DATE: July 23, 2007
SUBJECT: A request for a work session to discuss the development review
applications necessary for the review of the redevelopment of the

Applicant: Vail Resorts Development Corporation, represented by
Mauriello Planning Group LLC
Planner: Warren Campbell
______________________________________________________________________
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST
The applicant, Vail Resorts Development Corporation, represented by Mauriello
Planning Group LLC, is requesting a public hearing with the Town of Vail
Planning and Environmental Commission to discuss the development review
applications necessary for the review of the redevelopment of the properties
known as “Ever Vail” (West Lionshead), located at 862, 923, 934, 953, and 1031
South Frontage Road West.
At this work session the applicant will present a schedule that staff has helped to
create showing what are believed to be the steps that will occur as the Ever Vail
project moves forward through the entitlement process. The sequence of
applications and meetings began with the amendments to the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan to include several new parcels and revise the
recommendations for West Lionshead (Ever Vail). At this point in time
applications that will begin to implement the recommendations in the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan are being submitted.
The first of these applications will be a request for a major subdivision to combine
and reconfigure the lots comprising Ever Vail. The first step in this application
will be a review of a preliminary plan which will lay the ground work for the
submittal of a final plat at a later date. Review of the preliminary plan will occur
prior to receiving a memorandum of understanding with CDOT regarding the
potential Frontage Road realignment. A review of the final plat will occur
subsequent of this understanding with CDOT as there should be little to no
change required on the subsequent of any approvals granted for the final plat.
The final plat, if approved, will not be recorded until such time as the Frontage
Road is relocated and the transfer of right-of-way is completed upon acceptance
of the new Frontage Road by CDOT.

A request for a rezoning of the lots created by the Ever Vail final plat will occur in
conjunction with the request for review of the final plat. The Commission will be
asked to make a recommendation on the rezoning request; however, as the final
plat cannot be recorded until such time as the Frontage Road right-of-way
exchange there cannot be the adoption of an ordinance by Council to effect the
rezoning on the lots until the final plat is recorded, thus creating the lots.
After review of the major subdivision and rezoning requests, applications will be
submitted for conditional use permits and major exterior alterations to review the
establishment of a parking structure(s) and ski lift within Ever Vail. These will be
the first structures to be reviewed within Ever Vail and will include the facility to
house the mountain operations equipment currently located on the Maintenance
Yard and Holy Cross sites.
Subsequent to the applications for the parking structure(s) and ski lift, major
exterior alteration applications will be submitted for the mixed-use structures that
will comprise the remainder of the Ever Vail.
The Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission is being asked to
listen to the presentation and provide any feedback or ask questions that are
appropriate at this time.
II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends that the Town of Vail
Planning and Environmental Commission tables this application to the August 13,
2007, public hearing.
