That would definately be understandable as to why the evac was delayed. Are there are there any regulations that specify a certin period of time in which an evac has to begin?

In a word, no. Evac policy differs from area to area and also changes with the weather i.e. if it's sunny and the lift breaks down, the decision to evacuate the lift will be made later.

John,
I thought the tramway board for Colorado had something about it... that a Evac must be started after x amount of time or before x amount of time.

CPTSB rules and regs doe not spefically address evacuations, therefore it fall back on the ANSI code. (for detachables) Section 3.1.1.10 "Provisions for evacuation" states that "lifts shall be provided with a means to evacuate passengers.....see section 3.3.2.5.7. "Evacuation"" states "a plan for evacuation of passengers from each aerial lift shall be developed and documented. The plan shall include:...d) an estimate of the time necessary for the total evacuation of each aerial lift. and f) an estimate of when the evacuation should begin in the event the aerial lift becomes inoperable" It DOES NOT deal with any specifics regarding starting times or length of time required for completion.
CPTSB inspectors due, as a matter of routine, review the evac plans for each lift at an area during the course of the annual licensing inspection.
I hope this helps for clarification.
