The first order of business was an update by the Colorado Department of Health on
the Eagle Mine Clean-up. Dick Parchini, the on -site field officer of the
Department of Health overseeing the construction on the mine, gave a brief summary
of what had transpired to date. He stated he expected to receive the June air
monitoring data by the next week, and noted they would put up two additional TSP
monitors outside the Middle School, one inside the school (probably in the
gymnasium), and one across from the Battle Mountain Trading Post. He commented he
hoped to have better turnaround time by sending information to Denver instead of
Oregon. He reviewed a few other highlights of the project, and then answered
questions of Council. Tom Steinberg reported what the Advisory Board to the School
Board was doing. Mike Cacioppo thanked Dick for the report; CDOH was addressing
the problems, and he appreciated it. Dick stated he would make another update next
month.
At this time, Mayor Rose announced he had just received the final vote tally of the
special election - 307 in favor of town participation in the television translator
district, and 210 against.
The second item on the agenda was a consent agenda of the following items:
A. Approval of minutes of the June 6 and 20, 1989 meetings.
B. Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1989, second reading, regarding supplemental
appropriations
C. Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1989, second reading, concerning vacating a
portion of a cul-de-sac in Intermountain
Mayor Rose read the full titles of the ordinances. Item B was pull off the consent
agenda. Mery Lapin made a motion to approve Items A and C, which John Slevin
seconded. Mike Cacioppo was concerned over the statement, in the June 20 minutes,
"Mike Cacioppo stated his concerns over this.", and wanted more specific
information. He asked Brenda Chesman to go back and listen to the tape and make
the wording specific. Eric Affeldt noted a typographical error on page 1 of the
June 6 minutes. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0.
Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1989, second reading, was discussed. Steve Barwick
stated that at first reading, $140,000 for the construction of the streamwalk had
been taken out, with $10,000 left for design work. John Slevin did not feel the
Council should spend the $10,000. Mayor Rose explained why he felt it should be
left in the budget. Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal stated her concerns over notification
of the adjacent homeowners. There was some discussion by Council. Hermann Staufer
stated he was disappointed to hear there was no need to spend the $10,000 for the
study, and explained why he felt the money should be left in the budget. Tom
Steinberg commented he totally agreed with Hermann. Joe Macy, representing Vail
Associates, stated Vail Associates agreed with Hermann, Tom and Kent. He remarked
the streamwalk should be done, if there are no negative environmental impacts.
Mike Cacioppo felt the Council must find a way to compromise in the best interest
of the community. There was some discussion regarding the complexity of the design
issue and environmental concerns. Peter Patten then explained what the $10,000
would be spent on. There was more discussion on the pros and cons and the
feasibility of the project. Tom Steinberg made a motion to approve the ordinance
as presented, and Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal seconded. Gail noted she would support
the ordinance and design study so to have it placed on the Vail Village Master Plan
for any future possibility years from now. Eric Affeldt remarked the supplemental
appropriations were for approximately $3 million, and not just $10,000. He then
reviewed what the whole amount would cover. Mike Cacioppo agreed that 98 percent
should be approved, but did not want to approve wasteful spending until it is made
right. A vote was taken and the motion passed 4-3, with Mike Cacioppo, Mery Lapin,
and John Slevin opposing.
The third item was Ordinance No. 15, Series of 1989, first reading, an ordinance
allowing employee units in Lionsridge Filing No. 4. Mayor Rose read the full title
of the ordinance. Peter Patten briefly explained what the ordinance was for;
basically a housekeeping ordinance to rectify an unintentional omission. Peter
than answered questions of Council. A motion to approve the ordinance was made by
Tom Steinberg, and seconded by Mery Lapin. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously 7-0.
The next order of business was an appeal of the Design Review Board decision
granting final approval of the Cascade Crossing project. Mike Mollica reviewed the
•application and gave brief background information on the project. He noted the
Cascade Crossing is a proposed single story retail center consisting of 10,270
square feet of leasable retail space. The property is located at 1031 South
Frontage Road West, which is immediately west of the Vail Professional Building.
The one acre site is zoned arterial business district. Mery Lapin had called the
item up for informational purposes only; it was a large project and he wanted to
know more about it. Mike responded to questions of Tom Steinberg regarding the
undergrounding of utilities. After some discussion, Mike showed Council plans and
drawings of the project. Bill Hine, architect for the project, reviewed the
project and answered questions of Council. Mery Lapin made a motion to uphold the
Design Review Board's decision regarding the Cascade Crossing project. John Slevin
seconded the motion. There was more discussion regarding sharing of the cost of
undergrounding utilities. A vote was then taken and the motion passed unanimously
7-0.
The fifth item was an appeal of the Design Review Board decision granting final
approval of the Ledges project. Mike Mollica reviewed the application and drawings
of the proposed project. He noted this project, as approved by the DRB, consisted
of six single family homes on approximately one acre. The site is zoned low
density multi -family and has an allowable density of eight dwelling units. Randy
Hodges, architect and partial owner of the project, stated it did meet the zoning
•requirements. Peter Patten gave some additional background information on the
neighborhood and site zoning. Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal made a motion to uphold the
DRB decision of the Ledges project, which Eric Affeldt seconded. A vote was taken
and the motion passed unanimously 7-0. Tom Steinberg commented the Town had looked
at this property earlier and let it slip through our hands; we should look at all
available properties to purchase with real estate transfer tax money. Mery Lapin
stated he had not had a problem with either of the two projects, but would like
more communication with staff; he needed more information. He suggested a short
description of each item on the Design Review Board agendas might help.
The sixth item of business was a presentation of the 1988 audited financial report.
Jerry McMahan, of McMahan and Armstrong, reviewed briefly the audited financial
report. Jerry, Steve Thompson, and Ron Phillips then answered questions of
Council. Jerry noted there had been a vast improvement in the Town's procedures
and record keeping over the last few years, and the Town staff should be commended.
Tom Steinberg made a motion to accept the audit as presented, which Eric Affeldt
seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0.
