| | | | | | | | ITEM/TOPIC: Resolution No. 11, Series of 2019 -
A resolution to modify the Official Avalanche Hazard Map to show revisions to the Moderate (Blue) and Severe (Red) Hazard Avalanche Areas related to the Vail Meadows Avalanche Path in the vicinity of 5002 Snowshoe Lane, Lot 23, Vail Meadows Filing No.1.
|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND: The Vail Meadows Avalanche Path is located in East Vail in the general vicinity of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District water tank. This avalanche area was originally studied by Arthur I. Mears P.E. in 1975. This 1975 mapping was used as a basis for the report on snow avalanches produced in 1977 which was ultimately adopted by the Town of Vail. The applicant, Rick Schierberg, Peregrine Group Development, represented by Pavan Krueger, is requesting a modification to the Official Avalanche Hazard Map to revise the red and blue hazard avalanche area designations in the vicinity of 5002 Snowshoe Lane, Lot 23 Vail Meadows Filing No. 1, accurately reflecting the best data and modeling available. The revisions to the hazard map will result in the subject property and the adjacent parcels being largely removed from the red hazard avalanche area designation.
