Putting up temporary structures for outside sheltered dining has been a boon for smaller restaurants in town. Mort Mulliken / Special to the Daily Vail’s vibrancy last summer and through the winter was in part due to bending some existing rules. The question now is how to maintain that vibrancy. Perhaps the biggest change to last summer’s rules is “common consumption areas.” Those areas allow people to wander around with an adult beverage in hand. Business owners and guests have given glowing reviews to that change. The change was enabled by an executive order from Gov. Jared Polis.

Business owners say mandate has done its job. Author: Scott Miller (Vail Daily) Published: 3:50 PM MDT April 8, 2021 Updated: 3:50 PM MDT April 8, 2021 VAIL, Colo. — Thank you, mask mandate. Now it’s time to ride into the sunset. After a successful winter, all things considered, Vail officials are expected to lift the town’s outdoor mask mandate as of April 19, the day after Vail Mountain closes. The council in November 2020 imposed the outdoor mandate, which requires people to wear face coverings outdoors in the town’s resort villages. The town passed an emergency ordinance to impose the mandate, and can’t repeal the ordinance until its April 20 regular meeting. In the meantime, the council has instructed Town Manager Scott Robson to stop enforcement of the ordinance as of April 19.
Special to the Daily Virtually every Vail Town Council meeting agenda in recent memory has included notice of an executive session — a session held out of public view. Some residents say the council is over-using this common tool. Vail Homeowners Association Executive Director Jim Lamont, a longtime Vail government watcher, said the council is “definitely” over-using executive sessions. Many other residents are making the same argument, particularly when it comes to the Booth Heights property and a pending development agreement with Triumph Development for Lot 3 of the Middle Creek subdivision. “There’s a lot of public policy being made inappropriately that rightfully belongs in the public arena,” Lamont said.

Bighorn sheep congregate in East Vail in April on a parcel of land which could see development in the future. An update on an agreement which references the parcel, known as Booth Heights, is scheduled for Tuesday. (Gary Eno, Daily file photo) The majority of the Vail Town Council wants to avoid development on bighorn sheep habitat in an already approved project known as Booth Heights in East Vail. To do so, the council sees an avenue in executing a development agreement with Triumph Development, the local company which owns the already approved Booth Heights plans. By offering Triumph two other town-owned plots of land for development — plans known as the Middle Creek Project and the Timber Ridge Project — the council hopes Triumph would agree not to carry out the Booth Heights development.
Vail officials aren’t yet done with approvals to move the Children’s Garden of Learning , but the clock is ticking. The Vail Town Council on Jan. 19 approved spending $760,000 for a new, modular facility to be located on the southeast corner of the Lionshead parking structure. That’s the current site of the town’s parking area for charter buses and RVs. The Children’s Garden now sits on town-owned land just east of the Middle Creek Village apartments. That’s been identified as the best site for new workforce housing in town. The idea to use the Middle Creek lot for housing sprung from a Vail Town Council initiative to replace the need for housing at Booth Heights in East Vail. That idea is currently the topic of a dispute between the town and Vail Resorts, which owns the East Vail site.
