Subject:No to Excise Tax on STRs
Date:Monday, March 10, 2025 1:46:30 PM
Good afternoon council members,
As part time residents of Vail, we wanted to write to the council and voice our concerns following
recent meetings regarding STRs and excise taxes. It is well known that Vail has struggled to
provide adequate affordable housing for its employees for decades. Add to that a more recent
push by some residents to “crack down” on the STRs. Unfortunately, it appears that the Town of
Vail is attempting to not only use the proposed excise tax as a way to fund the affordable housing
project, but also as a means to appease residents who are concerned about STRs and want to
see the council “do something”. What better way than to “stick it to the STRs” with yet another
fee/tax under the window dressing of benefitting affordable housing this time.
Unfortunately, there are many of us that are part time residents, just trying to afford their home,
that are being captured in this big net you are throwing against STRs. Personally, we have been
coming to Vail for over 40+ years utilizing STRs in the Vail Racquet Club and Timber Falls East
Vail area for all our visits prior to 1993. At that point, our family purchased a home in East Vail as
a second home so that we could continue our annual visits and maybe even retire part time to
Vail. Unfortunately, recently we were put into a financial position where we needed to either sell
the home or choose to rent the home via STR in order to afford to keep our home in the family.
We chose to keep our home and offset the costs through STR. We rent our home for less than
30% of the year, visiting personally throughout the rest of the year when we can. Our home size
has been great for large families coming out to ski, as well as families in the summer coming out
for weddings, hiking, camping or just to get away for a month and enjoy the views. All of our
guests, and other guests like them who utilize STRs, bring income to Vail throughout the year. As
one resident commented at an earlier meeting, there may be high end resort style STRs bringing
in up to $400,000 a year, that they run as a business, while others like us make less than
$40,000, just trying to make ends meet. That is us. This is our second home. For us it is not a
business, it is a means to ensure we can keep our vacation home. I am sure our story makes up
the majority of STRs in the Vail area.
As a homeowner in Vail, we already feel the squeeze with our property taxes almost doubling
these past two years. The Town of Vail has again raised our annual licensing fees for STRs. Now
you want to add excise taxes to STRs? Coupled with various comments made by council
members at meetings regarding the existence of STRs, it’s apparent that there is a sentiment to
make it painful if not unaffordable to have a STR in Vail…maybe a big business can absorb these
costs, maybe a high end STR raking in hundreds of thousands…but what about those of us who
simply want to pay for our home? Those of us who visit often and patronize Vail every chance we
get? Who follow the rules and exist peacefully within our communities?
We disagree with council woman Biszantz who was quoted in an interview as saying “To me, in
my dream scenario, each property that goes to a short-term rental, their fees or taxes or whatever
version of payment need to be covering the cost of losing a home for a local.” To that we would
ask, what about our neighbors who also own a home in Vail but live in Denver, work in Denver,
and their children go to school in Denver full time? They don’t live and work in Vail full time either.
Would they not also be "taking a home from a local"? The only difference is that they aren’t
adding to Vail’s economy by bringing in guests and revenue to Vail like we do. So why would we
want to single out the STR, the one bringing revenue to Vail, to pay even more?
8
The proposal of an excise tax under the appearance of raising annual revenue to fund affordable
housing is transparently just a way to placate local residents who have concerns over STRs by
making ia appear that the council is "doing something” by “punishing” the STR, making them foot
the bill to pay for the housing they are supposedly taking away…which studies show they are
actually are not, as council member Staufer stated, “I think the reason we’re discussing this and
the reason every community in the West is discussing this is the perception and the anecdotal
evidence is that STRs are damaging to local businesses and damaging to local housing
opportunities, then we have this study that quite frankly says the opposite.”
“What’s the purpose in regulating them? We’ve jumped past that and assumed we need to
regulate,” council member Seibert has said. “If we need to look into this further, I’m not totally
against it … at the same time, I’m not sure we’re going to get the result we’re looking for with
control on something that’s not really having that kind of impact.”
To put an additional excise tax solely on STRs to fund a housing shortage - a shortage that has
been a problem for decades - is not a solution. Why would you single out STRs as your avenue
to raise revenue, when the resort hotels, mountain activities, and local businesses are the entities
benefitting most from guest patronage? These are also the entities that utilize the local work force
the most who need the housing. With that in mind, why would the solution be to tax the short term
rentals ONLY? Your are basically financially “punishing" the STR for providing additional housing
and bringing in revenue producing guests.
If you aim to supplement the funding of affordable housing, then ALL OF VAIL should participate
in the funding because ALL OF VAIL benefits. Year round residents use the same slopes and
restaurants and shops that part-time residents, STR guests, and resort lodging guests use.
Therefore, if Vail Resorts (the one who NEEDS the employees) is going to get assistance with
building affordable housing, then the burden of subsidizing affordable housing should be shared
by EVERYONE.
In addition, by adding this to a ballot in November to vote on, you are excluding the very people
who you plan to tax. If most STRs are owned as a second home, then those owners will not be
registered to vote in local elections and do not get a say what is happening to them. This is
certainly not fair at all to those that will be impacted to not give them a voice. “I know our public
wants to see something on the ballot because they want to have a voice in the STRs, but I think
putting something on the ballot that’s not going to move the needle … I think that’s irresponsible",
said council member Barry Davis.
We feel that it is unfair to put an additional excise tax solely on the backs of the STR’s as a means
to fund the affordable housing project. This housing shortage has been a problem for decades,
yet we continue to build more resort lodging and more condos and kick the can down the road.
Now the council is willing to treat the STRs as if they are the problem and should bear the burden.
If anything is to be levied, it should be across the board to all businesses who utilize local
employees - resorts, restaurants, shops, gas stations, grocery stores, local service providers, etc.
An additional Excise Tax levied solely on an STR as a solution for a Vail-wide problem should
emphatically be a NO.
Thank you for taking the time to hear our concerns,
Sincerely
Rich and Laura Slinkman

The Vail Fire & Emergency Services and Vail Police Department are requesting the Vail Town
Council to adopt the 2025 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan in collaboration with all Eagle
County Public Safety agencies, Eagle County Emergency Manager’s Office, Colorado
Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and The Federal Emergency
Management Administration (FEMA).
The Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan for 2025 outlines key goals and objectives aimed at
reducing the impact of natural and human-caused hazards, minimizing economic losses, and
effectively implementing mitigation actions. The first goal is to protect life, property, and the
environment by identifying areas at high risk from disasters such as wildfires, floods, and
avalanches. This includes enhancing risk assessments, developing action plans to safeguard
critical infrastructure and public safety, managing mitigation efforts, and increasing public
awareness. The second goal focuses on minimizing economic losses and accelerating recovery
by strengthening disaster resiliency among governments, businesses, and the community,
promoting continuity planning, and reducing financial exposure. The third goal emphasizes the
implementation of mitigation actions through collaboration with community partners, integrating
hazard mitigation into policies, complying with federal and state guidelines, preparing for
secondary hazards, and maintaining an updated mitigation plan through regular evaluations and
modifications. These objectives work collectively to enhance Eagle County’s preparedness and
resilience against future disasters.

Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025 7
Section One: Introduction
Hazard Mitigation Planning
Hazard mitigation planning is a process in which hazards are identified and profiled; people and
facilities at-risk are identified and assessed for threats and potential vulnerabilities; and strategies
and mitigation measures are identified. Hazard mitigation planning increases the ability of
communities and other governmental entities to effectively function in the face of natural disasters.
The goal of the process is to reduce risk and vulnerability, in order to lessen impacts on life, the
economy, and infrastructure.
Severe weather and hazardous events are occurring more frequently in our daily lives. Pursuing
mitigation strategies reduces risk and is socially and economically responsible to prevent long-
term risks from natural and human-caused hazard events.
Hazards, such as severe winter weather, avalanche, severe wind, intentional attacks, landslides,
floods, lightning, and wildfires are part of the world around us. These hazard events can occur as
a part of normal operation or because of human error. All jurisdictions participating in this planning
process are vulnerable to a wide range of hazards that threaten the safety of residents and have
the potential to damage or destroy both public and private property, cause environmental
degradation, or disrupt the local economy and overall quality of life.
This plan is an update to the Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan approved in 2019. The plan
update was developed in compliance with the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000
(DMA 2000). By preparing this plan, Eagle County has demonstrated a commitment to reducing
risks from hazards and to helping decision makers establish mitigation activities and resources.
Hazard Mitigation Assistance
On June 1, 2009, FEMA initiated the Hazard Mitigation Assistance program integration, which
aligned certain policies and timelines of the various mitigation programs. These Hazard Mitigation
Assistance programs present a critical opportunity to minimize the risk to individuals and property
from hazards while simultaneously reducing the reliance on federal disaster funds.
FEMA definition of
Hazard Mitigation
“Any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from
[natural] hazards.”
33
Section One | Introduction
8 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025
Each Hazard Mitigation Assistance program was authorized by separate legislative actions, and
as such, each program differs slightly in scope and intent.
• Hazard Mitigation Grant Program: To qualify for post-disaster mitigation funds, local
jurisdictions must adopt a mitigation plan that is approved by FEMA. Hazard Mitigation
Grant Program provides funds to states, territories, Indian tribal governments, local
governments, and eligible private non-profits following a presidential disaster declaration.
The DMA 2000 authorizes up to seven percent of Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds
available to a state after a disaster to be used for the development or update of state,
tribal, and local mitigation plans.
• Flood Mitigation Assistance: This program provides grant funds to implement projects
such as acquisition or elevation of flood-prone homes. Jurisdictions must be participating
communities in the National Flood Insurance Program to qualify for this grant. The goal of
Flood Mitigation Assistance is to reduce or eliminate claims under the National Flood
Insurance Program.
• Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities: This program replaced the Pre-
Disaster Mitigation Program beginning in 2020 and provides funds on an annual allocation
basis to local jurisdictions for implementing programs and projects to improve resiliency
and local capacity before disaster events.
• Pre-Disaster Mitigation: The Pre-Disaster Mitigation grant program makes federal funds
available to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments to implement measures
designed to reduce the risk to individuals and property from future natural hazards. The
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 authorizes funding for 100 projects with total
funds of $233,043,782 in 2023.
• Fire Mitigation Assistance Grants: Section 404 of the Stafford Act allows FEMA to
provide Hazard Mitigation Grant Program grants to any area that received a Fire
Management Assistance Grant declaration even if no major Presidential declaration was
made. Fire Mitigation Assistance Grants aids communities in implementing long-term
mitigation measures after a wildfire event.
For more information about these grant programs and other funding opportunities to help
implement identified mitigation actions see Appendix E: Hazard Mitigation Project Funding
Guidebook.
Mitigation is the cornerstone of emergency management. Mitigation focuses on breaking the cycle of
disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. Mitigation lessens the impact disasters have
on people's lives and property through damage prevention, appropriat e development standards, and
affordable flood insurance. Through measures such as avoiding building in damage -prone areas,
stringent building codes, and floodplain management regulations, the impact on lives and communities
is lessened.

Summary of Changes
The hazard mitigation planning process goes through changes during each plan update to best
accommodate the planning area and specific conditions. Changes from the 2019 Hazard
Mitigation Plan and planning process in this update included: an updated plan layout, greater
efforts to reach and include stakeholder groups, greater effort to include all taxing authorities as
participants; a more in-depth funding guidebook; and changes to meet updated FEMA hazard
mitigation plan policies. The plan was also updated to reflect changing priorities for each
participating jurisdiction. Prioritized hazards of concern were identified by each local planning
team along with a review of mitigation actions. Each local planning team reviewed the mitigation
actions from 2019 and updated the timeline, priority (high, medium, low), and status. Local
planning teams were also able to add new mitigation actions to better fit any changing priorities
and concerns. The 2019 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan Review Tool was reviewed for
possible changes to incorporate into this plan update and were addressed where applicable.
These changes are described in the table below.

Goals and Objectives
The potential for disaster losses and the probability of occurrence of natural and human-caused
hazards present a significant concern for the jurisdictions participating in this plan. The driving
motivation behind this hazard mitigation plan is to reduce vulnerability and the likelihood of
impacts to the health, safety, and welfare of all citizens in the planning area. To this end, the Eagle
County Planning Team reviewed and approved goals which helped guide the process of
identifying both broad-based and jurisdictional-specific mitigation strategies and projects that will,
if implemented, reduce their vulnerability, and help build stronger, more resilient communities.
Goals from the 2019 hazard mitigation plan were reviewed, and the Eagle County Planning Team
agreed that they are still relevant and applicable for this plan update. The updated goals and
objectives for this plan update are as follows.
Goal 1: Protect Life, Property, and the Environment by Reducing the Impact of Natural and
Human-Caused Hazards in Eagle County
Objectives
A. Enhance assessment of multi-hazard risk to life, property, and the environment to identify
areas within Eagle County that are at particular risk from catastrophic loss due to wildfires,
floods, avalanches, and other hazards.
B. Develop and implement action plans to reduce potential loss of life, property, critical
infrastructure, and valued resources while protecting the safety of the public and
emergency responders.
C. Provide framework for implementation and management of mitigation actions identified by
this plan.
D. Increase public education and awareness of hazards and risk reduction measures.

Community and regional vulnerability are impacted by growing or declining populations. Areas
growing quickly may lack resources to provide services for all residents in a reasonable timeframe
including snow removal, emergency storm shelters, repairs to damaged infrastructure, or even
tracking the location of vulnerable populations. Eagle County has displayed large population
growth since 1970. However, growth has slowed in 2010 and 2020. Additional population
information broken down by community can be found in Appendix C: Planning Area Profile.
In general, certain populations may have increased vulnerability due to difficulty with medical
issues, extremes in age, and communication issues due to language barriers. Several at-risk
populations have been identified in Eagle County. These include:
• Schools
• Care Facilities
• Populations That Speak English as a Second Language
• Racial Minorities
The tables on the next page list the at-risk populations in Eagle County. For additional information
about at-risk populations see Appendix C: Planning Area Profile.

Housing Crisis
Eagle County is a highly desirable area to visit and live in, with premier ski resorts and abundant
public land for recreation. However, the cost of housing in Eagle County has increased
dramatically over the last decade because of low interest rates on secondary properties and
increases in short-term rental properties. The lack of available and affordable workforce housing
has caused many employers to have unfilled positions. Those working in Eagle County often have
to pay high rents, work multiple jobs, or commute into the county from other areas.16

Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025 19
Section Four: Planning
Process Summary
Introduction
The process utilized to develop a hazard mitigation plan is often as important as the final planning
document. For this planning process, Eagle County adapted the four-step hazard mitigation
planning process outlined by FEMA to fit the needs of the participating jurisdictions. The following
pages give a summary of the planning process that took place during the plan update.
Plan Update Process
Once Eagle County was awarded a FEMA grant for their hazard mitigation plan update, JEO
Consulting Group, Inc. was contracted to assist, guide, and facilitate the planning process and
plan assembly. To start the project, a meeting was held between Eagle County staff and JEO
Consulting Group, Inc. to discuss the planning process and a general schedule for the plan update
(Figure 5).
Figure 5: Project Timeline
FEMA Planning Process Requirements
Requirement §201.6(b): Planning process. An open public involvement process is essential to the
development of an effective plan. In order to develop a more comprehensive approach to reducing the
effects of natural disasters, the planning process shall include:
(1) An opportunity for the public to comment on the plan during the drafting stage and prior to
plan approval;
(2) An opportunity for neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard
mitigation activities, and agencies that have the authority to regulate development, as well as
businesses, academia, and other private and non-profit interests to be involved in the planning
process; and
(3) Review and incorporation, if appropriate, of existing plans, studies, reports, and technical
information.
Requirement §201.6(c)(1): The plan shall document the planning process used to develop the plan,
including how it was prepared, who was involved in the process, and how the public was involved.
45
Section Four | Planning Process Summary
20 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025
To be a participant in the development of this plan update, jurisdictions were required to have, at
a minimum, one representative present at the Round 1 or Round 2 meetings, view meeting
recordings, or attend a follow-up meeting with either JEO Consulting Group, Inc., or Eagle County.
Round 1 Meetings: Hazard Identification & Plan Integration
The intent of the Round 1 Meeting was to familiarize jurisdictional representatives (i.e., the local
planning teams), stakeholders, and the public with the plan update process, expected actions for
the coming months, the responsibilities of being a participant, and to collect preliminary
information to update the plan. After the meeting, the attendees conducted risk and vulnerability
assessments based on local capabilities, previous occurrences of hazards, and potential
exposure. In addition, local planning team members evaluated potential integration of the hazard
mitigation plan alongside other local planning mechanisms.
The Round 1 Meeting was held as a hybrid meeting where participants, stakeholders, and the
public could either join in-person or online via Google Meets. The meeting was held on Monday
October 2, 2023, at the Eagle County Building Emergency Operations Center from 10:00am to
11:30am. Virtual and in-person sign-in sheets can be found in Appendix B: Planning Process
Documentation.
Round 2 Meetings: Mitigation Strategies, National Flood Insurance Program, & Plan
Maintenance
Round 2 information was designed to identify and prioritize new mitigation measures, update
previous mitigation actions from the 2019 hazard mitigation plan, update National Flood Insurance
Program information, and identify when the plan would be reviewed and by whom. Attendees
were also asked to review the information collected from the Round 1 meeting related to their
jurisdiction through this planning process for accuracy.
The Round 2 Meeting was held as a hybrid meeting where participants, stakeholders, and the
public could either join in-person or online via Google Meets. The meeting was held on
Wednesday January 17, 2024, at the Eagle County Building Emergency Operations Center from
10:30am to 11:30am. Virtual and in-person sign-in sheets can be found in Appendix B: Planning
Process Documentation.
Public Review
Once the hazard mitigation plan draft was completed, a public review period was opened to allow
local planning teams and community members at large to review the plan, provide comments,
and request changes. The public review period was open from February 28, 2024, through March
13, 2024. Participating jurisdictions were emailed a notification of this public review period. A link
to the draft plan was also made available on the county’s website
(https://www.eaglecounty.us/departments___services/emergency_management/emergency_pla
ns.php) and a Facebook post was made to the Eagle County Public Information Office page.
Jurisdictions and the public could provide comments via phone call or email. A review of the
comments and who they were from can be found in Appendix B: Planning Process
Documentation. All changes and comments were reviewed and incorporated into the plan as
applicable.
Plan Adoption
Based on FEMA requirements, this multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan must be formally
adopted by each participant through approval of a resolution. This approval will create individual
ownership of the plan by each participant. Formal adoption provides evidence of a participant’s
46
Section Four | Planning Process Summary
Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025 21
full commitment to implement the plan’s goals, objectives, and action items. A copy of the
resolution draft provided to participating jurisdictions is located in Appendix B: Planning Process
Documentation along with any copies of adoption resolutions that have already been received.
Stakeholder and Public Involvement
To notify and engage the public in the planning process, a wide range of stakeholder groups,
State of Colorado agencies, neighboring jurisdictions, and the general public were contacted and
encouraged to participate in the plan update. Lists of the notified stakeholders, agencies, and
neighboring jurisdictions can be found in Appendix B: Planning Process Documentation.
The Eagle County Planning Team was asked to identify any underserved communities or
vulnerable populations in the planning area not already identified, so they could have the
opportunity to be involved in the planning process. The planning team identified individuals and
families where Spanish is the primary language spoken. To include this group, the public survey
was made available in Spanish, and the project website was also made available in Spanish.
Stakeholder Groups
There were 37 stakeholder groups that were identified and emailed invitations to participate in the
planning process by attending meetings. Climax Molybdenum, Vail Mountain School, Stone Creek
Charter School, Arrowhead Metro District, Lake Creek Metro District, Reudi Shores Metro District,
Timber Springs Metro, Holland Creek Metro District, Red Sky Ranch Metro District, Two Rivers
Metro District, Bachelor Gulch Metro District, and Buckhorn Valley Metro District attended
meetings. Vail Mountain School returned information about their prioritized hazards of concern.
Those hazards and reasons they were selected as a prioritized hazard are given below.
• Avalanche: Vail Mountain School is concerned with avalanches because they threaten
backcountry school programming and experiential education, risk of injury to students and
staff, blocked transportation routes, and damage to the school building.
• Drought: Direct impacts on the school are unlikely, however, drought can have a large
impact on the local ski and recreation economy. This can have a trickle-down effect on the
school budget and student population. Drought also increases the likelihood of wildfires.
• Landslides: Vail Mountain School is concerned with landslides because of the risk of injury
to students and staff, blocked transportation routes, disruption of services, and damage to
the school building.
• Severe Winter Weather: Vail Mountain School is concerned with severe winter weather’s
ability to cause injuries, blocked transportation routes, and disruption of services. The
school is often interrupted when severe weather closes Interstate 70.
• Wildfire: Vail Mountain School is concerned with a wildfire impacting families causing them
to leave the area. Wildfire could also damage the school and cause a long-term disruption
in operations and school programming.
FEMA Plan Adoption Requirement
Requirement §201.6(c)(5): For multi-jurisdictional plans, each jurisdiction requesting approval of the
plan must document that it has been formally adopted.

Section Four | Planning Process Summary
22 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025
Vulnerable Populations
Through discussions with Eagle County Emergency Management, those who primarily speak
Spanish, were identified as a potential vulnerable population in the county. Targeted outreach to
this population included a project announcement on the county website in Spanish and the public
survey available in Spanish. The Spanish Public Survey was posted on the Eagle County Public
Safety Information and Eagle County Emergency Management website, the Family Resource
Center Facebook page, the Mi Salud and Mi Charco Facebook pages, and a WhatsApp group of
166 Spanish speakers in Eagle County. Copies of the postings can be found in Appendix B:
Planning Process Documentation. Survey results from the Spanish survey were added to the
overall public survey responses and given to Eagle County Emergency Management.
State of Colorado Agencies
To comply with the additional State of Colorado plan requirements various state agencies were
contacted and emailed invitations to participate in the planning process by attending meetings or
reviewing the draft plan. Representatives from Colorado Department of Transportation, Colorado
Department of Natural Resources, and Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency
Management attended the public meetings.
Neighboring Jurisdictions
Neighboring jurisdictions were notified and invited to participate in the planning process by
attending meetings. A representative from Summit County and the City of Leadville attended the
Round 1 Meeting. No comments or revisions were received from any neighboring jurisdictions.
Public Survey
The general public was encouraged to participate in the planning process through a public survey
that was available online and by hard copy in both English and Spanish. The survey was shared
with the public using the county’s website, social media posts, and direct contacts. Copies of the
survey along with outreach documentation can be found in Appendix B: Planning Process
Documentation. The purpose of the survey was to collect specific concerns related to hazards
and projects the public have a vested interest in. It was available beginning after the Round 1
meeting and closed a week prior to the Round 2 meeting. In total there were 92 responses to the
survey from members of the public with a majority (40/92) coming from the Town of Gypsum.
Results of the public survey were shared with participating jurisdictions during the Round 2
meeting. These results helped influence hazard prioritization and mitigation actions selected by
local planning teams. The public survey could also be used by participating jurisdictions to
determine needed capabilities and future outreach preferences.
The most commonly experienced hazard events for residents included wildfire, severe winter
weather, and lightning. This was similar to the ranked level of concern for hazard events, with one
major difference, drought. The top hazards of concern included: wildfire, drought, and severe
winter weather. Wildfire fuels reduction and early warning systems were the most popular
mitigation projects of importance for the public. The full results of the public survey can be found
in Appendix B: Planning Process Documentation.

Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025 23
Section Five: Risk
Assessment Summary
Introduction
The ultimate purpose of this hazard mitigation plan is to minimize the loss of life and property
across Eagle County due to natural and human-caused hazards. The basis for the planning
process is the county and local risk assessment. This section contains a summary of potential
hazards, county vulnerabilities and exposures, probability of future occurrences, and potential
impacts and losses. By conducting a county and local risk assessment, participating jurisdictions
can develop specific strategies to address areas of concern identified through this process. This
section is meant to provide a summary of the risk assessment for Eagle County. The full risk
assessment can be found in Appendix A: Full Risk Assessment.
Hazard Identification
The identification of relevant hazards for Eagle County began with a review of the Colorado
Enhanced State Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023-2028. The Eagle County Planning Team reviewed,
discussed, and determined the list of hazards to be profiled in this hazard mitigation plan update.
It was decided that the hazards addressed in the 2019 Hazard Mitigation Plan were still applicable
and would be used for this plan update. Two hazards were added to the plan: intentional attack
and transportation incidents. The hazards for which a risk assessment was completed are listed
below.

49
Section Five | Risk Assessment Summary
24 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025
These hazards were reviewed by Eagle County and the participating jurisdictions and were
chosen to not be included in this plan due to a variety of reasons. Specific reasons for omission
are discussed by hazard below.
Animal Disease Outbreak
Animal agriculture is not a large portion of Eagle County’s local economy. In the 2022 Census of
Agriculture, the county ranks 47 out of 63 Colorado counties in livestock products sold. Eagle
County and the local planning teams felt that this hazard was of very low concern and did not
need to be profiled in the hazard mitigation plan.
Earthquake
Earthquakes were not profiled in this plan due to minimal historical incidents and low magnitudes.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there have been eight earthquakes in Eagle County
since 1900.19 These earthquakes had an average magnitude of 2.3 on the Richter Scale with the
largest being 3.4. Earthquakes at this magnitude have no potential damage.20
Erosion / Deposition
Erosion and deposition can come from several sources including water, wind, waves, or moving
ice. The most common way this occurs in Colorado is water and wind. As outlined in the Colorado
Enhanced State Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023-2028, wind deposits for Eagle County are low at
between 6.3%-17.9%.21 Erosion and deposition from water is addressed in the Floods risk
assessment of this plan. Erosion / Deposition is not specifically profiled in this hazard mitigation
plan because of these reasons.
Expansive Soils
Expansive soils are not profiled in this plan due to several reasons. In the Colorado Enhanced
State Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023-2028, the amount of Eagle County land covered by expansive
soils is low at between 1%-8.28%.22 In discussion with the planning team, there have been no
notable past events or damages from expansive soils.
Extreme Heat
Due to the high elevation of Eagle County, extreme heat is not a concern for the planning team.
Historical temperature data shows average highs in the summer between 70°F and 80°F.23
Average monthly high temperature has only been over 80°F three times since 1895. Because of
this, extreme heat has not been profiled in this plan.
Ground Subsidence
Ground subsidence risk for Eagle County is low according to the planning team. According to the
Colorado Enhanced State Hazard Mitigation Plan 2023-2028, the percentage of ground
subsidence areas in the county is between 9.87% and 28.6%.24 While there has been a history of

Section Five | Risk Assessment Summary
Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025 25
ground subsidence events in Eagle County, this has been mostly taken care of by local building
codes and development regulations. The Planning Team could not identify any further mitigation
actions so this hazard will not be specifically profiled in the plan.
Hail
Hail has rarely occurred in Eagle County in the past. Since 1996, National Centers for
Environmental Information (NCEI) data has reported two hail events in Eagle County. Both hail
events were sized at 0.75 inches and did not cause any reported damage.25 Due to the lack of
historical events, the likelihood of future occurrences is low and therefore this hazard has not
been profiled in this plan.
Pandemic
As shown by the most recent Covid-19 Pandemic, a disease outbreak pandemic can occur in any
location and have a large impact on people and the local economy. However, in discussions with
the planning team, it was decided that the Pandemic hazard would not be profiled in this hazard
mitigation plan. The planning team felt this hazard would be better addressed in plans created by
the state and local health department.
Pest Infestation
Eagle County’s primary concern regarding pest infestation is tree kill leading to increased wildfire
risk. Both the Western Balsam Bark Beetle and the Western Spruce Budworm are active in the
county and can kill fir and spruce trees.26 Pests impacting wildfire risk is discussed in the wildfire
risk assessment. Because of this, pest infestation will not be individually profiled in this plan.
Tornado
Tornadoes have very rarely occurred in Eagle County in the past. Since 1996, NCEI data reported
one tornado event in Eagle County. This tornado was an F0 and did not result in any damage.
Due to the lack of historical events, this hazard has not been profiled in this plan.
Hazard Assessment Summary Tables
The following table provides an overview of the data contained in the hazard profiles. This table
is intended to be a quick reference for people using the plan. There are five main pieces of data
used within these tables.
• Property and Crop Damage in Dollars: This is the total dollar amount of all property
damage and crop damage as recorded in federal, state, and local data sources. The
limitation to these data sources is that dollar figures usually are estimates and often do
not include all damages from every event, but only officially recorded damages from
reported events.
• Total Years of Record: This is the span of years there is data available for recorded
events.
• Number of Hazard Events: This shows how often an event occurs. The frequency of a
hazard event will affect how a community responds. Severe winter weather may not cause

much damage each time, but multiple storms can have an incremental effect on housing
and utilities. In contrast, severe wind can have a widespread effect on a community.
• Annual probability: This can be calculated based on the total years of record and the
total number of years in which an event occurred. An example of the annual probability
estimate is found below:

The following table provides loss estimates for hazards with sufficient data. Detailed descriptions
of major events are included in Appendix A: Full Risk Assessment and Section Eight: Participant
Profiles. It should be noted that NCEI data are not all inclusive and the database provides very
limited information on crop losses. To provide a better picture of the crop losses associated with
the hazards within Eagle County, crop loss information provided by the Spatial Hazard Events
and Losses Database for the United States (SHELDUS) was utilized for this update of the plan.
Data for all the hazards are not always available, so only those with an available dataset are
included in the loss estimation.

FEMA National Risk Index
FEMA’s National Risk Index is an online tool that analyzes natural hazard and community risk
factors to develop a risk measurement for each county in the United States. Eighteen natural
hazards are given a score from very high to very low. The table below gives the National Risk
Index ratings for Eagle County. Risk Index scores are calculated using an equation that combines
scores for expected annual loss, social vulnerability, and community resilience. All values fall
between 0 (lowest possible value) and 100 (highest possible value).

Hazard Profiles
Information from participating jurisdictions was collected and reviewed alongside hazard
occurrence, magnitude, and event narratives as provided by local, state, and federal databases.
Profiles for each identified hazard in the plan were created to examine their risk and potential
impact in Eagle County. These full profiles can be found in Appendix A: Full Risk Assessment.
Hazards of local concern or events which have deviated from the norm are discussed in greater
detail in each respective participant profile (see Section Eight: Participant Profiles of this plan).
Local planning teams prioritized hazards of concern from the county hazard list based on historical
hazard occurrences, potential impacts, and local capabilities. The table below lists the participants
along with their prioritized hazards of concern. It is important to note that while a jurisdiction may
not have selected a specific hazard as prioritized, hazard events can impact any jurisdiction at
any time and their selection is not a full indication of risk.

Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025 35
Section Six: Mitigation
Strategy
Introduction
The primary focus of the mitigation strategy is to identify action items to reduce the effects of
hazards on existing infrastructure and property based on the established goals and objectives of
the hazard mitigation plan. These actions should consider the most cost effective and technically
feasible options to address risk.
Summary of Changes
The development of the mitigation strategy for this plan update includes the addition of new
mitigation actions, updated status or removal of past mitigation actions, and revisions to
descriptions for consistency across Eagle County.
Selected Mitigation and Strategic Actions
After establishing the goals, the local planning teams evaluated mitigation and strategic actions.
These actions included: the mitigation and strategic actions identified by each participating
jurisdiction in the previous plan and additional actions discussed during the update planning
process. The Eagle County Planning Team provided each participant a link to the FEMA
Mitigation Ideas document to be used as a starting point to review a wide range of potential
mitigation actions. Participants were also encouraged to think of actions that may need FEMA
grant assistance and to review their hazard prioritization section for potential mitigation and
strategic actions. Members of the Eagle County Planning Team were also available to help local
jurisdictions identify additional action alternatives. These suggestions helped participants
determine which actions would best assist their respective jurisdiction in alleviating damage in the
event of a disaster.
FEMA Mitigation Strategy Requirements
Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(i): [The hazard mitigation strategy shall include a] description of mitigation
goals to reduce or avoid long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards.
Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(ii): [The mitigation strategy shall include a] section that identifies and
analyzes a comprehensive range of specific mitigation actions and projects being considered to reduce
the effects of each hazard, with particular emphasis on new and existing buildings and infrastructure.
Requirement: §201.6(c)(3)(ii): [The mitigation strategy] must also address the jurisdiction’s
participation in the National Flood Insurance Program, and continued compliance with NFIP
requirements, as appropriate.
Requirement: §201.6(c)(3)(iii): [The mitigation strategy section shall include] an action plan describing
how the actions identified in section (c)(3)(ii) will be prioritized, implemented, and administered by the
local jurisdiction. Prioritization shall include a special emphasis on th e extent to which benefits are
maximized according to a cost benefit review of the proposed projects and their associated costs.
Requirement §201.6(c)(3)(iv): For multi-jurisdictional plans, there must be identifiable action items
specific to the jurisdiction requesting FEMA approval or credit of the plan.
61
Section Six | Mitigation Strategy
36 Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025
During the update of previous identified actions and the identification of new actions, local
planning teams prioritized each identified mitigation and strategic action as high, medium, or low.
The listed priority rating does not indicate which actions will be implemented first. Generally, high
priority actions either address a major concern for the jurisdiction, have few to no challenges in
implementation, and/or garner large support from the public and administration. Low priority
actions either address a minor concern for the jurisdiction, have many challenges in
implementation, and/or may not have support from the public or administration at this time.
Medium priority actions may only have one or two of the items listed above. A mitigation and
strategic action’s priority may change very quickly as circumstances change.
The mitigation and strategic actions are the core of a hazard mitigation plan. The local planning
teams were instructed that each hazard identified in the plan must have an action that addresses
it. Mitigation and strategic actions were evaluated based on referencing the community’s risk
assessment and capability assessment. Jurisdictions were encouraged to choose actions that
were realistic and relevant to the concerns identified.
It is important to note that not all the mitigation and strategic actions identified by a jurisdiction
may ultimately be implemented due to limited capabilities, prohibitive costs, low benefit-cost ratio,
or other concerns. These factors may not be identified during this planning process. Additionally,
some jurisdictions may identify and pursue additional mitigation actions not identified in this
hazard mitigation plan.
Participant Mitigation and Strategic Actions
Mitigation and strategic actions identified by participants of the HMP are found in the Mitigation
and Strategic Actions Matrix in Appendix D: Mitigation Strategy. Additional information about
selected actions can be found in the participant profiles in Section Eight: Participant Profiles. Each
action includes the following information in the respective community profile.
• Action: General title of the action item.
• Description: Brief summary of what the action item(s) will accomplish.
• Hazard(s) Addressed: Which hazard the mitigation action aims to address.
• Estimated Cost: General cost estimate for implementing the mitigation action for the
appropriate jurisdiction.
• Local Funding: A list of any potential local funding mechanisms to fund the action.
• Timeline: General timeline as established by planning participants.
• Priority: General description of the importance and workability in which an action may be
implemented (high/medium/low).
• Lead agency: Listing of agencies or departments which may lead or oversee the
implementation of the action item.
• Status: A description of what has been done, if anything, to implement the action item.
Implementation of the actions will vary between individual plan participants based upon the
availability of existing information; funding opportunities and limitations; and administrative
capabilities of communities. Establishing a cost-benefit analysis is beyond the scope of this plan
and could potentially be completed prior to submission of a project grant application or as part of
a five-year update. Completed, removed, kept, and new mitigation actions for each participating
jurisdiction can be found in Section Eight: Participant Profiles.
62
Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2025 37
Section Seven: Plan
Implementation and
Maintenance
Monitoring, Evaluating, and Updating the Plan
Each participating jurisdiction in the Eagle County Hazard Mitigation Plan will be responsible for
monitoring, evaluating, and updating the plan during its five-year lifespan. Hazard mitigation
projects will be prioritized by each participant’s governing body with support and suggestions from
the public and business owners. Each local planning team will be responsible for plan
maintenance, the frequency of review, and how the public will be involved. This information can
be found in each participant’s profile under the Local Planning Team section. During the review,
the local planning team can report on the effectiveness of the hazard mitigation plan, the status
of projects and include which implementation processes worked well, any difficulties encountered,
how coordination efforts are proceeding, and which strategies could be revised.
In addition, each local planning team will be responsible for ensuring that the plan’s goals are
incorporated into applicable revisions of their jurisdiction’s relevant planning documents. The
hazard mitigation plan will also consider any changes in planning documents and incorporate the
information accordingly in its next update. Appendix F: Guide to Review and Update the Hazard
Mitigation Plan may also be used to assist with plan updates.
The FEMA required update of this plan will occur at least every five years, to reduce the risk of
the plan expiring. Updates may be incorporated more frequently, especially in the event of a major
hazard. Eagle County will start meetings to discuss mitigation plan updates at least nine months
prior to the deadline for completing the plan update. The Eagle County Emergency Management
Department will review the goals and objectives of the previous plan and evaluate them to
determine whether they are still pertinent and current. Among other criteria, they may want to
consider the following.
• Do the goals and objectives address current and expected conditions?
• If any of the recommended projects have been completed, did they have the desired
impact on the goal for which they were identified? If not, what was the reason it was not
FEMA Plan Maintenance and Update Requirements
Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(i): [The plan maintenance process shall include a] section describing the
method and schedule of monitoring, evaluating, and updating the mitigation plan within a five -year cycle.
Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(ii): [The plan shall include a] process by which local governments
incorporate the requirements of the mitigation plan into other planning mechanisms such as
comprehensive or capital improvement plans, when appropriate.
Requirement §201.6(c)(4)(iii): [The plan maintenance process shall include a] discussion on how the
community will continue public participation in the plan maintenance process.

successful (lack of funds/resources, lack of political/popular support, underestimation of
the amount of time needed, etc.)?
• Have either the nature, magnitude, and/or type of risks changed?
• Are there implementation problems?
• Are current resources appropriate to implement the plan?
• Were the outcomes as expected?
• Did the plan partners participate as originally planned?
• Are there other agencies which should be included in the revision process?
If deemed necessary, a private consulting firm or individual will be hired to help facilitate the plan
update process.
Continued Public Involvement
To ensure continued plan support and input from the public and stakeholders, public involvement

Unforeseen Opportunities
If new, innovative mitigation options arise that could impact Eagle County or elements of this plan,
which are determined to be of importance, a plan amendment may be proposed and considered
separate from the annual review and other proposed plan amendments. Eagle County, as the
plan sponsor, provides an opportunity for jurisdictions to compile proposed amendments and send
them to the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, and
subsequently to FEMA, for a plan amendment. Such amendments should include all applicable
information for each proposal including description of changes, identified funding, responsible
agencies, etc.
Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms
The Eagle County Planning Team utilized a variety of plan integration tools to help communities
determine how their existing planning mechanisms were related to the Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Utilizing FEMA’s Integrating the Local Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan into a Community’s
Comprehensive Plan55 guidance, as well as FEMA’s 2015 Plan Integration56 guide, each
jurisdiction engaged in a plan integration discussion. This discussion was facilitated by a Plan
Integration Worksheet or set of questions, created by the Eagle County Planning Team. This

offered an easy way for participants to notify the Eagle County Planning Team of existing planning
mechanisms, and if they interface with the hazard mitigation plan.
Each jurisdiction referenced all relevant existing planning mechanisms and provided information
on how these did or did not address hazards and vulnerability. Summaries of plan integration are
found in each individual Participant Profile. For jurisdictions that lack existing planning
mechanisms, especially smaller communities, the plan may be used as a guide for future activity
and development in the jurisdiction.

Section Eight: Participant
Profiles
Purpose of Participant Profiles
Participant profiles contain information specific to jurisdictions participating in the Eagle County
Hazard Mitigation Plan planning effort. Participant profiles were developed with the intention of
highlighting each jurisdiction’s unique characteristics that affect its vulnerability to hazards. These
profiles may serve as a short reference of identified vulnerabilities and mitigation actions for a
jurisdiction as they implement the mitigation plan. Information from individual jurisdictions was
collected at public and one-on-one meetings and used to establish their section of the plan.
Participant profiles may include the following elements:
• Location Map
• Local Planning Team
• Capability Assessment
• Plans and Studies
• Future Development Trends
• Community Lifelines
• Hazard Prioritization and Mitigation Strategy
Individual participant profiles can be found in the Eagle County and Community Appendix or

Council Memo - GEFPD Ladder Truck Lease
Attachment A. Intergovernmental Agreement for Ladder Truck Lease
69
To:Vail Town Council
From: Mark Novak, Fire Chief
Date: March 12, 2025
Subject: IGA with Greater Eagle Fire Protection District
I.Purpose
This memo is to provide the Vail Town Council with information regarding an IGA with Greater
Eagle Fire Protection District (GEFPD) for the lease of a Town of Vail fire apparatus to the
GEFPD.
II.Current Situation
In 2024 Vail Fire and Emergency Services (VFES) procured a new ladder truck. The
ladder truck it replaced (2001 Pierce) is scheduled to be sold. In 2024 Greater Eagle
Fire Protection District sold their ladder truck due to unresolvable mechanical issues.
GEFPD has contracted to procure a new ladder truck, however this apparatus is not
scheduled to be delivered until late 2026 or early 2027.
Until the time that GEFPD takes delivery of a new aerial apparatus, there are situations
in which VFES would be called to respond to the GEFPD service area with our ladder
truck. This would result in a long response time and would result in a lower level of
service within the Town of Vail while our aerial apparatus was deployed down-valley. In
order to provide for life safety for the citizens of Eagle County, staff from VFES is
proposing to allow GEFPD to use the 2001 Pierce aerial apparatus for a period not to
exceed 24 months. During this time, GEFPD will be responsible for repairs as well as
maintaining insurance coverage on the 2001 Pierce apparatus. The attached IGA
provides for a no fee lease which will allow GEFPD to use the 2001 aerial apparatus.
III.Staff Recommendation
Approve lease agreement between the TOV and GEFPD.

