates commented that he thought the change to be a beneficial one. At this paint, Mr. No't't explained a problem his firm has encountered; they are anxious to plat the 13th Filing; however, there is no Planning Commission at present before which they can make their presentation. He suggested that some of the previous members of the Plan- ning Commission be polled by the Council and the hearing .proceed before the Council. Mr. Robinson noted that the final plat had no't been received until September 20. Also, na~tice had never been given of any of the meetings that had been held. As a result of these factors, it could not be maintained that the matter had been sufficiently considered. Mr. Robinson suggested that a tentative date be set for the hearing in anticipation of the appointment of the new members of the Planning Commission. Mr. Nott was agreeable to this suggestion. Mr. Minger reported that Mr. Edeen, the sanitarian, is preparing an ordinance that will require after-burners to be used in restaurants to prevent odors. In regard to the program to lower speeding abuses in the Town, it was noted that it may be necessary to purchase a speed gun. The cost and availability of this equipment will be investigated. Mr. McLaughlin suggested that bicycle speed- ing also be investigated. Additional reports concerned: 1 . the pirate ship playground is nearing completion; 2, the new police uniforms and bicycle patrol have received much publicity; 3. a suggested outline for a town brochure has been prepared; 4. the Council is considering the development of a lorig- term master plan for :the town. There was some discussion of whether the Vail Trail meets the requirements for legal publication;- this will be investigated. Although the formal hearing is not scheduled until the next meeting, Ernst Lanese presented a revised parking proposal for the, Cornice building. Mayor Dobson indicated this would be studied . The minutes for the meetings of September 15 and 5eptemb.er 19. had been previously submitted 'to the Council; Councilman Bailey moved they be approved; Councilman Steinberg .seconded; approval was unanimous. As there was na further business, Councilman Steinberg moved the meeting adjourn; Councilman Bailey seconded; adjournment was at 9:25 p. m. Town Clerk Page 3 ,,, ~ ,.: MINUTES WORK SESSION TOWN COUNCI L OF THE TOWN OF VAI L 0CT0E3ER 6, 1972 [7 A work session of the Town Council of the Town of Vaii was convened at 10:30 a . m . , October 6, 1972 , in the ConFerence Room of the Vail Muni- cipal Building. Mayor John A. Dobson and the Following Councilmen were present: Joseph Lang maid Tom Steinberg Gerry White • r~ L • Also present was Terry Minger, Town Manager Mr. Clancy and Mr. Brady, the new owners of the Pulls property, presented their current pions For development. Items noted included: 1 . they will be doing considerable repiantings of trees; 2, the first phase aF their project will be condominium townhouses to be started next May; 3. They have closed on the property and formed a partnership as the development entity; 4. Gerald Phipps would be the contractor; 5. the current zoning of the property was requested by the former owners. The developers pointed out that as the property is currently zoned, $00,000 square feet of building area is available . In their proposed rezoning they have consolidated the HDMF area and reduced the area to be donated to the Town 'to 4 acres, all of which is unbuildable even for amenities. The developer would be willing to build amenities on the formerly dedicated land that they propose to retain. This retained land would be included in their calculations of F.A,R. Discussion centered on several points: 1 . the road system and the status of the gaff course maintenance road; 2. a possible land trade between property For the proposed amphitheater and land For golf course parking; 3. a possible rope tow/beginners liFt or sledding run in the far south-eastern portion of 'the property. The developers noted that they might not want to dedicate the roadway areas to the Town. The management association 'for the common areas in the development would be responsible For the maintenance of the roads in that case. Councilman Steinberg suggested that, even if no't dedicated, they would have to be removed from the density calculations. As the developers were not certain oF'the density of the proposed project iF all potentially dedicated areas were removed, Councilman Steinberg suggested that such a Figure be calculated before the next meeting. There was some discussion of whether the mountain can handle the number of people contemplated as a result aF this development. Councilman White suggested that the developer dedicate to 'the town the amount of land originally contemplated and then lease From the town to build the recrt a- tional Facilities. Councilman Steinberg was of the oQininnthat the dedicated land should not be used for the F.A.R. The developers reiterated that iF'the sand was not available for the F . A , R . ,they could nor afFard to build the amenities. Mr. Clancy and Mr. Brady indicated that they were willing to contract to build the amenities; also, 'they would contract to the F.A.R.'s of , 5 to 1 and .75 to 1 . They will not be selling the property to other developers. Further discussion led to the topic of the need for a PUD provision stating that when "x" units were built, "xt' amenities would also be completed under penalty of ceasing construction. General agreement -was reached 'that the desirable situation would be for the land to be dedicated to the Town and then leased to the developer for the construction of amenities. Whether this land would be calculated in the F.A,R, needs to be negotiated, The amount of land in roadways and dedicated open space which they would like to include is 360 , 000 square feet. The need 'for co-ordination between the health club operation and the golF club was discussed, as was the. need for a guarantee of public use of all the amenities . .~' ~ a N •~~' V~ • Mayor Dobson stated that he felt a bad precedent would be set if the developer were allowed not to dedicate the roadways and received an F.A.R. credit for them; there was general agreement with this statement. If their desire ,was to have the roadways maintained at a higher level than those in the rest of the town, they could always give the Town extra monies to accomplish this end. Councilman Lang maid noted that another danger would be that a group of property owners might decide to close a thoroughfare if these were in private ownership. Mr. Minger noted that perhaps not al! necessary preparations would be completed prior to 'the meeting scheduled For Qctober 1 T. In addition, several councilmen would be absent For that meeting. IF the meeting were held, i•t would be doubtful that any decision could be made. The developers were preFer to agree on the 17th that they would build "x" amenities in exchange 'For "x" amount of building square footage. Mr. Minger cautioned that the potential legal problems are going to take some timE to work out. It was suggested that they could begin work on 'their Phase I wi'thou't complete agreement reached as it is aloes-density area. Councilman White calculated that the 260,000 square feet of dedicated land for which they are asking credit would allow the developer to accommodate 300 to 400 more people. Although this figure may not be exact, there was general agreement that this is the Figure which is needed before a decision is reached. Mayor Dobson added that another point .of negotiation could be in regard to the uses around the go1F clubhouse. There was some discussion of irvhether the meeting schedulECl for the 17th should be held . It was decided that meetings between the .attorneys should begin immediately; that discussions should be held with the Recreation District Board and 'that meetings should continue with the Council and Planning Com- mission. There will be no hearing on the 17th. • As there was no Further business, the meeting adjourned at 12;20 p. m. ..r-.~'.._- ~ ~~ _ Town Clerk • :~ Page 2 MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING TOWN COUNCi L OF THE TOWN OF VAT L OCTOBER 12, 1972 A special meeting having been requested by the Town Manager, 48-hours written notice duly delivered to each member stating that the agenda would be 'the appoin'tmen't of a new member to the Board o~P Zoning, Appeals and Examiners for the Town of Vail, said notice having been posted in 'two public places, a speciai meeting was convened at 8:45 a. m. , October 12, 1972, in the Conference Room of the Vaii Municipal Building. The following Councilmen were present: John Donavan Joseph Lang maid Tom Steinberg Gerry White Also present was Terrell Minger, Town Manager. The individuals who had submitted applications for the vacancy were: Gordon Pierce, Mauri Nottingham, Hermann Staufer and Ray Yates . Discussion centered on the characteristics desired in the individual appointed, given that this board makes the final decision except in cases of parking variance requests. It was also noted -that perhaps this board needs a little more direction from the Council. Councilman White moved that Mauri Nottingham be appointed to fill the vacancy on the Board of Zoning, Appeals and Examiners; Councilman Donavan seconded; Mr. Nottingham was unanimously appointed. There was some discussion of the qualifications of the several applicants for the Planning Commission vacancies. It was suggested 'that when the decision is made on October 17, it be done by a balloting method. The need to establish the Environmental Commission was also discussed.

