The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Former owner of the Hubcap Brewery, Dean Liotta,
commented on the roundabout and said how well it was working.
M r Bob Armour expressed his thanks to the Volunteers of Outdoor Colorado and the citizens who participated
in* North Trail construction project over the weekend. There were 189 participants on Saturday and about 100
volunteers on Sunday.
Item number two on the agenda was the appointment of two Art in Public Places Board members. Ballots were
distributed to council members and a motion was made by Paul Johnston to appoint Nancy Andreson to a one-
year term and Trish Kieswetter to a two-year term. The motion was seconded by Sybill Navas and a vote was
taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
Third on the agenda was Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1996, first reading of an Ordinance Amending Title 18
Zoning, Sections 18.04.035 (Definition of Brew Pub) and 18.28.040 L. (Conditional Use for a Brew Pub in a CSC
Zone District); Providing for the Revision to Production Limits, Area Used for Brewing and Bottling, and Limitations
on Sales for Off -site Consumption Provided in the Vail Municipal Code. Town Planner, Dominic Mauriello
presented the item and informed Council the applicant was requesting a Zoning Code amendment to modify the
definition and the conditional use criteria for a brew pub.
The PEC reviewed the proposal on June 10, 1996, Dominic said, and recommended approval of the amendment
(unanimously). There was discussion of possible impacts due to odor and loading and delivery demands. The
applicant stated that because the brewing would still occur during the same hours, the odor impacts would remain
the same. Applicant Lance Lucey stated that owner of the Crossroads commercial property would be requiring
a�orfiltration system prior to any major expansion in brewing operations, and that the system had already been
o ed. The applicant also stated that the loading and delivery demands would be reduced due to the fact that
fewer trips to pick up beer would be required, and should the Hubcap produce a higher quantity of beer, trucks
can be more fully loaded, thereby reducing the number of visits.
Dominic stated the conditional use permitting process would allow the PEC to evaluate the impacts at specific
locations in Vail. The conditional use permit for the Hubcap was subject to numerous conditions to ensure
compatibility with other uses in the zone district. Presently, the CSC zone district is the only district which allows
a brew pub. Sybill Navas moved to approve Ordinance 14, Series of 1996 on second reading and the motion was
seconded by Paul Johnston. A vote was then taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
Agenda item number four was the list Quarter Financial Report and Ordinance No. 15, Series of 1996, first
reading of an ordinance making supplemental appropriations from the Town of Vail General Fund, Parking
Structure Fund, Heavy Equipment Fund, and Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund, and Capital Projects Fund of the
1996 budget and the financial plan for the Town of Vail, Colorado; and authorizing the expenditures of said
appropriations as set forth herein; and setting forth details in regard thereto. Finance Director, Steve Thompson
presented the item, and informed council members that the supplemental appropriation was necessary to cover
additional expenditures beyond the 1996 budget appropriation. Steve explained that the Town normally does a
supplemental in the spring and again at year end to cover unanticipated expenditures. It was the recommendation
oficrnl
ll to approve Ordinance No. 15 on first reading.
K Foley thanked Steve for his explanation and detail earlier in the afternoon. A motion was then made by Paul
Johnston with a second from Sybill Navas to approve Ordinance No. 15, Series of 1996 on first reading. A vote

16 Signs, Chapters 16.12 (Administrative Procedure), 16.20.010 (Designated), 16.20 (Sign Categories), and 16.22

Item number six was Resolution No. 12, Series of 1996, a resolution allocating the balance of the Town's sales
tax refunding and improvement bonds, Series 1992B. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead presented the item and gave
the following background: In October, 1992, the Town issued bonds to build the Police facility. The original
projections were that the improvement would require an expenditure of approximately $5.7 million and the resulting
bond issue was in that amount. The actual expenditure for the project was $3,302,491. The resulting balance from
the bond issue was $2,397,509.
During the last six months there was an evaluation made as to whether it would be advantageous to refinance the
existing debt. In the course of that examination it was determined that there had never been legislative action
taken by Town Council to allocate the balance of the 1992 proceeds. Resolution No. 12 clearly sets forth the
Council's intention to allocate the bond proceeds to the 1993 street project ($868,000) and the 1996 Public Works
remodel ($1.5 million). The staff recommendation was to adopt Resolution No. 12, Series of 1996.
Paul moved to adopt Resolution No., 12, Series opf 1996, with a second from Sybil]. A vote was taken and passed
unanimously, 7-0.

process. Town Manager Bob McLaurin stated that the Vail Tomorrow process was a collaborative effort to develop
a munity strategic plan. Bob added that the effort would help ensure the Town's continued economic viability
arWIp build and foster the sense of community. The effort was initiated by the Town of Vail/Vail Associates Task
Force and would be coordinated through the Vail Tomorrow Coordinating Committee, and, as part of the effort,
the Coordinating Committee believed that the success of the effort relied upon major organizations and agencies
in the community to commit to the effort up front. Resolution No. 13 would formalize the Town's commitment to
the Vail Tomorrow process and staff recommended adoption of Resolution 13.
Rob Ford moved to adopt Resolution No. 13, Series of 1996, and Kevin Foley seconded the motion. A vote was
then taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
Eighth on the agenda was a report from the Town Manager. Bob McLaurin presented an overview of the work
plan for the analysis on GRFA (Gross Residential Floor Area).
Bob then pointed out that We Recycle had been turned over to BFI, eliminating the need for office space in the
Community Development building, and said that use of the space had not yet been determined.
Kevin Foley expressed an interest in pursuing the issue of recycling green glass with BFI.
