Daily Staff Wr.itcr
VAIL - Conceptual plans for
the Red Sandstone afforddble hous-
ing project will be presented at a
meeting of the Eagle River Water
and,Sanitation District next weok.
The project, which has beon in. the works since late last vear: is ajoint effort between the
-Town of
Vail and the water distrigt, (forher-
ly the Vail Valley Consolidated
Water District), ro develop a 1.2-
acre site south oFVail View Drive
with a half-acre the town received
from the U.S, Forest Service to build
l8 deed-restricted units for sale_at
one-third below market ualue. o
-InEilelffi !6EiiTilli-n-cTrtlesix
one-bedroom, six two-bedroom and
six three-bedroom condominiums.
The town is a 25 percent partner
in the project and the water district
75 percent. The homes will first be
offered to employees of Eagle River
Water & Sanitation and the Town of
Vail.
'The town will have about four or
five units,l' said Andy Knudtsen, the
town's senior housing policy plan-
ner. "We'lI start with Town of Vail
employees at first, but if there's not
enough takerq, we'll open it up to the
public."
A similar project, the Vail Com-
mons,. is currently under constirrc-
tion in a joint venture between the
City Market grocery store chain arid
the town. The towir is leasing land to
City Market in exchange for. the
development of 53 affordable hous-
ing units that were sold in a lottery
drawing this spring,
"This will be comoarable to the
Commons in that they will be deed-
restricted with a three percent cap on
appreciation and they must be
owner-occupied," Knudtsen said.
Like the Vail Commons, tne pro-
ject has not been without controver-
sy, Knudtsen said, including several
complaints from homeowners in the
nearby Potato Patch Club who feel
the project will lower their property
values. Residences in the Potato
l-Patch Club average $600,(M), whilel
I the project selling prices for the I| 1,000-square-foot two-bedroom II units on Red Sandstone Road are in \
\ tne $IZO,OOO range. )L The town expece to receive a for-
mal development application ftom
the wat€r district in July or mid-
August, which will include a iequest
to re-zonb the property frori general
use district to medium density multi-
fami ly district and a possible request
to creale a special development dis-
trict. The process'is expected to take
four to six months to complete.
Construction is slated to begin
next spring with completion expect-
ed by the fall of 1997.

Re: IntergovernmentalAgreement
Dear Dennis:
Enclosed is a signed Agreement between the Town of Vail and the lVater District. There is one matter
that was changed on page 2, paragraph 3a. The last sentence has been changed to read as follows:
WCWD and Town may, in their sole d.iscretion, offer up ts 25% of the total rmmber of the
constructed units as "ftee market" units for the purpose of reducing the cost of the remaining
units equally throughout the Project on a cost per square footage basis.
I discussed this change with Tom Braun prior to incorporating it into the Agreement. Please notify me
immediately if this alteration is not acceptable to you.
You will notice that pages 1 and 2 have been retyped in a fashion that is consistent with the layout on
page 3. I have also enclosed both of the previous pages I arrd 2.
We have kept a fully executed copy of the document with the shenge above-refereuced in paragraph a.
Please contact me with any questions or corfinents.
Very truly yours,

OF VAIL, COLORADO f'Town'), collectively refened to as ..parties".
WHEREAS, VVCWD is the coordinatlng entlty and developer of a proposed multi-unit
housing project to be used primarily for the benefit of employees in the Eagli County region
('Project"); and
WHEREAS, Town wishes to participate in the Project, and is witling to contribute an
adjacent parcel ofproperty owned or to be acquired by Town toward the project; and
WHEREAS, WCWD has determinedthat the addition ofthe Townproperty contibuted by
Town would benefit the Project by maximizing the number of housing units that could be made

benefit oflocal employees is an appropriate, necessary and valid public purpose; and
WHEREAS, Parties wish to allow for Town's participation in the Project pursuant to the
terrns and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
sufficiency of which is mutually acknowledged, parties agree as follows:
1. Conveyance of Toum Propertv. Town shall diligently pusue the acquisition of a
parcel of real property presently owned by USFS, and more particularly described on Exhibit A
which is attached and incorporated by this reference ("Tovm Property"). This Agreement is
expressly contingent upon Town's acquisition of the Town Properly from USFS. If Town is unable
to acquire the Town Property, this Agreement shall be of no force and effect. Upon Town,s
acquisition of the Town Property, it shall contribute the Town Property to the Project via special
warranty deed, prior to the issuance ofcertificates of occupancy on the project.
Z- Rezoni4g of Town Property. WCWD shall be pursuing the rezoning of the real
property that will be the primary parcel of land used in the atTordable locals'
employee housing project. Concurrently with VVCWD's rezoning efforts, Town
shall initiate rezoning of the Town Property. Town's efforts to rezone the Town
Property shall be initiated even prior to the Town's conveyance of the Town Property
to the vvcwD, if necessary. wcwD shall assume the role of the primary
proponent for the concurrent rezonings, and Town shall cooperate with VVCWD.
J.In exchange for
Town's conveyance of the Town Property to the Project, Town shali have the opporrgnity to
participate in the Project. In addition to its conveyance of the Town Property to the project, Town
shall provide a cash contribution as firnds are expended on the Project. WCW} shall maintain sole
conaol over the design and development ofthe Project, and shall, in its sole discretion, establistr the
policies and procedures under which units in the Project are leased or sold, subject to the following
general guidelines:
A minimum of 75% of the total units constructed as part of the project
(including units constructed on the Town property) shall be occupied by
individuals who are employed in Eagle County and their families. WCWD
and rown rnay, in their sole discretion, offer up to 25yo of the total number
of the consFucted units as "free market" units for the purpose of reducing the
cost of the remaining mits equally throughout the project on a cost per
square footage basis.
upon completion of the Project, Town shall be entitled to purchase, at cost,
an ownership interest in up to twenty-five percent e5%) of the units
constructed. For example, if 16 units are constructed and rown provides
25% of the Project costs, Town would receive title to 4 units upon
completion of the Project. The units to be owned by Town upon completion
of the Project shall be referred to as "Town units." The interim cash
contributions made by Town shall be applied to tle purchase of Town units.
For those units reserved for occupancy by local employees, WCWD and
Town will establish and implement a maximum cap on appreciation for re-
sales in order to ensure the long term affordability of the local employee
housing units. All units shall have a deed reshiction identicar lo ths
restrictions attached as Exhibit B
b.
d. WCWD or is designee shall have the right of first refusal on all unit resales,

shall have an equivalent right of first refusal for all Town Units.

The following informadon summarizes the major features of the local's housing project that will be
P-roPosgd for the Eagle River Water & Sanitation Disrict's (formerly tbe Vail Valley Consolidated
Water District) Red Sandstone parcel. Plans for the proposed projei:t are at a conceptual level and
to date no fonnal development applications have been suUmiaea [o the Town of Vail. As such the
information below is pretiminar5; ?rnd subjec to change as plans are refined over the coming
weeks.
Project Developer
The developer of the project is the Eagle fuver Water & Sanitation Disrict @RWSD). The Town
of VaiI is also a participant in the project. -The Town will provide a portion of the land for the
. froject.denllty of I I units per acre
-(
I 8 units -on
a total of 1.6 acres.
Unit mix of 6 one-bedroom. 6 two-Efroom ano@pproximateunit ctively.
Project Site
F9 Pto:g., site consists of nvo parcels of land which total 1.6 acres. The parcels are located along
Eed Sandstone Ro-ad opposite the Potato Patch Club and immediately north of the Aspen Tree
Condominiums. Of theiotal site area, 1.4 acres is cunentlv owned bv the.ERWSD and .4 acres is
currendy owngd by the United States Forest Service. This'.4 acre paicel is parr of a larger tract of
land that is to be conveyed by the Forest Service to the Town throdgh a hnd exchange.-This land
exchange be-ean in 199.4 and is expected to be completed by the endof this year. Upon completion
of this land exchange the .4 acre-parcel will be incorporated into the ERWSb parcef and upo'n
completion of the project the 1.6 acre parcel will be conveyed to a homeowneis associatioir.
Existing Zoning
Both.the ERWSD parcel and the Town parcel are zoned General Use District. This zoning allows
a variety. of uses subject to the approval of a conditional use permit by the Town of Vail Pl-anning
and Environmental Comraission. Examples of these uses inilude public and privare schools,
churches, public thearcrs and parking faiilities. utiliry installations includine water and sewer
treatment plants, helipads and Type itr and IV Emplbyee Housing Units. -
Proposed Development
The design of the project is beiug handled by rhe tocal arehitecrural firm of Morter Associates.
Conceprual Pl-ans for the project include four buildings and comprise a iotal of l8 multi-family
units. Major features of rhe concepmal developmeniplan includi::

o
Buitding design is characterized by a composition of one to three storybuilding forms with
flat roofs. This "stair-stepping' desip allows for visual interest and variety in building
elevations while at the sane time maintains a very low-profrle building. The majority of
each building is two-stories, or 24' in height with a small portion of each building at &rce-
stories, or 32' tall (the maximum allowable building height in the MDMF Disnict is 38').
Site access would be provided by a new driveway located approximately 60' norft of the
existing driveway to the Brooktree and Sandstone Park Condominiums. In lieu of the
existing driveway, this new driveway location will provide improved site-line distance for
cars traveling north on Red Sandstone Road.
The nroiect is deslgred as a "for-sale" pmject. [hile *re ERWSD will maintain ownership
of a small
:A-trd-claration of covenants, conditions and restrictions (CCR's) similar to CCR's for other
"free-market" multi-family projects will be established. The CCR's will address things
such as the operation of the homeowners association and other issues regarding the
maintenance and appearance ofthe project.
Relationship to Surrounding Uses and Development
The proposed project densiry of I I units per acre is muih less than the density of most
surrounding properties in the Red Sandstone neighborhood. The following table summarizes the
zoning and densiry of surrounding properties:

\t
conformance with all other development standards of tbe MDIvIF zone district. In this case, SDD
zoning will be proposed in order t6 provide the Town and the neighborhood with assurances of the
specific type, density and design of the development that will occur on the site. The SDD process
rcquires submittal of a specific site plan, landscape plan and architectural plans. This requirement
will allow the Tovrn and the neighborhood to rcview and evaluate specific elemenu of the
proposed development during the public review process for this project

Re: WCWD/TOVlntergovernmentalAgreement
Dear Tom:
First, the outline of payments suggested to Andy Knudtsen in your letter of May l,lg96 are
acceptable.
It is my understanding that with these palments, the Town will then "own" the Town units. That
understanding must be reflected in paragraph 3b. in the Intergovernmental Agreement. It now
reflects "upon completion ofthe project, Town shall be entitled to purchase, ar cosr, an
ownership interest in up to twenty-five percent (257o) of the units constructed." The following is
necessary "the interim cash contributions made by the Town of Vail shall be applied to the
purchase."
In paragraph 3c. it should state that "VVCWD and Town will establish and implement a
maximum aap on appreciation for resales in order to insure the long term affordability of the
Iocal employee housing units. All units will have an identical deed restriction which will be
similar to the restrictions attached as Exhibit 8."
These are my suggestions that I believe we agreed upon at the time we met and reviewed the first
draft of the agreement. Please check with Andy to get his suggestions.
Very truly

Dear Andy:
Attachcd vou will lind an inLer.governmental agreement that has been revised based our discussion
lasl rvcek. With thc possibilitl' of one exception, I believe this document reflects all changes
agrccd upr,rn by you, Tbm. Dennis and myself/We had discussed the possibility of addressing the
tirning of thc Tirwn's paymenls of project cosls to the District. As I recall, your interest in
ostablishing a gencral liamcwork for this payment schedule was primarily to be able to notify the
iinance department ol-whcn payments will be made. In that regard, I would suggest the following:
'Ihc Town compensatss the District at time of zoninq approval for its pro-rated share of soft ot{cr'rsts(i.e,25%ilfsoticoStS,orttreo@egotiatadwiththeDistrict,/1'*d.
that have hcen accrued liom prqect inception to time of zoning approval). ( tY" . , _
Thc Town c()mpcn\ater thc District at time of issuance <lf building permit tbr its pro-rated t \pr
share oI soli costs accrued from the time of initial payment #1 above and issuance of
building permit..l) After construction is initiated, the Tirwn will make monthly payments to the District on a
monthlv basis lbr its pro-rated sharc of proiect cosls, Paymenls will be based on actual
costs accrued during crustruction of the project.4) Within 30 days aftcr Ccrtiticates of Occupancy have been issued on all units, the District
will provide thc Tirwn with a final settlement of all project costs (hard and soft), with final
paymcntlsettleme nl of all project costs to be made within 30 days.
ll this pavment schedulc is acceptable I would suggest that letter serve as our agreement on the
trming oi payments to he made by the Town t<l the District and that we do not go the trouble of
modifying the agreement.
Lct me know whal you and Tirm think. lf thc revised agrsement is acccptable I will have the
District sign iwo crryics and forward copies to you lbr Bob McClaurin's signature. Thanks again
lilr your help with this agrecment.

As you know , there are a great number of factors ttut go into the selection of a consultant for

Thc District now intends to depan from its original plan concerning design/build. It is likely
that, once the rezoning, platting, and design process is complete, the District will put the final

To the Community ofVail:
I want to apologize to the comrnunity of Vail,,and ospecially to the good,
hardworking employees of Vail, whs have miesad my point and ttrus been insulted
by my sarcastic a$Empt to voice opporition to the choft-rited (iutposed ilemployee"
housing) project.
I drought that it would be obvious to everybody that my lettEr was mgent es an
sxtre$1g, absurd, ou$Egeous *ttempt rt gich ethnic s$d c'l$tiet humor to ovcr
exsggefale poterrtial problems Created by governrnAnt - rny and every govemment
-- messing with tire markePlace.
Too bad I ueed poor judgenent and was obnoxiously offe'nrive in voicing my
oppocition. But much worse for everybody is that Vail'r local goventment seems
deterrnined to ignore history and blindly follow the efiffie well-intended but feiled
rugds that gnlversally and inevitsbly prove to be unworkable, expensive (for
taxpaycrs) fiescos, US$_{"
It is not today'r responrible local seryicepmviders to whom I objeet being
netghbors. I know and respect rnany of them. My deughter and mrny of her
friends havE worked in Vail, The problern with thic rnilguided project is its open
errded nattuo wherein socialistic govemmcnt arbinarily mandater that the rnarket
value of there properties will ahmys be dep1ssed - ultimatcly having a ncgative
impact on the neighborhood, community and its tax base.
I sdmit the mirteke I made in fooliehly thinking that my twisted sense of etteffipted
hurnor could ehock the blind (voters and elccted oflicials) into seeing,.. that Vail is
the big lorer in thc long run.

Re: Pack 'em Inn, The Projects at Potato Patch
Dear Eagle County Commissioners, Ms. Connelly, Mr. Sackbauer:
Upon hearing of the proposed high density employee housing project under
consideration on Red Sandstone Road, we have jotted down a few reservations
and questions:
I. Would the inevitable loud rap music and clouds of marijuana smoke
adversely effect the deer, elk and wildflowers on the nearby hillside?
2. Is the current price of recycled aluminum cans sufficient to avoid a "can
jam" caused flood on the creek?
3. Can a sidewalk be constructed clear to the Frontage Road capable of
suffi c iently accommodating vast hordes of skateboarders, rollerbladers
bicyclists, and the "rolling stoned."

I-20 waming: "Idiots crossing." would you simply make thim a gate
instead of forcing'them to tear down the fence as they have further west?
5. would speed bumps on Redsand stone Road cause lowriders to rip-off
their oil pans -- polluting Gore Creek, the Colorado River and ultimatelv rhe
Pacific Ocean? What about the whales?
6. Would this oil from the lowriders running down Redsand Stone Road make
the street too slick for Emergency vehicles to get up "The projects,' to
answer rape and domestic abuse calls, carry off drug overdoses and fight
balcony fires?
7 - And regarding access and lowriders, how many legal holidays (besides
cinco de Mayo and 16th de septembre) wourd Redsand stone Road be
closed or clogged due to parades??? saint paddy's, Martin Luther King's?
June Teenth?? when does it end, the closures that is - cinco de Mayo
Parades seldom go far, but can last a long time...
8. wiil each employee/resident be required to own his own set ofjumper
cables? Will their be onsite tire repair?
9. which brings up the question of how many tires, batteries, appliances and
dogs will be allowed on each unit's porch or balcony?
10. And speaking of dogs, will there be a reasonable limit of... say 10... per
unit? Will the boys' roffwielers and the girls' huskies and dobermans chase
away the elk and deer on the nearby hill? or, since we already scared them
away with music and smoke, will the dogs be over at the Potato Patch Club
hunting for small children and making yellow snow?
Page 3
1 l. Also, will there have to be an onsite tamale mbker to control the population
of cats? Are there Federal Guidelines on proper Dog/catlRat ratios? Do
rats have civil Rights like dogs and cats? will they all get their own
Federal Holiday?
12. And speaking of rats and hordes of "diverse" people living in close
quarters, does bubonic plague negatively impact the tax basis?
13. Are the police going to have a substation in "The Projects" in order to be
closer to the action? Or maybe they would like to rent a Potato Patch Unit
across tlre street -- provided they could stand the neighborhood. (The Town
of Vail would likely be too smart to buy real estate for a police station in a
deciining neighborhood.)
l'4. Finally, does the downgrading of this site from sewer collection to high
density employee housing require an Environmental Impact Study?
On the positive side, you wouldn't have far to go for tamales or ... to buy back
your stolen skis.

Dear Ms. Connelly:
I am writing at this time, as a Sandstone Park condominium owner, to express my deep concern over the
proposed use for employee housing of the parcel of land directly to the east of Sandstone Park which is
now controlled by the Vail Valley Consolidated Water District. To construct housing on this site in the
density described in a recent article in the Vail paper would, without question, lead to significant noise
and traffic problems along Red Sandstone Road and would detract in a very significant way from the
value and appeal of condominiums presently located in Sandstone Park and the Potato Patch
Developments. The very purpose of zoning ordinances in communities is to prevent commercialization
ofpreviously designated desirable residential areas, and it is beyond my comprehension how a project
such as the one described could possibly be approved by the authorities of Vail and Eagle county who
have jurisdiction over such matters. Mr. Bilt Sargent is keeping all owners of Sandstone Park
condominiums up to date on the proposed use of this parcel of land and certainly has the fulI backing of
our condominium associalioilejojrabateveljsxecessary to preven! the typ€ of project recently
described from moving fonvard. I wanted you to project
-
and rhe fact that I rv-illEffi-frillTuand the fact that I rvill certainly support Mr. Sargent and the other members of our condominium
association in resistins the use of this parcel of land for a proiect which clearlv the Dresent zoninlzorungject which c
Thank you for your consideration of my concems in this mattern and if you would like to discuss it
further with rne, please feei free io coniact me.

Dear IVIs. Connelly:
I have been a homeowner at Potato Patch Club since 1991 and vas recenlly
informed of the proposed VVCIFD/T0V housing developmeflt plan on Red
Sandstone Road. !ilhile I am sympathetic vith the currenl shortage of
employee housing in Vail, I cannot help but concern with the negative
impact vour project may have on the long term value of our properties. I
would strongly urge you to consider the follow issues in planning and
designing for this projecf:
I ) Given the volume of automobile/pedesrrian/biking traffic on Red
Sandstane Road and the existing blind curves, the residents in this
neighborhood are already iacing increasing risks of serious tratfjc accidents
without your project Hence, you should consider a northern entrance to rhe
sile, eg. from Vail View Drive. and also videning of Red Sandstone Road as
part of your project and town development.
2) Development of ihis site must complement the surrounding
neighborhood in terms of densify, unit size and market value, architectural
designs, quality of construction, height restriction, location of guest parking
facitilites, easeEent footage to Red Sandslone Road and general landscaping.
![e look forward to seeing your conceptual sketches of development
alternatives and to the opportunity of giving you, VVCWD and Braun
Associates our input and comments at an early stage of your planning and
design process.

Dear Ms. Connelly:
Although my wife and I have felt that Vail needs to construct adequate employee housing,
I do not believe that the proposed housing project on the 1.2 acre parcel along Red
Sandstone Road across from Potato Patch Club should be used for that purpose.
The Vail Valley Consolidated Water District sbould reconsider the proposed mission of
the development; and stated goal "to have a quality project which controls costs to the
greatest extent in order to make the project as affordable as possible." This proposal is
filled with problems from the conception.
The article stated that the project could include 12 to 20 townhomes and may include
condominiums. The issues of heavy traffic, noise, sharp curve and safety problems already
exist on Red Sandstone Road needless to say the possibility of additional traffic presents
serious safety issues. Additional issues to consider include surrounding property values,
aesthedcs, density and enironmental impact.
I strongly recommend that the 1.2 acre parcel proposed project be canceled.

Dear Susan:
I have been advised of the proposed housing development plan along Red
Sandstone Road across from Potato Patch Club, on the parcel owned by the Vail Valley
Consolidated Water District.
I want to express my opposition to this plan in the strongest terms possible. ln
fact, I feel it would be a real breach of faith to remove the restrictions that now prevents
residential development on that land. As the Potato Patch Club owner with property
closest to the proposed development, my property would be affected more than any
other in Potato Patch. Prior to purchase of 18 Potato Patch Club years ago, I inquired as
to the potential use of that land across the street and was assured that its ownership was
by the Water District, and with the zoning restrictions it could not be used for other than
its current purpose. lt was only with that information and assurance that we purchased
the property-and that was a key factor. lf I had thought there was the possibility of
housing development across the street, I would not have purchased the property.
Now I am informed there may be between |2-20 townhouses and possibly even
condominiums built on that comparatively small area. I cannot accept such a change
withoul objecting in the strongest terms to any change in zoning. I purchased my Potato
Patch property in good faith and feel very much let down that there would be serious
consideration given to making such a zoning change.
In the interest of fairness, I respectfully urge the Town of Vail, the Water District,
and the Eagle County Commissioners to retain zoning of that land as it is now.
Best regards.

