I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant is requesting a final review of a resolution adopting amendments to the Vail Transportation Master Plan, and setting forth details
in regard thereto.
II. BACKGROUND
The Town of Vail, in conjunction with the Colorado Department of Transportation, completed the Vail Transportation Master Plan (VTMP) this past Spring,
adopted by the Town Council on May 5th, 2009 by Resolution No. 12 series 2009.
The VTMP included an Access Management Plan (AMP) for the Frontage Rd. in Appendix I. The AMP was created
cooperatively with CDOT to identify current and future access points along the Frontage Rd. becoming the guideline for all access points along the Frontage Rd.
The West Vail Fire station
site was allocated one full movement access point on the AMP as indicated on the Chamonix Master plan at the time of the adoption of the VTMP. Since that time a more specific site design
has been developed for the West Vail Fire station, suggesting a second access should be allowed onto the Frontage Rd. for emergency vehicles only. This second access will allow the
site to accommodate drive thru bays and eliminate the on-site conflict of emergency vehicles and public vehicles. CDOT has agreed conceptually to this additional emergency access but
requested that the AMP be updated to show this change. Since the AMP is a part of the VTMP, an amendment to the VTMP is necessary.
