Amendment to SDD l*4
The purpose of this Amendment to SDD #4 is to allow for the construction of a
snow cat accass route to Cascade Way. This application is the sarne as the previous
application which was passed by the Town Council on first reading and then tabled until
the Covenant Amendment was approved by 75o/o of the Owners in the Glen Lyon
Subdivision. (Such percentage based upon land ownership). The Amendment was later
withdrawn due to the time lapse between readings. The previous submittal
documentation and memos are still appropriate and relevant as this submittal is the same
except for a slight re-alignment ofthe access way as itjoins Cascade Way. The re-
alignment was at the request of various owners in Glen Lyon and results in less retaining
walls and a safer entrance onto Cascade Way. A new drawing is attached showing the
adjustrnent.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REOUEST
The applicant, Vail Resorts, represented by Jay Peterson, is requesting a final review of a major
amendment to Special Development District #4, Cascade Village (SDD #4), to designate Tract
K, Glen Lyon Subdivision, as a new 'development area' (i.e. Development Area E) within SDD

area to facilitate the construction of a new snowcal access road generally located south of the
Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD) and former gas station sites (846 West

Westin Ho trail).
Tract K is currently designated as part of the "Dedicated Open Space" area of SDD #4. The
provisions of SDD #4 have not, and do not, include any approved development plan nor any
established development paramelers for the Dedicated Open Space areas (including Tract K).
SDD #4 does not designate any permitted uses, conditional uses, or accessory uses for the
Dedicated Open Space. While the primary purpose for this application is to designate Tract K
as a separate development area to facilitaie the construction of a new snowcat access road,
another purpose for this proposed major amendment is to establish a list of allowable land uses
for Tract K.
The applicant's proposed permitted uses for Tract K are similar to those within the Open Space
and Rdcreation Districts established by Chapter 12-8, VailTown Code (e.9. Agriculture and
Open Space, Outdoor Recreation, Natural Area Preservation, Ski Base Recreation, and Sk'
Base Recreation 2 Districts). The applicant has proposed that the following land uses be
permitted within Developmenl Area E (i.e. Tract K):
1. Utility conidors and improvemenls
2. Mountain accessways, roads, bridges, retaining walls and related improvements
3. Skiways, catwalks, trails and related improvements
4. Snowmaking facilities and related improvements
For consistency with the terminology of Chapter 12-2, Definitions, Vail Town Code, and for
consislency with the provisions of Chapter 12-8, Open Space and Recreation Districts, Vail
Town Code, Staff recommends the following uses be permitted on Tract K:
1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Paths.
2. InterPretive nature walks.
3. Nature preserves.
4. Passive outdoor recreation areas and open spaces.
Also for consistency with the terminology of Chapter 1 2-2, Definitions, Vail Town Code, and for
consistency with the provisions of Chapter 12-8, Open Space and Recreation Districts, Vail
Town Cod6, Staff also recommends the following conditional uses be allowed on Tract K,

1. Public parks.
2. Public utility and public service uses.
3. Access roads.
4. Ski lifts and tows.
5. Skitrails.
6. Snowmaking facilities.

CRITERIA FOR REVIEW
A. Design compatibllity and sensitivity to the immediate environment, neighborhood
and adlacent properties relative to archltecturaldeslgn, scale, bulk, building helght,
buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
The proposed major amendment allows for uses within Development Area E (i.e. Tract K)
which are consistent with uses allowed in the Town's Open Space and Recreation zone
districts (e.g. Agriculture and Open Space, Outdoor Recreation, Natural Area
Preservation, Ski Base Recreation, and Ski Base Recreation 2 districts);therefore, Staff
believes these proposed uses are consistent with Tract K's current SDD #4 designation
as "Dedicated Open Space". Additionally, Statf believes the proposed snowcat access
road is a similar land use as the existing Cascade Way trail which was approved in 1983.
Furthermore, the proposed land uses for Development Area E (i.e. Tract K) do not allow
for the construction of buildings.
The proposed snowcat access road was reviewed and approved by the Town of Vail
Desiln heview Board; therefore, Staff believes the proposed major amendment is
compatible and sensitive to the immediate environment, neighborhood and adjacent
properties.
Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and workable
relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
The proposed major amendment allows for uses within Development Area E (i.e. Tract K)
which are consistent with uses allowed in the Town's Open Space and Recreation zone
districts (e.g. Agriculture and Open Space, Outdoor Recreation, Natural Area
Preservation, Ski Base Recreation, and Ski Base Recreation 2 districts);therefore, Statf
believes these proposed uses are consistent with Tract K's current SDD #4 designation
as "Dedicated Open Space". Additionally, Statf believes the proposed snowcat access
road is a similar land use as the existing Cascade Way trail which was approved in 1983;
therefore, Staff believes the proposed major amendment is compatible, efficient and
workable with the surrounding uses and activities.
Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined in Ghapter 12-10 of
the vail Town code.
Staff does not believe that this major amendment is affected by the parking or loading
requirements of Chapter 12-10, Vail Town Code. Therefore, Staff does not believe this
criterion is relevant to this application.
