Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal noted she would be abstaining from voting on Item C, Ordinance
No. 30, Series of 1987. Kent Rose asked whether concerns voiced two weeks ago, i.e.,
lowering overhead power lines and street access, among others, had been addressed in
regard to Ordinance No. 30, Series of 1987. Rick Pylman indicated negotiations were
still underway but the final approval was based on the already so -noted Council
requests. Eric Affeldt stated he would be voting against Item B, Ordinance No. 17,
Series of 1987, and Larry Eskwith indicated this was proper procedure for Consent
Agenda items. Kent Rose moved to approve the Consent Agenda, with John Slevin
seconding that motion. A vote was taken with unanimous approval on all items except
the following:
1. Item B, Ordinance No. 17, Series of 1987 - Eric Affeldt voted no.
2. Item C, Ordinance No. 30, Series of 1987 - Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal abstained
from the vote.
The second item of business was Ordinance No. 29, Series of 1987, first reading, an
ordinance amending Section 2.24.020 of the Municipal Code of the Town of Vail to
provide that members of the Planning and Environmental Commission shall serve for a
•term of two rather than four years on an overlapping basis; and providing details in
regard thereto. Kent Rose noted that the entire description of the commission, i.e.,
Planning and Environmental Commission, be inserted throughout the ordinance. Hermann
Staufer moved the ordinance be approved, and Kent Rose seconded this motion. A vote
was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
The next item of business was Ordinance No. 32, Series of 1987, first reading, an
•ordinance amending Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1987, which approved a Special
Development District (known as SOD No. 16, Elk Meadows) and the development plan in
accordance with Chapter 18.40 of the Vail Municipal Code and setting forth details in
regard thereto. Kristan Pritz clarified the purpose of introducing this rather
duplicitous document. John Slevin requested a change be made on page three, Item 4,
Accessory Uses, to read as follows: a. Private greenhouses, tool sheds, playhouses,
attached garages or carports, swimming pools, patios, or recreation facilities
customarily incidental to a single-family use. With that change, Gordon Pierce moved
to approve this ordinance, with a second from John Slevin. A vote was taken and the
motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
The fifth item of business was the approval of the Post Office Lease Extension
Agreement. Ron Phillips noted the initial request came directly from the Post Office,
and the new rate equated to $15.00 per square foot. Kent Rose made a motion to
approve the agreement, with a second from Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal. A vote was taken
and the motion passed unanimously.
No Citizen Participation occurred.

this date and that will be confirmed at next Tuesday's Work Session. Additionally,