Mayor John A. Dobson and the following Councilmen were present; Richard Bailey John Donovan Joseph Langmaid Josef StauFer Tom Steinberg Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Lawrence Robinson, Town Attorney The first item to be discussed was a summer soccer camp proposed for Vail next summer. Mr. Wachter conducted a camp in Summit County last year with an enrollment of '120 boys From ages 8 to 19. If the camp were held in Vaii, he would make his own arrangements For lodging and food service . Last year the charges were $85 per week, unless 'the boy lived in the area, in which case i•t was $25. Mayor Dobson noted that 'the main question of the Council was what fee should be charged 'for 'kF~e use of the field. Mr. Wachter noted that last year his proFit came to $1 .58 per boy. The hours of use of the Field were from 9.:00 a. m. to 11 :15 a. m.; From 2:15 p. m. to 4:30 p. m. and from 6:45 p. m. to 8:30 p, m. The charge for the field the previous year had totaled approximately $50.00 a week. He would like to conduct the camp in late July or early August. Councilman Langmaid noted that night use of the field might not be possible; however, Mr. Wachter felt the hours were flexible. Mr. Penwill contributed that he thought the Vail soccer program could be worked around the other use of the field. Councilman Donavan moved that the camp be allowed to use the field For $50 per week, not to exceed $150; Councilman Bailey seconded; Councilman Staufer abstained; Councilmen Bailey, Donovan, Langmaid, Steinberg and Dobson were in Favor . Mr . Minger will meet with Mr . Wachter to work out the details of the arrangement. Ord finance No. 13, AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE TOWN OF VAI L -I"O LEASE CERTAIN PRIVATE PROPERTY WITHIN THE TOWN OF VATL TO BE USED AS A MUNICIPAL PARKING FACILITY; DETERMINING THAT SAID REAL PROPERTY SHOULD BE EXEMPT FROM A LL AD VA LOREM REAL PROPERTY TAXES; AND SETTING FORTH MATTERS AND DETAILS IN RELATION THERETO, was introduced on second reading. As there were no questions or objections, Councilman Donovan moved Ordinance No. 13 be adopted; Counciln-ian Steinberg seconded; approval was unanimous. Ordinance No. 14, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 6 (Series of 1971) REFERRING TO THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, 1970 EDITION, DELETING PORTIONS OF SAID UNIFORM BUILDING CODE AND MAKING ADDITIONS THERETO; AND SETTING FORTH DETAILS TN RELATION TO THE FOREGOING, was introduced on second reading. ' lvlr. Robinson noted that, in addition 'ta the amendments already proposed, the First line and first 2 wards in Section 2 should be deleted. Councilman Bailey moved the amended ordi Hance be adopted; Councilman Donovan seconded; passage was unanimous . Ordinance No. 15, AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING MUNICLPAL BORROWING OF MONEY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $75,000.00 TO SUPPLEMENT THE GENERAL REVENUES F/'OR THE FISCAL YEAR 1972; AUTHORIZING . ~. -. THE MAYOR AND TOWN MANAGER TO EXECUTE SHORT TERM NOTES TO EVIDENCE SUCH INDEBTEDNESS 'FOR MUNICIPAL PURPOSES; AND SETTING FORTH MATTERS AND DETAILS I N RELATION THERETO, was introduced on second reading. As there were no questions or objections, Councilman Steinberg moved the ordinance be adapted; Councilman Bailey seconded; approval was unanimous, Next on the agenda was a request for a parking variance for the Carnice Building. Mr. McLaughlin, representing Ernst Larese, noted that they were of the opinion that the change in character to a restaurant operation would lessen the burden currently placed on the main parking lot. Mayor Dobson indicated that the Council would like the police chief to look at the proposal; there was still concern that people would back onto the main thoroughfare, as only one car could pass through the d~^cveway at a time. When this traffic report has been received, a decision wil! be made. The list of applicants For the Four vacancies on the Planning Commission was read. Each Councilman indicated the four members he would prefer and sub- mitted these names to the Mayor for 'tallying . The Mayor noted that this procedure is the simplest one; however, he was sure 'that each Cauncilrrian would be willing to reveal how he voted, if requested. The First ballot resulted in a tie between Mr. Weibel and Mr, Pierce; on the second ballot, Mr. Pierce received the higher vote. Councilman Donovan moved that Mr. Pierce, Mr. Lapin, Mr. Wright and Mr. Sage be appointed 'to the Planning Commission effective immediately; Councilman Bailey seconded; approval was unanimous. A resolution apposing the passage of proposed Constitutional amendments 7 and 12 was next presented. Mr. Minger explained that each of these amendments, the Dean amendment and the Common Cause amendment, dea It with the property tax, Both of them pub a limit of 50 mills on the tax; of this amount 37.5 mills would be allocated among the county, muni= cipalities and special districts. The formula for this allocation is not stipu- lated. Also, because these are proposed as provisions of the Constitution rather than 'statutes, they would be very difficult to change if Found unwork- able . Another objection was 'that they take the control from the local govern- meats and put it in the hands of the state, The arguments in Favor of the proposals all center on the fact that the property tax is mis-used, A-Fier further discussion, Councilman Lang maid moved the resolution be adopted; Councilman Donovan seconded; adoption was unanimous. The resolution will be published. Mr. Minger noted that 52 people have already indicated their interest in reserving a parking space in the main lot for the winter. This brings up the issue of the parking policy for the winter. The administrative s'tafF has considered the possibility of charging for any use of this area; the rationale is not to use it as a revenue source, but: rather to force the most productive use of this heavy-demand, close-in space. Otherwise, people wil! leave their car as long as four or five days. Further discussion brought out the viewpoints that: 1 . such a move might benefit the businesses in Lionshead to the detriment of the core--area businesses; 2. the lot is too much used for employee, rather than guest, parking; 3, free parking up to 2 hours should be provided for 'those who are shopping; 4. rental cars should be handled by the rental companies oFF the main parking. lot; 5. YM plates should be parked in a separate lot and banned from the main Lot on week- ends, e'tc.; 6. employees should be required •to park on the Antholz property with good shuttle-bus service provided; 7. neither customers nor skiers should be charged for parking; 8. there is not enough parking available to accommodate ail skiers. Mayor Dobson suggested that at the next meeting the discussion begin with an outline of exactly what spaces are available and where, Failawed by a comparison aF what has been previously available, what is needed, and what the possibilities are of providing shuttle services. The meeting will be publicized as for this purpose. Mr. Robinson was asked to study the question of whether it is legal to use town revenues to maintain the parking lot and, at the same 'time, charge a few people For a reserved space. • Page 2 ,f Ms. Susie Brendan had attended the meeting in order 'to request the use aF the council room for apre--school class . The class would be open to local children only, not to exceed 12 children. The charge 'for 56 hours a month would be $50, Councilman Donovan suggested that, as the number in the group was limited, those who had not been admitted might complain to the town, as the council room is a public Facility. Councilman ~tauFer expressed his opinion that there exists a civic duty to help fuiPill so apparent a need. Ms. Brendan noted that if she had the use of a room as large as the councti- room she might be able to hire more s'taFf and accommodate more children. The Recreation District had denied her request for, the use of the golf club- house. Mayor Dobson emphasized that his major qualm was 'the precedent set by the use of a public facility for a private purpose. Mr. Lapin suggested that perhaps the town should administer the program. Ms. Brendan noted that the use of convention rooms in lodges was not possible because they are not available For 7 hours; she felt the program should extend over this long a period to make it a more useable time For the mothers. Mr. Minger agreed that the privateness of the venture makes 'the use of the council room inap- propriate; also, the other uses of the building make the conduct of a pre-- school inappropriate in the same quarters. Councilman Staufer suggested that the Recreation District Board be re-approached on the use of their facility. Mayor Dobson summarized that: ~ . the Council is sympathetic to the need; 2 . the undertaking- should be approached on as public a basis as possible if the municipality is to be involved; 3. 