Council Memo - Summer Managed Parking
Staff Presentation - Summer 2025 Parking Program

TO:Vail Town Council
FROM:Parking and Transportation Task Force
Public Works Department
DATE:March 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Parking and Mobility Task Force Recommended Summer 2025 Parking Program
I.SUMMARY
The purpose of this discussion is to share the Parking and Mobility Task Force recommendation
for a Summer 2025 Parking Program with Town Council and request feedback to allow the Staff
and Task Force to return April 1, 2025, for a decision for implementation this summer.
II.BACKGROUND
The Parking and Mobility Task force met January 16th to review issues regarding summer
parking as well as an overview of the structural assessment costs needed to keep the structures
in a maintained state.
On February 4, 2025, the Town Council visited the Vail Village Structure, and during the Council
meeting reviewed a structural assessment. The assessment included an overview of additional
capital funds needed annually to keep the structures in a maintained state and the structure
stable before a major rehabilitation can be performed to extend the useful life of the structures.
The assessment shows a need for about $12.6 million in repairs over the next 10 years, as
well as an increase in annual maintenance budget to keep our aging parking structures in use.
When considering engineering costs and construction administration and escalation compared
to the approved 5-year capital budget it is a shortfall of $10,466,000 in the first 5 years or
around $2.0M per year additional and increasing to $2.5 M per year in the following 5 years.
Based on this critical need, in concert with achieving Council’s Strategic Goals, Town Council
directed the Parking and Mobility Task Force to provide a recommendation on a management
program for Summer 2025 while considering the following:
Consider a solution for employees, especially originating from down valley.
Consider the value of both guests and locals spending their money and time in Vail.
Allow for more data collection.
Consider options that align with our current pass offerings.
Allow for people to ‘linger’ in the summer.
Communication to and input from locals/local businesses will be important.
Keep it simple.
‘Walk before we run’.
81
Town of Vail Page 2
The Town staff later met with the Vail Economic Advisory Council on February 11th to gather
additional input regarding a summer program. Feedback included finding solutions for user
groups (employees, Vail locals, Eagle County locals, businesses, and guests), a simple
program that allows for collection of data to make data driven decisions, importance of
communicating the changes to user groups, and how to encourage lingering in town.
The Parking & Mobility Task Force (P&MTF) met on February 20th and March 3rd, to review
direction from Council for a summer managed parking program, review statistics from previous
summer and winter seasons to understand parking and mobility usage, and to develop a
recommendation for the Summer 2025 Parking Program.
The goals of a managed parking program in the summer season:
1). Support the Town Council Strategic Plan
Reduce the percentage of vehicles parking that originate from Eagle County
(outside of Vail) from 40% to 30%
Reduce the percentage of vehicles parking that originate from Vail from ~32% to 20%
Reduce 2014 baseline carbon emissions by 25% by 2025, 50% by 2030 and 80% by
2050
2). Address the significant need for capital repairs in the 45 and 50 year old
structures. Additional revenue is necessary for the capital repairs and routine
maintenance needed for our parking facilities and transit facilities.
3). Provide additional data collection on parking and mobility. Additional data could be
collected to understand the needs and use during summer seasons; information such as parking
pass use or outlier lot use is currently lacking. The benefit of increased and more robust data
collection with the introduction of retail rates and pass use were acknowledged to better track
progress towards these goals as well as to make data driven decisions for future programs.
4). Support and promote alternative modes of transportation from new revenue
stream. Implementing a paid parking rate would act as a deterrent to driving, helping to
reduce our GHG emissions and meet the Town Council’s goals. There are future
considerations regarding enhanced transit in winter and summer in regard to serving
new housing coming online, enhancements of the parking experience as well as
additional mobility options which are wants over needs but will require additional
funding.
5). Provide management tools to address parking demand. Implementing a paid
82
Town of Vail Page 3
parking rate would be used to manage parking demand. The parking demand in the
summer differs from the winter demand in that it is more predictable. Special events and
closures for major capital repair could cause high demand during the summer season.
Construction and maintenance projects also have a large influence on parking inventory
and demand during the summer season. For example, over the past 20 years the town
has experienced on two separate occasions, 2-3 years of significant construction activity
which greatly impacted parking. With upcoming projects, the town is about to enter another
period of increased construction activity which will have an impact on parking availability.
Concerns with implementing a managed parking program in the summer include:
Providing options for our economic drivers
Concerns with the effect on business activity, special events and sales tax if there is a
paid parking fee.
Concerns with a negative impact on employees and employee retention.
There is less data to base decisions on for summer parking management than the
winter season. There is minimal pass use, Ford Park lot use, and Vail Athletic Fields lot
use data.
Operational challenges include messaging and outreach to the community; creating a simple
rate structure and pass offerings that would complement winter operations and achieve goals;
staffing needs; long term storage of vehicles; additional transit service
III.DISCUSSION
The P&MTF reviewed the Town’s costs and revenues regarding both parking and transit, as
well future costs associated with both a summer managed parking program and possible
revenue scenarios. The objective is to be ‘revenue neutral’ in that the revenue brought in will
cover expenses for parking and transit operations, capital maintenance and repair projects,
annual maintenance projects, and support mobility programs.
The P&MTF also reviewed the use of the parking areas in the summer season, as well as
considerations for the user groups’ needs. The necessity for a simple rate and pass structure
that compliments the winter program while understanding the uniqueness of the summer
program was identified and discussed. A few areas of focus were to encourage lingering
both for guests and locals, ensure employees have options like the winter program, and
to base recommendations on data from previous summer seasons.
The P&MTF was very concerned with the significant capital needs of the parking structures,
and agreed it will be important to communicate that effectively with the community when
announcing a summer parking program.
83
Town of Vail Page 4
Managing demand was another point of discussion. Due to a lack of data during summers,
the group agreed this first summer should prioritize data gathering over revenue collection.
Data that was reviewed from the 2024 summer season included:
o Summer overnight rate fees and usage.
Vail Village & Lionshead averaged 122 vehicles overnight with heavier
use in Vail Village. This brought in about $565,000 of revenue.
Red Sandstone averaged 10 vehicles overnight and brought in $38,000 of
revenue.
o Frontage Road overflow days and structure fills are shown to be more
predictable than winter occurrences.
5 overflow parking/road days
o 57 paid parking events occurred in Ford Park and Soccer/VAF lots, these are
usually amphitheater events. 35 managed parking events in these lots which are
usually sporting events. A total of 92 out of 129 days either paid or managed.
o 529,068 transactions over 129 days. This does not include Ford Park or
Soccer/VAF lots unless there was paid event parking. This averages to 4,101
transactions a day. Winter 2023-24 averaged 4,153 transactions a day making
the volume of parking similar over the seasons.
o Vail Village makes up about 51% of recorded transactions.
o The 2024 summer season was compared to previous summer season where the
Town saw large construction projects such as the hospital. These summer
seasons had an increase in transactions and a large increase in the number of
structure fills. Overflow parking days increased to 17 in 2018 and 14 in 2019.
o Day of the week usage does show an increase on the weekends, especially
Sundays. Because overflow parking needs are more predictable and less
frequent in the summer, the P&MTF recommends not having different rates for
differing days of the week. One retail rate structure all summer.
o Pass use for the winter 2023-24 season was 20% of transactions, and 29% for
the current season. This information was used to assume 25% transactions use
for the upcoming summer season to predict revenue of different retail and pass
rates that were considered.
The dates of the season were discussed. Previous seasons had a start of the Friday before
Memorial Day and continued through the end of September or early October. It is
recommended that the start is a week later this year than previously due to an earlier Memorial
Day and the activity in town for Memorial Day weekend seems to be varied and related to
weather. The end date is recommended to stay consistent from previous years. The last
weekend in September. There are events such as concerts and farmers’ markets that proceed
and extend past these dates, but the Task Force felt the shortened summer season from 129
days to 122 days would be beneficial. The P&MTF ultimately recommends a start date of
Friday, May 30 and an end date of Sunday, September 28.
84
Town of Vail Page 5
Parking Rates were discussed at length. Different renditions of both an hourly rate and a flat
daily rate were considered. The recommendations come from considerations of creating rates
that will provide data collection, promote lingering, aid in funding the needed maintenance and
repair on the structures, could be scalable for future seasons, and provide a simple structure
that compliments the winter parking program.
o When considering the use of the parking areas, summer operations see an
increase in the Ford Park and Soccer/VAF usage. The need to provide access to
park amenities, but also to ensure parking inventory for events steered the
P&MTF to recommend the same rate for the main structures as these lots.
o The P&MTF also saw opportunity to provide a more economical fee structure at
the Red Sandstone garage. This could benefit both pass holders as well as
gusts looking for a bargain.
o An hourly rate is recommended by the P&MTF in all but Red Sandstone to
provide a simple rate structure that considers the duration and turnover we
see in the summer season.
More than 50% of the transactions in the main structures have a duration
of 3 hours or less.
The hourly rate addresses the issue of price sensitivity for these shorter
stays, but also addresses the goal to promote lingering, by having an
upper day limit.
The P&MTF reviewed options of differing free periods. They recommend continuing the
‘FREE after 3’ period where if someone enters after 3p.m., there is no fee until 4a.m. They
also recommend a ‘first hour FREE’ for retail rates to mimic the winter program and
keeping in mind the high percentage of transactions occurring in the first 3 hours. A two-hour
free period before the daily rate at Red Sandstone was recommended to mimic the winter rates
and acknowledge the location.
The P&MTF recommends the max daily retail rate of $10 for all but the Red Sandstone
garage, which they recommend a max daily rate of $5.
There was a consensus that the current overnight rates are low compared to market and have
potential to be raised to better reflect hotel parking rates. In meeting with the Vail Economic
Advisory Council, it was recommended they should be the same as winter. In the first meeting
of the Task Force where more members were present, there was consensus to raise the rates
to match winter to have a consistent rate year-round. However, during the follow up meeting
there was a mix of thoughts to not to change too much. This change does not affect the majority
of users and could encourage guests to use the various alternate means to get to Vail similar to
our winter guests and encourage carpooling to come into the Villages when using a STR due to
limited parking availability at the accommodation.
The other issue was each increase of $5 in overnight fee generated nearly $60K in revenue,
which was something they considered. Despite this, the P&MTF recommends keeping the
overnight rate the same as last summer in the structures and garages, with no overnight
85

parking in the Ford Park and Soccer/VAF lots. This was largely due to the direction by
council to ‘walk before running’. The day rates begin to address the funding for maintenance,
as well as allow for the collection of data before other decisions are made in relation to the
summer parking program.
After the meeting staff reviewed the parking data of employee plus pass use both last summer
and this winter. It allowed overnight parking in both Lionshead and Red Sandstone with limited
parking in Vail Village. There is a use pattern near three housing projects with minimal parking
provided: First Chair, Solar Vail and now Residence of Main Vail. The completion of Timber
Ridge in 2026 and possibly West Middle Creek would increase the potential need for resident
parking. The public parking structures were not intended to be the fall back or discounted
parking storage for these developments. Staff would recommend this situation continue to be
monitored and adjustments may need to be made to the overnight privilege of the employee
plus pass and overnight rates.
The Ford Park and Soccer/VAF stand out in their change of use from season to season. These
lots are used for event parking as well as event staging which makes them more suited to
pricing similar to the structures with a shift to Lionshead and Red Sandstone as lots catering
more towards employee and employee+ pass use. Ford Park parking lot is considered
prime parking for the activities taking place there. The Ford Park and Soccer/VAF lots
require turnover due to the paid event parking. The P&MTF also recommends the event
parking rate be raised from $15 to $20 due to the high demand for these lots during the
events.
The Task Force recommends that all purchased winter parking passes be able to be used
this summer.
The Task Force also recommended that the existing Vail and Eagle County local pass be
extended.There was strong agreement that these passes should not be granted free parking
but a similar discount program as in winter. The discounts granted with the Local Pass are 2
hours free and 50% off the retail rates.

Depending on whether the Employee Plus is permitted with overnight privileges, there may not
be a need to have a summer employee plus for sale, or if allowed there is no need for a
Business Premier as there is no additional benefit.
Estimated Revenue
Using the proposed parking rates as well as assumptions that use patterns match previous
summers, and pass usage was approximately 25 % of transactions (similar to the past two
winters), the potential revenue is projected at:
Retail rate (daily transactions) revenue $1,300,000
Daily transactions from discounted
passholders
$ 200,000
Pass sales (expect minimal)$ 25,000
Event parking (rate increase)$ 20,000
Ford Park daily rate estimate $ 15,000
Total $1,560,000
If summer overnight rates were the same as winter overnight rates, it may generate another
$300,000. This was discussed by the task force but not included in recommendations.
Estimated Cost
The implementation of the summer managed parking program would be an increase of
$100,000 for parking operations, pass sales personnel, enforcement and communication plan.
The introduction of summer managed parking should be complimented with an increase in
summer transit service to meet an increased demand as well as provide more frequent service
to outlying areas. The staff recommends increased service levels similar to the early winter
service which takes place in the beginning of ski season. This would be slightly modified to fold
the hiker express into the East Vail service. This will provide additional transit service and
frequency to the parking spots in West Vail. The parking in West Vail would remain free besides
overnight oversized vehicles.
The cost of the increased bus service to an early winter service schedule for the entire summer
is nearly $500,000. A portion of this cost is conversion of seasonal employees to full time
employees, as they would be working both winter and summer. Even though this is a cost, the
benefit of recruiting fewer seasonal drivers each winter. Seasonal bus driver recruitment over
the years has been challenging as time has gone on.

Demand Management System
A summer parking program complimentary of the winter
program provides tools to address demand events and provide
data.
•Event parking
•Events: 57 paid events, 35 managed events
•Demand caused by anticipated construction projects
•Summer 2018 →17 overflow parking days
•Summer 2019 →14 overflow parking days
•Compared to 2024 at 5 overflow parking days
•Reduced parking inventory from closures for major capital
repairs
•Collecting additional use data 97
Town Council Strategic Plan
•Reduce the percentage of vehicles parking that originate from
Eagle County (outside of Vail) from 40% to 30%
•Reduce the percentage of vehicles parking that originate from
Vail from ~32% to 20%
•Reduce 2014 baseline carbon emissions by 25% by 2025,
50% by 2030, and 80% by 2050.
98
Summer 2024 Program Review & Data
•Current summer paid parking: Overnight & Ford events
•129-day season: Friday before Memorial Day through the
end of September
•Events: 57 paid events, 35 managed events
•Ford & Soccer/VAF are reserved for event staging and/or have
high demand for event parking
•Vail Transit and CORE Transit saw increased use
99
Summer 2024 Program Review & Data
•529,068 recorded transactions, 129 days
•Avg. 4,101 transactions/day
•Winter 2023-24 averaged 4,153 transactions/day
•Over 50% of transactions have a duration less than 3 hours in the main
structures.
•Vail Village 52%of transactions
•Lionshead 31% of transactions
•Red Sandstone 2% of transactions
•Increase in parking demand on weekends, especially Sundays.100
Direction from Council to P&MTF in
Considering the Summer Parking Program
•Consider solutions for user groups
•Employee, Vail Local, Eagle County Local, Businesses,
& Guests
•Data collection to help in future decision making
•Importance of communicating changes
•Simple
•Encourage lingering in town
•‘Walk before you run’
101
Task Force Specific Considerations
•Hourly vs.flat rates
•Focus on rates that would:
•Provide data collection
•Promote lingering
•Aid in funding capital maintenance and repair needs for the
structures
•Be scalable for the future seasons
•Provide a simple rate structure that compliments the winter
program
•Duration of stay and turnover in summer
•Address price sensitivity for these shorter stays and promote
lingering by having a daily max rate 102
Task Force Specific Considerations
•Encouraged pass use will provide desired data
•Early and late summer season activity in town seems to
be varied and weather dependent
•Shift in demand for certain lots from winter to summer
•Ford Park and Soccer lots see high demand and a need for
turnover to support park amenities and events
103
Task Force Specific Considerations
•Free periods
•Guest experience and transaction duration
•Mimic winter rates
•Consider the high percentage of transactions occurring
under 3 hours
•Max daily rates were reviewed
•Considered difference of winter and summer experience
•Demand shifts in parking areas
•Price sensitivity and behavior modification
104
Task Force Specific Considerations
•Overnight rates
•Not consistent with winter rates or market rate
•Consideration that every $5 raised brings $60k of revenue
•‘Walk before we run’
•Housing projects with limited parking inventory
•Event rates
•High demand for event parking
•Need to encourage turnover to free up parking inventory for
event parking

Series of 2025
A RESOLUTION OF THE VAIL TOWN COUNCIL MAKING FINDINGS ON
THE APPEAL OF CASE B24-0412, CONCERNING A BUILDING PERMIT
APPLICATION FOR 3070 BOOTH CREEK DRIVE, VAIL, COLORADO,
AND AFFIRMING THE DECISION OF THE BUILDING OFFICIAL
WHEREAS, the Reggie D. Delponte Residence Trust 1 and Reggie D. Delponte
Trust 2 (collectively the "Appellant") own the real property located at 3070 Booth Creek
Drive, Vail, CO, more particularly described as Lot 7, Block 3, Vail Village Filing No. 11,
Vail, CO (the "Property");
WHEREAS, the Appellant requested a building permit for an addition to the
residence on the Property, in case #B24-0412 (the "Application");
WHEREAS, on December 4, 2024, the Town's Building Official denied the
Application;
WHEREAS, on December 18, 2024, the Appellant filed an appeal of the Building
Official's decision, which appeal is governed by § 10-1-13 of the Vail Town Code;
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2025, the Town Council held a properly-noticed hearing
on the appeal, and the Appellant was provided with an opportunity to present evidence in
support of its appeal; and
WHEREAS, following the hearing, the Town Council directed the Town Attorney
to prepare a Resolution with written findings regarding the appeal.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF VAIL:
Section 1.Findings. Having heard and considered the evidence and arguments
presented by the Appellant, the Appellant's counsel and Town staff, the Town Council
hereby finds and determines as follows:
a.Pursuant to the Rules of Procedure adopted by the Town Council at the
public hearing, which rules were approved by the Appellant's counsel prior to the public
hearing, it was the Appellant's burden at the public hearing to prove by a preponderance
of the evidence that the Building Official's decision was incorrect.
b.It is undisputed that the Appellant has installed and/or maintained numerous
encroachments within Tract C of Vail Village Filing No. 11, which is adjacent to the
Property. These encroachments are located in the stream tract for Gore Creek. The
Town owns Tract C in fee simple, subject to easements of record.

C:\USERS\EASYPD~1\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\BCL TECHNOLOGIES\EASYPDF
8\@BCL@840770CE\@BCL@840770CE.DOCX
c.It is also undisputed that for more than 12 years, the Town has requested
and demanded that the encroachments be removed from Tract C, but the Appellant has
refused to remove them under any circumstances. The Appellant's refusal to remove the
encroachments from Town-owned property has resulted in many years of litigation, at a
massive cost to the Town and its residents, and it has also resulted in the deterioration of
Gore Creek.
d.Vail Town Code § 12-3-9(B)(3) states as follows: "The Town shall not issue
a building permit if, at the time of application, the applicant maintains any activity on any
property within the Town that is not in full compliance with all applicable requirements of
this Code."
e.On December 4, 2024, the Building Official denied the Application, stating
that "the Town cannot issue a building permit, because the applicant continues to
maintain an unlawful trespass on Town-owned property that is adjacent to the property
that is the subject of this application."
f.On December 18, 2024, the Appellant submitted its appeal under Vail Town
Code § 10-1-13. The Appellant's counsel agreed to bypass the interim step of a Board
of Appeals decision, so the appeal proceeded directly to the Town Council under § 10-1-
13(B).
g.As the basis for its appeal, the Appellant alleges that the encroachments on
Tract C do not constitute an unlawful trespass, because they are authorized by a private
covenant amendment enacted by some of the residents of Vail Village Filing No. 11 in
2017 (the "Amendment"), without the Town's consent. The Amendment purports to
authorize encroachments on Tract C, again without the Town's consent, in direct violation
of the Town's stream tract regulations.
h.In 2016, prior to the Amendment, the Colorado Court of Appeals determined
that the encroachments on Tract C constituted a trespass as a matter of law. The
Appellants did not appeal the 2016 decision, so that decision remains the law applicable
to this case.
i.In 2020, the Colorado Court of Appeals addressed the relevance of the
Amendment to the damages being sought by the Town for such trespass, in an entirely
different case, and expressly stated as follows: "Assuming, without deciding, that the
Amendment is valid, we turn to how the Amendment might affect Vail's claimed damages
for fair market rental value and restoration." (emphasis added). The Appellant's counsel
has repeatedly ignored this language in their legal arguments.
j.The Appellant's counsel ask the Town Council to rely on language from a
2018 district court order regarding damages for the pre-2017 trespass. However, the
2018 order is no longer relevant or controlling, because that order was appealed, and that
appeal resulted in the 2020 Colorado Court of Appeals opinion referenced above.

3/12/2025
C:\USERS\EASYPD~1\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\BCL TECHNOLOGIES\EASYPDF
8\@BCL@840770CE\@BCL@840770CE.DOCX
k.The Appellant's counsel also ask the Town Council to rely on a 2022 district
court order in a case regarding the Design Review Board's conditional approval of the
proposed addition to the residence on the Property. However, in that case, the
Appellant's counsel never asked the district court to rule on the validity of the Amendment
and the district court did not so rule.
j.Neither the Appellant nor its counsel introduced any evidence at the hearing
of an actual, binding, enforceable ruling from any court finally determining that the
Amendment is valid. The Appellant and its counsel clearly have access to courts, having
litigated against the Town about the Property for almost 10 years, so they have had ample
opportunity to obtain such a ruling, but have failed to do so.
k.At the public hearing, it was not the Town's burden to produce evidence that
the Amendment is invalid – instead, it was the Appellant's burden to produce evidence
proving that the Amendment is valid. Because the Appellant failed to introduce any
competent evidence that the Amendment is valid, the Appellant failed to prove by a
preponderance of the evidence that the encroachments on Tract C do not constitute an
unlawful trespass or that the Building Official's decision was incorrect.
l.The public health, safety and welfare will not be served by allowing the
Appellant to obtain a building permit while continuing to maintain an unlawful trespass on
adjacent Town-owned property, especially when the unlawful trespass has caused and
will continue to cause damage to Gore Creek.
Section 2.Decision. Based on the foregoing findings, the Town Council hereby
affirms the decision of the Building Official to deny the building permit in Case #B25-0412.
INTRODUCED, READ, APPROVED AND ADOPTED THIS 18th day of March,
2025.

asked to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 4, making supplemental appropriations and
adjustments to the 2025 budget. This supplemental reflects $52.7M of capital projects that span
more than one year and need to have funding re-appropriated to the current year, in addition to
$3.5M in funding for new requests and adjustments.
II.DISCUSSION
2024 RESULTS
Across all funds, revenues totaled $127.0 million. Excluding large one-time grant revenues from
federal grants and the Vail Reinvestment Authority capital reimbursement, 2024 revenues
totaled $114.5 million, up $7.6 million from 2023 and up $1.3 million from budget.
Sales Tax collections totaled $47.3M in 2024 including both the general 4.0% sales tax
($42.2M) and the new 0.5% housing sales tax ($5.1M). Compared to the prior year, sales tax
revenues were up $351.1K, or 0.7%, and up $2.0 million, or 3.3%, compared to budget. 2024
summer season collections were up 2.7%, accounting for the majority of the growth from the
prior year. The January – April winter period saw a decline in collections of (0.7)%, while
November – December experienced an increase in collections of 0.9%. Inflation, as measured
by the consumer price index, was up 2.9% form the 12-months ending December 2024.
1% Real Estate Transfer Tax collections totaled $9.3 million, a $1.4 million or 17% increase
compared to 2023. 2024 experienced both an increase in the number of property sales (up
5.7% from 2023), and an increase in the average collection amount (up 10.2% from 2023). A
total of 246 properties were sold (excluding timeshares), with an average collection amount of

Construction Use Tax collections of $3.1 million were up $540.4K or 21.3% from 2023.
Construction use tac collections for 2024 were a mix of business and residential construction
projects. There were no major commercial redevelopments in 2024.
Lift tax collections of $6.7 million were up 3.1% or $209.1K compared to 2023. Lift Tax
collections for the late winter season into summer (January through October) were tracking up

8% decrease compared to the same time period in 2023.
Parking revenues totaled $9.4 million flat compared to 2023.
Investment Earnings in 2024 totaled $8.3 million, up $700K compared to 2023.
2024 net expenditures totaled $153.6 million compared to $218.8 million budgeted. Of the
$65.2 million budget variance, $52.3 million is requested for re-appropriation for capital projects
currently underway in the Capital, RETT, Housing, Heavy Equipment, and Residences at Main
Vail Funds. The remaining savings of $12.5 million was a result of savings from capital
projects ($5.5), town-wide staffing vacancies ($2.1M), reduced event spending ($882K), fewer
health insurance claims ($332K), and reduced general operating expenditures ($3.7M) such as
professional fees, general supplies and materials, programs, and fuel and vehicle supplies.

2025 SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION
The main purpose of this supplemental is to re-appropriate funds for capital projects budgeted in
2024 and are continuing into this year, or projects that did not begin as planned. There are also
adjustments needed to reflect events or decisions that have occurred since the 2025 budget
was finalized.
General Fund
Revenue
General Fund revenues have been increased by $415,047 offset by a decrease in grant
revenues totaling $236,152. The majority of the increase in revenue, $231,332, reflects project
reimbursements and grant funding that will be directly offset by corresponding expenditures,
including the following:
• $207,300 for the continuation of initiatives associated with the grant from the Colorado
Department of Local Affairs for the Affordable Housing Capacity Building project. This
grant provides an 80% match.
• $24,032 for the continuation of the High Visibility Enforcement grant from the Colorado
Department of Transportation due to the difference in the State’s fiscal year.
The remaining $183,715 increase in revenue includes the following:
• $131,652 increase in daily parking sales revenue. 2024 parking revenues totaled $8.1M,
exceeding budget by $247K. Staff has adjusted 2025 parking revenues to be more in
line with 2024 collections while also reflecting current year to date trends. The total
2025 proposed amended budget is $7,623,000 down 3.0% compared to prior year.
• $44,000 increase in estimated electric vehicle charging station revenue (totaling $66,000
for 2025) due to the new pricing structure implemented on March 1st. This pricing
structure is expected to cover average annual operational costs of the Town’s public
charging stations of approximately $76,000.
• $12,883 increase in the internal administrative fee from the Internal Employee Housing
Rental Fund due to the increase in rental revenue associated with the newly purchased
East Vail Lodging #35 and Hamlet #3 units.
Revenue has been decreased by a total of $236,152 due to uncertainty around the collectability
of the federal FTA 5311 Transit Operational grant awarded by the Colorado Department of
Transportation. There has been no official change in this grant’s status. However, the Town has
not received a definitive communication from the grant administrator that these funds will not be
frozen. In accordance with a conservative budgeting philosophy, this grant revenue is removed
from the budget. The associated expenditures within the Town’s transit program remain in the
budget, funded by general revenues.
General Fund expenditures are proposed to increase by $1,035,657, offset by a decrease in
expenditures of $50,000. $231,332 of the increased expenditures will be reimbursed by the
revenue items listed above while $412,558 represents planning projects that have not been
completed and are requested to be rolled forward including West Lionshead ($130,000), Civic
Area ($78,772), Transit Optimization ($19,680), and the Destination Stewardship Plans
($184,106). The remaining $289,942 represent new requests:
• $290,042 for the annual management fees, commissions, and TOV in-kind usage fees
for the Donovan Pavilion and Grand View Room. This is offset by the rental revenue for
these two rooms already included in the budget.
• $24,900 for an opinion survey related a potential STR Excise Tax
• $21,000 for the replacement of small Police Department equipment for traffic
enforcement, including four speed radars and ten breathalyzers. The equipment to be
119
- 4 -
replaced is approximately 15-years old and has a an expected replacement cycle of 10-
years.
• $4,000 for the annual cost of a subscription to a GIS mapping software in partnership
with the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District
• $(50,000) decrease for the shift of annual parking entry system repair and maintenance
costs from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund for consistent accounting
treatment. As costs have increased, replacement of various component of the parking
entry system have exceeded the Town’s capitalization threshold of $5,000, requiring
recognition in a capital fund. This will be offset by an increase of $50,000 to parking
capital and will have no net impact to total budgeted expenditures across all town funds.
This supplemental budget includes an adjustment to the transfers allocated to the Timber Ridge
Fund for the town’s investment in the Timber Ridge redevelopment. The shift is based on
available fund balances and follows best practices by prioritizing the use of the most restrictive
funds first. Based on updated budget projections the Housing Fund has a greater available
balance than originally projected. As a result, staff recommends utilizing these funds first,
reducing the transfer from the General Fund by $10.2 million and increasing the transfer from
the Housing Fund by the same amount.
The above adjustments to the General Fund 2025 budget result in an estimated fund balance of
$46.5 million by the end of 2025, or 74% of annual revenues in a normal year.
Capital Projects Fund
Budgeted revenues will be adjusted by an increase of $4,885,778, offset by a decrease of
$15,397. The increases in revenue are related to reimbursements and grants for capital projects
originally budgeted and committed to in prior years but are being re-appropriated due to project
timing. These revenues will be directly offset by re-appropriated project expenditures. These
include:
• A reimbursement of $1,741,906 from the Vail Reinvestment Authority (VRA) for the
planning and design phase of Dobson redevelopment ($1,741,906)
• A total of $1,897,829 utilization of the Holy Cross franchise fee and underground
enhancement funds for the conversion of overhead electric lines to underground lines in
conjunction with the planned fiber optic project. These funds are built-up over time and
recognized when used towards applicable projects.
• $750,000 Multi-Model Option Funds grant to be used towards the design of an expanded
Mobility Hub at the Vail Transportation Center
• $250,000 Colorado Energy Office grant towards the design of a Geothermal Energy
District
• $154,079 for the remaining balance of the CDOT grant to be used towards electric bus
electric charging infrastructure
• $91,964 Multi-Model Option Funds grant to be used towards the continuing bollard
infrastructure project
At this time, staff has not re-appropriated grant revenues for the $1.6M FTA 5339(B) grant
awarded last year towards the replacement of two electric buses due to uncertainty around the
collectability of funding due to impacts of federal funding freezes. The town is optimistic it will
receive the funds; however, the staff has not received a definitive communication from the grant
administrator that these funds will be dispersed. In accordance with a conservative budget
philosophy, the corresponding revenues have not been included in the budget. These buses
have been ordered, and the town does expect to receive them early this year.

- 5 -
The $15,397 decrease in revenue reflects an adjustment to the transfer from the RETT Fund for
the Dobson Redevelopment project. The original 2025 budget included a transfer of $762,546,
which was allocated in the 2024–2029 Five-Year Plan for routine maintenance at Dobson.
However, since the redevelopment project will eliminate the need for certain maintenance
expenses during this period, these funds were transferred to go towards the cost of
redevelopment. $15,397 of those funds were used in 2024 towards maintenance.
Staff is requesting to supplement 2025 expenditures by a total of $26,613,769 of which
$24,298,294 represents projects budgeted in 2024 but not yet completed/received such as the
underground utility conversion project ($4.2M), placeholder for replacement of snowmelt boilers
($2.1M), replacement of two buses ($2.1M), the ongoing Dobson Arena redevelopment ($1.7M),
neighborhood road projects ($1.5M), and the design of the Vail Mobility Hub expansion ($1.5M).
Please see the Capital Projects Fund statement for a full list of all re-appropriations.
The remaining $1,262,844 increase in expenditures is for new requests/adjustments,
including the following:
• An increase of $500,000 for prioritized structural repairs to extend the life of the Vail
Village and Lionshead parking structures, as presented to council in the Parking
Structural Assessment at the February 4th meeting.
• An increase of $234,468 for the purchase of Employee Rental Units as a true-up to the
final negotiated costs for units that went under contract during 2024. Initially, the
Homestake Vail unit was going to be purchased and sold back to the community.
However, it was later decided that this unit was a better fit as a town of Vail employee
unit, decreasing the budget funds available for the Hamlet #3 unit, which closed in
January 2025.
• A $170.0K increase in the placeholder for an updated Human Resources/Enterprise
Information System to accommodate the inclusion of payroll, timekeeping, and
performance management, learning, and possible recruitment. The original budget only
considered a benefits management system previously managed manually with
spreadsheets. After a preliminary review of the solutions and an evaluation of our current
system processes, staff is requesting additional funds for the full HRIS system to
manage the full employee lifecycle. This will enhance the employee experience by
providing self-service options, automate data entry and updates across HR and Finance
functions, and reduce errors and administrative burden. It will also ensure compliance
with record keeping, labor laws, and tax laws. The total amount of the requested
placeholder is $290.0K for implementation and one year of SAAS costs. Once the new
system is operational, there will be an estimated offset in expenditures of approximately
$75,000 annually.
• $49,900 for the implementation of a software to track the Town’s progress on the
Council Strategic Plan. This is offset by savings in strategic plan projects in the General
Fund for 2024. This includes a one-time setup fee of $21,875 and an annual licensing
fee of $28,025.
• $47,000 to install bullet-resistant glass to the Police Department administrative area for
security enhancements.
• $45,074 for the outfit the final two Police Department fleet expansion vehicles. Due to
cost escalations during the three-year period in which these vehicles were being
acquired, there was not a sufficient balance remaining in the 2024 budget to
reappropriate towards these costs.
• $40,000 for replacement of the Level 4 Parking Entry Equipment at the Red Sandstone
Structure. This equipment is approximately 3-years old and is unable to be repaired.
• $36,000 for the monthly platform licensing and hosting fee for the new UbiPark parking
software which was implemented during the Fall of 2024.
121
- 6 -
• $32,248 for the replacement of siding on the West Side of the Children’s Garden of
Learning needed due to sun warping damage. This is offset by savings in the final costs
for the CGOL facility relocation in the 2024 amended budget.
• $27,082 to repair the drain lines in the Seibert Fountain equipment vault needed due to
freeze damage. This is offset by savings in a placeholder for pump replacement in 2024
that was not needed.
• $17,300 for the implementation of an artificial intelligence-assisted software to assist in
more detailed and accurate reporting of parking data. This includes a one-time setup fee
of $6,600 and an annual licensing fee of $10,700.
All of the above adjustments will result in an estimated fund balance of $4.6 million by the end of
2025.
Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) Fund
Budgeted revenues will be adjusted by an increase of $315,574. The majority of this or
$291,192 is for revenue reimbursements and grants originally budgeted and awarded in prior
years but delayed due to project timing. These revenues will be directly offset by re-
appropriated project expenditures. This includes:
• $205,309 for the contribution from the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District towards
the Dowd Junction Stabilization project.
• A $75,000 contribution from the Evergreen Development towards the Middle Creek on
TOV-owned land as required by the development process
• $10,883 for the bear education grant from Colorado Parks and Wildlife
The remaining $24,382 increase in revenue is related to the following adjustments:
• $14,382 adjustment to the Golf Course lease revenue budget with the Vail Recreation
District (VRD) to agree to the lease agreement. These funds are offset by an equal
increase in expenditures toward the Recreation Enhancement Fund, which is built-up
over time and utilized towards enhancements to TOV properties managed by the VRD.
An additional increase to expenditures of $16,134 is included for revenue collected
above the 2024 budgeted amount.
• $10,000 in donations from the Kosloff and Winmax Foundations towards the Winterfest
program, which is offset by an equal increase to expenditures for the Winterfest
program.
Staff is requesting to supplement expenditures by a total of $7,862,221 of which $7,446,894
represents projects budgeted in 2024 but not yet completed such as the TOV contribution to the
replacement of Athletic Field restroom and concession building ($1.0M), the construction of the
Ford Park Art Space ($963.4K), the continuing rehabilitation of the Pedestrian Overpass over
I70 and other pedestrian bridge repairs ($703.3K), the TOV contribution to the Gymnastics
Center HVAC replacement ($691.2K), the replacement of the Ford Park turf field with a
synthetic alternative ($472.0K), and the ongoing re-stabilization of the Dowd Junction retaining
wall and bike path ($453.8K).
Please see the Real Estate Transfer Tax fund statement for a full list of all re-appropriations.
New requests/adjustments include the following:
• $107,500 in increases to the annual parks department budget, including $56,000 to
support the increased frequency of cleaning of restrooms and port-a-lets implemented
last year and $51,500 for the increased water rates implemented by ERWSD during
2024 and again in 2025.
122
- 7 -
• Staff is requesting to utilize $146,224 of 2024 savings in the Parks Maintenance Budget
towards a rebuild of a 1250’ section of the North Recreation Trail and Red Sandstone
Road and the Pedestrian Overpass.
• Utilization of $100,000 in funds originally budgeted in 2024 for a I-70 wildlife passage
study with CDOT towards general habitat improvement initiatives such as booth creek
weed control and revegetation/fuels work.
• Staff is requesting to utilize $40,000 in savings from the water quality infrastructure
installation placeholder toward storm-water related improvements at the East Vail
Interchange. In combination with the re-appropriation of unspent 2024 funds, the total
proposed budget in 2025 for the East Vail Interchange project $190,453.
• $25,000 for an increase in contract scope for the Golf Course water quality study and
vegetative plan to include the contractor’s participation in stakeholder engagement
session for the Town Council, the Public, and the Vail Recreation District. This project is
being partially funded by a $30,000 reimbursement from the Vail Recreation District.
• $2,000 in additional funds for the Sole Power App Development for a fee to develop the
connection between the App and the Town’s cloud servers.
The above adjustments will result in an estimated fund balance of $4.5 million at the end of
2025.
Housing Fund
Budgeted revenue will increase by $900,400 for the following items:
• Re-appropriate $625,000 for the sale of the Pitkin Creek Park #3B unit purchased by the
town in 2024. This unit will be resold to the community with a “buy-down” as a deed
restricted unit.
• $275,400 for the buyout of the deed restriction at 363 Beaver Dam Circle. This was
approved by council at the February 4th meeting.
Staff is also requesting to supplement budgeted expenditures by $18,852,791, all of which
represents re-appropriations for the town’s housing programs. This includes:
• $10,541,295 for the transfer to the Timber Ridge fund for site and podium costs. Of this
amount, $10.2M was originally budgeted as a transfer from the General Fund, but will
now be paid from the Housing Fund to utilize the most restrictive funds first. Additionally,
staff has increased the transfer and Timber Ridge budget by $710K to true up the total
budget to the development agreement.
• $2,885,645 in funds for the Vail InDEED program. The 2024 amended budget is
proposed to include a total of $4,385,645 for the InDEED program.
• $2,398,502 placeholder for the acquisition of the East Vail CDOT parcel, and $17,900 for
the 1’ parcel which borders it. These purchased were finalized earlier this year.
• A $1,500,000 placeholder to ensure funds are available for future housing purchase
opportunities. $150,904 of this amount represents funds built-up through the collection
of the housing fee in-lieu.

• $75,000 for an organizational structure assessment of the Dispatch Communications
Center to identify the factors impacting a long-term sustainable operational model. This
assessment would focus on an organizational assessment, staffing analysis, and

SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 5, Series 2025, Authorization of Debt for West Middle Creek and Leased
Property
I.SUMMARY
During the afternoon session, Council will receive a financing update for the West Middle Creek
housing project. The next step in moving forward with this project is authorizing the town to issue
Certificates of Participation in an amount not to exceed $65.5M. In parallel, this will also serve as
direction for Vail Home Partners to issue housing revenue bonds not to exceed $145.0M. The
approval of this ordinance does not commit the town to issuing the COPs.
II.DISCUSSION
Tonight’s ordinance would allow the town to issue COPs for the West Middle Creek project
within the following parameters:
40-year tax-exempt Certificate of Participation
Up to $65.5M
Interest rate not to exceed 6.5% (Approx $129.5M interest cost over life)
Annual debt service not to exceed $8.5M
Approval of the 2
nd reading of the COP ordinance will also serve as direction for the Vail Home
Partners Corporation to approve a resolution authorizing the issuance of the housing revenue
bonds. The Housing Revenue bonds, which will not be considered Town of Vail debt, will be
approved with the following parameters:
40-year tax-exempt Housing Revenue Bond
Up to $145.0M
Interest rate not to exceed 7.5% (Approx $450.0M interest cost over life)
Annual debt service not to exceed $35.0M
Both debt service payments will be funded by rents from the West Middle Creek project but may
require a town subsidy of up to $5.0M within the first 2 to 5 years of operations. A copy of the
housing revenue documents, including the resolution, mortgage, and indenture of trust, are
currently being finalized and will be included in the 2nd reading packet materials.
This ordinance also authorizes the town to lease property to the issuing bank, US Bank,
collateralizing the COPs. The leased property needed for the maximum COP sizing of $65.5M
will require the Lionshead Welcome Center, Red Sandstone Parking garage, the Gymnastics
169
Town of Vail Page 2
center, the Golf Course Clubhouse, Donovan Pavilion, the Vail Public Library, as well as the
East Vail, West Vail and Main Vail fire stations. The Town is working with Butler Snow and Land
Title to make the entire golf course available to collateralize. At a later date, staff would propose
to swap out the above collateral for the entire golf course parcel freeing up the facilities listed
above for possible future debt.
Outstanding Debt:
The most recent debt issuance by the town was a $22.6M COP for the development of
Residences at Main Vail with an interest rate of 2.6% for 30 years. The total interest cost for that
project is $14.3M. One year before that, the town issued $15.2 million bank placement to
finance the Public Works Shops expansion and renovation with an interest rate of 1.76% for 15
years. The total interest cost for that project is $2.2M. Prior to that, the town had not financed
any capital projects since 1991.
Next Steps
Pending approval of the second reading of Ordinance No. 5, the Vail Home Partners board will
meet to approve a resolution authorizing the issuance of housing revenue bonds. The following
week, staff and the underwriter will meet with the rating agency. The fee associated with a rating
for the COPs is $54,000. When the bonds are issued this will be paid by the COP proceeds
however once the bonds are rated the town will be responsible for the fee regardless if they are
issued. Based on the current schedule, the underwriter plans to post the Preliminary Offering
Statement (POS) on April 22nd. At this stage, Council should make a go/no-go decision on the
project.
While the town can technically withdraw the transaction up until issuance, doing so may affect
its reputation for future financings. The closing for the COPs and housing revenue bonds is
scheduled for May 20, 2025.
II.ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Approve Ordinance No. 5, Series 2025, an ordinance authorizing the town to issue Certificates
of Participation for the financing of West Middle Creek.

Section 4.Approval of Documents. The Town Council hereby approves the Site
Lease, the Lease, and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate, and the Mayor is hereby
authorized and directed for and on behalf of the Town to execute and deliver such

proposed forms of such documents on file with the Town Clerk, with such changes as

Section 7.No General Obligation Debt. No provision of this Ordinance, the

indebtedness or multiple fiscal year financial obligation of the Town within the meaning of
any constitutional, statutory, or Charter provision, nor a mandatory charge or requirement
against the Town in any ensuing fiscal year beyond the then current fiscal year. The

except in connection with the payment of the Base Rentals and certain other payments
under the Lease, which payments may be terminated by the Town in accordance with the
provisions of the Lease. Neither the Lease nor the Certificates shall constitute a
mandatory charge or requirement of the Town in any ensuing fiscal year beyond the then
current fiscal year or constitute or give rise to a general obligation or other indebtedness
or multiple fiscal year financial obligation of the Town within the meaning of any
constitutional, statutory or Charter debt limitation and shall not constitute a multiple fiscal
year direct or indirect Town debt or other financial obligation whatsoever. No provision
of the Lease or the Certificates shall be construed or interpreted as creating an unlawful
delegation of governmental powers nor as a donation by or a lending of the credit of the
Town within the meaning of Article XI of the Colorado Constitution. Neither the Lease nor
174
5
the Certificates shall directly or indirectly obligate the Town to make any payments
beyond those budgeted and appropriated for the Town's then current fiscal year.
Section 8.Reasonableness of Rentals. The Town Council hereby determines
and declares that the Base Rentals do not exceed a reasonable amount so as to place
the Town under an economic compulsion to renew the Lease or to exercise its option to
purchase the Leased Property pursuant to the Lease. The Town Council hereby
determines and declares that the period during which the Town has an option to purchase
the Leased Property (i.e., the entire maximum term of the Lease) does not exceed the
remaining useful life of the Leased Property.
Section 9.No Recourse against Officers and Agents. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 11-
57-209, if any Town official or agent acts in good faith, no civil recourse shall be available
against such member, officer, or agent for payment of the principal, interest or prior
redemption premiums on the Certificates. Such recourse shall not be available either
directly or indirectly through the Town Council or the Town, or otherwise, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute, rule of law, enforcement of penalty, or otherwise. By
the acceptance of the Certificates and as a part of the consideration of their sale or
purchase, any person purchasing or selling such certificate specifically waives any such
recourse.
Section 10. Repealer. All bylaws, orders, resolutions and ordinances, or parts
thereof, inconsistent herewith are repealed to the extent only of such inconsistency. This
repealer shall not be construed to revise any bylaw, order, resolution or ordinance, or part
thereof, theretofore repealed.
Section 11. Charter Controls. Pursuant to Article XX of the Colorado Constitution
and the Charter, all State statutes that might otherwise apply in connection with the
provisions of this ordinance are hereby superseded to the extent of any inconsistencies
or conflicts between the provisions of this ordinance and the Sale Certificate authorized
hereby and such statutes. Any such inconsistency or conflict is intended by the Town
Council and shall be deemed made pursuant to the Authority of Article XX of the Colorado
Constitution and the Charter.
Section 12. Severability. If any part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or
phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not effect
the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance; and the Town Council hereby
declares it would have passed this Ordinance, and each part, section, subsection,
sentence, clause or phrase thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more parts,
sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.

or more in aggregate principal amount of Certificates who has filed a written request to receive
notices, containing such Beneficial Owner’s name and address, with the Trustee shall be provided
with all notices relating to such Certificates by the Trustee.

at any time after giving written notice to the Trustee and discharging its responsibilities with

to discharge its responsibilities with respect to such Certificates or that continuation of the system
of book-entry transfers through DTC is not in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners,and the
Trustee shall provide notice of such termination to the Depository.

no substitute depository willing to undertake the functions of DTC in respect of the Certificates
can be found which, in the opinion of the Town is willing and able to undertake such functions
upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the Town determines that it is in the best interests of the
Beneficial Owners of the Certificates that they be able to obtain certificated Certificates, the
Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the registration books of the Trustee
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in whatever name or names

Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the Owners, in accordance with

mutilated Certificate shall first be surrendered to the Trustee, and in the case of any lost, stolen or

