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.

Vail Town Manager Scott Robson’s reply letter states that the town wants alternatives instead of Booth Heights, and wants to obtain the property for preservation. ....
A parcel just east of Vail’s Middle Creek Village is being eyed as a replacement for building housing on the Booth Heights parcel in East Vail. The Vail Town Council in January launched an effort to keep housing off the 23.3-acre Booth Heights property in East Vail. That work has always been complicated, and recently became more difficult. Vail Town Manager Scott Robson on Tuesday told the Vail Town Council that Vail Resorts has “paused” its involvement in three-way negotiations regarding the parcel. Robson told councilmembers the resort company has stated a need to focus on opening its resorts, and keeping them open this season. ....