'the Recreation District will be approached; 4. Mr. Minger and Ms. Brendan should discuss the extent of municipal involvement. As an inFormational point, Mr. Minger noted that the .County is very close to hiring a planner. The minutes of the meetings of September 29, October 3, October 6 and October 'i2, as corrected, had been previously submitted to the Council. Counctlman Donovan moved they be approved, Councilman Staufer seconded; approval was unanimous. A final item brought before the Council was the recent rash of house break-ins in the town. Mr. Minger noted that the police department is aware of this and taking steps to prevent further difficulties. As there was no Further business, Councilman Donovan moved the Town Council adjourn at 9:45 p. m. The meeting convened as the Local Liquor Licensing Authority at 9:45 p. m. Mr. Robinson noted that the hearing on the ap~iica'tion of Bridgewater Fnn, Inc. had been conducted two weeks ago and that i't is necessary to reach a decision. It was stated that the facility has no difficulty in meeting parking requirements. Councilman Bailey moved the license be approved; Council- man Steinberg seconded; Councilmen Donovan and Staufer abstained; Council- men Bailey, Lang maid, Steinberg and Dobson were in favor. As there was no further business, Councilman Langmaid moved the Local Liquor Licensing Authority be adjourned; Councilman Steinberg seconded; adjournment was at 9:50 p. m. ~~ Town Clerk ~ lh t Page 3 MINUTES WORK SESSION TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL OCTOBER 24, 1972 A work session of the Town Council of the Town of Vail was convened at 4:30 p. m. , October 24, 1972 , in the ConFerence Room of •the Vaii Municipal Building. Mayor John A. Dobson and the following Councilmen were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan JoseF Staufer Tam Steinberg Also present was Terrell Minger, Town Manager. Mayor Dobson presented his impressions of the various individuals with whom he met in San Francisco. It appeared that Mr. Livingston could be very help-- ~~ ful in regard to planning, zoning and the legal problems associated with these areas. Mr. Halprin's experience has centered in mostly urban areas. Mr. Royston, on the other hand, has had more experience in small areas and is already known in Vail. Mayor Dobson also noted a difference between 'the possible project managers for Mr. Halprin and Mr: Royston. It was his opinion that the Royston firm would devote more first •team efFort to the project. The Mayor's recommendation was •to work with Royston and I._,ivingston. Councilman Steinberg voiced the hesitation that Mr. Royston is too much inclined to tell the Council what it wants •to hear. Mayor Dobson Felt this could be expressed in a difFeren•t way; that he is less antagonistic about his own views than Mr. Halprin. Mr. Minger agreed, reluctantly, that Mr. Halprin might not be as compatible with the community. In addition, he might be more long-range oriented; Mr. Royston might produce quicker results . It was agreed that the project might be more acceptable to the community iF immediate results were visible. In regard •to •the work •to be done by Mr. Livingston, Mr. Minger noted that he will personalty re-write the zoning ordinance with advice From a law professor who formerly lived in Colorado. Mr. Livingston's fee is $20,000. The project to be done by either Mr. Royston or Mr. Halprin will extend over a one and a half •to two year period and will include all design work except that aF the buildings. This Fee will be approximately $50,000. When the total projected cost of approxi- mately $100,000 is balanced against •the amount- of money in land and improve- ments, i~t appears quite reasonable. Mr. Livingston will also be available for consultation on architectural control, site planning and sign review. Councilman Steinberg moves! that Mr. Minger be authorized- to hire Mr. Livingston and Mr. Royston; Councilman Staufer seconded; approval was unanimous. A meeting with them will be held •the week aFter Thanksgiving. Discussion regarding the Antholz property followed. As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:50 p. m. Town Clerk .. MINUTES REGULAR MEETING TOWN COUNCI L OF THE TOWN OF' VAI L NOVEMBER 7, 1972 A regu Car meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Vail was convened at 7:40 p. m. , November 7, 1972, in the Council Room of the Vail Municipal Building. Mayor John Dobson and the Following Councilmen were present: John Donovan Joseph Lang maid JoseF Staufer Gerry White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Lawrence Robinson, Town Attorney Discussion first centered on the request for re-zoning from Mr. Clancy and Mr. Brady, the new owners of the property known as the Pulls property. A letter From the Planning Commission to the eFFect that the request be tabled was read in full. Mr. Clancy indicated they would like the zoning change due to the unfeasibility or undesirability of building in some of the areas currently zoned For building. He noted that they have not changed 'the total buildable sgaure Footage in each zone with their new plan; rather, they are trying to make 'the planning more logical and orderly. They would,;prefer no't 'to wait for the development of a P.U.D, ordinance as this dventuali'ty might not occur. Mr. Clark,Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated that it was his under- standing that under the present zoning ordinance the Town cannot legally enter into contracts requiring the building of amenities. He also suggested that 'the developers did not need a decision at present as 'their first stage is one of low density. However, Mr, Clancy disagreed; the First stage is predicated on later developments. In response to a question From Councilman Lang maid, Mr. Clancy noted that dedicated open space in the present zoning is 530,.000 square feet; in their proposed new plan this has been reduced to 515,000 square Feet. There was some discussion of whether the Town can enter into an agreement For the construction of amenities. Mr. Robinson Felt attention should be focused on 'the fact 'that experts are being hired to develop a definitive P.U.D. provision which could be applied 'to this propewty. Mr. Clancy noted that they are willing to sub- mit the property to the P. U , D , provision, if developed . He acknowledged that the inclusion of the additional 15,000 square Feet did lower the density calcula- tions . A map of the amenities they propose was displayed and discussed. Mayor Dobson inquired why the new plan is seen as better for the Town. Mr. Clancy felt that, within their property, they have provided the type of comprehensive planning that the Town is attempting to establish throughout its jurisdiction. In regard to what portions of the new plan could no't be constructed under the old zoning, Mr. Clancy noted that the new plan allows For the transfer of densities, enabling them 'to concentrate density in one portion of a large zone. Councilman White noted that under a P.U.D. ordinance this transfer would be possible; however, in that case, 'the town would be able to control 'the placement of 'the densities. There was some discussion of the effect of lowering densities on 'the proposed recreational amenities. The quantity of amenities needed for the quantity of beds planned was also discussed . Mayor Dobson suggested that the recommendation from the Planning Commission to 'table be accepted with the understanding that discussions will be continued. Mr. Fcobinson cauttoned that the zoning ordinance requires a decision within 90 days of the public hearing. Councilman White noted that it would be necessary for the developers to request that they be put under a P. U . D. provision. Mr. J Clark noted that the smolt area of HDMF on the original zoning map was included in order 'to obtain the uses only. Mr. Jensen, attorney 'For the developers, reiterated some points relating to their willingness to commit to building amenities and to submit to a P.U.D., if adopted. Secondly, he noted that they cannot begin their First phase without a decision on the total project due 'to SEC registration requirements. However, three months' delay would not cause problems for them. Councilman StauFer noted that as a great deal of money is going 'to be spent on the master plan, it seems most logical to wait until some conclusions have been reached in 'that regard. Councilman Donovan moved that the request be tabled and a decision made on January 15. There was general agreement with •this motion. Next to be considered was a proposed plat of Vail Village, 13th Filing. Maps of the area were displayed and various statistics relative to the region given. It was noted that a suggestion has been made to locate a private school in the area. The Planning Commission has approved this plat. /-~Fter some discussion, Councilman White moved that the plat of the Vail Village 13th Filing be approved; Councilman Staufer seconded; approval was unanimous. In regard 'to a condi- tional use permit to allow a private school site on Agricultural-zoned land, there was some discussion. of the ecological impact of locating such a Facility in that area; also, of the various geological factors involved . Mayor Dobson suggested that beFore even a tentative decision were reached, 'the Planning Com- mission should study the matter as well as the various administrative depart-- menu, There was general agreement with this suggestion. A request had been received From Ernst Lanese to operate a Fondue Stuber" c restaurant. Mr. McLaughlin, his attorney, traced the history of the various requests 'they have made regarding a change of use of the Cornice Building. It was their contention 'that 'the change of use would be advantageous to the Town because: 1 . i't would improve the exterior appearance of the building; 2, it would reduce the large number of cars generated by 'the rental units in the build- ing; 3, it could provide a needed service in town, Mr. McLaughlin suggested that if a variance were not granted i't might be passible 'to build a large structure on the buildable lot by using the 7,000 square feet currently ceased. 