SPECIAL MEETING
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF VAIL
AUGUST 23, 1972
A special meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vail was convened
at 2:20 p.m., August 23, 1972, in the conference room of. the Vail Municipal
Building.
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. it) regard to
the application of the Bully III for 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 not 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' property'. Trustee Bailey moved
the application be approved; agreement was unanimous.
In regard to pending applicationsfor 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 meeting all aspects of the zoning ordi-
nance and building code; Trustee Steinberg seconded. Trustee Donovan. abstained
-- from voting; Trustees Bailey, Langmaid, Staufer, Steinberg, and White were in
Favor; the motion carried.
y
The application for Harvest Table encountered the same difficulty 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 all:
aspects of the zoning ordinance and building.code. Trustee Donovan abstained
from voting; Trustees Bailey, Langmaid, Staufer, Steinberg and White were in
favor; the motion carried.
In regard to the application from Nelson -Fick, Inc., Mr. Robinson noted that
he has asked Mr. Brown, their attorney, to show proof that one parking space
is available for each 1000 Peet 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 be 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, Langmaid, Staufer, Steinberg .and White were 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
A& whether the Board agrees. conceptually withthe proposal; the specifics of routes,
sanitary rules, etc, can be decided later. 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 to 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 an 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
Langmaid noted that -the 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; 2. 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 would 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 loan them the
money to pay for the excavation and paving in anticipation.of this bond issue.
This would be $15,000 to $20,000, Mr. Robtnsqn suggested that 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 obtaining 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 at 3:45 p. m.
