Slopeside Construction began work on the CVC Noise Mitigation project (a.k.a. the Berm Project) in late summer 2016 and was able to complete berms in Areas 5 and 6 as identified in the construction plans. The project is being constructed from west to east. The berms are being built as high as possible while staying within budget for this portion of the project. The project is di-vided into 10 areas, of which Areas 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 have a berm. The Contrac-tor has installed landscaping on the parts of the berms which are completed using existing trees that were originally planned to be demolished. Construc-tion has been suspended for the season, and should resume in April.

Marcin Engineering is in the process of preparing budgets, design drawings, and bid documents for the construction of the proposed noise mitigation wall located at the far west end of the project. The wall project will be publicly bid. The preliminary schedule is to bid the project in February, prior to the next scheduled POA meeting. If everything goes as planned, we anticipate con-struction of the wall will be completed in the summer of 2018.

Landscaping activities must be constrained to either the spring or fall to fa-cilitate proper growth of trees and other vegetation. A Landscape Bid Pack-age is currently being prepared. This portion of the project is scheduled to bid in mid-February. Budget permitting, the areas of the berm completed last summer will receive additional landscape this spring. The berm being con-structed in the summer of 2017 will be landscaped in the fall if all goes well.

Cordillera Valley Club is a gated community and part of the “greater Cordillera community” located in Eagle County, Colorado, nestled in the heart of the Vail Valley. Governance for the Cordillera Valley Club is provided by the Cordillera Valley Club Prop-erty Owners Association (CVCPOA) and by Cordillera Valley Club Metropolitan District (CVCMD).

Cordillera Valley Club Design Review BoardThe CVCPOA also operates the Cordillera Valley Club Design Review Board, which reviews plans for all new construction and exterior property modifi-cations. For information about the Design Review Board, please contact Mauriello Planning Group at (970) 390-8530.

Cordillera Valley Club Metropolitan District The primary function of the CVCMD is to provide a community “public works department” which over-sees the community’s roads and infrastructure as well as shares responsibility for public safety with the CVCPOA.

Board meetings are typically held quarterly. The Annual Meeting of the membership is held in July. Please check www.cvcpoa.org for the current meet-ing schedule.

Security Gate UpdateThe gates on at both entries to the community will be replaced this year.

Please be on the lookout when going through the gates as work will oc-cur intermittently. Remember to SLOW DOWN whenever you approach either the east or west guard houses.

If you have questions, please contact the gate at 970-926-5796.

Design Review Board UpdateWe are entering 2017 with 4 new homes under construction, along with a

couple of major remodels and additions. We have not had very many projects coming through the DRB process over the past few months, but that could change as we near the spring construction season. We continue to update and notify neighbors as projects get approved.

Most of the construction projects are occurring on Beard Creek Trail and Legacy Trail in close proximity to each other, which can have impacts on the entire neighborhood. The recent snow storms have exacerbated the issues, as construction sites face challenges with access and snow removal. We understand the effects on the neighborhood and have been working closely with Public Safety to ensure that contractors and workers follow the rules and regulations set forth by the community. As the neighborhood builds out and as parking is limited, we ask for your patience as projects are completed. Please contact public safety with any concerns about parking-related im-pacts.

As a reminder, all exterior improvements to homes and property require some level of DRB approval. DRB staff can approve many applications as the staff level, which can often be approved immediately or within a couple of days. Applications and additional information can be found at www.mpgvail.com (full link: http://mpgvail.com/design-review-administration/cordillera-valley-club-drb/)

Mountain Lions in the AreaJanuary 16, 2017

A resident at CVC reported seeing a Mountain Lion (a.k.a. cougar) recently. These animals are most active during dawn and dusk hours, but can be out and about at any time. They pose danger to humans and pets, so please take these precautions:

• Never leave children or pets unattended, or leave pet food outside.

• If you encounter a mountain lion, try to convince it that you are not prey and that you may be dangerous. Don’t run. Don’t crouch down. Don’t stare into the cougar’s eyes. Pick up small children and gather together.

• If the mountain lion holds its ground, don’t turn your back. Wave your arms and shout to appear larger. Back slowly away and return to your vehicle or shelter.

• If a mountain lion approaches you, throw sticks or stones.• If the aggression escalates, beat the animal with a stick,

your fists, or other weapon.• If you see a mountain lion kill another animal, such as a

deer, leave the area immediately.• Report all mountain lion incidents to Eagle County Sheriff

at 970-328-8520 or 911

Lodge and SpaThe following information has been excerpted from an article in The Denver Post,

published on December 13, 2016 and written by Jason Blevins:

The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera will be closing down operation on February 28, 2017. The 56-room facility and its surrounding acreage is under contract to be purchased by the Concerted Care Group, a Baltimore company that wants to convert the lodge to a high-end, inpatient drug addiction treatment facility.

Residents of the Cordillera community filed suit on December 7, 2016, in US District Court in Denver, seeking a class action on behalf of at least 100 prop-erty owners. The suit argues that the owner of the Lodge, Texas-based Ber-hinger Harvard Investment Firm, lied when they pursued a 2009 modification to Cordillera’s Planned Unit Development Guide, which detailed 34 potential uses of the lodge and so-called Village Center land, including office space, athletic facilities, an amphitheater and medical offices. The suit is asking a judge to overturn the Eagle County Commission-approved treatment center.

The purchaser, Concerted Care Group has announced plans to replace the lodge with an 80-room residential drug addiction treatment and wellness center that will cost patients as much as $65,000 per month. The lodge would be closed to anyone who isn’t a patient, including Cordillera residents.

Concerted Care Group CEO Noah Nordheimer said, “We are committed to helping as many people as we can. We are hopeful (Cordillera residents) will begin to work with us instead of against us, but either way we are moving forward.”

Personalized Home Fire Risk Assessments Eagle River Fire Protection District (ERFPD) believes that Home Fire Risk As-

sessments are an important part of our comprehensive program designed to reduce the risk to communities served by the District. This page will explain what a Home Fire Risk Assessment entails and how you can request a person-alized Fire Risk Assessment for your property.

During a Home Fire Risk Assessment, members of ERFPD will visit your home, at a time convenient for you, and carry out an inspection of the inside and/or the outside of your home. These free visits focus on identification and awareness of the potential fire risks specific to your home, as well as what you can do to reduce or prevent the occurrence of a fire or other emergency situation.

Eagle River Fire offers two types of Risk Assessments: Structural and Wild-land Urban Interface (WUI). A Structural Risk Assessment focuses on the interior of your home, including early warning systems such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, sprinkler systems, and building construction. A WUI Risk Assessment focuses on the exterior of your home and the surround-ing property, including creating defensible space and ensuring the exterior of your home is as fire resistant as possible. ERFPD does not charge to conduct these assessments.

During your assessment, we will sit down and talk to you about fire safety is-sues associated with your home. With your permission, we will look at various areas in and around your home and provide recommendations for reducing the risk of fires and improving defensible space around your home. You are encouraged to ask questions as we go through the process, so that we can help you identify ways to improve your home’s safety. Once the assessment is complete, you will be provided with a summary report highlighting our recom-mendations.

To schedule a Personalized Home Fire Risk Assessment, con-tact Tracy LeClair, Community Risk Manager, at (970) 736-3103 or tleclair@eagleriverfire.org.
