Dear Leo:
I am writing this letter to verify ttrat a left hand turn lane lras
a reguirernent of the Gateway developnent. The left hand turn
lane l-s called for in the Environnental Inpact Report prepared by
Peter Jamar Associates, dated January, 1988. The left hand turn
lane is also referenced in a traffic inpact analysis prepared by
TDA Colorado, Inc., dated February 2, L988. The SDD ordinancefor the cateway project specifically references the Environmental
Inpact Report as being part of the special developnent districtapproval. The specific design for the left hand turn lane was
prepared by the Town of VaiI engineer' Greg HaIl. This specific
design reguires that vail Road encroach slightly beyond the
existing Vail Road encroachment on the northwest corner of the
Gateway property.
our department must require that the attached easement agreement
be executed and recorded before a final certificate of occuPancywill be released for any portlon of the Gateway building.
If you have any further guestl.ons, I would be happy to assistyou. Thank you for your efforts to coordinate the resolution of
the condominium urap.

Re: Vail Gateway Zoning ConPliance
Dear Mike:
Per our conversations, I am docunentlng in this letter issues of
zoning compliance such that a Temporary Certificate of occupancy
may be lssued for Vail Gateway ln the near future.
The following tabulation of retail floor area, gross residential
fl-oor area, and parking reguirements is based upon actual uses and
surveyed measurements of the building in place. Restaurant seatlng
is based upon building code occupancy, which results in about sixty
more seats than the actual seating plans. The GRFA numbers incLude
several areas with sloped ceilings lower than five feet, and are
thus actually overstated. Unlt 7 is a small accommodation unit
added on Level 118. Since hte are zoned for 12 units, the added
density is allowed.

Mr. Mike l,[ol].ica -2-December 6, 1990
In terms of completion and appearancer the following items of
construction will be in progress, but not necessarily conplete:
1. Exterior guardrail/eguipment screen - Leve1 128-
2. Exterior painting of hollow metal .
3. Slate facing of the two southwest planters.
The railings and slate facing on the planters should be in place by
the end of ilanuary.
The hollow metal painting can only be done on days when the outdoor
temperature is over 40 degreesr and thus may not be completed for
several months. This is a speclallzed type of coating (tnemic)
which I am unwilling to change because of long terrn performance and
naintenance nightmares.
The landscaping, lattice on east wall, and sidehtalk south to the
VaiI Village rnn driveway cannot be conpleted until next spring;
and therefore, must be covered by a letter of credit worked out
between the Town and Pahner Development
I think the above addresses outstanding items. If you have any
guestions, please contact me or Leo as approPriate-

Dear Ron:
on behalf of Leo palmer and parner Development courpany r wouldlike.to reguest a meeting with the Town c-ouncil to-di3cuss thepossible placement of a tenporary site developrnent sign on thesite of the vait Gateway project. As you are aware tie projecthas received final approvir ind an effort to remove contlrniiationof the soil from the previous use of the site as a gas stationhas been underway for the past several months. Thii work hasentailed the dernolition of the existing building upon the site,removal of-the gas tanks, excavation of the site, ind theerection of a fence and barrier around the site. construction ofthe building will begin at the end of ski season.
rn accordance with the ordinance which approved the project, nowork.can begin on constructing the buildiirg until spi-:.ni aue to aprovision which reguires consLruction to c5.merr"e pi-ior-to J"iv iand the project to be encrosed by Novernber r-7. pue t,o the soiicontarnination, which was beyonO tne control of palmer
Development, aetual construction of the buildi-ng was unabre tostart as scheduled last Spring.
Palmer.Developmentrs request at this time is for the abirity togreg! the temporary site deveropment sign that has been appiovedby.the Design Review Board for the site] rt is our feeli'n'g ttuialthough technically the building is not under constructiofr, [tesite certainry has the appearanc6 of one under construction'"nd,in faet, has and is experiencing construction rerai"a-i"tiiiilvl'
The fact that there is nothing indicating to the general pubricwhat is occurring upon the si{.e has crealed confuiion ;;d;aG;

the status of the project and I believe is not in the bestinterest of the corurrunity or the developer. palmer Deveropmenthas indicated a willingness to erect a substantial amount ofseasonal decorations in conjunction wlth the sign and therebycreate an attractive appearance (given the circumstances) at theintersection.
Apparently the cornmunity Development Department has interpretedthe Sign code in a manner that does not allow this sign t-o Ueerected. we understand their concerns but berieve this to be avery unigue situation which was beyond the owners control andwould like to discuss the issue with the Council.
Please let me know if we can appear. at a worksession and also ifyou require additional infornation.

RE: Palmer Developrnent/Conrad. SterkelLease Agreement dated Decernber 6, l_98g
Dear Mr. French:
This office has represented conrad Sterkel and members of his farnilyin connection with the sale of the property and the lease agreementsentered i-nto in connection with tnat ciosiig. r have been iuppl_iedwith the copies of your correspond.ence to Mr. sterkel as werl ascopies. of relevant reports and evaluations relating to the removal ofthe Amoco property..
under the lease agreement entered. into on December 6, 19Bg by conradsterkel , the premises were to be operated and. maintainea as i servicestation up to and including March 3r., 1989. Mr. Sterkel ceased doingbusiness on the premises on March 31, r-9g9 and commenced an orderlyand prompt vacation of his inventory, fixtur"= and eguipment from theleased prenises._ Mr. Sterkel, in accordance with the understanding ofthe parties at closing and confirmed by his conversati.on with JimAnest at the site rernoved a1r eguipmenl, includ.ing doors and windows,from the premises. - They would. be destroyed in connection with thedemorition and their rernoval in fact =..r6d. palmer Deveropmentsubstantial costs of dernolition and rernoval .
As.you know the understanding between the parties was that thebuilding would be completely denorished orr'or irout May 1-, r-989 andtherefore there was consequentry no agreenent between my client andParrner Development regarding seluring the pr"ri."= after theternination of the rease and vacatioi or tir* fi"*ir"".

That lease cancellation was recorded on December 9, 1988 in Book 496at Page 62L of the Eagle County Clerk and Recorderrs Office withcancerlation effective April L, L989. under the terms of that Lease
Amoco oil agreed to remove arl tanks and lines within thirty days ofsuch termination, and Sterkel agreed to make such arrangements and usehis best efforts to secure completion of the work within gO days.
Arnoco oiI, in a tirnely manner, hired bonded and approved contractorsto renove such tanks and lines. Such removal included the removal andhauling of three fueL storage tanks, two waste oil tanks and aIIrelated transmissions lines to a toxic waste disposal site in Denver,Colorado as well as the rernoval and hauling to the sarne disposal siteof twelve truck loads of contaminated soil. Those procedures wereobserved in there entirety by representatives of both the Town of Vail
Department of Hea1th, acting to insure enforcement and cornpliance withColorado State Rules and Regulations, which are in turn based onFederal Standards, and Town of Vail Fire Department which supervised
and approved the means and methods utilized to remove the tanks and
l ines .
Amoco then delivered, in a timely manner, its verifj-cation and proofof cornpletion of the rernoval of the underground storage tanks,distribution lines connected thereto, dispensing units, and
contaminated soils, (except for some minor soil replaced on the sitewith the approval of Jirn Anest to act as a base for asphalting of thedisturbed ground).
Ground water tests were also conducted at the expense of Amoco andthose results were provided to you. My investigation has revearedthat neither Federal- covernment nor the State Departrnent of Health hasa procedure for issuance of a certificate of satisfactory completionand that the only action that they take is a disapproval or rejectionof procedures and conditions with a reconmendation of rernedial_
measures that nust be taken to bring the property within compliance.
Review of the correspondence indicates that any objection to theguality of ground water tests on the site results in a concern thacthis condition may require a fittration and purification of groundwater that is punped out of the construction site during excavation
and construction. My discussions with paul Fairbanks, thehydrogeologist for Amoco OiI , and review of his letter indicates andconfirms that Anoco stands ready to provide, at their sole cost and -

expense, aLl necessary ground lrater filtration and purificationfacilities at the site. They have arso committed t6 provideassistance in the removal of any additional contaminaied. soil that rnaybe found on the property, in locations other than those from whichthey excavated the existing tanks and lines, if such conditions arerevealed in connection with the excavation of the site. Amoco oi1 isnot willing to leave determination as to means and. methods to palmerDevelopment, but has expressed a willingness to have theirrepresentative on site to coordinate the removal of any suchcontaminated soils or waters at the sole cost of Amoco.
under the Lease Agreement, conrad sterkel . has in rny opinion,performed his obligations fully as he has terminated business on March31, 1-989, he has coordinated and infact secured the removal of aIr,tanks and linestt within the required thirty day period and turned thesite over to you to commence construction oi or-aLout May 1, rges.
r have talked to officials at the Town of vail and they inform thatthey never requested any soils or r,rater inforrnation reports andwere concerned solely that the regulations and proceduies for removalwere followed and conpried with by Amocors contractors. Also myconversations with the Planning Department indicate that on or lboutMay J-, 1989, Palmer Developments eichitects had not yet obtained finalpran check approval , and in fact have not to date paid over gl_2,000
owed to the Town of vaj-l for such plan check serviies,had beendirected to take no further action-on their pJ-an checi procedures. ram al-so informed that you have never obtainel. approval trom the Townof vail of a plan of construction procedures reiating to the usate orthe Frontage Road and Vail Road adjacent to the site]
In.rny discussion with Paul Fairbanks he mentioned a conversation 1nwhich he was inforned that the construction loan could not be closeduntil Amoco provided certain certifications and verificationssatisfactory to the bank. Neither Mr. sterkel nor Amoco had beeninforrned prior to May L, L9g9 of the forn and content of anycertifications or reports that would be required by -ny co.,-=tructionlender. when Mr. Fairbanks inquired as to who he snoutd contactdiscuss these requirements with at the construction lenderrs offJ.ce,representatj.ves of Palrner Development declined to provide him withthat infonnation.
rn conclusion it is rny opinion that Mr. conrad sterkel is in fullconpliance with the terrns of his lease agreement and his obligationsthereunder and is entitled to an irnrnediaie release of the esciowedfunds- It is my further opinion that Amoco rernoved the tanks, related

lines and dispensing facilities in a tirnely manner using experiencedand properly bonded and insured contractors that all removai was doneunder the supervision of the Town of vail Departments of Hearth andFire and that such agencies have expressed n-o objection to theprocedures and rnethods used in such removal . The soils and waterexaminations indicated a minor ground water contamination, a situationwhich has been reported to the cororado Department of Health withinthe thirty day period reguired by statute ina Regurations. Theexperience of Amocors hydrogeotogist is that their recommendation andrequirements wiLr be that new telts be conducted (which have beencompleted) and that a filtration and purification systern be installedand utilized during the excavation process to prevent the discharge ofuntreated waters into the water sysLen of the Town of vair, neither ofwhich should delay construction. Amoco has agreed. to provide at theircost these fiLtration purification services ai wetl as assistance withcontaminated soiLs that are discovered in connection with theexcavation of the property.
rt is also our further interpretation of the agreement between theparties that application for and the issuance 6f a building permit bythe Town of Vail for the conmencement of dernolition or excivltion ofthe site entitles Mr. Sterkel to the release of all funds escroweo acthe FirstBank of Vail .