Conformlty with the appllcable elements of the Vail Gomprehensive Plan' Town
policies and Urban Design Plan.
The goals contained in the Vail Land Use Plan are to be used as the Town's policy
guidelines during ihe review process for the establishment of a special development
district. Tract K is designated as "Open Space" by the Vail Land Use Plan. Staff has
reviewed the Vail Land Use Plan and believes the following policies are relevant to the
review of this proposal:
G.
D.
F.
Chapter Vl-2: Key Goals
D. Parks and Open Space:
2) The preservation of open space was determined to be a high priortty.
The improvement of existing parks and open space areas, in concert
with continued purchase of open space by the Town of Vail were both
identified as priorities.
Chapter Vl-4: Proposed Land Use Categories (in part)
OS Open Space:
Passive recreation areas such as greenbelts, stream corridors, and
drainageways are the types of areas in this category. Hillsides which were
classified as undevelopable due to high hazards and slopes over 40%o are also
included within this area. These hillside areas would stillbe allowed types of
development permitted by existing zoning, such as one unit per 35 acres, for
areas in agricultural zoning. AIso, permitted in this area would be
institutio nal/publ ic u ses.
The proposed major amendment allows for uses within Development Area E (i.e. Tract K)
which are consistent with uses allowed in the Town's Open Space and Recreation zone
districts (e.9. Agriculture and Open Space, Ouldoor Recreation, Natural Area
Preservation, Ski Base Recreation, and Ski Base Recreation 2 districts);therefore, Staff
believes these proposed uses are consistent with Tract K's current SDD #4 designation
as "Dedicated Open Space" and the policies, goals, and objectives identified in the Vail
Land Use Plan.
ldentification and mitigation of natural and/or geologlc hazards that aftect the
property on which the special development distrlct is proposed.
According to the OfficialTown of Vail Geologic Hazard Maps, Development Area E (i.e.
Tract K) is not located in any geologically sensitive areas or within the 1 00-year floodplain.
Therefore, Staff does not believe this criterion is relevant to this application.
Slte plan, building deslgn and location and open space provisions designed to
produce a functlonal development responsive and sensitive to natural features,
vegetation and overall aesthetlc quality of the community.
The proposed major amendment allows for uses within Development Area E (i.e. Tract K)
which are consistent with uses allowed in the Town's Open Space and Recreation zone
districts (e.9. Agriculture and Open Space, Outdoor Recreation, Natural Area
Preservation, Ski Base Recreation, and Ski Base Recreation 2 districts);therefore, Statf
believes these proposed uses are consistent with Tract K's current SDD #4 designation
as "Dedicated Open Space". Therefore, staff believes the major amendment complies
with this criterion. Additionally, Statf believes the proposed snowcat access road is a
similar land use as the existing Cascade Way trail which was approved in 1983.
The proposed snowcat access road was reviewed and approved by the Town of Vail
Design Review Board; therefore, Staff believes the proposed major amendment is
functional, responsive and sensitive lo natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic
quality of the community.
A circulation system deslgned tor both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off-site tratfic circulation.
The proposed major amendment will facilitate the construction of a new snowcat access
road. This proposal will remove Vail Resorts'winler mountain maintenance traffic from
public streets (i.e. West Forest Road). Staff believes this will have a positive affect on
traffic llows and tratfic safety. Additionally, the proposed major amendment will not
negatively impact use of the existing Cascade Way trail or the existing bike trail along
Gore Creek;therefore, Staff believes the proposed major amendment complies with this
criterion.
Functional and aesthetlc landscaping and open space in order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreatlon, vlews and functions.
The proposed major amendment allows for uses within Development Area E (i.e. Tracl K)
which are consislent with uses allowed in the Town's Open Space and Recreation zone
districts (e.9. Agriculture and Open Space, Outdoor Recreation, Natural Area
Preservation, Ski Base Recrealion, and Ski Base Recreation 2 districts);therefore, Staff
believes these proposed uses are consistent with Tract K's current SDD #4 designation
as "Dedicated Open Space". Therefore, statf believes the major amendment complies
with this crilerion.
Phasing ptan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functlonal and
eflicient relationship throughout the development of the special development
dlslrlct.
As there is no phasing or subdivision plan associated with the major amendment, Staff
does not believe this criterion is relevant to this application.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Gommunity Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental
Commission forwards a recommendation of approval, with conditions, to the Vail Town
Council of the proposed major amendment to Special Development District #4, Cascade
Village. The Staff's recommendation of approval is based upon the review of the criteria
outlined in Section Vl of this memorandum and the evidence presented on this application
subject to the following finding:
"The Planning and Environmental Commission finds that the applicant has
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Commission, based upon the evidence and
testimony presented:
1 . That the proposed major amendment complies with the standards outlined in the nine
design criteria of Section 12-gA-8, Vail Town Code, based upon the review outlined in
Section Vl of the Staff's April 9, 2007, memorandum to the Planning and Environmental
Commission; and,
2. That the proposed major amendment is consistent with the adopted goals, obiectives
and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and compatible with the
development objectives of the town, based upon the review outlined in Section Vl of the
Staff's April 9, 2007, memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission;
and,; and,
3. That the proposed major amendmentis compatible with and suitable to adjacentuses
and appropriate for the sunounding areas based upon the review outlined in Section Vl

Amendment to SDD #4
The purpose of this Amendment to SDD #4 is to allow for the constuction of a
snow cat access route to Cascade Way. This application is tle same as the previous
application which was passed by the Town Council on fust reading and then tabled until
the Covenant Amendment was approved by 75% of the Owners in the Glen Lyon
Subdivision. (Such percentage based upon land ownership). The Amendment was later
withdrawn due to the time lapse between readings' The previous submittal
documentation and memos are still appropriate and relevant as ttris submittal is the sarne
except for a slight re-alignment of the access way as it joins cascade way. The re-
alignment was at the request of various owners in Glen Lyon and results in less retaining
walls and a safer entrance onto Cascade Way. A new drawing is attached showing the
adjustment.
