E. Kindel Trustee Richard Bailey Trustee Joseph Langmaid Absent: Trustee Johnny Kaemmer Trustee Thomas Steinberg Trustee John Donovan (Fire Board) Chairman Joseph Langmaid Director C. E. Kindel Director Lorence Burdick Absent: Director Cesare Moretti Director Don Almond Others present: Blake Lynch, Terry Minger, Larry Robinson, Stan Bernstein I. MUNICIPAL BUILDING SITE. Mayor Dobson noted that the Planning Commission feels the site adjacent to the chapel is more desirable for a municipal complex than the site proposed by Vail Associates. It was noted that the chapel parking area could serve a two -fold purpose --accommodating the needs of a municipal complex as well as its own. Chief Bush commented that the currently proposed site (across from Holiday Inn) is preferable for the fire function. Trustee/Director Kindel mentioned the concept of con- structing a municipal building over structured parking in the main parking lot currently under lease to the Town for 49 years. There is currently no clause in the lease re- garding structured parking. The site west of the clinic was also discussed, as it would bring the proposed library in next to the school. Trustee/Director Langmaid said that the noise factor in the clinic area might not be desirable. It was the general consensus of the Boards that the Holiday Inn site was undesirable for pedestrian access reasons. Blake will ask the Planning Commission to discuss the merits of the Holiday Inn site vs. a Frontage Road site on the east end of LionsHead, based on the non -availability of the site near the chapel. At this point Mr. Clay Simon of Vail Associates joined the Boards and stated that Vail Asso- ciates plans to construct employee housing in the area west of the clinic. He did, however, concede that it was a far better site than the one across from the Holiday Inn from a pedestrian access point of view. Upon Trustee/ Director Kindel's suggestion that VAI employee housing be constructed over the main parking lot, a brief discussion ensued on the parking lot. It was noted that the lease contained the restriction that structured parking would have to be nogotiated between VAI and the Town, and that no permanent improvements would be made to the lot without prior approval by VAI. This lease will be signed on January 12. II. REFUSE COLLECTION. Blake Lynch reviewed the Town's participation in the trash removal problem. Our dump trucks worked every day during the previous week; trash collected was burned at the sewer plant site to reduce the load to be hauled to Wolcott Sanitary Fill. More than 40 loads were reduced to three loads via this pro- cess. Terry Minger reviewed his report on this subject dated January S. He stressed the direct control the Town could exercise over a Town -operated system when there are complaints --of which there have been many of late. He noted that there might be a problem in obtaining equip- ment, as Denver has just recently started enforcing their burning ordinance, and additional trash businesses are springing up to accommodate the additional demand for same. He remarked that it would be costly and time-consuming to invite competitive bidders from Denver to consider the task. When asked.how long it would take the Town to set up such a business, he replied two weeks. Vail Associates' Maintenance Garage could handle the storage of two com- pactor trucks, in the event that the Town purchases it. Blake and Terry will proceed on the proposed establishment of a municipal trash system, offering Leo Duran, the pre- sent PUC licensee, an involvement on whatever level he prefers. Father Stone will be apprised of the situation. • It was stressed that we have every intention of including Mr. Duran in such an operation if he so desires. • III. Vail Associates/Ninth Filin Vail Associates plans to file the Ninth Filing with the ,ounty Clerk tomorrow; this concerns the land just west of Sandstone 70. This filing has not been approved by the Planning Commission. The land will be sold by VAI to its supervisory employees. If they attempt to sell such property within three years from purchase date, VAI has an option to buy it back at current appraised value at time of sale. If there is a higher bid by a prospective buyer during the three-year period, VAI will have to meet it to obtain the property. It is anticipated that five or six homes will be con- structed commencing this spring. With no further business to be discussed, the meeting adjourned at 12:00 noon. -2- OFFICE Copy DO NOT REMOV MINUTES OF THE MEETING VAIL BOARD OF TRUSTEES/VAIL PLANNING COMMISSION JANUARY 12, 1970 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Gerry White of the Planning Commission at 7:30 p.m. in the Manor Vail Conference Room; he announced that he would entertain a motion to defer the business of the Commission until the Trustee meeting had adjourned.