'to the Town, but upon which they have exercised an option, for the F.A.R. The only dis- advantage they could see in granting the variance was •than a possibiii'ty would exist of increased traFFic congestion. I't was noted that Four parking spaces would be required by ordinance if the down- stairs were converted into a restaurant. They have suFFicient Land for those spaces; however, they do not have proper turn-arounds, Mr. Minger thought . that, realistically, even if the four spaces are provided, most customers are going ~to park in the main lot, Further discussion ensued of the comparative advantages and disadvantages of the present use of the building. Concern was expressed regarding possible difficulties arising because of the proximity of the building to the proposed parking structure. Councilman Lang maid expressed the opinion that if any variance were granted, he would prefer that it be to waive the parking requirement entirely rather than allow the unsatisFactory ingress and egress. Mayor Dobson inquired if it were possible to grah•t a variance tied to a certain use; fF the use changed, the variance would be cancelled. It was agreed that this might be possible. Discussion continued of the possible undesirable precedents that might be se't. Mr. Minger suggested that perhaps Mr. L'arese be required to lease four or five spaces in the main io•t each year until the char- acter of that lot changes. Councilman StauFer noteef that if everyone who would desire such an arrangement were accommodated, the entire lot would be ceased. Following further discussion, Mayor Dobson suggested the request be denied until the Council addressed the larger parking problems. It was suggested 'to Mr. Lanese that he attempt to lease private land Far parking. Councilman Lang maid moved 'that the parking variance request For the Cornice Building be denied; Councilman Donovan seconded; the motion carried unanimously. It was emphasized •that this denial applied only to 'those requests made to date. Mr. Mauri Nottingham had submitted his resignation from the Sign Review Board. Gouncicman Donovan moved it be accepted; Councilman White seconded; the motion Page 2 Y. a ~ • s r unanimously carried. The minutes of the meeting of October 17, 1972, had been previously sent to the Council. Councilman StauFer moved the minutes be approved; Councilman White seconded; approval was unanimous. Several inFormational items had been distributed 'to the Council which engendered some discussion. As there was no further business, Councilman StauFer moved the Town Council be adjourned at 10:15 p. m. , Councilman Donovan seconded; approval was unanimous. The meeting convened as the Local Liquor Licensing Authority at 10:15 p. m. Applications For corporate changes had been received From Golden Peak Restaurants, Inc. and Vail Lions Head Restaurants, Inc. Councilman White moved both changes be approved; Councilman Lang maid seconded; approval was unanimous. .

It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that this request be tabled and that no action be taken by the Town Council at this time. Our recommendation is based upon the following considerations; 1 . The contemplated revision of the Zoning Ordinance in the near Future; 2. The creation of a Planned Unit Development provision in the new Zoning Ordinance. We feel that this particular property would qualify under the contemplated PUD provision. 3. The anticipated outcome of the n-~aster planning study and the subsequent master plan for the community. The Planning Commission would be willing, however, to consider this re-zoning request subject to the revision of the zoning ordinance and the completion of the master plan. Sincerely, ,~.~ n ~ ~ ~~~: ~~ Bob C lark y n Chairman Planning Commission k •., MINUTES REGULAR MEETING TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF' VAI L NOVEMBER 21 , 1972. A regular meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Vail was convened at 7:40 p. m. , November 21 , 1972, in the Council Room of 'the Vail Municipal Building . Mayor John A . Dobson and the follow ing Councilmen were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan Joseph Lang maid JoseF Staufer Tom Steinberg Gerry White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Larry Robinson, Town Attorney The Council First convened as the Local Liquor Licensing Authority. An applica- tion had been received From Vail Valley Enterprises, Inc. for athree-way license to be located at 498 Lionshead Circle, Block 1 , Lot 3, Vaii/Lionshead, Commer- cial Space 201, 202 and Front patio. Mr. McLaughlin represented the applicants. Four witnesses were sworn in by Mr. Minger. The Town Clerk indicated that all necessary in Formation had been received; the Town Attorney indicated that he had reviewed the application and i~t was properly completed; the Police Chief had completed his investigation and the applicants had no police record . No letters had been received against the application. The s'tatu'tes applicable to the hearing were reviewed. Mr. McLaughlin requested that the board take note of evidence submitted at previous hearings regarding the need -Far additional 'Facil'ities in the area . He submitted petitions containing 100 signatures in Favor of the application . Diana Lee Williams, the first witness, indicated that she is over 21 and has never been convicted of a Felony. She will act as the vice-president and secretary of the corporation and also as a member of the Board of Directors. Additional members of the Board of Directors are Loretta Yates and Lucille Williams. The name of the enterprise will be T'The Flace at Vail." Mrs. Williams noted her experience in the restaurant business,, the menu, decor and seating of the proposed restaurant. She indicated that the money Far the venture came From private sources but not from her husband . Parking for the facility will be in the parking structure currently under construction. A final paint was that she has no personal financial interest in Gu.ido's . Loretta Ja Yates, the second witness, noted that she is over 21 , has never been convicted of a felony, is a member of the, Board of Directors of the corporation, and will also serve as president and treasurer. She stated her experience in the restaurant business. Based on the construction activity in the area, she Feels there is a great need For this .restaurant.. The third witness, John Purcell,ts him- sel~F building a restaurant in the Lionshead area; based on this Familiarity, he thinks the need exists for another license. The final witness, David B. Stevenson, has been involved in the construction business. Based on this experience, he feels the need For additional facilities exists in the Lionshead area. The Council had no questions of the witnesses nor of Mr. McLaughlin. A final point was that applica- tion has been made for a restaurant license. Mayor Dobson noted that a decision on the application will be made in 30 days; a copy of the written decision will be sent to the applicants by certified mail, A list of each establishment in town requiring a liquor license renewal for the 1973 license year had been compiled and submitted to the Council. A list of violations had also been compiled and submitted. Councilman Donovan suggested that the police notify the owner whenever a violation occurs; although in most cases, the violation is brought to the attention of the police by the management of the establish- ment, it was agreed that the owner could be notified by registered mail. In view of f the fact that the police are called by the management and the fact that in those facilities with numerous violations, improvement has been shown since the last report, Chief DiMiceli did not recommend against any of the licenses. AFter further discussion, Councilman White moved the renewals, as listed, for 1973 be approved; Councilman Steinberg seconded; approval was unanimous. Mr. Robinson explained several changes in ownership: 1 . the Vail Village Inn formerly held its license as a sole proprietorship, they are changing to a cor- porate ownership; 2 , the Chile Bowl premises are now leased by Daugias Kilgore; 3. Leroi's Public House was formerly a partnership, it is now changing to a sale proprietorship; 4. the composition of stockholders of the Nu Gnu has changed; 5. 