14
legal representative, but such registration may be changed as hereinabove provided. All such

with Article 5 hereof.
197

Reserve Fund A special fund is hereby created to be held by the Trustee
and designated as the “Town of Vail, Colorado, 2025 Lease Purchase Agreement Reserve Fund”
(the “Reserve Fund”). THE RESERVE FUND IS NOT REQUIRED AND SHALL NOT BE
FUNDED AT THE TIME OF EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THE CERTIFICATES.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of any series of Additional
Certificates that are secured by the Reserve Fund, there shall be deposited to a separate account of
the Reserve Fund, from the proceeds derived from the sale of such Additional Certificates or from
other available moneys, such amount, if any, as may be necessary to fund the separate Reserve
Fund to the then applicable Reserve Fund Requirement. Any moneys paid by the Town pursuant
to the last paragraph of this Section 3.04 shall also be deposited to the Reserve Fund. Moneys held
in the Reserve Fund shall be invested and reinvested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 5
of this Indenture. Except to the extent transferred to the Rebate Fund, income derived from the
investment of the moneys in the Reserve Fund shall be retained in the Reserve Fund to the extent
the amount on deposit therein is less than the Reserve Fund Requirement.
If the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund exceeds the Reserve Fund
Requirement for any reason, the amount to be released from the Reserve Fund shall be applied as
directed in writing by the Town. Any excess amount released from the Reserve Fund may be
deposited in the Base Rentals Fund, for use as provided in Section 3.03 hereof, or deposited into a
defeasance escrow account, or may be applied for other purposes, as directed in writing by the
Town and in accordance with the Town’s covenant in Section 10.5 of the Lease.
Except as hereinafter provided, moneys held in the Reserve Fund, excluding
income derived from the investment thereof, shall be applied to any of the following purposes:
(a)To the payment of the principal amount of the Certificates and any
Additional Certificates secured by the Reserve Fund and interest thereon, as the same shall
become due, to the extent of any deficiency in the Base Rentals Fund;
(b)At the option of the Trustee, to the payment of any Additional Rentals in
the event the Town fails to make payment thereof;
(c)At the option of the Trustee, subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of
Nonappropriation or an Event of Indenture Default, to the payment of any cost or expense
necessary to preserve or protect the Leased Property or the interest of the Trustee or the
Certificate Owners therein, or necessary to make any repairs or modifications to the Leased
Property in preparation for subleasing the Leased Property or other disposition thereof, or
the fees and expenses of the Trustee including fees and expenses of its Counsel, as the
Trustee may deem to be in the best interests of the Certificate Owners;
(d)Except to the extent applied pursuant to (c) above, upon the termination of
the Lease Term by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event
of Indenture Default, to the redemption or payment of the Certificates and any Additional
Certificates secured by the Reserve Fund then Outstanding and the payment of interest
thereon;
198
19
(e)In the event that the Town shall exercise its option to purchase the Trustee’s
leasehold interest in the Leased Property and terminate the Lease Term upon payment of
the Purchase Option Price, to the Town, or, at the option of the Town, as a reduction of
such Purchase Option Price;
(f)At the option of the Town, in reduction of the final and, to the extent
sufficient therefor, the next preceding payments of Base Rentals (in inverse order) payable
by the Town under the Lease; or
(g)To be deposited in escrow for the payment or defeasance of the Certificates
and any Additional Certificates secured by the Reserve Fund pursuant to Article 6 hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions in this Indenture, to the
extent that the Reserve Fund is funded in whole or in part with a Qualified Surety Bond, the Trustee
shall draw on any such Qualified Surety Bond only for the purpose of paying the principal of or
interest on the Certificates secured by such Qualified Surety Bond to the extent of any deficiency
in the Base Rental Fund and for no other purposes, unless approved in writing by the provider of
such Qualified Surety Bond.
The Town may at any time substitute (i) cash or Permitted Investments for a
Qualified Surety Bond, (ii) a Qualified Surety Bond for cash or Permitted Investments, (iii) a
Qualified Surety Bond for another Qualified Surety Bond so long as the amount on deposit in the
Reserve Fund after any such substitution is at least equal to the Reserve Fund Requirement, or (iv)
a combination of cash and/or one or more Qualified Surety Bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
or any other provisions contained herein, no Qualified Surety Bond shall be accepted by the
Trustee for substitution for cash or Permitted Investments unless the Trustee has received an
opinion of Special Counsel to the effect that such substitution and the intended use by the Town
of the cash or Permitted Investments to be released from the Reserve Fund will not adversely affect
the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Certificates.
For the purposes of determining the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund, a
Qualified Surety Bond shall be valued at the amount available to be drawn thereunder. If the
Reserve Fund contains both cash and a Qualified Surety Bond, all cash held in the Reserve Fund
shall be applied to the purposes of the Reserve Fund before a demand is made on the Qualified
Surety Bond. In the event that the Reserve Fund contains two or more Qualified Surety Bonds,
demands shall be made on such Qualified Surety Bonds on a pro-rata basis. All Revenues available
for replenishment of the Reserve Fund shall be applied first to reimburse the providers of the
Qualified Surety Bonds, and second to replenish cash in the Reserve Fund.
To the extent that draws are made on a Qualified Surety Bond that has been
deposited in the Reserve Fund, the Town has agreed to make any required payments to the provider
of such Qualified Surety Bond as Additional Rentals. The Town has further agreed that failure by
the Town to budget and appropriate moneys for the payment of Additional Rentals shall constitute
an Event of Nonappropriation.
199
20
Rebate Fund. A special fund is hereby created and established to be held
by the Trustee, and to be designated the “Town of Vail, Colorado, 2025 Lease Purchase
Agreement, Rebate Fund” (the “Rebate Fund”). To the extent necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Tax Certificate, the Trustee shall transfer into the Rebate Fund investment income
on moneys in any fund created hereunder (except defeasance escrows). In addition to the deposit
of investment income as provided herein, there shall be deposited into the Rebate Fund moneys
received from the Town as Additional Rentals for rebate payments pursuant to the Lease; moneys
transferred to the Rebate Fund from any other fund created hereunder pursuant to the provisions
of this Section; and all other moneys received by the Trustee when accompanied by directions not
inconsistent with the Lease or this Indenture that such moneys are to be paid into an account of the
Rebate Fund. The Town will cause (or direct the Trustee to cause) amounts on deposit in the
Rebate Fund to be forwarded to the United States Treasury at the address and times provided in
the Tax Certificate, and in the amounts calculated to ensure that the Town’s rebate obligations are
met, in accordance with the Town’s tax covenants in Section 10.5 of the Lease. Amounts on
deposit in the Rebate Fund shall not be subject to the lien of this Indenture to the extent that such
amounts are required to be paid to the United States Treasury.
If, at any time after the Trustee receives instructions by the Town to make any payments
from the Rebate Fund, the Trustee determines that the moneys on deposit in an account of the
Rebate Fund are insufficient for the purposes thereof, and if the Trustee does not receive Additional
Rentals or cannot transfer investment income so as to make the amount on deposit in the
appropriate account in the Rebate Fund sufficient for its purpose, the Trustee may transfer moneys
to an account in the Rebate Fund from the following funds in the following order of priority: the
Reserve Fund (to the extent it is cash-funded), and the Base Rentals Fund. Any moneys so
advanced from the Reserve Fund shall be included in the Town’s estimates of Additional Rentals
for the ensuing Fiscal Year pursuant to the Lease, and any moneys so advanced from the Base
Rentals Fund shall be included as an Additional Rental for the current Fiscal Year pursuant to the
Lease, and shall be repaid to the fund from which advanced upon payment to the Trustee of such
Additional Rentals. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an opinion of Special Counsel to the effect that
the amount in an account of the Rebate Fund is in excess of the amount required to be therein
pursuant to the provisions of the Tax Certificate, such excess shall be transferred to the Base
Rentals Fund.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for calculating rebate amounts or for the adequacy or
correctness of any rebate report. The Town may, at its own expense, retain an independent firm
of professionals in such area to calculate such rebate amounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Lease has been terminated or the Town
has failed to comply with Section 10.5 thereof so as to make the amount on deposit in the Rebate
Fund sufficient for its purpose, the Trustee shall make transfers of investment income or of moneys
from the Base Rentals Fund in such combination as the Trustee determines to be in the best
interests of the Certificate Owners.
Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund. A special fund is hereby created
and established with the Trustee and designated the “Town of Vail, Colorado, 2025 Lease Purchase
Agreement Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund.” Upon the delivery of the Certificates there
shall be deposited into the Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund from the proceeds of the
200
21
Certificates the amounts directed by Section 3.01 hereof and the Underwriter shall deliver to the
Trustee a closing memorandum detailing the anticipated amounts of Costs of Execution and
Delivery. Payments from the Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund shall be made by the Trustee
upon receipt of a statement or a bill for the provision of Costs of Execution and Delivery of the
Certificates approved by the Town Representative.
The Trustee shall transfer all moneys remaining in the Costs of Execution and Delivery
Fund to the Town upon the final payment of all Costs of Execution and Delivery (and in any event
not later than ninety (90) days following the Closing), as certified in writing by the Town
Representative. Any such remaining amounts so transferred to the Town shall be deposited by the
Town in the Base Rentals Fund.
Moneys to be Held in Trust. The ownership of the Base Rentals Fund,
Reserve Fund, the Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund, and all accounts within such Funds and
any other fund or account created hereunder (except defeasance escrow account) shall be held in
trust by the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates; provided that moneys in the
Rebate Fund not be held in trust and shall be used only for the specific purpose provided in Section
3.05 hereof. Furthermore, the Trustee shall have no responsibility over or deemed knowledge of
any escrow, defeasance, or other fund or account not in trust under this Indenture.
Nonpresentment of Certificates. Any moneys deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to the terms of this Indenture to be used for the payment of principal of, premium, if any,
or interest on any of the Certificates and remaining unclaimed by the Owners of such Certificates
for a period of three years after the final due date of any Certificate (during which three-year period
such moneys shall not be required to be invested by the trustee), whether the final date of maturity
or the final redemption date, shall, if the Town is not at the time, to the knowledge of the Trustee,
be in default with respect to any of the terms and conditions contained in this Indenture, in the
Certificates or under the Lease, be paid to the Town and such Owners shall thereafter look only to
the Town for payment and then only (a)to the extent of the amounts so received by the Town from
the Trustee without interest thereon, (b)subject to the defense of any applicable statute of
limitations and (c)subject to the Town’s Appropriation of such payment. After payment by the
Trustee of all of the foregoing, if any moneys are then remaining under this Indenture, the Trustee
shall pay such moneys to the Town as an overpayment of Base Rentals.
Repayment to the Town from the Trustee. After payment in full of the
Certificates, the interest thereon, any premium thereon, the fees, charges and expenses of the
Trustee, any amount required to be deposited to the Rebate Fund, and all other amounts required
to be paid hereunder, any amounts remaining in the Base Rentals Fund, Reserve Fund to the extent
it is cash funded), the Costs of Execution and Delivery Fund, or otherwise held by the Trustee
pursuant hereto (but excluding the Rebate Fund and any defeasance escrow accounts) shall be paid
to the Town upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term as a return of an
overpayment of Base Rentals. After payment of all amounts due and owing the federal government
held in the Rebate Fund, if any, any excess amounts in the Rebate Fund shall be paid to the Town.

proceed to call the Term Certificates indicated above (or any Term Certificate or Certificates issued
to replace such Term Certificates) for redemption from the sinking fund on the next December 1,
and give notice of such call without other instruction or notice from the Town. The amount of
each sinking fund installment may be reduced by the principal amount of any Term Certificates of
the maturity and interest rate which are subject to sinking fund redemption on such date and which
prior to such date have been redeemed (otherwise than through the operation of the sinking fund)
or otherwise canceled and not theretofore applied as a credit against a sinking fund installment.
Such reductions, if any, shall be applied in such year or years as may be determined by the Town.
Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption. If the Lease is terminated by
reason of the occurrence of:
(a)An Event of Nonappropriation, or
(b)An Event of Lease Default, or
(c)In the event that (1)the Leased Property is damaged or destroyed in whole
or in part by fire or other casualty, or (2)title to, or the temporary or permanent use of, the
Leased Property has been taken by eminent domain by any governmental body or
(3)breach of warranty or any material defect with respect to the Leased Property becomes
apparent or (4)title to or the use of all or any part of the Leased Property is lost by reason
203
24
of a defect in title thereto or any other reason and the Net Proceeds of any insurance,
performance bond or condemnation award, or Net Proceeds received as a consequence of
defaults under contracts relating to the Leased Property, made available by reason of such
occurrences, shall be insufficient to pay in full, the cost of repairing or replacing the Leased
Property, and the Town does not appropriate sufficient funds for such purpose or cause the
Lease to be amended in order that Additional Certificates may be executed and delivered
pursuant to this Indenture for such purpose, then all Outstanding Certificates shall be
required to be called for redemption. If called for redemption, as described herein, the
Certificates are to be redeemed in whole on such date or dates as the Trustee may
determine, for a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
interest to the redemption date (subject to the availability of funds described below).
If the Net Proceeds, including the Net Proceeds from the exercise of any Lease Remedy
under the Lease, otherwise received and other moneys then available under this Indenture are
insufficient to pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on all Outstanding Certificates, the
Trustee may, or at the request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Certificates Outstanding, and upon indemnification as provided in Section 8.01(d) of this
Indenture, without any further demand or notice, shall, exercise all or any combination of Lease
Remedies as provided in the Lease and the Certificates shall be redeemed by the Trustee from the
Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and all other moneys, if any,
then on hand and being held by the Trustee for the Owners of the Certificates.
If the Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys
are insufficient to redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest
accrued to the redemption date, then such Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease
Remedies and other moneys shall be allocated proportionately among the Certificates, according
to the principal amount thereof Outstanding. In the event that such Net Proceeds resulting from
the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys are in excess of the amount required to
redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the
redemption date, then such excess moneys shall be paid to the Town as an overpayment of the
Purchase Option Price. Prior to any distribution of the Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise
of any of such remedies, the Trustee shall be entitled to payment of its reasonable and customary
fees for all services rendered in connection with such disposition, as well as reimbursement for all
reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred thereby, from proceeds resulting
from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys.
IF THE CERTIFICATES ARE REDEEMED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 4.03FOR
AN AMOUNT LESS THAN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT THEREOF PLUS
INTEREST ACCRUED TO THE REDEMPTION DATE, SUCH PARTIAL PAYMENT SHALL
BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A REDEMPTION IN FULL OF THE RELATED
CERTIFICATES, AND UPON SUCH A PARTIAL PAYMENT NO OWNER OF SUCH
CERTIFICATES SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER CLAIM FOR PAYMENT AGAINST THE
TRUSTEE OR THE TOWN.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions to the contrary in the Lease or this
Indenture, if the Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies are insufficient
to redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the
204
25
redemption date, the Trustee may, or at the request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Certificates Outstanding, and upon indemnification as provided in Section
8.01(d) of this Indenture, shall, determine that the Certificates shall not be subject to extraordinary
mandatory redemption under this Section 4.03, in which event the Trustee will not apply any Net
Proceeds or other available moneys to the redemption of any Certificates prior to their respective
maturity dates. In such event, the Trustee shall (a) allocate such Net Proceeds (together with any
other available moneys held under this Indenture), proportionately among all Outstanding
Certificates, and (b) apply such allocation of Net Proceeds to the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Certificates on the regularly scheduled maturity and Interest Payment Dates of the
Certificates.
Partial Redemption. The Certificates shall be redeemed only in integral
multiples of $5,000. The Trustee shall treat any Certificate of denomination greater than $5,000
as representing that number of separate Certificates each of the denomination of $5,000 as can be
obtained by dividing the actual principal amount of such Certificate by $5,000.
Upon surrender of any Certificate for redemption in part, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Owner thereof, at no expense of the Owner, a new Certificate or Certificates of
Authorized Denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of
the Certificates so surrendered.
Notice of Redemption. Whenever Certificates are to be redeemed under
any provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall, not less than thirty (30) and not more than sixty
(60) days prior to the redemption date (except for Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption under
Section 4.03, which notice shall be immediate), give notice of redemption to all Owners of all
Certificates to be redeemed by electronic means or by mail at their registered addresses, by first
class mail, postage prepaid, or in the event that the Certificates to be redeemed are registered in
the name of the Depository or its nominee, such notice may, in the alternative, be given by
electronic means in accordance with the requirements of the Depository. In addition, the Trustee
shall at all reasonable times make available to the Town and any Certificate Owner, including the
Depository, if applicable, information as to Certificates which have been redeemed or called for
redemption. Any notice of redemption shall:
(a)Identify the Certificates to be redeemed;
(b)Specify the redemption date and the redemption price;
(c)In the event the redemption is occurring under Section 4.01 hereof, state
that the Town has given notice of its intent to exercise its option to purchase or prepay Base
Rentals under the Lease;
(d)State that such redemption is subject to the deposit of the funds related to
such option by the Town on or before the stated redemption date; and
(e)State that on the redemption date the Certificates called for redemption will
be payable at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee or pursuant to the
Depository’s procedures as applicable and that from that date interest will cease to accrue.
205
26
The Trustee may use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Certificate Owners, provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to
the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Certificates or as contained in any notice
of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the identification numbers containing the
prefix established pursuant to this Indenture.
Any notice of redemption may contain a statement that the redemption is conditioned upon
the receipt by the Trustee of funds on or before the date fixed for redemption sufficient to pay the
redemption price of the Certificates so called for redemption, and that if such funds are not
available, such redemption shall be canceled by written notice to the owners of the Certificates
called for redemption in the same manner as the original redemption notice was given.
Redemption Payments. On or prior to the Business Day preceding the
date fixed for redemption, funds shall be deposited with the Trustee to pay the Certificates called
for redemption, together with accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, and any required
premium. Upon the giving of notice and the deposit of such funds as may be available for
redemption pursuant to this Indenture (which, in certain cases as set forth above may be less than
the full principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates and accrued interest thereon to the
redemption date), interest on the Certificates or portions thereof thus called shall no longer accrue
after the date fixed for redemption. Payments in full redemption shall be accompanied by a written
designation prepared by the Trustee stating the portions of the payment representing principal,
interest, and premium, if any.
206
27
INVESTMENTS
Investment of Moneys. The Trustee shall be entitled to assume that any

Fund, or any other fund or account created hereunder (other than any defeasance escrow accounts)
shall be deposited or invested and reinvested by the Trustee, at the written direction of the Town
Representative, in Permitted Investments; provided, however, that the Trustee shall make no
deposits or investments of any fund or account created hereunder which shall interfere with or
prevent withdrawals for the purpose for which the moneys so deposited or invested were placed in

customary fees for such trades, including cash sweep account fees. Except as otherwise provided
herein and Section 3.05 hereof, deposits or investments shall at all times be a part of the fund or
account from which the moneys used to acquire such deposits or investments shall have come, and
all income and profits on such deposits or investments shall be credited to, and losses thereon shall
be charged against, such fund or account. Any interest or other gain from any fund or account
created hereunder (except defeasance escrows) shall be deposited to the Rebate Fund to the extent
required and permitted pursuant to Section 3.05 hereof. The Trustee shall sell and reduce to cash
a sufficient amount of such deposits or investments whenever the cash balance in the Base Rentals
Fund is insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Certificates when due, or whenever
the cash balance in any fund or account created hereunder is insufficient to satisfy the purposes of
such fund or account.
The Trustee hereby agrees to secure and retain the documentation with respect to
investments of moneys in the funds and accounts created under this Indenture as required by and
as described in the Tax Certificate.

suitability and the legality of the directed investments, and shall have no liability or responsibility
for any loss or for failure to maximize earnings resulting from any investment made in accordance
with the provisions of this Article 5.
The Trustee may transfer investments from any Fund or Account to any other Fund or
Account in lieu of cash when a transfer is required or permitted by the provisions of this Indenture.
If the Trustee is not provided written directions concerning investment of moneys held in
the Funds, the Trustee shall invest in a money market fund that qualifies as a Permitted Investment
available to the Trustee, provided such investment matures or are subject to redemption prior to
the date such funds will be needed. Unless otherwise confirmed or directed in writing, an account
statement delivered periodically by the Trustee to the Town shall confirm that the investment
transactions identified therein accurately reflect the investment directions of the Town
Representative, unless the Town Representative notifies the Trustee in writing to the contrary
within thirty (30) days of the date of delivery of such statement.
207
28
The Trustee may purchase or invest in shares of any investment company provided that
such investments are Permitted Investments at the time of such investment and that such

Trustee may provide advisory, administrative, custodial or other services for compensation);
(ii)invests substantially all of its assets in short term high quality money market instruments,
limited to obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States, or repurchase agreements backed
by such obligations; and (iii)maintains a constant asset value per share.
The Trustee is specifically authorized to implement its automated cash investments system
to assure that cash on hand is invested and to charge reasonable cash management fees, which may
be deducted from income earned on investments.
Method of Valuation and Frequency of Valuation. In computing the
amount in any fund or account (except defeasance escrows), Permitted Investments shall be valued
at the market price, exclusive of accrued interest. With respect to all funds and accounts (except
defeasance escrows, and except as otherwise provided in the Tax Certificate with respect to the
Rebate Fund), valuation shall occur as of December 31 of each year.
The Reserve Fund, to the extent it is cash-funded, shall also be valued as of December 31
of each year, except in the event of a withdrawal from the Reserve Fund, whereupon it shall be
valued immediately after such withdrawal. The Trustee shall calculate the value of investments
on deposit in the Reserve Fund and the Town, at the written request of the Trustee, shall calculate
the value of investments in all other funds and accounts held pursuant to this Indenture.

interest thereon is made as provided in Section 4.03 of this Indenture), together with all
other sums payable hereunder relating to the Certificates (including the fees and expenses
of the Trustee), then the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to the Trust Estate and
all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Town to the Trustee and to the
Owners shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void and be discharged and satisfied.

Fund or separate escrow account or trust account pursuant to this Section shall be
withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be segregated and held in trust for,
the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates or portions
thereof; provided, however, that other Federal Securities and moneys may be substituted
for the Federal Securities and moneys so deposited prior to their use for such purpose.

Federal Securities have been deposited and identifying the Certificates for the payment of
which such moneys or Federal Securities are being held, to all Owners of Certificates for
the payment of which such moneys or Federal Securities are being held, or if such
Certificates are registered in the name of the Depository, such notice may be sent, in the
alternative, by electronic means in accordance with the regulations of the Depository.

above, such Certificate shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture, the Lease or the Site Lease, except for the purpose of exchange and transfer and
any payment from such cash or Federal Securities deposited with the Trustee.

investigate whether the real property constituting any portion of the Trust Estate complies
with environmental laws or is subject to any Hazardous Substance.
(b)Following an Event of Indenture Default, if the Trustee determines that the
release, threatened release, use, generation, treatment, storage or disposal of any Hazardous
Substance on, under or about real property constituting any portion of the Trust Estate gives
rise to any liability or potential liability under any federal, State of Colorado, local or
common law, or devalues or threatens to devalue such real property, the Trustee may, after
being adequately indemnified pursuant to Section 8.01(d), take whatever action is deemed
necessary by the Trustee to address the threatened or actual releases of Hazardous
Substances, or to bring about or maintain such real property’s compliance with federal,
State of Colorado, or local environmental laws and regulations. The Trustee has the right
to take no action and, in such event no fiduciary duty exists which imposes any obligation
for action with respect to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof if the Trustee determines
to take no action for, including that any such action could adversely subject the Trustee to
environmental or other liability for which the Trustee has not been adequately indemnified.

MISCELLANEOUS
Evidence of Signature of Owners and Ownership of Certificates. Any
request, consent or other instrument which this Indenture may require or permit to be signed and
executed by the Owners may be in one or more instruments of similar tenor, and shall be signed

execution of any such instrument or of an instrument appointing any such attorney, or the
ownership of Certificates shall be sufficient (except as otherwise herein expressly provided) if
made in the following manner, but the Trustee may, nevertheless, in its discretion require further
or other proof in cases where it deems the same desirable:
(a)The fact and date of the execution by any Owner or his attorney of such

affidavit of a witness of such execution, duly sworn to before a notary public.
(b)The fact of the owning by any person of Certificates and the amounts and
numbers of such Certificates, and the date of the owning of the same, may be proved by a

or bank or to such bankers, as the property of such party, the Certificates therein mentioned,
if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee may, in
its discretion, require evidence that such Certificates have been deposited with a bank,
bankers or trust company before taking any action based on such ownership. In lieu of the
foregoing the Trustee may accept other proofs of the foregoing as it shall deem appropriate.
Any request or consent of the Owner of any Certificate shall be conclusive upon and shall
bind all future owners of such Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer or
exchange of such Certificate in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Town, the
Trustee in accordance therewith, whether or not notation of such consent or request is made upon
any such Certificate.

*Final Maturity
Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption. If the Lease is terminated by reason of the
occurrence of (a) an Event of Nonappropriation, or (b) an Event of Lease Default, or (c) the
Trustee, at the direction of the Town, fails to repair or replace the Leased Property if: (1) the Leased
Property is damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty; (2) title to, or the
temporary or permanent use of, the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, has been taken by
eminent domain by any governmental body; (3) breach of warranty or any material defect with
respect to the Leased Property becomes apparent; or (4) title to or the use of all or any portion of
the Leased Property is lost by reason of a defect in title thereto, and the Net Proceeds (as defined
in the Lease) of any insurance, performance bond or condemnation award, or Net Proceeds
received as a consequence of defaults under contracts relating to the Leased Property, made
available by reason of such occurrences, are insufficient to pay in full, the cost of repairing or
replacing the Leased Property and the Town does not appropriate sufficient funds for such purpose
or cause the Lease to be amended in order that Additional Certificates may be executed and
delivered pursuant to the Indenture for such purpose, the Certificates are required to be called for
redemption. If called for redemption, as described herein, the Certificates are to be redeemed in
whole on such date or dates as the Trustee may determine, for a redemption price equal to the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the availability
of funds as described below).
If the Net Proceeds, including the Net Proceeds from the exercise of any Lease Remedy
under the Lease, otherwise received and other moneys then available under the Indenture are
insufficient to pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on all Outstanding Certificates, the
Trustee may, or at the request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Certificates Outstanding, and upon indemnification as to costs and expenses as provided in the
Indenture, without any further demand or notice, is to exercise all or any combination of Lease
Remedies as provided in the Lease and the Certificates are to be redeemed by the Trustee from the
Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and all other moneys, if any,
then on hand and being held by the Trustee for the Owners of the Certificates.
If the Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys
are insufficient to redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest
accrued to the redemption date, then such Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease
Remedies and other moneys are to be allocated proportionately among the Certificates, according
to the principal amount thereof Outstanding. In the event that such Net Proceeds resulting from
the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys are in excess of the amount required to
redeem the Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the
redemption date, then such excess moneys are to be paid to the Town as an overpayment of the
232
A-5
Purchase Option Price in respect of the Leased Property. Prior to any distribution of the Net
Proceeds resulting from the exercise of any of such remedies, the Trustee is entitled to payment of
its reasonable and customary fees for all services rendered in connection with such disposition, as
well as reimbursement for all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred
thereby, from proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys.
IF THE CERTIFICATES ARE REDEEMED FOR AN AMOUNT LESS THAN THE
AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT THEREOF PLUS INTEREST ACCRUED TO THE
REDEMPTION DATE, SUCH PARTIAL PAYMENT IS DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A
REDEMPTION IN FULL OF THE CERTIFICATES, AND UPON SUCH A PARTIAL
PAYMENT NO OWNER OF SUCH CERTIFICATES, SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER CLAIM
FOR PAYMENT AGAINST THE TRUSTEE OR THE TOWN.
Partial Redemption. If less than all of the Certificates are to be redeemed, the Certificates
are to be redeemed only in integral multiples of $5,000. The Trustee is to treat any Certificates of
denomination greater than $5,000 as representing that number of separate Certificates each of the
denomination of $5,000 as can be obtained by dividing the actual principal amount of such
Certificates by $5,000. Upon surrender of any Certificate for redemption in part, the Trustee is to
execute and deliver to the Owner thereof, at no expense of the Owner, a new Certificate or
Certificates of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the Certificates so surrendered.
Notice of Redemption. Whenever Certificates are to be redeemed, the Trustee is required
to, after receiving instruction from the Town pursuant to the Indenture, not less than thirty (30)
and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date (except for Extraordinary Mandatory
Redemption notice which is required to be immediate), give notice of redemption to all Owners of
all Certificates to be redeemed at their registered addresses, by electronic means or by first class
mail, postage prepaid, or in the event that the Certificates to be redeemed are registered in the
name of the Depository, such notice may, in the alternative, be given by electronic means in
accordance with the requirements of the Depository. Any notice of redemption is to (1) be given
in the name of the Trustee, (2) identify the Certificates to be redeemed, (3) specify the redemption
date and the redemption price, (4) in the event of Optional Redemption, state that the Town has
given notice of its intent to exercise its option to purchase or prepay Base Rentals under the Lease,
(5) state that such redemption is subject to the deposit of the funds related to such option by the
Town on or before the stated redemption date and (6) state that on the redemption date the
Certificates called for redemption will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee and
that from that date interest will cease to accrue. The Trustee may use “CUSIP” numbers in notices
of redemption as a convenience to Certificates Owners, provided that any such notice is required
to state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on
the Certificates or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only
on the identification numbers containing the prefix established under the Indenture.
This Certificate is executed and delivered under the authority of Part 2 of Article 57,
Title 11, C.R.S. (the “Supplemental Act”). Pursuant to C.R.S. § 11-57-210, such recital shall be

the Town shall include as an Additional Rental any amount necessary to reimburse the
Trustee for legal expenses incurred to defend (to the extent that an Appropriation for the
necessary moneys has been effected by the Town) the Trustee from claims for damages,
penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses and to reimburse the Trustee for any other costs
incurred addressing the presence of Hazardous Substances on the Leased Property. The
reimbursement of the Trustee’s legal expenses and costs incurred is not an indemnification.
It is expressly understood that the Town is not indemnifying the Trustee and expenses of
such defense shall constitute Additional Rentals. Without limiting the foregoing, if the
presence of any Hazardous Substance on the Leased Property caused or permitted by the
Town results in any contamination of the Leased Property, the Town shall provide prior
written notice to the Trustee and the Town shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense
(which expenses shall constitute Additional Rentals) as are necessary to effect remediation
of the contamination in accordance with legal requirements.
(i)The Town agrees that its budget officer or other primary business official
will do all things lawfully within such officer’s or official’s power (a) to include amounts
to pay Base Rentals and Additional Rentals in each annual or biennial budget (as
appropriate) to be submitted to its governing body and (b) to use best efforts to obtain and
maintain funds from which such Base Rentals and Additional Rentals may be made during
each fiscal period for which amounts have been duly appropriated to make such payments.
(j)The Town covenants and agrees to comply with any applicable covenants
and requirements of the Town set forth in the Tax Certificate.
Section 2.2 Representations and Covenants of the Trustee. The Trustee represents
and covenants as follows:
(a)The Trustee is a national banking association duly organized and existing
under the laws of the United States of America. The Trustee is authorized to enter into the
Site Lease and this Lease, and to execute and deliver the Indenture and the Certificates,
and to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
(b)So long as no Event of Indenture Default has occurred and is then
continuing or existing, except as specifically provided in the Site Lease or this Lease or as
251
11
necessary to transfer the Trust Estate to a successor Trustee, the Trustee shall not pledge
or assign the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to (i) this Lease or the Site Lease,
(ii) the Base Rentals, other Revenues and collateral, security interests and attendant rights
and obligations which may be derived under this Lease or the Site Lease and/or (iii) the
Leased Property and any reversion therein or any of its or the Trustee’s other rights under
this Lease or the Site Lease or assign, pledge, mortgage, encumber or grant a security
interest in its or the Trustee’s right, title and interest in, to and under this Lease or the Site
Lease or the Leased Property except for Permitted Encumbrances.
(c)Neither the execution and delivery of this Lease and the Site Lease or the
Indenture by the Trustee, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions
thereof and hereof, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or
hereby conflicts with or results in a breach of the terms, conditions and provisions of any
restriction or any agreement or instrument to which the Trustee is now a party or by which
the Trustee is bound, or constitutes a default under any of the foregoing.
(d)To the Trustee’s knowledge, there is no litigation or proceeding pending
against the Trustee affecting the right of the Trustee to execute this Lease and the Site
Lease or to execute the Indenture, and perform its obligations thereunder or hereunder,
except such litigation or proceeding as has been disclosed in writing to the Town on or
prior to the date the Indenture is executed and delivered.
Section 2.3 Nature of Lease. The Town and the Trustee acknowledge and agree that
the Base Rentals and Additional Rentals hereunder shall constitute currently budgeted and
appropriated expenditures of the Town and may be paid from any legally available funds. The
Town’s obligations under this Lease shall be subject to the Town’s annual right to terminate this
Lease (as further provided herein), and shall not constitute a mandatory charge or requirement in
any ensuing Fiscal Year beyond the then current Fiscal Year. No provision of this Lease shall be
construed or interpreted as creating a general obligation, multiple fiscal year financial obligation,
or other indebtedness of the Town within the meaning of any constitutional, Charter or statutory
debt limitation. No provision of this Lease shall be construed or interpreted as creating an unlawful
delegation of governmental powers nor as a donation by or a lending of the credit of the Town
within the meaning of Article XI, Sections 1 or 2 of the Colorado Constitution. Neither this Lease
nor the execution and delivery of the Certificates shall directly or indirectly obligate the Town to
make any payments beyond those duly budgeted and appropriated for the Town’s then current
Fiscal Year. The Town shall be under no obligation whatsoever to exercise its option to purchase
the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property. No provision of this Lease shall be
construed to pledge or to create a lien on any class or source of Town moneys, nor shall any
provision of this Lease restrict the future issuance of any Town bonds or obligations payable from
any class or source of Town moneys (provided, however, certain restrictions in the Indenture shall
apply to the issuance of Additional Certificates). In the event that this Lease is not renewed by the
Town, the sole security available to the Trustee, as lessor hereunder, shall be the Leased Property.
Section 2.4 Town Acknowledgement of Certain Matters. The Town acknowledges
the Indenture and the execution and delivery by the Trustee of the Indenture and the Certificates
pursuant to the Indenture, and that all conditions precedent to the execution of the Indenture have
been complied with. The Town also acknowledges the Trustee’s authority to act on behalf of the
252
12
Owners of the Certificates with respect to all rights, title and interests of the Trustee in, to and
under this Lease, the Site Lease and the Leased Property. To the extent that the Town has duties,
obligations and rights under the Indenture, the Town agrees to perform such duties and obligations
so long as this Lease is in effect, subject to appropriation and to the extent permitted by law.
Section 2.5 Relationship of Town and Trustee. The relationship of the Town and the
Trustee under this Lease is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of lessee and lessor; and the
Town neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to the Trustee or to any third party
with respect to the Trustee’s obligations relating to the Leased Property; and the Trustee does not
undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to the Town or to any third party with respect to
the Town’s obligations relating to the Leased Property. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Lease: (a) the Town and the Trustee are not, and do not intend to be construed to be, partners,
joint ventures, members, alter egos, managers, controlling persons or other business associates or
participants of any kind of either of the other, and the Town and the Trustee do not intend to ever
assume such status; and (b) the Town and the Trustee shall not be deemed responsible for, or a
participant in, any acts, omissions or decisions of either of the other.
253

ARTICLE 3
LEASE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY
The Trustee demises and leases the Leased Property to the Town and the Town leases the
Leased Property from the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, subject only to
Permitted Encumbrances, to have and to hold for the Lease Term.
The Town and the Trustee acknowledge that the Town owns the Leased Property and the
Town has leased the Leased Property to the Trustee pursuant to the Site Lease; and the Town and
the Trustee intend that there be no merger of the Town’s interests as sublessee under this Lease
and the Town’s ownership interest in the Leased Property so as to cause the cancellation of the
Site Lease or this Lease, or an impairment of the leasehold and subleasehold interest intended to
be created by the Site Lease and this Lease.
254
14
ARTICLE 4
LEASE TERM
Section 4.1 Duration of Lease Term. The Lease Term shall commence as of the date
hereof. The Initial Term shall terminate on December 31, 2025. This Lease may be renewed,
solely at the option of the Town, for [__] Renewal Terms, provided, however, that the Lease Term
shall terminate no later than December 31, 20[__], except that the Renewal Term beginning on
January 1, 20[__] shall terminate upon the Town’s payment of the final Base Rental payment as
set forth in Exhibit C. The Town hereby finds that the maximum Lease Term hereunder does not
exceed the weighted average useful life of the Leased Property. The Town further determines and
declares that the period during which the Town has an option to purchase the Trustee’s leasehold
interest in the Leased Property (i.e., the entire maximum Lease Term) does not exceed the useful
life of the Leased Property.
The Town Manager or other officer of the Town at any time charged with the responsibility
of formulating budget proposals for the Town is hereby directed to include in the annual budget
proposals submitted to the Council, in any year in which this Lease shall be in effect, items for all
payments required for the ensuing Renewal Term under this Lease until such time, if any, as the
Town may determine to not renew and terminate this Lease. Notwithstanding this directive
regarding the formulation of budget proposals, it is the intention of the Town that any decision to
effect an Appropriation for the Base Rentals and Additional Rentals shall be made solely by the
Council in its absolute discretion and not by any other official of the Town, as further provided in
the following paragraph. During the Lease Term, the Town shall in any event, whether or not the
Lease is to be renewed, furnish the Trustee with copies of its annual budget promptly after the
budget is adopted. The Trustee shall have no duty to examine the Town’s annual budget.
Not later than December 15 of the then current Initial Term or any Renewal Term the Town
Representative shall give written notice (in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit D attached
hereto) to the Trustee that either:
(a)The Town has effected or intends to effect on a timely basis an
Appropriation for the ensuing Fiscal Year which includes (i) sufficient amounts authorized
and directed to be used to pay all of the Base Rentals; and (ii) sufficient amounts to pay
such Additional Rentals as are estimated to become due; all as further provided in Sections
6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 hereof, whereupon, this Lease shall be renewed for the ensuing Fiscal Year;
or
(b)The Town has determined, for any reason, not to renew this Lease for the
ensuing Fiscal Year.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.4(a) hereof, the failure to give such notice shall not constitute
an Event of Lease Default, nor prevent the Town from electing not to renew this Lease, nor result
in any liability on the part of the Town. The Town’s option to renew or not to renew this Lease
shall be conclusively determined by whether or not the applicable Appropriation has been made
on or before December 31 of each Fiscal Year, all as further provided in Article 6 hereof.
255
15
The terms and conditions hereof during any Renewal Term shall be the same as the terms
and conditions hereof during the Initial Term, except that the Purchase Option Price and the Base
Rentals shall be as provided in Article 12 and Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) hereof.
Section 4.2 Termination of Lease Term. The Lease Term shall terminate upon the
earliest of any of the following events:
(a)The expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term during which there
occurs an Event of Nonappropriation pursuant to Section 4.1 and Article 6 hereof(provided
that the Lease Term will not be deemed to have been terminated if the Event of
Nonappropriation is cured as provided in Section 6.4 hereof);
(b)The occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation under this Lease (provided
that the Lease Term will not be deemed to have been terminated if the Event of
Nonappropriation is cured as provided in Section 6.4 hereof);
(c)The conveyance of the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property
under this Lease to the Town upon payment of the Purchase Option Price or all Base
Rentals and Additional Rentals, for which an Appropriation has been effected by the Town
for such purpose, as provided in Section 12.2(a) or (b) hereof; or
(d)An uncured Event of Lease Default and termination of this Lease under
Article 14 hereof by the Trustee.
Except for an event described in subparagraph (c) above, upon termination of this Lease, the Town
agrees to peacefully deliver possession of the Leased Property to the Trustee.
Termination of the Lease Term shall terminate all unaccrued obligations of the Town under
this Lease, and shall terminate the Town’s rights of possession under this Lease (except to the
extent of the holdover provisions of Sections 6.5 and 14.2(c)(i) hereof, and except for any
conveyance pursuant to Article 12 hereof). All obligations of the Town accrued prior to such
termination shall be continuing until the Trustee gives written notice to the Town that such accrued
obligations have been satisfied.
Upon termination of the Lease Term any moneys received by the Trustee in excess of the
amounts necessary to terminate and discharge the Indenture and this Lease, shall be paid to the
Town.
The Town shall not have the right to terminate this Lease due to a default by the Trustee
under this Lease.
256
16
ARTICLE 5
ENJOYMENT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY
Section 5.1 Trustee’s Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. The Trustee hereby covenants
that the Town shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased
Property without suit, trouble or hindrance from the Trustee, except as expressly required or
permitted by this Lease. The Trustee shall not interfere with the quiet use and enjoyment of the
Leased Property by the Town during the Lease Term so long as no Event of Lease Default shall
have occurred. The Trustee shall, at the request of the Town and at the cost of the Town, cooperate
fully in any legal action in which the Town asserts against third parties its right to such possession
and enjoyment, or which involves the imposition of any taxes or other governmental charges on
or in connection with the Leased Property. In addition, the Town may at its own expense join in
any legal action affecting its possession and enjoyment of the Leased Property and shall be joined
in any action affecting its liabilities hereunder.
The provisions of this Article 5 shall be subject to the Trustee’s right to inspect the Leased
Property and the Town’s books and records with respect thereto as provided in Section 11.8 hereof.
Section 5.2 Town’s Need for the Leased Property; Determinations as to Fair Value
and Fair Purchase Price. The Council has determined and hereby determines that the Town has
a current need for the Leased Property. It is the present intention and expectation of the Town that
this Lease will be renewed annually until the Trustee’s interests in the Site Lease are released and
unencumbered title to the Leased Property is acquired by the Town pursuant to this Lease; but this
declaration shall not be construed as contractually obligating or otherwise binding the Town. The
Council has determined that the Base Rentals under this Lease during the Lease Term for the
Leased Property represent the fair value of the use of the Leased Property and that the Purchase
Option Price for the Leased Property will represent the fair purchase price of the Trustee’s
leasehold interest in the Leased Property at the time of the exercise of the option. The Council has
determined that the Base Rentals do not exceed a reasonable amount so as to place the Town under
an economic compulsion to renew this Lease or to exercise its option to purchase the Trustee’s
leasehold interest in the Leased Property hereunder. In making such determinations, the Council
has given consideration to the estimated current value of the Leased Property, the uses and
purposes for which the Leased Property will be employed by the Town, the benefit to the citizens
and inhabitants of the Town by reason of the use and occupancy of the Leased Property pursuant
to the terms and provisions of this Lease, the Town’s option to purchase the Trustee’s leasehold
interest in the Leased Property and the expected eventual vesting of unencumbered title to the
Leased Property in the Town. The Council has determined that the period during which the Town
has an option to purchase the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property (i.e., the entire
maximum Lease Term for the Leased Property) does not exceed the weighted average useful life
of the Leased Property.
257

