Parking Zone District, was introduced on first reading. The Town
Manager explained that the ordinance was to rezone Lots P-1, P-2,

Ranch Road to the newly created Parking Zone classification. Council-
man Donovan moved to approve the ordinance on first reading; Councilman

• RESOLUTION No. 7, Series of 1976, accepting a conveyance of property
from Vail Associates, Inc., was introduced and explained by Mr. Minger.
He stated that the conveyance was part of a deal consummated over a
year previously as part of the Town's taking over the public bus
operation from Vail Associates. The conveyance had been delayed due
to lack of adequate legal descriptions for the properties to be conveyed.
He added that the properties being conveyed were Lots 9, 10, and 11,
Vail Village loth Filing, approximately 25 acres surrounding the Mountain
Bell site, and the golf course park site at the West end of the Katsos
property. Councilman Donovan moved to approve the resolution; Council-
man Wilto seconded the motion; all present voted in favor; and the
motion carried.
With regard to Vail Associates' request for a parking variance for
the proposed Lions View Apartments, located on Site 9, some confusion
existed, and Mr. Rider explained the situation. He stated that Vail
Associates had indicated that they would withdraw the request, however,
a letter delivered to the Town Manager earlier in the day from Vail
Associates did not specifically withdraw. Mr. Rider stated that it was
his reading of the Zoning Ordinance that the matter could be set over
until the May 18, 1976, regular meeting of the Council for disposition.

• Mayor Dobson read aloud the letter from.Vail Associates, signed by
Andy Norris, and then asked for comments by the Town Attorney.
Mr. Rider stated that since the letter did not withdraw the variance
request, the matter could be set over. Members of the Council
disagreed with Mr. Rider's opinion, expressing fear that the 20
day limit for disposing of the matter would have expired prior to
the next Council meeting. Councilman Wilto then moved to deny the
variance request on the basis that no physical hardships existed;
Councilman Heimbach seconded the motion; all present voted in favor;
and the motion carried.
With regard to a request for a parking variance for the Schober
Building, Diana Toughill explained that Bill Ruoff, the architect,
had phoned earlier to request postponement of the request until the
May 18, 1976, Council meeting. Councilman Donovan moved to reschedule
consideration of the request until the next regular meeting; Council-
man Ruder seconded the motion; all present voted in favor; and the
motion carried.
• CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Jack Mills asked whether the subject of Site 9 could be further
discussed at the next regular meeting. The Town Manager stated that
Vail Associates would probably request downzoning for the property,
but that such a request could not reach the Council by May 18, since
it would have to go through several Planning Commission meetings, etc.
Sandy Mills then asked for a progress report regarding the I-70
crossing. Mr. Minger stated that the overpass was progressing as
scheduled, with construction due to begin by June 15. He promised a
more complete report on May 18.
Mayor Dobson then advised the public that there would also be an
opportunity for citizen input regarding the proposed East Meadow Drive
Mall at the next meeting.
With no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