'the composition of stockholders of the Golden Peak Restaurants, Inc. has changed; 6. the composition of stockholders of Vail Lions .Head Restaurants Inc. has changed. The documentation For these changes was presented. Follow- ing some discussion, Councilman Bailey moved the changes outlined by the Town Attorney be approved; Councilman White seconded; Councilman Staufer abstained; Councilmen Bailey, Donovan, Langmaid, Steinberg, White and Dobson voted in favor. As there was no further business, the Local Liquor Licensing Authority adjourned at 8:10 p. m. upon a motion by Councilman Donovan, seconded by Councilman Bailey. The Town Council was convened at 8:10 p. m. Madeleine Weibel had submitted her resignation from the Sign Review Board. Councilman Donovan moved the • resignation be accepted; Councilman Bailey seconded; approval was unanimous. The resignation was accepted with regret and Mrs. Weibel thanked for her time and interest. The list of applicants for the two vacancies now existing on the Sign Review Board was read. Mayor Dobson suggested that a decision be pos•t- paned pending the receipt of more inFormation on the individual applicants; there was general agreement with this suggestion. Mr. Minger noted that the Town is again sponsoring a director of youth programs. A letter outlining planned activities for which he will need special facilities had been distributed. Mr. Hazen emphasized that the activities listed in his letter were only those for which special facilities will be needed; there are many other activities planned. Mayor Dobson noted that he had received a letter From the Vail Christian Ministries requesting approval of a plan to light the town by candle on Christmas Eve. The proposal has been checked with the Police Department and will be checked with the Fire Department. Councilman White moved that the Tawn give its approval for the use of public areas pending approval of the ,Fire [Department; Councilman Steinberg seconded; approval was unanimous. In regard to the solution of this winter's parking problem, Mr. Minger noted that an agreement has been reached with Manor Vail Co. for the use of the upper ledge aF the Antholz property for parking this winter. Eventually, it will be possible to park as many as 1 ,OQO cars in this area. The shuttle bus will run to the area. Overall, there will be at least Five shuttle buses operated; and, with the addition of the Ginkelvan in February, six. There was general agreement that Mr. Amato and Mr . Gersbach were to be heartily thanked for making this property oval cable . The utilization of the property will require a police oFFicer to direct traffic and attendants at the entrance and in the lot itself. It should be emphasized that this property may not be available in March due to muddy conditions. A pedestrian linkage will be provided From the Antholz property ~to the Golden Peak area. In regard to the allocation of the main lot, Mr. McCall suggested that. it be restricted to guests or one-hour local parking. Mr. McLaughlin agreed with 'the suggestion as there are many services in the core area whose customers would need such spaces. It was suggested that this short-term parking could be paid parking . In regard to possible Forest Service regulations regarding free parking, Mr. Almond inter- preted them to state that as long as there is an available alternative to paid parking, relatively convenient (they will accept the Antholz as relatively convenient), the requirement has been met. In regard to a possible relaxation of no-parking areas during peak times, the problem is that a habit of parking in restricted areas is formed , it was noted that if the intent is to encourage employees to park in the Antholz area, it will be necessary to begin shuttle bus service to this area before the other cots are 'Full. Members of the audiencE noted that one problem with the Antholz lot is that if it were used at night, the walk would be undesirable. Council- man White noted that it would also be necessary to have a person on the lot at night to prevent theft. Mr. McCall reiterated his suggestion that 100 spaces be reserved Page 2 1 ' `-. Far two-hour YM plates parking at a small fee. Councilman StauFer disagreed; he felt those spaces should be Free, Mayor Dobson asked if, first, a suggestion to reserve the area behind the fire station For permit parking seemed reasonable. Mr. McCall felt one-third of the requests would be withdrawn if the location of this parking were changed. There was general agreement 'that reserved parking should be in the lot behind the fire station; the next step was to locate the short-term parking. Councilman StauFer suggested that 1/3 to 1/2 of the main lot be set aside for short-term parking free of charge; these spaces would be vacated at night, hence employees who work late hours could use these spaces. As a large portion oF'the remaining spaces would be used by day skiers, these also would be available 'For a difFerent use at night. Mr. Mtnger suggested the number of short-term spaces be lowered to '100, Some discussion followed as to whether the composition of the rest of the main lot should be controlled. It was noted that whatever the decision, the lot will be cleared every twenty-four hours. I•t was noted that, in this case, the guest staying at a downtown lodge would not have a place to park. .Councilman White suggested that it was the responsibility of those lodges to buy spaces for their guests . It was noted that often these guests are driving rental cars. It was suggested that the Hibberd lot be used for short-term parking. This was seen as a good idea. A question arose regarding 'the parking of •trailers; these will be required to park in the Lionshead area. There was general agreement with a suggestion that the Antholz toe used for day parking only, • Councilman Staufer moved that the Fire Station lot be se•t aside 'for permit parking, that approximately X00 spaces be set aside for short-term parking (2-hour), and that the rest of the main lot be an afirst--come, First-served basis. The admin- istration would be left to the Town Manager. Councilman Donavan seconded this motion. Mr. Minger explained that a map will be published showing parking areas; also, signs will be installed to replace the "No Parking" signs. These will read, "Parking in Designated Areas Only" or something to that effect. Also, the instal- lation of a sign at the main entrance stating that "this is a pedestrian village" and the changing of laws to appropriately reflect this is being considered. Mr. Weibel asked if the availability of parking permits was going to be published far 'the benefit of absentee homeowners. Mr. Minger saw no problems with this. Councilman Bailey expressed his doubts that enough reserve and short--term parking was being considered, He also Felt it might be more logical to satisfy all special needs in the main lot rather than administer three or four lots. Councilman White disagreed to a certain extent; as the fire station lot is difficui~t 'to find, it is more suited to reserve parking. Councilman Staufer re-stated his motion; that the parking around the Fire Station be reserved parking with the Hibberd lot used 'far this purpose also if necessary, that 100 spaces in the main lot be Free short-term (up • to 2 hours) parking, and that the additional parking be First-come, First-served basis, with the idea in mind that the system should be flexible to deal with the needs as they arise. Councilman Donovan seconded the motion; approval was unanimous . The minutes of the meetings of October 24 and November 7 had been previously submitted to the Council, Councilman Staufer moved they be accepted; Councilman Bailey seconded; approval was unanimous, As there was no Further business, the Town Council adjourned at 9:25 p. m. The Vail General Improvement District was convened at 9:25 p. m. The minutes of the meeting of November 20 had been previously submitted to the Board. Mr. StauFer moved they be approved; Mr. Steinberg seconded; approval was unanimous, As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p. m, .~ ~. Town Clerk F Page 3 ` ,:,_,;: MINUTES SPECIA L.. MEETING TOWN COUNCIL OF fiHE TOWN OF VAIL DECEMBER 1 , 1972 A special meeting of the Town Council of 'the Town of Vail was convened a•t 7:45 p, m. , Friday, December 1 , 1972, in the Council Room of the Vail Municipal Building. Mayor John A. Dobson and the Following Councilmen were present: Richard Bailey John Donovan Joseph Lang maid Tom Steinberg Gerry White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Stanley Bernstein, Director of Finance f Dale McCall made a presentation on behalf of the VRA Board of Directors as directed by their Public Relations Committee. He First presented his concep- tion of the role of the VRA . He Felt that three programs in ,particular reflect their accomplishments: 1 , the TT packages; 2 . The group marketing sales; and 3, the VRA bookings. Same of the short-term priorities For which they would like funding are; 1 . the operation of the informattion center 12 hours a day with improved displays and increased stafF training; 2. the placement of a sign at the main intersection to direct guests to the inFormattion center; ~ . the training of all parking la•t supervisors in a PR role; 4. the moving of the bus •terminal 'to the west end of the main parking io•t and the addition of rest- rooms, additional Freight areas, displays, Free local phones and terminal greeters. The total budget for these short-term items was $12,500. They also requested $10,000 for general promotional items, making the total request $22,500. Councilman Donovan pointed out that, iF this request were granted, the total of all indirect and direct contributions from the Town to the VRA would be 20% of the Tatter's budget. The accuracy of this figure was