ARTICLE 6
PAYMENTS BY THE TOWN
Section 6.1 Payments to Constitute Currently Budgeted Expenditures of the Town.
The Town and the Trustee acknowledge and agree that the Base Rentals, Additional Rentals and
any other obligations hereunder shall constitute currently budgeted expenditures of the Town, if
an Appropriation has been effected for such purpose. The Town’s obligations to pay Base Rentals,
Additional Rentals and any other obligations under this Lease shall be from year to year only (as
further provided in Article 4 and Sections 6.2 and 6.4 hereof), shall extend only to moneys for
which an Appropriation has been effected by the Town, and shall not constitute a mandatory
charge, requirement or liability in any ensuing Fiscal Year beyond the then current Fiscal Year.
No provision of this Lease shall be construed or interpreted as a delegation of governmental powers
or as creating a multiple fiscal year direct or indirect debt or other financial obligation whatsoever
of the Town or a general obligation or other indebtedness of the Town within the meaning of any
constitutional, Charter provision or statutory debt limitation, including without limitation Article
X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution. No provision of this Lease shall be construed or
interpreted as creating an unlawful delegation of governmental powers nor as a donation by or a
lending of the credit of the Town within the meaning of Sections 1 or 2 of Article XI of the
Colorado Constitution. Neither this Lease nor the Certificates shall directly or indirectly obligate
the Town to make any payments beyond those for which an Appropriation has been effected by
the Town for the Town’s then current Fiscal Year. The Town shall be under no obligation
whatsoever to exercise its option to purchase the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased
Property. No provision of this Lease shall be construed to pledge or to create a lien on any class
or source of Town moneys, nor shall any provision of this Lease restrict the future issuance of any
Town bonds or obligations payable from any class or source of Town moneys (provided, however,
that certain restrictions in the Indenture shall apply to the issuance of Additional Certificates).
Section 6.2 Base Rentals, Purchase Option Price and Additional Rentals.
(a)The Town shall pay Base Rentals for which an Appropriation has been
effected by the Town, directly to the Trustee during the Initial Term and any Renewal
Term, on the Base Rentals Payment Dates and in the “Total Base Rentals” amounts set
forth in Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) attached hereto and made a part hereof. For
federal and State income tax purposes, a portion of each payment of Base Rentals for the
Certificates is designated and will be paid as interest, and Exhibit C (Base Rentals
Schedule) hereto sets forth the Interest Portion of each payment of Base Rentals for the
Certificates. The Town shall receive credit against its obligation to pay Base Rentals to
the extent moneys are held by the Trustee on deposit in the Base Rentals Fund created
under the Indenture and are available to pay Base Rentals. The Town acknowledges that
upon receipt by the Trustee of each payment of Base Rentals, the Trustee, pursuant to the
terms of the Indenture, is to deposit the amount of such Base Rentals in the Base Rentals
Fund.
The Base Rentals set forth in Exhibit C shall be recalculated in the event of the
execution and delivery of Additional Certificates as provided in the Indenture and shall
also be recalculated in the event of a partial redemption of the Certificates. The Trustee
258
18
may conclusively rely upon such revised Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) and has no
duty to make an independent investigation in connection therewith.
(b)The Town may, on any date, pay the then applicable Purchase Option Price
for the purpose of terminating this Lease and the Site Lease in whole and purchasing the
Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property as further provided in Article 12 hereof.
Subject to the Approval of Special Counsel, the Town may also, at any time during the
Lease Term, (1) prepay any portion of the Base Rentals due under this Lease and (2) in
connection with such prepayment, recalculate the Base Rentals set forth in Exhibit C (Base
Rentals Schedule). Any such revised Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) shall be prepared
by the Town Representative and delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee may conclusively
rely upon such revised Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) and has no duty to make an
independent investigation in connection therewith. The Town shall give the Trustee notice
of its intention to exercise either of such options not less than 45 days in advance of the
date of exercise and shall deposit with the Trustee by not later than the Business Day
preceding the date of exercise an amount equal to the Purchase Option Price due on the
date of exercise or the applicable amount of Base Rentals to be prepaid. If the Town shall
have given notice to the Trustee of its intention to prepay Base Rentals but shall not have
deposited the amounts with the Trustee on the date specified in such notice, the Town shall
continue to pay Base Rentals which have been specifically appropriated by the Council for
such purpose as if no such notice had been given. The Trustee may waive the right to
receive 45 days advance notice and may agree to a shorter notice period in the sole
determination of the Trustee.
(c)All Additional Rentals shall be paid by the Town on a timely basis directly
to the person or entity to which such Additional Rentals are owed. Additional Rentals shall
include, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee, reasonable
expenses of the Trustee in connection with the Leased Property and for the cost of taxes,
insurance premiums, utility charges, maintenance and repair costs and all other expenses
expressly required to be paid hereunder, and any other amounts due to the insurer of any
of the Certificates, and any Rebate Fund payments required pursuant to this Lease and the
Indenture. All of the payments required by this paragraph are subject to Appropriation by
the Town; provided, however, a failure by the Town to budget and appropriate moneys for
any of the payments required by this paragraph shall constitute an Event of
Nonappropriation.
If the Town’s estimates of Additional Rentals for any Fiscal Year are not itemized in the
budget required to be furnished to the Trustee under Section 4.1 hereof, the Town shall furnish an
itemization of such estimated Additional Rentals to the Trustee on or before the 15th day of the
month immediately preceding such Fiscal Year.
Section 6.3 Manner of Payment. The Base Rentals, for which an Appropriation has
been effected by the Town, and, if paid, the Purchase Option Price, shall be paid or prepaid by the
Town to the Trustee at its corporate trust office by wire transfer of federal funds, certified funds
or other method of payment acceptable to the Trustee in lawful money of the United States of
America.
259
19
An installment of Base Rentals or, if payable to the Trustee and due to Owner, Additional
Rentals shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee holds on the preceding Business
Day, by 10:00am Denver time, U.S. legal tender designated for and sufficient to pay the amount
due to Owners.
The obligation of the Town to pay the Base Rentals and Additional Rentals as required
under this Article 6 and other sections hereof in any Fiscal Year for which an Appropriation has
been effected by the Town for the payment thereof shall be absolute and unconditional and
payment of the Base Rentals and Additional Rentals in such Fiscal Years shall not be abated
through accident or unforeseen circumstances, or any default by the Trustee under this Lease, or
under any other agreement between the Town and the Trustee, or for any other reason including
without limitation, any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure of consideration,
destruction of or damage to the Leased Property, commercial frustration of purpose, or failure of
the Trustee, to perform and observe any agreement, whether expressed or implied, or any duty,
liability or obligation arising out of or connected with this Lease, it being the intention of the
parties that the payments required by this Lease will be paid in full when due without any delay or
diminution whatsoever, subject only to the annually renewable nature of the Town’s obligation
hereunder as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, and further subject to the Town’s rights under Section
9.3 hereof. Notwithstanding any dispute between the Town and the Trustee, the Town shall, during
the Lease Term, make all payments of Base Rentals and Additional Rentals in such Fiscal Years
and shall not withhold any Base Rentals or Additional Rentals, for which an Appropriation has
been effected by the Town, pending final resolution of such dispute (except to the extent permitted
by Sections 8.2 and 9.3 hereof with respect to certain Additional Rentals), nor shall the Town
assert any right of set-off or counterclaim against its obligation to make such payments required
hereunder. No action or inaction on the part of the Trustee shall affect the Town’s obligation to
pay all Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, for which a specific Appropriation has been effected
by the Town for such purpose, in such Fiscal Years subject to this Article (except to the extent
provided by Sections 8.2 and 9.3 hereof with respect to certain Additional Rentals).
Section 6.4 Nonappropriation. In the event that the Town gives notice that it intends
to not renew this Lease as provided by Section 4.1 hereof or the Town shall not effect an
Appropriation, on or before December 31 of each Fiscal Year, of moneys to pay all Base Rentals
and reasonably estimated Additional Rentals coming due for the next ensuing Renewal Term as
provided in Section 4.1 hereof and this Article, or in the event that the Town is proceeding under
the provisions of Section 10.3(c) hereof (when applicable), an Event of Nonappropriation shall be
deemed to have occurred; subject, however, to each of the following provisions:
(a)In the event the Trustee does not receive the written notice provided for by
Section 4.1 hereof or evidence that an Appropriation has been effected by the Town on or
before December 31 of a Fiscal Year, then the Trustee shall declare an Event of
Nonappropriation on the first Business Day of the February following such Fiscal Year or
such declaration shall be made on any earlier date on which the Trustee receives official,
specific written notice from the Town that this Lease will not be renewed; provided that
the Trustee’s failure to declare an Event of Nonappropriation on such date shall not be
construed as a waiver of the Event of Nonappropriation or the consequences of an Event
of Nonappropriation under this Lease. In order to declare an Event of Nonappropriation,
the Trustee shall send written notice thereof to the Town.
260
20
(b)The Trustee shall waive any Event of Nonappropriation which is cured by
the Town, within 30 days of the receipt by the Town of notice from the Trustee as provided
in (a) above, by a duly effected Appropriation to pay all Base Rentals and sufficient
amounts to pay reasonably estimated Additional Rentals coming due for such Renewal
Term.
(c)Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Trustee may waive any Event of
Nonappropriation which is cured by the Town within a reasonable time with the procedure
described in (b) above.
In the event that during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, any Additional Rentals shall
become due which were not included in a duly effected Appropriation and moneys are not
specifically budgeted and appropriated or otherwise made available to pay such Additional Rentals
within 60 days subsequent to the date upon which such Additional Rentals are due, an Event of
Nonappropriation shall be deemed to have occurred, upon notice by the Trustee to the Town to
such effect (subject to waiver by the Trustee as hereinbefore provided).
If an Event of Nonappropriation occurs, the Town shall not be obligated to make payment
of the Base Rentals or Additional Rentals or any other payments provided for herein which accrue
after the last day of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term during which such Event of
Nonappropriation occurs; provided, however, that, subject to the limitations of Sections 6.1 and
14.3 hereof, the Town shall continue to be liable for Base Rentals and Additional Rentals allocable
to any period during which the Town shall continue to occupy, use or retain possession of the
Leased Property.
Subject to Section 6.5 hereof, the Town shall in all events vacate or surrender possession
of the Leased Property by March 1 of the Renewal Term in respect of which an Event of
Nonappropriation has occurred.
After March 1 of the Renewal Term in respect of which an Event of Nonappropriation has
occurred, the Trustee may proceed to exercise all or any Lease Remedies.
The Town acknowledges that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation (a) the
Trustee shall be entitled to all moneys then being held in all funds created under the Indenture
(except the Rebate Fund, and any defeasance escrow accounts which are established with the
written consent of the Trustee) to be used as described therein and (b) all property, funds and rights
then held or acquired by the Trustee upon the termination hereof by reason of an Event of
Nonappropriation are to be held by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
Section 6.5 Holdover Tenant. If the Town fails to vacate the Leased Property after
termination of this Lease, whether as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation
or an Event of Lease Default as provided in Section 14.2(a) hereof, with the written permission of
the Trustee it will be deemed to be a holdover tenant on a month-to-month basis, and will be bound
by all of the other terms, covenants and agreements of this Lease. Any holding over by the Town
without the written permission of the Trustee shall be at sufferance. The amount of rent to be paid
monthly during any period when the Town is deemed to be a holdover tenant will be equal to
(a) one-sixth of the Interest Portion of the Base Rentals coming due on the next succeeding Base
Rentals Payment Date plus one-twelfth of the Principal Portion of the Base Rentals coming due
261
21
on the next succeeding Base Rentals Payment Date on which a Principal Portion of the Base
Rentals would have been payable with appropriate adjustments to ensure the full payment of such
amounts on the due dates thereof in the event termination occurs during a Renewal Term plus
(b) Additional Rentals as the same shall become due.
Section 6.6 Prohibition of Adverse Budget or Appropriation Modifications. To the
extent permitted by law, the Town shall not, during any Fiscal Year of the Lease Term, make any
budgetary transfers or other modifications to its then existing budget and appropriation measures
relating to the Leased Property or this Lease which would adversely affect the Town’s ability to
meet its obligation to pay Base Rentals and duly budgeted and appropriated Additional Rentals
hereunder.
262
22
ARTICLE 7
SITE LEASE; TITLE INSURANCE
Section 7.1 Site Lease. At the time of the execution and delivery of this Lease, the
Town shall have leased to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall have leased from the Town, the Leased
Property pursuant to the Site Lease. As further provided in Section 8.1 hereof, a leasehold interest
in the Leased Property shall be held by the Trustee, subject to this Lease.
Section 7.2 Title Insurance. The Trustee shall be provided with a Leasehold Owner’s
title insurance policy insuring the Trustee’s leasehold estate in the Leased Property under the Site
Lease, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, with such policy to be in an amount not less than
the original aggregate principal amount of the Certificates or such lesser amount as shall be the
maximum insurable value of the Leased Property. Such policy, or a binding commitment therefor,
shall be provided to the Trustee concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Certificates.
263
23
ARTICLE 8
TITLE TO LEASED PROPERTY;
LIMITATIONS ON ENCUMBRANCES
Section 8.1 Title to the Leased Property. At all times during the Lease Term, title to
the Leased Property shall remain in the Town, subject to the Site Lease, this Lease, the Indenture
and any other Permitted Encumbrances. Except for personal property purchased by the Town at
its own expense pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, a leasehold estate in the Leased Property and any
and all additions and modifications thereto and replacements thereof shall be held in the name of
the Trustee until the Trustee has exercised Lease Remedies or until the Trustee’s leasehold interest
in the Leased Property is conveyed to the Town as provided in Article 12 hereof, or until
termination of the Site Lease, notwithstanding (a) the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation;
(b) the occurrence of one or more Events of Lease Default; (c) the occurrence of any event of
damage, destruction, condemnation, or construction, manufacturing or design defect or title defect,
as provided in Article 10 hereof; or (d) the violation by the Trustee of any provision of the Site
Lease or this Lease. The Trustee shall not, in any way, be construed as the owner of the Leased
Property.
Section 8.2 No Encumbrance, Mortgage or Pledge of the Leased Property. Except
as may be permitted by this Lease, the Town shall not permit any mechanic’s or other lien to be
established or remain against the Leased Property; provided that, if the Town shall first notify the
Trustee of the intention of the Town to do so, the Town may in good faith contest any mechanic’s
or other lien filed or established against the Leased Property, and in such event may permit the
items so contested to remain undischarged and unsatisfied during the period of such contest and
any appeal therefrom unless the Trustee shall notify the Town that, in the opinion of Counsel, by
nonpayment of any such items the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property will be
materially endangered, or the Leased Property or any part thereof will be subject to loss or
forfeiture, in which event the Town shall promptly pay and cause to be satisfied and discharged
all such unpaid items (provided, however, that such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the
right to continue to contest such items). The Trustee will cooperate in any such contest. Except
as may be permitted by this Lease, the Town shall not directly or indirectly create, incur, assume
or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or claim on or with respect to
the Leased Property, except Permitted Encumbrances. The Town shall promptly, at its expense,
take such action as may be necessary to duly discharge any such mortgage, pledge, lien, charge,
encumbrance or claim not excepted above.

MAINTENANCE; TAXES; INSURANCE
AND OTHER CHARGES
Section 9.1 Maintenance of the Leased Property by the Town. Subject to its right to
not appropriate and as otherwise provided in Section 10.3 hereof, the Town agrees that at all times
during the Lease Term, the Town will maintain, preserve and keep the Leased Property or cause
the Leased Property to be maintained, preserved and kept, in good repair, working order and
condition, and from time to time make or cause to be made all necessary and proper repairs,
including replacements, if necessary. The Trustee shall have no responsibility in any of these
matters or for the making of any additions, modifications or replacements to the Leased Property.
Section 9.2 Modification of the Leased Property; Installation of Furnishings and
Machinery of the Town. The Town shall have the privilege of making substitutions, additions,
modifications and improvements to the Leased Property, at its own cost and expense, as
appropriate and any such substitutions, additions, modifications and improvements to the Leased
Property shall be the property of the Town, subject to the Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture
and shall be included under the terms of the Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture; provided,
however, that such substitutions, additions, modifications and improvements shall not in any way
damage the Leased Property or cause the Leased Property to be used for purposes other than lawful
governmental functions of the Town (except to the extent of subleasing permitted under Section
13.2 hereof) or cause the Town to violate its tax covenant in Section 11.5 hereof; and provided
that the Leased Property, as improved or altered, upon completion of such substitutions, additions,
modifications and improvements, shall be of a value not less than the value of the Leased Property
immediately prior to such making of substitutions, additions, modifications and improvements.
The Town may also, from time to time in its sole discretion and at its own expense, install
machinery, equipment and other tangible property in or on the Leased Property. All such
machinery, equipment and other tangible property shall remain the sole property of the Town in
which the Trustee shall have no interests; provided, however, that title to any such machinery,
equipment and other tangible property which becomes permanently affixed to the Leased Property
shall be included under the terms of the Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture, in the event that
such Leased Property would be damaged or impaired by the removal of such machinery,
equipment or other tangible property.
The Town shall have the right to make substitutions to the Leased Property upon
compliance with the provisions set forth in Section 11.4 hereof.
Section 9.3 Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges. In the event
that the Leased Property shall, for any reason, be deemed subject to taxation, assessments or
charges lawfully made by any governmental body, the Town shall pay the amount of all such taxes,
assessments and governmental charges then due, as Additional Rentals. With respect to special
assessments or other governmental charges which may be lawfully paid in installments over a
period of years, the Town shall be obligated to provide for Additional Rentals only for such
installments as are required to be paid during the upcoming Fiscal Year. Except for Permitted
Encumbrances, the Town shall not allow any liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges
to exist with respect to the Leased Property (including, without limitation, any taxes levied upon
265
25
the Leased Property which, if not paid, will become a charge on the rentals and receipts from the
Leased Property, or any interest therein, including the leasehold interests of the Trustee), or the
rentals and revenues derived therefrom or hereunder. The Town shall also pay as Additional
Rentals, as the same respectively become due, all utility and other charges and fees and other
expenses incurred in the operation, maintenance and upkeep of the Leased Property.
The Town may, at its expense, in good faith contest any such taxes, assessments, utility
and other charges and, in the event of any such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments, utility
or other charges so contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest and any appeal
therefrom unless the Trustee shall notify the Town that, in the opinion of Counsel, by nonpayment
of any such items the value of the Leased Property will be materially endangered or the Leased
Property will be subject to loss or forfeiture, or the Trustee will be subject to liability, in which
event such taxes, assessments, utility or other charges shall be paid forthwith (provided, however,
that such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to continue to contest such taxes,
assessments, utility or other charges).
Section 9.4 Provisions for Liability and Property Insurance. During the Initial Term
and each Renewal Term until termination of the Lease pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, the Town
shall, at its own expense, cause casualty and property damage insurance to be carried and
maintained with respect to the Leased Property in an amount at least equal to the estimated
replacement cost of the Leased Property. Such insurance policy or policies may have a deductible
clause in an amount deemed reasonable by the Council. The Town may, in its discretion, insure
the Leased Property under blanket insurance policies which insure not only the Leased Property,
but other buildings as well, as long as such blanket insurance policies comply with the
requirements hereof. If the Town shall insure against similar risks by self-insurance, the Town
may, at its election provide for casualty and property damage insurance with respect to the Leased
Property, partially or wholly by means of a self-insurance fund. If the Town shall elect to self-
insure, the Town Representative shall annually furnish to the Trustee a certification of the
adequacy of the Town’s reserves. The Trustee shall be named additional insured and loss payee
on any casualty and property insurance.
Upon the execution and delivery of this Lease and until termination of the Lease Term
pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, the Town shall, at its own expense, cause public liability insurance
to be carried and maintained with respect to the activities to be undertaken by and on behalf of the
Town in connection with the use of the Leased Property, in an amount not less than the limitations
provided in the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (C.R.S. § 24-10-101, et seq., as amended).
Such insurance may contain deductibles and exclusions deemed reasonable by the Council. The
public liability insurance required by this Section may be by blanket insurance policy or policies.
If the Town shall insure against similar risks by self-insurance, the Town, at its election may
provide for public liability insurance with respect to the Leased Property, partially or wholly by
means of a self-insurance fund. If the Town elects to self-insure, the Town Representative shall
annually furnish to the Trustee a certification of the adequacy of the Town’s reserves. The Trustee
shall be named as additional insured and loss payee on any public liability insurance.
Any casualty and property damage insurance policy required by this Section shall be so
written or endorsed as to make payments under such insurance policy payable to the Town and the
Trustee. Each insurance policy provided for in this Section shall contain a provision to the effect
266
26
that the insurance company shall not cancel the policy without first giving written notice thereof
to the Town at least 30 days in advance of such cancellation. A certificate of insurance from the
Town or the Town’s insurance agent will be acceptable evidence of insurance. All insurance
policies issued pursuant to this Section, or certificates evidencing such policies, shall be deposited
with the Trustee. No agent or employee of the Town shall have the power to adjust or settle any
loss with respect to the Leased Property in excess of $25,000, whether or not covered by insurance,
without the prior written consent of the Trustee; except that losses not exceeding $100,000 may
be adjusted or settled by the Town without the Trustee’s consent. The Trustee shall have no
responsibility for monitoring, renewing, or receiving of the insurance policies, or the certificates
evidencing such policies, or the documents pertaining thereto, except as provided herein or in the
Site Lease.
Section 9.5 Advances. If the Town fails to pay any Additional Rentals during the Lease
Term as such Additional Rentals become due, the Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) pay
such Additional Rentals and the Town agrees to reimburse the Trustee to the extent permitted by
law and subject to Appropriation as provided under Article 6 hereof.
Section 9.6 Granting of Easements. As long as no Event of Nonappropriation or Event
of Lease Default shall have happened and be continuing, the Trustee, shall upon the request of the
Town: (a) grant or enter into easements, permits, licenses, party wall and other agreements, rights-
of-way (including the dedication of public roads) and other rights or privileges in the nature of
easements, permits, licenses, party wall and other agreements and rights of way with respect to
any property or rights included in this Lease (whether such rights are in the nature of surface rights,
sub-surface rights or air space rights), free from this Lease and any security interest or other
encumbrance created hereunder or thereunder; (b) release existing easements, permits, licenses,
party wall and other agreements, rights-of-way, and other rights and privileges with respect to such
property or rights, with or without consideration; and (c) execute and deliver any instrument
necessary or appropriate to grant, enter into or release any such easement, permit, license, party
wall or other agreement, right-of-way or other grant or privilege upon receipt of: (i) a copy of the
instrument of grant, agreement or release and (ii) a written application signed by the Town
Representative requesting such grant, agreement or release and stating that such grant, agreement
or release will not materially impair the effective use or materially interfere with the operation of
the Leased Property, and will not materially adversely affect the security intended to be given by
or under the Indenture, the Site Lease or this Lease.

ARTICLE 10
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION;
USE OF NET PROCEEDS
Section 10.1 Damage, Destruction and Condemnation. If, during the Lease Term, and
of the following occur, then, the Town shall be obligated to continue to pay Base Rentals and
Additional Rentals (subject to Article 6 hereof):
(a)The Leased Property shall be destroyed (in whole or in part), or damaged
by fire, contamination, or other casualty; or
(b)Title to, or the temporary or permanent use of, the Leased Property or the
estate of the Town or the Trustee in the Leased Property is taken under the exercise of the
power of eminent domain by any governmental body or by any person, firm or entity acting
under governmental authority; or
(c)A breach of warranty or a material defect in the construction, manufacture
or design of the Leased Property becomes apparent; or
(d)Title to or the use of all or a portion of the Leased Property is lost by reason
of a defect in title thereto,
Section 10.2 Obligation to Repair and Replace the Leased Property. The Town and
the Trustee, to the extent Net Proceeds are within their respective control, shall cause such Net
Proceeds of any insurance policies, performance bonds or condemnation awards to be deposited
in a separate trust fund held by the Trustee. All Net Proceeds so deposited shall be applied to the
prompt repair, restoration, modification, improvement or replacement of the Leased Property by
the Town, upon receipt by the Trustee of requisitions signed by the Town Representative stating
with respect to each payment to be made:
(a)The requisition number;
(b)The name and address of the person, firm or entity to whom payment is due;
(c)The amount to be paid; and
(d)That each obligation mentioned therein has been properly incurred, is a
proper charge against the separate trust fund and has not been the basis of any previous
withdrawal and specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the obligation, accompanied
by a bill or a statement of account for such obligation.
The Trustee shall have no duty to review or examine the accompanying bill, invoice or
statement of account, but may conclusively rely on the properly executed disbursement request.
The Town and the Trustee shall agree to cooperate and use their best reasonable efforts subject to
the terms of the Indenture to enforce claims which may arise in connection with material defects
in the construction, manufacture or design of the Leased Property or otherwise. If there is a balance
of any Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased Property remaining after such repair, restoration,
268
28
modification, improvement or replacement has been completed, this balance shall be used by the
Town, to:
(a)Add to, modify or alter the Leased Property or add new components thereto,
or
(b)Prepay the Base Rentals with a corresponding adjustment in the amount of
Base Rentals payable under Exhibit C (Base Rentals Schedule) to this Lease, or
(c)Accomplish a combination of (a) and (b).
Any repair, restoration, remediation, modification, improvement or replacement of the
Leased Property paid for in whole or in part out of Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased Property
shall be the property of the Town, subject to the Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture and shall
be included as part of the Leased Property under this Lease.
Section 10.4 Insufficiency of Net Proceeds. If the Net Proceeds (plus any amounts
withheld from such Net Proceeds by reason of any deductible clause) are insufficient to pay in full
the cost of any repair, restoration, remediation, modification, improvement or replacement of the
Leased Property required under Section 10.2 hereof, the Town may elect to:
(a)Complete the work or replace such Leased Property (or portion thereof)
with similar property of a value equal to or in excess of such portion of the Leased Property
and pay as Additional Rentals, to the extent amounts for Additional Rentals which have
been specifically appropriated by the Town are available for payment of such cost, any cost
in excess of the amount of the Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased Property, and the Town
agrees that, if by reason of any such insufficiency of the Net Proceeds allocable to the
Leased Property, the Town shall make any payments pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph, the Town shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from the Trustee,
nor shall the Town be entitled to any diminution of the Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals, for which a specific Appropriation has been effected by the Town for such
purpose, payable under Article 6 hereof; or
(b)Apply the Net Proceeds allocable to the Leased Property to the payment of
the Purchase Option Price in accordance with Article 12 hereof, or an appropriate portion
thereof. In the event of an insufficiency of the Net Proceeds for such purpose, the Town
shall, subject to the limitations of Section 6.1 hereof, pay such amounts as may be necessary
to equal that portion of the Purchase Option Price which is attributable to the Leased
Property for which Net Proceeds have been received (as certified to the Trustee by the
Town); and in the event the Net Proceeds shall exceed such portion of the Purchase Option
Price, such excess shall be used as directed by the Town in the same manner as set forth in
Section 10.2 hereof; or
(c)If the Town does not timely budget and appropriate sufficient funds to
proceed under either (a) or (b) above, an Event of Nonappropriation will be deemed to have
occurred and, subject to the Town’s right to cure, the Trustee may pursue remedies
available to it following an Event of Nonappropriation.
269
29
The above referenced election shall be made by the Town within 90 days of the occurrence
of an event specified in Section 10.1 hereof. It is hereby declared to be the Town’s present
intention that, if an event described in Section 10.1 hereof should occur and if the Net Proceeds
shall be insufficient to pay in full the cost of repair, restoration, modification, improvement or
replacement of the Leased Property, the Town would use its best efforts to proceed under either
paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above; but it is also acknowledged that the Town must operate
within budgetary and other economic constraints applicable to it at the time, which cannot be
predicted with certainty; and accordingly the foregoing declaration shall not be construed to
contractually obligate or otherwise bind the Town.
Section 10.5 Cooperation of the Trustee. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the
Town in filing any proof of loss with respect to any insurance policy or performance bond covering
the events described in Section 10.1 hereof and in the prosecution or defense of any prospective
or pending condemnation proceeding with respect to the Leased Property and the enforcement of
all warranties relating to the Leased Property. So long as no Event of Lease Default or Event of
Nonappropriation has occurred and is then existing, the Trustee shall not voluntarily settle, or
consent to the settlement of, any proceeding arising out of any insurance claim performance or
payment bond claim, prospective or pending condemnation proceeding with respect to the Leased
Property without the written consent of the Town.

ARTICLE 11
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; OTHER COVENANTS
Section 11.1 Disclaimer of Warranties. THE TRUSTEE HAS NOT MADE AND
WILL NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, AS TO THE VALUE, DESIGN, CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE LEASED PROPERTY OR
ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASED
PROPERTY. THE TOWN HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND DECLARES THAT THE
TOWN IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDITION, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR
AND OPERATION OF THE LEASED PROPERTY, AND THAT THE TRUSTEE HAS NO
RESPONSIBILITY THEREFOR. For the purpose of enabling the Town to discharge such
responsibility, the Trustee constitutes and appoints the Town as its attorney in fact for the purpose
of asserting and enforcing, at the sole cost and expense of the Town, all manufacturer’s and
contractor’s warranties and guaranties, express or implied, with respect to the Leased Property, as
well as any claims or rights the Trustee may have in respect of the Leased Property against any
manufacturer, supplier, contractor or other person. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the
Trustee shall not be liable for any direct or indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential
damage in connection with or arising out of this Lease, the Leased Property, or the existence,
furnishing, functioning or use by the Town of any item, product or service provided for herein
except that nothing shall relieve the Trustee’s liability for any claims, damages, liability or court
awards, including costs, expenses and attorney fees, relating to or arising from the Trustee’s
actions or omissions that result from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Trustee
or its employees.
Section 11.2 Further Assurances and Corrective Instruments. The Trustee and the
Town agree that they will, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be
executed, acknowledged and delivered, such amendments hereof or supplements hereto and such
further instruments as may reasonably be required for correcting any inadequate or incorrect
description of the Leased Property.
Section 11.3 Compliance with Requirements. During the Lease Term, the Town and
the Trustee shall observe and comply promptly to the extent possible with all current and future
orders of all courts having jurisdiction over the Leased Property and/or all administrative orders
issued by a governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Leased Property, provided that the
Town and the Trustee may contest or appeal such orders so long as they are in compliance with
such orders during the contest or appeal period, and all current and future requirements of all
insurance companies writing policies covering the Leased Property.
Section 11.4 Release and Substitution of Leased Property. So long as no Event of
Lease Default or Event of Nonappropriation shall have occurred and be continuing, the Town shall
be entitled to substitute any improved or unimproved real estate (collectively, the “Replacement
Property”), for any Leased Property then subject to the Site Lease, this Lease, and the Indenture,
upon receipt by the Trustee of a written request of the Town Representative requesting such release
and substitution, provided that:
271
31
a.Such Replacement Property shall have an equal or greater value and utility
(but not necessarily the same function) to the Town as the Leased Property proposed to be
released, as determined by a certificate from the Town to that effect;
b.The insured replacement value of Replacement Property, together with the
insured replacement value of any portion of the Leased Property that remains after such
substitution, shall be not less than the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Certificates, as certified in writing by the Town Representative; and
c.The execution and delivery of such supplements and amendments to the Site
Lease, this Lease and the Indenture, as applicable, and any other documents necessary to
subject the Replacement Property to the encumbrance of the Site Lease, this Lease and the
Indenture, and to release the portion of the Leased Property to be released from the
encumbrance Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture.
The Trustee shall cooperate with the Town in implementing the Town’s rights to release
and substitute property pursuant to this Section 11.4 and shall execute any and all conveyances,
releases, or other documents necessary or appropriate in connection therewith.
Section 11.5 Tax Covenants. The Town acknowledges that the moneys in all funds and
accounts expected to be created under the Indenture are to be invested or deposited by the Trustee,
at the written direction of the Town.
The Town covenants for the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates that it will not take
any action or omit to take any action with respect to the Certificates, the proceeds thereof, any
other funds of the Town, or any facilities financed or refinanced with the proceeds of the
Certificates (except for the possible exercise of the Town’s right to terminate this Lease as
provided herein) if such action or omission: (a) would cause the interest on the Certificates to lose
its exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Tax
Code; or (b) would cause interest on the Certificates to become a specific preference item for
purposes of federal alternative minimum tax under the Tax Code, except as such interest is taken
into account in determining the annual adjusted financial statement income of applicable
corporations (as defined in Section 59(k) of the Tax Code) for the purpose of computing the
alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations; or (c) would cause interest on the Certificates
to lose its exclusion from Colorado taxable income or to lose its exclusion from Colorado
alternative minimum taxable income under present Colorado law. Subject to the Town’s right to
terminate this Lease as provided herein, the foregoing covenant shall remain in full force and
effect, notwithstanding the payment in full or defeasance of the Certificates, until the date on which
all obligations of the Town in fulfilling the above covenant under the Tax Code and Colorado law
have been met.
In addition, the Town covenants that its direction of investments pursuant to Article 5 of
the Indenture shall be in compliance with the procedures established by the Tax Certificate to the
extent required to comply with its covenants contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section.
The Town hereby agrees that, to the extent necessary, it will, during the Lease Term, pay to the
Trustee such sums as are required for the Trustee to pay the amounts due and owing to the United
States Treasury as rebate payments. Any such payment shall be accompanied by directions to the
272
32
Trustee to pay such amounts to the United States Treasury. Any payment of Town moneys
pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be Additional Rentals for all purposes of this Lease.
The Town is to execute the Tax Certificate in connection with the execution and delivery
of this Lease, which Tax Certificate shall provide further details in respect of the Town’s tax
covenants herein.
Section 11.6 Undertaking to Provide Ongoing Disclosure. The Town covenants for
the benefit of the Owners of the Certificates to comply with the terms of the Continuing Disclosure
Certificate, provided that a failure of the Town to do so shall not constitute an Event of Lease
Default. The Trustee shall have no power or duty to enforce this Section. Unless otherwise
required by law, no Certificate owner shall be entitled to damages for the Town’s non-compliance
with its obligations under this Section; however, the Certificate Owners may enforce specific
performance of the obligations contained in this Section by any judicial proceedings available.
Section 11.7 Exculpation; Covenant to Reimburse Legal Expenses. To the extent
permitted by law, the Town shall hold harmless the Trustee against claims arising from the alleged
negligent acts or omissions of the Town’s public employees, which occurred or are alleged to have
occurred during the performance of their duties and within the scope of their employment, unless
such acts or omissions are, or are alleged to be, willful and wanton. Such claims shall be subject
to the limitations of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, C.R.S. 24-10-101 et seq. The
Town shall include as Additional Rentals, the reimbursement of reasonable and necessary fees and
expenses incurred by the Trustee to defend the Trustee from and against all claims, by or on behalf
of any person, firm, corporation or other legal entity arising from the conduct or management of
the Leased Property or from any work or thing done on the Leased Property during the Lease Term
requested by the Town, or from any condition of the Leased Property caused by the Town. This
duty to reimburse the Trustee’s legal expenses is not an indemnification and it is expressly
understood that the Town is not indemnifying the Trustee and, as previously stated, is limited to
Net Proceeds and moneys, if any, in excess of such Net Proceeds, for which an Appropriation has
been effected.
Section 11.8 Access to the Leased Property; Rights to Inspect Books. The Town
agrees that the Trustee shall have the right at all reasonable times to examine and inspect the
Leased Property (subject to such reasonable regulations as may be imposed by the Town for
security purposes) and all of the Town’s books and records with respect thereto, but the Trustee
has no duty to inspect the Leased Property books or records. The Town further agrees that the
Trustee shall have such rights of access to the Leased Property as may be reasonably necessary to
cause the proper maintenance of the Leased Property in the event of failure by the Town to perform
its obligations under this Lease. The Indenture allows the Town to have the right at all reasonable
times to examine and inspect all of the Trustee’s books and records with respect to the Leased
Property and all funds and accounts held under the Indenture, until six years following the
discharge of the Indenture.
The Town and its representatives shall have the right to examine and inspect the books and
records of the Trustee relating to the Leased Property at all reasonable times from the date of this
Lease and until three years after the termination date of this Lease.
273
33
Section 11.9 Environmental Matters. If the Trustee has reason to believe of the
existence of contamination on the Leased Property or other environmental hazards on the Leased
Property, the Trustee has the right to take no further action and, in such event no fiduciary duty
exists which imposes any obligation for further action with respect to the Leased Property or any
portion thereof if the Trustee, in its individual capacity, determines that any such action would
materially and adversely subject the Trustee to environmental or other liability for which the
Trustee has not been adequately indemnified.
274
34
ARTICLE 12
PURCHASE OPTION
Section 12.1 Purchase Option. The Town shall have the option to purchase the
Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property, but only if an Event of Lease Default or an
Event of Nonappropriation has not occurred and is then continuing. The Town may exercise its
option on any date by complying with one of the conditions set forth in Section 12.2.
The Town shall give the Trustee notice of its intention to exercise its option not less than
45 days in advance of the date of exercise and shall deposit the required moneys with the Trustee
on or before the date selected to pay the Purchase Option Price. The Trustee may waive such
notice or may agree to a shorter notice period in the sole determination of the Trustee.
If the Town shall have given notice to the Trustee of its intention to purchase the Trustee’s
leasehold interest in the Leased Property or prepay Base Rentals, but shall not have deposited the
amounts with the Trustee on the date specified in such notice, the Town shall continue to pay Base
Rentals, which have been specifically appropriated by the Town for such purpose, as if no such
notice had been given.
Section 12.2 Conditions for Purchase Option. The Trustee shall transfer and release
the Trustee’s leasehold interests in the Leased Property to the Town in the manner provided for in
Section 12.3 hereof; provided, however, that prior to such transfer and release, either:
(a)The Town shall have paid the then applicable Purchase Option Price which
shall equal the sum of the amount necessary to defease and discharge the Indenture as
provided therein (i.e., provision for payment of all principal and interest portions of any
and all Certificates which may have been executed and delivered pursuant to the Indenture
shall have been made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture) plus any fees and
expenses then owing to the Trustee; or
(b)The Town shall have paid all Base Rentals set forth in Exhibit C (Base
Rentals Schedule) hereto, for the entire maximum Lease Term, and all then current
Additional Rentals required to be paid hereunder.
At the Town’s option, amounts then on deposit in any fund held under the Indenture (except
the Rebate Fund and excluding any defeasance escrow funds which are established with the written
consent of the Trustee) may be credited toward the Purchase Option Price.
Section 12.3 Manner of Conveyance. At the closing of the purchase or other
conveyance of all of the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property pursuant to Section
12.2 hereof, the Trustee shall release and terminate the Site Lease, this Lease and the Indenture
and execute and deliver to the Town any necessary documents releasing, assigning, transferring
and conveying the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased Property (in the same manner by
which Trustee took title), as they then exist, subject only to the following:
(a)Permitted Encumbrances, other than the Site Lease, this Lease and the
Indenture;
275
35
(b)All liens, encumbrances and restrictions created or suffered to exist by the
Trustee as required or permitted by the Site Lease, this Lease or the Indenture or arising as
a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee as required or permitted
by the Site Lease, this Lease or the Indenture;
(c)any lien or encumbrance created or suffered to exist by action of the Town;
and
(d)those liens and encumbrances (if any) to which title to the Leased Property
was subject when leased to the Trustee.
Section 12.4 Release of Portions of the Leased Property. When the principal
component of Base Rentals paid by the Town, plus the principal amount of any Certificates
redeemed through optional redemption, or the total principal amount of Certificates paid or
deemed to be paid pursuant to Article VI of the Indenture, equals the amount set forth in Exhibit E
hereto, the cost of the corresponding portion of the Leased Property set forth in Exhibit E (or of
any property substituted for such portion of the Leased Property pursuant to any provision of this
Lease) shall be deemed to have been fully amortized and the Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the Town all documents necessary to release such portion of the Leased Property from the
provisions of the Site Lease and this Lease (or any property substituted for such portion of the
Leased Property pursuant to any provision of this Lease); provided, however, that the insured
replacement value of the remaining Leased Property shall be at least equal to 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Certificates Outstanding at the time of such release, as certified
in writing by the Town Representative. Upon such release of a portion of the Leased Property, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Town all documents necessary or appropriate to convey
the Trustee’s leasehold interest in such portion of the Leased Property to the Town, free of all
restrictions and encumbrances imposed or created by this Lease, the Site Lease or the Indenture,
in substantially the manner provided in Section 12.3 hereof. After such release and conveyance,
the property so released and conveyed shall no longer be a part of the Leased Property for any
purpose of this Lease, the Site Lease or the Indenture. The Trustee shall fully cooperate with the
Town in executing, delivering and recording, at the Town’s expense, such documents as may be
necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section.
276

ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING
Section 13.1 Assignment by the Trustee; Replacement of the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in this Lease and the Indenture, this Lease may not be assigned by the Trustee
for any reason other than to a successor by operation of law or to a successor trustee under the
Indenture or with the prior written consent of the Town which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Trustee will notify the Town of any assignment to a successor by operation of law.
If an Event of Lease Default or Event of Nonappropriation has occurred and is continuing,
the Trustee may act as herein provided, including exercising the remedies set forth in Section 14.2
hereof without the prior written direction of the Town.
Section 13.2 Assignment and Subleasing by the Town. This Lease may not be
assigned by the Town for any reason other than to a successor by operation of law. However, the
Leased Property may be subleased, as a whole or in part, by the Town, without the necessity of

Events of Lease Default under this Lease:
(a)Failure by the Town to pay any Base Rentals or Additional Rentals, which
have been specifically appropriated by the Town for such purpose, during the Initial Term

(b)Subject to the provisions of Section 6.5 hereof, failure by the Town to vacate
or surrender possession of the Leased Property by March 1 of any Renewal Term in respect
of which an Event of Nonappropriation has occurred; or
(c)Failure by the Town to observe and perform any covenant, condition or
agreement on its part to be observed or performed hereunder, other than as referred to in
(a) or (b), (and other than a failure to comply with Section 11.6 hereof) for a period of 30
days after written notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied shall
be received by the Town from the Trustee, unless the Trustee shall agree in writing to an
extension of such time prior to its expiration; provided that if the failure stated in the notice
cannot be corrected within the applicable period, the Trustee shall not withhold its consent
to an extension of such time if corrective action can be instituted by the Town within the
applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected; or
(d)Failure by the Town to comply with the terms of the Site Lease.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 14.1 are subject to the following limitations:
(i)The Town shall be obligated to pay the Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals, which have been specifically appropriated by the Town for such purpose,
only during the then current Lease Term, except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Lease; and
(ii)If, by reason of Force Majeure, the Town or the Trustee shall be
unable in whole or in part to carry out any agreement on their respective parts herein
contained other than the Town’s agreement to pay the Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals due hereunder, the Town or the Trustee shall not be deemed in default
during the continuance of such inability. The Town and the Trustee each agree,
however, to remedy, as promptly as legally and reasonably possible, the cause or
causes preventing the Town or the Trustee from carrying out their respective
agreements; provided that the settlement of strikes, lockouts and other industrial
disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the Town.
Section 14.2 Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Lease Default shall have
happened and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period, the Trustee may, or shall at the
request of the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Certificates then
Outstanding and upon indemnification as to costs and expenses as provided in the Indenture,
without any further demand or notice, take one or any combination of the following remedial steps:
278
38
(a)Terminate the Lease Term and give notice to the Town to vacate and
surrender possession of the Leased Property, which vacation and surrender the Town
agrees to complete within 60 days from the date of such notice; provided, in the event the
Town does not vacate and surrender possession on the termination date, the provisions of
Section 6.5 hereof shall apply;
(b)Lease or sublease the Leased Property or sell or assign any interest the
Trustee has in the Leased Property, including the Trustee’s leasehold interest in the Leased
Property;
(c)Recover from the Town:
(i)The portion of Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, for which a
specific Appropriation has been effected by the Town for such purpose, which
would otherwise have been payable hereunder, during any period in which the
Town continues to occupy, use or possess the Leased Property; and
(ii)Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, for which a specific
Appropriation has been effected by the Town for such purpose, which would
otherwise have been payable by the Town hereunder during the remainder, after the
Town vacates and surrenders possession of the Leased Property, of the Fiscal Year
in which such Event of Lease Default occurs; or
(d)Take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable
to enforce its rights in and to the Leased Property under the Site Lease, this Lease and the
Indenture.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation, the Trustee shall be entitled to
recover from the Town the amounts set forth in Section 14.2(c)(i) hereof if the Town continues to
occupy the Leased Property after December 31 of the Fiscal Year in which such Event of
Nonappropriation occurs.
The Trustee shall also be entitled, upon any Event of Lease Default, to any moneys in any
funds or accounts created under the Indenture (except the Rebate Fund or any defeasance escrow
accounts).
Section 14.3 Limitations on Remedies. The remedies in connection with an Event of
Lease Default shall be limited as set forth in this Section. A judgment requiring a payment of
money may be entered against the Town by reason of an Event of Lease Default only as to the
Town’s liabilities described in paragraph (c) of Section 14.2 hereof. A judgment requiring a
payment of money may be entered against the Town by reason of an Event of Nonappropriation
only to the extent that the Town fails to vacate and surrender possession of the Leased Property as
required by Section 6.4 hereof, and only as to the liabilities described in paragraph (c)(i) of Section
14.2 hereof. The remedy described in paragraph (c)(ii) of Section 14.2 hereof is not available for
an Event of Lease Default consisting of failure by the Town to vacate and surrender possession of
the Leased Property by March 1 following an Event of Nonappropriation.
279
39
Section 14.4 No Remedy Exclusive. Subject to Section 14.3 hereof, no remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, is intended to be exclusive, and every such remedy shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon
any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but
any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. In order to entitle the Trustee to exercise any remedy reserved in this Article 14, it shall
not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article 14.
Section 14.5 Waivers. The Trustee may waive any Event of Lease Default under this
Lease and its consequences. In the event that any agreement contained herein should be breached
by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the
particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.
Payment of Base Rentals or Additional Rentals by the Town shall not constitute a waiver of any
breach or default by the Trustee hereunder.
Section 14.6 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption
Laws. To the extent permitted by law, in the case of an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of
Lease Default neither the Town nor any one claiming through or under the Town shall or will set
up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption
laws now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of the Indenture; and
the Trustee and the Town, for themselves and all who may at any time claim through or under it,
hereby waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all such laws.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that the Town cannot and does not
hereby waive its right to set up, claim or seek to take advantage of its police powers or its right of
eminent domain.

1.The Town is a duly organized and existing home rule municipality of the State of Colorado,
created and operating pursuant to Article XX of the Constitution of the State of Colorado and the home rule
charter of the Town (the “Charter”).
2.Pursuant to Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution and Section 13.3 of the
Charter, the Town is authorized to lease, for such term as the Council determines, any real or personal
property to or from any person, firm or corporation, public or private, governmental or otherwise.
3.Because the demand for workforce housing in the Town exceeds the supply, the Council

Partners Corporation (the “Corporation”) to finance the acquisition, construction, installation, equipping of
a portion of the West Middle Creek housing development, a for-rent workforce housing development (the

public purposes, and as authorized by law, by advancing a loan to the Corporation (the “Project”).
4.The Town owns, in fee title, various properties and facilities as defined and more
particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and collectively referred to herein as the “Leased
Property”).
5.To accomplish the Project, the Council has determined that it is in the best interests of the

8.The Trustee and the Town intend that this Site Lease set forth their entire understanding
and agreement regarding the terms and conditions upon which the Trustee is leasing the Leased Property
from the Town.
9.The Town is entering into this Site Lease with the Trustee as material consideration for the
Trustee’s agreement to lease the Leased Property to the Town pursuant to the Lease. The Trustee will
prepay in full its rental payments due under this Site Lease which rental payments shall be used by the
Town to effect the Project, all pursuant to this Site Lease, the Lease and the Indenture.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1.Site Lease and Terms. The Town hereby demises and leases to the Trustee and
the Trustee hereby leases from the Town, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Leased
Property, subject to Permitted Encumbrances as described in Exhibit B hereto.
The term of this Site Lease shall commence on the date hereof and shall end on
December 31, 20[__] (the “Site Lease Termination Date”), unless sooner terminated as hereinafter
provided. If, prior to the Site Lease Termination Date, the Trustee has transferred and conveyed the
Trustee’s leasehold interest in all of the Leased Property pursuant to Article 12 of the Lease as a result of
the Town’s payment of (a) the applicable Purchase Option Price thereunder; or (b) all Base Rentals and
Additional Rentals, all as further provided in Section 12.2 of the Lease, then the term of this Site Lease
shall end in connection with such transfer and conveyance.
The term of any sublease of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or any assignment of the
Trustee’s interest in this Site Lease, pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Lease and the Indenture, shall not
extend beyond December 31, 20[__]. At the end of the term of this Site Lease, all right, title and interest
of the Trustee, or any sublessee or assignee, in and to the Leased Property, shall terminate. Upon such
termination, the Trustee and any sublessee or assignee shall execute and deliver to the Town any necessary
documents releasing, assigning, transferring and conveying the Trustee’s, sublessee’s or assignee’s
respective interests in the Leased Property.
Section 2.Rental. The Trustee has paid to the Town from the proceeds of the sale of the
Certificate, and the Town hereby acknowledges receipt from the Trustee as and for rental hereunder, paid
in advance, the sum of $[_____], as and for all rent due hereunder, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and the sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. The Council has
determined that such amount is reasonable consideration for the leasing of the Leased Property to the
Trustee for the term of this Site Lease.
Section 3.Purpose. The Trustee shall use the Leased Property solely for the purpose of
leasing the Leased Property back to the Town pursuant to the Lease and for such purposes as may be
incidental thereto; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of Lease
Default and the termination of the Lease, the Town shall vacate the Leased Property, as provided in the
Lease, and the Trustee may exercise the remedies provided in this Site Lease, the Lease and the Indenture.
Section 4.Owner in Fee. The Town represents that (a) it is the owner in fee of the Leased
Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances as described in Exhibit B hereto, and (b) the Permitted
Encumbrances do not and shall not interfere in any material way with the Leased Property. The Trustee
acknowledges that it is only obtaining a leasehold interest in the Leased Property and pursuant to this Site
Lease.
295
3
Section 5.Sales, Assignments and Subleases. Unless an Event of Nonappropriation or an
Event of Lease Default has occurred and except as may otherwise be provided in the Lease, the Trustee
may not sell or assign its rights and interests under this Site Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Leased
Property, without the written consent of the Town.
In the event that (a) the Lease is terminated for any reason and (b) this Site Lease is not terminated,
the Trustee may sublease the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or sell or assign the Trustee’s leasehold
interests in this Site Lease, pursuant to the terms of the Lease and the Indenture, and any purchasers from
or sublessees or assignees of the Trustee may sell or assign its respective interests in the Leased Property,
subject to the terms of this Site Lease, the Lease and the Indenture. The Town and the Trustee (or any
purchasers from or assignees or sublessees of the Trustee) agree that, except as permitted by this Site Lease,
the Lease and the Indenture and except for Permitted Encumbrances (including purchase options under the
Lease), neither the Town, the Trustee, nor any purchasers from or sublessees or assignees of the Trustee
will sell, mortgage or encumber the Leased Property or any portion thereof during the term of this Site
Lease.
The Trustee and any other person who has the right to use the Leased Property under this Site
Lease, at its own expense, may install equipment and other personal property in or on any portion of the
Leased Property unless it is permanently affixed to the Leased Property or removal of it would materially
damage the Leased Property, in which case it will become part of the Leased Property.
Section 6.Right of Entry. To the extent that the Lease is terminated and this Site Lease is

with respect to this Site Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Substance
on the Leased Property caused or permitted by:
(a)The Trustee after the Trustee has exercised its right to take possession of the
Leased Property after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Lease Default, or any

6

final, none of the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Site Lease shall be affected
thereby, and each provision of this Site Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted
by law.