Attachmbnt B
PROPOSED AMEI\IDMENT TO
GLEN LYON SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT #4
June 1,2004
PURPOSE OF' TIIIS AMENDMENT
This proposed ameirdment to SDD #4 has evolved out of Vail Resort's proposal to
develop a new snowcat accessway from the VR Mainte,lrance Yard to Vail Mountain. A
portion of this accessway is located on Tract K which is a part of SDD #4. The purpose
of this SDD arnendment is to correct and clarify existing and allowable uses within Tract
K.
BACKGROI'ND ON SDD #4
SDD fl4 was originally approved in 1976. This SDD is unique from most other SDD's in
two respects. Ordinance 5 of 1976 makes no mention ofthe SDD's underlying zone
distict. Typically a SDD references an underlying zone district and this zone district
then establishes land uses permissible within the SDD. Secondly, SDD #4 includes
reference to specific permitted, conditional and accessory nses that are allowed in the
SDD.
SDD #4 has been amended a number of times over the years- Amendments have
addressed a range of topics, primarily allowable uses, develoPment level and changes to
development areas.
When originally approved in 1976, SDD fl4 was divided into four distinct "development
areas". Development Areas A-D consisted of approximately 97 acres and allowed for a
wide variety of uses which in hindsight are quite consiste,nt with Glen Lyon's existing
mixed-use character.
Inlg7l SDD #4 was amended to include the same fourDevelopment Areas (Areas A-D)
with the addition of a 40.4 acres "Dedicated Open Space" category. There is no
indication in the SDD what, if any, uses are permissible in the 40.4 acres of "Dedicated
Open Space". As indicated nthe 1977 arne,ndment, the total land area of the SDD was
approximately 92 acres.
SDD #4 was amended a number of times following the 1977 amendment, most recently
in 1998. There is no indication in any of these amendments as to what land uses are
permissible within the "Dedicated Open Space" category.
Tract K is a part of the "Dedicated Open Space" category. Tract K was deeded to the
TownofVail in 1978.
BACKGROUND ON PROPOSED SNOWCAT ACCESSWAY
Vail Resort's submitted plans to the Town this past fall in order to construct a new
snowcat accessway. This new accessway is intended to provide a new snowcat route to
Vail Mountain and in doing so eliminate the need to run snowcats on West Forest Road.
A portion of the snowcat accessway is located on Tract K. As such, VR requested and
was granted permission by the Town Council to proceed through the review process in
order to obtain approvals for the snowcat accessway (and related improvements including
a new snowrnaking intake/vaul! water lines, bridge, retaining walls and laudscaping).
VR has all but completed this review process. The PEC has approved a variance to
maximum retaining wall heights and the DRB has approved the design of the project.
The Town Council has approved two of the four easements necessary for the project and
a building permit application has been submitted for the snowmaking intake/vault portion
ofthe project.
In April of 2004 a lgg6letter was provided to the Town from a property owner in the
Glen Lyon subdivision. This letter was a joint letter from the Town and Vail Resorts to
the Glen Lyon neighborhood. The letter outlined a process for the review of a new
mountain access road that would be located in part over Tract K. The accessway location.
and design contemplated in 1996 was very similar to the plans currently being proposed
by VR. This letter indicated that the :rccessway would require amendments to SDD #4.
In deference to this 1996 letter, it has been determined that in order for the new snowcat
accessway to proceed SDD #4 will need to be amended in order to allow for snowcat
accessways on Tract K. In addition, it has been determined that the existing Westin Ho
skiway was likely approved in error. While a conditional use permit for this skiway was
approved in 1983, there appears to be no basis for this request as neither "skiway''or
"catwalk" appear to be a pe.rmitted or conditional use within Tract K. This condition will
also be remedied by the proposed amendment to SDD *f4.
PROPOSEDAMENDMENTS
The following amendments and development approvals are proposed to SDD #4:
r Create a new development area - Development Area E, this area will consist of "Tract
K".. Establish allowable uses within Development Area E to include:
Permitted Uses
l. Utility corridors and improvements
2. Mountain accessways, roads, bridges, retaining walls and related
improvements
3. Skiways, catwalks, trails and related improvements
4. Snowmaking facilities and related improvements
. Approve a development plan for Tract K-Development Area E. This plan includes all
or portions of the existing Westin Ho skiway, snowmaking/utility improvements, the
bridge and the snowcat accessway.