Dote: Vail Gateway Traffic
Subjech March 25, 1988
At the City Council public hearing on Tuesday, March 15, several questions were raised
regarding our traffic analysis of the proposed Vail Gateway development. This
memorandum responds to his concerns.
It was stated that rather than a net reduction in trips through the 4-way intersection,
replacing the Amoco service station with the Vail Gateway development would add o
intersection traffic because motorists would simply shift to the remaining Alpine
Standard station across Vail Road.
On a daily basis, we would agree that the Standad station will receive more business
once the Amoco closes. Our analysis examined a PM peak hour when background
volumes would be heaviest Before doing our analysis, we checked with Stan Berryman
regarding possible plans for expanding the number of pumps at the remaining station. He
said there were no plans to add pnmp islands or any other improvements to Alpine
Standaxd. We concluded from this that during the peak hour used for our analysis,
Alpine Stand4rd volumes won't inctease appreciably because of its limited capacity to
fuel and service vehicles. Over time, motorists will either seek other tirnes of the day to
fuel their cars at Alpine Standard or choose to fuel at a west Vail or other service station
location along I-70.
Mr. Steinberg also felt we had used rip generation rates "from California" that were not
sensitive to a rcsort community. On the contrary, as we have done on nrilnerous rtsort
traffic studies, we synthesized a specific trip generation mte for Vail
Gateway development taking into account:
1. reduced auto availability/use by a number of destination visitors who may
be patrons of Vail Gateway establishments,Z. the proximity of the project to the free Vail shuttle bus,3. the proximity of the project to the Commercial Core area and the
likelihood these shoppers will not make a separate auto trip to Vail
Gateway, and4. the prospect of limited on-site parking supply as it relates to captive
employee trips, and hence, a reduction in auto use to and fiom the site that
employees otherwise would generate.
Typical suburban free-standing development vehicle trip generation rates were reduced
accordingly to estimate what we believe will be a reasonable expectation of auto traffic
generated by this particular development
Data from Calrans (Catifornia Departnrent of Transportation) was used to estimate the
peak hour percent of daily service station trips. The-service station, being an exclusive
auto trip generator (no transit or pedestrian modes of anival) will exhibit characteristics
represented in national trip generation publications such as Caltrans.
I trust ttris wi[help clarify og,l analysis and our findings as presented in our February 2,
1.988, report. Please call me if you have any questions. -

3) EAST SETBACK
As requested by the Town Council, the east setback has been
reduced to 0' for the ground level therefore elirninating therralleyrr effect. In addition, the northeast corner has been[cut-offtr to provide a better transition to the future
development to the east.
4) NORTH SETBACK
The building face has been pulled back an additionaf 2 feet in
order to provide a 17 foot setback for the ground level of the
building and to allow the bay window projections to meet the L5
foot setback from the north property line. In addition, the
column adjacent to the northwest entry has been pu11ed back 7
feet from its original location.
5) LANDSCAPTNG
The hardscape plaza area at the northwest corner of the site has
been minimized and the building has been setback an additional l-0
feet on the southwest to allow for a larger plaza and entry area
in this location. Also, the planter on the north has been
increased in size.
5) ARCHITECTURAL pETATLS
The redesign of the building
as major modification of the
importance of the northwest
roof, and a minimization and
has resulted in detail changes such
southwest area, minimization of the
area, an increased amount of sloPed
off-set of flat roofed areas.
As you know, we will be discussing these rnodifications in detail
with the Tordn council and Planning and Environmental Commission
on Tuesday. We believe that all of these changes address the
concerns which the rnajority of the Council and PEc has raised
during the review process. Please let me know if you need
additional information or have any questions.

I would like to follow up on our recent conversationsconcerning the Town of Vail's building setback requirements alongthe frontage roads. It is very important that existing set backrequirements be strictly enforced to allow future highway
improvements to fully utilize the highway right of $ray. Although
vte have allowed developers to use portions on our right of wayfor landscaping, it must be remembered that this use willterminate if the right of way is needed for any other publicuse. Thus it is important to maintain setbacks so that some ofthe landscaping can be provided within the development.
As you know, we are particularly concerned that dralnage and
snow accumuLation not be discharged onto the highway right ofway. The Cascade Village parking structure is an excellent "badexamplerr of drainage and snow being forced onto the highway rightof way due to reduced building setbacks. Snow accumulation atthis slte is being removed from the highway right of way by frontend loaders. Not only is this activity some what hazardous, italso precludes the establishment of landscaping to screen thebuilding.
We believe that the l5-foot setback must be maintained alongthe highway right of way and especially at critical majorlntersections such as the 4-way stop, Blue Cow Chute. We alsorequest that drainage and snohr removal receive careful review toensure that our right of way is not compromised. We appreciateyour cooperation and assistance in this matter.
Very truly yours,

Re: Gateway
Dear Peter:
The following are concerns andwith regard to the Vail cateway
olflce of communlty developmonl
issues identified by the staff
SDD proposal .
1. If CCI zoning is to be used as the underlying zoning forthis.project, then the horizontal restriclion" of thepennitted and conditional uses as stated. in the ccr zonedistrict shalr.appry to trJis project. This wourd requirea bank to obtain a conditional ule permit.
2. The proposed uses as outlined in the development planrequire approximately j.O4 parking spaces coirpared toexisting Town of vair standards. - rire deveroiurent proposarshows 75 underground parking spaces and a po3sibre's t" asurface spaces. The staff position at thiS tiroe is thatparking for t_his project rnuit rneet the requirernents perthe Town of Vail rnunicipal code.
With regard to the surface parking spaces, ConnunityDevelopment Departnent feer-s they-are not appropriate asdesigned and.that surface parking may not ri-aplropriateat all- on this site. rf you wourd r.ike to pursue surfaceparking, it rnust be redesigned where it is Lonrpletety onthe applicantrs property and does not conflict withcirculation patternl .
3. staff feels strongly that this building should present noencroachment into the view corridor th;t is estlntistred bythe.approved Vair Virrage rnn deveropment. The existing '
design wilr reguire substantial revisions to naintain tfreview parameters established by the WI .
" .'-lt
,J
we -feer ta the east and lrest .iag"L.e both too high,and believe that the ridge heights shouLd be driven ui itreview considerations as well as their relation to the laveline of the approved Vail Village Inn project thatsurrounds this development. Relationship-of the ridgelines of the.Gateway to the eave lines of the vair Vilr.agernn project is inportant in rnaintaining the consideratioiof stepping up from the corner to the VaiI village Innproject.
With regard to building shape and form, we feel that theridge-areas, particulaify ttre eastern iiage form should besinplified into a single-gable with dormeis. This wouldstrengthen consistency with the Urban Design Guide plan.the flat roof form is also an'issue that needs to beaddressed in context with the Urban Design Guide plan.
4. We feel that the driveway width should be increased toaccommodate a pedestrian walkway or that the pedestrianentrance on the south side shourd be rerocated closer toto Vail Road.
5. With regard to.setbacks, we feel strongly that the northside of the building should maintain a-26 foot setbackfrom the property line. This would keep it in Line withthe plane of the approved VaiI Village fnn building. Withregard to the setback on the east side of the property, wewourd encourage the architects to investigate -arrying'tnefirst floor f\rrther to the property line fo encourage apossible architectural connection witU tne VaiI ViliageInn_project. This would elininate any alley way, andwould allow the project to naintain enough squaie footageto pull the north side of the building bick. -
6. We feel that it will be important that this project andthe approved Vail Village Inn project, when Luitt, have astrong pedestrLan connection. we recognize the need for
!|e leygfoper of the Wr project to reiate his project tothe Vait Gatelray. We do want to ensure, howeve-r, f,hat thedesign of the caterny arrows this pedestrian connection tooccur.
As you can see, the staff has substantiat concerns with thecurrent proposal . we feel that the concept is sound and wourdlike to work with you toward refinenent and resolution or sorneof these issues. rt is our reconmendation that the fornallearing date of February 22 be postponed. in order to allowfuther conmunications on ttris projelt. rf you wish to noveforward on February 22nd, we wilt-not be able to support theproject as proposed.
Sincerely, -

PART ONE - THE DEVELOPMENT PIAN
Palmer Developnent proposes to redevelop the site of the existing
Amoco Service Station located upon portions of Lots N and Ot
Block 5Dr Vail Village First Fi1ing. The land is currently zoned
Heavy Service Zone District and has been the site of a gas
station since the early days of Vail. The station has been
nanaged by a nunber of different operators over the years and is
currently operated as an Amoco Station with I gas pumps' a car
washr and 4 service and repair bays. In addition the stationsells snack and sundry items such as popr ice, candyr dnd other
f ood iterns.
The site currently is totally covered by building and asphalt and
access to the site for vehicles exists at a point on the east endof the site off of the South Frontage Road and along the entire
r,restern property boundary adjacent to Vail Road. There is nospecifically defined pedestrian access to the site.
The proposal being nade at this tine is to redevelop the siteinto a mixed-use developnent containing retail, officet
comnercial , and residential uses. The overall intent is that thesite can be redeveloped in such a manner that results in a highlyattractlve building and site vrhich is a rnajor focal point ofVail.. Since the site is located at the main entry for people
arriving to Vail and forrns an inportant first impression of vailfor nany visitors, it is important that the site be irnproved and'to the ext,ent possible, become an extension of the character ofVail Village.
As depicted on the site Plan, the proposed development would
consolidate the existing poorly defined vehicular access points
into one location off of vail Road. In additionr the large
arnount of surface parking vrill, be elirninated with virtually allrequired parking accornmodated uithin an underground parkinggarage. Short term parking spaces will be provided upon aportion of the site along Vail Road. Pedestrian access to thegite and along the sitesr perineter will be provided as shown andwil.l serve to provide a link to the approved VaiJ. Village Inn
expansion which abuts this property on its south and east sides.
In order to provide a pleasing ielationship with both theintersection of Vail Road and Frontage Road and with the proposed
surrounding development of the VaiI Viltage Inn' the building hasbeen designed to have the greatest setback off of the
intersect.ion (or northvrest corner of the site) and then step upin height from that point from one to four stories. oriented
towards the intersection will be an interesting and inviting
arcade which covers an int,erior retail area on the first level.In addition, an area has been set aside near the intersection forthe placenent of
landscape feature.
a sculpture, fountainr or other suitable
It ls anticipated that the first floor retail level wiLl providean interesting pedestrian experience along the north and $'estsides of the building and serve as an extension of the existingVaiJ Village Conmercial Core. The second level of the proposedbuilding will consist of a mix of office and residential ipacewith the third and fourth levels consistinq of residential usealso.
A summary of the proposed developnent is as follows:
Lot Size: 241154 square feet.

, PART TtiO - IMPACTS/MITIGATION
In accordance with the Town of VaiI requirements regardingpotential environmental inpacts of proposed projects, thefollowing section discusses the proposal in terms of changeswhich might resr:1.! rlue to the proposed development upon the site.Also discussed are the relationships of the proposal to various
Town of Vail plans, goals1 and policies.
Hvdroloqic Conditions:
Hydrologic conditions associated with the site will be inprovedas a result of the proposal. While no current hazard has beenidentified or existsr the potential of the current use of thesite as a gas and autornobile service station certainly ranks highon the list of land uses which can result in the pollution andcontamination of both nat,ural water courses and ground rrater.
Leakage of underground tanks as well as surface runoff ofcontarninants such as gasr oiI, and transmission fluids aIl couldpotentially contribute to inpacts upon hydrologic conditions.The elirnination of these potential sources from the site wilt bea benef i.t.
Virtually all drainage upon the site will either be collected asa part of a roof collection system. Drainage from the parkinggarage will be designed in a manner which will collect all siltand oil drippings which might occur.
Atnospheric Conditions
, rPotential impacts from the proposed development upon atmosphericconditions will result nainly from the additional 13 fireplacespranned to be incruded wirhii rhe buitdffifiaEeathat the wood smoke trom these fireplaces will contribute to theair pollution which Vail currently experiences periodically
throughout the year as a result of the inversions that occurwithin the Gore Va11ey. Fireplaces will be constructed andinstaLled in a manner which meets Tovrn of Vailr €lnd State ofColorado standards for emissions.
Due to the rernoval of the gasoline pumps the funes which are aninvisible but objectionable environmental hazard will beeliminated from the site. This will be a positive inpact uponthe atmospheric conditions upon the property.
Geoloqic Conditions:
As indicated on Town of vail hazard maps, the site does not tiewithin any potential areas of geologic hazards and no changes orimpacts to geologic conditions will occur as a result 5f theproposed developrnent.
Noise and Odor:
Noise and odor impacts associated with the proposed developmentwill be ninimal and should be inproved- over the culrentconditions upon the site. Removal of Lhe gas and service stationwill be positive with regard to this aspeit or the site and itsrelationship to the proposed Vail village Inn project. Thereduction of the rarge number of surface pirking spacei upon thesite' as werl as the elimination of ttre totarry aulomobileoriented use of the site will dramaticarly reduce boEh'noise andexhaust associated with the use of the sile as a service station.
The proposed underground garage wirl be mechanically exhaustedand venting will be located in the nort,heast corner of thestructure in an area which witl have the reast amount of neqativeinpact
iiflrls:tsjris*s
The scenic value of the property will be enhanced as a result ofthe development proposal . The current use of the site as agasorine and service station is visually unattractive both dayand night and the visual improvement of Vail's main entry is akey objective of the redevelopment of the property.
The proposed redeveloprnent wiLl resutt in the establishment ofboth a streetscape and architectural quality which ls fitting fora location with the prominence and irnportance of this site.- rtis inportant that this location be upgraded to provide a positivefirst impression to the travelrer aiiiving to Vail. cuirentlyrand especially in the eveningl the impreision one gets at thefour-way stop is not nuch different. thln one gets at nany otherexits along our Interstate Free$ray Systen. -The proposll willhelp to change this visuarization oi vlir and create tire interestand excitement which is fitting for our major 'gateway,r.
At the time the vair Virlage rnn special Devel.opment District wasforrned it was recognized that the distant views- to vail Mounlainwhich are experienced upon arrival. at the intersection of vail
Road and the south Frontage Road are pleasant views and shourd
1,o!_be-totally eliminated by new developnent. The massing of thevail vill.age rnn is such Lhat views Lo the upper portions ofvarious ski runs does exist. since the vai] Gateway iite ries inthe foreground of the proposed expansion of the vail village rnn,
heights and rnassing have been established which are lower than
those specified for the Vall Village Inn expansion and therefore
the nassing of the proposed bullding respects the spirlt of what
ig desired in terms of the distant views. The massing of the
proposed builcling and the relationship to the approved Vail
i Village Inn are demonst'rated in the following eh
I
Land Use Condit.ions:
The land use conditions upon the site are significantly affectedaa a result of the proposal . Not only does the proposal resultin a major inprovenent in the type and character of land use uponthe site but the planned redevelopment also serves to implement amultit.ude of goals and policies of the Town of Vail includingthose incorporated into the Vail Land Use PIan, Vail CommunityAction P1an7 Draft Vail Village Master Plan, and vail Retail
Study.
Tle plimary change in land use contempJ.ated by the proposal isthe elinination of the classification of the site ai nHeavy
Servicen. Uses currently designated for location within the
Heavy Service Zone District include the follows:
l. Ski lifts and tows;2. Accessory dwelling unit for service personnel;3. Animal hospitals and kennels, dog kennel;4. Automotive service stations;5. Building materials supply storesi6. Business offices;7. Comrnercial laundry and cleaning services;8. Corporation yards;9. Machine shops;10. t-lotor vehicle sales and servicesi11. Repair garagesiL2. Repair shops;13. Tire sales and services including retreading and
recapprng i14. Trucking terminals and truck service stations;15. Vehicle storage yards.16. Warehousesi and17. vtroodirorking and cabinet shops.
As indicated previously the proposed Special Development Districtwould consist of office space, conmercial and retail space, andresidential dwelling units and is intended to be an upgrade and
enhancement of this area. It is the applicants feeling that thistype of land use is much nore positive for the community than theexisting heavy service classification. It is intended that theunderlying Zone District would be CommerciaL Core One.
Several Town of Vail goals and policies indicate that theredevelopment proposed wiLl be a positive change in land use.