Vail, CO 81,657
Dear Larry,
.Tl*"k you for alerting us to the plarured Vait Valley
Consolidated Water Dishict project As property owners,'
we are very concerned about rhe proposed use of the Land
parcel-
Although we have long felt that the town of Vail has
neglected to adequately plan for employee housing as the
town has continued to glow both in sizl and in coi,me.c",
we do not believe that the proposed stte should be used for
that purpose.
_ Tobetrn with,,the Vail Valley Consolidared Water
District should reconsider the proposed mission of the
developnent, and the stated goalt'to have a quality project
wNch controls costs to the greatest extent possibleLin or'der
F F"kg the project as affordable as possible-" This proposal
is fraught with problems from the triglming maki.ig rhjs
stated goal almost an oxymoron.
Secondly, the fact that the units may be available to*
persons- who are not district emplovee-sTEires theJIIiEE-
reason tor tfie development, and produces additional
concefns.
Thirdly, the indication Urar if the district d.ecided
to sell the units rather than lease them, according to
Brar.rn "titles will contain deed restrictioru limitiig rnarket
value appreciation ro keep the units affordable foi
subsequent buyers." This procedure of limiting market

to the value of the stmounding properties and
owrers.
Finally, according to the artide, "The project couid
indude 12 to 20 townhouses and may indude condo- '
miniums" - a proposal rvhich is not only insensitive to
the size of the parcet of land but one which also biatantly
disregards the existing neighborhood and raises enough
red flags to cover the entire proFerty (!) induding safetv,.
property values, aesthetics, densit_v and
impact. to name a ferv.

I urge you to move quickly and to be forceful in
communicating on our behalf, and to be very clear on
the mr:ltitude of reasons for denying this project and
recoruidering the land's use.
Please let me know to whom we should send a
separate letter stating our concerns, particularly who from
arnong the Eagle County Commissioners and the VailValley
Consolidated Water District we should be addressing.
Please also let me knolv vrhen and how Dick and I can be of
more help to you.

Vail. C{) uI6.57
RL: VVCWD Local's l{ousine Proicct
Dcai Andy:
As wc have discussed ovcr thc past t-ew last wereks, the Vail Valley Consolidated Water District
(WCWD) is vcry interested in incorporating the USFS/IOV parcel into our local's housing
project. Bef<rre we hegin design work however. we will need to have a letter of understanding
with thc Town outlining the terms under which thc Town will arnvey this parcel to the WCWD.
Thc following summarizes <lur "proposal" klr the Town's involvement in this projecl and the use
ol the USFSITOV rrarccl:
l) As developer ol the project, thc VVCWD will mainlain all control over the design and
devekrpnrent program ot- the pnrject. Thc property will be developcd as a "local's" housing
pruject and will include decd restrictions which will require, among other things, unil
occupancy by locals and appreciaticn limits on unit re-sales. The WCWD may, at their
discretion. includc r limited number of free-market units within the pr<rject (the number of
liee market units nol to exceed 25% of the total numher of units conslructed).
l) Thc WCWD will work with the fbwn to establish an agrecment lbr the TOV Housing
Authoriry to cnttrrclr decd restrictions and administer the salc of units.
.j) Tht: VVCWD may either sell or rcnt the units, provided however, that the rental of any unit
shall comply with applicablc deed restrictions regarding requirements for occupancy by
!ocals.
1) The VVCWD or their assigns will maintain a "tirst righl of refusal" on all unit re-sales.
When thc VVCWD does not excrcise this "tirst right of refusal",, the WCWD will make
units availahlc lbr sale to the general public through the Jbwn's lottcry system.
5) Thcr TOV agrces to initiate the re-arning process ol thc USFS/TOV parcel concurrent with
the VVCWD's application to re-zone the Red Sandstone parcel. It is understood that the
VVCWD rvill act as thr: proponcnt of this re-zoning and that this proccss will be initiated
prior to thc conplclicrn of thc land exchangc with thc USFS.

6)ln consideration tbr providing the USFS parcel, the WCWD will offer the Town of Vail
the opportunity to becomc an equily partner in the project by providing up-front project
constructi<ln fundiru in exchanse for outrisht title to units constructed and a oeroetual "and a perpetual "firstconstructi<ln funding in exchange for outright title to units co
right of relusal" on -said units. For exampie, if 16 units are cif 16 units are constructed and the Town
provides 25o/o of the project costs, the Town would receive title to four (4) units at time of
project completion. At their discretion the Town could either maintain owne$hip of these
lbur units. designatc qualitied buyers (i.e. TOV employees), or put the units up for sale
through thc Town's l,ottery system.
As you arc prtlbably aware, the VVCWD ean movc tbrward with a very viable project utilizing
Parcel D only. However, incorporating the USFS parcel into the project will result in the greatest
number of housing unils and in doing so provide the grcatest community benefit. It is our hope
that wc can rcach agrcement with the statf and the Town Council in order to capitalize on what
appears io bi: an exccllcnt opporluniiy to maximizc thc nulnber of liousing units that can be
conslructcd on these parccls. Pat Dauphinais and I will look forward to discussing this proposal
with you and the Town Council on March 19th.
Assuming the Council is amenable to the gencral terms outlined above, I would like to work with
vou and Tom Moorehead to prcpare a more formal intergovernmenlal agreement belwe€n the Town
and the VVCWD and rcturn to the Council for their formal approval on March 26th. I would then
anticipate that the WCWD Board will act on the agreemenl at their board meeting on March 28th.
Thank you tbr your help with this project.

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS AND STATEMENT OF INTEREST FOR
THE DESTGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A "LOCALS' HOUSING PROJECT
The Vail Valley Consolidatod Water District (WCWD) is interested in retaining design/build
services tbr the dcvelopmsnt oi a local's housing project. The tbllowing describes the
devclopment concept. the approach to this project, a description of the development site, criteria to
be used in selecting a design/build team. a tentative project schedule and other intbrmation relative
t() this project.
DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT and DEVELOPMENT TEAM
Thc WCWD owns a parcel of land that has been identified as a surplus parcel of land no longer
csscntial to the operation ol the WCWD's watcrsystem. The VVCWD is interested in utilizing
this parcel tbr the dcvelopment of a local 's housing project. It is anticipated that the project will
crtnsist of approximately l4- l8 townhome or condominium units which will be sold or rented to
locals who live and work in the Upper Eagle Valley or Eagle County. It is the VVCWD's goal to
design and build a quatity project which controls costs to the greate$t extcnt possible in order to
makc thc project as atfordablc as possible.
The VVCWD has had preliminary discussions with three other parties that may participale in the
deve lopmenl o1'this pr<rject. These parties include the Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated Sanitation
District. the Town of Vail and Vail Associates. At such time an agreement is reached between
thesc parties. it is anlicipated that a sub-committce will be tbrmed thatwill be responsible for
detining the dcvekrpment program and the on-going management of this pro3ect.
APPROACH TO PROJECT
Managing deveklpment costs will be a critical eleme nt of maintaining the allbrdability of this
local's housing pnrject. Thc VVCWD has selectcd a designlbuild approach as the most effective
and eiTicient mechanism lirr contrcllling cosls during the design and construction of this project.
Thc VVCWD is intercstcd in retaining the services of a design/build team comprised of a
crlnstruction company. an architcctural firm and other sub-consultants as may be necessary for this
pro;ect. The VVCWD is vcry intcrestcd in a design/build team that can provide "turn-key" sewices
tilr the dcsign and construction of this prqect.
The term "designihuild team" is used throughout this RFQ. The use of this term is not meant to
preclude a design/huild firm (one in which design and construction services are provided by one
organization) tiom submitting a response to this request,
DESCRIPTION OF DEVELOPMENT SITE
Ret'errcd to as thc Red Sandstone parce l, thc project site is located in the Tbwn of Vail on Red
Sandstone Road directly across fiom the Potato Patch Club. The property in 1.2 acres in size and
is currently zoned Generat Use. A topclgraphic survey of the propeily has been completed and is
available tbr review at the oftices of the WCWD.
The Town of Vail is negotiating a land exchange with the United States Forest Service (USFS) for
a parcel ofland contiguous to the Red Sandstone parcel and the Town has indicated an interest in
rncorporating this parcel into this project. The Town of Vail parcel is approximately .25 acres,
hringing the total development site to approximately 1.45 acres. The final development plan and
construction schedule tbr this project may need to be phased depending upon when the Town
obtains title to the USFS parcel.
DESIGN/BUILD TEAM SELECTION PROCESS
Thc VVCWD is interesled in proposals tiom experienced design/build teams that can demonstrate
successt'ul completion of design/build projects and affordable housing projects.
The VVCWD. or a sub-committee appointed by the WCWD will review all responses and based
upon its discretkln and judgement will select the design/build team or teams deemed most suited for
this project. It is anticipatcd that interviews will be conducted with one or more teams and based
()n thcse interviervs. a linal design/build team will be selected by the VVCWD. WCWD will then
cnter into contract ne gotiations with the selected design/build team. [f contract negotiations are
unsuccesslul, the VVCWD reserves the right to terminate negotiations and initiate negotiations with
()nc or morc of the other respondents. VVCWD also reserves right to reject all responses to this
request.
TENTATIVE PROJECT SCIIEDULE
It is thc VVCWD's dcsire to begin construction on this project during the summer of 1996. The
tolkrwing outlincs a tentative schedule lbr the selection of a design/build team and the design of
this project:
February 16. t996 RFQdistributed

COMMENTS:
Transportationto and ftom work
Mongage on house.
Low interest rate.
More money.
Subsidized rental units - if they were in Eagle-vail Vail, Edwards or Avon. Not share aparunetrt
with someone from UEVCSD ( neighbon are okay)
Dog has to live there withme.
Less rent than I am paying now.
What would be my rnadmum percent to earn in selling it?
What arc my obligations to the Disrrist?
Do I have to sell it back to the Disria?
What are monthly paynrents?
What about down payment?
Could we sublet?
Pahaps assist errplryees in searing a loan - where is averag€ Joe going to get $20, 000 to $30,000
for a down paym€nt?
A raise?
Grocery coupons, galt coupons, perhaps a monthly housing strpcnd. Pickup other expenses (ski
pass, health club)
The District is really out oftouch with actr:al mst of living here, I really think asking peopie to move
to Eagle/ Gypzurn is ridiculous.
What about transportuion assistance? We live in kadville because we could not aford to live in the
Vail Valley, but now we have trouble with getting to work especially in the Winter. How about bus
passes or car pool vans?
Grant me, as a firlly vested employee in good standing with the District, equal assistance with rny
mortgage and living exPenses as you would the "new hires". Let th€re be no discrimination.
Second mortgage to help finance child's college education and purchase of vehicle (with interest tax
dedrtible). For those of us who have found housing while housing costs af,e manageable, we live
35+ miles away and transportation costs are very high.
Rental costs in the Valley are oufiageous and for those of us who cannot aford a down paymenq
rentals are IMPOSSIBLE due to ludicrous rents and an pet utrfriendly atmosphere. I *iU t a.ru toleave UEV and the Valley u the end ofNovenrber and go back to Denver if something doesnt come
uP sooL That REALLY ticks me ofr I love this Valley and I love UEV, and fm ver! ."r"omtt ttrutthe "dig me's" make it so diffcult to live herel
Please note this questionnaire doesnt cover all questionVconcerns and we feel there are more iszuesthrt need to be asked to employees
lP .,rtt*,ry gding sqtrcezed out ofthe Vail area My renr ts 3T/o of my salary. It goes up at least
$25 per mo/per yr. which is an 18% increase. Our cunent COLA increase is onty z"Z. e riralCnun
raise is only 5%. I necd a new car and if mine w€re to fail, it woutd titerally put mi underl Enployee
lo*iog may be my only chance at staying in this expensive Valley. I lovanry job aod *o"ld;dlt
like to stay.
Subsidized rent or firancing to buy dwelling of choice. I prefer prirracy aad do not wish to liye
aqnvhere nesr my co-workers.

Tom Braun reviewed survey.
l0 - 12 townhomes could be built based on conceotual sile plan
Possibly another five townhomes ifUSFS/TOV land can be used.
Town likely to contribute land (after LOA is complete) for Phase II.
To start SDD process, must have USFS signature on application.
SDD process iesired as units will not coniorm e*acfly il the allowed EHU's in the existing zone district. In addition, if
free market units are needed, SDD process is a must.
Disfict may desire to sell a few at market rato to cover costs of EHU'S.
Market rate units will be as few as possible and may be none.
District wilt tako lead in development. Will hire a desigo/build team to handle design and consffuction.
Disfict to contribute land at no iost to prospective puchase. ( To be confirmed by Water Board).
District will sell townhomes a1 cost of development-- hard and soft cosls.
Project will be revenue neutral- no loss or gain to District or TOV
$1i0 per square foot was zuggested as a target price.
Vail Commons construction cost and sales cost at $109 per square foot.
District agrees to deed restrict ali EFIU's with TOV deed restiictions, inciudrng 3% cap on appreciation and TOV resale
methods, including use of iottery process to select potential purohasers.
District has funds io cover all cortstruclion costs. No construction financing will be required. As a result, cost of
development will be reduced, benefitting the prospective purchaser.
TOV may end up owning one unit out of the development. District may also.
TOV primary concern: credibility of housing program. Quality and consistency are key'
TOV and District want to capitalize on momentum of Vail Commons.
Follow up:
1 TOV to get USFS signature on SDD application.
2. TOV staff to discuss concepts with Council at 1-2-96 executive session.
Futurc steps:
1 Select design/bui1d team (District to take lead, consulting with TOV).
2. District to develop drawings.
3. District to submit SDD application.

Meeting notes from Council Discussion January 2, 1996
Overall support for project. Some discussion and interest to
Create smaller types of units,
Provide a variety of unils,

Contribution of TOV/USFS parcel as Phase II is acceptable.
End noles from 112/96.

RE: Employee Ifousing Sites
Dear Council Members:
_ _] am writing on behalf ofthe unanimous Board ofDirectors ofthevail valley consolidated water District. we share yo'r concern withemployee housing in.the_vail valley. withthe up#Eagle vaileyconsolidated sanitation District, *" h"rr" deveroped an in-creasing'
concern over our ability to attract, retain, and have available near ourfacilities in emergencies, high quality personnel.
we have some sites available. since we have been regionarizingour facilities, some water treatment facility sites have becom-e surplus.Two of the more likely and appropriate parcels lie in the Red sandstone
area and adjacent to Black Gore creek in East vail. Enclosed are sitemaps on these two properties.
It seems to us there axe two viabre alternatives to deveroping
employee housing on these sites: (l) we do it; or (2), you do it. Itfurther seems to us that ygu are better suited to aeveioping these
properties, because of your broader interest in fosterini eiployee unitsin the Valley.
, Alcordingly, we offer these sites to you. We estimate thevalue of these sites to be in excess of $1.0 milion. we ask that you
consider and respond to this offer as soon as possible so that we may,
^ (*k,-rNy'
o_.,"

r tH'#
Iif necessary, pursue the alternative. We request that the Sanitation District
employees be able to participate in the project. We also request that construction
begin in a reasonable period of time (say, one year). The conditions of
conveyance can be worked out in the next few months, but we need to know ofyour interest now.
Again, we take no exception if you do not accept this offer. we simply haveconcluded that you have the energy and commitment, and will have ttr"
"*penise,-requiredto develop a successful project. we ask that you concepnrally ucc"pt ttreoffer within 30 days or allow us to proceed otherwise.
Thank you in advance for your consideration ofthis offer. Please contact
me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Concerns from Jim Lamont of the East Village Honreowners Association included his feeling that theproposed site had been originally designated for employee housing. He said tne proieciwas a conversionof open space, and then suggested other adjacent open space sitds oe useo ioi ;"ib;;il"od parks. Heasked Council to consider eipanding Sanditone Pirk, ai he felt it was over utilized, and suggested thatanother park be constructed. Lamont said he was disappointed with the allocation of the water District,sunits and the portion to be sold to the free market. Anotirer suggestion was that a sidewalk be put in atongSandstone Drive to make the area safer.
Red sandstone resident, Dan Telleen, reiterated the importance of sidewalks due to the dangerous curbsalong Red Sandstone and asked Councilto address the issue.

Bill Braun then informed Councilthat the site wasvery difficult because of the steep grade changes, and stated that including a siaewati would narrow thefeasibility of doing the project.
Mayor Armour expressed his support of the project and its positive aspects such as less GRFA and sitecoverage than allowed, and increased parking and landscaping. PaulJohnston stated he was unable tosupport the project because of its architectural design. A vote-was taken and

Dear Bob and Council:

8il A. l'
d
Aw7'
I understand that guestions have been raised about the Town of Vail Landownership Adjustment
Analysis (Vail LOAA) and its impact on the Red Sandstone locals housing development. lwould like
to clarify the purpose of the LOM. lt is a planning document for the Forest Service to use in identifying
lands which we would like to either acquire or convey. A July 1990 letter from the Forest Supervisoi
stated, in pan: The principal purpose of the landownership adjustment analysis is to achieve the
optimum landownership pattern for the Forest."
The Vail LOAA was unique in that it was recognized early in the process that the Town of Vail could
play a malor role in the rearrangement ol landownership to achieve goals of both the Forest Service
and the Town. Town planners assisted the Forest Service in identifying specific parcels of land that
should be exchanged, resuhing in a much more detailed analysis than the Forest Service typically
requires.
To further clarify the purpose of the LOM, it is not to make any decisions about the future manage-
ment of lands once they are acquired by the Forest Service or conveyed to other ownership.
Deed-restricted locals housing or free market housing are potential uses of land once it is exchanged,
that would not conflict with the Vail LOM. ln fact there are no actions the Town could take to
jeopardize the Vail LOM, since it is simply a planning document for us to use in making initial
deterininations about the desirability of a proposed land exchange.
Public lands managed bythe Forest Service orthe Bureau of Land Management have been identified
by many local, state and Federal officials as having the potentialto contribute to the solution of a lack
of housing near resort communities. We are pleased to be a partner in the team creating solutions
for locals housing.
Please contact Kathy Hardy should you have any further questions.

Vail Town Council
R. Thomas Moorhead, Town Attorney /fJ\
December 12,1996
Red Sandstone Local Housing
I am providing the following information in response to legal issues that were raised by Jim Lamont,
Executive Director of East Village Homeowner's Association, Inc. by letter to the Town Council
dated December 2, 1996.
At the Council work session on December 2, 1996, I reviewed in detail the discussion that occurred
in Town Council sessions on March 19, 1996 and July 9, 1996. lbelieve it is unnecessary to
restate in detail the content of those meetings. lf anyone has any questions regarding those
discussions, I would be pleased to respond to such an inquiry.
Land Ownership Adiustment Agreement There is no provision in the agreement which restricts
the property from the change in zoning that is being considered or the development as preseqted
with or without free market units. l
The Town of Vail is conveying to the Forest Service the parcel of land known as Trapper's Run.
This land is presently zoned hillside residential, is located within the Town of Vail and was beingproposed for extensive development of approximately 31 dwelling units. This property, which ii
appraised at approximately $3.6 million for the purposes of the exchange, will be deeded to the
Forest Service without restriction. lt has been agreed that upon conveyance to the Forest Service
this property will be de-annexed from the Town of Vail.
Likewise, the property that is being received by the Town of Vail, and the Red Sandstone site in
particular, is not being received with any restrictions. The zone change that is being suggested for
the property will, as previously discussed in Council, provide for a more acceptable oJvelopment
consistent with the neighborhood where it is located. This site was identified in the 1994
Comprehensive Open Lands Plan as appropriate for employee housing. The medium density
multi-family zoning is consistent with the Town of Vail's 1994 Land Use plan.
Ofice of the Tbwn Anorney
{S *"r*"uo roro
The housing that is being contemplated in the Red Sandstone proposal is not described in Chapter
18.57 Employee Housing. This is also true with the housing that the Town of Vail has developed
in the Vail Commons project. There is no requirement in the LOAA nor in any other Town of Vail
regulation that requires a size limitation on the housing developed on this or any other parcel which
comes into Town of Vail ownership as a result of the LOM.
At all times during the discussion of this development, we have worked very closely with the Forest
service and have had their approval for the development that is being proposed.
Additionally, there is no restriction in the LOM that inhibits or restricts the transfer of ownership
from the Town of Vail to private parties. In fact, it has been contemplated throughout the
discussion of the LOAA that properties would be transferred into private ownership.
Deed Restriction on Water District Propertv: There was a deed restriction on the Water District
property that has been properly removed by the Eagle County Commissioners. The Town of Vail
was not a party to this deed restriction. The Town of Vail does not, nor does it have the authority
to, enforce private deed restrictions or covenants. The removal of this deed restriction was the
obligation of the Water District and it has been accomplished by the Water District as reflected in
the permanent records of the Eagle County Clerk & Recorder.
Zonino Amendment The Town of Vail, through the Community Development Department, and
in conjunction with the Water Distrist as a co-applicant, has met the requirements of the Town of
Vail ordinances for the zoning amendment being requested.
State law requires that any zoning change must either be in compliance with the Master plan,
which this requested amendment is, or there must be some change in the conditions of the
neighborhood to support the zoning change. lt has been discussed and evidence has been
presented that the project in question conforms to the conditions of the neighborhood.
It has been suggested that the action taken by Council in this instance constitutes contract zoning.
There is no Colorado case which raises contract zoning as an issue or has held any municipll
action as invalid based upon contract zoning. King's Mill Homeowners Association vs. City of
Westminster, 557 P2d 1186 (1976).
I will be happy to respond to any additional issues on which Council needs additional information.
Thanks.