An existing conditions map and a development plan are provided herein. In order to
more clearly define the approved development plan for Tract K it is anticipated that the
ordinance approving this SDD amendment can also reference the previously approved
plans for the bridge, snow-making facilities, accessway and retaining walls located within
Tract K.
REVIEWCRITERIA
The following desip criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the
merits of the proposed special development distict. It shall be the burden of the applicant
to dennonstrate that submittal material and the proposed development plan comply with
each ofthe following standards, or dernonstrate that one or more of them is not
applicable, or that apractical solution consistent with the public interest has been
achieved:
A. Compatibility: Desip compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectual design, scale, bulk,
building height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
Response
Numerous snowcat access alignments have been studied over the years. The
proposed route minimizes impacts ou the site aad imFacts to surrounding
neighborhoods. When compared to the existing snowcat route up West Forest
Road, the proposed route presents a much more sensitive solution for the
immediately surrounding neighborhoods and the community as a whole.
B. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efiicient and
workable relationship with sunounding uses and activity.
ResDonse
The limited uses proposed for Development Area E are consistent with Tract E
"opeir space dedication" desigtation, with existing uses of Tract E and with
surrounding uses and activities.
C. Parking And Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined
in Chapter 10 of this Tifle.
ResDonse
Not applicable.
D. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive
Plan, Town policies and urban design plans.
Response
The removal of snowcats from West Forest Road is a stated goal of the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan, an element of the Vail Comprehensive Plan.
E. Natural And/Or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and./or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is
proposed.
Response
A geotechnical analysis has been completed in conjunction with the design of the
snowcat access road.
F. Design Features: site plan, building desigr and location and open space provisions
designed to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
Response
The snowcat accessway has been designed in order to minimize both cuVfill
slopes and site disturbance. An extensive landscape restoration plan has been
proposed as a part ofthe bridge/snowcat accessway.
G. Traffic: A circulation system desigrred for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off-site traffic circulation.
Response
The new snowcat access is proposed in order to remove snow cats from West
Forest Road. This change will result in a much safer roadway condition and a
reduction oftraffic on this road.
H. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to
optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function.
Response
A landscape plan has been provided as an element of the development plan for the
bridge and snowcat accessway.
L Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development of the special
development district. (Ord. 2l(1988) $ l)
Respons€
Initiallyiroposed to be developed in one phase, the project is now likely to be
developed in two phases. Phase I is expected to consist of the new snowmaking
intake/vault, new snowmaking lines up Vail Mountain and anew bridge over
Gore Creek. Phase I would be done the surnmer/fall of 2004. Phase tr would
consist of the snowcat accessway up Vail Mormtain. The timing for completion
of Phase tr is to be determined. If the SDD amendmentprtrcess is resolved in a
timely manner the accessway could be constucted in 2004. As an alternative, it
is anticipated ttrat the aocessway would be constucted in 2005.

as "Dedicated Open Space" and the policies, goals, and objectives identified in the Vail
Land Use Plan.
ldentification and mitigation of natural and/or geologic hazards that affect the
property on which the special development district is proposed.
According to the OfficialTown of Vail Geologic Hazard Maps, Development Area E (i'e.
Tract K) ii not located in any geologically sensitive areas or within the 1OO-year floodplain.
Therefore, Staff does not believe this criterion is relevant to this application.
Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions designed to
prodirce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural features,
vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
The proposed major amendment allows for uses within Development Area E (i.e. Tract K)
which aie consistent with uses allowed in the Town's Open Space and Recreation zone
districts (e.g. Agriculture and Open Space, Outdoor Recreation, Natural Area
Preservation, Ski Base Recreation, and Ski Base Recreation 2 districts);therefore, Staff
believes these proposed uses are consistent with Tract K's current SDD #4 designation
as "Dedicated dpen Space". Therefore, staff believes the major amendment complies
with this criterion. Additionally, Staff believes the proposed snowcat access road is a
similar land use as the existing Cascade Way trail which was approved in 1983.
The proposed snowcat access road was reviewed and approved by the Town of Vail
Desiln heview Board; therefore, Staff believes the proposed major amendment is
functional, responsive and sensitive to natural features, vegetation and overall aesthetic
quality of the communitY.
G. A circulation system deslgned for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and oft-site traffic circulation.
The proposed major amendment will facilitate the construction of a new snowcat access
road. This proposal will remove Vail Resorts'winter mountain maintenance tratfic from
public streets (i.e. West Forest Road). Staff believes this will have a positive affect on
iraffic flows and traftic safety. Additionally, the proposed major amendment will not
negatively impact use ol the existing Cascade Way trail or the existing bike trail along
Core Cre-eh therefore, Staff believes the proposed major amendment complies with this
criterion.
H. Functional and aesthetlc landscaping and open space In order to optimize and
preserve natural features, recreatlon, views and functions.