RE: Appeal of the Planning and Environmental Commission’s denial of a GRFA Variance request at 387 Beaver Dam
Circle
To Vail Town Council:
On January 13, 2025, the Vail Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed a request for a GRFA Variance for 387
Beaver Dam Circle. AB Global Inc. recently purchased the property in July 2023. Unbeknownst to the buyers, the
previous owner had converted below grade crawl spaces to GRFA without approval from the Town of Vail. This
information was not disclosed to the new owners. The owners would like to resolve the issue - both for their current
ownership of the home and so that these issues do not arise for any future buyers. The owner is trying to find a solution
that will ultimately legalize the finished spaces within the home that the current owner would like to utilize.
We believe that this variance is warranted based on the physical characteristics of the site and the existing home. The
property was granted a separation request by the DRB in the late 1990s - allowing the secondary unit to be detached
from the primary unit. This approval was based on the presence of wetlands and a stream running through the property.
The wetland report recommended a stepped foundation to minimize impacts to the wetland vegetation. The stepped
foundation created crawl spaces at each level of the foundation. These crawl spaces were then converted to GRFA by the
previous owner.
We believe that the PEC failed to consider the necessary findings for a variance as outlined in Section 12-17-6 of the Vail
Town Code:
(B) Necessary findings. The Planning and Environmental Commission shall make the following findings before
granting a variance:
(1) That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations on other properties classified in the same zone district;
(2) That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
(3) That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
(a) The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical
difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title;
(b) There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the site of the variance
that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone district; and
(c) The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the applicant
of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone district.
The necessity of a stepped foundation created a major inequity in the treatment of sites in the vicinity. In the most
simplistic of terms, new homes are rarely, if ever, constructed with a stepped foundation today because the most recent
amendment to calculation of GRFA only allows for the basement deduction at the very lowest portion of the home. So
while these spaces that were converted on this home are completely underground, they cannot use the basement
deduction on these spaces. Because of the unique characteristics of the site and the existing stepped foundation, the
granting of the variance would not be a grant of special privilege.

These spaces have no impact on the bulk and mass of the home. If the Town denies this variance, the remedy is to fill
these areas to a head height of <5 ft - at considerable cost and hardship to the owner - and no exterior changes will
occur to the home. Such a move will have significant impacts to the function and flow of the home while the use of the
space has no impact to neighbors or the community at large. Because of this, the granting of this variance will have no
effect on properties or improvements in the vicinity. Additionally, the owner is willing to work with the Town to ensure
that these spaces are brought into compliance with current building codes, an improvement to the public health, safety,
and welfare. These inequities could also be resolved with a code amendment to create a GRFA definition that is more
equitable to all residential properties. The current GRFA regulations created unforeseen consequences and issues that
could be resolved with amendments to the methodology of the calculations.
We believe that our submittal materials have demonstrated that the variance is warranted. Enforcement of the regulation
of the calculation of GRFA, which would require that the owner fill in these areas is an unnecessary physical hardship. The
site is constrained by wetlands and a stream, which necessitated a stepped foundation - these conditions do not
generally apply to other properties in the vicinity. Furthermore, these conditions warrant a variance to create equity
amongst properties zoned P/S. These constraints deprived the applicant of the ability to maximize the basement
deduction. As witnessed in more recent home construction along Forest Road, Beaver Dam Road, and Rockledge Road -
basement GRFA deductions are maximized by scraping the site, creating significantly more site disturbance and
environmental impact.
We understand the difficulty and rarity of the granting of GRFA variances. However, this particular situation is unique to
this property and does not create a legal precedent. The owner respectfully and humbly requests a GRFA variance to
allow these spaces to remain. We appreciate your time and consideration on this matter. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Introduction
The applicant, AB Global Inc., represented by Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting a variance at 387 Beaver Dam
Circle / Lot 1A, Block 4, Vail Village Filing 3 to allow for a variance from Section 12-6D-6.B Gross Residential Floor Area.
This section provides the GRFA limitations in the Two-Family Primary/Secondary District (P/S).
The current owners recently purchased the property in July 2023. Unbeknownst to the buyers, the previous owner had
converted crawl spaces to GRFA without approvals from the Town of Vail. This information was not disclosed to the new
owners. The owners would like to resolve the issue - both for their current ownership of the home and so that these
issues do not arise for any future buyers. The applicant is trying to find a solution that will ultimately legalize the finished
spaces within the home that the current owner would like to utilize.
On the main level of the home, there are two spaces that were converted from mechanical crawlspace to GRFA, as shown
on the plan below. The first, shown in blue from the 2011 plans below, is almost entirely below grade but not on the
lowest level of the home to count as excluded basement area. It sits under the garage of the home and appears to have
been dug out by the previous owner so that the head height now exceeds 5 ft. It now qualifies as GRFA is approximately
354 sq. ft. Due to its underground location, there are no windows into the space and it is currently set up a storage.
The second space, shown in yellow on the 2011 plans above, is beneath the another garage area. This space is also
almost entirely below grade and was also shown as crawl space but not on the lowest level of the home to count as
excluded basement area. It was converted into GRFA and converted into a laundry area and pantry. It is 317 sq. ft. There
are no windows into the space.
6
The main level of the home included a conversion of mechanical and crawl space that was converted to a GRFA as storage room and laundry
and pantry area. These spaces are 662 sq. ft.
314
On the lowest level of the home, there is an additional area that was shown as crawl space. This area has not changed
much, but is now full head height and is used for storage. This space is entirely below grade and is 174 sq. ft. There are
no windows into the area. Because this area is on the lowest level of the home, and is below grade the entirety of the
space is deducted from GRFA.
Request: The owner is requesting a GRFA variance to allow these spaces to remain as livable areas. It equates to a
request of approximately 660 sq. ft. in excess of allowable GRFA for the property. The owner understands that this is a
difficult request to make of the Town, but is looking to find a reasonable solution for all parties involved and believe that
there is justification for a GRFA variance as discussed herein. If approved, the applicant understands that these spaces
will need to be updated to current building code requirements and will undergo the appropriate permitting process with
the Town to ensure that all life safety requirements are met.

The lowest level of the home includes a conversion of mechanical crawl space that was converted to a full head height storage room. This space
is 174 sq. ft. It is below grade and is therefore deducted from GRFA.

History and Background of the Property
The home at 387 Beaver Dam Circle was constructed in 1999, though the history of the property dates back to 1964. Lot
1, Block 4, Vail Village 3rd Filing was approved in 1964 under Eagle County jurisdiction. When Vail was incorporated in
1966, this neighborhood was part of the original Town of Vail. Originally zoned Residential, the lot, along with most of
the neighborhood, was rezoned Primary/Secondary Residential in 1977.
In the late 1990s, the Town approved a separation request for then-owner, W&B development, to allow for the primary
unit and secondary unit to be constructed as detached due to wetlands and a small stream running through the property.
The secondary unit included a Type 2 EHU. A duplex plat was recorded in 2002, with Lot 1A as the secondary unit and
Lot 1B as the primary unit. As required by the Town for all duplex plats, there is a restriction that the GRFA is calculated
on the combined area of the two parcels. At the time, the entirety of the property was maxed out on GRFA. The lot size is
indicated on the 2002 plat as 0.8671 acres which calculates to 37,770.876 sq. ft. Later in 2002, Lot 1A was sold to HIBOU
Colorado Properties LLC.
In 2004, the Town completed a major rewrite of the GRFA regulations. The changes had the effect of increasing
allowable GRFA for the entirety of Lot 1 from 6,488 sq. ft. to 8,916 sq. ft. The GRFA amendments are discussed in
additional detail in the following section of this submittal.
In November of 2011, Lot 1A was sold to HCH Organization LLC and a major remodel was completed on the secondary
unit. The owner of the secondary residence participated in the EHU exchange program and converted the EHU living
space into GRFA for the residence. The remodel and elimination of the EHU used 3,566 sq. ft. of GRFA. This 2011
remodel maxed out the GRFA allowed for the secondary unit.

Subject property:
Lot 1A

Lot 1B, the primary unit, underwent a major remodel in 2014 which utilized 5,354 sq. ft. of GRFA. With this remodel, the
entirety of the property (Lot 1) was maxed out on
GRFA at 8,919 sq. ft.
The GRFA calculation on the 2014 plans indicated
that the applicant rounded the lot area to 0.87 acres
which calculates to 37,897 sq. ft. While this
rounding of the lot area from the platted lot area is
relatively inconsequential, it is noted that it equates
to a difference of 126 sq. ft. of lot area. This
accounts for approximately 7.5 sq. ft. difference of
total allowable GRFA for Lot 1, which is reflected in
calculations being slightly different in this submittal
versus other calculations in the record.
In 2023, Lot 1A was sold to AB Global Inc., who
submitted a building permit to the Town of Vail for
interior renovations to the unit. Unbeknownst to the
current owners, the prior owner had converted areas
identified as “crawl space” on the 2011 plans into
GRFA. These spaces equate to an additional 662 sq. ft. of GRFA. The Town identified the issue during the review of the
building permit and informed the current owner that the GRFA issue needed to be resolved.
The owner is asking for a variance to allow Lot 1A to exceed allowable GRFA by a total of 662 sq. ft. It is the owner’s hope
that a resolution to legalize these spaces through the Town’s variance process will allow the owner to utilize these spaces
as planned for when they purchased the unit. The previous owner did not disclose that these areas were not legally
constructed through the Town’s design review process, nor did they have appropriate building permits and inspections.

Town’s GRFA Regulations
The allowances for gross residential floor area in the Town of Vail have always been difficult to implement. The original
GRFA allowance as established in Ordinance 30 of 1977 for the Primary Secondary (P/S) Zone District was as follows:
25% of the first 15,000 sq. ft. of lot area
10% of 15,000 sq. ft. to 30,000 sq. ft of lot area
5% of the site area in excess of 30,000 sq. ft. of lot area
The secondary unit was not to exceed 1/3 of the allowable GRFA
The calculation remained the same until 1981, when the code was amended by Ordinance 23 of 1981 to allow the
secondary unit to be a maximum of 40% of the allowable GRFA. Then, in 1985, the Town adopted the “250 Ordinance”
which allowed any 5 year old existing dwelling unit to add 250 sq. ft. In 1990, the Town undertook the first major
overhaul of GRFA in the Town of Vail. Along with modifying the definition of GRFA, the P/S zone district granted an
additional 425 sq. ft. per allowable dwelling unit, effectively increasing the allowable GRFA of P/S zoned properties by
850 sq. ft. The “250 Ordinance” was then amended in 1995 to eliminate the ability to use the 250 if it is a demo/rebuild,
to require review by the PEC, and to allow only units that were in existence prior to November 30, 1995 to use the 250.
It was common that throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the Town faced on-going issues with the enforcement of GRFA and
there was growing concern that owners were doing work without permits, compromising the safety of residents with
these illegal construction activities. In 1997, the Town added “Interior Conversions” to the GRFA Chapter, which allowed
any units in existence prior to 1997 to participate in an Interior Conversion. It was adopted in recognition that many
owners had converted non-habitable space into GRFA without appropriate permits. This section states:
§ 12-15-4 INTERIOR CONVERSIONS.
(A) Purpose. This section provides for flexibility and latitude with the use of interior spaces within existing
dwelling units that meet or exceed the allowable gross residential floor area (GRFA). This would be achieved by
allowing for the conversion of existing interior spaces such as vaulted spaces, crawl spaces and other interior
spaces into floor area, provided the bulk and mass of the building is not increased. This provision is intended to
accommodate existing homes where residents desire to expand the amount of usable space in the interior of a
home. The town has also recognized that property owners have constructed interior space without building permits.
This provision is also intended to reduce the occurrence of interior building activity without building permits and
thereby further protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
While other ordinances modified the GRFA section of the P/S zone district, the overall calculation remained the same
until the adoption Ordinance 14 of 2004. A group of owners and other interested parties submitted an application to the
Town of Vail in 2002 with a simple premise: “Eliminate GRFA and allow the other development regulations such as site
coverage and height to regulate bulk and mass, especially in the low density residential zone districts.” It was clear from
the staff memorandums from the time that because the Interior Conversion only applied to units constructed prior to
1997, staff was still continually dealing with enforcement issues relating to the illegal conversion of crawl or lofted spaces
to GRFA. The PEC memo from October 14, 2002, states:
Are there safety implications of GRFA?
There is a significant economic incentive to utilize every square foot in Vail’s real estate market. Illegal construction
to create new floor area happens frequently. Sometimes the Town is able to identify and stop this activity and some
times it does not. The result is often construction without a building permit. Therefore fire alarms, fire access, safe
construction are issues that may not be addressed… (pg. 9, Staff Memorandum to PEC dated October 14, 2002)
10
318
Notably, much of the research provided to staff in the early 2000s, included research that had been completed in the
mid-1990s which was based on a similar premise: GRFA is difficult to administer and has lead to construction completed
without building permits - compromising the safety of residents. From a review of the minutes of the PEC reviews during
the early 2000s, it was continually identified by PEC members that basements and crawl spaces were always the most
problematic aspect of GRFA regulations. The chairperson of the PEC stated:
…Below grade not being counted was a unanimous decision. He stressed simplicity and said that a restriction of
basements not exceeding the actual footprint of the structure might be implemented successfully. (PEC Minutes
from August 11, 2023)
Following years of discussions and hearings, Ordinance 14 of 2004 was approved by the Town Council, providing a
major overhaul of GRFA in the Town of Vail. GRFA calculations for the P/S zone district were amended as follows:
46% of the first 10,000 sq. ft. of lot area
38% of 10,000 sq. ft. to 15,000 sq. ft of lot area
13% of 15,,000 sq. ft. to 30,000 sq. ft of lot area
6% of the site area in excess of 30,000 sq. ft. of lot area
The secondary unit was not to exceed 40% of the allowable GRFA
With this amendment, the 425 sq. ft. credit per allowable unit was eliminated. Additionally, the allowance for “250
Additions” and “Interior Conversions” were eliminated for many zone districts, including P/S-zoned properties. The
concept was that GRFA was increased enough to capture these other allowances. We are not sure that was a successful
assumption.
While the methodology of measuring GRFA was also modified with Ordinance 14 of 2004, the biggest change was
allowing for basements to be deducted from the calculation. This was a major point of discussion during the
amendment process, as it was argued that basements areas should not be counted toward GRFA because they do not
have an impact on a structure’s bulk and mass. The language adopted in 2004 was as follows:
6. Basements: on the lowest level of a structure, the total percentage of exterior wall surfaces unexposed and below
existing or finished grade, whichever is more restrictive shall be the percentage of the horizontal area of the lowest
level deducted from the GRFA calculations. The percentage deduction calculations shall be rounded to the near
whole percent. The lowest level’s exterior wall surface area shall be measured from the finished floor elevation of
that level to the underside of the structural floor members of the floor/ceiling assembly above. For the purposes of
these calculations, retaining walls and site walls shall not be considered part of the lowest level’s exterior walls.
However, this language lacked clarity and by 2016, there was disagreement amongst applicants and staff on the
implementation of the basement deduction. Many believed that the initial discussion was that basement credit was
meant to apply to to any space that was generally below grade. This was especially important in that the Design
Guidelines encourage the stepping of foundations to create more environmentally sensitive designs on steep slopes.
Additionally, in the case of duplex units that were uphill/downhill units, staff had interpreted that only the unit at the
lowest grade got to take advantage of the basement credit. Unfortunately, even the graphics used at the time to discuss
basement levels assumed a simple rectangular floor plan - quite uncommon in construction of dwelling units in Vail - so
the record lacked some clarity on how the basement deduction was to be applied to multi-unit structures. In 2016, the
basement deduction was amended to read as follows:
6. Basements. On the lowest level of a structure, the total percentage of all exterior wall surfaces of the structure as
a whole (interior party walls are not considered exterior walls for the purposes of this section) that are unexposed
and below existing or finished grade, whichever is more restrictive, shall be the percentage of the horizontal area of
11
319
the lowest level deducted from the GRFA
calculations. The lowest level shall be the finished
floor level with the lowest USGS elevation,
including all floor levels within six vertical feet of
the lowest level. A multi-unit building shall be
considered one structure. The percentage
deduction calculations shall be rounded to nearest
whole percent. The lowest level exterior wall
surface area shall be measured from the finished
floor elevation of that level to the underside of the
structural floor members of the floor/ceiling
assembly above. For the purposes of these
calculations, retaining walls and site walls shall not
be considered part of the lowest level exterior
walls. The deduction shall be applied to all
horizontal areas on the lowest level of a structure,
including garages and employee housing units
also deducted from the calculation of GRFA
elsewhere in this title; but the deduction does not
apply to any crawl space or attic.
Unfortunately, this had the effect of eliminating any
benefit to doing a stepped foundation - now it explicitly
states that only the very lowest level of a structure gets
the deduction - so it is more common to see entire
building sites scraped to maximize the basement credit
and allowable GRFA. Additionally, the basement deduction language still fails to address one of the fundamental issues
with GRFA regulations in the Town of Vail: conversions of
existing crawl space to GRFA.
As discussed previously, this home was originally
constructed in 2002, and as such, was not eligible for either
a 250 addition nor an interior conversion due to the date
requirements for those processes. It also pre-dated the
adoption of the new GRFA allowances and calculation
methodologies. It was constructed at a time when the Town
strongly encouraged stepped foundations to minimize site
disturbance. Furthermore, this property was further
constrained by wetlands and a perennial stream that runs
between Lot 1A and Lot 1B. It was because of these impacts
that the home was granted a separation request by the
Design Review Board.
The siting of the home and the use of a stepped foundation
was recommended by the wetland report to reduce
construction disturbance around the house to a zone not to
exceed 5 ft. This construction method created crawl spaces
at multiple levels of the home, as shown in the plans from
the permit plans from 2002.
12
Graphic used by staff to illustrate basement deductions during the 2004
review process for the GRFA amendments.
320
It was recognized in the staff memorandum for the amendment that the methodology of only excluding the lowest level
would discourage the design of buildings with stepped foundations. The staff memo states:
By excluding the lowest level of a structure from the GRFA calculations, this amendment creates an incentive to
maximize the size of the lowest level (equivalent to the allowable site coverage). This also discourages the design
of buildings that “step-up” a site where the alignment of the building steps in response to the site topography. This
then encourages a greater amount of site excavation that results in more disturbance to existing soils and the more
destruction of existing vegetation.
When calculating GRFA, deductions such as those for crawlspaces and garages located on the lowest level of a
building will be applied first and then a basement deduction will be applied. This methodology continues to
encourage at the construction of crawlspaces designed to be illegal converted to GRFA at a future date. (pg. 9,
Staff Memorandum to Town Council, July 6, 2004)
Furthermore, the staff memo recognized that the methodology to deduct basements from GRFA could create justification
for variances from the GRFA regulations, stating:
This amendment may create justification for variances from the GRFA regulations. If below-grade spaces are
deducted from the GRFA calculations, the Town can anticipate receiving variance applications for lots where the
construction of a basement is not physically practical (i.e. the presence of bedrock, high water tables near creeks
and wetlands, excessively steep slopes, the presence of existing buildings and structures, etc.) (pg. 8-9, Staff
Memorandum to Town Council, July 6, 2004)

Criteria for Review: GRFA Variance
The criteria for review for a variance refers to the criteria provided in Section 12-17-6; Criteria and Necessary Findings.
The following section provides an analysis of the proposed variance under these criteria:
1.The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
Applicant Response: The Beaver Dam Road and Beaver Dam Circle neighborhood is zoned Primary/Secondary, with
generally all lots allowed two dwelling units. The property is adjacent to a Town of Vail-owned open space property
zoned Agricultural and Open Space. The proposed GRFA variance has no impact to properties in the vicinity. The
spaces in question have existed since the original construction of the home in 2002. While it is unknown exactly when
the illegal conversion to GRFA occurred, the bulk and mass of the structure did not change from its original construction.
Even the exterior remained exactly the same - no exterior windows, doors, etc. were added as part of the conversion.
Because of this, the proposed variance is consistent with the uses and structures, both existing and potential, in the
vicinity.
2.The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is
necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the
objectives of this title without grant of special privilege.
Applicant Response: The applicant acknowledges that GRFA variances are rare within the Town of Vail. However, this
property is unique. The site is constrained by a perennial steam and wetlands on the property. The impacts of these
15

were the basis for a separation request that was granted by the Design Review Board when the development of the site
was approved by the Town. The primary unit was constructed on the larger buildable area of the site, to the northeast of
the wetlands, while the secondary unit was constructed on the smaller portion of the site, to the southwest of the
wetlands. Because the secondary unit was more constrained by the wetlands, the construction of the home required
limited site disturbance to protect the wetland vegetation and perennial stream. The remaining buildable area then
necessitated the orientation of the home to run more perpendicular to the grades, rather than running parallel to the
grades. The wetland report recommended a stepped foundation with no site disturbance to occur within 5 ft. of the
foundation. This type of construction method inevitably led to crawl spaces at the lowest level of each step of the
foundation. These factors are unique to this site. Combine this with the fact that the existing structure was built just prior
to the 2004 GRFA amendments, which created deductions for basement areas on only the lowest level. Staff noted in the
adoption of these basement deductions this there would then be justifications for GRFA variance based on factors that
specifically apply to this lot: high water tables near creeks and wetlands and the presence of existing buildings and
structures.
This amendment may create justification for variances from the GRFA regulations. If below-grade spaces are
deducted from the GRFA calculations, the Town can anticipate receiving variance applications for lots where the
construction of a basement is not physically practical (i.e. the presence of bedrock, high water tables near creek
and wetlands, excessively steep slopes, the presence of existing buildings and structures, etc.) (pg. 8-9, Staff
Memorandum to Town Council, July 6, 2004)
If this home had been constructed after the 2004 GRFA amendments, it may have been constructed differently in such a
manner that would have more successfully maximized the basement deduction. However, that may not have been
possible due to the physical constraints of the lot. As identified by staff, the presence of the perennial stream and
wetlands could have been a viable justification for a variance. Similarly, the previous owner could have requested a
GRFA variance prior to the conversion of the crawl spaces into GRFA using the stream and wetlands, along with the
presence of the existing structure, which was also identified by staff as a justification for a GRFA variance. It is unfortunate
that it lands on this owner to correct the actions of the previous owner. Because there are unique physical characteristics
of this site and structure that do not allow the home to be constructed in a similar manner as other homes in the vicinity
which allow for a greater basement deduction, it is not a grant of special privilege to approve this GRFA variance.
Further, those building homes today are able to gain much more floor area by planning for the lowest level basement
deduction which is not afforded to this existing home, so this variance simply levels the playing field between older
established homes with stepped foundations and those with extensive lowest level basement spaces.
3.The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic
facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety.
Applicant Response: The bulk and mass of the existing structure remains exactly the same as was approved with the
2002 construction of the home and the 2011 remodel of the home. These spaces exist within the footprint of the home,
whether they are GRFA or back-filled to a 5 ft. head height. There are no impacts to distances between buildings, which
would affect light and air. The distribution of population is not affected by the variance request, and there are no impacts
to transportation facilities, public facilities and utilities. The variance request improves public safety and welfare - as these
spaces will now be brought to current Building Code requirements and inspected by Town of Vail officials. As a result,
the proposed variance complies with this criterion.
4.Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed variance.
Applicant Response: The applicant will address any additional comments at the Town Council hearing.
16
324
Necessary Findings: Variance
The necessary findings for a variance refers to the findings listed in Section 12-17-6; Criteria and Necessary Findings.
These findings are based off of a review of the criteria listed above. The following section provides an analysis of the
proposed variance based on the necessary findings:
1.That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations on other properties classified in the same zone district.
Applicant Response: As this finding is based on Criterion #2 in the previous section, please refer to the analysis above.
To summarize, the site is constrained by a perennial steam and wetlands on the property. The wetland report
recommended a stepped foundation with no site disturbance to occur within 5 ft. of the foundation. This type of
construction method inevitably led to crawl spaces at the lowest level of each step of the foundation. These factors are
unique to this site. Combine this with the fact that the existing structure was built just prior to the 2004 GRFA
amendments, which created deductions for basement areas on only the lowest level.
If this home had been constructed after the 2004 GRFA amendments, it may have been constructed in such a manner
that would have more successfully maximized the basement deduction. However, that may not have been possible due
to the physical constraints of the lot and a variance could have been requested so that the home could take advantage of
basement deductions like other homes in the vicinity have been able to. The presence of the perennial stream and
wetlands could have been a viable justification for a variance. Similarly, the previous owner could have requested a
GRFA variance prior to the conversion of the crawl spaces into GRFA using the stream and wetlands, along with the
presence of the existing structure, also an identified justification for a GRFA variance. Because there are unique physical
characteristics of this site and structure that do not allow the home to be constructed in a similar manner as other homes
in the vicinity which allow for a greater basement deduction, it is not a grant of special privilege to approve this GRFA
variance. Further, those building homes today are able to gain much more floor area by planning for the lowest level
basement deduction which is not afforded to this existing home, so this variance simply levels the playing field between
older established homes with stepped foundations and those with extensive lowest level basement spaces.
2.That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Applicant Response: Based on Criteria 1 and 3 above, the granting of this variance would not be detrimental to the
public health, safely or welfare.
3.That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
a.The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical
difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
b.There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the site of the variance
that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone district.
c.The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the
applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone district.
Applicant Response: The owner understands that this is a difficult request to make of the Town, but is looking to find a
reasonable solution for all parties involved and believe that there is justification for a GRFA variance. The options for the
current owner to rectify the situation created by the previous owner are not great for anyone involved:
17
325
1)Bring in enough fill to re-create the original crawl space height of 5 ft. The physical challenges of completing this
work are an unnecessary burden on the current homeowner, who was not responsible for the illegal construction
to begin with. This also means the current purchased floor area will now disappear, affecting the function of the
home. Also this is not practical because of the location of utilities and mechanical equipment at the rear of this
spaces that must remain accessible.
2)Remove GRFA in other locations of the home to accommodate the GRFA created by the crawl space conversion.
The removal of other spaces would eliminate more useable rooms within the home - bedrooms, living rooms, etc.
This would be difficult and impractical as those spaces are legal, permitted, and finished spaces that serve familial
functions within the home.
3)Demolish and rebuild a home that could maximize GRFA and the basement deduction more in line with
neighboring properties. While this is plausible, the current owners purchased this home with the intent of using
the home - not an expensive and challenging demo and new construction project. Additionally, the site
constraints on this property do not go away with a demo/rebuild. The site is constrained by the perennial stream
and wetlands and when the duplex plat established the property line between Lot 1A and Lot 1B, it generally
follows the stream and creates a compact buildable site area for Lot 1A.
These all result in an unnecessary physical hardship to the current owner, who did not cause the situation, and the
variance is therefore warranted.
The site has extraordinary circumstances that do not apply to other properties to all properties within the P/S zone district
- the perennial stream and associated wetlands on the site. These conditions created a limited buildable area for the
home, along with more robust construction requirements such as a stepped foundation with defined limits of
disturbance of only 5 ft. from the perimeter of the foundation to protect the wetland vegetation. These same site
constraints warranted the approval of a separation request from the Design Review Board. These can be as challenging,
if not more, to be granted as a variance. In fact, in granting a separation request, the DRB must make a determination
that the lot has significant site constraints, as outlined in the following code section:
§ 14-10-6 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
(A) The purpose of this section is to ensure that residential development be designed in a manner that creates an
architecturally integrated structure with unified site development. Dwelling units and garages shall be designed
within a single structure, except as set forth in subsection (B) of this section, with the use of unified architectural and
landscape design. A single structure shall have common roofs and building walls that create enclosed space
substantially above grade. Unified architectural and landscape design shall include, but not be limited to, the use of
compatible building materials, architectural style, scale, roof forms, massing, architectural details, site grading and
landscape materials and features.
(B) The presence of significant site constraints may permit the physical separation of units and garages on a
site. The determination of whether or not a lot has significant site constraints shall be made by the Design Review
Board. SIGNIFICANT SITE CONSTRAINTS shall be defined as natural features of a lot such as stands of mature
trees, natural drainages, stream courses and other natural water features, rock outcroppings, wetlands, other
natural features and existing structures that may create practical difficulties in the site planning and
development of a lot. Slope may be considered a physical site constraint that allows for the separation of a garage
from a unit. It shall be the applicant’s responsibility to request a determination from the Design Review Board as to
whether or not a site has significant site constraints before final design work on the project is presented. This
determination shall be made at a conceptual review of the proposal based on review of the site, a detailed survey
of the lot and a preliminary site plan of the proposed structure(s).

It is because of all these factors that the strict enforcement of the GRFA regulations would deprive the applicant of
privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone district. Because the existing structure was
completed just prior to the major overhaul of the GRFA regulations, it was unable to take advantage of the changes to
the basement deduction which more recently constructed homes are permitted to do. This, combined with the physical
site constraints, deprives the applicant of the privileges enjoyed by other P/S zoned properties.

Conclusion
The current owner was unfortunately placed into this situation by previous owners who illegally converted crawl spaces
into GRFA. This information was not disclosed to the new owners and was only discovered when they submitted permits
to the Town for a remodel and the areas were shown correctly and accurately on the plans. The owners would like to
resolve the issue - both for their current ownership of the home and so that these issues do not arise for any future
buyers.
The owner is requesting a GRFA variance to allow these spaces to remain. It equates to a request of approximately 660
sq. ft. in excess of allowable GRFA for the property. The owner understands that this is a difficult request to make of the
Town, but is looking to find a reasonable solution for all parties involved and believe that there is justification for a GRFA
variance. If approved, the applicant understands that these spaces will need to be updated to current building code
requirements and will undergo the appropriate permitting process with the Town to ensure that all life safety
requirements are met.
These spaces are almost entirely underground and have no impact on site coverage or building height as they are below
existing floor area or garages. No changes were made to the exterior of the home to accommodate these spaces. There
are no windows into the areas. They have no impact on adjacent properties.
There are identified site constraints on the property: a perennial stream and wetlands. These site constrains were found
to be significant enough to warrant the approval of a separation request for the home’s original construction in 2002.
These site constraints also dictated the construction methodology - a stepped foundation that created crawl spaces at
each step in the foundation. Because the basement deduction is only granted at the lowest level of the home, the
structure is limited to basement space to a greater degree than other properties zoned P/S in the vicinity. As identified
during the review process of the GRFA, all of this could justify a variance from the adopted GRFA regulations. The
applicant respectfully and humbly requests a GRFA variance to allow these spaces to remain. Thank you.

I. SUMMARY
The applicant, AB Global Inc, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, request a
review of a variance from Section 12-6D-8B, Gross Residential Floor Area, Vail Town
Code, pursuant to Title 12 Chapter 17, Variances, Vail Town Code to allow for an
increase in the allowable Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) within the Two-Family
Primary/Secondary Zone District located at 387 Beaver Dam Circle, Lot 1A, Block 4,
Vail Village 3rd Filing.
Based upon staff’s review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends denial of this application, subject to the findings in Section VIII of this
memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant, AB Global Inc, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, request a
review of a variance from Section 12-6D-8B, Gross Residential Floor Area, Vail Town
Code, pursuant to Title 12 Chapter 17, Variances, Vail Town Code to allow for an
increase in the allowable Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) within the Two-Family
Primary/Secondary Zone District for the property located at 387 Beaver Dam Circle, Lot
1A, Block 4, Vail Village 3rd Filing. The applicant is requesting a total of 661 square feet
(sf) in excess of the allowable GRFA for the property.

III. BACKGROUND
Lot 1, Block 4, Vail Village 3rd Filing was approved in 1964 under Eagle County
jurisdiction and was incorporated into the original Town of Vail in 1966. The property
was originally zoned Residential and later rezoned as Primary/Secondary Residential in
1977.
In the late 1990s, the Town approved a separation request for the primary unit and
secondary unit to be detached due to wetlands and a small stream that is located on the
property. A duplex plat was recorded in 2002 with Lot 1A (the property of focus for this
application) as the secondary unit and Lot 1B as the primary unit. The entire Lot 1 is
one development lot for zoning standards calculation purposes, including GRFA (see
yellow outline on map above). Of Lot 1, Lot 1A is 0.1857 acres and Lot 1B is 0.6814
acres for a total development lot size of 0.8671 acres (37,771sf). The homes on Lot 1A
and 1B were then constructed following this re-plat.
In July 2004, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance 14, Series of 2004 to amend
the GRFA regulations and calculations for the Hillside Residential, Single-Family
Residential, Two-Family Residential, Two-Family Primary/Secondary Residential,
Residential Cluster, Low-Density Multiple-Family, Medium Density Multiple Family,
High-Density Multiple-Family and Housing Districts. The basement deduction
331
Town of Vail Page 3
calculation was introduced, and new calculations based on site/lot area were
implemented. The result of this Ordinance increased the allowable GRFA for the
entirety of Lot 1 from 6,488sf to 8,916sf. The basement deduction was later modified in
subsequent Ordinances but is still a part of the GRFA calculation to date.
In November of 2011, Lot 1A was sold and a major remodel was completed on the
secondary unit. The owner of the secondary residence participated in the EHU
exchange program and converted the EHU living space into GRFA for the residence.
The remodel and elimination of the EHU used 3,566 sq. ft. of GRFA. This 2011 remodel
maxed out the GRFA allowed for the secondary unit.
Lot 1B, the primary unit, underwent a major remodel in 2014 which utilized 5,354 sq. ft.
of GRFA. This additional space exceeded their allowable 60% of the GRFA by 4sf. It is
not noted in the project files as to why Lot 1B was permitted to exceed their allowable
GRFA. In addition, with this remodel, the entirety of the development lot (Lot 1) was
maxed out on GRFA at 8,920sf (4sf over the total allowable GRFA).
In 2023, Lot 1A was sold to the applicant, AB Global Inc. Shortly thereafter, the
applicant applied for a building permit for interior renovations to the property. Town of
Vail staff identified a discrepancy in plans and square footage of the property. The areas
identified as crawl space had been converted into living space, equating to
approximately 661 sf of GRFA. These additional spaces were not reviewed by the Town
of Vail staff as part of any building permit and the applicant was informed that the GRFA
issue needed to be resolved prior to the issuance of a building permit. As a result, since
the GRFA is maxed out for the entire development lot, the applicant is asking for a
GRFA variance to allow for an additional 661sf of GRFA to account for the discrepancy.
These converted spaces are identified as follows:
• The former mechanical crawl space below the garage was converted to a wine
cellar (shown as blue on main level plan below). This space is located almost
entirely below grade but is not considered to be on the lowest level of the home,
and therefore cannot be counted as excluded basement area for GRFA
calculation purposes.
• The second space is beneath another garage area and was converted from a
mechanical crawl space to a butler’s pantry and laundry area (shown as yellow
on main level plan below). The space is also entirely below grade but not on the
lowest level of the house.
332
Town of Vail Page 4
• The final space is on the lowest level of the house and was originally noted as
crawl space (shown as blue on the lower level plan below). The height of the
space is now greater than 5’-0”. There are no windows but a new door from the
interior has been constructed. Previously, there was no access from the interior
of the home. Because this space is on the lowest level of the home and is below
grade, it can be partially deducted from the GRFA calculation.
333
Town of Vail Page 5
In summary, the applicant is requesting that the above-mentioned spaces remain as
livable areas and the GRFA is permitted to exceed the allowable.

square feet of site area in excess of thirty thousand (30,000) square feet.
2. The secondary unit shall not exceed forty percent (40%) of the allowable gross
residential floor area (GRFA).
Title 12 – Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA)
12-15-3: Definition, Calculation, and Exclusions:
A. Within the hillside residential (HR), single-family residential (SFR), two-family
residential (R), and two-family primary/secondary residential (PS) districts:
1. Gross Residential Floor Area Defined: For residential uses, the total square footage
of all horizontal areas on all levels of a structure, as measured to the outside face of
the sheathing of the exterior walls (i.e., not including exterior wall finishes). Floor
area shall include, but not be limited to, elevator shafts and stairwells at each level,
lofts, fireplaces, bay windows, mechanical spaces, vents and chases, storage areas,
and other similar areas. Garages; attics; vaulted or open to below spaces;
basements; crawl spaces; and roofed or covered decks, porches, terraces, or patios
shall be included as floor area; except the horizontal areas of a structure as set forth
herein shall then be deducted from the calculation of GRFA.
a. GRFA shall be calculated by measuring the total square footage of a building as set
forth in the definition above. Excluded areas as set forth herein, shall then each be
deducted from the total square footage.
(1) Enclosed Garage Area: Enclosed garage areas of up to three hundred (300) square
feet per vehicle space not exceeding a maximum of two (2) vehicle parking spaces
for each allowable dwelling unit permitted by this title.
Garage area deducted from floor area is awarded on a "per space basis" and shall
be contiguous to a vehicular parking space. Each vehicular parking space shall be
designed with direct and unobstructed vehicular access.
Alcoves, storage areas, and mechanical areas which are located in a garage and
which are twenty five percent (25%) or more open to the garage area may be
included in the garage area deduction.
Interior walls separating the garage from other areas of a structure may be included
in the garage area deduction.
(2) Attic Areas With A Ceiling Height Of Five Feet Or Less: Attic areas with a ceiling
height of five feet (5') or less, as measured from the topside of the structural
members of the floor to the underside of the structural members of the roof directly
above.
336
Town of Vail Page 8
(3) Attic Areas With Trusses: Attic areas created by construction of a roof with structural
truss type members, provided the trusses are spaced no greater than thirty inches
(30") apart.
(4) Attic Areas With Nontruss System: Attic areas created by construction of a roof
structure utilizing a nontruss system, with spaces greater than five feet (5') in height,
if all of the following criteria are met:
(A) The area cannot be accessed directly from a habitable area within the same building
level; and
(B) The area shall have only the minimum access required by the building code from the
level below; and
(C) The attic space shall not have a structural floor capable of supporting a "live load"
greater than forty (40) pounds per square foot, and the "floor" of the attic space shall
not be improved with decking; and
(D) It must be demonstrated by the architect that a "truss type" or similar structural
system cannot be utilized as defined in the definition of floor area; and
(E) It will be necessary that a structural element (i.e., collar tie) be utilized when rafters
are used for the roof system. In an unusual situation, such as when a bearing ridge
system is used, the staff will review the space for compliance with this policy.
(5) Crawl Spaces: Crawl spaces accessible through an opening not greater than twelve
(12) square feet in area, with five feet (5') or less of ceiling height, as measured from
the surface of the earth to the underside of structural floor members of the
floor/ceiling assembly above.
Crawl spaces created by a "stepped foundation", hazard mitigation, or other similar
engineering requirement that has a total height in excess of five feet (5') may be
excluded from GRFA calculations at the discretion of the Administrator.
(6) Basements. On the lowest level of a structure, the total percentage of all exterior
wall surfaces of the structure as a whole (interior party walls are not considered
exterior walls for the purposes of this section) that are unexposed and below existing
or finished grade, whichever is more restrictive, shall be the percentage of the
horizontal area of the lowest level deducted from the GRFA calculations. The lowest
level shall be the finished floor level with the lowest USGS elevation, including all
floor levels within six vertical feet of the lowest level. A multi-unit building shall be
considered one structure. The percentage deduction calculations shall be rounded to
nearest whole percent. The lowest level exterior wall surface area shall be measured
from the finished floor elevation of that level to the underside of the structural floor
members of the floor/ceiling assembly above. For the purposes of these
calculations, retaining walls and site walls shall not be considered part of the lowest
level exterior walls. The deduction shall be applied to all horizontal areas on the
lowest level of a structure, including garages and employee housing units also
deducted from the calculation of GRFA elsewhere in this title; but the deduction does
not apply to any crawl space or attic.

Title 12 –Variances, Vail Town Code
12-17-1: Purpose:
A. Reasons For Seeking Variance: In order to prevent or to lessen such practical
difficulties and unnecessary physical hardships inconsistent with the objectives of
this title as would result from strict or literal interpretation and enforcement,
variances from certain regulations may be granted. A practical difficulty or
unnecessary physical hardship may result from the size, shape, or dimensions of a
site or the location of existing structures thereon; from topographic or physical
conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity; or from other physical limitations,
street locations or conditions in the immediate vicinity. Cost or inconvenience to the
applicant of strict or literal compliance with a regulation shall not be a reason for
granting a variance.
B. Development Standards Excepted: Variances may be granted only with respect to
the development standards prescribed for each zone district, including lot area and
site dimensions, setbacks, distances between buildings, height, density control,
building bulk control, site coverage, usable open space, landscaping and site
development, and parking and loading requirements; or with respect to the
provisions of chapter 11 of this title, governing physical development on a site.
C. Use Regulations Not Affected: The power to grant variances does not extend to the
use regulations prescribed for each zone district because the flexibility necessary to
avoid results inconsistent with the objectives of this title is provided by chapter 16,
"Conditional Use Permits", and by section 12-3-7, “Amendment”, of this title.
12-17-5: PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION ACTION:
Within twenty (20) days of the closing of a public hearing on a variance application, the
planning and environmental commission shall act on the application. The commission
may approve the application as submitted or may approve the application subject to
such modifications or conditions as it deems necessary to accomplish the purposes of
this title, or the commission may deny the application. A variance may be revocable,
may be granted for a limited time period, or may be granted subject to such other
conditions as the commission may prescribe.
12-17-6: CRITERIA AND FINDINGS:
A. Factors Enumerated: Before acting on a variance application, the planning and
environmental commission shall consider the following factors with respect to the
requested variance:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and
structures in the vicinity.
338
Town of Vail Page 10
2. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of
a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of
treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of this title without
grant of special privilege.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population,
transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed
variance.
B. Necessary Findings: The planning and environmental commission shall make the
following findings before granting a variance:
1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the same zone
district.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
a. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation
would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent
with the objectives of this title.
b. There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to
the site of the variance that do not generally apply to other properties in the same
zone district.
c. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation
would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other
properties in the same zone district.

VII. REVIEW CRITERIA
The review criteria for a variance request are prescribed in Title 12, Chapter 17,
Variances, Vail Town Code.
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses
and structures in the vicinity.
With increased GRFA come increased site impacts. The purpose of limiting GRFA is
to control and limit the size, bulk, and mass of residential structures within the town.
However, the applicant argues that the bulk and mass of the structure did not
change with the conversion of the spaces and no exterior windows or doors were
added as a part of the conversion.
Staff finds that the calculation of gross residential floor area (GRFA) is an effective
tool for limiting the size of residential structures. While the unpermitted addition of
this area did not add bulk or mass, the overall limit and permitting process would
have required that square footage to be reduced elsewhere in the building, which
could have been from a portion of the house above grade where a noticeable
amount of bulk or mass would have been removed. Without such limitations, many
structures will have consequential impacts on the site and surrounding
neighborhood. The approval of this variance would allow the structure to attain a
size that would otherwise not be permitted in similar structures in the vicinity.
340
Town of Vail Page 12
The Code was designed to guide development in a way that maintains balance
within the town. Enforcing these rules is essential for preserving the town's
character, minimizing environmental and social impacts, and ensuring fairness for all
property owners.
Staff finds the proposed variance does not meet this criterion.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and
enforcement of a specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility
and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the
objectives of this title without grant of special privilege.
Relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the regulations on
GRFA is not necessary to achieve compatibility or uniformity of treatment among
sites in the vicinity. Allowing additional GRFA is not necessary to make the
applicants’ property more compatible or achieve uniformity of treatment among other
sites in the vicinity. This would be a grant of special privilege to permit GRFA above
and beyond the allowable set by the development lot size. There is nothing unique
with the property and Staff finds that there is no practical difficulty or unnecessary
physical hardship that is a result of the lot or the structure thereon that warrants a
variance.
Staff finds the proposed variance does not meet this criterion.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of
population, transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities,
and public safety.
The proposed variance allows the additional square footage in the building that
would otherwise have to be removed. The additional square footage could be
removed from upper floors that would improve the sun/shade on adjacent properties
to allow more light and air. Increased floor area translates to additional population
and use of transportation and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities. The
request is to exceed what these facilities have been designed to accommodate
based on the carrying capacity of the zoning put in place.
Staff finds the proposed variance does not meet this criterion.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the
proposed variance.
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
341
Town of Vail Page 13
recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission deny the applicant’s request
for a variance from Section 12-6D-8B, Gross Residential Floor Area, Vail Town Code,
pursuant to Title 12 Chapter 17, Variances, Vail Town Code to allow for an increase in
the allowable Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) within the Two-Family
Primary/Secondary Zone District located at 387 Beaver Dam Circle, Lot 1A, Block 4,
Vail Village 3rd Filing.
Denial Motion:
Should the Planning and Environmental Commission choose to deny this variance
request, the Community Development Department recommends the Commission pass
the following motion:
“The Planning and Environmental Commission denies the applicant’s request for a
variance from Section 12-6D-8B, Gross Residential Floor Area, Vail Town Code,
pursuant to Title 12 Chapter 17, Variances, Vail Town Code to allow for an increase in
the allowable Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) within the Two-Family
Primary/Secondary Zone District located at 387 Beaver Dam Circle, Lot 1A, Block 4,
Vail Village 3rd Filing., and setting forth details in regard thereto.

Community Development Department recommends the Commission make the following
findings:
“Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section VII of the staff
memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated January 13,
2025, and the evidence and testimony presented, the Planning and Environmental
Commission finds:
1. The granting of these variances will constitute a granting of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties classified in the Two-Family
Primary/Secondary Residential (PS) District.
2. That the granting of the variance will be detrimental to the public health, safety,
or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
3. The variance is not warranted for the following reasons:
a. The strict literal interpretation or enforcement of the specified regulation
will not result in practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship
inconsistent with the objectives of Title 12, Zoning Regulations, Vail Town
Code;

GRFA Variance
Baillères Residence:
387 Beaver Dam Circle
Submitted to the Town of Vail:
November 11, 2024

Introduction
The applicant, the Baillères Family, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, is requesting a variance at 387 Beaver Dam
Circle / Lot 1A, Block 4, Vail Village Filing 3 to allow for a variance from Section 12-6D-6.B Gross Residential Floor Area.
This section provides the GRFA limitations in the Two-Family Primary/Secondary District (P/S).
The current owners recently purchased the property in July 2023. Unbeknownst to the buyers, the previous owner had
converted crawl spaces to GRFA without approvals from the Town of Vail. This information was not disclosed to the new
owners and was only discovered when they submitted permits to the Town for a remodel and the areas were shown
correctly and accurately on the plans. The owners would like to resolve the issue - both for their current ownership of the
home and so that these issues do not arise for any future buyers. The applicant is trying to avoid a costly lawsuit with the
prior owners that will ultimately not resolve the issue of the existing finished spaces within the home that the current
owner would like to utilize.
On the main level of the home, there are two spaces that were converted from mechanical crawlspace to GRFA, as shown
on the plan below. The first, shown in blue from the 2011 plans below, is almost entirely below grade but not on the
lowest level of the home to count as excluded basement area. It sits under the garage of the home and appears to have
been dug out by the previous owner so that the head height now exceeds 5 ft. It now qualifies as GRFA is approximately
354 sq. ft. Due to its underground location, there are no windows into the space and it is currently set up as a wine cellar.
The second space, shown in yellow on the 2011 plans above, is beneath the another garage area. This space is also
almost entirely below grade and was also shown as crawl space but not on the lowest level of the home to count as
excluded basement area. It was converted into GRFA and converted into a laundry area and butler’s pantry. It is 317 sq.
ft. There are no windows into the space.
2
The main level of the home included a conversion of mechanical and crawl space that was converted to a GRFA as a wine storage room and
butlers’s kitchen. This spaces are 662 sq. ft.
345
On the lowest level of the home, there is an additional area that was shown as crawl space. This area has not changed
much, but is now full head height. It is not accessible from the interior of the home and is used for storage. This space is
entirely below grade and is 174 sq. ft. There are no windows into the area. Because this area is on the lowest level of the
home, and is below grade the entirety of the space is deducted from GRFA.
Request: The owner is requesting a GRFA variance to allow these spaces to remain as livable areas. It equates to a
request of approximately 660 sq. ft. in excess of allowable GRFA for the property. The owner understands that this is a
difficult request to make of the Town, but is looking to find a reasonable solution for all parties involved and believe that
there is justification for a GRFA variance as discussed herein. If approved, the applicant understands that these spaces
will need to be updated to current building code requirements and will undergo the appropriate permitting process with
the Town to ensure that all life safety requirements are met.