Vail VilIaqe Master Plan:
The Land Use Plan adopted November 18, 1985, specified apreferred Land Use Plan for the Town of VaiI. The Vail Gatelraysite was designated within the Plan as being governed by theViJ.lage Master Plan. Although the Village Master Plan has yet to
be officially adopted, the draft of this Village PIan contains
many goals and policies which deal with the redevelopnent ofproperties within and adjacent to Vail Villager including thesubject site.
o
llixed use sub-Area is the designation given to the area whichincludes the proposed vair Gateway Building. The plan statesthat:
There is a great deal of pot,ential for inprovements to bothpublic and private facilities in the area. Among these isthe opportunity to develop gateway entries to the Village atthe 4-way stop and at the intersection of Vail Road- and
Meadow Drive. pedestrianization in the area will benefltfrom infilt development and streetscape improvementsthroughout the sub-area. Significant increasei in theVillagers overnight bed base nay also be accomnodated inthis sub-area."
Goars and objectives specified for this area which are applicableto the proposal are:
-l_: Encourage high quality redevelopnent while preservingtr:^ the unique aichitectulal scale oi the village- in ordeito sustain Vailrs sense of community and identity.
2. To foster a strong touristyear-around econonic healthVillage and for the comnunity
J.. To recognize as a top priority the importance of- nalntaining and enhancing the walking experiencethroughout the Village.
T.Eicourage the development of new connercial activitywhere conpatible with the existing character of theViI1age.
It is clear that the Vail Gateway will make a positive steptowards achieving these goals and planning for the project hasbeen based upon helping to implenent these goals.
Vall Retail Study:
The Analysis of Vail Retail Space needs conpleted in June of 1988suggested that, althougb existing approved projects and areasplanned for retail development appear to be sufficient to providethe retail space requi.red to meet the demand anticipated Lhroughthe year 2000, it may not be desirabl.e for development to occurin the areas far outside of the existing core arels. The studyconcluded that, from the perspect.ive of improving the retail
economyr the pedestrian flow to locations off of Bridge Street invail Village could be enhanced by new retail areas located ininfill locations. The Vail Gatewai is such a site and will be apositive step towards increasing the pedestrian traffic along
Dleadow Drive and the vicinity of the Vail Village Inn.
industry and to promoteand viability for theas a whole.
Urban Desiqn Guide Plan:
The Urban Design Guide Plan for Vail Village has been an integralpart of the redevelopment of properties within Vail Village over
the past seven years. The plan was adopted to guide the design
elenents of the various proposed neht buildings or building
remodels within the Village. White all of the design
considerations within the Guide Plan are not meant to be
applicable to the subject site nor are they appropriate' the
proposed building has been designed to reflect many of the design
elements encouraged within the heart of Vail Village.
Design considerations such as the pedestrianization and
streetscape franework of the Village have been incorporated into
the site design for Vail cateway and will help to improve the
pedestrian experience in the vicinity of VaiI Road and East
lleadow Drive by creating an attractive retail anchor at what canbe defined as the northwest corner of Vail Village. The
introduction of these design elements in this location will also
help to extend the design character and quality of VaiI Village
out to the periphery where it can be inrnediately visualized by
those arriving to Vail and therefore, exhibit a positive irnage of
the community and help to announce the excitenent and vitality of
Vail.
The Guide Plan encourages the study and upgrade of the four-way
stop areas as a major entry to Vail and many inprovenents have
been made to this area recently in terms of signage and
landscaping. Further improvements are contemplated as a resultf the recent sign program and no doubt others will be
incorporated into the Town-wide Landscape Improvement Plan
currently in progress. The major upgrade and redevelopment of
the subject site can onfy help to strengthen the inage of this
6rea of Town and is a strong indication of the private sector I s
illingness to participate in the enhancement of the community.
Circulation and Transportation Conditions:
TDA, Inc. has prepared an analysis of the proposal redevelopmentof the site (see Appendix). The traffic study evaluates current
and future roadway conditlons, assesses the traffic operational
impacts of the project and makes recomnendations regardingtraffic operations.

This rezoning request has been proposed in order to facilitatethe redevelopnent of the existing Anoco Service Station on thesoutheast corner of the 4-way intersection in Vail Village.
The proposed VaiI Gateway project is a mixed use developnentcontaining retail, office, commercial and residential uses withparking requirenents provided in an underground structure.
The Vail cateway project, Special Development District No. 2L,as proposed in Ordinance 9, Series of 1988, was tabled by theapplicant at the first reading on llarch 15th. The Town Councilraised severaL issues and concerns with the project. Thedeveloper tabled the project in order to complete revisionsthat would address concerna of the Town Council and staff. Theappllcant has amended the project Ln six areas:
1. Parkincr.requirgme{rls: The parking requirement of 95
spaees is met by the provision of 95 covered parking
spaces.
2. Buildinq orientation: EuphasLs has been redirected to the
southern entrance.
3.East setback:The allelr has been elininated by the

I. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
This rezoning reguest has been proposed in order tofacilitate the redevelopnent of the existing Amoco ServiceStation on the southeast corner of the 4-say intersectionin VaiI Village, At the present tine the Amoco Station iszoned Heavy Service District. The Heavy Service Districtuses consist of industrial and service businesses. Theexisting Amoco station consists of 8 gasoline purnps and asrnall one-story building containing 4 service repair baysand a car wash. The size of this site is approximately24,L54 square feet.
The proposed Vail cateway project is a mixed usedevelopment containing retail , office, conmercial andresidential uses, with a rnajority of the parking beingprovided in an underground structure.
Section L8.40.010 of the VaiI Municipal Code describes thepurpose of Special Developnent Districts. It reads asfollows:
rrThe purpose of special deveLopment districts is to
encourage flexibility in the development of land inorder to promote its most appropriate usei to inprovethe design, character and quality of new developrnent;to facilitate the adeguate and economic provision ofstreets and utilities; and to preseri/e the naturaland scenic features of open areas.I
The special Developnent District chapter in the Municipal
Code goes on to state that:
rrThe uses in a Special Development District must beuses rpernitted by right, conditional uses, oraccessory uses l-n the zone district in which theSpecial Development District is located. rr
fn order to meet these requirements of the Special
Development District chapter, the applicant has applied torezone this property from Heavy Service District to
Commercial Core I and simultaneously apply for Special
o
Developnent Distrl-ct No. 2l-. This memorandum will addressthe rezoning of the property from Heavy Service to
Corurnercial Core f, as well as the application of SpecialDevelopment District to this parcel with Commercial Core Ias the underlying zone district.
A summary of the proposed development is as follows:
A. Floor Area:
Retail: l,L,2oo sf
Retailr/Cornnercial: 3,900 sf
office:
Residential:
B. Buildinq Heiqhts:
Building heights of the east and west ridges ascalculated by the standard Town of Vail rnethod areapproximately 62 and 57 feet respectively. The peakridge heights are 52 and 52 feet above the elevationof the A-way intersection.
C. Site Coveraqe:
1-4,357 sf , 508
D. Parkinq
75 covered spaces3 surface spaces
E. Proposed Uses
Uses as proposed are to be those uses specifiedwithin the Conmercial Core I zone district.
F. Access:
Vehicular access to the underground parking wouldtake place off of Vaj-I Road on the southwest cornerof the site. A comprehensive traffic analysis isincl-uded within the development plan.
In order to evaluate this proposal , we must first evaluatethe request to amend the zoning frour Heavy Service toCommercial Core I. The Heavy Service District as it isdefined in its purpose section in the zoning code isintended to provide siteE for autornotive oriented uses andfor commercial service uses which are not appropriate inother comrnercial districts. Because of the nature of the
.:'.i
4r9OO sf
121000 sf, 13 du
uses pernitted and their operatLng characteristics,
appearance and potential for generating traffic, all ofthe uses in this distrlct are subject to conditional usepermit procedure. Some of the uses allowed aE conditionatuses within the Heavy Senrice zone dLstrict include animalhospitals and kennels, automotLve service stations,building naterial supply stores, business offices,corporation yards, nachine shops, repair garages, tiresales and service, and trucking termLnals.
The Heavy Service District does reguire 20 foot setbacksfrom all property lines, allows a 38 foot building height,75t site coveragte, and requireEr a nininum of 10* landscapecoveraete. Density standards are not applicable to the
Heavy Service District, as no residential tlpe use isIisted as a permitted or conditlonal use in the HeavyService District.
The Commercial Core I zone dlstrict allows a variety ofretail-, cornmercial and residential. uses, all of rrhich arecontrolled as permitted or sonditional uses on ahorizontal zoning basis.
The proposed change frorn HS to CCI entails a roajor changein the allowable uses for this parcel of land. A conpliteanalysis of the merits of this zone amendment is addressedin another section of this memorandurn.
II. CRITERIA TO BE USED IN EVALUATING THIS PROPOSAL
fhere are a number of criteria to be evaluated whenreviewing a request of this nature. The first set ofcriteria to be utitized will be the three criteriainvolved in an evaluation of a request for zone change.fhe second set of criteria to be used in revier of thisproposal will be the 9 development standards as set forthin the Special Development District chapter of the ZoningCode. The third set of criteria wLll be a general
conparison of the proposed project to the uiban DesignGuide Plan, as stipulated in the CCI zone diEtrict.
A1so, the Land Use Plan should be utilized as a guidet inein any reguest to change zoning. However, becauie thissite is part of the area covered by the Vail ViIJ.ageMaster Plan/Urban llesign Guide Plan, the Land Use plan
made no recommendationE for this site. The VaiI VillageMaster Plan, as yet unapproved, reconmends no changes inthe land use of this site.
Staff comments include those of Jeff Winston, our urbandesign/landscape consultant.
III. EVALUATION OF ZONE CHANGE REQUEST FROM HEAVY SERVTCE TO
COMI,TERCIAL CORE I
Suitabilitv of existinq zoninq
The staff feels that the existing gas station is anacceptable use as existing on the corner of the 4-waystop. We do recognize, however, that it is one ofthe few uses allowed in the Heavy Service Districtthat would be an acceptable use in this highlysensitive location. The conditional use reviewprocess would require Town of Vail approval for anychange in use on this site. We have also recognizedfor guite some time that redevelopnent of this sitecould aLlow the opportunity to present a morepleasant and appropriate entrance statement to the
Town of Vail . We generalty support the uses proposedat this location.
Is. the amendment presenting a convenj-ent, workablerelationship within land uses consistent with
Ttre Anoco site has been called out on the UrbanDesign Guide Plan as a special study area and has
been reviewed previously as a potential portion ofthe Vail Village Inn developrnent project. Withconcern over the potential congestion a bank couldcause at this location, we feel that the usesproposed for this piece of ground are generallyconsistent with the surroundings uses.
Does the rezoninq provide for the qrowth of anorderlv, viable communitv.
We feel that developnent of a gateway project intoVail is a sound concept. This concept can providefor orderly and viable growth within the comrnunity ifrevisions to the plan, such as inclusion of a leftturn lane and elinination of parking along Vail noadare incorporated.