The proposed major amendment allows for uses within Development Area E (i.e. Tract K)
which aie consistent with uses allowed in the Town's Open Space and Recreation zone
districts (e.g. Agriculture and Open Space, Outdoor Recreation, Natural Area
Preservatioq Ski Base Recreation, and Ski Base Recreation 2 districts);therefore, Staff
believes these proposed uses are consistent with Tract K's current SDD #4 designation
as "Dedicated Open Space". Therefore, staff believes the major amendment complies
with this criterion.
l. phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable, functional and
eflicient relationship throughout the development of the special development
distrlct.
As there is no phasing or subdivision plan associated with the major amendment, Statf
does not believe this criterion is relevant to this application-

Amqndment to SDD #4
The purpose of this Amendment to SDD #4 is to allow for the corirstruction of a
snow cat access route to Cascade Way. This application is the same as the previous
application which was passed by the Town Council on first reading and then tabled until
thi covenant Amendment was approved by 75Y' of the ov,ners in the Glen Lyon
Subdivision. (Such percentage based upon land ownership). The Amendment was later
withdrawn due to the time lapse between readings. The previous submittal
documentation and memos are still appropriate and relevant as this submittal is the same
except for a slight re-alignment of the access way as it joins Cascade Way. The re-
alignment was at the request of various owners in Glen Lyon and results in less retaining
wJls and a safel entrance onto Cascade Way. A new drawing is attached showing the
adjustment.
Attachmbnt B
PROPOSED AMEI\DMENT TO
GLEN LYON SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT #4
June 1,2004
PURPOSE OF TIIIS AMENDMENT
This proposed amendment to SDD l*4 has evolved out of Vail Resort's proposal to
develop a new snowcat accessway from the VR Maintenance Yard to Vail Mountain. A
portion of this accessway is located on Tract K which is a part of SDD *14. The purpose
of this SDD ameqdment is to correct and clarify existing and allowable uses within Tract
K.
BACKGROIJND ON SDD #4
SDD #4 was originally approved 1g-1976- This SDD is unique from most other SDD's in
two respects. Ordinance 5 of 1976 makes no mentiou of the SDD's underlying zone
distict. Typically a SDD references an underlyingzone distict and this zone district
then establishes land uses permissible within the SDD. Secondly' SDD #4 includes
reference to specific permitted, conditional and accessory uses that are allowed in the
SDD.
sDD #4 has been amended a number of times over the years. Amendments have
addressed a range of topics, primarily allowable uses, development level and changes to
development areas.
When originally approved in 1976, SDD *f4 was divided into four distinct "developme,nt
areas". Development Areas A-D consisted of approximately 97 acres and allowed for a
wide variety of uses which in hindsight are quite consisteut with Glen Lyon's existing
mixed-use character.
In1977 SDD #4 was amended to include the same four Development fueas (Areas A-D)
with the addition of a 40.4 acres "Dedicated Open Space" category. There is no
indication in the SDD what, if any, uses are pemrissible in the 40'4 acres of "Dedicated
ope,n Space". As indicated in the 1977 ame,ndmont, the total land area of the SDD was
approximately 92 aqes.
SDD #4 was amended a number of times following the 1977 amendment, most recently
in 1998. There is no indication in any of these amendments as to what land uses are
permissible within the "Dedicated Open Space" category.
Tract K is a part of the "Dedicated Open Space" category. Tract K was deeded to the
Town ofVail in 1978.
BACKGROUND ON PROPOSED SNOWCAT ACCESSWAY
Vail Resort's submitted plans to the Town this past fall in order to construct a new
snowcat accessway. This new accessway is intended to provide a new snowcat route to
Vail Mountain and in doing so eliminate the need to run snowcats on West Forest Road.
A portion of the snowcat accessway is located on Tract K. As such, VR requested and
was granted permission by the Town Council to proceed through the review process in
order to obtain approvals for the snowcat accessway (and related improvements including
a new snowmaking intake/vault, water lines, bridge, retaining walls and landscaping).
VR has all but completed this review process. The PEC has approved a variance to
maximum retaining wall heights and the DRB has approved the design of the project.
The Town Council has approved two of the four easements necess.ry for the project and
a building permit application has been submitted for the snowmaking intake/vault portion
ofthe project.
In April of 2004 a lgg6letter was provided to the Town from a property owner in the
Glen Lyon subdivision. This letter was a joint letter from the Town and Vail Resorts to
the Glen Lyon neighborlood. The letter outlined a process for the review of a new
mountain access road that would be located in part over Tract IC The accessway location.
and desigrr contemplated in 1996 was very similar to the plans currently being proposed
by VR. This letter indicated that the accessway would require amendments to SDD #4.
In deference to this 1996 letter, it has been detennined that in order for the new snowcat
accessway to proceed SDD #4 will need to be amended in order to allow for snowcat
accessways on Tract K. In addition, it has been determined that the existing Westin Ho
skiway was likely approved in error. While a conditional use perrnit for this skiway was
approved in 1983, there appears to be no basis for this request as neither "skiway''or
"catwalld' appear to be a pelmitted or conditional use within Tract K. This condition will
also be remedied by the proposed amendment to SDD ff4'
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
The following amendments and development approvals are proposed to SDD fJ4:
. Create a new development area - Development Area E, this area will consist of "Tract
K".. Establish allowable uses within Development Area E to include:
Permitted Uses
1. Utility corridors and improvements
2. Mountain accessways, roads, bridges, retaining walls and related
improvements
3. Skiways, catwalks, trails and related improvements
4. Snowmaking facilities and related improvements
r Approve a development plan for Tract K-Development Area E' This plan includes all
orportions of the existing Westin Ho skiway, snowmaking/utility improvements, the
bridge and the snowcat accessway.
