RE: Development Plans—North Day Lot
Dear Geoff:
Thank you for allowing me to update your board regarding our current strategies for
developing the North Day Lot, which is immediately north of The Landmark
Condominium Association's property in Vail, Colorado.
The purpose of this correspondence is to summarize the information which was recently
shared with your board, specifically;
1. The Town of Vail has agreed that large busses will not need to be
accommodated on the North Day lot site.
2. The Town continues to require that we accommodate skier drop-off for
approximately 11 vehicles and short-term parking for 5 hotel shuttles.
3. We have been unsuccessful in negotiating an employee housing solution with
the Town at their Timber Ridge property. Therefore, we are moving forward
with our original plans to develop our employee housing on the North Day
Lot in conjunction with replacement offices for the ski company.
4. Our new site plan separates ingress/egress for the underground parking from
that of the required short term parking on the surface. We accomplish this by
utilizing a new curb cut from the frontage road and bridging the bike path over
that curb cut. We believe this circulation pattern will allow us to
accommodate several drop-off spaces for The Landmark property as indicated
on the enclosed conceptual site plan.
5. We are considering the introduction of two new uses on the site, specifically a
non-skiing daycare facility and an information booth for the Town of Vail.

6. The massing of the building has been altered slightly to allow fire trucks and
other vehicles to pass under the building and move through the short term
parking area, therefore allowing a fire truck to stage on our property in
response to a fire event on either The Landmark property or The Westwind.
This strategy has not been requested or endorsed by the Town of Vail Fire
Department.
7. The preferred timing of our project is as follows:
• Submit for Town of Vail approvals, Summer 'O5.
• Commence construction documents, September—October 'O5.
• Bid the project, January—February '06.
• Commence the project, April '06.
• Complete the project, August 07.
However, we recognize that once we start our construction The Landmark
will lose its current front entry access. We are willing to postpone the start of
our project for up to one year to allow The Landmark to develop an interim
entry solution.
This constitutes a summary of what we discussed in your meeting. We are including as
an enclosure the current site plan which you are welcome to share with your membership.
As we have discussed, our plans are still preliminary and are therefore subject to change.
We look forward to receiving any further comments and we thank you again for allowing
us to update your group.
Sincerely,
V L RES TS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