Analysis ofthe costs of home ownership
December 4. 1996
Assumptions
Privatc Mortgagc Insurancc (PMI)
$45 per month for every $100,000 of mortgage
Home Owners Association
$ I 50 per unit per month
Bob Warner estimated that Vail Commons HOA dues would be approximatcly $130 per
month per unit to cover trash, water, insurance, landscapc maintcnance, snow plow
scrvice, a re$crvc, managcment, etc. I raiscd thc amount by $20' due to the fact that Red
Sandstone will not havc thc economies of scale that Vail Commons has.
Interest Rate
75% is thc going ratc today, per Arch Wright at First Westem
Front end and Back end ratios
The analysis below reflects a front end ratio of28Vo. This is a very conservative factor, as
Arch reports that many loan packages he can provide offer a much greater degrce of
flcxibility, including front end and back end ratios as high as 40o/n. Front end ratios set
the percentage of gross income a lender will allow a borrow to use for housing costs
(including HOA, PMI, taxes, insurancc, principal and interest, etc.) The back end ratio
sets the percentage of gross income that can bc allocated to cover the total debt of a
borrower. Obviously, we have little control over the amount of total debt a potential
homcowncr dcsircs to carrv,
Taxes
Eagle County Assessor's office provided the following annual tax rates, based on the
location (Sandstone Area) and based on 1996 tax rates.
$105,000 $550i yr
S140,000 $134lyr
$205.000 51074lyr
$46/mo
$61/mo
$90/mo
Second income
Dual income household are frequently required in order to sccure a mortgage. (Not
necessarily good, but a fact-o-life.) I assumed a spouse income supplementing a TOV
income of $ l0/hour or $ I 733lrno.

Analysis of the costs of home ownership
December 4,1996
Assumptions
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)
$45 pcr month for every $100,000 of mortgage
Home Owners Association
$150 per'unit per month
Bob Warner estimated that Vail Commons HOA dues would be approximately $130 per
month per unit to cover trash, water, insurance, landscape maintenance. snow plow
service, a reservc, management. ctc. I raised the amount by $20, due to the fact that Red
Sandstone will not have the economies of scale that Vail Commons has.
Interest Rate
7 .5o/o is the going rate today. per Arch Wright at First Western
Front end and Back end ratios
The analysis below reflects a front end ratio of}8Vo. This is a very conservative factor, as
Arch reports that many loan packages he can provide offer a much greater degree of
flexibility, including front end and back end ratios as high as 40Vo. Front end rafios set
the percentage of gross income a lender will allow a borrow to use for housing costs
(including HOA, PMI. taxes, insurance, principal and interest, etc,) The back end ratio
sets the percentage of gross income that can be allocated to cover the total debt of a
borrower. Obviously, we havc little control over the amount of total debt a potential
homcowner desires to carry,

RE: Operr Space/Atrordable Housing Issues
In February 1996 a proposal was made public to develop a 1? unit affordable housing proj-
est o'n a site adjacent to Red Sandstone Creek, west ofthe Potato Patch Club. The prgposal was -
made by the Vail Valley Consolidated Water Disnid in conjurrction with the Toum of Vail.
_ Theprecedent beingestablished bythis proposal ofconverting openspace forthepurpoae/
of consiructing affordable housing has caused the Homeowners Association to closely monitoied the
public hearing process. ln reoent weeks several issues harre been brought to the afiention oftlrc As-
socialion regarding aspects ofthe proposal and the review proc€ss.
The issue of primary concern is the demonshat€d need to convert this ope,lr space site to de-
velopmenl of affordable housing. As impstaot" is the integrity ofthe review procesf as well as the
standards and conditions under which open space lan& are converted to the development ofaffmd-
able housing.
The development site is composed oftwo parcels, 1.24 acres ownedbythe Wafer Distri*
and 0.40 acre presently owned by the Uniled States Forest Service (USFS} Tire USFS parael is to be
acquired by the Town ofVail tlnough the Federal land Exctrange proces$. The applicants are seek-
ingto upzone the sites from General Use (G{-i) to Medium Density Muhipte fanrifu gvfOUf; over-
laying it with a Special Development Dishict.
- _ The Gen€ral Use (Gu) zone district appliesto Ford Park and other sites tkoughout Vail Vil-
lage. Employee housing units are allorved as a conditirnal use on each oftlrese sites.
The Horneowners Association has a long Sanding concem with the condust ofpublic poliry
as itrelates to fair and equal treatment ofall property ownerq the preservation ofopen space,'the
-
conduct of good govemance and the equal application ofthe law. Atl are issues raised by this pro-
posal. The gravity and precedent setting nature ofthe issues obliges the Association to presenfi itt
view with regards to the matter under consideration by the Town Council.
Opens Space Issues: Atthetime ofthe public announcefi€Nrt in Feb,ruary, development of
the Water Districtb portior ofthe site was prohibited by a deed restrictionrhat prohibited "human
occupation" ofthe site. The deed restriction was placed on the site in l9?3 at the insistence ofthe
Town of Vail. The site was used as a location for a waler treatment and storage facility for a local
water distrist. The position taken by the Vail Town Council in the 1970's was to insure ttrat ifne
water distric't's facilities were abandoned the site would rernain as open space or be available as a
site for a neighborhood park.
_ Wim rytpt"t to the pending proposal, to date the Towr Staff has provided no research nor
sufficient justification, within the conte:il of the deed restxiction, for conversion oflhe present open

space use to development of affordable housing. It appears that a complete research ofthe tov,n or
Eagle County records conceming the source and purpose ofthe deed reslrictions was not undertaken
by the Tov*n Staff Similarly, it appean lhat the underlyingjustification for pnoposed development
ofthe site as muti-family residential found in the 1984 [.and Use Plan does not ieference the Lxis-
Mopted in early 1994, the Comprehensive Open lands Plan idelrtifiesthe Water Dishict's
portion ofthe site as low priority for open space acquisition The plan states, " Upper Eagle Valley
Consolidation Water and Sanitation District willirgto sell or swap land. May have value as ein-
ployee housing. (RETT [Real Estate Transfer Tax] funds would not be used if future use is em-
ployee housing)" The foundation and premise for this conclusion does not appear to be readily
apparenl inthe comprehensive plan
Conversion of Federal Open Space Lands to Developmcnt In the Spring of 1994, the
Tovm of Vail approved the lanrl Ownership Adjustment fureem€nt (ICIAA). The agreeme,lrt pro-
vides a list of properties that the Town of Vail may acquire from the Unites States Forest Servici.
The agreement provides for a stipulation that all lands acquired by the Toum ofVail are used for
public purposes such as open space, employee housing (per the Tovm of Vail employee housing
ordinance), recreation or for the resolution ofunauthorized uses [encroactnnentsJ.
Importantly, the applicants and the Tov*n staffhave proposed an upzoning forthe Federal
land portion ofthe site that does not conform to the reshictions ofthe LOAA Tte staffreportto the
Planning and Erwironmental CommissiorL justifying the upzoning to MDMF with the SDD overlay,
makes no reference to the limitation set forth in the I-OAA stipulation. The LOAA rgquires that any
enrployee housing be used for a public purpose and that the residential housing be per the Town of
Vail employee housing ordinance.
The General Use (GI-I) zone district limits residential housingto Type III and Tlpe IV em-
ployee housing. Type III establishes a maximum size limitation of 400-9ti0 square feet, no mme
than two bedrooms and no more than two persons for each be&oom as well as-otlrer additional crite-
na- Type IV limits unit size to 200-300 square feet and occupancy to on€ p€rson. There are no
Type IV units proposed. These sarne resbictions apply in the MDMF zone dishic{. One ofthe four
units located on the Town ofVail portion ofthe proposed development exceeds the required unit size
limitation by 618 square feet.
Through the overlaying of a Special Development Dishict the Toum Council upon demor
strated compliance with review criteria may grant deviatiorn from required developrnent standards.
The deviation from the size requirement for the Type III employee housing unit on the Forest Ser-
vrce portion ofthe site did not receive review in accordance with the appropriate SDD criteria.
There is the appearance that on the Federal land portion ofthe site, rhe change in zoning seems to be
an attempt to avoid the reguirement of enforcing the size limitation on the Tlpe III employee hou+
ing standard as inferred by the t OAA
The apparent failure to conduct a good failh conformance wilh the [,OAA has raised con-
cems that the urtire Land Ownership Adjustment agreement may be placed in jeopardy, including
its most ruport provision for affected residential propeay owners, thelesolution ofprivate boundary

Public Purpoae and the Allocation of Ovmership: In March 1996, in order for ttre proj-
ect to proceed the deed restriction prohibiting human habitation on the Water Disbict portion ofthe
site was rescinded bythe Eagle County Commissioners. Several adjarent property owners raised
objections based on the grounds of conversion of open space to affo'rdable housing. A heated contro-
versy eruued regarding the merits ofpermitting affordable housing on the site. At that time and
since, both the Water Disbict and officials from the Town of Vail have publicly represented that in
ttt€ir fuHillrned ofthe public purpose they would provide, through the proposed projec! affordable
housing units to be sold or rented to their critical service personnel and local employees. It is be-
cause ofthese representations by public offcials thal the concerns ofadjacent property own€rs were
ovenrhelmed by demands of local employees and employers to provide more affordable housing for
local residents.
Accordingto a Town of Vail public relations pness release daled Much20,l996, in their
March 21, 1996, work session the Town Council gave approval to pr€pare an agreenrentthat would
fulfill several pre-conditions stipulated by the water dishict for the joint developme,nt ofthe site- Ac-
cording to the press release, as a last resort to make the locals' units more aforOanb 25% oflhe
units could be sold on the open marke! othenlise all units would be subjec{ to deed restrictions that
place limits on resale values and terms of conveyance.
From the time the Town Council approved the preparation of the agreenrent until the pres"
ent there has bee'n no public discussion regarding the merits ofthe nrooosed agreernmt's cqrtent. A
copy ofthe proposed agreement did not appear in any ofthe public hearingp on staffrwiew docu-
ments. In the first reading ofthe rezoning ordinance before the Tovm Council, the Town Staffrepre-
sented that conditions ofrezoning were in conformance to the approved agreement between the
Town of Vail andlhe Water District
Reviw Process: The Homeov,'ners Association has been critical ofthe review and approval
process. It appears that at the initiation ofthe Towr Staff, the Tovm Council direcied thatthe-pro-
posed agree,ment between itself and the water Dishict be prepared. uq!-t! n g_r"..ntlfg meiqlb/
ofthe members of the Town Council had not seenthe According to sources
withTown contracrts and agreemenls must be approved
through an ordinance by a vote of the Town Council. The proposed agreement has not received ap-
proval ofthe Council. A review of a copy ofthe agreement referred to by the Town Staffin the pub
lic hearing on fint reading indicates that the Town Sta.ffmay have unilaterally executed the
agreement in July ofthis year.
The agreement appears to adopt pre+mditions trat abridgment the riglrt ofthe Tovm Coun-.
cil to establish appropriate terrns and condition to fulfill the purpose ofthe zone district based upon
the findinp from the public review and hearing process. The agreemeirt appears to be a goning ion-ure rmfings trom lhe publrc revrew and heanng process. The agreemeirt appears to be a zoning con-

Additionally, the requirements ofthe Town of Vail to conduct an impartial review ofthe
proposal has been questioned. The zoning compliance review was conduc.ted bythe Housing Ad-
ministrator, who is the a&ninistrations primary advocate for affordable employee housing The de-
bale over lhe allocation ofthe Town of Vail portion ofthe rmits uras conducted in a hearing for the
1997 budget. This debate should have occurred as part ofthe zoning approval for rhe project.
Ihning the budget hearingthe Town Council desidedto allocate tluee units for emergency
ryrvice pgrsornel and two units for other town employees. The Council set no standard procedures
for qualifications or allocafion ofthe rmfu.

Homeowners Association Issues and Public Cornment Duringthe public hearings be-
fore the Plaming Commission and the Town Council it has been the stated preference ofthe-Home-
owners Assoeiation to not convert open space trasts to development without a detailed public review
as to the merits ofthe open space site to be convert. Also, the Association has raised concems re-
garding the terms and conditions under which publicly owned land is convert€d Aorn operT space to
affordable housing The following issues are raised:
I ' The sale of units on the open market (no resale deed restrictioru) should not be allowed- '/
The Warer Distric{s portion of the land for the project has already Ueen pa;a for ttnough local tax

To avoid.the alpearance ofa windfall or personal gain or conflict ofinterest by govern-
ment emplo]rces, unils allocated for re,nt, lease or purchase to crfical employees of either'ttle Water
Dstrict and the Tovrm of Vail should be limited to critical ernergenqr rerffi" fifelsafety personnel.
Qualification for these units should be a weigfuted oiteria basedupon employmert tongeGty, critical

To date, the Water Dishict and the Town Staffhas rejected the above terms and conditions

Andy Knudtsen gave an overview oi ttre statf memo. Andy explainedthe.Zoning Analysis and
siat6o tn"t the o-verall project conforrned with the proposed zoning. He stated that the sDD
componenl did not proviOb a blank check, since any future.modifica-tions would have to go
through Council. H'e stateO that staf{ believed that a combination of flat and pitched roofs was
prefeired. He said that statf was recommending approval with two conditions'
Tom Braun, representing the applicant, said the building design had been changed and all the
issues had bedn addresied. Tom stated that the design guidelines allow for a variety o{ roof
forms. He then said this proposal was within the realms and that there were untold benefits
associated with tlat roofs.
Jim Morter said that the project had to be atfordable and well designed, because it was in a
neighborhood lhat was well"designed. He said that a myriad of decisions influenced the design
of tfre rool tops and explained that he was not trying to be uncooperative, but the final design
included flat roofs. He then said that the most important goal was to accomplish all the goals.
He went on to say that canopies were added to give a level of sophistication and shadow lines.
Jim said that stuico wainscdting made the building look worse by giving it a checkerboard look.
He said there were two patterni of wood siding pr-ovided. Jim said il the public perceived this as
a stack of boxes, then hb tou the PEC to talqe a look at Savoy Villas. He also said that Timber
Ridge had sloping rools and looked worse than Savoy Villas, and gave the impression of
employee housing.
Greg Moffet asked for any public comment.
Jim Lamont, representing the East Village Homeowner's Association, said that Joe Staufer had
asked him to raise some concerns. Jim said that Joe Stauler didn't like flat roofs, but that he lelt
the change in design added a flair. Jim said that Joe thought it added a Taos feel. However, it
could behore exciting with stucco. Jim said he thought it stingy to say the sidewalk can't go up
and around lhe site. He then asked Andy how much rental housing the Town owns'
Andy Knudtsen stated that the Town owned the Town Manager's home and two other units.
Jim Lamont said the biggest demand was lor rentable units. He said that the Water District
could take the revenuei-and leave. lt it was public property, then the Town should meet the
demand. Jim said the issue on the table was that if the units are sold, the buyer should be
selected through a lottery. Jim stated that the public would not be pleased that the first two tiers
ot this project would go tb ttre tOV workers, since it was on publicproperty. Jim advised use.of
the lottery. Jim also ioted tfrat lhe Housing Director was involved in the regulatory proceSs..Jim
said we tieeded to make it clear that the Housing Director should sit with the advocates, as the
appearance was that ol a conflict of interest.
Greg Moflet asked for any other public comrnent. There was none.

Gene Uselton questioned the perpetual deed restrictions. Gene asked if the sloping roofs were
added, would the snow shedding be better'
Andy Knudtsen said roo{ pitches could be designed in such a way that snow shed problems
cout'O Oe eliminated. As an alternative, snow guards could be added'
Gene Uselton said he had a hard time guessing what this project would look like and asked il the
PEc was making a recommendation to the Town council at this worksession.
Greg Amsden said an SDD was not appropriate for this site. He said that staff was
reffimenOing an SDD in order to timiirfrd GRFA, which was a misuse-of the SDD' He went on
i"iiy init it OlO not conform and was not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood due to.

Greg Amsden thought every garage would have one car parked outside. He said that the project
snoifO oe paratable-and noiditodoutOoor parking adjacent lo S-andstone Rd. He also expressed
disappointinent that no one shows up at the PEC meetings to offer any input.
Tom Braun stated that 30 lelters were sent out for notification to adjacent property owners earlier
in the review Process.
Galen Aasland suggested tabling this item. Galen felt an SDD for employee housing was wrongr
but that MDMF zo-ning was needid. Galen fell it needed to be made compatible with existing
neignOorhooOs. He s?iO he would like to see more wrinen inlormation about the improvements
tnalcould be done in the future. He suggested capping development at a certain level. Galen
said that interior improvements could woif against the long term employee housing concept'
Galen would like to see a mostly stucco exteiior. Galen agreed with Jim's comment about
looking at this like any other apiticant. Galen atso advised that, from the public aspect, we
should"be careful about the Tdwn representing itself . Galen would like to see this item tabled.
Diane Golden thought the housing should go to critical TOV employees. She also said she didn't
remember the PECsaying vegetation was more important than the sidewalk.
Jim Morter explained that he raised a question to the PEC at the very end of the previous
worksession, ivhether landscaping or a sidewalk was more important along Red Sandstone
Road.
Diane Golden also stated that the PEC required a homeowner in East Vail to remove sod on
Town stream tract and replace it with native grasses.
Andy Knudtsen showed, according to the renderings, where the wetland mitigation was to
happen,
Diane Golden stated that she liked the design of Savoy Villas. She said that architects say there
are benefits to flat roois and so therefore, she was nof atraid to go with the expert's opinion. She
stated tnat she was thrilled to see employee housing incorporated into a neighborhood.

Henry pratt commended Galen on his eloquence and also agreed with Greg Amsden's point of
view.
Andy Knudtsen stated that the rezoning and sDD have been linked together.
Henry pratt said he would rather have Council have the final word and therefore, the SDD
procdss was a good one. Henry Pratt reminded everyone tlfl Yve need families here' as
beasonal workels are going to be housed out at the Public Works site.
Jim Morter said there were 46 parKng Spaces; 18 in garages and 28 exterior. He said 36 spaces
were all that were required.
Henry pratt said that assigning more parking to the 3-bedroom units would reduce guest spaces.
Henri asked how were peioptdgoing io get io the bustop. He said,a liabilily issue exists with
fallin!. Henry said that bonietfring neeOeO to be done to address the sidewalk, even though
Henry would prefer landscaping.
Greg Moffet said he had no problem with the use of the SDD process and.that this project
sno[u be decided by the el6cted officials. He stated that the Town',s employee housing was
going to be on puUlii property and that we require ourselves to have housing on our land,.as a
firiva-te owner has a nbude on private land. Greg said that he didn't mind flat roofs' He felt,
i-egarding the ramp issue, that a stairease needed to be put in. Greg said that this climate was
frarsn on wood anb though it is more expensive, he wanted stucco. Greg was in favor of this
project as long as further considerations were given to the exterior finish.
Pat Dauphinais stated that the plan was set and not only was it well thought out, but well
designeil. He said to do this within a budget where constraints were difficult. Pat said they were
not iiterested in design by committee. He felt that the fisherman easement was too tight. He
asked for a favorable vote to go to Council.
Gene Uselton made a motion for approval with the condition that 4 spruce and 5 shrubs be
added to the landscaping area along Red Sandstone Road.
The motion was seconded by Diane Golden.
Galen Aasland asked if adding stucco to the outside could be included in the motion.
Gene Uselton said they have not violated code and would not amend his motion.
Greg Moffet asked for any further discussion.
The motion passed by a vote of 4-2, with Greg Amsden and Galen Aasland voting against it.