The proposed developruent is surrounded by commercialdeveloprnent on the south and east sides, by Vail Roadon the west side and by the Frontage Road on thenorth side. There is no residential area that thisproject should provide a buffer from. The staff doesfeel stron9ly, however, that the north side of thebuilding should nalntain a Z0 foot setback frorn theproperty line. We feel that the proposed l_O footsetback is inadeguate from the Frontage Road. Thereis an existing landscape buffer between the servicestation and the roadway. This planter, however, isentirely located on State Highway right-of-way andneither the applicant nor the Town of Vail controlfuture development on that property.

purposes.
As is nany of these criteria, this consideration isintended prirnarily for large scale development. Asit relates to this proposal , the vehiculai access tothe underground parking occurs in the southwesterncorner of the site. There is a comprehensive trafficanalysis that has been submitted as part of the
developraent plan. This traffic analysis states thatthere is a 4O foot stacking distance for cars waitingto turn left into the Gateway project from Vail Road.
The Connunity Development staff and Public Works feelttrat circulation reLated to this project wouldbenefit greatly by the design and inplementation of a
c.
left turn lane on Vail Road to serve the Vail catetrayproject. This irnprovement makes sense due to thepredicted daily traffic flow of 810 cars/day into andout of this drivenay.
The approved VaiI ViIIage Inn project does contain aIeft turn lane for thelr access point a shortdistance down Vail Road from this project. We feelit is important to circulation at the 4-!rayintersection that this left turn lane be nade a partof the project.
The applicant has also designed into the project
approximately three surface parking spaces that fallpartially on the applicantrs property and partially
on the road right-of-way on Vail Road. The stafffeels that these surface parking spaces are notappropriate as they are designed and that surfaceparking may not be appropriate at all on this site.
The spaces are too close to the intersection andwould inpede future road inprovements if needed. tilefeel that if the applicant wishes to pursue surfaceparking, it should be redesigned to be conpletely onthe applicant,s property and in an area where it doesnot conflict with circulation patterns.
t ter1ns timumreservatof na eature
dra areas eaE].on. vfunct
The Conmunity Development Department feels strongl-ythat this buildlng should present no encroachmentinto the view corridor that is established by theapproved Vail Village Inn development. During theVaiI Village Inn Phase IV approval process, much tineand effort was put into maintaining a view corridorfrom the 4-way stop. The eventual and approvedbuilding design of the Vait Village Inn phase IVreflects this effort and presents a wide view fromthe 4-way stop. Although the applicant has notsubnitted to the staff a conplete view analysis, itis apparent from the infornation that we do-have thatthe existing building will require substantialrevision to naintain the view parameters that areestablished by the wr.
Yariglyjn ter-ns of housino tvpe, densities,rac]-llt,tes and open space.
This Special Developrnent District proposal includes13 dwelling units with GRFA of approxinately 12,OOOsquare feet. With CCI as the underlying zoning, theallowable density on this parcel would be 13 units
D.
and approxinately 19,300 square feet of GRFA. The
use of the units (i.e. rental or condoniniurn) has not
been deternl-ned.
It is difficult, on a site of 24,OOO sguare feet thatcontains only l-3 dwelling units to apply the criteriaof variety of housing tlpe and quality and anount ofopen space. These two criteria are not reallyapplicable to a development of this scale. Theapplicant has attenpted to provlde some open space bycreatlng a large setback from the 4-way intersectionin the forn of a landscape or sculpture plaza. StafffeeLs that this design forn is very appropriate tothis developnent.

estr traffic terms of sa ationconvenlence, access ts ofattractiveness.
The applicant has provided pedestrian entrance tothis building on the northwest corner as well as apedestrian entrance centrally located on the southelevation. The pedestrian entrance on the southelevation is located in the center of the building toallow pedestrian traffic to arrive at the building bycoming through both the existing and approved VailVillage Inn developuents. The approved VaiL VillageInn Phase Mevelopnent was designed in a manner toscreen view and pedestrian accesa from the existinggas station. We feel that it will be irnportant theeventual developer of the VaiI Village phase IVproject anend certain circulation and design aspectsof his project to better relate to the VaiI Gatewayproject.
The staff does feel that pedestrian safety would begreatly benefited by providing a pedestrian walknayfron VaiI Road to the buiLding entrance on the southside of the building. The pedestrian access asdesigned conflicts with the vehicular access to theparking structure.
Department staff hassite relationship of thethe height, and with the
G.
o
massing of the building. There was much dLscussionduring the approval process of Phase IV of the VailVillage fnn project regarding stepping thosebuildings down toward the 4-way stop. That concept
was reinforced in the original SDD documents and inplanning studies completed by Eldon Beck that showproposed building height allowances for the VallVillage Inn area.
The architects have recognized this concept and, to acertain extent, responded. We do, however, haveserious concern with the height of both the east andwest ridges. we feel that the height of these ridgespresents an unacceptable encroachnent by narrowingthe wide view corridor to a smaller rrtunnel . rl
Lowering of the ridge heights will accomplish twoobjectives in the development of this site. It wouldreduce or remove any impact of this building on theview corridor and it would further reinforce theconcept of stepping down toward the corner. In thepresent proposal , there is approxirnately 5 feetdifference from the ridge heights of the Vail villageInn and the Gateway projects. We feel there shouldbe a substantial step down from the Vail Village Innridge height to the Vail Gateway ridges. This-vouldreinforce previous design considerations as well asthe applicantts own architectural concept.
The staff also has a concern, as has been previouslystated in this memo, with the rel-ationshlp of thisbuilding to the Frontage Road. Tlris developrnent planproposes a LO foot setback from the front propertyline. While there is an existing planter thalbuffers this site fron the Frontage Road, thatplanter is located entirely on State Highway right-of-way. There are no assurances that can be rnade bythe Town of Vail or the applicant that furtherFrontage Road inprovements will not impact thJ.splanter. We feel that a 2O foot setback from themain road in Vail is the ninimum buffer that shouldbe allowed.

Staff feels that the design of the plaza entrance onthe northwest corner of this development isappropriate and presents a great opportunity for
development of a landscaped plaza, possibly rrith somesculpture. This plaza area can contribute nuchtoward the positive inage of Vail. The plaza as itis designed is very conceptual and further work will
need to take place at the Design Review leve1 .
VT. ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
A. Uses
the applicant is proposing this Special DevelopmentDistrict with the underlying zone district of CCf.As required in the Special Developnent Districtsection of the Vail tlunicipal Code, the uses in an
SDD nust natch that of the underlying zone diEtrict.In the CCI zone district, perrnitted and conditionaluses are defined horizontally by buitding l_evel . tilefeel that utilizing CCI as an underlying zonedistrict requires the applicant to structure his usesin accordance to the horizontal zoning of CCI . Thiswill reguire submittal and approval of a conditional
use permit for the office uses. For the purpose ofreview of this project, the staff has assumed thatoffl-ce will be an eventual- use on the 3rd and 4thIevels, and see no negatl.ve iupact to these uses.
The total size of this parcel is 24rLs4 square feet.
Unde.r CCI zoning, this would allow a l-9r323 squarefeet of GRFA and l-3 dwelling units. The applicanthas proposed approxinately 12r000 square feet of GRFAand L3 dwelling units. The density proposed iswithin allowabte density of the zone district. Thestaff does feel , however, that the overall bulk and
mass of this building results in several najorconcerns of this developnent proposal . The level ofdensity being requested by the applicant contributesto the massing of the building, and is thereforerelated to those concerns.
Parkinq
According to standards outlined in the Off-StreetParking section of the zoning code, the uses involvedin this proposal wilJ, reguire from 89 to 104 parking
spacesr, depending upon whether or not a bank isinvolved and what the size of that facility would be.
The applicant has proposed 75 structures spaces and 3surface spaces. Staff feels that the surface parkingas located and designed is inappropriate. Thatleaves 75 parking spaces to serve this developnent.

The appLicants have subml-tted a parking managernentplan they feel addresses the ability of their
development to serve'their parking needs. Theparking management plan has been included as a partof your packet on this project.
VII. URBAN DESTGN GUIDE PI,AN
The Urban Design Guide Plan addresses thid parcel of landas a special study area and does identify two sub-areaconcepts that relate to this proposal . Sub-area concepts1 and 2 on East Meadow Drive involve both short and longterm suggested improvenrents as an entry into the communityand to Vail Road. Improvements include planting bedexpansions, an island to narrow VaiI Road, and treeplanting to further restrict views down Vail Road. Thesesub-area concepts also reinforce the fact that this parcelshould be a future study area.
other than sorne initial work done by Eldon Beck, thatsuggest building heights for this parcel as well as theVillage Inn parcel and some study done to incorporate thissite into the WI , no special study of this partel of landhas been conducted to date. The Eldon Beck study does
show that building heights for developrnent of this parcelof land should reach one to two stories. The Beck planalso shows that the Vail Village fnn development behindthis parcel should be a naxirnum of 3 to 4 stories. Thestaff supports the Beck concept of stepping down to theintersection, but given the heights of the approved VaiIVillage Inn project, we certainly feel that 2 to 3 storiesof development on this site are appropriate.
While this proposed development is within the general areaof the Urban Design Guide Plan, we feel that many of theUrban Design Considerations may not be appropriatecriteria vith which to review this project. We do,however, have concerns of several aspects of this proposal.in a general relation to the Urban Design Considerations.
The building height and views, in particular, are concernsof this proposal. and issues that do not adeguatelycorrespond to the Urban Design Considerations.
The Urban Design Guide Plan building height considerationprovides for a naximum heigtrt in the CCI zone district.This building height reguirement is a mixed height of 33and 43 feet, with 4O* of the buiJ-ding allowed up to 43feet in height. We feel that these height guidelines,
coupled with the concept of stepping this building downtoward the intersection, suggest appropriate desJ.gnguidelines for this developnent proposal .
The Design Consideration regarding views and focal pointsstates that:
trVail's mountain/valley settJ-ng is a fundamental partof its ldentlty. Views of the mountains, ski slopes,geologic features, etc. are constant reminders of thenountain environnent, and by repeated visibility,orientation reference points. rl
While the view corridor through the approved VaiI VillageInn project from the 4-way stop is not a desJ.gnated viewcorridor by ordinance, we feel it is a very inportant viewupon entering the community. The Vail Village Inn project
responded to staff concerns and attempted to maintain anacceptabl-e view corrl-dor fron the 4-way stop. We feelstrongly that the Vail cateway project must respect theview corridor as defined by the Vait Village InnAuilding.
The applicant has responded well with his building designto several of the other desJ_gn considerations includingstreetscape framework, street edge, vehicle penetration
and service and delivery. However, we have major concernswith the amount of flat roof proposed. Flat roofs arediscouraged in the Urban Design Guide plan.
VIII STAFF RECO!,T},fENDATION
Staff generally supports the mixed use concept proposed inthis redevelopment plan and the concept of the rezoning to
CcI . Although it nay be considered spot zoning, we feelthat the uses are compatible with the adjacent VailVillage Inn Special Developnent District and areappropriate for this location within the connunity.
Honrever, we are not supportive of the uses proposedwithout the left turn lane and elirnination of the surfaceparklng as well as adeguate parking provisions. We feelthat.the general concept of development proposed by theapplicant is appropriate and believe that there is-anopportunity here to provide an exciting and aestheticallypleasing entrance into Vail .
The Connunity Developnent Departnent staff has, however,major concerns with the project as proposed. We feel theissues of bulk and mass, height, setbacks, view corridor
encroachment and parking are all important issues thatnust be addressed. The staff reconmendation for thisproject would be for the Planning Connission to table thisand allow the staff and the applicant to work together totry to resolve some of these issues. We feel that with
adequate resolution of the aforernentioned issues, we couldsupport this project. However, as presented, we feel
there are najor Lasues that need to be addressed andcannot support thle project as presented, Although ranyof the uses of the Eeavy Serrrl.ce DistrLct would certainlynot be acceptable in thl-s location, we feel that theexistLng serrrice station is appropriate to this location.
We believe that'SDD *21 aa proposed, presente impacte thatare not acceptable. If the applicant wishee to movefomard with thls proJect as proposed, staff
reeonmendation is for denial .