An existing conditions map and a development plan are provided herein. In order to
more clearly define the approved development plan for Tract I! it is anticipated that the
ordinance approving this SDD amendment can also reference the previously approved
plans for tni-U;age, s16y-6aking facilities, accessway and retaining walls located within
Tract K.
REVIEW CRITERIA
The following desip criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the
merits of the propoied special development diskict. It shall be the burden of the applicant
to demonshati that submittal material and the proposed development plan comply with
each of the following standards, or demonstrate that one or more of them is not
applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has beeir
achieved:
A. Comaatibility: Desigp compatibility and sensitivity to the immediate environment,
neighboihood and adjacent properties relative to architectural desigrr, scale, bulk,
buiiding height, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integrity and orientation.
Response
Numerous snowcat access alignments have been studied over the years. The
proposed route mirfmizes impacts on the site and impacts to surrounding
neighborhoods. When compared to the existing snowcat route up West Forest
Road, the proposed route presents a much more sensitive solution for the
immediately surrounding neighborhoods and the community as awhole'
B. Relationship: Uses, activity and density which provide a compatible, efficient and
workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
Response
The limited uses proposed for Developme,nt Area E are consistqtt with Tract E
..open space dedication" designation, with existi"g uses of Tract E and with
surrounding uses and activities.
C. parking And Loading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined
in Chapter 10 ofthis Title.
Response
Not applicable.
D. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive
Plan, Town policies and urban design plans.
Response
The removal of snowcats from West Forest Road is a stated goal of the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan, an element of the vail comprehensive Plan.
E. Natural And/Or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and./or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development district is
proposed.
Response
A geotechnical analysis has been completed in conjunction with the design ofthe
snowcat access road.
F. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions
desigrred to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to natural
features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
Response
The snowcat accessway has been designed in order to minimize both cuVfill
slopes and site disturbance. An extensive landscape restoration plan has been
proposed as a pad ofthe bridge/snowcat accessway-
G. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off-site traffic circulation.
Response
The new snowcat access is proposed in order to remove snow cats from West
Forest Road. This change will result in a much safer roadway condition and a
reduction oftraffic on this road'
H- Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to
optimize and preserve natural features, recreation, views and function'
Response
A landscape plan has been provided as an element of the development plan for the
bridge and snowcat accessway.
I. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
firnctional and efficient relationship throughout the development ofthe special
development district. (Ord. 21(1988) $ 1)
Responsg
Initiallylroposed to be developed in one phase, the project is now likely to be
developed in two phases. Phase I is expected to consist of the new snowmaking
intakdvault, new snowmaking lines up Vail Mountain and anewbridge over
Gore Creek Phase I would be done the summer/fall of 2@4. Phase tr would
consist of the snowcat accessway up Vail Mountain. fire timing for completion
of Phase tr is to be determined. If the SDD amendme,nt process is resolvedin a
timely manner the acoessway could be constucted in 2004. As au alternative, it
is anticipatcd that the access"way would be constructed in 2005.

SUMMARY
The applicant, Vail Resorts, represented by Jay Peterson, is requesting a final review of a major
amendment to Special Development District #4, Cascade Village (SDD #4), to allow for a new
development area located at Tract K, Glen Lyon Subdivision. Based upon Slaff's review of the
criteria in Section Vl of this memorandum and the evidence and testimony presented, the
Community Development Department recommends that the Planning and Environmental
Commission lorwards a recommendation of approval, wlth conditions, lo the Vail Town
Gouncil of the proposed major amendment to Special Development District #4, Cascade
Village.
DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant, Vail Resorts, represented by Jay Peterson, is requesting a final review of a major
amendmentto Special Development District#4, Cascade Village (SDD #4), to designateTract
K, Glen Lyon SuMivision, as a new"developmentarea" (i.e. DevelopmentArea E) within SDD
#4. The primary purpose forthis application is to designate Tract K as a separate development
area to facilitate the construction of a new snowcat access road generally located south of the
Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD) and former gas station sites (846 West
Forest Road and 934 South Frontage Road) to the Cascade Way trail (formerly known as the
Westin Ho trail).
Tract K is currently designated as part of the 'Dedicated Open Space" area of SDD #4. The
provisions of SDD #4 have not, and do not, include any approved development plan nor any
established development paramelers for the Dedicated open space areas (including Tract K).
SDD #4 does nol designate any permitted uses, conditional uses, or accessory uses for the
Dedicated Open Space. While the primary purpose for this application is lo designate Tract K
as a separate development area to facilitate the construction of a new snowcat access road,
another purpose for this proposed major amendment is to establish a list of allowable land uses
for Tract K.