Dominic Mauriello gave an overview of the memo, asking the PEC lor ideas on how to treat this

Henry pratt said lhat the west Vail Lodge used to have a car renlal service. He said that this ..
should be a service on mL iite, since tfre parking lot at the Inn at West Vail has never been full'
Greg Motfet stated that he had a potential conflict, since several airport shuttle customers were
customers ol his.
Mike Mollica sfated that there may be surplus spaces on the West Vail LOdge site.' .He also.said
there were complaints {rom the n6ignUors regaiOing the vans and U-Hauls parked there in the
past.
Gene uselton asked if this was a linancial asset for the west Vail Lodge.
Henry pratt said 2 vans were too restrictive and 10 wele too much. Henry asked if the West Day
Lot was an option.
Mike Mollica suggested anything beyond 2 vans would lrigger a conditional use.
Greg Moffet said the transportation businesses used to have oflices in the Village Transportation
Cenier. He asked if it was a good practice for us to require them to rent office space within ihe
Town, in order to park vans here.
Mike Mollica said the Town was not hung up on office use, only the compatibility issues.
Henry pratt said he didn't have a problem with a conditional use. He said the revenue may not
be worth the bad publicity.
Galen Aasland agreed that 10 vans were too many and 2 too few.
Diane Golden agreed.
Gene Uselton asked if the vans could park at the Public Works site.
Mike Mollica said that space there is limited.
Henry Pratt reminded everyone to encourage this use, but with control.
The PEC dilected staff to prepare a proposalto bring back in the future.

reinforced earlier this year with the Wall Street Building fire. Also, Foley provided an
update on the Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority and the Trails
Committee. A recommendation by the Committee to authorize $250,000 in
transpoftation sales tax money to complete the Dowd Junction recreational path has

-Other
Kevin Foley expressed concern about the town's handling of overflow cars along the
Frontage Road this past weekend. Foley said he received complaints about the matter
and was concerned that some of the cars were ticketed. Town Manager Bob Mclaurin
said the town wasn't as prepared as it could have been and was working on
improvements, including better signage. Joe Macy, representing Vail Associates,
encouraged the town to prepare for additional crowds this coming weekend and during
Thanksgiving weekend. Bob Armour echoed Foley's concerns, saying last webkend's
experience was not the kind of image Vail needs.
Town Attorney Tom Moorhead indicated the amplified sound issue would be coming
back to the Town Council for review and possible modification in February. In the
meantime, he said lhe lown clerk will continue to process new applications for permits
until the matter is resolved. The issue has been controversial in the past due to
nuisance complaints against some of the permit-holders by surrounding neighbors and
businesses. For more information, contact Moorhead al479-2107.
Evening Session Brlefs
Councilmembers present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Johnston, Kurz, Navas
--Citizen Participation
Scotty McGowan appeared before the Council and expressed concerns about vicious
dogs in town. He suggested the need to educate newcomers about Vail's leash laws in
the commercial core areas.
Next, Sheika Gramshammer of the Gasthof Gramshammer Lodge, addressed the
Council about noise problems in the Village core. In particular, Gramshammer said the
7 a.m. start lor trash removal in the core is too noisy for sleeping guests. As a result,
she said, it is becoming more difficult to run a hotel in the heart of Vail. Gramshammer
said she would rather see trash removal begin at 8 a.m., noting that pedestrians and
trash trucks should be able to co-exist.
Also speaking was Joe Staufer of the Vail Village lnn, who supported Gramshammer's
concerns. Because zoning in Vail's commercialcore advocates a mixed-use, Staufer

said it has to be "liveable". On another matter, Staufer asked the Gouncil to consider
his views during discussion of the Red Sandstone affordable housing project, which
was heard later in the evening. Referring to the town's portion of the proposed 17-unit
development, Staufer said it would be a mistake to put public land in private ownership.
Instead, Staufer advocated keeping the town's units in a rental pool rather than selling
them. He said the action would create a bad precedent for the future. In addition,
Slaufer said he and others did not appreciate the architecture of the project.
Also appearing before the Councilwas Peter Franke, an employee of the Gasthot
Gramshammer, who also complained about the trash delivery issue. Franke suggested
eliminating the back-up beepers on the trucks and shutting otf the diesel engines on
delivery trucks to help reduce noise. He also agreed that pedestrians and trash trucks
can co-exist with an I a.m. trash removal schedule. ln addition, Franke asked that
Checkpoint Charlie be staffed at night to control vehicular movement in and out of the
Village.
Next to speak was Roy Parsons of BFl. Parsons said he was sympathetic to the
concerns expressed by Gramshammer. However, he said safety is the company's
number-one issue. Parsons said the solution isn't an I a.m. adjustment, but rather
placement of a compactor to limit the number of times a trash truck is needed to travel
in the core. He said BFI was willing to work with the town and its customers to find a
solution.
Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners Association said he agreed with all
concerns expressed during citizen participation. He said he remained confident that
short and long-term solutions to the loading and delivery problems could be reached.
He also described it as a community-wide problem, not a neighborhood problem,
because of the economic impacts produced by businesses in the core.
-Gonsent Agenda
The Councilvoted 6-0 to approve two ordinances on the consent agenda: one to
amend the Vail Gateway Building Special Development District and another to
designate 14 properties located in the Town of Vail in a special open space
classification authorized by a charter amendment approved by voters last November.
--1997-98 Town of Vail Budget
The Council voted 6-0 on first reading to adopt the 1997 budget and to approve the
1998 budget. During discussion, Bob Armour and Sybill Navas said they wanted to
look at the possibility of adding a firefighter position before the ordinance comes up for
second reading. With no increases in staff since 1982, Fire Chief Dick Duran has said
the safety of his firefighters is being compromised due to multiple alarms and reduced
availability of off-duty personnel. Town Manager Bob Mclaurin said he would generate
the cost of the position for review at the Nov. 26 work session. Although the budget
calls for elimination of 7.5 full-time equivalent positions (through aitrition and/or
reassignment), Mclaurin said additional community safety officers will likely be needed
once a new loading and delivery plan is adopted. For more information, conlact

-Red Sandstone/Rezoning, Special Development District
The Council voted 6-0 on first reading to approve an ordinance to rezone the property
at 845 Red Sandstone Road from general use district to medium density multi-family.
The zoning change is needed to move forward with a proposal initiated by the Eagle
River Water and Sanitation District in partnership with the Town of Vail and U.S. Forest
Service for a 17-unit afiordable housing development. The water district owns lhree-
quarters of the property, while the Forest Service currently owns one-guarter of the
land. The town and Forest Service are currently in negoliations to transfer its portion to
the town as pafi of the Land Ownership Adjustment Agreement (LOAA). The transfer is
expected to be completed in February. Also last night, the Councilvoted 5-1 (Johnston
against) to approve a Special Development District (SDD) for the project. The SDD
clarifies the development intentions for the property, requiring the specific design to be
provided simullaneously with the request for a change in zoning. During an overview,
Andy Knudtsen, the town's senior housing policy planner, noted the density for the
proposed development is well within the range of surrounding densities, and that
neighbors were generally supportive of the project. He also referred to the Council's
decision on Nov. 12 that all five of the town-controlled units would be sold to TOV
employees (three for critical life-saving and two for non-critical employees). During
discussion, Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners Association asked the Council
to use the SDD process to enable equal access for the housing units by the general
public. He suggested the water district receive one{hird of the units, the Town of Vail
one-lhird, and the remaining third be available to the general public through a lottery
similar to Vail Commons. Lamonl said the split would address public policy concerns
that stem from what he called the conversion of open space and lhe use of public lands
for housing. In response, Pat Dauphinais, board member of the water district, said his
board would be interested in pursuing a public lottery for any excess units once the
board determines the number of units it will need. At this time, it is anticipaled that all
17 of the units will be deed restricted with standards similar to Vail Commons deed
restrictions. There is a provision that would allow for 25 percent of the units to be sold
as "free market" units to reduce the cost of the affordable housing, although the
applicants do not anticipate needing the subsidy. Additional provisions of the deed
restriction which exceed the Vail Commons standards will allow the water district and
the town to retain control of the units on a resale basis via reciprocal first and second
rights of refusal. Paul Johnston voled against the SDD ordinance due to concerns
about the project's architectural design, specifically the flat roofs. For additional details,
contact Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at479-2M0.
-Campisi Appeal of Planning and Environment Commission Decision
At the request of the appellants, the Council voted 6-0 to table the matter to the Dec. 17
evening meeting.

Planning and Environmental Commission
Community Development Deparfineut
October 28, 1996
A request for a rezoning from General Use to Medium Densrty Multi-family, and a
request fol the establishmeut of a Special Development Distict to allow for the
developrnent of l7 EHU's, located on an unplatted parcel on a portion of Parcel A
and part of Block D, Lionsridge Filing # l.
Applicants: Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, the United States Forest
Service and the Town of Vail
Planner: Andy Knudtsen
I. DESCRJPTIONOFTHERDOUESTS
The property, located at 845 Red Sandstone Road, is under consideration for a rezoning and a
Special Development District. The current zoning is Gcnsal Use District. The poposed zoning
is Medium Density Multi-Farnily (MDMF). The new zoning would increase the development
potential, as the existing zoning limits the uses to public tlpes of uses. Tbe ap'plicants inchde the
Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (the Dishict)t the United States Forest Service and the
Town of Vail. The District owns approximately three-quartcrs of the land area under
considcration. The Forsst Service currently owns one-quarter ofthe land area. The Town and
Forest Servicc are currently in ncgotiations to transfer their portion to the Town, as part of the
Land Orvnership Adjustment Agreement (LOAA).
The site is cunently vacant, as the former water treaftnent and storage plant has been removed
recently. lf the request is approved, the applicants will consfuct seventeen condominiums. The
dwelling units will be located in four buildings, located along the Red Saudstone Creek. There
will be 7 oae-bedroorn, 5 two-bed'room, and 5 three$edroom dwelling units. Each dwelling unit
will have its own one-car garage, with the exceptiou of one three-bedroom unit, which will have a
two-car garage.
The primary reason the applicants are proposing an SDD at this time is to provide a detaileal
recsrd of th€ futufe danelopment potcntial, whieh will eliminate questims about future
developmeirt potential of the prope4y. The SDD is a helpful tool to obtain answers to questions
about the potential development impacts from the rezoning of the property. In addition to that
primary purpose, there is one deviation fromthe Zoning Code, which would eitherrequire a
variance or be allowed via the SDD approval.
F:!wryoocvlc\lrdrod.udnaso2S
I
Thc applicant is proposing a 4-foot high retaining wall between thc edge of Red Sandstone Road
and the interior driveway. Due to the fact that this area is located in the front setback, the Town
Zoning Code limits the height to three feet. The wall exceeds that allowable hcight by I foot and
this is a deviation from the codc.
Upon completion of the LOAA, the Town will have title to the northern-most portion of the
development site. The Town and the Disrict will hold the land rmtil a Homeowner's Association
, (HOA) cau be created. Upon establishment of an HOA, the Town and the District will transfer
,p"! o*nership of all the land to the Association. There is no developer profit anticipated for the
U"N" , project. The sales price of the condomiuiums will be based on the cost of construction. In tho
;-.) development agreement between the Disrict and the Town, there is an allowance forup to25%7X 1 of the units to be sold as free-market dwelling uoits (i.e. no deed restictions). The purpose for
^
*., this is to defray the costs and lower the purchase price for the future homeowners. At this time, it
9 rtt" is anticipated that 100% of the uoits will be deed restricted. The deed restriction will be similarto' that used for Vail Comrnons, which restricts the sale to local employees.
. ,*f
h-' After construction, it is anticipated tbat most of the homes will be owner occupied. The Town
h and the Disrict will make the homes available to their employees. While the Town anticipates
.l h1 selling the dwelling units to its employees, the District will both sell and retain owuership of someut of its units to rent to its employees. More discussion of the proposed unit ownership will be
provided later in the memo.

Below are the list of questions raised at the previous PEC worksession. Staffhas grcuped thern
into categories ofgeneral issues and specific items relating to the project.
l. Is the SDD the appropriate tool to use for the review of this proposal?
Staffbelieves that the SDD is the most appropriate process to use in this case, because it requires
the specific desip to be provided simultaneously with the request for a cbange in zoning. For
clarificatioq the proposed development densities fall below those allowed under the MDIVIF
zoning. Thc proposed lcvels of dcnsity will becomc the new cap and any futurc request for
expansions will trigger a major SDD amcndmcnt. A major SDD amendment must bc approved by
Town Council with two readings, after a recommendation by PEC. Though the SDD process
allows requcsts which exceed the limits of the underlying zoning, thc standards are referenced and
used as a "yard stick" to ensure that proposals are consistent with srurounding properties.
Furthermore, the process is such that interested parties and adjacent property owners will have
ample opportunity to give iuput on the requests.
2. trs affordablehoustng an appropriate useofthe land? Is it appropriate to tansferland
from the United States Forest Service to the Town of Vail for affordable housing?
The Land Ownership Adjustnent Agreement (LOAA) provides for a comprehensive transfer of
land between the Town of Vail and the Forest Service. Land on the perimeter of the Town
overlaps into the jurisdiction of both entities. The LOAA is an effort to exchange different
properties between the two entities to create a win-win situation. As part of this effort, several
parameters were laid out for the use of tle lands under considsration. Some of these include:
That there will be no National Forest Service lands within the municipal
limits of the Towu of Vail.
2. That the Forest Service survey, identi$r, and maintain a common boundary
of the Town of vail and the Forest Service and that both agencies share in
the enforcemcnt ofregulations pertaining to the boundaries. The boundary
has becn simplificd whcre.possible, irregularities have becn reduced or
eliminated.
3 ' That all lands acquired by the Town of Vail are used for public purposes,
such.as open space, employee housing (perthe Town of Vail ernployee
housing ordinance), recreation or for the resolution ofunauthorized uses."
TheLOAAwasapprovedbythe TownCouncilonMay 17,lgg4. Staffreliesonitasthe most
authoritative document concerning the transfer of land from the Forest Service to the Town of
Jlif rne third paragraph above clearly calls for employee housing as a recornmended use for
LOAA parcels, such as the one under consideration.
3' Should the developmeut be targeted for the rental market or the ownership market?
Staffhas identified tbree sectors of the residential market, which the Toum is trying to serve based
on needs of the community: the permanent residenl the year-round reuter, and the seasonal
renter. The size, scale, and location of this site lends itself best to the permanent resident looking
"l.
pwchase a homc. Onc of thc conccrns is that the "affiordabiliry" could be lost, after the fiust sale.
A deed restriction. similar to that used with the Vail Commons development, will also bc used
with this development and thc restriction will limit the resale value to an appreciation of three
pcrcent per year. ln addition to the three percent per year which individuals can realize at time of
resale, other costs can be added to the resalc price. For example, if the Homeowter's Association
assesses eacb unit owner for reroofing, residing. additional landscaping, paving, etc., one hundred
percent ofthe assessrnent can be added to the resale price, allowing the owner to recoup costs
attributed to maintenance. The deed restrictions have besn u,ritten in such a way to preserve the
affordable purchase price, while allowing residents to invest in the upkecp of their homes. The
deed restrictions run in perpetuity, eliminating any risk of losing the initial subsidy to a future
homeowner.
4. Should the dwelling units be made available to the residents throughout the community?
Yes, staffbelieves that all residents should bc able to participate in a lottery according to criteria
which reflects the needs of the community. Staffrecommends that there be three tiers:
. Critical employees working for the TownlDistrict (to be determined by each organization);. Other employees working for the TownlDistrict (to be allocated as determined by each
organization); and. Other community residents/employees (to bc allocated by Towa of Vail / District).
In rcsponse to the point made about Town employees having an unfair advantage over other
community residents, there are two issues to consider: the Town provides a seruice to the
community and staffing the Town enables the delivery of services to tlte commudty. It is not an
us/them issue, we are in this together. Secondly, the Town and District are trying to lead by
example by creating affordable housing for their employees, to encourage other employers to do
the samc.
5, Itrow can the Town and District ensure that the units are used by employees of the Town
and District in the future?
Staffbelieves it is primarily an issue of priority- we would like to see critical ernployees of the
two organizatious housed as the top priority. With that goal in mind, the Towu and Distict will
establish reciprocal lst and 2nd rights of refusal for all 17 dwelling units in the development. This
will allow the employees at the top of the lottery criteria list to be housed.
However, if other employees own the units, we have still accomplished the goal of providing
employee housing. As indicated in the lottery criteria list, otherresidents of the community will
have an opportmity to buy homes in this development, if the supply is not exhausted by
employees in the higher priority categories. Staffbelieves it would be heavy-handed to require a
sale and then evict a local uihp chooses to work for a different employer iu the valley. Regardless
of anployment location, the deed resrictions require that residents work an aver:igeof 30 hours
per week at businesses which are located in Eagle Cormty.
6. What has been the precedent for roads which cross private property?
Staff researohed two other properties where this situation has occurred. At the tirnc of
redevelopment, the Town required easements to accommodate the existing alignmcnt of thc
pavement, but did not require dedicatiou of that portion of the site as right-of-way, As the land
continued to be held as private properfy, the Town allowed the area in the easement to be used in
the calculation of GRFA and other development standards. This is also consistent with the way
the Town treats other easements (such as utility and drainage easements), concerning the
calculation of developrnent standards.
Specific items relating to the development proposal.
l. Insure that any wetlands to be disturbed are mitigated adequately.
After walking the site with Russ Forrest, the Town Enviroumental Planner and Nicole Ripley, a
wetland consultant, staff understands that the Corps of Engineers must be notified of theictivity
on-site. The consultant will assess the wetland qualities of the site, review the development plans,
and determine the potential area of disturbance to jurisdictional wetlands. The consultant has
recommended that an area equivalent to that of the disturbance be replalted on the north and
south ends of the site, as mitigation for areas being impacted.
The applicant understands that the northem and southern ends of the site must be planted with
nursery grown stock, matching the willow species currently on-site. The specific area of
revegetation has yet to be determined, but will be determined prior to the first reading of thc
ordinance by Town Council, Neither the consultant or the Town's environmental planner believe
that the characteristics of the site, or the magnitude of the proposed development, will warrant
other mitigation requirements than those described above.
2.Architecture
In the discussions about the architechre at the previous PEC worksession, the pEC and DRB
members were roughly split as to the appropriateness of flat roofs. Afterreviewing the colored
renderings, the Board members had a greater appreqiation for the quality of the prJposed
development, specifically tbe amount of variety within the massing, or as descriUeO intUe hearing,
the "wedding cake effect." Staffbelieves that from the range of comments on the flat roofs, the
best analysis of thern is summarized as follows: flat roofs can be the most efficient and are
appreciated by design professionals. Designs which incorporate flat roofs can be very high quality
(and in fact are better than the design of Vail Commons). However, the public witt not appieciatl
the good architechue and will perceive the project as a stack of boxes. furthe.-ore, thii-image
will convey' public housing."
The applicable criteria in thc Zoning Code is found in the Design Review Section and thc SDD
qiteria. The SDD calls for compatibility with the surrounding properties. In this case, thc
surrounding properties have eithcr pitched roofs or a combination of flat with shed roofs' The
DRB criteria are morc specific and state that:
. The majority of roof forms within Vait are gable roofs with a pitch of at least four feet in
twelve feet. However, other roof forrns are allowed. Consideration of environmental and
climatic determinants such as snow shedding, drainage, and solar exposure should be
integral to the roofdesign.
' Deep eaves, overhangs, canopies, and other building features that provide shelter from the
elements are encouraged.
' The guidelines also call for snow shedding to be minimized in pedestrian areas.
It should also be noted that although flat roofs may be appreciated for their simplicity, flat roofs
are an often cited attribute of Liooshead which the community is bling to move away from.
Another issue raised by the PEC was the need to break-up the siding material with areas of
stucco. Both the flat roof issue and the stucco issue have not been addressed since the prcvious
PEC/DRB worksession.
3. Consolidate curb cuts.
The project has been re-engineered so that both Brooktree, Sandstone Park and the proposed
project are scrved by one curbcut. The applicants arc willing to provide permanent access
easements for the neighboring developments.
4. Add a staircase to the north end of the site to access the Town of Vail bus stop.
The applicant has been concemed that providing a staircase from the development to the bus stop
across the steet could be seen as a discriminatory act, against disabled individuals. Staffhas
researched the issue with the Town attomey, as well as with Vail Associates staff who deal with
ADA issues regularly. Since the elevation difference at this coruer of the site is approximate$ 16
feet, a ramp connecting the development to the upper road would be over 200 feet long. Given
the tough requirements of the topography and the law, a connection at this locatio,n cannot be
provided. ,
5. Add landscaping along Red Sandstone Road.
The Town has a sightdistance standard for intersections between driveways and roads, such as
Red Sandstone Road. The area falling within a fiangle of l0 feet by 250 feet must remain free of
vegetation which could block the sight of oncorning traffic. Notrvithsanding this requiremenl
staffbelieves that additional landscaping must be planted along Red Sandstone Road. Previously,
there were 8 spruce and 8 shrubs in this area. Since the worksession. the applicant has addcd
plant material so that there is now a total of 13 spruce, 3 cottonwoods and 8 shrubs in the area.
However , staffbelieves that additional buffering is needed, Staffrecommends adding 4 spruce
and 5 shrubs in the area that extends south from the largest group of laodscaping. The applicant
has agreed to plant this area, as long as the finished grade is such that laadscaping can be planted
in the area.
6. Provide a sidewalk along Red sandstone Road.
There is not sufficient room, given the retaining required, for a sidewalk. At the end of the
worksession on September 9.' 1996, the PEC concluded that given the site constraints, additional
landscaping was a higher priority than a sidewalk.
7. Provide a strearnwalk.
After studying the site, staff believes that the connection from a potential streamwalk to the road
above is not workable. As discussed above, the elevation difference at the base ofthe upper road
is significantly higher than the stream. Given the relatively short length of walkway atd the steep
climb required around the creek culverts, a streamwalk does not appear to be a compone,lrtthat=
could readily be included in the development.
A compromise solution may be to have the applicant provide a pedesbianlfishermanns easeme.nt
along the creek. This would allow creek access, without requiring a walkway to be constructed
that would not be workable.
8. Provide additional snow storags.
The snow storage areas are now 30% of the total pavement area. Staffbelieves the increase in
this area, which has been made since the worksession, adequately provides for storage areas.
9, Parking for the three bedroom units.
Increasiug the size ofthe garages for the three bedroom units would require a redesign ofthe
whole project. However, in order to address the concerns of the pEC and to ensure that the three
bedroom units are adequately served, the applicaut has suggested that a guest space be reserved
for each three bedroom unit.
10. Pedeshian access from within the garages.
Pedeshian doors have been added to the garages which have some portion of exterior wall. In
several cases, the way the buildings have been notched, providedjust enough ofan exterior wall
e
to include a door. Howevcr, one garage in each building does not have adequatc exterior
cxposure to add a Pedcstrian door.
1 l. Overhead utilities.
The applicant has committed to removing the existing overhead utilities. For clarification
porpor"r, staff understands that the existing two poles oo site will be removed and the existing
r"*i"r will terminate at the pole located immediately north of the Sandstone Park building'
12.Details.
The dumpster will be enclosed, to improve the quatity of the entrance area of the development.
The sod areas between the buildings have been expanded, to provide additional turfarea for the
residents to use. The sod will be easier to maintain than "native vegetation,'n particularly since the
new areas between the buildings will connect the sod from the front and back-
IV. EVALUATIONOFTHEREZONINGREQUSf;T
The criteria, the Town has used in the past, to evaluate rezoning requests are listed below:
A. Is the request in conformity with the Land Ure Plan?
The Town of Vail Land Use Plan designates these parcels as Medium Density
Residential (MDR), which Fanslates to a densip of 3 - 14 dwelli-ng uits per
buildable acre. Page 32 of the Land Use Plan calls for the following type of
developments in arcas with this designation:
"The medium density residential category includes housing which would
typically be designcd as attached units with comrnons walls. Deasities in
this category would range from 3 to 14 dwelling units per buildable acre."
The buildable area of the combined sites is 1.24 acres. As the proposed
pment will consist of 17 dwelling units, the resulting density will be 13.71 .'
which is less than what ttre Land Use Plan prescribes. Please note that
6'alculation is based on buildable site area" noJ total site area. Additionally, the
requested zoning of Medium Density Multi-Family Residential allows for up to l8
dwelling units per buildable acre.
B. Have circumstances changed since the original zouing was placed on the property?
The District has used the facility iu the past for water treatment and storage. It is
no longer needed by the Distict. The site is surrounded by rights-of-way and
roads, utilities, infrastructurq and residential condominium aud townhouse
developments. Staffbelieves that because the area has developed over time as a
residential neighborhood, that it is reasonable to rczone this site to allow
residential developmenl in order to be compatible with adjacent land uses.
o
c.Does the proposed zoning providc for the growth of an orderly and viabl'c
community?
Staffbelieves that the development of this site as affordable housing will increase
the viability of our community. Affordable housing has been listed in the Town's
annual community survey as a top priority, for reasons of economic stability as
well as the desire to increase the sense of community. Though ioterest nms high,
locating sites which can accommodate affordable housing is difficult. Housing at
this location addresses the priorities of the community and enhances the viability of
the Town.
Does the proposed zoning present a convenienl wolkable relationship among laad
uses consistent with municipal objectives?
The land uses on the surrounding properties are similar to the uses of the proposed
development. The appticant has preparrd an analysis of the densities of the
surrounding properties, which is shown below:

Tj gtgr: drysity of the proposed development is 10.6 dwelling units per acre.
(1 7 unitsi I .6044 gross acres = 10.6 d'/ac) As such, it is well within ihe range of
the densities in the area.
Suitability of the proposed zoning,
staff believes that the proposed zoning is suitable for this site. The development
allowed by the rezoning will allow the commrmity to move towards its goats
regarding the supply of affordably priced homes. The development will be in line
with surrounding projects, concerniug uses and density.