Re: Vail Gateway - Anti-que Pine Flame Spread
Dear Mlke:
This 1s to update our discussions and rny l"etter to you of
December 14, 1990t concerning the wood millwork installed inVail Gateway.
Subsequent to that letter, Dieter Menzel has had the material
tested. I have enclosed a copy of that report for your
information. ft shows a flame spread of 85 which is
considerably lower than we had assumed, though sti11 Class III.
This should provide firm documentation that this particular
paneling method is acceptable for use in the ma1l and in shopswithin the Gatewav.
Sincerely yours,
^ffff:

The ASTM E84-89a (25 foot tunnel) test method ie intended to compare the
gurface flame spread and smoke developed measurements to those
obtained from tests of mineral fiber cement board and select grade red oak
flooring. fire test specimen surface (18 inches wide and ?tL feeb long) ie
etposed to a flaming fire exposure during the 10 minute test duratioq,
while flame spread over its iudace and density of the resulting emoke are
measured anii recorded. Test results are presented as the computed
comparisong to the standard calibration materials.
The furnace is considered under calibration when a 10 minute test of red
oak decking will pass flame out the end of the tunnel in five ninutes, 30
seconds, plus or minus 15 seconds. Mineral fiber cement board forme the
zero poirit, while the red oak flooring flame spread and smoke developed
ratings are set as 100.

V. OBSERVATIONS
Spotty ignition occurred at 0:1? (minsec) and steady ignitioq at 0:24 with
uiaximum fl.ame spread of 19.5' at 8:48. Pieces of burnt wood falling_to the
floor occured at il07, cracking at 3:28, floor flaming at 5:32. When the test
flame was extinguished, the specimene continued to flame for more than
1min.
After cooling and renoval ftom the tunnel, the specinlens w-ere obsenred
to be discoloired, charred and cracked.to ?A', seveiely charred to 9' and
completely charred to 3'.

Re: Vail Gateway Plaza
Gentlemen:
RJC will be installing an additional supply fan in the lowerma1}, level 94'-6n, as discussed today on the jobsite. Thiswill pressurize the area and enable the srnoke evacuation fan inthe Siamese Orchid restaurant to function as intended. Thiswork will be completed no later than Decenber 2? | LggO.
To ensure the system in the Siarnese orchid will work properlyuntil this additional fan is installed, we will disable thedoor from the Siarnese Orchid into the lower level rna1l. Thiswill keep any snoke from entering the nal1 area.
In addition, signage will be installed on every retail door withthe following, rrDoor Must Remain Closed At A11 Timesrt. LeoPalner, the developer, has enployed a 24 hour building managerto enforce this requirernent. The building rnanager will alsoprevent any electrical cords from being strung in any comnonarea, ensure all- rated doorways are closed at all times, and ingeneral, police the project.
If you have any guestions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Gary:
I have enclosed the original fax of a survey report conducted by

Re: survey of Gaso'l lne Yapor at vall Gateway, corner of yall Roao and theFrontage f,oad, Vai'l , Co'lorado
0ear l4r. Palmer:
This l.etter presents the resultr of our survey of gasol Ine vapor5 in andaround the above-referenced site. rhe survey-was ierformed by Nr. Tomllesemann of our f lrm. l'1r. Hesemann has over- l0 yebrs of expellence lrrenvironnental studies, and has been working on tiri s slte slnce the gaso'l inewas first discovered. The work was conducted on Thursday, 0ecember-13, .l 990.
It is our und€rstandtng that the vapor recovery
systems were not operrting during the survey.operational in the near future.
rhe weather at the time of the survey was cloudy, cold (25 to 30" F), hJithllght snow. construction. activity was very higi durtng the survey.' Anorganlc vapor lreter (ovl'l)'and a conbustibie Gis Indicitc'r (cGl1'were used,BoLh insLruments were calibrated at the slte.
Two types of readings yrere tahen during the survey, generar eurvey arrd sltespecil"lc. Genera'l sur'vey readings were taken by plaiing the neters on theground surface or floors for about 30 seconds and notln! the mdximufii readingson the meters. slte speclflc readlngs were taken by p1 iclng the meters ovei'or__in specific structures, such as floor dralns, thb annului around pipes in
wai I s, the el evator shaft. and the stal r wel l s.
The survey_readings rre surmarized on Table I. The surveJ began on theexterlor of the structrJre by taklng general readlngs at le Ioaations equa'l ly
spaced around the'l 1mlts of the original excavatlon. The OvH reattings'rang-ed
IIg.m 1!g 3,6 ppmr the CGI readlngs Here zero at all tocations. The highei
OvH readings were obtained near operating equtpm€nt. Genera] survey reidingsin the parking area vari ed frsm 3 to 3.9 ppm, These values are general ly

above readings outstde the structure. However, there wele tlirtlnctive glue
and paint odors in [he bulldlng. The ortgln of the odor is mqrt likely thematerials treing used for construction. No gasoline odors were noticed ifl the
parki ng garage.
Speclftc readlngs taken In the elevator shaft, stair wel1s, around pipes andfloor drains ranged from 3.6 to 12 ppm 0n the OVfi and zero on the CGI. The
highest 0vil readlng (12 ppm) was obtained fron a floor drain on the lowest
parklng level . There were no distinctive odors above the dra'l n. There was no
no[iceable sheen or other Indication of gasoline. Ihe elevated OYM reading is
probably due tq e glue, solvent, or palnt that a worker cleaned frorn hir orher tools and washed down the floor draln.
General _survey readings taken on the lst, 2nd and 3rd floors of the bulldlng
ranged fronr 3.6 to 4.5 on the 0Vtl and were zero on the CGI. The glue andpalnt odors were noticeably rLronger on these leve'l s of the structure.
ln sumnary, the survey did not reveal any lndlcatlons of gasollne vapors 1nthe structure, Ovl'l readings were in a range that tre yrould conslder normal for
a building wlth a hlgh presence of glues, paints, and other volaHle organlcs-
The one elevated OVM reaoing obtained from a f'loor drain is probably theresult of a worker cleanlng hls or her tools. The lack of detectrble gasoline
vapors, even though the vapor extraction system was not operating, is apositlve sjgn thrt vapors are not likely to be a problem ln the structure.

Re: Vail Gateway Plaza
Dear cary:
As.we discussed, the following items needed to be cleared upprr-or to issuance of Tenporary Certificate of Occupancy,
1. Enclosed is a letter from Design Mechanical indicating thatin the event both the retail space and malt smoke detectorsand evacuation systems are act-ivated simultaneously, thernall will have precedence and the retail evacuation systernwiLl be inactive. This will be accomplished and coordinatedbetween the alarm and the control subcontractors and wi1l bereviewed with yourself and the fire rnarshall during ourbuilding inspections.
2. Enclosed is a letter frorn Arnold Gwathmey pratt Architectsindicating that Michaelrs restaurant door will be providedwith fire protection. This is being accornplished with adeluge sprinkler system at the doori, and lgain,,wilt bereviewed during our building inspections. As we discussed,because of the negative air pressure in Michael ,s space,the,possibifity of smoke passing into the corridor is notanticipated to be a problern.
If you have any guestions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Re: Vail Gateway Plaza
Gentlernen:
As we have discussed RJC has established a goal of December 10,l-990 for project substantiar cornpletion and Tenporary certificiteof occupancy. The following is an overvievr of tne anticipatedscope of work.on the base building to be cornpleted after thatdate, and.projections for anticipitea completion. This listdoes not include condorniniurn fin-ishes and- retail improvementswhich are being cornpleted under separate perrnit.
1. ceneral Conditions.a. The Town of Vail will al_rnost certainly reguire theDeveloper to post a bond guaranteeing performance ofremaining items such as landscaping, -tieIIis, etc.The bond will need to be in plate frior to the Townof Vail issuing a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy.b. Recording of the condorninium map will need to becompleted.
2. Sitework.a. The layout and design changes for the new location ofVail Road has extended the schedule of site concretegrading, etc. approximately 30 days, The site concretewiIJ. probably not be cornplete onsite until the week ofDecember 10, L990.b. As discussef in our previous letter, the landscapingand irrigation work will have to be deferred until iextseason. RJC has provided the owner a deductive alter-nate to elirninate the landscaping and sprinkLer workfrom RJC,S scope.c. New details for the site retaining walls on the westside of the buil_ding, including piecast, slate facing,etc., will not be completed untit the week ot I2/!7/5O.This delay is due to the road change, and the redesignwhich RJC received during the week-oi November 1Zth.d. The trellis on the east side of the building iscurrently not in RJC's contract. RJC needs- furtherdirection on how to proceed. If RJC is authorized toproceed, depending on the availability of rnaterials,the work would not be completed until-spring of L99i..

Stee].a. RJC has not been authorized to proceed with the workand additional cost for unit #5 guard rail andmechanical screening. As we understand it, this guardrail is indicated on the current Design Review Boirdbuilding program. We anticipate a 60-day durationbetween the date RJC is authorized to proceed and thedate the work is conpleted.b. The chimney capg are currently on hold. RJC is pricingan alternate solution to the metal fabrication details-shown on the contract documents. RJC will needapproxinately 30 days frorn the date we are authorized toproceed, to cornpletion of the work. These chimney capsare indicated on the current elevations and the O-esig;lReview Board building progratn.
Carpentry.a. The wood fasciars and soffits completion is anticipated
- during the week of December 10, 1990.b. The cedar rail- at the balcony cornpletion is anticipatedduring the week of December iO, 1-990.c. The mall columns and rnillwork is being perforrned byanother contractor. RJC has no control- over thescheduLe of that work.
Thermal & Moisture protection.
a. Some of the niscellaneous caulking on the site andbuilding witl not be totally compieted. We anticipatecornpletion during the week of Oelenber L7, 1990.
Doors & Windows.a. The south stair upgrades are currently on hold.Harding Glass and RJC are reviewing piicing on currentscope. If RJC is authorized to proceed without prj_cing,anticipate completion during the-week of December 17th.
Fin ishes .a. Drywall work in units #1, #3, #5, and f6, is apparentlyon hold. The Town of vail has indicated that thestructural steel is to be drywall protected before thetown will issue a Certificat6 of otcupancy on theproject. RJC_and Fenimore Drywall have approximately2-1,/2 weeks of . sheet rocking, - not incluai-ni f inishini,for the remaining condorniniums. If we are authorize6'to proceed in all condorniniums, I would project aDecember l-0, 1990 completion.

TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT
VAIL GATEVAY
Vail, Colorado
Summary of Findings
IVe have assessed the potential impact of redeveloping the existing vail
village Amoco station parcel into a commercial/residential land use
consisting of specialty retail shops, a bank, office space and 13 residence
units- For our design day analysis (typical day during the mid-February to
late March high winter season), we estimate the proposed development will
tenerate about 350 fewer daily trips and about 40 fewer peak hour vehicle
trips than the existing service station /car wash. Since all vehicular access
to the proposed vail Gateway development would be via a vail Road access
drive, vail Road could experience about 3i more peak hour vehicle trips and
south Frontage Road about 80 fewer peak hour trips as a product of
re development and closure of the existing south Frontage Road access to
the Amoco station. This shift of traffic volumes accessing the Amoco
parcel will impart a minor benefit to the four-leg Vail Road/South Frontage
Road intersection because demand for the heavy southbound to eastbound
left turn will be slightly reduced. Left turn demand from this and the
eastbound-to-northbound left turn, coupled with the proximity of the I-20
eastbound ramp intersections, will result in peak period congestion even
after planned traffic signals replace the existing four-way stop controlled
intersection. Although reduced volumes 8enerated by redevelopment of this
parcel would not dramatically effect intersection operation, closing,
consolidating, and relocating the access to this parcel will improve opera-
tion at the south and east approaches to the vail Road/south Frontage Road
intersection.
Existing Conditions
The proposed vail Gateway development will be at the main intersection in
Vail Village-South Frontage Road and Vail Road, see Figure l. This
intersection currently is controlled by stop signs at each approach. Traffic
counts taken in March, 1986 show the predominant turning movements are

between south Frontage Road and vail Road to the north (Figure 2). Traffic
volume on vail Road south of the frontage road is considerably less than the
other three legs of the intersection. The four-way intersection experiences
delay at numerous times during the high winter season primarily as a result
of skier traffic travelling between south Frontage Road and the crosely
spaced diamond interchange ramps of I-70 on Vail Road.