The lowest level of the home includes a conversion of mechanical crawl space that was converted to a full head height storage room. This space
is 174 sq. ft. It is below grade and is therefore deducted from GRFA.

History and Background of the Property
The home at 387 Beaver Dam Circle was constructed in 1999, though the history of the property dates back to 1964. Lot
1, Block 4, Vail Village 3rd Filing was approved in 1964 under Eagle County jurisdiction. When Vail was incorporated in
1966, this neighborhood was part of the original Town of Vail. Originally zoned Residential, the lot, along with most of
the neighborhood, was rezoned Primary/Secondary Residential in 1977.
In the late 1990s, the Town approved a separation request for then-owner, W&B development, to allow for the primary
unit and secondary unit to be constructed as detached due to wetlands and a small stream running through the property.
The secondary unit included a Type 2 EHU. A duplex plat was recorded in 2002, with Lot 1A as the secondary unit and
Lot 1B as the primary unit. As required by the Town for all duplex plats, there is a restriction that the GRFA is calculated
on the combined area of the two parcels. At the time, the entirety of the property was maxed out on GRFA. The lot size is
indicated on the 2002 plat as 0.8671 acres which calculates to 37,770.876 sq. ft. Later in 2002, Lot 1A was sold to HIBOU
Colorado Properties LLC.
In 2004, the Town completed a major rewrite of the GRFA regulations. The changes had the effect of increasing
allowable GRFA for the entirety of Lot 1 from 6,488 sq. ft. to 8,916 sq. ft. The GRFA amendments are discussed in
additional detail in the following section of this submittal.
In November of 2011, Lot 1A was sold to HCH Organization LLC and a major remodel was completed on the secondary
unit. The owner of the secondary residence participated in the EHU exchange program and converted the EHU living
space into GRFA for the residence. The remodel and elimination of the EHU used 3,566 sq. ft. of GRFA. This 2011
remodel maxed out the GRFA allowed for the secondary unit.

Lot 1B, the primary unit, underwent a major remodel in 2014 which utilized 5,354 sq. ft. of GRFA. With this remodel, the
entirety of the property (Lot 1) was maxed out on
GRFA at 8,919 sq. ft.
The GRFA calculation on the 2014 plans indicated
that the applicant rounded the lot area to 0.87 acres
which calculates to 37,897 sq. ft. While this
rounding of the lot area from the platted lot area is
relatively inconsequential, it is noted that it equates
to a difference of 126 sq. ft. of lot area. This
accounts for approximately 7.5 sq. ft. difference of
total allowable GRFA for Lot 1, which is reflected in
calculations being slightly different in this submittal
versus other calculations in the record.
In 2023, Lot 1A was sold to AB Global Inc. (the
Baillères Family), who submitted a building permit to
the Town of Vail for interior renovations to the unit.
Unbeknownst to the current owners, the prior owner
had converted areas identified as “crawl space” on
the 2011 plans into GRFA. These spaces equate to an additional 662 sq. ft. of GRFA. The Town identified the issue
during the review of the building permit and informed the current owner that the GRFA issue needed to be resolved.
The owner is asking for a variance to allow Lot 1A to exceed allowable GRFA by a total of 662 sq. ft. It is the owner’s hope
that a resolution to this issue through the Town’s variance process will prevent the need for a lawsuit against the previous
owner for not disclosing that these areas were not legally constructed through the Town’s design review process, nor did
they have appropriate building permits and inspections.

Town’s GRFA Regulations
The allowances for gross residential floor area in the Town of Vail have always been difficult to implement. The original
GRFA allowance as established in Ordinance 30 of 1977 for the Primary Secondary (P/S) Zone District was as follows:
25% of the first 15,000 sq. ft. of lot area
10% of 15,000 sq. ft. to 30,000 sq. ft of lot area
5% of the site area in excess of 30,000 sq. ft. of lot area
The secondary unit was not to exceed 1/3 of the allowable GRFA
The calculation remained the same until 1981, when the code was amended by Ordinance 23 of 1981 to allow the
secondary unit to be a maximum of 40% of the allowable GRFA. Then, in 1985, the Town adopted the “250 Ordinance”
which allowed any 5 year old existing dwelling unit to add 250 sq. ft. In 1990, the Town undertook the first major
overhaul of GRFA in the Town of Vail. Along with modifying the definition of GRFA, the P/S zone district granted an
additional 425 sq. ft. per allowable dwelling unit, effectively increasing the allowable GRFA of P/S zoned properties by
850 sq. ft. The “250 Ordinance” was then amended in 1995 to eliminate the ability to use the 250 if it is a demo/rebuild,
to require review by the PEC, and to allow only units that were in existence prior to November 30, 1995 to use the 250.
It was common that throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the Town faced on-going issues with the enforcement of GRFA and
there was growing concern that owners were doing work without permits, compromising the safety of residents with
these illegal construction activities. In 1997, the Town added “Interior Conversions” to the GRFA Chapter, which allowed
any units in existence prior to 1997 to participate in an Interior Conversion. It was adopted in recognition that many
owners had converted non-habitable space into GRFA without appropriate permits. This section states:
§ 12-15-4 INTERIOR CONVERSIONS.
(A) Purpose. This section provides for flexibility and latitude with the use of interior spaces within existing
dwelling units that meet or exceed the allowable gross residential floor area (GRFA). This would be achieved by
allowing for the conversion of existing interior spaces such as vaulted spaces, crawl spaces and other interior
spaces into floor area, provided the bulk and mass of the building is not increased. This provision is intended to
accommodate existing homes where residents desire to expand the amount of usable space in the interior of a
home. The town has also recognized that property owners have constructed interior space without building permits.
This provision is also intended to reduce the occurrence of interior building activity without building permits and
thereby further protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
While other ordinances modified the GRFA section of the P/S zone district, the overall calculation remained the same
until the adoption Ordinance 14 of 2004. A group of owners and other interested parties submitted an application to the
Town of Vail in 2002 with a simple premise: “Eliminate GRFA and allow the other development regulations such as site
coverage and height to regulate bulk and mass, especially in the low density residential zone districts.” It was clear from
the staff memorandums from the time that because the Interior Conversion only applied to units constructed prior to
1997, staff was still continually dealing with enforcement issues relating to the illegal conversion of crawl or lofted spaces
to GRFA. The PEC memo from October 14, 2002, states:
Are there safety implications of GRFA?
There is a significant economic incentive to utilize every square foot in Vail’s real estate market. Illegal construction
to create new floor area happens frequently. Sometimes the Town is able to identify and stop this activity and some
times it does not. The result is often construction without a building permit. Therefore fire alarms, fire access, safe
construction are issues that may not be addressed… (pg. 9, Staff Memorandum to PEC dated October 14, 2002)

349
Notably, much of the research provided to staff in the early 2000s, included research that had been completed in the
mid-1990s which was based on a similar premise: GRFA is difficult to administer and has lead to construction completed
without building permits - compromising the safety of residents. From a review of the minutes of the PEC reviews during
the early 2000s, it was continually identified by PEC members that basements and crawl spaces were always the most
problematic aspect of GRFA regulations. The chairperson of the PEC stated:
…Below grade not being counted was a unanimous decision. He stressed simplicity and said that a restriction of
basements not exceeding the actual footprint of the structure might be implemented successfully. (PEC Minutes
from August 11, 2023)
Following years of discussions and hearings, Ordinance 14 of 2004 was approved by the Town Council, providing a
major overhaul of GRFA in the Town of Vail. GRFA calculations for the P/S zone district were amended as follows:
46% of the first 10,000 sq. ft. of lot area
38% of 10,000 sq. ft. to 15,000 sq. ft of lot area
13% of 15,,000 sq. ft. to 30,000 sq. ft of lot area
6% of the site area in excess of 30,000 sq. ft. of lot area
The secondary unit was not to exceed 40% of the allowable GRFA
With this amendment, the 425 sq. ft. credit per allowable unit was eliminated. Additionally, the allowance for “250
Additions” and “Interior Conversions” were eliminated for many zone districts, including P/S-zoned properties. The
concept was that GRFA was increased enough to capture these other allowances. We are not sure that was a successful
assumption.
While the methodology of measuring GRFA was also modified with Ordinance 14 of 2004, the biggest change was
allowing for basements to be deducted from the calculation. This was a major point of discussion during the
amendment process, as it was argued that basements areas should not be counted toward GRFA because they do not
have an impact on a structure’s bulk and mass. The language adopted in 2004 was as follows:
6. Basements: on the lowest level of a structure, the total percentage of exterior wall surfaces unexposed and below
existing or finished grade, whichever is more restrictive shall be the percentage of the horizontal area of the lowest
level deducted from the GRFA calculations. The percentage deduction calculations shall be rounded to the near
whole percent. The lowest level’s exterior wall surface area shall be measured from the finished floor elevation of
that level to the underside of the structural floor members of the floor/ceiling assembly above. For the purposes of
these calculations, retaining walls and site walls shall not be considered part of the lowest level’s exterior walls.
However, this language lacked clarity and by 2016, there was disagreement amongst applicants and staff on the
implementation of the basement deduction. Many believed that the initial discussion was that basement credit was
meant to apply to to any space that was generally below grade. This was especially important in that the Design
Guidelines encourage the stepping of foundations to create more environmentally sensitive designs on steep slopes.
Additionally, in the case of duplex units that were uphill/downhill units, staff had interpreted that only the unit at the
lowest grade got to take advantage of the basement credit. Unfortunately, even the graphics used at the time to discuss
basement levels assumed a simple rectangular floor plan - quite uncommon in construction of dwelling units in Vail - so
the record lacked some clarity on how the basement deduction was to be applied to multi-unit structures. In 2016, the
basement deduction was amended to read as follows:
6. Basements. On the lowest level of a structure, the total percentage of all exterior wall surfaces of the structure as
a whole (interior party walls are not considered exterior walls for the purposes of this section) that are unexposed
and below existing or finished grade, whichever is more restrictive, shall be the percentage of the horizontal area of
7
350
the lowest level deducted from the GRFA
calculations. The lowest level shall be the finished
floor level with the lowest USGS elevation,
including all floor levels within six vertical feet of
the lowest level. A multi-unit building shall be
considered one structure. The percentage
deduction calculations shall be rounded to nearest
whole percent. The lowest level exterior wall
surface area shall be measured from the finished
floor elevation of that level to the underside of the
structural floor members of the floor/ceiling
assembly above. For the purposes of these
calculations, retaining walls and site walls shall not
be considered part of the lowest level exterior
walls. The deduction shall be applied to all
horizontal areas on the lowest level of a structure,
including garages and employee housing units
also deducted from the calculation of GRFA
elsewhere in this title; but the deduction does not
apply to any crawl space or attic.
Unfortunately, this had the effect of eliminating any
benefit to doing a stepped foundation - now it explicitly
states that only the very lowest level of a structure gets
the deduction - so it is more common to see entire
building sites scraped to maximize the basement credit
and allowable GRFA. Additionally, the basement deduction language still fails to address one of the fundamental issues
with GRFA regulations in the Town of Vail: conversions of
existing crawl space to GRFA.
As discussed previously, this home was originally
constructed in 2002, and as such, was not eligible for either
a 250 addition nor an interior conversion due to the date
requirements for those processes. It also pre-dated the
adoption of the new GRFA allowances and calculation
methodologies. It was constructed at a time when the Town
strongly encouraged stepped foundations to minimize site
disturbance. Furthermore, this property was further
constrained by wetlands and a perennial stream that runs
between Lot 1A and Lot 1B. It was because of these impacts
that the home was granted a separation request by the
Design Review Board.
The siting of the home and the use of a stepped foundation
was recommended by the wetland report to reduce
construction disturbance around the house to a zone not to
exceed 5 ft. This construction method created crawl spaces
at multiple levels of the home, as shown in the plans from
the permit plans from 2002.

review process for the GRFA amendments.
351
It was recognized in the staff memorandum for the amendment that the methodology of only excluding the lowest level
would discourage the design of buildings with stepped foundations. The staff memo states:
By excluding the lowest level of a structure from the GRFA calculations, this amendment creates an incentive to
maximize the size of the lowest level (equivalent to the allowable site coverage). This also discourages the design
of buildings that “step-up” a site where the alignment of the building steps in response to the site topography. This
then encourages a greater amount of site excavation that results in more disturbance to existing soils and the more
destruction of existing vegetation.
When calculating GRFA, deductions such as those for crawlspaces and garages located on the lowest level of a
building will be applied first and then a basement deduction will be applied. This methodology continues to
encourage at the construction of crawlspaces designed to be illegal converted to GRFA at a future date. (pg. 9,
Staff Memorandum to Town Council, July 6, 2004)
Furthermore, the staff memo recognized that the methodology to deduct basements from GRFA could create justification
for variances from the GRFA regulations, stating:
This amendment may create justification for variances from the GRFA regulations. If below-grade spaces are
deducted from the GRFA calculations, the Town can anticipate receiving variance applications for lots where the
construction of a basement is not physically practical (i.e. the presence of bedrock, high water tables near creeks
and wetlands, excessively steep slopes, the presence of existing buildings and structures, etc.) (pg. 8-9, Staff
Memorandum to Town Council, July 6, 2004)

Criteria for Review: GRFA Variance
The criteria for review for a variance refers to the criteria provided in Section 12-17-6; Criteria and Necessary Findings.
The following section provides an analysis of the proposed variance under these criteria:
1. The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures in the vicinity.
Applicant Response: The Beaver Dam Road and Beaver Dam Circle neighborhood is zoned Primary/Secondary, with
generally all lots allowed two dwelling units. The property is adjacent to a Town of Vail-owned open space property
zoned Agricultural and Open Space. The proposed GRFA variance has no impact to properties in the vicinity. The
spaces in question have existed since the original construction of the home in 2002. While it is unknown exactly when
the illegal conversion to GRFA occurred, the bulk and mass of the structure did not change from its original construction.
Even the exterior remained exactly the same - no exterior windows, doors, etc. were added as part of the conversion.
Because of this, the proposed variance is consistent with the uses and structures, both existing and potential, in the
vicinity.
2. The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a specified regulation is
necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among sites in the vicinity, or to attain the
objectives of this title without grant of special privilege.
Applicant Response: The applicant acknowledges that GRFA variances are rare within the Town of Vail. However, this
property is unique. The site is constrained by a perennial steam and wetlands on the property. The impacts of these
11

were the basis for a separation request that was granted by the Design Review Board when the development of the site
was approved by the Town. The primary unit was constructed on the larger buildable area of the site, to the northeast of
the wetlands, while the secondary unit was constructed on the smaller portion of the site, to the southwest of the
wetlands. Because the secondary unit was more constrained by the wetlands, the construction of the home required
limited site disturbance to protect the wetland vegetation and perennial stream. The remaining buildable area then
necessitated the orientation of the home to run more perpendicular to the grades, rather than running parallel to the
grades. The wetland report recommended a stepped foundation with no site disturbance to occur within 5 ft. of the
foundation. This type of construction method inevitably led to crawl spaces at the lowest level of each step of the
foundation. These factors are unique to this site. Combine this with the fact that the existing structure was built just prior
to the 2004 GRFA amendments, which created deductions for basement areas on only the lowest level. Staff noted in the
adoption of these basement deductions this there would then be justifications for GRFA variance based on factors that
specifically apply to this lot: high water tables near creeks and wetlands and the presence of existing buildings and
structures.
This amendment may create justification for variances from the GRFA regulations. If below-grade spaces are
deducted from the GRFA calculations, the Town can anticipate receiving variance applications for lots where the
construction of a basement is not physically practical (i.e. the presence of bedrock, high water tables near creek
and wetlands, excessively steep slopes, the presence of existing buildings and structures, etc.) (pg. 8-9, Staff
Memorandum to Town Council, July 6, 2004)
If this home had been constructed after the 2004 GRFA amendments, it may have been constructed differently in such a
manner that would have more successfully maximized the basement deduction. However, that may not have been
possible due to the physical constraints of the lot. As identified by staff, the presence of the perennial stream and
wetlands could have been a viable justification for a variance. Similarly, the previous owner could have requested a
GRFA variance prior to the conversion of the crawl spaces into GRFA using the stream and wetlands, along with the
presence of the existing structure, which was also identified by staff as a justification for a GRFA variance. It is unfortunate
that it lands on this owner to correct the actions of the previous owner. Because there are unique physical characteristics
of this site and structure that do not allow the home to be constructed in a similar manner as other homes in the vicinity
which allow for a greater basement deduction, it is not a grant of special privilege to approve this GRFA variance.
Further, those building homes today are able to gain much more floor area by planning for the lowest level basement
deduction which is not afforded to this existing home, so this variance simply levels the playing field between older
established homes with stepped foundations and those with extensive lowest level basement spaces.
3. The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation and traffic
facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety.
Applicant Response: The bulk and mass of the existing structure remains exactly the same as was approved with the
2002 construction of the home and the 2011 remodel of the home. These spaces exist within the footprint of the home,
whether they are GRFA or back-filled to a 5 ft. head height. There are no impacts to distances between buildings, which
would effect light and air. The distribution of population is not effected by the variance request, and there are no impacts
to transportation facilities, public facilities and utilities. The variance request improves public safety and welfare - as these
spaces will now be brought to current Building Code requirements and inspected by Town of Vail officials. As a result,
the proposed variance complies with this criterion.
4. Such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable to the proposed variance.
Applicant Response: The applicant will address any additional comments at the Planning and Environmental
Commission hearing.
12
355
Necessary Findings: Variance
The necessary findings for a variance refers to the findings listed in Section 12-17-6; Criteria and Necessary Findings.
These findings are based off of a review of the criteria listed above. The following section provides an analysis of the
proposed variance based on the necessary findings:
1. That the granting of the variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the
limitations on other properties classified in the same zone district.
Applicant Response: As this finding is based on Criterion #2 in the previous section, please refer to the analysis above.
To summarize, the site is constrained by a perennial steam and wetlands on the property. The wetland report
recommended a stepped foundation with no site disturbance to occur within 5 ft. of the foundation. This type of
construction method inevitably led to crawl spaces at the lowest level of each step of the foundation. These factors are
unique to this site. Combine this with the fact that the existing structure was built just prior to the 2004 GRFA
amendments, which created deductions for basement areas on only the lowest level.
If this home had been constructed after the 2004 GRFA amendments, it may have been constructed in such a manner
that would have more successfully maximized the basement deduction. However, that may not have been possible due
to the physical constraints of the lot and a variance could have been requested so that the home could take advantage of
basement deductions like other homes in the vicinity have been able to. The presence of the perennial stream and
wetlands could have been a viable justification for a variance. Similarly, the previous owner could have requested a
GRFA variance prior to the conversion of the crawl spaces into GRFA using the stream and wetlands, along with the
presence of the existing structure, also an identified justification for a GRFA variance. Because there are unique physical
characteristics of this site and structure that do not allow the home to be constructed in a similar manner as other homes
in the vicinity which allow for a greater basement deduction, it is not a grant of special privilege to approve this GRFA
variance. Further, those building homes today are able to gain much more floor area by planning for the lowest level
basement deduction which is not afforded to this existing home, so this variance simply levels the playing field between
older established homes with stepped foundations and those with extensive lowest level basement spaces.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Applicant Response: Based on Criteria 1 and 3 above, the granting of this variance would not be detrimental to the
public health, safely or welfare.
3. That the variance is warranted for one or more of the following reasons:
a. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would result in practical
difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship inconsistent with the objectives of this title.
b.There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the site of the variance
that do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone district.
c. The strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specified regulation would deprive the
applicant of privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone district.
Applicant Response: The owner understands that this is a difficult request to make of the Town, but is looking to find a
reasonable solution for all parties involved and believe that there is justification for a GRFA variance. The options for the
current owner to rectify the situation created by the previous owner are not great for anyone involved:
13
356
1) Bring in enough fill to re-create the original crawl space height of 5 ft. The physical challenges of completing this
work are an unnecessary burden on the current homeowner, who was not responsible for the illegal construction
to begin with. This also means the current purchased floor area will now disappear, affecting the function of the
home. Also this is not practical because of the location of utilities and mechanical equipment at the rear of this
spaces that must remain accessible.
2) Remove GRFA in other locations of the home to accommodate the GRFA created by the crawl space conversion.
The removal of other spaces would eliminate more useable rooms within the home - bedrooms, living rooms, etc.
This would be difficult and impractical as those spaces are legal, permitted, and finished spaces that serve familial
functions within the home.
3) Demolish and rebuild a home that could maximize GRFA and the basement deduction more in line with
neighboring properties. While this is plausible, the current owners purchased this home with the intent of using
the home - not an expensive and challenging demo and new construction project. Additionally, the site
constraints on this property do not go away with a demo/rebuild. The site is constrained by the perennial stream
and wetlands and when the duplex plat established the property line between Lot 1A and Lot 1B, it generally
follows the stream and creates a compact buildable site area for Lot 1A.
4) Sue the previous owner. The current owner is pursuing all options before suing the previous owner for failing to
disclose that these areas were not legally converted from crawl space to GRFA. Because the likely resolution is
monetary restitution, the physical spaces will still need to be dealt with in a satisfactory way with the Town of Vail.
The owner is significantly affected while it will have no impact on the surrounding community.
These all result in an unnecessary physical hardship to the current owner, who did not cause the situation, and the
variance is therefore warranted.
The site has extraordinary circumstances that do not apply to other properties to all properties within the P/S zone district
- the perennial stream and associated wetlands on the site. These conditions created a limited buildable area for the
home, along with more robust construction requirements such as a stepped foundation with defined limits of
disturbance of only 5 ft. from the perimeter of the foundation to protect the wetland vegetation. These same site
constraints warranted the approval of a separation request from the Design Review Board. These can be as challenging,
if not more, to be granted as a variance. In fact, in granting a separation request, the DRB must make a determination
that the lot has significant site constraints, as outlined in the following code section:
§ 14-10-6 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT.
(A) The purpose of this section is to ensure that residential development be designed in a manner that creates an
architecturally integrated structure with unified site development. Dwelling units and garages shall be designed
within a single structure, except as set forth in subsection (B) of this section, with the use of unified architectural and
landscape design. A single structure shall have common roofs and building walls that create enclosed space
substantially above grade. Unified architectural and landscape design shall include, but not be limited to, the use of
compatible building materials, architectural style, scale, roof forms, massing, architectural details, site grading and
landscape materials and features.
(B) The presence of significant site constraints may permit the physical separation of units and garages on a
site. The determination of whether or not a lot has significant site constraints shall be made by the Design Review
Board. SIGNIFICANT SITE CONSTRAINTS shall be defined as natural features of a lot such as stands of mature
trees, natural drainages, stream courses and other natural water features, rock outcroppings, wetlands, other
natural features and existing structures that may create practical difficulties in the site planning and
development of a lot. Slope may be considered a physical site constraint that allows for the separation of a garage
14
357
from a unit. It shall be the applicant’s responsibility to request a determination from the Design Review Board as to
whether or not a site has significant site constraints before final design work on the project is presented. This
determination shall be made at a conceptual review of the proposal based on review of the site, a detailed survey
of the lot and a preliminary site plan of the proposed structure(s).
It is because of all these factors that the strict enforcement of the GRFA regulations would deprive the applicant of
privileges enjoyed by the owners of other properties in the same zone district. Because the existing structure was
completed just prior to the major overhaul of the GRFA regulations, it was unable to take advantage of the changes to
the basement deduction which more recently constructed homes are permitted to do. This, combined with the physical
site constraints, deprives the applicant of the privileges enjoyed by other P/S zoned properties.

Conclusion
The current owner was unfortunately placed into this situation by previous owners who illegally converted crawl spaces
into GRFA. This information was not disclosed to the new owners and was only discovered when they submitted permits
to the Town for a remodel and the areas were shown correctly and accurately on the plans. The owners would like to
resolve the issue - both for their current ownership of the home and so that these issues do not arise for any future
buyers.
The owner is requesting a GRFA variance to allow these spaces to remain. It equates to a request of approximately 660
sq. ft. in excess of allowable GRFA for the property. The owner understands that this is a difficult request to make of the
Town, but is looking to find a reasonable solution for all parties involved and believe that there is justification for a GRFA
variance. If approved, the applicant understands that these spaces will need to be updated to current building code
requirements and will undergo the appropriate permitting process with the Town to ensure that all life safety
requirements are met.
These spaces are almost entirely underground and have no impact on site coverage or building height as they are below
existing floor area or garages. No changes were made to the exterior of the home to accommodate these spaces. There
are no windows into the areas. They have no impact on adjacent properties.
There are identified site constraints on the property: a perennial stream and wetlands. These site constrains were found
to be significant enough to warrant the approval of a separation request for the home’s original construction in 2002.
These site constraints also dictated the construction methodology - a stepped foundation that created crawl spaces at
each step in the foundation. Because the basement deduction is only granted at the lowest level of the home, the
structure is limited to basement space to a greater degree than other properties zoned P/S in the vicinity. As identified
during the review process of the GRFA, all of this could justify a variance from the adopted GRFA regulations. The
applicant respectfully and humbly requests a GRFA variance to allow these spaces to remain. Thank you.

Planner: Jamie Leaman-Miller
Applicant Name: Vail Valley Foundation represented by Zehren and Associates
3.1
A request for review of a variance from Section 14-10-9 Fences, Hedges, Walls and
Screening, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Title 12 Chapter 17, Variances, Vail Town Code to
allow for a fence to exceed six feet in height, located at 540 S Frontage Road E, Unplatted -
Ford Park Amphitheater (PEC24-0051)
01:09 into meeting:
Planner Leaman-Miller gives a presentation on the application. Goes over the requested variance.
Shows pictures from around the proposed fence location. No trees are proposed to be removed as a
result of the proposed work. Amphitheater management and Vail Police Department have security
concerns from the existing 6’ fence, which is why the variance is requested to go up to 8’ in height. Staff
is recommending approval of the application.
No questions for staff.
Pedro Campos from Zehren & Associates is representing the Vail Valley Foundation. Fence would be
changing to a steel fence that would be more durable. Goes over the process of getting to this design
and how it will be similar to the Dillon Amphitheater.
Rediker asks about the construction of the fence.

Campos goes over the 8’ interval between foundational pieces to secure rest of the fence. It will go in the
same place as existing, but tighter intervals. Posts will be hand dug and will need to go six inches below
frost line.
Hagedorn asks about the height, the top pieces and if they will be spikes that could endanger wildlife.
Campos says they aren’t spikes. They are trying to avoid the flat top as that makes it easier to scale.
They want to have the pickets above the top rail, but they will not be sharp. Smith asks about the spikes;
she has the same concerns as Hagedorn regarding something or someone being impaled.
Hagedorn asks about the height of the pickets.
Campos says they are 2” above the top rail.
Lipnick asks how they came to the decision of six feet compared to eight feet and why.
Campos states that it was a recommendation of the VPD to go up to that height. That is what they
suggested.
Smith does not support the height with the pickets above the rail. Does not feel safe.
Campos notes that concern.
McBride says this could prevent people from getting out in an emergency. Would like to hear about that.
Campos says that there were some emergency evacuations gates that were added a few years ago.
These would be replaced with this project. That also has emergency lighting.
Rediker asks where those egress points are around the fence perimeter.
Campos goes back to the pictures, and they aren’t easily visible.
Rediker who has attended events there knew about east and west gates but not other emergency exits.
Would like that called to the attention of the public that there are other options.
Smith asks how they are activated if needed in an emergency.
Campos says they are automatically locked or unlocked in the case of an emergency. There is also
additional security during ticketed events to usher users to those exits in the case of an emergency.
Rediker wants to confirm that the new fence would follow the same path.
Campos confirms.
Smith has concerns about the pickets and would like to condition the application that the top rail be flat.
Rediker asks staff if that is something the PEC can look at or if it should be left to the DRB.
Planning Manager Roy answers that it is a design element that is best left to the DRB, but the safety
concern is valid.
No public comment.
Hagedorn recommends that there is flat bar on the top of the fence.
Jensen echoes that concern.
Lipnick agrees. Eight feet ok but would like a flat top.
2
Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of January 13, 2025 396
Smith agrees. There are plenty of fences in Ford Park above eight feet. Would like to see the motion with
a flat top because not having that would be a safety issue that doesn’t meet the criteria.
Tucker agrees with all.
Rediker understands the concerns. Fully respects the point that the penalty for breaking the law should
not be landing on a metal picket. Current fence is easy to get over and has seen it. There could be
others with ill intent that could scale it as well. Making it taller will make it more difficult to scale. They
should have security on the interior of the fence patrolling it to make sure no one gets in there. Believes
criteria is met and this is a safety issue.
Jensen adds that this is the height being voted on and DRB should input on design.
McBride agrees with Smith on the posts. We are trying to keep people out but shouldn’t be causing
bodily harm if they try to scale. Recommends the DRB to look at a flat top rail.
Planner: Heather Knight
Applicant Name: AB Global Inc, represented by Mauriello Planning Group
3.2 A request for review of a variance from Section 12-6D-8B, Gross Residential Floor Area,
Vail Town Code, pursuant to Title 12 Chapter 17, Variances, Vail Town Code to allow for an
increase in the allowable Gross Residential Floor Area (GRFA) within the Two-Family
Primary/Secondary Zone District located at 387 Beaver Dam Circle, Lot 1A, Block 4, Vail
Village 3rd Filing (PEC24-0048).
01:29:33 into meeting:
Planner Knight gives a presentation. She talks about the history of the property. Major remodels were
completed on one half in 2011 and the second half in 2014, maxing out the GRFA for the property. In
2023, a building permit identified some discrepancies.
Rediker asks about the definition of crawl space. Knight says its below 5’ in height, per code. Planning
Manager Roy adds that, for it to not count, the ceiling height is 5’ or less, and opening is less than 12
square feet.
Knight runs through the GRFA calculations. She talks about the variance criteria, staff is recommending
denial as it is not meeting the criteria.
Jensen, are there consequences to contractors for unpermitted work?
Robert N Lipnick made a motion to Approve with the condition on page 6 and the findings on page 6 & 7
of the staff memo
; William A Jensen seconded the motion Passed (6 - 1).

Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of January 13, 2025 397
Roy, at the end of the days it is on the property owner to make sure their property is in compliance, the
Town is unable to hold contractors specifically responsible for this.
Smith, there is wetland close by here, at some point there was limitation on the amount of excavation
here. What happens if the variance is denied, how is this converted back?
Knight says they would need to conform to the GRFA limits set.
Smith asks how does this happen?
Knight says they are not aware of how this came to be.
Smith, if this were accepted as GRFA, would there need to be additional excavation to allow for window
wells?
Knight, it may have to conform with fire sprinkler requirements, doesn’t need that second egress
because it is not a bedroom.
Lipnick asks if the areas in question are on the lowest level.
Knight says we look at the structure as a whole, there is a level that is lower than these.
The applicant is represented by Dominic Mauriello with Mauriello Planning Group. Their client bought the
house as is, without the knowledge that there were spaces that were added illegally. This is a huge issue
for the owner, they are also pursuing legal actions on the private side. We are exhausting our
administrative options but you can also take a look at it today. We think we’re not just going through the
motions, there is legitimate arguments for a variance. It doesn’t set a precedence for the whole town
here, but there are extenuating circumstances here, look at this more as a case-by-case basis.
Mauriello says they avoided all wetlands, what’s underneath the building was already disturbed. The
definition of GRFA has some problems, especially with the basement deductions. If it’s underground you
should get the deduction, we're trying to prevent people getting two floors deductions. If the owner was
tearing this building down, they wouldn’t be getting another 600 sf, they would be getting thousands
because you would build this house very differently. It’s unfortunate they did the renovation two years
before the change in GRFA calculation.
Mauriello says it looks like a storage room right now, one of the complicating factors is that there is
mechanical space in the back of it. There has been a web of different changes to the code since this
property was constructed. The secondary units in the P/S district didn’t benefit as much from the
changes to code that allowed more GRFA.
Mauriello talks about the evolution of GRFA in the Town. He addresses the variance criteria.
Tucker asks about the idea that rebuilding would grant more floor space? Would that even be possible
with wetland restrictions?
Mauriello, it is a horizontal line, not a vertical line. There are not impacts to wetlands to his knowledge.
Jensen, troubled that this was done illegally and if the PEC approved it, that would give license to others
to do it. Your arguments are significant, but as the PEC its hard to weigh in. Would like to see this go in
front of Town Council and let them address the questions about GRFA.
McBride asks when did the applicant first contact the Town to figure out there was an issue?
Mauriello says long after purchase. They submitted building permit plans, not knowing this space was
done illegally. Had it been disclosed by the seller, it would have been a different situation, the Town
didn’t know at the time.

Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of January 13, 2025 398
McBride, what happens if the applicant gets a variance and wins the court case?
Mauriello, there’s probably some issues that occur in there, maybe the client gets money back but the
money doesn’t solve the problem. Would love to see the PEC direct staff to fix the GRFA regulations.
Rediker, does the client agree that under current code for GRFA their residence exceeds the allowable?
Mauriello confirms. Rediker says this GRFA is not conforming unless it was granted a variance.
McBride, how long did it take to an answer from the Town?
Knight says the Town didn’t know about this until a building permit was submitted for some minor interior
work.
McBride says that’s a question that the owner could have asked when they purchased.
Mauriello says they had no reason to understand that there may be unpermitted additions. He talks
about another case on Potato Patch.
Rediker says we're not here today to debate the Town’s GRFA code.
Mauriello says we are to the extent that the hardship is to give fair and equal treatment to a building with
a stepped foundation against a new build.
Roy, you’re correct we’re not here to debate GRFA. The code was applied equally and consistently.
Rediker, your client is asking us to resolve a lawsuit. He has sympathy for their situation, but are they
asking the PEC to rectify the situation?
Maureillo, when we took a step back, forgetting about the fraudulent situation, could you recognize the
code has some inequities in it? You’ve got a stepped foundation, what is the spirit and intent of the law
given these circumstances.
Rediker, is the inequity with the code or because of how the house was constructed?
Mauriello, the house was built before the basement deduction came into effect. People doing new builds
are able to realize more square footage through that.
Jensen asks about ceiling height. Knight says if they’ve rectified removing the GRFA, and it’s exempt it
could move forward.
Smith clarifies that improvements should not exacerbate a non-conformity? Knight confirms. Smith says
granting this variance would increase the non-conformity.
Roy talks about the difference between illegal and legal non-conformities.
Tucker asks about the building permit. Knight and Tucker discuss the code considerations.
Hagedorn, what is the status of the home currently?
Knight, it is occupiable, the remodel application has been stopped.
McBride, not sure this is the right vehicle for us to address this.
Rediker ask for public comment. There is none.
Rediker asks for commissioner comment.
Hagedorn, agrees GRFA definition is broken, supports a redesign of how it's spelled out, right not it
5
Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of January 13, 2025 399
incentivizes blowing out a site. Would be in support of redefining that, wants to prevent three stories of
subterranean living space like we've seen in peer communities. At the same time, that is the best path for
your client to resolve this. We are not a policy setting body, that is council. Within that context, do see
this variance as a special privilege. The seller misrepresented at the sale, this is turning to the PEC for
remedy on a private property dispute. Don’t see that as the right path or illegal activities as a hardship.
We would not grant a GRFA variance with a new build, this meets criteria one and three but fails two.
Jensen shared similar views, concerned about precedent and special privilege, doesn’t support the
request.
Lipnick, agrees with Hagedorn, Council sets policy. Doesn’t meet criteria, doesn’t support it.
Smith, concurs with others. The applicant is a victim, the community is also the victim. Limiting the size
of a residence is necessary, the applicant is not being penalized the property just needs to come into
conformity. If the GRFA rules are not creating the desired outcomes, we should amend those rules, there
is a process that is not the variance criteria. The variance would be a grant of special privilege, if we’re
rewarding and incentivizing illegal GRFA it incentivizes that behavior. This fails all three criteria.
Tucker, because it is case-by-case, if the opposite end is rebuilding just to maximize GRFA, then
granting some additional storage space would be allowable.
McBride, this is a private property dispute, concerned about the precedent, maybe not legal precedent,
but just because somebody gets a raw deal they can now benefit from that. Sorry the owners had to deal
with that, hopefully there is recourse in the courts. This could have been easily remedied at the time of
purchase by contacting the Town of Vail.
Rediker, we had an excellent presentation by the applicant, sympathetic to the applicant and their
situation. But we're looking at the variance criteria, one and two are not met. This would be a grant of
special privilege, no other properties would be given extra GRFA. We can’t condone illegal activity after
the fact by allowing the victim to seek redress here. The recourse for the applicant is civil action. Your
client was victimized and sympathetic for that, but it doesn’t meet the criteria, this is not appropriate
forum to settle the dispute.
Hagedorn says the buyers are enjoying use of the property currently, nothing is stopping them from that.

Applicant Name: TNFREF III Bravo Vail LLC represented by Mauriello Planning Group
31:00 into meeting:
Planner Roy gives a presentation. He walks through the vicinity map, the history of the property, and the
applications being looked at today. He walks through the existing conditions and the proposal. He talks
about the deviations with the SDD, the proposed conditions, and about the sidewalks and the context of
the master plan. He talks about the proposed employee housing on the site.
Hagedorn asks about the sidewalk.
Roy says the Town Engineer recommends the sidewalk stays in the plan, because of the increased
density and use south of Chamonix, to prepare it for future use.
The applicant is represented by Dominic Mauriello with Mauriello Planning Group.
Smith and Mauriello discuss types of sidewalks.
Smith asks if the fire truck pullout will be maintained in the winter.
Roy says it will need to be maintained.
Smith & Roy discuss possible sidewalk configurations and possible access to the west.
Smith says a lot of this is a separate conversation from the application as far as public way
improvements.
Tucker asks about possible speed control coming out of the roundabout, especially with increased
pedestrian traffic.
Discussion about a potential condition related to the infrastructure around the project. Jensen would like
to hear more from public works.
Rediker, we’ve noted the concern about the entrance points.
Smith, can we ask the applicant to include a condition that all exterior lighting shall be full cutoff?
Roy says Town Code is full cutoff, they could ask the applicant if they want to go beyond that as far as
limiting the lumens.
Mauriello talks about the history of the site, the Town previously approved the SDD on two separate
occasions by ordinance. The deviations being requested were also previously approved.
Mauriello says they would be happy with condition that the applicant shall provide two pedestrian
sidewalk connections to Chamonix lane subject to DRB approval. He talks about the geotechnical report.
He talked to the hotel who lowered the lights, and they will fully address this by January 25th. They will
meet Town Code, which is full cutoff.
Smith, the concern is the lighting near the EHU building.
Mauriello, that condition is fine and it should be addressed by February.
Mauriello presents about the snow management plan. He talks about the parking study for the project.
With the West Vail Master Plan, they are even more consistent with the master plan at this point.
Smith asks about the geotechnical report. Mauriello says the report says it’s not a problem to build there
but there may need to be some engineering details to be worked out. There has been mitigation work
done north of Chamonix to address this as well.
7
Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of January 13, 2025 401
Rediker asks about the relief for the height on the existing building. The buildings that are being built
comply with PA-2? Mauriello confirms.
Mauriello says all the lighting is required to be cutoff so a lighting condition is not necessary.
Rediker asks for public comment, there is none. Public comment closed.
Rediker asks for commissioner comment.
Tucker, the applicant put together a good plan and addressed our concerns.
Smith, the staff memo details all the thought and requirements that went into this approval the first time
around. Being able to look back and see how it met the criteria, confident that each of the criteria are
met. Advocates to add a condition about the sidewalks. For the public, there is a lot improvement that
can be made to the public works part of it, but the public that cares about this process will need to
advocate for it moving forward. It’s not appropriate to hang public decision making on one applicant, as
far as this concerned, good to go.
Lipnick, the applicant has answered our questions from last meeting. Supports the project, including the
employee housing.
Jensen, thanks applicants for addressing parking for the EHUs. Supports proposal, the parking study
validates the parking plan. Feels good about this project because it anchors the west end, start of the
west vail redevelopment.
Hagedorn, fine with parking proposal as presented, appreciates the EHU parking. There is strong public
benefit to accelerating development of EHUs. It's very important that we don’t re-trade approvals, there's
responsibility to respect the work that has been done previously. Even without that, it meets the criteria
set forth.
McBride, agrees with Smith and Hagedorn, in support.
Rediker, agrees with commissioners. Not just this commission, but the prior discussions that have
occurred. Hagedorn makes some good points about the continuity of government, we’ve heard
everything here and are making our own decision, but do respect the prior thought that went into this.
Staff did an excellent job in the memo breaking down the criteria, agrees with staff’s analysis.

Background
Town of Vail | TC25-0002| vail.gov
•In the late 1990s, the Town approved a separation request for the
primary unit and secondary unit to be detached due to wetlands
and a small stream that is located on the property.
•A duplex plat was recorded in 2002 with Lot 1A (the property of
focus for this application) as the secondary unit and Lot 1B as the
primary unit.
•The entire Lot 1 is one development lot for zoning standards
calculation purposes, including GRFA.
•Of Lot 1, Lot 1A is 0.1857 acres and Lot 1B is 0.6814 acres for a
total development lot size of 0.8671 acres (37,771sf).
1A
1B - primary
406
GRFA Definition
Town of Vail | TC25-0002| vail.gov
Per 12-15-1, GRFA (Gross Residential Floor Area) is intended to control and limit
the size, bulk and mass of residential structures within the town. GRFA regulation is
an effective tool for limiting the size of residential structures and ensuring that
residential structures are developed in an environmentally sensitive manner by
allowing adequate air and light in residential areas and districts.
Basements: On the lowest level of a structure, the total percentage of all exterior
wall surfaces of the structure as a whole (interior party walls are not considered
exterior walls for the purposes of this section) that are unexposed and below
existing or finished grade, whichever is more restrictive, shall be the percentage of
the horizontal area of the lowest level deducted from the GRFA calculations.
The lowest level shall be the finished floor level with the lowest USGS elevation,
including all floor levels within six vertical feet of the lowest level.
407
GRFA History
Town of Vail | TC25-0002| vail.gov
•In July 2004, the Vail Town Council approved Ordinance 14, Series
of 2004 to amend the GRFA regulations and calculations. The
basement deduction calculation was introduced, and new
calculations based on site/lot area were implemented. The result
of this Ordinance increased the allowable GRFA for the
entirety of Lot 1 from 6,488sf to 8,916sf. The basement
deduction was later modified in subsequent Ordinances but is still a
part of the GRFA calculation to date.
•In November of 2011, Lot 1A was sold and a major remodel was
completed on the secondary unit.The owner of the secondary
residence participated in the EHU exchange program and
converted the EHU living space into GRFA for the residence. The
remodel and elimination of the EHU used 3,566 sq. ft. of
GRFA.This 2011 remodel maxed out the GRFA allowed for the
secondary unit.
408
GRFA History
Town of Vail | TC25-0002| vail.gov
•Lot 1B, the primary unit, underwent a major remodel in 2014 which
utilized 5,354 sq. ft. of GRFA.This additional space exceeded their
allowable 60% of the GRFA by 4sf. With this remodel, the entirety
of the development lot (Lot 1) was maxed out on GRFA at 8,920sf.
•In 2023, Lot 1A was sold to the applicant, AB Global Inc. Shortly
thereafter, the applicant applied for a building permit for interior
renovations to the property. Town of Vail staff identified a
discrepancy in plans and square footage of the property. The areas
identified as crawl space had been converted into living space,
equating to approximately 661 sf of GRFA.
409
Previously converted spaces
Town of Vail | TC25-0002 | vail.gov
•The former mechanical crawl space below the garage was converted to a
wine cellar (shown as blue on main level plan below). This space is located
almost entirely below grade but is not considered to be on the lowest level
of the home and therefore cannot be counted as excluded basement area
for GRFA calculation purposes.
•The second space is beneath another garage area and was converted
from a mechanical crawl space to a butler’s pantry and laundry area
(shown as yellow on main level plan below). The space is also entirely
below grade but not on the lowest level of the house.
410
Previously converted spaces
Town of Vail | TC25-0002 | vail.gov
•The final space is on the lowest level of the house and was originally noted
as crawl space (shown as blue on the lower level plan below). The height
of the space is now greater than 5’-0”. There are no windows but a new
door from the interior has been constructed. Previously, there was no
access from the interior of the home. Because this space is on the lowest
level of the home and is below grade, it can be partially deducted from the
GRFA calculation.

