ADJOURNMENT 2 TOWN OF BRECKENRIDGE TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING Tuesday, October 23, 2018 PAGE 1 1 of 5 I) CALL TO ORDER, ROLL CALL Mayor Mamula called the meeting of October 23, 2018 to order at 7:00 pm. The following members answered roll call: Ms. Lawrence, Mr. Carleton, Mr. Bergeron, Ms. Gigliello, Ms. Wolfe, Mr. Gallagher and Mayor Mamula. II) APPROVAL OF MINUTES A) TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES - OCTOBER 9, 2018 With no changes or corrections to the meeting minutes of October 9, 2018, Mayor Mamula declared they would stand approved as submitted. III) APPROVAL OF AGENDA Mr. Holman stated there was one change to the agenda, which was to add Resolution No. 21, Series 2018 in support of the Red, White and Blue Fire Protection District ballot issue, noting that Council should refer to the copy of the resolution handed out at the meeting. Mayor Mamula declared the agenda approved as amended. IV) COMMUNICATIONS TO COUNCIL A) CITIZEN'S COMMENT (NON-AGENDA ITEMS ONLY; 3-MINUTE TIME LIMIT PLEASE) Mayor Mamula opened Citizen's Comment. Mr. Brett Amedro, a Breckenridge resident, stated his house was built and bought before the trail to the Troll was put in place. He further stated the troll is having many negative impacts on him and his neighbors. Mr. Amedro stated he thinks Council’s responses were careless and misinformed, and there are thousands of people a day looking into his house. He stated on Friday night someone was urinating on the trail next to his house, and if the Town is going to close the trail by the bike park, 3-4 thousand people will be on the trail by his house instead. He stated there is no mitigating people coming by his window, and people are walking around the fencing and they don't care. Mr. Amedro stated Council is putting this problem on the neighbors instead of the Town. Ms. Laura Amedro, a Breckenridge resident, stated she is disappointed because she thought Council was here to support residents before visitors, but in keeping the troll it’s the other way around. She further stated she serves on the Town’s Childcare Committee and she works locally, and the troll has changed the culture of her neighborhood. Ms. Amedro stated she wouldn't have moved to Breckenridge if she wanted to see this many people out her window. She stated she is in favor of moving the troll to another location. Mr. Drew Kosmowski, a Breckenridge resident, stated he echoes the other things that have been mentioned about the troll. He further stated he wonders how Council thinks we will cope with hundreds of people on the trail through springtime. Mr. Kosmowski stated the fence isn't keeping people out of Paradise Green, and where the trail allows access through the alley, all of the bus traffic is going down the alley. Mr. Kosmowski further stated that closing the western end of the trail will divert everyone along the neighborhood property line, and there have already been injuries on that trail and he worries about safety. He stated that even with a police car in the alley, people went around it, and we would like a solid stockade fence all along the trail. He stated the BCA seems to be spending thousands of dollars marketing the troll, so maybe they should pay for the fencing. Mr. Kosmowski also stated the trail could be moved on the other side of the creek, or the troll needs to move because BIFA is over. He stated hundreds of walking sticks are left along the trails from branches, and there are littering and parking problems. He recommends the Town move the troll or enforce regulations about it. Mr. Kosmowski then stated if Amendment 74 passes that could be his next option. Ms. Tiernan Spencer, the Assistant Director of Mountain Top Children's Museum, stated the museum is looking for a forever home. She stated the organization is operating on a month-to-month lease because Vail Resorts is selling the building. She further stated the museum offers popular programs for locals and visitors, including a summer daycamp, Kids Night Out and outreach programming during the school year. Ms. Spencer stated they have seen a 43% increase in participation over 3 years. She 3 TOWN OF BRECKENRIDGE TOWN COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING Tuesday, October 23, 2018 PAGE 2 2 of 5 also stated the museum would like to be part of the conversation about Block 11 and McCain properties and she thinks it could be an attraction for nearby businesses and homes in that area. There were no additional comments and Citizen's Comment was closed.

  • Hazard Identification and Profiles
    ANNEX C: TOWN OF BRECKENRIDGE C.1 Community Profile Figure C.1 shows a map of the Town of Breckenridge and its location within Summit County. The map also shows critical facilities and landslide deposits. Figure C.1. Map of Breckenridge Summit County (Breckenridge) Annex C.1 Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan FINAL August 2013 Geography The Town of Breckenridge encompasses approximately 3,700 acres of land, ranging in elevation from 9,017 to 14,265 feet and including a portion of the Continental Divide. The Blue River flows northerly through Breckenridge along the valley floor. It has a steep narrow channel with a slope of approximately 108 feet per mile from the Goose Pasture Tarn to the Dillon Reservoir and an average width of about 30 feet. Breckenridge is surrounded by three mountain ranges: the Ten Mile Range to the west, Bald Mountain and the Front Range on the east, and Hoosier Pass and the Mosquito Range on the south. Annual precipitation exceeds 30 inches in the higher elevations and includes over 300 inches of annual snowfall. Population The population of Breckenridge fluctuates throughout the year because of the resort nature of the community. Thus, the population of Breckenridge has two important components: permanent and peak. The permanent population is the number of people who reside in the town on a year- round basis and was estimated at 4,351 in 2011 and at 4,540 in 2010. Peak population is the total number of people who are in the town at one time, including residents, second homeowners, overnight guests, and day visitors, along with an assumed 100 percent occupancy of all lodging units.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY State and federal highways in Colorado stretch from the eastern plains to the Continental divide and the canyons and plateaus of western Colorado, and range in elevation from 3,369 ft (1,027 m) to 14,130 ft (4,307 m). As highways cross Colorado’s many mountain passes, they intersect watersheds rich in fen wetlands. Fens are wetlands with organics soil, which have formed over thousands of years. These wetlands are an irreplaceable resource that support high biodiversity, sequester carbon, and support regional hydrology. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has determined that road construction and maintenance should avoid fen wetlands whenever practicable. Efficient implementation of this policy, however, has been hindered by a lack of comprehensive information on fens surrounding the Colorado highway network.

  • Camping Vacation, 1871
    CAMPING VACATION, 1871 BY ANNIE B. SCHENCK Edited by Jack D. Filipiak Snow still rested on Colorado's higher peaks but summer had arrived. It was time to carry out a decision that had been made earlier-to take a trip to the mountains and holiday at the Twin Lakes area. "Journeying for pure pleasure" as well as to improve the health o,f "Uncle George Dwight,'' the trip began on August 4. This "journal of a camping trip in the Rocky Mountains in August, 1871,'' relates the places the party visited and their daily experiences. While the most fascinating portion of the account is the description of crossing the now abandoned Argentine Pass, it is of interest for indicating the similarity of both the satisfactions and difficulties of camping-whether it be 1871 or 1965. Our journalist is Annie B. Schenck, later Mrs. Matthew Griswold of Erie, Pennsylvania, whose record of the trip was presented to the State Historical Society of Colorado in 1964. LUPIN CLUB1 Party consists of Uncle George Dwight, Aunt Mollie (Mary), Minnie, Jeannie, Theodore and Carrie, Mr. Jam es R. Johnson of Coshocton, Ohio, and mysel.f.2 Outfit consists of one two-horse covered wagon- 1 saddle horse 1 tent 9 ft. x 9 ft. 2 buffalo robes 7 pr. blankets 3 buckets 1 wash pan 1 skillet 1 wash bowl 1 fry pan 1 tin cup 1 coffee pot 13 plates 1 2" boiler 8 spoons 1 axe 7 knives and forks 1 After the flower with eight petals because there were eight in the party.