Below are the nine criteria used to evaluate Special Development District propoSals:
Design cornpatibility and sensitivity to the immediate euvironment, neighborftood
and adjacent properties, relative to tbe architectural design, scale, bulk, building
height, buffer zones, identity, charactor, visual integrify and orientation .
n_Je u/17
Staffbelieves that the architectural scale, bulk and building height are all ,LArt-R-
successful. However, staffis concerned about the identity and the character of t[4, '.-
project. Specifically,staffisconcemedabouttheflatroofs, The surrounding er--
developments iu the Sandstone area range in age aud quality, and none exclusively pH-"<,
have flat roofs. Many have a combination of flat and pitched roofs. For example, I I
Sandstone Park has steeply pitched sheds aad gables in coqiunction with flat roofs.
Brooktree has a combination of a rnansard-type roof with a flat roof. Aspeufiee
and Potato Patch Club both have built-up gravel roofs, which are pitched at
relatively shallow slopes. Staffbelieves that one of the significant elements in each
of the surrounding properties is the roof eave overhang. We believe that this gives
architectural character to the development, as it creates a shadow line, breaks up
the mass and bulk, and creates a character that is appreciated by the general public.
Staff does not want to discount thc overall quality of the proposed design.
Howcver, we believe that the character should be modified by adding pitched
roofs to thc flat roofs in a way similar to Sandstone Park, immediately adjacent to
the project to the west.
Of particular concern to staff is the height of the flat roofs relative to the road
elevation surrounding the project. We believe that the roof areas will be highly
visible frorn tlle surrounding area. The elevation at the comer of Red Saudstoue
Road and Potato Patch Drive is approximately 2 - 3 feet higher than the elevation
ofthe second story roofs. Siace pedestrians and drivers on the road will be higher
than the roof elevation, the flat roofs will have greater exposure.
Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, effrcient and vrukrble
relationship with sr.urounding uses and activity.
Staffbelieves that the uses, activity and density will be compatible with the
surrounding development. As discussed above, underthe evaluation of the
rezoning request, the proposed density is consistent with the Town's Land Use
Plan and will be lower than the surrounding developrnents in the area.
Compliance with parking and loading requiremeuts, as outlined in Chapter 18.52.
The proposed development exceeds the Zoning Code requirement regarding the
total supply ofparking spaces, as well as the supply ofenclosed parking spaces.
B.
C.
1t
D.
Eacb of the condominiums will have its own oversized garagc.
Conformity with the applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensivc Plen, Town
policies and Urban Design Plan.
The Vail Comprehensive Plan (Land Use Plan) calls for a density on this sitc
ranging from 3-14 dwelling units per acre, The proposed development, at l3.l
dwelling units per buildable acre, is consistent with tbe Land Use Plan. A
thorough analysis of the consistency with the Land Use Plan is provided above,
under the rezoning discussion.
Identification and mitigation of natural andlor geologic bazardr tlat affect the
property on which this Special Development District is proposed.
The only hazard affecting this site is the 100-year floodplain. All improvements,
grading, and disturbance will be located outside of the floodplain.
Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed.to
produoe a functioDal development, responsive and sensitive to natural features,
vegetation and overall aesthetic quatity of community.
The site plan and building design have becn developcd to take full advantage of the
open space area along Red sandstone creek. Each of the dwelling units will abut
this corridor, which will increase the quality of life of the residents of this
development. In the site planning devclopment, the 30'stream centerline setback
standard of the Town has been respected, providing a buffer between the riparian
corridor and the development. There is one location where some of the existing
vegetation will be removed. Tom Braun, the representative for the developmenl
has stated that the Distict will kansplaot vegektion during the constructron
process or will replace it with new plant material, matching the existing species.
A_circulation systern desigued for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on and
oFsite traffic circulation.
Driveways have been aligued so that the Red Sandstone, Brooktree, and
sandstone Park developments will all be sharing the sarne access onto Red
sandstone Road. Easements will be provided to rnaintain this access in the future.
The point of intersection with Red sandstone Road has been located at a point
where visibility is the greatest, as Red sandstone Road winds its way up to potato
Patch.
conceming pedesbian circulation, staffhas requested that the existing sidewalk
along Red Sandstone Road be continued up to the entance to this development.

Originally, staff and thc PEC requestcd that a pedestrian connection be provided
from this project up to Red Sandstonc Road, above the developmcnt'
Unfortunately, thc ADA laws are such that providing a staircasc without a second
accessible route cannot be done.
An important detail relating to circulation is the areas for snow storage. Snow will
be stored aloug the driveway, on the east side as well as at the northern end of thc
drive. Snow storage areas have been increased, as discussed above.
Fuoctioaal and aesthctie landscapiag and open space, in order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreation, views and functiou.
Staffrequests that the applicant buffer the project more from adjaceut properties,
particularly along Red Sandstone Road. Staffunderstands that tlere is a very
steep slope in this area, plus retaining walls, which limits the plantable area.
However, staff believes more trees and shrubs should be added, per the corrments
made earlier in the memo.
Staffalso requests that the existing vegetation be preserved. The large spruce (24
inch caliper) on the north west comer of the site is proposed to be preserved.
Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable functional and
efficient relationship throughout the development of this Special Development
District.
At this time, it is anticipated that the development would be completed in a single
phase. If for any reason, the Forest Service and the Tqwn cannot complete the
transfer of ownership of thc northernmost part of thc state, the District will
proceed ahead with construction of the first three buildings.
A condition of approval will be to have the District resubdivide all the parcels into
one lot, Though the zoning code defirnition allows parcels adjacent to one anotber
to be considered as one lot, ultimately the development area must be replatted as a
coudominium map. As part of that process, the land will eventually be platted as a
single lot. As part of the initial phase, staff understands that the existing overhead
utility lines will be buded. Staffunderstands that rwo poles will be removed and
the existing overhead lines eliminated back to the existing pole adjacent to the
Sandstone Park Condominium Building.

\rI. STAF'FRECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the requested Special Development District and Rezoning
with two conditions. We believe the applicant has been responsive to a majority of the issues and
has designed a quality product which will help meet the community's housing needs. However,
staff believes that the architectural character, and landscape screening, of the proj ect could meet
the SDD criteria better than the current design. As a result, staffrecommends approval of the
project with the following conditions:
l) Tbat the applicant modif' the architectural character ofthe project by incorporating a
mixture of flat roofs and shed roofs into the design, prior to fust readiug of the ordinance
at Town Council.
2) That the applicant add additional trees and shrubs (4 spruce and 5 shrubs) to the area of
the site adjacent to Red Sandstone Road, prior to first reading of the ordinance at Towo
Council.

Planner; AndY Knudtsen
Greg Moffet wetcomed Brent Alm, Clark Brittain and Ted Hingst, the DRB members present for
this worksession.
Andy Knudtsen gave an overview of the request and explained that the three parties involved
hav6 all signed the applications necessary to get the plan going. The primary purpose of the ...
SDD was io answer neighbor's questions regarding future developmenl. 100% of the units will
be deed restricted. The District and Town of Vail employees are the target market. Density is
much less than what the Zone District allows, as shown on the Zoning Analysis in the memo.
Another important component is the LOAA, which Andy explained. He explained that this was
an effort to get a clean'boundary and lo create sites for employee housing. Andy stated that this
was a high [riority for economic stability and also that the provision of affordable housing would_
nep trre viaoility of the community. Andy said thal the proposed density is below other sites and
thai suitability is consistent with the context. Staff expressed concern about the architectural
design and wanted to hear from both Boards and the neighborhood, regarding archjtectural
compatibility. A roof overhang and a pitched root would break up the mass. He said lhat since
the iorner 6f the road is higher, the flat roofs would be very visible where the road divides. Andy
proceeded to go over the discussion issues. He stated that there are argumenls both pro and
con for two cuibcuts. but stalf would look at the safest and what would meet the most needs.
Andy went over the landscaping and stated that there may be an opportunity to get rnore
landscaping in the area, while still preserving the existing landscaping.
Greg Moffet said two areas to focus on were the landscaping and the architectule. He stated the
need for the public to comment on these issues.

OarigJs were oversized in order td provide storaoe, as well as cars' To bring all this in at an
affordable level was a cdil;g;. idm introduced-Jim Morter, Pat Dauphinais and Gerry
Roberts.
Jim Morter said the lirst thing to be considered was scale. The kindest scale for the site was to
have 4 smalter buildings. Fdr fn" footprint and the bulk, Jirn felt the smaller size worked. Jim
.Ut"O n" was proposi-ng seven 1-bediooms, five 2-bedrooms and live 3- bedrooms' This project
would be state of the art for accessibility and usability. Jim asked for questions' He wanted to

stated therdwould be 24 flat roofs with a lot of stair stepping. The functional reason lor ilat rools
was to eliminate snow dumping. lt would be easier to dhedinow where people are not' Flat
roofs made it easier to coniain"winter problems. The second reason lor llat roofs was that the
mass would appear smaller with flat r6ofs. The third reason was lo provide visual interest with a
ifiir-rt"p O".ign. Roof penetrations, such as vents (since there will be no fireplaces)' would
have all the items clustered together. This has given Jim the opportunity to torm a sculpture-
within the project. Jim stated inat ne would likelo ask both Boards to have an open mind, when
it comes to lhe flat roof issue.
Greg Moflet asked for any public comments.
Jim Lamont, speaking on behalf of Ralph Davis of Action Vail, stated that the focus should be on
the principles.' The rn-anner that it was brought loruvard last spring caused anguish- lt was
brought to the attention of Action Vail. The homeowners made every effort to calm everyone.
Rctioi Vait has always said that public open space, if transferred, should be retained as open
space. Jim had queitions for Tom Brauh regirding the slatus of the driveway options {nd . .
d'esignating it as i permanent easement. Jim also wanted to know what other avenue Brooktree
had for access.
Tom Braun said that it is not yet a permanent easement, but lhat it was a possibility'
Jim Lamont asked if the access could be shared.
Tom Braun said that a new access, to the south of the proposed driveway, was being
considered.
Jim Lamont asked Tom Braun il the right-of-way on Red Sandstone was dedicated.

Jim Lamont askect about the 1oo-year lloodplain. Jim stated that this was public property and
in" rrrrent problems needed to be resolved. Jim stated that when the Lionsridge area was
annexed, the land use pitt*rn was predetermined. Jim stated that there was a need to take a
hard look at the streamlght-of-*ay. He asked, " Are we taking a public piece of property and
turning it into a private pidce ol property?" The public deserves a sidewalk and access to the
Jtre"ri. He meirtioned'that whdn tie w'as on the Board, he found that there is never a benefit'
*frLn tf," public has been denied. lf the units go up for a lonery,.thal would be fine, but allthe
citizens oi the Town should have a chance. ltis wiong to have the people benefiting {rom it that
were judging and reviewing it. However, Jim could see the first prefelence being given to
emergency Personnel.
Bob McLaurin disagreed with a couple of issues. The lirst was the land exchange'-Bob had . . .
been criticized for using this parcel. There was a net gain of money to the Forest Service, which
exceeded the value, reiulting in no net loss to the Forest Service. The land was to be used lor
nousing for Town ol Vail emfloyees. When people call 9'l'1 , tor example, one wouldn't get an.
answeiif employees are noi aOie to live neaiby.- Bob said there was not one single fireman who
lives in the Tbwn of Vail and only two police ofiicers that live in the Town ol Vail. lt was clearly
irreiponsiOfe for the Town ot Vait to not move in this direction. This housing development would
be filled with critical employees, with the remainder goang to tottery for the leftover units. This
pioiect woutd provide ah oi:portunity for police otlicei's families to be here. The Town ol Vail
would like to exercise a rigfri of first-refusal. Bob said that the Town had an obligation to provide.
the services and was havlng a harder time competing with areas that have a less expensive cost
of living. With all due respect to Jim, the Town should have done this 10 to 15 years ago. As the
town'i long term employees start to retire, the Town needs to start to take pro-active measures
now.
Jim Lamont said in response to his good friend Bob, that the minute these public units were.sOld
to the private sector, there would be a problem when the employees leave the job. T-!e public
interedt needed to be protected. Prioriiies should be given to emergency personnel first. After
requesting that the density be lowered, Jim slated that this should be lented to emergency
personal and include public access to the creek'
Bob McLaurin said rentals would not work lor the maiority of the work force. In order for
occupants to receive tax deductible benefits, the proiect had to be owner occupied.
Ratph Davis said that Bob hit the nail on the head. He also would hate to call 911 and lind no
one there. Ralph stated ihat the units should not be sold and that rental rales should be below
market rental rates. He said the rent should be less than what it would cost to own. This project
might just fit the need for emergency personal.
Pat Dauphinais, representing the Water and Sanitation Districl, stated that this would have a
public benefit . Employees living on the other side of Dowd Junction can't respond to .'emergencies like a'loc-al resident could . There would be a first right of first refusal. The Water
Distriat would maintain first right of'refusal on alfthe"units. Though the'Water District can't
commit to housing only emergency personnel, this housing would be available to Water District
personnel, police, fire and hoipital personnel. The public interest would be well served. Even
ihougtr tand is being transterred from the public to the private sector, it would still serve the
comirunity. Even though they would be sold, the Water District would have the right of first
refusal.

Henry pratt asked if it would be possible lor the Town to have 2nd righl of refusal on the Water
District units?
Pat Dauphinais said that was a great idea and would dovetail lhat in'
Henry Pratt stated that conceivably, there coub eventually be no Town ol Vail employees living in
these units.
Bob McLaurin said a sale could be forced, via the deed restrictions, lor violations to the policy'
Pat Dauphinais said deed restrictions would be conditions of the SDD'
Bob McLaurin stated that he didn't want all the Town of Vail workers living together.
Jim Lamont staled that we need the Town Manager to explain how this will work.
Bob Mclaurin stated that the Town is pursuing rentals on the Public Works site and on other
prop"rfi"r. He stated thal it was esseirtial to maintain the community's economic viability and
inai it woutO be problematic in the future, if this problem is not dealt with now.
pat Dauphinais said the Water Board fell a responsibility to lhe public. Pat said that the current
proposai was the most positive thing to be done with that ground. The benefils would far exceed
ihe'strort term public toss, by shuiting down the neighborhood dog toilet. The Water District no
longer needs tire planl on-site. The public good will be served better by lar with this project.
Jim Lamont stated that there would be a need for a sidewalk; that the creek be recognized as a
recreational amenity, and dedicated as e public access easement; that the Town should require
the dedication of some open space, to be consistent with other projects. He summarized by
saying that the public should get something back.
Greg Moffet asked for other public, comments. There was none.
Starting with the DRB: Clark Brittain said he responded favorably to the design- The presentation
reinforced his feeling about the design. Each building, as a modular Sculpture, was very
appealing. When lobking down on the buildings from the road, a betler vantage point is possible
and the diiferences would be accentuated. Clark said that the project is going in the righl
direction.
Ted Hingst thought the design was a good way to avoid cubes. Ted still had a problem with the
llat roOfs. He suggested perhaps false fronting was a solution. He was, however, looking
forward to seeing the proiect develop.
Brent Alm thanked Jim Morter and the PEC for letting the DRB have a chance to make
comments at this schematic level. He stated thal there needs to be more landscaping on the
east side. Also, Brent said that to break the 'l7 units into four buildings was a good idea. The
archileclure was simple and straightforward. Brent was not opposed to llat rools, but would like
to see shed roofs added to soften lhe design. The stacked design was helpful. lt was important
to see the renderings. The use of materials with two differeni types oJ sidings and slight color
variations was best.
Jim Morter stated that the intent was to use subtle variations.

Diane Golden thanked the Water District. Responding to Galen's comments about the SDD' she
iaiO tnat the pubtic interest was better protectdd with ihe SDD. Diane felt that the breakup of the
buildings was verY good.
Henry pratt said Jim Lamont had brought up some macro issues, compared to the flat roofs'
Henry tett that it was important for the units to be owner-occupied. There was a need to insure
that emergency personnel be housed at this site. He felt that it would be counter-productive.Jor
employeei to naue to sell. Henry said that we need to find a position somewhere between Jim
Lamonl and the Town Manager.
Henry pratt believed that the architecture was Jar superior to the Commons. BuL he also stated
that [ionshead was going away lrom llat roofs, towards a more European style . This ploje.ct
needed shed roofs, ind overhdngs with more detail. Henry stated that flat roofs were clearly
more efficient in this town, and tliat it was a good choice lrom his perspective; however, subject
to criticism. Henry said thal to salisty the public perception, the designed needed to break up the
boxes. In laymafs terms, he expressed concern that the public would equate stacked boxes
with public housing.
Henry Pratt said to deed back open space was a good idea; however, the-space was.nol.an .
adeqirate size. A public path alirng the creek could be done within the 30'setback. lt might be a
compromise to opbn it to the publii, but it would get used and appreciated. Henry questioned
the dmount of space allocated for snow storage. From his years at Pitkin, he stated that snow
piles can get to be 25' high. He didn't have a feel for curbcuts and felt that could be left up to the
Town to hlndle. Henry agreed with Jim Lamont about the sidewalks. Sidewalks encouraged
people to walk to the bus stop. The path along the creek would enable Brooktree residents to cut
'acrriss and use the bus stop. Trees were needed to provide privacy. Trees would_put the . .
project into its own enclave.- Henry disagreed with Galen regarding the SDD: An SDD would
provide lhe vehicle necessary for a minor degree of down zoning.
John schofield said that as this project progresses, he would like to have more information on
the floodplain and also a public path along the stream. A common access with the adjacent
property owners would bd prefelable. John said that he was not a big tan of flat rsofs and would
iike to see some sloped roots and a mix of siding materials.

Lam-ont had raised some vdlid concerns. This worksession was the context for lhese concerns
to be raised. Greg was delighted rhat this was aimed in the direction of family housing. Greg felt
inat owned was b6$er than iented. Greg was in agreement that the SDD was the appropriate-^
mechanism for this. tn response to the iown Manigefs concerns, GIeg said thal when the PEC
reviewed the Public Works site, it required housing. This was a step in the right direction in
"OOrurring
that issue. Greg agieed with Greg RmiOen regarding the materials used and the cost
ol tuture maintenance. Gr6g igreeO with Heiry on the landscaping issue. Greg liked the design
and had no problem wilh it.
Jim Lamont said the Easl Village Horneowner's Association favored this zone district- The time
that has elapsed lor the publiciight-ol-way was well beyond the prescriptive rights. That portion
not owned by the Town should be dedicated to the Town ol Vail.
Greg Moffet asked if the proposed MDMF zone district was an upzoning.
Andy Knudtsen said, yes. He further stated that this project was treated no dilferently than
others. He telt the GRFA was low enough so that the right of way concerns would be a moot
issue.
Tom Braun summarized all the comments. He stated that everyone was comlortable with the
SDD, with the exception of Greg Amsden and Galen Aasland. The vehicular circulation to be
worked oui by the Town Enginder. He said that they would look at the stream access corridor
and study thd building orienlailon with more landscdping bgtween th9 road and the project.

he would look into it, as well as lhe flat roofs.

Greg Moffet said the SDD stated a complete review was to go to the DRB and he thanked the
presenters.
Jim Morter asked if there was one priority given the constraiants of the right-of-way'
The PEC said landscaPing.
Jim Morter said that public safety would dictate the road right-of-way issues'
Pat Dauphinais said the original concept was to get the best possible product lor the least
money.
Greg Moffet suggested that the applicants talk to Jeff Bowen regarding having trees donated for
this project lrom Trees for Vail.
6. A conceptual discussion regarding the display of banners lor quasi-community events and
activities.
Applicant: Town ot VailPlanner: Lauren Waterton
Lauren Waterton said stafl has had more and more requests lrorn hotel operators who wanted
banners to welcome conferences, etc. Staff has had td deny these requests, because they don't
reet tne sign code, but perhaps to promote conferences coming to Vail, we should take another
look at the iequest. Thii would require a policy change and a change to the sign code. Statt
was looking to receive some direction from the PEC.
Greg Moffet stated, for the record, that he might have a potential.conflict of interest, since he
was-in the business. lf anyone had a problem with him participating in this discussion, please
say so.
John Schofield said, in his dealing with Ski Club activities, any over the counter situations to
speed upthe Process was good.
Mike Mollica said special event banners were already allowed.
John Schofield suggested incorporating all banners into one policy.
Gene Uselton said he enjoyed seeing banners on Bridge Street. The down side was that there
would be banners everywhere.
Lauren Waterton stated that special evenls were those that benefitted the community and
banners are allowed for those events.
Mike Mollica suggested pursuing Option No,2 in the memo. Our current policy is subject to staff
interpretation and stalf would recommend codilication.
Greg Moffet asked if Garton's had special events?
Lauren Waterton yes, but this discussion was in reference to hotels at this point.