Variances
Town of Vail | TC25-0002 | vail.gov
Title 12 –Variances, Vail Town Code
12-17-1: Purpose:
A.Reasons For Seeking Variance: In order to prevent or to lessen such practical difficulties and
unnecessary physical hardships inconsistent with the objectives of this title as would result
from strict or literal interpretation and enforcement, variances from certain regulations may be
granted. A practical difficulty or unnecessary physical hardship may result from the
size, shape, or dimensions of a site or the location of existing structures thereon; from
topographic or physical conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity; or from other
physical limitations, street locations or conditions in the immediate vicinity. Cost or
inconvenience to the applicant of strict or literal compliance with a regulation shall not
be a reason for granting a variance.
413
PEC Criteria for Review
Town of Vail | TC25-0002 | vail.gov
1.The relationship of the requested variance to other existing or potential uses and structures
in the vicinity.
2.The degree to which relief from the strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of a
specified regulation is necessary to achieve compatibility and uniformity of treatment among
sites in the vicinity, or to attain the objectives of this title without grant of special privilege.
3.The effect of the requested variance on light and air, distribution of population, transportation
and traffic facilities, public facilities and utilities, and public safety.
William A Jensen made a motion to Deny with the findings on page 13-14 of the staff memo; Robyn Smith
seconded the Motion.
The Motion passed (6 - 1).

434
TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
Original GRFA allowance as established in Ordinance 30 of 1977 for Primary Secondary
(P/S) Zone District was:
25% of the first 15,000 sf of lot area
10% of 15,000 sf to 30,000 sf of lot area
5% of the site area in excess of 30,000 sf of lot area
The secondary unit was not to exceed 1/3 of the allowable GRFA
Gross Residential Floor Area in Vail always been difficult to implement
19
435
TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
1981: Ordinance 23 of 1981 to allowed the secondary unit to be a maximum of 40% of the allowable GRFA
1985: Town adopted “250 Ordinance” - allowed any 5 year old existing unit to add 250 sf above GRFA limit
1990: Town undertook first major overhaul of GRFA
•Modified definition of GRFA
•P/S district granted additional 425 sf per allowable dwelling unit, increasing allowable GRFA by 850 sf
•Applied after the 60/40 split
1995: “250 Ordinance” was amended
•Eliminated ability to use 250 if a demo/rebuild
•Required review by the PEC
•Allowed only units that were in existence prior to November 30, 1995 to use “250”
20
436
TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
•Common throughout 1980s and 1990s, Town faced on-going issues with enforcement
of GRFA
•Growing concern owners were doing work without permits, compromising the safety
with illegal construction activities
•1997: Town added “Interior Conversions” to GRFA Chapter
➡allowed units in existence prior to 1997 to do Interior Conversion
➡adopted in recognition that many owners had converted non-habitable space into
GRFA without appropriate permits
➡If this provision still existed today, no variance would be required
21
437
TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
§ 12-15-4 INTERIOR CONVERSIONS.
(A) Purpose. This section provides for flexibility and latitude with the use of interior
spaces within existing dwelling units that meet or exceed the allowable gross
residential floor area (GRFA). This would be achieved by allowing for the conversion of
existing interior spaces such as vaulted spaces, crawl spaces and other interior
spaces into floor area, provided the bulk and mass of the building is not increased.
This provision is intended to accommodate existing homes where residents desire to
expand the amount of usable space in the interior of a home. The town has also
recognized that property owners have constructed interior space without building
permits. This provision is also intended to reduce the occurrence of interior building
activity without building permits and thereby further protecting the health, safety,
and welfare of the community.
22
438
TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
•2002: Group of owners and other interested parties submitted application to Town of
Vail in 2002 with simple premise:
“Eliminate GRFA and allow the other development regulations such as site coverage
and height to regulate bulk and mass, especially in the low density residential zone
districts.”
•Clear from staff memorandums from time that because Interior Conversion only
applied to units constructed prior to 1997, staff was continually dealing with
enforcement issues relating to illegal conversion of crawl or lofted spaces to GRFA
•The PEC memo from October 14, 2002, states:
23
439
PG. 9, STAFF MEMORANDUM TO PEC DATED OCTOBER 14, 2002
ARE THERE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF GRFA?
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC INCENTIVE TO UTILIZE EVERY SQUARE FOOT
IN VAIL’S REAL ESTATE MARKET. ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION TO CREATE NEW FLOOR AREA HAPPENS FREQUENTLY.
SOMETIMES THE TOWN IS ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND STOP THIS ACTIVITY AND
SOME TIMES IT DOES NOT.
THE RESULT IS OFTEN CONSTRUCTION WITHOUT A BUILDING PERMIT.
THEREFORE FIRE ALARMS, FIRE ACCESS , SAFE CONSTRUCTION ARE ISSUES THAT
MAY NOT BE ADDRESSED…
24
440
TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
•Notably, much of research in early 2000s included research completed in the mid-1990s which
was based on a similar premise:
➡GRFA is difficult to administer and has lead to construction completed without building permits -
compromising the safety of residents and guests
•PEC members continually stated that basements and crawl spaces were always most problematic
aspect of GRFA regulations
Chairperson of PEC stated:
“…Below grade not being counted was a unanimous decision. He stressed simplicity and said
that a restriction of basements not exceeding the actual footprint of the structure might be
implemented successfully.”
(PEC Minutes from August 11, 2023)
25
441
TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
•2004: Following years of discussions and hearings, Ordinance 14 of 2004 provided major overhaul of GRFA
•GRFA calculations for P/S district amended as follows:
46% of the first 10,000 sf of lot area
38% of 10,000 sf to 15,000 sf of lot area
13% of 15,000 sf to 30,000 sf of lot area
6% of the site area in excess of 30,000 sf of lot area
The secondary unit was not to exceed 40% of the allowable GRFA
•425 sf credit per allowable unit was eliminated.
•Allowance for “250 Additions” and “Interior Conversions” were eliminated for many zone districts,
including P/S-zoned properties.
•Under assumption GRFA was increased enough to capture these other allowances - not sure that was
successful assumption.
26
442
TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
•While methodology of measuring GRFA was modified with Ordinance 14, biggest change was
allowing for basements to be deducted from calculation
•Major point of discussion during amendment process, as it was argued that basements areas should
not be counted toward GRFA because they do not have an impact on structure’s bulk and mass
•The language adopted in 2004 was as follows:
6. Basements: on the lowest level of a structure, the total percentage of exterior wall surfaces
unexposed and below existing or finished grade, whichever is more restrictive shall be the percentage
of the horizontal area of the lowest level deducted from the GRFA calculations. The percentage
deduction calculations shall be rounded to the near whole percent. The lowest level’s exterior wall
surface area shall be measured from the finished floor elevation of that level to the underside of the
structural floor members of the floor/ceiling assembly above. For the purposes of these calculations,
retaining walls and site walls shall not be considered part of the lowest level’s exterior walls.
27
443
TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
•However, language lacked clarity and by 2016, was disagreement amongst applicants
and staff on implementation of basement deduction
•Many believed that initial discussion was that basement credit was meant to apply to to
any space that was generally below grade
➡Especially important in that Design Guidelines encourage stepping of foundations to
create more environmentally sensitive designs on steep slopes
•Additionally, in case of duplex units, staff began interpreting that only unit at lowest
grade got to take advantage of basement credit
•So your neighbor in the lower unit gets the credit but you do not
28
444
•Unfortunately, even graphics used at
time to discuss basement levels
assumed simple rectangular floor
plan
➡Uncommon in construction of
dwelling units in Vail
•So record lacked some clarity on how
basement deduction was to be
applied to multi-unit structures
TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
29
Graphic used by staff to illustrate basement deductions during the 2004 review process for the GRFA amendments.
445
TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
• In 2016, the basement deduction was amended to read as follows:
6. Basements. On the lowest level of a structure, the total percentage of all exterior wall surfaces of
the structure as a whole (interior party walls are not considered exterior walls for the purposes of this
section) that are unexposed and below existing or finished grade, whichever is more restrictive, shall
be the percentage of the horizontal area of the lowest level deducted from the GRFA calculations.
The lowest level shall be the finished floor level with the lowest USGS elevation, including all floor
levels within six vertical feet of the lowest level. A multi-unit building shall be considered one
structure. The percentage deduction calculations shall be rounded to nearest whole percent. The
lowest level exterior wall surface area shall be measured from the finished floor elevation of that level
to the underside of the structural floor members of the floor/ceiling assembly above. For the
purposes of these calculations, retaining walls and site walls shall not be considered part of the
lowest level exterior walls. The deduction shall be applied to all horizontal areas on the lowest level of
a structure, including garages and employee housing units also deducted from the calculation of
GRFA elsewhere in this title; but the deduction does not apply to any crawl space or attic

TOWN’S GRFA REGULATIONS
•Unfortunately, this had effect of eliminating any
benefit to doing stepped foundation
➡Now it explicitly states that only very lowest level of
structure gets deduction
•As result, it is more common to see entire building
sites scraped to maximize basement credit and
allowable GRFA
•Additionally, basement deduction language still fails
to address one fundamental issue with GRFA
regulations in the Town of Vail: conversions of
existing crawl space to GRFA

387 BEAVER DAM CIRCLE
•Home originally constructed in 2002 - not eligible for
250 addition or interior conversion due to date
requirements for processes
•Pre-dated adoption of new GRFA allowances and
calculation methodologies
•Constructed at time when Town strongly encouraged
stepped foundations to minimize site disturbance.
•Property was further constrained by wetlands and
perennial stream that runs between Lot 1A and Lot 1B.
➡It was because of these impacts that the home
was granted a separation request by the DRB

387 BEAVER DAM CIRCLE
Recognized in 2004 staff memo for GRFA amendment that methodology of only excluding lowest
level would discourage design of buildings with stepped foundations:
By excluding the lowest level of a structure from the GRFA calculations, this amendment creates an
incentive to maximize the size of the lowest level (equivalent to the allowable site coverage). This
also discourages the design of buildings that “step-up” a site where the alignment of the building
steps in response to the site topography. This then encourages a greater amount of site excavation
that results in more disturbance to existing soils and the more destruction of existing vegetation.
When calculating GRFA, deductions such as those for crawlspaces and garages located on the
lowest level of a building will be applied first and then a basement deduction will be applied. This
methodology continues to encourage the construction of crawlspaces designed to be illegally
converted to GRFA at a future date.

453
387 BEAVER DAM CIRCLE
Furthermore, 2004 staff memo recognized that methodology to deduct basements from
GRFA could create justification for variances from GRFA regulations, stating:
This amendment may create justification for variances from the GRFA regulations. If
below-grade spaces are deducted from the GRFA calculations, the Town can anticipate
receiving variance applications for lots where the construction of a basement is not
physically practical (i.e. the presence of bedrock, high water tables near creeks and
wetlands, excessively steep slopes, the presence of existing buildings and structures,
etc.)

CRITERIA FOR REVIEW
39
455
THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE REQUESTED VARIANCE TO OTHER EXISTING OR POTENTIAL USES AND STRUCTURES IN THE VICINITY.
CRITERIA #1
•Beaver Dam Road and Beaver Dam
Circle neighborhood is zoned P/S,
with generally all lots allowed two
dwelling units
•Property adjacent to Town of Vail-
owned open space property zoned
Agricultural and Open Space
The Town of Vail Zoning Map indicates that all lots along West Forest Road are zoned Primary/Secondary. The adjacent property to the south is owned by the USFS, zoned “Resource
Preservation” by Eagle County.
40
456
THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE REQUESTED VARIANCE TO OTHER EXISTING OR POTENTIAL USES AND STRUCTURES IN THE VICINITY.
CRITERIA #1
•Proposed GRFA variance has no impact to properties in the vicinity
•Spaces in question have existed since original construction of home in 2002
•While it is unknown when illegal conversion to GRFA occurred, bulk and mass of structure
did not change from its original construction
•Even exterior remained exactly same - no exterior windows, doors, etc. were added as
part of conversion
•Lower level spaces with no impacts to other neighboring properties
•Because of this, proposed variance is consistent with uses and structures, both existing
and potential, in the vicinity.
41
457
THE DEGREE TO WHICH RELIEF FROM THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF A SPECIFIED REGULATION IS
NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE COMPATIBILITY AND UNIFORMITY OF TREATMENT AMONG SITES IN THE VICINITY, OR TO ATTAIN THE
OBJECTIVES OF THIS TITLE WITHOUT GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.
CRITERIA #2
•The applicant acknowledges that GRFA variances are rare within the Town of Vail.
•However, this property is unique.
•The site is constrained by a perennial steam and wetlands on the property.
•The impacts of these were the basis for a separation request that was granted by the
Design Review Board when the development of the site was approved by the Town.

THE DEGREE TO WHICH RELIEF FROM THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF A SPECIFIED REGULATION IS
NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE COMPATIBILITY AND UNIFORMITY OF TREATMENT AMONG SITES IN THE VICINITY, OR TO ATTAIN THE
OBJECTIVES OF THIS TITLE WITHOUT GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.
CRITERIA #2
•Primary unit constructed on larger buildable area of site, NE of wetlands, while secondary unit
constructed on smaller portion of site, to SW of wetlands
•Because secondary unit was more constrained by wetlands, construction of home required limited site
disturbance to protect wetland vegetation and perennial stream
•Remaining buildable area then necessitated orientation of home to run more perpendicular to grade,
rather than running parallel to grade
•Wetland report recommended stepped foundation with no site disturbance to occur within 5 ft. of
foundation
•Construction method inevitably led to crawl spaces at lowest level of each step of foundation
•These factors are unique to this site

THE DEGREE TO WHICH RELIEF FROM THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF A SPECIFIED REGULATION IS
NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE COMPATIBILITY AND UNIFORMITY OF TREATMENT AMONG SITES IN THE VICINITY, OR TO ATTAIN THE
OBJECTIVES OF THIS TITLE WITHOUT GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.
CRITERIA #2
•Combine this with fact that existing structure was built just prior to 2004 GRFA
amendments, which created deductions for basement areas on only the lowest level
•Staff noted in adoption of these basement deductions this there would then be
justifications for GRFA variance based on factors that specifically apply to this lot: high
water tables near creeks / wetlands and presence of existing buildings and structures

NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE COMPATIBILITY AND UNIFORMITY OF TREATMENT AMONG SITES IN THE VICINITY, OR TO ATTAIN THE
OBJECTIVES OF THIS TITLE WITHOUT GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.
CRITERIA #2
•If home been constructed after 2004 GRFA amendments, it may have been
constructed differently - in manner that would have more successfully maximized
basement deduction
•However, may not have been possible due to physical constraints of lot
•As identified by staff, presence of perennial stream and wetlands could have been
viable justification for variance
•Similarly, previous owner could have requested GRFA variance prior to conversion of
the crawl spaces into GRFA using stream and wetlands, along with presence of
existing structure, which was also identified by staff as justification for GRFA variance

NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE COMPATIBILITY AND UNIFORMITY OF TREATMENT AMONG SITES IN THE VICINITY, OR TO ATTAIN THE
OBJECTIVES OF THIS TITLE WITHOUT GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE.
CRITERIA #2
•Unfortunate that it lands on this owner to correct actions of previous owner
•Because there are unique physical characteristics of site and structure that do not
allow home to be constructed in a similar manner as other homes in vicinity which
allow for a greater basement deduction, not a grant of special privilege to approve this
GRFA variance
•Further, those building homes today are able to gain much more floor area by planning
for lowest level basement deduction - not afforded to existing home, so variance simply
levels playing field between older established homes with stepped foundations and
those with extensive lowest level basement spaces
46
462
THE EFFECT OF THE REQUESTED VARIANCE ON LIGHT AND AIR, DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION,
TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC FACILITIES, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND UTILITIES, AND PUBLIC SAFETY.
CRITERIA #3
•Bulk and mass of existing structure remains exactly same as was approved with 2002 construction
and 2011 remodel of home
•These spaces exist within footprint of home, whether they are GRFA or back-filled to 5 ft head height
•No impacts to distances between buildings, which would effect light and air
•Distribution of population not effected by variance request, and no impacts to transportation
facilities, public facilities and utilities
•Variance request improves public safety and welfare - as these spaces will now be brought to current
Building Code requirements and inspected by Town of Vail officials
•As a result, proposed variance complies with this criterion

•If home been constructed after 2004 GRFA amendments, it may have been
constructed in manner that would more successfully maximized basement deduction
➡However, that may not have been possible due to physical constraints of lot
➡Variance could have been requested so that home could take advantage of basement

a variance
51
467
THAT THE GRANTING OF THE VARIANCE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE
INCONSISTENT WITH THE LIMITATIONS ON OTHER PROPERTIES CLASSIFIED IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
NECESSARY FINDINGS #1
•Similarly, previous owner could have requested variance prior to conversion of crawl
spaces using stream and wetlands, along with presence of existing structure, also an
identified justification for a GRFA variance
•Because there are unique physical characteristics of site and structure that do not
allow home to be constructed in a similar manner as other homes in the vicinity which

this GRFA variance
52
468
THAT THE GRANTING OF THE VARIANCE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE
INCONSISTENT WITH THE LIMITATIONS ON OTHER PROPERTIES CLASSIFIED IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
NECESSARY FINDINGS #1
•Further, homes today are able to gain much more floor area by planning for lowest level
basement deduction
•This is not afforded to this existing home, so this variance levels playing field between
older established homes with stepped foundations and those with extensive lowest
level basement spaces
53
469
THAT THE GRANTING OF THE VARIANCE WILL NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, OR WELFARE, OR MATERIALLY
INJURIOUS TO PROPERTIES OR IMPROVEMENTS IN THE VICINITY.
NECESSARY FINDINGS #2
•Based on Criteria 1 and 3 above, the granting of this variance would not be detrimental
to the public health, safely or welfare.
54
470
THAT THE VARIANCE IS WARRANTED FOR ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1.THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE SPECIFIED REGULATION WOULD RESULT IN PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY OR
UNNECESSARY PHYSICAL HARDSHIP INCONSISTENT WITH THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS TITLE.
2.THERE ARE EXCEPTIONAL OR EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE SITE OF THE VARIANCE THAT DO NOT APPLY
GENERALLY TO OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
3.THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE SPECIFIED REGULATION WOULD DEPRIVE THE APPLICANT OF PRIVILEGES
ENJOYED BY THE OWNERS OF OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
NECESSARY FINDINGS #3
•We understand that this is difficult request to make of Town:
➡We are looking to find reasonable solution for all parties involved
➡We believe that there is justification for a GRFA variance
•Options for current owner to rectify the situation created by the previous owner are not
great for anyone involved:

2.THERE ARE EXCEPTIONAL OR EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE SITE OF THE VARIANCE THAT DO NOT APPLY
GENERALLY TO OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
3.THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE SPECIFIED REGULATION WOULD DEPRIVE THE APPLICANT OF PRIVILEGES
ENJOYED BY THE OWNERS OF OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
NECESSARY FINDINGS #3
1.Bring in enough fill to re-create the original crawl space height of 5 ft. Challenges of
completing this work are unnecessary burden on current homeowner, who was not
responsible for illegal construction to begin with. Current purchased floor area will now
disappear, affecting function of home. Not practical because of location of utilities and
mechanical equipment at rear of this spaces that must remain accessible.
2.Remove GRFA in other locations of the home to accommodate the GRFA created by the crawl
space conversion. Removal of other spaces would eliminate more useable rooms within
home - bedrooms, living rooms, etc. This would be difficult and impractical as those spaces
are legal, permitted, and finished spaces that serve familial functions within home.
56
472
THAT THE VARIANCE IS WARRANTED FOR ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1.THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE SPECIFIED REGULATION WOULD RESULT IN PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY OR

2.THERE ARE EXCEPTIONAL OR EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE SITE OF THE VARIANCE THAT DO NOT APPLY
GENERALLY TO OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
3.THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE SPECIFIED REGULATION WOULD DEPRIVE THE APPLICANT OF PRIVILEGES
ENJOYED BY THE OWNERS OF OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
NECESSARY FINDINGS #3
3.Demolish and rebuild a home that could maximize GRFA and the basement deduction
more in line with neighboring properties. While plausible, current owners purchased
this home with intent of using home - not an expensive / challenging demo and new
construction project. Additionally, site constraints on property do not go away
withdemo/rebuild. Site is constrained by perennial stream and wetlands and when the
duplex plat established property line between Lot 1A and Lot 1B, it generally follows
stream and creates a compact buildable site area for Lot 1A.

3.THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE SPECIFIED REGULATION WOULD DEPRIVE THE APPLICANT OF PRIVILEGES
ENJOYED BY THE OWNERS OF OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
NECESSARY FINDINGS #3
•These all result in an unnecessary physical hardship to the current owner, who did not
cause the situation, and the variance is therefore warranted.

3.THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE SPECIFIED REGULATION WOULD DEPRIVE THE APPLICANT OF PRIVILEGES
ENJOYED BY THE OWNERS OF OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
NECESSARY FINDINGS #3
•Site has extraordinary circumstances that do not apply to other properties to all properties within P/S zone
district - perennial stream and associated wetlands
•Created limited buildable area, along with more robust construction requirements such as stepped
foundation with defined limits of disturbance of only 5 ft. from perimeter of foundation to protect wetland
vegetation.
•Same site constraints warranted approval of a separation request from the Design Review Board. These
can be as challenging, if not more, as a variance.
•In granting separation request, the DRB must make a determination that the lot has significant site
constraints, as outlined in the following code section:

2.THERE ARE EXCEPTIONAL OR EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE SITE OF THE VARIANCE THAT DO NOT APPLY
GENERALLY TO OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
3.THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE SPECIFIED REGULATION WOULD DEPRIVE THE APPLICANT OF PRIVILEGES
ENJOYED BY THE OWNERS OF OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
NECESSARY FINDINGS #3
(B) The presence of significant site constraints may permit the physical separation of units and garages on
a site. The determination of whether or not a lot has significant site constraints shall be made by the Design
Review Board. SIGNIFICANT SITE CONSTRAINTS shall be defined as natural features of a lot such as stands
of mature trees, natural drainages, stream courses and other natural water features, rock outcroppings,
wetlands, other natural features and existing structures that may create practical difficulties in the site
planning and development of a lot. Slope may be considered a physical site constraint that allows for the
separation of a garage from a unit. It shall be the applicant’s responsibility to request a determination from
the Design Review Board as to whether or not a site has significant site constraints before final design work
on the project is presented. This determination shall be made at a conceptual review of the proposal based
on review of the site, a detailed survey of the lot and a preliminary site plan of the proposed structure(s).

2.THERE ARE EXCEPTIONAL OR EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES OR CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE SITE OF THE VARIANCE THAT DO NOT APPLY
GENERALLY TO OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
3.THE STRICT OR LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE SPECIFIED REGULATION WOULD DEPRIVE THE APPLICANT OF PRIVILEGES
ENJOYED BY THE OWNERS OF OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE SAME ZONE DISTRICT.
NECESSARY FINDINGS #3
•It is because of all these factors that strict enforcement of GRFA regulations would deprive
applicant of privileges enjoyed by owners of other properties in same zone district
•Because existing structure was completed just prior to major overhaul of GRFA
regulations, it was unable to take advantage of changes to basement deduction which
more recently constructed homes are permitted to do.
•This, combined with the physical site constraints, deprives applicant of privileges enjoyed
by other P/S zoned properties.

Re: Continuance Request for Appeal of PEC Decision at 387 Beaver Dam Circle
Dear Mayor and Town Council:
Mauriello Planning Group, LLC (MPG) represents the owners of 387 Beaver Dam Circle with
regard to the appeal of a PEC decision. The appeal was filed on January 30, 2025.
Subsequent to the filing of the appeal, the Town Council held a joint worksession with the PEC
at which there was discussion by the PEC and Town Council related to the definition of GRFA
and specifically the basement deduction. In general, there appeared to be alignment between
the Town Council and the PEC that the provisions related to basement deductions needed to
be reexamined and potentially changed.
Following the discussion between the PEC and the Town Council, MPG filed an application for
a text amendment related to the basement deduction on behalf of the owners of 387 Beaver
Dam Circle.
We believe that the outcome of the text amendment application could resolve the matter that is
the subject of the PEC appeal. We are requesting that the Town Council continue the
appeal hearing on March 18, 2025 to June 3, 2025 in order to allow the text amendment
to work its way through the hearing process. Should the result of the text amendment
resolve the matter being appealed, then the appeal can be withdrawn.
We believe this with save everyone time and effort.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,

From:Christopher Botkins
Operations Commander
Subject:Vail Municipal Commercial Vehicle Chain Ordinance
The Vail Police Department is requesting the Town Council approve a municipal chain law
ordinance that mirrors Colorado’s state chain law, with a specified fine of $1,500 for non-
compliance, and $2,650 for non-compliance while blocking the roadway. Given the frequent and
severe winter weather conditions in our region, implementing this measure is critical to ensuring
public safety, reducing extended road closures, and addressing the ongoing issue of trucking
companies' non-compliance.
Commercial vehicles that fail to comply with chain requirements pose significant hazards to all
motorists. Jackknifed or stranded trucks often create dangerous conditions, increasing the risk of
accidents and limiting emergency response capabilities. A municipal ordinance would reinforce
existing safety measures and encourage greater compliance
Lengthy closures of Interstate 70, particularly at Vail Pass, result in significant economic
disruptions, delaying the transport of goods and affecting local businesses. By enforcing a strict
municipal chain law with substantial fines, we can deter violations and minimize unnecessary
road shutdowns.
Despite state regulations, many trucking companies continue to disregard chain requirements,
contributing to preventable delays and safety risks. A municipal ordinance with a $2,800 fine
would serve as a strong deterrent, ensuring that commercial drivers take the necessary
precautions before entering hazardous conditions.

By implementing an ordinance, Vail would strengthen its ability to manage winter roadway
conditions effectively, enhance public safety, and reduce disruptions caused by non-compliant
commercial vehicles.

II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The Vail Town Council shall approve, approve with m odifications, or deny Ordinance
No. 2, Series of 2025, upon second reading.
The applicant, TNFREF III Bravo Vail LLC represented by Mauriello Planning Group is
requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of an application to reestablish
Special Development District No. 43 (Highline Double Tree), pursuant to Section 12 -9-A
Special Development (SDD) District, Vail Town Code, to allow for the development of a
hotel addition and EHU apartment building, and related uses and improvements,
located at 2211 North Frontage Road West / Highline Subdivision Lot 1 and Lot 2 A
resubdivision of Tract C, Lot 1, Lot 2, and Lot 3 Vail Das Schone Filing No. 1 and Lot 1,
Vail Das Schone Filing 3. The request is to reestablish the SDD as approval for the
District was not acted upon within the timeline required by code and expired. The
proposal has remained largely the same since it was originally established, with a few
updates to meet the new building and fire codes.
The proposal would add a new wing to the hotel in the western corner of the site. The
ground floor of this building would include parking and a conference space with three
levels of hotel rooms above. In addition, a 15-unit employee housing building is
proposed on the northern side of the property which has been subdivided into a
separate lot that faces Chamonix Lane.
To accommodate these additions, the following changes are proposed to the site:
• The parking lot would be restriped to include valet parking
• New landscaping would be added around the building
• A sidewalk along Chamonix Lane and Road would be constructed
• A loading zone parking space would be added in front of the EHU building on
Chamonix Lane
• The primary access points on the site would be the same as exists today
Since the original approval of the SDD, the dormitory unit proposed to satisfy the 9.6
employee generation requirement has been constructed and deed restriction recorded
(Deed Restriction record # 202407157 recorded on 7/1/2024 and the associated
subordination agreement record #202407276 recorded on 7/2/2024). This leaves a credit
of an additional 2.4 employees for any future expansions.
This amendment affirms that the special development district remains in place and the
development standards laid out are not subject to expiration. The development plan
would be approved for an additional three years, and is subject to expiration.

III. BACKGROUND
In 1980, the hotel was built in the County and was annexed into the town per Ordinance
No. 43, Series 1980 and zoned CC3 within the required ninety days. The Ordinance
was later overturned by the Colorado Court of Appeals due to a lack of contiguity. It was
then annexed again with Ordinance No. 1, Series 1986 and was again zoned CC3 with
Ordinance No. 10, Series of 1986.
Over time, there have been multiple applications for small remodels or exterior
alterations. In 2016, there was an exterior alteration that allowed for restriping of the
parking lot, pool upgrades, and exterior facade upgrades to the building.
In 2019, the applicant submitted applications for a rezoning from Commercial Core 3 to
Public Accommodation 2, a Special Development District application to create a new
SDD, a minor subdivision to create the two lots, a conditional use permit for commerci al
and a major exterior alteration application for the building additions and EHU building.
SDD No. 43 was recommended for approval by the PEC on April 13, 2020 and was
established by Ordinance No. 4, Series of 2020 in June of 2020. On that same day,
Ordinance No. 3, Series of 2020 approved the zone district change as well.
Per Town Code Section 12-9A-12 Time Requirements, SDD approval is only valid for
three years, during which time, initial construction must be started and be diligently
pursued. The original approval for SDD No. 43 was good through June of 2023.
However, in March of 2021 during the COVID pandemic, the applicants submitted a
Major SDD Amendment to phase the project and extend the approval timeline. The
project was proposed to have a Phase 1 of the employee housing apartment building,
and the hotel related improvements would be Phase 2. With this change, via Ordinance
No. 16, Series of 2021, the approval was extended to September of 2024.
During that period, the plat was recorded separating the parcel for the EHU building,
and there were improvements to the property including a new elevator tower
accompanying the stairs in the southeast portion of the lot and the offices on the second
floor were converted to an employee dormitory.

Town of Vail Page 4
The PEC initially reviewed this application combined with the Major Exterior Alteration
(MEA) at the December 23, 2024 PEC meeting. At the January 13, 2025 meeting the
PEC approved the MEA, with conditions, and recommended approval of the SDD
application. The MEA application is contingent upon the approval of the SDD
reestablishment.

Re: Doubletree Hotel Expansion - Parking Analysis
Vail, Colorado
Purpose:
This memorandum was developed to give a recommendation for the redevelopment of the Doubletree
Hotel. The recommendation is based upon the following two methodologies:
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) parking demand data
Local parking rates at current facilities
Proposed Expansion:
Existing Conditions: The existing Doubletree Hotel currently has ninety-seven (97) hotel rooms and
nineteen (19) condominium units. The hotel has 2,000sf of meeting space.
Proposed Conditions: The redevelopment at the Doubletree Hotel will bring the facility to a total of the
following:
176 hotel rooms
19 hotel suites (hotel rooms with kitchens)
16 deed restricted employee dwelling units (2-3 bedrooms per unit)
12 deed restricted employee housing units in a dormitory configuration
6,000sf of meeting space
National Parking Rate:
Parking Generation Manual1 states that the average peak
period parking demand for a suburban hotel (Land Use #310) is 0.74 spaces per room. The statistic is
given based upon the 95th Percent Confidence Interval for a nationwide study of 22 hotel sites. The 95th
Percent Confidence Interval indicates that there is a 95% likelihood that the parking demand will fall within
0.65 to 0.83 parking spaces per room. The statistical analysis on this data set is considered good with a
low coefficient of variation of 30%.
Additionally, the average peak period parking demand for a suburban hotel (Land Use #310) is 0.83 spaces
per occupied room. The statistic is given based upon the 95th Percent Confidence Interval for a nationwide
study of 27 hotel sites. The 95th Percent Confidence Interval indicates that there is a 95% likelihood that
the parking demand will fall within 0.74 to 0.92 parking spaces per occupied room. The statistical analysis
on this data set is considered good with a low coefficient of variation of 28%.
1 Parking Generation Manual, 5th Edition, Institute of Transportation Engineers, 2019
533
2
These rates were taken in a general urban/suburban setting throughout the United States. These hotel
facilities do not necessarily have the same access to transit, employee workforce, and restricted
workplace parking that the Doubletree Hotel will likely experience.
Observed Actual Parking Rate:
As stated in the Parking Generation Manual
significantly by land use code. The Parking Generation Manual should be considered only the beginning
point of information to be used in estimating parking demand. Local conditions and area type can
influence parking demand. The wide array of data in the manual blends many site conditions and may not
best reflect a particular local condition. Therefore, a survey of a site in a comparable local condition should
always be considered as one
Therefore, local data provides a more accurate representation of parking for the site. The hotel has
collected the following datasets:
Two days of counts taken 5 times per day
Nightly count data taken for eleven (11) months
Two Days of Counts: Ten (10) counts were taken from Friday, December 20, 2019 to Saturday, December
21, 2019 at the following times, as shown in Table 1 below.

From inspection of the above data, the peaks occur during the 5:00 AM and 9:00 PM count times, thus
showing that the peak parking is during the nighttime.
The data shows that the overall average was 0.65 parked vehicles per occupied room. The overall average
was 0.49 parked vehicles per room for the Saturday time, which is the highest rate for both the occupied
room and room rates.
Figure 1 shows the data in Table 1 graphically.

Figure 1: Doubletree Hotel Hourly Count Data
Nightly Count Data: The hotel has collected nightly data over the last 11 months (January-November 2019)
to show how many rooms were occupied and the related number of cars onsite. The counts were taken
at night to capture the peak parking time. Copies of this data is provided as an attachment.
Table 2 summarizes the data and shows the average rate, low and high range of rates, the low and high
95% confidence interval2 rates for both the Parking Generation Manual and the nightly count data, based
upon a parking rate per room. Scenarios shown include a weekday and Saturday, and
time defined as the months of March and July which represent the highest number of vehicles and
occupancy per month.
Figure 2 shows the data from Table 2 in a graphic format. There are not any 95% confidence intervals
calculated for the Parking Generation Manual s Saturday category, as this data set had only one study
performed.
Table 3 and Figure 3 similarly summarize and display the data based upon a parking rate per occupied
room. There are not any 95% confidence intervals calculated for the Parking Generation Manual s
Saturday category, as this data set had eight (8) studies performed.
2 The 95% confidence interval is defined from the Parking Generation Manual as follows:
Confidence Interval a measure of confidence in the statistical data to the average. It indicates the range
within which there is 95 percent likelihood the average will fall. This range is shown when data for 20 or

Figure 3: Parking Rates by Occupied Rooms
Note: Values shown in Red Bold type represent anomalies in the dataset, where there was a low room occupancy
and standard parking. These may have been due to a daily conference where the parking lot was utilized
but there were not the corresponding occupied rooms for overnight stays. In all these cases, the overall
room occupancy rate is low. See Table 4 for a summary of the top 5 highest observed rates.

The Doubletree Hotel is located where it has s located
within walking and bus proximity to recreation and amenities including restaurants, retail and grocery
stores.
Observed Parking Rate per Room: Per the nightly count data, the observed parking rate was 0.36 vehicles
per room during the weekday and 0.46 vehicles per room on Saturday, based on the annual data. The
observed parking rate for the two highest peak months of March and July was 0.50 and 0.58 for the
weekday and Saturday respectively. The two days of counts dataset had averages of 0.36 and 0.49 for
the weekday and Saturday respectively.
Observed Parking Rate per Occupied Room: Per the nightly count data, the observed parking rate was
0.65 vehicles per occupied room during the weekday and 0.65 vehicles per occupied room on Saturday,
based on the annual data. The observed parking rate for the two highest peak months of March and
July was 0.70 and 0.68 for the weekday and Saturday respectively. The two days of counts dataset had
averages of 0.57 and 0.65 for the weekday and Saturday respectively.
Proposed Parking Rate:
The parking rate for this facility is best determined by using local parking data. The Doubletree Hotel
Development is proposing to provide 215 parking spaces for 223 hotel rooms, suites, and affordable
housing apartments. This equates to a parking rate of 0.96 per unit. This rate of 0.96 per unit, whether it
would be classified as parking rate per room or parking rate per occupied room is greater than the 95%
confidence interval for all values, including that of the peak months. Therefore, with proper parking
management, it is anticipated that a parking rate of 0.96 spaces per room will be adequate for the
proposed Doubletree Hotel development.
Please call if you would like any additional information or have any questions regarding this matter.

Geologic Study
Doubletree Vail Expansion
Vail, Colorado
Project No: 19102
Dear Mr. Mutkoski:
Skyline Geoscience, LLC (Skyline) is pleased to submit this geologic study for the Doubletree Vail hotel
(Doubletree) located at 2211 North Frontage Road West in the Town of Vail, Eagle County, Colorado.
Based on site plan drawings by Alpine Engineering (undated, received November 4, 2019), proposed site
improvements include expanding the existing hotel in the north and northwest parts of the site
(currently a ground-level parking lot and grass-covered lawn). This expansion includes, but is not limited
to, adding a new conference building and parking garage with additional hotel levels above and addition
of a separate apartment building along Chamonix Lane at the rear-north of the property. The proposed
apartment building will be four-stories high and will be notched into the slope along the northern
property boundary.

1.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The objective of this geologic study is to characterize the geologic conditions for the Doubletree
property using existing, available data. According to the Town of Vail geologically sensitive area maps,
rockfall and debris flow hazard zones extend onto the Doubletree property. A medium severity rockfall
hazard zone is mapped in the northwest corner and a moderate debris flow hazard zone extends onto
the property in the northeast corner. For this study, geologic hazards of focus were limited to debris
flow and rockfall hazards. Other geologic hazards are not included in the scope of this study and may
require consideration during future site-specific studies.
Based on the documents available and our understanding of the project, the scope of work for the
geologic study included:
1. Review available literature for the subject site and surrounding area. Available literature
included published reports and maps, aerial photographs, topographic maps, and other
resources.
2. Review applicable local and state government regulations, policies, and guidelines related to
geologic studies.
3. Site reconnaissance for observations of existing conditions.
4. Identify geologic conditions that potentially impact the proposed development using existing,
available data.
5. Preparation of this report signed by a Colorado Professional Geologist summarizing findings,
conclusions, and recommendations.
2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is located at 2211 North Frontage Road West in the Town of Vail, Eagle County, Colorado. The
site is generally rectangular in shape, about 4.2 acres in size, and currently developed with a hotel,
swimming pool, and parking lot (Figures 1 and 2). The site is surrounded by developed land (commercial,
residential, roadways) and is bordered by the Interstate-70 Frontage Road to the south and Chamonix
Lane to the north.
The site is in the southeast quarter of Section 11, Township 5 South, Range 81 West, with a latitude and
-vicinity generally slopes gently
down toward Gore Creek located about 400 feet to the southeast, at closest approach. Incised
drainages on the undeveloped slopes above the project area drain southeastward toward Gore Creek.
The site topography is generally flat to gently sloping down to the south-southeast, as the existing
Doubletree hotel and a surface parking lot occupy the majority of the site (Photograph 1). The parking
lot areas slope down to the south-southeast with a slope of about 7.5 degrees. The site topography

boundary rises about 14 to 16 feet in elevation to meet Chamonix Lane to the north, with a slope of
about 30 degrees (Photograph 2). The northwest part of the site has a slope of about 12.5 degrees. The
eastern property edge, within the 20-foot property boundary easement also slopes down toward the
hotel parking lot. Elevation ranges from about 7936 feet along the southern boundary to about 7972
feet along the northern property
boundary, an elevation change of
about 36 feet across the property.

3.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Skyline understands that proposed development plans include expansion of the existing Doubletree
hotel and addition of a separate, four-story apartment building along the northern boundary of the
property. Expansion of the hotel is to include parking garage, conference room, and hotel levels and
will extend into the northwestern part of the site currently developed as a ground-level parking lot and
an open, grass-covered lawn (Photograph 3). Based on the proposed site plan, the apartment building
will be notched into the steep slope on the north side of the site. Refer to the proposed site plan
drawing included herein as Figure 3 (Alpine Engineering, undated).

4.0 GEOLOGIC SETTING
4.1 REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The Doubletree Vail hotel is in the Southern Rocky Mountain physiographic province in a montane to
subalpine setting. The Gore fault system is the western structural boundary of the Gore Range and was
active during the Laramide mountain building event about 70 to 50 million years ago. The Gore Range
is comprised of crystalline rock and is separated from the Front Range Mountains to the east by the
Blue River Valley and the Williams Range thrust fault zone. Southwest of the Gore fault system are thick
sequences of sedimentary units such as the Minturn and Maroon Formations. Sedimentary units
underlie the site and surrounding area and are comprised of shale, claystone, siltstone, sandstone,
558

GEOLOGICAL CONSULTING
19102 DOUBLETREE VAIL EXPANSION GEOLOGIC STUDY | PAGE 6 OF 15
conglomerate, and marine limestone. Surficial deposits are also mapped in the region along Gore Creek
Valley and associated tributaries, including artificial fill, alluvial, colluvial, debris flow/fan, landslide, and
glacial deposits.
4.2 GEOLOGY
Based on published geologic mapping (Scott and others, 2002; Kellogg and others, 2011), the site is
underlain by artificial fill deposits overlying Minturn Formation bedrock (Figure 4). The artificial fill
deposits are categorized as modified land surface deposits (latest Holocene; historically recent) by Scott
and others (2002) and are described as predominantly compacted rock, sand and silt placed under and
adjacent to highways, earthen dams, urban streets, buildings, and landscaped areas. In the western
part of the Town of Vail, these deposits include a layer of grass sod and decorative boulders placed
deliberately and moved from their original location. In the project area, modified land surface deposits
typically overlie older surficial deposits such as glacial till, alluvium, fan-alluvium, debris flow deposits,
and colluvium (Quaternary age).
Bedrock at the site is obscured by surficial material. Bedrock underlying the site is Minturn Formation
(Middle Pennsylvanian; about 310 to 300 million years before present), characterized as interbedded
arkosic grit, sandstone, conglomerate, siltstone, shale, with some limestone and dolomite. The grit is
comprised of coarse-grained sand to granule-sized particles, is poorly sorted and quartz-rich. The
sandstone is similar to the grit except these layers are finer-grained. Conglomerate layers are common
in the Minturn Formation and are comprised of granule- to cobble-sized clasts of granite, gneiss,
pegmatite, quartzite, and carbonate rocks. The siltstone and shale layers exhibit dominant mica and
sand components. The color of the clastic units in the Minturn Formation vary greatly on a local and
regional basis. Carbonate rocks also occur in the Minturn Formation, including the widespread and
relatively continuous White Quail Limestone as well as thinner, discontinuous limestone layers in the
project area. Bedrock generally dips 25 to 35 degrees down toward the northwest (Scott and others,
2002).
5.0 GEOLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 DEBRIS FLOW
A moderate debris flow hazard zone is mapped by the Town of Vail in the northeast part of the site
currently occupied by a ground-level parking lot. Photograph 4 shows a view of the drainage upslope
from the Doubletree which is the source of the debris flow hazard as depicted on the Town of Vail

geologically sensitive areas map (Figure 5). Published geologic mapping (Scott and others, 2002) shows
younger fan alluvium and debris flow deposits at the mouth of this incised drainage, deposits which
approximately extend up to Chamonix Lane immediately north of the site.
Photograph 4. View
looking northward
across the ground-
level parking lot that
occupies the eastern
part of the site. The
incised drainage
which poses the
debris flow hazard is
visible in the
background, upslope
from the site
boundary.
A large debris flow event occurred in May 1984, originating from the sidewalls of the channel upslope
from the Doubletree property (Photograph 4). In a debris flow analysis report for the Tall Pines
Subdivision located upslope of the Doubletree, Arthur I. Mears, P.E., Inc. (Mears; April 1992) opined
that this debris flow event originated as a small debris avalanche at an elevation of about 8800 feet on
the east-facing slope in the canyon and deposited material into the stream channel which was
experiencing high flows due to heavy snowmelt runoff at the time. A debris flow resulted, transporting
and depositing mud, water, rocks (up to 3-foot diameter) and debris on the alluvial fan surface. The
debris flow deposited material against existing buildings and on slopes above and around structures.
Mears presented recommendations for debris flow hazard mitigation concepts for the Tall Pines
Subdivision (various dates between about 1991 to 1999, see References and Documents Reviewed
section) located upslope from the Doubletree, including but not limited to:
Reinforcement and special design of the lower building walls on all north and east sides of the
proposed structures in the Tall Pines Subdivision, Lots 1 and 2. Design walls to withstand a
uniform impact pressure of at least 500 psf and reach a height of at least 5 feet above final
560

grade. Windows, doors and other elements such as deck supports within 5 feet of final grade
must be avoided or reinforced to withstand the impact pressures.
A protective boulder wall, at least 5 feet high, along north and east sides of the existing structure
on Lot 4, Vail Das Schone Filing No. 1.
Positive drainage away from and around structures.
Boulder wall at the top of the slope above the access road, with boulders at least 5 feet in
diameter, spaced no more than 1 foot apart, and designed to withstand debris flow impact
pressures of at least 500 psf.
Control and conveyance of surface water runoff (normal and 100-year flood event).
Skyline performed a site visit in September 2019 for observations of the Doubletree property and the
area upslope and to the north of the site. Observations were made (where possible) of the existing
debris flow mitigation features constructed on the properties to the north on the upslope side of
Chamonix Lane. Observed debris flow mitigation and drainage features included:
1. Riprap-lined drainage channel. Includes a culvert to channel water under the asphalt-paved
driveway (Photographs 5 through 7). The riprap works to dissipate high flow energies and to
limit erosion along this channel.
2. Boulders placed along the north and east sides of the residential structure on Lot 4, Vail Das
Schone Filing No. 1 (Photograph 8).
3. A wall of boulders (15 in total), nominally 4 to 6 feet in diameter, spaced about 1 to 2 feet apart
(Photograph 9). This wall is placed at the top of the slope above the asphalt driveway leading to
the Tall Pines Subdivision, within the debris flow drainage channel.
Other debris flow mitigation measures not listed here may have been constructed on these upslope
properties but are not easily visible from the exterior of the structures, or without access to the interiors
or review of building plans.