The applicant's proposed permitted uses for Tract K are similar to those within the Open Space
and Fidcreation Didtricts established by Chapter 12-8, Vail Town Code (e.9. Agriculture and
Open Space, Outdoor Recreation, Natural Area Preservation, Ski Base Recreation, and Ski
Bise Rbcreation 2 Districts). The applicant has proposed that the following land uses be
permitted within Development Area E (i.e. Tract K):
1. Utility corridors and improvements
2. Mountain accessways, roads, bridges, retaining walls and related improvemenls
3. Skiways, catwalks, trails and related improvements
4. Snowmaking facilities and related improvements
For consistency with the terminology of Chapter 12-2, Definitions, Vail Town Code, and for
consistency wiin the provisions of Chapter 12-8, Open Space and Recreation Districts, Vail
Town Code, Staff recommends the following uses be permitted on Tract K:
1. Bicycle and pedestrian paths.
2. Interpretive nature walks.
3. Nature preserves.
4. Passive outdoor recreation areas and open spaces.
Also for consistency with the terminology of Chapter 12-2, Definitions, Vail Town Code, and for
consistency with the provisions of Chapter 12-8, Open Space and Recreation Districts,Districts. vail
Town Code, Staff also recommends the following conditional uses be allowed on Tract K,
subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit:
1. Public parks.
2. Public utility and public service uses.
3. Access roads.
4. Ski lifts and lows.
5. Skitrails.
6. Snowmaking facilities.
7. Other uses customarily incidental and accessory to permitted and conditional uses
and necessary for the operation thereof, with the exception of buildings.
A more complete description of the applicant's request (Attachment B) has been attached for
relerence.

Attachment B
Amendment to SDD #4
The purpose of this Amendment to SDD #4 is to allow for the construction of a
snow cat access route to Cascade Way. This application is the same as the previous
application which was passed by the Town Council on first reading and then tabled until
the Covenant Amendment was approved by 75%o of I}ile Owners in the Glen Lyon
Subdivision. (Such percentage based upon land owaership). The Amendment was later
withdrawn due to the time lapse between readings. The previous submittal
documentation and memos are still appropriate and relevant as this submittal is the same
except for a slight re-alignment of the access way as it joins Cascade Way. The re-
alignment was at the request of various owners in Glen Lyon and results in less retaining
walls and a safer entrance onto Cascade Way. A new drawing is attached showing the
adjustment.
Attachment B
PROPOSED AMEI\DMENTTO
GLEN LYON SPECIAL DEVEIOPMENT DISTRICT #4
PURPOSE OF THIS AMENDMENT
This proposed amendment to SDD #4 has evolved out of Vail Resort's proposal to
develop a new snowcat accessway from the VR Maintenance Yard to Vail Mountain. A
portion of this accessway is located on Tract K which is a part of SDD li4. The purpose
of this SDD amendm€nt is to correct and clarify existing and allowable uses within Tract
K
BACKGROI'ND ON SDD #4
SDD #4 was originally approved in7976. This SDD is unique from most other SDD's in
two respects. Ordinance 5 of 1976 makes no mention of the SDD's underlying zone
dishict. Tlpically a SDD references an underlying zone district and this zone district
then establishes land uses permissible within the SDD. Secondly, SDD #4 includes
reference to specific permitted, conditional and accessory uses that are allowed iu the
SDD.
SDD #4 has been amended a number of times over the years. Amendments have
addressed a range of topics, primarily allowable uses, development level and changes to
development areas.
When oriFnally approved in 1976, SDD #4 was divided into four distinct "development
areas". Development Areas A-D consisted of approximately97 acres and allowed for a
wide variety of uses which in hindsight are quite consistent with Glen Lyon's existing
mixed-use character.
Itr1977 SDD #4 was amended to include the same fourDevelopment Areas (Areas A-D)
with the addition of a40.4 acres "Dedicated Open Space" category. There is no
indication in the SDD what, if any, uses are permissible in the 40.4 acres of 'Dedicated
Ope,lr Space". As indicated in the 1977 arnendment, the total land area of the SDD was
approximatel y 92 actes.
SDD #4 was amended a number of times following the 1977 amendmenl most recently
in 1998. There is no indication in any of these amendments as to what land uses are
permissible within the "Dedicated Open Space" category.
Tract K is a part of the "Dedicated Open Space" category. Tract K was deeded to the
Town of Vail in 1978.
BACKGROUND ON PROPOSED SNOWCAT ACCESSWAY
Vail Resort's submitted plans to the Town this past fall in order to construct a new
snowcat accessway. This new accessway is intended to provide a new snowcat route to
Vail Mountain and in doing so eliminate the need to run snowcats on West Forest Road.
A portion of the snowcat accessway is located on Tract K. As such, VR requested and
was granted permission by the Town Council to proceed through the review process in
order to obtain approvals for the snowcat accessway (and related improvements including
a new snowmaking intake/vault, water lines, bridge, retaining walls and landscaping).
VR has all but completed this review process. The PEC has approved a variance to
maximum retaining wall heights and the DRB has approved the design of the project.