discussed, with especial reference to the proportion of time that the employees in the information booth devote •to VRA matters . Mayor Dobson pointed out that, because •the money spent by the Town is From taxpayers, any programs Funded by the Town must serve all people in a particular category, not just VRA members. In regard 'to the bus terminal and related items, the .Mayor was a~ the opinion that the VRA should recommend items of this nature to the Town For their action rather than request Funds as pawl aF the VR.A budget. Further discussion produced the figure of $14,000 as the actual VRA request; $10,000 for promotion and $4,000 for items related to the bus terminal. Mr. McCall indicated that members of his committee felt that the loss of 50 spaces in the main lot was nat too high a price for the moving of the bus terminal. Councilman Langrnaid inquired what percentage of the businesses in town are VRA members; Mr. McCall responded that 90%. are. Mayor Dobson asked what percentage of shops and restaurants are members; Mr. McCall stated that at least 75% are. Councilman Steinberg suggested that, iF the bus station continued to be closed when certain of the buses arrive, the bus be met by a s huttle bus, the cost of which could be borne by the lodges. In summary, Mayor Dobson noted that he understands the request as 'For $10,000 from the Town; the additional figures are recommendations for other ways in which the Town could spend its money. He noted that this $10, 000 is in addition to the $15,000 aF services that the Town provides in areas more strictly the province of the VRA. Councilman Steinberg noted that, philosophically, •the Council in ~ ~~ ~-. the future will not make cash donations for general needs; rather, projects will have to be presented with a request for Town funding of the specific project. Mr. Blake Lynch indicated his agreement that the bus station poses a serious public relations problem. He also seconded 'the need for a sign at the inter-- section to point out the information booth. Mayor Dobson was of the opinion that Continental Trailways should be approached in the matter of 'the bus station. He will instruct the stafF to begin work on the information sign . A second group in attendance to present their request For funds was the Colorado Rivers Council, represented by Rob Garton and Tam Scott. Mr. Garton explained that although they are now estate-wide organization, this area is their base of operations. If granted funds, they would be willing to report on how the money is spent but would prefer that it not be earmarked. Mr. Scott .reported on the various projects in which they are currently involved. Among these were work on oil shale water projects and on new legislative and constitutional measures such as the zoning of water rights or the Wt1d Rivers Bill. Councilman Steinberg noted one criticism; the group has not had a general membership meeting in over a year. It was responded that it is difficult to Find a time when a large number of members are in town; also, working closely with the membership can take too much time, even though, in the long run, the lack of this reta•tionship can be dangerous. Councilman Steinberg suggested that they Form chapters and have regional meetings. There was some discussion of the relationship between planning, such as the proposed master plan, and the work of the Colorado Rivers Council. Mr. Scott suggested that water is an essential ingredient in a master plan; yet, it is dif- ficult to handle on a local level due to the complexity of the legal issues involved. In regard to the sources of their Funds, Mr. Garton and Mr. Scott noted that Aspen and Vail provide the bulk of their revenues derived From governmental entities. Councilman Steinberg suggested that they enlist the aid of individuals in other communities to obtain revenues From their locale. The $35,000 to $40,000 budget of the group includes the $15,000 per year for 'the work of Mr. Scott, $6,000 For secretarial services, a large amount for travel expenses and an amount for mailings. Many of their costs are unpredictable, dependant upon the need For various types of action. Mayor Dobson indicated, in conclusion, that the Council would take the group into consideration in the further review of the budget . Mr. Bartlett, of Vail Associates, made a statement 'to the eFFect that the salary increases relected in the budget deserve support due to 'their effect in insuring • the continued services of key personnel. As there was no further business, Councilman Donovan moved the meeting adjourn at 9:35 p.m.; Councilman White seconded; approval was unanimous. ~~ ~~ _ Town' Cierk~ r Page ~ ' ~ M ~ r~ o TO i Terrell J.

The Mayor read in full 'the title of said ordinance and advised the public attending the meeting that copies of the ordinance were available. The process by which the Town Manager certifies that funds are available for appropriation was explained by Mr. Robinson. It was explained that the Town of Vail Brochure, for which an expenditure is contemplated, is a public relations/inFormationai pamphlet still in •the process of being compiled. Following some discussion, the Mayor polled the Council as to whether they had read and understood the ordinance and Councilmen White, Langmaid, Staufer, Steinberg and Donovan each indicated that he had read and under- stood. Councilman Staufer made a motion to approve the ordinance; the motion was seconded by Councilman Donovan. The Mayor called For a vote on said motion; Councilmen White, Langmaid, Staufer, Steinberg, Donovan and Dobson voted in favor. Mayor Dobson declared that the motion carried. A resolution certifying the mill levy was read in full. Mayor Dobson noted that the levy of 5.~4 mills represents the same Levy as last year, including the library fund. Councilman White moved the resolution be approved; Councilman Steinberg seconded; approval was unanimous, The appointment of two new members to the Sign Review Board virus next consider- ed . There are actually three vacancies; however, the latest one has not yet been published, hence, it will be considered at a later meeting.

As there were no Further nominations, Councilman Donovan moved Mr. Douglas and Mr. Mi11s be appointed; Councilman Langmaid seconded; approval 'was unanimous . Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1972, ANNUAL APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE: ADOPTING A BUDGET AND APPROPRIATING SUMS OF MONEY TO DEFRAY EXPENSES AND LIABI CITIES OF THE TOWN OF" VAIL, COLORADO, FOR THE TOWN'S FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 1973, AND ENDING ON THE LAST DAY OF DECEMBER, 1973, was introduced by Councilman Steinberg. The Mayor read in full the title of said oi^d2nance and advised the public attending the meeting that copies of the ordinance were available. Mayor Dobson noted that a public hearing, properly advertised, has been held on the budget. The Mayor polled the Board as to whether they had read and understood the ordinance; each indicated that he had. Councilman Steinberg made a motion to approve the ordinance, and to publish a notice For a public hearing on said ordinance to be held at 7:30 o'clock p. m. , Tuesday, December 19, 1972. The motion was seconded by Councilman Donovan. The Mayor called for a vote on said motion; ~~ x j ~ ^" Councilmen White, Langmaid, StauFer, Steinberg, Donovan and Dobson voted in Favor. Mayor Dobson declared that the motion carried and instructed the Town Clerk to publish same. s Mr . Robinson reported on a new camprehens ive plan proposed for theTawn's liability policy covering employees, equipment and buildings, etc. Mayor Dobson noted that this plan appears to be si,perior to the one currently in force, DraFt copies of licenses for horse-drawn vehicles in the Town had been prepared. Mr. Robinson pointed out that Ordinance No. 10 (Series of 1971) prohibits live- stock on the public streets with all exceptions requiring a license. The license which had been prepared included several restrictions, the mast notable of which was a prohibition from operating along Gore Creek Drive. It was sug- gested that Bridge Street should also be specifically excluded . Mr. Howlett, the operator of one of the excursions, presented his case for going through the center of town; he felt that it was no different from letting trucks through the. gate and also, it gives people an opportunity to see the center of town. Mayor Dobson noted that the Council has decided against this because it is dangerous to have horses in a pedestrian area. In addition, there are technical problems with the gate's trip mechanism and a reFuse problem. Councilman Steinberg sugges ted that 'the warding of the prohibition be changed to "within the center of the village and pedestrian areas." Mr. Wegman, the operator of another excursion, indicated his agreement with the terms of the license except the hours of operation; he would like to change them From 1 ~E p. m. to midnight. This change will be made. Mayor Dobson summarized that 'the regular route will not be allowed to go into pedestrian areas nor will any violation of one-way restric- tions be allowed. For extraordinary occasions, a change of route will require a police permit to be granted by the chief. Any departures From the license must be approved by the Police