Photograph 9. Looking
westward, view of the line of 4-
to 6-foot diameter boulders
acting as a debris flow barrier
which prevents larger,
destructive debris from flowing
downslope.
The boulder wall shown in Photograph 9 acts as a barrier system to stop large material from being
transported downslope during destructive and damaging debris flow events. This barrier reduces the
debris flow hazard at the Tall Pines Subdivision and on neighboring properties, including the Doubletree
located directly downslope. Existing mitigation features observed are shown
on Figure 6.
5.2 ROCKFALL
A medium severity rockfall hazard zone extends into the northwest area of the Doubletree property, as
shown on Figure 5. The ground surface on the Doubletree property and surrounding developed area
has been significantly modified and evidence of previous historic rockfall events has been obscured.
The properties upslope from the Doubletree are developed and there are two to three rows of
residential structures between the Doubletree and potential upslope rockfall sources. Although
rockfalls can skirt the edges and areas between existing buildings, the presence of these existing
upslope structures reduces the likelihood of a rockfall potentially reaching the Doubletree.
In a rockfall hazard analysis performed for the Tall Pines Subdivision (April 1992), Mears concluded that
falling rocks would not reach that site. The analysis was based on a design rockfall diameter of 2 feet
and a sandstone outcrop source zone located at about 850 feet northwest at an elevation about 350
feet above the Tall Pines Subdivision. Characterization of previous rockfalls in the area could not be
564
SKYLINE GEOSCIENCE
GEOLOGICAL CONSULTING
19102 DOUBLETREE VAIL EXPANSION GEOLOGIC STUDY | PAGE 12 OF 15
determined by Mears due to significant modification of the ground surface. Although the rockfall
hazard study by Mears is specific to the Tall Pines Subdivision, the results of the analysis indicate that
rockfalls will not reach this upslope site.
Due to the number of existing structures upslope from the Doubletree, and the results of the rockfall
hazard study completed by Mears for the Tall Pines Subdivision upslope from the Doubletree, the
rockfall hazard is considered low for the site. As such, a site-specific rockfall hazard analysis was not
included in the scope for this study.
6.0 CONCLUSIONS
1. GEOLOGY: The geologic units underlying the site include artificial fill overlying Minturn Formation
bedrock. Based on geologic mapping and experience with subsurface conditions in the area, the fill
likely overlies older surficial deposits of glacial till, alluvium, fan-alluvium, debris flow deposits, and
colluvium. Minturn Formation bedrock at the site is obscured by surficial material and is described
as interbedded arkosic grit, sandstone, conglomerate, siltstone, shale, with some limestone and
dolomite. Subsurface conditions, including but not limited to, the depth to groundwater and the
depth, lithology, thickness, and geotechnical properties of the underlying materials, should be
verified during site-specific geotechnical explorations.
2. DEBRIS FLOWS: A moderate debris flow hazard zone is mapped in the northeast part of the site
currently occupied by a ground-level parking lot. The proposed construction in this area includes an
apartment building along the northern property boundary and within the moderate debris flow
hazard zone. The boulder wall installed upslope from the Doubletree property in the Tall Pines
Subdivision reduces the debris flow hazard for the northeast part of the property but does not
eliminate it.
If site development of the Doubletree property is to include residential structures, hotel units, or
other structures within the moderate debris flow hazard zone, a site-specific debris flow hazard
analysis should be completed to determine performance specifications to support mitigation
design. A site-specific debris flow hazard analysis will determine, among other things, the estimated
thickness, impact pressure, velocity, and volume of potential debris flows impacting the site. Design
of debris flow mitigation should be performed by a licensed professional engineer. Mitigation
options to reduce the debris flow hazard in the northeast part of the site are dependent on the
design specifications determined by the project engineer and may include, but are not limited to:
a. Reinforcement of the lower building walls on the north side (and other sides if required) to
withstand the design impact pressure and estimated debris flow height determined with a
565
SKYLINE GEOSCIENCE
GEOLOGICAL CONSULTING
19102 DOUBLETREE VAIL EXPANSION GEOLOGIC STUDY | PAGE 13 OF 15
site-specific debris flow hazard analysis. Other structural elements such as doors, windows,
decks, stairways, etc. within the lower limits of the building should be avoided or also
designed to withstand the estimated debris flow impact pressure.
b. Positive drainage to divert water and muddy debris away from and around structures.
Ground surface should be flat to gently sloping away from foundation walls on the north
side of structures, with adequate access space for equipment to clean out debris if necessary
and to avoid deep accumulations of material in the event of a debris flow.
c. Contain and convey surface water runoff associated with normal and flood event surface
flows.
d. A barrier placed along the northern property boundary within the moderate debris flow
hazard zone and extending beyond the zone on each side to the east and west (extent to be
determined by project engineer during design). The barrier should be designed to withstand
the estimated debris flow impact pressures and be constructed to stop large debris from
moving downslope while allowing water and mud to flow through the barrier system.
e. The mitigation should not increase the debris flow hazard to surrounding properties or
structures.
3. ROCKFALL: A medium severity rockfall hazard zone is mapped by the Town of Vail in the northwest
area of the site currently occupied by a surface parking lot. The ground surface on the Doubletree
property and surrounding developed area have been significantly modified and evidence of
previous historic rockfall events has been obscured. Due to the number of existing structures
upslope from the Doubletree, and the results of a rockfall hazard study by Mears for the upslope
Tall Pines Subdivision, the rockfall hazard is considered low for the site. No site-specific rockfall
hazard analysis was included in the scope for this study.
7.0 LIMITATIONS
The purpose of this report is to provide an assessment of geologic conditions as related to the proposed
expansion of the Doubletree Hotel property at 2211 North Frontage Road West in the Town of Vail,
Colorado. The professional judgments expressed in this report meet the standard of care for our
profession. This geologic study is based on review of available literature and published geologic and
topographic maps, a general understanding of geologic conditions and processes in the project area,
and experience with similar conditions. Variations in geologic conditions can and do occur, and there is
a potential for variations in the geologic site conditions presented in this report. These variations, if
present, may be enough to necessitate modifications to this report. If unexpected, adverse, or differing
566

conditions are encountered during construction, Skyline should be notified for additional review and
potential modification to the conclusions and recommendations herein.
It is beyond the scope of this study to provide specific design criteria related to foundations, structural
fill or site grading. The foundations for the proposed structures, as well as any geologic hazard
mitigation, should be designed by a licensed professional engineer. Reasonable effort was made to
obtain available relevant information through the Town of Vail online property document portal.
Skyline is not responsible for obtaining every and all documents potentially relevant to the geologic
hazards at the Doubletree or surrounding sites. The documents reviewed on the Town of Vail property
document portal may not include every document, report, plan, or drawing relevant to geologic hazard
studies or constructed mitigation on the Tall Pines Subdivision property upslope from the site or on
other sites. Skyline should be notified if additional documentation is discovered or becomes available
which may assist in characterizing the existing geology, geologic hazards and related mitigation
potentially impacting the Doubletree property.

3.1
A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of an application to
reestablish Special Development District No. 43, pursuant to Section 12 -9(A), Special
Development Districts, Vail Town Code, to allow for the development of a hotel addition,
add conference space and an employee housing apartment building, and related uses
and improvements, located at 2211 North Frontage Road West which is composed of
Tract C, Lot 1, Lot 2, and Lot 3 Vail Das Schone Filing No. 1 and Lot 1, Vail Das Schone
Filing 3, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC24-0039)

Planner: Greg Roy
Applicant Name: TNFREF III Bravo Vail LLC represented by Mauriello Planning Group
Rediker introduces Items 3.1 and 3.2. The items are heard concurrently.
Planner Roy gives a presentation. He walks through the history, site plans, existing conditions,
and proposed plans.
Roy and commission discuss details of the parking study for the Highline.
Lipnick asks about the size of the EHUs in the apartment building. Roy says from 800 sf up to 1200 sf.
Rediker asks about the conditional use permit in 2019? Has anything happened with that, does it need
to be addressed?
Roy says the CUP is still in place, not a requirement of the SDD.

Rediker says the existing non-
existing non-conformities today.
Rediker asks about loading and delivery. Roy says the spaces will stay the same, he highlights the
two spaces on the site map. The PEC can deviate on the size of the loading spaces.
Any future redevelopment will have to conform with that height.
Smith asks about housing as a public benefit versus housing as a code standard.
Roy talks about commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning. That is not seen generally as a public
Smith, four of the units are permanent public benefit, the remainder are temporary until required
for a future project.
Smith asks how has this proposal changed from the last time?
-truck turnaround has a different orientation.
Roy says the development plan would come back.
The applicant is represented by Dominic Mauriello with Mauriello Planning Group. Maurielloo says in

or different.
Mauriello gives a presentation. He talks about the employee housing requirements. He talks about
the changes made to the application with the fire code and the fire-resistant landscaping. All of
these EHU units are public benefit in recognition of the SDD. Four of those units cannot be banked.
the elevator tower on the south which can exceed that per code.
Rediker and Mauriello discuss the operation of the valet parking. Mauriello says there will be a
controlled area specifically for the valet parking. The valet spaces are enclosed. The EHU building
may have its parking within the valet area, to be addressed with a parking management plan. This is
also a good location for someone to live without a car.
Jensen asks employee housing mitigation.
Mauriello talks about the employee housing mitigation bank and how that has been applied in the past.
Smith and Mauriello talk about the expirations with the previous approvals.
Smith says the West Vail Master Plan recognizes this. She would like further clarification as to the
transporation master plan, streetscape plan, and the proposed sidewalk on the north and west of
the site.
Mauriello, you would extend the sidewalk if something were to happen in the future where it
should extend to the property line on the southwest.

streetscape
is a conversation we should have.
Smith asks if that conversation can be continued, Roy says it would be best to talk to the Town
Engineer for that conversation.
Smith asks about the grass product. Mauriello says they thought tit was better than it being asphalt.
Smith, the parking lot is currently very lit up. It would be good to address that, especially for the
residents of the EHU building.
Mauriello says they will be responsive to that concern.
Rediker asks about the parking approvals from 2019. Why was it determined that the meeting
room space would require zero spots?
Mauriello say the parking study showed that the actual utilization was less than the parking
requirement. When you took the project wholistically, the conference room was being accommodated
give you a more detailed version of that.
Rediker asks about the management of the snow storage when the hotel is full of guests. Mauriello
Rediker asks about the current snow storage on the south of the building. Mauriello thinks currently
some of it happens on the back of the site. Tucker says currently some of it is stored by the pool.
Rediker, what was the conversation previously in regard to parking for the EHUs?
Roy, it was a mixture of valet and the spaces back there. There are also six spaces on the north side
sure there are spaces allocated within the parking plan.
to sell the housing site it could create problems.
Rediker asks if the enclosed parking is buried. Mauriello, eventually the parking will be seen as
being underground. The garage is buried for the majority of the perimeter.
Roy talks about previous geohazard studies. There will be a site-specific report for this project
with a building permit submittal.
Rediker asks for public comment.
Molly Reagan, lives in the neighborhood. She wants to talk about quality of life, and the potential for
three years of construction traffic on Chamonix Road. They have young children in the area.
Appreciate that there is going to be more discussion about what traffic in west Vail looks like.
Walkability, and community engagement were goals of the WVMP. This will cause more noise in that
neighborhood, the pool at the hotel is already very noisy, would like to talk more about noise as it
pertains to the hotel. Construction traffic will only access via Chamonix, which is a big concern for
everyone in that neighborhood.
Rediker closes public comment.
Tucker, everything has been well laid out. Concerned about purchasing a unit where the parking

there is a condition in there. We need a public process to produce design guidelines and a

Lipnick, overall approve of this process. Concerned about the EHU having specific parking spots,
Town. Concerned about the neighbors along Chamonix, that their needs are addressed noise,
construction, etc.. In general, supports this project, but come back with more specifics.
Jensen, his overall view is just reapproving an existing plan with some modest modifications. The EHU
in its location will benefit the Chamonix residences, providing shielding from the highway. Encourages
provide the most value to the people living there year-round. Hopes that construction access occurs
through the property and not Chamonix.
-
Chamonix, it would be a benefit to have some pedestrian access there, a broader conversation about
that would be great.
McBride, shares concern about parking, not sure we can continue to make the same assumptions.
Understand if the Town and applicant have come to an agreement if this is an extension.
Rediker, wants to have a better understanding of the process, the end result might be the same but
expansion will there be any extra trash services involved with that?
Roy says it may be increasing frequency of service but not expanding.
Rediker, all the deviations are reasonable, some are minimal. Want to make sure parking works, in
difficulties may arise. We have a reduction in snow storage, and an area that is not conducive to
opinion on that. There have been some comments today giving a lot of leeway to the previous
approval.

Planner Knight gives a presentation. She talks about the existing site and surrounding area. She
talks about the master plan context. She walks through the zoning summary for the existing and
proposed zoning.
Hagedorn and Knight discuss the 40% EHU requirement for GRFA.
Smith, to clarify if the mitigation amount is above 438 sf, an EHU is required on site.
The applicant is represented by Michael Current with Current Architects. He says the property fits
what this was intended for. The client was originally planning on building a two -family duplex, but this
became an interesting opportunity when this overlay was approved. There are no concrete plans yet,
a little more site coverage and GRFA.
Jensen asks about the potential parking for the EHU.
Current says a three-bedroom unit would require three surface spots, with the new standards
there would be room for that. The unit may be about 1,600 sf, the plans are very preliminary.
Tucker, will this come back to PEC?
Roy, says if recommended it would go to Council for final approval of the rezoning and then DRB.
Rediker asks for public comment. They have received public comment that was given to the
Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of December 23, 2024

commissioners today.
Knight says she had phone conversations with neighbors and the main concerns were about
density, bus usage, and increased traffic.
Jon and Barbara Kirschner live in the neighnorhood. Jon Kirschner says they are all for redevelopment,
Barabara Kirschner says they are in favor of one EHU, maybe even two EHUS, but if it gets up to
have been problems in the neighborhood. Very concerned about the seven units, when it gets bigger
Jon Kirschner says when they redeveloped their property in 2008 it was built according to code in the
county as a 50/50 duplex, then we were informed we had to do primary/secondary split. That should
Rediker closes public comment. He asks for commissioner comment.
McBride, concerned why we're being asked to vote on something up to 7 units.
Hagedorn, this is not binding as to a development plan. It allows for flexibility in granting more GRFA
functioning like we intended it to, without the applicant
opting in there would be no EHU and it would be a luxury duplex. This shows there is some incentive
here. Believes it meets the criteria, makes sure at least one workforce housing unit is preserved on
this property.
Jensen, like the idea of a three bedroom unit as opposed to one bedroom units, there would be
the opportunity for a family to live here. This is what we hoped for with this plan.
Lipnick is in support of this. The overlay was proposed for benefiting the residents and workers in
West Vail, and this meets the criteria.
Smith supports application. This meets the criteria; she concurs with the findings. This is exactly what
that neighborhood, an old building gets redeveloped in a way that is good for the community. Doubt
anybody could park 7 units, it is self-limiting.
what it looks like.
Rediker agrees it meets the criteria. Appreciates the public comment, the public can be reassured
when we were looking at a lot this size. It could never be a giant parking building on this lot, because
of the way the overlay is structured, it is naturally limiting it due to the criteria involved.
William A Jensen made a motion to Recommend for approval with the findings on page 12 & 13 of
the staff memo; Robyn Smith seconded the motion Passed (7 - 0).

A request for review of a variance from Section 14-10-9 Fences, Hedges, Walls and
Screening, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Title 12 Chapter 17, Variances, Vail Town Code
to allow for a fence to exceed six feet in height, located at 540 S Frontage Road E,

01:09 into meeting:
Planner Leaman-Miller gives a presentation on the application. Goes over the requested variance.
Shows pictures from around the proposed fence location. No trees are proposed to be removed as a
result of the proposed work. Amphitheater management and Vail Police Department have security
concerns from the existing six-foot fence, which is why the variance is requested to go up to eight
feet in height. Staff is recommending approval of the application.
No questions for staff.
Pedro Campos from Zehren & Associates is representing the Vail Valley Foundation. Fence would
be changing to a steel fence that would be more durable. Goes over the process of getting to this
design and how it will be similar to the Dillon Amphitheater.
Rediker asks about the construction of the fence.

Campos goes over the eight-foot interval between foundational pieces to secure rest of the fence. It will
go in the same place as existing, but tighter intervals. Posts will be hand dug and will need to go six
inches below frost line.
Hagedorn asks about the height, the top pieces and if they will be spikes that could endanger wildlife.
They want to have the pickets above the top rail, but they will not be sharp. Smith asks about the
spikes; she has the same concerns as Hagedorn regarding something or someone being impaled.
Hagedorn asks about the height of the pickets.
Campos says they are two inches above the top rail.
Lipnick asks how they came to the decision of six feet compared to eight feet and why.
Campos states that it was a recommendation of the VPD to go up to that height. That is what
they suggested.
Smith does not support the height with the pickets above the rail. Does not feel safe.
Campos notes that concern.
McBride says this could prevent people from getting out in an emergency. Would like to hear about that.
Campos says that there were some emergency evacuations gates that were added a few years ago.
These would be replaced with this project. That also has emergency lighting.
Rediker asks where those egress points are around the fence perimeter.
Rediker who has attended events there knew about east and west gates but not other emergency exits.
Would like that called to the attention of the public that there are other options.
Smith asks how they are activated if needed in an emergency.
Campos says they are automatically locked or unlocked in the case of an emergency. There is also
additional security during ticketed events to usher users to those exits in the case of an emergency.
Rediker wants to confirm that the new fence would follow the same path.
Campos confirms.
Smith has concerns about the pickets and would like to condition the application that the top rail be flat.
Rediker asks staff if that is something the PEC can look at or if it should be left to the DRB.
Planning Manager Roy answers that it is a design element that is best left to the DRB, but the
safety concern is valid.
No public comment.
Hagedorn recommends that there is flat bar on the top of the fence.
Jensen echoes that concern.
Lipnick agrees. Eight feet ok but would like a flat top.

Smith agrees. There are plenty of fences in Ford Park above eight feet. Would like to see the motion
Tucker agrees with all.
Rediker understands the concerns. Fully respects the point that the penalty for breaking the law
should not be landing on a metal picket. Current fence is easy to get over and has seen it. There
could be others with ill intent that could scale it as well. Making it taller will make it more difficult to
scale. They should have security on the interior of the fence patrolling it to make sure no one gets in
there. Believes criteria is met and this is a safety issue.
Jensen adds that this is the height being voted on and DRB should input on design.

01:29:33 into meeting:
Planner Knight gives a presentation. She talks about the history of the property. Major remodels were
completed on one half in 2011 and the second half in 2014, maxing out the GRFA for the property.
In 2023, a building permit identified some discrepancies.
Rediker asks about the definition of crawl space. Knight says its below five feet in height, per code.
Planning Manager Roy adds that, for it to not count, the ceiling height is five feet or less, and
opening is less than twelve square feet.
Knight runs through the GRFA calculations. She talks about the variance criteria, staff is
recommending denial as it is not meeting the criteria.
Jensen, are there consequences to contractors for unpermitted work?
Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of January 13, 2025

Roy, at the end of the days it is on the property owner to make sure their property is in compliance,
the Town is unable to hold contractors specifically responsible for this.
Smith, there is wetland close by here, at some point there was limitation on the amount of
excavation here. What happens if the variance is denied, how is this converted back?
Knight says they would need to conform to the GRFA limits set.
Smith asks how does this happen?
Knight says they are not aware of how this came to be.
Smith, if this were accepted as GRFA, would there need to be additional excavation to allow for
window wells?

Lipnick asks if the areas in question are on the lowest level.
Knight says we look at the structure as a whole, there is a level that is lower than these.
The applicant is represented by Dominic Mauriello with Mauriello Planning Group. Their client bought
the house as is, without the knowledge that there were spaces that were added illegally. This is a huge
issue for the owner, they are also pursuing legal actions on the private side. We are exhausting our
town here, but there are extenuating circumstances here, look at this more as a case-by-case basis.

Mauriello says it looks like a storage room right now, one of the complicating factors is that there
is mechanical space in the back of it. There has been a web of different changes to the code

from the changes to code that allowed more GRFA.
Mauriello talks about the evolution of GRFA in the Town. He addresses the variance criteria.
Tucker asks about the idea that rebuilding would grant more floor space? Would that even be
possible with wetland restrictions?
Mauriello, it is a horizontal line, not a vertical line. There are not impacts to wetlands to his knowledge.
Jensen, troubled that this was done illegally and if the PEC approved it, that would give license to others
to do it. Your arguments are significant, but as the PEC its hard to weigh in. Would like to see this go in
front of Town Council and let them address the questions about GRFA.
McBride asks when did the applicant first contact the Town to figure out there was an issue?
Mauriello says long after purchase. They submitted building permit plans, not knowing this space
was done illegally. Had it been disclosed by the seller, it would have been a different situation, the

McBride, what happens if the applicant gets a variance and wins the court case?
Rediker, does the client agree that under current code for GRFA their residence exceeds the allowable?
Mauriello confirms. Rediker says this GRFA is not conforming unless it was granted a variance.
McBride, how long did it take to an answer from the Town?
interior work.
Mauriello says they had no reason to understand that there may be unpermitted additions. He
talks about another case on Potato Patch.
Mauriello says we are to the extent that the hardship is to give fair and equal treatment to a building
with a stepped foundation against a new build.
Rediker, your client is asking us to resolve a lawsuit. He has sympathy for their situation, but are
they asking the PEC to rectify the situation?
Maureillo, when we took a step back, forgetting about the fraudulent situation, could you recognize
the law given these circumstances.
Rediker, is the inequity with the code or because of how the house was constructed?
Mauriello, the house was built before the basement deduction came into effect. People doing new
builds are able to realize more square footage through that.
exempt it could move forward.
Smith clarifies that improvements should not exacerbate a non-conformity? Knight confirms. Smith
says granting this variance would increase the non-conformity.
Roy talks about the difference between illegal and legal non-conformities.
Tucker asks about the building permit. Knight and Tucker discuss the code considerations.
Hagedorn, what is the status of the home currently?
Knight, it is occupiable, the remodel application has been stopped.
McBride, not sure this is the right vehicle for us to address this.
Rediker ask for public comment. There is none.
Rediker asks for commissioner comment.
Hagedorn, agrees GRFA definition is broken, supports a redesign of how it's spelled out, right not it

incentivizes blowing out a site. Would be in support of redefining that, wants to prevent three stories of
subterranean living space like we've seen in peer communities. At the same time, that is the best path for
your client to resolve this. We are not a policy setting body, that is council. Within that context, do see this
variance as a special privilege. The seller misrepresented at the sale, this is turning to the PEC for remedy
activities as a hardship. We would
not grant a GRFA variance with a new build, this meets criteria one and three but fails two.
the request.
support it.
Smith, concurs with others. The applicant is a victim, the community is also the victim. Limiting the size
of a residence is necessary, the applicant is not being penalized the property just needs to come into
conformity. If the GRFA rules are not creating the desired outcomes, we should amend those rules,
there is a process that is not the variance criteria. The variance would be a grant of special privilege, if
ree criteria.
Tucker, because it is case-by-case, if the opposite end is rebuilding just to maximize GRFA,
then granting some additional storage space would be allowable.
McBride, this is a private property dispute, concerned about the precedent, maybe not legal precedent,
but just because somebody gets a raw deal they can now benefit from that. Sorry the owners had to
deal with that, hopefully there is recourse in the courts. This could have been easily remedied at the
time of purchase by contacting the Town of Vail.
Rediker, we had an excellent presentation by the applicant, sympathetic to the applicant and their
situation. But we're looking at the variance criteria, one and two are not met. This would be a grant of
special privilege, no other properties would be give
after the fact by allowing the victim to seek redress here. The recourse for the applicant is civil action.

31:00 into meeting:
Planner Roy gives a presentation. He walks through the vicinity map, the history of the property, and
the applications being looked at today. He walks through the existing conditions and the proposal. He
talks about the deviations with the SDD, the proposed conditions, and about the sidewalks and the
context of the master plan. He talks about the proposed employee housing on the site.
Hagedorn asks about the sidewalk.
Roy says the Town Engineer recommends the sidewalk stays in the plan, because of the
increased density and use south of Chamonix, to prepare it for future use.
The applicant is represented by Dominic Mauriello with Mauriello Planning Group.
Smith and Mauriello discuss types of sidewalks.
Smith asks if the fire truck pullout will be maintained in the winter.
Roy says it will need to be maintained.
Smith & Roy discuss possible sidewalk configurations and possible access to the west.
Smith says a lot of this is a separate conversation from the application as far as public
way improvements.
Tucker asks about possible speed control coming out of the roundabout, especially with
increased pedestrian traffic.
Discussion about a potential condition related to the infrastructure around the project. Jensen would
like to hear more from public works.
Smith, can we ask the applicant to include a condition that all exterior lighting shall be full cutoff?
Roy says Town Code is full cutoff, they could ask the applicant if they want to go beyond that as far
as limiting the lumens.
Mauriello talks about the history of the site, the Town previously approved the SDD on two separate
occasions by ordinance. The deviations being requested were also previously approved.
Mauriello says they would be happy with condition that the applicant shall provide two pedestrian sidewalk
connections to Chamonix lane subject to DRB approval. He talks about the geotechnical report.
He talked to the hotel who lowered the lights, and they will fully address this by January 25th. They
will meet Town Code, which is full cutoff.
Smith, the concern is the lighting near the EHU building.
Mauriello, that condition is fine and it should be addressed by February.
Mauriello presents about the snow management plan. He talks about the parking study for the project.
With the West Vail Master Plan, they are even more consistent with the master plan at this point.

Rediker asks about the relief for the height on the existing building. The buildings that are being
built comply with PA-2? Mauriello confirms.
Mauriello says all the lighting is required to be cutoff so a lighting condition is not necessary.
Rediker asks for public comment, there is none. Public comment closed.
Rediker asks for commissioner comment.
Tucker, the applicant put together a good plan and addressed our concerns.
Smith, the staff memo details all the thought and requirements that went into this approval the first
time around. Being able to look back and see how it met the criteria, confident that each of the
criteria are met. Advocates to add a condition about the sidewalks. For the public, there is a lot
improvement that can be made to the public works part of it, but the public that cares about this
making on one applicant, as far as this concerned, good to go.
Lipnick, the applicant has answered our questions from last meeting. Supports the project, including
the employee housing.
Jensen, thanks applicants for addressing parking for the EHUs. Supports proposal, the parking study
validates the parking plan. Feels good about this project because it anchors the west end, start of
the west vail redevelopment.
Hagedorn, fine with parking proposal as presented, appreciates the EHU parking. There is strong

II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
The applicant, TNFREF III Bravo Vail LLC represented by Mauriello Planning Group is
requesting a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of an application to reestablish
Special Development District No. 43 (Highline Double Tree), pursuant to Section 12-9-A
Special Development (SDD) District, Vail Town Code, and a final review for an exterior

The proposal would add a new wing to the hotel in the western corner of the site. The
ground floor of this building would include parking and a conference space with three
levels of hotel rooms above. In addition, a 15 unit employee housing building is
proposed on the farthest northern side of the property which has been subdivided into a
separate lot that faces Chamonix Lane.
To accommodate these additions, the following changes are proposed to the site:
The parking lot would be restriped to include valet parking.
New landscaping would be added around the building.
A sidewalk along Chamonix Lane and Road would be constructed.
743
Town of Vail Page 3
A loading zone parking space would be added in front of the EHU building on
Chamonix Lane.
The primary access points on the site would be the same as exists today.
The vicinity map (Attachment A), applicant narrative (Attachment B), McDowell Parking
Analysis (Attachment C), Skyline Geoscience Geologic Study, (Attachment D),
McDowell Transportation Impact Study (Attachment E), project plan set (Attachment F)
and 12-23-24 PEC Meeting Minutes (Attachment G) are attached for review.
II. BACKGROUND
In 1980, the hotel was built in the County and was annexed into the town per Ordinance
No. 43, Series 1980 and then zoned CC3 within the required ninety days. The
Ordinance was later overturned by the Colorado Court of Appeals due to a lack of
contiguity. It was then annexed again with Ordinance No. 1, Series 1986 and was again
zoned CC3 with Ordinance No. 10, Series of 1986.
Over time, there have been multiple applications for small remodels or exterior
alterations. In 2016, there was an exterior alteration that allowed for restriping of the
parking lot, pool upgrades, and exterior facade upgrades to the building.
In 2019, the applicant submitted applications for a rezoning from Commercial Core 3 to
Public Accommodation 2, a Special Development District application to create a new
SDD, a minor subdivision to create the two lots, a conditional use permit for commercial
and a major exterior alteration application for the building additions and EHU building.
SDD No. 43 was recommended for approval by the PEC on April 13, 2020 and was
established by Ordinance No. 4, Series of 2020 in June of 2020. On that same day,
Ordinance No. 3, Series of 2020 approved the zone district change as well.
Per Town Code Section 12-9A-12 Time Requirements, SDD approval is only valid for
three years, during which time, initial construction must be started and be diligently
pursued. SDD No. 43 had an approval good through June 2023. However, in March of
2021 during the COVID pandemic, the applicants submitted a Major SDD Amendment
to phase the project and extend the approval timeline. The project was proposed to
have a Phase 1 of the employee housing apartment building, and the hotel related
improvements would be Phase 2. With this change, via Ordinance No. 16, Series of
2021, the approval was extended to September of 2024.
During that period, the plat was recorded separating the parcel for the EHU building,
and there were improvements to the property such as a new elevator tower to
accompany the stairs in the southeast portion of the lot and the offices on the second
floor were converted to an employee dormitory.
The PEC initially reviewed these applications at the December 23, 2024 PEC meeting.
Minutes from that meeting are attached for review.

West Vail Master Plan
Chapter 4 Goal 1 Bicycling and walking trips throughout West Vail are comfortable and
convenient due to new infrastructure and other enhancements. Currently, West Vail has
relatively limited bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, particularly off the Frontage
Roads. Adding infrastructure throughout the community can make existing trips more
comfortable and encourage people to ride a bicycle or walk more frequently. Key
elements of implementing this goal include formalizing walking paths, creating a
pedestrianoriented environment in the commercial area, pedestrian scale lighting, and
developing a connected network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
Chapter 4 Table 4.1 Project 13: Widen and extend the multi-use path/wide sidewalk that
is already planned on the east side of the road. The planned path should be enhanced
to ensure a minimum width of eight feet. The path should also extend continuously
between the North Frontage Road and Chamonix Lane. Add bicycle shared lane
markings (sharrows) on the Chamonix Road southbound lane and add signage on the
path to denote that only bicyclists traveling northbound should use the path and that
pedestrian travel is bi-directional.
Vail 20/20 Strategic Action Plan
Goal #4: Provide for enough deed-restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the
workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated development.
Address the zoning regulations to provide more incentives for developers to build
employee housing units.

SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT DEVIATIONS REQUESTED:
1. Reduction in the parking requirements for the site.
The application includes a parking study done by McDowell Engineering that looks at
the parking counts for the hotel, conference space, retail, and commercial spaces on
the property. The counts suggested do not include the EHU units or the two
independent restaurants in the hotel building. The study utilizes the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) counts as well as an onsite parking survey performed by
the property owner over a period of 11 months.
The study concludes that for the uses included in the study a rate of 0.7 parking spaces
per room will be sufficient 99% of the time. At 0.7 spaces per room that comes to a total
of 137 spaces for 195 rooms. With the restaurant seating (18.9), the dormitory (2.5),
and the EHU building (16) the total parking spaces proposed to be required is 174
spaces.
The applicant is also proposing to not enclose 75% of the parking on site as required in
the PA-2 District. With non-conforming properties any additions cannot increase the
non-conformity. As proposed the additional accommodation units would generate a
parking demand of 55 spaces. Included with the parking for the EHU the added parking
requirement is 71 spaces and only 48 spaces are being enclosed. Therefore, the
deviation requested is to have less enclosed parking than required by code.

2. Parking in the front setback.
The existing hotel has parking in the front setback which is not permitted in the PA-2
district. Rather than leave this as a non-conformity, the applicant requests this be
permitted as a deviation through the SDD.
759
Town of Vail Page 19
3. Increase in the amount of parking controlled by valet.
Town Code stipulates that
If the required parking is decided upon
as 174 parking spaces then 50% would be 87 spaces that would be allowed to be
operated by valet parking. The application is proposing to valet park 111 spaces or 64%
of the required parking, which would be 24 more spaces than the maximum allowed by
code. The application proposes to include 208 parking spaces, which exceeds the
proposed required parking (175 spaces) by 33 spaces.
4. Loading and Delivery space sizes
There are two loading and delivery spaces required with the increased size of the hotel
operation. Two spaces are provided and can be seen on sheet C2.1. these spaces are
size 12x28 feet. The minimum by code is 12x35 feet long.
5. Exception from the requirement that landscaped areas with trees cannot be
used for snow storage.
Section 14-5-2(g) does not allow landscaped areas with trees to be counted for snow
storage purposes.
6. Reduction in the amount of snow storage required.
The application proposes a total of 17,189 square feet of snow storage where 17,970
square feet is required by code. The proposed snow storage includes the grasscrete
area that is also designated parking. Without this portion of snow storage counted the
total comes out to 13,837 square feet. Possible snow storage is also impacted by the
fact that the application shows snow storage taking place in the proposed six-foot
pedestrian easement that is proposed to be dedicated to the Town. This easement
would occupy 2,535 of the proposed snow storage area.
come from the classification of the
part of the paved area, as it will be used for parking.
7. Relief from the minimum size of landscaping areas.
There is a minimum size for landscaping in the PA-2 Zone District. The Code requires
This
application wishes to be granted relief from this requirement.
8. Reduction in the amount of landscaping required.
760
Town of Vail Page 20
The minimum amount of landscaping required is 51,614 square feet. The application is
proposing to provide 50,594 square feet of landscaping and asking for a reduction in the
amount required. 3,352 square feet of grasscrete area
that is noted as landscaping.
9. Relief from the required maximum allowed driveway slope.
As an existing condition the slope of the entrance drives do not meet the commercial
requirements of 8% for centerline and 8.5% for cross-slope. Since this is an existing
condition there is no practical way to meet these requirements today without full
redevelopment of the site.
10. Relief from the side and rear setback for the recycling and dumpster
enclosure.
Due to the typical size of a trash enclosure the side setback being reduced for only this
portion would not be unreasonable. The reduction would allow for a trash enclosure to
be added on the east side of the EHU building. The deviation on the South setback is
for the existing trash enclosure that is already in place.
11. Relief from the restriction that no structure shall be built on a slope that
exceeds forty percent (40%) or greater except in a low density residential,
West Vail Multi-Family and Community Housing Zone Districts as outlined
in section 12-21-10.
Since this is a man-made condition the request to be exempted from this provision is a
reasonable deviation.
12. Building Height
The existing hotel extends up to 53 feet in height, which exceeds the maximum height
of 48 feet in the PA-2 district. Rather than leave this as a non-conformity, the applicant
requests this be permitted through the SDD.
SDD Deviations Requested:
1. Reduction in parking requirements for the site.
2. Parking in the front setback
3. Increase in the amount of parking controlled by the valet.
4. Loading and delivery space sizes
5. Exception to from the requirement that landscaped areas with trees cannot be
used for snow storage.
6. Reduction in the amount of snow storage required.
7. Relief from the minimum size of landscaping areas.
8. Reduction in the amount of landscaping required.
9. Relief from the required maximum allowed driveway slope.

Town of Vail Page 21
10. Relief from the side and rear setback for the recycling and dumpster enclosures.
11. Relief from the restriction that no structure shall be built on a slope that exceeds
forty percent (40%) or greater except in a single-family residential zone district as
outlined in section 12-21-10.
12. Building height.
Benefits:
1. $32,500 for Public Art
2. A six-foot easement for pedestrian access along the far eastern boundary of the
lot.
3. A sidewalk along Chamonix Lane and Chamonix Road.
4. Four units of the EHU building not placed in a mitigation bank and the interim
period of the remaining units before they are applied to a development
application.
VI. EMPLOYEE HOUSING PLAN
The employee housing requirement for the application results from the commercial
linkage requirement for the additional commercial space.
Type of Use Employee Generation
Rate
Employees
Accommodation Unit/
Limited Service Lodge Unit
(98)
0.6 employee per net new
units
58.8
Business Office and
Professional Office (-4,500)
3.2 employees per 1,000
square feet of floor area
-14.4
Conference Facility (4,590) 0.8 employees per 1,000
square feet of floor area
3.7
Total 48.1
With the mitigation rate of 20% for commercial linkage the applicant is required to
provide housing for 9.6 employees. They are proposing to provide that housing through
the employee dormitory constructed from the office space on the site. This could house
12 employees leaving a credit of 2.4 employees.
The 15-unit employee housing unit apartment building would utilize the mitigation bank
(12-23-7) to hold the credit for the units to utilize for a future employee housing
requirement. As part of the public benefit of the SDD four units will not be included in
the mitigation bank.
VII. REVIEW CRITERIA - SDD
Criteria: The following design criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluation
the merits of the proposed special development district. It shall be the burden of the
applicant to demonstrate that the submittal material and the proposed development plan
comply with each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is
762
Town of Vail Page 22
not applicable or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been
achieved:
1. Compatibility: Design compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate
environment, neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to
architectural design, scale, bulk, building height, buffer zones, identity,
character, visual integrity and orientation.
The proposed SDD amendment is generally compatible and sensitive to the
immediate environment, neighborhood or adjacent properties. The deviations
being requested generally do not affect the bulk and mass of the buildings
compared to what would be permitted through the zoning. The requested setback
deviations are for the existing dumpster encloser and the proposed enclosure on
the eastern side of the property. The approval of the SDD amendment would not
affect the existing enclosure in any way, and the proposed would be allowed to
project eight feet into the side setback, similar to a deck or patio.
The proposed EHU building on the north end of the lot is designed to be two to
three levels above the grade of Chamonix Lane, which is compatible and similar
to the majority of the buildings in that area.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
2. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible,
efficient and workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
The SDD does not propose a change in the use, or activity on the site.
Residential density will not be affected. There will be additional employee
housing units, but those are not counted towards density calculations. In terms of
building density as site coverage, the application proposes 36% site coverage
which would be within the maximum 40% allowed in the CC3 Zone District on
either side of this property and well within the 65% permitted by the zone district.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
3. Parking And Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements
as outlined in chapter 10 of this title.
This application proposes a deviation from the maximum amount of parking that
is allowed to be controlled by valet and to minimize the amount of parking on the
lot according to the provided parking study.
The application shows valet parking that is three cars deep on the surface
parking lot. The third row of the parking aisle is proposed to be covered by grass
pavers where the application states the area will be used for snow storage during
the winter and allow for it to be used as excess parking during the summer.
763
Town of Vail Page 23
Keeping the lot clear enough for fire access and staging could be difficult, but
with the available third row of parking the snow removal operations noted in the
applicant narrative should be sufficient.
The PA-2 zone district has a requirement that 75% of the required parking be
located within the main building. With this application there will be 48 parking
spaces located within the main building, or twenty seven percent (27%) of the
175 spaces discussed above. There are only 39 spaces being added with this
application, meaning the application does not exacerbate the existing non-
conformity, but does not reach the 75%. Staff finds this is acceptable as there is
no increase to the non-conformity.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
4. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail
comprehensive plan, town policies and urban design plans.
The application would be furthering Goal #4 of the Land Use and Development
section of the comprehensive plan as the the employee housing building would
be in addition to required employee housing to satisfy the Commercial Linkage
requirement. The applicant is proposing to build this as a mitigation bank so that
future developments do not have to provide employee housing. There are only
four units that will be excluded from the mitigation bank and can be considered a
true benefit. The benefit of the other twelve units will be temporary since those
will be credited for a requirement associated with a future development.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
5. Natural And/Or geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural
and/or geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special
development district is proposed.
There are steep slopes, hazardous rock fall, and debris flow that affects this
property. The applicant supplied a report on these hazards. The report states that
a site specific study would need to be completed for debris flow to suggest the
needed mitigation for the site, and that the rock fall hazard was low for this site. It
did not suggest a site specific study for rock fall. A condition of approval has
been added to the associated Exterior Alteration application to note the site-
specific debris flow study is to be submitted with the DRB application for the
building on Lot 2.
The applicant is seeking relief from Section 12-21-10 that does not allow
structures to be built on slopes exceeding 40%.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
764
Town of Vail Page 24
6. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space
provisions designed to produce a functional development responsive and
sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the
community.
The site plan does produce a functional development that is in line with the
aesthetic quality of the community.
The employee housing building is oriented towards Chamonix Lane with two
entrances on the street side and one entrance on the rear of the building that
faces the interior parking lot. The rear entrance allows for the residents to have
covered access when entering from the parking lot. The entrance does not
service the western units of the building but provides a covered stairway to a
heated path that leads to that portion of the building. This will be a benefit to
residents during the winter months to have an interior stairwell to avoid snow.
If residents are parking in the enclosed garage, then they must walk up the
sloped drive aisle to the building. However, having the rear access makes the
travel distance to their unit easier. For residents utilizing the valet parking they
have a designated walkway that is striped in the drive aisle to access their
building. This acknowledges the pedestrians and gives vehicular traffic an
indication that pedestrians may be present and increases the safety and
walkability of the parking lot.
The grass pavers in the third row of valet parking allows for seasonal flexibility
when it comes to the valet operations. It will allow the additional parking in the
summer and extra snow storage during the winter months.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
7. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians
addressing on and off site traffic circulation.
The application proposes a sidewalk along Chamonix Lane and Chamonix Road
that varies between five feet, six feet, and ten feet in areas. The sidewalk
improves off site pedestrian circulation resulting in a benefit to the community.
The sidewalk terminates into the property and will provide an access path to the
frontage road for those users.
The interior circulation system promotes walkability to and through the site. It
provides a way for residents and hotel users to access the frontage road
sidewalk without walking through the entrance drive. There is a delineated path
through the parking lot for residents and users going to the bus stop. The stairs
and entrance paths around the EHU building are proposed to be heated. All of
these items combined assist in creating a safer pedestrian environment.
765
Town of Vail Page 25
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
8. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in
order to optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and
function.
The SDD asks for relief from the minimum dimensions for landscaped areas to
count in the landscaping calculations. Allowing these areas, that would otherwise
not meet the minimum size requirements, allows more landscaping to be
distributed throughout the site evenly. This increases the aesthetic quality of the
landscaping on the site.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
9. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a
workable, functional and efficient relationship throughout the development
of the special development district.
The applicant has stated that the EHU building will be constructed at the same
time as the hotel addition. This will ensure that construction will be limited to a
singular time frame and will not be split between two large construction projects.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
REVIEW CRITERIA EXTERIOR ALTERATION
Section 12-7J-13, Compliance Burden, Vail Town Code, outlines the review criteria for exterior
alteration applications proposed within the Public Accommodation-2 (PA-2) zone district.
According to Section 12-7J-13, Vail Town Code, a major exterior alteration shall be reviewed
for compliance with the following criteria:
1. The proposed exterior alteration or new development is in compliance with
the purpose of the public accommodation-2 (PA-2) zone district.
PA-2 Zone District Purpose: The Pubic Accommodation-2 District is intended
to provide sites for lodges, limited service lodges, and residential
accommodations on a short term basis, for visitors and guests, together with
such public and semipublic facilities and commercial/retail and related visitor
oriented uses as may be appropriately located within the same zone district and
compatible with adjacent land uses. This District is intended to provide for
lodging sites located outside the periphery of the
Lionshead Commercial Core Areas. The Pubic Accommodation-2 District is
intended to ensure adequate light, air, open space, and other amenities
commensurate with lodge uses, and to maintain the desirable resort qualities of
the zone district by establishing appropriate site development standards.
Additional nonresidential uses are allowed as conditional uses which enhance
766
Town of Vail Page 26
the nature of Vail as a vacation community, and where permitted uses are
intended to function compatibly with the high density lodging character of the
The proposed exterior alteration is generally consistent with the PA-2 zone
short term basis outside of the main core areas of the villages. It also includes a
limited amount of commercial to support the lodging use.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
2. That the proposal does not otherwise have a significant negative effect on
the character of the neighborhood.
The proposal does not have a significant negative effect on the character of the
neighborhood. The height that is proposed as part of this application is generally
compatible with this neighborhood. As discussed in SDD criteria #1, there is a
difference between the residential zone districts across Chamonix Road and the
proposed height of the buildings in this application, however, that difference is
mitigated by the separation of the structures and the slope of the site down
towards the frontage road.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.
3. The proposal substantially complies with other applicable elements of the
Vail comprehensive plan.
The proposal supports the goals and objectives of the Vail comprehensive plan
through the inclusion of deed restricted housing and the promotion of alternative
transportation options. The addition of the sidewalk along Chamonix Lane is in
conformance with the goals of the West Vail Master Plan and Go Vail 2045
Masterplan.
Staff finds that this criterion is met.

Town of Vail Page 1
Memorandum
To:Town Council
From:Finance Department
Date:March 18, 2025
Subject:Ordinance No. 3, Series 2025, an ordinance establishing a fee for no-show fire
inspections within in the town’s short-term rental (STR) code
There have been no changes since the first reading on March 4, 2025.
I.PURPOSE
The purpose of Ordinance No. 3, Series 2025 is to amend the Title 4, Chapter 14 of the Vail
Town Code to allow staff to assess a fee to STR owners or property managers who set up a fire
inspection appointment and fail to attend the appointment.
II.DISCUSSION
In 2022 Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 11 establishing a requirement for all STRs
without a 24/7 staffed front desk to pass a life safety fire inspection every three years.
STR owners or property managers can schedule fire inspections online. Appointment slots are
made available up to nine months in advance to provide flexibility, and cancellations can be
made online up to 24 hours prior to the inspection to allow others to fill the open slot.
Appointment reminders are sent out upon booking and 24 hours prior to the appointment. Since
the fire inspection requirement has been put in place, town inspectors have experienced same-
day cancellations, cancellations within 24 hours, and no-show appointments. Currently, there
are no fees or penalties to encourage compliance with scheduled appointments.
Staff proposes implementing a $115 fee for no-show appointments or cancellations made within
24 hours of the scheduled inspection to cover the estimated staff time lost due to the
cancellation. Correspondingly, staff recommends that the owner or property manager be
prohibited from rescheduling an inspection until the fee is paid.
Does Council support adopting this new fee?
III.ACTION REQUESTED FROM COUNCIL
Staff requests that Council approve or approve with amendments Ordinance No. 3, Series 2025
upon 2nd reading.