The Town Council has approved two ofthe four easements necessary for the project and
a building permit application has been submitted for the snowmaking intake/vault portion
ofthe project.
kr April of 2004 a l996letter was provided to the Town from a property owner in the
Glen Lyon subdivision. This letter was a joint letter from the Town and Vail Resorts to
the Glen Lyon neighborhood. The letter outlined a process for the review of a new
mountain acce'ss road that would be located in part over Tract K.. The accessway location.
and design contemplated in 1996 was very similar to the plans cunently being proposed
by VR. This letter indicated that the accessway would require amendments to SDD #4.
In deference to this 1996 letter, it has been determined that in order for the new snowcat
accessway to proceed SDD #4 will need to be amended in order to allow for snowcat
accessways on Tract K. In addition, it has been determined that the existing Westin Ho
skiway was likely approved in error. While a conditional use permit for this skiway was
approved in 1983, there appears to be no basis for this request as neither "skiway''or
"catwalk" appear to be a pegmitted or conditional use within Tract K. This condition will
also be remedied by the proposed amendment to SDD #4.
PROPOSED AMEI\DMENTS
The following amendments and development approvals are proposed to SDD *14:
r Create a new development area - Development Area E, this area will consist of "Tract
IC'.
' Establish allowable uses within Development Area E to include:
Permitted Uses
1. Utility conidors and improvements
2. Mountain accessways, roads, bridges, retaining walls and related
improvements
3. Skiways, catwalks, trails and related improvements
4. Snowmaking facilities and related improvements
r Approve a development plan for Tract K-Development Area E. This plan includes all
or portions of the existing Westin Ho skiway, snowmaking/utility improvements, the
bridge and the snowcat accessway.
An existing conditions map and a development plan are provided herein. ln order to
more clearly define the approved development plan for Tract K, it is anticipated that the
ordinance approving this SDD amendment can also reference the previously approved
plans for thi-bridge, snow-making facilities, accessway and retaining walls located within
Tract K.
REVIEW CRITERIA
The following design criteria shall be used as the principal criteria in evaluating the
merits of the proposed special development district. It shall be the burden of the applicant
to demonstuate that submittal material and the proposed development plau comply with
each of the following standards, or demonshate that one or more of them is not
applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been
achieved:
A. Compatibility: Desip compatibility and sensitivity to the irnmediate environment,
neighborhood and adjacent properties relative to architectural design, scale, bulk,
Uuiiaing neight, buffer zones, identity, character, visual integfity and orientation.
ResDonse
Numerous snowcat access alignments have been studied over the years. The
proposed 5su1s minimizes impacts on the site and impacts to surrourding
neighborhoods. When compared to the existing snowcat route up West Forest
Road, the proposed route presents a much more sensitive solution for the
immediately surrounding neighborhoods and the community as a whole'
B. Relationship: IJses, activity and density which provide a compatible, effrcient and
workable relationship with surrounding uses and activity.
Response
The limited uses proposed for Development Area E are consiste,lrt with Tract E
..open space dedication'designation, with existing uses of Tract E and with
surrounding uses and activities.
C. Parking And Ioading: Compliance with parking and loading requirements as outlined
in Chapter 10 of this Title.
Response
Not applicable.
D. Comprehensive Plan: Conformity with applicable elements of the Vail Comprehensive
Plan, Town policies and urban design plans.
Response
The removal of snowcats from West Forest Road is a stated goal of the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan, an element of the Vail Comprehensive Plan.
E. Natural And/Or Geologic Hazard: Identification and mitigation of natural and/or
geologic hazards that affect the property on which the special development diskict is
proposed.
Response
A geotechnical analysis has been completed in conjunction with the design of the
snowcat access road.
F. Design Features: Site plan, building design and location and open space provisions
desigfred to produce a functional development responsive and sensitive to nahrral
features, vegetation and overall aesthetic quality of the community.
Response
The snowcat accessway has been desiped in order to minimize both cut/fill
slopes and site disturbance. An extensive landscape restoration plan has been
proposed as a part ofthe bridge/snowcat accessway.
G. Traffic: A circulation system designed for both vehicles and pedestrians addressing on
and off-site traffic circulation.
Response
The new snowcat access is proposed in order to remoYe snow cats from West
Forest Road. This change will result in a much safer roadway condition and a
reduction oftraffic on this road.
H. Landscaping: Functional and aesthetic landscaping and open space in order to
optimize and preserve natural featutes, recreation, views and function.
Response
A landscape plan has been provided as an element of the development plan for the
bridge and snowcat accessway.
I. Workable Plan: Phasing plan or subdivision plan that will maintain a workable,
functional and efficient relationship throughout the development ofthe special
development district. (Ord. 2l(1988) $ 1)
ResDonse
Iaitiallylroposed to be developed in one phase, the project is now likely to be
developed in two phases. Phase I is expected to consist of the new snowmaking
intake/vault, new snowmaking lines up Vail Mountain and a new bridge over
Gore Creek. Phase I would be done the summer/fall of 2@4. Phase tr would
consist of the $rou/cat accessway up Vail Mountain. Ths timing for completion
of Phase tr is to be determined. If the SDD ame,ndment process is resolved in a
timely manner the accessway could be constructed in 2004. As an dteinative, it
is anticipated tha! the accessway would be constmcted in 2005.