EXISTING P.M. PEAK HOUR
TMFFIC VOLTJME
The existing Amoco station on the site of the proposed devetopment serves
Iocal and interstate motorists with eight dual product fuel pumps 06
dispensers) and one self-serve car wash bay. Mechanical repairs and vehicle
maintenance are provided as well. The station has one access drive to south
Frontage Road and unrestricted access along the vail Road trontage. Based
on annual, peak season, and peak three-hour fuel sales data provided by the
service station owner, peak day volume Eenerates more than 1300 vehicle
trips during the l5-hour day. 'The three-hour peak demand period accounts
for about 400 vehicle trips- This typically occurs between 3 and 6 p.m.
Data provided by the Institute of rransportation Engineers in the publication
Trip Generation would suggest this g-pump station would generate about
1060 vehicle trips per average weekday. on a typical fair weather day, the
car wash will generate another 100 vehicle trips, for a total average
weekday volume of about 1160 vehicle trips. Based on trip generation
-3-Tft ^d
studies by the california Department of Transportation (caltrans), service
station peak hour volume is about lz% of the daily volume and the peak hour
of activity occurs during the early afternoon. An estimation of future trips
generated by the proposed redevelopment of this parcel is discussed in the
following section.
Proposed Development
The vail Gateway development will contain lzrooo square feet of specialty
retail shops, a possible(l) 41000 square foot banking space, 4,000 square feet
of office space, and on the upper levels, 12 two-bedroom apartment/
condominium units and one 3-bedroom penthouse unit. All vehicular access
will be to undertround parking. Access to parking wi.ll be on vail Road at
the south edge of the property about liO feet from the south Frontage Road
intersect.ion.
Applying trip generation rates from the Institute of rransportation
Engineersrrrip Generation publication would suggest the sum of individual
land uses proposed would generate l30i daily and 153 p.m. peak hour vehicle
trips on an average weekday. These estimates are based on studies
conducted at suburban sites having little or no public transit service and
usually an abundance of surface parking available. vehicle trip generation
in this Vail viltage settint will be somewhat less than the ITE rates for
several reasons:
The development will draw largely from the surrounding Vail
Village commercial and resident base rather than diversion
from I-70.
With limited on-site parking available, a number of retail,
office and bank employees residing within Vail will either walk
or use the free public shuttle bus rather than use on-site
parking spaces needed for short term customer or visitor use.

9. The retail space will largety fuction as an addition to the
existing 2901000 square foot commercial core area of Vail
Village. Many shoppers will have already parked in the Village

via courtesy vans, limos, or scheduled or charter buses. These
Itransit-captiver vistiors will either walk or use the free
shuttle to visit Vail Gateway and other Village attractions.

These vehicle trips will distribute over the local roadway system according
to place of residence and access to the regional roadway system (I-20). Vail
Road south of the project serves only local abutting properties. Meadow
Drive and Gore Creek Drive intersect Vail Road but each is a restricted
auto-free zone. south Frontage Road is the major collector in vail, linking
East and west vail with vail village. vail Road north of the site accesses I-
70 eastbound and westbound ramps. Assumed peak hour trip distribution for
the proposed projects is:

the net change in 4J fewer peak hour site trips
would be distributed over the proposed access system. IVith all access to
Vail Gateway via Vail Road, the section of Vail Road immediately south of
Frontage Road would experience an increase of 38 vehicle trips as compared
to the existing case. South Frontage Road, on the other hand, would have 45
fewer vehicle trips east of Vail Road and 35 fewer vehicle trips east of the
parcel. This change is a direct result of closing the existing South Frontage
Road access to the site upon redevelopment.
Local street operation was tested for future buildout of Vail Village. The
future (year 2005) background volume was derived from the "I-70 Main Vail
Interchange Draft Report, December 15, 1987." Traffic assignments were
based on reassigned 1986 trafJic volumes associated with the proposed
construction of button hook eastbound I-70 on and off ramps near the Vail
Associates shop as recommended in the interchange report. Mainline
(freeway) growth for this twenty-year period is estimated by by the State
Highway Department to be 58% over 1986 volumes. Considering the

YEAR 2OO5 P.M. PEAK HOUR VOLTJME
The p.m. peak hour was selected as the most critical for design purPoses.
since it includes afternoon skier trafJic peak activity and a period of
rel'atively high project traffic demand. As this intersection is slated for
traffic signal installation in the near future, our traffic operation assumed
eight-phase, fully actuated signal control. Average intersection delay for
the design condition was computed to be 36.41 seconds per vehide which is
considered Level of Service D operation. This level of delay is usually
considered acceptable for design purPoses in urban settings. At other times
of the day and during off peak seasonsr average detay will be
correspondingly lower.

Left turns into the site were investigated for left turn storate requirements.
For the year 20 design year, the left turn demand oI 30 vehicles per hour
conflicts with an estimated 328 northbound vehicles per hour. For
unsignalized traffic control, this would sugSest a storate length of 40 feet
for the left turn into Vail Gateway. The access drive is about 150 feet south
of Frontage Road. Hence the left turn storage for northbound Vail Road to
westbound Frontage Road at the tralfic signal would have about 90 feet
available, alter transitions, for left turn storate. This would be space
enough for four autos which should be sufficient for the estimate peak
demand of 65 left turning vehicles per hour.
Condusion
Redevelopint the existing Amoco service station site into a planned
retail/office/residential development will result in somewhat fewer daily
and peak hour vehicle trips generated by this parcel. Closing the existing
South Frontage Road access drive will help reduce conflicts and potential
delays at the four-leg Vail Road/South Frontage Road intersection.
Locating the sole access drive for the proposed Vail Gateway develoPment
at the south end of the property will enable lett turns into the site to store
in a separate lane out of the way of southbound thru travel on Vail Road.
The net effect of each of these traffic operation changes that are part of
the proposed development project will be improved traffic operation for
vehicles passing through the main Vail Village intersection.

PART ONE - THE DEVELOPUEM PI,AN
Palmer Development proposes to redevelop the site of the exieting
Anoco Service Station located upon portions of Lots N and O'
Block 5D, Vail Vlllage First Filing (see Figure l, Vicinity Map).
The land is currently zoned Heavy Service Zone District and has
been the site of a gas station since the early days of Vail. The
etation has been nanaged by a nunber of different oPerators over
the years and is currently operated aa an Anoco Station with 8
gas pumpsr a car wash, and 4 service and repair bays. In
additionr the station sells snack and sundry itens such as PoPrlce, candyr dnd other food ltems.
The site currently is totally covered by building and asphalt and
access for vehicles exists at two points: one a shared entry wtth
VaiI Village Inn on the eaEt end of the property off of the South
Frontage Road and the second along tbe entlre western property
boundary adjacent to Vail Road. There is no specifically defined
pedestrian access to the site.
The proposal being made at this tirne is to redevelop the site
tnto a mixed-use developnent to be called Vail Gateway containingretailr office, cornnercialr and residential uses. The overall.intent is that the site can be redeveloped in such a manner that
resulte ln a highly attractive building and site which is a rnaJor
focal point of VaiI. since the site is located at the nain entryfor people arriving to Vail and forms an inportant first
impression of Vail for rnany visitorsr it is irnportant that thesite be improved and, to the extent possible, become an extension
of the character of Vail Village.
The schedule for the redevelopment antlcipates denolition of the
existing structure commencing irnmediately upon the close of thecurrent ski season and construction beginning innediatelythereafter. Occupancy of the retail and corunercial portions of
the building is scheduled at the start of next ski seaaon.
Therefore, it is intended that the site will be totally
redeveloped and upgraded prior to the 1989 World Alpine
Chanpionships and will help to present a very positive image atVailrs rfront doori.
As depicted on the Site Plan, Figure 2' the proposed developnent
would consolidate the existing poorly defined vehicular accesspoints into one location off of Vail Road. In additionr the
large anount of surface parking will be elirninatecl with vlrtuallyall parking acconnodated wlthin an underground parking garage.
Short ternr parking spaces will be provided ulrcn a portion of thesite along Vail Road. Pedestrian access to the site and along
the siteer perineter will be provided as shown and will serve to
provide a link to the approved vail village Inn expansion which
abuts thls property on its south and east sides.

In order to provide a pleasing relationship with both the
lntersectlon of Vail Road and Frontage Road and with the Proposedsurrounding developnent of the Vail Vi11a9e Inn' the building has
been deelgned to have the greatest setback off of the
lntereection (or northwest corner of the site) and then step uPin height frorn that point frorn one to four stories. oriented
towards the intersection will be an intereatlng and inviting
arcade rhich covers an interior retail area on the first level .In a<ldltion, an area hag been set aside near the lntergection for
the placement of a sculptureT fountainr or other suitable
landscape feature.
It is anticipated that the street level retall shops will provide
an interesting pedestrian experience along the north and weat

PART TWO - rMPAqIS/TTUTIGATION
In accordance with the Tonn of VaiI requirements regardingpotential environnental irnpacts of proposed projectsT thefollowing section discusses the proposal in terns of changes
which night result due to the proposed development upon the site.Also discussed are the relationships of the proposal to various
Town of vail'plans, goalsl and policies.
Hvdroloqic Condit ions:
Hydrologic conditions associated sith the site will be inprovedas a result of the proposal . While no current hazard has beenidentlfied or exiatsr the potential of the current use of thesite as a gas and automobile service station certainly ranks high
on the list of land uses which can result in the pollutlon and
contamLnation of both natural rvater courses and ground water.
Leakage of underground tanks as well aE surface runoff of
contaminants such a6 gas, oil, and transnission fluids all couldpotentially contribute to inpacts upon hydrologic conditions.
The el.imination of these potential sources fron the site will bea benefit.
Virtually aLl drainage upon the site will either be collected asa part of a roof collection systen. Drainage fron the parking
garage will be designed in a manner which will collect all silt
and oil drippings whlch night occur.
Atnospheric Conditions:
Potential impacts fron the proposed development upon atnosphericconditions will result nainly fron the additional 13 fireplacesplanned to be included within the building. It can be expectedthat the wood snoke fron these fireplaces will contribute to theair pollution which Vail currently experiences periodically
throughout the year as a result of the inversions that occurwithin the Gore Valley. Fireplaces will be constructed andinstalled in a manner which meets Town of Vail and State of
Colorado standards for ernissions.
Due to the renoval of the gasoline pumps the fumes which are aninvisible but objectionable environnental hazard will be
el.iminated fron the site. This will be a positive impact uponthe atmospheric conditions upon the property.