Town of VailPlanner: Andy Knudtsen
Andy Knudtsen gave an overview of the statf memo. Andy explained the Zoning AnalVlland
stat6d that the overall project conformed with the proposed zoning. He stated that the SDD
component did not provide a blank check, since any future moditications would have to go
through council. He stated that staff believed that a combination ol flat and pitched roofs was
prefeired. He said that staff was recommending approval with two conditions'
Tom Braun said the building design had been changed and allthe issues had been addressed.
Tom stated that the design guidelines allow for a variety of roof forms. He then said this
proposal was within the realms and that there were untold benefits associated with llat roofs.
Jim Morter said that the project had to be affordable and well designed, because it was in a
neighborhood that was welldesigned. He said that a myfiad of decisions influenced the design
of the roof tops and explained that he was not trying to be uncooperative, but the final design
included flat roofs. He then said that the most important goal was to accomplish all the goals.
He went on to say that canopies were added to give a level of sophistication and shadow lines.
Jim said that stucco wainscoting made the building look worse by giving it a checkerboard look.
He said there were two patterns of wood siding provided. Jim said il the public perceived this as
a stact ot boxes, then he told the PEC to take a look at Savoy Villas. He also said that Timber
Ridge had sloping roofs and looked worse than Savoy Villas, and gave the impression of
employee housing.
Greg Moffet asked for any public comrnent.
Jim Lamont, representing the EVHA, said that Joe Staufer had asked him to raise some
concerns. Jim said that Joe Staufer didnt like flat roofs, but that he telt lhe change in design
addbd a flair. Jim said that Joe thought it added a Taos teel. However, il could be more exciting
with stucco. Jim said he thought it stingy to say the sidewalk can't go up and around the site.
He then asked Andy how much rental housing the Town owns.
Andy Knudtsen stated that the Town owned the Town Manager's home and two other units.
Jim Lamont said the biggest demand was for rentable units. He said that the district could take
the revenues and leave. lf it was public property, lhen the Town should meet the demand. Jim
said the issue on the table was that if the units are sold, the buyer should be selected through a
lottery. Jim stated that the public would not be pleased that the first two tiers of this project
would go to the TOV workers, since it was on public property. Jim advised use of the lottery.
Jim also noted that the housing director was involved in the regulatory process. Jirn said we
needed to make it clear that the housing director should sit with the advocates, as lhe
appearance was that ot a conflict ol interest.
Greg Moffet asked for any other public comment. There was none.

Gene Uselton questioned the perpetual deed restrictions. Gene asked if the sloping roofs were
added, would the snow shedding be better.
Andy Knudtsen said roof pitches could be designed in such a way that snow shed problems
could be eliminated. As an alternative, snow fences could be added-
Gene Uselton said he had a hard time guessing what this project would look like and asked if the
PEC was making a recommendation to the Town Council at this worksession.
Greg Amsden said an SDD was not appropriate for this site. He said that stafl was
recommending an SDD in order to limitthe GRFA, which was a misuse of the SDD. He then
suggested thai it could be construed as employee housing. He went on to say that it did not
coiiorm and was not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood due to the flat roofs. Greg
stated that alfordability was not driving this project. Greg said that the wood siding did not fly
with him. Greg felt that vertical with horizontal siding was shown and he would like to see a
lower maintenance product. He then asked about the landscaping. Greg also asked what the
typicat occupancy of the 3-bedroom unit would be.
Greg Amsden thought every garage would have one car parked outside. He said that the project
should be palatable and not allow outdoor parking on Sandstone Rd. He also expressed
disappointment that no one shows up at the PEC meetings to offer any input.
Tom Braun stated that 30 letters were senl out for notilication to adjacent property owners earlier
in the review process.
Galen Aasland suggested tahling this item. Galen felt an SDD for employee housing was wrong,
but that MDMF was needed. Galen {elt it needed to be made compatible with existing
neighborhoods. He said he would like to see more written information about the improvernents
that could be done in the future. He suggested capping development at a certain level. Galen
said that interior improvements could work against the long term employee housing concept.
Galen would like to see a mostty stucco exterior. Galen agreed with Jim's comment about
looking at this like any other applicant. Galen also advised that, from the public aspect, we
should be careful about the Town representing itsef . Galen would like to see this item tabled.
Diane Golden thought the housing should go to critical TOV employees. She also said she didn't
remember the PEC saying vegetation was more important than the sidewalk.
Jim Morter explained that he raised a question to the PEC at the very end of the worksession,
whether landscaping or a sidewalk was more important along Red Sandstone Road.
Diane Golden also stated that the PEC forced a horne in East Vail to remove sod and replace it
with bluegrass.
Andy Knudtsen showed, according to the renderings, where the wetland mitigation was to
happen.
Diane Golden stated that she liked the design of Savoy Villa. She said that architects say there
are benefits to flat roofs and so therefore, she was not afraid to go with the expert's opinion. She
stated that she was thrilted to see employee housing incorporated into a neighborhood.

Henry Pratt comrnended Galen on his eloquence and also agreed with Greg Amsden's point of
view.
Andy Knudtsen stated that the rezoning and sDD have been linked together.
Henry Pratt said he would rather have Council have the final word and therefore' the SDD
pro.,jss r""i good one. Henry Pratt reminded gverJo.ng t!?t lve need families here' as
beasonal workels are going to be housed out at the Public Works site'
Jim Morter said there were 46 parking spaces; 18 in garages and 28 exterior' He said 36 Spaces
were all that were required.
Henry pratt said that assigning more parking to the S-bedroom units would reduce guest spaces.
Henry asked how were pdoptigoing io get io lhe bustop. He said a liability issue exists with
tattin6. ienry said thar dombtniig n6eOe? to be done to address the sidewalk, even though
Henry would prefer landscaPing.
Greg Molfet said he had no problem with the use of the SDD process and that this project
snoito oe decided by electeb ofiicials. He stated that the Town's employee housing was going to
be on public property and that we require ourselves to hqvq ho.usit1g on our land, as a private
owner'has a trouse 6n private land. Greg said that he didn't mind flat roofs. He felt' regarding
the ramp issue, that a stair case needed-to be pul in. Greg said that this climate was harsh on
wood and though it is more expensive, he wanted stucco. Greg was.in favor of this project as
long as further exterior considerations were given to the exterior finish.
pat Dauphinais stated that the plan was set and not only was it well thought out, but well
designei. He said to do this wfunin a budget where constraints were difficult. Pat said they were
not iiterested in design by committee. Ue tett that the fisherman easement was too tight He
asked for a favorable vote to go to Council'
Gene Uselton made a motion for approval with the condition that 4 spruce and 5 shrubs be
added to the landscaping area along Red Sandstone Road.
The motion was seconded by Diane Golden.
Galen Aasland asked if adding stucco t0 the outside could be included in the motion.
Gene Uselton said they have not violated code and would not amend his condition.
Greg Motfet asked for any lurther discussion.

NATIONAL FOREST I.fANAGEUENT ACT ANALYSIS
Town of Vail Landownership AdJustment
I. PURPOSE eND FEED!
The torest Service l.lanuaL (FSH 5407.1) dLrects that the Forest Supervisor
sball prepare and maintain appropriate i.rritten material to implement
Iandolrnership adjustment actionE and rights-of-way procurement in
conformance with the Forest Land and Resource Hanagemert Plan (Forestglan).
The manuat further directg that each Natlonal Forest wilI prepare a
Landownership Adjustment Analysis for incorporation into the Forese Plan as
an arnendment. The lihite River llational Forest Uanagenent Plan gives
direction with identified strategies to guide the decision maker in
conside-,ing land adjustment offers, and as a tool ln the management of the
NationaL Forest. These strategies consider acquisition and conveyance
criteria. The managenent ptan does noe present specific strategies for
areas that have ccnplex ownership patterns and associated high land
values. The Holy cross Ranger District identlfied three areas where these
conditions exist: the Town of Vai]; Town of Uinturni and the Edwards, Town
of Avon, and Eagle-Va!I area. This document plesents the possible
management practices for a landownership .adjus-,n:ent strategy in the Town of
Vail area.
?herefore, thiE Landownership Adjustment Analysis is needed to:
1. fncorporate the resFective purposes of Iaus which authorize land
purcbases, donations, sa1es, and exchanges along with
implernenting regulations !n the code of Federal Regulations (36
cFR 2541, objectives and Policies in FsM 5400,. and the White
River Resource l'lanagement. Plan (LUP).
2. Display the strategy for Iandownership adjustments on the Whlle
River National Forest in the vicinitv of the Tol.,n of Vail.
3. Provide a basis for cost effectLve lands management decisions by
disPlaying Lands whose acquisition or conveyance r,ril,1 contribute
toward accomplishment of the objectives developed to implement
the Forest Land and Resource Management and cornmunity objectj-ves.
rT. PUBLTC T NVOLVEEE}IT
In Uay of 1991 the Town of Vait and the Forest Service formed a working .
group to develop a draf,t landownership adjustment analysis. The working
group consisted of representatives from the Tor^'n of Vail., Eagle County, and
the Forest Service. The group shared plannlng documents, conducted site
\ct
o
o
vlsits, and discussed Landowatership opportunities 6nd concerns. lhe group
initially developed several statementE describing a desired future
condition for landownership patternE and adjuBtrnentE. gossible management
practices were then developed based on the desired future condition. Anaftative description and a rnap depicting the locatLon of these managementpractices !,as subsequently developed. ThiE draft Lnformatlon was the
subject of three public meetings hosted by the Town of Vail and the ForeEt
Service. The flrst meeting was r, presentation of the desired future
condition and possible management practices at a regular sessj.on of the
Town of vail Planning and Envl-ronrnentaL CdrulisBion. Several members of, the
Town councir and interested residents were present at this meeting. LaterthiE same information hraE presented at a speeial eveninq meeting. This
meeting uas weIl attended by interested residents and businesE
rep8esentat ive s. The third meeting was a final presentation of thespecific parcel research to the Vail Town Council. }{any of the cotnnente
and concerns received at the neeting were incorporated into the.final,
dra ft .
I I I, EXt STI}IC COI{DITIOI{
The To$n of VaiI is an internationalty renowned four season resort. The
municipal boundaries are essentially surrounded by National Forest Systern
Iands. Presently, the privata land within the Town is about 90 percent
developed. i.ea1 estate values ale high. The potential to create
additional plivate land suitable for development creates a highlycompetitive and speculatLve environrnent. Conversely, the purchase and
preservation of rand to be used as open space has been a high priority forlhe Toh'n of Vaj,l,. As a resultr proposed landownership adjustments within
and adjacent to the Toutn of vail are often highly controversial. Forest
service administrative decLsLons have been repeatedly appeared by the Townof Vail and.itE citizens. clvii 'Iawsuits have resulted when appellants
failed to get relief through the administratLve process. Landownership
adjustment proponents have also pursued legislative action to consurnmate
exchange proposals.
Landownership adjustmentE are costry and tlme consuming. The moEt recent
adjustment was a conveyance of two parcels to the Town of vail under theauthorities of both the Sjsk and Townside Acts. This process took Justover ten years from the time of proposal to completion- The cost to both
the Tolrn and the Forest Service was very high. A portion of the originalproposal is still being contested in civil court.
The National Forest System lands surrounding the Town of vail are highly
regarded by residents and visitor3 for their recreaeion, scenic. and
wilderness values.
The White RLver National Forest completed a Land Classification plan in
1969. tbis plan focused on acquisition priorities. In 1977, an amendment
t''iilt'\.:\
.]
to the 1959 Land Classification Plan waE approved that allowed for the
conv-eyance of two parcels for urban exgansion and to improve the public
a&ninistration of the parcelg. The amendment stated that, "if the tractE
were traded and developed it would be with the general corunitment and
aPproval of the city and county governrnents. " this decision helped to
reinforce a strong role for the Tonn of VaiI and Eagle couflty ln ForeEt
Service land ownership decisions.
fn January of 1980, Distrj.ct Ranger Nunn submitted a PetLtl.on of.Annexation
to the town of VEiI for elght parcels of National Forest System Land8
totalling 138 acres, more or less. fn February the VaiI Town CouncLl
passed an ordinance annexlng these parcels. The Toi{n 5lassed an ordinance
in April that zoned three of the subject parcels, approximately 35 acresr
as Public Use District and the remaining parcellr, approximately 102 dcr€s1
as Green BeIt and Natural Open Space. The Forest Service rnaintains that
Ranger Nunn lacked the authority to petition for annexation and therefore
the agenby does not recognize the action. The annexation and zoning of
National, Forest Systen lands by the TovJn of Vail continues to be a point of
contention t,hat further cornplicates management of adjoining lands.
The current Forest PIan, published in 1984, identifiee specifie management
requitemente for individual areas within the Forest. A management area
prescription wag cieveloped for each area. The management areaprescriptions for National Forest System lands adjacent to tbe Town of Vail
are summarized be1ow. A detail.ed descrJ-ption and the location'of these
management areas are found in Appendix A: Town of VaiI Landownership

A survey of the ?own of VaiI and National Foreet boundary braa conducted by
the folest Srvice in 1991 and numerous title claims were identified. These
title claims range from portions of homes and private roads to landscaping
and outdoor lighting on lands identified aE part of, the National Forest
System, Portions of National Forest trails and trailheads appear to be
Located on private property or Town of Vail owned lands.
National Forest System lands adjacent to the Town of ValI host numerous
componentE of the. Town's utility infrastructure. Water tanks, powerllnes,
sewer 1ines, eleetronic eitea, and roads are a few examplee.
IV. DESTRED FUTURE CO}IDTEION:
Tbe Forest Service def,ines the desired luture condition of the -
landownership pattern as that pattern expected to result lf the goals and
o,bjectives of the Forest Plan are achieved. Chapter 3 bf the Forest Plan
outlines broad goalB for the Lands program:
-Acquire private lands within wildernesE. consolidate NatLonal Foresc. Ownership Patterng.
-Acquire nece€sary rights-of-way to facilitate management of the
Forest including gublic access to National Forest System lands.
-Pursue opportunities to make lando!.rnership adjustments to improve
management efficiency for both NatLonal Forest System land and
lntermingled private landi'to meet high prlority resource management
obJectives.
. National policy prescribes that Landownership AdjuEtment Analyses shal1
classify Lands for acquisition or conveyance to achieve the following
obj ectives :
1. gnable the Forest/crass land to implement a proactive land acquisition
2. ::.t::":::'""."=.;"':"r.,,o .o acbieve the resr-slarive objectives ror
which it was established;
3. Enable the forest Service to acquire lands valuable for recreatio'1,
wildlife habitat, wilderness, and other natural resource management
purPoses;
4. Enable the Forest Service to respond to dlrectlon given by congress
for establLshnent of classified areas Euch as wildernessr natLonal
recreation areas, and scenic rivers;
5. Consolidate landownership to improve operating efficiency, .improve
efficiency fo! the development of private lands, and improve
opportunities for corflnunity expansion;
5. Reduce the need for and number of rights-of-r.'ay to provide for public
access to Nationa] Forest System land and private access to
inholdings;
7. Reduce the niles of private/Forest service property line and to reduce
the. mj.l.es of property boundary survey, poEting, and rnaintenancei
8. Reduce special use permit administrationt
9.. conveyance of 1ands, especially near communities, that are encumbered
with private useE and where acgu5-sition of other lands can better',i serve the public interesti
10. Improve opportunities for agency and private partners to provide
lecreational. wildlife, and other natural resource services;
11. Uaintain and improve the abillty to acguire key parcels through the
Land and Water ConEervation Fund Composite Programi -
12. Reconcile Recreatlon Conposite planE with the Forest pLan.
Under l'{anagement RequirementB in'the Forest Direction section of Chapter 3
in the Forest Plan, ceneral Direction statements describe Che priorities
for landownership adjustments:
1. Classify lands for acquisition or to acquire interests where lands
have been identified as more valuable for Nationat Forest purposes, or
v,rhere current or potential use of private lands would adverseLy affect
National Forest vaLues and where acguiEition would not transfer
impacts to another site accordLng to the fol1or^,ing priorities;

rn addition' the Forest servLce HanuaL direction is to avoid the disposalof National Forest systern Lands occupied under term permit unless theexisting permitted us€: can be accomrnodated by agreernent with the
Permittee. These term permits were issued and are administered based on afavorable determinatiotl that such facilities are in the public interest.rn many cases, these rands contain permanent impronements cruciar to the
operatLon of the permj.t and may best be managed under the private ownershipof the permittee.
The needE and concerns of ]ocal

cotnmon boundaries. The Town of
a set of goals for the desired
planning horizon:
corununities are an important component in
condltLon of landownership patterns along
Vail landownership working group formulated
future condition based on a ten year
1.That there be no NatLonal Forese
limitE of the Town of VaiI.
That the Forest service survey,
boundary of the Town of VaiI and
€ystem }ands wlthLn the municJ.pal
identify, and maintain the comrnon
the Forest Service and that both
q-.,
F.r
agencies share in the enforcement of regulations pertaining to the
boundary. The boundary has been simglified where possible.
S.rregularities have been reduced or elininated.
3. That all land exehanges and purchases optimize both loeal and national
public benef j.t. Conflicts with local interests are recognized in the
decision making procesE of all land exchanges and purchases, and all
effortg are made to address and mLnimize those conflictg.
4. That all lands acquJ.red by the Town of Vail are used for public
Purposes such as open space, empLoyee housing (per Town of VaiI
Employee Housing OrdLnance), recreation or for the re'solution of,
unauthorized uses.
5. That the Town of Vail, Eagle County, or the Sorest Service acguire all
privately ob'ned tracts, parcels, and previously unplatted lands
adJacent to, and outside of, the cornmon Toh'n of Vail and Forest
Service boundary. These lands are transferred to the National Forest
system, Eagle county, or the Town of Vail where joint objectives are
sati.sf ied .
6a That pubJ,ic access to National Forest system Lands be maintained or
improved. Nev, accesE points neet Town of Vail and Forest Servl,ce
needs -
7. That National Forest System Lands wLthin the study area that are
encumbered with abandoned uses, unauthorized usesl or infrastructure
related facilities are reduced or eliminated.
8. That the Town of Vail, and NationaL Forest recreation ooportunities are
Jointly planned and integrated.
9, That all unincorporated, platted resldential areas within the study'
area a)r€l annexed within the municipal limits of the Town of Vail.
10- That the wood fiber production emphasis management area (?E), aE
identified in the Forest Plan, that can be viewed from the Town of
vail be replaced by a recreation emphasis prescription.
11. That new developrnents are discouraged on private lands that exist
outside and adjacent to the lown of VaiI.
The above atatem€ntg represent both goale. that the forun of vail, Eagle
county, and the Forest service will pursue in partnership, others are
individual goals. For example, the discouragement of new developments on
private lands (Item 11) is outside the jurisdj.ction of the Forest Service
and would be the burden of the Tohrn of Val-l and Eagle County.

The range of posslble managernent practices or authorLtLes for landownership
adJustroents lnclude the purchase of non-Federal lands, donatlon of -
non-Federal lands. exchange, EaIe of Federal landE to munlcipalitieF, and
legislated adju6tments. The Town of vail landownership working group
applied these authorities to the Tohrn of vail study area in an attempt to
take advantage of the opportunities identified above. The reault waa a
na.ffative and rnap describing desired managemen! practices for landownership
adjustments (see .Attachment A)
Once a landownership adJustment is propos'ed, a parcel specific
environ$ental analysis wiII bi: conducted. This analysis rnust include a
determi.nation of publlc interest and must consider a reasonable range of
alternatives, including' no'action. The management practice identlfled for
the €ubJect paaeel(6) (Eee Attachment A) would be on€ of the alternativeg
considered in detail. The Forest Service decision maker may then choose
all or portions of any alternative considered.

CHAPTER II . LAND USE PLAN GOALS/POLICIES
The goals articulated here reflect the desires of the citizenry as
expressed through the series of public meetings that were held throughoutthe project. A set of initfal goals were developed which were then sub-stantially revised after different types of opinions were brought out inthe second meeting. The goal statements were developed to reflect a
general consensus, once the public had had the opportunity to reflect on
the concepts and ideas initially presented. The goa'l statements were then
revised through the review process with the Task Force, the Planning and
Environmnta'l Cormission and Town Council and now represent a policy guide-line for the Land Use Plan. These goals are to be used as adopted po1 icy
guidelines in the review process for new development proposals. These goa'l
statements should be used in conjunction with the adopted Land Use Plan
nap , i n the eva'l uati on of any devel oprcnt proposal .
The goal statements which are reflected in the design of the proposed Plan
are as follous.
:1. General Grorth/Developmnt
Vail should continue to grow in a control'led environment, maintaininga balance between residential , cormercial and recreational uses to
ierve both the visitor and the permanent resident.
1.2 The quality of the environment including air, water and other natural
resources should be protected as the Town grows.
1.3 The quality of deve'l opment should be maintained and upgraded whehever
possible
1.4 The original theme of the old Village Core should be carried into new
developrmnt in the Village Core through continued implementation of
the Urban Design Guide Plan.
1.5 Conmercial strip development, of the Valley should be avoided.
1.6 Development proposals on the hillsides should be evaluated on a case
by case bas'is. Limited development may be permitted for sorne low
intensity uses in areas that are not highly visible from the Valleyfloor. New projects should be carefully controlled and developed with
sensitivity to the environment.
L.7 New subdivisions should not be permitted in hign geologic hazard
areas.
1.8 Recreational and puolic facility development on National Forest lands
may be permitted where no high hazards exist if:
a) Conmunity objectives are met as articulated in the Comprehensivc
Pl an.b) The parcel is adjacent to the Town boundaries, with good access.c) The affected neighborhood can be involved in the decision-naking
process.

3-2 The village and Lionshead areas are the best location for hotels to
serve the future needs of the destination skiers.
3.3 Hotels are important to the continued success of the Town of Vail,
therefore conversion to condoniniums should be discouraged.
3.4 Comnercial growth should be concentrated in existing cormercial areasto accormodate both local and visitor needs.
3.5 Entertainment oriented businesses and cultural activities should be
encouraged in the core areas to create diversity. More night tine
businesses, on-going events and sanctioned "street happenings" should
be encouraged.
4. Iillage Core./Lionshead
4.1 Future cormercial development should contfnue to occur
existing cormercial areas. Future comercial development
areas needs to be careful'ly controlled to facilitate
del i very.

