The first order of business was approval of the May 5 and 19, 1987 meetings minutes.
After a short discussion, there was a correction noted to be made on the May 5
minutes. The corrected sentence should read "2. Joe Staufer reimburse the Town of
Vail for improvements/move of the Ski Museum, up to $75,000 with the completion of
Phase V." Kent Rose made a motion to approve the minutes with the noted correction,
which was seconded by Gordon Pierce. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously 4-0.
The second item was an appointment of a Local Liquor Licensing Authority Board Member.
Jack Curtin's term ended, and he reapplied for the position. There were no other
applicants for his seat. There was no discussion by the public or Council. A motion
to reappoint Jack to the Board was made by Kent Rose and seconded by Gordon Pierce. A
vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 4-0.
The third item for discussion was Ordinance No. 15, Series of 1987, first reading,
annexing East Intermountain to the Town of Vail. Mayor Johnston read the title in
full. Ron Phillips gave brief background information on the annexing area. There was
no discussion by Council or the public. A motion to approve the ordinance was made by
Gordon Pierce and seconded by Kent Rose. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously 4-0.
Next on the agenda was Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1987, first reading, amending
Special Development District 5 (Vail Run Resort) by amending the site plan. The full
title was read by Mayor Johnston. Rick Pylman explained what the ordinance would do
and the history of the area involved. He also stated the impacts of the new parking
site and answered questions by Council. Chris Neuswanger stated his concerns. Jay
Peterson raised a question regarding if Gordon Pierce had a conflict under the Charter
since he was the architect of the parking lot plans. Larry Eskwith stated he felt
there was a conflict. Jay then requested the item be tabled for two weeks. Peter
Patten stated there would not be any final approval, but that Vail Run could begin the
Design Review Board process after the first reading on June 16. At this time, a few
citizens explained their problems and concerns over the project. Afterwards, a motion
to table the ordinance for two weeks was made by Eric Affeldt and seconded by Kent
Rose. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 4-0.
Under Citizen Participation, Robin Baker of Eagle River Whitewater rafting asked the
Council to let them operate on a trial basis before turning them down altogether.
Gordon Pierce and Kent Rose agreed, and Eric Affeldt disagreed. Mayor Johnston said
he had reservations, but would be willing to give it a try. The rafting company is to
call the golf course and tell them when the rafts will be going down, so they can see
what the effects are. It was also decided the agreement would be for the month of
June only. Gordon Pierce felt they should look into the Ford Park entry idea.
Gunther Hofler was for the rafting idea very much.
Ron Phillips stated he had only one item for the Town Manager's report. He reported
on bus ridership for May 1987 compared to May 1986. The shuttle for Golden Peak to
Lionshead was up 66%, East Vail was down by 16%, and the West Vail and Sandstone
routes were up from last year, for a total of a 45% increase over last year.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