&ise-dLollsg:
Nolse and odor impacts associated with the proposed developnent
wltl be rninimal and should be lnproved over the current
conditlons upon the site. Removal of the gas and service station
will be positive with regard to this aspect of the site and its
relationship to the proposed Vail Village Inn project. The
reduction of the large nunber of surface parking spaces upon the
siter as well as the elimlnation of the totally autonobile
orlented use of the site will dranaticallyr reduce both noise and
exhaust associated with the use of the site aE a service station.
The proposed underground garage wlll be mechanically exhausted
and ventlng will be located in the northeast corner of the
structure in an area which will have the least arnount of negative
inpact.
Visual Conditions:
The ecenic value of the property will be enhanced as a result of
the development proposal. The current use of the site aE a
gasotlne and service station is visually unattractive both day
ind night and the visual i.nprovenent of vailrs natn entry ls a
key objective of the redeveloprnent of the property.
The proposed redeveloprnent will result in the establishment of
both a streetscape and architectural quality which is fitting for
a location with the proninence and importance of this site. It
is important that this location be upgraded to provide a positive
first lmpression to the traveller arriving to Vail. Currentlyl
and especially ln the evenlngl the impression one gets at the
four-way stop is not much different than one gets at nany other
exits along our Interstate Freeway Systern. The proposal will
help to change this visualization of Vail and create the interest
and excitement which ls fitting for our najor "gateway' (see
Figures 9-13).
At the tirne the vail Village Inn Special Developrnent District $tas
forned it was recognized that the distant views to vail Hountain
which are experienced upon arrival at the intersection of Vail
Road and the South F rontage Road are pleasant views and should
not be totally elininated by new developrnent. The nassing of thevail Village Inn is such that views to the upper portions of
various ski runs does exist. Since the VaiI Gateway site lies in

Land Use Conditions:
The land use conditions upon the site are significantly affected
as a result of the proposal . Not only does the proposal result
in a major inprovement ln the type and character of land use uPon
the eite, but the planned redevelopment also serves to inplenent
a multitude of goals and policies of the Town of Vail including
those incorporated into the Vail Land Use Plan, VaiI Conmunity
Action PIan, Draft Vail Village Magter Plan' and vail Retail
Study.
The primary change in land use contemplated by the proposal is
the elirnination of the classification of the site aa "HeavyService". Uses currently designated for location within the
Heavy Service zone District include the following:
l. Ski lifts and tows;2. Accessory dwelling unit for service personnel;
3. Anirnal hospitals and kennels' dog kenneli4. Automotive service etations;5. Building materials supply stores;5. Business offices;7. Cornmercial laundry and cleaning services;8. Corporation yards;9. Machine shops;10. uotor vehicle sales and servicesill. Repair garagesi
12. Repair shops;13. Tire sales and services including retreading
recapping;14. Trucking terninale and truck service stationsi15. Vehicle storage yards.16. Warehousesi and17. Woodworking and cabinet shops.
and
As indicated previously the proposed Special Developnent District
would consist of office space, conmercial and retail sPace, and
residential dwellinq units and is intended to be an upgrade and
enhancernent of this area. It is the applicant's feeling thatthis type of land use is nuch more positive for the comnunity
than the existing heavy service classification. It is intended
that the underlying zone District would be Commercial Core One'
Several Tonn of Vail goals and policles indicate that the
r redevelopment proposed wlll be a positive change in land use:

New growth and revitalization are essential to the
continued success of Vaill
Upgrading and renodeling of structures and site
inprovenents should be encouraged;
The community should stinulate and improve ambiance
within the core areas.
Vail Land Use Plan:
During the Land Use Plan process goat staternents itere developed
which reflected the general consensus of the public and are to be
used in the revietr procesa for new developnent proposals. Goals
applicable to the proposed redevelopnent of the tunoco site are
the following:
1. Vail should continue to grow in a controlled
environnent, naintaining a balance between residentialr
commercial and recreational uses to serve both the
visitor and the perrnanent resident.
2. The quality of the environnent including airr water and
other naturaL resources should be protect,ed as the Town
g rows.
3. The guality of development should be naintained and
upgraded whenever possible.
4. The original theme of the old Village Core should be
carried into new deveiopnent in the village Core
through continued inplenentation of the Urban Design
Guide Plan.
5. Vail should acconnodate most of the additional growth
in existing developed areas (infiIl areas).
6. Comnercial growth should be concentrated in existing
comrnercial ireas to acconunodat.e both local and visitor
needs.
Vail Villaqe ltaster PIan:
The Land Use Plan adopted November 18, 1985r specified a
preferred Land Use PIan for the Town of vail. The Vail Gateway
site was designated within the Plan as being governed by the
Village l,laster Plan. Although the Village llaster Plan has yet to
ne ofiicially adoptedl the draft. of this Village PIan contains
many goals ind poticies which deal with the redevelopnent of
propertles within and adjacent to Vail village' including the
subject site.

itixed Use Sub-Area is the designation given to the area which
@posed vail cateyray Building. The Plan Etates
that:
nThere is a great deal of potential for improvements to both
public and piivate facilities in the area. Among 9!t9se is
Lhe opportunity to develop gateuay entries to the Village at
the 4liay stop and at the- intersection of Vail Road and
lleadow Oiive. Pedestrianization in the area wiII benefit
fron infill developnent and streetscape inprovenents
throughout the sub-lrea. Significant increases in the
vtllagers overnight bed base rnay also be accommodated in
this sub-area.t
Goals and objectives specified for this area which are applicable
to the proposal are:
I. Encourage hlgh quality redevelopment while preeerving
the unique architectural scale of the Village in order
to sustiin vailrs sense of conmunity and identity.
2. To foster a strong tourist industry and to promote
year-around econolnic health and viability for the
ViIIage and for the community as a whole.
3. To recognize as a top priority the importance of
naintaining and enhan-ing the walking experience
throughout the Village.
4. Encourage the development of nevt comnercial activity
where c6rnpatible with the existing character of che
Vil lage.
It is clear that the Vail Gateway will nake a positive steP
towards achieving these goals and planning for the project has
been based upon helping to implernent these goals.
@:
The Analysis of VaiI Retail Space needs completed in June of 1988
suggested thatr although exiiting approved plojects and areas
pfinned for retail development appear to be sufficient to Providelhe retai!. space requlred-to meel the dernand anticlPated through
the year 2000, it rnay not be desirable for developnent to occur
in the areas far outside of the existing core areas. The study
concluded that, fron the perspective of lmproving the retail
economy, the pedestrian flow to- locations off of Bridge Street in
Vaif Viilage loutd be enhanced by new retail areas Iocated in
infill locitions. The Vail Gateway ls such a site and will be a
positive step towards increasing the pedestrian traffic along
l,teadow Drive and the vicinity of the vail Village Inn.

The Urban Design Guide PIan for Vail Village has been an integralpart of the redeveloprnent of properties within Vail Village over
the past seven years. The Plan was adopted to guide the deeign
elernents of the various proposed new bulldings or building
remodels within the Vlllage. While all of the design
coneiderations within the Guide Plan are not meant to be
applicable to the subject site nor are they appropriate' the
proposed building has been designed to reffect nany of tbe deeign
elenents encouraged within the heart of Vail Village.
Design considerations such aa the pedestrianization and
streetscape frarnework of the Village have been incorporated into
the site design for VaiI Gateway and will help to improve the
pedestrian experience in the vicinity of VaiI Road and East
Meadon Drive by creating an attractive retail anchor at what canbe deflned as the northwest corner of Vall Village. The
introduction of these design elements in this location will also
help to extend the deslgn character and quality of Vail ViIlage
out to the periphery where it can be irnrnediately visualized by
those arriving to Vail and, thereforer exhibit a positive imageof the comnunity and help to announce the excitenent and vitalityof Vail.
Ehe Guide PIan encourages the study and upgrade of the four-way
stop areas as a rnajor entry to Vail and nany inprovenents have
been nade to thts area recently in terms of signage and
landscaping. Further improvements are contemplated as a resultof the recent sign program and no doubt others will be
incorporated into the Town-wide Landscape Inprovement Plancurrently in progress. The najor upgrade and redevelopment of
the subject slte can only help to strengthen the inage of this
area of Town and is a atrong indication of the private sector'swillingness to participate in the enhancernent of the community.
Circulation and TransDortation Conditions:
TDA' Inc, has prepared an analysis of the proposal redevelopmentof the site {see Appendix). The traffic study evaluates current
and future roadnay conditions, assesaes the traffic operationalimpacts of the project and rnakes recomnendations regardingtraffic operations.
The traffic study found that the shift in traffic volunes
accessing the subject site will result ln a rninor benefit to theVail Road/South Frontage Road Intersection becauge demand for the
southbound to eastbound left turn will be slightly reduced.
Alsor the reduced volunes generated by the redevelopnent proposal
and relocating and consolidating the access to the property will
improve traffic operation at the south and east approaches to the
4-VIay Intersection.

TRAFFIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT
VAIL GATEVAY
Vail, Colorado
Summary of Findings
We have assessed the potential impact of redeveloping the existing Vail
Viltage Amoco station parcel into a commercial/residential land use
consisting of specialty retail shops, a bank, office space and 13 residence
units. For our desitn day analysis (typical day during the mid-February to
late March high winter season), we estimate the proposed development will
tenerate about 350 fewer daily trips and about 40 fewer peak hour vehicle
trips than the existing service station /car wash. Since atl vehicular access
to the proposed Vail Gateway development would be via a Yail Road access
drive, Vail Road could experience about 35 more peak hour vehicle trips and
South Frontage Road about 80 fewer peak hour trips as a product of
re development and closure of the existing South Frontage Road access to
the Amoco station. This shift of traffic volumes accessing the Amoco
parcel will impart a minor benefit to the four-leg Vail Road/South Frontage
Road intersection because demand for the heavy southbound to eastbound
left turn will be slightty reduced. Left turn demand from this and the
eastbound-tenorthbound left turn, coupled with the proximity of the I-70
eastbound ramp intersections, will result in peak period congestion even
after planned traffic signals replace the existing four-way stop controlled
intersection. Although reduced volumes generated by redevelopment of this
parcel would not dramatically effect intersection operation, closing,
consolidating, and relocating the access to this parcel will improve opera-
tion at the south and east approaches to the Vail Road/South Frontage Road
intersection.
Existing Conditions
The proposed Vail Gateway development will be at the main intersection in
Vail Vitlage-South Frontage Road and Vail Road, see Figure l. This
intersection currently is controlled by stop signs at each approach. Traffic
counts taken in March, l9E6 show the predominant turning movements are

EXISTING P.M. PEAK HOUR
TRAFFIC VOLUME
The existing Amoco station on the site of the proposed development serves
local and interstate motorists with eitht dual product fuel pumps (16
dispensers) and one self-serve car wash bay. Mechanical repairs and vehicle
maintenance are provided as well. The station has one access drive to South
Frontage Road and unrestricted access along the Vail Road frontage. Based
on annual, peak season, and peak three-hour fuel sales data provided by the
service station owner, peak day volume generates more than 1300 vehicle
trips during the l5-hour dap 'The three-hour peak demand period accounts
for about 400 vehicle trips. This typically occrrrs between 3 and 5 p.m.
Data provided by the lnstitute of Transportation Engineers in the publication
Trip Generation would suggest this E-pump station would generate about
1050 vehicle trips pcr average weekday. On a typical fair weather day, the
car wash will generate another 100 vehicle trips, for a total average
weekday volume of about 1160 vehicle trips. Based on trip teneration

studies by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), service
station peak hour volume is about 12% of the daily volume and the peak hour
of activity occurs during the early afternoon. An estimation of future trips
generated by the proposed redevelopment of this parcel is discussed in the
following section.
Proposed Dcvelopment
The Vail Gateway development will contain l2r100 square feet of specialty
retail shops, a possible(l) 41000 square foot banking space, 4,000 square feet
of office space, and on the upper levels, 12 two-bedroom apartment/
condominium units and one 3-bedroom penthouse unit. All vehicular access
will be to underground parking. Access to parking will be on Vail Road at
the south edge of the property about lJO feet from the South Frontage Road
intersection.
Applying trip teneration rates from the Institute of Transportation
Engineers'Trip Generation publication would suggest the sum of individual
land uses proposed would generate 1305 daily and 153 p.m. peak hour vehicle
trips on an average weekday. These- estimates are based on studies
conducted at suburban sites having little or no public transit service and
usually an abundance of surface parking available. Vehicle trip generation
in this Vail Village settint will be somewhat less than the ITE rates for
several reasons:
The development will draw largely from the surrounding Vail
Yillage commercial and resident base rather than diversion
from I-70.
With limited on-site parking available, a number of retail,
office and bank employees residing within Vail will either walk
or use the free public shuttle bus rather than use on-site
parking spaces needed for short term customer or visitor use.
l. Analysis assumed bank space in lieu of additional retait space as afiworst case" scenario. Retail p.m. peak hour trip generation rate is about
two-thirds les sthan bank trip rate.