Chief. Councilman Donovan moved the licenses be approved as re--written; Councilman Steinberg seconded; approval was unanimous . Councilman White noted that he is not of the opinion that the present lighting of the sleighs is adequate. Councilman Steinberg suggested that, in the Future, there should be a charge For such licensings . The minutes of the meeting of November 21, 1972, had been previously submitted to the Council. Councilman Staufer moved they be approved; Councilman White seconded; approval was unanimous. Mr. Knox inquired about sound-prooFing the Council Room. Mayor Dobson noted that, in addition to the acoustic the above the Council seats, the back wail apposite will be covered in cork. Councilman StauFer took note aF a rumor that the Town had plans to take over the VRA; that the executive dzrector aF the VRA had informed some of his members that this was the case. For the record, Councilman Staufer noted that he would be again~;t any such move. There was general agreement that such a move has not been contemplated and would not be supported. As there was no Further business, Councilman Donovan moved the meeting be adjourned at 8:50 p, m.; Councilman White seconded; approval of adjournment was unanimous. The Local Liquor Licensing Authority was convened at 8:50 p. m. It was neces- sary that a decision be made on the application of Vail Valley Enterprises, Inc. Fora 3-way liquor license. Councilman i..angmaid moved that the license be approved contingent upon the completion of the parking structure necessary to meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Councilman White seconded; approval was unanimous. As there was no further business, the Local Liquor Licensing Authori~Ey was adjourned at 8:55 p. m. ~~ ~ ~~. ~~ Tow~i Clerk Page 2 r~~ 1.. 1 '{ ~• w' w MINUTES REGULAR MEETING TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF VAIL DECEMBER 19, 1972 A regular meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Vail was convened at 7:45 p. m. , December 19, '1972, in the Council Room of the Vail Municipal Building. Mayor John A. Dobson and the Following Councilmen were present; John Donovan Joseph Langmaid Josef Staufer Tom Steinberg Gerry White Also present were; Terrell Minger, Town Manager Larry Robinson, Town Attorney ~, Ordinance No. 17 (Series of 1972) ANNUAL APPROPRIATIQN ORDINANCE: ADOPTING A BU©GET AND APPROPRIATING SUMS OF MONEY TO DEFRAY EXPENSES AND LIAgI CITIES OF THE TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO, FOR THE TOWN'S FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 1973, AND ENDING ON THE 1~1ST DAY OF DECEMBER,, 1973, was brought beFore the Council for second reading. The title of the ordinance was read in Fuli by the Mayer and the audience advised that copies were available . Mr . Minger explained that •the sums being appropriated were those previously discussed at the budget hearing. The Council was polled as to whether they had read and understood the ordinance. As there was no further discussion, Councilman ^onovan moved the ordinance be adopted; Councilman White seconded; Council~eh Donovan, Lang maid, Staufer, Steinberg, White and Dobson voted in favor. The Mayor declared that the motion carried and the ordinance was adopted. Mr. Minger reported that it was proposed that the traffic gate be operated from 7 a. m. to ,11 p, m. with a total closure to traffic from 3 p. m. to 6 p. m. Mr, Robinson reported that John Amato, on behalf of the Liquor Store at Vail, is willing to afFect a law suit on the basis that he has rights to the thoroughfare iF the closure is made, It is his contention that the store does 50% of its business during those fours. Mr. Robinson suggested that perhaps a total closing is too harsh. It was also noted that many deliveries are made during Chase hours to shops in that area. There is not a phone in the gate house. Chief DiMiceli stated that their idea had been •to ask service and delivery vehicles to adjust their schedules; to only allow people through the gate who were going •to one of the buildings with ofF~-street parking; and 'to issue time--slips in order to tell how long a vehicle had been in the core. Further discussion brought out •the points and suggestions ~tha~t; 1 . guests should not be required to carry their belongings •to their lodge i'f they arrive during the closure; 2. as soon as the rule is known, people can work around the three hour period; 3. shops could cart their deliveries •to the covered bridge For pick-up; 4. if liquor were sold ofF the premises, this would be a technical violation of the liquor code; 5. a two-part ticket could be issued to vehicles going through the gate, one part would be kept a~t the gate and the other stamped by the shop in question, and the •two later compared; 6. a second person could be hired to follow-up on the vehicles passing through the gate; 7, a message cauid be left at the gate by the business in question iF a particular vehicle is to be admitted. By way of summary, Mayor Dobson asked if all were agreed that emergency deliveries would be permitted during the 3 to 6 closure; there was general agreement with this idea. He asked if all were agreed that guests at core ~,.,._ ,. lodges should be admitted; there was general agreement with this idea, In regard ~to "bulky pick-ups," the Mayor suggested that the closure be tried for a week, with records kept of those admitted and those denied admittance. Mr. Minger noted that where ever pedestrian areas have been created, they have been shown to generate a larger volume of business. Councilman Steinberg suggested that each business be given a supply of cards which they would give to any customer who needed to go through the -gate. There was general agreement with this Idea. Mayor Dobson summarized •that, on a trial basis, emergency deliveries, arriving guests, and customers who presented a card authorizing them to make apick-up would be allowed through the gate between the hours of 3 p. m. and 6 p. m. Records will be kept of the requests granted and denied and whether the vehicle in question is local or hot. Councilman Donavan suggested that an effort should also be made 'to curtail the incidence of shop-owners bringing their cars into the core area. Mr. Minger reported on the Humane Animal OFficer program. Rather than impounding a dog running at large, the dog will be taken to its owner and the problems which have been created will be explained to the owner. The second time the dog is found at large, he will be impounded. An adoption program will be followed for unclaimed dogs. Upon the arrival of Charles Crowley, manager of the Liquor Store at Vail, the discussion returned to the gate closure. He felt the system which had S been devised would not be workable due to the difficulty of educating the guest as to its operation. Following some discussion, the agreement was reached that the closure, with 'the above-stated conditions, would be tried for a week or two and a record kept of any complaints . A resolution regarding the re-negotiation of the Cable TV Franchise had been prepared. Councilman Staufer expressed some apprehensions that the public had not been enough involved in the procedure. Mr. Minger noted that after the initial groundwork has been done, there will be a series of public meetings. Jim Lamont noted that a group of people who understand the technical aspects of the question have been meeting . He also noted that the legal aspects of cable TV have been changing, A document has been prepared which .recommends areas far negotiation. After some further discussion, Councilman Donovan moved that the resolution pertaining to the Cable TV franchise be adopted; Councilman Steinberg seconded; approval was unanimous. A list of units and beds available in the valley had been prepared. Mr. Minger noted that the mountain capacity is somewhat below 'the bed figure. Mayor • Dobson stated that the Council is increasingly concerned about growth and are attempting to develop an ordinance of an interim nature addressing itsel.F •to the problem while the master plan is being developed. At present, the Council is in an inFormation-gathering stage. In addition to the Figures previously mentioned, they also have a list of pending construction projects in the Town. Councilman Staufer noted that, from the figures given, it appears there will be 'T8,OQ0 beds next year while the mountain capacity will be 'i 0,000. Mayor Dobson noted that the Figures do not include day-skiers . i~t was acknowledged that a reduction in construction would affect the Town budget; however, the failure to act would also cause financial difficulties in •ti~ie long-term. Councilman Staufer inquired if there is a lease From the Forest Service to the Lodge for parking spaces. There is a lease For this land providing- 33 year-round spaces. Councilman Staufer asked if they are taking credit for the 30-Foot right~-of-way in the plaza area. Discussion brought out •thatt the Lodge actually owns the right-oF-way. Philosophically, Councilman Staufer disagreed with giving credit for a public walk-way. Councilman Donovan asked if any attempts were being made to correct the fallacies of the F'AR system. Mayor Dobson noted that in the new ordinance, this system may be entirely replaced. Page 2 w_ ' r . . Councilman White inquired iF any buildings are being planned