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.

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).
