At this time the schedule calls for construc- tion to begin on August loth. Mayor Kindel stated that the area behind the Red Lion would be landscaped from Hanson Ranch Road to Gore Creek Drive. A bid has been presented by Steve Ruder for the work in mind, but that time would be needed to look over the bid. 4.

MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS FROM THE TOWN COORDINATOR The Town Coordinator, Blake Lynch, discussed the laying of the cable in the core area for the Cable TV Project prior to the it completion of the road paving.

We are still looking for a temporary site pending a study of the proposal submitted by Ralph Sherbondy. There should be some recommendations forthcoming soon. 6.

REPORTS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION Mayor Kindel announced that we have not yet officially received the recommendations of the Planning Board regarding the Pulis Annexation. 8. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION Mayor Kindel made the comment that the Board was always interested in hearing the comments and constructive suggestions from any resident of Vail. Communication is so important. In nearly every incident where exception has been taken to activities of the Board it . was because of the lack of understanding or perhaps lack of knowledge of the background of the actions. George Knox asked if there was something to be done about the parking lot across from the Casino. Mayor Kindel reported that the Town is in the process of negotiating a lease for this area. Peter Seibert also made the comment that George Beardsley who is working on a Master Plan will be in Vail on Thursday and that the parking lots will be one item that will be gone over. Hans Weibel asked if something couldn't be done about the landscaping of the parking lots along the highway, because it was our front door and at this time they are an eyesore. Peter Seibert indicated that after the parking lots were graded, the area would be cleaned up and given a shot of oil. l • Page 4 - Minutes of the Meeting held July 10, 1967 The question of the drainage problem was discussed. Vail Associates will work with the Town to try and come up with some reasonable solution for it. Mayor Kindel suggested that we push some type of improvement there. George Knox asked if there are more building sites platted for the plaza area. Two additional sites are platted; however, plans have not been finalized. Gary White asked if the street improvement program • called for landscaping along the rights of way. Mayor Kindel answered that as it stands right now our plans do not include landscaping. Perhaps it is an individual responsibility for the cleanup and landscaping. The matter will be further studied. The road will be widened, particularly the extension of the culvert! on East Meadow Drive.