For next summer as large as the ~.odge addition. Although there are none as tall, some will be larger in square Footage. He asked iF people are being told that the FAR may be changed. Representatives of the Building Department responded that they are not; to do so might cause a rush to submit plans. Councilman White emphasized that each case must be considered on its own merits. Councilman Steinberg proposed a resolution that no building permits be issued far 15 to 30 days. Mr. Robinson noted that the Building Code allows the department to hold an application For a building permit For 30 days; hence, a resolution is nat necessary. Councilman Steinberg withdrew his resolution and requested that the Town Manager enforce a policy of not issuing building permits for 30 days. Mayor Dobson noted that a permit would have to be issued for Three Wiiiow Place, as the town is already committed by letter to issue this permit. There was general agreement with the instruction to the Town Manager. Mayor Dobson suggested that a public hearing an this proposed interim ordinance be held an December 26; the actual ordinance will be considered at the next regular meeting following this hearing . As an inFormational point, Mr. Minger showed an air sample which indicated that Vail may have a pollution problem in the near future; at some point it may be necessary to consider regulating fireplaces. The minutes of the • meetings of December 1 and December 5 had been previously submitted to the Council; Counci loran Donovan moved they be approved; Councilman S1:auFer Seconded; approval was unanimous. As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9;50 p. m. Town Clerk • • Page 3 ., ~}, ,, ~! :~ MINUTES. SPECIAL MEETING TOWN couNCIL OF' THE TOWN OF VAIN DECEMBER 26, 1972 A special meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Vail was convened at 7:30 p.m., December 26, 1972, in the Council Room of the Vail Municipal Building. Mayor John A. Dobson and the fallowing Councilmen were present: Dick Bailey John Donovan Josef Staufer Tom Steinberg Gerry White D Alsa present were: Terrell. Minger, Town Manager Larry Robinson, Town Attorney The majority of the audience consisted of developers. The Mayor opened with a brief preliminary statement indicative of the meaning of the meeting, and went onto say that the Town of Vail needs an interim solution to the problem of controlling, fairly, legally, and morally, the growth of Vail before the new zoning regulations go into effect, after due process of hearings. He noted that the Council does not propose at this time a mora-~ Corium on building, but it is considering various interim alter- natives. The Council did not have an ordinance to present to the meeting; it was principally concerned with. receiving comments and suggestions from the community. The Mayor read an estimate prepared by the Building Department of beds and units in Vail, which concluded that there were approximately 18,000 beds available. Jen Wright of Vail Asso- ciates questioned the Mayor's figures for condominium units and asked for them to be rechecked. There was general discussion and the following points were made: Rod Slifer felt that the real impact is ,not in the Town of Vail but outside the Village, and that the controls needed are in the County. He also mentioned that the mountain has handled the numbers very well so tar, and, therefore, ski capacity should not be used as a determining factor. Council Bailey agreed that County planning was needed, and asked Mr. Slifer for a timetable. Mr. Slifer replied that the County has hired a Planner as of January lst, and it is proposed to have zoning by districts. He suggested it might be possible to do the zoning partially, as opposed to a total package, and felt that an impact could be made an the County by the Town taking an early strong stand.. • r r + U.~ ~ ~ /' ~ s Councilman Donovan mentioned that possibly our winter facilities are adequate, but that more summer facilities are needed. Dick Elias of Manor Vail inquired about Senate Bill. 35. Terry Minger rep~.ied that Senate Bill 35 basically was an attempt to regulate subdivision and growth in unincorporated areas in counties, because counties were not doing the, job. Senate Bill 35 is a long, complica ted document, which says that a munici- pality may comment an subdivisions within two miles of its cor- porate boundaries, and since its introduction, the Town has been commenting on all subdivisions. He noted, however, that comment is strictly comment, with na legal weight and authority, and if there are no Zoning regulations in the county, then the comments go unheeded. Fred Hibberd, of Treetops Condominiums, felt that we should place emphasis on phased development and keeping projects small, He also felt developers would be willing to work with the Councilmen on the type of building to be done in the future. Councilman Steinberg suggested that one,way to slow growth is to cut density and asked if developers would be willing to pay more tax for recreational facilities. The Mayor pointed out that one of the most important yardsticks in this matter is addressing ourselves to the skiing crowds. Dick Peterson of Vail. Associates stated that they had completed a very detailed planning study of Vail mountain versus what the Valley could handle, which does place a limit on growth of Vail mountain, with several years of continued increased lift capacity on the mountain. He expressed the desire of V.A. to work with the Town's planners to try to help come up with the best answers. He noted that the mountain facilities were presently in good shape, with a capacity projection of 13,000 to 14,(300 skiers on an uncomfortable day, and a capacity of 11,000 skiers on a comfortable day. Mr. Peterson also stated that increased growth of other ski areas is changing the pattern of skiers in Vail. Terry Minger advised that the rewriting of the zoning ordinance and development package by the planners would not be completed until April lst, and the Mayor questioned whether we should stand ~ by and do nothing until the completed report tames in, or should we now try to limit as much development as we can. George Knox asked if there were any figures available on unsold units, and Jen GJright replied that I,iansHead is 60-704 sold. Dana Rickli, architect for Vantage Point, said they had had good fortune in selling their units, and that the amount of growth in Lionsk3ead has stimulated good building. He also felt there was a need for recreational. facilities an site and that an assessment per unit for recreational facilities was a good idea. John Amato took issue with the statement that Vail is overbuilt now and stated that the bulk of people who come to Vaal didn't feel it was, He admitted that Vaal had a temporary imbalance. He was of the opinion that the Town would be reneging on their implied representation regarding annexed property if there were a moratorium on building or cutback of F,A.R. He questioned CJ ~. ,, ,,, . the legality of a moratorium, and stated that the Councilmen could be held personally liable. He did agree that developer- provided amenities should receive a lot of concentration. Jim Cunningham felt that developers should be given a set of rules to adhere to and that the rules should not be changed. He expressed a need for better communication between the community and the Council, and the Mayor reminded him of the Council meetings which are held every other week. Ted Kindel suggested that we should work on relationship of mountain capacity as compared to town population. Dick Peterson brought up the fact that the increased number of people in town drastically increases the number of non-skiers. Ed Browna..ng of the Forest Service said they were reviewing the plan submitted by Vail Associates and that the figures represented by Dick Peterson with regard to lift capacity looked goad and will be approved by the end of January. ~~. With regard to annexation, Gerry White advised that the Town i:s trying to annex as much as possible to bet-~er control the density of Vail. Terry Manger brought out that it takes 1/6th contiguacy to the Town and the owners of 50a of the land must petition in order to annex. There was general discussion regarding the environmental problems in Vail, including water availability, and Ed Browning stated that the most crit~al time would be in the summer, With the completion of 1-70, Ed Browning gave a projection of 16,000 cars passing through Vail, with approximately 60,000 people per day. In summary, the Mayor stated that he understood that developers are concerned about the uncertainty, but hoped that they also shared a real concern about overa~.l growth, and promised that there would be future meetings with developers and other interested people. He was pleased to hear that developers were in agreement that more amenities must be forthcoming He gathered that the overriding fear of developers was uncertainty and arbitrary changing of rules. The Mayor stated they were not going to impose any unreasonable and unfair arbitrary legislation. He expressed a disappointment with a lack of statements from the townspeople of Vail and suggested that George Knox of the Vail Trail could editorially address himself to that problem. The meeting was adjourned at 11:00 p.m. ~: ~JC 7 Town°CIe