5.2
@
4.2 Increased density in the Core areas is acceptable so long as theexisting character of each area is preserved through implementation of
. the Urban Design Guide Plan and the Vail Village Master Plan.
4.3 The ambiance of the Village is important to the identity of Vail and
should be preserved. (Scale, alpine character, small town feeling,
mountains, natural setting, intimate size, cosmopolitan feeling,
environmental qual ity. )
4.4 The connection between the Villaqe Core and Lionshead should be
enhanced through:
a) Installation of a new type of people mover.b) Improving the pedestrian system with a creatively des'igned
connection, oriented toward a nature walk, alpine garden, and,/or
sculpture plaza.c) New development should be controlled to limit cormercial uses.
5. Residential
5.1 Additional residential grorth should continue to occur primarily inexisting, platted areas and as appropriate in new areas where high

VAIL TOWN COUNCTL HIGHLIGHTS FOR DECEMBER 17
Work Session Briefs
council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Kurz, Navas
-Red Sandstone Locals Housing Development
In preparation for the evening meeting, Council members met with representatives from
the board of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District to discuss details associated
with the proposed locals housing development. Distribution of units and the inclusion
of free market units were two points on which the two boards focused. Five of the 17
units will be controlled by the Town of Vail to represent its 25% share of the
partnership, while water district representatives said they intend to control the balance.
There is the potential for four units, which have been the focus of previous discussions,
to be sold as free market or "modified restricted units" (sold to a local employee at
market value with no restrictions) if needed, to help lower the selling pric6 of the otherunits. Board members said it was the district's intent to use the free market or"modified restricted" approach only if construction costs require a contingency plan to
ensure the rest of the project is affordable. The group agreed that both entiti6s would
be involved in that decision once construction costs are determined. The plan calls for
three of the Town of Vail-controlled units to be sold to life-safety employees (such asfirefighters, police officers, snow plow drivers and dispatchers),'while the other two
units would be sold to_TOV employees at large. Theie would'be trnro lottery drawings,
one for each group. During discussion yesterday, paul Johnston said he'd prefer
keeping the units as rental property Sybill Navas raised questions about tlie possibility
of retaining ownership of the land to further preserve deed restrictions placed bn theunits. The two said they didn't want to see another Pitkin Creek slip away from the
deed-restricted locals housing inventory. But Jay peterson, a water boaid member,
said the town had a buy-back provision in the Pitkin Creek project fiust as it will have in
the Red Sandstone partnership) and for whatever reason, tiiaf Uuy-6a6k option wa$n'tpursued by the town. Rob Ford, Ludwig Kurz and Kevin Foley said they were
comfortable with the deed restriction safeguards placed on thb project ind suggested it
was time to move forward with town approval. Michael Jewett said he'd tike to iee the
town purchase as many units as possible. Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners
Association said his group was comfortable with the lottery process proposed for the
town's units and expressed interest in learning how the witer district would allocate its
share of the units. A letter from Bill Wood, U.S. Forest Service district ranger, also was' (more)

--John Gulick Employee Recognition
John Gulick, assistant fire chief, was recognized for 20 years of service to the town.

-PEC Review
ln reviewing Monday's actions by the Planning and Environmental Commission, the
Council was advised of an extension of a previous condition placed on the Public
works Town shops expansion project. The pEC has extended to July 91, 1997, the
condition requiring the issuance of a building permit for three employ6e housing units
to be built on site. originaily, the pEc had riluired rhe permit to be issued prti'r to
issuanee of a temporary certificate of occupancy for the expansion of the bub barn.
Due to the expanded scope of the housing development, additional time had been
requested. The expanded development will be constructed in the summer of lgg7 with
occupancy for seasonal workers by November of next year. For more information,
contact Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at479-2440.
--lnterview Applicants for 2 Marketing Board positions

evening, the Council reappointed Slifer and selected Fournier to serve four year terms.

-Ordinance Allowing Time-Share As Conditional Use In Public Accommodation Zone
District
After reviewing an ordinance that would allow time-share estate units, fractional fee
units and time-share license units as conditional uses in the Public Accommodation
zone district, council members expressed concern about the broad scope of theproposal. Those concerns were repeated at the evening meeting and the ordinance forfirst reading was tabled to the Jan. 7 meeting. The ordiiance is-proposed at therequest of Sonnenalp Properties, Inc. The ploposal includes a fiactionat fee club
redevelopment of the Austria Haus property at242 East Meadow Drive, in addition tohotel rooms and other improvements. Approval of fractional fee club units as a
conditional use within the zone district is needed before the applicant is able toproceed with its request for a Special Development District foi iedevelopment. Duringyesterday's discussion, Council members heard an overview of the fraciional fee
concept, including a successful example buitt in Deer Valtey. Although
councilmembers praised the Austria Haus proposal, most said they were
uncomfortable allowing the more traditional time-share approaches (estate units andlicense units) within the scope of the ordinance. Rob Foid, in particular, said he
(more)

wanted the provision to ensure retention of existing hotel rooms. The applicant then
proposed narrowing the ordinance by focusing on the fractional fee concept and
eliminating the other time-share provisions (which are already allowed as a conditional
use in the High Density Multi-Family zone district). Jim Lamont of the East Village
Homeowners; Dan Tellen an adjacent business owner;and pam Hopkins urged-the
Council to proceed with caution. Please see evening briefs for more informition, or

yesterday, the Council approved a plan to involve the public in developing a schedule
for construction. The public process wilt occur in January and Februaiy. -lf the town
findslunding partners for the $5.5 million project, construction could begin as early as

trees would be Planted.
John Scholield seconded the motion'

ilenry Pratt amended the motion.
The motion passed unanimously by a vote of 7-0.
S. A request for a joint worksession with the DRB and PEC for a rezoning from General
Use to Medium Density Multi-family, and a request for the establishment of a Special
Development District tL allow for tlie developnient of 17 EHU's, located on an unplatted
parcel in a portion of Parcel A and part of Block D, Lionsridge Filing # 1
Applicants: Eagle River Water and Sanitation District and the Forest Service
Planner: Andy Knudtsen
Greg Moffet welcomed Brent Alm, Clark Brittain and Ted Hingst, the DRB members present for
this worksession.
Andy Knudtsen gave an overview of the request and explained that the three parties involved
hav6 all signed tie applications necessary io get the plan going. The primary purpose of the ...
SDD was io ans*er ir6ignnor's questions regarOing tuture Oevelopment. 100% of the units will
be deed restricted. ThdDistrict ind Town oiVait emptoyees are the target market. Density is
much less than what the Zone District allows, as shown on the Zoning Analysis in the memo.
Another imporiant component is the LOAA, which Andy explained. He.explained tltal tlti? YT.
an etfort to get a cleanboundary and to create sites for employee housing. Andy stated that this
was a high [riority fsr economii stability and also that the lrovision of affordable housing would
.
help the"viability 6f the community. Aniy saiel that the proposed density. is below other sites and
thai suitability is consistent with tlre coniext. Staff expiessed concern about the architectural
design and wanted to hear from both Boards and the neighborhood, regarding architgctural
com[atibility. A root overhang and a pitched roof would break up the mass. He said that since
the iorner 6t he road is highir, the flat roofs would be very visible where the road divides' Andy
proceeded to go over the d-iscussion issues. He stated that there are arguments both pro and
ton for two crirbcuts, but stafi would look at the safest and what would meet the rnost needs'
Andy went over the landscaping and stated that there may be an opportunity to get more
land-scaping in the area, while still preserving the existing landscaping.
Greg Moffet said two areas to focus on were the landscaping and the architecture. He Stated the
need for the public to commenl on these issues'

Tom Braun explained that the district had this land available and had taken a leadership role in
il;ffg th"'p.i""t. Tom stated thar they were trying to create an opportunity for families'.by

ft;J;d a safeguard. nai ro6ts were an issue but Tom delerred to Jim Morter' He did mention
that there were a numOer ot ttat roois in the neighborhood. The precedent has been established'
such as Simba Run, etc. He mentioned that the road is still under turther study to see how to
;tfi rh. ipeed of rrattic Oeiore ine OtinO spot. He said that they were extending the_ retaining
*itt to get rrees oetween fre road and the buildings. lt is toush 19 fing tJ99s that will do well on
this site. He stated tnat tfre deveiopment standards were within the standards of the Town'
e"r"g;r were oversized in order td provide storage, as well as1ryr1. T,o-p_ring all this in at an
affordable level was a challenge. T6m introduced Jim Morter, Pat Dauphinais and Gerry
Roberts.
Jim Morter said the first thing to be considered was scale. The kindest scale for the site was to
have 4 smaller buitOings. F; ihe footprint and the bulk, Jim felt the smaller size worked. Jim
stated he was propos'l-ng seven t -bediooms, five 2-bedrooms and live 3- bedrooms. This proiect
would be state of tfre art toi accessibility and usability. Jim asked for questions. He wanted to
r.t e tnis out ol the typical genre of affoidable housing. The shadow pattefn.gave Snimat]gll? --,the buildings, as opibsed [o blocks of buildings. There were onei Wvo and three storles all mlxeo
in- fne ne-ignOors'in Potato Patch, when looliing down, would see a wedding cake "flecl-ii1^,-stated there-would be 24 flat roots with a lot of stair stepping. The functional reason tor flat rools
wis to etiminate snow dumping. lt would be easier to shed snow where people-are no!: llgt
rools made it easier to coniain-rinter problems. The second reason for flat roofs was that the
mass would appear smaller with flat r6ofs. The third reason was to provide visual interest with a
itilr-step Oesign. Roof penetrations, such as vents (since there will be no fireplaces), would
have all the items clustered together. This has given Jim the opportunity to form a sculpture.
within the project. Jim stated i-nat he would likeio ask both Boards to have an open mind' when
it comes to the flat roof issue.
Greg Moffet asked for any public commenls.
Jim Lamont, speaking on behalf of Ralph Davis of Action Vail, stated that the focus should be on
the principles.' The manner that it was brought lorward last spring caused anguish. lt was
brought t6 the attention of Action Vail. The homeowners made every etfort to calm everyone.
Rctio-n Vail has always said that public open space, if transferred, should be:retained as open
space. Jim had queltions for Tom Braun regarding the status of the driveway options Td . .
d'esignating it as i permanent easement. Jim also wanted to know what other avenue Brooktree
had for access.
Tom Braun said that it is not yet a permanent easement, but that it was a possibility.
Jim Lamont asked if the access could be shared.
Tom Braun said that a new access, to the south ol the proposed driveway, was being
considered.
Jim Lamont asked Tom Braun if the right-of-way on Red Sandslone was dedicated.

Tom Braun said it could be dedicated.
Jim Lamont asked about the 1Oo-year floodplain. Jim stated that this was public property and
the current problems needed to b6 resolveci. Jim stated that when the Lionsridge area was
annexed, the land use pattern was predetermined. Jim stated that there was a need to take a
hard look at the stream rigni-ot-wai. He asked, " Are we taking a public piece of property and
iuining lt into a private piSce of prcipertyZ" The public deservei a bidewalk and access to the
iirearil. He mehfioned'tnal wfrdn tie *'as on thd Board, he found that there is never a benefit'
wnen rc public has been denied. lt the units go up for a lottery,.that would be line' but all the
citizens of the Town should have a chance. ltis wiong to have the people benefiting from it that
*eie iuOging and reviewing it. However, Jim could see the first preference being given to
emergency personnet.
Bob McLaurin disagreed with a couple of issues. The tirst was the land exchange'^Bob had . . .
been criticized forirsing this parcel. There was a net gain of money lo the Forest Service, which
exceeded the value, resulting in no net loss to the Forest Service. The tand was to be used for
nouii"g for Town of Vail emiloyees. When people call 911, Ior example, one wouldri't get an.
answer-if employees are not abie to live neaby.' Bob said there was not one single fireman who
iiu"i in the Tbwn of Vail and only two police o{iicers that live in the Town of Vail. lt was clearly
irr"iponiiOf" for the Town of Vail to not move in this direction. This housing-development would
be fiiled with critical employees, with the remaincler going to lottery tor the leftover units. This
proiect would provide ah o'pporiunity lor poline olfice-r's timilies to be here. The Town of Vail
would like to exercise a righi ot first'refudal. Bob said that the Town had an obligation to provide.
the services and was naving a harder time competing with areas that have a less expensive cost
of fiuing. With all due respict to Jim, rhe Town bhould nave done this 10 to 15 years ago' As the
town'j long term employees start to retire, lhe Town needs to start to take pro-active measures
now-
Jim Lamont said in response to his good friend Bob, that the rninute these public. units were.-sold
to the private sector, there would be a problem when the employees leave the iob. I ne puD-llc
inter"dt needed to be protected. Prioriiies should be given to emergency personnel first. After
requesting that the density be lowered, Jim stated that this should be rented t0 emergency
personal and include public access to the creek'
Bob McLaurin said rentals would not work for the majority of the work force. In order for
occupants to receive tax deductible benefits, the project had to be owner occupied.
Ralph Davis said that Bob hit the nail on the head. He also would hate to call 911 and lind no
ond there. Ralph stated that the units should not be sold and that rental rates should be below
market rental rates. He said the rent should be less than what it would cost to own. This proiect
might just fit the need for emergency personal.
Pat Dauphinais, representing the Water and Sanitation District, stated that this would have a
public bdnefit . Eniployees tiving on the other side of Dowd Junction can't respond to
'emergencies like a'loch residerii could . There would be a lirst right of {irst refusal. The Water
Distriit would maintain first right of refusal on all the units. Though the Water District cant
commit to housing only emer[ency personnel, this housing would be available to Water District
personnel, policeifire'and hoipitai fersonnel. The public interest would be well served. Even
inougn tand is Ueing translendd troh tfre public to the private sector,. it would still serve the
comirunity. Even tFough they would be iold, the Water District would have the right of first
refusal.
Plarmirg and Environmental Commission
Minutes
September 9, 1996
Henry Pratt asked if it would be possible for the Town to have 2nd right of refusal on the Water
District units?
Pat Dauphinais said that was a great idea and would dovetail that in.
Henry Praft stated that conceivably, there could eventually be no Town of Vail employees living in
these units.
Bob McLaurin said a sale could be forced, via the deed restrictions, for violations to the policy'
Pat Dauphinais said deed restrictions would be conditions of the sDD.
Bob McLaurin stated that he didn't want all the Town of Vail workers living together.
Jim Lamont stated that we need the Town Manager to explain how this will work'
Bob McLaurin stated that the Town is pursuing rentals on the Public Works site and on other
properties- He stated that it was esseirtiat to iraintain the cornmunity's.economic viability and
itrai it woutO be problematic in the future, il this problem is not dealt with now.
pat Dauphinais said the Water Board felt a responsibility to the public. .Pat said that the current
proposai was the most positive thing to be don'e with thit groynd The benefits would lar exceed
ih;ifft teim pubtic lois, by shuttirig down the neighborhood dog toilet.The Water District no
tbnger needs the plant on-siie. The public good wili be served better by far with this Proiect.
Jim Lamont stated that there would be a need tor a sidewalk; that the creek be recognized as. a
recreational amenity, and dedicated as a public access easement; that the Town should require
the dedication of some open space, to be consistent with other projects. He summarized by
saying that the public should get something back.
Greg Moffet asked for other public comments- There was none'
Starting with the DRB: Clark Brittain said he responded favorably to the design. The presentation
reinforced his feeling about the design. Each building, as a modular sculpture' was very
appeafing. When lotking down on t6e buildings fromthe road, a better vantage pointis_possible
ahb me differences would be accentuated. Clark said that the project is going in the right
direction.
Ted Hingst thought the design was a good way to avoid cubes. Ted still had a problem. with the
flat roofs-. ne su-ggested per-traps false lronting was a solutlon. He was, however, looking
lorward to seeing the proiect develop.
Brent Alm thanked Jim Morter and the PEC for letting the DRB have a chance to make
comments at this schematic level. He stated that there needs to be more landscaping on the
east side. Also, Brent said that to break the 17 units into tour buitdings was a go0d idea. The
architecture was simple and straightforward. Brent was not opposed to {lat roofs, but would like
to see shed roots adbed to soften fte design. The stacked design was helpful. lt was.important
io iee tne renderings. The use ol material-s with two dif{erent types of sidings and stight color
variations was best.
Jim Morter stated that the intent was to use subtle variations.

that the 3-bedroom units needed more than a one-car garage'
Jim Morter stated that some of the 3-bedroom units had two-car garages.
Galen Aasland said he would like to see the project embrace the creek better and that the
ptop"rty across the road inouE be aOOressdd. balen telt that this project had significant pYblic
Leriefit.' He telt also mat peopte that were able to buy were better otf than paying rent and the
right of first refusal with the second right of refusal was a good idea'
Diane Golden thanked the water District. Responding to Galen's comments about the sDD' she
said thar the pubtic int*relt *iJu"nei protecrdd with Ihe sDD. Diane felt thal the bleakup ol the
buildings was very goocl.
Henry pratt said Jim Lamont had brought up sorne macro issues, compared to the tlat roofs.
H"nri t"fi that it was important for the Lnits'to be owner-occupied. There was a need lo insure
that emergency personnel be housed at this site. He telt that it would be counter-productive.for
employee-s to trdve to sell. Henry said that we need to find a position somewhere between Jim
Lamont and the Town Manager.
Henry pratt believed that the architecture was far superior to the_Commons. But' he also stated
that Lionshead was going away from flat roofs, towaids a more European style ' This ploje.ct
needed shed roofs, ind 6vernings with more detail. Henry stated that flat rools were clearly
more efficient in this town, and thlat it was a good choice from his perspective; however' subject
to criticism. Henry said that to satisfy the public perception, the designed needed to break up the
boxes. ln laymails terms, he expredsed ioncern that the public would equate stacked boxes
with public housing.
Henry Pratt Said to deed back Open space was a good idea; however, the space was.not.an .
aO-eq'Late iije. A public path al6ng the creek could be done within the 30'setback. lt might be a
iomiromise to opbn it to the public, but it would get used and appreciated. Henry questioned
ine imount ot sp'ace allocated for snow storage.
-From his years at-Pitkin, he stated that snow
iifeican gei tobe 25' high. He didn't have aleel tor curbcirls and felt that could be left up to the
?own to hindle. Henry igreed with Jim Lamont about the sidewalks. Sidewalks encouraged
peopte to walk to the busltop. The path along the creek would enable Brooktree residents to cut
bcrdss anO use the bus stop. Trees were needed to provide privacy. Tre_es would put the . .
pioi""t into its own enclave. Henry disagreed with Gilen regarding the SDD- An SDD would
iroviOe the vehicle necessary for a minor degree of down zoning'
John Schotield said that as this project progresses, he would like to have more information on
tfre floodptain and also a public iath atdng ihe stream. A common access with the adjacent
fropetty'o*ners would O6 prefeiabte. JoFn said that he was not a big fan of flat roots and would
iixe to dee some sloped roofs and a mix ol siding materials.

Greg Mofiet wanted to compliment the development team on the proJessional presentation. Jim
Lam"ont had raised tome uilid concerns. This worksession was the context lor these concerns
to be raised. Greg was i-i[g[t"d tnat tnis was aimed in the direction of family housing' Greg telt
that owned was better tfran iented. Greg was in agreement that the-SDD was the appropriate-^
mechanism for this. rn r."sponte io ttre-iown Maniger's concerns, Greg. said that when the PEC
reuLweO the Public WorLsiite, it required housing'-This was a step in the right direction in
"Oai".uing

of future maintenance. GrEg igreed with Heiry on the laidscaping issue' Greg liked the design
and had no Problem with it.
Jim Lamont said the East Village Homeowner's Association favored this zone district. The time
that his elapsed for the publiciight-of-way was well beyond the prescriptive rights' That portion
not owned tiy the Town should be dedicated to the Town of Vail'
Greg Moffet asked if the proposed MDMF zone district was an upzonlng'
Andy Knudtsen said, yes. He further stated that this project was treated no differently than
otheis. He felt the GRFA was low enough so that the right of way concerns would be a moot
issue.
Tom Braun summarized all the comments. He stated that everyone was comfortable with the
SDD, w1h the exception of Greg Amsden and Galen Aasland. The vehicutar circulation to be
*orr.bo out by the Town engineir. He said that they would look atthe stream access corridor
JnO sfuOi tnri buitding orieniation with more landscdping bctween the road and the project. The
Armv Coip had no inieresl in ihe smatt area of wetta'nOs. Tom said that Fluss Forest will walk it
with him.
Andy Knudtsen stated that an Environmental lmpact analysis had been done.
Tom Braun thought that dedicating open space was fairly unique for this type ol project, but that
he would look into it, as well as the flat roofs.

Greg Moffet said the sDD stated a complete review was to go to the DRB and he thanked the
presenters.
Jim Morter asked if there was one priority given the constraiants of the right-of-way'
The PEC said landscaPing.
Jim Morter said that public safety would dictate the road right-of-way issues.
Pat Dauphinais said the original concept was to get the best possible product for the least
money.
Greg Moftet suggested that the applicants talk to Jeff Bowen regarding having trees donated for
this project from Trees for Vail.
6. A conceptual discussion regarding the display oJ banners for quasi-community events and
activities.
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Lauren Waterton
Lauren Waterton said staff has had more and more requests trom hotel operators who wanted .
banners to welcome conferences, etc. Staff has had td <teny these requests, because they don't
*"etinl signcode, but perhaps io promote conferences cohing to Vail, we should take another
fooh at the lequest. Thid would reqlire a policy change and a change t0 the sign code' Staff
was looking to receive some direction from the PEC.
Greg Moftet stated, lor the record, that he might have a potential€onflicl of interest, since he
was"in the business. lf anyone had a probleri with him larticipating in this discussion, please
say so.
John Schofield said, in his dealing with Ski Club activities, any over the counter situations to
speed up the Process was good.
Mike Mollica said special event banners were already allowed.
John Schofield suggested incorporating all banners into one policy'
Gene Uselton said he enjoyed seeing banners on Bridge Street. The down side was that there
would be banners everYwhere.
Lauren waterton stated that special evenls were those that benefitted the community and
banners are allowed for those events.
Mike Mollica suggested pursuing Option No. 2 in the merno. Our current policy is subiect to staff
interpretation and stafl would recommend codification.
Greg Moffet asked if Garton's had special events?
Lauren Waterton yes, but this discussion was in reference to hotels at thi$ point.