3. The retail space will largely fuction as an addition to the
existing ?901000 sguare foot commercial corc area of Vail
Village. Many slroppers will have already parked in the Village
or Lionshead parking Sarates.
4. A sizeable number of winter destination visitors arrive in Vail
via courtesy vans, limos, or scheduled or charter buses. These
ltransit-captiven vistiors will either walk or use the free
shuttle to visit Vail Gateway and other Village attractions"
Vith these travel characteristics in mind, we have factored the respective
free-standing suburban trip generation rates by
retail - 60%
bar* - 50%
office - E096
residence -70%
Accordingly, the Vail Gateway development would generate ElO daily
vehide trips of which 95 (45 in, 50 out) would occur during the 4-5 p.m. peak
hour.
These vehicle trips will distribute over the local roadway system according
to place of residence and access to the regional roadway system (I-70). Vail
Road rcuth of the project serves only local abutting properties. Meadow
Drive and Gore Creek Drive intersect Yail Road but each is a restricted
auto-free zone. South Frontage Road is the major collector in Vail, linking
East and Vest Yail with Vail Village. Vait Road north of the site accesses I-
70 eastbound and westbound ramps. Assumed peak hour trip distribution for

Figure 3 illustrates how the net change in 4-i fewer peak hour site trips
would be distributed over the proposed access system. Vith all access to
Vail Gateway via Vail Road, the section of Vail Road immediately south of
Frontage Road would experience an increase of 3E vehicle trips as compared
to the existing c.rse. South Frontage Road, on the other hand, would have 45
fewer vehicle trips east of Vail Road and 35 fewer vehicle trips east of the
parcel. This change is a direct result of closing the existing South Frontage
Road access to the site upon redevelopment.
Local street operation was tested for future buildout of Vail Village. The
future (year 2005) background volume was derived from the II-70 Main Vail
Interchange Draft Report, December 15, 19E7." Traffic assignments were
based on reassigned 1986 traffic volumes associated with the proposed
construction of button hook eastbound I-70 on and off ramps near the Vail
Associates shop as recommended in the interchange report. Mainline
(freeway) growth for this twenty-year period is estimated by by the State
Highway Department to be 58% over 1986 volumes. Considering the

relatively buiJtout nature of vail village with respect to the vail valley, we

The p.m. peak hour was selected as the most critical for design PurPoses
since it includes afternoon skier traffic peak activity and a period of
rehtively high project traffic demand. As this intersection is slated for
traffic signal installation in the near future, our traffic operation assumed
eight-phase, tully actuated signat control. Average intersection delay tor
the design condition was comPuted to be 36'41 seconds per vehide which is
considered Level of Service D operation. This level of delay is usually
considered acceptable for design purPoses in urban settints. At other times
of the day and during off Peak seasonst average delay will be
correspondinglY lower.

Left turns into the site were investigated for left turn storage requirements.
For the year 20 design year, the left turn demand of 30 vehicles per hour
conflicts with an estimated 328 northbound vehicles per hour. For
'.r
4nrignalized tratlic control, this would sutgest a storage length of 40 fect
lor the lelt turn into Vail Gateway. The access drive is about 150 feet south
of Frontage Road. Henst the left turn storate for northbolrd Vait Road toi'
westtornd Frontage Road et the trattic signal vottld have aboqrt 90 fcef
availabler atter transitionsr for left turn storage. This would be space
enough for four autos which should be sufficient for the estimate peak
demand of 6J left turning vehicles per hour.
Condusion
Redeveloping the existing Amoco service station site into a planned
retail/office/residential development will result in somewhat fewer daily
and peak hour vehicle rips generated by this parcel. Closing the existing
South Frontage Road access drive will help reduce conflicts and potential
delays at the four-leg Vail Road/South Frontage Road intersection.
Locating the sole access drive for the proposed Vail Gateway development
at the south end of the property will enable left turns into the site to store
in a separate lane out of the way of southbound thru travel on Vail Road.
The net eftect of each of these traflic operation changes that are part of
the proposed development project will be improved traffic oPeration for
veNcles passing through the main Vail Village intersection.

RE: Palmer Development/Conrad SterkeLLease Agreement da!,ed December 6, iggg
Dear Mr. French:
This office has represented Conrad Sterkel and members of his farnilyin connection with the sale of the property and the lease agreementsentered into in connection with thal closing. r have been luppliedwith the copies of your correspondence to Mi. sterkel_ as wel-l- iscopies of relevant reports and evaluations relating to the removal ofthe Amoco property..
under the lease agreement entered. into on December 6, 19gg by conradSterkel, the premises were to be operated and rnaintained as i servicestation up to and incruding March lt, l-989. Mr. sterkel ceased doingbusiness on the premises on March 31, l-9g9 and commenced. an orderryand prompt vacation of his inventory, fixtures and eguipment from theleased prernj-ses. Mr. Sterkel , in a-cordance with the understanding ofthe parties at closing and confirmed by his conversation with JirnAnest at the site renoved all eguipmenl, including doors and wind.ows,from the prernises.. They would be destroyed in connection with thedenolition and their removal in fact savld parmer DevelopmentsubstantiaL costs of demolition and removal .
As you know the understanding between the parties was that thebuilding would be completely dernolished on or about May 1, l_989 andtherefore there was consequently no agreement between iy client andPalmer Development regarding se-uring the premises after theternination of the lease and vacation of tie prernises. Absent anysuch.agreenent, it is my opinion, that cornpliince with fire and "ir"tyrequirements after terrnination of l-ease anb. vacation of tne fi"*i=e=would be the property owners/1and.lord riabirity and obligatiln.
At _closing your client took title to the property with fur-l knowredgeand awareness of, and subject to, the wrilteir teise to the prernisesbetween the Sterkels and Arnoco Oil Corporation u-nder which i,rnoco oil

had installed and maintained the oil and cJas storage and distributionsystens which are described in the l'Additi-onaL MiscellaneousProVisions to Lease Agreementrr as rrtanks ernd linesr.-- ---.-
That lease cancelration was recorded on December 9, 1988 in Book 496at Page 62L of the Eagle county clerk and Recorder's office withcancellation effective April 1, L989. uniler the terms of that LeaseAmoco oil-agreed to remove al-l tanks and l.ines within thirty days ofsuch termination, and Sterkel agreed to rneike such arrangements and usehis best efforts to secure completion of t:he work with:-n:o days.
Amoco oiI, in a tinely manner, hired bonded and approved contractorsto remove such tanks and lines. Such removal included the removaL andhauling of Lhree fuel storage tanks, two waste oi1 tanks and allrelated transmissions lines to a toxic waste disposal site in .Denver,
colorado as welr as the removal and hauling to the same disposal siteof twelve truck Loads of contaminated soil. Those procedures wereobserved in there entirety by representatives of bolh the Town of VailDepartment of Health, acting to insure enforcement and compliance withcolorado state Rules and Regulations, which are in turn based onFederal standards, and Town of vail Fire Department which supervisedand approved the means and rnethods utilized to remove the tanks and1ines.
Amoco then derivered, in a tinery rnanner, its verification and proofof completion of the removal of the underground storage tanks,distribution lines connected thereto, dispensing uniti, andcontarninated soils, (except for some ninor soil replaced. on the sitetrith the -approval of Jirn Anest to act as a base for asphalting of thedisturbed ground).
Ground water tests were also conducted at the expense of Amoco andthose results were provided to you. My investigation has revealedthat neither Federal Governrnent nor the State Dipartrnent of Health hasa procedure for issuance of a certificate of satisfactory completionand that-the only action.that they take is a disapproval or rejectionof procedures and conditions'with a recommendation of remedial-rneasures that rnust be taken to bring the property within compliance.
Review of the correspondence indicates ttrat any objection to thequality of ground l'rater tests on the site resutts in a concern thatthis condition rnay reguire a filtration and purification of groundwater that is pumped out of the construction site during excivationand construction. My discussions with paul Fairbanks, thehydrogeologist for Amoco oil , and review of his letter indicates and.confirns that Anoco stands ready to provide, at their sole cost and -

expense, arl necessary ltround water filtration and purificationfacilities at the site. They have also committea to provideassistance in the removal of any additional contarninated soil that maybe found on the property, in locations other than those from whichthey excavated trre exisling tanks and lines, if such conditions arerevealed in connection with the excavation of the site. Amoco oil isnot villing to leave determination as to means and methods to palmer
Development, but has expressed a willingness to have theirrepresentative on site to coordinate the removal of any suchcontaminated soils or waters at the sole cost of Amoco.
Under the Lease Agreement, Conrad Sterkel , has in my opinion,performed his obligations fully as he has terrninated business on March31, 1989, he has coordinated and infact secured the removal of al]tttanks and linesrr ltitfrin the reguired thirty day period and turned thesite over to you to commence construction oi or-alout May 1, l-9g9.
r have talked to officials at the Town of vail and they inform thatthey never requested any soils or water inforrnation reports andwere concerned solely that the regulations and procedures for removalwere forlowed and cornplied with by Amocors contiactors. Also myconversations with the Planning Department indicate that on or lboutMay J., 1989, Palmer Developments Architects had not yet obtained finalplan check approval, and in fact have not to date paid. over $l"2,oooowed to the Town of vail for such plan check serviles,had beendirected to take no further actj-on-on their plan checi procedures. ram also informed that you have never obtainel approval irom the Townof vail of a plan of construction proced.ures reilting to the usage ofthe Frontage Road and Vail Road adjacent to the site.
In my discussion with Paul Fairbanks he nentioned a conversation rnwhich he was infortned that the construction loan could. not be closeduntil Amoco provided certain certifications and verificationssatisfactory to the bank. Neither Mr. sterkel nor Amoco had beeninformed prior to May l-, L989 of the fonn and content of anvcertifications or reports that would be required by any co.r3tructionlender- when Mr. Fairbanks inquired as to who he should contactdiscuss these requirements wi{h at the construction lenderrs office,representatives of Pal-mer Deveropment declined to provide hirn withthat information.
rn conclusion it is ury opinion that Mr. conrad sterket is in fullcompliance with the tertns of his lease agreement and his obligationsthereunder and is entitled to an irnmediate rerease of the escrowedfunds. It is ny further opinion that Amoco removed the tanks, related -:

Page 4
lines and dispensing facilities in a tinely manner using experiencedand properly bonded and insured contractors that all removai was doneunder the supervision of the Town of vail Departments of Health andFire and that such agencies have expressed n6 objection to theprocedures and methods used in such removal . The soils and waterexamj-nations indicated a minor ground. water contamination, a situationwhich has been reported to the cororad.o Department of Health withinthe thirty day period required by statute lnd Regulations. Theexperience of Amocors hydrogeologist is that thei.r recommendation andrequirements will be that new telts be conducted (which have beencompleted) and that a filtration and purification system be installedand utilized during the excavation process to preveit the discharge ofuntreated waters into the water system of the Town of vai1, neith6r ofwhich should delay construction. Amoco has agreed to provide at theircost these filtration purification services ai well as assj-stance withcontarninated soils that are discovered. in connection with theexcavation of the property.
rt is also our further interpretation of the agreement between theparties that application for and the issuance 5f a building pernit bythe Town of Vail- for the commencement of denolition or exciv-ation orthe site entitles Mr. Sterkel to the release of aI1 fund.s escrowed. acthe FirstBank of Vail .
Thank you very much for your prompt attention to this matter.have any questions fegl free to contact rny office.

Dear Peter:
A! oul May 15 rnterdepartrnental meeting, we discussed the realignmentof vail Road at the west Meadow Drive intersection, as per yourletter of May 5, r-989. while acknowredging that tnis pioi"lt nu"been depicted on the urban Design cuide-plin for a number-of years,there has never been.overwhelming support for itrs inplernentationfrom some Town of vail departnents. -r retieve the conclusion fromMonday's meeting.was that the project requires a rot of additionalanalysis before it.is actually felsible ind that the project neeas tobe planned and designed in conjunction with future irniroi"*"r,ir-iothe west Meadow Drive corridor. specifically, there ias disagreernentover whether or not an offset may be the besl solution to the-roadrealignrnelt or perhaps even a lelger offset than shown on the urbanDesign Guide plan.
rn general, there.r/ere.l?!-of questions and obviously not too manyanswers about project specifics at this stage of the pioject,sdevelopment. Furthermore, r have heard that there arl financialdifficurties with the ski Museum,s proposed rnoved into the v"ii-village rnn building. r.,eo's money rnay-be better spent at this pointto help the ski Museum move so that we have a vacairt site to "oirwith on the west side of vail noad. Due to the rnore than fulr plateof capital .iruprovement projects planned for 1.999, it would bevirtually. impossible to do the required design work and construct theroad.realignment this year. However, personirry r feel that the road.rearignrnent project can be a valuable one and cln acconplish the

intended purposes of lesseningstop, as weII as enhancing the

Dear Sirs:

On llay 16, 1989, I contacledGary llurrain, Town of VaiI Chlef Building Offlclal, and madeinquiry into the status of ttre proposed tonstruction. I erasinforned the constructlon start date had not been established.