Galen Aasland did not want to see Nike or Budweiser out there every week' Signage needed t0
be very low keY.
Diane Golden agreed with Galen and Greg Amsden regarding displaying banners at conference
facilities.
Henry Pratt agreed with John to make the process simpler- The westin had medical
conferences on un on-goinl O"iit. ffti" ndeded to be bontrotled' Henry had no problem with
hotels putting up banners that had positive community impacts'
Lauren Waterton asked how do we dilferentiate?
Henry Pratt stated that the Jerry Ford banners were up a month after the event' We run the risk
of having banners uP PermanentlY.
Mike Mollica suggested allowing banners based on the size of the conference or number of
attendees.
Henry Pratt said quantifying makes the process worse. Maybe banners should only be allOwed at
the front door. Henry didn't know how this could be regulated'
Greg Moftet said he was hearing the 1st amendment.
Tom Moorhead said content neutral recognizes constitutional issues.
Greg Moftet said we needed a distinction of welcoming dealers without an advertising logo.
Tom Moorhead said clearly the more banners we allowed, the more likely we woutd be to get into
that arena. lt then becomes a concern.
Greg Moffet said permitting banners at hotels- when hosting groups,. is a good thing. lt would
irsl"O" gooO Uuriness roiimirr attendees. Greg didn't have a problem with logos adverlising
ineir protu"t. lf we are going to change the sii'n code, we need to leave a little room to make
decisions. Greg was cotn'tortiUt" lenin-g staft mlke these decisions and not changing the code.
Diane Golden asked if we thought using a banner was going to sway customers from one resort
to another.
Greg Moffet said it was just a watm, fuzzy thing.
John Schofield said banners were good for directional, not advertising.
Tom Moorhead said if we allow banners lor directional purposes, we could prohibit the use of
corporate logos,
John Schofield asked about the Rolex Junior Olympics?
Tom Moorhead said that was allowed, since it was a sponsor unrelated to the event'
Dominic Mauriello explained that content neutral means having "Coors, 'without he logo.
Tom Moorhead stated fhat having a logo on the sign was olf-sile advertising'

ACCESSIBI..E HOUTE
Introduction
The Americans wirh DisabilityAcr (ADA) rnd the ADA
Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) use several tenns ro describe
different qpes of pedestrian routes or paths through a given
faciliry. These indude circularion parh, accessible route, path
oftravel, and acccssible path ofeevel. Ovedrpping and often
similar, these terms are not inrcrchangeable. Even though the
zubject of drc Tedr Sheet is accessible roures, ir is important
to higlrlight the differences in the terms used to describe these
pedestrian routes.
A circrhtion peth is ery route through r building and a
building site. Circulation paths are used by everyone and are
loeted wherever people wdlc Theymayindude stairs and srcps.
Accessiblc route!, on the other hand, are circuladon paths
minus step$ c/hich makes them usable by people who are in a
wheelchair or s@orer or who may have ditrailty dimbing stairs.
An accessible rourc is a continuous, unobstructed pedestrian padr
rvith no abrupt changes in level.
It is imponant to nor€ rhat an aocessible route is alwayr
r circulation path but a circulation path may not alwaln be an.
accessible route. All cirarlation paths, including accessible routes
and sairs, must be free of hazardous protruding objeca that may
be dangeroru to e person with a vinral impairmeng see page 13
of this Tedr Sheec
The rcrm path of travcl is used in the Deparmrent of
Justice's ADA Tide III Find Rule erdusively when altentions
are being mcde to exisdng buildings and facilities. A path of
travel is required to an altered area; this path oftravel indudes
an accessible route. See page 7 for r more detailed discrrssion
of accessible path of eavel.
Because an accessible route linls dl accessible elements and
features withia a building widr all other accessible buildingB and
accessible site amenities it is tius possible for people wirh a wide
range of disrbilities, to maneurrcr safely and to use a facility
successfrrlly. Exterior accessible routes may indude parking
access risles, ctrb ramps, crosswelks at vehiorlar ways, walk,
ramps, and lifis. fu thc accessible route continues into a building,
it may indude orridors, doorunln, floors, rarnps, etevators, lifu,
and dear floor space ar 6rm[es. Accessible routes may also
indudc tLy *ral&s, tunnels, and para of many public and common
use spaces. Characteristics and features along accessible routes
tlrat must be given carefrrl attention are width of roure, ground
and floor nrrfaccs, heedroom, protnrding objeca, detectable
werningr doors, slope of routc, cross slope, and changes in levels
eccomplished with curb ramps, ramps, lifts, elevztors.

Typieal Elements and Features Connectsd by an Accesslble Route
Stairs Are Never Part
of An Accessible Route
Curbs, steps, srairs, escahtors, and some thresholds can never
be part of or interrupt an accessible route. fuiy vertical change in
level greater than l/4 inch may pr€vent use of a route by people
in wheelchairs and others who cannot dimb sairs. The ADMG
speciGcations for stairs make stairs safer for everyone and more
usable by people with mobility impairments who can climb stairs.
It is recommended that all srairs meer the requirements of 4.9 Steirs.
Where steirs are insalled betrreen floors and,/or ground
surfaces that are required to be accessibte, there must be an
accessible route connecting the lwels (except in buildings that
meet the criteria for the elerrator exempcion, see page 5 of this
Tech Sheet). If a ramp, elevator, or lift is dre means to get
berween levels, the seirs connefting those levels need not
complywith ADAAG 4.9 Stairs.
The opposite is rue, if stairs are the only way to ger bew€en
floors, they must comply with the ADAAG suir requirements.
When ssirs are provided along with ramps, elevarors, or lifrs,
it is best that they be located in close proximity to each other so
people who must use one or the other need not uavel en rruee-

ACCESSISLE ROUTE
ADAAG Scoping Requirements
for Accessible Routes
In any facility there may be severd'routes" to any given
feanrre. At least one of drc "routes'must meet the criteria for an
accessible route and adjoin thc clear 0oor space at all elemenc,
feahres, and spaces required o be accessible. All new buildings
must be designed and built with at leest one rccessible route
meering the ADAAG requirements.
The requirements for.ccessible routes are found in two
secdons of the ADAAG: (l) 4.1 Minimurn Requiremens and
(2) 4.3 Accessible Route. Section 4.1, known as the "scoping"
provision, sutes whidr and how many elemenc, features, and
spaces must be accessible and musttherefore be on an rccessible
route. Section 4.3 provides the tedrnical requiremenc for the
design of the accessible rout€. Tte other remaining technical
requiremenr of 4.2 through 4.35 provide design informrtion on
how building features, elemene, and spaces should be designed
and inselled to be accessible.
Accessible Routes in New Construction
ADAAG 4.1.2 and 4.1.3
At least one accessible route complying with 4.3 Accessible
Route must connect dl accessible elernents that are used for
getting onto dre sirc such as parlcing speces, bus stops, passenger
loading zones, public transportation stops, and public streets urd
sideqalks within the boundary of the site to an accessible build-
ing entrance. The rourc must also connert other accessible
building: and accessible site amenities such rs pioric areas, pools,
resrooms, and outdoor telephones with each other and link all
accessible spaces and elemens $ddtin the building or faciliry to
accessible entrances.
ln eddition to newly consilructed buildings and facilitjes
thrt must have an acessible route linking all accessible feanrres
and elemens, temporarysmrcrures mustaho mmplywith the
ADAAG and be provided with an accessible route. "Temporary
buildingp and facilities are not penurnent construcrion but are
extensively used or are essential for public use for a short period
of time'(ADAAG 4.1.1(4) Temporary Suucrures).
Temporary building rnd frcilities that are covered by the
ADAAG include, but are not limircd to: reviewing stands,
temponry classrooms, bleadrer areas, exhibit ar€es, temporary
banking facilities, temporary health screening senrices, or tempo-
rary safe pedestrian passag€s'a)s rround e consrnrcrion site.
I99'C BARRIERFREEENVIRONMENTS,INC. I INOREGRAI{TIHI3sOIOIZI
ACCESSIBLE EOUTE
However, under Tide III, no rccessible route is required to
sbuctttres, site, and equipment direcdy associared with the
acnral processes of consrruction such as construcrion trailers,
scrffolding, and bridging.
Multistory Building;s With No Elevator. Even buildings
that utilize the elerator exemption musr have an accessible route
on each floor and must provide all accessible elemenr rnd
features as required by thc ADAAG. See BFE note regarding
elewmr exemption in the sidebar.
By providing accessible rourcs on 0oors not currendy served
by an elevamr, people widr mobility impairments can srill work
on r building's second floor if they can climb suirs (such seirs
must meet dr€ design requiremena of ADAAG 4.9 Steirs).
Once on the upper level, the person rnay then use r wheelchair,
scooter, or other mobility device that is kept on that level. If
en elevator is installed at a later date or an eddition or a second
building with an elevator is added and connected to the origind
building, an eccessible route is already provided throughout tJre

Even though alterations are being made to a building or

Hjstoric Places or is designarcd rs historic under Sute or local
hw, the alteradon still must comply with *re alterations provi'
sions of the ADAAG. However, when alterations are being made
to hismric buildings and sites, a faciliry mey nor be required to
provide an €xterior and inrcrior accessible route (induding ramps

tion. The alternative requiremens of 4.1.7(!) may be used onlyif
the fecility hu been reviewed by the State Historic Preseryadon
Officer or a certified local government historic presenrarion

rccessibiliry requirements in 4.t.6, the alrcradons secrion, would
dueaten or desroydre hisuical significane ofthe btrilding c 6cility.

ln very unuzual sinradons such as cliffdwellings or isoland

provides flexibiliry for modifring individual work stations ;s a
"reasonable accommodation." (Other locd reguladons, however,
may scipulate rninimum aisle widths that musr be provided
between work stations.) Under the "reasonable accommodrtion'
provisions of Tide I of the ADA @mployment), an employer
may be required to provide accessibility of an individual work
are3 or station to accommodate the needs of an employee with
a disability.
Other work iueas ilch as medranical or boiler rooms and
restaurant kitchens must & on an accessible route; but equip-
ment need not be accessible. It is reommended drar rhe accessible
route extend into the space or room for a distance ofrt teast 48
indtes (the length of a wheelchair padcing spece, see ADAAG
4.2.4.1 Size [of a sationary wheelchair end ocorpantJ).

Surface Textures ADAAG 4.3.6
Acceptable T1pes. Accessible rourcs musr always have sable,
firm, and slip-resisunt surftces. These are the easiest and srfest
surfaces for people who have diffculty walking or maintaining
balance or who rse crutches, canes, walkers or mobility devices
such as wheelchairs or s@orers. Soft, loose, slippery or irreguler
surfaces may significandy slow dowrr or even prevent Ervel-end
can be dengerors. Such zurfeces mey pose a tripping hazard and
may cluse ambulatory people wirh mobiliry and/or bdrnce
impairmens to frll.
Rolling over soft loose surfsces such as deep pile carpeg loose
sand, gravel, grass, and some dirt surfaces is difficult or impoe-
sible for most manual wheelchair users. People who rse electric
wheelchairs or scooters may have difficulw on such surfaces since
exea force is required to dvel on them. ihis may drain baner-
ies quickly and can Ieave tle person stranded.
Irregular surfrces sudr rs cobblestones and similar uneven
brick or concrete pavers are also unacceptable on an accessible
route.All cirorlation paths and accessible routes should be kept
free ofany debris such rs wilst€ paper, leaves, and grrvel which
can impede eavel.
Carpea ADAAG 4.5.3 specifies ther carperused on circularion
paths and on accessible routes must be secruely atrached and anv
exposed edges must be frstened to the floor surface with trim.
The carpet mrut hrve a level or temrred loop, or a level cur or
level cut/uncut pile texore with a mrximum pile thiclcres of

often prefered, dre carpct is installed without r pad.
Some people who unlk with crutches, ualkers, or qrnes
prefer a carpeted floor srface to a hsrd smooth floor. However,

Slip-Resisance. Slip-resistance is en essendal feamre of the
sur&ce of an accessible route and is based upon the fricdonal
force necessary to keep r shoe heel or crutch tip from slipping
on e welking surface. Many common building materials suimble
for flooring are now labeled with tire ustatic coefEcient of fric-
tion" (see sidebar for recommended ratings).
Tbe coefficient of biction may be significandy reduced to
the poinc of un.cceptable performance by water, Iloor finishes,
and other contaminant$. Watern ice, or snow ann crelte danger-
ous slippery conditions. Faciliry maintenance must routinely
address these changing conditions.
Gretings. Drainage Fatings can be a hazard when placed in
welking nrfaces ofcircularion patfu and accessible routes. Ifthe
openingt in the grate are large the frontcasters of a wheeldrair
can stip inrc thern, causing the cheir to tip and the ocarpant
to fdl. Similrr diffictlties are experienced by people who use
cnrtches, canes, or walk€rs. All gradnp loceted in wallcing
surfaces must have spaces with the smdler dimension no grealer
than t/2 inch. Gretings with recungul.r openings shell be
insulled with the long dimension of the opening perpendianlar
m the dominant direcrion of travel.
Small Changcs in Level. Smdl abruptchanges of level in the
$rface of an accessible route pose a tripping hazard for many
people. People who wrlk wearing braces andy'or who have difE-
orlry mainaining bdance arc paniorlarly zusccptible to catdring
their rces on smdl level dranges.
Such uneven surfaces frequendy ocnrr where there is a
marerial drange, where rhere is surfrce damage from weathering,
or where construction practices havc not been well monitored.
While it is best m have no changes in level, there crn bc a verti-
cd change in lwel up to l/4 inch. A change in level between l/4
inch and l/2 inch musr be beveled (at l:2). Changes greater thrn

Edge Protestion ADAAG 4.8.7
Edge protection is required by ADAAG only ar ramps and
landingp widr drop-offs. However, dre edges of ciranladon patl'rs
induding accessible routes may have abrupt drop-offs or steeply
sloping sides, or such drop-offs may develop over rime due to
erosion. A person with either e mobiliry or visual impairment
could accidentelly travel offthe edge of the peth and slip or
fall because of an abrupr level change.
Drop-offs may also occur along the edges ofbalconies,
porches and at other similar building condirions. Although
porches and balconies genenlly are requfued to have guard-
rrils, the distance between venical zuppors may nor be nerrow
enough to prevent tle smdl casters on wheelchairs and cene or
crutch tips from sliding offthe edge. It is recommended rhar
phy,ud barriers such as orbs, walls, railings, or projecting
srrrfeces be installed dong the edge of a circulatjon path of
accessible route where drop-offs occtr. Ifcubs are used they
should be r rninimum of 2 inches hieh.

Mr. Andy Knudtsen
Senior Housing PolicY Planner
Town of Vail
75 S. Frontage Road
Vail, CO 81657
Hello Andy,
A brief narrative regarding the architectural design of the Red Sandstone
Affordable Housing project is as follows:
1. Per your letter to Tom Braun dated September 13, 1996, a consensus
exists that the architectural design is "very high quality," and is'Tar
superior to the Vail Commons architecture."
2. However, we were asked to review certain aspects of the design, which
we've done in a very serious, comprehensive way.
3. We made a long, hard, serious, but fruitless attempt to gracefully add
sloping roofs to our buildings.
4. We have added appropriate elements at the entries and decks that
provide a coordinated, sophisticated level of detail. We not only provide
additional shadow pattems to our walls, but we also have interesting
shadow patterns on our roofs from our varying parapet heights.
5. Further, we have developed interesting, efficient details at doors and
windows.
6. Further, as discussed at the joint work session of PECIDRB, we are
proposing two color shades, and a third color shade for trim and accent
elements, atl of which is coordinated with the color of the ballast on the
roofs.
MonrcnAncnrECTS
Page2
7. Also please note the addition of the "chimney" forms that wilt house all
roof penetrations.
We continue to be enthused about the design of this affordable housing project
as it cornfortably takes its place in the neighborhood and meets the Town of
Vail's stated goals for affordable housing.

RE: Revised SDD Submittal
Dear Andy:
Jererny Roberts of Morter .A,rchitects will be submitting a revised set of plans for the Red
Sandstone Local's Housing Project next week. The following summarizes our response to the
major issues that have been raised by the planning staff, town engineer and PEC.
/ Site Access
ecces to ttt" site has been modified to a re-designed shared access with Brooktree and Sandstone
Park. Terry from the public works department has reviewed this revision in the field with our
engineer. This solution, while more costly, will result in only one curb-cut and also provide much
better sight-lines than the existing driveway to Brooktree and Sandstone Park.
Flood Plain
The existing flood plain is now indicated on the site plan, grading plan and landscape plan. No
grading will occur within the flood plain. As agreed to by Terry, an abbreviated HEC-2 study will
be completed for the portion of the creek not covered by the existing FEMA maps. This study will
be completed prior to the PEC meeting. The delay in completing this analysis is due to the time
required to obtain additional topographic information.
td"-Str*
Snow storage areas are indicated on the landscape plan.
One of the five 3-bedroom units has a two-car garage and it is not feasible to provide two-car
garages for all 3-bedroom units. Two points to keep in mind are that the proposal is providing an
enclosed space for each unit and the endre project er.cEeds the town siandards by six sperces. We
have studied alternatives for adding two additional surface spaces and due to impacts on
Itutdscaping, snow storage, and the need for additional rctaining walls, I would prefer to not add
more surface
guest spaces.interested in
Jour perspective.
Buildine Form and Materials
Morter Architects has studied the building in order to identify possible design changes in response
to comments made at the work session. Our response is indicated on the building elevations and
are described in a letter from Jim Morter.

thelombination of the location of the road and the slope below the road to our site make it very
difficult to construct a sidewalk without additional retaining walls below the road. One of two
things would occur if a sidewalk were constructed, l) there would be a severe drop from the
sidewalk to our site that would possibly require a railing, or 2) grading would significantly impact
the buildable portion of the site.
Another point to consider is that the Town's Trail Plan does re! identify a sidewalk in this location.
Finally, it is important to ask where the sidewalk would go and who it would serve. It seemed that
the need for the sidewalk was prompted in large part by the proximity of the bus stop on Sandstone
Drive. There is an alternative stop down the road that is very convenient to our site. Walking
distance from the middle of the site to this stop is only three minutes, well within the walking
distance ofresidential development to other bus stops throughout the Town.
Due to physical constraints and the availability of other viable alternatives, we have not proposed a
sidewalk aiong Red Sandstone Road.
",4-andscapinsThe size of the pocket of trees between the buildings and the road has been increased by
approximately 507o. While we have not increased the height of the wall, we are not able to reduce
the height ofthe wall as you have requested.
#ZaremenE ./'\ we have identified the approximate location of three easements on the revised site plan, l) a
drainage easement b,etween buildings A and B for the culvefl that will carry off-site drainage ,,
through the prop-ey'y (Pat is working with Larry Grafel regarding who will pay for this /
improvement), fl an access easement for the Brooktree and Sandstone Park driveway, and 3) a
road easement for the portion of Red Sandstone Road located on our site. It is our iniention to
formalize these easements as a part of the future subdivision of the property.
Existing Vegetation
The landscape plan indicates a Iimit of disturbance line and also identifies trees and shrubs to be
impacted by construction. Russ Forest has told me he will provide a letter regarding his position
on the vegetation along Red Sandstone Creek. I have also asked a wetlands biologist to provide
me with a letter regarding this portion of the site and how the Army Corp regards this type of
situation. Shnrbs located along Red Sandstone Creek to be re-located are identifred and transplant
/ areas are also indicated.
/ A\ ueelsualkv' The proposed buildings maintain the required 30' stream setback, however, there is not sufficient
room to accommodate public access along Red Sandstone Creek without significantly impacting
the stream corridor. Russ Forest's perspective is that public access along the creek would provide
little in the way of public benefit because a trail would lead to nowhere and the creek cannot be
fished. An important point to consider is that the Town's Trails Plan does not identify this locationllJlltiu. flll ulrPUIu It pUUrL tU CUIIlilOCf lS LIla[ UIC IOWII S I fillls rlall (I(JCS 4! rU9ntlly Lul] I{JUaLrUlr f:-1

RE: Red Sandstone
Dear Tom:
This letter is a summary of the outstanding issues which must be resolved on the Red Sandstone
project. The infmrnation provided below reflects comments from the Planning and
Environmental commission (PEC), staff, the Public works Deparffrc,nt, and the Fire
Deparhnent. I have consolidated the list and request that you address each of the points' We
may need to meet with the various players involved, prior to modifying the plans' I am
suggesting that we can save time by developing oonsensus beforc tuming it over to your
engineer for a final desip.
After you have addressed the issues and bave incorporated the changes in the drawings from the
architect, landscape architect and/or engineero please submit four sets ofrevised drawings to the
Town, a minimum of two and a half weeks prior to the PEC hearing you would like attend for a
final review. I would like to dishibute the drawings at our weekly Design Review Team
meeting, which is scheduled each Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. I will need tle drawings by
Wednesday at 8:00 am in order to route them to the rest of the staff'

"outiu".,
the PEC said that they would prefer additional landscaping
along Red Sandstone Road, rather than a sidewalk, if the area could only accommodate
,/ one oPtion.
,/( Uosttf the pEC menrbers said that the SDD procedure was appropriate for this
development.
o The pEC and DRB meqbers were split about the flat roof issue and it was interesting to
hear the range of comments. Henry Pratt may have summed it up the best and some of
his comments are shown below:
The arohitecture, as presented, is far superior to the Vail Commons
architecture.
Design professionals like flat roofs (They are the nrost efficient and are a
very good design).
However, in layman's terms, it will appear as a stack of boxes' This
appeaxance may equate to'lublic housing'"
though the curreut design is very high quality, the public will not
appreciate the good arohitecture.
I believe that Henry's comments encapsulate the range of other comments. As a summary
staternent, staff will be iacluding his position in future discussions and encourages you to
consider his position.
SEtr
,/,-During the PEC hearing it was suggested that an easanent be granted to the Brookhee
development. Also, it was zuggested to deed the portion of the site, which the pavement of
Red Sandstone Road crosses, to the Town as right-of-way. I wil be researching how this
situation has been resolved in the past. I know of two developments (44 Willow Place and 383
Beaver Dam Road) where this type of encroachment has occurred.

In past discussions on the ADA, we have leamed that physical constraints affect the
